Christiansen, who has achieved a greater prominence for Valparaiso University by his out- standing work in the athletic depart- ment; who has fostered a spirit of sportsmanship and good fellowship, not only among the members of his respective teams, but likewise among all the students of this institution; who has been influential in attracting new students to our campus; to him, who has worthily deserved our esteem and gratitude, we gratefully dedicate this Record of 1932. Indium Repulsed by the Unrujjch Strength of tbb Opposing Army. Fore wo rd Indiana, the state that treasures Valparaiso University, holds an out- standing position in the story of the progress of our country. In the theme we have brought out certain developments which have contrib- uted to her growth and honor and which have made Indiana famous. If we can impress upon your minds how highly Indiana is esteemed in her rel- ative position with other states, if we can create an appreciation and love for her, and if you are urged on to do greater things because of what has been done in the past, our efforts in organizing this Record have not been in vain.

Vast fortunes have been greatly reduced; bank accounts have disappeared, as it were, over night; material pos- sessions generally have lost much of their former worth and value. While many of our fellowmen have sustained heavy losses through the past three years, the young men and women Who are leaving our institution as graduates this year have come into possession of a treasure which no financial crisis can ever take from them and Which has fitted them better to meet any emergency Which may arise in the future. A good education is one of those intangible assets which is of enduring value. We congratulate these young people up0n their good fortune, and as they now leave us to go out into life, we bid them faithfully to use the talent entrusted to them in the service of God and their fellow- men, and always to remember one of the lessons Which the bitter experiences of the past few years has taught us that ua man,s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things Which he possessethf, President mmmmlhlIMINKTH XIII IN W- College of Liberal Arts F. W. KROENCKE Dean i 1 4 I I 1 I J v! s' I am the College of Liberal Arts, the basic institution of higher learning. 1 My true mission has ever been, as at the time of my birth, during the Dark 1 Ages, to bring light to the children of men, a better day, a brighter future. I have brought light. There are my torch bearers, among a long line of them, a Luther, a Pasteur, an Agassiz, a Jane Adams. Thousands in the course of years leave my halls to spend their life in service. Of course, I am criticized and evaluated, sometimes constructively, sometimes destructively, by an Erasmus, a McConn, a Flexner. Ever and anon I adjust myself to the changing needs of society. To classic learn- ing I have added modern literature and to both, science. Thus I continue to transmit spiritual goods to on-coming generations. Lovers of mankind expect much of me. I can succeed only in the measure in Which graduates live my advice and think of me in their labors and their prayers. In order that the Children of men may share in my benefactions ever tomorrow and thereafter-seniors, carry on! By W Music Building Page Eighteen College of Engineering HOWARD W. MOODY Dean In the College of Engineering, standard four year curricula in Chemi- cal, Civil, Commercial, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering have been organized. An option in the Division of Mechanical Engineering affords the first three years of a curriculum in Aeronautical Engineering. In each of these curricula, during the junior college years, a broad founda- tion is laid both in the general theory and in the practice in engineering. In the senior college years a certain measure of specialization is necessary in the divisions listed in view of the remarkable advances in engineering in recent years. Associated With the engineering divisions is that of Industrial Arts. To prepare young men for teaching industrial arts and pre-engineering sub- jects in high school, four Curricula have been arranged: Drafting, Machine Shop, Electrical Work, and Wood Work. These curricula have been built around basic engineering subjects. They allow opportunity for majoring along one or the other line of endeavor and include sufficient courses in Education and in the teaching of industrial arts to satisfy all requirements made for those seeking license to teach in the various states. Electrical Enginec ring Labo m tory Page Nineteen I I i ! l, .! HM xXUMIN I5 I'RX'I IUAN Col lege of q3harmacy FREDERICK V. LOFGREN Dean From its inception in 1893, our College of Pharmacy has been diligently co-operating With the leaders in this held in an endeavor to raise our stand- ard among the schools of the country. Beginning With a one year course of flfty weeks giving the men engaged in the profession a slight knowledge of the science of pharmacy, we soon advanced to the two and three year courses, due to the tremendous ad- vances in the fields of medicine, chemistry, and allied sciences. More re- cent surveys, however, indicated that a minimum four year curriculum is indispensable. In 1930, two years prior to its general acceptance, our college adopted the four year course as the minimum for graduation, lead- ing to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy. Our school, to- gether With a few others, has taken this progressive stand since we believe that a cultural, as well as a scientific education, is essential to the successful career of the modern pharmacist. Recognizing the truth of the statement that pharmacy is Without ques- tion a business as well as a profession our college prepares young men and women to enter the business world as retail or Wholesale pharmacists or in the administrative held of manufacturing pharmacy. For those sci- entiflcally inclined, they are thoroughly equipped to enter into the realm of pharmaceutical or chemical research, either With private or govern- mental institutions. JWKW Scimre Building and Mcdiml Building Page Twenty School of Law J . W. MORLAND Dean The primary purpose of the School of Law is to direct its students in preparation for the active practice of the law. The aim is not solely to give information nor is it solely to supply mental training. Discipline in the methods of legal reasoning and analysis are considered of great im- portance; but this is supplemented by much practical information, and by training in the operative functions. The student is acquainted With the ideals and traditions peculiar to the profession. He is given training and practice in drawing legal papers. Courses are offered in pleading and trial practice. A practice court is maintained wherein the student must take all the steps required in the trial of a case. The aid throughout is to train students in habits of legal reasoning and to assist the student in the acquisition of knowledge of a substantial part of the law which he is to practice. The instruction is not local in scope, but is designed to prepare students for the practice of law in any state. Thus a sane and practical balance between the- ory and practice are sought and legislative enact- ments and societal influences are not neglected. Yet the judicial process through Which law takes its final form must necessarily remain the central problem of the School of Law. WW Arts-Law Building Page Twmty-mze CDean 0f Studen rs H. H. KUMNICK Commencement exercises will soon ring down the curtain on another school year. For most students college means not only preparation for life, but life itself. Like others they have felt, in some form or other, the depression of the past year; they have experienced disappointment and pleasure, failure and success, and last but not least, the abounding grace of our merciful Father in heaven. Student life is not a sheltered life, as the man off the campus loves to call it. Senior and junior, sophomore and freshman must go forth each day to face the stem realities and perplexities which life has in store for him. Life is life, and religion is religion, on or off the campus. Absolute fidelity to truth in all its forms, especially divine truth; loyalty to the highest and best that is Within; devotion to the principles and ideals of Christ; absolute freedom from those things Which would weaken mind and body; and the personal com- mitment of all that one has, are the final goals of achievement Which the earnest-minded student at Valparaiso has. It is gratifying to know that out of the diversities of college life the past year has come a growing responsibility of student participation in the affairs of Alma Mater, an a more earnest interest in her welfare. Along With this consciousness, I sincerely hope, Will develop a more consecrated spirit of student fellowship, and a more earnest attempt to face college life in the spirit of Jesus.

In describing this organization it may be interesting to know its purpose, Which is stated in the constitution as follows: The purpose of the Student Council shall be to enact and enforce legislation as is within the scope of its powers as hereinafter set forth, in order to harmoniously co-ordinate the student body of the various colleges or of the several organizations on the campus into an efficient and unified University group? The Council is composed of the following members: President, Vice-president, secre- tary, treasurer, and representatives from the four colleges, elected by definite rules. The ofEcers are Chosen by popular vote from the Senior Class and only those enrolled in a full program are eligible. One of the most active groups within the Student Council is the Executive Board. It comprises the four officers of the Student Council and the presidents of the college tribu- nals. The President of the University, the Business Manager, the Dean of Administra- tion, and the Dean of Students are non-Voting ex-officio members of this board. Its chief object is to carry out the plans enacted by the Student Council and aid its legislative powers. Probably most important of all committees Within the Student Council is the Calendar Committee. In conjunction With the Dean of Administration and the Dean of Students, it prepares the calendar of student functions, both academic and social. Together With the influence it has in student legislation the Student Council has the power of sanctioning the appointments for the staffs of the various major publications, Willman, Heineman, Siegert, Grueber, Nierman, Kahnert, Briel, Kowalski H. Heineke, Noel, Vogel, Huth, Mehl, Knipstein, Herrick, Grovert. Page Tbirty-four Execu tz've 430an which have been recommended by a committee consisting of several members of the ad- ministration, a faculty advisor, editor and business manager of the publication, and presi- dent and vice-president of the Student Council. Probably the two outstanding features of this year,s work have been the appropriation of the Student Lecture fee for a worthy cause, and the establishment of a traditional holi- day, iiRecord Day. With regard to the former, next year a fund of five hundred dollars Will be set aside by the business ofEce for student entertainment to be spent in compliance with student opinion. For the first time a plan has been drawn up and put into operation by the Council for the publication and sale of the uStudent Directory. Plans for the selection of a standard name for the football team, arrangements for the annual Homecomingfi compiling the Freshman-Sophomore rush rules, sanctioning the production of an athletic benefit show, discussing the problem of compulsory convoca- tions, endeavoring to improve the social condition on the campus, are the main features of the work the council has done this school year. Since this is only the second year of its existence, Student Council has spent a great deal of effort in strengthening the power of the organization. However, there is much to be done in the future. It is its sincere purpose to integrate the student body of this campus into an harmonious whole which will truly be representative of student opinion.

This government extends also into Lembke Hall, the men,s dormitory. A matron is placed in charge of the dormitory. The other individuals of the governing body as called proctorsfi The word ; proctor means an oihcer in a university or college who enforced the rules laid down by the governing council. There are six proctors, one for each floor. The proctors meet once a week to give their reports regarding the behavior of the students. If any disciplinary actions in regard to a student are necessary the case is brought before the council, where the details of the case are heard and due punishment given. Lembke Hall is now equipped with a wonderful recreation room. The Freshmen, real- izing the need of such a room and heeding the suggestion of the Dean of Students, con- ; vetted the basement of the hall into a room that will always commemorate the sacrifices ' of the class of 1935. The finances for this recreation parlor were secured by pledges of the Freshmen resi- ; dents. Each student pledged to give or to get an amount, commensurate With his ability. i The necessary money was received and the dream of a recreation room became a reality. 1 AA Page Thirty -six First Row: H.

Mltrurz'a Hall CProctors In accordance With the decision of the Womenk Dormitory Association of Altruria Hall, the proctor system was installed during the latter part of the first semester of this school year. The purpose of this organization is to place the responsibility of running the dormitory into the hands of the women residents in order to promulgate self-government. The proctor system is controlled by the proctor board consisting of six proctors and the head proctor. This board has the power to control the hours of the residents and like- wise the privilege of granting special permission. Self-government in Altruria is being pursued With the desire of having a smoothly running organization. The executive board of the dormitory and the proctor board with the aid of the assistant matron and the Dean of Students, takes charge of every phase of dormitory government. Every student, too, has her share in exercising self-government, by having a voting voice and by offering assistance in taking care of the oEice. - Page TbirIy-smn College Place Page Thirty -tigbt The light in the court house tower symbolizes the 15rst electrically lighted city in the world at Wabash, Indiana.

