This book is yours Frgm the First capital letter to the last period . . . this is you. Through years that come and go, Brighter the flame shall glow, The flame of love for you Dear old VALPO Old Campus This is the campus that we know and love so well, that has been our home away From home. It has grown and changed and mellowed with age, and somehow it doesn't seem diHerent at all. The buildings are essen- tially the some as they have always been, inside there have been some changes and improvements, but the same ivy is still clinging to the walls and the same cracks cue on the sidewalks and steps. South campus is still our pastoral relief in spring and Student Bridge still quivers when a roaring Pennsy thunders under it. There are new shrubs and trees, and anytime we expected to see Cl sign reading uForest PreserveSe-no hunting.H The Hole has become our favorite pastime, and we are still altergic to Volpo rain. New Campus This is the new campus. And the lew buildings that now cover Cl small portion of it are the nucleus of New Valparaiso University. It is a beginning of a mighty undertaking by men and women of Faith and patience and vision. In early spring most of the terrain is under water and Guild and Memorial dormees privately call themselves the mud pack. Late spring improves condi- tions and the Fields are good spots to acquire a sun tan. We want something of the old campusto beretained- the new one when the time comes-the traditions and unforgettable things that make up Volpo. We would like to hear the some bell call students to classes there and we would like to have Student Bridge tronslerredi even if it is only over c1 gully. The seats in the auditor- ium we don't want to see or Feel here. The new campus is a challenge which we shall meet with success. 11 12 KEEPERS OF THE FLAME These are the keepers of the Flame . . . the spirit 0F Volpo personified . . . we look to them For guidance and respect their judgment . . .

Many of its members come to Commencement Day over the most devious roadSeloxholes in Europe, islands in the Pacific, planes and shipsewhich ever led to an academic degree. Their lite on our campus reaches back into all the years From 1941 to 1945. They are the most unusual group ever to be graduated From Valpo. Mature and thoughtful, they made signiFicant contributions to the progress of the University. Their lives will now be lived against the dark curtain of the second hall of our century. It is possible that they will see even greater drama on the stage of history. We who remain wish them well with all our heart. We hope that they will live wisely and Faithfully in a worlcl in which wisdom and faith are more necessary than ever before. Above all, we hope that they will live and work in the sight and mercy of God. The distinctiveness of their education has been that God, his ways and works with men, has been held up before them during the decade in which they were trained at Valpo. lF they remain close to Him, our last and highest hope For them will be realized. O.P.K. 14 PRESIDENT O, P. KRETZMANN, Able Keeper of the Flame Through the polished wooden doors of the Music Hall, up a short Flight of worn steps, a turn to the left, through another door, then you are in the oHice oi the president. The room is warm and Friendly from the drapes on the windows to the books on the shelves. Attention is First Focused to the portrait oi Christ hanging on the west wall and then to the man sitting beneath the portrait at a large, dark deskeDr. O. P. Kretzmonn. We see him more Frequently though in chapel or in walking to cmdt rom Music Hail, and we Fomiliariy refer to him as HO. P. He is our friend, counselor, and leader a man who has guided the university and the student body through the difficult war years and now in the post- -war period where the challenge of growth has been met with success. We remember his convocation addresses at the opening of each new semester, and we remember his stirring and inspiring Lenten sermons on the passion and love of Christ. But we also know of another side of our president, We remember his wit and humor cut the dedication ot the Hoie-his initials are among the many carved on the tables, and we remember his easy smiie and Friendly manner at receptions and informal parties. The proud papa of two growing sons, President Kretzmonn is our ideal of a college president. 15 ,. XE. 'g WALTER G. BAUER, Dean of Arts and Sciences Dean Baueris oHice is always occupied by members of the university family. Faculty members come there on busi- ness, and at times they drop in For a Friendly chat. Before every vocation there is a long line of students waiting there with petitions for c: Few hours extra time to catch a iruin,ior several day's time to travel to California or almost any point north south, east or west, or For whatever pops into the student's head when he anticipates going home. There is a great need For a sense of humor like the Deonis; the excuses a college student can think of for not being oh campus range from Grandma's confirmaiion to the wedding of sister Jane's best Friend. The students who have counseled with Dr. Bauer have Found him understanding and sympathetic, and always ready to help make college life happier and more successful. 16 Henry W.

Behind the auditorium in 01 gray stone . aw building, the Biology Department makes its headquarters. Starting his study with the Elodeq leaf or the movements of the Amoeba, in this department a student, it he chooses, may advance to the analyzer- tion of the pneumonia virus. History United States, ancient, medieval, what- ever the time or the place the history de- partment has a course to cover the subject. Students seeking knowledge mingle with students who want social science credits and study the past to understand the pre- sent more fully. Frank R. Elliott Victor Hoffmann, Edward Greninger, Daniel thI. D. William Bloom, Robert Kuster, Carl Krekeler. John Strietelmeier, Milfred Eggerding, Erwin Buls. Geog raphy Free trips to the dunes are oHerecl each semester by this department, but guaran- teed with each trip is a rcniny day. Mops go'ore and colored pencils to excite the envy of any First grader ore Found in the lab sections. You can tell a geography major by his extensive vocabulary of terms For things which are merely grass, rocks, and trees to the layman. Chemistry The chemistry deportmentis probablythe easiest to Find on the campus because odors of all types drift out of the doors and windows. There is never a dull moment; lab books contain warnings about explosive materials and test tubes break at the crucial point in one experiment or another. The proving ground For pre-meds is here.

Future teachers work out practice teaching plans and discover how to handle the little de- mons who manage to get in every class and how to make their students as intelligent as possible. Each one anticipates giving out the grades instead of getting them. Rudolph Waldschmidt, Oliver Graebner; G. Carl Lindberg, Head of Education and Psychology Dept. Warren Phillips, Dana Schwanholk, Filip Vikner. 21 Foreign Language The United Nations with its numerous foreign languages has nothing on Val- paraiso as countless students struggle through verb endings of French, Spanish, I German, and even Russian undera capable I stahc of linguistic instructors. l Walther M.

Foreign Language: Thora Moulton, Ruth Reed, Hazel Guillaumant. Religion Religion from its historical aspects to its psychological aspects is studied in this de- partment and students gain a more com- plete knowiedgenotoniyoitheirchurchand doctrines but also of those oi others faiths. Through ihese classes, religion becomes even more a port of their daily lives. Elizabeth Thorne, Lavina Franck. ngc Our department of music is located in the red brick building known as HTvtusic Hulln, the uAd Buildingn and a Few other incidental names. It is easily distinguished From other buildings on campus by the sounds which emanate from it at all hours of the day and nightisome sounds being called music and others noise . 24 Home Econonhcs Smells emanating From the little white cottage attesting to the ability, or inability, of the cook, the busy whir at the sewing lob . . . sopranos, harmony assignments, French horns . . . competition From music hall . . . color wheels, pattern and design, home Furnishing . . . ample material offered here For Future designers . . . interior decorators . . . home- makers.

