The strength of our ideals, the faith of our fathers have led us through a darkened world into the light. It is to you, our returned servicemen, Who have fought for the preservation of our ideals, that we humbly and gratefully dedicate this 1946 Beacon. Page 4 Preface T IS YOURS, this picture of yesterday. It belongs to you, the Wide-eyed freshman, the sophisticated senior. It is the story of your year, a record of your dreams, your hopes, your accomplishments. You are at once its principal players and its interpreters. It has no theme other than that Which you provide; it lacks rigidity of structure as does your campus life. Take it home with you, this piece of memory. Read between the lines. Remember the little things, the end of autumn days from .a rain-splashed Window . . . the mood of yellowing leaves and faded summer; a Winters twilight, purple on the glistening snow . . . the mood of blanketed silence and faith in Him Who was born 1,900 years ago; the hesitant beginning of spring on Wednesday evenings Which are clear as the church bells that sing of peace . . . the mood of Lent and hope. Remember the deeper things, the more abstract. The Christian meaning of the pattern of the University. We have tried to capture this elusive beauty, this essence we call Valparaiso. We have attempted to put down on paper its amaz- ing meaning. If, With the aid of this book, you Will iirecollect in tranquillity tomorrow or twenty years from tomorrow the peace you knew here, we Will not have strived in vain. 8 3Q3Q AUTUMN ARTISTRY-uStudy in 0mm; Page 6 A canvas, colorful and kaleidoscopic, acroSs Which. move the figures of facult and would-be scholars . .' . of football heroes and their admirers . . . of hundred of freshmen, sophomores, and juniors Whose signiflcance is determined by t1: central hgures 0f the pattern, the administr'ationt WINTER FANTASY The gaiety of college life, the realiza' ' sororities and fraternities . . . clubs, p basketball games.

Page 7 PRESIDEN T 0. P. Page 8 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of undersvtandingfi Psalm 49, 3. Through his inspiring, Christian leadership, President 0. P. Kretzmann exerts a lasting influence on the student body. The purpose and pattern of the Univere sity reflect his belief in a philosophy of life and work Which reaches beyond the temporal. Beyond University walls, President Kretzmann is noted for his contributions as author, editor, speaker, and educator. But to the students he is better known as versatile counselor and friend. His spirit will be perpetuated by countless memoriese-the Witty host in his candle-lit, pine-banked home at Christmas, the proud father of baby John Paul, the enthusiastic fan of the Crusaders, the philosophic Gamaliel of Christianity and Modern Problems, the sympathetic tower of strength in time of tragedy, the devout figure kneeling at the chapel altar. In these days of expansion and future planning, no more trusted or far- sighted pilot could stand at the helm of the University. Where hero-worsbz'p begins: the Presidenfs reception. Now, as my son Joe would say? CHAPEL HNot with eyeservice, as menepleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart. If there is any single force which has faithfully guided our university along these lines, it is Chapel. Valparaiso is a whole living body with chapel as the heart from which its life-blood flows. This year, that heart has been temporarily paralyzed; but the stream of life which it has given through the years still continues, the pulsations are still there. For all that Chapel signifles still beats in us. Through the consecrated efforts of our spiritual leaders, the course of this blood stream has been ever direct and purposeful. Pulsing through all of campus life, now rippling, it still winds through the quiet hours of sleep and study; now surging, it swells forth in endeavor with the fullehodied fury of floodetide. For the flrst time in our college days, it was found necessary to suspend Matins for the period of several months. Strangely, we did not look forward to an additional halfehour in our day. We asked for more frequent devotions and meditations, for the continuation of Wednesday night church service and for occasional outdoor Matins and Vespers. The heart still pulsed through all of campus life, but there was an empty space, a dull feeling, a faint and irregular beat. When fall comes, the sustaining transfusion will again become a part of us, swelling the veins with the power of the blood of Him whom we would serve. C waking up tz'me-scarred stairs to twenty minutes of peace. Gregorian music lent mystic beauty to Matins and Vespers. This year saw the reorganization of the Chapel Choir under the direction of M. Alfred Bichsel. It brought to us the signiflcance of our liturgical heritage. Bach fugues, GoaVs Time Is Best, Komm Suesser Tod these are an unforgettable part of our morning devo- tions and our Sunday church services. Head of the Chapel Committee M. Alfred Bich x $91 daily provided us With inspiring background for our Chapel service. Page 11 A church should have a tapering spire Whose silent finger points to Heaven.

