VASiiiNr,TON College ,„ „■ i M. ■. M:4 iii i..t.. J). uuflSHincTon coLiece of the past Washington College is known throughout the United States as one of the ten oldest col- leges in the country. Its origin goes back to 1707 when a school was founded in Chester- town. In 1723 when the General Assembly of Maryland passed a law providing for a public school in each county the school in Chester- town was incorporated into the system. The school first gained inter-state recogni- tion in 1732 when it was given the title of college. This plan of colonial recognition was instituted by Rev. William Smith who solic- ited prominent men of the day to contribute toward the foundation of the college. In 1782 a charter was granted from the Maryland Assembly for the creation of a college. The charter provided that the Board of Visitors of the Kent County School could enlarge itself to twenty-four members and undertake the creation of a college. When it had gained five thousand pounds it was to be declared a body corporate with the powers to conduct examinations and to confer degrees. On May 14, 1783, the first collegiate graduation in the history of the state took place. Rev. Smith gained the required money by popular sub- scription and the leasing of lots that belonged to the college. One of the outstanding con- tributors was George Washington, who. be- side giving fifty guineas, granted the use of his name as the official title of the college. Past records have shown that Washington accepted one of the major positions on the Board of Visitors and Governors and attended at least two of the meetings. The campus began to take its shape as early as 1783. The first collegiate building was constructed on the site ot the lonner county school of 1723. vhich had burned to the groinid in 1827. Follcnving this misfor- tune classes vere held in Chestertown in private homes for nearly seventeen years. In 1844 what is now known as Middle Hall was erected, and in the following ten years East and West Halls were constructed from private donations from the citizens of Kent Coimt . The scholarship system was establislied in 1839 for worthy students of the state. In 1891) the Maryland Assembly established an annual allotment of funds for support of higher edu- cation. Bv an amendment of the charter in 1922 the state was allowed to appoint one half of the Board of Visitors and Governors. The people of Chestertown have always taken an active interest in the well-being of Wash- ington College. This interest of good faith was again demonstrated in 1892 when the people gathered funds for the erection of a new gymnasiinir. A normal school was estab- lished in 1896 but discontinued in 1910. The acception of girl students became a para- mount issue in 1890 when the President of the College, Charles W. Reid, sanctioned the admission of girls to Washington College. In 1906 an administration building was constructed and named after William Smith, who played such an imjjortant role in the establishment of the college on a grade A standing. It burned to the ground in 1916, but another striking likeness was built two years later. At the same time a separate power plant was established for heating all college buildings except Reid Hall. In 1912 a new gymnasium was constructed to take care of the ever increasing demand for further development in the athletic department. The gym was named in honor of James V. Cain, during whose administration it was erected. RcitI Hall, holding seventy women, was l)ui!i in IS ' .lii. but A as remodeled to copy the st lc ol Washington ' s home at Moiuit Vernon, in 1929. Hodson Hall first opened its doors to the student body in 1936. Before this time meals were eaten in the bottom of Cain Hall, Hodson Hall acts primarily as a dining place h)r the student body. Dining the winter of 1939 Dunning Science Hall and the George A. Bunting Library were opened. Dimning Hall houses the laboratories and lecture rooms of the Departments of Chemistry, Biology, and l ' h sics. The George A. Bunting Library is jirobably one of the finest of its size in Amer- ica. Housing over 40,000 volumes it has fur- nished the finest reference material to stu- dents majoring in all fields. It also contains the meeting places of many of the campus organizations, and an excellent museum- exhibit room. In 1944 the Ringgold House, one of Maryland ' s most famous and beautiful Eighteenth Centiny homes was presented to the College as a home for the President. A notable expansion of late has followed the close of the war. G.I. Hall housing fifty veterans grew out of the demand of the ex- servicemen for higher education. Waters and Ferguson Halls as temporary lecture quarters were constructed to accomodate the increased number of students. Thus we have seen Vashington College grow from one building in 1783 to a campus containing fifteen major buildings. Even on the campus today we have a blending of the modern with the old. Middle Hall in 1844 and G.I. Hall in 1946, a hiuidred year span in collegiate architecture. Washington Col- lege, born six years before the American Government, has survived every major critical period in . merican history and has always been able to hold its head high because of the tvpe and caliber of graduate it produces. Freshman rat party in 1939 ujORLD uuflR II CHflnces THincs With tlie coming of V-J day, Washington College was faced with its largest enrollment in 166 years. By September 1947, the student body totaled 473. In less than one year the administration had done more than a lion ' s share in creating facilities for the heavy de- mand of a higher education. Through the cooperation of the War Assets Administration the college was able to construct what is now known as G.I. Hall, which is used solely for the housing of 50 veterans. Fraternity Row, which had formerly been the homes of. fac- ulty members were vacated to make room for the local chapters of the three national fra- ternities. Housing was not enough and tlie far sighted college planners saw this. William Smith Hall was overflowing with students and it was ne- cessary during the vacation months of 1947 to construct Ferguson and Waters Halls as tem- porary lecture halls and advisory quarters for the faculty. The business office was faced with numerous problems concerning the feeding of nearly five hundred students. A change of kitchen personnel and the initiation of a seating arrangement plan aided considerably in solving the problem. To accomodate the influx of students and still retain the feeling of personal student- professor relation the faculty has been in- creased by nine plus two new members to the athletic department to help place the neces- sary emphasis on intercollegiate sports. This is Washington College ' s answer to the state and nation during the educational crisis of 1948. Basketball game: Veterans vs. }.V. VETS RETURn From the South Pacific, lioni the Phillip- pines, fioir, the European theater ol ojjeia- tions, and even from the Pentagon and Ironi e er branch ol the service, the veterans ot World V ' ar II began to return to Washington College in Febriiarv of 1946. ' Phe first wave to hit tiie ccjllegiate beachhead was less than a score in number biu by September 1946 the invasion of the Hill had begun. Some had landed for the first time to encounter the scholastic shellfire while others were very fa- miliar with the terrain. The beachhead was broadened and by September 1947 207 vet- erans were in action and from all appearances, both official and inioificial, the situation is well in hand. The G.I. ' s quickly adjusted themselves to the new collegiate modus i endi and settled down to a four ear hitch on the Eastern Shore. Within eighteen months the had proven to the faculty and ihemsehes that their ser ice experiences had ])aid oil both scholastically and socially. According to the administration theii axerage indices surpass the indices of any other group. The vets liave liteialh taken the sports field by storm. What tliey may have sacrificed in years they have made up in spirit and determination. Such eteran athletes as McLaughlin, Steele, Mac- ileg, Tattersall, Jones, Coakley, Romanition, Lewis, Sutton, Tilley and a host of other vet- eran sportsmen have pro en this point in every major sport. As a final analysis, it can be said thev have aided in creating a greater campus community and in later years will contribute to a stronger nation. Buiilms; Lihr, Smith Hall. Ca liiflSHincTon coLiece todav For a college of scarcely more than five hundred students, Washington College takes pride in its many and well diversified campus activities. Many of the organizations that were forced to cease operations during the war years have blossomed forth with a new and unlimited vigor. One of the outstanding of the war baby organizations is the Paul E. Titsworth Forensic Society. Under the faculty supervision of Dr. Charles B. Clark, Mrs. Winifred Opgrande, and President Paul Pitcher the Forensic Society has aimed at creating and stimulating public oninion on all major issues of the day. Throughout the year the Society has brought speakers on highly controversial subjects to the college. The Forensic Society takes an active part in declamation and debate both here and away while winding up its annual activities by participating in the National Forensic Tour- nament at Mary Washington College in Vir- ginia. The Mt. Vernon Literary Society under the faculty sponsorship of Prof. Paul E. Solandt and President Jack Hitchcock have attempted to stimulate campus concern in classical sub- jects and encoiu ' age creative writing by the annual Mt. Vernon Literary Contest. The stellar campus group in the field of dramatics is the Washington Players. Under the faculty sponsorship of Mrs. E. Winifred Opgrande and the leadership of Jack Mac- Hale this group of collegiate thespians is responsible for the three annual campus dra- matic productions. One of the lesser known campus organiza- tions is the Science Club. Throughout the year the Society of Sciences under the direc- tion of Dr. and Mrs. Carrol B. Nash have attempted to bring scientific facts to the stu- dent body as a whole. This group does not just limit its membership to Science majors but is open to the entire student body who may have any interest in science. The newest organization on the campus is the . rt Club. It was founded by Mrs. Martin 10 rig Science Hall, Bunting Libr for the purpose of bringing art closer to the student and to arouse a taste in all lor some t pe of art. In the field of puljlicaiions Vashington College can take its stand beside any other college of equal size. THE ELM, a weeklv newspaper published by the students for the students, keeps the student body informed of all major happenings here in our scholastic community. THE PEGA.SUS, the annual yearbook, gives a photographic history oi Washington College year by year. Despite increased expenses and printing difficul ties the Pegasus furnishes a campus history well worth the price. A lesser known publication but especially well known by freshmen is the Washington College HANDBOOK. This pocket sized booklet tells the freshmen e er major fact and figure that he or she must know about the Hill. All three of these pub- lications fall luider the faculty supervision ol Ralph R. Thorton, of the English Dejjart- ment. The campus can proudly look upon its Greek letter organizations. The honorary fraternity for men is Omicron Delta Kappa luider the presidency of James Rook. For years it has strived for greater harmony be- tween the faculty and student body. For scho- lastic achievement the campus can look to Sigma Sigma Omicron, the honorary scholar- ship fraternity which aims to stimidate greater scholastic achievement among the student body. Three national fraternities are open to male members of the student bod ; the Epsi- lon Theta Zeta of Lambda Chi .Alpha, Beta Eta chapter of Theta Chi and the Beta Omega chapter of Kappa Alpha. .All three fraterni- ties are well represented in the extracurric- idar activities on the campus. The Interfra- ternity Council, composed of three members from each of the national frats, acts as a super- visory board for fraternal policy at Washing- ton College. To the girls of Washington College three national sororities offer membership; Kappa Gamma chaptei- of .Alpha Chi Omega, the Sigma Tau chapter of .Alpha Omicron Pi, and the Gamma Sigma chapter oi Zeta Tau Alpha. All three ot these sororities have played an active role in campus affairs and philantropic work throughout the nation. The Panhel- lenic Council composed of two members from each sorority, handles all major problems dealing with sorority or inter-sorority affairs. The appreciation and fostering of good music on the campus is kept alive by the Washington College Glee Club under the direction of Mrs. E. Winifred Opgrande and the Washington College orchestra under Dr. Livingood. Both of these musical groups par- ticipate acti ely in Thursday morning assem- blies. In the field of athletic organizations the stellar group is the Varsity Club. All mem- bers of thi.s roganization must have earned their Varsity W before they are eligible for membership. Thus it can easily be seen that the Varsity Club is composed of the major athletic men on the campus. The Var- sity Club aims at building up good fellowship and fair sportsmanship. They are also re- sponsible for the issuance of the varsity sweaters to all members. The major collegiate sports open to all who show initiative and skill are football, basket- ball, baseball, soccer, track, tennis, golf, and lacrosse. Most of the major progress in base- ball has been due to the efforts of Tom Kib- ler. The newest sport to take its place among the others is lacrosse under the mentorship of Doctor Clark. Lacrosse at Washington Col- lege was born out of the efforts of thirty men who have an earnest desire to play on a win- ning team. A strenuous schedule of inter- mural sports under the auspices of Coach Ekaitis consisting of touch football, baseball, soccer, tennis, and volley ball have been backed wholeheartedly by the student body. Thus we see that not only does Washington College offer diversified scholastic curricula but also the same in the field of outside acti- vities. A college such as ours needs the active support of every student to caintain the high level of all the major organizations covered. Through this mediuin we can show those outside of our community that we have just as an intense interest in not only scholastic activities but the organizations that help make the college the most pleasant four years of our lives.

