B X I I B S i ' ' ■ ' I ION This Argo 1946 is for Miss Mary Eliza- beth Stewart, Professor of Modern Lan- guages at Westminster since 1921, and chair- man of her department smce 1929. We dedi- cate it to her because of the many things she has done for Westminster — because the Argo is nothing by itscli ; it is only some- thing when it becomes a part of the West- minster we are trying to help you remember. Miss Stewart graduated froin here in 1903, but she spent more time in school after college than before: at the Sorbonne in Paris, at Columbia University, at Middle- bury, and at the University of Pennsyl- vania. All the time, her studying was mixed up with her pleasure, because a study of languages involves so many other things than just grammar; for Miss Stewart it has included travel, and interesting friends, and many other things she will remember. And we, on our part, will remember her, when we leave, as a part of our college. FACUL I and CL ASSES . . . And we remember diFfereiit things, because not all of us spent afternoons in Office [- ractice Lab, or in Biology lab, I- ACTI n IRS a.ul ()R(;am A HONS . . . but we all remember that Akron battle, and we heard the Victory bell ring out after every home game, CAiWPMS LII 1: . . . and all of us went up to College hall, and to the Grill, or Isaly ' s, or the bakery. Some things are typical of every year — exams and 8 o ' clocks, and dozens of other things; but this year in particular we remember the flag fly- ing at half mast after the President died; sitting in Chapel on the morning of VH day; trying to get through the snow at Christmas vacation time; hearing the governor on Commencement day. o o :5 2 ■i—  ■ Argo 46 basketball 40-42 beauties 71-77 block W 43 campus life 78-89 campus views 9-13 cheerleaders 43 deans Jg faculty 17-20 fraternities 62-64 freshmen 34-37 Holcad 47 honoraries 56-58 juniors 25-29 little theater 48-49 music 51-53 Pi-exy , 16 quadrangle 60 radio workshop 50 religious groups 59 seniors 21-24 sophomores 30-33 sororities 65-70 student government 54-55 touch football 43 women ' s sports 44-45 C5 8 C5 r-v. r-v. i ' o I Our newest dortn — 1941 — is Robert Gracey Ferguson Iiall, over on the southwest of the Quadrangle. We ' ll remember teas and receptions in the lounge, and dinners in the dining room; studying in the upstairs lounges; meetings in the suites, and bull sessions; sitting out on the terrace in the spring; waiting tor the mail in the office, and signing out at night . . . 9 I IS I lallvvay up from Fcrgie to the library — Old Main up ahead. We could be going to an eight o ' clock, or uptown, or to the library — maybe just walking. Ju.st ahead, on the hl-irary steps, is the place wiiere this year ' s May Queen was crowned, and the May Pole dance was right liere, too, out on the campus. In the part of Old Main that ' s straight ahead is Prexy ' s office . . . there are many things here to remember. 10 it CHAPI:!, WINDOW This is the window just back of the Junior balcony in the Wallace Memorial Chapel. We remem- ber the light making the colors of the window beautiful, and we should remember the words on it, liie foundation of every state is the education of its youth. We remember it as one of the many things we like about our beautiful chapel. 1 1 This is tlic back of Science hall, the part facing Browne hall, and the hockey field. Most ot us have spent afternoons getting acid-stained, or cutting our fingers instead of the specunens. For Science majors, it is the most typical part of Westminster. It ' s one of the out-of-place buildings on the Quad- rangle, now, since the modernizing: it doesn ' t face the right way, and it isn ' t stone. But it ' s the most ivy-covered of all. 12 HILLS ; . ★ When it was first built, in 1886, our oldest dorm, Hillside, housed coeds. Later men lived here, and, when the navy cadets were on campus, we remember it as the LJSS Hillside. Now it s back where it started — housing sophomore women. We remember climbing the long hill, and how slippery it is in the winter; seeing the whole quadrangle down below us . . . 13 Profs and pupils . . . both were inissing, but both will be back when they can be. We noticed the effects: classes without fellows, a smaller faculty with places waiting for profs on leave . . . The routine was the same: eight o ' clocks and labs; and we still cut, and the profs cut, too. Classes are just part of the Westminster we ' re saving tor those who come back. a n cl Deans Stevenson and Orr, President Galbrcath With new faces m tlic administration tliis year, the faniihar Good morning of Prcw from liis office door is welcome indeed to the student who has troubles to tell or just a fev mmutes to talk o ei- the good old days. Dr. Robert F. Galbreath has completed another year of faithful service to us at school and to the hundreds of ex-Wcstminsterites in the service with whom he corresponds. Helping Prexy this year is Miss Mary Jane Stevenson. Westniinster graduate, 57, uho replaced Miss Mary H. Turner as dean of women. Dean Stevenson introduced many improvements m girls rules. As acting dean of the college, Dr. John Orr served wisely, in addition to teaching several courses in Bible. His cvcr-smiling face ancl short stocky figure were a familiar sight around his first floor office and morning chapel. THB , vCU i , 1 NEWS BUREAU A rush oi air — the click of a typewriter — a hurried telephone call or dash to the mailbox and one more college story is sent to a nearby newspaper by Michael Radcck, A. B., assistant professor of journalism and director of the News Bureau. Girl Friday is Beulah Mae Kimble, A. B., journalism instructor and assistant in the News Bu- reau. Out of this office piled with old news- papers, an addressograph, and filing cabi- nets comes Westminster s publicity material for use in students ' home town papers. Out of it, two, comes the Blue and White alumni magazine. Student assistants are Jean Brown, senior and Dick Beveridge, freshman. HISTORY Head of the department, Dr. Leon S. Marshall A. B., M. A., Ph. D., and pro- fessor of history, obtained a semester ' s leave of absence the last semester of this year to complete his book on Manchester, England. Replacing him for the second semester is Miss Alice K. Schuster, A. B., M. A., in- structor in history. Dr. Neil McNall, B. S., M. A., who re- ceived his doctor of philosophy degree in February, besides teaching history and so- ciology, took on the added burden of teach- ing a comparative survey of our Federal government to social studies and history majors. ENGLISH Nearly any day you ' ll find seniors nib- bling on the Freshman bait on the desk in the English office. Miss Katharine Shat- tuck, A. B., A. M., tells an advanced comp. student, It ' s idea that matters. Miss Martha Barnhill, A. B., A. M., is swamped by students with book reports. Mr. James Baker, A. B., A. M., rushes off to the li- brary to check the footnotes on investigative themes. In the inner office, Miss Mary M. Purdy A. B., A. M., Ph. D., efficiently tells her advisees what courses they need to grad- uate, how much sleep they need, and then shows them a picture of her adopted Bel- gian baby. Radock, Kimble Barnhill, Shattuck, Radock, Kimble, Baker, Purdy ART Arc has taken a major place on campus this year. Mr. Harold Brennan, A. B., A. M., can be found more often in the art laboratory on third floor Science Hall than he can in his office in the conservatory. Classes in interior decorating, in handicraft work, and in costume design have been added to the regular schedule of history of arc courses and sketching class. Mrs. Harold Brennan teaches the costume design course where coeds design their own clothes while learning the fundamental principles of design. Brennan LANGUAGES French teacher. Miss Hlizabeth Stewart, A. B., A. M., heads the modern language department. Her wide travels in France, Germany, and Switzerland make her knowl- edge of language study more complete. Mr. T. R. Wiley A. B., A. M., assistant professor of Spanish, intrigues his students with terse remarks about Mexico or Spain. Mr. Walter Bib erich, A. B., A. M., as- sistant professor of German, is an ordained Baptist minister. His classes are lively with songs, conversation, and informal discus- sion. Dr. Gilbert H. Taylor, A. B., Ph. D., takes care of the Greek and Latin, both languages and history, and is chairman of the department. Bibcrich, Stewart, Wile SCIENCE Science hall has noticed the effects of wartime more than most of the departments. To Its greatly diminished staff of four fell the job of teaching classes for lab and non- lab requirements and courses for science majors. Those who carried on the program were Edward Metcalf, A. B., A. M,. Ph. D., Ph. D., associate professor of biology professor of chemistry and chairman of the department; Donald C. Matthews, B. S., and acting chairman of the departments of biology and physics; James L. Stevenson, B. S., A. M., instructor in physics; and Charles E. Holley, Jr., A. B., Ph. D., as- sociate professor of chemistry, who left to do research work at Princeton University during the last semester. Matthews, Metcalf PSYCHOLOGY The feminine touch has been added this year to the psychology department located on the third floor of Old Main. Carrol H. Leeds, B. S., M. S., head of the department, is assisted by Miss Eva Goodcnough, B. S., M. S., and Miss Zelma Whittcnberg, A. B., a former member of the Woman ' s Army Corps. Early in the year this department is busy with freshman placement tests. Later comes practice ceaching, che senior s worry. This deparcment plays an important part in turning out future teachers. Goodenough, Leeds, Whittenberg SPEECH Good humored profs coupled with hard working students go to make up the speech department. Dr. A. T. Cordray, A. B., A. M., Ph. D., chairman of the department and director of Little Theatre, has a laugh that can be heard clear to the end of first floor Old Main. He loves Shakespeare, loves to recite it. Instructor Dcnald Barbc, A. B., assists Dr. Cordray, and makes the dramats really learn something in the work-laden labs on weekday afternoons. Acting, practicing, directing, writing skits, and classes all go to make the speech major a busy and accom- plished student. A MUSIC The conservatory, home of the music de- partment, is the scene of never ending .ac- tivity-classes in the morning, private lessons and practices for the many musical organi- zations every afternoon and early evening. Director of the Conservatory is Mr. Donald Cameron B. B., M. Ed., who teaches violin and theory and leads the college band and orchestra. Assistants are Miss Dorothy Kirkbride, A. B., B. M., M. A., professor of piano, music history, and counterpoint; Miss Ada Peabody, B. M., A. M., professor of music education and Girls Glee Club director; Mr. Alan B. Davis, professor of voice and the a cappella choir; Mr. Ludwig Lenel, M. A., professor of organ and chapel choir director; Mr. Dallmeyer Russell pro- fessor of piano; and part time instructors from the Youngstown Symphony Orches- tra. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Responsible for carrying out Wcstmin- ster s health and physical education program for freshmen and sophomores, are Mr. Grover C. Washabaugh, B. S., assistant pro- fessor and chairman of this department; Miss Donna Mae Pound, A. B., instructor in women ' s physical education; Mr. Melvin Hetzler, B. S., men ' s physical education in- structor, and Miss Helen Sittig, R. N., B. S.. instructor in health and assistant to the dean of women. Girls and fellows alike, who are physically fit, are drilled in calisthenics and march to the commands shouted from offsides. Vol- leyball, basketball, and mushball games teach each one team cooperation. SECRETARIAL SCIENCE Office practice labs, typing budgets and brief forms taken at 100 words a minute are scenes typical of the Secretarial Science department. Headed by Mr. Russell N. Cansler, B. S., L. L. B., M. A., the department trains pro- spective secretaries and commercial teachers in the most efficient business methods. Mr. Cansler teaches business mathematics, book- keeping, office practice, and shorthand, and is assisted in the department by Mr. Robert F. Galbreath, Jr., B. B. A., A. M., who instructs students in typing, business English, and office management. Miss Elsie L. Leffingwell, B. S., M. A., teaches office practice and helps freshmen and sopho- more students acquire the proper shorthand technique. Barbe, Cordray C.-mcron, Russell, Davis, Lenel, Kirkbride, Peabody Vv ' ashabaugh, Hetzler 1 Galbreath, Leffingwell, Cansler McKee, Brettholc, Graebner, Fv.ins Christy, Neale, Orr BUSINESS Across the hall from the Wallace Me- morial Chapel is located the Business De- partment of Westminster College. It func- tion under the capable leadership of Mr. Captain McKee A. B., A. M., who is a graduate of the Harvard School of Busi- ness Administration. Frank M. Brettholle, B. B. A., M. A., Business Manager and Westminster graduate, is a member of the department. Assistants to Mr. McKee are Mr. Herbert C. Graebner, B. S., M. B. A., and Miss Alona Evans, A. B., Ph. D., who replaced Mr. Enimett Davidson, a member of the department until late in February. BIBLE Juniors conducted classroom discussions on ethics and freshmen filed into the old and new testament classes two days a week Professor John Orr, A. B., M. A., B. D., Ph. D., chairman of the department and professor of both Bible and philosophy, served in a double capacity as temporary dean of the college this year. He was as- sisted by Mr. Wayne Christy, B. A., M. A., who was promoted from an instructor in Bible to an assistant professorship. Dr. Ralph Neale, A. B., B. D., D. D., minister of the local United Presbyterian church assisted as lecturer in Bible. MATHEMATICS With Dr. Harold L. Black, A. B., A. M., Ph. D., doing war research work in Phila- delph ia, Mrs. Wayne Christy is acting head of the Mathematics department. Miss Pa- tricia Jones, A. B., has taken over Dr. Black ' s classes. Since Mathematics is one of the courses specified for students plan- ning to enter the armed services, the be- ginning algebra classes are crowded with male students, who hope to become a Pfc. in a month. Advanced classes, however, are generally made up of women Mathe- matics majors. PUBLIC RELATIONS Prospective students and their parents meet him first — and are convinced through his friendly grin and warm personality that Westminster is the college just made for them. This job of keeping dormitories, halls, and classrooms filled with students falls to William A. Jchns, M. S., Director of Public Relations and Industrial Place- ment. Not only does Mr. Johns greet po- tential students visiting the campus but he travels to homes and high schools looking for new material. Selling the college isn ' t his only job. Mr. Johns also helps candidates for graduation in their search for post-graduation work. Johns tL e. President Jim Caruso; Vice President Bob Kennedy Back in the iall of 1941 the Class of ' 45 arrived on campus — about 200 of us — ready for what they call the best years of our life. We were so taken up in the whirl of activities — football games, decorating for homecoming, house parties — that even on Sunday, December 7, we didn ' t realize that from the moment of that radio an- nouncement our entire four years of college changed. If anyone had told us then that of that original number only about twenty of us would graduate at our regular June Commencement we would have laughed, but it ' s not so funny. We, who have been permitted to go ahead and be the Class of ' 45 want to remind you of some things. You remember all the big things about Westminster — all the sentimentality of the tower reflecting on sparkling snow, the green, green grass of spring, the yellows of fall, but there are some little things about us that we want to remember — Jinny Wolfe, our Ideal , Rube Racing With the Moon , Jimmy ' s sax, June Matherson ' s Oscar winning acting. Lefty ' s beard during comps. Hap and Tine, always together, Peggy and Paul, Nels as Student Council President — just little things that bring back big memories. 21 Bottom: Eleanor Berry.

