Doering and Leo A. Dolan, Jr. Printed and Bound by H. G. RoEBL ' cK Son Baltimore, Md. f CCEWC CD The Staff of the fourteenth volume of the Pegasus has pursued four major poUcies in building this annual: 1. To produce a yearbook distinctively ditferent from any preceding volume. 2. To develop the book around a logical theme, embracing not only the title pages, but the entire volume as well. 3. To scrupulously avoid the insincerity and hypocrisy which vj; is a characteristic fault, especially in the Senior biographies, a of so many annuals. - ' 4. To attain the ideal of skilled craftsmanship in every de- partment — excellence in every detail. The Staff knows that the first three policies have been suc- cessfully carried out. As for the fourth, you who read this volume must decide for yourselves. You judge our craftsmanship; you evaluate the quality of our work. Carefully and conscientiously 0 we have done our best; we can do no more. The creation of new ideas has been satisfying; the administration of the task has been wearisome. Seeking excellence, we have left no detail unnoticed, and now we feel that no apoligies need be offered. You placed a trust in our hands : how well we have fulfilled it remains for you to say. The Staff EXPLANATION In the pages that follow, a sociological survey of a college community is presented for the first time. The individuals and organization who constitute this society are described in terms of the statuses they occupy, the roles they play, and the functions they perform. The institutional approach has been employed in organizing this book, and thus has a year ' s history been inter- preted. Washington College affords the social investigator a particu- larly compact and delimited segment of a larger culture. Never- theless, the same social processes that operate in most societies operate in Washington College ; and the social institutions accom- panying most group life are typical of this community. Social strata definitely exist; numerous groups are organ ized to perform various functions ; and definite patterns of behavior are observable. Utilizing the principles and methods of applied sociology, the objective social observer can readily describe this compact part of a larger configuration. In order that the general reader may derive the fullest enjoy- ment and understanding from this study, the use of technical terminology has been largely avoided, as have references unin- telligible to the uninitiated. This description of an old and esta- blished yet highly dynamic society should contribute to one ' s understanding of one ' s own social relationships. As a corollary to this proposition, this volume should afford an illuminating ex- ample of the work of the social investigator.

It is particularly appropriate that this sociological survey be dedicated to the head of the Department of Social Science — the man whose patient guidance has taught us how to make a study such as this. But more that that, it is because of his sympathetic understanding of the problems of the individual student that we respect him most. No one h too unimportant for him to give generously of his time and energy, or too humble to receive a kindly hearing, sound advice, and willing aid. Yet, for uncounted kindnesses constantly performed. Dr. Howell has sought no recognition, con- tent to remain unsung and unpraised ; and those whom he has helped without their knowledge — their names are legion. To him, the satisfaction is in the doing. My office is always open to those who need me; the latch-string is alv ays out. These friendly words, our first impression of Washington College, will endure after others have been forgotten — a symbol of human understanding — a cherised memory of our wise and kindly counsellor, instructor, and friend.

Although members of the intellectual and lower classes conduct their individual affairs with a considerable degree of freedom, it is the professional class which, in the final analysis, controls the important activities and shapes the general behavior patterns of the community.

Coberly INTELLECTUAL The importance of the individual is decidedly greater among the intellect- uals than in any other comparable class. (This excludes the professional group, since all of its members are individualists.) The intellectual class pro- vides the leadership in the extra-academic activities engaged in by the middle and lower classes as well as by itself. A popular superstition, existing outside of a community such as Washington College, attributes a great degree of serious- ness and thoughtful ambition to the intellectual group. Painstaking research and objective observation indicate that such characteristics are not present to a greater degree in this group than in any of the others, with the possible excep- tion of the underpriviliged. However, a more fully developed maturity and sense of values is a noticeable characteristic of most of the intellectuals. This is probably acquired through four years of intensified experience in making adjustments to continuously changing conditions. 17 PEGASUS - Benjamin Collins Beckham, Jr. Greensboro, Md.

Line up the class In stair-step order, And you ' ll find Ben Heading the line. {Ben says he is the biggest Little man in the eight states.) Recall a football game Or a basketball game: Ben was our No. I cheerleader. It has been said of him That he gave the students Transfusions of pep When they needed it most. 18 i PEGASUS Margaret Comes as close as is possible To living on the campus Without actually doing so — Just across the street. Because of this, she is A familiar figure To ' most everybody. Whether in the chem. lab, The library, or just On campus. She is always cheerful and friendly; She has enjoyed her four years Of undergraduate life. (And, if anybody should ask you. So has another good friend Of ours). Here ' s lots of Real good luck, Margaret! Margaret Crow Bell Chestertown, Md. Chemistry and Biology 2TA Sigma Tau Delta, 4 Mt.

He is one of the itw people That everybody likes: Fraternity brothers, Members of other fraternities, Non-fraternity men, All like Iggie. The boys like his I-don ' t-give-a-damn manner; The girls like his Benham-goes-to-tow n dancing; Everbody laughs at his Puns. (Even the faculty.) Besides all this, he is An actor, a dramatist, and A bang-up (banged-up.?) tackle. 20 PEGASUS Luke, One of the really outstanding men Of the Class of ' 38, Has gained more from His four years at Washington Than most people. This is the sincere and honest Opinion of the Staff. When Luke was a Freshman, He didn ' t look like A potential student leader; But he is one now — The best editor The Elm has had In our four years; Manager of football; And an able student. Lu e, Your industry, ability, and courage Should make you An outstanding alumnus. Henry Luther Bergdall Baltimore, Md.

