Alexander Pope (UU MW WMBKm Administration President I wish to commend the staff of the Brown and Gold for their superb production of the 1956 edition. Each year some excellent and unique ideas appear which are stimulating and interesting. You may be proud of the work you have done. To those of you who have participated in the production of this annual, I extend my sincere congratulations. Paul V. Sangren President Since his appointment as chief executive officer of Western in 1936, Dr. Paul V. Sangren has worked unceasingly to keep the college in step with its rapidly growing enrollment. He is the final authority, and represents Western in its various public relations. 10 V, « • S VICE PRESIDENT In 1945, Dr. Wynand Withers came from presidency of Hope College to the new office of vice president of Western. Among his responsibilities are the supervision and improvement of the facultv and instruction, and, with the Educa- tional Policies Committee, revision of curricular of- ferings, practices and policies. The administration of Western has multiplied proportionately with its enrollment. From a staff of two. President Waldo and his secretary, plus a director of the campus school, it has grown to in- clude 15 busy people. Miss Roxanne Steele, the secretary, was also registrar of the college. As presi- dent, Waldo ' s job at that time was a very personal one in relation to the students. The first Dean of Women came in 1916, the first Dean of Men in 1925. In 1934, the office of Dean of Administration was initiated, and Dr. Sangren was appointed to the position. When Sangren became president in 1936, at the end of a three year battle for the survival of the school, he created new offices and redistributed duties. DEAN OF ADMINISTRATION-REGISTRAR Mr. Clayton Maus assists the President in the areas of supervision of student class programs and activities, enrollemnt procedures, and student loans. II ADMINISTRATION DEAN OF WOMEN Dr. Elizabeth Lichty is the special friend of every woman on campus, finding jobs, helping them adjust to college life, supervising housing, and taking time to talk with any student who needs a sympathetic ear. DEAN OF MEN J. Towner Smith supervises men ' s housing, keeps per sonal files on all the men on campus, and knows them all much better than usually suspected. 12 ft ADMINISTRATION COMPTROLLER Mr. Cornelius McDonald is the man who pavs the bills. Among his duties are keep- ing the financial records of the administration, and auditing the books of all the organizations on campus. ASSISTANT REGISTRAR Dr. Keith Smith is the new recorder of grades, super- visor of official blanks, forms and lists. DIRECTOR OF PLACEMENT AND ALUMNI RELATIONS When Mr. Vern Mabie took the posi- tion he now holds, he visited every school within driving distance to acquaint himself with the condi- tions. He takes the same care in knowing those his office serves, and such conscientious work has resulted in satisfied employers and graduates. 13 DIRECTOR OF STUDENT PERSONNEL AND GUIDANCE Dr. George H. Hilliard directs the counseling program of the undergraduates on their courses of study, keeps student personnel records, and is himself a friendly informed guide when general counseling is needed. DIRECTOR OF GRADUATE DIVISION AND SUMMER SESSION Dr. George Mal- linson works with the various departments in choosing the graduate and summer courses of- fered, supervises the admission of graduate students, and recommends candidates for Mast- er ' s Degrees. DIRECTOR OF VOCATIONAL EDUCATION Dr. George Kohrman has under his supervision not only the usual degree candidates, but in addition, students enrolled in the college for non-degree work in the Vocational and Practical Arts Division. 14 ADMINISTRATION DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION Acceptance of students into the education field, and supervising the teacher training program are among the re- sponsibilities of Dr. James Griggs. DIRECTOR OE ADULT EDUCA- TION AND EXTENSION Mr. Otto Yntema supervises the extension and correspondence courses from the ad building penthouse, assisted by Associ- ate Director Leonard Gernant, who is also Dean of the Chapel. 15 I V 1 C lie true Ltulversltu of these dai s Is a (collection of Jjooks . . .

Western Michigan College is but one of the hundreds of colleges and universities throughout the country possessing such a vital military organization as the Reserve Officer Training Corps. Established in 1950 on our campus, it has grown to be one of the leading and most respected organizations at Western. Two thousand persons witnessed the annual review of more than 700 cadets as they paraded before Major General Charles L. Dasher in Waldo Stadium. In the reviewing stand with the General were Brigadier General B. P. Johnson, Mayor Glenn S. Allen, Jr., officials of Western Michigan College and the in- specting officers. The annual review is one of the big military events of the year because the regiment parades as a unit, and the public is given the oppor- tunity to view the performance of the future Army officers. Major Crowe presents citations to 1955 cadets. 30 An ROTC company passing in review before Major Gen- eral Charles Dasher and other ranking army officials in the 1955 review, Waldo Stadium.

Their outstanding records in competition demon- strate the fulfillment of their aims for achieving utmost efficiency. 33 SUMMER CAMP • •: ■ %  General review at ROTC summer camp, Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Three of the boys sample some of that famous army ' C ration ' during chow time, Fort Lee. Each year summer camp offers the potential officer extensive opportunity to put the instruction of the regular school year into realistic practice. The camp is attended by cadets in their junior year. The student receives practical experience in the perform- ance of tactical, technical, and administrative duties in the field with special emphasis on student leader- ship. But it is not all work and no play. The trainees are provided extensive recreational facilities which make their stay at summer camp a well rounded memorable experience. Many life-long friendships are formed by the companionships experienced here. Baseball and softball prove to be one of the more popular pastimes. Here, some of the Fort Lee trainees enjoy a friendly game during a lull in training exercises. 34 R. O. T. C. Lt. Col. Virlyn Y. Jones The responsibility for preparing students for future leadership in the United States Army lies in the capable hands of the Professor of Military Science and Tactic, Lt. Col. Virlyn Jones. His able leadership and guidance with the assistance of trained officers and enlisted men gives the ROTC student a well- rounded military background. The social highlight of the ROTC rear is the annual Military Ball. A queen and court is chosen, officers and students don their dress uniforms with highly polished buttons, and an evening of dancing and fun is enjoyed by all. Major McNeil presents the ROTC Queen ' s Trophy to Lura Sullivan Hanshu, reigning queen for the 1955 Ball. 35 A (Zlic direction in wkick education starts a man will oe.tcrmine his future life. . . .

Informal PJ parties, after-dinner coffees, and plain, old fashion- ed gab sessions help to make the girls feel right at home. Some of the more important events occuring at Spindler Hall this year were the open house. South Pacific; the annual Dormitory Formal; the Christmas and Easter breakfasts; faculty teas; and an exploration faith speaker. The hustle and bustle of planning and making the homecoming float and preparing the alumnae coffee were also occasions to be remembered.

The counselors were Herb Jones and Carl Sattlemair with Mr. and Mrs. Archie Potter as directors. Men of Smith Burnham treated their young ladies to a dance. 117 WALWOOD HALL Variety is the spice of life we are told, and if this holds true, Walwood Hall must be a very inter- esting place. The Hall has served as a dormitory for both men and women students since its completion in 1938. At present, it is being used to house men stu- dents. Adjoining the Union, it offers a choice location for those who like recreation close at hand.

