| mii THI VA : 1948 BASH Published Annually by The Students of Wabash College Crawfordsville, Indiana Reem LEE Ele Rae eaiton JOHN L. NAYLOR, JR., Business Manager DEDICATION e Ropert E. (PETE) VAUGHAN It seems hard to believe that the time has come to dedicate a yearbook to “Pete” Vaughan—hard to believe that he is really gone from the Wabash Campus and the Athletic Department. He came to Wabash college almost thirty years ago, just a young guy then, but with a lot back of him, for he’d been an All-American | football player in his college days. You can’t just put down in black and white what “Pete” means to Wabash men. It’s hard to define, but it’s | vot a lot to do with the idea of Pete’s aims and ideals. He provided the inspiration that put the Wabash Spirit of playing the game into them. The sports annals are full of accounts of games where underdog Wabash teams | scrapped and battled their way to victory over supposedly superior rivals just because they were Vaughan teams. “Pete’s” name will be remembered as long as there is a Wabash College. It ll always seem that the guy with | the white hair and battered hat will be over there on the bench with his team, because the ideals and spirit that he built up as an integral part of Wabash athletics will always be there. mia a a Le = = i eats Benen enene vee, Bae SS SEPTEMBER Registration began and Wabash started another year ...

SPARKS PRD LIZ AAA The story of the prominent, successful industrialist who realized, in 1941, a long cherished ambition to be a college President, has become almost a national legend. The industrialist, is of course, President Sparks, and his seven years as President of Wabash College have more than justified, in every way, his entrance into the field of education. Dr. Sparks was graduated from Butler University and received advanced degrees from the University of Southern California. He came to Wabash but a few short months before American entrance into the war. Faced almost immediately with the prospect of guiding the school through the war years, he was instrumental in the designation of Wabash as a unit in the Naval Training Program, and further served personally as a member of the War Manpower Commission in Washington, His faith in Wabash and in Wabash men is equaled in intensity only by his energy and efforts on behalf of the school. He has traveled, written, spoken and organized, all with one purpose in mind, to spread the name and fame of Wabash and Liberal Arts education. He has been instrumental in the bringing to Wabash of many new, outstanding faculty members. He has contacted hundreds of alumni to renew and stimulate their interest in their school. He has sponsored a program of progress and achievement on the campus itself that has already seen the construction of Waugh Hall, with other buildings to follow. He has interested many people in the school through the contacts made by his Sponsored Scholarship Program. He is determined that Wabash College will continue to climb in the scene of American education. THE DEAN Byron K. TripPet M.A. (Oxon.) Byron Trippet was graduated from Wabash Colege in 1929, and then attended Oxford University in Eng- land as a Rhodes Scholar. He returned to Wabash in 1934 and has been with the school since that year with the exception of his four years of service with the United States Navy, from which he was separated as a Lieutenant Commander. As Dean of the College, he has handled a difficult, complex and trying job with the highest possible degree of ability and devotion. His office lights burn late into the night. A constant stream of callers pass in and out every day, each with a different problem and situation, and he handles every instance with the tact, keen insight and understanding that have always characterized his activities and actions as Dean of Wabash Col- lege. The expanded size of the school and the multitude of problems arising from the effects of four years of hostilities on the educational scene have put a burden on Trip’s shoulders that no lesser man could bear. But even more than that, Byron Trippet represents an ideal to each Wabash man. He is to the men of the school, the embodiment of the best that can be obtained from a Liberal Arts education and from the life and experiences of Wabash. ADMINISTRATION GEORGE V.

SENIOR COUNCIL Front Row—Bob Slade, Ed Davisson, Swede Nelson, John Young, Jim Noonan, Hal Petit. Second Row—Ray King, Norm Young, Rufe LaRue, Bill Trapp, Harlan Fox. The eleven men of the Senior Council are the final authority in student affairs. Their executive and legis- | lative control of student activities penetrates every segment of campus life. Their duties include the appor- tionment of finances, planning the Class Day and Homecoming exercises, acting as an intermediary between the students and the administration, and preserving Wabash traditions. Their control of freshman training remains the strongest link in this latter attempt. This year the Council was led by Swede Nelson, Norman | Young, Bob Slade and John Young. Even though they were caught between their responsibility to the students as well as the college administration, the Council was highly successful in reinstituting pre-war freshman traditions and guiding the entire student body through a trying post-war recovery period. Indeed, we owe them our lasting gratitude. oe SENIOR OFFICERS Senior Class The senior class this past year has been made up of ninety-five percent returning veterans. Of this percent- a ge, around fifteen percent were married and lived in the veterans’ housing unit which has been nick-named “Mud-Hollow.” The seriousness of purpose with which these men went about their work during the past year should be an inspiration to all of us; for they have turned in a record that will be hard to surpass. Not only have the seniors made a fine scholastic record, but they have been numbered on practically all of the athletic teams and have held numerous campus activity positions, including the Editor of the WABASH, President of the Glee Club, head of the Board of Publications, and many others. To say that these men will be missed by their numerous friends is an understatement, we can only wish them the best of everything in the years to come.

