SPARKS, President The school year of 1946-47 was a year of expansion for Wabash College with Dr. Frank Sparks pressing his many plans for the college. It was the first year of operation of the sponsored scholarship grants; it was a year that saw Waugh Hall near completion despite many shortages; it was a year that saw many new names on the faculty. Dr. Sparks combed the colleges and the universities of the country and came up with professors Dyer, Forbes, Gallardo, Johnson, Laubengayer, Stollberg, Van Sickle, West, Zeleniak; he brought back Fertig, Mielke, Robinson, Shearer, and Wildermuth; and he added Harmeson, McGaughey, and Grisch to the athletic department. Yes, it was a big year, a year of growth and expansion, for Wabash and for Dr. Sparks. Page Fight BYRON K. TRIPPET, Dean For Byron K. Trippet 1946-47 was his first full year in the Dean’s chair since he had left the Navy. Inevitably a host of probiems found their way to his office. Enrollment was up, the highest in the school’s history; veterans of military service had many problems; housing was difficult to get, particularly for married men; students had had their college work distorted by war service and the readjustment of their plans was seldom simple; old-time activities and old-time traditions were to be revived; the curriculum needed and got revision. To these and the many other problems of the college Dean Trippet invariably brought sensitive understanding, swift intelligence, and steadiness of purpose. And always he kept one clear purpose ahead of all others—the growth and welfare of the students as individuals. Page Nine ROBERT S. HARVEY W.