From algebra to Special Problems in Mathematics the student First is assured that two times two is Four and then is convinced that maybe two times two isn't four. Hours are spent in labs by the physics students in their studies oi light, electricity, magnetism and any other generoil technical, or modern physics. Ancii R. Thomas, Head of Mathematics Dept. Jessie E. Swanson, Arieen Peking, Claude O. Pauiey Kermit Carlson, Verner J. Rqelson, Lentz Ci DeVol, Elise R. Fisher. 3.. e Sociology Man in society is studied in this de- partment, and before a semester of gen- eral sociology is completed, students can discuss anything from preehistoric man to the Malthusian theoryt Each semester, this department aids the new Freshmen in adjusting to college iiFe. Frederick K. Kruger, Instructor in Sociology Dept. Ari Charcoais and pastels and paints depict every aspect of the campus in the art iab. An old pair of shoes or a fellow student may be the subject of a picture, and rough sketches soon materialize into completed drawings. These students are the First to utilize South Campus when warm weather comes; acquiring a sun tan seems to be a requirement for the course. Philosophy Breaking away From the sociology department this year, the department of philosophy went on its merry way and tried to confuse students as best it could. Between Dr. Hoentzschel's HethicsH and Dr. Peiikun's HPlato , the students found plenty of food forthought and many of them became ardent followers of philosophic trends. Physical Education Intercollegiate sportsi menis and women's intromurois, advanced theory courses, and required courses are oil phases of the Physical Education Department. First aid, safety, Folk dancing, and leather work are as much a part of the department as basketball, Football, and baseball. 26 Counselors CATHERINE RODEWALD Director of Altrurio HaIL Counselors and dormitory directors play on important part in making the campus as much like the students own home as pos- sible. They may be consulted on almost any question and their job includes tutoring in anything From chemistry to economics, advising on infotuotions in true Dorothy Dix style, and being confidant, confessor, and friend. Much credit should be given to these student counselors who devote their time and eHorts to counseling new students and making their college life happier and more successful. 27 Joseph LoRocca, Norma Lortz, Beriha Blum, Catherine Rodewuld. Libra ry YouWI find this ordinarily quiet building in a mild up- roctr come the last weeks before term papers and book reports -on array of nolecqrds, source books, and waiting lines not to be surpassed-until the next time 28 Vera Bushing, Carl Sachtleben, Katherine Bowden, Edwin Johnson. Infirmary Supplying pills Forevery occasion the infirmory is always ready to serve the scores 0F students who daily Hock into its portals For medical treatment of all types. Its staff is a vital port of the oftentimes over- looked machinery that keeps Valpo running. Depa rtmenf of Public Relations Herbert W. Knopp, Coordinator of Public Relations. Mr. Knopp, assisted by Rev. Paul Bussert, Rev. Karl H. Henrichs, Rev. Martin J. Mueller, and Rev. Poul Schultz, succeeds in giving the much interested Volpo public a general picture of campus life and spirit. Prospective students and supporters of the university rely on him for an accurate accounting of what Valpo is doing and pamphlets and letters go out daily From his office. This oHice has grown more and more important as the new campus plans were Formulated and preparations made For 0 larger student body. Miss Lois Sohn, Publicity Secretary, has also played a part in keeping the public informed through pictures of the campus and prints of student activities. Public relations plays one of the most important parts in Valpo's growing accomplishments. Extracurricular Not only the individuals listed on the faculty and administration play on important role in the education 0F Volpo students and the extension of Volpo publicity throughout the coutnry. Guest speakers, Field trips, and university brood- casts are vital ports of a well rounded university. Guest speakers otten appear on campus, and through their coverage of many subjects, the student gains a Fuller con- cept 0F the world beyond campus and the part he may play in it. Chapel speakers include prominent theologians From many parts of the country. Various organizations bring outstanding persons in many professions here to discuss their Fields. 30 Field tripstaken in conjunction with classes or sponsored by clubs also extend opportunities For a wider and more diversified knowledge. Practical applications of the theories oi engineering and chemistry ore Found in such places as the steel mills and manufacturing plants of this area. The dunes and Starved Rock are among the many places geology and biology enthusiasts may see the natural phenomena they have studied. Music cmd dramatic students travel to Chicago and other cultural centers to see prominent artists and groups perform, and many individuals take personal Field trips to Find themselves Fields of interest and possible occupation. Another important proiect is the Valparaiso Uni- versity Hour which is sponsored by the independents organization. This half hour radio program is broadcast every Sunday over WIMS. Every week, talent From the university Further publicizes the school and gives demonstration oi the many types of education available at tipo. The daily chapel service is also broadcast Monday through Thursday to bring the oii-importont message OF the Gospel to homes throughout the area. All these activities are part of growing Valpo. 31 32 KINDLING Familiar faces hurrying to the Cafeteria at noon . . . voices joining in 01 lusty yell at basketball games or singing at University Hymn . . . weekend dates to a show at the Bucket . . .

We are the graduating seniors with the never to be Forgotten memories of four eventful years at tipo. We remember the First rainy registration daycmd the green cards and more green cards. We were frosh, wearing pots on our heads and puzzied expressions on our iaceseeverything was new to us, but we learned quickly. Being c: sophomore was synonymous with wearing red, and we saw it, too, when it rained hell night. We were juniors, dividing our time between Jimis and the new chf. And then we were seniorSeseniors proudly wearing cream cords, smiiing For our last Beacon picture, and wistfuiiy realizing that we were doing mcmy things for the lost time. We are like the 49ers of a century ago, pressing onward for the rich ore of wis- dom and happiness. We are the class of ,49. 34 Seniors EDWIN A.

Behind us were happy memories of pledging and parties and Sundays at the dunes. By now we had learned to take finals and term papers in our stride. Mortarboards and diplomas were too far away to rob us of our light-heqrted attitude. Against the rich background of Valpo traditions we were Free to enjoy ourselves. We elected our class oFFicers: Art Gray, President; Dave Brandt, Vice-President; Laurel quzel, Secretory,- WiH Reimer, Treasurer. We sponsored several all campus events. The first of these was GREAT EXPECTATIONS, a movie based on the novel by Charles Dickens. And who could forget the Junior's skit in the Follies ? Somehdw the most bitter trials of living in c: dormitory and eating at the Cat seemed humorous on the stage. We remember, too, the gay time we had at the Junior party, and the sobering eHect of the Junior-Senior Banquet, when we suddenly realized that June had come.

Our wardrobes were all red, our commands were all practiced, and we were all set to play the role of huzers, but the period of revelry was cut short. No question about who won the tug at war, tor, of course, we did. With Marty Huebner as president and Betty Zumbehl, Ed Peper, and Ken Herrmonn holding the other oFFices we had a good year. We had a couple of parties,efrolics For the class, and we helped serve at the Junior-Senior banquet. Anyone could have identified the scene of our Follies presentation. What a display of talent. It didn? take long for June to sneak up on us bringing the end of another semester, but with it came the knowledge that we could tell the Folks back home that we were juniors now. 66 Sophomores Row 4: Harold Baumann, Ted Graebner, Walter Buuck, Donald Becker: Robert Boknecht, David Bosse, Floyd Brown, Jr. Row 3: Dick Bruss, William Dallmun, Herbert Auerbach, George Argus, Dick Boeck, Robert Duerr.

Transfer Somewhere EIse?--No Thanks 73 Freshmen Our college days had arrived at last, but we sure had 0 lot to learn. No one told us that one week could include so mcmy tests, lectures, meetings, tours, and hours 0F getting acquainted. We weren't sure we liked it. We eiected Ectri Koepke, Jack Henry, Elaine Neuchteriein 0nd .. . . .. as our oHicers. Our green pots didn't stay on our heads the usual length of time, but we built the biggest bonfire ever and won the tug of war even though the rope did break. We hurried home For vocation, and, wonder 0F wonders, we missed the place right down to the leaky faucet in the dorm. Then came term papers at Valpo which we did not like, and Advent of Volpo which we did like. Daily chapei had become a vital part of our lives, we knew the traditions of student bridge, and even Ronnie was Familiar with us by now. Rushing, pledging, 0nd Finals soon passed, and we were practically sophomores. 74 Something New Has Been Added on Campus4-Us Row 4: Jim Bollhauve, Gordon Grimm, Don Borchelt, Douglas Kepplinger, Wilmer L.

Soon the squad become toughened and ready for the year's gridiron tasks, Then, both team and students looked Forward with hopeful expectations toward the nine-game season. A glance over the varsityis season shows that the Crusaders of '48 Finished with a much better record than that of the two preceeding years. In 1946 Voipo won, one game; in 1947, two games were inserted into the won .column; while four hard won and Five tough losses are shown on the Final tally of 348's bottles. Scrappy reserve strength was Cl great asset to the Brown and Gold during the season.

