Our time at Western passes quickly, and as the future becomes the past and our youth becomes glorified in the pattern of age, and we find enjoyment not in the future, but in recalling old memories of things that happened in nineteen forty-six, then is when this volume will become a treasure. Is has been impossible to record all the activities that have made this a memorable year, but we hope as you glance through its pages you will find things that will freshen and perpetuate cherished memories of this year. Throughout the book we have tried to capture the spirit of Western that makes it known for its friendliness by typical scenes and familiar activities. Only we who have attended Western know and understand its spirit because it is made up of day by day experiences and acquaintances. If the pages of this Brown and Gold carry life long mem- ories, become not only a memento of the past but an inspiration for the present, then the staff will feel it has accomplished its task entrusted to it. J lanclie JJraper TuUlcihj Jjeoicalion To Miss Blanche Draper, in sincere appreciation for her cooperation and warm understanding to Western and to the Brown and Gold, we respectfully dedicate the 1946 Brown and Gold. She has been co-publicity director of Western Michigan College for the past twenty-seven years. She is a veteran in Se fiefd of iournalism. and is a favorite with both the faculty and students.

This volume represents not only a great deal of painstaking effort and devotion to duty but a fine record of an historical period in the life of Western Michigan College. This has been a great year. Over a thousand of our service men have returned to pursue their educational programs at Western. The total enroll- ment of the college exceeds that of any time in its previous history. New problems of housing and instruction have arisen, new conditions of educational interest have appeared, and new difficulties in the maintenance of the college traditions have confronted us. Students and faculty alike have met all of these challenges with vigor and determination. The Brown and Gold staff through this volume has added its bit to the record of achievement. Congratulations again and good wishes for al! of those who have been associated with the enterprise. 19 yjjesii ester n s Dr. Wynand Wichers came to Western last year from Hope College to become our first vice-president. In the short time he has been on campus. Dr. Wichers has shown active interest in the students and campus activities, and Western has right to be proud of its new vice-president. Dr. Lofton V. Burge, director of the Place- ment Bureau and Principal of the Campus Training School, is of great assistance to future teachers. Dr. Burge not only gives needed advice to students during their semester of practice teaching, but assists them in securing positions in the teaching field. Mr. Leonard Gernant, assistant registrar, aids the Dean of Administration in the many problems that arise in connection with registration and enrollment. In addition, Mr. Gernant supervises the records office where grades and scholastic ratings are recorded along with other data concerning the students. 20 Ofrl (JtriLnLs b ' cdi ton Mr. John C. Hoekje, Dean of Administration, has had his duties doubled in these post- war days with the increasing enrollment. Mr. Hoekje ' s interest lies with the students, and he is well-known for his friendly spirit, encouraging advice, and his willing- ness to hear the student ' s suggestions and plans. Dr. George H. Hilliard, Director of Student Personnel and Guidance, has, with his counseling staff, maintained the successful system for acquainting the students with what is expected of them at Western. Even with enrollment at its peak, the students are guided in their course of study with individual concern. Dr. Elmjr ;-:. Wilds, Director of the Gradu- ciD Div.si:;n end Summ3r Sessions, assists graduate sluden ' .s, end directs the entire cdmin s.rative work during the summer C ' ?s£ion. In addition tD gradual3 work. Dr. Wilds has been chairman of the assembly committee end has been acliv? in providing cntertainmeit for ths students. 21 :2), earn Mrs. Bertha S. Davis, Dean of Women, is a friend to all Western ' s co-eds. She has a sympathetic ear to all, and she gives guidance to those asking for such advice. Mrs. Davis has given her time and ut- most attention to the social activities on campus as virell as the co-ed ' s problems. Mr. Ray C. Pellett, Dean of Men, has again this year been faced with many problems. With a large in- crease of male students on campus, Dean Pellett has been very busy in finding places for them to live, along with their many other problems. His friendly spirit and sense of humor has made him a friend to all the students. 22 [:JacLdL y Western students have right to be proud of their faculty. Although their schedules have been upset during the war, and the teaching was strained, they have all proved their loyalty to Western. Each year we lose some important members as we did this year, but they are not easily forgotten. We owe to the faculty the spirit they give to us, and for upholding Western in its traditions and friendliness. AGNES ANDERSON Business Education RACHEL E. AGREE Home Economics HUGH M.

FORD Mathematics C rabiLnq SckooL ana State jtiqk yiLYiCj Kji The Campus Training School was the first of Western ' s laboratories to be set up by the college. In the beginning when the Normal was founded, the training school was housed in the Y. M. C. A. and the Methodist church house. The following year it was transferred to the Vine Street School and in the fall was moved to the Training School Building. The enrollment and number of classes has gradually increased from the original three until the present eight grades were established. The purpose of the training school is to give prospective teachers an opportunity to observe and come in contact with problems they will likely meet when they get out into the teaching field. Each grade is supervised by a teacher whose qualifications would allow her to supervise teachers in three or more grades. Practice teachers are under the direct control of the supervisor who is held responsible for the work of these student teachers. The students get excellent training and are encouraged to do things for themselves. Special classroom activities are provided in such a way as to give ample preparation for students as well as the prospective teacher. 30 State High came into existence in 1911 in order to supply facilities for training secondary teachers when the eighth grade students were allowed to continue their studies under the direction of Miss Lavina Spindler. In 1912 these students together with the more recent eighth grade graduates were moved into the Administration Building which has since become the well known State High. It was not until 1915 that the school was organized as a school unit. Mr. Harold Blair, now of the mathematics department of the college, was the first principal. State High not only has a good academic program, but its students participate in many activities about the school. They have their own newspaper, monitor system, student council, plays and clubs which are initiated and carried out by all the students with faculty supervision. As a result of the close cooperation between the high school and our college faculty it is possible for the college students to have methods courses taught by the State High supervisors. Being located right on campus, it is an ideal situation for the prospective secondary teacher. i. M. HArHAWAY English PADEN HAZEL I. Art A. L.

As Western ' s enrollment increased, it became necessary to give more opportunities to the prospective teacher to observe in a variety of situations. Thus the Paw Paw School system became affiliated with Western as a model for a large village school. The practice teachers are supervised by very capable teach- ers in special departments such as industrial arts, music, home economics and many others. 32 MAXINE M. COOK HELEN CRAWFORD CORDELIA J.

WATERS MARY WILLIAMS Kindergarten 1 or lam ( ra ' uwia ScliooL mcje )lL)l(j Many of Western ' s students became interested in rural education and were securing positions in the rural areas. Thus there was a real need for a model school in a small village district. In 1922 a five teacher school at Portage Cen- ter, six miles outside of Kalamazoo, was affiliated with Western to fill this need. The next year Portage School united with two other districts and organized what is now known as Portage Center Consolidated School. This unit includes all the elementary grades and a high school. 33 Jim Burchell and Kay Stimson look toward the future campus. areweLL yjJesL tn As Seniors, we are leaving the Hilltop. We have spent four years here at Western in preparation, and now we are to leave. Many changes took place at Western during these four years. We saw college life change from a normal peace time college to one wher e navy uniforms dominated the campus. 34 s emors This year marked a climax in the college life of the members of the class of ' 46 for they saw ushered into Western once again the atmosphere and activities of normal college life with an increased enrollment of men students. The seniors headed the social calendar by initiating an annual Cabaret Dance in true night club fashion - complete with bartenders, white jacketed waiters, floor show and all. Club 46 was the first dance of its kind since ' 42. It was new to a lot of students, and a good time was had by all. The traditional Junior-Senior dinner dance was revived in collaboration with the Juniors, and it proved to be one of the outstanding events of the Senior program. Other activities in which all graduating seniors participated were: The Senior Tea given by President Sangren, the traditional Senior Swing-out, faculty reception for Seniors, baccalaureate and the Honors Convocations. These highlights along with the friendly, happy spirit which characterizes Western ' s Hilltop will always be cherished memories for the class of ' 46. As we leave Western we know that bigger and better things are planned for the future to make Western even more dear than it is now. Sincere thanks and appreciation are extended by the class to Dr. Floyd Moore and Dr. George Comfort for their helpful advice and work in their cap- acity as class sponsors.

C ke junior Cyiass As the Junior Class looks back on another year, we can easily say that we have had a busy and successful year. In November, the class elected its officers: President, Joe Salamun; Vice-president, Phyllis Ash; Secretary, Mar- garet Farrell; Treasurer, Phyllis Dean; Representatives, Florence Huizenga and Shirley Anne Myers. We had many social activities this year, some of which were traditions that were dropped during the war. We sponsored the J-Hop on March 23rd with Mardi Gras as its theme. Serpentines, balloons and confetti decorated the ballroom, and it was a gala affair. Bob Burgoyne and Lois Austin acted as co-chairmen for the dance. In May we put on the Junior-Senior dinner dance in collaboration with the Senior class. Everyone entered into the fun and work of the open houses. Homecoming, and the Saturday night dances. The Junior class experienced for the first time a peace-time campus, and the year was one which we will not overlook in reminiscing college days. 46 ROSEMARY ALARIA SHIRLEY ANDERSON ESTHER ARINK PHYLLIS ASH LOIS AUSTIN MARY BADGLEY FRANCES BAKER ANNE MARIE EARTH LEONA BAUER NOREEN BELDEN JANE BENNETT MARIBETH BENNETT VIRGINIA BLAIR BETH BOEZWINKLE ELIZABETH BOWEN BARBARA BOWMAN LURLENE BOWYER AUDREY BRAILSFORD WILMA BRENNER PEARL BRISBIN DELORES BROWN ELIZABETH BUCHANAN BEVERLY BUCKHAM BOB BURGOYNE HELENE BURNS MARY CALLAGHAN ANTOINETTE CAMPBELL LEWIS CHADDERDON V Jli (I V. iii 47 jLx iih JANE CLARKE COLLEEN CLONEY LOUIS E CONKLIN PHYLLIS COOK JOAN CROSSLEY HELEN CURTIS DORIS DALE PHYLLIS DenBRABER DONALD DILLEY JANET DOERING CAROL EARLE ELAINE EDDY JOAN EDDY SUE EDSALL HERBERT ELLINGER ALBERT FALONY MARGARET FARRELL LILLIAN FELIX JETTA FINCH JEANNE FRANCISCO MARY GILMARTIN ANN HALL PENNY HAMMOND HELEN HARMON PAT HARPER GERALDINE HATCH BARBARA HAWKINS FLORENCE HUIZENGA 48 NORMA KNICKERBOCKER PATRICfA KINGSCOTT PRICILLA KERR WATTS JOHNSON BARBARA MacMILLAN CAROL LYMBURNER LAURAJANE LOVERIN JEAN LaDELLA BARBARA McLAUGHLIN JOAN McGregor ROSEMARIE MATTIMORE MARY ANNE MASON JOANNE MORTON EVELYN ANN MONROE ELIZABETH MILLS MARJORIE MELL CLEVETTA PARRISH VELMA CASTER MARY NELSON SHIRLEY ANN MYERS ANN PINE DOROTHY PERRY DELORES PAWLOSKI FAYETTA PAULSEN JEANNE PRIMEAU VIRGINIA PHILLIPS DONAVON PHEBUS ANITA PETERMAN V| i% fl f?

One of the most outstanding social achievements of your Student Council came with the spring Homecoming, welcoming back Veterans and Alumni. On Tuesday, April 30, council gave a big hello in the form of an informal coke dance in the afternoon climaxed by the Brown and Gold Fantasies given dt night in the Central High School auditorium. After what we hope has been a successful year, there is but one thing council wishes to do, and that is to thank the Administration, Faculty Council, Student Wel- fare committee, and the students of Western for their cooperation in helping the council accomplish what it has this year. We also want to wish our new council lots of luck for another good year.

Accordingly, the group joined the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peoples and the Women ' s Action Com- mittee for Peace. Cooperation was maintained with each group throughout the year. To help place the information it received on current issues before the college. Arista initiated a coeducational group called the Committee for Social Action. Later the committee drew members from Kalamazoo College and became known as the Inter-Campus Committee for Social Action. It encouraged students and towns- people to think about and discuss international, racial, labor, religious, and political issues and then to take an active part in working toward their solution. Arista suggested that Student Council sponsor a relief drive for peoples of war damaged countries and worked with council members on the drive. It placed before council and other organizations the Foster- Parent plan of adopting war orphans. Other activities included entertaining the alums at a Fall Homecoming break- fast, initiating a new member, Evelyn Boettcher, in April, and combining the annual chocolate to honor sophomore women with a reunion with alums at the Spring Home- coming. Arista also suggested that various organizations entertain the wives of vets on campus. Nineteen forty-six for Arista was climaxed at the June Breakfast with the tapping of Junior girls to become Aristians next year. Officers for the year were: Carlene Bagnall, py---- m,..- rii„,. r jd, vice- president; Margery Dawe Papenguth, secretary; .

Throughout the year it made an effort to revert to its pre-war status, adding new ideas suggested by returning vets and new students on campus. The Men ' s Union again put on its traditional Thursday afternoon Open Hous- es, and as a variation, added a dance band to two of its functions. The Union, in line with other traditions, held the annual tournaments. The following were named champions: ping pong singles, Val Bleech, Kalamazoo; ping pong doubles, Ed Taylor, Hamtramck, and Jim Clark, Rockford; billiards, Lyle Tambling, Hart; pool, Lyle Tambling, Hart. Other activities engaged in by the union were: the purchasing of magazine covers for the lounge; publishing of the Veterans ' Homecoming program; staging and featur- ing the Men ' s Union formal dance in the Men ' s Gym. On April 6th the Men ' s Union sponsored something new in Western ' s dances which they called a sock dance.