Chemistry and Mathematics Orchestra, i, 2, 3 Distinguished Scholarship, 2 Meritorious Scholarship, i, 3, 4 Franks Is one of those quiet, Easy-going, unruffled Marylanders Who never lets any situation Worry him too much. He started out in college As a first-class student With a high index. And kept up the good work. During his first two years, He was a familiar figure To the whole school Every Thursday morning, Sawing away on his fiddle With Livingoodman ' s Swingsters. However, his unruly blond hair Wouldn ' t stay out of his eyes — So he gave up music Rather than get a Joe College haircut. 22 - - PEGASUS Matt Spent three years As a day-dodger, And then came to Hve in Rat Hall his last year. Well, sir, there were lots of Doin ' s up on that top floor, Which, for some reason or other. Aren ' t appropriate in the Pegasus. Aside from all that, Matt has been a regular Attender at the dances, Games, plays, and so on. Matt has more dignity Than most of us; When we think of him, It will be his quiet friendliness That we remember. 1 Madison Brown Bordley, Jr. Centreville, Md.

This quiet little lady Can be seen most any time Attending to her work And minding her own business; For this we admire her. She is one of the few people We have ever seen Who seems to really enjoy Doing a lot of hard work. She strictly adheres to The Golden Rule of Business, Mentioned in Economic texts — Live and let live. With a philosophy like this You will always have Many, many, friends, Mary Emily. 24 PEGASUS Kitty Receives the nomination Of the Staff as Our most dignified classmate. It ' s pretty hard to Break down that air of Calm reserve, But he or she w ho does Will find that Kitty is A very charming person. Since Kitty has been with us, She has been one of the Most active, busy socialites On the campus. Besides this, Kitty has served As an officer of A X n And a good one, we hear.

Accomplished the difficult job Of becoming better known And more popular Than many of the four-year Class members, and, furthermore. He started ' Pig-alley Deutsch ' : Dielen Sie die Karten, Herr Carney. 26 ' PEGASUS Audrey Has spent four years with us Getting a good deal Out of college. Because she commutes, She is just a little bit Hard to become acquainted with; But those who know her well Will tell you that She ' s a plenty good egg. ( ' Scuse the slang, folks.)

His future is bright, For already The Hoosier Hot-Shots Have offered him a contract. So long, S . . . K! 28 PEGASUS Mariette Is a brave girl, And we don ' t mean maybe-so. She was brave enough to Take Economics courses When the class was Full of Vandervoorts, Pegasus Staff-ers, Football players, And council members. And she the only girl. She also dared to Take courses from Pop When she knew he would Make it tough for her. In her two years at Washington College, She had made a high Scholastic record, and, incidentally, Has had plenty of good times. Mariette Lincoln Corrington Chestertown, Md.

The Zeta Tau ' s Will lose a good member When Alma graduates. 30 PEGASUS The hardest job in an annual Is writing your own biography. You can ' t says nice things; You can ' t criticize yourself. (Anyway, others do that for you.) So why not a few confessions ? Bill Worked hard, made good grades. Had his share of campus honors, And learned a lot. He got a lot out of college. Gained some things that he wanted, And others that seem Insignificant to him now. A success in important things, A flop in what he wanted most; Enjoyed college as he should, maybe. But not as he wanted to. Too sincere, too conscientious — Oh, well — what ' s the use?

(Editor ' s note: — Lee didn ' t know That this was to be in the book; We had to sneak it past him.) Lee has had many other activities- See the accompanying list — But this has been his big job. Lee is the best manager ever, And a sure-fire success In the business world. 32 PEGASUS Charlie First made the limelight In his Freshman year, when He starred in the Gymboree, Pushing leather under the name of Dewdrop Hague. (He won, too.) Since then, he has concentrated His efforts in other fields. One of Dr. Buxton ' s best chemists; A member of the Scholastic Honor Society; high scorer of The Thetas ' basketball team; And a member of Coach Ekaitis ' All-star intramural team.

(Reference: Dale Carnegie Hicks, Who sees all, knows all, And gets it mixed up.) Sid has also gained himself A reputation as a good teacher — Ask the high school boys. Besides that he is in That ultra-ultra crowd, The Honor Society. Keep it up, Sid. 34 - - PEGASUS As a Freshman Phil Was quiet and unobtrusive, And a little bashful; But he turned out to be One of the more prominent men In the Class. As manager of basketball, Phil made his varsity letter, Well earned by four years Of hard work. As a member of the Council, He proved himself capable of Handling responsibility. As Business Manager of the Elm, He worked with Editor Bergdall To give the Elm its biggest year. H H P 1 •m m 4 L. . ..- , Philip Asbury Hickman, Jr. Baltimore, Md.

Lee deserves credit, if ever Anybody did. But, more than His field goals, his three points. Or his leadership, we ' ll remember His friendly, unassuming personality — A real gentleman — a credit to His College, his Class, and to himself. 36 PEGASUS Sleepy Is a man of many talents. A pianist of ability, He has been a big help To Dr. Livingood and The Orchestra. Athletically, Sleepy is A bang-up infielder For the Varsity, And during the winter months He has stood out as a star Among the intramural Basketballers.

Greasy; Come back and visit us next year. 42 PEGASUS This lively sixty inches Of brains and personality Whom we call Shorty Has proven that size has Nothing to do with importance.