The Junior class — we ' ve been proud of it ever since it hit Westminster. It ' s different now from its first year here — many have married, many are engaged, many are in the army and a few in the WAVES, some are working, even several of our fellows have been killed in the service. The junior balcony isn ' t as full now as it might have been. Even though several boys who left us are now back in school, we ' ll be graduated before most of our class- mates in the service return. We ' ve missed them, but we ' ve still had fun in our notorious Junior balcony; fun griping about themes and discussing sex ethics in Junior Bible; fun picking apples, and taking a large part in the presi- dential election convention. With the addition of summer school-ers and trans- fers, we ' ve done quite well in upholding our class reputa- tion. We have several editors — Holcad and Scrawl — many organization presidents and officers, and as is traditional, supply the queen and her court for the May day observances. All of which proves that we have beau- ties as well as brains. The Argo is also a Junior class production: Bottom: Harry K. Bell, Mnry Alsop, Marjorie Boles, Betty Arnold, Marjorie Beck, Marie Anawich; top: Helen Bird. Bea Farnsworth, the French major, is a Kappa Delt officer and a member of the women ' s A Cappella choir. You could find her ahnost any evening helping Mr. Thompson in the discharg- ing of his duties. Tall, artistic Marje Fleming can usually be counted on to show the campus some neat new clothes styles. Second floor Hillside can vouch for Frances Clark ' s abilities as a proctor, and Mary Lou Fair can be found any time by first search- ing for Norm. The accom- panying kid, and an accom- plished pianist in her own rights might be an apt title for music major Dotty Sue Boliver. She ' s great at entertaining the Fergu- son hall crowd before meals with her impromptu renditions. Dor- thea Brush aims at being a com- mercial teacher, but Doris Dietz, the petite, will either be active in radio or a swimming pool some- where. Although she can iiold her own in the water, her greatest ambition lies in the field of dramatics. The brains behind the Mer- maid pageant, R i p p 1 i n g Rhythm and twice winner of the Scrawl prize, is Margie Boles, as well as bemg feature editor of the Holcad. Her wit has livened many a dull afternoon. Mary Alsop is a key Holcad reporter, managing editor, and helps week- ly to whip up the publications which take much of Harry King Bell ' s time mailing to service men. Betty Arnold is new to us this year, having entered our class at semesters, but Marie Anavich ' s contralto voice is well known in the various college choirs, and Helen Bird ' s smile is familiar behind the library re- serve desk as she hands us our required-reading books. Mar- jorie Beck is the type who brings up class averages, much to the concern of any non-studiers en- rolled in the same course. She also has made contributions to several Scrawl editions. Bottom: Beatrice Farnsworth, Marjorie Fleming, Frances Clark, Mary Lou Fair, Dorothy Sue Boliver; top: Dorothea Brush, Doris Dietz. ( li e c I n I n e i e e H V 26 Music major Janet Floyd has shown her abiUties by training and directing the prize-winning singers m the Sing and Swing. Active in all the musical organ- izations, she also holds her own very well as a duet singer. She ' d like someday to be a combined choir director-gym teacher. Pat Ginn is easily distinguishable any rainy day as the girl-whose-hair- is-still-curly. Sig Ep prexy Don Haight is a representative of his class in Student Council, and is great as a jitter-bug. The Meth- odist Wesley Fellowship group banks on the abilities o f Ardel Herzog, who acts as its president. Judy Gordon is another Hol- cad worker — a news editor — and a member of the Scrawl staff, contributor of short stories and articles. Beverly Frye is new to Westminster this year, but, as a journalism major, has lost no time in becoming active on the campus publications. Janet Floyd, Patricia Ginn, Donald Beverly Frye. Emma Jean Lemon, Betty Langguth, Alice Lou Lancy, Nancy Jarrett, Jean Jardine. Haight, Ardel Herzog, Judy Gordon, Good-natured Lemmy Lem- mon would gladly lend a hand to any one who needed one. The commercial major is a member of her department ' s honorary, Alpha Iota. Ask commercial teaching aspirant Betty Langguth (or Boles) about her home town, Barberton, some day, and listen to her rave. Alice Lou Laney we proudly present to any and all as our choice for the 1945 May Queen. She is a business admin- istration major, and also a can- didate for Argo junior beauty queen. Nancy Jarrett, another talented musician and music ma- jor, also displayed her abilities as a model in the fashion show this year, as a representative of the Alpha Gam sorority. To find Jean Jardine, look almost any time in the Science hall, for labs take much of this chemistry ma- jor ' s time and trouble. She was recently tapped to Delta Nabla fraternity, the math honorory. t a 0 5 i n e : : 27 Bottom: Margaret McLane, Marion Moore, Virginia McConnell, Marion McNary, Barbara Miller; top: Helen Newhams, Eleanor McMichael. Jane Sheppard ' s voice has made her the feminine Sinatra of Westminster, and no program has been complete all year with- out a selection by her. As well as a voice, the music major has scholastic ability, and has been asked to join quite a few honor- aries. Excitable Betty Sheffler, active on the Holcad staff as a copy editor, helped make the formations in the water pageant as a member of Mermaids. She sings in the Women ' s A Cappella choir and was one of the prize- winning singers of the Sing and Swing. Ruth Stoehr, efficient editor of the Holcad for two years; member of Pi Delta Epsi- lon, the journalism honorary; member of Scroll, honorary Eng- lish society; and an active con- tributor to Scrawl, campus liter- ary magazine; is, of all things, and strangely enough, a history, Pud McLane was the editor of the spring issue of Scrawl, and has added the harmony to Janet ' s melody on many occasions. She, too, is a Holcad worker. Marion Moore, a business administration major, was recently tapped to Pi Delt, the journalism honorary; and Jinny McConnell, social studies major, was made adver- tising manager of the Holcad for ' 45 and ' 46. That proves their versatility. Marion McNary ' s vocal solos are well-known to all, and she also spends much of her time working in the YW and CE. She directs the junior choir at the U. P. church as well. The New Wilmington girl scouts all know Helen Newhams, for since her freshman year she has helped out with the local troop. Little Eleanor McMichael, social science major, is another type who helps raise the membership quota of honoraries. Her mail box is always full, too, to the cha- grin of empty mail box owners. not a journalism major. Jane Sheppard, Betty Sheffler, Kuih Stoehr. 28 Well known for licr active membership in so many organ- izations, Harriet Sarver might well be known as Westminster ' s busiest person. She has been called the most titled student, and her interests range from WAA presidency to dramatics Oscar winner. Billie Jean Seal ' s dancing ability and sense of humor are her outstanding traits. She and Waxi could show anyone some new dance steps. Jim Reed is one of our returned service men, having re- turned to school after receiving a medical discharge from the Navy. A commercial teacher, Snooks Roessing is an acceler- ated program participant, and joined our class at mid-semesters. Betty Jane Nickerson, a New Jerseyite, is a history major and an active member of IRC as well as several honoraries. Jean Ringer is president of Quad- rangle, local women ' s organiza- tion, this year. Zipper Pollock, modern version of a former stud- ent.