With an increase in Western ' s male population, Men ' s Union was organized and began sponsoring the Open Houses held by the League last year. A record crop of freshmen women called for an enlarged Junior-Senior Sister pro- gram, and a week of well-planned activities was arranged under the leadership of Doris Sprinkle and Kay Stimson. One of the highlights was the Who ' s Who Party in the form of a Jean Jamboree. The annual Christmas Chocolate, one of the most popular of League activities, was under the chairmanship of Margaret Baker. A further reflection of post-war changes was the large attendance at the Winter Wonderland formal, held in February, with Ann Hall as chairman. Over 250 couples danced to the music of Frank Lockage ' s orchestra. A second Who ' s Who party for incoming freshmen was held at the opening of the spring term, with a theme of Western Way. Jean Smurlo was in charge. Spring activities included the Mothers ' Tea, in the Walwood ballroom, and the annual June breakfast, honoring senior women and outstanding freshmen, and was marked by fun, flowers, food and friendliness. 84 Jeannie calls a meeting of the cabinet A singing session at the parly given for Freshmen The co-eds get together for a party .V omen s A ' . . afternoon tea ;:tional and on one nile on another the Wednesday afternoon teas in the Davis room :. occasion special recognition was given the February South American students on campus were guests.

With a competent staff made up of veterans of the year before, a special eight page fresh- men edition was prepared and distributed during the freshmen orientation days to help acquaint the inco ming students with Western. Aided by Miss Blanche Draper, head of the college publicity department and former editor of the Herald, and the hard working members of the college print shop, the Herald met every dead- line against many obstacles and kept abreast of the overwhelming amount of news during the year. Presenting colorful and unusual make-up through the use of catchy feature lines, many cuts. 86 ute tcdo Left to right: Lee Rorabach, Florence Huizenga, Joyce Warner, Pat Fritz, Mary Waldherr, Isabel Millar, Nancy Britten.

No ordinary contribution to the paper ' s in- terest was Sport ' s Editor Dick Kishpaugh ' s com- plete coverage of the many athletic events through- out the year. Dick ' s vast background in sports both in and out of college enabled him to turn out a top notch sport page every issue. Working together as Feature editors through- out the year, Carlene Bagnall, Margaret Wolga- mood and Anne Oas worked long, hard hours to find and present unusual and challenging ma- terial in the form of Jim Hausman ' s popular col- umn The Campus Character and other timely feature articles and news. The girls, supplement- ed by an efficient staff produced an excellent feature page consistently. By no means the least of many jobs required to effectively produce a successful weekly paper, was the task of handling the financial and circu- lation business. Beverly Buckham, oering, 3osker 87 Directed by Janet Doering, the business staff handled the advertising, budget, bills and other business in an effective mann er steadily from the first week to the last. The mailing staff led by Joe Salamun, toiled many weary hours each week wrapping and addressing Heralds for mailing. Highlighting the year ' s events involving the Herald were the Freshmen edition, the fall Homecoming Supplement, the Special High School edition, the Spring Homecoming issue and the Commencement number. The editor together with the editor of the Brown and Gold, Lois Austin, attended the First Annual Press Conference given by the Detroit Free Press in March. The traditional Herald-Brown and Gold banquet was held late in June. Throughout the year the Herald tried to present all the news of interest as well as supporting the student drives for Red Cross, Victory Bonds, World Student Service Fund and others, student activities and organization programs by both faculty and students. It was glad to welcome back to the campus many former men returning from the armed services as well as many new faces of veterans wishing to pursue their education at Western. In the editor ' s own words, I attempted to incorporate within the 1946 Herald items of interest for all those connected with Western including students, faculty and alumni. It was my intent to provide a medium of publicity, information, interest, enjoyment and constructive criticism through the pages of the Herald. I would not have been able to accomplish this without the wholeheart- ed assistance of the staff. To them, for all their hard and conscientious work all year, I wish to express my sincere and unending appreciation. Through the year the Western Herald sym- bolized the spirit of a new and enthusiastic Western.

LOIS AUSTIN Editor JAMES CLARK Business Manager C lie Jj rown an J QolJ When school opened on October 15, much time and thought had already been placed on the 1946 Brown and Gold by the editor. During the course of the summer, ideas were gathered from other schools, and plans were laid out in dummy form of what the editor thought would represent life at Western this coming year. Shortly after the school started we began to take appointments for the class pic- tures which were taken by Slocum ' s Studios. Many students turned out for the staff and we did not waste any time in getting started. Although materials were some- what easier to secure this year we still encountered many problems in photography and printing. By the middle of the year most of the dummy was completed and things were well on their way. With the return of a lot of veterans and the increase in enrollment, we were able to include more of Western ' s activities. Many organizations and fraternities that had been discontinued during the course of the war were reorganized. We were once again able to depict life at Western during ordinary peace-times. 89 JANET GOODRICH Feature Editor Jerry Lucas Watts Johnson Beverly Waterbury Kay Rozeboom Lois Austin was editor this year, and Jim Clark served as business manager. Dixie Lee Stafford was the Associate editor and did a fine job in keeping things going for the staff. Janet Goodrich, the feature editor, put in a lot of time preparing candid pages and feature pages for the book. Norm Williams acted as the chief photo- grapher, and did a wonderful job in taking all the club pictures and many campus shots. Norm has set up a dark room in the Brown and Gold office, and all the work for the Brown and Gold was done there. He put in a lot of work and time, and all the credit for the photography of the book goes to him. Dick Kishpaugh took over the sports editorship almost in the middle of the year, and in spite of the short time limit did a fast and excellent job on the sport section. Many other students helped as staff members, and even though at times we DICK KISHPAUGH Sports Editor Lynn Maurer, Jo Smith, Margaret Farrell Shirley Ann Myers, Charlotte Smith have felt it all hopeless, we have had a lot of fun working on the book. The staff climaxed its year by having its annual banquet at which the new editor and business manager for 1947 were an- nounced. Working on the book has kept us all quite busy, but it has been worth it. Our only hope is that we have picked out the things that were important this year, and that we have made this year at Western a memorable one through this yearbook. Western is a growing institution, and many changes will probably be noted in next year ' s book. However, we hope that this book will bring back to you many happy memories of what Western was like this year, and make a stronger tie between you and life at Western.

Pla ijers Traditions of Players necessarily suspended during the war became alive again this year. The first of these was in response to the revival of Homecoming at West- ern. For their Alumni, Players gave the grotto scenes from the Song of Bernadette, their last year ' s production. The scenes were followed by a tea on the stage of the Little Theatre. Thirty people successfully passed the tryouts in the spring semester and were accepted into Players as pledges. The Pledges presented the following one-act plays: Two Crooks and a Lady by Eugene Pillot; The Powers That Be by S. S. and E. C. McCarty; and Overtones by Alice Gerstenberg. One of the most beloved customs of Players was realized at Christmas time when Players met at Miss Shaw ' s home for their seasonal party. It was preceded by the traditional Sunday Event of seniors decorating and having dinner at Miss Shaw ' s. In December, Players began rehearsals for Rossums Universal Robots, and for eight weeks the cast lived in a world of the future ... a world of progress and of robots. Four alumni returned to act in the production of R. U. R. , which was presented January 3 1st, February 1st and 2nd. Following the Saturday night performance, another great tradition was reborn . . . that of the Players ' banquet. Alumni from twenty-three midwinters, from the year 1921 to the present members, were guests at the banquet. 92 For the remainder of the year, Players met for recreation at Thursday afternoon teas. Through the activities of Players, the members of the organization once more tried to live up to the preamble of their constitution: The Players of Western Michigan College, through study and presentation, shall strive to increase the ability of the members to analyze, interpret, and assimilate the emotional, artistic, and intellectual content of the drama. Still further, as a result of these productive efforts, there shall come an attempt to inculcate within the student body, as a whole, a sense of values and an ability of discrimination and recognition of that which is truly of worth.

The cast was composed of Player ' s along with the members of Miss Shaw ' s play production and acting classes. Three performances were given for the public, and one for the Nuns of Kalamazoo and the State Hospital respectively. It was a hard production, but it was highly successful. It was the simple ACT I, SCENE I — Peyramale: And of what are you so ignorant, Bernadette? Bernadette: I guess . . . nearly everything.

Beta Iota Chapter was organized in 1929 and has always been one of the very active groups on Western ' s campus. It aims at social programs and entertainment as well as educational activities. It also provides an op- portunity for discussion and friendship. Outstanding among the events of the year was Beta Iota ' s presentation of Dr. Willis A. Sutton, a noted educator, as a speaker for a general assembly. 98 Other highlights were the traditional chocolate for those freshmen who were honor students in high school; an address by Dr. Virgil Rogers, Battle Creek Superintendent of Schools, at the winter formal initiation; and the National Convocation held this year in Milwaukee. The delegates to this meeting were Flora Kubsch and Beverly Whyment. Dr. William McKinley Robinson served as the counselor, and officers for the year were: President, Flora Kubsch; vice president, Mary Ellen Dodd; secretary, Margery Dawe Papenguth; treasurer, Doris Sprinkle; and historian, Lillian Scott.

Its enrollment comprised of students from the business education, business administration, retailing, and secretarial curricula is one of the largest of all the organizations. This honorary commerce fraternity, which is the first chapter in the state of Mich- igan, has for its purposes to promote scholarship, to develop closer coordination be- tween college training and actual business experience, and to aid in the placement of students both in the business field and in the teaching profession. The meetings during the past year have been both educational and social. Speakers from firms in Kalamazoo have given timely suggestions to the group. Bowl- ing, a Christmas party, and a trip to Chicago were the social events. The annual June banquet at which the officers for the coming year are installed completed the calendar of events. 100 Those who are looking ahead predict a rapid growth for Western and the same prediction will be true for this organization. Increased college enrollment has brought an increased enrollment in the business department which promises greater and more successful years for Sigma Tau Chi in the future. The officers for the year were: President, Marie Van Huis; vice president, Mary Ann Zitney; secretary, Ann Radwanski; treasurer, Beverly Buckham; statistician, Maribeth Bennett; alumni secretary, Shirley Hill.

The Y. W. C. A. club on Western ' s campus is open to all women students enrolled at Western. At the beginning of the school year the Y club helped sponsor the Annual Friendship Breakfast held on the first Sunday of the school year to honor new fresh- men and women transfer students to Western. During Homecoming week-end, Y held a breakfast in honor of its alumni. The theme for the first semester was The Problems of World Peace. Three guest speakers, Dr. Knauss, Dr. Manske, and Mr. Horton, helped carry out this theme. The annual candlelight Christmas worship service was held, at which time Frances Helen Mains, regional Y executive was the guest speaker. Our main service pro- jects included the sponsoring of the WSSF drive, and the partial support of a foreign child. 102 During the second semester an Easter Worship service, interesting discussions and speakers, service projects, a fun night at the downtown Y, and a hayride were among the activities which were enjoyed. The annual spring banquet was held in May at which time the next year ' s of- ficers were elected. The annual spring picnic, given in honor of the seniors, conclud- ed a successful year.

The club is organized to benefit students preparing for professions in medicine, dentistry, and medical technology, and has Mr. F. J. Hinds of the biology de- partment as faculty sponsor. One of the most instructional meetings of the year was a trip to Borgess Hospital, where the group observed the operating rooms and laboratories. The club was espe- cially fortunate to have Dr. Joseph H. Reno lecture on bone deformities, and also present several X-rays to further explain his theories and practices. Other events were the presentation of a film from the Upjohn Company dealing with preparations and techniques used in the manufacture of drugs, from research through the finished product; a talk by Miss Eleanor Hall on the transition from medi- cal technology training to the actual hospital work, and a lecture by Dr. Southworth dealing with the functions of the general practitioner.

Highlights of the year include the open house held for the alums at Homecoming; the celebration of the Roman Saturnalia held at the home of Miss Kraft; the formal initiation dessert; the annual spring banquet; and a trip to the archeological museum in Ann Arbor. The club also sent clothing and money to aid the critical need of Greece. A campus-wide clothing drive was organized to further this project. This year a club song was written and introduced by Mae Anna Farrell. The song expressed fully the purposes and ideals of the club. Classical Club was organized for those students interested in Roman history, cul- ture and language. It aims to give its members a broad cultural background and an interest in the classics. Officers for the year were Mavis Martinson, president; Barbara Kane, vice presi- dent; Lillian Scott, secretary; Mae Anna Farrell, treasurer; and Frances Walker, social chairman. The sponsors are Miss Kraft and Miss Rix. 105 Science iyiub Left to right: First row: Lucille Thompson, Max- ine Pope, Irene Strickland Second row: Jeanne Alwood, Donna Hackley, Toni Campbell, Naomi Fox Third row: Paul Splitstone, Mr. Boynton, Wilma Brenner, Mar- garet Watson, Betty Coy, Kath- leen Williams, Virgil Kwast The Student Science Club was organized in 1921 for those students with a high scholastic average, interested in physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, geology, and psychology. The purpose of the club is to maintain the great aspects of science, scientific attitude, scientific knowledge, and scientific method. We had many interesting programs du ring the year. Dr. Rood gave a talk on Gyroscopes, Dr. Osborn spoke on The Atomic Bomb, Mr. Blair talked on the Devel- opment of the Locomotive, Dr. Kenoyer spoke on Heredity and Environment, and Jerome Bigelow and Eldon Hitchcock gave a demonstration on colloids.