Page Eighty-tbree J. M. CHRISTIANSEN In the fall of 1929, when Coach J. M. Christiansen came to this school to take over the position of athletic director and head coach, Valparaiso University was in poor athletic standing. The previous year the football squad had dropped siX out of seven games. The basketball team had done much better, winning eleven of twenty-one contests against some very keen competition, but the entire Varsity quintet was graduated the following June. That placed the new mentor in a difficult position. His predicament was the more discouraging since he faced the task of giving his system its first try-outs against some of the outstanding teams of the region. As a result, the football eleven received seven de- feats in eight starts, and the hardwood season which followed saw the Brown and Gold representatives dropping eleven of fifteen contests. The next year, the grid crew, awakening from a poor start wound up its schedule with six straight Victories. The more remarkable improvement was to be noticed in basketball. Only two of eighteen games were lost, the twelve of the sixteen triumphs came in con- secutive order. Last autumn the Christiansen-coached gridders established an outstanding record. The lone defeat on the nine-game 1931 schedule was a 13-12 decision lost to Manchester. The basketball team split even in twentyfour games with formidable opponents. Christiansen has found time to develop intramural athletics along with the major sports. Winning baseball, tennis, and golf teams have been engaging in competition for the last three years. First attempts have been made to establish boxing and wrestling as minor winter sports. Extensive programs have been carried out in intramural basketball, tennis, horse-shoes, golf, baseball, and any other line of sports in which there has been sufficient interest. All in all, Coach Christiansen has seen to it that this schooYs growth in sports should keep pace with its growth in all other branches. Page Eigbly-fwe e u n e v A 0v 8 L8 l 0 C Page Eighty-six FDDTBALL . Page Eighty-scwn HALE, Tackle JIRKA, End CAPT. SMATLAK, Tackle A Valparaiso University football squad, made up for the most part of sophomore and freshman athletes, during the fall of 1931, brought the school its most successful season on the gridiron in a deCade. Starting out by brushing aside all opposition in the first seven games, Coach J. M. Christiansenk hard-working warriors seemed headed toward an undefeated season, only to have Manchester overcome them by the heart-breaking margin of one point in their eighth start. A chance for a perfect record spoiled, the Brown and Gold clad gridders, seeking revenge, ran up 57 points on the American College of Physical Education squad in the frnal encounter, thus closing the season with the very creditable record of eight victories in nine games. . Their accomplishments earned the Uhlans the highest percentage of any school in the Indiana College Conference, DePauw and Franklin finishing just beneath them with iden- tical records of seven Victories and one loss. DePauw was awarded the title, over Valpds claims, because its schedule included more Hoosier college opponents. There was some talk of arranging a post-season Charity game between DePauw and the Brown and Gold eleven, but the matter was dropped because of the lateness of the season. The football year was a decided success from the start. Coach Christiansenk 1930 squad had Closed its season with six consecu- tive wins, and no more than a half dozen of the members of the 1930 group were missing when the call for candidates was issued early in September of 1931. In addition to the veteran material, there were a number of outstanding first year performers, fresh from high school stardom, who rapidly became acquainted with Mentor Christiansen3s style of play. Included in the list of returning letterrnen were Ray Jirka, end; Captain-elect John Smatlak and Les Hale, tackles; eX-cap- tain Roy Shimek, Arnie Breesernan, and Les Lurnnick, guards; Walt Schubert, center; Ken Olson, quarterback; Harold Schultz and Pete Rucinski, halfbacks; and Joe Kowalski and George Behnke, fullbacks. The most promising freshman candidates who were combined with the veteran group to comprise a potent and versatile squad were Rudy Smatlack, end; Paul Wettingil, tackle; Andy Christowski, guard; Ed Bender and Tony Bielauskas, cen- ters; Herb Scharbach, quarterback; and Ray Gauthier, Harold JOE DEMYAN . Ammnt coach Ettlnger, and A1 Rose, halfbacks. Page Eighty-eigbt Mmmrwmmmmmmg c n , z 1'. xg i mmwwmmawmtwa R. SMATLAK, End SKIMEK, Guard BRESEMAN, Guard Despite heavy competition from the newcomers, ten veterans managed to hold their positions in the varsity lineup. The eleven which started most of the games had Jirka and R. Smatlak at ends, Hale and J. Smatlak at tackles, Shimek and Bresernann at guards, Schubert at center, Olson at quarterback, Schultz and Rucinski at halfbacks, and Kowalski at fullback. The fact that these vets retained their jobs in the face of the unusually strong competition from underclassmen is sufficient testimony to the ability they displayed throughout the season. There were several individuals among the ranks of the reserves whose deeds almost outshone those of the Varsity men. Ettinger, husky freshman halfback, saw much service in the first four tilts, after which he was lost to the squad due to an appendicitis operation. In the last game before he was taken ill, Ettinger lead Valpo to a smashing 43-0 triumph over Indiana Central by constantly breaking away to score three touchdowns and gain much yardage. Gauthier, another freshman halfback, also played quite regularly, his exceptional broken held running ability making it possible for him to lead the team in scoring with 61 points, including ten touchdowns. Rudy Smatlak, yearling end, was the only freshman to gain a varsity post, capturing a first string wing job from two numeral winners of the season before. His consistently good punting, able pass-snaring, and hne defensive work were the qualities which en- abled him to earn and keep his position on the starting lineup. Fred Roehl, reserve quarterback, shared the punting duties with R. Smatlak, which made him an especially valuable substitute at the signal-calling task. Other reserves who performed well in their relief capacities were Behnke, a terrific line-plunging full- back; Bauer, speedy end; and Rose, another of the large crop of shifty backfield men. Under the skillful guidance of Coach Christiansen, the Uhlans developed a deceptive type of offense which no opponent could successfully fathom. A mixture of spinners, reverses, lateral passes and various other kinds of aerial plays enabled Valpo to pile up an amazingly large amount of yardage in almost every game. By the end of the nine-game schedule the Uhlans had compiled 25 5 points to their opponents, 19, a game average of 28.3 to 2.1. In only one game was the Brown and Gold squad,s diversified attack badly . . . .

Brown Field, by a week of steady rainfall was converted into a muck-bottomed pond for the important tussle, and the precipitation continued throughout most of the contest. Thus it was impossible for Valpo to play its usual open game, but the players made up for their offensive handicap by clamping a defensive 0n the Rosemen Which held the Visitors constantly in check. The one contest the locals did lose, Which was dropped to Manchester at North Manchester, saw Valpo out- gaining the opposition from scrimmage better than three to one, scoring two touchdowns, and working Within their foes, ten-yard line on a couple of other occasions. Valpo got off to an auspicious start in its hrst game at Elmhurst With the powerful Little Nineteen representative. The Uhlans Waited until the last quarter to turn on the power and then cut loose With a Horatio Alger finish. Starting a drive from deep Within their own territory, the Valpoites marched all the way to Elmhurstk two-yard line, from Where Quarterback Olson sneaked over the goal. The kick for extra point sailed between the bars just before the crash of the final gun, and Valpo had a 7-0 triumph upon Which to build. ' Page N inety KOWALSKI, Fullback H. SCHULTZ, Halflmcle BAUER, End Captain-elect DANVILLE AND AURORA FALL Danville Normal proved fairly tough in the opening home game, but the Uhlans wasted several scoring opportunities while accumulating a 19-0 win. Aurora followed the Nor- malites to Brown Field, and left with a stringing 50-0 slapping, the result of a Brown and Gold field day featuring a large cast of regulars and reserves. The gridiron was ankle- deep in mud on the day of the Aurora tilt, but Gauthier, Schultz, and the other fleet Brown and Gold backfield men slipped through the Illinois tearrfs weak defense for one long run after another. INDIANAPOLIS RIVAL OVERWHELMED Indiana Central, the second Indiana foe, turned out to he even easier than Danville, and was smothered under a heap of touchdowns, 43-0. The melee was the Uhlans, only night game of the season, and it revealed that the Hill squad was equally effective While working under the Wloodsf, Ettinger, freshman luminary, was lost following the Indiana Central contest, but Valpo went on to Win from Crane of Chicago, 20-6, for its fifth Page Ninety-one E: g f 1 f i K .

The Chicago eleven pushed over a touchdown in the second half to become the iirst foe to score against Valpo, and, in so doing, threw the flrst scare into the Uhlans since the opening scrap on the card. WINNING STREAK CONTINUED OVER HOMECOMING Rose Poly invaded Brown Field to supply Homecoming day opposition for the fast! . stepping locals, bringing With it a record of four victories in five starts. The Rosemen had beaten Valpo the year before, 36-6, and were apparently about equally strong, but had little chance on the water-soaked held Which dismally greeted the returning alumni. Valpo scored all of its eight points in the second quarter. After blocking a couple of punts previously, R. Smatlak got in the way of one Which was attempted from the Rose four-yard line. The ball bounded behind the goal Where Jirka covered it for a touchdown. A short time later Adams, Rose fullback, missed a pass from center With the ball on his own five-yard line, and was downed behind the goal line for a safety, netting Valpo two points. The visitors barely missed scoring after an intercepted pass in the second half, but a Page N inety-fwo Wiwmg 1mg 1' GAUTHIER, Halfback BUONAIRO, Guard CHRISTOWSKI, Guard fumble covered by Valpo on the locals, eleven-yard line terminated that threat, and there was no further tallying. WHEATON BECOMES SEVENTH STRAIGHT VICTIM Valpo had a breathing spell between the Rose Poly and Manchester games, and used it to gain a 39-0 decision over Wheaton. It was a warm day, and Valpo got into the spirit of things by putting on one of its lchottesth acts of the year. Wheaton threatened only in the first quarter, but was helpless thereafter before the power attack of the heavier Uhlans. ALASeTI-IE UHLANS MEET CHAPMAN AND PIPER Then came the Manchester battle at North Manchester, the feature tiff of the season. Victory would have given Valpo a clear claim to the Indiana secondary college champion- ship, an honor which Coach Christiansen the Valparaiso University squad fervently sought. A Spartan Homecoming crowd, the largest turnout at any game played by the Uhlans all season, was attracted by the promise of the bitter argument, and witnessed a thriller. Manchester got the jump on the Brown and Gold by recovering a Valpo fumble on the Page N inezfy-tbree E 5 3 . Q2226 5:; , M i QEEeaifiw tQEEE A, . mp, Lulu:I-Juvzuww-mnm-.W1WN3AWWWHWW am.

On the first play Chapman and Piper worked the old Statue of Liberty trick, Which ended up With the latter scooting around end and outlegging the surprised Valpo defenders to the goal. Chapman missed the kick for the extra point, his hrst failure to convert all season, but Manchester lead, 6-0. Valpo hit back hercely, and not long after the second quarter had commenced, tallied on a 26-yard pass from Schultz to Gauthier. The kick was missed, leaving the count deadlocked at 6-6. Valpo was not satisfled and immediately swept down the field to score again. Line plunges by Behnke covered all but one of the last eleven yards, and Rose stepped over the goal to make it 12-6. R. Smatlalis place kick for the thirteenth point was Wide of the uprights. Valpo reserves had been largely responsible for the scoring of the second touch- down, but they fell down defensively a few moments later, When the Chapman-Piper com- bination again clicked. This time it was a 16-yard pass, from Chapman to Piper, with the latter covering the remaining 25 yards to the Valpo: goal without having a hand laid upon him. Chapman kicked the extra point, the half ending with Manchester hugging its slim 13 -12 advantage. Page N z'nety- four m Wi-hm 1 HM i W... KW i k 51v; r fr he; QEQZQQD 3632 ROEHL, Quarterback A, PETERS, Halflmck BIELAUSKAS, Center UHLANS QUALIFY FOR HARD LUCK PRIZE The action that followed in the second half, although it produced no further scoring, was even more sensational than that of the first two quarters. Valpo was repulsed at the one-foot line following a relentless 6 0-yard drive which opened the third chapter, a break which was enough to dishearten any team but the determined Uhlans, Two more marches were made into Manchester territory, but both times Chapman intercepted passes and got off long punts to set Valpo far back in its own half of the field again. Valpo refused to crack despite the succession of adverse pranks of fate, and instituted a final assault. On the same play which had brought the first score, Gauthier passed to Schultz, who was ap- parently away. Piper hauled him down from behind, however, on the 10-yard line after he had covered 35 yards. The ball rested in a position where one down had to be wasted carrying the oval outside. Two more plays moved it within hve yards of the goal, where the Uhlans, ace-in-the-hole, a lateral pass formation which had resulted in many scores during the season, was tried on last down. A Manchester interception ruined the play, however, and Chapman got off a long punt from behind his goal to wreck Valpds final chance to turn defeat into victory. aw mam, www.mammmvmwy. .gwmmv-rmgvm Page Ninety-fi ve He www.yu impetuw. wmw, 1 3,, l 1 ?HH 1 MtNNWt.twmmnwmdyumuumwwt imam, Ti STAADE, Tackle KUMNICK, Guard FICKLE, Guard SEASON ENDS WITH A ROUT The American College of Physical Education eleven suffered for What Manchester had done to the Uhlansi Winning streak When the Chicagoans invaded Brown Field on the fol- lowing Saturday. It Was the last game on the local schedule, and six seniors making their hnal appearance in Brown and Gold uniforms headed the 57-0 parade. They were John Smatlak, Ray Jirka, Les Kumnick, Roy Shimek, Stuart Norwood, Bob Schultz, and Fred Roehl, backfield veteran. PROSPECTS FINE FOR NEXT YEAR With only seven men lost to the squad by graduation, and but four of that number classified as regulars, the chances for an even stronger team next season are very good. Valpo Will probably play a much harder schedule next fall, including contests With the stronger Indiana college teams as well as a few picked opponents from out of the state. The 1932 squad Will be captained by Joe Kowalski, of East Chicago. Kowalski, a savage line-plunger and sterling defensive player, has worked regularly at fullback for the last two seasons. He entered school as a sophomore and Will be seeing his last season of service next Fall. The able teaching of Coach J. M. Christiansen plus the steadily increasing influx of good material has combined to raise Valparaiso University to a highly respected position on the gridiron in this state and throughout the midwest. The remarkable improvement Page N inety-sz'x BENDER, Center SCHARBACH, Quarterback ROSE, Halflmck made possible by both coach and squad in the last two years is worthy of much commen- dation, and prospects appear bright for rapid advance in the future. Proof of the strength added to the team by new material in the last couple of seasons was offered in the large number of awards given to underclassmen at the close of last sea- son. Of the thirty major letters granted, nineteen went to freshmen and sophomores, while seniors earned siX and juniors the remaining hve. In addition, one minor letter and five sets of numerals were given to promising freshmen candidates.

