Text from Pages 1 - 132 of the 1942 volume:

At the beginning of the school year of 1941-42 Wabash College faced the task of filling an empty chair—the chair of the presidency, made vacant by the death of President Hopkins. While a carefully selected committee deliberated over candidates, Dean Kendall guided Wabash through the difficult transi- tion period. wy = en GEORGE STOCKTON BURROUGHS ) , oS 1ts . The job of the liberal arts college was becoming increas- Wabash—“‘the lengthened shadow” of its past ideals in the midst of a confused world. Could Wabash find a man worthy of the memory of help rebuild a world. For this task Wabash ingly important. Wabash must build men to needed a leader. presidents; Wabash—an institution true to her past presidents and their ideals? p p LINU WHITTELSEY BALDWIN Jos—EPH FARRAND TUTTLE E CHARLES WHITE In this, the first year of World War II, the junior class presents the 1942 edition of The Wabash. This book may seem to contain, not a central theme, but many heterogeneous ideas. This can be explained, if not excused, by the statement that life at Wa- bash was like that this year. In October, Wabash inaugurated a new president. In December, the United States declared war on the axis powers. In January, the college administration pre- sented a plan for summer school at Wabash. Events moved rap- idly in 1941-42 and so did Wa- bash. Wobesh of 19 AS FOUNDED --- FOR ST TT] VV 1s Te ee mints 11 SHOULD LIVE FOREVER” “In the present chaotic conditions of the world we consider ourselves fortunate and blessed to have as our new leader a man of the experience and attainments of Dr. Sparks.” So spoke Dr. Lee McCanliss upon handing the charter to Dr. Sparks. Born in 1891 on a farm in Grant County, Indiana, Dr. Sparks spent his first twenty years in the public schools of Cul- ver, Indiana; in the local department store; on the night switch- board at the telephone exchange; in the baggage room of the Pennsylvania railroad at Marion, Indiana; and in the horse-less carriage garage of Karl Fisher in Indianapolis. Then he went into the Haywood Tire and Equipment Company as sales man- ager; into a motor school for drivers and mechanics of which he was co-owner; and into a tire-pump manufacturing ven- ture which led to the founding of Noblitt-Sparks, Incor- porated. In 1929 Dr. Sparks began the process of being formally educated. He secured his A. B. from Butler University in 1935, his M. A. from the University of Southern California in 1937, and his Ph. D. from the University of Southern California in 1941. In October of 1941 Dr. Sparks was inaugurated presi- dent of Wabash College. During his years in Indianapolis Dr. Sparks took a leading part in civic affairs. He was for four years teacher of the ““Min- ute Men”’ Sunday School Class of the First Baptist Church. He was president of the Indianapolis Rotary Club, a director and meeiNK HUGH SPARKS treasurer of the Park School for Boys, and a director of the In- dianapolis Athletic Club. He also took a varied part in the busi- ness life of Indianapolis. From 1932 to 1937 he held the office of president of City Foods, Inc., and a directorship in the Amer- ican National Bank, and from 1934 to 1935 he was a member of the Regional Labor Board of Indianapolis. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Beta Theta Pi, Phi Kappa Phi, Beta Gamma Sigma, and Delta Sigma. Recently he was appointed by Governor Schricker to the State Board of Edu- cation, K K K GEORGE VALENTIN A tribute to Wabash has been fortunate to have the guiding counsel of Dean Kendall through the last two perilous years. Upon the death of President Hopkins, Dean Kendall became acting president of Wabash. When Wabash chose Dr. Sparks as its president, Dean Kendall was active in helping to orient him. Then came World War Il; more than ever was Dean Kendall’s advice needed and forthcom- ing. April 2 Dean Kendall felt it his duty to aid actively in the war effort; he ac- cepted a commission as Lieutenant-Colonel in the United States Army. ho Left Wabash in 1941-’42 Charles Beckman, ’42 Jess Burks, ’42 Walter Carlson, 42 Charles Hardaway, 42 Donald Harrington, ’42 Royce McDonald, ’42 Thomas O’Dell, ’42 John Rettig, 42 John Withner, ’42 John Wolf, ’42 Richard Cassels, 43 Louis D’Amico, 743 Robert Jacoby, 43 William Shearman, °43 Frank Spencer, 43 Arthur Wright, ’43 John Armstrong, ’44 George Beckmeyer, 44 Gladson Bowman, ’44 Joseph Brumbach, ’44 Donald Gavit, ’44 Stanley Hines, °44 Fred Lowy, 44 David Noland, ’44 William Southwick, ’44 William Windle, °44 Robert Tresslar, ’45 ee CONTENTS Yes, Mr. President, here is Wabash— Wabash in War Year One. We have been introduced to you, your life, and your ideas; now, through this book, we wish to introduce you to life at Wabash and the “Wabash Idea’’. MR. PRESIDENT The “Little Giant” of 1942 A freshman obediently tips his “pot” to George Wilson George helps President Coffield pin ribbon on new pledge of Sphinx Club, Omar Faust ... the night before Homecoming on the Court House steps . . . a Senior Council meeting is opened by President Wilson ...so you won’t learn “Old Wabash”’. The class of ’42 chose by ballot George Wilson as the man who most nearly represented what a Wabash man should be. Here is why. George heads the Senior Council and was president of the junior class. He was the mite of the football team and its captain. He was also the star outfielder of the baseball team. Not a grind, George still took his school life seriously enough to be a real Wabash man. On the athletic field, in the class room, and as a campus lead- er he was a responsible worker. George Wilson will always be a true son of Wabash. Ten i ed nt The “Little Giant Builder” Dean Trippet lectures to his European History Class... Lt. Hayes tells the Dean of new opportunities in the Marine Corp’s Candidates Class . . . a serious problem is brought to Dean Trippet for solution .. . chapel announcements are part of each day’s work. It takes men to develop the kind of “Little Giants’? Wabash turns out year after year. These are the “Little Giant Builders”. The seniors chose Dean Trippet as the “Little Giant Builder of 1942”. By his example and teachings Dean Trippet inspires stu- dents to keep an open mind on all questions, to act judiciously, and to keep their eyes on the ball. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors—all bring their particular difficulties to Dean Trippet. In him they find a sympathetic listener, and more important, helpful suggestions. Dean Trippet—builder of real men of Wabash. TRIPEEM DEAN - OF EEG FREDERICK CARL DOMROESE Registrar Sitting: Miss Mildred Roach.