VANDERCOOK Vandercook Hall, home for two hundred men, crowns the crest of Oakland hil The men who live in Vandercook Hall take much pride in the homey and friendly atmosphere of their dormitory. This dormitory was built in 1939 and over 200 men call it home each year. Vandercook Hall really differs from the other male residence halls in that it has no cafeteria facilities; a snack bar serves the in-between snack needs instead. The memorable evening get-togethers and dormi- tory smokers are just as much a part of Vandercook ' s social life as is their closed formal, Teepee Tango. This year, the men of Vandercook went out and captured another prize for their homecoming lawn display which featured a modern version of Davy Crockett and the bear he killed. This is proof that the Vandercook men stick together and accomplish quite a bit with their cooperative spirit and attitude. John Scudder was elected p resident this year with James Ward as his vice-president. Duane Brickner served as secretary. Dick Bryant and Charles Starring served as counselors with Dr. and Mrs. Robert Bowers as residence directors. The men of Vandercook never miss an opportunity to display their school spirit.

Founded in March 1955, it is just in it ' s infancy, but it has al- ready shown the power and benefits of a previously unorganized group of students. Its membership in- cludes every person who lives in a Residence Hall. Each Hall has three representatives on the Inter- Residence Hall Council. The purp ose of the Association is to promote social, political, cultural, and academic co-operation among the Halls and thus bring the students closer together through active participation in a common organization. Activities of the year include the Hallo- ween Dance, All Campus Christian Caroling, Christ- mas Dance, Spring Dance, Co-ordinated mixers and Exchange dinners. Officers for the year were John H. Frazer, Pres.; Charley Link, Treas.; Arlene Ramsey, Vice Pres.; Ann Powell, Sec; Mrs. Bowers and Dr. Ackerman, sponsors. 122 WIDK1 Eyes to the future! The Residence Halls Association hopes to sponsor student station WlDR. Clever themes, colorful decor and fun seeking students combine to make dances sponsored by RHA success.

Its main function is to help organizations iron out their problems. This com- mittee also has the power to receive charters of new groups and to help establish them on campus.

Founded in September of 1954, the Men ' s Judicial Board directs its efforts to replacing this honor in those who, by their actions, show they have need of it. The Board handles all discplinary cases of male students accused of being involved in infractions of college regulations or any other action which might tend to bring a bad name to Western Michigan Col- lege. The purpose of the Board is to take the dis- ciplining of students out of the realm of the ad- ministration and afford every man the opportunin of standing in judgment before a jury of his peers. Officers for the year were: John H. Frazer, Chief Justice; Burke Campbell, Associate Chief Justice; Robert Wathen, Jerry Halbert, Jack Christian, Ron Kasher, and John Young, Judges; Jim Keats, Court Recorder; Kurt Butters, Process Server; Dean J. Towner Smith and Dr. Mike Sebalv, Advisors. 127 The voice of the students at Western speaks pri- marily through this organization. Student Council has for years been handling both gripes and constructive suggestions from any student who wants to bring them in. While this in itself is a big order to fill. Council has many other duties to perform: Western ' s Inter-Dorm Radio, the K-College-Western Across The Tracks dance, the Brown Gold Fantasies, elections, and the Leadership Conference. In addition, Student Council takes care of grants-in-aid for de- serving students, the mountainous job of compiling the Western Way and various other charitable services. Even with all these items, Student Council manages to tri-sponsor several events with A.W.S. and Men ' s Union, such as the social calendars, the Christmas Dance, and our adopted Korean lad. Hats off in particular to the members of this year ' s Council who were successful in bringing about the reorganization measure to even better serve the students. An annual event Across The Tracks brings students of Western and Kalamazoo College together. Each year, the colleges alter- nate as hosts.

Also, for those interested in music, the school has an excellent choir which sings at civic organizations, service clubs, student nurse f estivals, and which gives a Christmas Concert every year. A student association makes it possible to initiate recommendations which are the result of student group thinking. And the hospital chaplain assists in making religion an integral part of the girls lives.

It would be Spanish ! Members of the Spanish Club meet every Tuesday at the Spanish round table and special programs are held the first Tuesday of even month. This club combines education with fun and pro- motes opportunities for students interested in Spanish to not only learn the language better but to learn more about the country and its history.

This organization has brought much recognition to the college and the paper technology department from the industry which is so well centered in the Kalamazoo River Valley. The members frequently participate in industrial field trips, hear speakers from various mills, and on the social side they feature a fall picnic and term recognition banquets. Officers this year were Thomas Murwin, President; James Lewis, Vice-President; John Yonker, Secretary; and Curt Thies, Treasurer. 168 PHI EPSILON Oh, no! not a girl with muscles was a cry often heard by the girls of Phi Epsilon. However, the pe- tite young ladies majoring or minoring in Physical Education who compose the organization have suc- ceeded in reducing this crv to an insignificant whine. Realizing the value of a wider and more intelligen: understanding of ph sical education, the members bend their efforts in this direction. Emphasis is also placed on lovalty to one ' s team and the rules of good sportsmanship. Social activities are not forgotten, however, as the W Club can well attest. The annual vollevball game between the two organizations is a highlight, as is the spring house party for the gals alone. Two philanthropic projects are also included on the yearly agenda, as well as outside speakers and other special events. Sponsoring the group this vear was Miss Crvstal W ' orner.

T. CLUB An outstanding organization on Western ' s campus since 1945 the O. T. Club has been invaluable to the students interest in O. T. as a career. The purposes of this group are two-fold: To provide service and recreation for the community and to provide oppor- tunities for students with a common interest to meet and make friends. Programs are presented with these ideas in mind and man) discussions as to the pro- fessional value of various materials and methods are held among the group. Social activities are regarded as a must and the annual Fall and Spring picnics along with the Christ- mas sale satisfy this need. Heading the organization in 1955-56 was Nancy Aurit as President; while Sally Harris, Donna Oldenburg and Carolyn Miura served as Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer respectively. Important committees were handled by Frances Mc- Mullen as head of social affairs; Miriam Dickerson, Programs; Yoshi Miyasato and Christine Buck, Publi- city.

This organi- zation was founded in 1941 and has availed itself to promoting keen insights for the individual consider- ing one of the above fields as a career ever since that time. In arranging to supplement the student ' s academic courses; programs are planned around guest speakers and films with group discussion following. But all is not work with the Pre-Meds, so in the Spring the members disguise themselves as Cavorting Cadavers ' ' and go a-picnicking. Leading the group this year were Donn Milks holding the gavel while Kay Lewis banged out the minutes and held the key to the cash box. Lending their dignified presence as sponsors were Mr. Merrill Wiseman and Mr. Harry Lawson. 177 The College Choir is perhaps the busiest organiza- tion on campus. What with all their local perform- ances, this select group of mixed voices found the time this year to perform at the Conrad Hilton of Chicago for a special convention of educators. Local- ly, under the direction of Dr. Elwyn Carter, they pre- sent a Festival of Arts concert, a Christmas program, a spring concert, and participate in the annual high school gathering held on campus. From the number of performances and the caliber of them, one would think the College Choir was all work ... it isn ' t for they find time for parties and a climactic spring picnic. Officers for the past year have been: Dick Miller, president; Sue Howes, secretary-treasurer; John Weber and Marv Alice Tabor, librarians.