Faculty recommendation, a 2.0 average, and twenty hours in the social science field are the qualifications neces- sary for initiation. The aim of Pi Gamma Mu is to instill in the mind of the individual a scientific attitude towards all social questions and so send out from colleges and universities young men and women imbued with social idealism. Paralleling this aim of a sci- entific attitude is one of cooperation between students of the several branches of social science, thus contributing further to the solution of social problems. In addition to the regular business meetings, discussion groups were held during the year in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Bigelow and in the Blue Room of Spind- ler hall. The latter, a student sponsored meeting, was highlighted by an informal address by Mr. Taylor. The spring initiations and annual banquet were also among the principal events of the year. Mr. Leonard Gernant and Dr. Knauss served as faculty sponsors. Marie Van Huis, Anne Snyder and Mr. Gernant operated as the social committee. Officers for the year were: Jerry Lucas, president; Evelyn Boettcher, vice president; and Dr. Comfort, sec- retary, treasurer. 107 Left to right, front row: Wilma Brenner, Mary Waldherr, Marian lenson Bock row: Wayne Shirley.

It is one of many International Relations Clubs found on campuses all over the United States and in many parts of the world, sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for In- ternational Peace. The purpose of the club, as required by the Endowment, is the study of Inter- national Relations in order to promote that deeper understanding which may lead to wider cooperation. At no time does the club advocate any particular policy. Members may do so but the club itself exists solely for study and investigation. As an aid to the study of the clubs, the Carnegie Endowment sends semi- annually to each International Relations Club, a consignment of from eight to twelve books dealing with international problems. The Carnegie Endowment also promotes the holding of International Relations Club Regional Conferences to which are sent delegates from each club in the region. The I. R. C. at Western is a member of the Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, a nd Wisconsin Region.

It is affiliated with the youth section of the American Country Life Association. The club is open to all students on campus who are interested in rural life. Dr. Wm. McKinley Robinson, director of the Rural Life and Education Department, is the faculty sponsor. Bi-monthly meetings consisted of a book review, speakers discussing safety edu- cation and children ' s books, folk dancing, and a group discussion concerning compul- sory military training. A discussion on Aspects of and Experiences in Military Edu- cation was led by a panel of seven returned war veterans of the organization. One meeting was devoted to the presentation o f a typical program which could be present- ed in the schoolroom by rural elementary children. A highlight of the year ' s activi- 112 ties was the annual Christmas party at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Robinson where Why the Chimes Rang was presented in pantomime. Christmas gifts were sent to the Douglas Community Center. The year ' s ac tivities concluded with the annual spring picnic at Milham Park. Officers for the fall semester were: president, Maribeth Bennet; vice president, Marian Luegge; secretary, Freda Schreer; and treasurer, Dorothy Zick.

C. The local chapter was organized on Western ' s campus in 1938, has been continuously in good standing, and in 1942-43 was cited in the United States as the Banner Chapter. A chapter was first organ- ized at Western in 1938 with a few interested students, and since then it has grown in membership to one of the largest organiza tions on campus. This chapter, named after Dr. George H. Hilliard, head of the Department of Education, was the first chapter in Michigan to receive a charter from the National office in Washington. The members of the club are men and women on campus who are interested in the profession of teaching. Each member is automatically a member of the National 114 Education Association and the Michigan Education Association and is thereby entitled to the journals of both. The program of the club this year was centered about travel. Speakers throughout the year hove been outstanding and helpful, trips to local places of commerce and industry have been interesting, and a trip was made to Washington, D. C. in May. The local chapter is sponsored by Carl R. Cooper, Alumni Secretary. The officers for the year are Lois Solomon, president; June Griffith, vice president; Katharine Frans, secretary; Rosemary Blanchard Brown, treasurer; and Marjorie Hill, librarian.

Veiercuis Uuw The beginning phases of c: retam to a pre-war campus ore reflected in the Qiorles Van Eeuwen Command of Veterans of World War II which was estab- lished January 8, 1945, at Western. At the initial meeting, twelve veterans became charter members, and Charles Starring was named faculty sponsor. At the present time there ore over one hundred members, and Carroll Vannotter is Commander. Titled in honor of the first Western l chigan College student to die for his country after Pearl Harbor, the organization has as its purpose the following: To perpetuate the memory of the dead; to maintain true allegiance to the gov- ernment of the United States, its constitution and its lows; and to foster true patriotism. It also aims at prese: — —- -nd strengthening comradeship among its members, assisting in the : nt of veterans to coUege life, and discussion of and participation ir. _ ' .e:r problems. Each semester brings many reroming veterans to Western and the members of this organization feel that io hove established a criterion for such a change to a prewar campus, inculcating postwar standards, has indeed, been deemed an honor. The Command has a roster of speakers, men active in the fields of veterans ' administration and current affairs, who, from time to time, address the members art regular meetings.

Ad- mission was solely by purchase of war stamps. In the course of the evening a formal presentation of candidates for the title of Bond Queen was made. Ten candidates were selected on the basis of beauty, personality, and renovra on campus. Student ballots, issued with bond and stamp purchases during the drive determined the final selection of Bond Queen. An additional feature of the dance was an auction, open to bidding in terms of war bonds. Various objects of interest, including sweaters, nylons, cakes, dinner and theatre passes were used tc =r.r: ;rr - -rr T-om the crowd by on efficient auctioneer, jerry Lucas.

The purpose of this club is not only to give to its members ideas which will help them in their teaching, but also give them on opportunity to become acquainted with other girls who have the same interests as they have. It is divided into eight groups headed by junior and senior girls, each group being responsible for one meeting. A Get-Acquainted party on November 1 1 was the beginning of the many events of the club. At this party freshmen were introduced to the old members, officers and committee members. At Christmas time, stories and carols around the tree were part of the seasonal entertainment. The annual Christmas sale was held and the proceeds were used to provide a Christmas basket for a needy family and to aid in the Christmas celebration in Kalamazoo ' s two community centers. In January, Reverend Howard Tensink spoke to the club on spiritual ideals for the new year. A humorous St. Patrick ' s day play and stories provided the entertainment at the regular March meeting. At the annual spring banquet the officers for 1946-47 were installed and the traditional June picnic gave a perfect ending to a very successful year. Officers for the year were: president, Noreen Gatenby; vice president, Mary Ellen Dodd; secretary, Phyllis Dean; treasurer, Lois Dethmers; Women ' s League representative, Jean Case Smurlo. Other group leaders were: Lois Solomon, Joyce Timmer, Margery Dawe Papenguth, Barbara Shannon, Bev- erly Waterbury, Anne Snyder, and Dorothy Riddell. Mrs. Phillips and Miss Blackburn were the club ' s sponsors. 118 Left to right: First row: Corleen Ponitz, Audrey Brailsford, Lee Outley Second row: Pat Harper, Annabelle Myers, Jean Smurlo, Rosemary Brown, Lois Solomon, Dorothy Brown, Laurajane Loverin, Lois Lane Third row: Barbara Shannon, Joan Barker, Julia Wilson, Maxine Palvey, Joyce Tingley, Helen Huntley.

It has been outstand- ing in all of its activities this year, handled under the capable leadership of the presi- dent, Jean Humphries Butler. Monthly meetings were held throughout the school year with a variety of interest- ing programs. Some of the programs included: a hat demonstration, several book reviews, flower demonstrations, the Christmas party which was held at the new Home Management House, and a style show. A formal initiation was held which brought several new members into the club. Other events combining business with pleasure were the Home Ec supper, a dorm hot dog sale, and a cloth monkey sale. The formal banquet was held at the Civic Theatre and was one of the climaxing events of the year. The final get-together of the year was the annual picnic which was held at Milham Park. The officers of the year were: Jeanne Butler, president; Dorothy Bailey, vice president; Ruth Sheldon, secretary; and Betty Moerdyk, treasurer. The officers elect- ed for next year are: president, Beverly Slover; vice president, Beverly Buckham; sec- retary, Martha Cross; and treasurer, Phyllis Kooistra. 122 Left to right: First row: Carol Stephens, Margaret Ruse Second row: Janet Haslett, Marcille Pridgeon, Linnea Swonson, Phyllis Kooistra Left to right: First row: Allison Smith, Joyce Floore, Carmel Elliott, Beverly Slover, Beatrice Egqleston Second row: Mary Agar, Madge Blair, Doris Dale, Virginia Croff, Charlotte Grant, Jackie Waller, Roslyn Meinel Left to right: Miss Stamm, Ruth Jeanette Loode Blackman, Doris Sprinkle, Left to right: Phyllis Ash, Miss Reid, Fern Brown, Kalherine Carpenter, Evelyn Jenkins, Freida Jaeger, Jeanne Butler, Margery Papenguth, Barbara Goens, Dorothy Bailey, Norene Blust 123 J aier c lemenianj ULuh Left to right: Mary Callaghan, Isabel Millar, Lois Eikenhout, Marguerite Jewett, Jac- queline Smith, Barbara Gage, Martha Wright Left to right: Rosellen Parcell, Evelyn Bottger, Ruth George, Virginia Danielson, Al- dean Jarvis, Lorraine Timmerman, Margaret Mary Farrell, LaVone Billion The Later Elementary Club is comprised of students who have as a common in- terest the problems and methods of teaching in the later elementary grades. It aims both at acquainting prospective teachers with such problems and methods and also at promoting friendship and entertainment. During Homecoming week the club sponsored the sale of homecoming buttons and entertained the alumni with a coffee. The programs for meetings included club talent nights, book reviews, discussions, and speakers. Among the speakers were Miss Guardia who related the later elementary education in Bolivia and Mrs. C. Davis who reported on girl scout activities. Other events of interest of the year were the annual Christmas party at Miss Katherine Mason ' s home and sales of special Western Christmas cards and food sales. A special highlight of the year was the visit to a progressive school of educa- tion and to Clear Lake Camp. Hikes, teas, and fun nights were included in the social limelight. The officers for the year were: president, Lorraine Timmerman; vice president, Mary Callaghan; secretary, LaVone Billion; treasurer, Doris Koch. Miss Katherine Mason and Miss Lenora Brennan acted as sponsors. 124 yyioaern dJance ( Luh Left to right: Jane Cook, Francis Karbadon, Virginia Nickon, Florence Leland, Jacqueline Anderson, Mary Hoebeke, Rosemary Alaria Western ' s Modern Dance Club, one of the oldest organizations on campus, was organized for women students interested in the art of modern dance. The purpose of the organization is to promote interest and appreciation to all in the art of modern dance. This club, under the capable direction of Miss Sarah McRoberts, met every Tuesday at seven fifteen. Though the club adheres to classic interpretations, there has also been adaptation to world and national affairs. In this vein an extensive and intriguing program was planned in preparation for a program in the future. Though open to all Western co-eds, only those having a definite interest usually become members. Requirements for the club call for an original interpretation of an idea or feeling which is performed at the initiation. Officers for the year were: President, Jacqueline Anderson; secretary-treasurer, Freda Brandt. Those not in the picture were Clara Richmond and Freda Brandt. 125 ofri eu Although well noted for solving mcmy headaches, the Art Club was confronted with decorating the campus for Homecoming Day last fall to start the year off with a bang. Students were kept busy scurrying around, searching for dummies, crepe paper, odds and ends to give the buildings a new lift. The Art Club alumni were en- tertained at a Chat and Chew that afternoon. The annual membership tea soon followed with new members expressing their desire to join. Their willingness was shown by presenting projects for approval by the clxib. The projects were displayed at the yearly Christmas Party which served as the formal initiation of the new group. At the beginning of the second semester, stu- dents were again invited to join the club. At the monthly meetings this year, the club enjoyed talks by several faculty members including Miss Grace Gish, Mr. Wallace Garneau, and Mr. Ray Pellett. Mr. Harry Carpenter, well known commercial artist and former student at Western, talked about the present-day problems of the commercial artist. Sculpture was the topic of a lecture by Mr. Bryan Williams of Kalamazoo College. Again this year, the eatingest club on campus prepared a dinner in May at which Mr. Alfonso lannelli, designer and architect, spoke to the group. Among Mr. lannelli ' s work is the fountain at Kalamazoo ' s Bronson Park. An all-day trip to the Cranbrook Academy of Art brought the year to a success- ful close. Officers for the year were: President, Mary Eldridge; vice-president, Gloria Sow- miller; secretary, Lucetta Bemis; and treasurer, Barbara Kane. 126 Left to right Back: Janet Royal, Worthington DeBoer, Willo Rayburn, Alice Pratt Middle: Mary Lou Russell, Marianne Moore, Audrey Brailsford Front: Anna Porter, Helen Haskins, Mary DeHaan Standing: Marilyn Clark, Beth Boezwinkle, Mar- guerite Szakas, Marian Jenson Seated: Joan Van Laningham.

It is the honor science society on Western ' s campus. When it was first or- ganized, it was designated as Beta Delta Nu. The name was changed later by the Science club in May, 1921 to Kappa Rho Sigma. Students who are majoring or minoring in science or mathematics and have a high scholastic attainment as well as strong character traits are eligible for member- ship to the club. The members are selected only by the unanimous vote of the Faculty Science club. 128 JJer dJeiihclie Ven eui Der Deutsche Verein completed another busy and enjoyable year. The mem- bers began their activities by making sandwiches to sell to the students, thereby rais- ing funds for the World Student Fellowship Fund and various other projects of the club. The meetings included parliamentary practice, group singing, plays, readings, gomes, and parties such as the Christmas dessert held in the Davis Room. Included as additions to the membership roll were several veterans from the European Theater of Operations. Sponsors for the year were Miss Mathilde Steckelberg and Mr. Hermann Rothfuss, and officers included: president, John Kctrnemaat; secretary, Margaret Bullock; and treasurer, Eleanor Carter.