During the Crusaders home stand the local fans had an opportunity to view six All American selections in action against the Brown and Gold. The season's record 0F eight wins and seven- teen setbacks is not a sensational one,butCoqch Wornke and his charges deserve much credit For the line team play, teom spirit, and good sportsmanship that was por- trayed throughout the entire season. With seven of eleven lettermen returning this season, Couch Wornke had to work hard to Find c1 working combination. Of the seven returning men only three had seen considerable action during the previous season. A fast working club that would afford a scoring punch and at the some time provide a rugged defense was the desired result. Various combinations were tried and at the beginning of the season it seemed as though quite a 98 iew 0F the problems were solved. Later, however, a rough schedule and a lock of reserve strength proved to be the telling factors in a mediocre season. Opening the 148349 seasonl the Crusaders Found themselves on the long end of a 63-40 score against a slightly overrated Chicago Teachers Squad. The Preachers from Concordia Seminary journeyed to Valpo to furnish the Brown and Gold with their second contest. A reci-hot second half gave the locals a 71-52 triumph. The third tilt 0F the season was against the Bulldogs at Beioit. The Warnkemen scored a near upset but lost in the Final minutes 69-60 due to a lack of reserves. The First out-oF-town game found the Wornkemen journeying 600 miles distance to Hamline to absorb a 70-35 defeat. It was just too much Vern Mikkeison for the Crusaders. Returning home, the Crusaders met Wheaten and Found it impossible to repeat last yearis victory. The Final toiiy was 83-73. A much travelled Brigham Young squad invaded the local gym and ekeci out a 62-57 decision over the Warnkemen. A close ball game all the way, it was a tough one to lose. Coming from behind in the next contest, the Crusaders overcome an eight point deficit to even going away against a tough Arkansas State Five. Schroer hit For 96 points, leading both clubs in scoring. The following two contests were played in Ohio against Toledo and Bowling Green. On a Friday night the Rockets skipped by the Crusaders with a 53-50 win. It was a close and exciting contest with the winning points being scored in the last minute of play. The next evening Bowling Green and Charlie Share, 6,11Hcenter made it two consecutive deFeats. The game was not an exciting one, the score being 72-46. During the First Few weeks of the New Year, resolutions were Fulfilled as the Warnkemen scored three consecutive victories. The first, a 57-40 win over a Connecticut Teachers squad, displayed much team play and spirit. Next came Kalamazoo, who succumbed to the Crusaders in a one-sicied tilt 72-42. Metcait hit 31 points to iead the Brown and Gold. St. Joe was their third victim losing a 49-48 thriller. Bill Schroer, the nationis leading Free throw artist, sunk his sixth consecutive Free throw to give the one point margin. Taking to the road again,the Crusaders dropped two, one to Western Michigan and one to Indiana State. The First, an 81-52 reversal, was too much For Don Boven as the Bronchos swept over the Warnkemen. A 56-49 heartbreaking loss was sustained at the Sycomore's gym. The Crusaders blew om eariy lead and lost the game in the Final minutes of play. Denver came to town and walked away with a 40-37 overtime victory. AII-American Boryia proved to be the diFFerence. Then a journey to Beloit and a 64-59 loss after a haIi-time lead of three buckets. Loyola was next and a 63-41 reversal Was absorbed by the Crusaders. The Brown and Gold's hope For a national upset did not materialize. Meeting the Hamline Pipers For the second time, the Crusaders found conditions no better as they Fought to a 60-42 setback. Journeying to Loyola For a second contest, the Ramblers took the Warnkemen into camp. Hitting an astounding 53 7;; OF their shots, the Ramblers amassed 81 points against the 47 scored by Voipo. Western Michigan, Ted Beon night, and a 66-63 victory over the Bronchois completed the Crusader's home schedule. A very exciting game, it was sweet 99 revenge For a previous detect on c1 visitoris Hoot. A journey to St. Louis found the hopiess Crusaders sustaining two more defects. The first, Cl surprising 49-43 loss at the hands of the Preachers and the second ci close 51-47 decision to the Washington Bears. The St. Joe Pumosl on their home court, avenged a previous defeat by the Crusaders by grabbing cm 80-77 win From the Wornkee men in on overtime contest. The Brown and Gold closed the season by traveling to Manchester and defeating the Spartans 68-63. in this game Ted Bean broke All- American Bob Dilleis totoi-point scoring record by two points. Beanis total is 1080. Not previously mentioned were the honors gained by several Crusaders during the season. Bill Schroer Finished 100 the season as the notions leading free throw man with an .875 percentage. Bill's consistency helped quite a bit this season. Bob Metcoli was the teams high score with a 16 point average per game Metcoii was also given Honor- able Mention on the U.P. AlI-Americon team. The students and Faculty, in appreciation 0F 0 Fine athlete, held ospeciol night ForTed Bean and it WCIS indeed one of the highlights of the season. Looking to the Future a Fine Freshman team which lost only one game all season can be seen as being a big Factor in next yearissuccess. With many Iettermen returning from this yeoris squad and a Fine group of Freshman prospects we can be hopeful For a successtui season next year.

