r WESTERN MICHIGAN COLLEGE KALAMAZOO, MICHIGAN RICHARD KISHPAUGH, Editor RICHARD EVANS, Business Manager i9 S B uuun a id QoM W de m, 19 8 Each fall more than three thousand of those who call Southwestern Michigan their home — and a sprinkling of those to whom Michigan is a new environment — trek to Western ' s hilltop in search of knowledge. From September until June they study, re- lax, learn, and apply. They find out what Emerson has to say about self-reliance; they find the unknowns of a chemical substance; they learn to write, act, sing, create, lecture, and to teach. They steel themselves against the icy January winds which sweep down Oakland Drive and they bask in the warm sunlight of a beautiful June afternoon. They thrill to a one-point basketball decision, and talk of the future on spring evenings when they gaze at the moon from the Ad Building steps . . . they are Western, 1948 . . .

Close to four thousand West- ernites go through this pro- cess . . . . . . and those who have gone before leave their mark in Western ' s history . . , Welte n StddxHied- .... Nearly 500 facul+y members, ad- ministration officers, and em- ployees of the school combine their efforts that Western might learn; more than t,500 different classes meet in the process of presenting these efforts . . . . . . and when Western has lis- tened, absorbed, and pondered, words are transformed into action in dozens of different types of proving grounds . , . . . . the finished product is evalu- ated; mistakes corrected, weak- nesses strengthened, and concepts formed . . . .... and A44 lU e6 JznOiAjJLedae ....

SANGREN It is a real privilege to introduce the 1948 volume ot the Brown and Gold. The book gives evidence of very careful planning and hard work by nnembers of the publi- cation staff. It is a worthy chronicle of the significant events and the personalities of the school year. The year has been a notable one. The introduction of several new courses, the addition of a number of well-trained faculty members, the use of additional class room facilities, and a more carefully selected student body have made possible a record of satisfactory achievement. The program in Distributive Education, the Aviation Hostess curriculum, and the beginnings of a study of a general education program for the College are testimony to the fact that we are alert to our responsibilities in the field of education. Before the year is over, some new construction will be complete. The administrative unit, the Faculty Apartments, the Cafeteria and lounge will soon be in operation. Progress is being made in the erection of Burnham Halls and the Classroom Building. Ground will soon be broken for the erection of a new and up-to- date music building. We are grateful for the student interest and participation in these programs, and our thanks go to the Brown and Gold staff for writing the advances of the year into the permanent record. PAUL V. SANGREN II DR. WYNAND WICHERS Now in his third year on Western ' s campus, Vice- President Dr. Wynand WIchers has played an innportant part in the growth which has taken place here since the close of the war. He has won a place in the hearts ct the students with his cooperation and interest in sludent affairs. JOHN C. HOEKJE Always busy, yet always help ful, Mr. John C. Hoekje is the man with whom the students have the closest contact in student affairs. As Dean of Admin- istration, he handles a multitude of details, yet he is always able to analyze and offer specific advice on the hundreds of different items which are handled through his office. LEONARD GERNANT To Mr. Leonard Gernant, Assistant Registrar, falls the task of supervising the records office, in which scholastic records and grades are recorded and per- manently entered on the school files. Along with his record office duties, Mr. Gernant assists the Dean of Administration with various jobs. ADMINISTRATION DR. ELMER WILDS A variety of activities are handled In the office of Dr. Elmer Wilds, director of the Graduate Division and the Summer Sessions. As Graduate Division director, Dr. Wilds en- courages students to continue with their edu- cation beyond the four-year stage. The ad- ministration of the various phases of planning for assemblies, special programs, and other campus features are also handled through his office. DR. GEORGE MILLIARD Whenever students, old or new, need coun- seling, the office of Dr. George Hllllard is always ready to help In planning programs. In explaining curricula requirements, and In general adjustment problems. All freshman students are counseled in this department, and assignment of upperclass counselors also takes place here. The 1948 Brown and Gold has been designed to present all phases of life af Western — from the time that the first rays of sunlight creep across the hilltop to the hour when quiet reigns over the campus. Throughout the seriousness of purpose which determines the actions of Western students there runs a vein of humor and the ability to take hard work with a smile. Into the 43rd annual edition of the Brown and Gold, we have attempted to inject this vein of humor, for the staff believes that the knack of working seriously — but with a smile — is a valuable possession.

There is a complefe file oi THE BROWN AND GOLD In the Office of the Alumni Secretary. The first Annual was in the fornn of an album with photographs pasted in — a real contrast to the modern way of engraving and printing. The 1906 volume contained 12 pages Including the cover. The cover consisted of the same paper stock as was used throughout. Volumes since have contained as many as 400 pages. An illustration is the edition of 1929 on the occasion of the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of Western Michigan College. Cover stock has varied from paper to burlap, to leather, to book cover. The prevailing size has been 8 ' 2 x I I . In 1931, the staff produced a volume 9 x 12 in size containing 388 pages. As Western ' s Annual has evolved from 12 pages to its present size, so equipment and methods of procedure in the Office of the Alumni Secretary have changed. Floor space has been doubled. Desks and files have been added, and as would be expected more personnel Is required. In the beginning three Kardex File Cabinets were installed. Each cabinet contained 22 trays and there were 55 entries in a tray. Today the same file has been expanded to accommodate 14,000 entries. The Kardex File represents a $2,000 value. The cost of an individual entry is not estimated. Changes of names, of addresses, and the addition of cumulative facts require constant attention. A file is a living thing and is of value as it is used. Added to this observation, as The Brown and Gold goes to press, is the announcement of the installa tion of Addressograph equipment which is to include a Graphotype, and addressograph and an all-steel cabinet for card Index plates. This mailing system will enable a modern, up-to-date method of communication to be carried on with the alumni which will be greatly appreciated. 71 DR. LOFTON V. BURGE 1894- 1948 The loss of Dr. Lofton V. Burge, for ten years the director of the campus training school and of the division of teacher education, left a gap in the ranks of Western ' s adnninistration which will be hard to fill. Dr. Burge first came to Western in the fall of 1938 as director of the training school, and when the administration was re-organized, he became head of the teacher education department. He was also the head of the placement bureau of the school. Through his work in all of these capacities, students who were entering the field of education came to know him, and to respect his enthusiasm and ability. His name will forever be remembered as representing the spirit and friendliness of Western ' s administration. 72 0 uj a4U 2 iti04iA THE WESTERN HERALD ■ For the tenth consecutive year the Western HERALD has continued under a system of student control both financially and editorially. Publication of the campus newspaper dates back to the fall of 1916. but it wasn ' t until 1938 that it was turned over into student hands. No form of censorship or control has been exercised since that year, and according to the Student Association ' s Constitution the editor-in-chief has been responsible to the Publication Board, comprised of faculty members and students, for hHERALD policies and editorial content. The vast number of students on the Hiiltop campus during 1947-48 found many heated Issues brought to the fore througli the HERALD ' S pages in its constant effort to serve the student body both as an organ of information and a mirror of student thought.

Sporting a New Look over previous volumes, this year ' s publication features a fresh page make-up and variety of pictures in its obligation to cover the campus news, mold student opinion, and preserve a historical record of the student life at Western Michigan College. Re-appointed after assuming the office in April, 1947, war veteran Ted Drabik increased circulation by over 500 copies during his 1947-48 tenure of the editorship. It was the first time in Western ' s history that the HERALD reached a student, faculty, and alumni circulation peak of 4,000 copies per week. Ray Wiersema handled the Business Manager ' s post and carried the responsibility of the hHERALD ' S advertising and finances. He was kept busy with budgets, ad layout, account records and publication bills. His competence and reliability relieved the editor of many a financial headache. The cooperation of Miss Blanche Draper, who supplied a steady source of news, and the splendid spirit and help of Mr. Lawrence Brink, printing d epartment instruc- tor, cannot be left unnoticed when paying tribute to Western ' s journalistic scene. Their constant effort and sincere interest on the HERALD ' s behalf deserve a stream of gratitude. 76 As news editors, Paul Watson and Shirley Manes conscientiously attended to the big job of aiding the editor in page make-up, story assignments, re-writes and copy edition. To them a unanimous vote of recognition and sincere appreciation cannot be vetoed. During the first semester Charlotte Adier was responsible for the feature page, and staff veteran Harry Contos filled the feature editor ' s position for the second semester. Under their guidance, page number two was made into an excellent sheet both in entertainment and current reading trends. Another hard-working staff member, Dick Huston spent many long hours in producing coverage of all Western athletic events in his capacity as sports editor. To him and to his staff a special note of thanks and congratulations is due. Sparking the pages with cartoons and special column heads, art editors Jim Barber and Angie Gust depicted campus life through their pens and ink during the past year of publication. Fran Lindsay and Norm Williams served capably as the official HERALD photographers to bring on-the-spot news, feature, and sports coverage. The task of circulation and mailing was supervised by Marge Bonfiglio and Wayne Burdick, respectively, who in their duties as the circulation managers, together with their staff, helped mail the HERALD throughout the country as well as to bring the publication in the hands of campus readers each Friday morning.