The W Club traditionally takes an active part in promoting worth-while campus activities. It has as its aims fellow- ship, high scholarship, greater school spirit, ideals of good sportsmanship, and clean living on Western ' s campus. This is an important year in the history of the W Club. It has been resumed after being discontinued during the war. Early in the term the returning members and those on campus who were eligible for membership met to reorganize the club and bring it back to its pre-war status. Among the functions of the W Club were included the annual alumni dinner- dance, the concessions at football and basketball games, the proceeds of which go partly to the club and partly to the athletic scholarship fund which the W Club founded. The club helps to keep the alumni in touch with their alma mater, and has much to offer to its members interested in athletics. The officers to lead the club during the year were: president, Ray Underwood; vice president, Mel Van Dis; secretary, Tom Krupa; treasurer, Wally Stukart. 130 Left to right: Mel Van Dis, Wally Stuckart, Ray Underwood, Tom Krupa Left to right: Roosevelt Mazyck, Dick Dunn, Ed Wietnik, Jason De Vries, Swift Noble, Ed Rossi, Ned Stuits, Bill Pope Left to right: Chuck Hockley, Ed Taylor, Gerald Clark, Casmir Ryniak, Ray Lorenz Left to right: Frank Velesz, Art May, Harold Throop, Earl Reyburn 131 OXanes LjIlid Left to right: First row: Mary Houqhtal- ing, Anita Swanson, Miss Evelyn Buerger, Wilta Reiser, Lorraine Moore, Geneva Kebler Second rovir: Florence Clementz, Mary Case, Jimmie Lou Pierce, Colleen Duryea, Mary Peters, Ellen Griner, Irene Vander Roest, Corlotta Hobbs, Marjorie McFall The Nurses ' Club is the organization on campus of all women who are either nurses already or who are studying to be future nurses. The club has monthly meetings which are of great interest to the members, because they feature programs which concern the problems and interests of nurses. The club joins the Bronson Hospital nurses for parties throughout the year. Officers of the club are: President, Anita Swanson; vice president, Wilta Reiser; secretary-treasurer, lone Bailey. Sponsors of the group are Miss Evelyn Buerger, R. N., and Miss Dezena Loutzenhiser. 132 Snapped as she was coming from the nurses ' home at Bronson Hos- pital, Lois Wilson of LeMoille, Illinois, Class of 1948, represents the thirty-five freshmen stu- dent nurses who have jeen taking academic training at Western Michigan College dur- ing 194546. cM. arses Foremost among the reasons why many girls from Michigan and surrounding states have selected Bronson hospital school of nursing is the fact that Bronson is affiliated with West- ern Michigan College. Those enrolling in the three-year course receive two years of college credit in addition to their nursing diploma, while students completing the five-year course are graduated with the Bachelor of Science degree. This year eighteen were enrolled in the degree course. To insure close cooperation between Bronson and Western, Dr. D. C. Shilling serves as chairman of the Nursing Education committee of the hospital ' s board of trustees. Student nurses live in the dormitory at Bronson, but they are enrolled as regular students at Western. Classes in nursing arts are conducted at the hospital with Miss Mary B. Anderson, director of nurses, Mrs. Allen Haines, director of nursing education, and Miss Leone Sweet as instructor. Outstanding local physicians present lectures on their specialties, while various head nurses from the hospital supplement with courses related to their departments. 133 r M ' Left to right: First row: L.

With the return of many of the old members, along with several new men, the organization was once more able to carry on many of its old activities. With this return to normality the glee club, as before the war, visited many places in Kala- mazoo, as well as in surrounding territory, besides giving its usual concert this spring in the Little Theatre. Although still small in numbers, the glee club was tops when it came to providing good music. Also, in addition to the group singing, it pos- sessed a quartet which performed several times during the year. This quartet consisted of Watts Johnson, and Roy Green, tenors; John Van Boven, baritone, and Dale Weaver, bass. Left to right: Dale . ' ' ohn Van Boven n.

The glee club was successful not only in its basic aim of presenting programs for the school and community, but also in its more subtle purpose of developing and enrich- ing the lives and musical experience of each member through association with great music. The year ' s schedule was a full one. The traditional initiation banquet was first on the calendar. The Christmas season was, as usual, a busy one. It began with the Christmas party at Mrs. Snyder ' s home and was preceded by caroling at the homes of various faculty members.

The first event of the season came at Homecoming when thirty alumni were enter- tained at a coffee held after the football game. Western participated in the national T. K. A. discussion tournament at Purdue University May 10. Bob Williams carried off top honors by placing among the ten best speakers. Next year, with Western as host, a three day tournament will be held on our campus. The arrangements for the event were carried out by Miss Anna Lindblom, who is on the committee and the national council. Next year, Western also plans to resume sponsoring Freshman extempore and oratory contests between local schools. As a climax to the year ' s work, the annual T. K. A. formal banquet was held in May. Anita Peterman presided as toast mistress, and speakers included Jack Ryan, Gerald Eggert, Miss Anna Lindblom, and Dean Hoekje. The traditional oil can, given to a senior who has done outstanding work in forensics, was presented to Jean Morrison. Active members were: Anita Peterman, president; Robin Fastenrath, secretary- treasurer; Bob Williams, Jean Morrison, and Miss Anna Lindblom, sponsor of the or- ganization. Gerry Carley and Jack Ryan were the only members-elect. Pledges included Dick Dunkelberger, Gerald Eggert, Paula Harrington, Roy Peterson, and Con- nie Sargent. 145 Uff Cyampiu C ltls On December 8, 1945, the initial organization meeting of the Off-Campus Girls was held in the Walwood ballroom. A representative group of girls met before-hand to plan the meeting and to establish aims and purposes for the organization. A tentative constitution was presented which included these aims of coopera tion and participa- tion in campus activities. At the meeting, Gerry Carley was appointed temporary chairman. The following girls were appointed to draw up a constitution for approval at the next meeting: Wilma Brenner, chairman; Marge Maurer, co-chairman; Rose- mary Cetlinski; Patricia Henderson, Betty Loewe, Rosemarie Mattimore, Maribeth Ben- nett, Doris EUenbecker, Mitzi Stone, Linn Swanson, Jean LaDella, and Robin Fastenrath. Gina Guidi was asked to head a committee to investigate a permanent name for the group. Pat Kingscott and Dixie Lee Stafford were appointed co-chairmen of the membership committee. A commission type of government was chosen by the group. The members were divided alphabetically into twelve groups, each of which elected one commis- sioner. The commissioners and their groups are: Group 1, Maribeth Bennett; group II, Barbara Bowman; group III, Gerry Carley; group IV, Robin Fastenrath; group V, Noreen Gatenby; group VI, June Kersten; group VII, Pat Marcusse; group VIII, Marge Maurer; group IX, Jean Richmond; group X, Barbara Scott; group XI, Jeanne Spur- geon; group XII, Beverly Vrany. On March 6 the commission met to elect officers and plan the spring program. Gerry Carley was elected chairman; Noreen Gatenby, vice-chairman; Marge Maurer, secretary; Barbara Scott, treasurer; and Maribeth Bennett, publicity chairman. The tentative schedule for the spring events included monthly business and social meetings, a spring formal, an open house honoring returned veterans and their wives, a tennis court dance, and a tea with the dorm girls as guests. 146 ACTIVE ORGANIZERS OF THE NEW CLUB Left to right: First row: June Kersten, Maribeth Bennett, Gerry Carley, Marjorie Maurer Second row: Barbara Scott, Noreen Gatenby, Jean Richmond, Beverly Vrany, Barbara Bowman, Jeanne Spurgeon, Patricia Marcusse Wilma Brenner, Rcsemarie Mattimore, Marjorie Maurer, Pat Kingscott, Linn Swanson, Maribeth Bennett Martha Wright, Eleanor Bosker, Pat Alerains, Marjorie Ritzman, Barbara Stephenson, Rosalind Laughlin First row: Kr, R-:I ii :, r Jt; I, Beatrice Egleston, . wens Ida Harfert, Marion I ■JliUiUl. 147 Sicjma CyCiii Ljamma It ' s a feeling grand to take you by the hand, and greet you as a brother. There are bonds that draw the men of Sigma Tau, And hold them to each other. As Sigma Tau Gamma ' s thirty-second consecutive year of activities came to an end, the fraternity looked back on one of it ' s most successful years on Western ' s campus. With the return of many of the old members to the Sig Tau fold, and once more experiencing the keen competition offered by the reappearance of the other male social fraternities on campus, Sigma Tau Gamma has put forth a greater effort to maintain its principle of active leadership on campus. During the year, Sigma Tau contributed many leaders in college activities, including two class presidents, editor of the Herald, business manager of the Brown and Gold, two Men ' s Union Board members, and five Student Council members. Two successful pledgeships were carried on, one during the winter months, and the second in the spring, bringing in a dozen new members. With the return of many ex-service men to the frat, the active membership was brought to over thirty members. Social activities that were held were the annual spring formal, stag parties, and hay rides. The formal, coming during the closing weeks of the year climaxed one of the most active years that Sigma Tau has enjoyed. Officers for the year were Donavon Phebus, president; Arthur Parynik, vice president; Robert Bishop, secretary; James Clark, treasurer. 148 Top picture, left to right: Joe Cooper, Don Phebus, Jim Burchell, John Klacking, Dick Skyles, Bob Bishop, Doug Everhart Bottom picture, left to right: Stan Heidanus, Edward Huntoon, Jim Clark, George Breckenridge, Bill Hatfield, Ed Leak, Don Fields, Dean Anderson 149 Top, left to right: Glen Momany, Ernie Schroeder, Charles Barlow, Ray Lorenz, John Shearer, Al Faloney, Burt Aldrich, Joe Belisle Bottom, left to right; Charles Hicks, Morris Persing, Frank Hale, Woody Creason, Grant Hogarth, Ken Ross, Jerry Sonnevil, Pete Anderson, Dick Johns 150 Uniecja Jjella 1 Id It was four years between the time the last member of Omega Delta Phi turned his back on Western ' s campus and marched off to join his frat brothers on the field of battle and the glorious homecoming this fall. Back to the pre-war standards of unrationed fun and friendship that was rem- iniscent of college before, came eighteen past members, veterans of the armed services, to reinstate the traditions and activities of the Omega Delta once more. The Straw- Hatters lost little time in promoting an avalanche of parties and social gatherings which has always been one of the prime motivating forces behind this independent fraternity. Dr. George Hilliard and Mr. Charles Hicks were welcomed back into the broth- erhood of the fret as their active sponsors to play host at the respective cottages on Long Lake, where both co-ed and stag parties highlighted the spring pledging and initiation. New members were formally initiated at the annual dinner held this year in the VanGogh Room of Walwood Hall and the hand of brotherhood was extended to Paul Abrams, Eugene Buechner, John Ell, George Smart, Dale Lundeen, Robert Barlow, Lyle Tambling and Alfred Johns. Officers for the spring term were Morris Persing, president; Melvin Brown, vice president; Burton Aldrich, secretary; Charles Barlow, treasurer; Myron Sonnevil, Sergeant-at-arms and Woodrow Creason, pledge-father. Officers chosen to serve dur- ing the summer session and fall term were Morris Persing, president; Joseph Belisle, vice president; Dale Lundeen, secretary; Dick Johns, treasurer and Woody Creason, pledge-father. The last big activity of the year was a frat picnic held in Milham Park in early June. Married members and their wives and other members and their guests en- joyed a day of outdoor sports, plenty of good food and singing around the camp fire. The Omega Delta looks forward to an even more active and enthusiastic year next fall and hope to see more of the old buddies back from service to help join with the other fraternities on campus in maintaining the scholarship and fraternal spirit, long a part of Western. 151 JLeia j)Ma Opslion Zeta Delta Epsilon, after a four year lapse, has again been reorganized and is once again participating in all of the campus activities. It is composed prim.arily of veterans v ho have served in all theaters of operation during World War II. This charter was renewed in February of 1946, and during this one semester has taken its place as one of the leading fraternities on Western ' s campus. Under the able guidance of Dr. Henry Knauss and Mr. Herbert Read, the frater- nity is assured of capable and successful leadership for the ensuing year. The year 1946 saw inaugurated the first annual Sweetheart C 3nce where over two hundred people helped celebrate the crowning of our sweetheart of 1946. Can- didates were elected from the various sororities, dormitories and off campus club. Their pictures were posted so as to acquaint them with the students, and those at- tending the dance were given a chance to vote on their ticket. Miss Mary Ann Nies of Holland, Michigan, was chosen queen and the other candidates assisted as her court. This dance, proving a huge success, will in time become synonomous with the name of Zeta Delta Epsilon. The Zeta Delta Epsilon Fraternity is purely a social organization striving to pro- mote greater fellowship on our campus. The term of activity was short this year, but next year proves to be a big year for the fraternity. 152 Left to right: Dick Raymen, Gus Lord, Gale Eimer, Red Campbell, Ralph La Blanc Left to right: Lester Krushes, Jerry Karsh, Howard Dulich, Walt Spkil, Ed Wietnick, Tom Marshall Left to right: Walt Chojnowski, Bob Carlson, Joe Salamun, Gene Ubbes, Claude Weathers, Red Liniger Left to right: Ed Marineau, Louis Rejardi, Bob Schlenski 153 Left to right; Jean Slapinski, Barbara Bowman, Ann Oas, Marguerite Vonnberg, Jo-Ann Austin, Margaret Farrell, Irene Imperi Left to right: Mary Waldherr, Edith Klenk Persing, Kathleen Williams, Betty Lee Sweeney, Donna Hockley, Naomi Fox Left to right: Joan Perry, Mary Ann Zitney, Yvonne De Young, Margaret Luck, Julia Smith, Joan Lange, Mary Jane Mummaw Left to right: Charlotte Grant, Bonnie Soger, Morgoret Schoeffer, Phyllis Jean Smith, Carol Stephens 154 Ofcaoi mil Academy, one of Western ' s oldest sororities, looks back once more with pleasure at the past year and ahead with new hopes toward next fall. The beginning of the year brought homecoming for Western in general, and Academy in particular when alums and actives met for luncheon at the Columbia hotel. Rejuvenated by this contact with those who have held the spirit for so long. Academy started the year with some lovely old traditions and some brand new ideas. Rushees turned from little girls to pirates during the fall rush parties and finally were allowed to act themselves at the traditional Christmas formal dessert. Both fall and spring pledges became official me mbers at the formal banquet in the spring. Academy joined with the other sororities in giving the inter-sorority Chocolate in February and with the sororities and off-campus girls in adopting a war orphan. A Mothers ' Day luncheon was held in the spring, and a bulletin was sent out to Acadalums telling them just what their sorority sisters had accomplished during the year. This year came to a wonderful climax at the annual houseparty in the spring, when, for two wonderful days, everyone forgot school and did as they pleased. Officers for the year were: Mary Waldherr, president; Elaine Kalke, vice president; Edith Klenk Persing, secretary, replaced by Betty Lee Sweeny the second semester; Jean Slapinski, treasurer; Margaret Schaeffer, marshal; Anne Oas, historian; Mar- garet Farrell, alumni secretary, and Jo-Ann Austin, publicity manager. Miss Ma- tilda Steckelberg and Miss Hazel Cleveland acted as sponsors. 155 JrL Jvappa Jvlio Pi Kappa Rho we sing to you Our songs of prai se. In reviewing this past year at Western, the Pi Kaps look back to fun and friend- ship. With barn dances, theatre parties, scavenger hunts, teas and desserts heading the rushing program, everyone had a good time. Informal initiation trials were held in the Davis room as usual and formal initiation by candlelight at the fireplace in Dr. Meyer ' s home was very impressive. The traditional houseparty at Gull Lake topped the entertainments of the season. The aim of the sorority for the year was to promote closer ties between the Pi Kappalums and the active sorority members. The fall homecoming and dessert given in the Davis Room with a book review by Dr. Brown helped to further this aim. Early in the spring the traditional newspaper, The Pi Kappa Rhorian was pub- lished and mailed to all alums. Pi Kap was in charge of the annual Inter-Sorority Chocolate with June Scales act- ing as general chairman. With the fine cooperation of the other sororities on campus regarding decorations, refreshments and guests, the chocolate was very successful. Miss Tamin and Dr. Meyer were sponsors for the year and officers included: Marilyn Skinner, president; Dorothea Kolch, vice president; Maxine Sprik, secretary; Jeanne Cynar, treasurer. Other officers for the year were: Mavis Martinson, publicity manager. Marguerite Szakas, historian-custodian, and Rosemarie Mattimore, alum secretary. 156 Left to right: Valare Cook, Lynette Oelz, Maxine Sprik, Jeanne Knox, June Scales Left to right; Maxine Smith, Lillian Sv enson, Jeanne Cynar, Rosemarie Mattimore, Jean Hurford Left to right: Jean Alwood, Frieda Correll, Dorothea Maxine Pope, Phyllis Woodard Kolch, Left to right: Marilyn Skinner, Mavis Martinson, Priscilla Barnes, Marguerite Szakas 157 Left to right: First row: Pat Brannick, Janet Goodrich, Jean Morrison Second row; Margery Papenguth, Colleen Cloney, Doris Sprinkle, Barbara Hawkins, Marie Van Huis.