Sauerman, Treasurer, B OARD 0F DIRE C TORS Page 22 In October the Board of Directors of Valparaiso University outlined an expansion plan costing $5,000,000 to reach over a period of ten years. Because of the inllux of new students this semester, it was deemed advisable and necessary to step up this program, and plans were immediately drawn up for the erection of two new dormitory units dur- ing the period of 1946-47. This $800,000 expenditure is the first step toward the new Valparaiso that Will supplant the old Valpo, Which has expanded beyond the limits of its present capacities. It is particularly fitting that now with the toil and turmoil which engulfs the world, a new Valparaiso should be built; now more than ever there will be a need for educated men and women who have been taught well in the ways, of education, and who also have a background of Christianity through which they must apply their education to guide a troubled world. This will be a realization of the dream of the hopeful men who took over Valpo for the Lutherans twenty years ago. This will be the Lutheran educational center of the world i . . a Lutheran institution of higher learning that will be the equal of any other university in caliber of scholarship and education, but which will have an intangible something which can only be present when the faculty and students have a Christian atti- tude in their dealings with each other and with the world. WOMENiS GUILD At the close of the 14th convention of the University Guild, Valparaiso found the en, thusiasm and initiative of this organizations members unparalleled. At present the mem- bership is as high as 3,500, and over half of the United States is represented. Altruria Hallis chapel is. one of the many gifts presented by this organization, Which helps to create and develop a greater interest in Valparaiso University as an institution of Christian higher education. Establishing book nooks in the dormitories, beautifying the campus landscape With trees and various plants, and making countless other gestures have proved the Guild an outstanding benefactor to the University. After five years of unfaltering success, the Guild has reason to believe that in the near future they Will Witness the fulfillment of their dream. At present they are confronted With the task of raising $75,000.00 to erect Guild Hall; however, it is needless to say that this womenis residence Will materialize. The new residence Will be a symbol of What hard work, patience and faith can produce. Presiding at the fall meeting of the national guild are: Mrs. Arthur Taube, president; Mrs. Walter Hansen, secretary; Miss Louise Nicolay. treasurer; Mrs. Ernest Schwiebert, executive secretary. Page 23 I PROFESSORS DEAN W. G. F RIEDRICH The Dean? The freshmen remember him. At registration day he was the man we Would have sworn was tripletsethe way he took charge of the endless Comp. I line, scrawled adviserst names on long sheets of registration cards, barked answers to silly, freshmen- like questions, and tried to help the desperate sophomores who followed him around, dogalike, because they hadnit decided on a major. Dean Friedrich? Of course the juniors know him. It didnit take us long to find out his name and to learn that he was head of the English department He was such an interesting instructor that we decided to enroll in his English courses. Dean Friedrich soon knew us, too, and suddenly a more personal contact was established. Dean? For the senior, spaghetti suppers and evenings spent listen- ing to records at his home are a treasured memory. For now, after. four years, we recog nize Dean VJalter G. Friedrich not only as a Wise and respected scholar, but as a good friende-a Vital, essential part of the pattern that is Valparaiso. Page 24 ARE PEOPLE JULIUS W.

On that day, however, he makes up for lost time, teaching a full schedule of freehand drawing, his tory of art, and advanced courses. He not only encourages embryonic Van Goghs, but as you see by the picture, he even draws pictures. Good ones, too. t ' w: is 9 JOSEPH, E BALDWIN - L Sacibiogy ALICE R.

Yet through friendliness and an eagerness to help, they were able to win the respect and friendship of the frosh. And at the same time their ree lationship with upperclassmen became more closely knit. They left dormitories for houses, took part in rushing, ate at the Shanty. They expanded their academic energies into the field of psychology. The were itbig sis- tersfi They spent many free hours in the Union, helping to keep up the enthue siasm of being college students. They talked about 1253. They grew in Valpo spirit, becoming evermore a part of the inner workings of the Hill; they assumed more of the came pus responsibilities, proud of their new position as upperclassmen. They were eager, hardened, wise+they were sopho- mores. tvv ,- r't'l They were sophomores now. They were principal proponents of the Bridge Mania that swept the campus in the fall of 45. They were Student Union devotees, VdShoppe inhabitants, South Carn- pustry majors. They studied, but not in the library. Instead they threw their books on the long game table in the Union, twined their legs around the wooden bench, and proceeded to discuss the Shake- spearean sonnet. They read book reviews in Time magazine, laughed at cartoons in Esquire, sighed over fashions in M ademoiselle. They became adjusted socially as well as intellectually.

Page 59 THE jUNIORS The war was scarcely two years old when we set our stakes in Valparaiso ethe largest class in the Universityts history until that time. Our hazing is still cherished memories of calisthenics at 5 A.M. on Brown Field, of rain pouring down our backs as we scrubbed Student Bridge, of our hde-potting banquet. That year it seemed that daily we said goodbye to the boys, and for weeks after we missed Bill, who sat next to us in Chapel, or Joe, who waited on tables in the dining room. Then suddenly it was over, that first year, and we were sophomores! We felt racy and mean in our red as we sliced the air with our paddles, get- ting that old right in shape for another hazing. We put that huge mass of Frosh through the mill and it was a job! And now were juniors, and we suddenly discover that we have only a short time left . . . only a little while yet to go to Chapel and to 8 otclocks and to wear saddle shoes . . . only a year left to soak in memories of Valpo in the autumn . . . such a little time to make strong friendships stronger. But were seeing the New Valpo rise . . . wetre watching dreams turn into realities, and we believe in the future.

And the angel flew up, up, up toward the heavenly home, holding tenderly the two souls who were ready to meet GodW We were comforted when we thought of this, for seldom has tragedy struck so sharply and bit- terly. That Marian Holmes and Theodora Jebens should so suddenly be gone from us was hard to believe. Their passing was the beginning of their real lives, but for those whom they left behind it was not so happy. We woke up with the stark shock of it and asked, uWhat can we do? The whole campus had the same thought, and suddenly we were the true Uni- versity family united by a bond of sorrow. We learned a lesson the hard way; we saw petty campus differences fade into nothingness in the face of grief; we watched friendly hands reach out to help in a quiet way those who suffered.