Whe first business of the discussion started with the election of a secretary for the duration. his worthy honor was bestowed upon Mr. Miller who accepted his honor with many smiles and thank-yous... The first point brought up by the discussion committee concerned the library. Those present yoted unanimously to keep the library open on Sunday afternoons and also to keep the downstairs section open on Sunday nights. The next Order of business brought for discussion was concerning the special- ization tor the Various courses in the curriculum. Much to the disgust of two- thirds Of) those present, the Economics Department was predominate during this discussion. Walker, am his blunt way, suggested that there seemed to be a eed fOr a course in Personnel Management. At this point, R. E. Banta, in his Usual timid voice, sugeested that Dr. Sparks, having hired more men than the @ntire U.S) Government, be allowed to say a few words along this line. The good Doctor responded nobly and it was finally decided that Economics was a good field—for those who like it... In teply to some masty remarks by Mr. Banta, who said he was afraid the re- modeling of Peck fall might bring about a ‘Play-Boy Atmosphere’, Black Bernie Stated that it was very; very doubtful if anything resembling a Country Club could be made out of Peck Hall.

Since then, Earl Dowd, the elected vice-president, has served in the president’s capacity. Dowd, a member of Lambda Chi Alpha, is an outstanding athlete, partici- pating in football, basketball, and track. The secretary-treasurer is Ray Greve, Kappa Sigma, who is also a member of the varsity basketball and track squads.

The members of the sophomore class faced a grim future with determination. The energy usually expended in freshman- sophomore fights made itself evident in more serious studying. To the sophomore the future meant only work. Graduation was no longer three years off, but two as a result of the summer school plan. Of course, there were cases of three or four sophomores be- ing viciously attacked by rugged freshmen. These incidents were net taken passively. But the sophomores studied.

Yet one can not generalize using this picture alone as a basis. For this picture was taken early in the year. As the months have passed and as these men have become accustomed to their new surroundings, more and more they have given evidence that they aren’t such a bad group of fellows after all. As we approach the end of the year, we see that these men have progressed and that they are becoming ready to take their place among the men of Wabash.

Mir) Davis wasethe coach of basketball and base- Dally) Pete Vaughan was head football coach and ath- [etic director. Mel Brewer, his assistant, was head line Coacnimeteotpalieand also track coach. Dr. Scott COached the cross-epuntry team. Mr. Paterson handled freshmen footballand basketball. The teams records tell of the efficiency of this com- Dination., We Pauw felt it—yes, and even Butler. The athletic programeof Wabash is admirable in that it Makes possible ton a great majority of the student body to participate. The success of this wide program is in the hands ofthese men. Sixty The managers were “Jeep” Grossman, football; Bob Welsch, basketball; Glenn Morrow, track, and Joe McAfee, baseball. Yell leaders Andy Diddle and Omar Faust did a good job in keeping up plenty of that ‘Wabash spirit’’. Two men, the “Jeep” and McAfee, are sophomores. Welsch and Morrow are juniors. This represents a new policy. Formerly, all managers were seniors. That means that these men did more than usual of the dirty work.

Little more than these words can express the 1941 edition of Coach ‘‘Pete” Vaughan’s annual gridironers—because in this finale Wabash exhibited a brand of football which she had previously not shown. The byword all year had been “if they play like they are able” it'll be a cinch. Only in the last game of the year did the boys toss theory aside and let action speak loudest. And it is this team—this team that gave its heart and soul for sixty minutes on Nov. 15—that will be given a place high in Wabash annals. The triumph over DePauw was the most glorious way our eleven could finish ‘‘Pete’s” 23rd year here as mentor. That tilt brought the season’s record to 5 wins, 3 losses and one tie. Our Indiana Conference rating showed 4 and 2, which was good for undisputed fifth place in the confer- ence. This was only slightly behind Butler and considerably ahead of DePauw. If any individuals should grab the yearbook spotlight one must agree that there were three who were consistently strong. Left end Pat Cassels, guard Ben Dankovis, and full- back Earl Dowd are the ones. “Pat’s’’ lightning-like thrusts ora oo 7° ‘a LIT? through enemy interference to make vicious tackles, Benny’s fine blocking and tackling and Big Earl’s line plunging were certainly the bulwarks of defense and offense throughout the year. To many others on the squad, however, goes considerable praise. To all the seniors, Fred Cofheld, Murph Walker, George Wilson, Harry Leach, Barnes Calwell and Bill Hall, do we bid farewell and doff our hats in salute to their splendid efforts under the scarlet banner. When a squad of 34 men reported to Pete and Mell early in the fall, the word got around that the Cavemen were going to be plenty tough. It looked as if there were going to be replacements aplenty for spots left by Tom Ryan, Walt Gray, Marty Quinn, Bill Sabo and the rest. It was said that we were going to have two lines of equal strength ready to toss into the fray, that although we would miss Gray—Leach, Dowd, Coffield and Windle would form a deceptive, power- ful backfield. Then the squad traveled to Terre Haute on Sept. 20 and met the Rose Poly Engineers and saw that their weakness of last year, pass defense, had reared its ugly head again. Ed McGovern, later chosen as one of the best backs in the state, kept our secondary too busy. The gun went off as he com- pleted his 22nd pass—out of 24.