We knew that many traditions could again be established that had to be dropped during the war. Now as the year is closing, we look back on a very suc- cessful year. Homecoming was the first activity of the year. A luncheon was given for all the alums in the Van Gogh room, where old and new Senators renewed acquaintances. The two rushing periods were lots of fun for both Senators and rushees. A State Fair, a tea, and an informal party at which everyone came dressed as they were the night before at 10:30, made up the first semester ' s parties. Five new pledges were taken in the first semester at the formal initiation held in the Civic theatre. The second semester ' s parties consisted of a tea, the annual Ace of Clubs party, and a picnic at Milham Park. Formal initiation at the Pioneer Tea Room brought in nine more new Senators. The inter-sorority chocolate, the annual Mothers ' day luncheon at the Coach and Four, and the inter-sorority formal were other activities of the year. As always, the Senators looked forward to the houseparty where everyone let loose and had a wonderful time this year. The Senatoriums were read and everyone brought to the close a very successful year. Officers for the year were: Kay Stimson, president; Carlene Bagnall, vice pres- ident; Margery Papenguth, secretary; andBarbara Hawkins, treasurer. Other officers were: Marie Van Huis, alumni secretary; Doris Sprinkle, historian; Mags Walgamood, publicity manager; and Colleen Cloney, properties. 159 C liela 1 1 OjLpka Theta Pi Alpha has had a busy and successful fifteenth year. The first event was the Believe It Or Not booth at the carnival arranged to welcome new stu- dents. Eleanor Proud was in charge of the event. One of the biggest affairs of the year was the Homecoming dessert with Beverly Whyment as chairman. During the war years Homecoming was eliminated, and it seemed good to see all the alums back for another Homecoming. Rushing the first semester was under the direction of Peg Watson. The jeans party and the Sunday night coffee were the outstanding events. Sceond semester rushing was highlighted by the Come As you Are Party with Adele Kuempel as rush chairman. March 14 was the annual inter-sorority chocolate which welcomed Freshman women. Gloria Sawmiller was Theta Pi ' s representative on the committee. A re- vival of the inter-sorority formal was welcomed by all. Due to the scarcity of men on campus the past few years, there had been no sorority formals. This gala affair was held in the ballroom on April 13th. In the spring one of the nicest things we did was to have an inter-sorority cook-out at Milham Park. Our regular meetings were highly enjoyable to all of us. Dr. Brown ' s review of James Hilton ' s So Well Remembered and Mr. Cooper ' s exhibition of his collection of precious stones were two of the outstanding meetings. The annual Mother ' s luncheon and the houseparty at Gull Lake climaxed the year. Truly this was one of our best and most pleasant years. The officers this year were: President, Betty Hoi ton; vice president 1st semester, Marie Babinec, 2nd semester, Noreen Belden; secretary, 1st semester, Kay Gilbert,, 2nd semester, Dorothy Rose; treasurer, Janet Doering. 160 Left to right: First row: Carol Ellinger, Suzanne Michen, Mary Milliman Second row: Janet Doering, Beverly Whyment Left to right: Margaret Watson, Lois Patterson, Eleanor Proud, Shirley Forbes, Lucetta Bemis.

Looking back we see that we had a pretty full calendar of social events, each a success in its own way. We started the year with a tea for Vandercook and Wcdwood girls. Next came the Homecoming chocolate for students, alums, and faculty. Our first Open House was held November 16th. Marge Hill represented Spindler as co-chairman of the inter-dorm formal, the Crystal Ball. We had our second Open House on January 25th with the theme It Might As Well Be Spring and Rudy Vo gelreuter ' s orchestra furnished the music for dancing in the dining room. We had a very lovely Christmas breakfast, and a senior dirmer, both of which are traditional in the dormitory. At the begiiming of the second semester, our group of girls was greatly enlarged by the new Spindlerites moving in from Vandercook Hall. They became very active also and participated in the teas and dinners given for the faculty. A coke party was given to honor the Vandercook girls and get them acquainted with the old Spindlerites. The year s activities were rounded up with a dorm formal, Sea Fever and another Senior dinn-: ' ' - • ring June graduates. The year was fun for all, and each one gained a lot frc: v... in Spindler this past year. Mrs. Hoyt was the new housemother for the year, and counselors assistmg were Miss Mary Doty, Miss Margaret Feather and Miss Flita Kohn. The nurse in the dormi- tory was Miss Whitney. Officers for the first semester were: Evelyn Boettcher, presi- dent; Ellen Addington, vice president; Lois Solomon, secretary; and Georgia Frasher, treasiirer. A new election was held at the beginning of the second semester so as to give the new girls a chance to elect their officers who were: Marjorie Sorensen, president; Marge Hill, vice president; Lois Solomon, secretary; and Mary Callaghan, treasurer. 162 ally in a 3 together The spacious Blue Room, Club rooms, and lobby of Spindler Hall were whirl of activities this semester, and gay, enthusiastic groups of co-eds were planning and enjoying some new event as pictured above. The Brown and Gold photograp)her caught them grouped about • - the lounge, holding dorm council, signing in guests at the desk and cc on the front steps. All this constituted life at Spindler for the year 1945-46 and as such will remain Ln each girl ' s memory as one of the most thrilling and pleasant years of her life. grand in oring sun 163 V JJalwooa jLall ycesLoi ence Back to normality! Once more the Walwood girls are living and entertaining in traditional fashion with faculty dinners, open houses, teas, and before dinner speak- ers on the social calendar. Walwood had a full year in the dormitory. The three dorms combined and gave a formal at Christmas time in the ballroom. Also at the same time the annual Christ- mas breakfast was held with seniors leading the caroling to breakfast. In addition to the regular teas, one was given for off-campus girls. At the close of the first semester everyone prepared for the great change to come in the second semester. Bunks replaced one of the single beds, and when we came back from vacation we were living three in a room, which has proven quite success- ful. Some of the second semester activities were the Easter breakfast, Mothers ' day dessert and a dorm dance. The real spirit of Walwood girls appeared when they adopted a child through the Federation of Youth Society, giving financial support during the crisis in war-torn Europe. Two sets of officers were elected for the year. Officers for the first semester were: President, Gerry Gordon; vice president, Marilyn Kurschner; secretary, Evria Smith; and treasurer, Marion Howe. Those for the second semester were: President, Shirley Anderson; vice president. Norma Woodard; secretary, Betty Chinnow; and treasurer, Mary Ann Nies. 164 Typifying the true spirit and friendly attitude of Walwood Dorm, the above scenes show the residents as they spent informal afternoons and evenings in the Green Room, lounges, and lobby throughout the year. Many an enjoyable hour was spent in group singing, bull sessions and reading and will always remain fond memories to the alumni of Walwood. 165 Vanaercook Jtall Like the return of so many pre-war activities and events that were discontinued throughout the war on Western ' s campus, this year was witnessed the return of regu- lar male students to the rooms of Vandercook Hall. Since the last resident packed his books and left to join his buddies in the armed forces in the spring of 1942, the dorm housed a Navy V-12 unit for seven semesters and three hunrded coeds for one semester. Now the men have returned to take up their education and college life where they left it before the war. To those returning to the familiar halls and rooms, being greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Towner Smith, dorm directors, meeting old acquaintances, and making new friends, it seems good to be back. To those entering Western for the first time or liv- ing in Vandercook for their first semester, it has all been an interesting and exciting experience. The annual traditions of the dorm were soon reactivated and after the semester began many dorm parties, open houses and the Teepee Tango were planned and carried out. Athletic teams were selected from each hall and as always, many a heated game of basketball and softball was played during the spring months. Returning again with the fellows, after serving in the army came Mr. Harry Hefner as counselor. Mr. Devere Curran and Mr. Raymond Scholfield were added as new staff members, all of whom helped share responsibilities with Towner Smith. Officers selected by the votes of their dorm mates were: Louis Rizzardi, president, John Hart, secretary -treasurer and Harry Wilson as chief proctor. Hall repre- sentatives were: Robert Fitch, Alfred Faloney, John Hart, Norman Anderson, Edward Moorhead, Rene Belisle, Louis Rizzardi, Jerry Lucas, Ivan Fleser, Harry Wilson, Maurice Sumney and Duane Lord. 166 Heavy reading in lighter moments Even Nylons wouldn ' t help those legs Some pass in. and others pass out. Sugar is sure out of sight these days Wii: Can those be books they are carrying? 167 For the first time in the histoiy of Vandercook Hall for men, co-eds occupied the dorm for the first semester of the year. As the last of the Navy V-12 unit moved out after the war, the increased enrollment of women students and the lack of male stu- dents to fill it caused the Administration to house women in the only men ' s dorm on campus. At the end of the semester, the increased demand for rooms by men returning from service, the women were given the opportunity to move either to Spindler or Walwood, each room housing three roommates instead of the usual two. While living in their rather unusual residence, the girls in Vandercook partici- pated in the annual Inter-Dorm Formal and held a gala open house in November. Coffees for faculty and friends each Sunday afternoon, Saturday sporting events, and a regular swim hour for Vandercook women were some of the activities enjoyed this year. Directing the dormitory while the women lived there was Mrs. Towner Smith, whose husband had formerly been in charge of the dorm before the war and who was then serving in the Navy. Working with Mrs. Smith on a dorm council were elected officers and a representative from each hall. The officers were: Dorothy Perry, president; Marian Miller, vice president; Nelda Mills, secretary; and Thelma Morrison, treasurer. Hall representatives were: Beatrice Lewis, Joyce Shouldice, Pamela Clark, Helen Meadows, Wilta Reisner and Jean Donaldson. 168 A hot record session in the Den livens up an evening Some dorm officers hold pow wov.