The Proposed Administration Building UJflSHinGTOn COLLGGe The post-war enrollment increases ha e placed great demands upon the centers of higher education, regardless of their fame, facilities, background, or faculty. Washing- ton College has ably met these problems of the period. However, the future must not be ignored. Business, science, education, medi- cine, the ministry, are constantly raising their standards and seeking additional perfections. To realize these goals there must be more college-trai ned men and women to take posi- tions in these fields. High school students are becoming more aware of this need and in- creasing numbers of them are preparing to enter colleges and universities each year. Washington College has, for one hundred and sixty-six years, maintained an enviable record of scholarship and training, and this reputation will draw additional hundreds of high school graduates to the College. Forsee- ing this influx, the leaders of the College have made plans, some complete and now in prac- tice, others incomplete, to properly maintain educational standards for future students. One of the plans already in practice is the improvement and enlargement of the faculty. During the war, the teaching faculty dropped to fourteen members, and with the student enrollment at one hundred and ninety, the jjrofessor-student ratio was about thirteen- and-a-half to one. This ratio is presently about eighteen to one, and while theoretically cjuite satisfactory, is higher than desired by the College. Several new departments have been added to the curriculum, and former departments ha e been improved upon. Within the last three years regular Departments of Art, Speech and Dramatics, and Philosophy and Religion have been set up. Philosophy and lieligion has been expanded to such a degree that sufficient hours are now offered to satisfy retjuirements for a minor. Psychology is also available for a minor. Another step in the readjustment program is the erection of new buildings and the re- 14 The Proposed Dormitories OF THf FUTURE modeling of present stiuctnies. There are architect ' s chawings of proposed buildings at the upper portions of these pages. One is a new men ' s dormitor group unit, and the other is an administration and office building. The dormitories will be situated on the tri- angular plot at the northern end of the cam- pus, bevond Fraternity Row. The layout of these dorms will follow a new plan, which replaces the present system of having two men sleeping and studying in one looni bv having two men sleeping in one room and sharing an adjoining study room with two other men. The administration and office building vill be built on the site of East, West, and Middle Halls. Actually, these dormitories will be re- modeled and connected, which may readilv be seen bv the above picture. The adminis- trative offices, the business office, the facultv membere ' offices, and possibly the bookstore and the post office will be transferred to the new building. This transferral will increase the nimiber of classrooms in William Smith Hall, and reduce the stress placed upon the professors by the larger lecture groups. Additional land has been purchased ad- jacent to Ribler Field, and in the near fiume it Avill be graded and resodded to serve as a practice field for football, or possibly as a regular soccer field. The old parking lot be- low Kibler Field has been regarded for a sup- plement for track meets. It may also be used as a lacrosse field. There is a pressing need for a new field iioirse. The gvmn is too small; therefore, basketball games and some dances must be held in the Chestertown Armory. A modem field house will provide adequate space for interscholastic sports contests, physical train- ing classes, quarters for ' isiting teams, and .Athletic Department Offices. Vith these additions and improvements, ■Washington College will easilv continue to hold its head high among institutions of its kind. IS RDminisTRflTion DR. GILBERT W.

