WABASH COLLEGE rawfordsville, Indian: LRG TR i) om it “O U —— 2) 0 —O vhs! 0 i) = of | A reco rd ee Soe OT oo ae kak the things we remember play, the work, the BASH STAFF The basic purpose for the publication of any yearbook is to record the events of a given year—those events which the readers will want to remember, long after their college days are past. In order to meet this requirement of a successful book, the staff must strive to accurately portray the college as it is from day to day; the tradition, the spirit, and the future hopes of the college must be captured on scarcely a hundred sheets of paper. This is the task we have faced. People, of course, are the most important element, because they are not permanent fixtures of the college; each one is different from all the others, and each remains only a short while. In this WABASH we have attempted to capture the people—st udents and faculty, and to record their activities on the pages of the book. The emphasis on persons is accentuated by more pictures, and less copy. A common pitfall of many yearbooks is in choosing a theme which is not appropriate or which cannot be carried throughout the book. We have attempted to overcome this problem by basing the 1951 WABASH on the college itself, rather than on an abstract theme. Wabash College is part old and part new. This element of time is evident in the buildings on the campus. The college is rich in tradition embodied in the buildings, the people, and the stories of old which are known by every Wabash man. Yet the college keeps abreast of the times and looks to the future. This is evidenced in Dr. Sparks’ building program, and in such things as a faculty composed of men of importance in current affairs. We have attempted to show these things about Wabash by underscoring the time element with contrasts in old and new figures, combined with modern style layout, but old style type. We have tried to show that intangible but very real thing known as the Wabash spirit—“Wabash Always Fights’—a bold spirit, in bold layout and the bold scarlet hue. We have tried to show Wabash College just as it appears to us, the result of a happy blend of faculty and students. It is our hope that we have captured for you the Wabash College which holds a place in all our hearts, in the way you want to remember it. Below: Some last minute preparations are made by the second semester business staff.

He has a reputation for accomplishing the difficult, if not the im- possible. During his period of service at Wabash Dr. Sparks has done much to promote the building program for the college, and to bring a distinguished faculty to our classrooms. Always abreast of the times, he was one of the formulators of the Indiana Plan for selective service and the champion of the small colleges on that problem. To list all his accomplishments would be impossible, but we can say that Frank Sparks is one-hundred per cent for Wabash; and Wabash is one-hundred per cent for him. Byron KicutLy Tripper A.M. (Oxon.) Dean of the College dean of college The dean of a small college, as the friend and adviser of the students, must set an example in reason and understanding. Dean Trippet is one of the most popular and respected men on the campus not only for possessing these qualities, but also for others equally important. The calm orderliness of his demeanor, his subtle humor and his brilliant mind are outstanding. Turning out an amazing quantity of work seems easy for him, yet he still finds time for any problems a student may have. His job is undefinable and everyone’s problem is his, yet he handles each one with energy and tact. In every way Byron Trippet is the champion of Wabash College, and the standard of its ex- cellence.

For thirty four years he taught classes in French and Spanish, and was chairman of the department of Romance Languages. While he excelled in scholarly pursuits, he took an active interest in every phase of college life at Wabash, and in the community. He set an example in loyalty and in service for all who knew him. Dr. Leavenworth’s death, on September 23, 1950, was a genuine loss to Wabash College. There is a special place for his memory in all our hearts. Page Twenty Division One : In Division I the student finds the opportunity to investigate the mysteries of nature, and the principles of the physical sciences. The beginner in this division is first introduced to the sciences through general biology, physical | science, and basic mathematics. For those who decide to concentrate in this field there will be textbooks, lectures and laboratories in zoology, botany and | biology in Waugh Hall, and chemistry, physics and mathematics in Goodrich | Hall. Far from being the dull courses that many students imagine, the sciences provide fertile fields for investigation by those eager to learn. Many prepare for medicine, while others choose scientific research or teaching. Willis Johnson is Chairman of Division I. ALBERT R.

After completing the basic requirements the student may choose to major in the field of languages —Spanish, French, German, Latin, Greek or others. Or he may prefer the study of the English language and its uses, in composition courses and in literature and journalism. Many students are also attracted to the heights of Center Hall for study and practice of the principles of public speaking. A pre-theological student finds plenty of food for thought in the departments of religion and philosophy. George Kendall is Chairman of Division II. FRANK R. Barnett A.B.

SLO EINE SORTS sie OO : sion Lhree Contemporary civilization introduces the student to Division HI and gives him a comprehensive view of world history in six semester hours. For those wha decide to exceed the requirement of two courses in this division a wide variety of subject matter is available. Looking forward to law or public service a man may choose to major in political science. The prospective leaders in business find much of value in theories of economics. Psychology majors find opportuni- ties for unlimited study and discovery in the problems of the mind, and often have willing subjects in the form of students in the other divisions. Not to be overlooked are the numerous courses in history, which acquaint the student with the past, and present the challenge of the future. Ferguson Ormes is Chairman of Division III.