Except for a few of them who have transferred to Wabash from other schools, the majority of the men started their college careers as “Cavemen” back in 1943. Most of these men, consequently, have gone about their work more diligently since the war, and their attitudes are reflected in marked scholastic improvement. It is also of interest to note that about five per cent are married. KEN STRONG Treasurer WaALtTeR WASILOIT President Bos SCHMUL Secretary Birt WAGNER Vice President JUNIORS Junior Class The juniors have had their share of campus activity men and athletes this year also. Except for the basket- ball team, juniors have been a driving power behind all varsity sports. They will be more than capable oi replacing the senior lettermen who graduate this year They have also made a fine record in campus activities. From them have come the editors of THE BACHELOR and THE CAVEMAN, and they have had many representatives on the staffs of THe LITERARY MAGAZINE and THE WaBASH. Consequently, we are looking forward to a fine senior class next year; one that will carry on the Wabash traditions, making a name for the college as well as themselves.

SOPHOMORES ce last year, sixty-six percent of the class was made up of veterans: however, very few of these men started college here before the war. This year the sophomores resumed their traditional sophomore-freshmen festivities at the homecoming celebration. This is always a good sign, for it means that the spirit of the school is at its peak. These men have not forgotten the serious side of life either. They are more studious than ever and their scholastic records show that they are getting the most out of their college education. ‘ Y Sophomore Class ) The sophomore class was one of the largest classes in the history of Wabash College. As was the case The class has had more than their share of athletes. Not only was all of the basketball team composed of sophomores, but the football team and the baseball team had their share also. This is a hard record to beat. _ ae ee | - wo : | : : | .

FRESHMEN Freshman Class The freshman class for 1947 was an aggregation of men from all parts of the country. It was an exception- ally large class this year totalling over one hundred and seventy men. The biggest percentage of these men were just out of high school, which means that Wabash has started its return to normalcy. This year, more than ever, has witnessed the whole hearted return of the traditional freshman program. It is one of the tradi- tions that the “Cavemen” have carried on for years; one which makes every man a true Wabash man by the end of his freshman year. The freshmen this year have proved themselves worthy of the title. They have, on the whole, made a fine showing academically besides turning in a good record on the field of sports and by participating in numerous campus activities. These are the men who carry on our famous motto, ‘Wabash Always Fights.” Burton WRIGHT Vice President Pau. JONES President Rosert ALBAN Secretary Dea Hess Treasurer Front Row—P.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS RoBERT (PETE) VAUGHAN | After many years of actively coaching Wabash athletic teams, this year, Pete confined his activities to general supervision in the post of athletic director. It was a common thing to see Pete looking over the foot- ball prospects one day, and then coaching the shot putters the next. His advice and assistance to the partici- pants as well as the coaches was invaluable. Early in the spring an old desk was left vacant in the offices of the gym. It was Pete’s desk, one that he had used through his many hours of planning successful conquests for the Scarlet. Yes, the desk is empty, but | there is a tradition left behind; a tradition of hard fighting teams that brought glory to their coach and to their school, All that can be said now is goodbye and goodluck to a real Wabash man. ea 1 FOOTBALL i = i i 1 i ; Fl VA — End Coach Bill Trapp, Head Coach Glen Harmeson, Line C oach Jim Miller, ‘‘B’? Squad Coach Ralph Paich. Wabash ended its second year under the able leadership of Coach Glen Harmeson. In the two years the Wabash record stands at two losses, two ties, and twelve wins, which constitutes one of the best two year histories at Wabash. Coach Harmeson was ably assisted by line coach Jim Miller and end coach Bill Trapp. The flagrant bad spot in this season was the defeat suffered at the hands of Butler. This returned the Iron Key again to the Butler fieldhouse. Wabash, however, showed much improvement over last year’s game with Butler and next year should be able to regain possession of the key. From the annual Wabash-DePauw classic the Scarlet supporters retained the Monon Bell at the Wabash fieldhouse. An added incentive in this game was to win for Pete Vaughn, who was ending his coaching career at Wabash. It was with this game that seven seniors also ended their athletic careers at Wabash. The services and spirit of Allerdice, Montgomery, Morton, Chapin, Knutson, Leffel, and Henrioulle will be missed and will leave many gaps to be filled in next year’s squad. Much has been said about the winnings of Coach Harmeson’s teams but as our opponents have learned, the Little Giants backers support their teams win, lose, or draw. WABASH 27 SOUTHWESTERN 7 a eee The Little Giants started their second year under Harmie’s excellent coaching by rolling over the Memphis crew, after spotting them an early touchdown. The coaching of Miller and Trapp proved superior, as the line held Southwestern to a total yardage loss of 29 yards. The early Southwestern touchdown came from a blocked punt which was run across for the score. The first Wabash score came after a long drive with Jay Gray plunging over from the three. Southwestern’s punt, shortly after receiving the Scarlet kickoff, went out of bounds on the Southerner’s 20 yard line. Norm Wilson carried to the 15 and Len Wahl went around end for the second Wabash touchdown. McKinney’s two good conversions made the score 14 to 7. Wabash recovered a Southwestern fumble on the thirty and two plays later Jay Gray passed to Don Knutson from the 21 for the score. The extra point was not good and the half ended 20 to 7. Wabash kicked off to open the second half and forced Southwestern to punt after three gainless downs. Wabash drove to the 28 and fumbled, but recovered a Southwestern fumble two plays later. From the 26 Jay Gray picked up the yards around end for the final touchdown. Ostick, back Lovas, center Henrioulle. back Gardner, tackle Allerdice, back _ WABAS sH ie CARROLL 7 Wabash and Carroll battled to a tie, before a pro-Wisconsin crowd, in their first clash. Playing most of the time in Carroll’s territory, Wabash’s touchdown drives were halted by pass interceptions and fumbles. In the third quarter, Jay Gray, relieving Jim Allerdice at fullback, set up the Scarlet touchdown by inter- cepting a pass on the midfield stripe and returning it to the Carroll 40. Allerdice reentered the game, and on the next play threw a pass intended for McKinney which was deflected into the arms of Len Wahl who ran to the Carroll 10. An overly anxious line cost the Pioneers a five-yard offside penalty, and gave the Little Giants the ball on the Carroll 5. After Wilson went off-tackle for one yard, Len Wahl cracked over for the touchdown. End Lou McKinney’s educated toe supplied the extra point. Following the kickoff, Carroll bunched their only first downs and tied the score. This was the only time that Carroll came within 30 yards of the Wabash goal. Frank Roman was stopped from scoring the first touchdown by a lucky bit of defense work on the part of a Carroll guard. Wabash completed a screen pass to Roman, but this guard, who had fallen while rushing, saw the pass to Roman and caught hold of his ankle, stopping the play.