Earl Dowd scored our lone tally and Onnie Walker started the season with a perfect boot from placement. Over in Ohio at Oxford there is a University called Miami. Sept. 27 was another hot and bright day—but not for Wa- bash. The Miami eleven walloped us 26 to 0—and the boys found out that they still had a lot to learn. Although the score in that tilt did look bad—in the last quarter of that game the Scarlet suddenly came to life and ran all over the place only to lose the ball on a fumble after a sustained drive to the Miami 5 yard line. Those few minutes of the last quarter of the Miami en- counter seemed to give the boys the idea that it was good stuft to march down the field. At least they certainly exhibited this principle against Marietta College, Ohio, the next Sat- urday. The boys from along the Ohio River never had a chance as stocky George Wilson sparked three touchdown drives, scoring twice himself on slashes over tackle. Dowd plunged over from the 2 yard line to account for the third marker and the score ended 19 to 0.

Although they trailed 6 to 0 midway in the final quarter, Tony DalSasso, | Harry Leach and Dowd started to churn and come with a | spurt to win 14 to 6. Leach cut through tackle and tossed a lateral to DalSasso, who tied the score, and Onnie Walker made it 7 by kicking from placement. Only a minute later, Dowd and Windle alternating moved down the field. Dowd hit pay dirt from the 9 to put the game on ice. The Little Giants battled a muddy field, a leaden ball, and | the Jaybirds of Lake Forest the next Saturday. After all ionirvoneneet “ GEORGE WILSON Sixty-Nine was said and done, both teams still had goose eggs on the scoreboard. This scoreless tie with Lake Forest was a moral victory in a way as the Chicagoans were favored to crush the Cavemen invaders. Raggedness marked the next tilt on the card—with Hanover. It was homecoming and Dr. Frank Sparks’ inauguration day, but the gridiron warriors turned in an unimpressive 20 to 6 victory over the Hilltoppers from down south. The Notre Dame system proved its worth, however, when all three touchdowns were scored by the fullback on line plunges after sustained drives. Bill Hall, re- servist, counted twice and Dowd added one more to his total. November dawned gray and dreary and on the month’s first day came Butler. The Butler game can be described in a very few words. Butler was primed for the game... Wabash wasn’t. From the start to the finish their linemen outcharged and outfought our front linesmen. Their backs drove harder and faster and more determinedly. The score: Butler, 26; Wabash, 0. The Iron Key still resides at Butler.