CLASS OFFICERS (Left to right) Ellwood Lewis, Wally Allman, Ted Kuehn, and Kurt Kaufman. Seniors According to the dictates of tradition, the members of the Class of 1951 took their recognized place as the leaders of the student body. The Senior Otel began at once with the task of orientat- ing and indoctr inating the “first year gentlemen” , and continued with this until the inevitable chore of senior reading took its toll. Kurt Kaufman was elected president; Wally Allman, vice-president; Ellwood Lewis, secretary and Ted Kuehn, treasurer. At the turn of semesters many activ ities had to be truned over to the juniors, as the forthcoming Comprehensives drew nearer. Study camp, a delightful interlude, passed and soon the specter of the Comps became a reality. An amazing number survived this ordeal un- scratched, and following the 113th commencement, the class of ‘51 left the Wabash family to cope with the cold, cruel world. Page Thirty-six Rosert J.

A member of the class of 1951, Lee had been active in varsity track and football, and was a familiar face at the Sigma Chi house. He had been elected to the Senior Council this year by the Sigma Chis. Lee is sadly missed by his many friends in Wabash College. Page Forty-six (Left to right) Sunderland. CLASS OFFICERS Harley Palmer, Brad Johnston, Tom Hamilton, and Louie The members of the Class of °52 distinguished themselves in practically every phase of Wabash life. The junior class furnished the editor of the WABASH, the editor of the CAVEMAN, and the president of the Pan-Hellenic council. From their midst came the “most valuable” football player. In fact, varsity athletics as a whole were substantially fortified by juniors. They chose Tom Hamilton for president; Harley Palmer, vice-president; Louie Sun- derland, secretary; and Brad Johnston as treasurer. Although they were strongest in the fields of activities and athletics, the juniors did not limit themselves to these alone. There are several very outstanding scholars within this class. With men like the members of the junior class back next year, it is a certainty that Wabash will be in the best of hands.

Rivalry among freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors is always evident, and keen competition in campus activities results. But all classes get together, whether in the classroom, on the athletic field, in the fraternities, or at the Scarlet Inn. Wabash College comes first. Si Bere CLASS OFFICERS (Left to right): Paul Tippett, Gene Light, John Hodapp, and Frank Mullen. homores The Class of 53, composed of that distinctive and wordly being, the Sophomore, did remarkably well on campus. Most self- satisfying however, was their winning of the annual freshman- sophomore fight, this representing their second victory in as man years. Seven of their members won varsity letters in football, and six of the first ten in basketball were sophomores. They are still in the neophyte stage in the other phases of extra-curricular pur- suits, but seem to have the necessary raw material in abundance. For their leaders the Class of 53 chose Paul Tippett as their president, Gene Light as vice-president, John Hodapp secretary, and Frank Mullin treasurer. It appears certain that with the ad- ditional maturity that comes only with age and experience, the sophomores will more than distinguish themselves in the coming two years at Wabash.

CLASS OFFICERS (Left to right): Herb Bunch, Dave Elvart, Wade Fredrick, and Ronnie Callen. eshmen During their first week at Wabash, life was quite hectic and con- fusing for the members of the Class of ‘54. Placement exams, rush parties, registration and the usual orientation programs kept the rhynes well occupied. Things settled down amazingly fast, how- ever, with the appearance of “Rhynies! Read, and Reading Trem- ble.” Now our typical freshman was seen wearing his new, bright green pot, and tipping same decorously to the passing seniors. All, save a few sadder and wiser men, learned “Old Wabash” and “Alma Mater” to the point of perfection. Their officers were Herb Bunch, president; Wade Fredrick, vice-president; Ron Callen, secretary; and Dave Elvart, treasurer. They lost the traditional Freshman- Sophomore Fight and, as a result, they had to wear their beloved pots until semester's end. The freshmen quickly learned to respect tradition, and with their active participation in athletics and other phases of extra-curricular life, they soon became an integral part of our Wabash family.