In addition to all their other per- formances, the group presents a concert on the green each spring, this year honoring the late Edwin Franko Goldman, famed conductor-composer who was to have appeared on campus for the concert.

This year, they participated in the Composers Symposium and took to the road for several appearances in this area. Their colorful season ended with the Honors Convocation and a gala banquet. Mr. Stulberg was assisted by Mr. Phillip Mason, concert master. 180 MADRIGAL SINGERS A special group of students make up the Madrigal Singers the only qualification being talent and an acute interest in madrigals . . . lvric poems sung without accompaniment. The art of madrigals, de- veloped in the 16th century, holds a strange fascina- tion for the members of this distinctive organization ... a fascination they share with the campus whenever they perform. Under the leadership of Mrs. Dorthea Sage Snyder, the group travels through-out the area and highlights each season with their Festival of Arts performance. Easter and Christmas always finds them extra hard at work. Row One: Josephine Pry bylsti, Margo Reynolds, Judith Hatfield.

Men ' s Glee Club has been active on our campus for more than fifty years, and during this time they have continued to bring consistently good programs of music to the student body and the Western Michigan area. This organization is open to all Western men who have vocal talents and are interested in taking part in the many activities of the group. The men this year not only sang on campus but took to the road twice to present concerts in other areas. Under the direction of Mr. Jack J. Frey and headed by Harrison McGee, President, and Carl Sattelmaier, Secretary-Treasurer, they continued to provide the opportunity for Western men to sing the very best of music. ■MEN ' S GLEE CLUB Front row, I. to r: William Andrews, Don Marvin, Bob Zorn, Gordon Whitcomb, Gerald Olson, Richard Miller, Carl Sattelmaier Victor Hiclcman, and Gary Hershoren with Lee Vaught at the piano.

These buxom lasses seemed to think the team needed some help and so they added two points to the W Club ' s score. One of the more zealous of the two sultry W Club cheerleaders gets into the act. Something seems to be slipping in more ways than one. The W Club was formed on Western ' s campus in 1920 and has thrived throughout the years. The club consists of letter-winners in the various major sports and membership is by election. The objectives of this organization are: To promote the interest of good citizenship, cleanliness and fair play in athletics, to raise the general standard of athletics by means of intercollegiate meetings, to develop and maintain a better standard of scholarship among athletes and to help stimulate a high standard of sportsmanship on and off the campus. The main activity of the vear is the annual ' Faculty vs. W Club ' basketball game held in the Men ' s Gym. This year the W Club avenged the loss of last year and beat the Faculty 24-23 in a sudden death overtime. Other activities include picnics. Dad ' s Day Luncheon and the selling of football and basketball programs to benefit the W Club Scholarship Fund. President for this vear was Jerrv Austin assisted bv Vice-Pres. Jerry Ganzel, Secretary Bob Soderman and Treasurer Tom Czvz. Sponsors were Ed Gabel and Jack Petoskey. 185 The Water Sprites, a synchronized swim group, was organized on campus in 1947 to promote interest and provide the opportunity for those who are interested in participating in water activities. Their basic activity is the yearlong preparation for their annual spring water show, a gala program including scenery, props, music, and perfected syn- chronized swim displays. Officers this year were Bonnie Wheeler, president; Joann Stollsteimer, vice-president; Kathryn Hilde- brand, secretary; and Sydney Buelow, treasurer. The Water Sprites are looking forward with high expectancy to the day when their activities will be held in the new seven-land pool now under con- struction.

WESTER N WIVES- In 1948 wives of Western students decided they deserved more from living on campus than cooking and cleaning. It was then that the Western Wives Club came into being so that the women could get acquainted, promote friendship, and enjoy social aspects of campus life. Since their founding the drab past has been for- gotten and replaced bv a bright whirl of activities which make their years at college memorable ones. Events this year included a fall dance, and a spring dance given in conjunction with the Western Vets to benefit the outfitting of the playgrounds at the Elmwood Apartments. Along with their recognition services for the graduating members they held a Harvest Banquet in November, complete with fashion show. Colorful food booths at both student carnivals and the annual spring cookie sale displayed their culunarv ability, while their float at homecoming showed their artistic talents. Under the leadership of their officers: Helen Len- non, Phyllis Swayze, Donna Roberts, Deiores More- lli, Phyllis Sweet, and Leatha Hildebrandt many ad- vances were made, including the acquisition of ID cards enabling them to attend student events at a reduced cost.

First on the list this vear was a booth in the student carnival. Following almost too close for comfort was Homecoming, with an alum banquet in honor of Founder ' s Dav and a float. Member Joan Randall was selected for one of the Homecoming queen ' s court. The new plan of fall rush brought twenty new pledges into the group, so in December the actives entertained their pledges with a slumber party. 190 Several firsts were awarded to the Alpha Chi ' s, both last spring and this year. Thev were top in scholarship for the sororities. For Sorority Sing last year, for which thev were awarded first place, a whole fleet of Alpha Chi sailors sang There is Nothing Like a Dame.

At the sorority ' s National Convention this summer, Lou received the Frost Fidelity Award, which is in recognition of sorority loyalty and service to the local college chapter and campus. With the strains of Ralph Marterie ' s music for homecoming still floating in their heads, the Alpha Sigs prepared for a busy rush schedule. At the end of rush, the group welcomed nineteen new pledges into the Beta Psi chapter. Dads were entertained at a dinner during their weekend at a Barbershop party, and Mothers were entertained at a luncheon in the spring.

The Sigma K ' s participated in Homecoming by en- tering a float and entertaining alums at a coffee.

These were later presented to needy families in Kalamazoo. Another philanthropic project was undertaken at Christmas. The girls collected and sent gifts to the children at the Maine Seacoast Mis- sion. Participation in all Greek sponsored activities, parties with fraternities and their annual house party were all included in the calendar of events for the Sigma Kappa ' s. The group functioned this year under the leader- ship of; Janet LaPlante, president; Nadine Sikorski, vice-president; Mary Ann Knooihuizen, recording secretary; Rhea Appleyard, corresponding secretary; Joan Kilburn, treasurer.

SIGMA SIGMA SIGMA Top honors went to Sigma Sigma Sigma in several different activities this year. With Grass skirts and gold ring ornaments adorning them, the Tri Sigmas started the year ' s activities with a first prize for their booth at the Student Carnival. A circus theme brought two of the honors, the first one being a prize for their Homecoming float, which had a merry-go- round for its center theme. The second award was presented for their skit, Just Clowning Around in the Zeta Delta Epsilon ' s Variety Nite. Aside from winning prizes, the Tri Sigmas also sponsored two philanthropic projects. Proceeds from their Topsy Turvy Dance were donated to the Robbie Page Memorial Fund for polio research. At the dance, Heather Harrison was crowned Tops) Turvy Quesn. A Christmas party for underprivileged children was the other project undertaken by the girls. At the traditional Panhellenic Ball, the group ' s pledges were presented. They were the honored guests at a banquet preceding the dance. Luncheons, coffees, sales, and the annual house- party completed a full schedule of events for the year. The activities for this year were under the leader- ship of: Barbara Rice, President; Nancy Simmons, Vice-President; Carol Wolverton, Recording Secre- tary; Lilian Bobcik, Corresponding Secretary; and Paula Sager, Treasurer. Sponsors were Mrs. Theodore Carlson and Mrs. Willis Dunbar. 202 ' Jungle Rhythm ' was the theme of Tri-Sig ' s Fresh- man Carnival concession and won them the coveted first prize.