FRESHMEN Although Coach Paterson’s rhynie squad suffered defeat at the hands of both Butler and DePauw, as the sea- son progressed they were developing into a formidible ball club. Their fight, pep, and spirit were character- istic of Wabash teams in the past. Twice the Little Giant Freshmen fell—before Butler, 41-0, and before DePauw, 13-0. Both of these squads, however, were heavier and more ex- FOOTBALL perienced aggregations. Despite these losses, some of the rhynies proved they are definite var- sity material for next year. Trapp, Liddle, Cohn, and Danziger were most effective in holding the opposi- tions’ drivers to a minimum. In the backfield, Bludorn, Bado, and Aller- dice proved to be the most efficient. All of these men will be assets to the varsity squad next year. Seventy-One LONG (Guard ) MONTGOMERY (Forward ) DOWD (Forward ) LAS ROCHE (Center) GREVE (Forward ) KELLEY (Center) HESLER (Guard ) INGRAM (Guard ) fees K | The Little Giant basketball squad finished the 1941-1942 season having won twelve out of twenty-two games. They had won eight Indiana Conference games while losing but four, completing the season with a conference record of .667. They had competed with two Western Conference teams: Indiana and Purdue. They had defeated the traditional rival, Depauw. They had broken Butler’s Indiana Conference Victory string. And they had conquered the high- ly touted Chanute Field team. The roster included fourteen men, nine of whom were juniors and five of whom were sophomores. At the annual basketball banquet, twelve of these men were awarded their varsity letters. They included: Ray Greve, Waveland; John In- gram, Hammond; Carl Kelley, Mishawaka; Earl Dowd, Rockville; Ralph Hesler, Indianapolis; John Long, Chicago, Ill.; Edward LaRoche, Clinton; Malcolm Montgomery, Linden; and Marty Meyers, Brookville, juniors. Paul Bauman, Batesville; John Woodrow, Huntington, and Norman Mc- Daniel, South Bend, were the sophomore letter winners. Bob Welsch also received a letter for his services as team manager. The team was led by Ray Greve who, having been named on every Indiana State Conference team, was elected honorary captain at the end of the season. He led the team offensively, breaking his own scoring record of last year, placing second in total points among all conference players, and tallying 34 po‘nts in a single game. t Sew NO SMOKING Seventy-T hree Diya al ge ME YER WOODROW (Forward ) (Guard ) BAUMAN McDANIELS (Forward ) (Guard) RAN NC GIR IB, WB Seventy'-Five � eh The team scored 869 cone, a game. High scorers were Greve gomery, 76; Hesler, 73; Dowd, 55, pi Long, } There were several high spots in the season’s play. The tez two encounters with Depauw, winning on the home floor and losing by point margin away. In the first meeting, after sixty minutes of alve be od bas- ketball, the Scarlet, led by Greve, Ingram, and Hesler, came out on the long end , of a 38-32 score. However, in the return engagement, the outcome of which - ea wasn’t decided until the final minutes of play, the Tigers managed to eke out a one point victory over the Little Giants. As the season progressed, the team displayed continually a better brand of basketball. This is evident when we look back at the record. Playing inspired ball the Little Giants repulsed the highly heralded Chanute Field squad, which entered the Scarlet stronghold with a record of eleven victories in fourteen games against competition like Illinois and Butler. Most significant of all, however, was the Wabash victory over the Butler Bulldogs. Earlier in the season at Butler Fieldhouse, after having matched the Bulldogs basket for basket throughout the game, a last period Butler rally left the Scarlet on the short end of a 34-29 score. But on February 17 Butler, un- defeated in conference play since 1938 when the Little Giants set them back, came to Wabash only to be repulsed by a 42-35 margin. Establishing a lead early in the game, the Scarlet, paced by Ingram and Montgomery, drove on to victory. Though the team played better in some games than in others, under the ex- pert guidance of Coach Dale Davis, by the end of the season the team had de- veloped into a well-rounded, smooth-working ball club. As we examine the records, it is obvious that Davis’s first year as a coach at Wabash was a success- ful one. What the future holds in store for the Scarlet netters depends to a large degree upon Uncle Sam. All in all, however, in that none of the team will be graduated, prospects for next year are indeed promising. Once again we shall see the bril- liant scoring of Ray Greve, the splendid offensive and defensive work of Ingram and Montgomery, the rebounding of Kelley and Dowd. The return of these men, together with Long, LaRoche, McDaniel, Woodrow, Bauman, and a host of prom- ising freshmen, indicates a successful season for the Little Giants next year.

PreeorevAN BASKETBALL Again this year Coach Paterson has been developing a freshmen bas- ketball squad which gives evidence of sending welcome additions to the varsity next year. Although the rhynie netters won no ball games, by the end of the season they had be- come a smooth-working ball club. As in the past there was no definite first five. Coach Paterson experi- mented with various combinations, hoping to find the best material to bolster next year’s varsity net squad. Among the men who turned in the best performances were Hopewell, Etter, Friend, Miller, Fichtenwald, Cox, and Trapp. Some of these men will undoubtedly be seen on the court next year.

As we go to press the squad has not yet participated in any intercollegiate meets. Although it is impossible for us to know what kind of record they will make, it is possible for us to appraise the squad on the basis of returning lettermen. Red Forbes, senior distance runner, is back this year. Much weight may be placed upon his ability to make a good showing in the endurance runs. Once again we see Senior Barney Calwell heaving the shotput. Big Earl Dowd can be seen taking his turn at the shotput and the discus as well as in the high jump, broad jump, and relays. Red Moffat, a junior, is back in school this semester, and may be counted on to boost Wabash’s scores in the sprints. John Scott and Bernard Gronert should also place in the scoring in the short distance runs. Tom Drybrough and Ray Greve are back to participate in the high jump. The former is a broad jumper too, while the latter is a better than average pole vaulter. Seventy-Nine - ee. ea ee In addition to the men mentioned above, the following men are included on the roster: seniors, Dick Byerrum, Stu Rich; juniors, Miller Davis, ‘““No-no” Fisher, Bob Hess, Les Brookfield; and sophomores, Dick Niebur, Leland Moe, Dave McConnell, Dick Kingery, Paul Bauman, Bob Snyder, Carl Hartlege, Red Verzani, Bill Davis, and Red Johnson. Outstanding freshmen who will bolster the varsity next year are Luce, Ken- nedy, Mark, Benson, and West. Coach Brewer may be depended upon to insist upon hard work in practice every day, a policy which is sure to get results. This policy of hard work to- gether with the new interest in track fostered by Sigma Delta Psi is an indica- tion that track prospects for the next few years will be good.