Playing in their third season since resuming the sport after the war, the Brown and Gold Faced its roughest schedule during this year. Included on this scheduleweretwo Big Nine schools, who, needless to say, Furnish adequate opposition For any college club. Under the supervision of Coach Don Wornke, the Voipo nine showed Cl great deal of pep and hustle throughout the season and the won and lost record of seven and eight is by no means a clear index of the capabilities of the squad. A short pre-season practice period, Forced by cold and wet weather, was no doubt Felt by the team during the entire season. Despite this fact the team maintained the highest hitting and fielding averages in the history of the school. With a Few well placed breaks the season's record could have been im- proved a great deal. Leading the team at the plate was outfielder Fred Roder, who sported a lusty .405 work lor the Fifteen games of competition. Not lczr behind Rader was Marty Schwarz with u .361 average, Schworz was in turn Followed by Lee Engert with c: .333 percentage. The pitching chores were divided among Dick Scheub, John Nelson, and HRealH Fritz. These men shouldered the majority of the hurling assignments and with only one man graduating, Scheubl two experienced twirlers remain tor the '50 season. Al Bromberg, smooth Fielding First sucker, Finished four years of college competition this year by pounding the apple at a .317 clip. Brombergis overall average for Four years was .277. Marty Schwurz also completed his fourth year of baseball competition and during this span Marty slugged his way to o lusty .324 average, on average of which anyone could rightly be proud. Turning again to the hurling department, Dick Scheub, a Flashy right honder, completed his third and last year of baseball here at Vqlpo. Scheub accrued a seven won and Five lost record during this sojourn. He also holds the strike-out records for the school, chalking up 103 strike- outs in three seasons cmcl witting sixteen in a contest against Illinois Tech in 1946. These men will be sorely missed next year when the cry of uPlay Bolli' sounds Forth at Brown Field. A promising lreshmcm squad was Formed this year and it was observed with a great deal of interest. This squad plus the returning lettermen From this years team promises to bring a successful season to the school next year. With many improvements scheduled for the playing facilities the 1950 season will be one to look Forward to with much anticipation. 103 104 A new year and a new sport . . . bowling. The Mid- west intercollegiate Bowling Conference was Formed with tour schools competing, Loyola, De Paul, Notre Dame, and Valparaiso. This venture was completely new and to the same extent successtul. While not winning the crown in this First year 0F competition, the Brown and Gold Finished in the second spot behind Loyola. A 16-14 record was compiled by the locals during the competition and it was enough to note the place spot. An eight man squacl was formed and it was captained by Rudy Dittrich, veteran bowler at many years'. Bob Raddatz, Jim Albe, Jim Meyerl Werner Stranghoener, Roy Hochspring, Walter Heise and Steve Janto rounded out the squad. The team rolled six matches during the seasons competition. The first at these against De Paul ended in a 3-? split with the Brown and Gold on the long end of the score. Notre Dame was next on the docket and the Crusaders came through with a clean sweep of the Five game match. Loyola was the next toe and while bowling at home on the lnman Recreation alley the locals were able to salvage only two of the Five lines bowled. Journeying to DePaul For the fourth match and at this time resting in second place, one game behind the leading Loyola Ramblers, the Keglers took a 3-2 decision. The leaders also dropped two and the standings remained the same. Notre Dame again and this time things were a little rougher For the Valpoites. Rolling away from home the locals could do no better than salvage two of the Five lines. The last match was rolled on Loyolais home alleys and it was this match that Forced the Crusaders to assume the runnereup position in the league. With a Fine chance to end up in the top spot the locals won only one game and lost tour. This was the last Chance available and thus ended the standings. A short and not too successful season was in store For the Voipo thinclads during the year of 1949. Only three meets were scheduled tor the cinder men and there was not a victory Forthcoming in any of these. The deciding Factor in the season was a lock of reserve strength. it was not too hard c1 task to ring up the required number of Firsts in c1 meet but there were not enough seconds and thirds to pull the team through to 0 victory. Lyoli Waters, 1948 Little State Hurdier Champion, and HOatsH Mehlberg speedy dash men were the main- stays of the squad and the main point-winners. Thailmon, 880 mom, Metcoif, distance mqn, French, hoIF-miier, Dyer, hurdles, and Berger, hurdles, were the additional men who Finally composed the team. Working under adverse conditions 015 tar as Facilities were concerned these men put in 0 lot of time and eHort in their running The possibility 0F a successful track season in the future will depend on the current crop of Freshmen and their interest in the sport. The men with the ability are present, all that needs to be done is to instill the spirit and properly coeordinute the activity. a 3; Golf With the coming of Spring and warm weather, the Valpo Iinksmen were out on the courses polishing their drivesl chips, and puts to be able to use them ehcectively against the opposing crop of college golfers. Under the supervision of Dr. Larson,the Biown and Gold squad had a successful season compiling a record of 6 wins, 3 losses, and 2 ties in 11 meets. Led by Jim Knoll, medalist of the team, the links enthusiasts launched the season with the idea 0F making it a winning one. All this preparing was For the Final ciimox of the goii year, the Little State Golf Meet at Lafayette! Indiana. Bob Leahy held down the number two spot behind Knoll,but Lechy cracked his shoulder in 106 mid season and was lost to the team for the remainder of the year. Ai Frick, Jack Burt, and Dick Freeman rounded out the squad and these men performed obiy throughout the entire season. Competition in the Little State Meet was very stiH as was expected and while shooting without their number two man, the locals placed third in a field of twelve teams. This play culminated the second successful golf season in the lost three years and it cast 0 hopeful pre- view for the next year. With three men returning From this yearis squad, the outlook is bright and the possibility high For a championship golf team here at Vaipo next year. TennB The 1949 edition of the Brown and Gold tennis squd, under the direction of Dr. Hoelty-Nickel and Mr. Tank finished the season with a 3 and 2 record. Battling against the weather and unfavorable facilities, the team com- pleted 5 of the 7 matches that were scheduled. The locals opened the season against Indiana Tech, playing the Techmen twice and winning both matches by 7-0 scores. The next two meets resulted in close detects, the First by Concordia, 4-3, and the second at the hands of St. Joe, 4-3. The final play was against Wheaton, a 5-2 win for the Crusaders. Matches with St. Joe and Illinois Tech were postponed because of the weather. On May 26, the squad traveled to Earlhcm, Indiana to compete in the Little State Meet. There they garnered a great deal of experience and c1 few points. The return of the present, experienced squad promises greater success in the Future. 107 I Men 5 Intramura 5 Nine fraternities opened the 19484949 intramural competition with high hopes of winning the coveted All- School Trophy. Beginning with Football in September and running until May of the following Spring when Field Day had finally been completed, the Greek organiza- tions competed among themselves and with the Inde- pendents in order to accumulate the points needed for the victory. Now that the nine Fraternities have Firmly entrenched themselves in the vicious i.F.C. sports circle, the competie tion has become keener. The intramural system gives many men a chance to put their talents to a good use and men of varsity caliber are frequently found in the competition with their various Greek organizations. The spirit and Friendly rivalry found in this athletic program gives vent to stored up energy and produces a closer reiationship among the men and their fraternities. The Kappa Phi Tauis of Lincolnway Fame were the victors in the recent'race For the AIi-School honors. It was a close race with the KIP's leading all the way but being overhauled in the Final eventiFieid Day. After a slow start the victors Fought hard and earned the honors they gained. The toctbail season started three weeks attertheopen- ing day at classes and the hopes of each Fraternity were tor a successful season. Playing in a rough nine team league the Phi Psi's came through with a perfect record For a season to cop top honors. The KIPis Followed the victors in the runnerup spot and the Rho Tau's climbed aboard to Fill in the show spot. Many exciting games were witnessed by hundreds of students, the climax of the sea- son being the Phi Psi's conquest OF the independent champsl the men from Shantytown in a thrilling 13 to 0 contest. Foiiowing closely on the heels of the pigskin season, the basketball season was inaugurated and it main- tained a merry and rapid pace until its conclusion. As in previous years the competition was sharp and the play rough. The season was terminated by the piay-oFt contest between the KIP'S and the ABS, with the ABS coming out'on the long end of the score by a two point margin. The AEis then went on to defeatthe Independent champions, the COis. The Rho Tauis again clinched the 108 Final paying spot by defeating the Phi Psiis in a play-ott contest. Mingled with the basketball season was the bowling competition. in this category the Kappa Phi Tau's re ceived a bit of stiFt opposition throughout the race but emerged victorious after leading all the way in a slim margin. The AEis placed second and the Rho Tauis again were in the third spot. Voiieybail was one OF the fastest passing sports, being completed in a matter at two weeks, The KiPis were victors in this category, losing only one game all season and vanquishing the Independent champs in three con- secutive games. The AEis pursued the KIPis and en- trenched themselves in the place spot while the Faithful Rho Tauis defeated the Omega Chi's in a play-QFF For the third spot in the standings. Spring and nice weather-Ator a changeebrought a short, snappy, and successful soFtbali season to our at- tention. Here, the champion Kappa Phi Tauis, with Bili Schroer on the mound, Finished their second successive undefeated season. The champs defeated the Incle- pendent victors, the Beanmen, and so annexed the school championship in this sport. The Sig Chiis jumped into the runner-up slot and the Omega Chi's pushed in For a pointposition inthird place The Final determining event of the year was Field Day. The top three fraternities were separated by only Five points and preparations tor the meet were undertaken with grim determination. In a true Frank Meriweil Finish, the Kappa Phi Tau's came through to capture the Field Day Laurels and by this victory they annexed their First aiI-school award. The KiP's Finishing in the third spot in Field Day were in the runner-up spot in points For the aII-school award. A well balanced team was the key to success tor the victors who Finished four points ahead of the second place Phi Psi's. After viewing the past years intramural competition among the Greeks, it is easy to see that Future years will hold many exciting and thrilling hours of sporting recrea- tion For the student body. We hope that this friendly spirit of competition will help create a bigger and better intramural athletic program here at Vaipo. Women's Athletic Association WAA through its varied activities affords Vaipo women sports enthusiasts with an opportunity for recrea- tion and aiso service to the school. Recreation is in the Form of the intramural tournaments in soccer, volleyball, basketbalir baseball, bowling, ping-pong, and Tumbling is also available for those interested. The annual WAA play-dqy which was attended by representatives From 17 area high schools, enabled the visitors to become acquainted with the opportunities For women's athletics in college. The activities this year in- cluded two team sports, softball ondvoileyball,qndtrack and Field events plus demonstrations of tumbling. 110 WAA serves by selling cokes cut the university games. During registration members of the association sold coffee and doughnuts to the students and faculty. initiated this year was a camping club, which offers camp training For all women interested in that field. in the spring WAA delegates were present at the convention of the National Athletic Federation of Col- lege Women heid at the University of Wisconsin. At the state A.F.C.W. Convention at Bail State Teachers Col- lege, WAA delegates participated in discussion groups and piGy-duy events. Again this year a Full program of intramural activities under the guidance of the Physical Education Department and the sponsorship of W.A.A. was initiated to tuitiii the varied desires at women sportsters. Although the basic purpose was to promote recreation and Fellowship among women, the development of interest, leadership, skill, and cooperation was also stressed. included among the activities classed as individual sports was tumbling. Although participation was small because tumbiers were forced to compete with other tournaments For time, the students who worked out on the mats gained both satisFaction and experience and re- ported a successful season. A singles tournament in ping pong drew many avid Fans who spent extra hours in both the gym basement and the dormitory recreation rooms developing serves and trick shots. Freshman Carol Kuiiick outplayed aii 0F her competitors throughout the tourney and emerged victori- ous over Luciiie Theiss in the Final match For championship honors. Despite the Fact that entrants in the badminton tournae ment were Forced to withstand interruptions From basket- ball players who insistently seemed to be aiming at the badminton net rather than the basket, competition was keen. it was not only a matter at farm and stroke that counted so much in this highly contested sport, but also a near-protessionai plan of deliberate attack. Perhaps the best exponent of these attributes was Edna Rippe who came out on top after the Final set. Lucille Theiss was runner-up again in this sport. The Knights oi Columbus pooi in Gary provided the scene For mixed recreation in the Form of swimming parties. Many were the comp counselors-to-be, lite- savers-to-be, and just ordinary swimming enthusiasts who journeyed by bus to the nearby pool For a refreshing period of swimming. A new innovation in the Form of an elimination tourna- ment in soccer started OFF the year's activities. Despite the Fact that Daylight Saving Time was still in use, the light hours at the evening never seemed to last long enough For 111 the tournament entries. Discolored shins and limping W.A.A. members were the order at the day, but in spite of all mishaps, the games were both hilarious and spirited. First owners of the new trophy are the Alpha Phis who turned back the Alpha Xis in the Final playoff. Not exactly an intramural project, but certainly one which provided varied activity and informal fellowship was the W.A.A. Camping Club which was Formed late in the First semester. Following a re-orgonization utter winter semester registration, an integrated program was put into eFFect, and the would-be campers participated in cook-outs, song and folk dance meetings, and craft projects. Future plans For the enthusiastic members of the organization call For week-end duplications of the 112 one-day camping trip which they took to the Dunes in April. Eager basketball players were Forced to prolong their ambitions until the last of February when, because of a limited schedule, two separate elimination tournaments were played off. From the start, the title-holding Alpha Phis had little trouble in retaining superior status in the sorority league, but in the six-squad independent league it was a different story. Not until the Final week at the tourney was the title in that section decided in Favor of a sextet of Freshman sharpshooters From Dodge. Led by Forward Mary Heinecke, who placed high in the ranks of oFtensive players, the team from the Freshman dorm met and held the Alphas to a scanty lead in the First hall of the playoff contest between them. Only by pulling steadily ahead in the lost half were the Alphas able to cop the title and the trophy. This tournament was marked by the initial entrance of the newly-Formed Kappa Tau Zetos into the Field of intromurctls. As shown by the Final records, the Kappqs were highly successful in their beginning and proved to be a constant threat to their opponents. Although male spectators were horrified at the high scores and the unbelievable number oi errors committed by nervous inFieldersl the womenis softball league was on, success again this spring. Nine squads competed in 0 tournament which set a new record by being interrupted only twice by thunder-showers. Despite the fact that several of last year's pitching wizards were missing, three well-orgonized teomsgAlpha Phis, Kappa Tuus, and Pi Delta Chiseedid their part in dominating activities on the dustbowl diamond, Brown Field, and two newly- developed Fields east 0F Guild. The Alphas successfully Walloped all competitors and added the trophy to their collection. Perhaps the softball competition will provide the most pleasant memories to those who played and watched because humorous antics were continuously taking place. Certainly no one will be able to Forget the near catastrophe which forced Cl well-lmown pitcher to suddenly leave the game she was winning nor will anyone ioil to recall the enthusiastically attempted slides by white-outfitted players, Spring, 1949, was truly a season 0F unusual soitball. 113 COMBUSTION Combustion . . . a sudden explosion . . . activities igniting and burning intensely . . . enveloping every comerol the campus . . . creating a glow in every individual , . . from the eHorts ol the serious, capable, and energetic student council l . . to the lively social committee . . .eHorts marked by accomplishments . . . renovation of the llHolell . . . c1 bigger and better Hobo Day and Homecoming . . . rivalled only by vigorous activities of other campus groups . ..