In February, 1955 Alpha Pi Beta, a local sorority on Western ' s campus, became affiliated with this national sorority. The affiliation brought a flurry of social actiyities con- nected with the installation of a new chapter. The girls all agreed there is something yen exciting and thrilling about being a charter member of a new- chapter. This fall found the girls actively participating in all the various Greek actiyities. Homecoming actiyities for Theta Upsilon included a float in the parade and an alumnae coffee and in order to support their national philanthropic project, the Theta Upsilon ' s sponsored a dance. Spring actiyities were centered around a luncheon for Moms on their weekend and participated in Greek week. The annual houseparty concluded the Theta Upsilon ' s busy year. Officers for the year were: Barbara Brye, president; Gloria Wise, vice-president; Deloris Crittenden, sec- retary; Mavis Berry, treasurer. Sponsors were: Mrs. Paul V. Sangren and Mrs. Robert Ring.

The Council is composed of two representatives from each sorority and faculty sponsors, and one sponsor from City Panhellenic Council. The council coordinates some sorority activities, regulates others, and cooperates with the Inter-Fraternity Council in sponsoring Greek Week ' . Sororities and the Council are responsible to the Student Activities Committee through their Sub- Committee. The Council meets every Thursday at four o ' clock in the afternoon in the Panhellenic House on the East Campus. Officers for this year are Doris Anne Over- stedt, President; Man Alice Lugar, Vice-President; Marilyn Hamilton, Secretarv; and Carole Gierman, Treasurer. Sponsors for the council are Miss Elizabeth Lichty, Mrs. Catherine Chapman and Miss Man Ellen Read. ' 205 The Inter-fraternity Council is the governing bodv of Western ' s eight fraternities. The representatives from the individual social fraternities meet weekly to advise and govern the affairs of the organizations separately, and to work together on mass projects. Together with the Panhellenic Council, IFC staged the gala fifth annual Greek Week. It is at this time that fraternities and sororities combine to com- pete and participate in daily events. The Council also directed freshman convocation, mass rush each semester, and had charge of the homecoming queen contest. D. Ned Hovater served as this year ' s president, Al Voelker was Vice President, Don Brems, Secretary, and Ron Kopicko, treasurer. Growing in strength in accordance with the Greek movement on campus, the IFC proves itself to be a valuable contributor to ideas and activities at Western.

The members of this organization can well boast of it ' s achievements both in past years and present times. Since KAP ' s inception eight years ago the brothers have consistently contributed outstanding performers to Western ' s Varsity Teams. Add to this their ex- cellent record of participation in intramural sports and the Greek week games and you can well see how active the KAP ' s are. The Homecoming activi- ties and their own dance along with a frantic pledging season are also things which do not escape their eyes. President of the group this year was Grover Dot- son; Gerald Benford was Vice-President; while Phillip Loving and James Walker filled the offices of Secre- tary and Treasurer. Sponsor for the brothers was Mr. L. O. Baker. KAPA ALHA PSI Row I, left to right; Grover Dotson, Gerald Benford. Row 2; Robert Nichols, Phillip Loving, Walter Owens and Mr. Lee O. Baker, sponsor.

Organized in 1950 as Sigma Alpha Delta, they are completing their first year as Delta Chi, having affiliated nationally in January, 1955. Their purpose is to encourage a high scholastic average and promote a well-rounded social program. Delta Chi ' s major project at present is their new house, which thev are renovating to provide facilities to house every member of the fraternity. Four floors of space are available and are quickly being put into shape through cooperation of the entire group. Social functions are also an important aspect of fraternity life, and Delta Chi certainly provides a varied and interesting program. Their Christmas formal is one of the highlights of the school ' s social functions. Parties with sororities, acting as host for A.W.S., pledge formals and banquets, and serenad- ing sweethearts round out their well-filled social program. Officers for the year were: James Bovd, President; Eugene Wallace, Vice President; Jack Humphries, Recording Secretary, Tom Fricke, Corresponding Secretary, Dick Sandel, Treasurer; Don Yardly, Sergeant-at-Arms; Bob Wathen, Social Chairman. Sponsors for the year were Fred Hoag and Frank Savage. 208 Vivacious queen, animated octupus and Delta Chi s ingenuity gave us The Lost City for Homecoming. lj 3sr B i They honored Joan Randall with a serenade Fore!

Their aims are to provide their brothers with a well rounded college life and a look at their agenda will bear this out. Competition in intra-mural sports, where thev are alwavs high in the standings, plus a very real and avid interest in student government only begin two of their manv activities. Social affairs include, banquets, parties, closed dances, serenading and the very popular Carnation Ball, a high spot on Western ' s social DELTA SIGMA PHI calendar. The Greek week and Homecoming activities are also places where the Delt Sigs are well known The fraternity scholarship race is not ignored either and plays a most important part in a brother ' s college life. A bus schedule certainly but the men in Green and White are up to it. Officers for this year were: Don Hoyt, President; Dave Sinclair, First Vice-President; Jerry Roach, Second Vice-President; Duane Varner, Secretary; and Wes Knapper, Treasurer.

From 1951 until November 19, 1955, the organization was known as the Sigma Epsilon. A banquet-dance followed their initiation into the ranks of Sigma Phi Epsilon, third largest fraternitv in the U. S. Even with all the preparations that had to be made for this event, the Sig Eps still found time to take prizes in both float and lawn displays during the Homecoming festivities. Social functions for the year included the annual Heartbeat ' ' dance, sorority parties, serenades along with numerous closed dinners and dances. Officers for the year were Donald Button, Pres.; Bill Purdv, Vice-Pres.; Jerrv James, Treasurer; Dick Bloomfield, Secretary: Larrv Johnson, House Manager.