The running of the backs and Gray's kicking were important factors, while the line played a better than average game. Lake Forest scored first on a pass in the sec ‘ond aTURTIS r from the 30 yard line. Later in the same period Jay Gray returned a punt 50 yards to the Forester’s 25. The Little Giants drove to the one but were set back to the ten on penalties before Len Wahl went off-tackle for the tying points. Lou McKinney kicked his first of | three extra points to send Wabash out ahead 7 to 6. The second half opened and Wabash forced the Jaybirds to punt. Tom Barrett blocked this punt, and Tony | Cefali fell on the ball in the end zone for the second touchdown. Climaxing a Wabash drive, Jay Gray circled | i) right end for 15 yards and the final marker. Jay Gray kicked out of bounds twice within the Forester’s five yard stripe, once on the three yard line and again on the one foot line. The downfield blocking of the line enabled the backs to pick up five and ten yards at a crack.

Wabash, playing fine defensive ball, was able to keep a slight edge on Butler in the first half. After two exchanges of kicks, Butler’s safety man was tackled so savagely by Lennie Wahl that he fumbled the ball. Wabash, recover- ing on the 45 yard line, marched to the 15 yard line, where they were stopped by a 15 yard pe nalty. Wabash kicked for the sidelines and the remainder of the half was played near the midfield stripe. The second half opened with another exchange of punts, which ended with Butler in possession on the Wabash 35. On the next play a long pass to Williams clicked for the first Butler tally. A few plays later, Bennett returned a Wabash punt for the se econd Butler touchdown. He was see smingly stopped on the 20 yard line, but as four Wabash men hit him so hard that they jarred each other loose, he se ampered on across. Jay Gray's first half punting and the Wabash line were the equalizing factors, while Butler’s heavier and faster backfield was the deciding factor. At the end of the preceeding week’s skirmishes the score stood Wabash—one green coat and three shaven and painted Butler prisoners. For Butler one campus showered with Wabash leaflets. A.

A 47 yard run through center by Hymie Allerdice seven plays eee provided the second score. Gene He nrioulle’s kick made the score Wabash 13, Kenyon 0. : | Still in the first half, Kenyon was forced to kick to Frank Roman who returned it to the Ohio 37. After a Scarlet penalty, a Roman to McKinney pass brought the ball to the 34. On the next play, Norm Wilson went | to the sidelines and ran for a touchdown. McKinney’s kick boosted the score to 20 to 0. In the third quarter Lennie Wahl crossed the Wabash line of scrimmage up to the midfield stripe and then fumbled. Bob Alban picked up the bouncing fumble and with the aid of fine blocking scored the fourth Wabash touchdown. The final marker came with Wabash’s only sustained touchdown drive. The 63 yard march was concluded by a short pass from Montgomery to Morton. McKinney’s kick was good and the final score stood 33 to 0. Twice Kenyon penetrated to “the Wabash 30 but could not reach the 20 in four tries. Chapin, back Leffel, center Wahl, back Ritter, tackle Jones, back WABASH 40 FRANKLIN 6 The Little Giants traveled to Franklin to battle a highly overrated foe. Scoring three times in the first period Wabash coasted to an easy victory. Jay Gray, the only double scorer of the afternoon, smashed across tackle for the first touchdown. His second marker came later when he returned a Franklin punt 65 yards for the longest run of the game. The third lightning smash came in the closing minutes of the first quarter when Frank Roman climaxed a Wabash drive with a 12 yard end run. After a scoreless second quarter, Wabash again sustained a drive with Knutson sweeping the end for the score. Throughout the game the first string line was able to kee p the Grizzlies from assembling any sort of scoring threat. After the post score kickoff, ‘the line forced the Grizzlies to punt, and Wabash brought the ball to the Grizzly 20 yard line. Lennie Wahl smashed over left tackle to add to the variety of scoring. Wabash, making free use of substitution, allowed Franklin their only score in the fourth period. The main- stay of their 57 yard march was a Kehoe to Marston aerial attack. Wabash soon retaliated with the final score. Jim Ostick went 35 yards through the center of the Grizzly line and scored on the next play. McKinney and Henrioulle combined to provide four extra points. Cefali, end Montgomery. back Ambuhl. guard Moore. center MeCord, back WABASH 7 OBERLIN 7 Oe, PRs hy 3 ¥ aN X.