DGfln OF men ' s council In the thirties, Dean William J. S. Jones, Dr. Livingood ' s predecessor, headed a council made up of the leading men students on the campus. They met spasmodically and worked in conjunction with the existing student government. Their prime function was to promote better relations between the male stu- dents and the administration, supplementing the work done by the Student Government. A somewhat similar council, the Dean of Men ' s Council, which was an en- deavor to place more responsibility on the students, was created last fall under the guidance of Dean Charles Clark. Delegates were selected by the various dorms and fraternity houses to represent them. They were: William Kenworthy . . . West Hall; Lawrence Brandenburg . . . Cain Hall; Price Ransone . . . G.I. Hall; Donald Derham . . . Kappa Alpha; John Huntington . . . Lambda Chi Alpha; John Russell . . . Theta Chi. Its function, at its bi-weekly meetings, is to discuss any campus matter which pertains to the general welfare of the student body. The council, which met with a small degree of success, served in a purely advisory capacity as a liai.son be- tween the male student body and the administration. 24 -THE PEGASUS OF 194 Steffens, Benn, Bartlett, Harman: Missing: Hancock. luomen ' s STUoeriT GOveRnmeni The Women ' s Student Government Association ot Vashington College is an organization governing the women residents of the college.

THe coLiece choir The Washington College Choir is organized to offer extra cinricular activity for anyone on campus who enjoys singing, and wishes to learn more about it. A great deal of pleasure and satisfaction can be found in group singing, in addition to what is learned in the way of harmonizing and part singing. A great amount of credit is due Mrs. Opgrande, who is a erv capable leader. Maxine Brown, Joe Thomas. Bill Slimmer, Winter Crouch, and others from the group have offered solo selections at various times. In former ears several trips were made to ncarb lowns, and concerts were sponsored by churches and ci ic organizations. The Choir has entertained at Christman programs and kept up the tradition this year in fine style. During the war, concert tours were made and the proceeds were donated to the Red Cross. The Glee Club is a growing organization. The more members it obtains, the finer se- lections it can undertake. It hopes to grow and broaden its activity with the acquisition of new singers from future classes and con- tinued interest on the part of its old members. In this way. better accomplishments are in store. 30 -THE PEGASUS OF 194 THE COLLeGE 0RCH6STRfl The College Orchestra lecenth assumed a more important part in campus acti ities. During the weekly Assembly progi-ams it en- tertained the student body with many fine selections. Dr. Li ingood, as facidty advisor, has been a great help in the organization and direction of an orchestra which has as its one aim the bringing of the music of the great masters to the student body of Washington College and to the citizens of Chestertown. Ronald Shaw lias been appointed student conductor, and has taken the place of Elmer Thomas ivho was graduated last year. This year several new arrangements were made for the group, so that now, more than e er, the orchestra proxides an excellent op- portuniix for students and faculty members xvho are interested in continuing their study of music. Those who ha e never played in- struments before, but who are anxious to do so may gain nuich piactical experience through association with the group. This year the orchestra will suffer a certain loss since some of its most competent members are preparing to be graduated. As a residt, several positions will l)e open to those stu- dents qualified and willing to fill them. With support from the student bod) ' the orchestia, which has shown so much improvement in the recent past, can develop into a first rate little symphony able to represent its alma mater on concert tours. 31 WASHINGTON COLLEGE- Back row: Doll, Vanderveer, McLernon.

THe ujflSHincTon Creative ability, imagination, a sense of humoi, and experimentation are responsible for tlie success of any little theater group, and the Washington Players have long since been endowed with all of these, along with the aim of presenting good drama for the students of Washington College. During the past few years The Players have succeeded in progres- sively improving the quality of their work, not only in the field of acting, but in the fields of staging, lighting, and directing as well. The recent production of O ' Neill ' s lie and The Long J ' oyage Home presented a well-answered challenge in all of tlrese fields. This has been another experimental year for the Players. From the comedy Arsenic and Old Lace they went on to the deeper, more serious drama The Little Foxes. The staging in both of these plays was far more elaborate than it had ever been in the past. In Arsenic and Old Lace Miss Carman and Miss Proctor managed to prove that murder was funny. 32 -THE PEGASU3 OF 194 Oyster. MacHale, Watt, Cohe Set of Arsenic and Old Lace.

Now, however, it has been reorganized and is enjoying popular support on the campus. Its organization lias as its purpose the coordination of the different branches of the Science Department, and to foster a constructive interest in the ciurent advances in science. Througliout the year it presents to the student body and to the pidjlic programs of interest inchiding lectures, dem- onstrations, and exhibitions. The spring ex- hibition, which is a coordinated effort of the Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Math and Psy- chology departments, is the main function of the year in the Society of Sciences. The spi ing picnic is an event to which all members look toiward. This year, membership was opened to all members of the student body, having been in preceding years closed to Freshmen. This }ear ' s membership exceeded thirty, which is proof of its popidar support. The Society sponsored the Science Award, which is presented at commencement to the membei of the graduating class who has dem- onstrated the highest quality of achievement, leadership, and scholarship. Under the guidance of Bob Orr as presi- dent, Mrs. Nash as faculty advisor, and Mary Lou Davis as Secretary-Treasurer, the Society of Sciences has become one of the most profit- able and enjoyable student organizations. 34 -THE PEGASUS OF 1948 THE fORensic socieiv Continuing its purpose of promoting free, intelligent thought and stimulating interest in national and international affairs, the Paid E. Titsworth Forensic Society was engaged in a busy season of various activities which in- cluded topical discussions with authoritatixe guest speakers, debates, and experimental speech work. The Political Union sponsored informative and enlightening forums on Labor and Man agement, with representatives of both factions on hand to gi e the views of their respectixt groups. Dissertations on the nature and con tent of Communism were presented with |an Valtin, author of Out of the Night, as guest speaker. The activities of the Debate Division were conducted oir both an intra-group and inter- collegiate basis, Loyola was engaged in a contest concerning World Government. Prom- inent members of this department were Henry Hosz, Bob Chamberlain, and Bob Brenizer. The Declamation Division, headed by George Riggs and advised by Mrs. Opgrande, ser ed as a laboratory for experimental speech work, which included dramatic readings, ora- tory, recitations, and dialectics, .Several speech recitals were planned in conjimction with the Speech department. The Forensic Society, under President Paul Pitcher, is especially desirous of furthering harmonious college-town relations by holding all its functions open to the public at large. 35 WASHINGTON COLLEGE- Standing: Shaw, Clark, Fait.