Thus started our official organization. Soon we demonstrated our abilities against the Sophomores, in the annual Freshman-Sophomore football game, Mygatt leading us to an 8-0 victory. The preceding day, we had won the tie-up after having lost the tug-of-war. On the gridiron. Young, Wilmot, Andersen, Salter, Huffman, and Kilby helped the Maroons to their first undefeated season. Doering led the Class in scholarship, with VanNewkirk and McDorman second and third. Having served wisely and well, our class officers were re-elected for our second year. Horowitz was placed on the Student Council in addition to Shorb; Leon so ably exercised his duties that he was later elected, unopposed, to head the student body. In class rivalry, the tables were turned on us, and we won only the tug-of-war. The girls won the intramural basketball championship, and VanNewkirk tied Walters for scholastic honors. In this year, also, Iggy Benham and Doris Unruh won for us the first interclass play contest. As Juniors, we settled down as apprentices in student leadership. Horowitz, Wilmot, and Hickman served on the Council, Bergdall, Mead, and Hickman on the Elm, and Doering and Dolan on the Pegasus. Walters, Lynch, Roe, VanNewkirk, Henes, and Doering were elected to the Honor Society, and Wilmot, Horowitz, Salter, Mead, Thompson, and Bergdall to OAK. Doering led the scholastic race for the year. Shorb and Beckham headed the Class; Taylor and Doering were re-elected. Ambitious to make a lasting contribution to the gayer side of college life, our Class introduced the idea of a Junior Prom, which later became an annual tradition. And then we became Seniors, our college days almost over. Bergdall was added to the Council, Horowitz and Hague to the Honor Society, and Shorb and Doering to OAK. The girls won the hockey championship; and, in the inter-class play contest, our play, written and directed by Iggy Benham, received honorable mention. And now comes graduation: the June Ball . . .

In both status and role, they are essenti- ally alike, the only principal exception being the traditional role of group super- vision of the underprivileged by the lower middle class. This behavior pattern stimulates much antagonism between the lower middles and the underprivi- leged. It is, however, a strictly seasonal phenomenon, reaching a peak of con- flict during the autumn months. By spring, the various processes of integration usually have resulted in a decrease to a minimum of class conflict and class- consciousness. UPPER Junior Lvia ss President Vice-President ...

Sophomores yell louder. Seniors make speeches and act important. But Alma Mater places the Juniors in an interval between the darkness of sophomore rat meetings and the light of senior revelation — an interval in which they are supposed to mix the cream of senior dignity with the crust of sophomore violence to produce a concoction labelled Jollity; hence, Jolly Juniors. This year, each Junior put his share of Jollity into a little red box, and tied it neatly with his room- mate ' s shoe string, and put it with his books where it wouldn ' t be dis- turbed. On the i8th of February, the little red boxes were dusted and carefully opened: and out trucked the second annual Junior Prom. And think what the Prom involved: lusty class meetings — imported dates — President Pfund and his Queen, Doris Hebditch — two hours to dress — pumping through the re- ceiving line — scenic skyscrapers lin- ing the walls of the gym — con- gratulating Prom Chairman Archie Morrison — Billy Antrim swinging Ride, Red, Ride — laughing and loving and swinging — and trucking on down to a Junior Prom that swung the world around. February 25th, the Juniors bade Farewell, Cruel World, and won the third annual inter-class play contest. Norma Rubin, Bernice Smith, and John Stack scored a hit with their presentation of the story of a humorous ingenue and her adolescent difficulties. Norma radiated girlish appeal, Bernie was NOT convincing as a future old maid, and Stackie WAS funny without his hat.

If, in 1936, a Sophomore had stopped a Freshman on the Washington College campus and had asked him, What do your classmates think they are doing here? he would have reverently doffed his rat cap and have said, We think we are making history A Freshman would not be invited to Pig Alley for this statement (though he probably would, just on general principles, anyway). Our Class of 1940 looked as if we would make good college material. We had our athletes, our leaders, and — think of it! — even students. On the football field, Morton, Cain, Kolar, Lovesky, and the Collins boys showed that the class was tough. Victory in the tie-up proved that the class was rough. Defeat in the tug-of-war demonstrated that the class could take it. Since we were anxious that the football sea- son be a complete success, Helen Los Kamp led the cheers, while Eddie Miller drum-majored onto the field with a band (history, in- deed!), and the ' 40 boys played hard. (Honorable mention to those in the grandstand.) When June Week came, and the Seniors were bragging, we had our spot in the limelight, too: yes, sir, the biggest bonfire, a reputation as good sports during the ratting season, and the loudest pajamas of all pajama parades.

Instead of a tie-up — that ancient sport of biting the dust, kicking, and more biting the dust — they introduced the cane rush (and more dust). They won this rush, drenched the Freshmen in the tug- of-war, and gained a tie in the foot- ball game. The Sophomores ' con- servative but effective ratting should receive special mention. Violent ratting was taboo: no all-day Pig Alley sessions; no more girls look- ing like painted Indians, with only rat caps to distinguish them; no more individual rat parties. Fresh- men! Bow to us!

AGENCIES OE C3NTI3CL Three formally organized agencies of control exist at Washington College : the Student Council, the Women ' s Council, and the Dean ' s Cabinet. There is no overlapping of function of these, the jurisdiction of the Women ' s Council being confined to the activities in and around Reid Hall of the female boarding students. The Dean ' s Cabinet derives its power from the leadership and pres- tige of its individual members through their influence on the different interest- groups in the community. However, the observer must be careful to note that the force of the group mores, some of which have crystallized into college regulations, exerts a far more powerful control than any of these governing agencies.

