Not the least of our gratitude goes for the fellowship and loyalty which she helped to instill among the members of our staff. NRITE AND GET PAID FOR IT! WHEN Jason and the Argonauts set out in search of the Golden Fleece, they had complete confidence in their ship, the Argo. They were a courageous and ambitious group of voyagers. The staff ot a much later Argo, the i950 Argo, also had great ambitions, not only to complete a voyage in a given time but also to chronicle all events that occurred in the year ot their voyage. We felt that the logical approach to this problem was to visualize Westminster College in its entirety and to break it down into descending entities: from the college to the departments to the classes, etc. Certain limitations prevented us from giving a complete picture ot every event which occurred during the year. However we have endeavored to present to you between the covers ot this volume a pictorial history ot the year of l949. We hope that the Seniors, the class ot l949, will have as interesting and exciting voyages in the years to come as we have had in the publication ot this book.

Because of his administrative skill, his friendly sincerity, and his utter devotion to the welfare of Westminster, he deserves to be ranked with the former beloved presidents of the college. Dr. J. Harper McKnight, dean of men and college pastor left us at the end of the first semester in order to assume a pastorate at Brookline Blvd. Church in Pittsburgh. Dr. Mc- Knight, interested always in helping the students with their problems, brought to his iob a sense of humor, vigor, a respect for Christian ideals, and an understanding of human nature. Dean Helen L. Sittig has gained the respect and good will of the women students with her cheerful and impartial administration. Always ready to enter into the fun, she shows a great understanding of the coeducational problems on campus. Mr. Samuel H. Sloan assumed the duties of DEAN OF WOMEN, HELEN L. SITTIG DEAN OF MEN AND COLLEGE PASTOR, W. J. HARPER MCKNIGHT I4 DR. JOHN ORR Dean of Men second semester. Brisk and hearty, with a keen sense of humor, 'ASam immediately won the mens confidence and cooperation. SAMUEL H. SLOAN DR. WILL W. ORR After weeks and months of anticipation, a holiday on April 27 proclaimed for Westminster College and New Wilmington that a new presi- dent had arrived on campus. The holiday MRS. ORR THE PRESIDENT began on Tuesday evening in the gym where a pep rally was held followed by dancing. Dr. Will Orr was escorted into town by a special car and motorcycle escort. At L45 p.m. the town and college officially welcomed the president as the band began to play and the floats began to roll. Forty-niners, turtles, horses, circus performers, beauty queens, slaves, and oarsmen all participated in the parade. Fol- lowing the parade the crowd gathered on the South terrace where an informal welcome was extended to the new president and his family by the faculty, students, and alumni. The new president comes to Westminster from Westminster Church in Des Moines, Iowa. He has several interesting avocations, including photography, cabinet-making, and collecting stamps. One of his most unusual hobbies is an elaborate collection of miniature electric trains. He has also spent much time originating youth clubs and lecturing on his plan for combatting iuvenile delinquency. Dr. Orr's past record has shown that he is a sincere and capable man. Westminster looks forward to many years under his leadership. WILSON DAVID ARLISS I5 GEORGE ROSS ELLIS B.S., M.B.A.-Business Manager MISS HELEN L. SITTIG R N., B.S., A.M.-Dean of Women I 6 BUSINESS OFFICE The business office, under the direction of Mr. Ross Ellis, con- ducts the financial business of Westminster College. Besides pur- chasing supplies and equipment and taking care of the incoming cash and the expenditures, Mr. Ellis willingly sees all students who desire part time iobs and talks over the possibilities of a job with them. In taking care of this part of the administration, Mr. Ellis has proved to be human, shrewd, and efficient. The first person whom would-be-students meet when they visit Westminster is the kindly, merry little man in Room 201. Mr. William Johns, Director of Public Relations, is responsible for capturing and maintaining the public's interest in and support of the college. Thousands of letters go out each year informing high school seniors of the courses, activities, and fellowship offered by Westminster College. No student successfully graduates from college without some significant contact with the registrar's office. The student at West- minster is no exception. He receives white cards from the office. He learns his grades through notices sent out by the registration office. Perhaps he has to check with the registrar to see if he is fulfilling the requirements for graduation. And no student grad- uates without remembering those registration days he experienced during his college career. The organizer behind all this vast amount of registration work at Westminster is Miss Isabel Ramsey. Miss Ramsey quietly and pleasantly irons out the problems con- nected with this part of the administration. She cheerfully and willingly meets students and helps them with their curricular prob- lems. Miss Ramsey is capably assisted by Miss Sarah Dandy. W. J.

ART Aside from infirmary patients, the only people who walk past the TUB in that direction are art students. They walk through the doors of this war surplus building into a creative world all their own. Donning aprons, smocks, or old clothes, they wend their way through a mass of paint, clay, easels, stools, models, other artists, and elementary education stu- dents. They seek out their respective master- pieces, gaze fondly at them, and begin another afternoon art lab. Everywhere students are working with charcoals and water colors, building model houses, molding plaster-of- paris figures and paper mache creations, or painting with oil colors. Students seeking a well rounded introduc- tion into all art techniques and a background in art history find that this department can give them the answers. Elementary and ad- vanced courses in drawing and design in all the various media. Problems in sculpture, in- terior decoration, commercial and costume PORTRAIT OF PREXY SCHOLARSHIP OR JIU JITSU design are tackled with vigor. The practice and theory for students ot the department sup- plements the cultural lite of the college by presenting series ot exhibitions, in the library, of works lent by various museums and colleges. Practicing as well as presenting the latest theories in artistic trends are popular professors Charles Dietz and William Faddis. New on campus this year, Mr. Dietz is chairman of the department. He teaches drawing and painting, art history, and designing. lntensively interested in music, he enioys playing the accordion and listening to his fine collection ot records. Most ot his spare time this year was devoted to painting a portrait ot Prexy. Mr. Faddis, one- time iui-iitsu instructor, now teaches the art sections of the Fine Arts Survey, interior decor- ating and design, commercial art, and many other phases. A moot question is whether his iui-iitsu training or his collegiate training will be most helpful in rearing his two husky sons. .pd WILLIAM G. FADDIS A.B., Pennsylvania State, A.M., Pennsyl vania State. EDUCATION OR ART PROTRAIT OF A KANGAROO ANCIENT LANGUAGES Did you say a translation of Seneca' letters? Or would you rather read from Livy or Curtius Rufus? Any Greek student would be glad to help you with Xenophon, Herodotus, or Homer. These mysterious ancient languages which are Hall Greek to most of us become familiar courses to any of the students in the Ancient Language department. Dr. Gilbert Taylor reigns alone in the Greek and Latin empire at Westminster. His pre-ministerial Greek students find him well-informed on his middle-of-the road theology. This many-sided professor speaks several modern languages fluently, in addition to his knowledge of the ancient tongues. He is currently mastering the Russian language. Dr. Taylor, a Phi Beta Kappa man, makes our ancient language department vital and valuable. Applying his keen intellect to all phases of his life, Dr. Taylor is an excellent chess player and possesses a fine sense of humor. GRECO COUNTER GAMBIT DECLINED GILBERT H.

BIBL E and PHlLosopHy Broadening the Christian experience and knowledge of every student specialized study for students of theology is the function of the department of Bible and Philosophy. Recogniz- ing the fundamental relationship between suc- cessful living and Christian principles, four lively professors make religion an interesting and practical study. Extremely active in guid- ing and participating in campus activities, these men are familiar to everyone on campus. Students maioring in Bible and Philosophy may take courses ranging from Bible literature to modern methods in religious work. QContinued on page 30D JOSEPH M.

CHRISTY AB., Westminster, Th.B., Pittsburgh-Xenia Seminary, Th.M., Pittsburgh-Xenia Siminory, Ph.D., Pittsburgh. FOR HOPKINS - DOMESTICATION Dr. John Orr finds motion pictures of his grandchildren an interesting diversion from his manifold duties at the college. Dr. Wayne Christy finds his daughter LoAnn a continuous source for illustrations in human behavior. Other extra-curricular activities are sponsoring Life Service, C.Y.F., and coaching baseball teams. Mr. Robert Kelly has proved that his sense of humor is extremely good when the boys of his class presented him with a birth- day cake made of solid concrete. Mr. Joseph Hopkins' hobby used to be sporting the latest gaudy ties, but this year his interests have taken a more domestic turn. Last year the religious leaders at Westminster conceived the idea of a three-day retreat for officers of Christian organ- izations and other student religious leaders. The purpose of this retreat was to coordinate the whole religious program for the coming year. Singing, playing games, talking over campus problems, and listening to outstanding speakers constituted the program for West- minster students who forsook the campus for the quiet, wooded beauty of Seneca Hills. Those who attended the conference last year were so pleased with the results that they de- cided to make the Seneca Hills retreat an annual affair. This year the second weekend in October was set aside for the retreat. Approximately eighty-five students packed their suitcases and said good-by to the campus for a fun-packed and inspirational weekend. The special speak- ers were Rev. Herman King, from Buffalo, New York, and Dr. Monsma, from Grove City College. SONG FEST AT SENECA HILLS 30 I' BICLCGY MYRON L. SIMPSON A.B., American U., Sc.D., Johns Hopkins. Bryophyte or Pteridophyte? Chordata or Reptilia? Only the biology student knows the answer. And why shouldn't he? Step into the lecture room and there the human skeleton is being explained bone for bone or the structure of a flower is being illustrated. Step into the Zoology lab and there the insides of cats, dogfishes, frogs, and other animals are being explored. ln the botany lab structures and processes of algae, lichens, liverworts, ferns, and flowering plants are being viewed under the microscope. In this department the student becomes acquainted with and learns to appreciate the world of living things. The student prepares for future fields of nursing, dentistry, medicine, and teaching. The biology students are greeted by two new professors this year. Dr. Myron L. Simpson comes to Westminster from Gettysburg College. In his classes biology maiors examine in detail representative chordates, study the structure and functions of the parts of the human body, learn the basic principles of structure and LUCILE B. FREY B.S., Westminster, M.S., Michigan. 32 SCALPEL PLEASE! function in plants and animals in general, and do seminar work. At home Dr. Simpson is happiest when surrounded by his collection of books. Mr. Donald G. Hartman was teach' ing at Richmond City College before he came here. He teaches bacteriology, advanced botany, and organic evolution. Mr. Hartmans principal interest outside of his college work is raising pedigreed Collie dogs. Mrs. Lucile FIELD TRIPS FOR FUN BUGGY ABOUT BOOKS PAL OF A PUPPY DONALD G. HARTMAN B.S., Ohio State, M.A., Ohio Frey, who adds the local color to the depart- ment, lives iust outside of New Wilmington. She has been teaching at Westminster for two years. She teaches embryology and the non-major biology. So great is her enthusiasm for her subiect that field trips are part of her extra-curricular activities. Jean Calhoun, also from New Wilmington, is in charge of the non-major biology laboratories. State 33 -- Y- This year was a most important year for the biology maiors at Westminster, for T948- l949 marked the installation of Alpha Sigma Chapter of Beta Beta Beta, notional honorary biological fraternity. On Friday, December 3, l948, Beta Upsilon Gamma or the BUG CLUB held its formal initiation and installation program when it became a member of the national society. The program consisted of an informal reception for Dr. Frank G. Brooks, who is the Founder and National Secretary of Tri-Beta and who was the installation speaker. After a banquet, the initiation and installation was conducted. An informal fire- side meeting with Dr. Brooks followed at the home of Mrs. Frey. The BUG CLUB was founded on April 24, l948, under the direction of Mrs. Frey. Its purpose was to form a society for students of the biological sciences and thereby to stimulate sound scholarship, promote the dissemination of scientific truth, and encourage investigation in the life sciences. The honorary has had an active year. They have restored the college museum and have erected bird feeders on the campus. They have sponsored movies and special speakers con- nected with biological science. They have participated in a field day at the Mercer Bog with a chapter from Thiel College. They held a dinner in honor of the new initiates. The officers for the year T948-l949 are Wayne Steinbaugh, president, Meredith Brown, vice-president, Pat Johnson, secretary, Duff Brown, treasurer, and Marty Wedel, historian.