The Pan-Hellenic Council is composed of one representative from each of the eight social fraternities. The function of the council is to deal with matters of inter-fraternity interest, and to sponsor an all school dance every spring. This year the Pan-Hel Council continued its policy of exchange dinners that was started last year. These dinners were held each week in order that the members and pledges of the various fraternities could become better acquainted. The council also gave a scholarship cup to that fraternity who pledge class had the highest average. The cup was won by Lambda Chi Alpha. The Inter-Fraternity Sing, held in the chapel Friday, April 13, was won by Phi Gamma Delta. Ernie Scott served as Council President during the first semester, but after his call into the armed services, Tom Klingaman took over. The annual Pan-Hellenic Dance, highlight of the Wabash social season, was held May 11 and 12. The members of the Council made arrangements for the orchestra and for seeing that the decorations were assembled. Page Fifty-six Senior Council — The Senior Council is composed of one representative from each of the eight social fraternities and representatives of the independent men. It is the highest student governing body on the campus, and has control over the budgeting of expenses for the various campus activi- ties. The most colorful part of the duties of the Senior Council is fresh- man indoctrination. One week after the new men arrive on the campus they are informed of their status as rhynes by large posters placed in conspicuous spots. The freshman bonfire, which this year proved to be a little rougher than usual, was handled by the Council, who skilfully kept the class rivalry from degenerating into a mob fight. Tipping of pots and proper respect for seniors was also enforced by the Council. Bill MacDougall ably served as president of the Council. In the face of attacks against the Senior Council as being “useless and out- moded”, he kept the group together, and did a good job. Row One: Dan McLaren, Don Mosiman, Bill MacDougall, Paul Jones, Ray Bentley. Row Two: Harry Kern, George Banta, Don Shepherd, Bob Harries, Ben Calacci, Bob Alban. SET 2 eae aR Page Fifty-seven GEORGE SWEENEY The Wabash College chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was founded in 1898. Membership is limited to the top men of each years senior class, with one-eighth of the class being eligible. In addition two men may be selected from the junior class. George H. Sweeney, of LaGrange, Hlinois, was chosen last spring as junior Phi Beta Kappa. Seniors chosen at the same time were Keith R. Barker, Robert L. Buser, George B. Gavit, Robert V. Hanna- ford, David S. Hopkins, Rolland O. Keeling, Jr., Stephan D. LefHer, Billy J. Linn, Fred McCullough, Jr., Thomas A. Mahoney, Klaus H. Newes, Gene R. Potts, Allan K. Prince, Richard B. Rhody, Leland C. Rudrow, Edgar C. Stuntz, and Jack L. Wilson. Phi Beta Kappa was founded at the college of William and Mary in 1776 as the first secret social fraternity. It later dropped its veil of secrecy and became the most outstanding honorary scholastic organization in America. ‘Today it has expanded to 151 chapters in leading colleges and universities.

Blue Key Blue Key is an honorary society of juniors and seniors who excell in scholarship and activities. A project of this organization was the presentation of American and foreign made movies in Waugh Hall. This was a step forward in the problem of weekend recreation. Led by Dan Ferber Blue Key kept its position as one of the most coveted honorary societies on the campus. Sphinx Club The Sphinx Club is composed of men elected to membership for athletics and general campus activity. The club program started in the fall with the Home- coming Trophy, won by Phi Delta Theta. New members were taken in with traditional pledging routine. On class day the Sphinx Club gave joke awards to graduating seniors. Ed Keith acted as president. Row One: Jim Brenner, Jim Swope, Dick Neidow, Ken Beasley, Jim Clark, Bob Holstine, Sparky Watts.

The Wabash chapter, established in 1946, has rendered numerous services to the community. Dick Dyer served as president the first semester, while Doyle Pickett led the last half. The pledge class made book rests for Yandes library. Members ushered at football games and chapel programs. International Relations Club The International Relations Club is an organization of upperclassmen who meet each month to discuss international problems. The club heard talks by faculty members and exchange students. Charlie Goering served as president; Dr. Gronert was faculty sponsor. Dele- gates were sent to the Midwest Conference of International Clubs. Row One: Don Wise, Bob McCreery, Tom Woerner, Doyle Pickett, Dick Dyer, Bill Reinke, Al Keisker, Nick Longsworth.

The Independent Men’s Association had a very active year under the leader- ship of Ray Bentley. Early in the fall they held a picnic, and put on the Homecoming dance, an annual affair. Meetings were held each Monday night at Kane House to discuss problems of the independent men. The school blotter is a project of the Independent Men's Association. Dames Club The Dames Club continued to be an active organization this year, its fifth, even though the number of married students had decreased. Along with Alpha Phi Omega they sponsored a Penny Social in the fall. In March they put on a tea and reception for the girls of the MacMurray College Choir. Mrs. Tom Woerner served as president the second semester. Mrs. Robert McCreery was president first semester. Frank Barnett, Bob Harvey, Joe Smith, Don Wise, Kurt Kaufman. Board of Publications The Board of Publications is an advisory body for campus publications. It is composed of three faculty members and four students. The most important function of this organization is reviewing budgets of student publications. Joe Smith was chairman of the Board; Bob Mitchum was chosen to fill the vacancy left by Vic Powell. In May the board appointed the editors and business managers for next year’s publications. Pi Delta Epsilon Pi Delta Epsilon, national honorary journalistic fraternity, is composed of men who have two years of work on campus publications. Its purpose is to improve and stimulate journalism, and has existed on the Wabash campus since 1923. | Joe Smith served as president, Bob Harvey was faculty advisor. Better techniques were discussed in an attempt to improve publications at Wabash. Row One: Don Cole, George Headford, Jo2 L. Smith, Roger Parsell.