President Leon D. Horowitz Vice-President Elton L. Wilmot Secretary-Treasurer Lawrence W. Buffington This year, the Student Council had a hard task confronting it in attempting to live up to the high standard set by the councils of recent years; but it can be truly said that the 1937-38 Council, under the able leadership of Leon Horowitz, executed its functions efficiendy and made considerable progress in student government. The college year 1937-38 marked the final accomplishment of one of the Council ' s primary aims, the establishment of a student health protective system. Progress was also made in the effort to continue the policy of a gradual diminution of the hazing of Freshmen, and plans have already been made for a further decrease in ratting next year. The administration of the Honor System remained an important Council function. The regulation of personal conduct, dormitory management, class elections, and various other matters in student life continued as usual. As the most active agency of control at Washington College, the Student Council has contributed its share to the maintenance of internal harmony in the routine of college events. 90 President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer The Women ' s Student Government Association, popularly know as the Reid Hall Council, increased its functions this year, and tightened its control over the matters of conduct and daily routine within the walls of Reid Hall. In addition to this, the Council continued to direct special women ' s occa- sions, such as the Christmas program and the girls ' dances. An energetic attempt to decrease noise within the dor- mitory and to improve study conditions met with consider- able success. In connection with this, a freshman study period for five nights a week was established, and Monday Hazel M. Lynch President Women s OTuaent vj ovGPnmcnt T ssociation Hazel M. Lynch Mary Emma Taylor Norma Rubin night was decreed dateless in order to provide for sorority meetings, house meetings, etc. Ratting was also diminish- ed, and a five-minute limit was placed on all local phone calls. This year, a new precedent in election was established: the President and Vice-Presi- dent were elected on separate ballots, instead of by prefer- ential vote as previously. Although the Council was criticized is some quarters as being dictatorial, a general outlook on its activities for the year points to greater harmony and a more efficient routine in Reid Hall life.

It con- stitutes a meeting-ground for opinions and policies of both the College Administration and the student body. Al- though it is strictly non- legislative and without speci- fied powers, the Cabinet, be- cause of its very nature, is al- ways potentially the most powerful force in undergrad- uate affairs. The Cabinet has been criti- cized in some quarters for its inactivity. As Dean Jones has pointed out, the purpose of the organization is to discuss any grave situation which threatens the efficiency, repu- tation, or well-ordered func- tioning of the College in any or all of its aspects. Conse- Dr. J. S. William Jones Dean Uean s vvabineT quently, regular business meetings of the Cabinet are unnecessary, since the Dean or any student member may call a meeting at any time. The number of Cabinet meetings is an accurate statis- tical barometer of the moral and ethical condition of the College, there being a high inverse correlation between the number of meetings and the degree of adjustment of the various phases of the life of the College. The following student leaders automatically become Cabinet members when elected to office: the president of the Student Council, of Omicron Delta Kappa, of each of the three social fraternities, of each of the three upper classes, and of the Y.M.C.A; and the editors of the Elm and the Pegasus.

Because of their unimportance, these latter are not in- cluded in this survey. A continued trend toward combining social service with cultural enrichment, with emphasis on the former, was distinctly noticeable. President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer The Honor Society, organ- ized for the purpose of pro- moting scholarship, revised its constitution this year in order to become more repre- sentative of scholarship on the campus. The new admis- sion requirements provides for an increase in member- ship, and Junior members w ill be elected at the begin- ning of their Junior year. Provision is also made for the occasional admittances of other upperclassmen who are outstanding in scholarship. Under the new constitu- tion, any member falling be- low an index of 2.25 will be suspended. The Society has been con- Hazel M. Lynch President The rionop Oocieli) Hazel M. Lynch William C.

Under the competent leadership of Dorothy MacKenzie, the inex- perienced staff soon became adjusted to its duties, and, with the opening of the col- lege year last fall the Y was ready to assume the usual functions of Big Sisters to the Freshman girls. The Freshman reception and other activities were held as usual. The Y. W. C. A. joined with the Y.

Much credit is due the Y. W. for its work in supporting a rather dis- couraging venture in so able a way. The Y.

For the first time in the history of the College, women held membership in the Club, adding much to the prestige of the organization. The topic for intercollegiate debating was: Resolved, that the National Labor Relations Board should be empowered to enforce compulsory arbitra- tion in all industrial disputes.

The Club also engaged in radio debates over Baltimore stations. Only two members will be lost by graduation, William Doering and Luther Bergdall. With a group of experienced debaters remaining, next year should prove to be a highly successful season.

Its purpose is to foster these interests on an enjoyable intel- lectual level. Meetings in which students and faculty members participate are held monthly. This past year the society has been fortunate in securing versatile artists and speakers. Music was provided by Robert Moore, piano; Mr. Raymond Moffett, baritone: Edward Miller, trumpet; and Mary Emma TAYLOit Ptesident Lvlassical OocieTLj Mary Emma Taylor Elsie Wharton Mary Jane Hinman Mary Lillian Knotts James Spielman, violin. Guest speakers spoke on varied sub- jects of interest to classicists. Included were Dr. Corring- ton, Science and the Class- sics ; Dr. Mead, Classical Unities ; Professor ToUes, Classical Influence on Keats ; and Dr. Livingood, Ancient Education. Interested friends of members of the Society were present as guests of honor from time to time.