CHEMISTRY Atoms, molecules, ions-these are key words to the chemistry student. Such symbols as HCI H2O, CUSO4, NaOH, and MgO have an en- tirely different connotation for the chemistry student than they have for the ordinary student. For the chemistry maior deals with the com- position and properties of matter and the changes it will undergo. He learns how ninety- six elements can combine in such ways as to create hundreds of compounds. In the lab the chemistry student makes salt, purifies water, ex- periments with many chemical reactions, and once in a while causes an explosion or a fire. While he is doing these things, he is preparing for future work in medicine, chemical research, chemical industry, or teaching. And so he be- comes acquainted with the chemistry of all phases of everyday life. Three new professors are conducting the chemistry classes this year. Dr. John O. Collins, who is from the State Teachers' College of East Stroudsburg, Pa., is head of the depart- ment. Under his direction students conduct chemical analyses, become acquainted with chemical literature, and discuss the funda- mental principles of chemistry. He also has charge of the senior seminar course. Mr. John WOOD CRA FTSMAN Pennsylvania. G. Zimmerman also teaches general chemistry. ln addition, he teaches physical chemistry and also the senior seminar course. He comes to Westminster after teaching at the Saint Helena Extension of the College of William and Mary, Norfolk, W. Va. The third member of the de- partment, Mr. E. Charles Gangloff, is a veteran of World War ll. He graduated from Ohio State University where he completed a fellow- ship in Physiological Chemistry. He is teach- ing general chemistry, organic chemistry, and qualitative organic analysis. Miss Marietta Anderson, a graduate of Westminster, is super- vising the laboratory work. ECONOMICS CAPTAIN W.

ECONOMICS AND Accounts, production, consumption, distribu- tion, economic statistics, merchandising, per- sonnel management, business cycles, auditing procedures, money, credit, banking, taxation, federal debt, budgeting, international trade, foreign exchange-all these are subjects which make up the mass of learning business maiors acquire during four years at Westminster. Up on the second and third floors of Old Main congregate the business experts of the college. There they settle or at least discuss such questions as: How can the national debt be reduced? ls the United States founded on a sound monetary basis? Does the demand always control the supply? and other such vital questions to the nation's economy. Yes, here are the financiers, the business executives, the accountants, the buyers and sellers, and the bankers of tomorrow. The first figure who greets us in the Economic and Business Administration department is a familiar one. Cap McKee is one of the oldest teachers in point of service at West- minster. He has been here for twenty-four years. He teaches his students to apply theory ZITA C. HANFORD A.B., John B. Stetson, A.M., John B. Stetson. BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION by practical experience. Specifically he teaches students how to analyze various economic policies and business policies. He handles the theses work in the two fields. Dr. Richard Schanck teaches the statistical courses. Mr. Samuel Sloan, who is teaching his second year at Westminster, instructs students in intermed- iate economics, personnel management, prob- lems in the labor field, and the social science survey course. Mrs. Zita Hanford and Mr. Harold Lundvall also came here last year. They teach the elementary accounting courses. In addition, Mrs. Hanford instructs students in studying man's adaptation to his physical en- vironment as related to economic and political conditions and in comparing international economic philosophies. Mr. Lundvall takes care of the advanced accounting and auditing courses. He also instructs in personnel man- agement and in the social science survey. Another new staff member in the department this year is Mr. Henry Calvert. He also teaches the survey course as well as labor problems and intermediate economics. He spends his free time as resident director for the men at College Hall. HAROLD LUNDVALL A.B., Pennsylvania State HENRY W. CALVERT B.S., South Carolina. EDUCATION ln the Education Department the South and New England are well represented, but where do the western and middle eastern states come in? As tar as this department is concerned, they don't. Mr. E. C. Shortt, the head of the department, speaks fondly ot good, old Virginief' He gives evidence ot where his loyalty lies, tor in class when discussing educa- tional practices in the various states, he in- variably concludes with Weell naow, Ah'm not so sure about Pennsylvania, but Ah know that in Virginie . . Nevertheless, Mr. Shortt takes all quips about Virginia with a good- natured grin. He teaches introductory educa- tion courses, tests and measurements, and supervises the practice teaching. He also teaches several graduate courses. He rules the department with an iron hand, but rumor has it that his daughter is boss at home. Miss Beulah Campbell, the elementary edu- cation instructor, adds the glamour to the department. She's a southern gal hailing from Kentucky. ln the spring her thoughts uncon- sciously turn to the Kentucky Derby. She de- lights her pupils with her sott drawl. And although her drawl probably has nothing to do with it, it's a fact that some fellows on campus are seriously considering majoring in elementary education. Miss Campbell teaches 40 ELSTER C.

She also super- vises the elementary school practice teachers. Dr. Everett Handy brings a contrast to the department-he's from Massachusetts. His stu- dents also hear a drawl in class, but this time it's a New England drawl. One of his feminine students, after one ot her class periods with Dr. Handy, met a friend in the hall. She was overheard remarking, Can you beat that? Dr. Handy actually admitted his wife might IS THAT HOSS A DERBY CANDIDATE?

He also assists in supervising the practice teach- ing. In addition he teaches several graduate courses. Dr. Melvin Steiner, whose home is in Pitts- burgh, came to Westminster at mid-semesters. Previously he taught at Oregon State College. He teaches tests and measurements and a graduate course. 43 iuyfif a.

She brought back with her not only material glimpses ot England such as pictures, magazines, books, and odd knick- knacks, but she also gave her students glimpses into the homes and daily lives of the English Eeople. Her students became acquainted with nglish students attending English universities. Dr. Purdy has many hobbies. She collects records and books, she enioys reading mystery stories. With a twinkle in her eye, this English eacher claims that eating is one of her favorite pastimes. Dr. Myrta McGinnis, who is teaching her third year at Westminster, specializes in early English literature. One of her chief hobbies is reading mystery stories. Mr. George Bleasby and Mr. John Forry add the masculine touch to the department. Both have been here tor three years. Mr. Bleasby always takes time out for the funnies, and Mr. Forry claims smoking his pipe is his tavorite way to pass time. Mrs. Ann Jones, Miss Maxine Gilliland, and Miss Amy Charles complete the department. Mrs. Jones' main hobby is gardening.

A reception held in his honor after the lecture was sponsored by the English honorary. Here students, faculty, and outside friends interested in literature were able to become better acquainted with Mr. Untermeyer. Scroll Club had its origin in T939 when an English maior suggested to the department that a club be organ- ized with the purpose ot encouraging interest in student writing and in litera- ture. Since then the club has grown and become established as an English honorary. At the meetings the mem- bers read original manuscripts and en- courage criticism on these manuscripts. They hear members ot the faculty and outside speakers talk on literary sub- iects. They entertain outstanding speak- ers such as Robert Frost and Carl Sand- burg who are lecturing on the campus. ln March, 1939, Scroll undertook the sponsorship of a magazine, later named Scrawl. The otticers for the year T948-T949 are John Pollock, president, Nancy Schmidt, vice president, Patricia Mar- shall, secretary, and Catherine Roe- dema, treasurer. Professor John Forry, Lewis Untermeyer SCRAWL lda Falsetti, Elizabeth Cummings, Margaret Morris, Margaret Scull, Roger Hawk. l The college magazine Scrawl came out with lthe new look this year. Since coeds were ,lengthening their skirts, the staff of Scrawl decided to lengthen its cover. Consequently the magazine was bigger this year than ever ,before. Scrawl publishes student articles, book re- iviews, short stories, sketches, and poetry. Any student may submit his writing to the literary staff and try out for positions on the business and editorial staffs. The winter edition of the magazine was edited by Margaret Morris. Roger Hawk was managing editor, Ida Falsetti was business manager, and the associate edi- tors were Elizabeth Cummings, Ann Nicodemus, and Margaret Scull. Outstanding contributions were the article Other Peopue's Bundles by John Pollock and the accompanying illustra- tion by Paul Talley, and Pebbles from Bould- ers, a short story by Francis Thom. The spring issue of Scrawl had Margaret Scull as its editor. She was assisted by Patricia Hays, associate editor, Mary Ellen Cipolla, managing editor, and Kay Campbell, business manager.