LITTLE Gi Dale Davis, who did such a remarkable job in coaching the Little Giant bas- ketball squad to a successful season, is the new coach of the Wabash baseball team. Davis is well equipped to coach baseball, having won three varsity letters in baseball | while a student at Wabash and having played professional ball since then. As we go to press the season has not yet begun. But judging from Davis’s abil- ity as a coach and from the performance of the squad in practice, the season prom- ises to be a successful one. The team is well blessed with pitchers this year, the mound staff being one of the strongest that Wabash has had in recent years. Big Joe Miller, a senior, and Cecil Brunner, a junior, are slated to share the bulk of the hurl- ing duties. However, Monty Montgomery, another junior letterman, may be ex- pected to see much action on the mound. Lon Chaney, first string catcher from last year, can again be depended upon to hold down this assignment. He is ably reinforced by Bruce Trester, last year’s reserve catcher, and Don Swank, a sophomore. The “crack” infield consisting of Hurley at first base, Meyer at second, Radatz at shortstop, and Leach at third, is one of the best fielding infields that Wabash has had recently. The outfield is composed of veterans George Wilson, Bob Phillips, and Gene and Onnie Walker. Eighty-T wo _ Other members of the squad are pitchers, Harter and Woodrow; and utility infielders, Long, L. Wilson, and Shelley. The team is especially strong in the hitting department this year. Brunner, Radatz, Chaney, Wilson, and Phillips proved their ability to collect timely hits in last year’s play and are again slugging the ball in practice this year. Newcomers Hurley and Meyer have also shown their ability to hit in the clutch, during practice sessions.

The squad is again coached this year by Professor Walter Fertig. Although it is handicapped by the loss of two mainstays, it should shape up into a fairly good aggregation by the start of the season. The one senior on the squad is Bill Hall, a veteran with two years of varsity experience. However, there are several returning juniors who competed in in- tercollegiate play last year. They include: Frank Barnett, Don Mastin, Gay- lord Hubbard, Dave Siegle, Shad Thornton, and Dale Baker. All these men have proved themselves to be of better than fair ability, indicating that team strength should be better than in years past. Siegle, Hall Barnett, Thornton (missing: Mastin, Hubbard, and Coach Fertig). Eighty-Seven Captain Craven, Hall, Craven, Quick, Chase (missing: Kirk Miller, Freeman, and Pactwa). Go SO ears This is the team that wasn’t. The golf team met with such great success last year that all schools in the state were afraid even to partici- pate in the sport this year. Quote, Hod Craven. This was the year, too, that the golf team was going to beat Butler and win the Little State. Quote, Hod Craven. The squad was composed of Pactwa, Kirk Miller, Bill Hall, Sherman Hart- ing, Quick, Shumaker, and, of course, Hod Craven (captain). Eighty-Eight OO ee Again this year those men not skilled enough to participate in var- sity athletics were given the oppor- tunity to compete in intramural sports—tennis, touch football, bas- ketball, volleyball, ping pong, horse- shoes, softball, and track. Kingery Hall proved itself to be the best in touch football, having fin- ished the season without a defeat. Among the outstanding men in league play were McDaniel, Modlin, Scott, Mastin, and Hesler. When winter appeared, the weath- er demanded indoor sports, so vol- leyball and basketball began. The curtain fell on the volleyball sea- son as the Betas, defeating the Sigs Upper left: Intra-mural track. Upper right: Tennis champ Dick Watson. Bottom: Volley-ball champions—Byerrum, Boleman, Hines, Pritchett, Fisher, Craven. Eighty-Nine Upper: Football champions—Kingery Hall. Lower: Kingery beats Lambda Chis in final game. Ninety for the second time, annexed the crown. The struggle for basketball su- premacy was intense. Kingery and Forest Halls, both undefeated, were pitted against each other in the final encounter. However, in the end, the high scoring of Radatz and Zimdars proved too much for Forest Hall. Stoner, Craven, Prell, Buckhave, West, and Brunner were the out- standing sharpshooters in league com- petition. The Kappa Sigs won the ping pong title. Watson won the singles, and then combined with Morrow to de- feat Trester and Hubbard in doubles competition. The tennis tournament, begun last fall, will be completed with the ad- vent of warm weather. The various teams will also compete in horse- shoes, softball, and track. This year Sigma Delta Psi is award - ing a cup to the team winning the intramural track meet. However, the coveted Sphinx club trophy re- mains the major objective of the competing organizations. As we go to press Kingery Hall has the edge on the trophy. But the Betas, Forest Hall, and the Phi Gams are still in the race. With four events yet to be completed and with rivalry intense as it is, the finish promises to be close. Lower: General track clean-up in preparation for a new season.

Besides this added attraction Tommy Reynolds’ Band has been contracted to play for the dance. The Council laid down new rules concerning men who have de- pledged and also governing the length of rush season. This action is to be commended. Ninety-Four eee th iA PI Class of 42: Howard J.

SOPHOMORE- FRESHMAN INDEPENDENTS Phi Beta Kappa One hundred and sixty-six years ago as America struggled for freedom, an organization was founded which represented many of the ideals cherished to this day. “Fraternity, Morality, and Literature” is the motto of Phi Beta Kappa organized at the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1776. Little explanation is needed for this national honorary scholas- tic fraternity, for it is probably the leading Greek letter fra- ternity in America. Its object is the promotion of scholarship and friendship among students and graduates of American col- leges and universities. The Wabash chapter was established in 1898, being the second in the state. Its roster includes the names of men who have gained prominence in every walk of life. Through this medium the scholastic position of the college has gained an envious posi- tion. One-sixth of the graduating class is elected to Phi Beta Kappa each spring. In addition to this, at Wabash two juniors of very high standing may be chosen. Last year these men were Otto Anderson and Dick Byerrum.