BAIKETBALL Page Ninety-m'm Q55 ngatmn WEEK WWWEMMWw.mmeWwmethm.m.mWWwenWW B ASKETBA L L QaSketbaH Summary Although Coach J. M. Christiansenk Uhlan court squad could gain no better than an even break from the long 1931-32 basketball card which listed twenty-four games of all. kinds of opposition, the past season will go down in university hardwood history as a distinct success. Handicapped by lack of sufficient training facilities and slowed by dis- organization at the start of the year, the Brown and Gold basketeers, nevertheless, achieved surprisingly good results in competition with as formidable and lengthy a lineup of foes as any Valparaiso University quintet has tangled in recent years. The Uhlans split even in their regularly scheduled games, but held the edge over their opponents as far as total points were concerned. In nine of the twelve games lost, the margin of defeat was six points or less. Valpo averaged 25.8 points per contest to its foesi 22.6, the respective totals being 618 and 543. One of the highlights of the season was the locals, northern trip, which carried them into Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota for five games in the space of six nights. Of the five strong opponents met, the Uhlans vanquished four, Northwestern College of Watertown, Wis, St. Thomas of St. Paul, Minn., St. Marys of Winona, Minn., and Augustana of Rock Island, Ill. The only trimming of the trip came at the hands of an aggregation of accu- rate basket-tossers representing St. Olaf of Northfield, Minn. In the next to last game on the card, played at Boucher Gymnasium, the Uhlans eX- hibited some of their best basketball of the year to hold the powerful St. Viator5s crew to a 25-23 score. The Irish, who ranked with the best in the Middle West, had previously in- flicted a 27-15 beating upon the Brown and Gold, and were doped to repeat with ease. Valpo also came near turning in upset victories in both games with the highly rated Indiana Central flve, and held Manchester, a strong and bitter rival, to scores of 17-16 and 25-22. Prospects for next season are very fine, since only one of the eight major letter winners of the past season, Bob Schmidt, will be lost by graduation this June. Of the Varsity BAUER, Forward BARNEKOFF, Center RUCINSKI, Guard Captain Captain-Elect Page One Hundred Bilxsm'rrmm group, five are sophomores, Captain-elect Pete Rucinski, Captain Emory Bauer, Joe Ko- walski, Ed Barnekoff, and Lorin Shook. The other three rated as juniors are Clarence Strutz, Kenneth Olson, and Harold Schultz. To this number can be added Vern Giessing and Phil White, promising freshmen. Giessing was the only minor letter winner of the year, while White performed regularly at forward before he had to give up his sports par- ticipation in order to concentrate on a heavy study program. The members of the strong B team will also come in for consideration next winter. During the past season the reserves compiled an enviable record, winning every game on their schedule up to the last tilt, which was lost by a one-point margain. Those who were awarded numerals for service on the sub team were Henry Graul, Gil Krause, Richard Anderson, Rudy Smatlak, and Melvin Fritz, freshmen; Walt Christopher, sophomore, and Ray Jirka, senior. EASIEST FOES ON EARLY SEASON CARD With only a few practice sessions behind them, the Uhlans went to Chicago for their initial tilt with the American College of Physical Education. Valpo was on top at the conclusion of the first half, but showed clearly its lack of preparation in the final period and was nosed out, 21-18. Returning to the home court for a couple of frays Which might be termed practice games, the Brown and Gold netters revealed marked improve- ment While running up scores of 40-18 and 47-21 on Huntington and Thornton Junior College. Continuing to mix with competition that was hardly worthy of the name, the Uhlans added two more notches to their victory belt on a Wisconsin trip, crushing Con- cordia of Milwaukee, generally considered a strong rival, 38-16, and plodding listlessly through Thiensville Seminary on the latter,s home floor, 15-8. COMPETITION, INTEREST AND DEFEATS INCREASE St. Thomas, scrappy Lithuanians gave the Uhlans their first stiff jolt when they helped the locals renew activities following the Christmas holidays by applying a 22-14 trim- ming. The Tommies were on a southern trip which also included games with Notre Dame, DePauw, and St. Viators and apparently took Valpo in stride. Valpo could blame its initial decisive beating to poor long shooting, St. Thomas presenting a defense which restricted the Brown and Gold squad to lengthy heaves. Defeat number three followed SCHOWALTER, Manager OLSON, Guard KOWALSKI, Forward - Page One Hundred One soon after at North Manchester, where the husky Spartans eked out a 17-16 decision. Valpo lead midway of the last half, 14-13, but two Manchester baskets gave the Spartans the advantage, which was maintained despite a heavy long range bombardment by the Uhlans. White hit from mid-floor in the closing seconds, but the gun sounded before Valpo could obtain another scoring chance. THAT HAPPY NORTHERN TRIP After their two early January defeats, the Uhlans were in a scrappy mental mood and in excellent physical condition for their five-game trek into Wisconsin, Minnesota and Illinois. As a result, the team emerged from the wearing journey with a record of four Victories and one defeat. The first stop was made at Watertown, Wisconsin, Where Coach Chritsiansen used everybody but the manager to pile up a 38-16 count on Northwestern College. Then Came the feature contest of the trip, a setto with St. Thomas at St. Paul. The Tommies, expecting to duplicate their previous beating of the locals without much trouble, took it easy in the early part of the tilt, and soon fell far behind as Barnekoff lead Valpo in an undeniable assault upon the hoop. The St. Paul crew rallied in the final ten minutes of play, but wound up on the short end of a 26-23 score. The third game was perhaps the best-played tiE of the tour, although the Uhlans did lose a 33-27 decision to the rough-and-ready St. Olaf quint. Play was nip-and-tuck throughout, with the Olesi uncanny long-shooting eventually excelling Valpds superior teamwork. After a days rest, the Hill aggregation went into action at Winona, Minn., against St. Marys, and pulled out a surprisingly decisive 30-20 Victory. Fatigue almost cost the Uhlans their final joust with Augustana at Rock Island, 111. Participating in their fifth hard struggle in six nights, the locals just managed to make a sizeable early lead last out a terrihc rally by the Augustanians. When the final gun sounded Valpo was well satished with its 25-24 win. TWO HEART-BREAKERS IN A ROW Returning home, the Uhlans entertained a pair of Hoosier foes at Boucher Gym, and soon discovered the Indiana brand of ball to be superior to that encountered on the northern trip. At that, the wearers of the Brown and Gold came within an ace of up- setting both Manchester and Indiana Central. The Spartans edged out Valpo in over- GIESSING, Forward STRUTZ, Center ANDERSON, Guard page one Hundred Two 2 - time after the bitterest of grudge battles. Manchester took the lead at the start, but could not cope with a strong Uhlan rally which was Climaxed by XWhitek last minute basket, deadlocking the teams at 20-20. Valpo scored first during the extra period which followed, but a free throw and two long shots enabled the visitors to take a 25-22 lead, which was protected to the gun. Indiana Central followed Manchester to the Boucher gym court, bringing with it an even better record. Disregarding the supposed invincibility of their foes, the Uhlans took a 14-13 first half lead, and had the Greyhounds looking pretty bad. Central came back in the last period, however, to take advantage of a temporary Valpo letdown to amass a 23-15 lead. Finally aroused from their lethargy, the Uhlans retaliated with all they had, and when Schultz scored from mid-floor just before the gun, the victors5 mar- gin had been trimmed to a single point. EARLY FEBRUARY GIVE AND TAKE With the schedule more than half completed, and their record showing eight Victo- ries and siX defeats, the Uhlans apparently were headed toward a winning season. This seemed all the more certain when three of the first five games on the February card re- sulted in local triumphs. The trio of wins were over the American College of Physical Education, Huntington, and N. A. G. U., while the defeats were inflicted by Evansville and St. Viators. The 29-25 whipping of the Physical Education quintet avenged the beating which the Uhlans had taken from the Chicago outfit in the first game of the year. While the 29-7 Victory over Huntington gave Valpo little more than a work- out, the combat with N. A. G. U. was a much harder one, requiring a late rally on the part of the Uhlans to earn the 34-26 verdict. St. Viator needed a flock of free throws to outpoint Valpo by 27-15. The other defeat was by the scant margin of two points, Evansvilles Purple Aces grabbing the pay-off end of a 23-21 count on the local floor. SOUTHERN INDIANA TRIP RESULTS DISASTROUSLY It remained for the Uhlansj Southern Indiana trek to dispell all hopes of finishing the season with an average over the .500 mark. The combination of traveling the length of the state and playing three hard games on consecutive nights was too much for the Christian- sen-coached cagers, who accordingly dropped all three of the arguments with Evansville, SHOCK, Guard H. SCHULTZ, Guard SCHMIDT, Forward - Page One Hundred Time ,. 11mm 1132-11! 1 WWWWKWWNM Indiana Central, and N. A. G. U. Evansville got a streak of being unable to miss the bas- ket, and submerged the traveling locals under a 48-15 score. Valpo did much better against Indiana Central, but fell short by six points, the closing count being 3 6 -3 0. The final con- flict of the trip, fought on the small N. A. G. U. floor, went into overtime before the In- dianapolis outflt was able to shake off the exhausted Valpo squad and Win by 25-23. SEASON CLOSES The return game With St. Viators at Boucher Gymnasium created the most interest and drew the biggest crowd of the year. The large turnout Was not disappointed, Valpo play- ing its scrappiest ball of the year to hold the Irish to a 23-23 score. St. Viators, boasting victories over Illinois Wesleyan and DePauW and a previous 27-15 decision over the locals, led off in Whirlwind fashion to pile up a 13-4 advantage in the early part of the initial half. The Uhlans rallied to pull up to Within four points at the intermission, and continued to outplay their rivals in the second period until they had gained a short-lived 23-22 lead. At this point the rough tilt grew rougher, and the Irish hit three consecutive free throws to eke out a tWo-point margin. It was a tired Uhlan band that journeyed to Thornton, 111., a few nights later to conclude the year With a 20-14 triumph over the Thornton Junior College combination. 2 SEASONS RECORD ; Valparaiso, 18; A.

Page One Hundred Five CBoxz'ng Intercollegiate boxing, introduced as a minor sport at Valparaiso University in 1931, enjoyed fair success during the 1932 season. Since the sport is comparatively new on the local campus, the Uhlan boxers are to be congratulated for the good showing they made against strong squads, although they did not win a single team match with the exception of the forfeiture by Armour Tech. Under the capable guidance of Coach E. G. Schwiebert, the Valpo pugilistic crew met and was defeated by Armour, Culver Military Academy, and St. Viators. In both the Armour and St. Viators matches the losing margin was only 3-2. The meet with Culver consisted of eleven bouts, of which the more experienced Cadets won nine. After losing an early match by the closest of decisions to Armour, the Uhlan battlers were de- prived of a chance to square accounts when the Tech team refused to go through with a return fight. The decision was therefore forfeited to Valpo. The Sehwiebertmen were facing more seasoned fighters in all of their matches, for which reason special mention should be made of the individuals who won their bouts in the different meets. Arnie Nuechterlein, captain-elect, won both of the tilts in which he participated. He was kept out of the Culver match by an injured hand. Elmer Haase and Captain Marty Bredehoft enabled Valpo to escape a shut-out at Culver by punching out Victories over their respective foes. The only others to w1n points during the season were Bill Smith and Vern Reich, the former knocking out his man at St. Viators, and Reich earning a decision at Armour. The high spots of several bouts are worthy of mention, for on these occasions the flower of Valpds pugilistic ability was displayed. In the first meet, at Armour, Arnie Nuechterlein captured chief honors by knocking out his opponent Campioni. Arnie has the punch of several men and it constantly hit its mark. He held Campioni at his mercy for a round and a half and then attached the finishing touches, the latter being distine guished by a count of ten. Excellent fighting ability was displayed in the meet with St. Viator. Here Bill Smith captured the laurels, although Nuechterlein defeated his man in great style. HAASE BREDEHOFT, Capt. W. SMITH BILLINGS Page One Hundred Six At the gong the men were at it. Smith stopped a fast one and went to his knee for a second. He rose, and from that instant he was master of the situation. A standerby could hear the thud of Smith,s blows as they hit his opponent. Then in the beginning of the third round, Smith got his adversary in the corner and did not cease his rain of blows until a towel was thrown in for his victim. As was the case the year before, the team was hampered by lack of good training facilities. Some equipment was purchased at the start of the season, and training quarters were established in the basement of South Lembke Hall. Midway through the schedule, the squad members started training in a downtown gymnasium, where they worked out against tough competition. Thereafter improvement was noticeably rapid. Next year it is planned to establish permanent quarters on the Hill which will be suitable for the stag- ing of matches as well as for general training and practice. Prospects for 1933 are very good, only one member of the squad being lost by grad- uation. The lone senior is Terry Billings, a two-time letter-winner. Of the other ten boxers who were awarded letters this year, only two are juniors, three are sophomores, and the remaining quintet are yearlings. Vernon Reich and Bill Smith are the juniors, Marty Bredehoft and Paul Witt, the sophomores, and Captain-elect Nuechterlein, Harry Spelz- hausen, Al Montie, Elmer Haase, and Norb Schumann, the freshmen. Good new material is expected next year, including Bernard Brown, Purdue heavyweight, who transferred here in mid-semester and was therefore ineligible for the 1932 season. Next January will see the team opening a longer and better balanced schedule. Dr. Schwiebert deserves an unlimited amount of credit for the success of the boxing team. For without his sturdy guidance, the team would not have made the mark. Paul Witt, besides participating in the pugilistic activities, acted as manager of the team.