George McGaughey, foctee Bucknell star and Lafayette College line coach, was to handle our Feira d wall. A squad of 74 from 10 states reported for action and Kane House became the football bar- racks those two weeks prior to school’s start. Freshmen were again eligible for varsity compe- tition, and coupled with the large number of former Little Giants returned from service, the out- look was bright. WABASH 13 — INDIANA STATE 0 It was a cautious, and at times powerful looking Wabash which made “Harmie’s” debut into the Indiana Collegiate Conference a success as they rolled over the Sycamores 13-0 in the dust at Terre Haute. “Mel Pfeifer, a rhynie, scored both the touchdowns, tallying the first marker in the second quarter following Frank Roman’s long return of a punt to the State 14. His second score came early in the fouxth period on a 50 yrrd runback of an intercepted pass. Harold Mc- Kinney added the extra point. Wabash had kept the Sycamores on the defensive throughout the first half lar gely through the coffin-corner kicking of Jim Allerdice. Rariden Henrioulle McCormick McCord es lll ll WABASH 22 — FRANKLIN 7 The Little Giants soared into undisputed first place in the Indiana Conference the following Saturday, whipping a “pass-mad” Franklin 22-7 as players and spectators alike sweltered in the 88° heat at Ingalls Field. Wabash struck lightning fast as a screen pass from Allerdice to Roman went 50 yards for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage. Following an exchange of punts Frank Duchon caught Gallant of Franklin flat-footed in the end zone for a safety. Just before the quarter ended Norman Wilson dashed 45 yards to the Franklin 30 from where Roman skirted right end and danced down the sidelines to pay dirt. McKinney’s conversion was good and Wabash led 15-0. The glee was short lived however as Dunker flipped a pass to Davidson, who also converted for the Grizzlies midway in the second period, and the sub came out. ’ Wilson Roman W.- Duchon The third quarter saw Franklin in Wabash territory most of the time, moving to the eight yard . line once, where the Little Giants held them for downs. Midway in the quarter Allerdice slashed off tackle for 23 yards to the two, from where Wilson bulled his way across on the next play for the final tally. McKinney’s kick was good. WABASH 6 — BALL STATE 0 Cashing in on a stolen ball by Bill Duchon, the Little Giants spoiled Ball State’s homecoming and strengthened their strange-hold on first place in the conference as they defeated the Car- dinals 6-0. With the second quarter approaching a close, Duchon plucked the ball from the arms of Keiser of Ball State on the Cardinal 29. Following a pass to set up the play, McKinney lugged the pigskin to the four yard line on an end-around. Allerdice drove through the center of the line for the touchdown. Stone blocked McKinney’s kick. It was a considerably tougher Ball State line in the second half and Wabash only threatened Morton Lankton A. Wright Martin ccc cS once. Late in the third quarter the Little Giants received the ball on the 26 following a poor quick kick and after gaining only one yard in three trys, McKinney attempted another field goal, but the kick was short. WABASH 34 — ROSE POLY 0 Wabash firmiy entrenched itself in first place as they smashed to a decisive 34-0 win over Rose Poly on Ingalls Field the following week. “Harmie” cleaned the bench of all but cripples, but even the reserves pushed across two markers in the final minutes. On the second exchange of punts following, Frank Roman raked the ball in on his own seven yard line and started up the eastern sidelines, cut to midfield and won the race with the Rose Poly backs going away. helped by great blocking. McKinney added another point. After receiving the kickoff the Engineers were forced to punt, the ball being downed on the Wabash 20. On the second play Tom Martin sliced through left tackle, gunned it for the sidelines and out-distanced the field. Again Rose Poly men littered the path, Joe Lovas blocking three of them. “Automatic Lou” Mc- Kinney again converted. Ekstedt Rice Hoganson Gridley The second half had hardly begun before John Gridley blocked a punt on the Engineer 10, and Allerdice knifed off tackle for another case of Wheaties. Lou did it again, 21-0. The fourth and fifth touchdowns went to Jay Gray and George Rariden. WABASH 16 — CENTRE 0 Another homecoming—another Wabash victory—this time the Scarlet went below the Mason- Dixon line to exhibit their specialty—spoiling homecoming celebrations—as they handed Cen- tre’s “Prayin’ Colonels” a 16-0 lacing. Two 13-yard Biichidowa sprints and a field goal account- ed for the points. The second time Wabash got their hands on the ball they sent McKinney on the end-around play again, climaxing a 70- yard drive. The score jumped to 7-0 as “Auto- matic Lou” added the extra one also. Wabash tallied again before the rest as Allerdice rammed his way over left guard from the 13. Putting a finale on a long third period drive, Norm Wil- son added a field ‘goal from the 15-vard nen to end the day’s scoring. Wabash was now one of the 28 meted teams left in the nation, and only 7 points had heal scored on them in five games—tongues were wagging. BUTLER 25 — WABASH The excitement of the 9,000 at the Butler Bowl reached almost fever degree just prior to the kickoff of this game which would virtually determine the conference champion for Allerdice F. Duchon Knutson Green 1946. Both teams were keyed to fighting pitch in this 56-year-old rivalry, and it was “Tl bet you even, and take your choice!” From the opening whistle, however, it was apparent the Little Giants were up against a football machine that was functioning flawlessly. Butler’s Williams boys broke the ice with five minutes left in the quarter, Gobby passing to Orville from the 28-yard line. Early in the second quarter Allerdice broke into the clear, but Orville caught him from behind on the Bulldog 42. Wabash began to march, and with fourth down on the 13, Norm Wilson cut off tackle, shook two tacklers and scored standing up. Wilson sent Wa- bash to the fore with the boot. It took Butler only 10 plays to score again though, McLinn tossing a pass to Sylvester in the end zone. McLinn’s kick was good and the half Bded 13-7. Following the fistcuffs and National Anthem, Butler drove to the Wabash two in 12 plays. The line he held three times and people wondered if this was going to be a repeat perfor- Pfeiffer itter Plakos Linnety mance of the Centre stand. But Moriarity made the last six inches and the only ground score of the year on Wabash. Later in the period Gray intercepted a Bulldog aerial and raced to the 34, but Butler grabbed an Allerdice heave on the next play and the final quarter opened 19-7. Then big Tom Sleet powered and powered to the Wabash 11 from where McLinn tossed a pass with the wet ball to McHugh that convinced all they had practiced together for seven years. Thus the Iron Key went to Butler 25-7. WABASH 20 — LAKE FOREST 0 Taking up where they left off against Centre, the Little Giants overwhelmed the Jaybirds of Lake Forest 20-9 in the mud before a shivering C’ville crowd. Bill Hoganson recovered a Jay- bird fumble in the first period on the 20, and Gray plowed over from the six yard line three plays later. Wilson, the new “golden toe,” made it 7-0, which it remained till the half. Joel Leffel J. Wright Heckaman Three plays after Wabash received the ball at the start of the third quarter, Frank Roman took the ball on his own 43 and threaded his way 57 yards to the goal on a “picture book” run. Again Wilson converted. The scoring ended early in the fourth quarter when Ritter battled his way over from the two following Montgomery's 51-yard return of a Lake Forest punt to the 12 yard line. WABASH 26 — DePAUW 0 The feature event of the elaborate festivities marking the first postwar Wabash homecoming was the 54th renewal of the oldest continuous rivalry “west of the Alleghenies”—and mud, rain, and 750 DePauw students besides the Tiger football machine couldn’t stop “Harmie’s” real “Little Giants” today as they sloshed to a 26-0 win “for Pete.” Norm Wilson skirted the sidelines for 48 yards to pay dirt the second time Wabash got the ball. His kick was good. Wabash began to drive and reached the one yard line, but fumbled. enna ay Kulik Paich Ambuhl FOOTBALL SQUAD ’47 First row, left to right: Collings, Peel, Drabik, Heckaman, Joe’, Henrioulle, Linnetty, Knutson, Pfeifer, Harmeson.