She ' s a member of WAA and isn ' t at all bad on the b a s k e tb a 1 1 floor. Secretarial science major, Mary C, or Waxi , Weatherwax, is the other half of the Seal-Waxi dancing duo, jitterbug experts. Izzy Ziegler was another member of Mermaids who helped out m the pageant, and is a department as- sistant to Mr. Galbreath. She, also, is a secretarial science ma- jor. Priscilla Wilson is froin New York and is interested in mod- ern languages. Ruth Wright, of student council. Delta Nabla, YW, CE, and a few more, is a well-known and active person around campus. Since she ' s mathematically inclined, she is majoring in the science of num- bers. f PI e Lu e k n 0 LV 0 i I e a i n e s ' s 29 Pauline Cochran, Donald Haight, Chris Wagner. Tills is it — we are Sophomores. The thoiiglit whirled swiftly in our minds. It even added a certain knowing air to our strolling on campus, to our Meet you at the Grill. We sauntered around, thought it would be differ- ent but nice to know what to major in, and noticed the freshmen. We began looking forward to Tribunal, to giving the freshmen the corn. And we gave them corn, but they, too, knew this was just another stop-ofF on their road to really belonging. We howled and talked about the same old things over potato chips and nickel cokes; danced to Robin Hood and Tippin In . But under- neath it all, there was a certain seriousness that no one talked about or even mentioned. It was there more than ever as one by one the fellows left for the service, when we heard of the President s death, and when we wrote that letter each night. It was there just under the surface gaiety of V-E Day — and perhaps most of all when we sat 111 the quiet church that night. The girls worked and Sceptre, sophomore women ' s honorary, was accepted as a chapter of the national fraternity, Cwens. Minute by minute the hours slipped into days and the time for saying goodbye to our sophomore year was now. So, we said, See you in September and then Gee, we re practically Juniors! 30 Elizabtth Bcutic, Esther Albaiicsc, Hdw.ud Aikcn, Gloria Albertson, Ann Babbitt.