Membership today is not so strict as it might have been in 1847, an obvious proof of this is the presence of many science majors in the organization; and for the most part, music has taken the place of the classics. However, the members of the society have never lost sight of its basic motives, no matter how liberally they have chosen to in- terpret them. Meetings include the giving of book re- views, dramatic readings, discussions of the works of Chaucer. .Shakespeare, and other major writers. An annual writing contest is sponsored in an attempt to stimulate creative writing outside the classroom. Mount Vernon, in spite of its age, is one of the more active organizations on the cam- pus—one which feels that its purpose is being accomplished.

It is open to both men and women who have attained Junior status with an accimiulative index of 2.25 or better. The society was originally called the honor Society, which was formed in 1933. Dr. Livin- good was the first president. It was during that year that the motto, service through scholarship for Washington College was adopted. The main purpose behind the society is the promotion of scholarship and the fostering of a respect for scholastic achie ement among the student body. One of the benefits of tlie society for senior members is the privilege of unlimited ab- sences in their courses without suffering the usual penalties and fines. They may also be excused from their second semester senior fi- nals if their work is of a sufficiently high quality. S.S.O. presents various speakers and lec- turers for the benefit of the students. One of their speakers this year was Mr. John Kieffer, president of St. John ' s College in Annapolis.

The organization propagates fellowship, character, scholarship, service and leadership in campus life, and dedication to democratic principles as prerequisites foi membership. Holdover members from last year include James Rook. Frank Macieleg. Edmund Brav. and Howard Miller, all in the class of 1948. Newly tapped men this year are Paul Pitcher. Clifford Case, Al Crimmins. and Dr. Carrol Nash. The ceremony was highlighted b the induction of Congressman Miller of Easton, Md. The local Circle has administrative control of the Student Activity Fund distribiuion. Another function is the awarding of the Ex- tra-curricular Activities Key to outstanding students. It also plans and sponsors various activities; the Christmas dance was one such function. The society originated at Washington and Lee University in December, 1914. The local .Alpha Psi Circle had as its predecessor the Siher Pentagon Society. Its outstanding aims are the promotion of leadership qualities, and the recognition of active campus men. 39 WASHINGTON COLLEGE- THETR CHI Theta Chi Fraternity was founded at Nor- wich University on April 10, 1856 by Fred- erick Norton Freeman and Arthur Chase. Since then Theta Chi has spread its chapters, its membership, and its influence from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from border to border. The chapter as it now exists, had its orig- inal beginning in 1928 when as a local frat- ernity was known as Phi Sigma Phi. Later this chapter became associated with Theta Kappa Nu and was known as Maryland Alpha Chapter. Beta Eta Chapter was installed on the hill by Theta Chi on March 2, 1940. We lecognize that the fraternity, ever an independent institution, is a valuable part of higher education, cooperating at all times with the college; to make the chapter house serve as a campus home to both undergrad- uate and aliunni inembers, to serve as a social- izing agency, to provide experience in making and enforcing regulations for mutual fore- bearance and cooperation while living to- gether, and in preparation for life after graduation, and to provide the opportunity of making life-long friendships, which is one of the most valuable contributions of college life. Beta Eta takes an active interest in worth- while college activities by encouraging and assisting members to participate in those for which they are best fitted. This is evidenced by the fact that Beta Eta ' s members are active with: THE ELM, THE PEGASUS, THE HANDBOOK: soccer, football, basketball, wrestling, baseball, track, lacrosse, all phases of intramural athletics; the Varsity Club, the Mount Vernon Literary Society, the Society of Sciences, and Omicron Delta Kappa. The chapter also points with pride to the numerous social affairs which it sponsors from time to time throughout the year. These events inclvide an annual dance sponsored for the benefit of entire student body, at which the chapter ' s own eight-piece band plays, open houses, picnics, beach parties, banquets, smokers, and the many informal and im- promptu gatherings at the chapter house.

Its fourteen charter members lived by its underlying principles of scholarship, fellowship, and loyalty. In the next eight years it had furnished several offi- cers and leaders in the Student Government Association, the weekly newspaper, THE PEGASUS, the Athletic Association, and the Silver Pentagon Society. Its members were quite active in sports as evidenced by the fact that some were on the Ail-American lacrosse teams, and others were honored by recei ing positions on All-Maryland football, basket- ball, and baseball teams. Phi Sigma Tau became Epsilon-Theta Zeta of Lambda Chi Alpha on May 15, 1937, with thirty-two charter members; Dr. Frederick Livingood and Dr. Charles B. Clark were two of these men. From a group of twenty-two members, Epsilon-Theta has increased its chapter strength to forty-nine members and pledges. This year Epsilon-Theta had six men on the football squad, foiu ' received their letters: there were three men on the soccer scjuad, and two of these won their W . Two men were on the basketball team, and three were wrest- lers. The Intramural basketball team finished second wtih a record of nine wins and three losses. Lambda Chi Alpha is also well represented in the extra-curricular societies and organiza- tions. Several brothers are active leaders of the Washington Players, while others are in the College choir. Some members ' tastes in- clude the Mount Vernon Literary Society, the publications of THE ELM and THE PEGASUS, and the Society of Sciences. Sigma Sigma Omicron and Omicron Delta Rappa claim other Lambda Chis for their outstanding achievements in scholarship and extra-ciuriculai acti ities. At present, Epsilon-Theta is making plans for purchasing a chapter house off campus in the not too distant futiue. Officers President John C. Huntington Vice-President Kenneth E.

The original chapter of the order was established at Washington and Lee Col- lege and was based on the character of Robert E. Lee, who, although never a member of the fraternity, strongly supported it and is con- sidered the spiritual foimder of the order. During the war years, all members of Beta Omega served in the armed forces, and in June, 1943, it became inactive, but was re- activated in October, 1945. Beta Omega, under the capable leadership of Frank Macielag No. 1, Bob Brown, No. 2, and Paid Pitcher, No. 3, is proud of its success and accomplishments. Brother Preston Heck of Chestertown, one of the first men initiated into Beta Omega, brought a great amount of prestige to this chapter when he was elected Wood Pro ince Commander in the early part of this year. Ten members of Kappa Alpha at Washington College saw action in the homecoming football game at the beginning of the season in a thrill-packed grid iron spec- tacle. The game was followed by a ' ery enjoyable dance later in the evening. Beta Omega extends its congratulations to Brother Paul Pitcher on his recent initiation into Omicron Delta Kappa. Also Brothers Macielag, Pitcher, and McGran, whose names appeared in Who ' s Who in American Col- leges and Universities are to be commended. The annual Interfraternity dance turned out to be a highlight in the year ' s social func- tions, and each fraternity on the Hill worked hard to realize their goal. Beta Omega also held a New Year ' s E e dance in Baltimore, and plans are being made to continue this as an annual affair. Beta Omega has accomplished much this year, and in the years to follow it will reach a greater point of achievement based on the solid foundation laid by the graduates and the acti e members of todav.