A DePauw punt went out on the 29 and the Little Giants backs hammered away a couple of yards at a time till they reached the one again. This time Wilson plunged over and the score stood 13-0. DePauw began to smash, and when the gun ended the half they were on the Scar- let two—the last threat the Tigers were to make. In the first series of downs following the “pig chase,” Roman intercepted a Tiger aerial and streaked to the 12. Allerdice steamrollered into the end zone from the three. With the Tigers on the Wabash 13, Piquette rifled a pass to Babcock, but Don Knutson was in the line of fire on the five and grabbed the ball out of mid air. During the next few seconds the crowd was treated to the longest jaunt of the year—95 yards to be exact, and the man who had scored 48 points in four games in 1944 had proved he wasn’t a “has been.” Wright's kick was good. Pete took a free ride toward the dressing room and the Monon Bell received a work out down in the dressing room—proudly tolling; 7 wins—one defeat—6 shut outs.

A bucket barrage by Hariilton and Wallace sent Indiana’s “Hurrying Hoosiers” into an early 13-4 lead they never relinquished. After fighting off a game second: half rally that brought Wabash to within ten points, 44-34, Indiana pulled away from the tiring Little Giants to win 69-46.

On the victory trail again, Wabash defeated Illinois Normal 59-40 to make it a clean sweep against Illinois opposition. Norm Young poured 20 points through the hoop to lead the Scarlet. Entering the game with 40 seconds left to play, Vic Simmons, in true Paul Bunyan style, sank the winning basket as Wabash socked Franklin 56-55 to run the victory string to two. A!

Gray Risley Hutchins Starting the new year differentiy, Wabash pulled another one out of the fire as it edged Ohio Wesleyan 45-44. After blowing a 42-37 lead and falling behind 44-42, N. Young canned one in the last second and was fouls doing it. Led by Zeke Kennedy’s 18 points, the Little Giants mauled Earlham 61-45, coasting to victory from a 33-15 half time lead. Wabash stretched its string to three by downing Ball State 61-40 at Muncie. Starting early and maintaining at least a ten point lead all the way, the Scarlet was never in eile. DePauw 61 Weash 50. DePauw led 35-28 at halftime, but the Little Giants tied it up at 42 McVey as Cloncs contributed four straight buckets. Then it was that the atmosphere and Tom Beck let the Tigers slowly move away to victory. Cloncs collected 16, and Beck 17 and Gardener 14 for the. Tigers. Ohio Wesleyan ran its winning streak to eight as they downed the touring Scarlet 85-64.

Wagner Riggle Hopkins Although Norm Young hit for 16 points, Earlham wreaked revenge on the Cavemen 47-46 on Pegg’s last second free toss; and the disastrous road trip ended. Before a sardined crowd of 1800 into the gym the Scarlet showed they had saved a lot for Butler, but not enough, as the Bulldogs pulled away to a 53-40 win. As the second period erated Clones hit 4 for 4 and fiocsion and McVey added one apiece to narrow the mar gin to 34-32. They traded point for point to 40-37 Butler with the crowd howling.