The Student Council, Western ' s student governing body, completed during the 1947-48 year one of Its most vigorous periods. Characterized with this was the increased Interest and support of the students which was evidenced by the attendance at the meetings of student visitors. Confronted at the beginning of the year with the vast problem of allocating the budget of over $17,000 to the various activities such as debate, music, and assemblies, and to long-range purposes such as the student emergency relief, savings, contingent, and special project funds, the Council rolled up Its sleeves and went to work. After several weeks of heated argumentation and referral back to the budget committee, a workable budget was approved. At the beginning of the second semester. President Ryan submitted a definite pro- gram of action, containing both short and long-range goals, which the Council approved and immediately inaugurated. The Council worked in close harmony with the administration and the student-faculty committees to bring about many changes and Improvements In student conditions, and In Increasing the efficiency of student organizations. 78 STUDENT COUNCIL In the realm of student services, the publicity manager compiled and printed the Bronco Book and the student-faculty directory and the Council, under the super- vision of the vice-president, sponsored the student dances. Moreover, it sponsored the Coronation Ball at which the Council President crowned the Homecoming queen, and It sponsored the annual Brown and Gold Fantasies. In commenting of the termination of a highly successful year. President Ryan stated: It has been a real pleasure to work with such an outstanding group of people. It has been a great satisfaction to see the council appointees in various jobs accomplish their difficult tasks so outstandingly. While not all of our goals were met, many were and all were in sight. We can rest assured that the past year has been one of service and progress for our student body and for our school. Marge Bowles.

Left to right, President Ryan, Queen Winifred Hubbard, and her court, consisting of Pat Benham, Mary DeLano, and Corinne Ha ' lam. Outstanding among the events presented by Council were the Coronation Ball the week before Homecoming, and the Brown and Gold Fantasies, which were presented during the first week of May. Publicity furthered by Council activities and by stories in the Herald were indispensable in making Hoe-Down Day, on October 17, a success. On that day, students and faculty alike forgot their usual attitudes, and dressed In whatever manner pleased their fancies. The result was a truly humorous mixture of hillbilly and old-fashioned outfits. The Fantasies included a cast of close to 50 students and all work on the production was done entirely by students. The songs were written by a capable crew of student musicians and the entire script was written by a student team. 80 BROWN AND GOLD In a year which saw Western ' s capacities again taxed to the limit, and which saw many strides made in the drive towards future successes, the Brown and Sold has attempted to present, in permanent form, the complex system of organizations and institutions which blended together to create the Western of 1948. Work on the Brown and Gold started long before the students returned to school in September, and when registration day had passed, much of the work had already been done. Operations swung into high gear shortly after the start of the school year, and the huge tasks of assembling hundreds of student pictures and countless Business Manager Dick Evans Editor Dick KIshpaugh Associate Editor Shirley Oster Staff Members Jerllee Denison, Mary Alice Cockerill, Becky Dragos, Gordon Gill. organization pictures, of collecting organizational Information, and of figuring finan- cial setups, slowly but surely were taken care of one at a time. Business Manager Dick Evans, with his staff of three salesmen, Ed Moorhead, Dick Rittenberg, and Cal Johnson, took care of the sale of advertisements, and although business trends during the year were not favorable, a sufficient amount of advertis- ing was sold. Evans handled the entire financial end of the yearbook in an excellent manner, and his efficient and accurate work led to close harmony between the busi- ness and editorial departments. Staff members Jerllee Denison, Gordon Gill, Mary Alice Cockerill, and Becky Dragos contributed many hours of their time in order that the mountainous job of indexing the book, and that the task of assembling the copy, might be done in time. Even vacation time was spent on the yearbook, as staff members kept right on working. Adver+ising Salesmen Ed Moorhead. Dicit Ritten- berg, Ca! Johnson. ,r . Ari Edl+ors Don Nagel, Dave Zeese. The artistic touch which provided the unusual in the book was done by art editors Don Nagel and Dave Zeese, whose interesting drawings and well-arranged division page lay- outs added to the completeness of the finished book. Many hours were spent by these two in their successful attempt to give each organizational page a different touch. Photography, the largest single item in the production of a yearbook, was capably handled by Norm Williams and Fran Lindsay, whose tireless efforts were responsible for the fine quality of the photographic work. All of the photo- graphs in the book, with the exception of the class pictures, were taken by these two, and despite crowded darkroom facilities, they never failed to deliver top-notch work. Special mention goes to Associate Editor Shirley Oster, whose work was invaluable throughout the year. Always ready to lend her assistance when there was work to be done in a hurry, she provided the efforts which were largely responsible for making the tough jobs seem less difficult. Editor Dick Kishpaugh, whose unlimited gratitude went to all members of the staff, attempted to present a yearbook which was representative of all phases of Western activity. He assembled the suggestions of staff members and evolved an annual with some new features, and some changes in style. All thoughts and efforts, however, had one goal — a truly representative and complete record of Western, 1948.

Primarily for art students, the club is open to all who have a sincere Interest In art and present an art or craft project to the club. This is a requirement for admission and Is evaluated according to the sincerity of effort expressed in the work. The group ' s intent is to broaden art appreciation and provide opportunities for social entertainment. In keeping with this Idea, the year ' s program has been exceptionally interesting. Activities began in the early fall with the Chat and Chew tea given yearly for alums at Homecoming. At a later date, formal initiation welcomed the largest mem- bership the club has yet known. Hallowe ' en was celebrated with the innovation of a costume ball. The Christmas party, with Mr. Kemper distributing gifts in the fantastic guise of a modern Santa, was traditionally successful. The new faculty club house was the meeting place for a lecture by Mr. Merrill on How to Look at a Painting. Other lecturers were Miss Morrison and Mr. Garneau. The y ear ' s activities closed with trips to the Chicago Art Institute, the Toledo Museum of Art, and the annual dinner. Officers for the first semester were: Don Nagel, President; Eleanor Long, Vice- President; Esther Hansen, Secretary; Bill Sneden, Treasurer; Marian Jensen, Publicity; Lois Patterson and Jean Hooper Ness, group leaders. New officers installed for the second semester were: Eleanor Long, President; Marilyn Palmer, Vice-President; David Zeese, Treasurer; and Charlotte Grant, Women ' s League representative. The sincere and friendly assistance of Miss Lydia Siedschlag, sponsor and Art Depart- ment head, contributed greatly to the club ' s success throughout the year. .84 Bacic Row; Warren BIddle, Richard Foster, Joan Arnold.

The purpose of the International Relations Club Is to ■foster a growing Interest in the relationship of the United States with other countries, thus enabling the members to understand current political and social events. This purpose was attained during the 1947-48 year by an enthusiastic group which endeavored, through talks and discus- sions on the United Nations and Its work, to clarify the part that the United States must play in International relations. Among the programs planned which helped these understandings was a Chinese program, which was presented by the three Chinese students, in cooperation with Chinese students from Kalamazoo College and from Nazareth College. This program presented material concerning the history and comtemporary conditions of Intellec- tual China. Another program presented France as that nation exists today, and covered French attempts at rehabilitation following the siege of war. This program, presented by Dr. Frances Noble, gave an Interesting insight Into nations attempting to create order from chaos. Dr. Noble had recently returned from a tour of France and other liberated countries. INTERNATIONAL RELAT IONS CLUB 100 The club worked with the Carnegie Foundation for International Peace, and received considerable literature and information from the Foundation concerning topics which the club covered. The highlight of the year for the club was the mid-western meeting of the Inter- national Relations Clubs of colleges in Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan. The meeting this year was held in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and was attended by many members of the local organization. Through all of these meetings and through the work that the club has done, the attempt to analyze current problems and to explain implications and results of currenl events has been foremost. Dr. Nancy Scott and Dr. Robert Friedmann, sponsors, have contributed greatly to the information and interest of the group.

The Occupational Therapy Club is made up of students who have come to Western from all parts of the United States and some foreign countries to take their Occu- pational Therapy training. This training is being given to an increasingly large number of students each year and still the supply of registered O.T. ' s does not begin to meet the demand. Even though the war is over, O.T. ' s are badly needed in all types of hospitals. Many alumni from all over the country returned last fall to help the director, Miss Marion R. Spear, celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Kalamazoo School of Occu- pational Therapy, the largest O.T. school in Michigan. Students from this school are sent to hospitals all over the country for practical training as part of the course. The annual O.T. Christmas sale featuring articles made by O.T. students was the main event of the year. Many interesting programs including a talk and movies on cancer, a tour of the new buildings with Miss Siedschlag, and reports from students on their affiliations were enjoyed by club members. The annual club picnic was held in the spring. The officers of the club for 1947 and 1948 were: Jane Cobb, President; Duane hloli- day, Vice-President; Cecelia Nyland, Corresponding Secretary; Annabelle Askew, Recording Secretary; Rebecca Collingwood, Publicity Secretary; Esther Nolte, Treas- urer; Joanne Ogden and Betty Steffee, program chairmen; Carol Apple, Barbara Hintz, and Natalie Holman, social chairmen.