Poems, essays, and short stories are featured. Joe Smith served as chairman of the Wabash Review, and he was assisted by faculty members Phil Wilder and Walt Fertig. Wabash is fortunate to have this publication, because few schools of its size have enough interest or money for encouraging creative writing. Board of Editors The Board of Editors controls the Wabash Review. To them falls the task of reading and editing the contributed material, and deciding what is to be used. This year the board was especially effective in stimulating student contributions by keeping contact with those students who had expressed a desire for creative writing. The contributions were rich in articles of local color. Nick Steele, Phil Wilder, Joe Smith, Walt Fertig, George Sweeney. The Cave Don COLE DavE SEASTROM | Editor Business Manager This year the Caveman was under the editorship of Don | Cole, whose cartoons had proved so popular with humor | magazine fans during his first two years at Wabash. Early in the year the purpose of the Caveman was stated as “Wa- bash’s excuse for coeducation”. After the first issue everyone doubted just what kind of coeds this magazine was supposed to take the place of. In all, six issues were published during year, well sprinkled with the cartooning efforts of Cole plus the embryonic cartoonist Jack Updyke. Dave Seastrom had the post of business manager for the year.

Throughout the year it carried consistently good editorials on national problems affecting college students such as the draft or universal military training.

The staff has attempted to make the 1951 WABASH original as possible, although originality in yearbook publica- tion is obviously limited, and this volume has a necessarily striking similarity to previous volumes. The color has been concentrated in certain sections of the book, to accentuate the subject matter, and to make the layout more attractive. By attempting to maximize the number of pictures and reduce copy it was our desire to make the book more readable. We have tried to include in this book as many as possible of the things that each of you knows and will remember about Wabash College, and to picture the everyday life of the coliege accurately, Page Sixty-eight Wabash EDITORIAL STAFF Left to right: Bob Babb, Phil Smith, Tom Owens, Bob Erwin. As is customary, the coverage of spring sports is primarily limited to stories of the 1950 season, since it is impossible for BOARD OF EDITORS us to cover the current season, so near to the date of dead- Belaw pe Pani ection lines. The same is true of most other spring activities, and Pie Williams, Bob Raich. we trust that the same procedure will be continued in sub- sequent volumes of the WABASH. To the many persons who have contributed to the book by word or deed without recognition or reward the staff of the WABASH expresses its sincere appreciation, with a hope that you, in particular, will enjoy the book.

At Christmas a party This spring the SCA became a part of the national YMCA program. Essentially the activities of the club remained the same. Dick Daniels served as president. Newman Club The Newman Club was founded in the spring of 1950 by a group of students who wanted to learn more about various phases of the Catholic religion. Dick O’Connor was the organizer and first president, and the first faculty sponsor was Cyril Finnegan. This year O’Connor continued as president the first semester, while Tom Atkins was president second semester. Rev. Sego from Purdue was the advisor. This vear the Newman Club became affiliated with the National Federation of Newman Clubs. Meetings were held every week, and a joint meeting with the DePauw and Purdue chapters was planned.

Page Seventy-two ee een es Political Forum The Wabash College Political Forum began in the fall of 1950, stimulated by many who thought the campus needed a group for discussion of current political problems. The group was successfully organized, and a lot of spirit was shown for such a plan. Dr. Warren Roberts consented to be faculty advisor. Since its beginning the Forum has allied itself with the League to Lower the Voting Age, and has made a trip to Indianapolis to discuss this prob- lem with the governor and to study the machinery of the government. Local politicians have given talks before the forum on politics today. It is hoped that the Forum will continue to be a functioning organization on the Wabash campus. Early in the fall the Young Democrats and Young Republicans organized mostly to assist in election proceedings. They later gave way to the Political Forum, feeling that a bi-partisan group was better for year-round activities. Officers elected were Dick Griesser, chairman and Bob Schweitzer, secretary-treasurer. Page Seventy-three Science Clubs Row One: George Sweeney, J.

Under the direction of Charles Scott, a 1950 graduate, they increased the number and the quality of their productions. As usual, the Masonic Temple little theatre was used for two plays, while a third produc- tion, unique this year at Wabash College as well as the state of In- diana, was a series of one act plays in the round, held in the small gym. “Three Men On A Horse” was presented in the fall, and “De- tective Story” in the spring. Al- though limited to plays having | only a few female parts, the two | productions this year were superior in their execution. Kurt Kaufman was president of the Scarlet Masque for the first semester. Jim Hostetter was presi- dent the second semester. Dan Ferber and Brad Johnston were | business managers, while Bob Montgomery had charge of the stage crews. Membership this year was on a _ basis of quality points given for | work done in connection with the Masque.

Tau Kappa Alpha Two years of experience in any of three forensic activities—debate, speakers bureau, or discussion groups make a man eligible for membership in Tau Kappa Alpha, national honorary forensic fratern- ity. The Wabash College chapter is one of the charter chapters of this organization. Election to Tau Kappa Alpha is the highest rec- ognition one can receive for ac- tivity in forensics. Dr. W. Norwood Brigance served as faculty advisor for the group. Andy Andrews, a seasoned debater, was president. Debate Bill Clark, class of 49, returned to Wabash this year to coach a de- bate team composed of seven vet- erans and three freshmen. The British debate was held in the fall. Wabash was represented by Andy Andrews and Don Allen. The subject was nationalization of basic industries; Wabash took the negative. This debate lacked the color of previous British debates. In the spring the squad took to the road to represent Wabash against eastern colleges. The team was generally successful on_ this trip, and had an excellent season record.