THE inTeR-FRflT6RniTV counciL The Interfrateinity Council of Washington College, composed ol representatives ot the three fraternities on the Hill, has as its object the insurance ot a greater prosperity and happiness in the individual chapters, through the iioning out of inter-fraternity pioblems and the maintenance of a spirit ot cooperation with the administration. This year ' s officers, elected in accordance with the newly-adopted policy ot rotation of offices among the fraternities are: Alfred W. Crimmins, Lambda Chi Alpha. President: John S. Weaver, Kappa Alpha. 1 ' ice-Pres.; Clifford S. Case, Theta Chi, Secretary. Dr. J. Carrol Nash, Head of the Biology department, has actively participated, both as advisor and as a fraternty man himself. Dr. Gilbert W. Mead, president of the col- lege added to the prestige of the college by being elected President of the National Inter- frateinity Council, at the meeting in New Yf)rk this year. Other fraternity men who represented the College at the meeting were: James Wright, Paul Pitcher, and Al Crim- mins. The choosing of a Homecoming Queen from the student body was sponsored by the Council. The Queen and her court repre- sented the choice of the students which was expressed by means of a popularity poll. On the social side of the picture, the Coun- cil once again sponsored its annual Interfra- ternity dance, the biggest dance of the year. It was thoroughly enjoyed by each individual trateinitv and the fraternal group as a whole. 46 -THE PEGASUS OF 194 McReynolds. Sinclair. Brooks, Er Oyster. Missing: Moran. THe pfln-HeiLenic council The Panhellenic Council has constantly striven for a better understanding among the sorority chapters, and has worked coopera- tively in behalf of the college and the sorority groups in order to create a nrore progressi e spirit on the hill. An outgrowth of this effort has been a recognition of the Panhellenic Council as a necessary organization formula- tion of a constructive sorority attitude which is essential to the Washington College spiiit. Formal rushing is opened by the traditional Panhellenic Tea when the freshmen become acquainted with the sorority girls and with the three sororities. The Council governs the rushing of the freshmen. The annual Panhellenic dance was a high- light of the spring season. A benefit was also sponsored by the Panhellenic Council and the Inter-Fraternity Council of Vashington Col- lege. Fach sorority is representetl at the Coiuicil meeting by its president and one elected mem- lier. The Council was founded in the fall of 1938 after the last of the three sororities be- came affiliated with a national group. Officers of the Council are: Jane Brooks, president: Nancy Moran, vice-president; Mary |ane Ervin. secretary; Becky McReynolds, Doris .Sinclair, and Jane Oyster constitute the oilier members. ' 7 WASHINGTON COLLEGE- ZeiR TflU flLPHfl Zeta Tau Alpha haternity was founded at Virginia State Normal College, Fainiville, Virginia, on October 15, 1898. All the herit- age that was Ole Virginny ' s was bestowed upon Zeta by her nine Southern founders. A pioneer in the South, Zeta was not only the first women ' s fraternity to be chartered in the state of Virginia, but she was the first one to be chartered by a special act of the state legislature. After a rapid expansion throughout Dixie, Zeta was establislied in northern colleges and universities until today she lists eighty chapters in the United States and Canada on her chapter roll. The objects of the fraternity are the in- tensifying of friendship; the fostering of the spirit of love: the creation of such sentiments, the performance of such deeds, and the moulding of such opinions as will be con- ducive to the building-up of a nobler and purer womanhood. In 1928 the Zeta Tau Alpha Health Center was foimded in Currin Valley, Smyth County, Virginia, as a memorial to the fraternity ' s founders. Here Zeta maintains a center where the poorer mountain people may receive ex- pert medical aid, and the care and attention of a resident nurse. Zetas the world over may send food, clothing, and financial assistance for them. The Center now works in coopera- tion with various government agencies.

The sponsors of the chapter are Virginia Eliason, financial advisor, and Mildred Elia- son, aulmnae advisor. Last summer at the National Convention in Roanoke, Virginia, the Sigma Tan Chapter tied with two other chapters for the McCaus- land Scholarship Cup. This cup is awarded biennially at the convention to the active chapter which has the highest scholarship rat- ing in the fraternity for the previous two years. At tlie same time Mildred Eliason, the alumnae advisor, was awarded the recognition pin for her original composition, The Sweetheart of AOPi. On the campus they have succeeded in winning the scholarship cup for the highest indices among the sororities. It has been the chapter ' s aim this year to obtain the J.W.H. cup which is awarded to the chapter that has been of the largest serv- ice to its college and community during the preceding two years. In the beginning of this year, their first step toward the national philanthropic work was to raffle oflf a cake. The proceeds for this want to the Frontier Nursing Service in Ken- tucky which is supported by the various chap- ters of Alpha Omicron Pi. Just before Christ- mas a clothing drive was sponsored for the same cause. As a result the Sigma Tau Chap- ter sent six boxes to Kentucky plus a basket of food to a needy family in Chestertown. They are in the process of knitting an afaghan which will go to the Frontier Nursing Service, In the latter part of February the group was fortunate to have as its guest, Miss Mar- garet Marshall, who is the national traveling secretary for Alpha Omicron Pi. She brought news with her of other chapters all over the country, and gave suggestions as to methods of improving the local chapter.

It has attempted to bring to the social and educa- tional life of college women a spirit of true sisterhood, developing through personal effort a high moral anil mental standard, and ad- vancing the appreciation of the allied arts among its members. The local chapter. Kappa Gamma, was the first sorority to gain recognition on the cam- pus. In 1937, more than ten years after its foimding. Kappa Gamma petitioned for and received membership in Alpha Chi Omega, becoming Beta Pi chapter. It was the only chapter in Maryland, the sixty-third in the National organization, and the first chapter on the Hill to become National. The fraternity does philanthropic work on both a local and a national scale— nationally, support of Star-Studio at MacDowell Col- ony, a retreat for writers, musicians, and painters at Peterborough, New Hampshire,— locally, a yearly donation to the Children ' s Aid Societv.

Under the guidance of several interested students, and with the assistance of the Administration, twel c men established their new group on the campus luider the name of Alpha Omega Nu. Inspired by the idea of an organization whose constitution would read non-sectarian, the founding group after holding its first meet- ing, applied to the Administration through Dr. Mead for support and advice in strength- ening the organization. Upon receiving the encouraging lettei- from Dr. Mead the group then went on to elect officers and haAe a suitable constitution drawn up; then after tra eling established lines, with valuable aid offered by both individuals and organizations on campus, Alpha Omega Nu was accepted as a club on the Washington College campus by O.D.K., and subsequently was recognized by the Administration as a local Greek letter fraternity. By the beginning of the second semester the new organization was meeting regularly, and although its members have their eyes on the future, their maiir desire at present is to further and strengthen the position of their newborn organization until it can hold its head high with its three predecessors as a recognized national organization. 54 SPORTS BR5eBfiLL-1947 SEflSOn iVashin :gt.. in 5 15 10 3 12-f) Baseball Schedule Vestern Maryland. . 8 Delaware Randolph-Macon ... 9 Western Maryland.. 8 Hopkins 2 I.() ola 4 Bainbridge Catholic U (i Salisbury Cardinals. . 4 J.V. 3 Wesley Jr. College Baltimore U 4 Mt.