The Players of Western Mich igan College, to quote the preamble of their constitu- tion, through study and presentation shall strive to increase the ability of the mem- bers 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. 10 PLAYERS CLUB Membership In Players Is gained through try-ou+s, and this year Interest was sufficient to conduct try-outs both semesters. Mary Cataneo acted as pledge mother through- out the year. For Homecoming, Players presented for their Alumni The Weather Vane Elopes, by Alice Riley, with Mary Cataneo, William Hatfield, Joyce Reed, and Joe Stockdale comprising the cast. The midwinter production was Arthur Wilmurt ' s English adaptation of Noah by Andre Obey. In this post-war Atomic Age the theme lines have a timely significance. Now we must learn everything all over . . . We ' ve got to learn how to live . . . We must learn to be happy. The others all died because they couldn ' t laugh. Other traditional events Included the Thursday afternoon teas, the Christmas party at Miss Laura Shaw ' s home, the cast banquet, the candle-light ceremony initiating pledges Into Players, and the Senior Players picnic at Miss Shaw ' s home. Officers for the year were: Thelma Morrison, President; Julia Smith, Vice-President in charge of programs; Thelma Lewerenz, Vice-President In charge of social affairs; Mary Cataneo, Secretary; William Hatfield, Treasurer; Joe Stockdale, publicity; and Jewel Tueling, Business Manager. Miss Laura Shaw is the club ' s advisor. Ill Act I, Scene I, Man: Get this . . . I ' m on what you call a mission. The head man says to me, Watch that old guy. He acts stupid but he knows ail the tricks. Everything that ' s hap- pened to us, he started them. Mamma: Oh, Noah, if they think that, that ' s terrible! hHam: Didn ' t it ever occur to you that it might be a good idea to feed the birds before you let them out? Father, Father, Father, it ' s gotten so I wonder if you haven ' t mixed up what you think are orders from Heaven with what seem like good ideas to you! In Noah, the Players again presented a play with a theme that was particularly timely. In the scene of 1948 we find the voices of men like Noah, warning man of the certain doom to follow unless people of different race, creed and ideology learn to live together in One World. But we hear also the propaganda of those who refuse to take the long view, who in their narrow and ruthless self-aggrandizement look only at the present. Noah says: You ' ve taken me from my garden and cast me on a rock, alone, with a dozen ways of dying. But I ' m not complaining . . . that ' ll be all right . . . you ' ll see. I ' ll find a way out. We, too, must find our way out.

SOCIOLOGY FORUM 122 GAMfAA DELT A The local chapter of Gamma Delta, the international association of Lutheran students, Is an example of an organization which came Into being as a result of a felt need. Five years ago, a group of Lutheran students wanting an organization designed to further Christian knowledge and to serve as a basis for social activity, met together and planned for the future. Shortly after Its organization in 1943, the new society became associated with the International organization, and the local chapter was named Alpha PsI. Since 1945, Alpha PsI ' s program has been aided by the work of three theological students — Donald Deffner, Clifford Brueggmann, and Edward Wessling. Each one of these men has successfully served a year of ministerial internship In Kalamazoo, working largely among Lutheran students at Western. Ninety members and friends attended the fall initiation banquet, one of the society ' s traditional events. The ceremony was repeated again in March at the spring Initiation. During the first semester the society ' s program was carried on under the leadership of Keith Dinda, Ken Lyies, Marjorle Franck, Evelyn Anderson, and Dave Olson. Officers were elected in January as follows: Dick Groggel, President; Peter Jeup, Vice-President; Dorothy Brodbeck, Secretary; and Carol Stengel, Treasurer.

It aims to help Its members acquire a religious balance adequate to face the life problems that confront students and to help them apply their religious beliefs to community and world problems. Y girls met every other week for programs having to do with education, current problems, service projects, and entertainment. Two of the Im portant events of the year were the Freshman Breakfast in the fall and the annual Spring Banquet. The Freshman Breakfast took place In the Davis Room on the first Sunday morning of the school year. On this occasion all members took part in welcoming the new women students. The Spring Banquet was a formal affair based upon the theme Spring Fiesta. The most Important project of the year was the drive for candles for Europe. This drive was carried on by sponsoring a student dance In April. An old used candle was required as part of the admission for the Flicker Fling. The members after- ward melted the candles and remolded them. These were then sent to the Y.W.C.A. World Emergency Fund to be forwarded to areas in Europe where they were most urgently needed. Donna Wells served as Y.W.C.A. president throughout the year. The other officers were: Carol Stengel, Vice-President; Dorothy WIederhold, Secretary; and Ruth Rauth, Treasurer.

MEN ' S DEB AT E 132 WOMEN ' S DEBATE The Women ' s Debate squad had a very successful and active season in both debate and discussion in the 1947-48 school year. The discussion question for the year was What should be done to insure peaceful relations among the nations of the world? while the debate proposition paralleled the proposition used by the men ' s debate squad. In October, five members of the team participated in the regional Tau Kappa Alpha Discussion and Congress at Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana. Barbara Lett won honors as one of the outstanding students in the competition. The Michigan discussion tournament was held at Western in December, and the squad entered the National T.K.A. Discussion and Congress held at the University of Indiana, Bloomington, Indiana, in April. Instead of the usual spring vacation trip, team members went to Philadelphia In July to see the presidential convention.

Completely outfitted v ith new overcoats last fall, the band presented a snappy appearance on cold days. 136 BAND Two pep bands, created by dividing the marching band, performed at many of the basketball games. A dinner was given for the band by the Athletic Board in apprecia- tion for its outstanding performances at athletic contests during the year. The band ' s annual winter concert was given for the first time in the Central High School auditorium before a large and enthusiastic audience. Mr. Owen Berger of the Music faculty was piano soloist. Under the capable direction of Mr. Meretta, the band has made great progress in the field of concert music. There are ninety players in the concert band. Within the band there are numerous ensembles which have played in high schools in nearby cities and over the radio. The complete concert band presented concerts at three high schools in Grand Rapids and at Mattawan High School, and made three radio broadcasts. The band president was Ralph Wells.

At the Michigan Education Association conference on campus, the group presented the Deems Taylor musical adaptation of Alfred Noyes ' poem The Highwayman . Other performances were given at the Women ' s League Chocolate and at the annual Spring Concert. The Glee Club joined with other vocal groups to present the Beethoven Ninth Symphony In conjunction with the Kalamazoo Symphony Orches- tra. Social events for the year included the initiation dinner in the fall and a Christmas party which followed caroling. Officers for Women ' s Glee Club were: Carol Elllnger, President; Donna Wells, Vice- President; Phyllis Malarney, Secretary; Lois Williams, Treasurer; Roselle Havens, Publicity director; and Edna Smith, Women ' s League representative. Mrs. Dorothea Sage Snyder is director of the group. WOMEN ' S GLEE CLUB 143 One of the newest organizations on campus is Alpha Mu Omega, the honorary music fraternity, which was first organized here in the fall of 1946. Alpha Mu received its formal charter from the school in April of 1947, and im- mediately started work toward becoming affiliated with Phi Mu Alpha (Sinfonia), the national music fraternity. In order to facilitate this move, a complete brochure was prepared giving a complete description of the entire music department and its many activities, the personnel of the current Alpha Mu group, and a general description of the college. Twenty-eight pages in size, the booklet was evidence enough of the new fraternity ' s interest in joining the national group, and of the hours of work put in by the editor, Russ Fisher. Much of the organization ' s time, however, was spent in working with campus music organizations on various musical projects, so that the process of national affiliation was not completed when the year was ended. The sincere and wholehearted cooperation of the music department has been in- strumental in furthering the aims of the organization. Faculty sponsors, most of whom are Sinfonians themselves, are Dr. Elwyn Carter, Mr. Sam Adams, Mr. Elmer Beloof, Mr. Leonard Meretta, and Mr. Julius Stulberg. The officers for the year were: Vernon Moerdyk, President; William Harrington, Vice-President; Edwin Leggett, Secretary; and Clarence Williams, Treasurer.

W CLUB The W Club, Western ' s organization of varsity letterwinners, participated in numerous projects in the 1947-48 school year. Added to the usual hilarious initiations which the club sponsors were two serious projects. One was the drive to raise money for the benefit of Ed Leak, a familiar figure in Western ' s sports locker rooms. Custodian of equipment and a real pal to all the athletes, Ed was the recipient of a large sum of money collected by the club to help defray some necessary medical expenses. The other project was the sale of programs at all home basketball games, the profit from these sales being equally divided between the club ' s scholarship fund and the Fieldhouse fund.

Some close harmony by a gang of Soda Bar loungers. It ' s said that if a person should stand at Times Square for a long enough time, that he would eventually see most of the world pass by his post — but if one relaxes in Western ' s Walwood Union for just one afternoon, most of Southwestern Michigan will find its way through the Union Building doors. Here four committee rooms, the cafeteria, the ever-busy soda bar, and beautiful Walwood Ballroom house the major part of Western ' s social activities. Then there ' s the Davis Room — strictly female — and the Men ' s Union, wherein no feminine atmosphere can penetrate to distract the pool shark or the card fiend. Mr. C. B. MacDonald ' s position as manager of the Union Building includes super- vision over the rest of the dormitory buildings and housing units. Mr. Duane Plough, better known as Dewey , is his assistant, and is manager of the Soda Bar.

The first activity of the year was the welcoming of freshmen at the annual men ' s smoker. The new students were the guests at this informal affair which gave them a chance to meet the upperclassmen, the faculty, and members of their own class. Dean Ray Pellett ' s fine motion pictures of past Western football games put the finishing touches on the evening, and Union membership pins were distributed to those present. The newly-organized Men ' s Union dance band was well received at the open houses, which were held alternate Thursday afternoons in the ballroom. An entertaining evening of skillful pool and billiards playing was provided by Jimmy Caras, the world champion in many pool events, who performed before an enthu- siastic audience of Western men. IM Six-ball in the side pocket. Two Men ' s Union members enjoying a pool game at one of the tables in the Union game room. The highlights of the year came in the spring when the annual Cotillion Ball was held, and when the Men ' s Union Key was awarded to the outstanding senior man. Throughout the year, the Union game and reading rooms were constantly available for relaxation and fun. The latest popular magazines were kept in stock, and the Union was again a place where Western ' s men could relax without having to worry about feminine interference.