THOMAS A.B., Westminster, M.E., Pittsburgh, Ph.D., Pittsburgh. JCUR ALISM Old Main, Spring, T949-FLASH! The department of iourna ism at Westminster College has iust been voted the offici with the most atmosphere by college students maioring ii that field, according to a recent statement made by Dr. Williar J. Thomas, head of the department. Reporters of this publicc tion rushed to the scene at once to get a first hand view o this unique room on Old Main's third floor. Some of the qualities which won the title for the depart ment were noticed immediately upon arrival. At about nini o'clock, B.S.A. time lbefore students arrivel, the office wa rather calm. Cluttered tables, open file drawers, ringing tele phone, blaring radio, clicking teletype, and the scratching pens of the busy profs created a soothing homey atmosphere for our reporters. Then the students invaded. The busy wheels of Holcad, Argo, Information Please, Yearling, and Scraw lto mention iust a fewl hustled in and out, cameras loomed oi the threshold in front of harassed-looking would-be photog raphers, a bevy of beauties giggled their way in to line up fo the latest News Bureau photo release, and a half-dozen ius watchers filled the rest of the small room. At the end o the day this most atmospheric department looked well worn, but newspaperish. Dr. Thomas, in addition to teaching, acts as director o the College News Bureau and coaches Westminster's gol team. Miss Elizabeth Nixon serves as advisor to Argo, write: feature articles, and directs the Lawrie Journalism Series ir her spare time. Both Doc and Miss Nixon take the noisf and confusion in stride as all iournalists must be able to do.

Week after week the Holcad staff meets in its basement office in the library to publish the paper, pausing only once each year to tack up another All-American rating on the wall. This year the tenth framed certificate was proudly placed beside the others. Every Friday night the dormitories, the frat houses, the TUB, and the Grill buzz with the latest editorial, or chuckle over the cartoon. College news has been supplemented this year with an interesting review of world hap- penings. The staff was headed this year by Kay Roedema, editor, Lydia Zahariou, managing editor, Glenn Hartman, news editor, Peggy Morris, feature editor, Maryellen Cipolla and Bill Kegel, copy editors, Doris Renshaw, society editor, Art Shaffer, sports editor, Jim Gravetz, business manager, and Dr. William J.

ARGO Handicapped by lack of a place to call home, the Argo was conceived at meetings held in the Tub, in the News Bureau, and at Bks. 2-2 Orchard Street, the residence of editor Roger Hawk. Earlier in the year we adopted the slogan Hon time in '49, and at the time of writing this article, we were still on schedule. However, benefiting from the experience of previous staffs, no one of us dared to make any definite statement, so all we would say was, the argo of '50 will sure be nifty. ln the hope of accomplishing our obiectives of having the Argo on time in '49, the staff was kept at a minimum size to avoid duplica- tion of effort and to facilitate accurate check up on the progress of the book. Production started early in October with the drawing up of the dummy and the selection of photographs to be engraved. April l5 was our engraving I l Maryellen Cipolla, Frank Ruth. deadline and May I5 was absolute deadline for all material. Whether late or whether on time, we hope you like it in '49.

Creighton, chairman of the history department, fills his fascin- ating lectures with tales of his wide travels, especially in the Far East. Dr. Creighton, kept busy with his duties as Director of the summer session, finds time to lecture to various campus groups also. Reading constitutes his avocation as well as his vocation. Dr. Alice K. Schuster's students don't mind the required three-by-five note cards at all because of her enthusiasm for the subiects she teaches. All her strikes are not made in the class room. We hear she bowls consistently above I75. HISTORY High on the third floor of Old Main, away from the buzzing halls of the present, the parade of the past marches on and on for Westminsters history students. The history department ac- quaints the student with social and political trends throughout the history of the world. Besides the history ma- jors, students from many other fields-- English, political science, social service, pre-ministerial, education-flock to this department to take advantage of help- ful courses. American, English, Euro- pean, Russian, Far Eastern, Latin Ameri- can, Greek, and Roman histories are presented, as well as studies of Penn- sylvania, American economic Iife, and ancient civilization.

B.S., Pennsylvania State, M.E., Penn New to the mathematics department was its chairman, Mr. Galbraith. Mr. Galbraith was indeed new to Westminster in several ways. For one thing, he comes not from California, Virginia, or some other far away state, but he comes from out of the United States, Mr. Galbraith is a native of Canada. Mr. Gal- braith amused his classes who were not ac- customed to Canadian dialect with his char- acteristic Canadian interrogative Heh. Soon this novelty wore off, and Mr. Galbraith continued to teach Westminster students in classes of college algebra, analytic geometry, differential equations, higher algebra, theory of equations, and the seminar mathematics course. Mr. Brown, for the second year, continued to amaze his students with the rapidity with which he flew from blackboard to blackboard working problems, explaining them, easing them, and working more. Does the man never 60 vania State. tire? they would ask each other, but Mr. Brown was always ready to take up any student on any mental gymnastic. He teaches college algebra and plane trigonometry, special methods in teaching mathematics, calculus, solid analytical geometry, and elementary mathematics of statistics. Mr. Conway moved from the physics de- partment into the mathematics department this year. Mr. Conway has some talents that greatly surprised his math students when they discovered what they were. His favorite hobby is writing short stories for magazines. He seems to be able to combine his literary talents and mathematical talents very well, for he not only sells stories, but he also succeeds in teach- ing vector analysis, calculus, differential equa- tions, mathematics of finance, and engineering drawing. l l UFASCINATING MECHANISM DELTA NABLA Students taking math during their freshman year learn that it pays to make good grades in this course.

WOMEN'S GLEE CLUB Westminster women, marching two by two, down the candlelit aisle of the chapel, make the traditional Christmas Glee Club service memorable. This service and the annual spring concert are the highlights of the Women's Glee Club's year. One of the oldest choral organ- izations on campus, the Glee Club is open to all women of the college. Seventy-five mem- bers gather once each week to enioy singing the best of choral literature. Miss Ada Peabody directs the group. The officers of the Women's Glee Club are Mildred Powell, president, Eleanor Whitehill, secretary, and Shirley Rus- sell, librarian. A CAPPELLA CHOIR Twice each week and every Sunday evening, the A cappella Choir of the college gathers to practice and sing sacred music, ancient and modern. The choir, organized in l935, has ninety-three members. Professor Frank R. Bohn- horst, completing his first year on campus, is the organist and choir director. ln October during Homecoming weekend, a concert of sacred choral music with organ and soloists was presented. ln December the choir sang a program of Christmas music- old and new, anthems and carols. On Palm Sunday evening a musical service included the Bach cantata Christ Lay in Death's Dark Prison, and the Five Mystical Songs by Vaughn Williams. The final musical evensong was the presentation of Mendelssohn's dramatic oratorio, Eliiah. STRATAGEM DEFINED DONNA M. SHERIDAN GROVER C. WASHABAUGH A.B., Westminster. B.S., Pittsburgh. PHYSIC7-YL EDUC?-XTION MELVIN HETZLER SHIRLEY A. MORGAN HAROLD E. BURRY B S Geneva. B.S., Westminster. Westminster firmly believes in the old adage All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Consequently the college has a well-developed physical education program. Besides specific classes of instruction in swimming, hygiene, and the fundamental sport activities, the depart- ment also sponsors intramural sports for both men and women. The men engage in such activities as football, soccer, basketball, soft ball, track, cross country, golf, boxing, and water polo while the women play volleyball, basketball, soft ball, hockey, ping-pong, or go bowling. At the head of the department is Coach Grover Washabaugh who, for eleven years, has coached successful teams of towering Titans in the technique of playing good basketball. Women's athletics are directed by Donna Mae Sheridan assisted by Shirley Morgan who joined the staff this year. Besides teaching the swimming and gym classes, they coach the 74 B.B.A., Westminster, M.Ed., Pittsburgh W. A. A. teams that compete with other col- leges in swimming and basketball. They also are responsible for the beautiful Mermaid pageant that is put on each year. Men's athletics are under the direction of Melvin Hetzler who is also the football coach. He is assisted by Harold Burry who coaches the men's swimming, soccer, and cross-country teams. C-R-A-C-K went the floor in .lean Calhoun's lfouse as it sagged under the combined weight of twenty-five W. A. A. members. The girls had gathered at Calhoun's for a weiner roast, and rainy weather had forced them inside. Undaunted, they were gayly feasting on wein- ers, potato chips, and root beer and playing bridge. Suddenly the floor-boards groaned and fell a few inches. Thus, W. A. A. will recall the autumn weiner roast as one of the memorable events of its busy year. The Women's Athletic Association was estab- lished on Westminster's campus in l93l. W. A. A. has charge of all womens sports on campus including field hockey, volleyball, basketball, soft ball, and swimming. lt sponsors inter-sorority games and opens the gym two afternoons a week for the use of W. A. A. members and other girls earning points for membership. At graduation a scholarship of S35 is presented to the iunior woman who is outstanding in cooperation, loyalty, scholastic ability, and contributions to the organization. This year W. A.

How can voices be carried for thousands of miles over wires? How is it possible for people to sit in their living rooms and see what is happening a hundred miles away? What is it that has three million times as much energy as coal? While most of us are very interested in knowing the answers to questions such as these, there are only a few of us who can give an adequate explanation. These wizards are the physics majors. Students who maior in this department are preparing for the teaching profession or for graduate work in engineering schools, medical schools, or in the reasearch field. They study heat, light, meterology, radio, electricity and magnetism, mechanics, thermo- dynamics, and similar subiects. Students who are not maioring in physics take the non-major general course in physics. Music students learn the principles underlying the production and transmission of sound in the acoustics course. Those who wish to know more about the other planets and the stars of the universe take the astronomy course. 76 OLDEST IN POINT OF SERVICE Dr. J. A. Swindler, head of the department, is one of the two oldest members on the faculty. He has been teaching students in the class- rooms on the second floor of the science hall for thirty years. In recent years students have approached Dr. Swindler and said, My dad said to tell you hello. He took physics from PHYSICS S ASTRONOMY you twenty-five years ago. ln his spare time Dr. Swindler likes to garden and read. He teaches general physics, recent developments in physical science, making laboratory equip- ment, atomic physics, light, and astronomy. Dr. Robert lvl. Woods had previously been teaching at Northwestern University and the University ot Chattanooga before he came to Westminster last year. His chief hobby is col- lecting stamps. He instructs students in acoustics, electricity and magnetism, radio, mechanics, advanced electrical measurements, general physics, and senior seminar. Mr. Clayton L. Straw is new to Westminster this year. His most time consuming job besides his teaching is taking care ot his three red-haired youngsters. He teaches heat, meteorology, kinetic theory, and thermodynamics. He is in charge of the elementary laboratories.