The Brown and Gold football uniforms came out of the storerooms after a two-season lay-off during which timerthe pigskin sport was a wartime casualty on our campus. In these faded jerseys, pants, and padding were 35 rough, eagergand spirited Crusaders. Coaches Loren Ellis and Don Warnke made Valpds new grid squad sweat for hours in the hot September sun. The eHorts of both coaches and players were generously re- warded the hrst time they donned their full dress uniforms. The Crusaders paraded through Indiana State at Terre Haute in the T45 opener. Valpo 25, State' 6. They looked good on the ground, fair in the air, very potent in the defense department. One week laterethe flrst home game in three years. An improv- ing Crusader machine rolled over Central Normal, 32-2. They displayed Iiashes of speed, deception, power, stubbornness. North Central became their third Victim. The flghting Valpo gridders fashioned a 33-0 Whitewashing job. Freeland ran and passed; Hines and LaRocca galloped around end; Kuckhahn plowed through the middle. The Crusader line pushed relentlessly for sixty minutes. October ZOeValpo vs. Ball State at Muncieetheir toughest opponent to date. They outplayed the Muncie boys in all depart ments but had to be satisfled With 21 76 win for their fourth straight. Elmer Martinsenhs talented toe was just What the doctor ordered. Army-bound Harvey Freeland and Dick Stayten continued to play great ball in their last appearances With the Ellis-coached Valpo gridders. A weakened and battered Crusader eleven had another busy day When Eastern Kentucky invaded Brown Field. Their perfect record remained intact as a second 76 victory was recorded by the Brown and Gold. Martinsen0s extra point and a blocked Kentucky conversion attempt kept the Valpo percentage at 1.000.

P., a bencb-warmer from way back This 1945 edition of the Crusaders was a surprising squad. Composed of 17 year olds, veterans, 4eFis, and prospective draftees, the inexperienced Valpo team boasted few outstanding high school athletes. But What the Brown and Gold lacked in talent they made up With a fervent desire to Win, and this proved to be a very success- ful formula. They worked and played hard all season. They thrilled 1500 . students and home town fans in each of their four appearances in Valpo. They made Valpois entry into the post-war football picture an undenied success.

They 1311 the clothes racks in the library and are stacked in huge piles at basketball games and student forums. They are crowded into fraternity house closets and cover the coat trees of freshmen dorms. On weekends they are placed more carefully 0n couches at Lembke and Dodge, and they sit on the porches of sorority houses. At class time, they are draped over drawing boards and typewriters, and answer to a great nume her of the Umistersh When roll is called. They wait in line at the bookstore, and hurry in and out of gym locker rooms, the TORCH office, and student council meetings. They are placed on the hooks outside chem and bio labs, but they are most often seen disappearing inside the engineering building. They walk up and down College Avenue just as they have walked right into the middle of life at Valpo; and even though they are gradually being re- placed by tweeds and loafer jackets, What these coats and jackets have stood for Will never be forgotten.

With the exception of the Si De Kals who reorganized at the beginning of the second semester, all the fraternities again have their own houses. Consequently, the Interfraternity Council played a signilicant role in campus life. Each of the six fraternities send two delegates to the regular weekly meetings. Offices alternate annually. Membership of the Council was composed this year predominantly of veterans. Members were Al Koenig, president, and Godfrey Heinecke, Phi Psi; Ed Busse and Carl Blume, Kip; Vic Kretzmann and Al Speckman, AE; Dave Rietz and Clarence Heller, Sig Chi; John Sauerman and Herman Bull, KDP; Dick Wasikowski and Fred Froehlich, Si De Ka. IFC formulates the qualilications for membership in a fraternity, stipulates the time and duration of the rushing period, schedules rush parties, regulates rushing hours, judges all in- fractions of rushing rules and levies lines accordingly. It was decided in the second semester to postpone all rushing and pledging in order to revert to pre-war regulations of one 6-week rushing period a year. IFC sponsors interfraternity competition in all intramural sports. The purpose of the Council is llto create a closer relationship between fraternities . . . and to declare standards governing such fraternities that desire representation in the Councilfl Their work has done much to promote the cause of friendly competition and to spread a general unity over the organized male students of the campus.

Shostakovich and his contemporaries are taking front seats at Music Club meetings.

It's fun to get educated by spending an evening With Showboat or Rhapsody in Blue.