La Comedie de Celui Qui Epousa Une Femme Muette by Anatole France was given in the second semester by the Cercle as its second annual dramatic production. Programs during the year were well-received. Included were an illustrated lecture in French by Prof. Solandt, Doris I. Unruh President LvGrcle rpancais Doris I. Unruh Elton L. Wilmot S. Katherine Powell Elsie E. Wharton Nancy K. Nicholson Carrie E. Schrieber Mary Emily Breeding Prof. Lawrence Ford French songs by Mr. Moffett and lectures on France and her people. The aims of the Cercle are the dissemination of French culture and to make French a felt and spoken languag e on the campus. The meetings and projects are planned with this in view. Only those students who have completed at least four semesters work in the lan- guage are eligible for mem- bership. The Cercle is under the sponsorship of Professor Lawrence Ford, whose in- terest has contributed greatly to the success of the club.

These publications are complementary in their functions. The Elm constitutes a complete and detailed record of all activity. Its strength is that it records events as they occur; and thus it plays an important role in the routine life of the College. Its weakness is that, because it cannot get a broad and final picture of the entire year ' s activi- ties, its appeal is only transitory. The Pegasus, on the other hand, while playing a subordinate role during the academic year, surveys events from a historical standpoint, and summarizes the important occurrences of the year. It is thus seen that the Elm presents a vertical view of a year ' s group behavior, while that of the Pegasus is horizontal. I he Washinqton LI m Henry Luther Bergdall Editor-in-Chief Philip A.

McAdams 106 TL Elm— Vol. XXXVII Editor Bergdall planned a two-fold goal for Volume XXXVII of the Elm: a more complete expression of student opinion concerning campus questions; and more parti- cipation of the entire staff in publishing the paper, accompanied by more recognition for the staff members. Expression of student opinion was accomplished with marked success. This year, the Elm followed the trend of metropolitan newspapers and substituted a policy of editorial argumentation for the usual colorless policy of exposition. It attempted to reflect accurately the opinion of the student body even when this necessitated outspoken opposition to the Administration, taking a very definite stand on a number of con- troversial questions. In several important cases, the suggested reforms of the Elm were carried out by the College. Several editorials were written by the associate members of the editorial staff, in order to include opinions other than those of the editor-in-chief. The aim of promoting greater staff participation in publication was only partially accomplished: the staff, composed primarily of Freshmen, needed training during the first semester. However, during the second semester, several issues were edited directly and completely by staff members, under the supervision of the editor. This afforded practical experience for the more important members of the staff. The most noticeable defect in the Elm this year was an excess of advertising space. The staff, overlooking the fact that the existing advertising rates were too low in pro- portion to space, ambitiously sold too much space before it realized that the revenue would not be sufficient to print six-page issues. As the principal formal agency of information, the Elm increased its effectiveness in molding and leading student opinion, as well as expressing it. The Elm is now definitely recognized as an important factor in student life. Back row, left to right — F. Ford, Spielman, Kaufman, E. Davis, W. Smith, Thornton, Grieb, Ohler. Second row — M.

The first Pegasus was issued in 1909, and the second in 1910. On the latter publication, the Junior Class that issued it suffered a loss of I900, and the venture was discontinued. Seventeen years elapsed before, in 1927, the third Pegasus was issued. Since that time, it has been published every year by the Senior Class. The 1938 Pegasus is the first to be correctly numbered as to volume number. The 1930 Pegasus was numbered Volume IV, erroneously. At that time, there was no definite record of the first two issues. Ue P eq asus Vol. XIV ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Editor and Business Manager wish to express their appreciation: To Miss Mattie R. Whitaker, who furnished much of the basic information for the book, whose willing interest lightened many routine tasks of the Staff, and who was a constant court of final appeal in the many problems that arose.

The lounge is an important adjunct to the other recreational facili ties of the College, and the social prominence of the male student is in part informally determined by the number of visits he pays to Reid Hall. 110 PCESTieE Seven important agencies, whose principal function, socially viewed, is to lend prestige to the membership, exist at Washington College. The most im- portant of these is Omicron Delta Kappa, which draws its membership exclu- sively from prominent members of the professional, intellectual and upper middle classes. Group loyalty is stronger in these organizations than in any other type of organization in the community. This often leads to conflict among those group in which the members are of the same sex, usually taking the form of the striving of one group to enhance its prestige at the expense of the others. One of the most noticeable of the phenomena attached to these groups is the marked friendliness among the individuals as individuals, accom- panied by mutual distrust of each other as competitors. In the role of students, they are friendly ; in the role of in-group members, they are antagonistic. tm - LJmicpon UGlta l a Alpha-Psi Circle Founded at Washington and Lee, 1914 Established at Washington College, 1937 National President: Dr. George Lang ppa President Elton L.

Mead, Jr. Membership in Omicron Delta Kappa, the outstanding national honorary leader- ship fraternity, is the highest honor a man can receive at Washington College. Each year, the Circle elects to membership six prominent student leaders, who have excelled in one or more of the following fields: Scholarship, Athletics, Social Leadership, Music and Forensics, and Publications. It thus establishes closer contacts among students, faculty, and college activities. Its purpose is threefold: inspiration to, recognition of, and oppor- tunity for, service. It serves as an agency which encourages service to Washington Col- lege, gives prestige to those who are outstanding in their service, and which provides these leaders of the student body with opportunities to add to the scope of their activities. 112 OAK 113 I heta rXapDa I I u ppa Maryland Alpha Chapter Founded at Ozai s Hotel, 1 21 Established at Washington College, 1935 Grand Archon: George Van Feist Archon Benjamin H.