Basing its prediction on a representative straw vote, the Political Science Department believes that Mr. Thomas E. Dewey from New York will be the next president of the United States. Statements like this were made on campus during the week preceding the presi- dential election last November. And who can blame the department? Even Mr. Gallup was a little bit off. ln this department students may work for a major in political science and public admin- istration or they may prepare themselves for law school. Governments, diplomacy, political parties, law, and politics are studied. Perhaps the biggest question which confronts this de- partment is how can the standards of the field of politics be raised?

Mr. Harry S. Manley with the assistance of Mr. Thomas Mansell teaches all the courses in this department. Mr. Manley is a former West- minsterite, he has been teaching at his alma mater since I945. Mr. Manley claims that all of his teaching isn't done in school-he in- structs his wife, the former Carolyn Hamilton, on the art of cooking. In the Sociology department Mr. Donald E. Lathrope reigns. Here the students are taught to understand human behavior, social groups, and contemporary social problems and institu- tions. Students interested in guidance, law, teaching, social work, personnel, the ministry, and other related fields are found signing up for courses in this department. They study many different social institutions such as mar- riage and the family, various minority groups, and the criminal offenders against society. Social systems, social legislation, social control, social psychology, and social work methods are also studied. Mr. Lathrope has been at Westminster since I947.

What are the causes, symptoms, and treatments for cases of dementia? West- minster's psychology maiors will soon be an- swering such questions as these. This depart- ment offers courses which give students inter' ested in psychology a satisfactory foundation for graduate work which ultimately will lead to positions in schools, clinics, or business. Prospective teachers, ministers, doctors, busi- ness men, and other professional workers are provided with the psychological background necessary in the satisfactory pursuit of their vocations. The third function of the depart- ment is to give the average individual a better understanding of human behavior and the problems involved in the development of one's own personality. Dr. Blanche Carrier came to Westminster to head the department in l946. She likes to cook and read. She also takes great delight in her open fireplace, especially during the SITTING PRETTY cold winter months. She teaches abnormal psychology, social psychology, several courses in mental hygiene, and one course in general psychology. She also conducts the class of observation and practice in child psychology. Mr. Robert Carter, who has been at West- minster for two years, claims he is the home- type married man. But one can easily see that he's a bridge fiend, for while on campus he spends some of his spare time in the TUB showing interested fellows and Coeds how to bid seven no-trump and make it. ln the class- room Mr. Carter teaches in general, educa- tional, applied, and adolescent psychology. Mr. Claude Eckman and his wife are pop IOTA DELTA and mom to forty husky big boys who live at Jeffers Hall. Mr. Eckman in his few spare moments likes to see what he can do with a paint brush. Coming to Westminster at mid- term last year, he immediately appeared as instructor in general, educational, child, and pre-clinical psychology. Freshmen entering Westminster are always greeted by a three-day testing session con- ducted by the Director of Testing. This year Mr. John Reid took over this job. Besides tell- ing students where their special abilities lie and how they are adiusted emotionally, so- cially, etc., Mr. Reid teaches a class in general psychology. fl. b rs.

A.B., Mt. Union, M.Ed., Pittsburgh. The rhythmic click of typewriter keys, the familiar words, Take a letter please, the iumbled noise of adding machines, dictation records, calculating machines, duplicators, comptometers, addressographs, mimeographs, and other office machines-these are the trademarks of the Secretarial Science depart- ment. Under the direction of Mr. Robert Gal- breath, head of the department, students learn how to keep accurate records and neat books, how to use English and arithmetic cor- rectly as applied to secretarial work, and how to run an office efficiently. Mr. Galbreath is fascinated with wood working and has made 83 ROBERT F. GALBREATH B.B.A., Westminster, M.Ed., Pitt some beautiful gun stocks. Mr. Harvey Mer introduces the secretarial science major shorthand and typing. He also teaches sa manship. Mr. Mercer continues to ans' questions when he leaves the college, for daughter Peggy has a very inquisitive nati Miss Arlene Risher also teaches typewriti She has the difficult task of seeing that fourth semester secretaries can take dicta' at the rate of l2O words a minute. She o instructs students in the use of office machii Miss Risher's spare time iob is acting as hor mother at the Beta Sig house. , PART TIME GUNSMITH RHO GAMMA Future secretaries have formed an honorary group to stimulate interest and promote new ideas in the field of secretarial science. Organ- ized last spring, the group derived its name from the initials of its sponsor, Robert F. Gal- breath, Jr., head of the secretarial science department. The requirements for Rho Gamma QUERY FROM PEGGY membership are an all-college average of C, a secretarial science average of l.5, a maior or minor in secretarial science, and a minimum of six hours in the secretarial science field. Present officers of Rho Gamma are Jean Gilli- land, president, Mary Mauro, vice president, Ruth Ban, secretary, and Kay Scott, treasurer.

MOORHOUSE PAUL GAMBLE AB Wesfern Reserve: A, M., Western A.B., Westminster. A.B., Westminster. Reserve. lt is the year l96O. The final curtain has just dropped on My Daughter Barbara which has been playing on Broadway for three years. The audience breaks into a roar of applause as the leading lady appears on the stage. She smiles, bows graciously several times, and re- tires from the stage. The audience rises en masse and the applause becomes deafening. The queen of the theater reappears. Who is this wonderful actress? Let us move closer. Why, that's Mary Titan, she graduated from Westminster in T949 while I was a freshman there. Yes, Mary majored in speech while she at- tended college. And it was there that she first became acquainted with the hows of acting. For in the speech department under the direc- tion of Mr. Donald Barbe, Miss Helen Cushman, 94 Mr. Melvin Moorehouse, Mr. David MacArthur, and Mr. Paul Gamble, maiors learn the ins and outs of debating, acting, public speaking, radio announcing, and teaching speech. These teachers not only instruct their pupils when they meet them in the classrooms, students are also taught as they make stage equipment, put on plays, and meet other colleges in debating sessions. The activities of the department are carried over into the honoraries and clubs sponsored by the department. For example, Tau Kappa Alpha is the fraternity which pro- motes excellence in public speaking. lts mem- bers take active part in forensics. Masquers gives recognition to students who have been active dramatically. lt produces an annual play, sponsors lectures on drama, and awards Oscars for the best Little Theatre performances during the year.

Ti?-SIE IQ QQDQ Q Home Coming Queen, Bee Jones and Her Court Many outstanding students distinguish themselves in activities outside their departments. Some of these Big B P People on Campus are pictured in the following section ' WHO'S WHO Scholastic achievement, leadership in campus activities, a pleasing personality, and a poten- tiality for future usefulness to business and society-these are the qualifications seniors must meet to be chosen to represent West- minster College in the national publication, Whos Who Among Students in American Uni- versities and Colleges. This publication first came out in T934-l935. Since then it has grown considerably and is now the most useful book of its type. Its purpose is twofold: it serves as an outstanding honor by which a deserving student, after displaying merit in college and accomplishing his goals, is given recognition, and it establishes a refer- ence volume of authoritative information on the great body of Americas leading college students, thus serving as a placement center. The method of selection varies from college to college so as to be best adapted to different campus situations. However, the nominations must be approved by a college official. On this campus the selections are made by Student Council. This year five women and seven men were honored by having a brief biography of them appear in the Whos Who. These seniors come from six different states-Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Vermont, and Pennsylvania. They are also studying in six different maior fields which include speech, psychology, English, business and economics, iournalism, and the pre-ministerial field.

Bock row, left to right: Raymond Dunlap, Joan Kerensky, Robert Hineman, Renwick Jackson, Paul Kolterjohn, Stanley Hartung. Homecoming weekend-with its house dec- orations, dinners, dance of the year, Queen Bee, and Gene Krupa-inspiring Spiritual Emphasis week and Dr. Gerstner-Will Orr Welcome day and the colorful floats-the melodious battle for the Sing and Swing cup on Parents Day-all of these big times on campus are sponsored by Student Council. This governing body is made up of three representatives from each class, and one repre- sentative from every organization on campus. President of the council for the past year was Raymond Dunlap, Stanley Hartung was vice STUDENT CGUNCIL president, Phyllis Williams, secretary, and Duff Brown, treasurer. Westminster Shares campaign is managed by members of Student Council. This year the drive was well-organized and successful. Fresh- man Hell Week is also under the control of the council, and council members serve on the iudicial board on the dreaded Tribunal Night. Student Council, besides arranging social affairs and campus campaigns, also promotes student-faculty relationships and works for general student welfare.

The Council instructed fresh- men in the purposes and activities of the fra- ternities in an orientation class this fall. The constitution and by-laws were rewritten this year, and one of their provisions includes a permanent set of rush rules and an outline of the rush program. Officers of the council are Jack Williams, president, Charles Bartoe, vice president, and Bernard Kessler, secretary- treasurer.

Pi Sigma Pi, the scholastic honorary on campus, was founded in T939 for the purpose of encouraging high scholarship, cultural interests, and worthy character. Students working for an A. B. or a B. S. degree who have a 2.4 average at the end of their fifth semester are eligible for membership. D In addition to sponsoring the honors convocation the honorary conducts a book drive dur- ing the spring. The purpose of this drive is to enlarge the facilities of the library in order that a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa may be established on Westminster's campus. Regular meet- ings were held during the year. Special speakers were Dr. Purdy who explained educational methods in England and Dr. Orr who gave his President's report on education. Pi Sigma Pi joined with Kappa Delta Pi to sponsor a debate on federal aid to education. The officers for the year l948-49 were Ed Good, president, Adele Hinman, vice president, and Bob Hinman, secretary-treasurer.