They can expound the contents of a dogiish shark and eat ice cream and cake at the same time. Their vocabulary is unspellable. It takes a long time to say measles the medical way. Their enthusiasm and their desire to learn is promise that the hospitals of the future will be well-manned. They are more than good catedissecters. They are eager scholars of medicaY science, ready to accept new theories and to pioneer new fields. This year the Biology Club Went conservative. There were no hourm beforeethe-dawn breakfasts with stoic skeletons as guest partakers of eggs scrambled 0n Bunsen. burners in the microatech lab. But there were comforta able getatogethers in Dr. Elliottis living room, where wideI-awake students took up the discussion for which Mr. Bloom and Dr. Elliott had set the pace. There were pleasant lunches and general cameraderie. The group elected its oflicers: Louise Ebel, president;,Eunice Prange, Vice president; Pearl Hem- meter, secretary-treasurer. It was fun to belong; and so the Biology Club was as popular as it has always been. his: MAJORS CLUB THEY STICK TO SPORTS In only the second year of its existence, the Physical Education Majors Club has earned itself a rather outstanding pogition in the sport and social activities on the Campus. Formed for and by Physical Education majors, the organization is interested in aiding those Who intend to become teachers, in dealing With the more complex problems in sports and physical training. in furnishing most of the oHicials for women,s intramurals, and in providing competition for teams in the tournaments by entering a team of its own. The executive duties and responsibilities of the organization lie in the hands of Terry Lagler, president; Nathalie Tank, Vice president; and Nora Heimbuch, secretary-treasurer. The organization functions With the idea of showing more interest nbt only in physical activities but in the rest of the school also. Page 116 THEY LEAN TOWARD LAW Our men are returning to the campus With renewed interests. The return- ing Veterans and newcomers are in the swing of building bigger and more active organizations. We lind that Victory has not only provided men for the various academic schools represented at Valparaiso, but also for the clubs. With men beginning to outnumber women once again, the Preelegal Club moves forward With a new beginning. Over ten years ago, Dean Morland and Dr. 0. C. Kreinheder organized this club to interest law students With various technicalities in the laW lield. Today we lind the members extremely active preparing fleld trips to criminal courts in Chicago and also in Lake County' of Indiana. Loren Schnack, president; Wesley Kipp, Vice president; Mary Lerche, secretary; and John Bolgert, treasurer, conduct meetings once a month under the sponsorship of Dean Morland. These lawyers of tomorrow also listen With enthusiastic interest to many guest speakers. After most of these sessions, the guest speaker discusses questions brought to the floor by the pre-legal students. -r 33 PRE-LEGAL CLUB Page 117 ROUN D TABLE DIPLOMATS Page 1 18 Across tables in Recital Hall a constitution is born. It is a constitution that talks about creating alert interests in international aEairs. The charter members of a newlyeorganized International Relations Club form purposes and objectives. Across Dr. Schwiebertts living room, the future of the universe is estie mated. Even strawberry Shortcake must wait until the heat of the argument has died down. The IRC encourages and practices complete freedom of dis- cussion through informal forumst Sometimes the forums are open to the general public. Regional conferences are wellerepresented by Valpo. Treasured by IRC is a collection of valued books and pamphlets Which occupies a section in the library. In addition, Fred Lammert, president; Herb Treichel, Vice presi- dent; Elaine Seltz, secretary; and Doris Kurth, corresponding secretary, under the sponsorship of Professor L.A.Wehling,maintain an up-to-date bulletin board for the beneiit of the entire student body. h PRACTICAL PEOPLE Applied education for girls in a very practical sense is the cardinal prine ciple of the newest organization on the Hill, the Crafts Club. Brilliant greens and yellows combine to make a flower pattern that is repeated on the block print that an enthusiastic Crafts Club member designs under the supery Vision of Miss Jane Guseman, faculty advisor of the group. Another girl earnestly and painstakingly carves a leaf design for the border of a lacquered wooden plate. Others learn the intricate arts of linoleum block cutting and of tapestry design. The club organized this spring at the suggestion of the girls in the home economics department, but membership was extended to all girls ine terested in this type of work. Despite its very recent formation, Crafts Club has already developed into a well-organized body of girls With Brunhilde Schumann as their presi- dent. With a beginning so successful, Crafts Club promises to be a popular and helpful organization. a CRAFTS CLUB Page 119 WOMANiS