Don Knutson immediately attempted to punt the Little Giants out of their hole but the ball went out of bounds on the Scarlet 10. One Ohio pass and a kick put Wabash on the wrong side of a 7 to 0 count. Packing most of the game’s thrills into a few minutes, Lennie Wah] took Oberlin’s kickoff on the Wabash ten and ripped off 90 yards for a touchdown. Lou McKinney booted the all-important extra point to tie the score. Later Themio Plakos recovered an Oberlin fumble on their 15 yard line. Lennie Wahl went through center for 5 and Jim Allerdice and Frank Roman each recovered their own fumbles to put the ball on the 14. McKin- ney’s fourth down attempt for a field goal was wide. Norm Wilson broke up what seemed to be a sure Ohio touchdown. The Oberlin left halfback ran 49 yards behind good blocking before Wilson brought him down. Oberlin lost the ball on downs and Wabash sustained a drive which was stopped only by the clock as the half ended finding Wabash with a second down on the Oberlin 5. Neither team could sustain a drive in the second half and there were no scoring threats. Blackburn, guard Palumbo. guard Biron. guard Gray. back McKinney, end Determined to retain the Monon belli for another year, the Little Giants crushed DePauw in glorious tribute to Pete Vaughan. The Little Giants took an early first quarter lead. Frank Roman took a DePauw punt on his 32 yard line and returned it to the 35. Don Knutson drove through center, cut to the right, crossed the midfield stripe, and was tackled on the 31 yard line. Hurt by a penalty, ‘Wabash advanced the ball for two plays where they were helped by a penalty against DePauw. Don Knutson skirted right end for five yards and a touchdown. McKin- ney’s kick was good. The second Wabash drive started in like fashion with Roman returning a DePauw punt 10 yards to the 27. Knutson went to the 45 on the first play, and on the next crossed the midfield stripe to the Tigers’ 46, Allerdice smashed off guard to the 34, and Roman ran a quarter-back sneak across for the score. The kick was wide making the score 13 to 0. The Tigers sustained an 85 yard drive for their only touchdown. After an exchange of punts, Wabash took over on the 44. Wilson, Ostick, and Allerdice brought the ball to the 13 and W ‘Ison carried it three times to score. McKinney’s kick was good. After the half, a Wabash drive sloppe -d short, but after an exchange of punts, Wabash recovered a fumble on the 6.

After losing the first game with Butler, Wabash came from behind to win the second with a breakaway run and an extra point kick by Gene Henrioulle. In our only game with Purdue, punting and George Eckstedt’s passing kept Wabash in the scoring column but the Boilermakers still managed to win. At DePauw the Little Giants ran up their highest score and got their second victory. McLaren’s passing to | Rariden and Lankton plus a lateral to Lankton accounted for the three touchdowns.

Led by Bill Clark they have led the student body in giving the team the support they need to defeat their opponents as was illustrated in the Butler-Wabash basketball game. Managers Most of us never stop to think who carries the water bucket or does any other dirty work that a sport requires. They are the men who don’t care to get their names in print but love the game enough to devote their time to helping others make the headlines. The managers deserve as much of the credit that the star half-back gets every time he scores a touchdown for without them there probably wouldn’t be any team on the field.

The exhibition of basketball showed at the first two home games saddened the hearts of the Wabash supporters but Coach Johnson developed a well coordinated team of sophomores in time to defeat Anderson and Johnny Wilson. The team continued to play a good brand of ball for the rest of the season with the outstanding example of a smashing victory over Butler. Coach Bill Johnson opened his first season at Wabash by defeating Manchester 50 to 48. The old tradition of helping Rhines up to the last four rows was revived at this game. In an ice cold exhibition of basketball Wabash, hitting 15% of their field shots, lost to Wooster 52 to 37. Bill Johnson developed his team into a smooth-running organization as they defeated the highly-rated Anderson Indians 45 to 42.

Hutchins also got 15 points and Anderson’s Bob Milton was held to 11. The “New Look” of the Little Giants pleased the Wabash fans even more than the victory. Proving that the Anderson victory was not luck, the Little Giants lost to the league leading DePauw Tigers by only two points. The game could have been turned into a Wabash victory by a better showing at the free throw line. Starting slowly at the beginning of each half, the Wabash quintet outfought the Tigers during the rest of the game. Continuing their smooth ball playing, the Scarlet Five dropped Illinois Normal 53 to 46. Jack Houston paced the victors with 19 points and hit 8 out of 16 field shots. Clones and Hutchins scored 10 points each. Wabash improved their charity shots by hitting 17 out of 20 free throws. Wabash, playing their first game away, lost to Earlham 47 to 45. Six Wabash baskets were nullified by double-dribbling, traveling and other neglects of fundamentals. Returning home, the Caveman won a thriller at the expense of Franklin, on Ron Gescheidler’s last minute eee BASKETBALL free throw, 56 to 55. Risley led the scoring with 18 points, while each Grizzly starter hit at least 8 points. The game was won at the free throw line, with Wabash hitting 19 out of 25 charity shots. The Little Giants, who were lost in the Butler fieldhouse, joined the ranks of Indiana and Purdue in losing to Butler 62 to 38. Playing a good floor game, Wabash was hindered in their scoring efforts by hitting only 22% of their field shots. “Revenge is mine, saith the Lord.” A second half Wabash rally brought them from a 12 point half time deficit to a 52 to 50 loss at the hands of Canterbury. Starting with a cold .183 average in the first half, Wabash hit their best shooting average thus far this season in the second half. Guard Jack Houston led the scoring with 25 points. Evening the series with Earlham by a 41 to 38 Scarlet victory, Wabash showed the result of lack of practice during finals in their faulty ball handling. Losing their fourth straight game away from home, the Little Giants were defeated by a sharpshooting Kalamazoo five. Scoring was fairly evenly divided on both teams with the final] total standing 55 to 39.