TARGET Junior girls who have personality, brains, and extra-curricular interests may aspire to membership in Target, senior women's honorary. Organized in l934, Target's aim is to get Mortar Board, national senior women's honorary, on campus. From five to seven girls are selected each year on the basis of scholarship, campus activities participation rated on a point system, and personality. Peggy Morris served as president of Target this year, Martha Kilgore, as vice presi- dent, Kay Roedema, secretary, and Norma Hasselman, treasurer. Other members are lda Falsetti, Elizabeth Cummings, and Jean Garvin. f- 4 Left to right, Normal Hasselman, Jeon Garvin, lda Falsetti, Margaret Morris, Catherine Roedema, Elizabeth Cummings, Martha Kilgore. CWENS Traditionally, the first formal dance of the year is sponsored by Cwens, the sophomore girls' honorary. This Crown and Sceptre Ball, entertainment of the Freshman girls, and serving the Homecoming Day refreshments are the outstanding activities in Cwens' year. Cwens was first organized on campus as Sceptre in l942. In l946 it became a mem- ber of Cwens, the national. The purpose of Cwens is to promote leadership, scholarship, and friendship among sophomore women, to promote leadership among freshmen women, and to serve the college in every way possible. Advised by Miss Miriam Hawkins and Miss Helen Sittig, the officers are Roberta Cloud, president, June Bender, vice-president, Caroline Cox, secretary, and Nancy Gould, treasurer. Other members are Emmy Lou Gladden, Mina Belle Packer, Claire Philippbar, Nancy Shane, and Norma Williams.

We Betas had lots to sing about when we won the Homecoming award for our Fall, Winter, and Spring alumni welcome. Through- out the year the notes to our song became louder and clearer, as we added cups and trophies to our mantle. Volleyball and basket- ball cups were placed side by side. The national scholarship trophy, won for two consecutive years, sits maiestically in the center of the mantle, while to the right, the campus scholar- ship cup and the Founders Day award are found. Heard intermittently above the vigorous songs of victory, are soft memory melodies of houseparties, the Winter Formal at New Castle Field Club to tunes by Roger Jarvis, the Community House converted to a dreamy Stardust Lounge and the climax of all-the l72 BETA SIGMA CMICRON Spring Dinner Dance at Schuster's. And as these melodies grow sweeter in retro- spect, we remember other tunes of the year- Pat, the Perfect American Type, our Home- coming queen candidate, forty-five pastel-clad Betas singing You'll Never Walk Alone in the overcrowded gym on Parents' Night, twelve peppy Freshman pledges on December 17, Miss Risher, our house mother, and her new car, and Julie, Stevie, Garvin, Lou, Margie, Mary, Dele, Pat, Kay, Turtle, Nancy, and Rusty counting the days until graduation with reluc- tant glances at the underclassmen. Phyllis Ackerly was the Beta Sig leader this year. Other officers were Adele Hinman, vice president, Marjorie Robertson, secretary, and Nancy Henderson, treasurer. Working together for a common goal, and planning good times together, the Beta Sigs wove the songs, tunes, and sweet melodies of the year into a symphony of lasting friendship.

Under the protection of the owl and the white carnation there are T02 chapters of Chi Omega found in 42 of the 48 states. ln l925 the Omicron Gamma chapter was installed at Westminster and became the first national sorority on campus. The Chi Omega pin goes everywhere. It worked hard on the homecoming campaign and thought up such slogans as There's a Phyl in your future. lt cut up pumpkins for the Halloween house party, it rushed around the kitchen one Saturday morning and made the pancake breakfast for other campus women a huge success. The pin played bridge in the TUB with Mary, Buzzy, Maggi, and Eve . . . listened to Ep and Florrie sing . . . knitted argyles with Josie, Char, and Edna . . . had midnight snacks in the first floor back . . . yelled with Phyl, Nan, and Sally as they led the cheerleading at the games . . . cleaned up the pond and the wishing well . . . went to Mermaids with Jean, Mary Lou, Jane, and Stretch . . . and always had a wonderful time. 'I74 At Easter the pin hid bunnies, chicks, colored candy eggs, over the lawn and on the edge of the pond and then stood back and watched while town children squealed with delight when they found a bunny on a branch of a pine tree or candy eggs under the rocks surrounding the pond. ln April on WOW day the pin turned out dressed in forty-niner and prospector costumes to take first prize with its float. The theme was We didn't find gold ore, we found Will Orr. The X and a horseshoe attended rush parties, dances, and picnics at Garretts Lake. Then climaxing its social program for the year the pin went to the big formal dance, and said good bye to all the seniors. Now it looks ahead to another year. In l948-T949 Chi Omega was under the leadership of Jean Bricker, president, Margaret Swagler, Vice President, Norma Hasselman, Secretary, Jane Coleman, Treasurer, Louise Vogt, Pledge Mistress, and Josie Hartman, Cor- responding Secretary.

I75 Things are perkin' at the K D house not only described our annual Coffee Cozy for other sorority and independent girls but also describes our whole year's activity on campus. ln the fall with Winnie, Jan, Marty, and Marge in charge, things were really perkin' in the sorority. Homecoming weekend became even more exciting and thrilling when we saw Bee Jones crowned homecoming queen at the big dance, Friday, October 28. The next morning at 6:00 A. M. the alarm clock went off, and we all crawled out of bed to decorate the house as Hansel and Gretel's house of sugar and spice. Jan Cuthbert acted as chairman for homecoming. Days and weeks slipped by and we were all busy going to classes and participating in volleyball games, honorary meetings, teas, and spiritual emphasis week, and at the same time planning rush parties. Then just before we went home for Christmas we discovered that fourteen freshman girls had chosen us as their sorority sisters. Vacation didn't find us idle, for on December 22 we held our annual Christmas dinner dance at the Pines in Pitts- burgh. 176 KAPPA DELTA Spring came along and brought new life and new leadership into the sorority. Jan Cuth- bert was chosen as president. Jimmy McBeth, Marge Powell, Peggy Adams, Janie Boore, Jean Swindler, and Lois Mathews were elected to assist her. Slumber parties, picnics at Biberichs, spaghetti dinners at Barbe's, house- parties, and dinners began to fill the social calendar. Soon plans were under way for the WOW day float, for the spring formal, and for Parents' Day and Sing and Swing. The huge turtle which wasn't very fast but was glad to see Will Orr at last wasn't too slow to capture third prize. The following Friday night saw all of us at the Castleton dancing dreamily to the music of Roger Jarvis and his orchestra. Finally the music ceased, gowns stopped swirling, and couples drifted out- another perfect White Rose formal was added to the K D scrapbook of memories. And so the year draws to a close, it has been a busy but a happy one. We wish our seniors Winnie, Marty, Margie, Jo, Hammy, Lindy, and Norma Jean were going to be here next year as things start perkin' at the K D house again.

With its two ever- green trees out front, its wide porch, and its sorority emblem shining in the window, it means home to the Sigma Kappa girls who live there. The house has seen a full year of activity as it watched . . . the girls, after decorating the house with pumpkins, cornstalks, black cats, and witches for their halloween party, entertaining their escorts there and concluding the party by hiking to the College Woods-the week before homecoming paint brushes drawing calendars featuring Queenie Gould as the Ess-Kay Girl of i948 and picks and shovels viciously bury- ing the members of Genevds football team with Mel Hetzler acting as the undertaker- the front door opening again and again as freshman girls came to the rush parties and left laughingly with favors in their hands-the members rushing out to Browne Hall and Hill- side to welcome the fourteen girls who had signified they wanted to belong to Sigma Kappa Sorority-best dresses being pressed and high-heeled shoes being cleaned and polished as the girls prepared for their Christ- mas party at Schuster's. After a lonely and empty Christmas vacation the house gladly welcomed back its residents and again watched them begin to hurry in and 178 out the door. It saw Isy receiving the gavel from Scuff, and Alice, Pooky, Pappy, Marie, Mariie, and Marty relieving Winnie, Emmy Lou, P. J., lsy, and Marie of their offices. lt stayed awake all night the night of the slumber party and listened to the ghost stories being told through the wee hours of the morning. lt smiled broadly when the announcement was made that Helen was chosen May Queen and beamed when the beautiful white and orchid float with Helen as the orchid, the girls with their new lavendar outfits, and the slogan, Orchids to Will Orr, pulled out of the drive- way. lt hummed softly when practices for Sing and Swing were held. lt tried to expand its walls as it welcomed the other sorority and independent women to the bridge party. lt sniffed and sniffed as delicious dinners were served to parents on Parents' Day. Then it saw the girls in formals as they left to enioy an evening of dancing to the music of Roger Jarvis and his orchestra when the sorority held its annual spring formal at the Ellwood City Country Club on May 6. It watched sadly as Evie, Jan, Scuff, Queenie, Holly, Pearhead, Winnie, Esther, Marie, Emmy Lou, Audrey, and Lydia took off their caps and gowns and packed their diplomas. Yes, the Sigma Kappa house will never for- get the busy but happy year of i948-1949. SIGMA KAPPA , , 'M y . QQ? 7 . it , :Evite if S 4 J. ,, , ,S C ft- twg'E,?zUf 1 'i iii?

First she had to manage Char's cam- paign, and then she converted the Elliott house into a palace for Homecoming Day. She racked her brain for ideas and made plans for a successful rush season. After the final bids were turned in, your TU girl welcomed thirteen pledges. In December we found her getting acquainted with old St. Nick at the Christmas party in the Grange Hall. She was so proud of Hidge, Westminster's Block queen when she watched Jim Ross crown Hidge at the Winter Wonderland formal. February came, and she worked on plans for a Valentine party. March found her and her sisters spending an evening with the Beta Sigs in Stardust Lounge. How dreamy she felt in her new chiffon, dancing out her l:3O 180 THETA UPSILON permission, at the big Spring formal at New Castle Field Club! Al Colello's orchestra-and mmmm . . . her escort looked nice in his tux. On April 30, at Sing and Swing, she sang Over the Rainbow under the TU's rainbow colors. Her one final fling came in May when she and her sisters had a picnic at McConnells Mills. Your Theta U girI was proud of her officers, too. They were Ida Falsetti, president, Mary Lou Hubbard, vice president, Audrey Bryan, secre- tary, Patricia Johnson, treasurer, Joan Henry, alumni officer, Eva Jane Smith, editor, and Charmaine Hazen, chaplain. As the year fin- ished, she waved goodbye to Jean, Pat, Audrey, Daryl, Mariorie, Janie, Helen, Mary Lou, Ida, and Hidge, and eagerly looked forward to another year with Theta Upsilon.