From the twenty members living there, the A. B. C. Club was formed, with Don Bender as president, and Jim Niccum as social chairman. Each student at Ar- cadia, as it came to be called, was a member of the club, and contributed generously to its ultimate success. Club meetings were held every Monday evening, in which matters pertaining to the pas ' and to the future were taken care of. Four Open Houses were held during the semester, each being an occasion for those who attended. The music for dancing was provided by a combination radio- record player owned by James Buster Walsh, and cokes and sandwiches usually rounded out the bill of fare . . . let ' s have no more dubious raising of eyebrows when Arcadia becomes the topic of conversation. The ABC club organized a basketball team and entered league play. The club also sang Christmas carols shortly before Christmas vacation began, to which the girls in all three dorms can testify. The carolers were par excellence! The crowning event of the semester was the open house just before Christmas. Arcadia was well decorated, even to the candles over the fireplace and the Christmas tree. It put everyone into the right spirit for the holidays and the final weeks of the term. 170 Left to right: First row: Jim Niccum, Dick Volz. ]. B.

One hundred fifteen girls came back in the fall to a clean dormitory and full of pep. Everyone looked forv ard to holding some of its traditions again that had been lacking during the v ar. The policies of the dormitory are determined largely by the dorm council which is made up of the officers, corridor representatives, and the housemother. They make such rules as they feel are needed and guide the social activities of the year. Quiet hours and campus regulations of closing hours are enforced by this group. The dormitory has its own cafeteria where the girls can eat, having cafeteria in the morning and at noon, and having a served dinner in the evening. A nurse is also provided for in the dorm to take care of all illnesses. At the beginning of the second semester, the residents of Walwood were forced to triple up, but even though it is a great change for those who were used to the old Walwood, the spirit still remains for which it is known. Mrs. Florence Tyler was the housemother, and Miss Carrie Stoeri, and Miss Hester Pellegrom served as coun- selors. 172 Vanaercook jtaLL Vandercook Hall had a complete turnover this year. During the first semester the co-eds of Western occupied its rooms, but during the second semester it went back to the fellows and resumed its natural pre-war spirit. The government of the dorm is handled by the council which is made up of its officers and precinct representatives. This group works out the activities for the year and the policies of the dorm as a whole. Vandercook does not have its own cafe- teria, but the men are able to secure their meals in the cafeteria at the Union. It does have its own coffee shop where they can get hamburgs and cokes, etc. Mr. and Mrs. Towner Smith act as director and housemother of the dormitory. Mr. Dever Curran and Mr. Raymond Schofield are the counselors who assist in the absence of Towner Smith.

Lemke, Shirley Forbes, Bonnie Schnoor, Charles Hul- bert, David Herwaldt, Rich- ard Dunkelberger The purpose of Western ' s Religious Activities Committee is to promote activities that will meet the religious demands of the student body. This year its efforts have been devoted to the continuation of weekly chapel hour serv- ices which have been held in the Union Building during the noon hour on Thursday. These services have centered around inspirational talks given by Kalamazoo ministers, members of the faculty and students. Special music, selections of scripture and sacred poetry with appro- priate prayers have been used to complete the services. The original objective in the establishment of these services was to form the nucleus of a religious program which could be trans- ferred to Western ' s memorial chapel upon its com- pletion. It has been toward the realization of this goal that this year ' s members of the committee have been devoting their efforts. The committee is appointed by the student council, and is made up of students as well as a faculty advisory committee. jJeste in OjLumnL Alpha Beta Epsilon Inter-Chapter Council Regular Banquet, March 1946 meeting, Lansing The Inter-Chapter Council of Alpha Beta Epsilon was organized at commencement time, June 23, 1926. Since then regular business sessions have been held in Benton Harbor, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and Jackson. Zeta Chapter of Lansing was the hostess organization March 16, 1946. The purpose of the council is to coordinate the work of the various chapters. In addition to the geographic centers mentioned above, the other two are at South Bend, Indiana, and Midland, Michigan. Twenty- six regular delegates were present in Lan- sing with ■ representation from every chapter. Fifty-seven attended the banquet. The total membership in the sorority is now more than 500. A final paragraph is welcomed to list some of the activities of the members of Alpha Beta Epsilon. Their collective endeavors include scholarships to worthy stud- ents, local benefits, community cooperation, support of the Western Michigan Col- lege magazine, organization of new chapters and a comprehensive plan for raising $10,000 for the campus chapel organ fund. 175 L(mon JjLULain The Union Building is the center of activity for Western ' s students with its soda bar, ballroom, lounge, game and club rooms. Mr. Cornelius MacDon- ald is general director of the union as well as the three dormitories on campus. He has charge of all the financ- ing of the dormitories and sees that living expenses are kept at a minimum rate. He is a friend of all the dorm- itory gals and he sees that they get the new improve- ments they need. The cafeteria in the Union provides a place for those students on campus who cannot eat in the dormitory or live off campus. The demand for dances on campus in these post-war days keeps the ballroom well occupied. The other rooms in the Union are always in use for organizations and committees, and it has become almost necessary to requisition these rooms weeks in advance. The Men ' s Union room and the Bertha Davis room provide a place to relax and chat with friends or play a few hands of bridge. See you at the Union has become the pass- word for all of Western ' s students. In fact, the use and popularity of the Union has become so great that an expansion program for it has been started to increase the soda bar and committee rooms.

HYAMES Director of Athletics The government of Western ' s ath- letic activities rests in the hands of the Athletic Board, which meets weekly to settle current issues in athletic matters. Members of the Athletic Board are Dean John C. Hoekje, chairman ex- officio, Mr. Gary, Dr. William Berry and Dr. George Comfort of the Faculty, Mr. Cornelius McDonald, Miss Elaine Eddy, president of the Student Council, and Mr. Ray Underwood, president of the W club. The board has a variety of duties, including the approving of schedules, the awarding of varsity letters, and the decisions of eligibility. Athletic Director Judson Hyames very capably presides over activities of the Athletic De- partment, but during his absence this winter, Mitchell Gary, assistant Athletic Director, has taken over his duties.

EDDY - ■.■OOD 179 ( Toe imn s ( oacL es Western ' s pre-war coaching staff was back on the campus in its entirety in the spring of 1946 with the return of five members who were serving in the armed forces. Mitchell J. Mike Gary was the first to return in the fall of 1945 and his return marked a new shift in the administration of the athletic department, as he was named As- sistant Athletic Director in co- operation with Athletic Director Judson Hyames. During Mr. Hyames ' absence in the winter of 1946, Mike was in charge of the entire department. Charles Maher, pre-war base ball coach, returned to take over his old position, and he was in charge when the Broncos turned out for the diamond sport in the spring of 1946. Maher ' s return to the baseball post left John Gill in charge of football alone. Towner Smith, the Bronco ' s track mentor in peacetime days, was back in time to take over the trackmen for the 1946 season. Roy Weitz, who had served as track coach during Smith ' s ab- sence, remained in the capacity of assistant football and track coach M RA A JH j Mike Gary Towner Smith Clayton Maus Buck Read John Gill Frank Householder Charles Maher Roy Weitz Fred Huff One of the other two men to return to the Hilltop was Frank Noble, former State High Coach, whose various duties in the post-war organization were not clearly defined as the Brown and Gold went to press. The organization of a swimming team under Noble ' s direction is one of the post-war aims. Dave Arnold was the last of the five absent coaches to return. Arnold took oyer the reins at State High, where Bob Quiring had been head coach of all sports since Arnold ' s departure. Of the coaches who remained on the campus during the war. Buck Read was the only major coach who stayed in the position that he held at the war ' s onset. Buck turned out another ex- cellent basketball outfit in 1946, while Clayton Maus handled the basketball B team and all intramural sports. Frank Householder carried on as Western ' s tennis coach, and Fred Huff remained in the capacity of golf coach throughout the war. With the athletic department personnel back to normal, the resumption of cross-country and freshman sports forthcoming, and the organization of a swimming team all within the present plans of the athletic department, the future will see Western far exceed its pre-war status as an athletic power. 181 oowaLLj ig j I A mingled group of Nervy trainees, civilian lettermen, and newly enrolled freshmen who didn ' t even go to school xintil the season was w ell under way greeted Coach John Gill in mid- Av.r:?- -.

WESTERN 21; ALMA COLLEGE 13 . . . Three long runs sent Alma College down to a 21-13 defeat in the season ' s opener at Waldo Stadium before a sparse crowd of 2,000 fans. Harold Rookie Throop, erstwhile Bronco baseball star, spxirked the Western offense that hand- ed Alma its fourth straight loss of the year. The date w as September 22, and a steady rain that fell throughout the second half kept the Broncos ' offensive offensive efforts at a minimum.

The Broncos hit their strike in the second period, vrith Throop going 33 yards to paydirt shortly after the start of the period, Perrin again adding the point, and Bob White taking an Alma punt on his own 33 and sprinting 67 yards to the clinching touchdown.

One of the best Central teams in many years pulled the old statue of liberty play to score the win- ning touchdown in the second period of the game. After recovering a Western fumble on the Bronco ' s 26-yard line, the Chippewas moved to the six yard line in five plays, and then halfback Bob Welch cut around his own left end on the trick play for the touchdown. Welch ' s placement went wide of its mark, and the day ' s scoring was ended. Following the Central touchdown, the Broncoes staged their only real offensive drive of the game, moving all the way to the Central 14 after the kickoff, only to lose the ball on downs at that point as three passes fell incomplete. Coach Ron Finch ' s Chippewas went on to their most successful season in many years, the win over Western highlighting their season. Only the youthful Broncos ' inexperience cost Western a chance to come out on top of a rough and hard-fought contest, but with this game under their belts, the Broncos traveled to Ohio the next week bent on making the powerful Bob- cats the victims of their compensation for the setback at Mt. Pleasant. Ned Stuits Bob White Ed Rossi 184 WESTERN 21; OHIO UNIVERSITY 20 . . .

A 76-yard march that started late in the third period resulted in the second Ohio score early in the fourth period, with Bob Rojeck taking a pass for the last 19 yards, Ruszkowski again adding the point to make it 21-14. There were five minutes left to play in the game when Ohio started from midfield and scored in six plays with Sayre going over from the four, and the score was 21-20 at that point. Ruszkowski re-entered the game to try for the tying point with his third straight conversion. The kick was straight - and two inches too low, and the Broncos ' margin of victory was safe. 1- Dick Dunn Swift Noble Bob Boston Ed Wietnik Joke DeVries Homer Doxey Rosie Mazyck Hal Tripp H . ...... p Artie May 185 Jay Formsma Jack McCuUagh Bill Perrin MIAMI UNIVERSITY 21; WESTERN 13 ...

In the final period, Miami marched 56 yards to another touchdown, with Couch going over left tackle for the score, and Harp again adding the extra point to moke the score 21-7 with six minutes left to play. Western scored again late in the game when Hilt Foster went over from the one yard line on a quarterback sneak, but Miami ' s margin was still safe after Perrin missed the extra point, the game ending with score 21-13 in Miami ' s favor.

WESTERN 26; VALPARAISO UNIVERSITY 6 . . . Hopes of an unbeaten season climaxed by a win over Western ' s Bron- cos were smashed into the turf of Valparaiso ' s stadium on Nov. 3 as the invading Broncos smashed out a 26-6 victory over Valpo for the Crusaders ' only loss of the year.

They took care of all the yell sections at both the football and basketball games. The cheerleaders are appointed by the Student Council, and they are directly in charge of displaying a lot of pep and fight by the crowd. It is their duty to keep at the crowd and pep up the spirit of the team when it is needed. The cheerleaders found that at the basketball games this year there was plenty of excitement and pep without need of much cheer-leading. The students are not always conscious of the hard efforts the pep team must have to make a successful season. They have tried to give us new yells and routines, and so it is hats off to the cheerleaders this year; Jackie Skidmore, Betty Rentner, and Audrey Brailsford. 189 JjaskewaLi ig o Only one plcr er v ith prev-ious collegiate experierxe cms .vered Buck Read ' s call for cage practice in November of 1945, and the Silver Foz of The Broncos had a tough job on his hands before the Bron?

Despite the fact that Don Boven rolled up 20 points for the Broncos, the floor play of Jackie Mott, Central guard, was the feature of the game. WESTERN 56; CAMP GRANT 54 . . . Another thriller in the Broncos ' gym - the Warriors of Camp Grant and the Broncos hooked up in a see-saw battle here on Jan. 30, and Western edged out a 56-54 margin.

At halftime, Western led 28-7 as Beloit scored only seven free throws, and in the second half, it was pretty much the same story as Western outscored Beloit 29-21. Johnny Cawood was hot and he looped in six baskets and a free throw for 13 points.