The purpose of Blue Key is to back very worthy student movements and promote student activities. Only men who have done outstanding work in campus activities may qualify for membership. Last year Blue Key started out to screen the power house with lovely, large hemlock trees. Today one can see Dr. Bechtel’s small but determined tsuga canadense which promise to achieve their objective in a few decades. This year Blue Key has offered its services to the school to help in any way it can during the national emergency. Dick Byerrum is president, Charles Beckman is vice-president, and John Schroeder is secretary-treasurer. ? The Sphinx Club needs no introduction to Wabash men. The organization is an hon- orary one for men who are outstanding on the campus. Its “informal” initiations are almost revered as tradition. Any man who successfully completes his initiation should be honored. True, The Sphinx Club is an honored organization. It is also a feared one at the end of each year when it awards the traditional lily, shovel, straw, and brown derby to the most deserving seniors on Class Day. The Club also gives a cup for the best homecoming dec- orations and elects some professor to the hall of fame. Fred Coffield is president, George Wilson is vice-president, and Gale Christopher is secretary. One Hundred Seven In the fall of 1937 things began to happen so fast in this old world of ours that the student body felt the need of an additional organization for upper-class men interested in history and current events. Membership is restricted to those approved by the faculty and then voted on by the Club. Each meeting papers prepared by students are read, and an informal discussion follows. This year the club got off to a flying start with Bob Bracken’s paper on The Caribbean. The paper included Brainy Bob’s interesting yet platonic—we are sure—observations on Pan American sex. Gale Christopher is president, and Dick Freeman is secretary. The faculty sponsor is Dr. Gronert. The International Relations Club was organized in 1932 to create interest in current world problems. Since then the Club’s purpose, of necessity, has been changed. Today it exists in an attempt to keep up with current world problems—a full time job. The club will be glad to welcome into membership any of you bridge playing diplomats who have ready-made plans for a world panacea. Arm chair philosophers, and especially Division I men are also welcome. Larry Quick is president, Bob Welsch is secretary, and Louis Jones is program chairman.

September saw a quartet of worried swing connoisseurs grimly contemplating the future. This was the nucleus of the Wabash Collegians. They were determined though; they had a heritage, and they were out to make the most of it. Sauve, sleek swingmaster Joe Pritchett was the first find; from then on things began to happen. The Collegians entered their fall season with eleven solid music masters and singing swingerette, Miss Jane Lycett. I. U., DePauw, Purdue, Illinois and Indiana towns have all meant a lot of fun and money in the bank to the eighth edition of the Wabash Collegians. Collegians Ambassadors “It’s been our biggest year, too,” so say the Ambassadors. This is what they mean: An eleven piece band, new uniforms, singing star Jean Loveless, and the extra special attraction of the Four Melody Maids. Fifteen to twenty more jobs this year than last make the Ambassadors of Swing a busy | outfit. They have set many a foot to music in Indiana towns and played at the Shades all last summer. When the first semester finished, the Ambassadors had played at more | Purdue dances than any Purdue band itself. | One Hundred Nine First Row: Norton, Mielke, I Meyer, Sielaff, Rich, Boyer, War Second Row: Prof. Prell, Ba gartel, Prof. Domroese, Dick Fi er, Van Buskirk, Gronert, Blue.

It is offeriaigaaaibash men an opportunity to know the real Germany—the Germany of science, music, and literature. In the last World War many college students were denied the chance to study German; we hope we have become more tolerant in these last twenty-three years. Paul Mielke is president, Otto Anderson is vice-president, and Professor Domroese is secretary-treasurer. FRENCH Parlez-vous francais? If you do, you are in the French Club. The club is maintained to interest advanced French students in the life of the French people. This year has been high-lighted by Bud Pulver “‘ad libing” in French and Mrs. Leaven- worth’s fine cooking. There have also been several outside speakers, a student French quar- tet, and Dr. Leavenworth’s Christmas party. Bud Pulver is president, Miller Davis is secretary, and Buzz Kingery fought a losing battle to prevent his election as program chairman. One Hundred Ten + % ; GLEE CLUB This year the Glee Club has been unable to sport the large membership of previous years. But when singers are few, spirit is great. The Club, under Commander Woodard Romine, went on a full war time basis having as many as five rehearsals a week. Grand strategy has been to produce a finer club capable of filling any engagement. The outcome has been that the Glee Club is becoming one of Wabash’s most active organizations. The Indiana Society of Chicago and the Varsity Shows were important billings. Otto Anderson is president, and Dan Evans is secretary. Prof. Franz Prell is the pianist. BAND Once again Prof. Walt. Fertig and student director Royce McDonald ave led the Wabash College Band through a successful year. It seems as if our band has hit Upon a novel idea—swing music set to band tempo. Whether it be novel or trite, good Or bad, theypoint is that the student body likes it. That is all that counts. Small but mighty, the band has spirited Wabash men with their snappy marches at the games and does more than its share in supporting that good old Wabash Spirit.

Glee Club 1941 will go down in history as one of the Bachelor’s most eventful years. Opposition to the Bachelor was crystalized in the inauguration of the Informer, founded by Ralph Hesler and Jack O’Brien to run the “current campus add-sheet” forever off the campus. Several weeks of successful publication passed before the student body had occasion to mourn the Informer’s passing. These were trying times for the Bachelor, but we believe an era of finer and fairer journalism is the result. Bernard Gronert and Robert Ormes were editors this year, and Andy Diddle was busi- ness manager. One Hundred Twelve Bachelor Editorial Staff First Row: Pactwa, Edinger, Ormes, Harter.