Participation in the national association of independent students is a large part of the life of Quadrangle mem- bers, also.

Many students on our campus have been inquiring about the men wearing those striking, unique arrowhead pins and keys. Those are the symbols of the organization ot lndependent Men. Of course, this answer only arouses such questions as, 'lWhat is the purpose of this organization? ls it a progressive chapter? and, Are any ot its members the leaders of Westminsters campus lite? The Independent Mens Organization started in April, 1946, to give non-fraternal men par- ticipation in student-administration relation- ships, campus activities, and to help them be- come a part ot the progressive spirit which dominates our campus. Officers of the independent men for T948 were Stanley Hartung, president, George Roskos, vice president, Richard Coleman, secre- tary, Lester Jones, treasurer, and Louis Nicastro, corresponding secretary. Alpha Sigma Phi's cardinal and stone ban- ner again flew high over all the phases of Westminster's campus life. Our candidates were elected to the presi- dency of the senior, iunior and freshmen classes and half of the other elected officers were Alpha Sigs. Student Councils new president and his predecessor both wear the Alpha Sig pin. And the banner was kept flying by winning Student Councils Sing and Swing cup for the third consecutive year to make it permanently ours. Alpha Sig pins are in prominence in every activity. For the captains of the swimming and soccer teams, editor and advertising manager of the Holcad, president of Masquers and other honorary fraternity heads, and some of the stars on the football field and basketball floor wear the badge of Alpha Sigma Phi. 184 ALPHA SIGMA PHI Turning to the social calendar, our winter and spring formals, unique houseparties, and outstandingly lavish serenades highlight the social scene. Again the banner flys high as fraternity bonds are strengthened at the father- son banquets and informal dinners. Following rushing forty-nine men accepted Alpha Sig bids. Among these men were three of the freshmen class officers, stand-outs on the swimming and basketball team, and one of the ideal freshmen. Alumni Day will see the burning of the mort- gage on the chapter house plus the completion of an interior redecoration job started last fall. Thus under the able direction of Bernie Kessler and Don Totzke, past and present presi- dents of the fraternity, the cardinal and stone of Alpha Sigma Phi again have been outstand- ing on the Westminster campus scene. -. , Left to Right FRONT ROW: James Simpson, Bruce Catt, Edwin Dotten, Charles Sittig.

Thirty-seven men were pledged during the fall semester in time to attend the chapter Christmas Formal which was held at the Greenville, Pa., Service Center on December l8, 1949. Social chairman Frank Thom and his committee did a fine iob for the formal which turned out to be another of the fine dances for which Kappa Phi Lambda, and now Sigma Nu, has been noted throughout its 87 years as a campus organization. Six house parties were held during the year under such themes as Sadie Hawkins Day, and Sports Hop. The pledges chose the theme Saint Patrick's Shamrock as the theme for the annual pledge house party which was held at College Hall on January TS, 1949. Commander Jack Williams and Lieutenant Commander Harold Hassel demonstrated their interior decorating abilities by taking charge of remodeling the cellar of the chapter house into a game room which has since offered facil- ities for table tennis. At the annual Honors Convocations, Com- mander Jack Williams accepted the scholarship cup for the fall semester for Epsilon Psi, an honor which has been held for three consecu- tive semesters. On April l3, l9-49, the chapter held its an- nual Spring Formal at the Mahoning Country Club, and all who attended were of the opin- ion that it was one of the finest dinner dances in recent years. In the line of intramural sports, the touch football teams of Sigma Nu tied with Sigma Phi Epsilon for the fall championship. A closely fought playoff battle gave the Sig Eps the championship cup in the basketball intramural league, as the SPEs won, 20-18. With graduation at hand the chapter wishes to extend good luck and thanks for a iob well done to Harold Hassel, Lieutenant Com- mander, John Lukacs, Recorder, Jack Williams, Commander, and Rich Thayer, Assistant Treas- urer, who will be graduated in June. A wel- come is extended to the newly elected officers for next year who are: Al Waugaman, Com- mander, Harry Sample, Lieutenant Commander, Howard Hazlett, Recorder, John McClure, Treasurer, Jim Ambill, Assistant Treasurer, Alex Spisak, Reporter, and William Douthett, Alumni Contact Officer. The Chapter also extends wishes of good luck and says come back and visit us all you can to all its other senior members who will be graduated in June and August, and eagerly awaits for next fall and another successful and pleasant year with Sigma Nu at Westminster.

Shortly hereafter we completed our rushing by pledging forty-three men. About the first significant incident of the new semester was the pledges throwing the actives into the creek. They followed up by winning the now annual tug-of-war contest with the Alpha Sig pledges. The spirit exhibited in this event was highly commendable on the part of both the fraternities. Our Spring formal was held at the South Hills Country Club. The only other inci- dent before the end of the semester was dis- playing the trim lines of our ship in Dr. Will 190 tound all but tive men on the basketball squad were brothers of his. Our representation was equally good on the other athletic teams, in- cluding Captain Fred Cassell of the swimming team. These teams were all coxwained by Sig Ep managers. Boatswain Rock Salt Solomon's pledges took on the iob of a complete interior repaint- ing of the house. The Lambda Lounge seemed to be the nerve center of this year's activities. lt was here that the final entry in the log was made,-in a proud hand, we read, Good ship. Well done.

Our athletic field, one of the most well- known campus features, is a natural l l ANOTHER WINNING YEAR IN SOCCER Westminster's soccer team kept up the suc- cessful winning pace it set last year by closing the season with a record of four wins, two de- feats, and one tie, but gave up possession of the mythical district championship which it won in I947. The Blue and White decisively obliterated their first three opponents by piling up a total of I8 points to their foes' five tallies. As the season began the Titans won a 6-I victory over the Edinboro State Teachers eleven. Captain Paul Schaeffer took scoring honors as he broke through the Tutors' defense for three goals unassisted. Bringing their two-game total to I4 points, the Titans defeated the Thiel Bobcats in their second contest, 8-I. The Blue and White booters set a district record for most goals scored in a first period in this game as they pushed five markers into the nets. Allegheny's Gators were the next victims of the Blue and White wave as they fell before the Titan onslaught, 4-I. The total goals scored thus far were I8-four over last year's com- plete total of I4 points. Following the Allegheny win, the Blue and White played Grove City to a scoreless tie in two five-minute overtime periods. The Titan for- ward line was in scoring territory many times but could not get past the Crimson defense. Slippery Rock's Tutors tumbled the Burrymen from the ranks of the undefeated as a Green and White forward kicked a goal with 55 sec- onds of playing time remaining in the game. Up to this time both teams had threatened but no scores had resulted. This game gave the Rockets the district championship. Playing in mud and drizzling rain for the fourth time during the season, the Titans met the Carnegie Tech Skibos on the latters' home field and presented one of their best passing attacks of the year. The contest was put on ice early in the game and the final score, 6-I, gave the Blue and White their fourth win. The Burrymen traveled to Grove City for their final contest and the second meeting of the two schools. This time the scoring ice melted and the Grovers came out on the long end of a 3-2 score to defeat the Titans. The final totals for the season were 27 goals .scored by the Titans to nine for their opponents which once more sets a very impressive record for a Burry-coached team. Those men who donned the Blue and White for the last time this season are: Captain Paul Shaffer, center forward, Chuck Elgin, right half, Len Harding, outside wing, Bob Dunseath, goalie, Dick Borowicz, outside right wing, and Bill Kelley, inside left wing. 6 Edinboro I 8 Thiel I 4 Allegheny I O Grove City O O Slippery Rock I 6 Carnegie Tech I 2 Grove City 3 4 SOTCCE R Sad???

Having only two returning lettermen as a nucleus around which to build a squad, Coach Harold Burry, Westminster's minor sports mentor, found his boys lacking in the experience which his opponents po:- sessed. The Titan harriers started the season by losing home meets to Case Institute and West Virginia University by identical scores, 22-33. Having gained some valuable experience in their first two meets, the Blue and White thin-clads won their first meet on October 21 as they defeated Gannon College of Erie, 18-37. Led by the long-striding Renny Jackson, the Burrymen took six of the first seven places in the meet. Two days later the Titan thin-clads played host to a strong University of Pittsburgh squad, coached by the veteran Carl Glson. Not yet rested after the Gannon meet, the Blue and White flyers lost, 15-40, as the Panthers garn- ered all of the first five places to register a shut-out. Nealson, crack Pitt runner, set a new course record of 33 minutes and 21 Covie hill and dalers. lt was a close contest all the way as Jimmy Deighan, freshman speedster from Pitcairn, Pa., passed two Geneva runners on the last mile to carry home the winning points. Slippery Rock and Carnegie Tech proved to be too strong for the Blue and White as the Burrymen lost to the Rockets twice, once at home and once on the Tutors' course, and dropped a single meet to the Tartans, once more by identical scores of 16-39. At the first Rocket meet Renny Jackson, the team's running ace, iniured his ankle, and the Perambulatin' Parson was unable to put forth his best for the remainder of the season. Dunk Wiley, the number two man, pulled a leg muscle in the Tech meet and was unable to run in the last two contests. On November 13 the Blue and White har- riers lost their final meet as they were out- pointed, 20-35, by the Bethany Bisons on the latters' home course. The only member of the squad who will be lost through graduation is Renny Jackson, who has been one of the outstanding runners in tri-state competition for the past three years. Coach Burry has put out championship cross- seconds. Renny Jackson set a new record for the Beaver Falls course as the Titans traveled to Geneva on October 28 to run against the country squads in the past, and next year, with a year's competition under their belts, his boys should produce the kind of a winning squad for which Coach Burry is noted. 22 Case 33 22 West Virginia 33 38 Gannon 17 15 Pitt 40 28 Geneva 27 16 Slippery Rock 39 16 Carnegie Tech 39 16 Bethany 39 6 KNEELING: Daryl Wiley, James Deighan, Richard Wakefield, Edward Lindenberg.