Defeats in the first two games, the black spot on the record, were due to the brevity of the training period. The team that concluded the season by defeating Delaware, the traditional sectional rival, could have won both of those games. Against the Mounts and St. Joe ' s, Washington made an excellent showing, surprising most of the dopesters who looked for easy victories by the visitors. After losing the first pair of games, the Maroons came back to smash out a one- sided victory over Hopkins, at Homewood. Most of the student body made the trip to Baltimore to see the game. Homecoming was a big event with the alumni back, a scout gathering, and dedication of the gymnasium in memory of Dr. Cain. In the concluding game, another general exodus of the students and faculty took place, this time to Newark, to see Delaware bite the dirt, 16-13.

His 102-yard run against Hopkins in 1934 till stands as the out- standing performance in Maroon history. RAY KILBY This big bruiser from Connecticut is another man who has gained fame as a star. All-Maryland tackle, Ray has been a tower of strength in the line for the last four years. BEN VANDERVOORT Ben took it in scrimmage and in games for four years before he got that letter; but he showed the boys that a fighting spirit and a dogged determina- tion to get what you want is what counts when the final reckoning is made. GOOP ZEBROWSKI Goop has won his letter for three years, and still has a year to go. His hard work and rangy build have stopped off many an opponent who sought to sneak around the end. RUBE WARE Rube stepped into Johnny Lord ' s shoes at center in his freshman year, and has been a first-stringer ever since. His heft has stopped many an attempted line- plunge. 15 13 ACE WILMOT Letter-man for four years. Ace has been a consistently fine performer. Always dependable and cooperative Ace has turned in many a good game for Old Washington. ANDY ANDERSEN Plunging on the line for four years, Andy has taken a terrific beating and has tome back stronger every time. Often hurt, Andy has shown that he can take it and worked hard and well. IGGY BENHAM Iggy didn ' t come to Washington Col- lege as a foobtall star, but he turned out to be one, and pulled down a letter for the last three years. The line will miss fggy next year. TUT TULLY Tut started on the squad as a sopho- more, and this year he crashed through with a letter — easily gained for untiring effort on the line. BUD MEADOR Light but aggressive. Bud looked good at halfback, and should be even better next year. His 50-yard run against Hop- kins was a highlight of the game. 131 BUFF BUFFINGTON One of the most improved men on the squad, Buff dame through in fine style this year and made his letter. Coach Ekaitis will be depending on him next year to fill the shoes of Kilby or Benham. GABBY CARMAN A tough nut from the Empire State, Gabby overcame a weight handicap, and finally made his letter; and is he proud of it! He has a right be, since he took plenty of beating in order to get it. HOWIE NEUBERT Howie has been one of the best men on the squad since the first game the played. In two years he has been a first-class end, and ought to make All-Maryland before he is through. FRITZ MORTON Fritz and Rube Ware alternated at center, and, between them, the position was well taken care of. Fritz is excep- tionally light for a center, but his scrappy aggressiveness more than offsets this dis- advantage. BILL COLLINS Bill was a high school star down at Salisbury, and showed up well at half back this year. He is another man who will have more opportunity with the grad- uation of several regulars. CHARLEY GEISLER Or.e of the two first year men to make his letter, Charley should prove to be a real football star before he leaves Wash- ington College. With Gibby ' s graduation, he ' ll have a good chance to become regular quarterback. BILL SMITH Basketball is Bill ' s main sport, and this year was his first try at college football. He did well all season, particularly in the St. Joe ' s game, and had little trouble making his letter. JOHNNY STACK This rugged Eastern Shoreman lacks height, but was hard and solid enough to stop plenty of attempted line crashes. With some of the first-stringers graduat- ing, he ' ll have a chance to hit the lime- light next year. MARTY CAIN Nobody deserves a letter more than this sophomore star: he has probably been hurt more than any man on the squad. Consistently good Marty is one of the best of the lii CHUCK COLLINS Chuck was this year ' s regular fullback, and was a big factor in the offensive that scored 141 points in eight games. He looked especially good against St. Joe s, intercepting a pass and starting a play which resulted in Washington ' s touch- down. JOSH HORNER Although a football star in prep school, Josh didn ' t go out for the team until this year. Like his brother, Paul, a West- ern Maryland star. Josh is a linesman; and a good one, too. JOE BREMER Joe is the other Freshman to make his letter. Although light, Joe is tough, and looked good while alternating with Chuck Collins at full back.