The Speakers Bureau furn- ishes speakers from the stu- dent body to talk to audiences all over Indiana, and also out of state. Most of these audi- ences are schools and civic organizations. The Speakers Bureau has been operating continuously now for 24 years. Discussion groups are in- cluded in co-ordination with the Speakers Bureau. Both the Speakers Bureau and the Discussion Groups are under the direction of Dr. W. Norwood Brigance, who arranges the details of the talks, and _ occasionally gives advice to speakers in order to improve _ their speeches or discussions.

The Little Giants showed a fight and spirit in this game which wasn’t present in some of the later ones. ; The first score was made when quarterback Dan McLaren faded and threw to Ken Beasley, who went over standing up. Jack Hickman converted, and Wabash lead 7-0 early in the game. The Hornets just couldn’t seem to get started, as their passer Gillman was constantly dropped before finding a receiver. A few minutes after the first TD, Ted Steeg brook loose on a 56 yard end run and, aided by McLaren and Shepherd, who threw key blocks, went on to score. Again Hick- man split the uprights. Wabash 14—Kalamazoo 0. Ca eee ee Orman, t Rippy, g 7 co) The Cavemen climaxed their third long drive with an 11 yard run by Bob Mace, who scored standing up. Hickman missed his conversion by inches. Wabash made their last score mostly on the power of John Price, who took the ball to the 11, on short gains. Bob Holstine scored from there on an end-around. Hickman made his third PAT to end the scoring for the day. Wabash 27—Kala- mazoo 0. Wabash 7—Butler 7 In the big fight of the year Wabash’s thirst for victory was perhaps partially quenched. At Fair- view stadium in Indianapolis the Cavemen held Butler to a 7-7 tie for at least semi-possession of the Iron Key. The Little Giants looked like a com- pletely different team than the one that had played at Kalamazoo two weeks before. They somehow lacked the spirit that was shown at Kalamazoo, and this was evident in their playing. Butler set up the first score by partially blocking a Wabash kick. Then quarterback Tim Crawforth passed to Flavian Weidekamp, who was completely in the clear, for the touchdown. The PAT was good, and Wabash was on the short end of a 7-0 score. However the Little Giants wasted no time in scoring themselves, for three plays after the kickoff Bob Holstine, on a fake end-around, passed to Ken Beasley for the score. Hickman, per usual, converted and that ended the scoring for the day. However Wabash later in the game made a superb goal line stand to keep Butler from break- Holstine, e Kaiser, c ing into the win column. Time ran out with Butler in possession of the ball, and the game ended 7-7. This seemed to be the first game to mark the lethargic spirit in the student “body until it was finally aroused for the DePauw game. Wabash 14—Illlinois College 7 The mid-season spirit sag was evident in the Wa- bash team as they took the field against Illinois College. The game didn't prove too exciting as the Blue Boys were obviously outclassed, but the final score did not show the real difference between the two teams. The first Wabash score was set up when Bob Elkins hurled a pass to Ken Beasley which was good for 24 yards. Mike Gillis went the last five yards for the score and Jack Hickman converted. Hepler, Beasley, e Gillis, hb The Blue Boy's quarterback Bob Groves proved to be the star of the day for Illinois as he passed to monstrous end Ralph Christensen for their only score. Bob Scheller kicked the extra point and the game was all tied up. The break for Wabash came when Bob Elkins intercepted a Grove’s pass deep in Illinois territory. Ted Steeg took the ball 26 yards to the 4 and scored two plays later. Hickman again added the PAT, and time ran out with neither team scoring again. Wabash 14-—Illinois 7. Wabash 14—Knox 14 In the annual Homecoming tilt Wabash fought to a tie for the second time in the season. The Knox College Siwashers proved stiff competition for the Little Giants, and it was a close game all the WA it Al” RRS e-a9e E Homecoming bonfire Swope, hb way. A fumble by Wabash set up the first Knox TD as Harlan of Knox recovered on the Wabash 16. On the first play of the second quarter Hoehn scored from the six, and Gunderson booted the extra point. Later in the second quarter Wabash had an op- portunity to score when Dan McLaren intercepted a Lundeen pass on the Knox 35, and Wabash marched down the field. However, the Cavemen were forced to kick, and Knox took over. Wabash again threatened with a 30 yard pass from Bob Elkins to Kenny Beasley. Time ran out, however, and the half ended with the score remain- ing 7-0. After four minutes of the third quarter had ticked off, Bob Mace raced 34 yards on a quarter- back sneak for a TD, and Hickman converted to tie the game up. Minutes later, however , Pat emcee STRESS Ce Staaten Fairman, on a 48 yard run off tackle, took the ball to the Wabash 4 and finally scored after three futile attempts. The point was made and Knox led 14-7 In spit of this Wabash was not yet beaten, and Boby Mace hurled a 42 yard pass to Bob Holstine on the ten and he went for the score. Hickman converted, and the final tie resulted, neither team being able to score in the closing minutes. Centre 9—Wabash 7 The famed hospitality of the South evidently is not exercised on the football field, for the Cavemen, on their trip to Danville, Kentucky, came out on the short end of a 9-7 score to drop their first Hickman, qb Steeg, hb game of the season. A highly spirited group from Centre College showed the Little Giants that this same spirit is sometimes necessary to win a tough football game. It was Centre all the way until the final quarter when Wabash shook itself to rude awakening and realized that they were behind 9-0. In the closing minutes halfback Ted Steeg set up the score on an end sweep to the three, and from there John Price went the remaining distance to score. Hickman converted and the Cavemen were only two points behind. Once again Wabash got the ball but a fumble proved costly and the game ended with Centre in possession of the ball. The final score read Wa- bash 7—Centre 9. Gainer, fb McLaren, qb Hodapp, g Wabash 42—Franklin 13 Before a large Dad’s Day crowd, Wabash steam- rollered the Franklin Grizzlies 42-13. The large group of dads from all over the country seemed to heartily approve of the Wabash victory. It was Wabash all the way. Midway in the first period it started. Alert guard Bill Rippy nabbed a Franklin fumble on the