COUNCIL Because we are such firm believers in student government, such organizations as the Womenis Council exist, Mrs. S. D. Heidbrink acts as chairman of this group, which is composed of representatives and housemothers from t each Womenis resi- dence hall and sorority house. The Council is not a disciplinary, but a policyemaking group, Into its scope fall such details as regulation of hours, Visitors in womenis residences, and weekend and late permissions. With the improvement and welfare of the University women as its primary purpose, the Council makes recommendations 'for the approval of the administration. Page 120 HONOR COUNCIL It is fitting and logical that a university with the ideals, the traditions, and the background Which Valparaiso possesses should be a proponent of the Honor Sys- tem. Those Who guide the University are firm believers in student government; there- fore the request for the Honor System having originated with the students, its administration has become theirs. To acquaint the students With the privileges and the accompanying duties of the Honor System and to handle cases in Which there has been a question of Violation, are the important duties of the Council members. THE DEACONESSES They said, HWelcomeI and we walked in. There were ten girls who greeted us with sincerity and kindness. These were the Deaconess students of Valparaiso. Two years ago the former Gamma Phi house became the home for six inspired girls. Today ten comprise the group, each combining Christian living With her academic work at the University. The students have a complete sched- ule of University classes as well as their individual instructions in modern Chris- tendom and the study of the Bible. These private classes are under the direction of the Rev. A. R. Krentz. Muriel James and Nettye Kimberly underwent the ceremonies of consecra- tion in February. These two students were the first to leave the campus who completed the entire Deaconess course at Valparaiso. A feeling of warmth engulfs the house at 605 Chicago Street, for there is where a family of ten girls, guided by Godis Will, is living to serve our Lord through mankind. Page 121 ALPHA PSI OMEGA . VETERAN WEARERS of the sock and buskin are the members of Alpha Psi Omega. More than just giving recognition for past contributions to University dramatics, this organization stimulates and perpetuates an active interest in all dramatic work. To the siX active student members who have comprised it this year, this means Saturday trips to Chicago theaters, entertaining Cornelia Otis Skinner, reading plays, browsing through theatrical magazines in the library. It means initiations that demand an acquaintance with drama and dramatic techniques. It means helping to find new talent for the dramatic department. And it means informal luncheons and the stimulating discussions that accom- pany them, iiHave you read the critics on The Joyous Seasoan uCornellis doing a new playfi 'iO'Neill has done some wonderful stuff that its impossible to get hands 0n.H HHas anything really great been written recently? This yearis members of the Beta Iota Cast of Alpha Psi Omega have been outstanding in dramatic work at Valpo for several years. They have acted in a number of University plays and helped in their production. Under the spon- sorship of Dr. Vera T. Hahn, faculty member, the organization elects new members who have filled specific qualincations. Active members this year were Ruth Ellen Haertel, Hildegarde Herfurth, Carlene Heidbrink, Lou Bartelt, Barbara Polack, and Elinor Muntzinger. Page 122 HGNQRARi PI GAMMA MU hATOMICh has many connotations to members of Pi Gamma Mu. The dis- cussion of any topic invariably hinges upon its signiflance in an hatomic age. UAtomich is the atmosphere during discussions of controversial issues. Then, too, atomic is descriptive of the internatignal alertness Which the organiza- tion seeks to promote. Several distinctions belong to Valpo's Indiana Epsilon chapter of the national social science honor society. Pi Gamma Mu is the oldest national Greek organization of Which Valpo is a member. It takes in members from both faculty and student body. It sets a membership hurdle of at least a hB't average in all academic work, including twenty hours of social sciences. Led by Dr. Walter E. Bauer, the faculty president, and Miss Virginia Paul, the student vice president, the members gathered monthly at the homes of various professors. Interest in contemporary events and problems led to the choice of hThe Emerging Pattern of Peace as this yearts topic. Reports and discussions were based on various phases of peace such as the United Nations Organization and the influence of specific nations on world security. Student-faculty fellowship flourishes in the resultant informality after the coffee is poured, and profs and students alike succumb to a favorite pastime ebull-sessioning. To its members, PGM is a stellar factor in the acquisition of a liberal education, Page 123 nStudent Council Office, Bartelt speaking? HSTUDENT COUNCIL OFFICE.