Gradually we took our places on the campus — in sports, clubs, fraternities and sororities, chapel programs, and Little Theater. Our Hobo Party gave us a chance to work together as well as to establish our- selves as a class. During the first semester our number of boys decreased as dratt boards called and eighteenth birthdays came up; however, the ranks suellcd again when tlie second semester started.

(Pappy) Washabaugh, athletic director and head basketball coach, is known throughout the nation for his ability to send first class teams on the hardwood year after year. Washabaugh has been at Westminster since 1934, coming from Pittsburgh South, where his teams piled up records. The Titan mentor is one of the most super- stitious of the superstitious when it comes to sports.

Washabaugh is a firm believer in proper conditioning, and in late October his basketball men began a rough training schedule, with a survival of the fittest. Assisting Washabaugh is Mel Hetzler, who also handles men ' s gym classes and intra- mural sports. Tri-State basketball champions, the nation ' s highest scoring team, tallying 70.3 points per game, Westminster ' s Towering Titans finished the season with fourteen wins against five losses. The tall Titans opened the season on De- cember 5 against Slippery Rock Teachers at the Titan gym, and had little trouble disposing of their smaller foe 85-33. Al Bair, husky guard, led the Westminster scoring with 16 points. Coach Washabaugh started five freshmen against Oklahoma A. C M., and the new- comers led throughout the first half, only to drop behind at halftime, 18-17. The tall Oklahomians had little trouble moving away from the Titan veterans in the second half to score a 44-33 win in the huge Buffalo audi- torium. One week later, the Blue and White jour- neyed to Pittsburgh, meeting Carnegie Tech. The green Tartans made the evening very in- teresting, and rough, before dropping a nine point decision, 45-36. Fifteen hundred spectators jammed the Titan gym on December 19 to watch the Titans tangle with the University of Arkansas Razor- backs. The speedy Titans, paced by Joe Cy- pher ' s brilliant floor play, and the scoring of Noble Jorgensen and Al Bair with 19 and 16 pomts respectively, were too much for the high passing visitors from the South. The final score favoring the Titans 71-61. With Fritz Nagy, All-American forward, scoring 29 points, Akron University handed the Blue Wave their second loss of the year, 81-71, in the Ohio rubber capital. The Titans held a halftime 29-26 lead, but the hosts had things their own way in the final half. Bennett and Jorgensen scored 27 and 25 points re- spectively. The day after New Years, the Titans ran up their highest score for a single game, beating little Bethany College in the Bison bandbox 96-50. Mustaches and Latin lingo came to West- minster a week later in the person of the barn- storming University of Mexico team. Tin- little fellows were no match for the Titans, los- ing 81-39. In a thrill-packed ball game that saw the Titans come from way back, led by Joe Cypher and Jack Watkins, a couple of freshmen, Geneva was added to the growing list of vic- tims. The Titans, trailing at one time by 14 points, came on to win in the last 20 seconds, 72-68. Juniata was easily beaten 81-40 at Hunting- ton, Pa. Rube Bennett and Jorgensen sank the already hapless Redskins with their accu- rate shooting. Following the Pitt game at Farrell Dr. Carl- son, Panther coach, named the Titan team, the nation ' s best . It was the last game for Cypher and Watkins, both of whom left for the service, and Al Bair, who was to become ineligible. Passing and shooting like the great team they were, the Titans thrilled the 3300 fans who watched the game. It was 68-47 at the finish, but not even the score gave an idea of the Westminster superiority. Both Cypher and Watkins were acclaimed for their great play.