John Mills handed over the president ' s gavel to Richard Reed at mid year. Other new officers in- stalled at that time were: Jim Slis, vice-president; Dick Trudell, secretary; Fred Wood, historian; Chuck Mattheeussen, chaplain; Ron Preston, treasurer; Dave Budde, pledge trainer; and Don Fink, sergeant-at- arms. A Christmas party with children from the juvenile home was again held this year at the chapter house and something new was added when the Tekes had a pizza party for members and their dates. For the second consecutive year, the men of Tau Kappa Epsilon captured the IFC Sing Trophy. Sponsors for the past year were Dr. William Van- Deventer and Dr. G. G. Mallinson. Housemother ' s duties were carried out by Mrs. Thera Garvison. 216 Buddy Morrow is presented a check for the March of Dimes by TKE Dick Reed. Mr. Morrow was a dinner guest of the Tekes prior to the Battle of Bands benefit. Tip A TKE was the theme of the Tau Kappa Epsilon booth at the Snow Carnival Fun Fair. Greek Week brought the caveman out of local Tekes for their Skit Night endeavor. 217 March 24 was the day when the old Zeta Delta Epsilon fraternity changed its name and became the 72nd chapter of Delta Upsilon. Delta Upsilon, founded in 1834, is the oldest Fraternity in the United States stressing the idea of non-secrecy. The aims of the fraternity are to pro- mote friendship, the development of character, the diffusion of liberal culture, and the advancement of justice. The oldest dance on campus, the Sweetheart Ball, and the annual Variety Night program are the Delta Upsilon ' s contributions to the social calendar. Fraternity functions include the annual steak and mush dinner, the semi-annual pledge banquets. Home- coming and Cotillion banquets, and frequent parties with the sororities. Officers for the latest national on campus and the oldest fraternity on South Street are: John Sam- czyk, President; Charles Krupp, Vice-president; Gary Scoville, Secretary; Don Lightfoot, Treasurer; and John Bugenske, House Manager.

The Phi Sigma Epsilon Colony was introduced at Western Michigan College in the spring of 1955 and a year later, February 18, 1956, the Phi Gamma chapter of the forty-six year old national was installed here. Yes, thirty-two young men will remember the Satur- day when formal installation of their fraternity took place. A banquet followed with such guest speakers as Dean Smith and officers from the national and other fraternities on campus. A dance at the Burdick Hotel climaxed the memorable day. This very enthusiastic and determined group is dedicated to promoting a closer bond among men stu- dents of higher educational institutions, so that thev might enter into more intimate fellowship with those dedicated to education. Now that Phi Sigma Epsilon is officially national, the men of Phi Gamma chapter are putting their big plans into action with a semi-formal dance in the spring and a national conclave the next year. Elected to the big task of leading this new organi- zation were William E. Wright, President; Wayne Van Remortel, Vice-President; Larry Lancaster, Re- cording Secretary; Wilmer Koster, Treasurer; and Charles Burkett, Corresponding Secretary. Dr. Edward O.

BRENNAN 1930-1955 JnJti enwnam Not all our memories of 1955-1956 at Western will be pleasant for toward the end of the first semester, news came of the death of Bob Brennan, pre-law student. Bob was a native of Chicago and Oak Park and came to Western as a veteran with a commendable record. While serving in Korea, he received a Certifi- cate of Achievement For Meritorious Service in connection with military operation against an armed enemv in Korea ... He was also awarded the Meritorious Service Medal, the Presidential Unit Citation with two oak leaf clusters, the Combat Infantry Badge, the Army of Occupation Japan, the Korean Service Medal with three bronze stars, the United Service Medal and the Sigmund Rhee Medal. His record here on campus was also commendable. He was active in the organization of the Western Vets and served as its president up to the time of his death. He was also a member of the Zeta Delta Epsi- lon fraternity. 221 Jjoo ' dij exercise, when compulsory, does no harm to the dooij . . . Plato Athletics Row One: M. J. Gary, William V. Weber. C. B.

Coach Jack Petoskey ' s varsity footballers fought a hard uphill battle through the 1955 grid season. What looked to be a promising season at the begin- ning proved not quite enough to buck the tough and more experienced teams which played the Broncos. Injuries to key players over the season proved the crippling blow to coach Petoskey and the Western gridders. Western had counted heavily on quarterback Jerry Ganzel to lead a group of young and com- paratively inexperienced sophomore backs but Ganzel suffered a severe knee injury in the opening game against Great Lakes and never returned to top form throughout the remaining games. 228 Western 13 Great Lakes 13 Western 12 Central Michigan 27 Western Bowling Green 35 Western Marshall 28 Western Toledo 6 Western 14 Ohio 40 Western 13 Western Reserve Western 14 Kent State 25 Western 14 Washington 26 Head Coach Jack Petoskey shows he can still smile although having a rough season for 55. Co-captains Ganzel and Devine talk it over during a break in practice sessions. 229 from behind VARSITY Shift) halfback Bud Breed, another veteran, was also looked on as a key man in Western ' s ground attack, but he was struck down about halfwa) ' through the season and was hampered by injuries throughout the last month of play. This left much of the run- ning load to be carried by fullback Chuck Nidiffer and halfbacks Bob Long and Dave Lillie. Three were many bright spots too, for Western football fans. Linemen Jimmy Walker and co-captain Jim Devine were stalwarts in a tough Bronco forward wall opening holes for Bronco backs and stopping the menancing charges of the opposing backfields. Ironically enough, Western ' s lone win during the season came over a team which had previously been unbeaten. This feat came about in a 13 to white- washing of Western Reserve. The only tie of the season came against Great Lakes in the season opener, 13 to 13. Barnhill unleashes a pass good for a needed gain against Washington University. 230 Spring session saw the Bronco herd stampeding unto the practice field where they started their conditioning for the coming season.

The 1955 winners of the Western special football awards were Roman Juzwiak, Kalamazoo, who re- ceived the Most Improved Player Award and Charles Nidiffer of South Bend, who received the Most Valuable Plaver Award. Other letter winners on the Western Varsity were; Edward Anderson, Jerry Austin, Richard Barnhill, John Berrvman, Lawrence Bonifield, Paul Bos, Buryl Breed, John Chalapis, Thomas Czyz, James Devine, Jerome Ganzel, Duane Gebbon, Robert Geiger, Robert Long, Robert Mason, Don McMann, Patrick Soder- man, Robert Stevens, James Walker, Michael Wooden, Richard Zimmerman, and managers; Charles Beadles, Eugene Jakubiak and William Furstanaw. Talk about being smothered! One can only wonder how the luckless Washington ball-carrier feels who is hidden beneath this pileup. 232 Bronco grid followers can look for more promising things in the fall as Coach Petoskev expects to bring up quite a bit of good material from a promising Freshman squad who turned in a winning season. With the forming of the Bronco Booster Club, an organization which has contact with more than twenty thousand Western alumni, we can except bigger and better things in the coming years of sports here on Western ' s growing campus. And anyone, including coach Petoskev, will probablv give you good odds that the Bronco football future will grow and progress with the school. Bob Soderman turns in a beautiful tackle on University player as he skirts Western ' s leftend. a Washington r?K Ti, i J I ' Here ' s a good view of Western ' s stands as a huge crowd turns out for the season opener against Great Lakes. And the opener gave the fans a thrilling encounter which saw the Broncos knot the score against a powerful Great Lakes squad. 233 VARSITY There was plenty of action behind the scenes too at the Stadium. Head trainer, Ed Gabel was kept busy at the training table as bruises and hard bumps were plentiful. The Bronco ' s training staff proved time and again the value of experienced and com- petent trainers to insure the good health and con- dition of the plavers. Another group, usually pushed behind the scene, is Western ' s highly rated marching band. These flashy brown and gold marchers bolstered the team ' s morale and gave the students and other spectators some truly fine half-time shows throughout the football season. Ed Gabel is shown here in one of his familiar roles, taping up a bruised muscle. Here the band displays the big ' W and it ' s framed too! This was often the remark made by Western students after a narrow defeat. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL Row I: Ritchie, Avers, Courville, Krieger, Zook, Gotting, Frailt, Karpinslci (Capt.), J. Watkinson, W.