Sports fans saw uthe worldts tallest basketball team in Paramount news-reels around the world. Thousands of GIts read about the cagers from a small Indiana. school on the front page of the STARS AND STRIPES in Germany, France, and Tokyo. U. S. fans saw the Ellistcoached quintet perform in gymnasiums from Kansas City to New Hampshire. The opposition was represented by the republic of Puerto Rico and 14 states of the union including California, Wyoming, Utah, Texas, Iowa, Mis- souri, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Page 130 New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and of course Indiapa. Nov. 24, 1945 saw the Valpomen start out on a 28 game schedule that was to be played Within the next 106 days. By March 9, 1946, Coach Ellis and his amazing Crusaders had travelled 8,800 miles through nine states. They had played before 99,000 basketball fans. They had met the toughest teams in the country. They played brilliant ball. They played average ball. They scored 90 points in one game. They counted 32 in another, They were plagued by influenza, weakened by injuries, even stricken by carbon monoxide gas. Despite these handicaps, a tiring schedule that involved many long trips, and playing the strongest teams on their home Hoors, the 194546 Valpo Crusaders turned in another successful season.

I. U. again. This was Valpds second appearance in Madison Square Garden, but it was not so successful as the flrst. Page 131 ALVIN SCHMIDT MILTON SCHOON ROBERT DILLE GLEN GIERKE The 1945-46 Crusaders picked up Where they left off the previous season When they Won the opener from Concordia Seminary by registering their eleventh straight Win. The flu epidemic necessitated a trip to New York's Madison Square Garden after the Crusaders had piizycd but one game. An influenzaeweakened Valpo five took the Garden floor against a smooth working Long Island outiit. The result: Valpo loses Iirst game in 12 starts. Dille goes scoreless for first time in three years. Crusa- ders absorb worst beating in two seasons. Back home again in Indiana John Janisch was called on to make three points in eight seconds against Drake, thus giving the Ellismen an exciting overt1rne Victory. With giant Milt Schoon on the sidelines With an injured ankle, the Crusaders journeyed to Bowling Green and lost a close one after being gassed on the way by carbon monoxide fumes from a faulty bus heater. During the Christmas holidays the VU cagers looked like a championship club as they took two impressive games in Kansas City from Peoperdine of Los Angeles and West Texas State. In Buffalds Memorial auditorn ium a, brilliant Wyoming: iive worked hard before they annexed a 48e40 win from the Brown and Gold. Early in January Valparaiso played host to a Puerto Rico team that had travelled 3000 miles to upset the Crusaders 54e51. Six days later the locals evened the count With the invaders by taking a 62e50 tilt. Brigham Young stopped in Value on the way back to Utah to absorb a 72h58 heating from the unpre- dictable Ellismen. An evetage Hamline outfit completely surprised Coach Ellis and his boys as the Pipers took a . loW-scoring affair, 34-32. A few nights later Bob Diile counted 24 points against Indiana State as the Brown and Gold bounced back With a 52a51 verdict. Highly touted Western Michigan and Bowling Green teams handed impressive losses to the Crusaders as the Valpo percentage dropped below the .500 mark for the fltst time in four seasons. Who can hold Valpo down? 1x1 A? Late in January the Valpomen broke into conference competition as they took league games from Butler and Central to pace the Indiana conference, With the beginning of the winter semester and the return of two outstanding preewar Crusaders and a few other eXeGIis, the Valpo basketball stock went up. A week's trip to the east With games against three of the toughest aggregations in that part of the country looked like a very hazardous undertaking. In Hanover, New Hampshire, the Dartmouth Indians were a little too much for a new and improved Valpo squad; the easterners won, 56e51. The huge arena at Boston set the stage for the out- standing Valpo win of the season. Three records fell before the devastating Crusader scoring machine as Holy Cross lost 73e62. The Muhlenberg Mules evidently hadnit heard of the Boston affair, for they stopped the surging Crusaders 61w55. Back on the Vaipo campus after favorably impressing eastern cage fans the Valpo basketballers paraded their wares before 2000 home spectators by drowning Butler 85e-49. Two days later the locals got back at the Hamd line Pipers as they came out on the long end of a 51+48 count. Concordia and Central Normal fell in easy Victories. Indiana State then invaded the local gym for the big home game of the campaign. The conference title was at stake. Schoon and Dille led the way as the Crusaders came back strong in the last half to Win 47e41 and thus bring a second conference title to the Valpo cam- pus, the gridiron Crusaders having taken the football crown. Playing their final two games on the same night, the Valpomen altered their attack by fast-breaking to 77- 38 and 90-44 verdicts. In winning 17 of 28 games the tireless Crusaders counted 1566 points for a 55.9 average. John Janisch kept up the Valpo tradition of placing a Crusader in one of the top spots in the Indiana Scoring race by pouring 346 markers through the hoops to merit third place in the final standings. Dille was not far behind With 325.

It is also a rehearsal of a hardaworking orchestra under the joint conduction of Professor M. Alfred Bichsel and Dr. Theodore HoeltyeNickel. As its contribution to the culture of the campus, the University Orchestra has presented concerts, accompanied the choir, and played for convocations and special programs or matins. It has also brought guest artists to the University. Composed of both student and faculty members, Who have shown talent and cooperation, the orch- estra has made it possible for music lovers on campus to enjoy music eboth classical and 1ight-direct1y presented. WOMENS CHOIR A new era has dawned for the Woments Choir. Under the skillful baton of Dr. HoeltyeNickel, it has taken a new and welleearned place in Valpots musical activities. It has sung in chapel, in church, in the Christmas concert. That it had potentialities was evident at the beginning of the year. And Dr. Hoeltwaickel took time out at quarter to five every evening to develop those potentialities. The persistence and work were successful. The Woments Choir was soon recognized ,as an important part of the music department. Its chorales and anthems thrill us in Sunday morning services. It is an admixture of we11--b1ended voices and the superior musicianship that characterizes Valpo choirs. Page 143 UNIVERSITY CHOIR A MIGHTY FORTRESS Is OUR GODt . . . We heard eighty full young voices break into the music of Martin Luther's mightiest hymn, and we realized completely the underlying spirit of the University Choir. In no other organization on the campus is the indomitable spirit of Christianity so fervently expressed. We watched that spirit weave through every rehearsal and every appearance of the Choir. It reiiected the character of its direc- tor, Mr. Richard Schoenbohm and its individual members. We felt it in the lexultant music of Handelts Messiah, which climaxed the Christmas Concert. We were made conscious of its force when we heard rehearsals of NA Mighty Fortress end the music of Bachts hPassion According to St. Matthewft which the Choir presented in the Iniversity of Chicagots Rockefeller Memorial Chapel in commemoration of Lutherts death. We were thrilled by this underlying spirit as we listened to uThe Redeemer,H a modern Easter oratorio sung in the Spring Concert. But the spirit was evident not only in the major performances. It was a great part of the music the Choir gave us in Chapel ser' vices, Lenten services, and University Hour breadcasts. It was recorded into transcriptions which were to be used for the Lutheran Hour. This year the spirit of Christianity burst into newly Vigorous song. Page 144 iiA mighty fortress is our God, A trusty shield and weapon; He helps us free from every need That hath us now oiertaken. The old evil foe Now means deadly woe: Deep guile and great might Are his dread arms in fight, On earth is not his equalf' Page 145 w A PLAY is the most premeditated thing in the world. Funny that so many audiences think that worrying about it begins iive minutes before curtain time. It begins With the job of picking a play. Shall it be Kind Lady or Penny Wise? And the Uni- versity Players chose Kind Lady. Next Dr. Hahn, director, casts the play. Then follow weeks of stren- uous rehearsal, during Which the public eventually becomes conscious of the fact that it Will be seeing a play. CURTAIN TIME! But there have been other people at work for a long timeethe publicity committee, writing furiously, making posters, chalking reminders on black boards, contracting printers, contacting people; the constructionrcommittee, building sets, filling the Opera House With the smell of paint, setting up the flats, working till the A. M.; the wardrobe commitee, soliciting from dorms and houses, sewing Without patterns, or writing to costumers as they did for the Eager Heart costumes; the properties committee, scavengering the town, lugging furniture, digging up Van Goghs.