Won three, lost four, and tied one. That is the way Westminster's T948 football season has gone down in the record books. Although this record is not too impressive, the '48 season will long be remembered as one of heads-up football, surprising upsets and heart breaking disappointments for the Blue and White. Using the T formation for the first time in the history of gridiron campaigns at West- minster, the Titans showed an improvement over the T947 season by winning over Juniata, Bethany, and Geneva, while losing to Slippery Rock, Allegheny, Waynesburg, and Grove City, and playing Thiel to a scoreless tie. The Titans started their season with a MIXING IT UP .... FLJMBLEIHL HE WAS STOPPED!!! WHARTON OFF TACKLE. iourney to Slippery Rock on September 25. Still unfamiliar with the T formation the Blue and White backs fumbled ll times and the Rockets took advantage of this, trimming the Titans, 20-0. The following Saturday, October 2, the Hetzlermen returned home. Dick Wharton, Dick Sylvester, and Mac Ward paced the Titans to an upset 20-0 victory over the Juniata Indians. Wharton scampered 65 yards for the first score of the game early in the first period and from then on Westminster was completely in command. Later in that first period Mac Ward hit the center of the line from three yards out and went over standing up for the second Titan TD. Six minutes before the first half ended, Dick Sylvester intercepted a Juniata pass and ran unmolested 72 yards to hit pay dirt. Champ Barthelson kicked the extra point to finish the scoring. On Saturday, October 9, the Titan's traveled to Thiel where the two teams battled to a scoreless tie. A strong wind and a muddy field tied up both offenses and a punting duel ensued between Westminster's Champ Bar- thelson and Thiel's Jack Hill. The Titans pushed to the Bobcat's l5 yard line once during the contest, but that was as far as either team was able to progress throughout the game. The Blue and White dropped their second game of the campaign to Allegheny on October T6, by a score of T3-0. Dick Sylvester ran 8l yards for a touchdown which was called back on a Titan clipping penalty. Late in the game Dick Wharton pushed into the 'Gator second- ary and got away for a 30 yard run but this threat was bottled up by the Daddio-coached linemen and Westminster finished the game with no score. Playing their best brand of ball of the sea- son, the Titan eleven downed Bethany 20-7 on Saturday, October 23, for their second win of the season. Dick Wharton again led in the ground gaining department and scored the first TD on a 28 yard sweep around right end. Late in the first period Gaylord Lutz took a Bison punt on the mid-field stripe and raced for the second score. ln the second quarter Mac Ward climaxed a Titan drive by plunging l3 yards for the final score. The Bisons scored their lone six-pointer on a 35 yard pass late in the second period. The Hetzlermen pulled a major upset in Westminster's natural bowl on October 30 by downing a heavily-favored Geneva eleven, 26-25, in a thrill-packed game before a sell-out Homecoming crowd. The victory for the Blue and White sent the sports experts who picked Geneva to win by three touchdowns out on a limb, and sent the Alumni home happy. With Champ Barthelson passing and Dick Wharton running the Covie linemen right into the ground, the Titans outlasted an equally potent Geneva offense. On November 6, playing ankle-deep in mud and under a dull overcast, the Titans dropped their third game, 20-0, to a determined Waynes- burg eleven. The Blue and White offense was conspicuous by its absence all during the con- test and their offense was little better. The only bright spark in an otherwise dismal off- day was the running of Dick Wharton who at- tempted vainly to reiuvenate the faltering run- ning attack. The season ended with a sour note on the following Saturday, November 13, as the Crimson of Grove City handed Westminster its fourth defeat, 7-0. Five seniors played their last game of inter-collegiate football for the Blue and White. They were: Bill Conrad, tackle, Cy Krivosh, tackle, Jim Kettles Ross, end, Bernie Kessler, guard, and Wally Wielgus, back. Dick Wharton was the Titans' backfield wizard as he paced their running attack throughout their eight-game schedule. Through his efforts he gained for himself a position on the second team backfield in the All-State selections. He gained a total of l,lO7 yards in eight games and in four of these contests gained more than 200 yards per game. Dick Sylvester was runner-up in the ground-gaining record book, clipping off a total of 567 yards in eight games. Mac Ward, a freshtnan starter cs.. Charles Paul Richard Wharton Richard Sylvester Einor Barthelson i L in the backfield, was responsible for gouging holes in opponents' forward lines, and Champ Barthelson proved himself a capable field general under the new T system. On the line Cy Krivosh, Brady Mitchell, Bernie Kessler, and Jim Ambill were outstanding on offense, Brick Stevens, Victor Taylor, Bill Conrad, and Steve Bianchi proved themselves to be practically im- pregnable on defense. Last year this department of the Argo stated 0 Slippery Rock 20 20 Juniata O 0 Allegheny l3 0 Grove City 7 that better things were expected of coach Mel Hetzler and his squad in l948, and commended the coach on his ability to keep his boys in excellent physical shape. Our expectations were turned into reality. We sincerely believe that the l948 football campaign was a success and feel sure that next year will bring even better results. Our congratulations to Coach Hetzler and fifteen big rah's for him and his squad. 20 Bethany 7 26 Geneva 25 0 Waynesbu rg 20 Bottom Row, Left to Right: Einor Barthelson, James Ross, Victor Taylor, Achilles Copetas, Bernard Raymond, Charles Paul, Harold Heilman.

Their Hold That Tiger almost weakens the rafters in the gym at basketball games. The band's most important iob is to give this atmosphere to our athletic events. ln addition to this, they present a spring band concert which was held April 25, this year, and provide the background for the Senior's last march on Commencement day. The band was begun in the fall of T930 by Professor Donald O. Cameron, then a student of the college. lt grew from a membership of twelve members to a membership ot sixty-seven, and is still under the direction of Professor Cameron.

Our season's record of 15 wins and eight ses shows a winning record, but our con- :utive home court average was seriously eatened on several occasions. As we look over the season we find the :ins starting out by defeating a strong Kent ite quintet, 56-40, on the local hardwoods Pearl Harbor day, December 7. Titan guard 'ry Hyder was outstanding for the Blue and hite both on defense and offense, as he scored 19 points and bottled up the Golden Flashes' scoring attack time and again. Alan Mac McCullough, Titan workhorse, had one of the big nights of his career as the Washabaughmen took the Geneva Covies to the cleaners, 73-56, in another home game on December 14. Mac scored 29 points against the Covies that night and was a real Titan on the defense. December 17 found the Blue and White playing host to Sterling College, one of West- minster's sister schools located in Kansas.

Pat King, Ed Halas, Harry Abrahams, Johnny Abrahams, and Dave Hawbaker played outstanding ball for the freshmen. Thankful for the rest afforded them by the frosh, the varsity pounced upon the Plaid from Carnegie Tech the next evening, Decem- ber l8, for a 62-4l win over the Tartans. Jack Riehl, Marty Chetlin, and Mike Theodore pro- vided the opposition for the Titans who weren't to be denied the victory. The Titans cut short their Christmas holidays and returned to New Wilmington a week early to prepare for a charity exhibition game sponsored by the Farrell Lions club. This time the Tall Boys met a mean University of Louis- ville aggregation who trailed for a time and then surged ahead to win 78-57. However, Westminster did not do as poorly as the score indicates, for with three minutes to go they held a four-point lead. Louisville was one of the few teams the Titans met that used a similar fast-breaking, race-horse system of basketball. Following the Louisville game the local squad met St. Francis college of Loretto, Pa., in a two-game series that proved to be among the most exciting contests in Westminster's floor history. The home game winning streak which had been perviously extended to 52 straight games was put to a severe test as the Titans -edged the Frankies, 57-56, on January 5. Jerry Hyder's field goal with 2 minutes and 58 seconds remaining in the contest proved to be the margin of victory as the Blue and White :froze the ball until time ran out. A week later the two teams met again at the Duquesne Gardens in Pittsburgh. Another thriller ensued . . . this time ending up in a victory for Coach Skippy Hughes' fast- Tbreakers, as a foul shot in the last 50 seconds -of playing time netted them a 55-54 victory. After defeating their arch rivals, Slippery Rock Teachers, by a score of 53-39, the Tall 'Boys fell victims to one of the season's surprise 'upsets as they failed to measure up to Coach 204 Slim Ransom's Geneva Covenanters and on the Covies home court, 62-53. A set of pre-finals blues failed to aft the Titans on January T4 as they easily feated a Bethany Bison quintet, 63-48, on campus court, but their road iinx continued plague them as they lost a 67-76 contest Coach Frankie Gustine's Waynesburg Yell Jackets on January T7. During the lull provided by semester exe the Blue and White regained the services forward Bruce Wagner who iniured his ar in the Louisville game, and they traveled Greenville, Pa., where they dropped a fight Thiel squad, 85-75, on February l. lt was this contest that Al McCullough and Johr Abrahams staged a scoring duel with Abrah coming out on top with 27 points, iust th over McCullough's markers. Kent State's Golden Flashes revenged earlier defeat on February 5 as they defea the Titans, 76-58, in a loosely played conti After knocking off an ill-fated Bethany f' on the latter's home courts, 70-66, the Tit- made their annual pilgrimage to Pitt Stadi on February T2. A large crowd of Westmina fans saw Doc Carlson's ice cream eaters p piggy-back before they settled down to r tough business of defeating the Blue and Wh 51-40. The Panther iinx, which has las since T946, continued to ride the Tit shoulders that night as a bad fourth qua gave the Jungle Cats the game. Bouncing back from the Pitt defeat, Titans ably defended their unblemished ho record by dropping a highly touted Washi ton and Jefferson team, 47-44, on February McCullough and Dembinski teamed up drop the Prexies who were led by D Knocke, a smooth working lad who has b a thorn in the side of the Tall Boys for past three years. Frankie Gustine, former Pittsburgh Pirate field star and coach of the Waynesburg Yell Jackets, brought his squad to Westminst campus on February T9 and found that gregation of Chuck Karmarkovich and com- ny were not destined to break the Titans' me record as the Jackets lost their sting and a game, 56-4l. After dropping Thiel for the second straight me during the season, 72-47, the Blue and hite played their annual floor classic against t on the Farrell High School court on Feb- :ry 26. The Pitt whirlygig almost didn't :ceed in iinxing the Tall Boys as they fast- :ake the Jungle Cats to a l9-8 lead at the d of the first quarter. Things then went from d to worse, climaxed by a field goal famine the second half during which the Titans 'ik only two field goals, and the Panthers me out on top, 50-40. The Towering Titans finished the T948-'49 :son with a 54-33 win over the Slippery ck Tutors and a win and a loss by identical scores of 59-55 with the Washington and Jefferson Presidents and the Carnegie Tech Tartans. After losing a tough one to the Prexies on March 3, the Titans played hosts to the High- landers from Tech and dropped them in a hard fought game which found the Plaid lead- ing until midway in the fourth quarter. Captain Chester Dembinski, playing his last game for the Blue and White, received an overwhelming ovation during time out between the third and fourth periods of the Tech contest. With much more in the way of winning basketball due here at Westminster in the future we extend hearty congratulations to Coach Grover C. Washabaugh and his team for a season filled with thrills and eagerly await next year and the opening bar of Hold That Tiger.