Student government plays on important port at Volpo, and the annually elected representatives decide on issues of all types. Bob Groth, president of the 1948-1949 council, was kept busy reporting and appointing and informing the administration 0F important decisions. Rose- mary Klinkenberg, vice-president, presided qt 0 the meetings and kept order while Lois Huber recorded the minutes and informed members of meeting times. Signing checks was the job 0F Irv Seehafer so that he could keep the books For the many allocations. Any problems concerning the Student Council sponsored Social and Lyceum committees or the Torch and BEACON were 116 Student Coundl brought to the council. The most important project of the year was the Student Union Plan. Atter much discussion, 0 petition was initiated For submission to the university administration, requesting authorization to increase the Student Council fee of $7 per semester to $10. Upon approval, the additional $3 would be placed in CI permanent Student Union Fund, designated For that Election announcements for 1949-1950 council. purpose only. This plan was originated by the Inde- pendents, and the council adopted it to go into effect in September 1949. In June, the First two members of c1 standing committee consisting of representatives From each class were appointed.

Gown and Gavel To promote 01 higher standard of scholarship, to render leadership, and to give service to the university have been the aims achieved year after year by Gown and Gavel, senior women's honorary scholastic society. As in former years, the organization again took complete charge of the tutoring system as an aid in raising scholasticism on the campus. In Full, they gave a tea for Freshman women in order that they would become acquainted with the objectives of the society. An award was also made to the outstanding Freshman woman. In spring, junior women who excelled in scholarship, personality, and leadership were tapped at a special ceremony and welcomed into Gown and Gavel. 119 The Wedding Band composed 0F married couples and their children, was established in the spring of 1947. This organization has promoted Fellowship and stimulated social functions apart From college iiFe For the married couples on campus. Fomiiy get-togethers with pot-iuck suppers and social hours, speakers and musical entertain- ment, and unified participation in campus life are some of the activities of this group.