John Malone The 1947 baseball team, coached by the willing and able Tom Kibler, was certainly one of the strongest college teams ever de- veloped here on the campus of W.C. Around the middle of March when the first outdoor practice was called. Coach Kibler knew he had some fine new prospects, along with his estab- lished veterans, with which to build a well- rounded college nine. With the first game only a few days away, the baseball candidates had been tried and tested. Coach Kibler ' s starting line-up ran something like this: Pep Samele and Howard Tilley were to share the catching duties, Bill Mulline- aux at first base, Sut Tattersall at sec- ond, Fred Schroeter at shortstop, Pat Corrigan at third, Ed Athey and Stoney McLaughlin alternating in left field, Danny Hall was to b; in center field, and Turner Hastings in right field. The pitching staff consisted of: Big Bill Gray, powerfully built right bander with a fast fast ball: Lambert Coakley, a ' ariety man with ac- cent on speed and curve: Dick Lynch, a knuckle-bailer and curver; Bob Grove, a good ciu e man: and Lefty Gibby Meekins, with his sweep- ing curve. The initial game with Western Maryland wasn ' t exactly a cheerful affair. We suffered a 8-5 defeat. Coach Kibler took this oppor- tunity to test all members of the pitching staff. A gift triple to the Terrors in a late inning enabled them to win, although rather spotty pitching and that old inability to hit with ducks on the pond were contributing factors to our defeat. W. C. ' s hopes for the conference title had not ebbed, however, and the next week-end saw W. C. journey on an overnight trip first to Randolph-Macon and then to Western Maryland. The vengeful bats of oiu sluggers rained hits all over the respective diamonds and when the stormy week-end was over, W. C. had two important victories: 15-9 over Ran- dolph-Macon, and 10-8 over Western Maiy- land. In the two games our sluggers gathered in 27 hits and made them count for a grand total of 25 runs! The only sad part about the trip was that Coke was forced out of the Randolph-Macon game with a lame arm, and the most strenuous schedide in years was ahead. The cut-off on the pitching strength made the future look uninviting. The masterful pitching of Big Bill Gray and the outstanding defensive play of Fred Schroeter marked the fourth game with Johns Hopkins which W. C. won 3-2. The Jay ' s runs were unearned, and with the count tied at two all, Mullineaux tripled. Tattersall with a long high fly to deep center, sent the margin of victory home. 56 As the season wore on, the piithint; viih tlie return of Coakley into the startins; Ihic-ni), became noticeably stronger; the deicnse was strong except tor third base where most ot our defeats were born; and the slugging prow- ess of the team was proving to be -(vonder- fidly consistent. fn the slugging department, the most con sistent hitter was the lead-oft man and cajnain. Turner Hastings, who batted close to a ., ) ' )() clip all year. Turner also hit the first W, C, home-run of the season against Western Marx- land. His biggest field day was 5 lor , ) against Bainbridge Naval Base. Coach Kibler ' s annual attempts to pit his college nines against the pro ' s of the East- ern Shore League were unsuccessful this year. In the same week C. lost to the .Salisburv Cardinals 4-3 as thev lell ictini to tlie old squeeze-play, and to the Easton Yanks 10-2 as the residt of errors galore. The un- accustomed glare of the lights was an im- portant factor in these two defeats. An old fashioned mmclerer ' s row exhi- bition was witnessed at Kibler Field on Ma 9th at the expense of Baltimore University. In the home half of the first inning. Tinner Hastings, leading oft, walked on lour pitches. Pep Samele, instead of bunting for a sacri- (ice play, imloaded a powerfid line dri ' e to left— a home run. Fred Schroeter promptly stepped to the ]jlate and belted another Baltimore l ' ni crsit pit(h into the next iDunix — anotliei iiomeiun. Mullineaux then crackctl a double lollowed by a single h Tattersall, and before the rally was snuffed out, V. C. had b big runs. This was only a mild samjile ol the t pe irealment which oiu ' poweilid baseball nine ol ' 47 administered not infrequently. .Although W. C. had swept both ends of a double-header from her leading ojjponent lor conference honois, Lovola, the Mason- Dixon Championship was lost to them in our last game at the University of Delaware, The IMue Hens caught us on a muddy field and (Ideated us in a shaky manner 3-1. Only one o( t)elaware ' s liits was of the line drive ariety, the others being texas-leagurers Avhich dropped safely behind first base, l e- sjiite this all-important defeat, the ' 47 ball- players know that the real championship team wasn ' t crowned.

C. protessional, foimd competition quite stiff throughout but came through with a showing that was admirable in light of the fact that it was the first venture into the col- legiate competitive ranks, facing such teams as Loyola, Western Maryland, and Delaware U. As expected the Sho ' neophytes went down to defeat before these more experienced Sihes, but salvaged a passable season by dump- ing Johns Hopkins and Baltimore U. At the completion of the scheduled matches the Shore linkmen participated in the Mason- Dixon Conference Tournament held at the Western Maryland Coflege course. Here they managed to place among the first ten in the final standings, and placed one man in the third position in indi idual medal play. All in all the season can be considered to have been a fairly successful one, and a pat on the back is in order for all who partic- ipated. Coach Elmer Lowe also comes in for a share of the congratulations for assembling and getting the team off to a good start. The following men earned their honor award in Golf: No. I— Jack Feeley 2— Russ Jacobson 3— Jim Jones 4— Walt Jones 5— Bert Bystronr 6— Bob Meeker Alternate— Ernie Cookerly 60 Tennis-1947 senson I,a l rai the fiisl W ' ashiiiutmi College (en- nis leain since I94S made its appearance on the courts. Hampered by a late Spring, in- experience, and too little practice, the tennis team finished a very unsuccessful season as far as ivins were concerned. Howexer. many of the losses suflered vere decided h small margins. Each match showed impro ement in the players, and this year sliould pro e to be a ery successfid tennis year for the team and college. Many of the men who guided the other college tennis teams to victory last year have graduated. With new material from the Freshmen Class and last year ' s experienced men.