NUECHTERLEIN, SPELZHAUSEN SCHUMANN MONTE TELLER SCHWIEBERT, Caytdin-elect Coach MINHR SPUR'HWW Golf Opening its 1932 schedule by taking a decisive drubbing at the hands of a strong Notre Dame quartet, the University golf team came back to win its next two matches in a convincing manner, thus giving rise to hopes for a successful season. Three veterans were on hand to start the year, and with the addition of a pair of able recruits, faced a card which included single matches with Notre Dame and Culver Military Academy, and home-and-home meets with Loyola, Armour Tech, and Battle Creek, as well as participa- tion in the state meet at DePauw University. Ewald Nath, Lorin Shook, and Captain George Christy were the three experienced players who formed the nucleus of the squad. Mike DeGrazia, a freshman candidate, completed the team which started the year at Notre Dame. The more experinced Irish 3 won easily, 17V2-V2, shutting out Valpo in all but one doubles match. The Brown and Gold linksmen made up in part for the Notre Dame disaster by whip- ping Armour, 16V2-1V2, in a match played at the Lincoln Hills Country Club. Battle Creek was the neXt opponent, and though it offered a bit stiffer opposition, the Uhlans triumphed fairly easily, 11V2-6 V2. During the remainder of their card, the Valpo golfers hope to better the 193 1 record, Which included four wins, three defeats and a tie. Lead by Captain Gene DeGrazia and Nath, the locals also placed fourth in the state meet at Terre Haute, finishing behind Notre Dame, Purdue and Indiana.

The competition consisted of three singles and two doubles matches, Valpo taking all but one of the individual duels. E: The next opponent, Battle Creek, was met on its home grounds, and proved unex- ; pectedly strong, sweeping the three doubles encounters to triumph by 6-3. Valpo had gained an even break in the singles When Knake, Kolb and Christopher won, but could not E cope successfully With the Battle Creek players, superior combination play. ; E 1 Chicago University entertained the Uhlans in the third encounter, an invitational affair, and won by the same score as Battle Creek, 6-3. Kolb,s default Victory accounted for the only point earned by Valpo in the half dozen singles matches. However, two of the local doubles pairs, Knake-Dierker and KoleBiederman, came through With upset decisions to make the defeat less decisive. Remaining matches on the schedule are to be played With Aurora, Battle Creek, Joliet, Concordia of River Forest, 111., and Crane. In addition the Brown and Gold sextet Will participate in the Indiana State College meet at Earlham on May, 19, 20 and 21. THE 1931 RECORD 3 Valparaiso, 7; Ball State, Muncie, 2.

KOLB HOFFMAN KNAKE tCath OEHLSCHLAEGER BIEDERMAN CHRISTOPHER DIERKER I Page; One Hundred Nine CBasebaU For the first time in several years, baseball was dropped from the spring sports program during 193 2. The reason for this was that no playing space was available, since athletic officials undertook the resurfacing of Brown Field, on which both the diamond sport and football are played. In the place of baseball a more extensive intramural program was worked out which listed competition for all the students in playground ball, golf, tennis, horseshoes, track, and other such activities. Coach Christianseifs diamond squad opened its schedule auspiciously, walloping Mc- Clinlock Campus, 17-8, Joliet, 11-7, and the Union Specials, 14-2. Winebrenner, Les Hale, Doc Steunkel and Jake Skinner shared the pitching duties during these early encoun- ters. The regular starting line-up at that time was as follows: Rothschild, 3b; H. Schultz, ss; R. Schultz, lf; Steunkel, rf; Jirka, 1b; Rucinski, 2b; Bauer, cf; Olson, c; Winebrenner, p. . The string of victories came to an end at Muncie, when the Ball State team got to Winebrenner in the late frames to earn a hard-fought ten-inning battle by a score of 3-2. Four more triumphs, all of a decisive nature, followed in order after the first setback. The wins included a 9-6 decision over Concordia of Fort Wayne, a 7-0 shutout of Joliet in which Winebrenner held the Illinois nine to three hits, a 15-6 walloping of Crane, and a one-sided 13-1 verdict over Concordia of Fort Wayne. St. Viators was the second oppo- nent to break through the Victory chain, doing a thorough job of it behind the shutout pitching of their hurling ace. The Irish were in a slugging mood, and handed Valpo its worst beating of the year, 9-0. The Uhlans were apparently in a mid-season slump, since they were blanked in their next contest also, losing a low-scoring duel to Ball State by a 4-0 count. Valpo signed off for the year with a bang as Tom Winebrenner closed his pitching career with a pair of Victories over Manchester in a double-header played at North Man- chester. Winebrenner hurled just enough of the first contest to get credit for a 12-2 win, and came back in the nightcap to gain the long end of an 8-5 decision. First Row: Stuenkel, R.

Wz'mma's A i'HI IJHICS Women ,8 Ath letz'c Association The Womenk Athletic Association has completed its third and most outstanding year in Valparaiso University. A great interest in this organization has been shown by the girls. Through the influence of this Association the girls have been stimulated to participate in athletics which promote good sportsmanship, physical efiiciency, and scholarship. The point system determines membership in the Womenk Athletic Association. Fifty points are required for entrance and membership is retained by the acquirement of fifty points every year. Basketball, baseball, tennis, hiking, hockey, horse-shoes, horse-back riding, skating, golf, archery, swimming, volley ball and other sports constitute the various activities in which points may be earned. For the purpose of keeping alive an interest in these sports and for providing competition, rivalry and skill, annual tournaments are held in the more important sports such as tennis, horse-shoes, etc. The local Womenk Athletic Association is a member of the Athletic Conference of American College Women and National Amateur Athletic Federation. The Womenk Athletic Association did not neglect the presentation of its annual major production. This year the entertainment is in the form of a College Skit. But this major activity did not take up all the time, as the W. A. A. was active in many minor functions. The refreshments at all varsity athletic functions were sold by members of this organizae tion. The sale of tickets for Sportis Night was under the management of a committee of W. A. A. girls. They likewise added to the feature of the evening by their basketball game, and also by the darky Clog number. The cleverness and skill of the members of W. A. A. was evidenced when they were awarded second place for having an outstanding entry in the Home Coming Parade. The theme of the float portrayed the athletic minds of the committee in Charge.

Page One Hundred Twelve Women is Sports Basketball, which is the most favored sport of the girls, was participated in by many enthusiastic players. Although the gym was available only once a week, much progress was made and the interest of the girls was increased at every practice. Practice was held whenever possible, but Thursday night was usually set aside for this sport. An elimination tournament was sponsored in which four sorority teams and two inde- pendent teams participated. In the game the Alpha Phi Delta Sorority met the indepen- dent team uPony Express? The battle was fought courageously by both teams, and true sportsmanship was present, but the iTPony Express,, proved the superior. They were de- clared the champions for this season At the end of the season, the Executive Board of W. A. A. and the advisor of W. A. A. selected an honorary girls, basketball team. This group consisted of the following girls: ForwardseZelrna Lamb, Anne Kowalski, Louise Mueller; centerseElizabeth Noel, Dore 0thy Siegert, Enid Firebaugh; guardSeHulda Sauer, Gertrude Gehl, Helen Kindervater. The season was brought to a close by two interesting games. The first was played against the Girls Varsity Team of Valparaiso High School. The W. A. A. Honorary SeXtette was not capable of stopping the clever plays of their opponents. The second competitions were more readily outplayed. The competitors bore the title of Ducky Wuckies and although they were of the opposite sex, they were attired in feminine garb for the game. Due credit must be given to this team for its sportsmanship to their opponents. This amusing game was played at the annual Sport Night held at Boucher Gymnasium. Thus ended a most interesting basketball year for the girls. Since points are required for membership in the W. A. A. and awards are dependent upon the number of points obtained, tournaments are held and points are awarded for par- ticipation in previously mentioned sports. Points are given for entering a tournament, W. A. A. HONORARY TEAM LAMB, L.

Practice hours likewise yield points. Tennis ushered in the sports season last fall. This game is an vigorating and healthy sport. It is played not merely for individual skill but also for pleasure. The tennis courts were occupied at all times by numerous enthusiastic girls preparing themselves for the on- coming tournament. The tournament was sectioned into three types of players: first, those of adyanced experience in playing; secondly, those of medidcre skill; and thirdly, those who were beginners in this sport. This gave each contestant a fair Chance. Hiking, which may be usefuly enjoyed by all, was popular during the entire year. The favorite route was the five mile hike around Sagers. Early morning is a favorite time for 'the girls to take this walk. Horseshoe-pitching was likewise a favorite of a number of girls. Friendly matches were held on the lot adjoining Altruria. The convenience of the place added much to its desirability. Although horse-back riding is still quite new among Valparaisds coeds, the participa- tion in this activity is steadily increasing. Frequently girls are seen riding around the fair aground race track and sometimes they venture to the Hill. Perhaps with more convenient equipment, this sport will grow during the coming years. i i S l i g At the Annual Field Day the girls also take an active part. On this day all hnal games and matches are played in Baseball, Tennis, Horse-shoes, and Archery. Thus the winners may be seen exhibiting their skill and adding to the success of the day. The intramural tournaments last year were held in Tennis, Horse-shoes, and Baseball. The winners in the respective sports were: ..........................

Several heats are run for the dash contestants and then the novelty re- lay adds to the interest of the bystanders. Play-ground ball is a sport for the spring and fall. Interest in it is begun in the Physie cal Education classes. Almost every evening at present several teams are at practice at Brown Field. A tournament in this activity is likewise planned for this year. Each sorority has been asked to organize a team and the unorganized girls Will comprise two other teams. Keen competition is expected, as a great liking for this idea has developed. By such a tournament all the girls are brought together into friendly competition, and fur- thermore it offers an opportunity for exercise for many girls who are not interested in many other sports. The annual awards are earned according to the point system which was established last year and co-ordinated in the W. A. A. constitution. According to the rules compiled, every frshman must earn 250 points during the year to receive the W. A. A. Emblem; sophomores must have earned 500 points in their two years of residence to receive their W. A. A. numeral; juniors must have accumulated 75 0 points for the uVii The sweaters are awarded to the seniors Who have earned at least 1,000 points by participation in all athletic events. These awards are presented at a Convocation held at the end of the school year. Last year a tradition Was established to award a blanket to the W. A.