This fraternity has rendered much service to Volpo. Alpha Phi Omega 121 Band Parades, athletic events, and concerts Find the bond ready to don their brown and gold uniforms and give consistently good performances. The band consists of two sections, the Varsity Band and the Concert Band. The Varsity Bond is an essential at Football and basket- ball games, and it keeps the crowd cheering the team on to victory. The Concert Band provides classical music both in Vulpo and out of town For highly entertaining evenings from Each to Sousa. The University Bond per- torms under the capable direction of Dick Wienhorst. 122 Orchestra Under the skilled leadership of Dr. Theodore Hoelty- Nickel the University Orchestra presented several Fine concerts on campus and in the surrounding area. Beeth- oven, Mozart, and Shubert are among the favorites of the group, and stringed instruments, woodwinds, and brass combine For evenings of enjoyment. Many hours are spent practicing by the members as evidenced by good performance. University Choir Under the able direction of Professor Schoenbohm, the university choir began another year at rendering choral concerts in the pertectionalistic style which is synonymous with its name. The choir, composed of seventy-six students, began practicing immediately alter registration week in the Fall semester. Their First concert was given tor the alumni get- together at Homecoming. The choir's second public appearance at Valpo was the traditional Christmas concert betore vacation started. Before this, they had traveled to Logansport, lnd. to sing at a convention For which Dr. Wm. Meyer spoke, and they also went to Chicago and aided with church services there. Immediately after Christmas vacation they began preparations for their annual tour. This was the third tour since the close of World War ll and it covered seven states, including Indiana. The tour began with a concert in Watertown, Wisconsiny continued through Wisconsin to Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois, and ended with the concert here in our auditorium. There was the spring addition to the ranks, with new members learningthow HPapa DickH makes faces, the speculation as to what choir would do in the spring in the way of concert work, and plans to go East next year. Schola Cantorum The singing of the Requiem, an essential part of the Relormation celebration on the campuSethe annual trip to Chicago to make recordings For the Lutheran Hour broadcastSethe spring Cantataethese were the out- standing activities of Schola Cantorum this year. The hymns 0t Schola and the liturgies of the smaller chapel choir added greatly to the claily chapel services and were welcomed by the stuclents. BeFore presenting them, how- ever, each piece of music was thoroughly practiced and then practiced again in the one-hour class sessions held tour days a week. Through the devotion oi its members and the work of its director, Prot. Hoelty-Nickel, Scholu Cantorum is and will continue to be an integral port of campus life atValpo. Glee Club This organization lays claim to be the most enjoyed and more enjoyable activity on campus, and we are inclined to agree with it. Organized in September, by lona Bohn, the glee club immediately became an integral part of the university. The club is composed of over one hundred students who are interested in purely secular songs and who also like to sing them Four nights a week. In December, a well-received ancl highly-ap- plauded concert was given, Featuring Secular Christmas songs and semi-classical selections. Alter Easter, the glee club sang From the auditorium on the University Hour. This was a sort of sneak preview for what the month of May was to bring, for that month the spring concert was presented beFore an appreciative audience, who en- joyed the music as much as the singers. Highlight of the program was Fred Waringls arrangement ot the Nut- cracker Suite a wonderfully performed number. Then the curtain was closed on the organization, until next loll when the members will again warm up with la la la la. 123 Maior's Club Eligibte For membership in the Major's Club are women who are Physical Education majors, these women gather tor supper meetings on the First Tuesday of every month. To keep up with all new rules avrg'd regulations and to review techniques of women,s sports, movies were shown at several meetings. Since officials for the WAA intro- murals are members 0F the Mojorts Club, some time was spent in discussing rules For oHicioting the various sports. The club has charge of the sale of women's physical 124 education uniforms, and it is the club's policy to auction OFF gym clothes and sports equipment which has not been claimed by the owners. To lecdevents FortheannuqlWAA pluy-doyisanother responsibility ot the Majorts Club, and upon the com- pletion 0F each intramural tournament the winner is challenged to 01 non-oHicial game by the majors. During the post yectr oHicers of the club have been Janet May, president; Florence Ebel, vice-president; and Lucille Theisst secretory-trecxsurer. Pep Club Under the leadership of Walt Kolarik, Kathy Rubow, and Marilyn Brauer, president, vice-president, and secretary-trectsurer, respectively, the newly reorganized Pep Club of over seventy-Five active members is boosting the spirit of Vulpois teams and spectators. Besides leading cheers at the games, the club this year has sponsored trips to see our boys play at the St. Louis Seminary cmd St. Josephs V-Ciub The V-Ciub is composed oi the men From various sports who have earned their varsity letters. They are easily identified by their gold sweaters with the brown Vis and stripes indicating years of pctr- ticipotion. This organization is active in seiling programs at Football and basketball games which iist the players of both teams and give pertinent information regarding thesteams. Here is 0 concentration oi the coed's dream athletes. V 125 This wczs another busy year for the members of Alpha Psi Omega, notional honorary dramatic society, who displayed an active interest in the university plays and in plays given outside of the campus. The society spon- sored several theatre trips to neur-by Chicago to enable students. to enjoy the current popular stage plays. A trip was also made to LoPorte, enabling students to witness the Black Hills Passion Play. In February, Ibsen's Ghosts, performed by 0 national touring company, was presented to the university under the sponsorship of the organization. A number of students who had Fulfilled the necessary requirements were pledged and received into active membership at the beginning of the new semester. Members of Alpha Psi Omega ore Carl Abendroth, Vivian Bongert, Alice Marie Bround, Janet Brochs, Bobbie Faust, Carol Fulton, Marilyn Gerth, Bob Groth, Bob Hodges, Bill Johnson, Bill Klockow, Don Miller, Ted Mueller, Will Reimer and Joe Scionti. Alpha Psi Omega johnson, Hodges, Reimer, Miller; Gerth, Fulton, Faust, Brochs, Braund. 126 erman Club A stronger might wander into a meeting of this organization and think that he had come upon a group of foreign students, because oil business procedure and entertainment is conducted in German. Christmas carols sung in German echo through the room at the pre-Christmos meeting, and the games and movies help students enlarge their vocabulary and periect their pronunciation. Many of the members correspond with students in Germany, and the trensier of ideas gives a better concept of Germany as the native sees it and in c1 small way improves US. foreign relations. 127 International Relations Club Meeting Sunday nights in Recital Hall, IRC selected HProgress and Peace as its theme tor club discussion during the year. The United Nations, international law, and the port religion may play in peace were subjects for speeches made by such men as Prof. Wehting, Mr. Savage, and Dr. Pelikan. Movies pertinent to the topics were presented at several meetings. One of the outstand- 128 ing speakers was Dr. Clyde Hutchinson ot the University of Chicago's department of nuclear physics, who ex- plained the position of the atom bomb in the world inter-relqtions. In this organization, students mcty gain a Fuller understanding of world oFtoirs and consequently be better prepared to perform their citizenship duties. Radio Club From high in the Engineering Building the members of the Radio Club headed by Bob Schmidt, talk with other amateur operators throughout the country on station WQCLX. At their monthly meetings they discuss the technical aspects of radio construction and operation. One of their projects is giving Valparaiso a radio station 0F its own. M 129 When the tootlights dimmed, the University Players were sure to present art outstand- ing performance. Hours of work were behind each plqy's direction, make-up, costuming, lighting, and every other aspect which con- tribute to the willing suspension of disbelief and the thorough enjoyment of each act. The first production of the year was YEARS AGO ua glowing,nostalgic,warming comedy,wise, witty, true and tenderH as one critic com- mented. The play took the audience into a typical American home of many years ago to see an entertaining stoge-struck young girl. 130 The onnucli Christmas performance thrilled the viewers and inspired true seasonoi spirit. The Lenten drama, THE VIGIL, presented a new version of the traditional Easter storyt important people in the crucifixion of Christ entered a modern courtroom to testify in o triai to de- termine whether Christ had risen from the dead or if his body had been stolen by the gardener. Final decision was left to the audience, and many thoughts the play contained will remain with a discerning spectator For weeks to come. Because of diFticuities which could not be overcome, the spring drama was cancelled, and three one-oct piqys were given by the acting class. Especially important in the year's activities was the sponsorship 0F c pioywriting contest, a nationwide search For undis- covered talent in this Field. Prominent leaders in the university theater movement will judge the pioys, and the Players will ask permission to produce the prize winning plays for the First time. This contest may gain notional publicity For the Valparaiso University dramatic group. 131 132 The six page newspaper published by the Student Council 0F Valparaiso University kept students well in- formed of all campus news and views. Under the editor- ship 0F Carlton H. Ihde, such columns as Viv BangerFS uhitch-hiker , Norm Kettner's sideline slants , and thetters to the EditorH gained weekly Followings. Still crusading, editorial writers were kept busy by topics such 05 the Student Union Plan, and bottles were waged by advocates of the BEACON qnd factions opposed to it. The Torch gained AII-Americqn honors the First semester, and the office was always crowded with those who would suggest a slight change, hhe busy cubs seeking new assignments, and anyone who had a few minutes break and decided to stop in.

Founded with the idea of keeping the Valparaiso student in touch with Fellow students, the group sent representatives to seminars and conferences of Gamma Delta on other campuses. Sunday night suppers were held at the parish hall, and the members sponsored Sunday morning Bible classes at Immanuel Church. Gamma Delta is the national Lutheran students' organization, and it holds on important place on campus. Engineering An up and coming group on campus is the engineering students. Their eHorts toward a: complete course at Vaipo rather than transierring to other schools led them to build a new structure on campus, almost compieteiy through student work. They gained nationwide publicity For the university, and with the appointment by the Board of Hermon C. Hesse us engineering deem and passage of a Formal resoiution establishing a four-year School of Engineering,these students saw some oitheirdreoms come true. University Youth Council Challenging, expanding, stimulatingethere's nothing quite like the University Youth Council with its program of helping students to richer lives through supervised recreation. 1948-'49 sow fqr-recxching changes For the organization of volunteers: relocation of the clubhouse on a city park lot, acquisition of counseling service From professional social workers, and inauguration of 01 new plan of management under the Department of Sociology.

Summer experiences were the subject of convergotion until rosy down more than one night cxs everyone caught up on the latest news. Soon gray mornings Found us working on the Heat and house decorations For Homecoming and welcoming alumnae. The Float was red, the color of our redbird opponents, and several of us were caged tor the duration of the parade. The athletes with the rose lettered t-shirts overcame all opposition on the soccer field and basketball court to win the trophies in both spcrts. They placed First in base ball for the second season and even emerged as victors in the university championship contest with the Kappa Phi Taus. A warm house and hot coFtee were always ready For the corol'ers at Christmas time and For the dorm com- muters. Spring brought the South Sec: Islands to the gym, and before the night was over the much sought big Pearl was Found. Soon rbse and gray pledge ribbons dotted the campus. The girlshin rose and gray won First place at Song Fest, and presentation ot the trophy was made by Dot Gerken the queen and member. Graduation ended another year for Alpha Phi Delta. 139 140 We started this year with new members added to our sorority and new pions for the year. We had the entire house at last, and not just the upstairs at 503 Lincolnway. in the Fall we used our spare time at Homecoming by working on our Float and house decorations and chatting with alumni. Then soon the spirit of Christmas was upon us with gay lights and decorations, caroling, snowbaii Fights, and parties. Semester exams come, and we studied for hours and increased the electric light bill quite Cl bit. Spring brought housecieaning and more enjoyable walks to the so-tor away campus. Spring also brought our rush party when we worked until the wee hours of the morning, and then pledging. The new pledge class added names to the roll book in our meeting and provided exercise for both actives and pledges. Endless hours were spent practicing For song test and Fieid day. We had our winter formal and our spring Formal at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago-and what wonderful memories they are. Looking back on the years, we noticed how Far weive come since we were founded in 1919 and plan on how For we con yet travel along the road which leads to a better Alpha Xi Epsilon sorority in the future.