M. C 49 Washington 981 — Opponents 792 This year ' s edition of the Flying Pentagon started out to be one of the greatest basketball teams in the College ' s sports history, but a fatal slip in the next to the last game put it in the category of really good clubs, but not all-time champions. Averaging about 47 points a game, the team won fifteen out of twenty-one, and lost the Maryland Intercollegiate League championship to Mt. St. Mary ' s by half a game. The season ' s best game was a one-point defeat by the University of Maryland, on February 16. The best team to oppose the Maroons was Wayne University, of Detroit, according to the general concensus of opinion. Highest scoring was done in the season ' s finale against P. M. C; in only one game did the Maroons score less than thirty points. Memories of the graduating stars will live long after they have gone: Horowitz with his tricky pivot shot, and his popularity on the campus; Wilmot with his fast cut shot, and his leadership in student activities. Zebrowski was high scorer for the state; Smith made the second team. Kardash and Neubert, Sophomores, turned in some excellent performances. Back row, left to right — Kibler, Coach, Leiman, Asst. Mgr., TuUy, Zebrowski, Selby, Morrison, Asst. Mgr., Ekaitis, Asst. Coach. Second row — Pfund, Wilmot, Neubert, Davis, Smith, Lovesky, CoUins. Front row — Rambo, Young, McMahan, Kardash, Walatkus, Bush, Mead. 133 WEACECS €rTHE ACE WILMOT Never high scorer, never flashy, never seeking individual honors or praise, Ace stands out as the most valuable man on the team. For four years he has been consistently good; never has he turned in a poor performance. His spirit of cooperation, and his efforts for greater teamwork have been responsible for many of the scoring honors and grandstand plays for which his teammates received credit; besides this, he has the highest average for foul shots. He will be the most difficult man to replace. LEE HOROWITZ One of Lee ' s several claims to fame is his bucket shot, at which he is past master. In top form, Lee was the most formidable threat on the offensive. Although he made no attempts to play the stands, Lee was by far the most popular player with the spectators. He is one of those rare people who excel in everything they do; his record shows scholastic honors, leadership distinction, and great popularity — all in addition to his abihties on the court. MAC McMAHAN Coach Kibler ' s chief use of Mac was to play him against some opposing star who needed to be kept down and tired out. A sprinter from the track team, Eddie could run rings around any- body, and generally get them off their game. Besides being a whiz on the defense, Mac specialized on long shots from the side of the court, and generally sunk ' em. GOOP ZEBROWSKI Zeke was not only high scorer for the team, but also for the entire state. His tall, rangy build, added to his other abilities, makes him a serious threat n any game. His total was 282, 125 ahead of his nearest teammate, Mike Kardash. Zeke made center berth on the All-Maryland team. Last year, he placed second in scoring honors, bested only by Towson ' s Vic Probst. Zeke hasn ' t missed a game in his three years at Washington, and, by all indica- tions, will miss none next year. 134 HOWIE PFUND III health and accidents kept Howie from playing as much this year as last, but, at that, he participated in eighteen games out of twenty-one. In addition to being a good defense man at guard posi- tion, Pfundy is probably the best dribbler on the squad, when it comes to using either right or left hand, as the situation demands. His favorite spot for shooting is inside the foul circle. BILL SMITH Playing his third year as regular forward, Bill looked good in most of his games. He was third high scorer for the team, and was selected on the All-Maryland second team. Bill is a good man for long shots, and prefers them to rebounds off the backboard. Partici- pating in every game, he was a constant threat to the opposition. HOWIE NEUBERT Howie was the most improved man on the squad this year, and turned in some really fine performances. His favorite trick is a hard charge into the end of the court, a fake at the basket, and a final flip that usually goes in. Probably the wildest dribbler on the squad, he is a hard man to stop when he gets going. He played in nineteen games. X MIKE KARDASH The fans ' delight, Mike is the little bird who is plenty good and knows it. Usually the shortest man on the floor, Mike knows how to overcome a height disadvantage and run the opposing team ragged. In his first year as a regular. Hike copped second scoring honors on the team with 157 points. His scrappy aggressiveness makes him the spark plug of the team. : r 6?l CHUCK COLLINS Chuck came so close to making his letter that the Staff thought he deserved to be included with the lettermen. Although playing in less games than any of them, he made more points than some of them, and missed the required playing time for the letter award by inches. By next year he will probably be a regular starter. 135 rENCE - ELSTECS THE SCHEDULE April 13 — West Chester Home April 15 — Juniata Home April 16 — Delaware Home April 20 — Loyola Home April 23 — Long Island U Home April 27 — Dickinson Away April 28 — Western Maryland Away April 29 — Mt.

Coach Kibler ' s boys, three times winner of the Maryland Intercollegiate League crown, should repeat this year; but it is doubtful if the team can go through the season with only one defeat, as was done last year. This year ' s machine is considerably stronger on the defense but is weaker on the offense. Although only two men, Evans and Turner, were lost to the squad, these men were big guns at the plate, and their loss is felt. The pitching staff is well fortified, with Lefty Copple returning in good shape, and two Freshmen, Long John Selby and Harold Rayne, promising good performances on the basis of brilliant high school records. Bill Smith, Mike Kardash, Sleepy Howeth, and Bobby Everett, last year ' s infield, should click again; while Charley Geisler and Charley Fetter, first year men, may displace one of the regular sackers. Marty Cain, Art Urie, Izzy Ross, Norman Dudley, and Gus Rambo are the most likely outfielders; and a host of Freshmen are out for the team. Howie Pfund and Joe Bremer are both good behind the plate. This is a survey of the team ' s possibilities, not a resume of the season. By the time this is in print, the season will be over; but these conservative predictions will serve to estab lish a record of the outlook for iq S. Wj -- ' - f e !r ' Urie, Gladstone, Bush.