No Wabash publication enjoys a reputation like the Caveman, college humor magazine. The Caveman does its full share in seeing that the Wabash man gets a liberal, well bal- anced education.

Threatened with extinction, The Caveman was forced to modify its outlook this year. This change has been necessary to leave some imagination in life. Frank Barnett has been editor, and Dave Fisher was business manager. One Hundred Thirteen Pi Delta Epsilon Front Row: Byerrum, Mr. Harvey, Whitney, Evans.

TAU KAPPA ADLPETAM i ayer armen and orators look forward to a chance to sport the shiny gold key of Tau Kappa Alpha, national honorary speech fraternity. There are almost one hundred chapters in America. Wabash enjoys the distinction of being a charter chapter and of being represented by two of the original eleven founders. Incidentally, all eleven founders were members of the same fraternity; however, the organization has grown to include all men of exceptional speaking ability. The officers of the Wabash chapter are: President, Gale Christopher, and vice-president, ¢ John Parkhurst. PI DELTA EPSILON nea who tve done outstanding work on campus publications may qualify for membership in Pi Delta Epsilon, national honorary journalistic fraternity. For the past few years, Pi Delt has been more honorary that journalistic. However, dynamic Henry Schroeder and his cohort Larry Quick have seen to it that future Wabash generations will find here a militant and constructive organ- ization. Increased membership and extensive reorganization promise that Pi Delta Epsilon will begin to play a major role among Wabash honoraries. One Hundred Fourteen THE WABASH The Wabash is that publication which strives to embody in one hundred and thirty pages all of importance that happens in an entire school year. The Wabash also does its share in preventing intellectual stagnation by fur- nishing annual material for scholarly literary critics without portfolio. Four sophomores and a staff of efficient freshmen have worked with the editor to produce this year’s Annual. Yours is the decision as to whether or not it is a successful one. ALPHA PI Alpha Pi is that select organization composed of outstanding men who are brave enough to spend their afternoons in a Division I lab. This year the club has featured scientific movies in its meetings. The theory is that science majors are so busy trying to organize the inorganic that they have little time for an outside movie. The climax of the year is the annual spring dinner party featuring an outstanding guest speaker. Dick Byerrum is this year’s president, and Paul Mielke is secretary-treasurer.

(Wizzard) Shearer to justify its existence and “un-biased” actions. The super- vising of finances of all publications and the selection of editors and business managers are its important duties. Student members of the board are selected from Pi Delta Epsilon, and the president of Pi Delt is automatically chairman of the board. John Schroeder is this year’s presi- dent, and Bernard Gronert is secretary. Professors Hutsinpillar, Shearer, and Harvey are faculty advisors. e Be : What’s news on the Wabash front? Just ask the News Bureau. Whether you won the game, out-talked the other fellow, or broke your leg in an intra-mural game, the chances are better than even that the home folks will read about it in the local gazette. Che Bureau will probably become increasingly important with the development of the school’s new enrollment and publicity drive. Ralph Hesler has again efficiently directed the News Bureau except for his short vacation to cover the war front. One Hundred Sixteen First Row: Soshnick, Whitney, Pro- fessor Phillips, Evans. Back Row: Freeman, Geer, Ward, Parkhurst. Debate Speakers Bureau Front Row: Jones, Dr. Brigance, Bracken. Back Row: Parkhurst, Welsch. Should the government regulate the labor unions? It took Congress a long time to decide, but not the Wabash College Debate Squad. Every man had a definite opinion (He had to), and he wasn’t afraid to state it. For three months ten weary Wabash men labored over the labor question. By the middle of March there was at least one thing certain—these men would get their hard earned three hours credit. This was all that mattered now. Season’s record: 19 victories; 7 loses. The annual Manchester Tournament and DePauw-Earlham-Wabash triangle were the year’s highlights. The four men who won the Triangle received the Hinkle C. Hays All- College Debater’s Award. These men were: Dan Evans, John Parkhurst, Richard Free- man, and John Whitney. One hundred times a year the oldest speakers’ bureau in the country sends out its men over Indiana and adjoining states. Topics vary from Murphy Walker’s “Hypnotism” to Deacon Moore’s “Religion”. They prove that these are no uninteresting topics, just un- interesting speakers. (The speeches are all good—The Doctor sees to that.) Speakers are furnished for service clubs, women’s clubs, parent-teachers’ associations, churches, high schools, etc. Dr. Brigance started the bureau in 1927. 2 Third Row: Carrithers, Holt, ers, Faust. 4 Scarlet Masgr e Omega First Row: McDaniels, Leach, De- Caro, Mastin, Gronert.