The Homecoming festivities for 1955 proved to be a great success with dancing at the Sock Hop amid a turmoil of lost shoes and endless, unwavering lineups of entering and exiting dancers to the more serene and orderly Homecoming Dance; a good football game which saw our Broncos taste defeat but brightened by sunn) skies and a enjoyable parade; and endless parties and reunions with the grads, Greek brothers and sisters and old and new classmates. 236 The Zeta Delts ' prize winning ■float was the humorous whale with the tux and the big smile.

The Bronco harriers, under the able tutelage of Coach George Dales, completed a very successful season winning five dual meets and losing but two. Led by Co-captains Bill Pyle and Byron Skinner, the varsity harriers rolled through a very pleasing season topped only by Miami in the final Mid-American conference standings and run- ning second to a powerful Miami team in the MAC meet held in Kalamazoo. The Broncos were again a close runner-up, behind Notre Dame, in the Central Collegiate. The NCAA meet found the Dales aggrega- tion landing a very respectable eighth place in sub- freezing temperatures. This, incidentally, is the highest place ever won by a Western cross country squad com- peting in NCAA.

For Coach Hoy, this past season will be remembered as probably the most successful that the Bronco coach has had since he began as Western ' s regluar basket- ball mentor. His nucleus of seven men, were the stalwarts of a well-balanced attack. Such players as Fred Corbus, Bob Diment, Jack Smith, Roger Neu- raan, Jerry Mitchell, Al Barkelev and Larry Pedracine formed the Core ' ' of the Bronco ' s scoring punch and tight defensive play that was characteristic in man) ' of the games played throughout the season. It was an especially memorable year for forward Jack Smith. The 6 ' 5 Junior from Grosse Pointe suddenlv found the range after the season was underway, and turned out to be a scoring demon for the Broncs. His 445 points is a new seasonal record here, as is his game average of 20.2 points. His single game high of 37 points against Great Lakes broke Hal Stacy ' s mark of 35 made a year ago. Jerry Mitchell lays one up for a quick two pointer. Barkeley goes up for a shot against Marshall but is out of bounds A forward pass by Detroit Tech seems good for plenty of yardage. This is basketball? 245 Alan Barlceley Jerry Mitchell Robert Diment Jack Smith 246 Fred Corbus VARSITY BASKETBALL Western ' s employment of the fast break wouldn ' t have been much without the services of guard Jerry Mitchell, whose playmaking ability and occasional long shot were instrumental in the Bronco attack. The return of Bob Diment from the service added con- siderable scoring punch during the first half of the season, and although the blonde forward slumped somewhat toward the end of the year, he rates an applause for a good, all-around performance. Roger Neuman provided the fire which often brought the Broncos from behind, helping them to win many ball games. Some of the better team showings through the past season were against Marshall, the MAC champion, when the Broncos surprised the West Virginians with an 80 to 70 upset on Western ' s floor. Other high- lights were provided in wins over Northwestern, Miami, Valparaiso, Loyola of Chicago, and Great Lakes.

Besides single wins over Marshall and Miami, Bronco victims in- cluded Bowling Green, Ohio twice, Kent State, and Toledo. One of the real big accomplishments for the Hoymen this season was a prized 72 to 67 win over Northwestern in the second game of the season. Nominated to the all-conference second team were forward Bob Diment and center Fred Corbus. Lost to the team for the next year will be Corbus, Diment, Len Eason, and Al Barkeley, but with several good prospects coming-up from the Frosh squad of the past season, and the return of four other veterans, chances for another successful season for Coach Hoy ' s charges look very promising.

FRESHMAN BASKETBALL Under the able tutelage of Coach Tom Slaughter, the Freshman basketball squad compiled an impressive record of seven wins against just four losses. Sprinkled with an ample balance of height and speed, the frosh could claim victories over such reputable foes as the Toledo and Valparaiso J. V. teams. Coach Slaughter ' s outfit reach the century mark twice during the season, in whipping the Hope J. Vs., 100 to 33, and in downing the Grand Rapids Calvin J.V. squad, 104 to 79. Ed Blair, a River Rouge product, compiled 100 points in the final five games of the season to lead the team with a 20 point average. Captain-elect Laverne Brown of Scotville was the season ' s high scorer however, with 176 points in 11 games for an average of 16 per game. 250 Baseball . • , i £ ST i ; H V ' ' JW3H :HiC i : fciCS I Row I, I. to r: Coach Charlie Maher, A!

They walloped Ohio State and Alma for District Championship and then went on to Omaha and the College World Series. There is much to be said about the 1955 edition of the Western Michigan College diamond squad. First of all, it is only fitting that a tribute be paid to the team ' s coach, Charley Maher. Here is a man who, being taught in the old school of Baseball technology, has continually built his teams year after year on the idea that you must have complete balance to have a winning ball club. He look ' s for the fielder as well as the hitter. Maher ' s ' 55 team had a pretty good dosage of both. His outfield of Nagel, Lajoie, and Johnson was rated as the best in college ranks last year by sportswriters all over the country. His infield was young and inexperienced, but like any Maher-coached infield, all it needed was a little time, and it would develop into a solid defense against enemy grounders and line drives. 252 Shown here is the Western pitching staff that rocketed the Broncos through their most successful season.

Maher ' s pitching staff was built around such capa- ble hurlers as Roger Schwartzkoff, southpaw Gary Graham and Roger Eggers, with such men as Jim Smith, Gene Frechette and Don Finnefrock standing by to help when needed. This crew of six hurlers combined efforts for an over-all seasonal and tourna- ment record of 21 wins against just four losses. Schwartzkoff and Graham together mustered 15 of those victories, Roger tallying eight and Gary pulling down seven. Western over the years has proved to be a formid- able opponent for Big 10 teams, and this past season was no exception. Coach Maher ' s aggregation amassed a total of nine victories over Big 10 schools over the year, including four wins over Conference champion Ohio State, two of which were in NCAA tournament play. Other Midwestern victims included Iowa, shaded 1 to 0, Wisconsin, beaten twice, Michigan once, and a comeback 15 to 10 decision over Notre Dame, in which the Broncs wiped away a 8 to deficit to win in 13 innings. 255 Freed Messner scampers across the plate in the game against Alma during the District Playoffs.

Another interesting note is the number of Ail- American mentions gained b the Bronco team. Bill Lajoie and Gary Graham were both solid selections on college Ail-Americans, while Nagel and Lajoie were unanimous selections on the Mid-American con- ference team.

The opposition was provided by Grand Rapids Calvin, G. R. Junior College, Flint J. C, Henry Ford Commu- nity College and Central Michigan. The only loss of the season came in the tail end of a doubleheader with Cent ral ' s Chippewas. Jack Rumohr, Tom Goldsberry, Bill Blackwell, Fran Kruszka and Bill Waun were the backbone of a fine pitching staff. Top infielders included Dave Robertson, Pat Dawson, Don Stiffler, Jim Heidenreich and Bob Mason. Behind the plate Tom McClanahan and Dick Smith shared the duties.