Gibby Young, for three years an outstanding star in intercollegiate circles, is back for his last year on the team. (We refer you to page 77 for a partial list of his accomplishments.) Teamed with him will be another star, Eddie McMahan, the long dis- tance runner. Mac has a fine individual and relay record behind him, and, if he reaches his usual form by mid-season, he should garner several laurels at the two intercollegiate meets that wind up the schedule. Last year ' s point-scoring relay team is back intact, and should score plenty of points. In addition, there are a number of promising individual performers on the squad. In the field events, last year ' s weak spot, the prospects are better, although there is no outstanding star. Andersen, Ware, Tully, Young, and Kilby should show up well, while other members of the squad may prove to be point-getters. As is the case in baseball and tennis, track comes too late in the year to record the season ' s results. However, the dicussion above and the picture below serve to adequately include this pattern of play into this survey. r %. e -ja--« ' ' ' Standing, left to right — Mead, Mgr., Tattar, Asst.

Although handicapped by a short pre-season training period, due to excessive rain, the squad was not long in rounding into good shape. The past two seasons were unnsuccessful, from the standpoint of wins and defeats, since the sport was new at the College as far as intercollegiate competition was concerned. For the first time, the squad has hopes of winning a majority of its matches. Although Jean Harshaw, last year ' s feminine star, has been lost by graduation, the return of six experienced players makes the prospect seem bright. The addition of tall, rangy Alex Zebrowski will greatly strengthen the team. Tommy Eliason, a newcomer, also looks good. Dr. Davis ' expert coaching is beginning to reap reward in the men that he has had under his tutelage for the past year or two, and the return of last year ' s manager, Lee Dolan, serves to steady the team. With an ambitious schedule of eleven games — the longest schedule yet arranged — the 1938 tennnis squad should turn in the best record to date. Standing, left to right — Dolan, Mgr. Medford, Zebrowski, E. Davis, A. Davis, Coach.

The hockey season this year was unusually successful from the standpoint of in- creased interest and participation, although the Seniors won the championship with little difficulty. The Sophomores gained second place, with the Juniors third, and the Freshmen fourth.

High scoring laurels went to Doris Unruh, who accumulated 89 points in seven games. Margaret Bell and Jean Richardson placed second and third respectively for high scoring honors.

The points are gotten not only by participation but by training, hiking, exer- cises and any other activity the Director may choose to recognize. To the girl who has the greatest number of points each year, a silver cup is awarded. Winning the cup two years successively entitles the girl to permanent possession of the cup. Audrey Clough has won the cup three times, and will graduate with the highest number of points of any girl in the school. Miss Clough has played four years of class hockey, and two years of class basketball. She is a member of both hockey and basketball varsities.

Taylo 142 TU June Fete of 1938 Doris Unruh Prince Hazel Lynch Princess The June Fete of 1938 presents Miss Hazel Lynch as the Princess, Gretel, and Miss Doris Unruh, as the Prince, Hansel. The choreography is written and directed by Miss Doris T. Bell, through whose efforts the entire Fete is made possible. The dances and pantomime will be entirely different and the Fete promises to be better than ever before. Miss Bell deserves high praise for her work with the group dances and the artistic inter- pretation of the more difficult roles. 143 I he otoPL) Once upon a time, there dwelt near a wood a poor woodcutter with his wife and two children, Hansel and Gretel. There was a great famine in the land, so the children were often sent to hunt berries to help out their poor meals. One day they wandered deeper and deeper into the forest until they became lost; and after trying to find their way out for a long time, they came to a clearing with a small house in it, where there lived a wicked witch who caught children and baked them into gingerbread and ate them. The children were so tired and sleepy that they lay down and went to sleep. The Sandmen came and scattered sand in their eyes so they slept deeply and had nice dreams of flowers and jewels and things to eat. When they awoke the wicked witch had set a trap and when Hansel went inside to see what the big cage was for, the door slammed shut and locked him in. Then the witch came out and caught Gretel and made her work for her. Gretel brought Hansel things to eat and tried to cheer him and together they planned to destroy the wicked witch. So when the witch made a big fire in the oven to bake Hansel, Gretel stole the key and unlocked the cage door and Hansel jumped out; and they ran and pushed the witch in the oven when she opened the door to see if it was hot enough. The wicked witch was killed and all the gingerbread children came to life and crowned Gretel Princess of the Forest and they all lived happily ever after.

Howard Mr. Frank Goodwin The Administration determines the shape of events at Washington College, and the faculty conducts the academic life; but these four assistants to the Administration — Miss Mattie, Miss Kate, Mrs. Willson, and Frank — are the best friends that the students have. As secretary to the Dean and to the Registrar, Miss Mattie has the tedious and thankless task of seeing to it that the continuous, complex stream of student life runs smoothly: she has become a walking encyclopaedia of solutions to the students ' problems. Miss Kate, with her pleasant smile and kindly manner, has paved the way for many a timid student to penetrate the presidential sanctum sanctorum. Mrs. Willson, the mother to all the college girls, is likewise a capable person who knows how to put the boys at ease with the opposite sex during their first days as Reid Hall Cadets. And Frank, as head of the men ' s dormitories, is not only at the constant call of the students if something goes wrong, but is also the unofficial advisor to his many friends who talk with him while he throws the rubber ball for Tibby, the pup. College administrators and professors can be replaced, but the machinery of the college routine would creak loudly and complainingly if these four trouble-shooters should leave. 147 PEGASUS - KEEPING HEALTHY— YOUTH FLAMING AND OTHERWISE Miz Lynch sho ' do have a wicked screw-ball.