Page One Hundred Twenly-one DEPARTMENTAL ODGANIZATIONS Page One Hundred Twenty-tbree Eng z'neerz'ng Society The Engineering Society of Valparaiso University was organized to foster and to pro- mote the interests of the students of the College of Engineering and to develop and spread knowledge in the field of engineering. All students in the College of Engineering are eligible for membership in the society. The society sponsors inspection trips to the plants of the great industrial concerns and interesting engineering projects and develop ments Where students may gain valuable information and knowledge by practical ob- servation. During the college year, meetings are held each second and fourth Wednesday evening in the Engineering Building. At these meetings, papers are read and discussions held on current engineering developments and projects of current interest. In the Little Theater in the Engineering Building, motion pictures, giving description of trips through plants and an explanation of manufacturing and industrial processes, are shown. This year, the students have shown especial interest in the development and Con- struction of the P. 81 D. railroad, a carefully modeled miniature railroad. All the founda: tion work, the laying of tracks, the building of cars, the erection of miniature buildings and other structures for a modern railroad terminal with a city and its air-port, and the electrification of a third-rail system, with block signal and complete electrical control have been done by students of the College of Engineering. Plans are under way for the display of this unique and elaborate lay-out at the Synodical Conference at Milwaukee, in the terminals of some of the great railroad systems of the country, as well as at the Cen- turyiProgress Exposition in Chicago, in 1933. On April 29, 1932, the Third Annual Engineersi Day was observed. On this occa- sion, when about 2,000 people, students of the high schools of Porter County, citizens of the county and 0f Valparaiso Visited the Engineering Building, the students and faculty of the College of Engineering kept uopen house? All shops, drafting rooms, and labora- tories with their facilities were open for observation. A new plan was in operation this year. In all shops and laboratories, students were at work in their classes, thus giving visitors an opportunity to observe actual operations in progress while student guides s m First Row: Johnson, Nath, Nienow, Griessel, Lieske, Sodomka, Kreinheder.

In the Department of Civil Engineering were shown the hydraulics laboratory in operation; the materials testing equipment was operated and explained; drawings, maps, charts, various instruments used in surveying, samples of concrete construction, road building and structural materials were on display. A detailed map of the Sagers, Lake region, made by students in topographic surveying during the year, was shown and proved of much interest to Visitors. The Electrical Engineers showed expensive equipment in the way of motors, generators, transformers, and meters used in the study of direct and alternating current phenomena. In the Department of Industrial Arts, Visitors were shown patterns, furniture, and other items of wood construction. The Mechanical Engineers displayed an extensive equipment of machines in their machine shop, such as lathes, drilling machines, planers and shapers. In the foundry, molds were made and shown, and castings from iron, brass and aluminum were poured, much to the interest of Visitors. In the engines laboratory, the Diesel engine was in op- eration. Large reciprocating steam engines drove generators that were large enough to produce electric power to supply the entire Hill. Students in aeronautical engineering aroused much interest with their outstanding feature, a wind tunnel. With this equipment, they demonstrated how the lifting power of an airplane depends upon the velocity of the wind, accurately demonstrating and measuring the weight supported by the varying velocities which could be produced in the tunnel. A number of local commercial concerns co-operated with the students by adding eX- hibits showing application and use of engineering principles. Among the firms having dis- plays in the Engineering Building were the Pennsylvania R. R. Company, Wright 8: Wright, Van Ness Electric C0., French 8: Arnold, Inc., Take Chevrolet Sales Co., Beach Plumbing Co., and the Goodyear Tire Shops.

A need for the organization in . this department had been realized for quite some time and it was not until recently that the enrollment justified its establishment at Valparaiso. Only the upper classmen are eligible for membership but it is the intention to invite anyone interested to participate in the activities of the organization. The object of the Comrherce Club is to correlate practical business With the text book material; to serve as a media to bring the members into Closer contact; and to foster a spirit of co-operation between the students and the instructors in the department. It is often thought that the texts contain highly theoretical material and that in actual practice such ideas are not carried out. The theoretical material does not hold the fascination of the student that actual business conditions would. Speakers experienced in their fields can talk authoritatively and tie the practical With the theoretical. The club is fortunate in being able to secure speakers Who are locally and nationally prominent and successful in their respective fields, because of the nearness 0f the Uni- versity to the large industrial communities, such as Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Gary, and South Bend. Inspection trips to these regions are a regular part of the program of the organization. As a result of these lectures and inspection trips Which are sponsored by the Commerce Club, the students may make application of the theoretical principles as they are taught in the classroom to actual business situations and problems, getting thereby a practical point of View and an acquaintance With the concrete problems of the modern business world. During the past year activities have been somewhat curtailed and the program planned at the beginning of the year could not be carried out as intended. Interest in the organi- zation has not waned however, and the outlook for the coming year gives indication of augmented interest and activity by an increased membership.

Page One Hundred Twenty-six , 01.11:,3AN11AI'nms Home Economics Club The Valparaiso Home Economics Club was organized in the spring of 1931 under the direction of Mrs. Edna Lauritzen. Beginning with ten charter members, the organiza- tion has grown steadily, so that its membership has increased to twenty in just one year. In the fall of 1931, Miss Olive Logerstrom became the advisor of the organization. The Club is a member of the National Home Economics Association, 'and the standard pin 0f the association has been adopted by the local club. Membership is limited to stu- dents enrolled in home economics subjects. The purposes of the local Home Economics Club are to develop professional spirit and co-operation among its members; to keep in contact with the current topics and general scientific trend of home economics work; and to develop the friendship, initiative, per- sonality, leadership, social poise, and culture of its members. Early in the fall of 1931, the club sponsored a tea for the freshman women of the University, and each spring an annual exhibit is open to anyone wishing to attend, at which occasion tea is likewise served. Features in the Home Economics Department during the past year included the eX- perimentation with a family of five white rats. This was an attempt to show the results of eating food deficient in Vitamins and of eating an unbalanced diet. Beezie, the pet, became very ill from living on a diet lacking Vitamin B, but was quickly cured upon being fed yeast. An interesting project, unusual for Valparaiso University, was the undertaking of the Home Management class. A house, uRamble Inf, located at 253 Greenwich Street, was rented, and the students lived there for siX weeks, caring for it in the manner of a model home. Threemeals were served by studnts daily and all the other work was done by members of the Class. In April the Home Economics Club invited the members of the High School Home Economics Club for a joint meeting. This was held at TTRamble Inf, and the evening was spent socially.

The Valparaiso chapter was established in January, 1929, becoming the fifty- seventh local chapter. The organization now consists of ninety-five chapters located in leading colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada. In November, 1931, the organization held its national convention in St. Louis. Dele- gates from the local chapter were Eleanor Gieseke, director of Beta Iota cast, William Gurney, Business Manager of the local chapter, and H. D. Morrow, director of dramatics. The convention increased the interest in and encouraged the practice of producing the better type of drama. Beta Iota cast was honored at this convention in the appointment of H. D. Morrow as chairman of the Ritual Committee. The ritual written by this com- mittee was adopted at the national convention as an official ceremony. The Beta Iota cast acts as the producing group at Valparaiso. The University Players are under the direction of the Beta Iota cast and all details of production are handled by the sponsoring organization. Since its inception in 1929, Alpha Psi Omega has been steadily building up in the minds of the student body an esteem for its class of productions, and a reputation for its Choice of the cast to portray the particular type of character required in its productions. In the three years that this organiZation has existed on the local campus it has built an enviable reputation and gained recognition with the national or- ganization because of its production of the highest type of drama. During the past season, this organization has ventured into a field rarely attempted by college production grouPSe-namely, the presentation of new and untried plays. The play attempted this year was uThe Knotf, a three-act drama by Marian Lawrence Nelson. This production attracted considerable attention and won much favorable comment from the audience. 2 GIESEKE SAEGER . SIEGERT I.

Charters are granted only to those institutions having a school, college, or department of journalism. It is professional and is composed of com- ponent parts, the Iota Sigma Phi for women and the Iota Sigma Chi for men. The objects of Iota Sigma are: 1. To promote achievement in journalism. To encourage graduate study in journalism. 3. To bring its members into closer contact with the journalists of the city and country by means of dinners and luncheons, by engaging prominent journalists to address the fratority, and also by means of Visits to journalistic establishe ments. In the spring of 1930 the Beta chapter of Iota Sigma was established at Valparaiso University. This organization was fostered by the interest shown in journalistic work and also by the offering of courses in this specific field. The purpose of this society is to stim- ulate and encourage professional interest in journalism and the press. Iota Sigma is comprised of twenty-two members in both branches with Mr. A. F. Leiser, instructor in journalism, as honorary member. Alfred H. Soldwish was the presi- dent of the Beta chapter during the past year. Adelyne Johnson was president of Iota Sigma Phi; Juanita Wolk, vice-president; and Florence Schulte, secretary-treasurer. AI- fred H. Soldwish was president of the menis organization; Edward Hartman, vice-presi- dent; and John Duchay, secretary-treasurer. The most outstanding function of the Beta chapter during the past year was a formal dinner held on April 8, when eleven pledges were initiated. In addition, the regular chapter socials were held and semi-monthly meetings were conducted. Also, during the course of the year, social interchanges were made with the mother chapter at Northwestern University. i.

The student District is now compcsed of thirteen chapters, estab- lished in schools of the Middle West. However, Tloe Student Leaguer, a bi-monthly pub- lication, is being sent to many other colleges and universities in the hope that they, too, may organize chapters. This organization has both a local and a national purpose. The national objective aims at co-ordination of the Lutheran student groups on the campuses of the many colleges and universities throughout the country. The fusion of all Lutheran students, Who possess the intuition of gaining knowledge in their own particular fields, into one relationship the purpose of Which is to fit its members for better service to others, is another of the major objectives of the Student League. The spirit of fellowship and friendship finds eX- pression Within the local groups in religious, journalistic, and oratorical activities, and in assembly and social functions. The same spirit extends to national communications, and assemblies, Where the interchange of problems and ideas is nicely blended together With the pleasures and recreation of social entertainment. The Valparaiso chapter began its activities With the second week and continued them into the last week of the school year. The religious and educational program included Fireside Hours, held on Sunday afternoons, at Which appropriate topics and problems of special interest to the members were presented and discussed, usually under the leadership of a member of the faculty, or of some outside speaker. The annual National Oratorical contest feature had to be neglected this year because of the expense incurred by sending the Winner to the International convention to be held in Los Angeles. The social program, besides the monthly get-together, included picnics at Sagers, hikes and parties held at various times throughout the year, the most important of the First Row: Schulte, Unke, Steinhebel, Salvner, Brauer, Franke, Hilmer, Kirchhoefer, Boerger.

A trip to the University of Chicago campus as guests of the U. of C. chapter was another outstanding feature in the social program. The fifth annual convention of the Student District was the outstanding affair of effort and interest for the Valparaiso chapter this year. It was held on April 30 and May ' 1, at which time Valpo was the host to a large number of student representatives and guests of the Various chapters. The Valparaiso chapter contributed the president and three other members of the executive board to the Student District executives this year. Inspirational meetings were held on Saturday morning, Saturday aftrnoon, and Sunday afternoon. Saturday afternoon was made extremely interesting through the reports of delegates from the other chapters. The convention program also included talks from several speakers well known in young peoples, work. The music for the meetings was offered by members of Valparaisds Department of Music. Saturday evening all local members gathered with the guests at a banquet in the Lutheran Parish Hall. The interchange of puns, wit, and pleasantries, interrupted occa- sionally by humorous selections given under the leadership of the entertainment com- mittee, all added to the pleasure of good fellowship. A plea was made to the representatives of the chapters to spread the news of the Student District. It was suggested that this could be accomplished by writing to Lu- theran students who are in attendance at schools where there is no local chapter and thus create an interest for organizing their fellow-Lutheran students into a new chapter. Due to the recent origin of the Student District, the number of its members is not as large as desired, but through the co-operation of its present members, it is expecting a rapid growth in the future.

With the Whole-hearted co-operation of Dr. F. W. Kroencke, the organization rapidly molded itself into a working unit. The purpose of the Buccaneers, according to their constitution, is to produce annually an original musical comedy or comic opera. Membership is restricted to those who have proven themselves Worthy by their participation in a production. The exclusiveness of the Club keeps only active members in the organization, and this, it is felt,'will make for greater efficiency. Membership in the Buccaneers is Valuable be- cause it provides an opportunity for originality in writing the dialogue of a presentation, as well as preparing scores for the music portions of a production. Also, the business contacts Which are made Will stand in good stead as experience for future work. No member at any time receives pecuniary gain from the organization, but the profits Which accrue from year to year, over and above a reserve fund, will be given to the Uni- versity Association treasury. In addition to the regular membership, the following men were chosen by the Buc- caneers as iiHonorary Members? by virtue of their services Which they gave as an im- petus to uFloating Power? Mr. F. I. Schweppe, Mr. A. F. Leiser, Mr. F. Karres, and Mr. H. Rogers. The present officers of the organization are: Robert Moellering, Skipper; Walter Brunn, Business Manager; Ed.