The Little Giants held Butler to their lowest total in three seasons. Houston held “Buckshot” O’Brian’s scoring | antics down for the second time allowing him only six points. Clones was high scorer of the evening with 15 | points closely followed by “Hutch” who scored 14 while holding “potential All American” Jimmy Doyle to 3 points. Ron Gescheidler, teaming with Walt Riggle to control both bankboards, was the main reason for the Bulldog’s downfall. Of the 500 men Butler had to play that night, Coach Bill Johnson was probably the happiest. As Mr. Harvey related in Chapel “The coach was calmly walking around, touching the floor every 27 feet.” i 1eir first win on an opponent's floor and evening the season’s win-loss columns, Wabash beat Franklin With their first PI ts fl 1 e tlh | | , Wabash beat Frankl for the second time this year by a one point margin. Cloncs, “Hutch” and Houston’s 12 points each helped Wabash to their 50 to 49 victory. For the third straight win, Canterbury was dropped 48 to 31. Houston was high scorer with 15 points, fol- BASKETBALL lowed by Risley’s 13 and assisted by Ron Gescheidler’s fine defensive play. To snap the winning streak Hanover edged out The Little Giants 56 to 55. Gene Cloncs, playing one of his best games of the season, scored 23 points while Jack Houston turned in 15 points and a fine floor game. This again brought Johnson’s wins for the season to 50%. In the last game of the season the DePauw Tigers, playing a strong second half, defeated Wabash 48 to 34. DePauw was the only team that defeated Wabash twice in the season. Not a bad record for the Scarlet consid- ering that no player is above a sophomore. The experience gained by the team this year plus the fine coaching of Bill Johnson should assure Wabash of an outstanding season in 749. The team played consistently good ball all year and never failed to live up to the motto “Wabash always fights”. Coach Bill Johnson did an excellent job of forming a team and a style of play for the Wabash squad. After his first year of coaching at Wabash there is reason to believe that Coach Johnson will lead the team to many victories in future years.

The highlight of the season was their defeat of the Butler “B” Squad to complete one of the best nights of basketball on the Wabash campus. Their big brothers followed the example and defeated the Butler “A” Squad. They opened their season with an 1] point victory over DePauw and later in the season won both their eames with Canterbury. The high scorers of the season were: Kroetz with 61 points, Hamilton with 56, Green with 43, and Ferber with 28.

Coach Jim Miller issued first call for track men when the winter blasts of March were still blowing, and a strong, thirty man squad of thinly-clads has been hard at work since that time, shaping up for a tough Spring | schedule of meets. | The Scarlet tracksters will meet four colleges in dual meets and participate in one Invitational encounter, and the Little and Big State Meets. The schedule is as follows: | April 17—Indiana State at Terre Haute April 24—Invitational, at Rose Poly, Terre Haute May 5—Ball State, at Crawfordsville May 8—Canterbury College, at Danville May 12—DePauw, at Crawfordsville May 15—Little State, Greencastle All early season indications are that the squad will be hard to stop this year. Wabash defeated a strong Indiana State team, 77-55, in the first meet, and times and distances were very encouraging. Bob Eckstedt. top javelin man in the state last year, is in fine form. “Iron Man” Fred Massena is again running the 440 and competing in most of the field events. Prospects in the two-mile are excellent with diminutive George Gavit ranking as one of the best in the conference. Half-mile honors are shared by Tully Shaw and Kurt Kauffman, and Bob Surface is on hand in the quarter mile department again. Sprint events are well handled by Norm Wilson, Bud Jones, Bob Risley, Lee Dinwiddie, Bobby Alban, Massena, Ornam and Reardon. Wilson, Cairns, Risley and Reardon are contributing plenty of points in the hurdle events while the high jump section section is well manned by Arg Jackson and Cairns and Risley. Jackson is also top man in the pole vault. The picture in the weight event is particularly bright with veteran Bob Slade and outstanding freshman Bill MacDougall tossing the shot, and the same men plus Eckstedt, Massena and Wahl, flipping the discus.

These included four pitchers: Arburn, Burns, Clones, and Conboy, and one catcher, Paligraf. Spiers, Joyce, Young, and Lankton round out the infield lettermen with Schuldt, Roman, and Blair as outfield lettermen. The starting infield thus far has been Luster at first base, Spiers at second, Joyce at third, and Young at shortstop. Blair has been starting at right field, Roman at center field, and Schuldt at left field with Millican, Gray, and Lankton as reserve outfielders. Dooley has started at catcher with Paligraf and Jube to relieve him. The team has several good pitchers and should have no worries about weakness there. Tate, Kern, Clones, Ferber, Burns, Conboy, Peal, and Arburn all help to strengthen the pitching department. The team has dropped their two opening games thus far, losing the first to Canterbury, 6 to 5, due to errors with men on bases. The second game was lost to Butler, 3 to 1, due mainly to a lack of batting practice. The team’s fielding is greatly improved over last year and if they can combine hitting with their good yitchine they certainly can win most of their eames.