Alumnae staying late and actives getting up early seemed to be the standard routine at Home- coming; paste and paper Filled the house, and the decorations nearly blew away. Days passed quickly, and the volleyball team brought the roving trophy home to keep after their third season of victory. The Christmas Formal was a Festive party at Barker Hall. Even Santa came to the house getetogether. First place bowling trophy was added to the piano collection. Rush party plans kept everyone busy for weeks, and the gym was transformed into a gold rush town of 100 years ago. Coeds became senoritas for Song Fest, and the next day they proved their ability as athletes by winning First place at Field Day and the high point womanls award. Pledges became actives and some actives became alumnae, and another year was completed in building the present moment to perfection so that we might recall the past with pride. 14-2 Marianne Boerwald Janice Bordonner Doris Bergslien Marilyn Braun Joan Coyner Virginia Ebs Gertrude Fehl Beverly Fiege Shirley Frederick Betty Gollion Marilyn Gitzlcff Elyse Heinecke Doris Herpolsheimer Dorothy Hinners Charlotte Isenberger Betty Junkhon Joan Kilb Ruth Klousmeier Helen Knop Dorothy Kupke Edith Liptok Janet May Aline Meyer Patricio Mittelstaedt Margaret Muehleisen Betty Neumeyer Mary Ann Nowack Evelyn Omiecienski Margaret Pirchner Charlotte Pischke Charlene Piske Betty Reid Shirley Rowold Ruth Souermon Mary Jane ScheHing Betty Ann Schmelling Jecm Schuchordt Vivian SieloH Helen Sohn Edith Sonstrom Mary Stevens Marie Stoeppleworth Grace Tucke Rebeccq Taylor Lucille Theiss Lorraine Troeger Joyce qutrow Mary Wochholz 143 144 Caroline Bolster Vivian Bongert Joanne Bauer Barbara Brenner Dolores Brill Janet Brocks June Brownhill Marjorie Cumin Phyllis Dierker Doris Drews Marlis Drews Margaret Ehlers Helen Finke Nadine Harms Lois Huberl pres.

From working late into the night on Floats and parties to getting all decked out for a Formal, we have made our mark on the campus. Homecoming saw us all busy as usual with last minute touches on Float and house decorationsetouches that lasted a whole slumberless night as incoming alumnae together with the actives crowded into the house. No sooner had the lost paper napkin been snatched From its place on our coreFtu assembled mapu than we started on our next big project, the aIl-campus Halloween party. Then there was a thrilling event at the house, the addition of 0 new stove! The newly installed selF-paying coke machine got 0 workout, too. Our winter formal at Turkey Creek couldnt have been better. To us it was the perfect beginning to a joyous Christmas season. We went carolling and had parties, and exchanged giftst too, For all of us blossomed Forth with yellow scarves and mittens. After the holidays come the end of the semester rush, Final exams and sad good byes to four Delt grads. Spring, and rushing wasn't For behind. We had more sleepless nights when the house was again Filled to overflowing to prepare For the best rush party ever. The spring house party Followed and we had another good time at our spring Formal. And then, graduation rolled around again. We said more good byes, but we knew we would always retain the memory of another year of Delta Chi.

After a lot of discussion, a group of girls presented a list to ISC, and a short time later a new sorority was born. Meeting places, pin designs, and appropriate colors were some of our first problems, but when the jeweled pins came, everyone was impressed by the blue geometric design and well-sotisfied by the Final choice. Plans for CI house were soon underway, and, although it took months of searching and a lot of work, we were assured that our second year would be spent in a 1house of our own. Rushing rules did not permit om organization to rush their First year,- we spent our time observing how it's done in preparation For next year. The Hole show with the KIPs was more Fun than work to give, and we had reason to celebrate at the party they gave For us that night. At Song Fest the Front rows were Filled with members clad in green who let the campus know that the sorority was on up and coming one. Organizations entertained us during the year and mcmy enjoyable evenings were spent getting to know the members of other sororities. Most of the business of the year was work, but we had a lot of fun, too. We Felt iconFident that our sorority was well on its way to ranking high on the list of campus organizations. 147 Sigma Theta Now ith almost over, smother year For the Sigs is coming to on end, and as we look back at the old, worn pages of the calendar, certain red letter days stand out. The'First thing we glooted over in September was the new, sparkling white paint on 507 Monroe. We enjoyed the warm October days on a new porch swing and planned For homecoming. We built our whole and root beer mug and plunged into c: whirlwind of activities with alumnae that left us tired but happy. November days passed quickly, our alumnae paper SIGCERELY went to press, and we caught our breath waiting For the rush before Christmas. We beamed with pride of our protegee, Alexander, in YEARS AGO. Hot, spicy punch in an infoqul atmosphere was the keynote 0F our traditional Christmas at Home in December. Soon it was January, and we were planning our winter FormCII-sSnowboll Fling we called it. January also saw us making room For a new piano. Basketball took some 0F our February evenings and most of our strength. In March we discussed a national alumnae organization, and one Saturday night we turned the gym into a circus For our rush party. April brought Flowers, min, and pledges,- our Anni- versary Waltz was in May. It was the event 0F the year For us, For Sigma Theta celebrated its thirtieth birthday. Seventeen Sigs graduated in June, the end of bridge games and late pop com parties for a long time to come. That closes our calender of memories,- it will be tucked away for Future reminiscenCes. 148 Mary Akers Alice Marie Braund Barbara Faust Leila Finzel Ruth Fischer Eunice Frenk Lois Fricke Carol Fulton Cherie Gardner Keufner Lois Gehrke Marilyn Gerth Muriel Hassels Lois Hilgemcnn Dorothea Husemqnn Marjorie Koester Florence Krueger Miriam Martini Beverly Mertens Muriel Minkus Grace Reimer Delores Schalk Brunhilde Schumann Carol Sieving Winona WamhoFF Margaret Wendt Lois Zarnke 149 Ruth Berg Grace Broeger Elaine Davis Betty Gallion Dorothy Gohr Norma Greenler Dolores Huckwelder Clara Hermes Lois Junk Shirley Jensen Elizabeth Kujawski Barbara Looman Evelyn Middelstodt Grace Pomerenke Anita Rentz Lois Roepke Kathleen Rubow Gloria Schoelle Ruth Ann Schulenburg Loreita Skov Marion Speckhardt Dorothy Stanke Florence Volkert Elaine Yoreo Esther Young 150 Pi Delta Chi Not too long ago the Deconesses were 01 new group on campus, very small in number, who played a limited part in campus activity. Since the organization was started in 1944, the membership has grown considerably and 605 Chicago needs an annex to house all the members. The name Pi Delta Chi was added last year and with it come more activities. We played our best on the volley ball, basketball, and baseball teams, and we put up some stiff competition in the race. Members were active in many clubs and the University Youth Council was cm important center at interest.Homecoming was a lot of fun and we worked with the rest of the campus to get things in order For welcoming alumni. Christmas was its usuoltlurry otexcitementmixed withjoyatthe approaching birthday of Christ. In spring, some at us signed up for rushing because new rules made pledging permissoblet Throughout the yegr,academic work was combined with Christian living and University classes were supplemented by individual instruction in moclern Christendom and the study of the Bible under the direction 0F the Rev. A. R Krentz. In June, for the First time, two members received their BA degrees, and many anticipated church service during the summer vacation. The Pi Delts hope For even greater progress in the coming years. 151 lnfersorority, Council The lntersorority Council serves Hto encourage Friendship among the sororities, to help in keeping high standards, and to defend the individual interests of the sorori- ties.n It helps to regulate rush parties, silent days, and pledging, meeting weekly under the competent leadership of Mrs. 50 Heidbrink. Most outstanding on the order of business this year was the approval of the charter of c: new sorority, the Kappa Tau Zetas, which brought the number of sororities at Volpo to six. 152 Interirafernity Council The interfrotemity councii consists of two representatives from each fraternity, and it is the chief coordinating body For the mole Greeks. Fraternity rushing was studied and new rules were adopted and enforced in regard to the rushing oi Freshmen and transfer students. New students were rushed the second semester cm a more uniForm Fashion with greater efficiency. Each year this council works to maintain high stand- ards For the fraternities on campus. 153 154 Elmer Biles Alfred Meyer James Albe Gerald Dittrich Walter Neilsen Kurt Zielske Robert Hanson Arthur Mason Eugene Doepping Gordon Klett William Spear Donald Koepke Charles Oberdeck Arnold Schlegel Delwin Dudek Donald Martin Karl Johnson Gerald Moder Robert Woehrmann Charles Doering Malcom Heidi James Otterstein Donald Howard Robert Boeck John Dovidsmeyer Leo Rader Arthur Mateer Theodore Suttmeier Elden Rhode William Lindenberg Robert Moeller Poul Deterding John KuecHe George Fry John Nelson John Remus William Miert Earl Tessmer Walter Muente Richard Heinrich Ray Swanson Kenneth Schultz Clarence Popkey William Hurdtke Poul Schultz Gerald Speckhard Richard Williams Marvin Schlichting Charles Reinke John Henry Arthur Gou William Tacke Roy Meyer Robert Patrick Ernest Bettin Hurry Nelson William Luecke John Hartzell Glenn ROGSCh Alpha Epsilon Another year at 802 Linwood started OH with renewing acquaintances and getting back in the swing of things. Homecoming plans were dis- cussed and re-discussed and our efforts to se- cure a real coFFin and grovestones were re- warded by winning the First place house decora- tion trophy. OF course the weekend was crowded with parties for dates in the afternoons and evenings and stag bull sessions which were likely to lost all night. When' intramural sports got under way, Alpha Epsilon put in some of the best teams in competition. The keglers bowled their way to second place listing and the volleyball team played into another second place position. On the hardwood, the AE's were tops as proved by the First place trophy. Studying was supplemented by house parties and the Christmas and spring Formals, and everyone enjoyed the break from the academic.