F. Leiser, to a large audience at the Premier Theatre. The entire production was directed by Mr. Schweppe. The leading man of the show was Raymond Kase, who played part of George Whittington, son of a wealthy mine owner. As the curtain was drawn, Georges boyfriends, substituting for chorus girls, were rehearsing a stunt preparatory to a bazaar given by Frances, Georgek fiancee. The performance was inter- rupted when Frances appeared, accompanied by her Uncle Joseph, a senator who was vis- iting New York for the first time. Upon seeing the chorus girls, she threatened to break her engagement, but delayed doing so until after the Benefit. The leading lady was played by Alex Nagus. The role of Ingenue was taken by Gerald Stoetzer. Walter Brunn entertained as the character woman portraying Georgek aunt. The delightful senator was none other than Jack Dick. Vernon Giessing proved a sensational find in his dancing and singing with Allen Nierrnan, a feature actor of the crew. Bob Moellering carried the role of a French rhythm instructor. The second act featured the Benefit Show, with the chorus executing some lively steps to the tune of eight new songs, written especially for the production by Messrs. Karres, Rogers, Schweppe, and Street. In the final act the comedy reached a happy conclusion when Frances found that the chorus girl? were not girls at all, but Georges friends, whom he had enlisted.

It is a memorial, giving enduring man- ifestation 0f the events of the past school year in a manner which no other publication of Valparaiso University endeavors to accomplish. The treasured worth of an annual lies in its ability to depict the life on the campus, to recognize the various institutions and organizations of student activity, the depart- ments of administration and instruction, and to grasp the spirit of the school and inti- mately portray it in the scenes and snaps. A yearbook should stimulate the memory and imagination even after the passing of several years a long way toward the point of complete recall of the events of the school year. The college life section has been arranged in chronological order, endeavoring to make a complete and comprehensive resume of the yeafs activities. The interest usually evidenced in this section warranted the inclusion of as many activitis as were deemed practical and desirable toward the end in View. Stress was put upon pictures of day to day activities of the students. The story of the entire school year is thus kept in a con- venient and enduring form. Included in the administration section, as an additional feature this year, are personal messages from the president, the dean of students, and the deans of each of the four col-I leges comprising our university. Recognition was thus given to the intimate relation which eXists between the administration, with its personal interest in the students, and the students, who are vitally influenced by them. A policy was attempted in which the sororities and fraternities were given an oppor- tunity to include a summary of their activities and policies of the current year. The entire layout has been revised to permit a more symmetrical presentation. The idea that The Record is a story was kept in mind at all times. Statistical data and mere tabulated material was omitted whenever feasible. The human element was added in the Views section, for the buildings in themselves are cold and impersonal, so the pictures were taken at a time when students could be included. An attempt was made not only to tell the story of this school year to enable it to relive itself again and again in the minds of the students, but also to inspire others with AHLBRAND CHRISTOP HER VOGEL MILLER MARTENS . MR. LEISER Page One Hundred Tbirty-four ,, ,, ACTIVITIES ,, ,, the spirit of Valparaiso. The success of our efforts to attain this end Will be attested only With the passing of the years. The staff acknowledges the co-operation of the student body as a Whole in helping to make this Record possible. In addition, recognition is given to Mr. Charles 0. Ander- son, art instructor, Who has furnished all the art work for the sub-division pages. Further assistance was rendered by Myrtle Elsner as secretary and typist, and by the members of the public relations department. The staff appreciates having had the privilege of publishing The 1932 Record, and takes this opportunity to thank the Student Council and the student body. 5 2 E E I l i E CThe Wecord Staff M. A.

Its purpose as a newspaper is to chronicle events, thus ac- quaintin'g the students, friends, and alumni With life at this university. It attempts to give entertaining and interesting stories about campus features and sidelights 0f the students. During the past year Tloe Torch has been thoroughly reorganized and now is con- ducted according to the managerial plan of newspaper management. This change has made it a better working institution of the campus. The writing of the paper is not con- fined to students of journalism alone. It is open to all. At the present time steps are being taken to make the paper a more active project. Under the present editorial staff and by the untiring efforts of Mr. A. F. Leiser, the faculty advisor, many press privileges have been obtained. The Torch has this year added a morgue and provisions for a budget and im- provement. Although The Torch is primarily a conveyor of news and a chronicler of events, it is also a laboratory organ for journalism students, thus giving an outlet for practical appli- cation of the theoretical instructions received in the lectures. Mr. Leiser supervises the editorial policy. THE TORCHlS PLATFORM To raise the cultural and spiritual level of college students. To promote scholastic efficiency. To build up athletics. To develop and maintain a social unity. To help build a bigger and better Valpo.

A call for material was responded to by a larger number of candidates than usual. The process of cutting the squad continued during the several preliminary debates between members of temporarily chosen local teams until three menis teams and two womenis teams were selected to represent Valpo in the ensuing forensic encounters. The season opened at Purdue on December 5, when Valparaiso Varsity lost a close decision given by the debate coach of University of Wisconsin to Butler. This was an exhibition debate at the invitation of the Indiana High School Debate Conference, includ- ing over eight hundred public speaking instructors, debate coaches, and debaters, by far the largest and most critical audience before which we had to appear this year. This Varsity team was composed of Paul Miller, Alvin Hoffman, and Alfons Briel. The Freshman merfs teams, Oliver Eggers, Karl Tilton and Wilmer Rekeweg, affirma- tive, and Louis Lichtsinn, Gerald Stoetzer and Arthur Raelson, negative, met Phrdue Freshman teams on December 8 and December 15, the afiirmative teams traveling. Both were non-decision debates. The Varsity met and sent home defeated a team from Miami University of Oxford, Ohio, on December 12, closing the pre-holiday season. Chief of the spring seasorfs events was the Manchester Debate Tournament, to which Valpo sent all three metfs teams. Thirty-nine teams were entered this year, and the eh- suing general inter-collegiate word-war resulted in honors for the home teams. Of the fifteen debates in which our entries were scheduled, only two decisions were given to op- ponents of the local squads. The menis season schedule included schools located in Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana. Teams were met in friendly encounters from Miami University on three occa- sions, Indiana State Teachers, Hanover, and Purdue at Valpo and Evansville twice, Frank- lin, Bowling Green twice, Taylor twice, Manchester on four occasions, Lake Forest, Rose Poly, John Carrol, and Goshen were met on their own or neutral platforms.

On February 15 the negative team traveled, winning their first decision debate of the season from Manchester there. Later, during February, Kalamazoo came here, and Olivet was sent home both defeated by our aibrmative. During March the return debate with Man- chester, and an exchange of engagements with Albion, and Purdue completed the womarfs debate season. Coach Morrow being coniined in the hospital with a serious throat infec- tion, the womenis trips to Albion and Purdue were taken under the chaperoned chauffeur- ing of Briel and Miller. The question developed by the Varsity included Unemployment Insurance, Recogni- tion of Russia, Stuart Chase Plan of Stabilizing Business, and the Capitalistic System of Organizing Society, both afhrmative and negative stand being taken at various times. The Freshman men met their opponents on the question of Recognition of Russia. The Womenis teams debated Cancellation of War Debts and Recognition of Russia. Both the two and three speaker formal debate and also the Oregon plan were used by the Val- paraiso teams in meeting their opponents. Forensics were organized for the flrst time on the campus this year and Paul Miller elected president, Alfons Briel Vice-president, and Laura Saeger secretary-treasurer. The purposes of the organization are to create and stimulate enthusiasm and interest in the fields of debate and oratory, facilitate organized study of debate questions, assist in the forwarding of departmental projects, and prepare for admission into a national honorary fraternity. A post-season banquet attended by debaters and their friends was at the same time a farewell dinner for the coach, Mr. Morrow. Talks and stories, interesting and hu- morous, epitomes of the season and prophecy 0f the future, reminiscences of episodes on trips taken by the various teams, and regrets expressed by the debators and coach formed an interesting program, with which the season was closed.

Nelson Tresentea' November 6th, 1931 TTHE KNOTX, a three-act drama, by Marian Lawrence Nelson, was the first major production of the University Players for the season of 1931-32. This play marked the entrance of the producing organization into the field of new and untried dramas. The play was widely heralded as an innovation and received the approval of a critical audience. The production of this play introduced to the local audience new players in the per- sons of Dorothy Siegert, who played the part of Naomi, the feminine lead; Alida Lein- inger, who played the part of Emily, second lead; Eleanor Dankenbring as Nan; Vernon Giessing as Stanley; and Milda Steinhebel as Lois. The male lead was carried by Henry Gieseke playing the part of David, with William Gurney as Enoch. The last two named are well known to attendants to the University PlayersT productions. In connection with this production, a contest was conducted by Alpha Psi Omega, in which Vera George won the prize for the best criticism of the play. The organiZation conducted this contest with the object of receiving helpful criticism for the benefit of the author in preparing the play for publication. Page One Hundred Forty CMP. Pz'm Passes CBy 3y d. M. Milne Tresented December Iltlo, 1931 The delightful comedy, uMR. PIM PASSES BY? which is one of the most popular of modern comedies, was the second production of the University Players for the season of 1931-32. This play was the one which paved the way for the success and present popu- larity of its author, A. A. Milne. This play was produced in the University Auditorium, Decemberll, 1931. The cast for this production was headed by some of the best known and most popular of the University Players. Eleanor Gieseke, who established her reputation carrying the title role in uCANDIDA,w a production of the University Players last year, played the fern- inine lead as Olivia Marden. Playing opposite her was William Gurney, playing George Marden. John Jokubonis furthered his reputation as a player of character parts in the title role as Mr. Pim. Henry Gieseke appeared as Brian Strange. Newcomers to the ranks of the University Players were Charlotte Knuth, who appeared as Dinah; Dorothy Herzer, who played Lady Marden; and Dorothea Lenthe appearing as Anne. Although the production was seriously handicapped by lack of adequate stage equip- ment, the presentation of this play, on the Whole, received the approval of its audience.

C1728 University Choir The Valparaiso University Choir is undoubtedly one of the most active and best known organizations on this campus. Mr. Schweppe, the director, is Ered With an undying enthu- siasm and love for music and has such a keen sense of beauty that it is impossible to sit through rehearsals Without being inspired. The daily rehearsals from ive to six oiclock become hours of recreation. Choir not only has a musical value but also a social one; it fosters group spirit and co-operation. Furthermore, it lights up many otherwise dark spots in an ordinary college existence. THE CHIMES OF NORMANDY ENSEMBLE Page One Hundred Forty-lwo - SIDELIGHTS OF THE CHOIR TRIP The dream of last year became an actuality this yearea choir trip. The concert tour consisted of a series of fourteen concerts beginning on February 2 and ending February 16. Appearances were made in Pekin, Rock Island tsponsored by Davenport, Iowa , and Elgin, in Illinois; Wausaw, Clintonville, Sheboygan, and Milwaukee, in Wisconsin; Grand Rapids, Saginaw, and Detroit, in Michigan; Napoleon and Cleveland, in Ohio; Hammond and Fort Wayne, in Indiana. On the whole, the tour was very successful, and much favorable criticism was received. Judging from past progress and future possibilities the choir has a very promising and interesting future. Last year the choir departed from its regular field of sacred music and entered the sec- ular, by giving the light opera the Chimes of Normandy? on May 28 and 29, in the Memorial Opera House. This interesting production had its setting in Normandy in the seventeenth century. The quaint and colorful costuming was no small attraction. The chorus Was complimented for its live interest and activity and the principal parts were unusually well taken. Due to the work on iTThe Messiah? no opera will be given this year, but it is hoped that one may be presented neXt year.

The Band was Well organized and played at most of the home football and basketball games. Formations were executed on the held during the football season under the leadership of Norman Westphal, drum major. Two trips were taken to Wheaton and St. Viators. The University'Orchestra, under the guidance of Mr. Frederick Schweppe, again had a successful season. Two public cOncerts were given, one during the winter months and another in spring. The Orchestra also functioned as accompanist for the University Chorus which presented The Messiahh in the Auditorium on May 6, and was on the pro- gram for the Commencement Day exercises on June 12.