Norm and John Young and Kennedy how- ever added free throws to save the night. Wabash turned loose its scoring power to down Kalamazoo 61-51. The Little Giants led 29-20 at the half and stretched it to 56-39 before the reserves took over. After trailing the Little Giants for the first twelve minutes, Maas and O'Brien produced a pair of fielders apiece to give Butler most of the margin it needed to lead 37-24 at the half. Ah, sweet revenge! Wabash collared 6’ 10” Jim Springer and Canterbury 49-43 in an over- time. After leading 24-10 at the intermission, Wabash saw Springer repeatedly get loose under the basket to almost sew up the ball game. A shot by Jay Gray, in the air at the gun, sent the game into the extra period. Too much Red Gardner (18 points) as DePauw flopped the Scarlet 62-49 to win the state title and a bid to the National Intercollegiate. (They had belted Butler by 10 points the week be- fore.) The torrid first half ended 31-29 DPU, after which the Tigers moved to 41-30 with 5 lightning baskets that stunned the crowd. A Little Giant bid brought the count to 45-38, but the Tigers thwarted it and coasted in. Cloncs looped in 13 to pace the Cavemen, 11 in the sizzling first half.

Robert Barta, Albert Gavit, William Leser, John Hannaford, George Horton, and George Dyslin were the seniors chosen for this honor, and Charles Petty was the junior. Charles Svitavsky was chosen in his junior year. There are only three Phi Beta Kappa cha pters in the state; at Indiana University, DePauw University, and Wabash. RHODES SCHOLAR Frank Barnett, Wabash 1943 was chosen as the Rhodes Scholar winner from this district. Charles Svitavsky was also a candidate for the honor. Frank was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and was a major in Division IV. Page Sixty-seven Sponsored Scholarships Official launching of the sponsored scholarship plan, which has already attracted national attention, took place at a dinner at the Crawfordsville Country Club. The dinner was attended by the winning students and execu- tives of the sponsoring plants and companies. The plan is based on the belief of President Sparks that liberal arts colleges such as Wabash provide a better foundation for leaders than specialized schools, and that private business organizations should help privately-financed instt- tutions. Under this plan, each participating company contributes $1,200 a year. From this fund a freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior receive $200 each. The remaining $400 goes into the operating fund of the college. A student is selected on the basis of his interest in a sponsoring company and with the expectation that he will remain closely associated with it through- out his college career and after graduation.

Bachelor Business Staff Like all other campus publications, The Bachelor must depend on advertising and other sources of income to pay for its existence. This year, under the management of Phil Leffel, the business staff of The Bachelor provided the wherewithal for the regular issues as well as the “Scarlet Rash” issue. Page Ninety The Bachelor Editorial Staff The Bachelor is the voice of the student body. The necessity of paying for the paper through advertising narrows the space that is available for news pur- poses, but since the paper’s revival after the war, the staff has been able to pre- sent sustained feature coverage of college activities. The climax of the year was the ‘‘Scarlet Rash” edition at Pan-Hel. First row, left to right: Mercer, Joel, Haas, Andersen, Stuart, Givens.

After many rocky paths had been traversed, the magazine evolved a line in accord with the Wabash policy of liberal arts education and saw to it, especially at Pan-Hel time, that no phase . of the education was neglected. Bob Schmuhl, Bill Clark, and Jack Long working with other members of the staff brightened the working day at Wabash. Page Ninety-three The Collegians The Collegians were revived this year as the campus musical organization. Primarily a dance band, many of the members filled in to provide a part- time band for football and basketball games.

Seventy-five wives met monthly at the college for business and social meet- ings. The club sponsored several dances and a picnic during the year. The officers were: Mrs. L. E. Smith, president; Mrs. R. M. Blunk, vice presi- dent; Mrs. D. W. Mastin, secretary; and Mrs. E. O. Davisson, treasurer. Mrs. C. L. Miller was elected president, and Mrs. J. S. Long secretary for the spring semester. Four small interest clubs were formed to supplement the activities of the main organization; a contract bridge club, a beginners bridge club, a mothers club, and a study club. Page Ninety-five Der Deutsche Verein Der Deutsche Verein is the German Club at Wabash College. The pur- pose of the club is to further an understanding of the German language, his- tory, and culture beyond the scope of the classroom. The club maintains a social program as well as an educational one. Pro- fessor Domroese is the advisor and was responsible for the resumption of club activities after the war lag.