Grizzlies 47. Gainer and Steeg took the ball to the one, and Steeg went over for the tally. Jack Hickman started off a perfect afternoon by kicking the first of his six extra points. Later in the first period, however, Franklin got a break when Dan McLaren’s lateral pass was inter- cepted by Marvin Armstrong, who raced to pay dirt. Tackle Will Nelp added the extra point. Mace took the kickoff back 57 yards to the Before DePauw game Mace, qb Franklin 25 and after a series of running plays Chuck Gainer scored. Soon afterwards on a blocked punt by Beasley, Bunney Woollen scored for Wabash from the 12. Right before the half ended, Bob Mace passed to Ken Beasley for a score and as the half ended the scoreboard showed Wabash 28—Franklin 7. Late in the third quarter after another series of running plays by Mace, Swope, and Gainer, Mace took the ball over from the one. Hickman, as usual, converted. Franklin came to life briefly as a concerted eftert pushed the ball to the Wabash one. Quarterback Gene Wallers sneaked across for Franklin’s last score. The attempted conversion was blocked by Strojny. The second and third string played most of the game for Wabash from here on and did a fine job. Before they left, however, Bob Mace passed to Ken Beasley for 51 yards to put the ball on the F rank- lin one. Gainer again plunged for the score, and the game was over before either team could tally again. The final score was Wabash 42—F ranklin 13. Sewanee 20—Wabash 0 Wabash dropped its second game of the season to powerful Sewanee eleven. Playing in a driving snow, 2000 feet above sea level, the Cavemen couldn't make headway against an excellent team. Wabash received the opening kickoff but was forced to punt. From there on it was all Sewanee. The Tigers reeled off the first touchdown with amazing speed. Dave Jones scored, with the extra point being added by Bill Porter. Woollen, hb Dad Day Crowd Later, Porter shook his man and scored on a pass play. The third touchdown was accomplished by Jones as he went 14 yards to score on a line buck. Wa- bash just couldn't get to going, and it was fairly evident that they were playing against a better team. The game ended 20-0 with Wabash on the short end. Wabash 13—Hanover 13 The contest started off badly for Wabash as Han- over scored in eight plays from scrimmage. Leo Kelig made the tally but the conversion failed. Hanover’s second score was set up by a Wabash fumble. Again the Panthers tallied quickly, this time with John Klaybor scoring and Guy Andress converting. Fitzgerald, c Crampton, t The Little Giants were then trailing 13-0, minutes after the game had started. However Wabash soon bounced back when sophomores John Hodapp in- tercepted a pass from Klingensmith and ran from the 45 to the 18. Three plays later Ken Beasley scored on an end-over-center. In the fourth quarter Hanover fumbled on the one foot line and Wabash recovered. Steeg made the score off tackle. Hickman converted to tie the score, and the game ended 13-13. Most of the credit for the tie goes to Bob Holstine, whose ex- cellent coffin-corner kicks kept the Panthers back on their own goal. It was after one of these kicks that Hanover fumbled on their one foot line, which set up Wabash’s second score. Wabash 34—DePauw 20 In their final game of the season the Wabash x Monon Bell Light, t College Little Giants proved that they really could play football. Trailing 20-6 at the half they came back on the field and proceeded to make four quick and seemingly easy touchdowns. DePauw drew first blood as quarter Gene Gep- hart threw 27 yards into the arms of end Jim Hollensteiner. Keesling converted and Wabash trailed, 7-0. A series of running plays by Gillis and Steeg set up a score for Wabash and Steeg plowed over from the two. Hickman’s kick was no good. On the Wabash kickoff, DePauw, on a criss-cross, ran the ball to the Wabash 20. Steve Nagy, Tiger back, three plays later took a pitchout and fell into the end zone. Keesling again converted. De- Pauw 14—Wabash 6. Price, fb The third DePauw score came near the end of the half and again it was a pass from Gephart to Hollensteiner. The half ended DePauw 20—Wa- bash 6. In the second half things were quite different. Seconds after the half had started halfback Mike Gillis intercepte d a Gephart pass and ran to the 35. After a few line plays, Ted Steeg took a pitchout, and on a beautiful play, scored from the 15. Hickman converted. DePauw 20—Wabash 138. Shawver, after D. P. U. got the ball on the kick- off and made no headway, went back to kick. Ken Beasley blocked the kick and also recovered it for the Cavemen. A few plays later, on the same pitchout play, Gillis went over standing up, DePauw Band and again Hickman converted. Wabash 20—De- Pauw 20. After the kickoff DePauw again could make no yardage so they sent Ward Shawver back to quick- kick. But Bob Holstine blocked this one, John Hodapp grabbed the ball and raced to the six, from which John Price scored in one play. In the closing minutes of the game Gephart faded to throw a desperation pass, but he was rushed so suddenly that he momentarily became color blind and threw at the red chest of Bill Orman who, grabbing the ball and moving like a jack- rabbit, went 54 yards to score. Hickman once more converted and that ended the scoring for the day. Wabash 34—DePauw 20. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL Friday, October 18, proved to be a jinx to the Wabash freshmen grid team, as they suffered a 12-6 defeat from the Butler Bullpups. Both teams appeared to be equally matched although the Wabash eleven found it difficult to function to- gether as a team. The Little Giants threw few passes, and seemed to be having bad breaks all afternoon. Stan Huntsman scored the lone Wa- bash tally from the two yard line in the second quarter. Higley missed the try for extra point. Glassmeyer, captain of the Wabash squad, was outstanding in offensive play. A more experienced freshman squad took the field against the DePauw frosh on November 17. Wabash dominated the Tiger Cubs in the first half to hold a 7-0 lead at the intermission. Fullback Stan Huntsman scored for Wabash in the second quarter after a 25-yard run and two line bucks. Quarterback Bob Inman converted. The Tiger Cubs rallied in the third quarter but failed to score. Then late in the fourth quarter Travis Kendall plunged over from the two yard line. He also added the extra point, to end the scoring for both teams. Final score: Wabash 7 DePauw 7. BASKETBALL (ren W. HarMeEson Coach Au GrISsCcH Trainer SQUAD Below: John Brayton, Mgr.