Page 147 Page 148 SO AND HER Unchallenged arranger of dates and appointments, charming first lady of Valpo, and as pretty a woman as ever stepped out of a bandbox is So Heidbrink. We like her Greer Garson-like ease and warmth, her soft-spoken graciousness. In a hurry-scurry year when being Social Director of Valparaiso was a bigger job than ever before, the versatile lVIrs. Heidbrink added another title and a terrific responsibility: she became Secretary to the President. She became also very busy and of necessity almost ubiquitous. But she was a veteran at planning parties and could polish 0H last minute details with ease. So there was time enough to make appointments for the President and keep his files. We seldom walk by her oliice without popping our head in to say hello. We like her smile. We like the way she tilts her head. And what is very important, we like her parties. rr. w SOCIAL COMMITTEE Neatly filling in the hnothing doing nights on the campus calendar, the 194546 social commit- tee, under the guidance of social director So Heidbrink, engineered a pleaseeall variety of activ- ities that provided pleasure throughout the year. Freshmen and seniors, alike walked in the fall moonlight ahd feasted around open country Iires; they satvtensely through Jane Eyre, attentiyely Wetched Red Wagon, laughed With Claudia; they hiked to the gym for chess and gin tummy one night, and strolled more slowly, cautiously guarding net and satin skirts, another; they formally met the faculty and helped to entertain the board; they barn-danced in the streets, watched side shows at a campus fair, and climaxed summer Sunday swims With a greater than ever Dunes partyeall this, courtesy of the social committee. Representing every residence on college hill, the committee which was led by chairman Helen Wenholz, made each event that it undertook a living memory. Page 150 WE GO TO PARTIES. Sometimes they are barn dances or moonlight hikes and Wienie roasts . . . sometimes star-studded formal receptions or silveryeblue sorority Christmas parties. We like the informality of frat house parties and the cameraderie of Dunes shindigs . . . the spaghetti suppers and theater parties . . . and the carnivals and street fairs that have invaded the social calendar. JON WHITCOMB, disczjble of American Beauty. . . WE USED TO DREAM about looking like his girls . . . smeared dimestore makeup all over our adolescent faces, even tried to tilt our noses. We read the magazine stories With his illustrations before all the others. We covered our bedroom walls with his drawings and With pictures of him With a pipe. Our bobby-socked feet marked time with his conception of typical American beauty. We grew up, but we retained that conception of beauty. It is a conglomer- ate beauty, and the standards are high. It catches the warmth of a summer tan . . the pleasant casualness of soft brown hair tossed in November Winds . . . the Vibrant, vivacious touch that tints the complexions of sleighriders on a winter night . . . the delicate silveryblue of spring stardust that fills the eyes, the smile, the dimple. It is the sort of beauty that tells you about its wearer . . shes the kind of girl you like to know , . . fun to talk to, and interesting . . . soft-spoken, but not quiet . . . Willing to take a dare, just a little independent . . . fun-loving, at a baseball game or a formal party . . . grown-up, but not too much so to eat ice cream cones and wear a ribbon in her hair . . . liked by girls as well as men. She lives in New York, or Memphis . . . or Valparaiso. She may be many of us, but she is especially well represented by one. And that one has been chosen by this author of the unaffected beauty of the HBack Home for Keeps girl, Jon Whitcomb has personified his judgment of beauty in the person of Miss Ruthe Hoifmeister.