Burry the disciples ot stroke, splash, and flutter-kick swam their way to another winning season in l949. Opening their season against the tankmen from Grove City, the Titan swimmers came through with a decisive 42-24 victory. Return- ing lettermen Bob Braun, backstrokeg Fred Cas- sell and Bob Ounnett, breaststroke, and tree- stylers Chuck Pitcher, Douglas Reichert, Roger Seaholm, Matt Hosie, Dutt Brown, Bob Orser, Tom Swan, and Captain Bill Wallace put torth their best in that first meet and showed promise ot being a winning combination. Freshmen new-comers Paul Fenwick, Bob Gavett, and Pete Enroth added plenty ot strength in the tree style events. ON YOUR MARK!!! WHATCHA LOOKIN' AT??? PITCH 'ABILLH Allegheny dropped the Titans in the second meet by the count of 37-29, and, although Chuck Pitcher broke the 60-yard free style pool record at Edinboro with a time of :3l.2 seconds, the Tutors defeated the Blue and White, 39-27. Following these two losses came two vic- tories over Grove City, in a return match, and Thiel's Tomcats. The Grovers were sunk, 46-20, and the Titans put on a terrific show of speed to wallop Thiel, 5l-l5. The Blue and White splashers then hurtled over Washington and Jefferson, 39-27, before losing to a strong Pitt squad and dropping two straight meets to Slippery Rock. The Rockets whizzed in with scores of 38-28 and 42-24. The Pittites won by a wide margin of 46-20. Late in February the Plaid from Carnegie Tech invaded the local pool, only to be set back, 36-30.

As defending champions, the Titans took part in the Penn-Ohio relays held in Carnegie Tech's pool at Pittsburgh. Coach Burry's boys met the strongest aggregation of swimmers in the tri-state district and were over-shadowed by Slippery Rock, Allegheny, Carnegie Tech, and Case. The Titans came in sixth in a field of eight teams, giving up their T948 crown to the Tutors from Slippery Rock. Captain Bill Wallace's hard work and fine leadership was a much-needed inspiration for the squad, and the boys feel that this spirit will be instilled in the new co-captains, Bob Braun and Fred Cassell. An added boquet goes to Bob Koepp, the manager of the swimming team for his tireless efforts in keeping the boys ready to go. Along with this go orchids to Coach Burry for pro- ducing another winning team to add to his ever-lengthening string of laurels.

September 12 marked the beginning for freshmen students at Westminster. On that day, 306 students were welcomed in the chapel by Dr. Orr. Following the welcome ceremonies, the stu-. dents were given numerous batteries of tests to determine intelligence and personality stand- ards. The program, continuing during a period of one week, consisted of various other activities not only to acquaint the student with college traditions, but also to keep them from becoming homesick. Mornings consisted of a testing program conducted by Mr. Reed, and Orientation classes directed by Dean Sittig for the women and Mr. Kelly for the men. During the classes, the freshmen were orientated to campus life rules, and traditions. Afternoons were comprised of library tours by the library staff and supervised sports by Registration for freshmen in the McGill library. he physical education department. ln addition o these, students had individual conferences vith their advisors. During the evenings, the freshmen had an :pportunity to get together at a sing in the gym or at YWCA and YMCA ioint meetings. Jn Saturday night, Who's Who was held in he gym. Highlighting the week, the formal freshman 'eception was held at Ferguson Hall on Thurs- lay. At this time, the students are introduced o the faculty. Along with the secular program, the students also have the opportunity to acquaint them- .elves with the religious program conducted Jn Sunday. This included the Bible classes, IYF, and evening services. Freshman Week is traditionally held one Meek before the upperclassmen return to :ampus for the fall semester.

Gospel teams conduct the whole church service Sunday morning. Cara- vans and gospel teams are outgrowths of one of the most important and most active Christian organizations on campus-Life Service. Life Service was organized in the spring of l944. After a spiritual emphasis week, several students wanted to establish an organization on campus dedicated to rendering Christian service to people outside the college. Con- sequently Life Service was founded. The aims of the organization are to serve now, to grow spiritually, and to train for effective future service, anyone interested is invited to become a member. The group has been growing larger each year, and more and more activities are being undertaken. While it functions in some capaci- ties on campus, such as sponsoring the Tuesday night prayer groups, most of its work is still off campus. This year, with more than one hundred members, Life Service Group serves through the caravans and the gospel teams and also does work in orphanages, settlement houses, jails, and institutions for the poor, the aged, and the infirm. Meetings are held on Monday night. The first semester meetings were primarily for training and inspiration. One whole Saturday in October was devoted to the training of the Caravaners. The second semester meetings included programs on short term teaching in mission fields, opportunities, in home missions, and summer opportunities for college students. The officers for the past year are Ross Byers, president, Ray Dunlap, vice president, Louise Hendricks, secretary, and Margaret Anderson, treasurer. The three-fold purpose of Young Men's Christian Association, to improve body, mind, and spirit, was well expressed in this years YM program. Special music, speakers, and prayer meetings helped them spiritually. A project for overseas relief ended with five boxes of clothing being shipped to Europe. At their Wednesday evening meetings in Browne Hall lounge, they exercised their minds by means of discussions, forums, and speakers. Occasional athletic nights at the gym helped them fulfill the third angle of their purpose. Louis Barnhart served as president of the organization during the past year. Other officers were Robert O'Melia, vice president, Frank Davidson, secretary, and Raymond Dun- lap, treasurer. YMCA Dr. Gerstner uses a gesture to emphasize a point in one of his chapel sermons.

CYF A rousing membership contest started Christ- ian Youth Fellowship with a lively spirit last fall, and since then the year has been a whirl of worthwhile meetings. The retreat at Seneca Hills was a high spot in the spiritual life of the group, and the social climax came with the scavenger hunt and party at College Hall. i l Christian Youth Fellowship was organized in October, T946, when Wesley Fellowship and Christian Endeavor merged to form a campus group. Officers are Ray Dunlap, president, Charles Gensheimer, vice president, Ruth Ban, secretary, Robert Rounce, treasurer. 221 This is the Westminster Hour. Every Friday afternoon Westminster Radio Workshop pre- sents a fifteen minute broadcast of campus talent, dramatic and musical, over Sharon's radio station, WPlC. The campus station is located in the McGill Library. A new develop- ment this year is the daily broadcasts to the TUB, consisting of campus, national, and inter- WRW national news events. This offers practical experience in the radio field for the members of WRW. Plans are being formulated for a local radio station, originating in the WRW studios.

OUTING CLUB Take that girl, right by the wrist, and take her around with a grapevine twist, yelled Ralph Buchanan as tellows gracetully caught their partners and spun them dizzily around. Thus, square dancing was the highlight of the Harvest Hoedown, the all college dance sponsored by Outing Club. Outing Club, an organization of out-door minded coeds, was founded in T938 under the sponsorship ot W. A. A. ln T941 it broke away from W. A. A. and formed an independ- ent organization for the purpose of carrying on out-door activities. Outing Club engages in many activities. During the warmer months, members ot Outing Club hiked to Garrett's Lake, the College Woods, and other nearby spots. During the winter, tobogganing, ice- skating, and snow parties comprise the activi- ties. Outing Club also participates in roller- skating and bowling. The main occasion this year was the harvest l OVER YONDER LEA dance which was held October T5 at the gym. Harvest Hoedown featured square and round dancing. A large part of the student body attended, and the dance was a huge success. The otticers of Outing Club tor this year are Mary Hulse, president, Sally McCoy, vice president, Margaret Anderson, secretary, and Anna Lou Kramer, treasurer.

Before the second world war being married was grounds for expulsion in many colleges, and there were very few students at Westminster College be- fore that time who were married prior to graduation. The total veteran population on campus is 477 and of this number lfiofo are married. The housing proiect, set up by the Veterans Ad- ministration and now being operated by the college, provides adequate living quarters for 35 veterans, their wives and families. Westminster is proud of her veterans, and her veterans are proud to call Westminster Alma Mater.

Oral reading, voice and dic- tion, speech making, acting, makeup, and theatre crafts comprised the courses for the institute. Students who attend are eligible for the S200 scholarships available to the outstanding high school senior. Darl Wiley was given this award. In addition to the scholarship, awards are given to the best student in an extempo- raneous speech, an oratory, serious dramatic reading, comic dramatic reading, and radio speaking. Awards were also given for the two outstanding iuniors. The program was concluded by the presen- tation of three plays. This year the students produced The Wedding, Overtones, and Will of The Wisp.

President McKinley's Father Built' an Oldforge The man who built into his son the character that made him President, made quality metals. When the President, yet a boy, tramped the hills of New Wilmington, his father built a furnace and smelted iron of unusual quality. lnto the iron, as well as the boy, were infused such quality, such strength, that they merited the confidence and good will of a nation. The memory of William McKinley and the ruins of his father's furnace linger today as monuments of strength to men and metals. Today, in the shadow of the McKinley furnace, Oldforge tools are forged and treated by master toolsmiths. Super-quality is the result, and is offered to the critical tests of experts.