OMEGA With well over one hundred independent men on the campus, Wabash felt the need of an organization which would recognize independents who are outstanding in campus activities. Omega was organized in 1927 to meet this need. This year Omega sponsored a pre-final ““Blue-Book Hop” designed to afford a last minute rest before first semester finals. The dance, no doubt, put every man at the peak of his efhciency. Omega is also a helping hand behind independent intramural teams. Joe DeCaro heads Omega this year, Otto Anderson is vice-president, and Bill Degitz is secretary. One Hundred Eighteen ———a—s17 7, 7 ? -_ ae BOT ANY It wasn’t hard to overlook the Botany Club on the last page of the 1940 Annual. This year the club deserves a more important place. This organization is the oldest departmental club on the campus, and enthusiastic ““Doc”’ Bechtel is out to prove that old age is no handicap. The Botany Club is just in its second childhood. The 1941-2 season was opened with a joint field trip with DePauw (marvelous attendance) and a series of lectures on “Corn”. Don Yoder is president, Dick Cowan is vice-president, and Leslie Lee is secretary. SIGMA DELTA PSI Sigma Delta Psi, national honorary athletic fraternity, is the baby in the family of Wabash activities. This year the club spon- sored an intramural track meet and donated the cup.

WHAT THEY SAID AT WABASH IN 1942 Everyone coaches at Wabash . . Hei Hardly green at all . . Oh, brother Knocked out Bo). EtG: One Hundred Twenty College War Program The college did much to integrate its program with the government’s way program. Many changes were made in the curriculum to make Wabash mena | more valuable to the army, navy, and air force. Special mathematics cours to prepare men for the navy and marine corps were instituted, and new physic classes were organized for men interested in the signal corps. The most important change was the plan for a summer session. Students wil register June 13th and the summer session will last eight weeks. Classes wil meet five days a week for sixty minute periods. Three hours credits will be given for attending one period every day for the eight weeks. It is possible to take six to eight hours credit. In addition to the credit courses offered, typewriting, bookkeeping, and office work are to be offered if sufficient interest is shown by the registrants. Such men could become yeoman and do clerical work for either the army or navy. Wabash College Forum on the Lilly Foundation A comprehensive program designed to aid Indiana citizens in determining the course by which they may be of maximum benefit to the United States in time of war and in the peace which follows, was announced in the middle of March. The forum’s activities, all of which were open to the public free of charge, included the following: 1. A series of six addresses and ‘“‘town hall’? forums, conducted in Lebanon, Frankfort, Noblesville, Rockville, Delphi, and Attica. These programs were conducted by Dr. Frank H. Sparks, Dr. T. G. Gronert, Dr. William N. Brigance, Dr. J. I. Osborne, Dean Byron K. Trippet, Professor Myron G. Phillips, and Professor James J. Paterson. 2. Addresses by speakers of national reputation appeared on the Wabash cam- pus, in Indianapolis, and in other central Indiana cities. 3. A corps of speakers were provided to deliver addresses on the general sub- ject of American citizenship. 4. A short course in the background and duties of American citizenship was to be given on the Wabash campus each semester by a visiting professor. §. Publication and distribution of significant speeches and writings on the subject of American citizenship. Dr. Insley Osborne, chairman of the faculty committee, declared that the pur- pose of the Forum was to incite serious thinking on these five important points: “1. The comparative happy situation of America, thanks to our magnificent territory, our wealth of resources and to the enterprise and wisdom of our fore- bears; One Hundred Twenty-One ek The fact chat ni swift rome : citizens fuller information and more tol rant: 4 ake democracy work; j “4, The present dangers and desirable future direction oe our fore ign policy; ca “5, The fact that our people have so far failed to take advantage of the - many portunities which our country offers.” ne? This program is additional evidence that the ‘Wabash Idea” is continuing t« @ row and to influence an ever increasing number of people. Wabash leaders have _ lways been interested in the problems of the present and future. Wabash Col- a! lege is now making an attempt to get a greater number of people thinking about | ; those problems. These men feel that if people can be detached from the tyranny — of their vocations and forget “number one” long enough to think about the vast general problems, a long stride will have been made toward the solving of these problems. ® Informer In the dawn of October 10, the Informer made its debut into Wabash journal- istic circles. December 5, the Informer made its departure from those same circles. Co-founder Ralph Hesler wrote on December 5, “The Informer carried the banner of an independent, crusading, superior newspaper high. Never once did that banner touch the dirt. Today that banner is being lowered—lowered, to be folded carefully and placed on the altar of democracy.” Under the guise of attempting to improve journalistic standards of Wabash campus publications the Imformer lashed out at the Bachelor. Founders Jack O’Brien and Ralph Hesler hit upon the brilliant idea of calling the Bachelor the “current campus ad-sheet”’. This attack they continued until their last dying day, eight weeks later. The Informer Platform included the following planks: 1. Introduction on this campus of a new era in superior journalism. 2. Precise presentation of Wabash College news, and the facts behind its news. 3. Guaranty of equal representation in this publication to all organizations, both independent and fraternal, and to all members of the faculty and student body. 4. Condemnation and exposure of misuse of authority vested in any individual or group. 5. Eventual replacement of the Bachelor, current campus ad-sheet, by the Informer, as the Official Voice of Wabash Men. Thus, this amateur Chicago Tribune was launched. This attempt to better jcurnalism on the campus was entirely sincere, and for that fact O’Brien and Hesler are not to be condemned. They went into this ven- ture with all the Wabash spirit that is so much talked about. In spite of great obstacles they were able to put out eight issues, sometimes at their expense. Wa- bash College is better off because these two men saw a job to do and did it. One Hundred Twenty-Two : - pr ta ( . . i snes ine _ A-Loar Bakine Co.