Western ' s 1947 Homecoming -found the campus still crowded from the influx of veterans, but more like the Western of pre-war days than it had been, when the old grads had gathered to see what changes had been made on the hilltop. Mr. Harry Hefner of the Art Department was general chairman of the event, which got off to a real start on Friday, October 17, when the students and faculty alike relaxed to enjoy Hoe-Down Day . On that day, the usual manner of clothes became the unusual, and costumes ranging from hillbilly rags to gay nineties bustles made their appearance. The huge parade on Friday night was a great success, as the weatherman cooperated with perfect evening weather. The largest collection of floats in the history of the event gave Kalamazoo an unforgettable show, with the climax of the evening being the annual bonfire and pep rally. On Saturday evening, the celebrants closed the festivities with two homecoming dances, one at the gym for the student body, and another at the Ballroom for the alumni. The touch that made the weekend a complete success was furnished Saturday afternoon when the Bronco football team trimmed Iowa Teachers by a 14-0 score. HOMECOMING 156 Western ' s s+uden+s and facul+y dressed for the Hoe- Down Day, on the day preceding Homecoming Day itself. Perfect weather, the largest parade in history, and concoctions guaranteed to spell doom for the Iowa invaders featured the Friday night festivities.

Tom Fulton Jim Barber Ken Klstner Joan Carrigan The 1948 Brown and Gold Fantasies was presented on May 6 and 7 before packed houses in Central High auditorium. A nucleus of talent from the 1947 production, in addition to a fine group of newcomers, made the 1948 show a decided success. Jim Barber was director and Tom Fulton was in charge of musical arrangements. All of the script and all of the songs were written and arranged by Western students.

Figures of witches, who were to cast their spell of Black Magic for the evening, greeted the couples as they entered the den. Lee Outley of Spindler and Lois Grenell of Walwood, in charge of the affair, also saw to it that Aladdin and his magic lamp were on hand to add to the atmosphere. A figure beckons a couple to en+er the den of Black Magic. 187 I iiiii i Close to 300 men called Vandercook their home for the 1947-48 school year, and there was never a dull moment in the lives of the members of the seven halls. Highlight of the social year, of course, was the annual Tepee Tango, which was held this year on January 1 0th. Bob Carlson and Bob Darrah were in charge of the big event, at which over 250 couples enjoyed the music of Bobby Davidson and his orchestra. Athletic teams from the various hall entered in the different intramural leagues, with Grosser Hall winning the coveted basketball title. Grosser was eliminated in the all- school tournament, however. Bob Kauffman served as athletic officer for the entire dorm, working in cooperation with the intramural department and the various hall representatives.

All matters pertaining to intercollegiate athletics at Western are in the hands of the Athletic Board, which makes the final decisions on all issues in this department. Six members of the board are named ex-officio, or because of the offices which they hold, and three members are appointed. The ex-officio members are the Dean of Administration, the Director and Associate Director of Athletics, the sports editor of the Herald, the president of the W Club, and the Student Council president. Chairman of the Board is Dean of Administration John C. Hoekje, who completed his twenty-eighth year in this capacity last winter. The Athletic Department is represented by Director of Athletics Judson Hymes and Associate Director Mitchell Gary, while Mr. Cornelius MacDonald, Union Building Manager, is the secretary. Dr. William Berry of the Geography Department and Mr. Charles Smith of the English Department complete the faculty representation. The three student members of the board this year were Emerson Grossman, who was president of the W Club; Dick Huston, sports editor of the Herald; and Jack Ryan, who was president of the Student Council. ATHLETIC BOARD 193 Chdirmdn o A+hletic Board John C. Hoekje There is a division of the duties of the Athletic Board and of the Athletic Department. While the Athletic Department Is in charge of all activities other than intercollegiate sports, the board is solely responsible for the intercollegiate details. Departments handled by the Department of Athletics Include the physical education major and minor curriculum and Intramural activity. All schedules and names of prospective players must pass through the hands of the board before being given publicity. This is done In order that events which are not positively contracted will not be announced while there Is still a possibility of change, and so that Ineligible players will not be publicized as being team members. ATHLETIC BOARD 194 DIrec+or of Athletics Judson A. Hyames Associate Director Mitchell Gary Judson A. Hyames, former baseball coach at Western, has finished his eleventh year as Director of Athletics of Western Michigan College. A nationally known figure in the collegiate baseball world, Mr. Hyames has guided Western athletics throughout the period of their largest growth. The Athletic De- partment has grown in the last few years to the status of now being one of the finest systems of its kind in the nation. Mitchell (Mike) Gary, former head football coach, has been Associate Director since his return from Naval service two years ago. He coached Western to an unbeaten, untied season in 1941, and then left for his military assignment. When he returned, he was named Associate Director in view of the increased complexity of the task of running the Athletic Department. ATHLETIC DEPART MENT 195 Coach Ray Eliot of the University of Illinois addressing the 1947 football banquet. A new era of Western a+hle+lcs started during the 1947-48 school year when the Bronco teams opened competition in the Mid-American Conference. First founded in 1946, a re-organization of the group in the summer of 1947 found six representative schools joining together to form a conference which should rate as a powerful one in intercollegiate circles. In addition to Western Michigan, the other members of the conference are Butler University of Indianapolis; Ohio University of Athens, Ohio; Western Reserve Univer- sity of Cleveland; Miami University of Oxford, Ohio; and the University of Cincinnati. First competition for the Broncos took place in the fall of 1947 when the cross-country team participated in the conference meet, but there was no football activity on Western ' s par t during the 1947 season. Football schedule commitments are made long in advance, and it was not possible to make any changes for that season. How- ever, in 1948, the Bronco footballers will meet every conference foe with the excep- tion of Cincinnati. Some conference teams were met in the 1947-48 basketball season, but the spring sports season of 1948 saw the loop swing into high. Full competition and champion- ships were provided in track, baseball, golf, and tennis.

XAVIER 19 — WESTERN A powerful Xavier University team, stymied for one quarter of the game, took to the air in the final three periods to clip out a 19-0 victory over the Broncos in the season ' s opener at Crosley Field, Cincinnati. The only night game of the season for Western sav the Broncos drive deep into Musketeer territory three time in the first period, only to have the aerial attack fail and the drive end. In the second quarter, the Musketeers tallied as Bob McQuade tossed a 30-yard scoring pass to Jim DeFranco. Midway in the third period, the Musketeers again hit paydirt, this time climaxing a 40-yard drive with a 29-yard payoff pass from McQuade to Bob Conway. Again in the final period, McQuade again passed to a touchdown, this one a five-yard bullet pass to Neil Hardy. Too many pass interceptions cost the Broncos the game, as interceptions had stopped Western drives and had contributed to the start of two of Xavier ' s drives. 200 WESTERN 14 — WASHINGTON 6 Western broke into the win column in the second game of the season by turning back a good Washington of St. Louis team, 14-6. Mixing an aerial attack with a strong running game, the Broncos showed tremendous improvement over the offense which had failed to click against Xavier the previous week. Washington moved to the Western 22 early in the second period, but at that point the Bronco line stiffened and held. Before Washington could set up a defense, Nick Milosevich tossed a 66-yard pass to Carl Schiller, and the ball was on Washington ' s 22. Don Groggel added five to the 17, and another Milosevich-Schiller pass hit paydirt. Jim Marks added the extra point. In the third period, Milosevich ' s 17-yard pass to Bob Cartwright to the Bear six-yard line set up another score. Art Gillespie punched across from the two on the third attempt. Washington scored in the final period on Charles Eberle ' s four-yard plunge. WESTERN 20 — CENTRAL MICHIGAN 12 in the traditional battle with Central ' s Chippewas, the Broncos rolled up enough yardage with a powerful ground attack to trim the hosts, 20-12. Al Micatrotto ' s recovery of a Central fumble on the Chip 22 started the fireworks. Al Bush made the final five yards a few minutes later, and Mai Pearson booted the extra point. In the second period, Nick Milosevich hit Carl Schiller with an eight-yard touchdown pass, and Central came back to score on Don Kushmaul ' s four-yard plunge just before the half ended. Western upped the total to 20-6 with a 67-yard drive in the third period, Art Gillespie going the final three yards to score. The fine passing of Tony Pabalis Kept Central in the game, and shortly before the end of the contest, Pabalis hit Ed Schuknecht with a 3 I -yard scoring pass, making the final count 20-12.

This was Gale Kisinger ' s day, for the redhead sparked a first period drive to the initial touchdown and then tallied the second score himself on a 68-yard run. A forward- lateral, from Nick Milosevich to Don Boven to Carl Schiller gained the last 27 yards in the first-period drive, and Jim Marks added the extra point to make the count 7-0. In the third quarter, Kisinger clinched the game for the Broncos with a 68-yard off tackle run, and again Marks added the extra point to make the final count 14-0. In the final period. Western traveled all the way to the Iowa two-yard line, but there Iowa held for downs. 202 BUTLER 21 — WESTERN 20 Butler ' s Bulldogs, avenging a defeat at the hands of the Broncos which had spoiled a perfect season the year before, came from behind to edge out a 21-20 victory over the Broncos in a tight game at Butler Bowl in Indianapolis. A Nick Milosevich-Carl Schiller pass started the scoring for Western in the initial period, but a 70-yard pass, Henry Smock to Orville Williams, knotted the count. Ray McZemk added the point, and Butler led 7-6. A 55-yard run by Gale Kislnger and Jim Marks ' conversion gave Western a 13-7 lead, but Dick Bennett ' s 49-yard pass to Williams and McZemk ' s conversion made It 14-13, Butler. Art Gillespie rambled 90 yards with the ensuing kickoff, and Marks converted, but Bennett tallied for Butler with minutes left, and McZemk again converted to make the final count 21-20. WESTERN 38 — WESTERN KENTUCKY Western ' s fourth win against two losses came in the form of a 38-0 walkaway over Western Kentucky, as Art Gillespie, Carl Schiller, and Jim Marks each scored twice. Gillespie scored from one yard out to give Western a 6-0 halftime lead, and the third period saw Gillespie score again on a 25-yard run. Marks added the point to make It 13-0. Then two Milosevlch to Schiller passes tallied, one good for I I yards, and the other for 24. In the final period. Western scored two more, as Marks went over from the four and from the II -yard lines. Marks made the extra point after his first touchdown, and the final six points made the count 38-0 when the game ended. Al Bush returning the opening kickoff against Western Kentucky.