Now that these groups are fully organized and operating again independently, this club will be abandoned. It has served its purpose. — The panel discussion groups considered the problems of compulsory mili- tary training, labor, and Russia as did the debating teams. Speakers Bureau had a large schedule as well. Page Ninety-seven First row, left to right: Cherry, Olive, Linn, Maxwell, Givens, Butler, Meyer, Peel, Sweeney, Little.

Glee Club After a slow start, since a complete organization had to be activated, the Glee Club made several highly successful appearances. They opened the season with a joint sing at Purdue with the Purdue Glee Club. Following this they appeared before the Kiwanis Club in Crawfordsville, and the Alumni Associa- tion meeting in Chicago. A local concert followed, and then a radio broadcast of one-half an hour from the Purdue radio station. The club was under the direction of Mickey McGuire of Purdue and was sparked in organization by Robert Shepler. Professor Paterson filled the posi- tion of faculty sponsor. Page Ninety-eight International Relations Club The International Relations Club is organized for the purpose of conducting discussions on international and public affairs. A special shelf at the library holds the clubs’ library of almost two hundred volumes. Every year the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace contributes fifteen books. Professor Gronert is the faculty sponsor of the club and James Moffat was president this year. The members of the club made a trip this year to a con- clave of similar clubs held in Indianapolis.

They are in charge of the Pan-Hel Dance, the decorations, letting the concessions, selling tickets, picking the bands and financing the affair. The chairman of the council this year was Ben Baker, a member of Beta Theta Pi, and the dance was highly successful. Sonny Dunham was picked as the name band to play at Pen-Hel, by the council. Page One Hundred Pi Delta Epsilon Pi Delta Epsilon is a national honorary fraternity for students of Journalism. Men who have done outstanding work on campus publications may qualify for membership.

The play that was given was “Ten Little Indians” and went off very successful ly. Professor Phillips is faculty advisor and James Ebenholtz was president, Hugh Sutton, vice-president, and Walt Williams, business manager. Page One Hundred Two The Senior Council The Senior Council is the student group chosen to represent the student body. One man is chosen for the council from each of the fraternities on the campus and also one independent. Among its various duties is the one of ‘passing the word” to freshmen. The universality of their dicta in the matter of learning words to the college songs is well known. Long-remembered, too, are the cries of “hair, hair” that follow the luckless rhynie who has been derelict in this matter. First row, left to right: Svitavsky, Hannaford, Mastin, Bayless.

The Sphinx Club The Sphinx Club is an honorary association of outstanding men on the campus. Each year the club awards a cup for the best homecoming decora- tions. At Class Day they make the appropriate awards of the lily, the shovel, and the big and little straws to the most deserving members of the senior class. This year awards were made to all varsity football and basketball men in terms of miniature gold balls for participation. Officers this year were James Moffat, president; James Allerdice, vice-presi- dent; John Gridley, secretary-treasurer. Page One Hundred Four W-Men’s Club This club includes all major award winners in varsity athletics.