Railroad is a model miniature railroad constructed for exhibition purposes. The model was conceived and begun by Dr. 0. H. Pannkoke, a number of years ago for his Children, Paul and Dorothy. Last year he offered to finance it to its completion if the students would do the work. For many months dozens of engineering and geology stu- dents have been constructing the railroad and equipment and creating the scenery, and slowly the model is beginning to give an indication of an ultimate achievement Which it will be difficult to duplicate in this country. It is difficult in words to show the magnitude of the undertaking, the quality of pains- taking workmanship Which already has gone into it, or the fascination of the completed model. It Will be unique; it will be fascinating; it must be seen to be appreciated. Page One Hundred Farty-jive The V Club The Varsity or RVi, Club is composed of all letter men at Valparaiso University. All men students having earned letters in any major sport are qualiiied, including football, bas- ketball, baseball, boxing, wrestling, tennis, and golf. It is an honorary organization, founded for the purpose of promoting a greater interest in athletics. One of the major functions of the VT, Club this year was the sponsoring of Sports, Night at Boucher Gym on March 17. The various phases of Valpds sport life were rep- resented. The evening started with a game of battle ball in which the Sophomores were defeated by the Frosh. Various boxing and wrestling matches were held. A picked group of girl cagers encountered a select team of basketball stars from the intramural Circuit. The contest was finally declared a draw. The Varsity five met an alumni aggregation and defeated them 28-5. During the interval of the two basketball games the W. A. A. girls performed some very clever TTcIogh dancing. The night was a success and proved a stim- ulus to intramural athletics. A basketball banquet was held immediately after the Var- sity-Alumni game. The officers this year were: John Smatlak, president; Robert Schmidt, vice-president; and Wilmer Knake, secretary-treasurer. J.

TWO members from each or- ganiZation represent their respective soror- ity. The privileges of electing the ofhcers is rotated yearly among the various groups. One year the president may be an Alpha Xi, the secretary an Alpha Phi, the treasurer, a Sigma Theta, and Vice-presie dent a Gamma Phi. The following year these offices Will be exchanged. This year Juanita Wolk was president; Marjorie Neel, vice-president; Ruth Darst, secre- tary; Olive Mohlman, treasurer. The chief purpose of this council is to promote friendship among the allied mem- bers. It realizes that no organization With similar purposes can be effective without a worthy organization upholding their com- mon interests. A sorority is founded on the objectives of offering a close feeling of sisterhood between members and of offer- ing a better chance for individual develop- ment of personality, Naturally, each so- rority tries to achieve this general result by varying methods, but the final result desired Will be uniform. It is evident that from the standpoint of sororities, they could not consider themselves an unqualified success until they made college authorities feel that they intend to be, and are in fact, a great co-operative force Which extends its influ- ence in the direction of helping the mem- bers to get the best out of their college relations, and Which act as an intermediary between the college and the individual in any case affecting the interest of both. Sororities are Willing to co-operate With administrative authorities Who may be seeking to remedy conditions found bad. 't ,. mam mem R ET 1 1. 5 Mmmuwrmmmmh ,. , Sororities have been accused of being snobbish, of dividing loyalties, and of fostering division and discord. They are charged with erecting artificial barriers, of showing disdain for personality, and of being unsisterly to those who are outside the realm of sororities. Sororities may help to make or they may help to break the individual whom they initiate. It depends largely on the control. The Intersorority Council aims to furnish this control. They hope to obliterate these Charges made by the general public, and to help the indi- Vidual sororities in turning out the highest type of college graduate. In order to promote the feeling of friendship, the social aspect must be emphasized. At a social function, sponsored by the Council, all girls are invited and they include also the non-sorority girls as well as those affiliated with sororities. This season is usually opened by a tea given on a Saturday afternoon several weeks after the opening of school in the fall. The wives of the faculty members are likewise invited, so the gathering is complete. This fusion of the women on the campus gives each individual an opportunity to become ac- quainted with others who are living in the same hall with them, but with Whom they are not yet acquainted. Each sorority is responsible for one number of the program. These may include musical selections, readings, Varying other types of activity in which the members are talented. This tea formally opened the rushing season, because all rushing before this date is forbidden by the constitution. The social program was furthered by the Frosh Welcome held at Elks, Hall on No- vember 19th. Not only organized girls were urged to attend, but all girl students were cordially invited. The event was a huge successgas it was the hrst of its kind to many of the new girls. Another of these socials was held under the name of the Spring Formal. The music was furnished by the local orchestra, The Kampus Kings. Both of these events were sponsored by all the sororities, each having its respective duty to perform. Since the Intersorority Council governs all members belonging to a sorority, it like- wise has the power to formulate the rules for the rushing of candidates and the method of pledging those deserving to become members. As stated before, the rushing season is opened by the annual tea. After this event the sorority girls may entertain any unor- ganized girl in whatever manner she desires. The idea is to become acquainted with all girls whom the sorority would like as future members. Each sorority is permitted one major rgsh party, to which are invited all probable candidates for pledging. This enter- tainment may be in the form of a week-end party held at some cottage, or of a bridge party, or dinner party, or whatever manner chosen to be most effective for an enjoyable time. Special girls are then chosen and rushed by the separate sororities. The method of pledging is that of the preferential bidding. Each sorority choses the list of girls whom it would like to pledge, and these form lists are checked by one person not affiliated with any sorority. Then each girl, desiring to join, is asked to state her first and second choice and place her selection in the ballot-box. These two lists are then com- pared, and the sororities are returned with the list of those girls who desire to pledge their group. The formal pledging is usually followed by a pledge dinner, but this is left entirely to the individual organiZation. However, a non-organized girl may be pledged anytime later, provided she meets the requirements. No girl is permitted to join a sorority until she has made a satisfactory scholastic average, and she must have been in attendance at this university for at least one semester. Thus the Council is guided by the following principles: To promote friendship among allied sororities, to foster and protect'ideals of individual sororities, to promote scholarship, to assist in maintaining a higher standard at the university, and by loyal co-operation to increase the membership of the student body and the influence of the Alma Mater. Page One Hundred Forty-m'ne M. s l l i O41pha X z' Epsilon uFriendship is born of loyalty? This motto is the one practiced by the mem- bers of the local Alpha Xi Epsilon Soror- ity. The girls carry out their motto by being friendly to everyone on the campus. The sorority was founded in 1919, by seven members with Mrs. Talcott as the faculty advisor, adopting the purpose to foster intellectual and social development. This semester the sorority is under the able leadership of Hulda Sauer; Christine Nelson and Olive Mohlman display their ability as Vice-president and secretary re- spectively; Zelma Lamb acts as treasurer. Last fall the girls opened their season of good times with a halloweien rush party, held at the Womenis Club. From the sound of the shrieks and shrills, which one . heard, and the sight of the bones carried home, one may conclude a very exciting time was had by all. The formal initiation banquet, which admitted eight pledges into the sorority, was held at Hotel Lembke on March 19. The girls, arrayed in their long flowy gowns, enjoyed a delicious dinner besides an entertaining program planned for the evening. The sorority colors, blue, pink and gold, were featured in the decorations. The newly initiates wore corsages of for- get-me-nots, the flower of the organiza- SAUER NELSON MOHLMAN WORSTELL LAMB COCHRAN PARKER BAUR. MRS. PALMER Ecx TESKE Page One Hundred Fifty tion. Many of the alumni came back to their Alma Mater for this occasion. The next social event scheduled for this year, is the Spring Social, Which Will be :1 garden party at the Country Club, on June 4. Like all other affairs, the members know the party Will be a success. The Alpha Xiis are keenly interested in many of the campus activities. Every member has been made eligible for the Womerfs Athletic Association. Various individuals are represented in the univer- sity choir, the university band, on the Torch staff and on the Honorary Varsity Girls basketball and baseball teams. The Alpha Xi Epsilon Sorority Will have to bid farewell to two of the most active members: Avis Worstell and Hulda Sauer. Avis is being graduated from the Law School and Hulda from the College of Liberal Arts.

Later the name was changed to the Greek, Alpha Phi Delta, which Was then the first social sorority on the campus. During the hfteen years of the history of this organization, the chief purpose has been to set forth the aims of the motto, uFidelity toward our members and our school and loyal friendship? Realizing the importance of these objectives, Alpha Phi Delta has taught its members how to be loyal to one another, and above all, how to be loyal to their 'school. This idea of hdelity is emphasized further in the choice of the colors: rose, signifying youth, and grey, signifying age, are symbols of the motto, Fidelity from youth to old age? The flower is the rose, very much in har- mony with the motto and Colors. Twelve girls were pledged this year at a formal banquet held at Hotel Lembke. Several weeks later a Poudre Puff Social was given at which a number of former actives were welcomed. The spirit of activity in school affairs is kept burning continually. Alpha Phi mm M S O R a R z r i z;- 3 Wummwa Delta has attained first place among the sororities in regard to scholarship. Oliicers of various classes are members of this so- rority. Furthermore, the leading roles in the two plays presented this year were played by two outstanding Alpha ths. Four of its members were on the debating team, while others sang in the University Choir. In the field of athletics, Alpha Phi had a good basketball team, ranking sec- ond to the Independent Team. Last but not least Alpha Phi Delta proudly claims this year,s Smile Girl as a sister. Often during the wintry days Alpha ths could be found skating at Sagers and when spring arrived the tennis courts were frequently Visited by them. Now. the sorority is looking forward to the Japanese Spring Social. The members comprising this sorority come from as far west as California, as far east as Pennsylvania, as far south as Ar- kansas, and as far north as Wisconsin. L United into one, they are striving to up- hold the ideals and purposes of the soror- ity, that is uTo create stronger, truer, and more lasting bonds of friendship? This friendship means so much here at school, and will mean more in years to come when school days are only a memory. 1 t l ? l x l .5 .9 STONER 7 ZECHIEL BIBZA KNUTH WALKER LEININGER R; DARLING GEHL RENTNER EIcH MALUEG DANKENBRING KESSLING Woons Page One Hundred Fifly-fbree 5 Cam ma P12 2' Gamma Phi Sorority was organized and chartered in August, 1918, by seven girls. Since this memorable date, this sorority had tried to offer true sisterhood to all members. The purpose of Gamma Phi has been and still is, to encourage a spirit of true sisterhood, to develop a high mental and moral standard, and to promote col- lege activities by active participation in them. The idea of true sisterhood is implanted at the time When a girl becomes a pledge. A Big Sister is Chosen for her, who is thought to be most capable of helping her in her first years at college. She is to be a confident, to Whom her Little Sister can confide all the troubles of her college life. A spirit of willingness to help others is set forth, and the pledges are taught to bear their burdens cheerfully. The creation of mental and moral standards set forth by the motto is carried out by the emphasis placed on scholarship. To possess a well-balanced personality, the sorority girl must keep up her scholastic average. Gamma Phi boasts of a great number of its members Who are on the University Honor Roll yearly. The social activities this year were initi- ated by a rush party held at the Valpa- raiso Country Club. The feature of the HEINEMAN MRS. PEPER WOLK KREINHEDER KRAMER A. NOLDE RANDLER JACOBSON A.

The pledge din- ner was held at Tufte,s Tavern early in November. At this time Miss Olive Log- erstrom, Mrs. Ann Skinner, Mrs. Kather- ine Reno became honorary pledges. During the many weeks of pledge ser- vice, the pledges looked forward to the days when they, too, could be called actives. Concluding their period of proba- tion, they entertained the actives at a de- lightful iiBackwards Bridge,i party, given at the home of Jane Kreinheder, on March 14. Formal initiation was held at the Lembke Hotel on March 18. A delightful banquet was served, and the new members were cordially welcomed into the fold. The formal spring social was held at Elks, Hall on May 7. Since the sorority aims to keep in close contact with its former members, the Alumni are invited to attend this social, and to review former school days, and likewise to become ac- quainted with their new sisters.

This year Ruth Darst is at the head of the organization with Mildred Garbers assisting her as Vice-President. Louise Schueffner is the secretary and Margaret Heinecke holds the office of treasurer. The first great event of the social cal- endar is the one rush party allotted by the I. S. C. This year the traditional week-end party was held at the Black Hawk Hotel at Flint Lake. The girls motored there on Saturday afternoon and many games were played on the sandy beach. That night stories were told by the bonfire, games were played in the spacious park, walks were taken in the moonlight along the water and other forms of entertainment were enjoyed until the wee morning hours. Everyone was up early the following morning full of pep and ready for break- fast. The pledge dinner, which was formal, was held at the Lighthouse on November 14. At this time Rhoda Henning was elected pledge captain and continued to exercise her authority over the pledges un- til the granting of the third degree for membership on March 21. The Fall Social is always formal and is held at the Elks, Temple. The Spring So- cial is generally a sport affair and for the past few years it was held at the Country Club. This event is always greatly anticie pated, as here everyone appears as gay col- legians in their sport togs. The Sigs enjoy many spreads held in their own rooms in the tfsorority house? By the laughter and the noise one can al- ways tell that they are having a good tithe. Several parties were held this year for the alumni Who spent a few days visiting their Alma Mater. Many times during the spring the Sigs are seen along the banks of Sagers enjoying an early morning break- fast. The Sig Thetas are well represented in campus activities. The basketball team made a very creditable showing and two of the girls rated positions on the Honor- ary Varsity Girlsi Team. Others in addi- tion have earned sufficient points to pass the requirements for membership in W. A. A.