In view of their defeat of DePauw OE the team should have a good chance of winning the majority of their remaining meets and finish high in the state meet which takes place near the end of May. 1947 found the annual “blood, sweat and tears” of the Wabash intramural program just as profuse as ever! The season jumped to a scrapping start in the football league, with the Lambda Chi’s finally coming out on top in a play-off victory over Sigma Chi, the deceptive combination of O’Leary, Heckaman, and Houston proving too strong for even the Sig’s fleet Red Moffat and burly Norm Young. The Delta Tau team defeated a strong Phi Gamma Delta outfit in a double play-off for third and fourth. All four of these teams were excep- tionally good. Basketball was Phi Gamma Delta all the way, as the Fijis completed the season without a defeat, and top- pled Sigma Chi in the final game of the play-off. Howard, Wagner, Knutson, Montgomery, and McCord stood out for the winners. Consolation positions went to Delta Tau, third place, and Kappa Sigma, fourth. Top spot in the Volley Ball League went to Delta Tau Delta and they were followed by Sigma Chi. The volley ball games were all good this year, and cornered quite a crowd of spectators at each encounter. Competition was held also this year in the minor sports of badminton and ping pong, and here it was Beta Theta Pi all the way, with Noonan and Jenks leading the Betas to badminton laurels, and Cassody and Max- well and Myers were tops in ping pong. So the competition is keen and the race very close as the varjous groups head into the spring sports that will decide the issue as to just who will hold the intramural crown. It all depends on the outcome of the horse- shoe and softball competition and each of the fraternal and independent groups is hard at work on the practice diamond rounding the ball teams into shape.

WHO “| LAMBDA CHI ALPHA e Alpha Kappa Zeta of Lambda Chi Alpha has an active chapter strength of thirty-one men and a pledge class of four. Of this number, “Swede” Nelson, Themio Plakos, Jim Haas and Lucio Mazzei are receiving their diplomas with the class of ’48. Nelson has led the Senior Council in the very successful venture of bring- ing back the traditions for which Wabash has long been famous. In addition, Nelson, Haas and Plakos were famed 4 in the “Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities’ Celebrating its thirtieth anniversary on the Wabash campus, the chapter again came into the limelight of intra-mural activities, taking its first touch football championship in sixteen years, and was well represented in all other sports, debate, song contest and Speaker’s Bureau. In adition to being represented in the Sphinx Club, Blue Key and the allege publications, members of the chapter figured in ke y positions in varsity foot- ball, basketball, baseball, colf and tennis.

With the house in pondinind. it was christened after the first football game with the Patel dance of the term. Also on the social agenda were a pledge dance, a formal Christmas dante: the Triad, Pan and several house record dances. The size of the active chapter was swelled this year to sixty-five men, the largest it has ever been. Besides placing in the first division in scholarship rating, Phi Delta Theta also won the first place cup in the fraternity sing. Front Row—R. Kramer, R. Montgomery. T. McCormick, T. Jube, D.

Fourteen men were initiated in February. A Pledge Dance held with the Betas in October was the first of a series of Sig social events, which included a Christmas house dance, Miami Triad and a Spring Dance held in April. Almost 100 alumni appeared at Homecoming. Jim Moffat was Consul the first semester, and John Bado headed the chapter the second. For the third consecutive semester, the Sigs led the campus fraternities scholastically at mid-year, at the same time leading the entire school for the second time in a row. As though hexed, the Sigs had to be content with second place in the intra-mural football, basketball, volley- ball and ping pong tournaments. Still, the chapter managed to win the bowling tournament at the State Day celebrations. Sigma Chi was well represented on all of the varsity teams.

JUNIOR AND SENIOR INDEPENDENTS NL aL Z; or ee 3 This year the Independent organization had one of its most successful years under the able leadership of | Gene Henrioulle. The first Homecoming Queen in the history of the college was sponsored this year by the Independents, as was the Esquire Homecoming dance. To help them with their finances, the Board of Publi- cations gave them permission to publish the blotter for this year. One of their number, Harland Fox, was elected to the coveted position of President of the Senior class. Hoganson and Henrioulle saw plenty of action with the Little Giant football squad in the fall.

In the class elections, they swept all four of the Freshman class officers. They were ably represented on the football squad by Alban, Smith, Osha, Ostick. and Orman. In scholarship they held their own, coming in second with a fine average. This year they have had three teams in the intramural contests, coming up with many victories and threaten- ing to win the baseball league with the able pitching of Ron Gesheidler. With the increased size of the college, we can expect more and more of these fine results from the organization of the Independents.

Election to this honorary society, as recognition for scholastic excellence during college years is one of the finest tributes that can be paid. The organization’s motto, “Fraternity, Morality and Literature,” designates the aims that have made Phi Beta Kappa a constant source of ideals and inspiration to the whole nation during its years of existence. Its roll of membership contains the names of many of the most distinguished men and women of American history. It has been outstanding in the pursuit of its policy of the furtherance of scholarship and friendship among students and graduates of American colleges and universities. The Wabash College chapter was chartered in 1898, and has long been a medium in the maintenance of a high standard of scholastic prestige for the school. One sixth of each graduating class may be elected to the society in the spring, and in addition, two juniors of very high standing may also be chosen. Charles Petty a of the Class of 1948 was so honored last year. PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL The annual spring Pan-Hellenic Dance is undoubtedly the gala social event of the season. Arrangements for the band, decorations, concessions, programs, and chaperones are listed among the duties of this council composed of elected representatives from the Greek letter organizations. Needless to say the dance was a creat success. Beside all of this responsibility the council also began a reorganization program to extend its fields of activity. It is their hope that this reorganization will provide a council to promote better inter- fraternity relations through a discussion of common problems. Final drafts of a new Constitution are not completed as yet, but these pioneers are doing their utmost in paving the way for a better fraternity program at Wabash. Front Row—Miller, LaRue. Dunn.