Western ' s track team came through with another impressive season in 1955 under the capable tutelage of Coach George Dales. The thinclads rounded into form slowly during the indoor season as they dropped close dual meets to Central Michigan and Marquette. However, they bounced back to finish second behind a powerful M.S.U. team in a triangular meet at East Lansing. Michigan State rolled up 92l points to 49-5 6 for the Broncos, while Northwestern was a distant third with 33-1 6. In their last scheduled meet of the indoor season they swept to an easy win in a triangular meet with Chicago and Bradley, piling up 621 7 points to Chicago ' s 42 and Bradley ' s 251 2- The squad then traveled to South Bend where they finished third in the third annual Central Col- legiate Conference Indoor Championships. The meet was won by the host school, Notre Dame, with 551 2 points. Michigan Normal was second with 311 7, Western third with 26, Marquette fourth with 251 2, while Drake, Central Michigan, Bradley, and Wayne rounded out the entries. 260 Once out under the bright sunlight the Broncos started clicking. They ran away from Ball State, piling up 88 points to the Hoosiers 39. The} celebrated that victory by tromping Purdue 76-53. One week later the Broncos made it three in a row by edging Central Michigan 63-59, thus avenging an indoor defeat at the hands of the Chippewas. Western ' s next outing was a dual meet with a strong Marquette squad, in which the Broncos suffered a close 62-60 defeat. This loss was followed by an 84 ' 3 — 57- 3 defeat administer- ed by Miami of Ohio, who is beginning to make a habit of winning the Mid-American Conference Meet. However, Western bounced back to win the last tri- angular meet of the season, scoring 70 points to better Bowling Green ' s 581 4 and Cincinnati ' s 26%. The Broncos went on to show fairly well in both Drake and Ohio Relays, before competing in the M.A.C. track meet. The one mile relay team which placed third in the Chicago Daily News Relays included John MacKenzie, Dick Wedel and Byron Skinner standing; and Don Richard and John Hudson, bottom. The 1956 two mile relay team is pictured here and consists of Don Richard, Bill Pyle, John MacKenzie and Byron Skinner. 261 VARSITY TRACK In the M.A.C. meet the Broncos finished strong second with 73 points, as compared to Miami ' s 85 1 ). Bowling Green was third with 44i 2 points, followed by Ohio U., Western Reserve, Kent State, and Marshall, in that order. Two new records were set during the season: one by John MacKenzie, who ran the half-mile in 1:54.6 (this is also a Mid-American Conference record), and by Len Eason, who put the shot 48 feet 8 inches for a new school record. John Hudson also ran brilliantly in the short dashes, piling up many points. He also won the 60 yard dash in the Indoor Michigan A.A.U. meet and the C.C.C. meet at South Bend, and won the 50 yard dash in the Cleveland Knights of Columbus meet. The mile relay team, composed of Byron Skinner, Bob Bailey, John MacKenzie, and Val Eichenlaub, also took a first in the C.C.C. pole vault championship by soaring 13 feet four inches.

VARSITY TENNIS Western ' s tennis team came up with another astounding year in 1955 as they dropped only two matches out of sixteen. One of the losses was to a strong Michigan squad bv the score, 5-4. The other administered bv Tulane University led bv one of the top seeded amateurs in the country, Ham Richard- son. Coach Ray Sorensen had an excellent squad to work with including three men of number one ' cali- ber Ed Foster, Jim Farrell and Jack Vredevelt. The squad boasted an amazing 86-9 singles record and a doubles record of 76-14. Included in these victories were ten shutouts over such powers as Vanderbilt, Detroit University, Cincinnati and Notre Dame. Jim Farrell shared the Number One spot dur- ing 1955. 264 In the Mid-American Conference Meet held on the campus of Ohio University, the Bronco Netmen did equally well as they rolled over the other squads into first place with 17 points followed by Miami with 13. Marshall and Bowling Green were in a distant tie for third with three points each.

CHEERLEADERS Here the cheerleaders give a sample of their brand of physical support which they give at the varsity games. The Bronco Cheerleaders have had a successful season. They didn ' t lose a game! The athletic board presented each member with a new monogramed sweater. To complete the uniform, each girl was given new tennis shoes. Western ' s student body contributed a few more stronger voices. As the season progressed, the Bronco athletes were bolstered to greater heights by many faithful supporters in the grandstands. An attempt was made to give Western a card section. This plan was defeated by the stronger battle of the suitcases. The new cheerleaders are chosen at a published date set during the spring. They are judged by an appointment board, consisting of Mr. Robert Trader and two campus representatives (usually the Presi- dents of Men ' s Union and Student Council). Awards are given to those cheerleaders meriting them, at the close of the year. 268 Volleyball is but one of the active sports taught and practiced in the physical education department. Here the men learn the fundamentals of the game. ■MEN ' S PHYSICAL EDUCATION Balance, strength and agility come in handy on the gruelling horizontal bars. Here physical education majors and minors learn the basic exercises on the bars. 269 Physical education majors and minors ex- perience various exercises in the men ' s gym such as the trampolene, horizontal bar, the rings and playing badminton. Balance, strength and coordination are employed exercising on the rings. ■MEN ' S PHYSICAL EDUCATION The Physical Education Department at Western is responsible for the general physical education pro- gram for all male students. All male students not engaged in The ROTC unit are required to secure three semester hours in physical education. General physical education classes cover most in- door and outdoor sports giving a wide variety of exercises and general knowledge concerning various gym, field and track sports. Majors and minors in this department are, of course, given much more specialized courses including the fundamentals of the sport the) wish to teach and a wide variety of physical exercises and games that could be used in teaching physical education. 270 The Women ' s Physical Education Program at Western supplies all female students with the neces- sary physical exercise to enable them to be more phys- ically fit and able to live a healthier life while at school. Building a strong body aids the building of an alert mind. Women going into the teaching profession especially those interested in the physical education field are supplied with information which the) will use in planning a physical education program for the students in the schools where they will eventually teach. The health, educational, and recreational aspects of physical education are all considered in providing instruction in all types of sports, both individual and team catagories. -WOMEN ' S PHYSICAL EDUCATION Badminton is one of the more popular games during the many physical education classes. Here several students are learning the fundamentals of the game in the women ' s gym. Women ' s Physical Education Tennis Team. Front L. to r: Phyllis Faunce and Pat Nelson.

Such exercises as these tend to give more grace, poise and balance. WOMEN ' S PHYSICAL EDUCATION- Badminton, tennis, volleyball, gymnastics and golf are but a few of the games and exercises experienced in the various physical education classes. The girls are introduced to the fundamentals of the games and then instructed more fully by observation, super- vision and the actual participation. All majors and minors participate in special courses designed to give them more detailed information and experience in the instructing of special games and sports as well as a well-rounded general course. Warm weather brings the girls out of doors tor classes and special instructions in outdoor sports.