The number of injuries to key ]5layers this year was disastrously high. To- ward the close of the season Coach Ekaitis was able to field onlv a minimiuu niuiiber of men. The 1947 Washington College grid ma- chine was built around veteran performers Steele, Romanition, Mackrell, Ray SiUton, McLaughlin. Macielag, Williams, and Ma- lone. Reserves of the 1946 sc|uad. who saw plenty of action this season were Jack Bmk. Jack Robins, Bob Robbins, Shetterly, Riggs. Parker, Crimmins. Bryan, Mitchell. Hogg, Kemp, McGran, and Bob Williams, helped to mold the team into a scrappv if not win- ning outfit. The Shore gridders ushered in their season witlr a night game against a classy Johns Hop- kins eleven. Hopkins displayed a smooth, deceptive offense that kept Washington on the defense througliout most of the game. One of the line stalwarts, Steele, was bothered in this game with a knee injury which con- tinued to plague the huge tackle the re- mainder of the season. El Lewis, end, and Bill Bryan, back both newcomers to college football, played consistently good ball in this contest. Late in the fourth cjuarter, Vashing- ton made a scoring threat, but was imable to cross the pay stripe. Final score— 27-0. XVashington then met Western Maryland on Ribler Field, and were all but crushed in the stinging 41-0 defeat. Western Maryland, with its huge line and hard-running backs had little trouble with the Sho ' men. Fine defensive play by Jack Bmk and Mickey Hub- bard ' s good running cheered the crowd some- what on an otherwise gloomy afternoon. A passing attack by Ray Jones threatened the ' estern Maryland goal in the last quarter, but once again a ' . C. last minute dri e faltered. .Against Mt. St. Mary ' s, the Shoremen showed their first scoring power. Ray Sutton and Bill Bryan tallied the goals and Macielag ki ked the conversions making the score 14-0. I he touchdowns were set up largely through the alertness of halfback Bryan, who re- (dveied two important Moimt fumbles. Homecoming Day saw the Yellowjackets of Randolph-Macon meeting the Maroon and Black on Kibler Field. For the first half, the ball game was a close one, Randolph Macon leading 6-0. Earlv in the second half, a Wash- ington punt was blocked and that proved to be the turning point of the game. From then on, the Jackets ran lampant, gathering up a 29-0 score. McLaughlii Macielag Jones Bryan 63 Hampden-Sydney ' s football team next visited Washington College. The Tigers had not been too successful this season, but the were boasting the services of Lynn Chewning, ex-Naval Academy star, who was Navy ' s only bright spot in the ' 46 Notre Dame game. The Tiger back was deserving of the praise gi en him for lie accounted for both Hampden- Sydney touchdowns that defeated, Washington 14-12. The Shoremen were almost safely cloaked in victory in the final seconds of the hard-fought game when the speedy Chewning scampered around right end for the winning touchdown— a tough one to lose. The following week found the Chestertown gridders traveling to Washington, D. C. to meet Catholic University. Although this was Catholic U ' s first season of football since be- fore the war, the Cardinals boasted a plenti- ful amoimt of taleni. On a throughh rain- soaked field, the Catholic U. gridders out- played the Shoremen 16-0. ' ashington College closed its 1947 foot- ball season with a heartening win over Rider College at Kibler Field, l ay Sutton and Bill Br an, behind a spirited line, tore into the opposing line for sizeable gains time and again. A jiass b) Ray Jones connected with Lewis for a touchdown. The extra points were made by Macielag and Bryan. Fresh- man Bill Mitchell played a fine game backing up the line. Walter Romanition, regular end, had little chance to display his capabilities this season, being out of ])lay for three separate injuries. Bob Brown, another end, spent most of the year sidelined with a fractined wrist. Alex Mackrell also finished the season with a fractured wrist. 64 SOCCER Back row: Baumsckech, R Hungcrford, Nesbitt.

In 1946, Washington College ' s soccer team came within one goal of capturing the Mason- Dixon Conference championship when the) dropped the final game of the season to Johns Hopkins University. 3-2. This year, however, the Marotm and Black hooters could not be satisfied with a riuinei- up position in the conference race. To achieve their ultimate goal of attaining the Mason-Dixon championship, the .Shoremen proceeded to outfight and outsiore each of their eight opponents. Prior to the opening of the season, Henry Carrington. last year ' s soccer mentor, an- nounced his resignation from the school and the soccerities were left without a coach. As an emergency measure, the Washington Col- lege . thletic Council appointed senior Tur- ner Hastings, last year ' s captain, as player- coach. .-Although their coach was a student 65 himsell, the booteis coDperated as well with him, and played as hard for him as they would ha ' e for any graduate mentor. Ample proof of that is found in the soccer teams undefeated and untied record. The soccer team lost only two of its reg- ulars from the 1946 squad. For the opening game with Western Maryland, Coach Has- tings had Jim Starkey and Price Ransome at the wings, Vince Bathetta and Has-tings posted the inside positions. Bill MacHale at center forward, John I erringer, Dick Tatter- sall and Buddy Brower at the halfback posi- tions, Cokes Coakley and Howard Tilley as fullbacks, and Jack Shoemaker as goalie. Coakley was designated as the team captain. The Big Red Rooters opened the season, by defeating Western Maryland on Kibler Field by the score of 2-1. The two teams were a bit shaky and luisettled, but nevertheless, their aggres siveness provided many thrills for the spectators. Washington scores were made by Tattersall and MacHale in the second and thiid quarters after many close misses in the- initial frame. Halfback Grove was lost for . the season when he badly twisted his ankle, in the second quarter. .- t Newark, Delaware, the Maroon and Black soccerites defeated a slow University , of Delaware team 2-0. Fine passing and drib- bling by MacHale, .Staikey Bachetta, Has- tings, and Ransome kept the play mainly in Delaware territory. Bachetta and Hastings made the scores for W. G. Traveling to Baltimore for their game with the University of Baltimore, the Washington booters defeated their opponents 5-0 for their third win of the year. The game was a one- sided affair with most of the action taking place in Baltimore territory and saw the Shoremen win on two goals from the field and three penalty kicks which were made good. Mullineau x and Greenley shared the goalie duties in the absence of Shoemaker, first string goalie. MacHale kicked three points, Ransome one, and Starkey one for Washington ' s score. Deringer suffered a frac- tined wrist in this contest. Washington next met Johns Hopkins in Chestei town and found itself on the long end of a 4-2 score. The defeat was the first for the smart Hopkins squad. The game was a hotly contested one and featured some very fine ball-handling and clever plays. Scoring was done by MacHale (2), Starkey, and Has- tings. The Shoremen held their top opposition in the Mason-Dixon Conference race by beat- ing a strong Loyola eleven 3-2. The game, played on a mudd field and in cold weather, saw Loyola keeping the pla) in Washington territory during the first half. In the second half, however, the Maroon and Black defense tightened and the offense clicked for two goals clinching the contest. Starkey, Bac- chetta, and Hastings made the scores for ' ashington College. The Towson State Teachers College was met in Baltimore and once again the op- ponents fell before the onslaught of the Big Red Booters. In this game, Starkey, Bacchetta and MacHale (2) provided the scores giving Washington its sixth consecutive win. The Towson offense crumbled in the second half and the Maroon and Black scjuad kept the ball deep in Towson territory throughout that half. AVashington next met a strong Gettysburg stjuad, which was ranked fifth in the nation ' s soccei ' ratings before bowing to the Chester- town soccerites, 3-1. Gettysburg, which was able to substitute at will, matched all the fine ball-handling and passing that W. C. dis- played dining the first cjuarter which found both teams threatening on close plays. In the second quarter, Ransome, who dropped in the corner kicks with unerring acciuacy all season, booted two that dropped in front of the goal where Hastings and MacHale had only to push them through for scores. Mac- Hale. in the second half headed in a corner kick by Starkey for Washington ' s third and last score. After Gettysburg scored once, Mul- lineaux serving in the nets, made a sensa- tional stop of a penalty kick to prevent Gettysbing from narrowing the margin. 66 The Washington College socceiites put the finishing touches on a colorful and undeteated season as they hiuiibled the Baltimore Univer- sity eleven for the second time of the ear. The game was a close affair until the second cjuarter when the home team came to life and its passing diibbling took effect. MacHale (2), Tattersall and Coleman were the scorers responsible for the 4-1 victory. The VV ' ' . C. Jayvees added to the varsity ' s enviable record when they troimced the Wes- ley Junior College hooters 3-1. Goals were chalked up by Jack Coleman (2) and Don Derham. The University of Maryland, after complet- ing a season of 6 wins and 1 tie, announced the claim to the nnthical national soccer (hamponship. Immediately upon hearing that, the Washington College Athletic Coun- cil issued a formal challenge to the University of Maryland who chose to ignore it. Turner Hastings, the stalwart player-coach of the soccer squad, had a high honor bes- towed upon him by being selected to repre- sent the North Carolina-Maryland-Virginia ' secton in the U. S. Olympic Soccer Team 11 VOLItS. Lambert Cokes Coakley was elected to captain the 1948 Washington College soccer team at the completion of the season. 67 BPSKETBflLL The Washington College basketball team under the capable hands of Frank Apichella began taking shape early in November. Coach Apichella, in his first year as court mentor for W. C, didn ' t have a bright outlook for the forthcoming cage season. The team sorely felt the absence of Captain Ed Athey, Jerry Voith, Wii Barnes, and Frank Pe|) Samele. However, lettermen Bill Mul- lineaux, Valt Romanition, Sut Tattersall, and Jim Rook returned to comprise a capable nucleus for the 1947- ' 48 basketball team. In addition to those men. El Lewis, Jack Burk, Bill Warther, Lee Cook, and Howie Nesbitt, all veterans of last season were candidates for this vear ' s club. Mel Morgan, Howard Til- ley, Sonny Larimore, and Bill Kemp were newcomers to the Maroon and Black varsity. For the first game of the season with Gallaudet, the starting five was composed of Bill Mvdlineaux at center. El Lewis and Sut Tattersall at forwards, Jim Rook and Lee Washineton. 46 39 52 46 57 Gallaudet 35 Delaware 60 Towson Teachers . . 54 Catholic U 68 Mt.