Following a two week layoff during semester exams, the Blue Wave defeated Bethany for the second time, Chris Wagner starred in the 78-49 win. Slippery Rock was also added to the list for the second time, Bennett and Jorgensen taking it out on the teachers in the 69-38 rout. Washabaugh took his draft shaken team East to meet Hamline ' s Pipers at Boston, and Bowl- in Green in Buffalo on the return home. The Titans came within eight points of the Pipers, losing 58-50. But the Bee-Gees, led by All- Americans Gray and Otten, 7 ' center, were too much for the Titans, winning 78-57. Deane Nelson starred in both contests. The Titans went to Pittsburgh on February 14, where the Panthers avenged the early sea- son setback by a 75-56 count. Dodo Can- terna, Pitt forward, scored 37 points. Follow- ing the Pitt debacle, the Blue and White, with an eye on the district crown, led by Bennett, Jorgensen, and Wagner, drubbed Tech and Jiuiiata both for a second time. In a do or-die battle, the Titans went to Beaver Falls to meet Geneva, and with the Covies bent on revenge, the game, like the first, was a battle. Westminster won in a last quarter rally, 75-69. Once again the Westminster gym was pack- ed to capacity as the Titans battled Akron ' s Zippers. Fritz Nagy, the Zipper ' s great for- ward, flipped 36 points, but it was the hectic last 30 seconds, when freshman Johnny Kash- lak scored five points and brought victory and a championship home, that sent the wild cheer- ing fans home happy. Veteran Block W lettermen were joined at the end of the basketball season by Joe Cypher, Jack Watkins, Dean Nelson, Johnny Kashlak, Bill Boyle, and Al Bair. The war cut the ranks quite thin and as a result the athletes of the campus were compara- tively inactive this year, cancelling their annual dance and crowning of Block W queen. Wagner, Bennett, Jorgensen, Fame. Bower. TOUCH 1 OO l li Al I In the absence of mter-collegiate football a touch football team was or- ganized to play out a six game sched- ule. Xenia Seminary of Pittsburgh, Grove City were beaten twice by the Hetzler-Christy combine. Only Geneva marred the record, holding the Titan touchers to a tie. That was later avenged when the Titans scored a 7-6 win at Beaver Falls.

A., Wesiminster girls ' sports organ- ization, has held an ever-active position on campus since its beginning in 1931. Requiring an accumulation of 100 points for participa- tion in one sport, a class average of C, and a passing grade in an initiation test for prospec- tive members, W. A. A. has approximately fifty girls in membership. Early year ' s activities included a hike to the college woods for all freshmen girls, followed with the regular all-girl hockey, volleyball, basketball and softball games, in addition to sponsoring sorority-independent tournaments. These all are an outstanding part of the organ- ization ' s year-round program. Opening in October, hockey games were scheduled for late afternoons throughout the week on the excellent field next to the science hall. Before chill winds sent us all inside, hockey sticks and pucks flew with vigor in the hands of such enthusiasts as Buzzy Radulovic and Oly Mae Wall. Possible knicked shins were saved by leather guards as eager freshmen in quest of points added to the fun. November brought the voUeyballs out, both for regular and prospective members and sorority-independent tournament enthusiasts. Feeling ran high as the tournament games got underway with such outstanding players as senior Jean Brown and sophomores Lu More- land and Ellie Silk. Such excellent teamwork gave the Theta U team the cup with many an easy win. January through March saw the gym busy every Wednesday and Friday as basketballs hit the bank board. With players like Helen Nicely, Ellen Hickmont, and Margo Gardner, the games took on an almost professional spirit. Then too, there was the team of Boles, Brown, King, Swanson, and Stewart that man- aged to clean up all their opposition. Another group including Stewart, Swanson, Fairley, Gaemon, Boyd, and King represented our W.A.A. at Edinborough. Ending the tournament with an all-basketball night in the gym. Independents challenged the champion Theta U team in a close game, while a selected W.A.A. team kept the faculty women busy. W.A.A. ' s penny carnival opened spring ' s activities as the whole college trooped to the conserv for a night of fortune-telling, guessing games, and dancing. Swimming being a favorite year-round sport, W.A.A. sponsored a meet in the college pool for two evenings. Shirley Nelson and Dee Dietz ' s diving, Betty Sheffler ' s relay racing, and Pat Ginn ' s underwater records gave the humidity of the air an even higher reading. Spring too, ushered in softball games in the late afternoons. Temperamental weather caused cancellation of many games, but eager softball favorites kept the bats and balls flying. A Tavern dinner in May brought activities to a close for W.A.A. s busy year, with a prom- ise for even more intensive sports next fall. A l R AIDS Formation for the Mermaids Water Pageant this spring. Adding pep to basketball games, the cheerleaders proved their worth on the hardwood this season.

Then we all stop for a breather as Boles relates her latest antic or re-enacts the daily short story. Things buzz again as Mary and Jo compare Titan Tattle-tale and Holcadabra for repeats; Shef counts out her headline, and Ruth, working on page make-up, demands order with the report that copy isn ' t coming as thick and fast as the conver- sation referring all to Advisor Radock ' s latest quip. Come eleven o ' clock and the staff begins to scatter. There ' s a hurried call for Beveridge ' s sports, and Ruth makes the midnight trip to the Globe office. Thursday evening catches late stories and details, while Friday afternoon sees the staff busy with proof at the Globe — another of Ruth ' s All-A mericans is ready.

Actors and actresses await nervously the yell of the call girl, on stage immediately, followed by Professor Donald L. Barbe ' s Lights, Places — Curtain. These are just a few scenes of backstage glamor. Little Theater began its season with three one acts, the first, Maker of Dreams, directed by Dr. Albert T. Cordray, starred Lynn Roemer as the poet, Pierrot, and his dream girl. Nancy Lewis, as Pierrette. Elizabeth Refuses, was di- rected by Mr. Barbe, and the final one act was Sparkin ' portraying mountaineer people typic- ally characterized by Helen b inlay as the tobacco chewing grannie. The World We Live I n, a satire on luun.ui nature, had animal characters. The cast was hard- ly recognizable, but we well remember Professor Barbe as the vagrant and the rest of the players as ants, beetles, butterflies, and crickets. Something new hit the stage this year when Dr. Cordray directed a staged reading, The Silver Cord, whose cast included June Matthew- son, Barbara Hoagland, Chuck Murray, Lorraine Brown, Bill Casement, and Jerry Gilbert. Climaxing the season was the double Cast play, Nine Girls, directed bv Mr. Barbe and assisted by Gladys Brown. Nine Girls held the audience in suspense through a thrilling murder enacted by college girls in a sorority cabin. Play production and hard work go hand in hand, and Little Theater members have worked and succeeded in presenting the college with one of Its finest seasons in the theater. i a 0 w 0 h.