BAND In the early fall the college obtained the services of Mr. Vernon Spaulding, director of the Crawfordsville High School band, to organize and direct the first post-war Scarlet band. Some twenty-eight men took up their saxophones and trumpets to provide music for athletic contests and a chapel program. Even though handi- capped by lack of equipment and uniforms, these musicians received the applause of an enthusiastic student body who took great pride in their band. Superlative work was put out by the student quartermaster, Fred McCullough, who directed in the absence of Mr. Spaulding. Not show in the picture are two faithful workers, Don Little, clarinetist, and Richard Switzer, who played piccalo and flute. BAND Front Row—MeCollough, Byers, McCormick, Pierson, Smith. Given.

In this critical period of post-war world readjustment there have been many controversial subjects requir- ing the consideration of a well informed student body. Such topics as “World Government”, “The Marshall Plan for European Recovery,” and “The Palestine Problem” demanded the attention of the members of the International Relations Club. Thr oughout the year Prexy Hal Petit and the faculty advisor, Dr. Gronert, have done their utmost to guide the discussion panels in their pursuit of knowledge on foreign affairs. The club is fortunate to be sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation which lends its support through the purchase of appro- priate reading material. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB + EE OE LP Oe ES EB OL BOARD OF PUBLICATIONS Amidst the cries for more funds from each publication the Board of Publications apportions the various amounts of money expended by THE WaBAsH, THE CAVEMAN, and THE BACHELOR. Membership is restricted to those men who have served as either editor or business manager of any one of the publications. The board also approved plans for a new literary magazine providing entrance to new fields of journalistic endeavor. The president of Pi Delta Epsilon, Ben Sickler, is also president of the board. Mr. Harvey, Mr. Ormes, and Dr. Charles are permanent faculty representatives of this organization. BOARD OF PUBLICATIONS Naylor, Dr. Charles, M. Jones. Mr. Harvey. Haas. SPANISH CLUB Front Row — Pugh, Teetor, Jube, Blackburn, Sohn. Second Row — Jacobs, Orman, Bentley, Finucane, Prof. Gallardo. The Wabash Spanish Club has been in existence for several years and provides a medium for the many Spanish students on the campus to learn more of the actual life and customs and people of the Latin American countries about which they study in the classroom. Discussions and lectures in Spanish are given, and native songs and ballads are sung. Speakers who have lived and traveled in Spanish speaking countries talk to the club members about their experiences and impressions, and through these mediums, the Spanish students are made more intimately acquainted with those peoples and countries that they study. The club has functioned under the direction of Dr. Leavenworth, Dr. Gallardo, and Mr. Serrano, all of the Spanish department faculty. SPANISH CLUB “W MEN’S CLUB Any Wabash man who has indicate d sufficient athletic prowess to merit a major letter, automatically be- comes a member of the “W” Men’s Club. At present there are over fifty men who have made their mark on the fields of sport listed on the club roster. Although the club has no meetings its importance is not to be underrated. Acompanying the satisfac tion of winning a major award, the “W” ‘Men’ s Club bestows a coveted honor upon those who carry the “Scarlet” against the opponents. “W” MEN’S CLUB Front Row—Paich, Paligraf, Bryant, Barrett, Roman, Spears.

In 1925 the Wabash chapter of Blue Key was established. However, during the war and shortly thereafter the organizaton was inactive. Not until late this fall was Blue Key revived on “the campus due to the efforts of Dick Cherry, it’s first post-war president, and Professor Patterson, Director of Activities. Shortly thereafter a nucleus was assembled for the purpose of organization and election of members to carry on next year. Blue Key is composed of juniors and seniors who have been prominent in activities and above average in scholar- ship. It’s purpose is to stimulate intellectual endeavor, and enrich student life. Wabash is indeed happy to see Blue Key return to the campus. BLUE KEY ae GLEE CLUB Each Wednesday evening the melodic strains emitted by the Wabash Glee Club echo about the otherwise still campus. Fifty strong, this group travels about the state giving concerts and participating in special holiday programs. They sang for the Pete Vaughn Memorial Dinner at the Indianapolis Athletic Club, for the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs in Crawfordsville, the Indianapolis Travel Club, the citizens of Indianapolis at the Christ- mas sing held on the Circle, and in our own chapel for the students and local residents in their annual concert. Wabash was fortunate to obtain the services of Robert Mitch, president of the Jordon Conservatory of Music’s senior class, who directed the club throughout the year. Bob Schmuhl was president of this year’s highly successful glee club. GLEE CLUB Front Row—Shaw, Banta, Sweeney, Albershardt, Little, Holman, Schmul.

The great percentage of married students, particularly among the returned veterans, has meant the addition of many families to the once all-male student community. Many of the families live in the veterans’ project on Jennison Street, and others throughout the town. The female being an extremely ‘social creature, it was only natural that a club for student wives be formed. and the Dames Club for wives of Wabash students was formed two years ago. The club has also sponsored small dances and get-togethers for the married students.