Jack Houston, Ed Wagner and Chuck Gainer of last year’s squad are no more, and only three lettermen, Chuck Goering, Al Keisker and Jim Cox, reported for the team in April. Among the new men, Herb Dixon, Pete Shepard, Jules Walker and Jack Vetterli show promise, along with Galen Weaver of the 1950 freshman squad. The newly appointed tennis coach, George Dyslin, is a former professional and seems to have the know-how to mold a good team. Bad weather has kept the team inside most of the time, but with a few warm, sunny days for practice the squad should be ready to go.

The Spring Carnival on March 21 was well attended. The Betas with the help of double winners Moser and Steeg edged the Phi Gams to capture first place. This carnival included such events as the 40 yard dash, a basketball speed game, free throws, golf putt, and broad jump. The Lambda Chis swept ping-pong honors as Lee Havens downed Jack Max- well, Independent, for the singles champ- ionship. Havens teamed with Dick Graham to win doubles from the In- dependent team of Maxwell and Ron Burnside. At the deadline date for this copy, the intramural race seems to be a four-way battle for the All-Sports trophy. At present the Betas lead the second place Sigma Chis by eight points. Phi Gams and Lambda Chis are third and fourth, respectively. Tennis and softball are yet to be completed. The growing popularity and success of the intramural program is due in large part to Coach Huntsman, who is pro- moting and supervising activities. Keen competition has been the rule in every sport.