The Wabash These are the men who put this book together. The business staff was headed by Robert Shepler and the editorial by Joel Barrett. Sutton, Davisson, and Miller worked on the senior section, while Jack Joel did the job on sports. Charles Miller was also active in providing the activity stories. Rober: Barta contributed his version of “Over the Counter.” John Hauck did the art work. In one hundred and twenty pages the staff has tried to picture Wabash in a manner that readers will remember. Page One Hundred Sia wr So am —_ as VJ “Over the Counter’ By BoB BARTA One of the much talked about necessities of Wabash was a return of the old “do or die” spirit. All sorts of mournful croakers predicted the spirit would never come back. One of the biggest contributors toward developing that old pre-war carefree attitude was the Canteen in Forest Hall. In September the two rooms, a stove, coffee maker or two, a coke case and ice cream container were set up with the idea of dispensing light snacks which the returning G.I. was supposed to have been craving. The idea was slow in catching fire. For at least 36 hours many of the men had no idea what or where Forest Hall was. Then the word got around. And from that time till June the Mural Room (courtesy of R. E. Banta) and the spacious and roomy main dining salon were crowded. Some will say that the Canteen was the nerve center of Wabash. Not even the Chapel could brag of larger crowds. The conversation was seasonal, sen- sational and well seasoned with choice but typical remarks by typical, smooth Cavemen. It was the place you could put your feet on the wall, throw cigarettes around like a millionaire, air any and every opinion in whatever type of grammar you saw fit to use. There was no law or restraint practiced in the Canteen. Pure, raw democracy held sway. If you were late to an eight o’clock (or cut it) you could always find somebody to chin with. Later in the morning when some of the faculty were free, economic arguments developed which gradually absorbed all listeners. Sports and the fair ones were topics of discussion, but not to the degree that they were before the War. Anyone who had anything to say could and generally did say it. One red hot quartet chose the Canteen for Saturday morning rehearsals. In between gruesome renderings of cowboys’ laments, etc., snappy repartee was practiced. Many of the best jokes made their first Wabash appearance in the Canteen. The place was run by students and was strictly for them. They used it; utilized it completely and never took advantage of it. This year has been an interesting one which saw the old Wabash reborn out of the indefinite’ something which carried on during the War. To those who think that the school has come part way back to where it stood in the “old days” and to those who believe it made a complete comeback, there can be little denying that one of the biggest helpers on this reconversion job has been the Canteen. Page One Hundred Nine “Mud Hollow’ The activities of Ralph Luzader and his wife, pictured on the opposite page, were typical as the student families moved into the Jennison Street addition during the past semester. This government housing project was to have been put into operation at the beginning of the fall semester, but actually didn’t come into being until after Christmas. Work stoppages held up completion of the project. Two bedrooms, kitchen, living room and bath were provided, with two apartments to the unit. A total of fifteen units thus provided quarters for thirty married students and their families. Each apartment was equipped with an oil stove and hot water heater, an icebox, and miscellaneous furniture. Because of the gumbo quality of the surrounding ground after each of the many rains, it was but a short time before the units became known as “Mud Hollow.” The center section, which seemed to house most of the families with youngsters became known as “Diaper Row.” With the number of married men on the campus at its peak, demand for the houses was great. Plans call for a continuation of use of the housing project as long as the demand warrants. Page One Hundred Eleven “Study Camp” Senior study camp, in its second year of activity following the war, grew in size this year. It was necessary to hold four camps, in late February and early March, to accommodate the men who wanted to go. The camp was held at the Shades Park. Snowballing replaced swimming in these early camps, but the hikes were never missing. Climbing the hills of the Park, difficult maneuv- ering at any time, was made even rougher by the presence of ice and snow. � Traditional activities were not sacrified. Mac Gavit, and others, swing into space on the hanging vines as they heard the call. James “Pat” Paterson fought it out with Bill Horton for bowling (box-ball) supremacy. No one on the faculty seemed to forget to take out an afternoon hike group. Dick Banta led his group all the way to the hotel, and then stayed there, giving the rest of his hiking directions by telepathy. Regular evening visits and talks with the faculty remained unchanged. For many of the new professors at Wabash it was an introduction to a special kind of Wabash democracy. There were varied opinions expressed on inter- national affairs, religion, science, and the like. Since the ob ject of senior study camp is to prepare for “Comps,” and to bring the members of the class closer to one another, mornings were spent studying, afternoons hiking, and evenings in discussion groups. In some of the camps it was difficult to distinguish “study time” from “sack time.” Page One Hundred Thirteen eR = = s 3 u lans —s — AY = Ten L 4 see een homes ee a cane “Waugh Hall’’ As the yearbook goes to press, no pic- tures of a finished Waugh Hall are available. Continued material short- ages and work stoppages have hindered a rapid completion of this building to house the natural sciences. However, the job is now nearing completion and occupancy is expected in September, 1947. A modern building throughout, Waugh Hall features controlled tem- perature laboratories, dark rooms, and the long sought advantages of a visual education room. Modern laboratory equipment for the biology, botany, zoology, and bacteriology laboratories is being provided as rapidly as it can be procured. Of brick, with a wide concrete porch and iron railings, a multitude of win- dows, the architecture of the Hall blends with that of the Chapel and Goodrich Hall.