Lloyd Hartman scoring Western ' s second touchdown against Illinois, ILLINOIS 60 — WESTERN 14 Western had one consolafion in remembering the game against Illinois — the Broncos scored as many points against the lllini as the championship Michigan team did the previous week. Against Michigan, however, the lllini had only tallied seven points, while eight different backs tallied nine touchdowns against Western. Art Dufelmeier scored on a 60-yard run. Jack Pierce went 70 yards to another score, and Dwight Eddleman rambled 92 yards on another occasion. On Eddleman ' s run, Chuck Schoolmaster of Western suffered a broken leg and was lost for the remainder of the season. Western ' s two touchdowns both came as a result of good drives. Bob Cartwright punted out of bounds on the lllini two-inch line In the second period, and Western scored shortly thereafter when Nick Milosevich ended a 3 I -yard drive with a one-foot plunge. In the final period, Lloyd Hartman went over from the two-yard line, and Jim Marks added his second conversion to make the score 60-14. 204 WESTERN 12 — BELOIT Two third-period touchdowns in the rain and mud of Waldo Stadium gave Western a 12-0 victory over Beloit College in the final home game of the season. Held back by the inclement weather, the Broncos tallied twice on plunges by Jim Marks to whip the Blue Devils. Despite the bad weather, a crowd of two thousand staunch rooters braved the com- bination rain, snow, and sleet to watch the Broncos celebrate Ed Leak day with a victory. A short Beloit punt gave the Broncos the ball on Beloit ' s 29 early in the third period and a few plays later Marks went the last yard for the touchdown. Beloit fumbled the slippery pigskin on the following kickoff, and A! Bush recovered on the Beloit 23. Three plays later Marks hit paydirt from the three-yard marker, and that was the game. OKLAHOMA CITY 35 WESTERN 7 Oklahoma City University put a damper on the Broncos ' hopes of finishing the season with a victory on Thanksgiving Day when the Chiefs rolled up a 35-7 victory over the invaders from Western in a game at Oklahoma City ' s stadium. The Oklahomans tallied twice in the initial period, with Wendell Hambrick and Carl Allen plunging for scores. Frank Bruno ' s two conversions upped the count 14-0. Allen tallied again in the third period to make the score 21-0 at half-time.

Late in the third period, Ben Pious went over from the two for Grand Rapids ' second tally, and five minutes later, Jim Brown raced 36 yards to the final touchdown. Norm Harris ' passing and Dick Snow ' s punting featured the freshman team ' s exhibi- tion. WESTERN FROSH 26; MICHIGAN STATE JV 21 The frosh closed the season with a highly-prized win over Michigan State ' s Bee team, an outfit which had previously beaten the Notre Dame and the Michigan Bees.

Captain Herb Lewis, of South Bend, Indiana; Morris Miller, of Milan; and Bob Stout, of Kalamazoo were the award winners. The freshman harriers fared more successfully than the varsity, as the yearlings made a clean sweep of their two meets for a perfect season record. In a 15-49 victory over Jackson Junior College, the frosh took the first five places, with George Howe, Bill Golden, Bill Alman, Jim Smith, and Ralph Richardson compiling the perfect record. Against Albion ' s B runners, they repeated the feat, winning 15-40. Howe won first again, followed by Golden, Richardson, Smith , and Alman.

Western held only a 27-21 halftime margin, but a rally led by Mel VanDis, Bernie Compton, and Don Boven kept the Broncos going as they outscored Calvin 37-16 in the second stanza. Don Boven led the totals with 20 points, with VanDis seconding him with 13 tallies. LONG ISLAND 46 — WESTERN 44 There ' s a sports axiom that says you can ' t win them all, and after four years of New York victories, the Broncos were beaten by Long Island, 46-44, in a real thriller. Long Island led most of the way, holding a 29-24 halftime lead, but Western led once in the final period. Bob Fitch ' s bucket tied it at 44-44, but Eddie Sard ' s long tom with 25 seconds left did the trick. Bassett Brown scored 14 points for the Broncos, with Don Boven and Bob Fitch each adding nine to the total.

The Wolves hit fronn all angles to roll to a 37-19 halftime edge, with Capt. Bob Harrison ending up with 16 points. The Broncos played the champions on even ternns the second half, with Bassett Brown scoring 12 points and Don Boven 10 for Western. TOLEDO 68 — WESTERN 49 Toledo ' s Rockets, paced by a pair of real stars in Dal Zuber and Charlie Harmon, took a 68-49 triumph over Western in a contest at Toledo. The two Rocket aces led their mates to a 43-21 intermission margin, and then Western settled down. Zuber scored 26 points for Toledo, and Harmon had 22. Western was led by Don Boven with 14, with Mel VanDis adding I I points. WESTERN 43 — CREIGHTON 41 Bob Smith, though he didn ' t score, was the hero of the 43-4! triumph over Creigh- ton on New Year ' s Eve. Western trailed the Bluejays 27-24 at the half, and didn ' t catch up until the final minute. Then Smith came into the game and passed to Mel VanDis for the tying basket and to Bassett Brown for the winning tally with only 12 seconds left. Brown topped Western ' s scorers in the unusually low-point game, totaling I I points. Ray Postema and Don Boven each contributed eight tallies to add to the attack. WESTERN 57 — UTAH 56 Utah ' s defending national champions were the victims of a 57-56 loss to the Broncos as Western beat the perennial national powerhouse for the second time in as many attempts. Utah led by a 30-28 count at the half, with Ail-American Vern Gardner doing some fine work. Bassett Brown and Mel VanDis with 14, Don Boven with 13, and Don Groggel with 10 led Western to a 57-52 year, before Utah tallied twice to creep within one point. An attempt by Gardner to tally the winning points circled the hoop, and the final gun sounded with Western the winner in a great contest. Western ' s early-season lineup: Wayne Terwiliiger, Erwin Fitzgerald, Don Boven, Bernie Compton, and Basse+t Brown. An injury to Fitigerald ended his playing career at mldseason. . . J « f at.- NORTHWESTERN 63 — WESTERN 46 Western sped to a 13-3 lead over North- western ' s Wildcats, and then proceeded to fall apart and lose by a 63-46 score. With Bernie Connpton and Don Boven leading the way, the Broncos shot out in front, but the Wildcats were cool enough not to become rattled. Bill Sticklin led a Northwestern rally that brought a 27-22 halftime lead, and the Wildcats were on their way. Bassett Brown and Mel VanDis each had 10 points, with Don Boven adding nine to head the Bronco attack. VanDis scores aqalnsi Manchester. WESTERN 69 — LOYOLA 67 The game of all games saw Western invade Loyola ' s Alumni Gym and come out on the long end of a triple overtime 69-67 victory. Don Boven ' s fres throw with five seconds left knotted the count at 52-52 and the game went into overtime. The first thriller of an extra period ended 57-57, and the second upped the count to 62 apiece. Then in the third overtime, Boven got a bucket and a free throw, and Bernie Compton and Bob Fitch tallied baskets, enough to keep the Chicagoans from again knotting the score. Boven had 21 points, Mel VanDis 15, and Bassett Brown II to lead the Broncos to their well-earned triumph. WESTERN 72 — MANCHESTER 56 After a slow first half which saw Manchester hang on to a 33-31 lead over Western, the Broncos found their bearings and marched to a 72-56 victory over the stubborn Indiana opponents. With only 15 minutes left, Manchester still led 38-37, but Don Boven led a rally that brought the Broncos a safe lead. Boven ended the contest with 21 points on six field goals and nine charity tosses. Bassett Brown seconded him with 13 markers. The win was Western ' s seventh in eleven starts for the season, and the rather dim early-season prospects looked better following the recent successes. WESTERN 71 — VALPARAISO 60 The first of the two grudge battles with Valparaiso saw the Broncos roll up a 71-60 victory in the first contest of a three-game Indiana trip. Western jumped to a 37-29 lead at the half and went on to stay out in front all the way through the game. Valpo cut the margin to six points early in the second half, but that was as close as the Crusaders came. Bassett Brown was the star for Western, as he rolled in 26 points on I I field goals and four free throws. Don Boven scored 23 points to rate close behind Brown as the Broncos recorded their eighth win of the season. 216 BALL STATE 49 — WESTERN 41 Moving out from a 23-23 hal-f+Ime deadlock, Ball State pulled out in the second half to a 49-41 victory over the Broncos in a contest at Muncie. With Don Boven and Charlie Brown stopped cold, the Broncos nevertheless battled to a one-point deficit, 33-32, but Ball State wasn ' t to be stopped. Wayne Terwilliger ' s eight points topped Western, with Boven following with seven. INDIANA STATE 65 — WESTERN 38 Indiana State ' s powerful Sycamores rolled to another victory over the Broncos with a 65-38 triumph in the last game of the Indiana invasion. With Duane Kleuh hitting from all angles, the Sycamores moved out to a 25-19 lead at the half, and then outscored the Broncos 40-19 in the second stanza. Co-Captains Mel VanDis and Don Boven accounted for 2 7 points, VanDis getting I I and Boven 16 markers. MIAMI 64 — WESTERN 47 The Broncos went tumbling to their seventh loss of the season by losing to Miami, 64-47, In a Mid-American Conference game at Oxford, Ohio. Western held the Redskins to a 13-13 tie for part of the first half, but the home team built up a 33-27 halftime lead. Charlie Brown scored 13 points for Western, followed by Mel VanDis with ten points. The loss gave Western a record of eight wins and seven losses as the schedule passed the two-thirds mark. Boven +al(Ing a Valpo rebound- 1: CINCINNATI 61 WESTERN 59 The Broncos led a favored Cincinnati team for most of the game, and then faltered as the Bearcats came out on the long end of a 61-59 thriller before a capacity crowd at the Bronco gym. Western led 34-31 at halftime, but with Bill Westerfield rolling in the points, the Bearcats finally edged in front, 38-37, and were never headed thereafter. With two minutes left, the Broncos narrowed a 61-53 lead down to two points, but Cincinnati pulled a successful stall. Wester- field totaled 25 points, while the Broncos were led by Charlie Brown with 17 and Wayne Terwilliger with 12 points. 217 Boven about +o take a spill. Noble goes after a rebound. WESTERN 56 — INDIANA STATE 55 Ray Postema had his night as he dropped in a basket with ten seconds left to pre- sent Western with a 56-55 victory over Indiana State in another thriller at Western ' s gym. The first win in history over the Sycamores came the hard way, as Western came from behind a 26-23 halftlme deficit. Don Boven scored 25 points, but It was Postema ' s turn to take a pass from Charlie Brown for the shot that won the contest as time ran out. WESTERN 59 — NORTHERN ILLINOIS 57 Swift Noble rehurned to Western In impressive style against Northern Illinois as he pumped In two goals In the final minute to lick the Northerners, 59-57. A surprisingly strong Huskle team knotted the count a 26-26 at the intermission, and then pro- ceeded to lead most of the second half. Noble ' s two buckets broke a 55-55 tie, and a final Illinois basket left the margin at two points. Charlie Brown had 14 points, and Noble was close behind with 13 points. BELOIT 86 — WESTERN 53 Belolt ' s Blue Devils lived up to their reputation as one of the finest small college teams In the nation with an 86-53 victory over the Broncos in a game In the Beloit Fieldhouse. With the great Johnny Orr scoring 22 points, the Blue Devils scored 52 points in the second half alone. Swift Noble topped the Western scoring with 14 points. 218 WESTERN 71 — MIAMI 48 The Broncos surprised everyone with a 71-48 victory over Miami for the first win of the year over a MId-Annerican Conference team. A happy home crowd saw the Broncos roll to a 31-19 halftime lead, and then keep right on go- ing to a lopsided victory. Miami crawled to within four points — 38-34 — In the second half, but the Broncos pumped in 13 points while the Redskins were getting a free throw, and the issue was decided. Swift Noble led with 19 points, while Boven had 16 markers. WESTERN 58 — VALPARAISO 57 Swift Noble was again the hero as he slipped in a basket with eight seconds left to give the Broncos a 58-57 vic- tory over Valparaiso. Western led 30-18 at the half, but Valpo didn ' t give up. Valpo went ahead 56-54 with two minutes left, and Noble tied it up. A Valpo free throw apparently clinched the game, but Noble stole the ball with eight seconds left and cut loose for the winning points. Don Boven topped the Broncos with 18, with Noble scoring 14 and Wayne Terwilliger 13 points. Groggel in an unusual situation. LOYOLA 55 — WESTERN 53 Loyola ' s great center, Jack Kerris, pumped in a basket in the final minute to put a damper on the Bronco finale as Loyola took a 55-53 decision in another home thriller. Western edged out a 26-25 halftime lead, and the margin stayed at a couple of points either way almost to the final gun. Loyola, just before the gun, tried to stall a five-point lead, but the Broncos tied it up with seconds left. Kerris ' basket was an anti-climax to Western ' s rally, but the Western fans had seen a real thriller to end the season. Don Boven led Western with 14 points, while Kerris had I 8 for Loyola. Over one of the toughest schedules ever attempted by a Western cage team, the Broncos ended with a 12-10 record for the year. In competition with Mid-American Conference members, the Broncos gave a creditable showing, splitting even with Miami and giving Cincinnati a real battle before losing. Highlight of the season was the victory over Indiana State, first time in history that the Broncos had been able to defeat the Sycamores in a cage contest. That game was one of th many typical Western games — a battle to the final gun. Nine of Western ' s games in the 1947-48 season were decided by one or two points, the Broncos winning six of these close ones. Only one game went into overtime, but that contest turned out to be a triple-overtime 69-67 victory over Loyola at Chicago. 219 FROSH tSTii?