Western had built up a 27-22 lead, and all the way through the second half, Bradley couldn ' t quite take over the lead. Three times during the last half, the score was tied, but the Broncos hung on, and eventually came out on top. With Western ahead, 50-48, Bob Garber tallied for Bradley, but with 38 seconds left. Swift Noble was fouled, and he tossed in the winning free throw for the Broncos. MARQUETTE 56; WESTERN 47 . . . Western ' s six-game win streak came to end at Milwaukee on Feb. 9, when the Hilltoppers pounded out a 56-47 victory over the Broncos. Mar- quette was ahead by only two points at halftime, 19-17, but in the second half, Johnny Millunzi and Orlando Palesse started hitting, and the hosts pulled out to a ten-point lead which they held most of the way. Johnny Cawood was tops again for the Broncos as he scored ' ; ' ' ' ' ' ■ ' ree throws for 13 points, but Palesse scored 16 for Marquette and Millu:,. Hill- toppers. The loss was Western ' s sixth of the year against twelve victories, and was road contest of the season. 195 S C W«l V i M Zf ' Ut i yyr ■■s i -r-sr ' ' ? ' 3t;sx =t rt=r 1. WESTERN ' S B TEAM, under Coach Clayton Maus, rang up seven wins in eleven starts, with Frank Gilman, of Kalamazoo, leading the scoring for the season. In the above picture are, left to right, back row: Coach Maus, Walt Dmytryshyn, Hamtramck; Harold VanderKley, Kalamazoo Central; Joe Dillon, Lima, O., Central; Jay Formsma, Grand Rapids Wyoming Park; Ferris Post, Grand Rapids Central, and Tony Marfia, Fennville. Front row, left to right: Dick Hanna, Kalamazoo State High; Frank Gilman, Kalamazoo Cen- tral; Don Bender, Grand Rapids Central; Bob Sauers, Kalamazoo Central; and Ivan Moerman, Kalamazoo Central. All eleven of the boys in the above picture were awarded freshman numerals, in addition to Chuck Perkey, Kalamazoo Central; Donald Sutton, Wayland; Norbert Fleckenstein, Muske- gon and Tom Tober, Sturgis. In their first game, a preliminary to the Calvin game Dec. 12, the Bees were whipped by the Sutherland Co. team, 44-37, and in the second game, at Great Lakes on Dec. 21, the boys dropped a 54-40 decision to the Naval Hospital team. On Jan. 8 the Bees broke into the win column, trouncing Sutherlands, 71-19, and in the prelim to the Beloit game, Jan. 11, they hit their top score with an 80-27 win over the Upjohn Co. The Bees accompanied the Varsity down to Valpo on Jan. 19, and took a 45-43 defeat at the hands of the Valpo B Team. Returning home to play the opener before the Central Michigan game Jan. 26, the Bees clipped the Louie ' s Restaurant team, 44-36. Then, in the preliminary to the Camp Grant game Jan. 30, their last defeat came at the hands of the Great Lakes Naval Hospital, 65-53, after Western had left at halftime, 32-27. Four straight wins closed out the season. On Feb. 13, the Bees were host to the Decatur American Legion team, and a 50-33 victory by Western snapped the visitors ' unbeaten record. Next came the Shepherd Fuel Co. team, beaten 62-52 in the preliminary to the Assumption game on Feb. 16. Sweet revenge for the loss at Valpo came when the Bees clipped the Valpo Bees 52-38 while Western ' s varsity was trimming Valpo here on Feb. 19, and in the sea- son ' s finale against the W Club before the Bradley Tech game Feb. 23, the Bees closed out their season with a 73-39 triumph to finish with seven wins and four losses. 198 COACH HERBERT (BUCK) READ rounded out a quarter century as the mentor of the Bronco cage teams this winter by performing one of his most outstanding jobs of coaching in molding a winning team from the most inexperienced group of candidates ever to greet him at the start of a season. The 1946 record of fifteen wins and seven losses brought Read ' s all-time record to 311 wins and 141 losses since he took over in the middle of the 1922 season when Bill Spaulding left for Minnesota. The 300th win of his career came, fittingly enough, in the 54-51 overtime win over Utah here on Dec. 18. Bob Fitch, of Three Rivers, led the Broncos ' scoring for the season with 194 points, while Don Boven, one of the most improved players that Read developed through the season, seconded him with 177 points. Third was Johnny Cawood with 134, Andy Moses finishing fourth with 129, and Captain Mel VanDis fifth with 123. VanDis was the only player with collegiate experience on hand at the start of the year, but Bob White ' s aggressiveness, Andy Moses ' one-hand shots, and Don Boven ' s work at center sparked the Broncos until Johnny Cawood and Louie Lang returned to bolster the team. Even then the whole team clicked as one unit, with the other three men - Erwin Fitzgerald, Ralph (Bud) Bennett, and Swift Noble all three helping to make t he 1946 outfit one of Western ' s finest in history. Western was the highest-scoring team in the state of Michigan for the year, as they tallied 1,205 points to their opponents ' total of 1,065. A total of 480 field goals whipped through the nets for Western along with 245 free throws to set a new all-time record for one season for the Broncos. Only one point stood between Western and the climax to a great season when Bowling Green defeated the Broncos 59-58 in the season ' s finale, but even though the Falcons whipped the Broncos, the capacity crowd that jammed Western ' s gym was seeing a team play that had started from scratch and worked into a fine basketball unit. One of Buck Read ' s finest teams, and one of the most aggressive outfits in recent years, carried the Brown and Gold to a great season. 199 C rackj p o Western ' s 1946 track team was under the direction of two coaches - Roy Weitz, who coached a State Intercollegiate Championship winner here in 1945, and Towner Smith, pre-war track coach, who returned to the Hilltop shortly after the start of the school year in the fall of 1945. Eddie Taylor, the Hamtramck star high-jumper, captained the thinclads, and was the leading scorer most of the season. Taylor, who won a letter here in 1943 before entering the Army, returned to school after two and a half years of Army service. NOTRE DAME 74; WESTERN 21 . . . That was the score of the Bronco ' s first indoor meet, a dual meet with the Irish of Notre Dame at South Bend on Feb. 2. Captain Ed Taylor scored 15 out of the Bronco ' s 21 points as he captured three firsts. In the 440-yard dash, George Westfield took second and Herman Hawkins third, and in the 60-yard dash, Simmons of West- ern took a third place for the other Western points. Taylor tied the Notre Dame fieldhouse record for the 60-yard high hurdles with a 7.4 seconds mark, and he also won the 60-yard low hurdles in 7.1 seconds. Taylor ' s third first place came in the high jump, as he won easily with a mark of six feet, four inches. Notre Dame had too well-balanced a team for the Broncos to down, as the Irish scored slams in the 880, the mile, the pole vault, and the shot put. Smith talks to Eddie Taylor. Z, !: a , !

Western ' s 1946 outdoor track schedule had not started at the time that the Brown and Gold went to press. The indoor season ended on March 30 with competition in the Chicago Daily News Relays, and the outdoor season was scheduled to start on April 26th and 27th when the Bronco trackmen entered the Drake Relay Meet at Des Moines, Iowa. On Saturday, May 4, Marquette University, victor over the Broncos, 62-33, at Milwaukee in an indoor dual meet, is scheduled to come to Kalamazoo for a dual match in Waldo Stadium. On Thursday, May 9, the Broncos will travel to Albion for a dual meet with Albion College under the lights, and the following Saturday, May 11, Western will enter the Elmhurst Relay Meet at Elmhurst, Illinois. Two more dual meeds are carded for the outdoor schedule. On Saturday, May 18, Wayne University and Western will meet in a dual affair at Detroit, and the following week, on May 25, the Broncos will be host to Loyola University of Chicago for another dua l meet. The State Intercollegiate Meet, sponsored for almost 30 years by Michigan State College, will be held at Kalamazoo on June 1st, under the auspices of Western ' s Athletic Department. The Central Collegiate Conference Meet at Milwaukee on June 15 and the National Collegiate Meet at Minneapolis on June 22 will bring the track season to a close. 201 MICHIGAN STATE RELAYS ... On Feb. 9, the Bronco trackmen competed in the 24th annual Relay meet at Michigan State College, and again Ed Taylor was the star. The Bronco captain was the meet ' s high scorer, winning two first places. He took the 75-yard high hurdles in 7.5 seconds, and he cleared 6 feet, two and an eighth inches in the high jump. The University of Michigan walked off with all the team honors, despite the competition from Michigan State. THE NATIONAL A. A. U. meet at Madison Square Garden in New York saw Western represented by just one athlete, Ed Taylor. Against the best competition from all colleges and independent organizations, Ed came back with a second place in the high jump. In the CEN- TRAL COLLEGIATE CONFERENCE MEET at East Lansing on March 9, Western scored two firsts and two seconds to finish fourth in the team standings. Michigan State and Notre Dame waged a stiff battle for first place, with the Irish edging out State for the team title, with Drake Univer- sity ' s defending titlists in third place. Marquette trailed just behind Western. Bill Pope took second in the broad jump, and Taylor took first in the high jump and the low hurdles, and second in the high hurdles. MARQUETTE UNIVERSITY 62; WESTERN 33 . . . The Broncos ' second dual meet de- feat of the season came in the form of a 62-33 beating at the hands of Marquette at Milwaukee on March 16. Ke n Weisner, beaten the week previously by Eddie Taylor in the Central Colleg- iate Meet, high-umped six feet, six inches to set a new gym record. Only a tenth of a second kept Taylor from new gymnastic marks in the 45-yard high hur- dles and the 45-yard low hurdles. Taylor recorded a time of 5.9 seconds in the highs, and 5.6 seconds in the lows. Bill Pope won the 40-yard dash, with John McCarger third, and Chuck Hackesly turned in a good 2:9.4 time in the 880 for another first. Harold Humble finished second in the 440, Lloyd Hartman took third in the shot put, and Johnny Zeilinski took second in the mile and third in the two-mile run. PURDUE RELAYS at Lafayette on March 23 saw Miami University of Ohio beat Western for the team title in the college division, 30-17, with Baldwin- Wallace just behind Western with 16 points. Taylor cleared six feet, five and seven-eighths inches in the high jump for Western ' s only first. Western ' s teams in the spring medley relay and in the distance medley relay each took second places. CHICAGO DAILY NEWS RELAYS at the Chicago Stadium ended the indoor competition for the Bronco trackmen. Western ' s only points came in the mile relay, in which the Broncos finished third, behind Loyola of Chicago and Lawrence of Wisconsin. Casimir Ryniak, Herman Hawkins, Chuck Hackley, and Harold Humble made up the point-scoring relay team. 202 The 1946 outdoor track season had not started at the time that the Brown and Gold went to press. Coaches Towner Smith and Roy Weitz had a large squad of candidates ready for the nine-meet schedule which opened on April 26th at the Drake Relays. Few lettermen were on hand at the start of the outdoor season, but there was promising material to work wit h. Freshmen dominated the team, with a few pre-war lettermen on hand to start the season, and the Broncos ' coaches had a lot of work to do before the thinclads would be ready for the coming season. Elf Pedler Among the more promising candidates are Captain Eddie Taylor, the Hamtramck boy who led the indoor track team; Chuck Hackley, a fine half-miler from Kalamazoo Central, who was one of the few returning lettermen; Bill Pope, the former Texas Christian athlete, a sprinter and broadjumper; Johnny Zeilinski, Kalamazoo, and Bob Carter, Benton Harbor, both lettermen prior to their entry into service; and Elf Pedler, back on campus working on post-graduate work. Pedler was a star two-miler on the Bronco track teams in 1941 and 1942, and may be of great value to the cinder team this year. Post-graduates, freshmen, and all other athletes are still eligible for varsity teams under the wartime eligibility rules, thus enabling Pedler and Pope to be eligible for varsity competition. Herman Hawkins, Hackley, and Harold Humble all ran on the relay teams during the indoor season, and may form the nucleus of the Bronco relay squad for the outdoor competition. The manager - Bob Hagelshaw - was manager of the Bronco ' s frosh and varsity cross-country and track teams before he entered service, and he returned to school at the start of the winter semester and took over his old job. Bill Pope Nine meets - including four dual meets, two relay meets, the State Intercol- legiate meet, and the Central and National CoUegiates, are carded for the outdoor schedule. Marquette, Albion, Wayne, and Loyola, will be met in dual meets, and Western will enter the Drake and Elmhurst Relay meets. The Broncos will be hosts to the State Intercollegiate Meet, and will also com- pete in the Central CoUegiates at Milwau- kee, and the National CoUegiates at Min- neapolis in the season ' s finale. €. ewiLS Front row, left to right: Johnny Milroy, Kalamazoo Central; Woethington DeBoer, Kalamazoo Central; Arnold Brown, Detroit Northern; Jo ' .in Minarovlc, Muskegon Heights; Jim Serrin, Evanston, Illinois; and Don Worth, Kalamazoo Central.