Assemblies, that something extra that rounds out a college education, were highly diversified this year thanks to the efforts of the assembly com- mittee. Among the programs students savoured a tasting of ballet, of theatre, and of foreign affairs. The schedule of programs began with the visits paid us by Brigadier General Claude Dewhurst who spoke on coexistence. Other lectures to follow were Books on Profile with Virginia Peterson and The Russian Problem with Louis Fischer. The dance came to us with the Stone-Camryn Ballet Company of Chicago and their highly ori- ginal program centered around the choreographical interpretation of The Shooting of Dan McGrew. 276 The theatre made two contributions to the fare of assembly programs by bringing to campus the Dublin Players ' production of Shaw ' s Pygmalion and Two ' s A Company, an interpretive reading pro- gram with Edith Atwater and Albert Dekker. Members of the assembly committee were: Mr. Frank Householder, Dr. Zack York, Dr. George Bradley, Miss Alice Le Fevre Carolyn Fox, Jim Bowen, Pete Cooper, Pat Mastej, and Pat Arnold. Mr. Thomas Null served as chairman. Brigadier General Claude Dewhurst visited us in October.

Very few weekends pass but what several dances dominate the campus scene ... in fact when the dorms hold their formals, some five or six balls are going at once. Tradition singles out the Cotillion and the Homecoming Ball but the decision as to the most important dance is difficult to make. Dispersed between Homecoming in the Fall and Cotillion in the spring, the campus jumps to such dances as the J-Hop, the Topsy Turvy, Buttons and Bows, and a variety of others, each cleverly named. 280 Sigma Phi Epsilon instigated something new with their Heartbeat Dance this year . . of a sweetheart, a move they hope will become a tradition for them and the campus. the selection The men of Delta Upsilon are proud of their dance and its theme, The Sweetheart Ball, as is evidenced by their well-made decor. 281 BROWN AND GOLD FANTASIES We Are The Committee sings three of the stars in last years take-off on senatorial investigations. Members of this years ill-fated staff: Seated, Jim Malloy (later replaced by Katherine Szymczalc) and Carlene Marker, assistant student directors; Mr. Faber DeChaine, Faculty advisor. Standing, Max Steele, assistant business manager; Hubert Williams, busi- ness manager; and William Alexander, student director. Not present, Mrs. Marcella Faust man and Mr. Tom Fulton, both faculty advisors. 282 Still smiling after weeks of gruelling re- hearsal, the chorus line for last year ' s Sing- ing Saucers. Dress rehearsal . . . Singing Saucers . . . jitter-bug floorshow for the people of outer space. Four more members of this year ' s ill fated staff: Tom Richmond, musical director; Sherwood Snyder, designer; Carolyn Fox, choreographer; and Eleanor Crane, costumier. One of the highlights of the spring semester is the student written and student produced musical, the Brown And Gold Fantasies. The 1954-55 script, Singing Saucers, ' ' staged a cleverly satvrical Fantasies of flying saucers and senatorial investigations written by Robert Ryan. The curtain no more than lowered and work be- gan on this year ' s show. Soon the second semester was upon us and excitement mounted as the cast was selected, the music written and the settings designed . . . then politics reared its ugly head and the show folded. However, there is still a group on campus determined to keep the ten year old tradition alive for Western. v ' 2 3iti saw y 283 The delightful comedy The Second Man starred Lynn Salisbury, Sylvajean Hauch, Sherwood Snyder and CaroJyn Fox The Salem witchhunts provided the dramatic back- ground for The Crucible which starred (left to right} Jean Hartman, Patricia Atkins, Max Steele, Sherwood Snyder, Jim Starr and Jerry Halbert. Jerre Loclce sits on the upper level with Alma MacDonald. 284 DRAMA The 1955-56 theatre season opened with The Crucible, ' ' a highly intense drama centering around the Salem witch-hunts of 1692. Under the direction of Dr. Zack York, this production put the stamp of professional ' ' on Western ' s theatre. This stamp was again inked in reviewing Faber De Chaine ' s first directing chore for Western with the sophisticated and delightfully entertaining The Second Man. Having carried their audiences to the peak of theatre the department selected for their final production, The Lady Is Not For Burning , a brilliant Climax . . . thus marking the 1955-56 season as one of the campus theatre ' s greatest. Directors Dr. Zack York and Mr. Faber De Chaine check last minute details. Christopher Fry ' s The Lady ' s Not For Burning featured Dorothy Coyne, Robert Barrett, Thomas Cassidy, Lynn Salisbury, Douglas Andrews, Donald Bozarth, Peg Wallace, Herman Saitz, and Gay- anne Slye. 285 Center of student social life, Walwood Union, focal point of many extra-curricular activities If they ' re not in their rooms, they ' re probably taking a coffee break at the more than popular snack bar. 286 ft T Extra-curricular activities on campus have their focal point at the student union, most popular build- ing on campus soon to be replaced by the new on the west campus. Whether it ' s a cup of coffee, an organizational meeting, or just a gab session, the facilities of the union provide it . . . all jumbled with a juke-box background. Thela Upsiton turned the union ballroom into a scene of galty for their annual Heart Fund Dance. The Men ' s Union sponsored several lively open houses at the union during the year. 287 ■GREEK WEEK Dessert in abundance, ihe hilarious pie-eating contest. Greek God Dave Sam Spayde u The president ' s race, feature of the annual outing. A track meet proves the athletic skill of the Greeks on campus. 288 Mary Blandford, Greek Goddess 1955. The 1955 Greek Week celebrations held last May proved to be the annual highlight for Western ' s numerous modern era Grecians. The mythical gods of ancient Greece would have marveled at the mara- thon races, thrilled to the daring chariot riders, and applauded the daring boat racers, to say nothing of the unscheduled swimming competition. The entire celebration was complete with the choos- ing of a reigning god and goddess, picnic and ball games, races and pie eating contests, topped by the brilliant Greek ball. Moonlight on Mount Olympus ' , held in the Union Ballroom. The Delta Chis take a wide turn where an arrow should have been directing them shoreward while the natives (Delta Upsilon) shout encouragement? The TKES dash over the finish line in the chariot race held in Waldo Stadium to take first place. 289 BROWN and GOLD This is the forty-fifth edition of the Brown and Gold Yearbook, a tradition that has carried us from stately white pillars to cubistic towers. It represents hours and hours of work on the part of the staff, whose main objective has been to record the highlights of the 1955-56 school year at Western. This is a job that starts before the fall term opens and is not com- plete until students receive their personal copies. In fact, the initial steps for the forty-sixth Brown and Gold have already been taken. JOSEPH CRISLER, Business Manager SHERWOOD SNYDER.

The business staff constantly so- licits advertisements and worked out the budget. Photographers are sent out to capture campus high- lights on film, staff artists run through their routines, and reporters write and type furiously to meet the deadlines. These are the tasks that make the Ty House buzz from September to June. The work on one issue is no more than completed when the staff members busy themselves with the next publication. Between Fridays are many hours of hard, hard work . . . reporting, writing and re-writing, lay-out, picture taking and developing, typing, proof reading, and last minute additions (always a plague). And after the frenzy, the nervous tension, there comes that well deserved feeling of accomplishment to the entire staff when the) see the final results of their efforts in print. 292 Uncle Pete Cooper at the typewrit er giving out with some more campus revelations and Herald copy.