The 1947-48 Freshman basketball team, first all-freshman cage squad since pre-war days, missed a perfect season in losing just one contest — that being a 47-41 decision to Valparaiso ' s Bee team. All of the men in the squad picture were freshman award winners, in addition to Jim Betchek, Berrien Springs; Norm Gotschall, Fremont; and Jerry Hagan, Kalamazoo. Leading scorer for the season was Jim Betchek, with 67 points in the six games in which he played. Pat Clysdale was second with 64 points, and Lyie Alrich third with 49. Other leading scorers were Wayne Berger and John Sedlock, each of whom counted 45 points. Bob Willette, with 44, and Basil Mason with 22. The remaining points were scattered among 13 other players. The greenclads averaged an even 57 points per game, scoring 399 markers in seven contests, while the opposition totalled 314, for an average of just under 45 points per game. 220 WESTERN FROSH 44 — CALVIN BEES 31 The greenclad cagers opened with a 44-31 decision over Calvin ' s Bees in the first half of a double bill with the Knights from Grand Rapids. Behind 17-10 at halftime, the Bees rallied to win with Bob Willette ' s 12 points leading the way. WESTERN FROSH 57 — CALVIN BEES 44 The second win over the Calvin Bees came a bit easier, and the frosh went from a 36-26 halftime lead to a 57-44 triumph. Pat Clysdale rolled in 13 points to top the scoring. WESTERN FROSH 68 — PERCY JONES 43 A 44-point splurge in the last half paced the frosh victory over Percy Jones, as the Battle Creek soldiers went down to a 68-43 defeat. Lyie Alrich pumped in 12 points to top the Bronco attack. WESTERN FROSH 62 — MANCHESTER FROSH 43 Victory number four was recorded over the Manchester Frosh, 62-43, but only after a tough fight. The Indianans made things tough for almost a half, but led by LyIe Alrich ' s 17 markers, the frosh slowly pulled out to a good lead. WESTERN FROSH 66 — VALPARAISO BEES 64 A last-second basket by LyIe Alrich saved the day for the Broncos as they eked out a 66-64 decision over a highly-rated Valparaiso Bee squad. Although the Broncos were never behind in the second half, they saw a 39-26 halftime lead melt to a tie until Alrich ' s basket won the game. VALPARAISO BEES 47 — WESTERN FROSH 41 The greenclad ' s perfect mark was shattered when Valpo ' s Bees edged out a 47-41 victory in the game at Kalamazoo. Jim Betchek scored 19 points, but the Crusaders went from a 19-16 halftime lead to a six-point final margin. WESTERN FROSH 61 — CLEARY COLLEGE 42 The final record stood at six wins, one loss, after a 61-42 victory over Cleary College in the finale at Kalamazoo. In this game, Jim Betchek scored 13 points to shade Pat Clysdale for high point honors for both the game and the season. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL 221 Direc+or of Athletics Judson A. Hyames The 1948 edition of the Brown and Gold is dedicated to Judson A. Hyames, whose nanne has been linked with Western ' s progress through the years since the school first took its place in Michigan ' s scene. A 1915 graduate of Western, Mr. Hyames became an assistant coach upon gradua- tion, and in 1922, he became head baseball coach. For 15 years his diamond teams ranked with the finest to be found in the collegiate world, and as Western expanded, the school ' s name became synonymous with baseball interest. At the close of the 1936 season, Mr. Hyames became Director of Athletics, a post which he has held since that time. Under his direction, the department of physical education has grown and is still growing into one of the finest systems in the nation.