Bill Kemp and Lee Cook were high scorers registering twelve and ten points re- spectively. Final score of the contest was 46-35. Tlie Washington five next met the Uni er- sitv ol Delaware quintet at Newark, Del., where Delaware, after a fast start, trimmed the Shoremen 60-39. For the first five minutes, Delaware did all the scoring until Warther broke the ice sinking two foul shots. From there on, the game was an evenly matched one. Towson teachers defeated the Maroon and Black Cagers in Baltimore in a liard-fought thriller 54-52. Washington enjoyed a com- fortable lead at half-time 30-23. Tattersall and his shots from all angles kept the Chester- town team in the lead until the waning mo- ments of the game when Towson overcame a three point deficit in a sudden scoring burst to win the game. The contest ended with Howie Nesbitt throwing one from the three qiiai ter court mark in a desperate attempt to force tiie game into extra periods but the shot fell short and likewise did the expecta- tions of a club that had figured to win. Vashington lost its third straight game in four outings when Catholic U. trimmed the Sho ' quint 68-46. Once again the W. C. squad let the opposing team move out into a sub- stantial lead. At half-time, the Capital Cagers led 34-18, and retained that comfortable mar- gin until the final whistle. In a high-scoring game at Frederick, Mary- land, the Moimt St. Mary ' s hoopsters out- pointed the local team 83-57. The Washing- tonians appeared hapless due to their in- abilitv to throw up a suitalile defense or make 69 ■■■ t t y 1 1 Coach Appichella their shots count. The start of the second half saw the Mountaineers maintaining a 37-17 lead and throughout the period refused to let it lapse. From half-time on, the fracas took on the aspect of a good ball game, with the Sho ' men fighting desperately to overcome the initial disadvantage. Pete Clark, fast Mount forward, was high scorer with twenty- four points and Jim Rook was high for W. C, gathering sixteen points. I.ee Cook followed with thirteen. During the period between semesters the services of El Lewis, Jim Rook, Lee Cook, and Bill Kemp were lost for the remainder of the season, and Benedict. Atwell, Guandola, and Stuart were moved up to the varsity to replace them. Due to the lack of ball-players, the Jiuiior Varsity schedide was cancelled. Loyola College ' s famed Greyhounds moved into Chestertown in high spirits looking for- waid to an easy victory over the weakened Maroon and Black squad. They won hand- ily, 71-49, biu not until they fought their way through every minute of the game. Bill Mul- lineaux, Mel Morgan, and Jack Burk kept Washington in the game with their fine shoot- ing and good defensive play. The Yellow-Jackets of Randolph-Macon weie the next opponents to visit Washington College. The Jackets displayed a fine floor game, but the greater height of the Shoremen prevented them from scoring plentifully. However a lid seemed to be on the basket for the AVashington Cagers and they were unable to outscore their opponents. The final score ended up with Randolph-Macon ahead 40-35. Morgan led the scoring vith 15 points. Burk and Mullineaux again displayed fine defensive pla . 70 71 ujResTLinc Standing: Coach Ekaiti: Strohsacker, Shuman, Mendenhall, France, Da Hungerford, Hollis, Case, Bowie, Lynam. (Manager). Seated: The Washington College wrestling team looked forward to its second year of Mason- Dixon competition with high spirits, al- though its ranks had been thinned by the loss of Rav Sutton, Harry Walsh, and Bob Malone, and others. The team had capable competitors in second year men— John Hini- gerford, Gil Lynam, John .Sutton, and Buz France. Freshmen standouts were Duke Case and Abe Mendenhall. The season was started in fine fashion by a win over the Wilmington Y.M.C.A. matmen, 17-13. Hungerford, Case France, Mendenhall and Lvnam were winners in this match. The W. C. grapplers next defeated Cath- olic U. 23-8, but in this contest. Bill Mitchell, 16,5 lb. wrestler, was fatally injined. Near the end of January, the Athletic Council voted to drop wrestling from the sports curricula of Washington College due to the lack of a sufficient number of experi- enced men. .ScHEnui.E Wa.sliington . . 17 Vilmington Y.M.C.A... 13 . . 23 Catholic U 8 72 THe VRRSITV CLUB Staudins: Grovt.

EDDie BRflV ' s Dflnce Bflno During the past year and a half this group has developed into a top-notch musical organi- zation, one of the best to represent Washing- ton College. Under the capable leadership of Edmund H. Bray, Jr. a group of students, interested in dance music, were brought to- gether to be molded into the well-balanced organization which is so popular for dances on the campus and throughout the Eastern Shore and Delaware. It is unusual to find such a group functioning on a campus of this size, but stranger still is the fact that they are all members of the same fraternity, Theta Chi. Studded with such musicians as Bray, Meek- ins, and Barnes, and vocals by Jack Shoe- maker, there are great hopes that the band may continue as a much-needed addition to campus life. !ack The Quartet 102 THOSE UCRG THf DflVS A few of ihe guys went to summer school at Western Maryland, for some reason they aren ' t returning this year . . . they took a day off and went to Gettysburg . . . we had some swell times at Ocean City, didn ' t we? . , . there ' s Doc Heavy sipping a mild brew at Bennett ' s . . . the gay caballeros at a local gas joint with the proprietor . . .