Weather has a very incon- venient way of interfering With the schedules, but the teams tried hard to complete and play a full sched- ule by the end of the semester. At the head of the softball tournament WOMEN! TUMBLING Flip! Vaultl-These seldom- heard words are indicative of a new interest in tumbling. Those women interested in grace and agile ity especially have lent their efforts toward making the tumbling club a success. The club promises to have a bigger and better future next year. At the head of the tumbling activities is Ruth Sauer. was Ruth Born. BADMINTON SmashP-Itls when one sees a game of mutual smashing of the birdie over the net many times that one realizes that badminton is not the slow, easy game that many people believe it is. In the recently ended doubles tournament Terry Lagler and Dorothy Plinke oute smashed and out-ran all other par- ticipants to take lirst place in a tournament crammed full of speed and skill. Council-member Doro- thy Plinke headed the tournament. Page 156 W. A. A. COUNCIL New in the administration of the rapidly growing W. A. A, the Council has proved to be a very vital organ in the organization, making general decisiOns in the name of the total membership. The members of the group are not only the people in Whose hands the W. A. A. has placed executive powers but also to Whom it looks for guidance in the principles of the organization. BOWLING StrikeleEvery Saturday after- noon at Inmanls fifty V. U. coeds tried to strike at least a few times during the past bowling season. The tournament was close all of the way, with what is almost be coming a habite-the Alpha-Gam- ma last game feud for the title, This year the Gammas took the cup by a margin of 78 pins. Couna cilemembers Nathalie Tank and Milda Naumann were in charge of the tournament. ATHLETICS ARCHERY Zing! W'bizzL-Itk a bullseye! --sometirnes. Archery is again be coming one of the favorite sports in the W. A. A. The special club formed for those interested in the activity is not attempting to make William Tells of its members, but is to help them improve their skill somewhat and to have fun. Coun- cilemember Betty Droege is in charge of the club and its work. VOLLEYBALL Spike itleln an exciting, spike- iilled tournament this year the teams with the strongest first-row spiker and second row pickere uppers were the ones playing to the last. The Independent team, the Atoms, won the title, with the AI- phas, Delts, and Gammas tied for second place. Council-member Mar- ion Rinne had charge of the tour- nament. HORSEBACK RIDING WhoafeSome horses can be awfully stubborn but V. U. coeds can be too. Despite day'afterethc- ride effects, some of the women have been very anxious to try their prowess and ability in handling a horse at a local stable. The club which has been formed for those interested in the equestrian art is headed by Councilemember Lois Kipp. BASKETBALL Foul! Free shot, balls in play. . . . frequently heard words in girls' basketball too. This years tourna- ment was characterized by a pee culiarly even distribution of skill and speed. This fact was borne out by the four-way tie for first place only two weeks before the end of the tournament. The last-week battles were quite interesting. In charge of the tournament and basketball in general was Evelyn Brauer. Page 157 INTRAM URALS Page 15 8 During the fall and Winter semesters of 515346, intramural sports played an important role in the schedule of menls activities. As the leaves started turning shades of brown and gold, Don Warnkels intramurals got under way With the interfraternity football league. Sparked by several independent teams from fresh- men houses, the competition proved to be very keen. But after the dust of battle had settled, the Phi Psils emerged with an undefeated season to capture the foot- ball trophy. After the return of the students from their Christmas vacation, the basket- ball season started in full swing. A sixeteam league was formed between the live fraternities and one independent team. The Phi Psils swept through the lirst round undefeated, and the KIPs came back to capture the second round. After a thrilling playoff between the Phi Psils and the KlPs, the Phi Psils were Victorious by one point, to claim the championship. As an added feature Asst. Coach Warnke chose an allwstar team from the league to play the Junior Varsity in a post-season tilt. The all-stars put up a good light but lost by a threewpoint margin. During the spring, intramurals took on a new picture, With bowling, volleyball, and softball taking over. All in all it was a very successful season With much interest being shown in all the intramural sports. This is educationothis being a senior. You talk about dialectics in the VwShoppe With a couple of nationally known profs. You devote two Tuesday night hours to the Presidentos Christianity and Modern Problems. You say ybzw to the Dean and make cracks in your blue books. If youore smart enough, you can cut classes; if youore good enough, you can stay out late. But you still have to get your six term papers in on time. Seniars. ..

Page 168 GOWN AND GA VEL HTO encourage leadership in the intellectual, cultural, social, and spiritual program of the University is the alleencircling, eternal obd'ective of Gown and Gavel. The society is, by nature of its name, composed of scholastic and extra-curricular leaders among the senior women. The organization occupies a quiet corner of university life, rising to the limelight once a year in a special chapel program when junior women, meeting the requirements, are tapped for membership the next fall. With this exception, its infiuence is exerted in subtle, unobtrusive ways. This year Gown and Gavel adopted the tutor system as one means for fulfilling its objectives 0n the campus. Members of the society and other upperclass scholars were as- signed to offer tutoring classes in their major fields to students who were having difiiculty in any subject. Service to the school and to fellow students was manifested in that it raised the general scholastic level on the entire campus and allowed a number of deserving stu- dents to receive more from their curriculum. Gown and Gavel's objective is to join Mortar Board, national honor fraternity for col- lege women. If this union is accomplished, all present and past members will be received into the national fraternity. An organization such as Gown and Gavel Will always have a place on any college campus, but it rose to its highest signiiicance when women students were given an oppor- tunity to reveal their potential and actual leadership abilities during the war period. Members are Loraine Bruening, Doris Becker, Norma Bunke, Ruth Ellen Haertel, Car- lene Heidbrink. and Hildegarde Herfurth, Page 169 LOUIS BARTELT M IRIAM BROWN J OHN DAVIE MARTHA DIVINE J OHN DIAMOND HERBERT FRITZ FREDERICK FROELICH LOUIS KOLDEWEY FRANCES SMITH GEORGE TAKAOKA RICHARD WASIKOWSKI SCHOOL OF LA W Page 170 Classes meeting on second floor, ArtseLaw, private domain of our lawyers, broke all records for smallness in the past few years.

' Sigma Delta Kappa After two and a half years Of inactivity, Sigma Delta Kappa, the only national fraternity 0n the Hill, was reorganized by seven returning members this Feb- ruary of its 30th Anniversary year. Membership to SiDeKa is restrictei to pre- legal and law students. The lawyers hope to secure a house by next year for their other returning members. The Zeta chapter was formed on the Hi1l in 1916 in order hto broaden the held of legal knowledge; to preserve and improve the standards of the legal profession; to foster friendship and comradeship among the members of this organization; and to promote their moral, intellectual and professional welle being and the welfare of the law school. Alumni of Zeta are prominent in legal circles throughout the country. Page 171 A year ends. . . M emarz'es begin. Page 172 Advertisements and Student Directory Page 173 Tatmm MR.