Western ' s 1947 baseball team, after a slow start, ended the season with I I wins, eight losses, and a tie in 20 games. The Broncos could have won a mythical state championship with another victory, but one-run losses to Michigan kept them from that honor. Michigan State was beaten twice, and Central Michigan was walloped in one game. State then defeated Michi- gan twice, and Western could have claimed the honors with even one win over the Wolves, but Michigan won 7-6 and 2-1 decisions. Twin victories over Wisconsin, the win over Notre Dame, and the 9-1 victory over Bowling Green in which Warren Biddle came within a put-out of a no-hit contest, were other highlights of the year. 7 947 BASEBALL 225 ?« TiiaSSe- Weather conditions kept the Broncos from enough outdoor practice before the 1947 baseball season began, and with only a few days of outdoor action, the team started for St. Louis on the spring trip. In the opener at Washington of St. Louis, the Bears edged out a 3-2 decision in 12 innings, with Ed Wierzbicki being charged with the loss. The second days ' contest was just as close, but the Bears again came out on top, this time in a 5-4 contest in which the winning run crossed the plate in the ninth inning. Two games were scheduled with Concordia, but after the Broncos had romped to an I 1-0 triumph in the initial contest, rain interfered, and washed out the second game. Ernie Victor was the winner in this game as the Broncos recorded their first win. In the series with Bradley University at Peoria, the Broncos fought the Braves to a 7-7 tie in the first game, and then with Ed Rossi the victor, they won the second game 5-3. Iowa then clipped out a 14-3 decision in the last game of the trip. The regular season opened with a 7-6 loss to Michigan, after Western had led 6-5 going into the final frame. The defeat marked Western ' s third one-run defeat of the year. At Valparaiso, the Broncos took a 7-6 decision behind Warren Biddle and Ed Rossi, with Biddle the winner. Rossi cut off a Valpo threat in the ninth after a four-run lead had melted to one run, but Biddle was the starter and was credited with the win. The big victory of the year was recorded when Michigan State, regarded as the toughest of Western ' s opponents, went down to a 9- 1 shellacking at the hands of the Broncos. With Ed Rossi limiting the Spartans to six hits, the Broncos made short work of the East Lansing boys, as Carlton Coss, Bob Pollard, and Walt Young hit the ball all over Hyames Field. The Irish jinx held when Notre Dame edged out a 6-5 victory in a close contest at Kalamazoo. Biddle and Gordon shared pitching duties for Western, with Bowdell taking the loss as a result of some late-inning wildness. Western ' s record to this point was only four wins, five losses, and a tie, but one-run losses had been common, and the victory over State brightened the picture con- siderably. 7 947 BASEBALL 226 7 947 BASEBALL The Broncos returned to winning ways with a 12-1 runaway over Central Michigan, with Ernie Victor doing the hurling, and then Ed Rossi again held Michigan State in check as the Broncos scored a highly-prized second victory over the Spartans, 4-1. Returning to competition against Western Conference opposition, the Broncos pounded out a 12-4 victory over Wisconsin under lights at Madison. With Bob Pollard and Harold Throop each hitting three times, the Broncos gave Ed Rossi another victory though Gordie Bowdell finished the contest. In the big home game with Michigan, the Broncos failed in their bid for a mythical state championship by losing to the Wolverines, 2-1, in a great contest. The Broncos rallied late in the game for one run, but Michigan held on to the lead, and Ed Rossi went down to defeat. The two-game series with Bowling Green saw the Broncos romp to a pair of victories, 4-1 and 9-1. In the first game, Gordon Bowdell gave the Falcons three hits, and in the second contest Warren Biddle went down to the last man in the ninth inning before a scratch single robbed him of a no-hitter. A 2-1 victory over Wisconsin gave the home fans more to cheer about, and then the Broncos headed for South Bend and a 7-3 triumph over Notre Dame. Ed Rossi went the route to win this game, with Bob Pollard, Harold Throop, and Carlton Coss each getting two hits for the Broncos. Notre Dame took the next day ' s contest by a 6-5 count; the same score that the Irish had won by at Kalamazoo. The season ' s final saw Northwestern come from behind to win a 4-2 decision at Hyames Field. Western led 2-1 in the fifth, but the Wildcats rallied to beat Ed Rossi. The loss ended Western ' s season, with a record of I I wins, eight losses, and one tie. Presentation oi +he plaque for Judson A.

Western ' s top hurler, Ed Rossi, signed a professional contract in February, 1948, and thus was lost to the diamond squad, effective as soon as the contract became official. Gordon Bowdell was the highest-ranking 1947 pitcher to return for the 1948 campaign, with re- liefer Curt Prediger attempting to make the jump to a starting role to bolster Bowdell. Up from the highly successful 1947 B squad was Eugene Schlukebir, who appeared to be the most promising of the new varsity flingers. Frank Lerchen and George Duditch rated close behind this trio. Baseball Coach Charlie Maher Lettermen filled every other position, with more backstops available than could be counted. Three ace catchers returned, these being Walt Young, Ned Stuits, and Bill Kowalskl. In the infield, first basemen Carlton Coss and Don Boven were on hand, along with promising reserve strength in the person of Jack VanDongen. At second, Wayne Terwijliger was back for more action, and at third, Dick Groggel was out to keep his 1947 berth. Bernie Compton, converted outfielder, and Ted Plaza battled it out for the starting shortstop position. Three lettermen were on hand to patrol the outer gardens, these being Gus Gorguze, Bob Pollard, and Joe Cooper. A host of aspirants gave these three plenty of com- petition for starting berths. I 948 BASEBALL 228 I 948 BASEBALL Western ' s 1948 baseball schedule was the first Bronco athletic card to include a full slate of opposition in the Mid-American Conference. Twin bills with Cincinnati, Ohio University, Butler, Western Reserve, and Miami University gave the Broncos plenty of conference competition.

Western ' s 1947 outdoor track season saw the Broncos win from Grand Rapids Junior College, Loyola, and the University of Detroit in dual meets while losing to Marquette University. In other meets, the Broncos lost the Elmhurst Relay title which they had won the previous season, and also finished a doss second in the Michigan State Intercollegiate Meet at Kalamazoo. 1947 OUTDOOR TRACK 230 Western ' s 1947 outdoor track season opened with the Bronco thinclads rolling over Grand Rapids Junior College, 94-56, even though Eddie Taylor was absent. Harold Humble set a meet record of 50.8 in the 440-yard dash, and Frank Gilman ' s leap of 22 feet, one inch in the broad jump was outstanding. At Philadelphia, Eddie Taylor competed in the Penn Relays while his teammates were beating the Grand Rapids team. Taylor shared in a five-way tie for first in the high jump with Dwight Eddleman, Illinois; Bill Vessie, Columbia; Irv Mondschein, New York University; and John Jones, of Montgomery, Alabama, Teachers.

Eddie Taylor took the 120-yard high hurdles, and was second in the low hurdles. Success returned to the Broncos in the dual meet with Loyola of Chicago, as Western rolled up a 99% to 4II 4 victory over the Ramblers. Eddie Taylor took both hurdles events, and tied for top honors in the high jump. Bob Stout broke two meet records while winning the mile and two-mile, and Earl Boor won the 100-yard dash, took second in the 220, and topped the individual times in the relay. Western ' s relay squad of Hal Humble, Ed Moschioni, Boor, and Lindy Davis, gave Loyola ' s great relay quartet a real battle before losing. 1947 OUTDOOR TRACK 231 livii MMH S Eddie Taylor as he streaked to first place In the high hurdles in the 1947 State Intercollegiate Meet. Brodie of Michigan Normal, at left, took second. Michigan Normal won the 1947 State Intercollegiate Meet, held at Waldo Stadium, with Western coming In second best with 51 points to Normal ' s 64I 2 tallies. Eddie Taylor hit the peak of his career with four firsts — in both hurdles, the broad jump, and the high jump. There were no meet records established, but Normal ' s Garion Campbell stole some of Taylor ' s glory with wins in both sprint events. Western took a host of places in the Michigan A.A.U. meet at Ypsilanti. Eddie Taylor won the high hurdles and the high jump, and took second in the low hurdles and the broad jump. The Broncos made a good showing in the distance runs, with Ed Moschloni finishing second In the mile, and Bob Stout and Dick Lucking placing second and third In the two-mile.

Taylor followed this performance with a fifth in the low hurdles, while Hal Humble was a close second in the collegiate division 440-yard dash. Cagney of Loyola won, with Humble a tenth of a second behind at 50.1 Wayne University ' s always-powerful trackmen had too much depth for the Broncos, and the Tartars rolled out a 58% to 36 ' 3 victory over Western. Eddie Taylor cracked three gym records in the process, however. He did the low hurdles (40 yards) in 4.9 seconds, the high hurdles (40 yards) in 5.2 seconds, and cleared six feet, four and three-quarters inches in the high jump. At the Chicago Daily News Relays, Taylor was out of competition because of the recurrence of an old injury, but the mile relay team of Hal Humble, Dar Smith, Lyie LaPine, and Lindy Davis came through with a second in the college division. Wheaton College ' s fine quartet was pushed to a new meet record in the process. Finale of the indoor season came when the foursome of Humble, LaPine, Davis, and Herb Lewis took a fifth in the college sprint medley at the Purdue Relays. 1948 INDOOR TRACK 234 7948 OUTDOOR TRACK 1948 Outdoor Schedule: April 16, 17 — Kansas Relays at Lawrence, Kansas.

MICHIGAN TECH H j Tied I. Western ' s 1947 golf team compiled one of the finest records ever made by a Western links squad, with twelve victories and a tie in sixteen starts. All three of the losses came early in the season, as Kentucky, Toledo, and Wayne handed the Broncos their reverses. On the annual southern trip, the Broncos won three out of four matches, losing only the Kentucky affair. Following the tie with Toledo, the linksmen rolled over eight straight opponents to end the best golf season in Western history. Lettermen were Val Bleech, Chuck Knox, Joe Evans, Chuck Hohn, and Al Zaskowski. J 947 GOLF 236 1948 GOLF A new coach and a greatly revised schedule featured the golf picture at Western during the 1948 season. Mitchell (Mike) Gary replaced Fred hHuff as mentor of the linksmen before the 1948 season began, with Gary planning to continue his duties as associate athletic director right along with the golf job. As competition in the Mid-American Conference began on a full scale for Bronco athletic teams, the golf schedule changed accordingly. Although only one Mid- American member, Butler, appeared on the regular season schedule, all conference members entered in the conference meet at Athens, Ohio, on May 28 and 29. Aside from the addition of the conference meet, Michigan State appeared on the schedule after a lengthy absence. The complete 1948 schedule: March 29 — Butler at Indianapolis.