Actually, THE BACHELOR is more than just a newspaper since its activities in journalism exte ‘nd into the realms of student philosophy and intellectual achievement. Expansion has been a key word with the staff this year. With Jim Goode editing, every attempt to produce a larger and more comprehensive publication has been made. The feature staff led by Larry Van Tresse, the sports staff with Vic Mercer editing, and the news staff overseen by Byron Lingamen have been creative, efficient, and generally beneficial to this building program. Whenever possible student publications attempt to be self-supporting through advertising. This has been more difficult than usual for THE BACHELOR business staff due to the expansion program. It was a common experience to see these men attempting to charm the local merchants with their new ideas and old lines in an attempt to sell more column space. During the first semester Mike Vale managed the staff, and Dave Haskell assumed these duties early in 1948. Through their efforts THE BACHELOR was able to expand, thereby provid- ing wider campus coverage and greater individual student participation. EDITORIAL Front Row—J. Smith, Me- Namee, Dyer, Finch.

It is composed of men who have done out- standing work on either the business or editorial staffs of THE BACHELOR, CAVEMAN, or WABASH. The local chapter was founded in 1923, and is one of more than seventy chapters. Mr. Harvey is the faculty advisor. The officers for this year are Ben Sickler, president; Hank Dunn, seretary; and Dick Chapin, treasurer. This year, the members of the organization published a StupENT Directory AND HANDBOOK, distributed to all students, under the able editorship of Hugh Sutton. Kach year a plaque is awarded to the outstanding freshman journalist, to encourage participation of the underclassmen in the journalistic activities of the school.

Petty, Dr. Roller, Sandow. Second Row—Barthol- omew, Firks, Rice, Compton, McGill. Logelin. On Tuesday and Thursday during chapel period the members of the Physics Club gathered in the laboratory of Goodrich Hall to discuss problems in physics over coffee and doughnuts. These same erstwhile physicists met each Wednesday night also, in a more formal type of program. Occasionally members of the department lectured, or guest speakers added to the usual student discussions. With an earnest desire to expand their knowledge of physics, these men handed together to discuss some of their common problems and experiments. They were successful in extending their discussions far above the usual course level. Faculty advisement is provided by Dr. Roller, who is also the founder of the club, John Davis, Walt Howard, and Charles Petty in charge of planning programs and acting as administrative leaders. PHYSICS CLUB GERMAN CLUB The German Club was organized to increase the interest of students of German in the language and culture of that nation. The meetings are devoted to talks and lectures to promote these ends. Alo familiarity with the language and speaking it in the meetings are supposed to aid the student in his studies. This year, some of the advanced peaclents organized a chapter of Delta Phi Alpha, a national German stu- dent honorary fraternity. The petition was granted, and the chapter was installed in the spring. A Christmas party was a new feature of this year’s activities. The president of the club this year was Mike Vale.

Scarlet Masque, Wabash dramatic society, was founded in 1923 by Allen Saunders and Dean Kendall. With a membership comprised of talented actors, writers, electricians, carpenters, and stage hands, the club is responsible for the production of two noteworthy plays each year. Due to a late start, “The Male Animal” was the only one produced in 1947-48. However, the perfection attained in this one provided pleasant enter- tainment for the student body. Two students, Rufus La Rue and Charles Scott have captained the club this year, and they are now at work planning next year’s dramatic contribution to a liberal education. Just to keep the men in trim, WFMU, the local FM radio station, plans to produce some fifteen radio plays featuring mem- bers of the Scarlet Masque in leading roles.

The honor of being its first president was conferred upon Milo F. Vale. Jerome Fink, Edward Flem- ing and Harold Mapps received other offices. One of its first official acts was to declare Professor F. C. Dom- roese an honorary member, Mr. Horvay is also the faculty advisor. The yearly interscholastic forensic battle of debaters was centered around the topic, “Resolved That a Fed- | eral World Government Should Be Established.” Wabash men participated in more than fifty such contests | at four tournaments. Our men were pitted against teams at the Illinois Normal tournament in Bloomington, | the Georgetown University contest in Georgetown, Kentucky, at DePauw University, and against DePauw and Earlham in the annual Triangular meet. Although many of the debaters were inexperienced in inter- scholastic debate, nonetheless, they made a record to be pointed to with pride. Mr. Victor Powell contributed much of his time and energy in coaching the squad, and the team made his efforts worthwhile. DEBATE SQUAD TAU KAPPA ALPHA TAU KAPPA ALPHA Front Row—Naylor. Petit.

Prerequisite to initiation is at least two consecutive years of prominence in these activities.

The Wabash shutter-bugs banded together this year in a club to promote the welfare of their favorite hobby. photography. Business at the meetings runs to discussions of such subjects at timing, exposures, composition, subjects and display, as well as critical comparison of equipment and finished pictures. Members have fur- nished valuable contribution to the school welfare by the handling of photography assignments for the various publications on the campus. Faculty members interested in photography have contributed advice and help to the student members.

We realize that this book would have never been possible without the aid and help of so many people. We wish to thank Mr. Harvey for his advise and interest, Mr. Bob Ormes for his work in keeping up the financial end, and Red Howell for his invaluable suggestions and encouragement. Dr. Brigance, Mr. Hirshburg, Dick Banta, and Bob Sites, our student photographer, all assisted in the taking and assembling of our pictures. We would especially thank our business and editorial staffs—they all contributed long hours and hard work. Special credit should go to Pete Hyde, Cotton Weaver, Porer Draper, Don Mefford, Jack Naylor, Jack Worley, Kurt Kaufmann, and Dick Cherry. In conclusion. we want to thank all the men of Wabash and the towns- people of Crawfordsville for without your aid and cooperation there would have been no 1948 WABASH. Phil Leffel, Jr.. Editor.