TESTING-1-1-1 This is WRW bringing you a year of broadcasting, which includes originality shows, music, plays, and any other type of enter- tainment fit to be heard. The WRW gang will remember most of all Professor Barbe ' s futile radio signals in the con- trol room and using a flash light as a final resort. Then there was Lynn ' s sentimental record to Frank, and the programs for children that the Workshop presented with Peggy Newcomb lead- ing in Hickory Dickory Dock . Helpful John Wolford attempted to invent a set-up to wind record threads, but as yet he hasn ' t reached per- fection — maybe next year! With Professor Donald L. Barbe as Workshop director, the organization was begun in 1943 and since then many improvements have been made. The old music room of the Library is now made into a Radio Studio — complete with a sound proof control room. Here lies the scene for recorded weekly programs, such as the plays, K Rations and Turkey , Easter Play , and Sue ' s First Date . Assisting Director Barbe were Hilda McDowell, Lorraine Brown, and June Matthewson. Dr. A. T. Cordray, dramatic director, had Betty Womer and Virginia Williams assisting him. Music director for the year was Mr. Donald Cameron, head of the music department, assisted by Peggy New- comb. Miss Beulah Mae Kimble, journalism in- structor, served as script director with Doris Dietz, Gladys Brown, and Harriet Boozell as assistants. Other positions were: announcer, Lynn Roemer; technical assistants, Harriet Sarver and John Wol- ford; program assistants, Hilda McDowell and Lorraine Brown; and Doris Dietz in charge of Nev s. Speakers during the year were Miss Florence Sando, of Station WJAS, and Mr. Paul Gamble, program manager of WPIC, Sharon network. Band rehearses for record- ing: Mr. Donald Cameron directs. ? IP 1 1 t |l I Outsiders may look at the conservatory across the street as a queer place simply out of the world we live in, but once an alien has mounted those low, wide steps and crossed the large open porch to the door, he becomes an inseparable part of the music world, a fascinating, creative talented universe all its own. From the practice rooms all over the building come the unpatterned sounds of a raw musician smoothing out the edges with the help of one of the many able profs. But there is more to it than just classes, practicing, private lessons. Under the guidance of several of the teachers, these stu- dents of music have been molded into harmonious groups that have worked hard and long to make a name for Westminster ' s musicians. Miss Peabody ' s girls ' Glee Club practiced regu- larly in order to give their beautiful concert in May. The beautiful strains of Green Cathedral were heard quite often, since it was a favorite of the forty girls who coniprise the Glee club. Mary Weber and Jane Sheppard served as president during the year, with Marilyn Ashbaugh as secre- tary and Lucille Reno and Becky McKnight as librarians. Peggy Newcomb and Nancy Jarrett accompanied the girls in their varied selections. So many were the candidates for A capella clioir this year that Professor Davis had two di- visions. Mixed A capella and Women ' s A capella choir. In their May concert, each group gave its own program and then combined their ninety voices in the haunting Begin the Beguine . It was the Women ' s division that sang the lilting A Violin is Singing in the Streets . The most popular music group was the male quartet which went into full swing second semest- er when George Connor, member of the quartet two years ago, returned to school. This year ' s harmonizers included Howdy Edgar as first tenor, George as second tenor, John Wolford as bari- tone, and, as always, Jimmy Caruso as bass. They sang many places, both at school and out of town, but we will remember them most for the laughs they brought with their Big Brown Bear , and the tears that came silently with This is Worth Fighting For . The band in its blue and white uniforms was kept in trim shape by Mr. Cameron, although their only opportunities to really show what thev were working for came at our home basketball games. The peppy nmnbers and the clever twirling of Lu Moreland gave just the right spirit to that half-time pause to refresh us. The band concert was held on May 26 just before Commencement exercises. This year Miss Peabody organized a women ' s Music honorary Theta Gamma Mu, with eyes to a future as a national organization. These and many other things come to mind when the word music is linked v ith Vyestminster. Mr. Lenel ' s organ recital as the soft rain fell outside the open chapel windows; student recitals, and dorm rooms banked with roses the next day; Howdy Edgar and Peggy Pigman with their piano duets in chapel; the Alpha Sig If I Had my Way program; George Connor and Bill Dum- baugh soloing in morning chapel, and Jane Shep- pard reporting 150 solos in three years at Westmin- ter; The Swingtette ' s arrangement of Candy . Yes, It s music and Westminster, always and in- separable, from the first proud singing of the victory song at Freshman Who ' s Who to the last sentimental strain ot Tell Me Why at com- mencement. It s the Sweetheart songs, Girl of my Dreams , My Buddy , and the Westminster hymn. We remember Westminster for its music. Westminster ' s soprano, Jane Sheppard . . . Indispensable where good entertainment is planned, Jane s voice is a campus tradition. Remember her singing Begin the Beguine , Night and Day , and Lord ' s Prayer? The blonde music major has sung approximately 150 solos in her three years of college, and we hope there will be many more. Hi II ji With Bob Laufenberger ' s accom- paniment, the male quartet often en- tertained this year. Well-remember- ed are their Little old Crossroads Store and Surrey with the Fringe on Top. Bill Stevenson was one of the quartet first semester. Not able to make long trips, the fellows did sing in nearby schools and churches. s i u c) e n t 0 0 e Bottom: Scholl, Hill, president Nelson, Wright, Cochran; top: Greer, Musser, Crooks, Caruso, Woods, McKnight, Dunseath.

Freshmen were quick to realize that the black robed Student Council they met at Tribunal the second week of school had more to do than deal out regulations and punishment to green new- comers. Student Council parties at College and Browne hall complete with dancing, programs, and food were open to everyone. Bond sales reached 8,613.25 during a three week Student Council contest to select West- tninster ' s War Bond Queen. Each penny sale meant one vote, and senior Ruth Templeton, one of five nominees, captured 461,575 votes to win the title. Senate has had a headache this year — revising girls ' rules. Westminster ' s women ' s governing body has attempted to set up rules for a student body of which 85 per cent is female — and 50 per cent of those, freshmen. Freshmen are introduced to Senate, representa- tive of all girls ' dormitories, at their first house meeting. But Senate doesn ' t spend all its time passing rules and clamping down on offenders with house limits. Students on campus Easter weekend re- member gathering colored eggs, and no one for- got the midnight movie at Ernie ' s with 2 o ' clock permission.

Inter-Fraternity council is the governing body of Westminster ' s fraternities. It is composed of three representatives from each of the three fra- ternities. The purpose of this organization is to set up the rules for rush week and to promote friendly relations between the fraternities. This year the Inter-Fraternity council had Winter Wonderland as the theme of its annual ball. The dance was held on December 1 in the gym. Members: Kappa Phi Lambda — George Munn, Jim Sidey, Harry King Bell. Sigma Phi Epsilon — Tom Turner, Bob Kennedy, Don Bennett. Alpha Sigma Phi — Jim Caruso, Paul Musser, Gene Yarnell. Pan Hellenic Council is a group of twelve girls representing the six national sororities at West- minster. This year besides performing its regular duty of setting rushing rules and dates, Pan Hell issued freshmen sorority handbooks, established the scholarship rule of a minimum of a c before a girl could pledge a sorority, and arranged for the drawing of sorority houses. The council ' s main purpose of prompting friendliness and cooperation among the sororities is fostered each year at a dance. With a skit pre- sented by each group and a card table and window decorated by every sorority, this year ' s dance was a college hall success.

The or- ganization attempts to extend the principles of good journalism right down to work done on campus. Besides publishint the Yearling and In- formation Please, Pi Delt sponsors the an- nual publication banquet. Officers: president, Jean Brown; secretary- treasurer, Ruth Stoehr; historian, Meredith Laud- enslager. J eUa A aMa Delta Nabla, local mathemtaics honorary fraternity, initiated three new members on March 15 at the annual steak-French fry dinner at the Tavern. They were Jean Jar- dine, Mary Elizabeth Clark, and Charles Hildebrand.