A hayride on c: cooi autumn night touched OFF this year's social activities. After home- coming as the weather grew colder, KDPs crowded into the Front ciubroom to watch Football games and wrestling matches on the campus, First television set. Turkey Creek Country Club attracted members and their dates to the season's First Formal quir. The Christmas season also brought on the usuai Festivities of parties and caroling, and the usual rewards of coffee, cookies, and mistletoe after midnight. After Christmas vacation, ten pledges become actives, increasing the membership to on even g, h 93' B N 5 $5 titty men. Late in February, radio station WKDP began operating From the second Floor of the Fraternity house, providing cm inciirect link of communication with women at Aitruria Hail. Nightly the girls tuned in at eleven to hear the music and variety shows. K-Deits gave the other fraternities a run For their money in ail sports, but made their most concerted eHorts in the sottboii tourney. in spring, plans were Formulated for obtaining a new chapter house for the Fraternity. Members vaiiqntiy struggled to overcome the stiff competition of Field Day and Song Fest, and at the end of the school year six more grads became alumni. 156 Floyd Allen Stanley Armbrecht Harold Baumann Vernon Brugge Walter Buuck Richard CIiFt Norman Cobb William Dqllmon George Docter Clarence Duesing Philip Ebert Ralph Eilers George Game Luther Genuit Robert Groth Roy Hogedom Poul Holvensleben Norman Honnewold Carl Harvey Don Hiltpold Martin Huebner Carlton lhde Walter Jakubovie Leroy Jones Robert Knospe John Krueger Donald Londrebe Hermon Larson Donald Mach Robert Marks Donald Miller Lawrence Mittelstqedt Donald McGroth Edmund Peper Paul Phipps Martin Riese Richard Salomon Jock Sauermon Robert Schlueter Vernon Schmultz Robert Schmidt Martin Schworz Rollin Sproetz Norman Streit Richard Streit Dolore Thusius Harold Williams KGrl-Ander Wollter Kenneth Zielke 157 Becker, Calvin Berger, Rodney Borchort, LeRoy Bowen, Robert Brown, Floyd Buhl, Howard Diebele, Donald Drechsler, Henry Eckenfels, Henry Eckert, Louis Edwards, Kenneth Ficken, Robert Grimskel Frank Hout, Clarence Hartman, Roy Heinitz, Donald Hillburg, Kenneth Hillburg, Robert Hinrichsen, Henry Jcmto, Stephen Jones, John Paul Jordon, David Koul, Robert 158 Kepplinger, Douglas Kickbush, Robert Klettke, Robert Knope, Ned Knoblock, Walter Krotzke, Robert Kuenker, Ralph Lange, Stanley Lotz, Herbert Luenser, Richard Meier, Arthur Meyer, Louis MilleviHe, Arthur Mueller, John McRitchie, WiHiqm Peters, Robert Rosenthal, Richard Rowedder, Royse SchoeHer, Thomas Saeger, Waldemar Scheiderer, Robert Schiller, Donald Schroer, William Sepmeyer, Merlin Simko, John Small, Roland Stade, Harry Steinbart, Reinhardt Stranghoener, Werner Strassburg, Robert Strossmeyer, Erwin Storbeck, Robert Stumme, Edmund Tonck, Paul Tiede, Albert Umbach, Richard Underwood, William Velepec, Hubert Vonderlage, William Waters, LyoH Westermon, John Wilken, Harold Woike, Otto Kappa Phi Tau Lights gleamed in the Windows once more, and our second year in the house started.

The house decoration was the First mechanical one on campus, and young and oid went out of their way to watch the red bird's eyes light up when struck by crusader generated electricity. House parties and formats Filled the social calendar; the house was always crowded and coffee was on the stove tor carollers at Christmas. The athletic season was very successful. First place trophy was carried home by the bowling team, and in baseball the team not only placed number one, but also cqmpleted their second undefeated intramural season. A Field Day victory assured top listing in points, and the AII-schooi Trophy became one of our most prized possessions. 1949 was a big year for Kappa Phi Tau. 159 160 William Abraham Edwin Adel Elmer Bernard Lynn Block John Buckholz Ronald Dickmeyer Robert English Donald Ericksen Robert French Raymond Habedank Albert Halfpap Howard Hasz Victor Holm Ralph Groth Samuel Isaac Burdette Lindemann Robert Neuendorf Richard Pell Robert Pohl Donald Pahl Kenneth Priebe Edward Rehberg Edward Rothchild William Seehqfer Robert Sheppy Leon Sturzenbecher Gordon Tagge Ronald Wennerstrom Henry Youngblood Charles Zastrow Charles Younghqns Norman Thompson Leroy Engert Kenneth Goreiss Vernon Thalmonn Ralph Scholz Norman quemon Robert Cain Robert Aigner Gilbert Reinkensmeyer Reemt Baumon Gerald Lichtfuss Frederick Telschow Omega Chi Beta Today's activities are tomorrow's memories, and the Omega Cth have been working hard to make the school year of 1948349 a memorable one.

We had our share of Fun at bachelor parties, smokers, hayrides, and Formals. The eHorts expended on open house and pledging antics are included in our list of Fraternal ventures. The year also marked the Formation of Omega Chi as a campus chapter of the Valparaiso Sportsmen's Club. Working hand-in-hond with the Sportsmen, the Omegcs hope to aid Volpots athletic program by encouraging high school athletes to attend the university. The Omegas, chartered in 1946, were immediately successful cs 01 Fraternity, and plan to continue being so by carefully selecting its members From the leaders Ably represented in practically all c:c- ot tomorrow. tivitiesl the Omegqs claim sincere allegiance and service to God and Valparaiso University. 161 162 Phi Delta Psi Phi Delta Psi Fraternity pledges its loyal support to all the endeavors of the university, realizing the Fact that its success depends solely upon that of a greater Valparaiso. The school year began successfully For the Phi Psis, numbering half 0 hundred strong. We copped the first trophy by winning the intramural tootqu competition. Soon afterward, we increased our number by pledging nine upperclossmen. The social calendar for the year scored 0 win also. Every weekend we alternated with Stag and DragH parties held at the house and at the estate of Mr. Ed Skinner outside of town. The social season was climaxed by three semi-Formol oFFoirs-one at Homecoming, one at Christmas, and FinoHy, one just before graduation. The members 0F Phi Delta Psi strive to promote a spirit of good Fellowship and encourage scholastic as well as athletic eFHciency.

Coming back in the Fall before school opened to paint the houseaand our selves tooaand admiring the new outdoor Fireplace in the back yard. We envied the deep brown suntans of the thirteen members who had worked on the engineer- ing building during the summer. We welcomed the importation trom Detroit 0F Mildred, the little brown pup, and then sadly mourned her unaccountable disappear- ance. We were proud of our athletic accomplishments with high standings in intramural basketball, football, and bowling. Will you ever Forget that goofy cater- pillar that decorated the entire house front at Home- coming? That really was more fun than it looked. Modern improvements were made in the lounge in the way of a new tile Floor and new Furniture,- both have thatweH-used appearance now.

We comptetely revamped the house, per- mitting comFortable tiving quarters tor eight more actives, With the house showing OFF to best advantage, we re- ceived Homecoming and the reunion with Sig Chi alumni enthusiastically. Adding to the enthusiasm was the cantinued assurance and support from the Alumni Asso- 166 ciation. The Sig Chits characteristically showed a terrific display of athletic spirit throughout the year. We were active in Football and made a heavy contribution to the University bowling team. Less strenuoust perhaps, but adding to life at the house was the incessant ping- pong playing until 3 am. On the social side, we were proud of an Open House that sparkled as well as startled. With the entrance of the Saturday night dates in the club room, the Hillts best record selection was played. We had parties galore, including the Winter and Spring Formals. Never- theless an enviable scholastic record was maintained. Governor Schricker, Mr. Woldschmidt, and Mr. Eg- gerding were initiated as honorary members. With an even more strongly united group in a firm beliet of Christian brotherhood, President Pahl initiated his pro- gram tor a better Volpo and Sig Chi.