Western ' s 1947 tennis record was not impressive from the standpoint of wins and losses, but the victories over Wayne and Northwestern stood out. The triumph over the Wildcats of Northwestern marked the first time in history that the Broncos have been able to defeat them in tennis. The team might have gone over the .500 mark if the match with Vanderbilt had been completed, but darkness halted the play when Western was ahead in the last doubles match. Lettermen were Co-Captains Wally and Bob Stuckert, Arnie Brown, Jim JankowskI, Bill Lighvoet, John Milroy, and Ray Postema. 1 947 TENNIS 238 In the final standings of the Central Collegiate Meet at Notre Dame on May 30 and 31 and June 1, 1947, the Broncos took third, behind Notre Dame and Kalamazoo College. John Milroy won over John Filer, DePauw, in the first round, while Bob and Walt Stuckert won in the second round singles. Bob beating Bob David of Notre Dame and Walt trimming Norm Appel of Cincinnati. Bob Stuckert went on to win in the third round over Jack Shingleton of Michigan State. Bob then lost to Jack Sunderland of Kalamazoo, 6-3, 9-7. In doubles, the Stuckerts defeated Birdsall and Bendelund, Northern Illinois, and Art Leighton and Nick Beresky of Kalamazoo, 6-2, 9-7. The Evart brothers of Notre Dame beat the Stuckerts in the semi-finals, 6-3, 6-4. The Stuckerts won one NCAA match over Alder and Hickman of Brigham Young before losing in the Los Angeles meet. Missing from the 1948 tennis candidates were the Stuckert brothers, but Capt. Arnie Brown found letterman John Milroy, Ray Postema, Bill Lightvoet and Jim Jankowski to back him for the 1948 season. Don Constant and John Lychuk were the most promising newcomers. The 1948 Schedule: March 30 — Vanderbilt at Nashville. March 3 I — South Carolina at Columbia. April I — Presbyterian at Clinton, S. C.

With the return of freshman athletics during the 1947-48 school year, yearling activity in all four spring sports once more was separated from varsity competition. Freshman track started early in the winter, so that by the time Wayne University came to Kalamazoo for an indoor meet, the freshman teams of the two schools engaged in a meet at the same time. Wayne won the meet, 64-31, but Russell Gabier of Western ' s frosh won firsts in both the mile and two-mile, and good performances were in evidence on both sides. Other meets In the spring were to be scheduled with Grand Rapids and Jackson Junior Colleges. Frosh golf and tennis returned to the scene, with teams working out in both of these sports. Though actual intercollegiate competition in these areas was at a minimum, varsity coaches kept their eyes on the improvement of the yearling candidates. The freshman teams in golf, tennis, and track for 1948 marked the first such teams sponsored at Western since the spring of 1942, as only baseball. In the form of a B team, had been sponsored in 1946 and 1947. FRESHMAN SPRING SPORTS 240 FRESHMAN SPRING SPORTS The spring of 1948 marked the return of freshman baseball, which replaced the B teams which Western sponsored in these sports during 1946 and 1947. The 1947 B team rolled up an impressive record of nine wins in ten starts, losing only to Michigan State ' s B team. In the initial game of the season. Jack VanDongen knocked out a double with two men on. two out, and Western a run behind to give the Broncos a 3-2 win over Hope College ' s varsity. From then on, the Bees beat Percy Jones, 13-3 and Hope again, 11-4, and Percy Jones again, ll-l. Then came a 7-4 loss to State ' s Bees, followed by five wins — Ionia Reformatory, 9-1 and 6-0, Percy Jones, 7-4 and 10-4, and victory over State ' s Bees in the return game, 9-5. The 1948 freshman team had an eight-game schedule, with Don Scott as coach. The complete card for the season: April 24 _ Hope varsity at Kalamazoo. May I Trl-State varsity at Kalamazoo.

Boxing became firmly established in the Western sports scene this year as the decision was made to elevate the sport to an intercollegiate level for 1948-49. With an eye to the future, the preparations for an intercollegiate boxing team were completed this winter, and considerable interest was aroused with the scheduling of two exhibition bouts with Michigan State College team. Both of these were held as intramural exhibitions, for the boxing activity had not yet been moved up to the regular intercollegiate level. The winter of 1948-49, though, will see a regular varsity boxing team sponsored by Western, with a full schedule of intercollegiate competition. BOXING 242 Michigan State B ' ; Western 2I 2. in the first boxing axhibition, held at Mich- igan state ' s Jenison Fieldhouse on February 16, the Broncos made a creditable showing against the Spartans. Western ' s A! Micatrotto won one of the two heavy- weight bouts with a technical knockout of Lloyd Coon in the first round, while Eli Holes won a middleweight decision over Pat Dougherty of State. Jim Graham, also a middleweight, fought State ' s Ray Marincci to a draw for the other Bronco half-point. Other Broncos participating in the match were John Hramiec, lightweight: Homer Branch, welterweight; Dick Dunn, light heavyweight; Bob Rhinard, light heavy- weight; and Clarence Pilatowici, heavyweight. WESTERN 5: MICHIGAN STATE 4. The exhibition at Kalamazoo on March 2 was a complete success from every point of view. A large-size crowd made the affair a financial success, and the Bronco boxers made the evening complete with a 5-4 triumph over the Spartans. The first bouts of the match saw Michigan State take a commanding lead, but Western came back to win on Al Micatrotto ' s victory. In the initial match. Jack Tierney of State scored a second round technical knockout over Western ' s Bob Tomes. This was followed by a Western victory in the form of Bob Myers ' decision over Al Liberman. State won the next two bouts. Bob McRae gaining a split decision over John Hramiec, and national champion Chuck Davey winning over Homer Branch. Eli Holes decisloned State ' s Pat Daugherty and Jim Graham took a close match from the Spartans ' Phil Marshall to even the count at three wins apiece. Two draws left the count at four for each team going into the final bout. Bob Rhinard, Western, drew with John Graham, and Dick Dunn of the Broncos drew with George Smith. In the deciding final bout, Al Micatrotto took a decision from State ' s Al Marek, and the Broncos emerged the victors by a 5-4 count. 243 White Lakers. 1948 Intramural basketball champions.

More than 400 men participated in the 1948 Intramural basketball league, as 44 teams battled for four months to win places in the final playoffs for the Western championship. Fourteen teams, the cream of the crop in the seven leagues, won their way into the final round. The White Lakers, captained by Bill Noyd, edged out the previously unbeaten Funnel Club, 38-36, in the final contest to take first place honors. To win a spot In the finals, the White Lakers avenged their only loss of the season by beating the Arabs, 42-40; Barracks 20 by a 50-45 count; and the Newman Club, 38-34. The Funnel Club breezed through eight regular season games unbeaten, and then in tourney play won from Grosser ' s Vandercook champs, 45-17 and the Macedonians, 39-37, before losing to the White Lakers. In the final battle on March 8. the Funnel Club led until midway in the third period, when the White Lakers finally caught up. A good-sized crowd of cheering spectators watched the lead change hands twice until Bill Noyd dropped in a long shot with 20 seconds left to provide the winning margin, and to give the White Lakers medals as school champions. INTRAMURAL SPORTS 244 Clayton Maus Director ot Intramurals Intramural activity was spread over a dozen different sports during the 1947-48 school year, with a large percentage ot Western ' s men participating in one or more sports. Basketball was the largest single activity with 400 men involved, but boxing attracted the largest crowds. In addition to the two exhibitions with Michigan State College, an all-college Boxing Carnival was held in December, at which an enthusiastic crowd of more than 3,000 spectators watched ten exciting and closely-battled bouts. Roy Wietz, who is in charge of all boxing activity, managed the show with help from student enthusiasts. Clayton Maus was in charge of all other Intramural sports, with Jim Hart and Jim Bruce his invaluable assistants. In touch football, Capt. John Milroy ' s Red Cats won the title with a 20-8 victory over Hall of Fame, Vandercook champions. Over 200 men participated In the football league during the season. In bowling, the quartet of Jim Kelush, Casey Kevwitch, Cal Cowan, and Bob Peterson, easily outdistanced all competition. Intramural competition was also provided In handball, Softball, table tennis, archery, horseshoes, golf, track, and volleyball. Action In the Dec. 18 Boxing Carnival; Jim Kolka sends Buck Pilatowici to the canvas in one of the ten close bouts in the exhibition. 245 MEN ' S PHYSICAL EDUCATION There Is a minimum requirement of 18 hours of physical education for all men who finish college at Western. For six semesters of residence, the men must take three hours of physical education unless other circumstances make it physically impossible for them to take this kind of work. Veterans are credited with four semesters of physical education for their service, but they must start the remainder of their work in their first semester of residence, as do all other men who have the full 18 hours to complete. The Athletic Department at Western possesses as fine a physical setup as could be found in any college in the nation, in courses designed both for the physical education major and for the student enrolled in other courses. Present facilities, shared with intercollegiate teams, are taxed to the utmost of their capacity in order to carry out the entire program, but plans for the future call for facilities which will enable the program to be run with more ease. Physical education majors on campus receive a course as complete as that in any other curricula, and the success of the department can be seen in the success of Western physical education graduates in various coaching jobs throughout the state. 246 In the actual coaching field, the physical education major studies complete programs in all kinds of first aid and training room work, in addition to courses in the fundamentals of four major sports — football, baseball, track, and basketball. A student may also finish work in Red Cross lifesaving and swimming under Western ' s direction. Majors must also complete courses in the history and principles of physical edu- cation, courses in playground and community recreation programs, and courses for such activities as wrestling, Softball, handball, and soccer. Western ' s physical education system is rated as one of the finest in the nation; on the Western campus is a setup which not only covers the needs of the physical education majors, but which will cover completely the work of the entire male student body. 247 No small share of the credit for the production of the 1948 Brown and Gold is due to the various campus organizations, to the Athletic Board, and to the many ad- vertisers, all of whom played important roles in making this book possible. The advertisers whose cooperation and support have contributed to the financial success of the yearbook deserve special credit. Support them as they are supporting Western. 248 ADVERTISING INDEX Page Acme Paint and Gift Store 262 Ann Arbor Trust Co. 260 Armintrout ' s 276 Arctic Ice Cream 262 Bard Steel and Mill Supply 27 I Barker ' s 276 Bermingham and Prosser 268 Bestervelt Market 260 M.