Accus- tomed to having no experienced men turn out at the season ' s start during the war, the Bronco ' s genial net mentor would only smile at the team ' s prospects. Back from the Marines was Wally Stuckert of Milwaukee, one of the Broncos ' top-notch performers before the war, and close behind him in competition for the Number 1 spot was Ar- nold Brown of Detroit, another excellent competitor. Andy Moses, star at Dowagiac last year, and one of the top high school netters a year ago, is among the candidates, and so is Johnny Mil- roy, letterman from 1943, and Hal Retan, No. 1 on the 1945 team until his transfer by the Navy. Jim Serrin of Evanston, Illinois, was the only out-state candidate besides Stuckert. Kala- mazoo had Don Worth, also of Kalamazoo College, and Worthy DeBoer, among the aspirants to the netter ' s squad. Muskegon had Ray Postema from Muskegon High and Johnny Minarovic from the Heights, and Cliff Moulton of Dowagiac, and Bob Fitch of Three Rivers were on the team. A fourteen-match schedule faced the Bronco netters as the Brown and Gold opening with Grand Rapids Junior College at Kalamazoo. Four Big Ten teams - Michigan, Purdue, Indiana, and Northwestern, appear on the schedule, along with home-and-home series with Detroit, Michigan State, and Illinois Tech. Notre Dame, Way ne, and Central Michigan were scheduled for single matches. Qoll ig G Golf, a wartime casualty in 1944, was back on the Bronco sports schedule in 1945, and this spring the turnout more than warranted its place in the list of competitive athletics at Western. Coach Fred Huff found a dozen or more candidates for the four-man team, and prospects for a winning season look good even though only one letterman is out for the squad. Ray Lorenz of Hart, a pre-war letterman, was the only player with collegiate experience, but there were other candidates of note. Among these were Norm Stickney, former Kalamazoo Central star; Dick Hanno, a former State Class B champion while at State High; and Vol Bleech, another former Kalamazoo Central ace. The golfers had a full month of practice before the opening meet, scheduled with Detroit and Wayne at Detroit on May 4. The usual April rain seemed to be conspicuously absent, and the boys had plenty of opportunity to work out at Arcadia Brook. Coach Fred Huff was attempt- ing to add more meets to the schedule at the time that the Brown and Gold went to press, in- cluding possible meets with Marquette and Muskegon Junior College. The turnout for golf was similar to the turnout for all other Bronco teams this spring — one of the largest in recent years. With material abundant to choose a team from, the Broncos should be well represented this spring. 206 r :- ■ V ' - Front row, left to right: Coach Fred iluli; nay Lorenz, Hart; Ted Dolenqowski, HaniUuniCf;; BoL Cole, Traverse City; Bob Collins, Traverse City; Pete Galinet, Three Rivers.

Western ' s 1946 golf schedule was still shorter than the pre-war schedules, but six meets were carded for the linksmen as the Brown and Gold went to press. In the opener at Detroit on May 4, the Broncos will engage in simultaneous dual meets with Detroit and Wayne in a three- way affair. On May 11, Detroit will come to Kalamazoo for a return match, and on the 18th, Wayne will meet the golfers here. A home-and-home series with Illinois Tech fills out the schedule, the Techawks entertaining the Broncos at Chicago on May 24, and a return match to be played at Kalamazoo on May 28. i 207 JjasehaLL One of the largest squads to turn out for baseball in years greeted Coach Charley Maher in preparation for the 1946 baseball season. So many prospective diamond stars turned out, in fact, that a B team was formed under the direction of Coach Frank Noble, and a separate schedule arranged for them. A host of candidates appeared at the start of the spring semester, to join those who had already been working out in the gym since mid-winter. Nineteen games, including seven with teams from the Big Ten, faced the baseball team, and no candidate clinched a starting berth for the openers at Northwestern on April 12 and 13 without a stiff battle for his position. WESTERN 5; NORTHWESTERN 3 ... In the opening game at Evanston on April 12, the Broncos turned back the Wildcats of Northwestern, 5-3, although Western totalled only three hits for the afternoon. Northwestern errors and the breaks did the work for Western, and Ed Rossi, the Arkansas lefthander, was credited with the victory although Gordon Bowdell finished the game on the mound. Fred Stevens, the veteran first sacker, collected two of the Broncos ' safe blows, and Ken Stillwell connected for the other. WESTERN 9; NORTHWESTERN 6 ... On the following day, April 13, the Broncos showed that they could hit the ball when they had to as they clipped four Wildcat pitchers for eleven singles and a 9-6 victory. Tom Krupa led the parade in this game with three safe hits in six trips to the plate, with Walt Shy being credited with the win. Shy had followed Ernie Victor and Jack Klacking on the mound, and was in the game when the Broncos ' three-run rally in eighth inning clinched the ball game. Tied up at 6-6 going into the eighth inning, the Bron- cos broke loose for three runs with Oren Davis de livering the timely hit that sent in the clinching runs after Walt Young had batted in the run that put Western ahead. In the two-game series. Western showed little power at the plate on occasions, and yet col- lected for solid hits all over the lot on other occasions. At times the pitching was shaky, and the Bronco hurlers issued too many walks, but when the chips were down, the Broncos had what it takes in the pinches. With the smoothing out of some of the rough spots, the team showed great potentialities. Freddie Stevens Young at bat; Hill catching NO EXPERIENCED PITCHERS with the exception of Warren Red Biddle were on deck for the Broncos ' mound corps this spring. Biddle did not return to school until after the semester had started, and he was not in shape to pitch until after the season had started. Biddle ' s return gave the Broncos a flock of good southpaw pitchers, as Ed Rossi, Ernie Victor, Jim Post, and Tom Cummings, are all leftys. Jack Klacking, Walt Hansen, Gordon Bowdell, and Walt Shy ap- peared to be the best of the right handers. FOR CATCHERS, Coach Maher had Walt Young, Tom Hill, and Ned Stuits, with Young winning the starting position in the Northwestern series after a lot of competition from the other two candidates. Hill was first baseman here last spring, and was converted to a catcher this year. IN THE INFIELD, Fred Stevens, senior veteran, started in the Northwestern series at first, with John Cawood giving him lots of competition. At second, Harold Rookie Throop, letter- winner a year ago, and Texan Oren Davis bat tie it out for the starting nod, with Davis drawing the starting job at Northwestern. Dick Groggel of Kalamazoo started in the opening series at third base for the Broncos, but Ted Plaza of River Rouge and Don Bov en of Kalamazoo were close behind. At shortstop, Wayne Terwilliger of Charlotte started the first games, with Mel- vin Markowitz seeing action also. THREE EXPERIENCED OUTFIELDERS appear to be on the inside track to the starting positions in the gardens this spring, with a fourth candidate close behind. Tom Krupa, who collected three hits against Northwestern in the second ga me, is a veteran left-fielder, while Ivan Fleser, letterman from 1941, is in center field, and Ken Stillwell in right. All three of these men are seniors, while their nearest competitor is a sophomore, Joe Cooper. Fleser and Stillwell are both two-time letterwinners, while Krupa had three letters in baseball. There are other candidates who could alter the lineup, but at the start of the season with the Northwestern games, the varsity squad is pretty will set with these players in the spots listed, ted. 209 Victor, Post and Rossi Hill, Shiits, and Young. Seventeen games remained on the Broncos ' schedule following the doxible win over North- Western (5-3 on April 12, and 9-6 on April 13), with ten gomes scheduled for presentation at Kalamazoo and seven on the road.

When the football season started back in August, Navy trainees and civilians made up the gridiron squad, and then in October, the Navy moved out, and the civilians took over. It was nothing uncom.mon for a player to join the squad in mid season and play in the very next week ' s game, as some pre-war lettermen reported with only a few games left to play and then stepped right into the lineup. The same was true for basketball, as Louie Land and Johnny Cawood both joined the team in the middle of the season and then worked right into the lineup. All of Western ' s pre-war coaches returned during the year, and by April everything was pretty much back to normal. WESTERN ' S ATHLETICS don ' t consist of just the varsity games and the boys that play in them, nor does the interest lie solely in varsity competition. There ' s a lot more that goes to make up an athletic system, and without it, sports wouldn ' t be half the fun. Indoor football in the form of intramural basketball games saw the W Club team sweep to the championship over some good opposition. The night that the W Club rolled up a 105-35 score over the Inde- pendents was the big night. Then there was the night that the W Club played Dunham, and when it was all over, no one knew who had won. THE SODA BAR and all the gob sessions that took place there all added to the scene. Every Western game, and a good many more athletic events were won, lost and tied over a coke in the soda bar. There was a lot of talk about, too. High school regionals returned to Western ' s gym this winter, and Jake DeVries didn ' t stop talking for weeks about what Holland did to Benton Harbor. Even the Herald Editor, Bob Burgoyne, yelled in vain for his beloved Berrien Springs. SOME SPECIAL GAMES won ' t be easy to forget. The 66-0 win over Wooster at home- coming saw Western score with monotonous regularity, and the football win down at Val- paraiso, 26-6, was a happy occasion. When the radio brought the news that Western had whipped St. Johns in overtime, it sounded almost too good to be true. Those one-point games here with Marquette and Bowling Green were of the heart-failure variety, and the Camp Grant game wasn ' t far behind. And when the Broncos hit their peak against Valparaiso in beating them 75-59, the victory was even sweeter than the win at Valpo when the band and a huge crowd of Westernites went down to see the Broncos win, 54-43. All in all, it was a year that the boys will hash over for many months to come. More seasons will come and go, but they ' ll not exceed 1946 for color and interest. Noble and Dunhoiii at thp bench Kishpaugh turns out copy NOT EVERYONE who is a part of the athletic setup coaches or competes. Western would- n ' t get get very far without trainers, and Don Scott handles this department with efficiency. Scottie is on leave for the second semester to work on his master ' s degree this spring, but he ' ll be back. Then there ' s the towel room, where Ed Leak holds forth, and issues equipment with an eagle eye. Everything from towels to parkas go out from Ed ' s store of equipment, and rare is the towel that doesn ' t return. And when it comes to talking about ex-Western ath- letics, Ed ' s just the boy to see. THE FRONT OFFICE has its share of the work to do, too. Here the only feminine atmosphere invades the otherwise masculine air of the athletic department, as Mrs. Vanderberg, more commonly known as Glenadine, holds down the job of secretary to the department. Typing, mimeographing, and a thousand and one other miscellaneous jobs find their way into Glena- dine ' s hands. There ' s too much for one person to handle in the department, so Maurice (Suds) Sumney and his big black cigars are there to help. WRITING AND PHOTOGRAPHY has to be done if the students on the Hilltop are to keep up with what ' s news in the world of sports, so here the students themselves come in. Norm Williams handles most of the photography angle, and does a good job of it. Norm and his darkroom are an integral part of the campus by now, and the Brown and Gold owes a debt to him for a lot of the excellent action shots in the sports section. THE HERALD is Dick Kishpaugh ' s particular pride and joy, and here Dick and Jack Moss each week turn out the sports page. Moss, more often called Modoc from his days in State High, talks a good game of golf, and so he handles all the golf and tennis news that the Herald prints. Kishpaugh seems to have a mania for statistics and records, so on the few occasions when his mind leaves the world of sports, he ' d probably be thinking of statistics anyway. Moss has a particular affinity for the studios of the local radio station, while Dick is liable to be traveling anywhere in the state in quest of sports dope. THE FUTURE is the only unknown quantity in the athletic department. Talk of a new fieldhouse is a common subject in the office, and so is the possibility of the organization of a swimming team. Plans for extensive additions to the physical education curriculum are being formulated, and many improvements in many departments are on their way. The whole picture is a pretty rosy one, and optimism runs high down around the men ' s gym. It ' s the general feeling that there ' s a bright future ahead for Western athletics, and unless indication that are present in the spring of 1946 change radically, the future of the Brown and Gold in athletics should bring fame and glory to the Hilltop. 213 ( Joomen s 1 kijs c a OfssocLalL Right to left: First row: Alice Sprague, Beverly Keyes, Shirley Frederick, Rosemary Alaria, Genevieve Robinson, Gena Guidi Second row: Mae Anna Farrell, Shirley O ' Mara, Anne Potter, Chris Richmond, Doris Covert, Lee Welcher, Maxine Sprik, Marge Willems Third row: Frances Johnson, Jearme Vaughn, Judith James, Florence Leland, Jillonne Sabo, Dorothy Williams, Barbara Stephens How would you like to see an exciting color movie of the exacting but thrilling sport of field archery? Scenes of the north woods, frozen white lands where the deer lives, perilous canoe trips in icy, turbulent waters; the swift flight of an arrow; the hunted game finally trapped. Perhaps you enjoy a get-together of old friends and members; the shadowed Van Gogh room filled with tables set for dinner; tiny flames from the many tall cand- les making flowing colors of red and gold on the girls seated there; voices blended in song, some old, some new, some gay some reminiscent. Or how about a lively box social? Girls in cotton dresses bringing a delicious lunch for two packed brightly and tied with a huge soft ribbon; the call of the square dance, grand right and left, and promendade home, shouted about the laughing voices of the swinging dancers; then the auctioneer calling out briskly, Do I hear fifty? Who will make it fifty? ; and boys in knee-rolled pants and plaid shirts shouting, fifty! and bidding with round chips of shiny metal. i 214 And would y ou like to roll up your blankets, and in blue jeans and sweat shirt head for the yellow sands of Lake Michigan, or splash and yell in the cool blue water under a hot sun? Evening and then night merge the sea and the sky into one blackness; soft humming fills the dark air; the bonfire gives the only light, weirdly beautiful; burnt weiners and charred marshmallows fill hungry stomachs. Finally drowsy goodnights answer one another, and the moon comes out to keep watch with the stars. All these images and others become actualities in the course of a P. E. A. year. With cooperation, Miss Mary Bottje, Miss Crystal Worner, and every member of the association plan and carry out the fun through to a final spring breakfast for alums and all. fi ' ■ r:i s Left to right: First row: Ethel Parks, Doris Durecky, Mary Louise Hoebeke, Betty Ornowski, Lorraine Cone, Charlotte Kniese Second row: Fayette Paulson, Kathryn Rozeboom, Alice Seschgel, Maxine McKenzie, Marjorie Elsacer Third row: Virginia Nickon, Dorothy Cameron, Pauline Dennert, Lillian Felix, Juanita Overby, Muriel Hopkins 215 Q} ' 7 2m GfmLelics 217 The following pages in this book have been purchased by many of the merchants of Kalamazoo, who are tak- ing this means of acknowledging the patronage of Western students, and are actively supporting the college. They really have done their share in helping to make this book the success it is. Without them, a book of this quality and size would have been impossible.