Officers: president, Ruth Wright; secretary- treasurer, Gladys Henderson. Write an original manuscript and read it at the next meeting, is a new member ' s introduction to Scroll, honorary English fraternity. With all its participants interested in writ- ing and literature, the club looked forward all year to the visit of Agnes Sligh Turnbull, Western Pennsylvania novelist. Two recep- tions were held in her honor. Officers: president, Virginia Wilhams; vice- president; Meredith Laudenslager; secretary, Na- omi Himmeger. T lp-Aa 9 (da Alpha Iota, International Honorary Busi- ness Sorority, has as its purpose the develop- ment of interest in the business world and in the most modern business methods. To be a member of .Alpha Iota a woman student must have completed twelve hours of sec- retarial science or commercial teaching studies and have a two average in those courses.

The voting was one-sided in favor of Dewey in the chapel-held rally. Organized to bring subjects of global im- portance to the attention of the students, IRC has held discussions on subjects like A Just World Peace. Officers: president, Hilda McDowell; secretary- treasurer, Carrie Grace Robinson; historian, Jean Brown. The Spring of Peace was the theme of the latest issue of Scrawl, campus literary magazine sponsored by Miss Martha Barn- hill. Last fall ' s issue had as its theme V- Mail. Scrawl gets its poems, articles, and stories not only from its staff, but from any contributor on campus. Editors: Editor-in-chief, Margaret McLane: As- sociate editor, Meredith Laudenslager; business manager, Ann Radulovic. liJeA.tmini.fei f adia ' kJa-t dA p- New studios in the library basement this year gave the Westminster Radio Workshop just what it needed. Students interested in radio work wrote, directed, acted, and re- corded plays and skits. Campus talent re- corded songs, poetry, speeches. Sharon sta- tion WPIC regularly broadcast WRW re- cordings. WRW has no officers. Director of the Workshop, Mr. Donald Barbe, is assistant professor of speech. Freshmen women got to know Target, senior women ' s honorary, early m the year through their apple roasts and their pajama party. All students remember the Target spon- sored midnight movie, Brother Rat, held at Ernie ' s this winter and the special two o ' clock permission.

After three years of hard work. Sceptre ' s dream of becoming a part of Cwens, national sophomore women ' s honorary, has come true. In May Sceptre was officially installed as a chapter of the national group. Pledges for Sceptre are chosen for per- sonality, character, activities, and scholar- ship. These girls in turn carry on a year- round program to help freshmen. Officers: President, B.irbara Peters; Secretary, Anne Babbitt, Pi Mi a Pi Pi Sigma Pi, honorary scholastic honorary, takes over the chapel for honors convoca- tions, holds monthly meetings, sponsors a book drive to help build the library. This year the book drive really went over, with the help of the Holcad USS Westminster fund. Pi Sig, whose standards are those of Phi Beta Kappa, hopes some day to become a chapter of that organization. Officers: president, Norman Cochran; vice presi- dent, Jean Brown; secretary-treasurer, Dorothy Hefner. Cafifia ' eita Pi Kappa Delta Pi, national honorary educa- tion fraternity, continued this year ' s activi- ties with its monthly ineetings and programs of special interest to future educators. This frat, which is composed of students enrolled in education and having a B average, spent many of its meeting hours discussing busi- ness education and teaching. Officers are: Ina Hopkins, president; Ada Mc- Cleary, vice-president; Judy Cook, secretary; and Ruth Elbe), treasurer. I 0 u p Religion plays a vital part in the lives of West- minster coeds and Westminster men. Daily chapel, Sunday evening chapel, CE and Wesley, YW and YM, church and Sunday school, special speakers, the Dr. Kirby Page forum, gospel teams, and the integral religious spirit of Westminster brings us all closer together. One college memory never to be lorgotten is Prexy and his inspiring sermons. y. W. e. A. Gaknei Hikes, dinners, engagements, recitals, gradua- tion, and new pins highlighted the 1944-45 year for Quadrangle, independent women ' s organi- zation. The pins, designed by Mr. Harold Brennan, are quadrangular in shape with four stars sig- nifying the four-fold development toward which the group works. More hikes, hot dogs, cider and doughnuts, new diamonds, and graduation of seniors filled the first semester. In January the formal tea for freshmen was held m Ferguson lounge with sponsors Mrs. Neil McCall and Mrs. Leon Marshall pouring. Freshman initiation and installation of new officers was also held in Fergie. With still more hikes and parties, record meet- ings and sings, the year was climaxed by the an- nual picnic.

Kappa Phi Lambda was founded on Westminster campus in 1864, two years after the first chapter was founded at Washington and Jefferson. The local outlived ten chapters to become ' the nation ' s old- est local ' . When September ' 44 rolled around, only four Kaps were on campus. Service induc- tion had cut heavily into the Kap ranks, and re- building began. In September ten pledges were pledged, and another was added in January. Paul Krakowski returned in February to complete his last semester. Willard Acheson, Robert Beishem, Richard Beveridge, Charles Gibson, William Henry, Jo- seph Krakowski, and Benjamin McKay went through pledge week, pledge trips, and were in- itiated in February. Richard Kalajainen became an active in May. Two Kaps left for the service during the past year, Matt Brown left in October, and Ben McKay was able to get the first semester completed. Dr. Gilbert Taylor, professors Harold Brennan and Michael Radock are the faculty advisors. For the second straight year the scholarship cup went to the Kaps. Kaps were initiated into Pi Delta Epsilon, held positions on the Holcad and Argo staffs, and continued down the same old beaten path on the Athletic field. Harry K. Bell and James Sidey entered Pi Delt. Sidey and Bell, along with Beveridge and Henry held positions on the Holcad and Argo Staffs. George Munn presided over Interf raternity « council. Hanging on the wall above the mantel place, the Old Kap was present at many a house party. Heading the years activities was a semi-formal dinner dance. Chicken, mashed potatoes and all the trimmings at the Tavern; dancing and enter- tainment at the house. A novel weiner roast, in- doors, before the fireplaces ended the years fes- tivities. But many parties kept weekends lively at the house. Many a service man dropped around during the year. Kenny Cain, Forry Rosenberger, Don Wanner, Alf Laing, Lou Grossmen, and Don Wanner were around to name a few. Officers: President, Bill Henry; Secretary, H. K. Bell; Treasurer, Chuck Gibson.