When this fraternal organization was founded eleven years ago it had foresight enough to see that such an organization should be created which would have the power and authority to govern all Greek Letter Groups willing to come under its jurisdiction. Today all the social fraternities at Valparaiso University come within the government of the Inter-Fraternity Council. The unity of action, the sameness in spirit, and the co-operation and broadened atti- tude developed by this unifying organization goes a long way toward eradicating petty jealousies, unsportsmanlike rivalries, and malicious propaganda. Differences between fra- ternities are judiciously considered and equally and fairly settled. It gives no organization just cause to engage in physical combat with another over real or imagined grievances. It prevents all from purposely spreading propaganda which may in any way besrnirch the name of another organization on the Hill. Problems arising between the fraternities and the administration have a centralized body with which they may be discussed. The willingness of the Inter-Fraternity Council in co-operating with the administration in problems affecting them both has been repeat- edly tested and not found wanting. Many problems have been solved by the careful consideration given to them by its members. The result has been that today the Council is considered one of the important and essential bodies on this campus. Incentive is created by the Inter-Fraternity Council to promote a higher scholastic standing, a congenial social atmosphere, and competitive athletic functions. Incentive in scholastic achievement is introduced by the offering of a scholarship cup to the fra- ternity having the highest scholastic average for the semester. Smokers, stag gatherings, and socials furnish part of the recreational activities. A Sunday afternoon bridge tourna- ment was a popular feature of the Winter months. This brightened up an otherwise dull Sunday afternoon. Friendly rivalry was induced by tournaments in basketball, baseball, indoor ball, and sports events on the annual Field Day. In all this the promotion of friendly relations and a spirit of good fellowship among the various fraternities has always been the primary objective of the Inter-Fraternity Council.

In its twenty-ninth year the or- ganiZation continues to thrive With all the enthusiasm and determination of the darker days When fraternities were banned and the AFHs alone braved the storm un- til fraternities were officially recognized in 1919. Space does not permit an extended per- spective 0f the panorama of A. E. develop- ment. Sulhce it to say that the criterion of the organization has been symbolical of that undaunted spirit of fraternal good- fellowship and genial fidelity for the wel- fare of all brothers. Every alumnus writes of his peerless trust in, and his ardent en- thusiasm for, the perpetuation of the standards for Which the organization has stood. The active members are ably carrying on the traditions of their predecessors and naturally have, at all times, tried to main- tain a ranking position among the various organizations affiliated With the I. F. C. In scholastic endeavors Alpha Epsilon has, as it were, struck the happy medium. Brilliant scholastic records have not al- ways been theirs, however, neither have they ever failed to meet the scholastic standards that the university authorities demand. In eXtra-curricular activities also, A1- pha Epsilon has tried to make its influence felt. It has, by sponsoring certain social events, contributed its share to the social life enjoyed on the campus. An Intra- mural athletic resume of the last four years reveals that Alpha Epsilon can just- ly claim equality With any organization on the Hill. It can in fact, Without a seem- ing spirit of braggadocio, Claim a position of superiority. Six trophies won, and ranking second in five other events, With the course of the current year yet to be run, should and does offer a substantial basis for such a claim. Individual athletic awards were won by George Bloedel, When he captured the ping-pong championship and shared first place with another in the Winter Sports Carnival. Both events were held two years ago. The same year Gene DeGrazia won the golf championship. Alfred Soldwish and John Duchay have a monopoly on the top-notch TORCH staff positions, holding down the editorship and associate editorship, respectively. A1 is al- so president of the Iota Sigma Chi, a na- tional honorary journalism fraternity, While Duke serves the same organization in the capacity of secretary-treasurer.

Kappa Delta Pz' At the close of the year 1919 a small body of twelve students and two faculty members met and formed an organization which was known as the Omicron Phi Theta Fraternity of Valparaiso University. After about one year, the brothers in Omicron Phi Theta Fraternity deemed it wise to accept an invitation to become members of Kappa Delta Pi, a national so- cial organization, and in 1920 this afElia- 'tion was effected, the local organization becoming the Xi chapter. Under this healthful influence, the fraternity con- tinued to grow and flourish. In 1930 it was decided to drop the na- tional affiliations, and Kappa Delta Pi con- tinued as a local organization. Today it has a membership of thirty-nine actives and two pledges, one of the largest frater- nities on the hill. It has an alumni mem- bership of one hundred and twenty. Kappa Delta Pi Fraternity endeavors to provide a well-balanced program of active ities for its members. If approached only from the scholastic, with no consideration given to social and athletic endeavors, the full value of a college education has not been realized. Primarily, it fosters and encourages dili- gent study and the pursuit of scholastic endeavors. Results of this atmosphere are evidenced by the possession bf two suc- cessive scholarship cups oifered by the Inter-Fraternity Council. The social standards upon Which the organization is built provides excellent opportunity for the development of character and manh- ness through friendship and association. Along the lines of varsity athletics it has contributed four men to the basketball team and four men to the football squad. In Inter-Fraternity basketball it was the 1932 Victor. In eXtra-curricular activities Kappa Delta Pi is not dormant. The members take a deep interest in the various campus organiZations and activities, and have at- tained executive positions in the Buccae neers, the Record, Commerce Club, Wal- ther League, both in the local and district organizations, and in three of the classes, Senior, Sophomore, and Freshmen. Some of the members are also represented in the musical organizations, and one is on the debate team. It is represented in every de- partment of the University, save in one of the hne arts. In spite of all of this outside activity, Kappa Delta Pi has ranked high- est in scholarship for the last seven semes- ters.

Are they good or bad? That is the question often asked by college men and more often by their parents. That is the question that the administration of Valparaiso University asked itself when the insistent clamoring of the students for fraternities on the campus was again and again brought to their attention. The an- swer is, uBothf, They are good when well managed, and bad when mismanaged. They possess great possibilities. They ful- fill a usefulness that the classroom can- not provide, and are an adjunct to the school. The administration came to this conclu- sion also when it relinquished its ban on fraternities in 1919. Fraternities sprang up rapidly. During the neXt three years nine were organized and duly recognized by the University. Among the first of these was Kappa Iota Pi, which marks November 14 as its anniversary. From the standpoint of the fraternity it could not feel itself an unqualified success until it had made the college authorities feel that it intended to be, and were in fact, a great co-operating influence in the direction of helping its members get the best out of their college relations, that it Auch Kruse Shimek Willman Goodchild Knueppel Kreinheder Looman A.

The enforced scholarship standard of the freshman year aids greatly in the ad- vancement of scholarship. The free life of an independent freshman would lead to laxity in his studies, that is, of course, if he were one of the general type of fresh-. men, the kind to Whom the degree is the education. Discipline during the hrst year is of great importance since it is the form- ative year of the habits to follow during his college career. The fraternity has high ideals and ef- forts are made to Carry out these ideals. The individual members realize that they reflect the group and the group the indi- vidual. In fact, any overt act on the part of the fraternity Will reflect on the stu- dent body as a Whole. Every effort is made to maintain decent scholastic and moral standards. Kappa Iota Pi has done all in its power to preserve the good name, not only of its own fraternity, but also of the others on the campus, and hopes to maintain its ideals in the future. y Bella Johnston Schnellbacher Sieloff Wisch Bell Fritz Krahnke Lichtsinn Lukens Melinat Nuechterlein A.

The Zeta chapter, the third to come into existence, was installed at Valparaiso University in 1916. Sigma Delta Kappa is now composed of thirty- one chapters located in various universi- ties in every section of the country. Sige ma Delta Kappa is one of the six largest fraternities of its kind. It is strictly pro- fessional and membership is limited to law students or practicing lawyers of the highest character. The fraternity has come to recognize that its future is entirely dependent upon its recognition of the fact that it is an integral unit of the educational system. Its problems are to provide the necessary facilities and adequate leadership that Will more closely tie the chapter up With the educational program. In addition to pre- serving all its virtues as a social organiza- tion, to supplement that Which is already being done in the class-room, it is building a real life in the Chapter house on an in- tellectual level.

The method employed is the creation of a spirit that a mental drone cannot survive, that every man Will count it a test of his ability and of his loyalty to his fraternity to perforin every task as well as he has it in him to do. Zeta chapter has always been active in all campus activities, in Which its mem- bers have played prominent parts. Its sphere of activities branch out into the academic, the social, and the athletical. During the current year A. Owen Hawkins has filled the position of Chan- celloi'; Rex R. Grovert, Vice-Chancellor; Kenneth E. McMillen, Secretary-Treas- urer; Paul N. Noel Chaplain and Chapter Editor; Vernon Reich, Bailiff. Sigma Delta Kappa has a strong alumni association which has been of invaluable aid to the chapter. The official organ, Si-De-Ka, a quarterly publication, serves as a co-ordinating medium between the active chapter and the alumni association. Its members are to be found before the bar and on the bench of practically all courts in the Calumet Region and many have risen to prominence in national political Circles. PROF. MORLAND PROF.

SMATLAK SIEGEL Sigma Delta Chi Sigma Delta Chi Fraternity was found- ed November 14, 1919, at Columbia Hall by a group of students then enrolled at Valparaiso University. Mutual friendship, similarity of ideals, and the recognition of a fraternal spirit manifest in man were the forces which lead this group to organize. These principles being realized, the organi- zation therefore had a good beginning. Throughout the years of its existence it has held high these ideals perpetuated by men of the same Character as its founders. The local group was duly recognized and incorporated by the State of Indiana on March 6, 1923, but already it had made a name for itself in the scholastic, ath- letic, and social life of the campus. It soon became aifiliated With the Inter-Fraternity Council and has been one of his staunch pillars. The spirit of co-operation and feL lowship with other fraternities on this campus has been furthered by the mem- bers of Sigma Delta Chi. The importance of scholarship has been kept in mind. Although Sigma Delta Chi has never received outstanding awards for excellence in scholarship, an effort has been made to strive for the best average possible. ; E a E , In the past and in the present records show that Sig Chi,s have been outstand- ing athletes. They have participated in football, baseball and basketball. Intra- mural sports likewise have not been neg- lected. For two consecutive years the highest scores on Field Day have been made by members of Sigma Delta Chi. Some outstanding athletes Will hold a prominent position in Valparaisds Ath- letic History, and at present several mem- bers are striving for their positions in the Hall of Fame. Sigma Delta Chfs are not socially dor- mant. Smokers for rushes, house parties for the entertainment of both sexes, and the two annual socials are prominent en- tertainments. The good fellowship mani- fested to all the guests fosters the true spirit of enjoyment. Founded upon truthfulness and schol- arship, continued by loyalty, toleration, good-fellowship, Sigma Delta Chi Will go down through the years as it has in the past, offering a helping hand to everyone, loyally supporting all school activities and events, its principles remaining forever in the hearts of those Whom it has taught the true meaning of Brotherhood.

Phillips, C. S. Randall, and C. A. Rite- nour, attending Valparaiso University, formed an organization that has been among the leading fraternities on the hill. It has constantly lent its loyal support to all the endeavors of the University. Since 1914 Phi Delta Psi has constantly grown and has sent alumni all over the United States and to various other countries. The Phi Psfs were organized with the idea to promote a spirit of good fellow- ship, and to encourage scholastic as well as athletic efliciency. The organization has been active especially along athletic lines, and many of its members are found on the roster of the football, basketball, baseball, and tennis teams. The boys have also shown a great interest in the various intramural contests, including basketball and baseball. The Inter-Fraternity Coun- cills sport events have also found the Phi Psfs as active participants and keen come petition for the initial position. The chapter consists of twenty-eight active brothers and two pledges. During the season Phil White, Gordon Duffner, John Mueller, Arthur Heuer, William Wendling, Jack Meihlan, and William Gonzales 'Were pledged. Albert Whelan and pledges Les Hale, Fred Wiley, and Paul Wittengel found it necessary to dis- continue studies at Valpo during the year. Various social activities were sponsored during the school year. The annual Win- ter social was held in the form of a Win- ter Sports, Carnival at Which Brother Harland Hartman and his orchestra were the entertainers. A house party was held in the early spring, and the big Phi Psi Reunion social climaxed. the season on June 11, to strengthen their connections with the fraternity and also the school. The officers who have led the Phi Psi,s during the first semester are: Alvin Knip- stein, Chancellor; Alfred Peters, Vice- Chancellor; Clarence Strutz, Scribe; and Jake Skinner, Purser. The second semester the officers were: Karl Hellerman, Chan- cellor; Leo Meister, Vice-Chancellor; Carl Buege, Scribe; and Jake Skinner, Purser.