We returned to Crawfordsville, paid another $250, and classes began. The faculty was strengthened by several additions. Occupational Survey dinners paced the fall social season. Turnouts were good. Al Wright joined the admissions staff, working in the Chicago area. The Butler-Wabash Iron Key battle ended in a tie. The football squad looked good. Traditional green pots were donned by the Frosh. The rhynes sang “Old Wabash’, and two Carusos suffered baldness from lack of voice. Sophomores triumphed around the greased pole. Homecoming brought on the bonfire pajama parade, and Bill Clark at the Strand. Delt pledges and Independents caught the pigs. Wa- bash spirit became real to the Frosh. “The Next 50 Years” was expounded from the Chapel rostrum by Weiner, Adler, and Sutherland. Pork barrel politics marked class elections. The Senior Council, under fire, overcame student lethargy. The Campus buzzed with Homecoming preparations. The Phi Delts, celebrating their centennial at Wabash, won the decora- tions trophy. Many alums enjoyed the Knox game. Dyer and Harding were beard champions, winning over Pierson and Elisha. Independent Men sponsored the SON yg TERROA annual Homecoming Dance, enjoyed a good turnout. The rapid pace was slowed in preparation for mid-semester exams. The Scarlet eleven won a smashing victory over DePauw. Thanksgiving vacation was one day longer. Page One Hundred Twenty-eight We returned from Thanksgiving vacation in heavy snow. Pat chaperoned sopho- mores at the newly instituted study camp for second year men. The three day stay at camp induced many to become seniors. Coach Huntsman’s intramural program was well under way as volleyball began. Cybernetics baffled many a _ would-be mathematician. A revitalized Scarlet Mas- que increased productions, stressed laughs, applause, sex. “Three Men on a Horse” was a first-class production. No admission was charged for students. Page One Hundred Twenty-nine Final exams began right after Christmas vacation. The between-semester recess was well earned. Another registration, another $250, and a new semester was in full swing. Bob Mitchum polished the Glee Club for a number of spring concerts. “Wabash AI- ways Fights” was proved again as the Scar- let downed the high-flying DePauw basket- ball squad. The Scarlet Masque repeated with “Detective Story’. The Dads’ As- sociation purchased a TV set for the Green Room.

Freshmen, now eligible, added many points. Spring intra- AL kept everyone busy. The baseball team started right by beating DePauw. The WABASH hit the press in April. The Air Corps denied our ROTC request. Page One Hundred Thirty-two May brought many big occasions, but Pan-Hel was biggest of all. The Council selected Mardi Gras as theme. Each fra- ternity planned trophy-winning booth decorations. Many weeks of pleasant an- ticipation became a reality on May 11 and i EEN 12. Frosh attended their first Pan, seniors perhaps their last. Regardless of age or rank, a good time was had by all, and Pan was the high spot of a successful year. Shown here are pictures from Pan 1950, and Delta Tau Delta’s winning booth. Page One Hundred Thirty-three Commencement marked the end of the road for the seniors. New Phi Betes were announced. Four years of Classes behind them, comps over, the seniors heard Sweeney and McGill speak. Diplomas were peceryad and undergraduate days were over.

That’s why so many schools, colleges, and universities, as well as prominent advertisers, insist upon fine engravings—as produced by master crafts- men at G. R. Grubb Co.—for true repro- ductions of all illustrations. For nearly forty years this company has been serving such institutions and business firms in every section of the country—and its repu- tation has become more enviable every year. You, too, can depend upon....... G.R. Gull ECO. ARTISTS ENGRAVERS 116 N. WALNUT ST., CHAMPAIGN, ILL. Page One Hundred Fifty-nine Acknowledgements As we turn the last pages of this volume, we want to hand out a few orchids to those who had a part in making the 1951 WABASH a success. First of all to our good friend Bill Tull of the G. R. Grubb Engraving Company for his valuable ideas and assistance in layout and in every other phase of the work. The top quality of engravings and art work supplied by the Grubb Co. is evident throughout the book. Jack Bundy of the S. K. Smith Company assisted in choosing the cover, and assuring its careful design and prompt delivery. A special orchid goes to Ralph Haas, who handled most of the photography in addition to holding another full-time job. Chuck Barnes, Al Stolz, Duane Stribling and Bob Stites all con- tributed excellent photographic work, and Helen Brewton of Olan Mills Studios did a fine job on the senior section. We particularly appreciate the fine printing job done by Red and Goodie and all the gang at the shop, and the patience they showed with us. Bob Mitchum proved to be a capable handler of our finances. Bob Harvey gave much in the way of sound advice, and was always able to supply needed information. Orchids to the fellows who served well without reward: Bob Raich, activities and faculty editor; Paul Tippett, sports editor; and Dick Williams, classes and residences editor; also Tom Owens, Jim Duncan, Walt Elisha, Bob Erwin, Bob Babb, Phil Smith and Jim Smith, who as- sisted in many ways during the year. Instrumental in handling sales of advertisements were Nick Longsworth, Jack Vetterli, Don Mitchell, John Blair, Skip Metcalf, and Bob Augsburger. Scott Delicate and Bill Stephenson were in charge of subscription sales; Dick Franks served capably as assistant business manager; and Dick Howell supervised the ad layouts. Victor Lindquist also aided the business staff in various capacities. To our advertisers, who have made this book possible, we are deeply grateful. Sincerely, Gail Mullin Doyle Pickett Page One Hundred Sixty 19S] 1951 19S] 1832 195] 1832 19S] 195] 1832 19S] 195] 1832 IQS] 1832 | 19a 13 Sau 19S] 1832 | IQS] 1832 19 Sta 1832 1951. 1832 19S] 1832 — 19S] 1832 ge || 1832 19a 1832 19am 1832 oy ae a ee