Maybe it won ' t be long before we ' ll be seeing you. We ' ve heard a lot about you guys and during the year we ' ve met some of your buddies. Who? Well, Chi O Moe visited campus this semester. It ' s Lt. Chapman now, but he ' s as happy-go-lucky as ever. Tubby Horton was here and Tom Murphy turned up with a host of service ribbons and a presidential citation. Our house is still occupied by the fair sex but we hope to live there ne.xt fall. Dunlevy ' s serves as unofficial frat house and the room above the bank is used for meetings. Its walls still ring with sounds of Pledgemaster Jorgensen ' s well-placed swats. We ' ve also been able to squeeze in a few swell dinners and dances. We ' ve sure hustled around the old quadrangle the past year. Last fall we startled the school one morning by breaking out in our new red and white jackets. We don ' t see much of Kennedy or Raymie be- cause of their constant trips to Fergie. And we get a kick watching Rube jitterbugging — sort of taking up where Newt left off. Pennsylvania Lambda sportsmen were on the ball again this year. The ' 44- ' 45 basketball season found fourteen brothers as Towering Titans, with nme now sporting Block W ' s. Jorgy and Rube placed first and second in the scoring section, and T was head manager and coach ' s chief advisor. We captured first place in the intramural basket- ball with Shot Kennedy high man in the league. This spring we ' ve been holding up the SPE soft- ball record. We hope we ' ve made you proud of us. So, for you, our brothers, we pray for a sure victory and your safe return soon. Until then, God bless you all. Officers: President.

After the smoke and the roar of battle had been dispelled; after the packets of those luxuries, cig- arettes, had been totaled and the nerve strain eased, the brothers of Alpha No of Alpha Sigma Phi smiled with relief to find that another rush week was over, and that many proud pledges were sporting that little pin — with Chris Wagner their fear-inspiring pledge master. The college days for several were short lived as they joined the service. Bob Dunslon, John Salcau, Stat Miller, Bob O McIia, Denny Scott, and Bill Stevenson were just a few that regretfully left the campus. With one of the largest active chapters of any fraternity in the country, several dinner dances topped the list of social events. The program If I Had My Way brought tears to the eyes of many — with memories of other programs and other days. The quartet contributed to many programs throughout the year. The fraternity choir won the cup presented by the Student Council. For all that Jimmy Caruso has done, the chapter gave this past president a 17 jewel watch at the last dance — given in his honor — a formal dinner dance at the Castleton. On a vote of the chapter we leased the house for a girl ' s dorm, but next year the fellows will probably take over again. Patterson House is subbing this year for a frat house, providing plenty of excitement and frat life for the Alpha Sigs living there — Fred, Chris, Jimmy, Gene, Scoop, Bill, Ed, and Norm. While carrying on Alpha Sigina tradition, the Alpha Nu ' s are eagerly looking forward to the day of reunion with the fellows representing this chapter all over the world.

Come up to third floor and knock on the door or — just walk in. It might, however, be safer if you knock. It would give Jinny Ann time to push the loafers you would otherwise tangle with under the edge of the spread, and Wick and Connie could move the bed from its bull-dozing position in front of the door. The other inmates would stop shrieking bridge bids over the chords of Candy and leave B. Womer attempting the four-part harmony she kinda whipped up this afternoon m still air. And in reminiscing through the memory frag- ments pasted in the scrapbook of our mind we realize just how much this very atmosphere means to us. We can ' t forget — Rushing and Floss ' ultra rendition of And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine. The Bloomer Gals and Lynn ' s size 12 black Keds; furiously embroid- ering both scarves and our fingers; the hay stack giving Art to the middle room; and Sigma Kap Man. Pledging dinner at Savoldis — remember it came out a tie. No one could quite decide which was hotter, the spaghetti or our singing. Christmas and the warm smell of pine filling the suite while we packed the children ' s boxes for the Maine Sea Coast Mission. Choosing candidates to represent us at the in- stallation of the new Tech chapter. Beta Iota. Then wishing we had been there, too, when they came back with their tales about real food. Dew-sequined violets making formal initiation an occasion always to be remembered. Our pride in Sigma Kappa ' s new members and honor initi- ates, Mrs. John McConagha and Mrs. Gilbert Taylor. That special feeling when May Queen Lou ap- peared in her white gown on Senior Terrace, and the special smile we knew must be for us.

I am found in the northeast corner of first floor Ferguson Hall. I live on memories — lovely memories of Kappa Delta, and I echo with gay sorority songs and ringing voices of the coeds of green and white. The year 1944-45 has been a very eventful year for K D, and as I have seen all and heard all, I am the logical one to relate the story. Well, when fall rolled around, they came in swarms. Yep, bag and baggage, there they were. There were the usual good times that go with sorority life — feeds, bull sessions, etc. and then suddenly I found myself being all dressed up for what they called rush piartics. New faces appeared. I learned later they were the twenty new pledges that I was to know better. Christmas vacation came and went followed by exams and the graduation of six seniors. I missed Crookie ' s gracious way, Jane Greer ' s dancing per- formances, Pete Shcakley ' s dream picture of Lefty, Beth Brown ' s corny jokes. Jinks Johnston ' s efficiency as treasurer, and president Toadie ' s guiding hand. The K D ' s had two members selected for the campus royalty this year. Alice Langguth was crowned Harvest Queen in the fall and F utli Templeton was chosen War Bond Queen. I didn ' t attend all the social affairs. For in- stance, the initiation dinner honoring the pledges was held at the Tavern. Our patroness, Mrs. Mathews, entertained the KD ' s with a Christmas party in her home, and a picnic supper was given by Mrs. Biberich in April. It was such fun. Yes, I am truly li ' ing in the Kappa Delta gard- en of dreams. Officers: president, Jean Dobbie; vice president, Eve- lyn Crooks; secretary, Anna Mae Sheakley; treasurer, Anna Johnston.

And now for Alpha Gamma Delta, broadcast- ing from station AE, Westminster college: Activities kept us going from the year ' s begin- ning to end as September ' s opening days found Nancy Slinker as champ apple harvester. Senior Jean Garee also took honors with her manage- ment of the Campus War Chest. A Saturday night all-sorority party at College Hall showed an AG bull session with Peg Lang- don bringing down the house with her drop from a double-decker bed. In November we held a dinner at the Tavern honoring our patroness Mrs. El mer B. Russell. Some red, some green, piped in white, with our Alpha Gam crest on the pockets, our new blazers made a hit everywhere. Then, too, we refurnished the suite with lovely taffeta bedspreads and vari- colored draperies. We ' ll never forget freshman rush parties with Peg and Pat ' s kit, those miniature Alpha Gam paddles, and the cocktail bubbles for our Pink Elephant Cabaret, our pledging and Tavern dinner. Again we celebrated with a Tavern dinner given by Mrs. Russell honoring our December pledges and our five new ones. To round out that week ' s affairs, we presented our Mountain Madness party in college hall. Ummm — such memories of Wibby ' s flour-packed corn cob pipe. A reminder of glamorous pre-war days invaded the campus for our annual all-college spring formal. It was the Candyland Ball with its candy canes and crowning of Pledge Princess, Ann Davies. We had our International Reunion Day dinner with our New Castle alumnae chapter as hostesses. Ex-president Mane Funter was a- warded the senior achievement cup tor her camp- us activities. Our reminiscing over a grand year has come to an end as all good things must. Signing off till next September — see-ya.
