Taylor, professor of Latin, Greek, and German and Chairman Emeritus of the Department of Ancient Languages. Dr. Taylor has served the college one quarter of its history, coming to Westminster in 1925. During his career he has taught five languages, and all his life he has been a student of countless others ranging from the dialect of the Anglo-Saxons to the talk of the Eskimos. Don't leave here until you've taken at least one course from Doc Taylor, has been the advice that many a senior has passed down to a freshman. Dr. Taylor's popular classes in Greek and Roman history have always been iammed to capacity. After receiving his Bachelor's degree at De Pauw University, Dr. Taylor was a fellow in Latin at the University of Michigan, where he took his doctorate in 1914. He spent two years in Rome as a fellow at the American Academy, and upon his return to the United States was a Johnston Scholar in Latin at Johns Hopkins University for two years. He has also clone work at the University of Berlin. Dr. Taylor is one who makes much of his leisure time. What time is not spent in language study is given to his favorite sport, chess, and the Taylors' pet cat, Catus Hogus, whose box occupies a spot near the Taylors' front door. Dr. and Mrs. Taylor relax each summer at Vinal Haven in Maine. To this man, whose life has become a symbol of scholarship, we dedicate this book. 4 DR. GILBERT H. TAYLOR 5 It is the duty of the yearbook to depict the life of a college during the year. In this, the Centennial Argo, we have also looked into the years which have gone before us. Our work has not been complete, because we have been hampered by barriers of both time and money. The casual reader will quickly notice that we have deleted material which is usually found in annuals. He will also notice that we have included material which is not conventional. We have made these alterations in order to present what we believe is a clearer picture of college life. ' We hope that you will enioy this book, and that the hours spent with it will recall fond memories of your college. , 6 1 IUUYEARSU1' EDUSATION 1852+-1952 7 fl' 9 4 'A G, ,Y.. Q.

One of the first two colleges in Pennsylvania to grant degrees to women, and the first to grant them the A. B. degree, in 1857. These few words on a signpost in the square of New Wilmington give the passer-by some knowledge of the tradi- tions and history that are Westminster's. Westminster was founded in 1852. The establishment of such a college was first discussed in 1851 by members of the Associate Church who lived in the Lawrence county area. ln January of 1852 the forming of a church school was discussed by members of both the Shenango and Ohio Presbyteries meet- ing in New Wilmington. ln April of that year the first session opened with women being admitted on an equal basis with men. In 1858 the Associate Church and the Associate Reformed Church ioined to form the United Presbyterian Church, under whose care the college was placed, making Westminster the first United Presbyterian college. Twenty students were enrolled in that first session, and classes were held in a small, two-story house. This tiny building housed two class rooms upstairs and an assembly room downstairs. To- day Westminster has more than a thous- and students, including a graduate de- partment in education, 20 buildings, and a centennial program aiming at further college expansion. The Hrd'studentto be graduated was William P. Shaw, a preministerial student from New Castle. Five thous- and others have followed him since that first commencement in 1854. That year there were seven teachers in the college, today Westminster's faculty numbers rnorethan 80. The Ent Adnnnhhanon buHdmg was erected in 1855. lt was destroyed by fire in 1861. The building which re- placed it became known as Old Main. ln 1878 the original gym, a barn-like structure, was built. It was a crude building used primarily for exercises and not equipped for sport contests. It was not until 1895 that the board authorized a gym program, hiring a physical direc- tor, and making physical education com- pulsory at the discrimination of the facuHy. In 1884, Hillside was constructed. H then served as the Conservatory of Music and a Ladies' Hall. The Mary Thompson Science Hall was erected in 1893, and two years later the Clarke Chemical Lab was added, forming the present Science Hall. The building now used for the Conservatory of Music was built in 1906. It was used chiefly for re- ligious life and worship. Glee clubs were formed and informal recitals were given in the afternoons as part of the music course. Instrumental equipment increased greaHy unHlin 1908 the de- parhnentcould boastofthe bestequip- ment in the country. Two additional buildings were purchased for immediate use because of a large increase in the student body. 25 1893 1929 The original Old Main burned in 1927. The breaking of ground for a new Old Main within a few months began an era of expansion, brought about by the Diamond Jubilee campaign of 1927. Browne Hall, originally o dormitory for men, now used for women, was another result of that fund-raising drive. Later, during the l93O's, a new library and two new dormitories were built. Today Westminster looks forward to the future. This year a cam- paign to build four new buildings was begun. The college is eager to improve its academic standing and to maintain its belief in the church rekned coHege. 1938 10 The Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools has accredited the college, it is a member of the Association ot American Colleges and the American Council on Education, and is on the approved list of the Association of American Universities and the American Asso- ciation of University Women. Graduates ot Westminster are accepted without question by the leading graduate and professional schools ot the country. One hundred years ot progress and continued effort to make VVednHndergrowfacadenHcaHy,cuHuraHy,and sphHuaHy havereah ized the idealism of early founders in training youth for character and broadness of knowledge, as well as for vocations and careers. 1952 ll -- l l i 4 l l g +V!-iff' . J' . 3 WESTMINSTER'S PRESIDENTS It is often said that an institution goes as does its leaders. This may be said of Westminster, for much of the growth and development of the college may be attributed to the men who have served the college as presidents. Westminster's first president was Dr. James Patterson. Dr. Patterson began his term of office in March of 1854 and remained until 1867. During his administration the first large college building was erected. Robert Audley Browne followed Dr. Patterson as president until 1870. Browne Hall is named in his honor. E. Tupper Jeffers was the third president of the college. He presided over college activities from 1872 until 1883. Six years after he came, the first gymnasium was built. Jeffers Halls, a women's dormitory, is named in his honor. A classmate of Dr. Jeffers, Robert Gracey Ferguson, was the next president. Dr. Ferguson served from 1884 until 1906, the longest term of office of any Westminster presi- dent. He remained on the cam- pus as a professor and presi- dent emeritus until his death in 1926. Ferguson Hall, upper- class dormitory for women is named in honor of Dr. Fergu- son. The first Westminster gradu- ate to become president of the college was Robert M. Russell. He served from 1906 until 1915. The Russell dormitory for men which is under con- struction is named for him. THE OLD MANSE PATTERSON BROWNE SEFFERS FERGUSON 12 Dr. Charles Freeman, for whom the new science hall will J be named, served as acting president during the interim between the administrations of Dr. Russell and W. Charles Wallace, the sixth president. g y Dr. Wallace, who was J president from 1916 to 1931, was active in planning the f present campus. In 1927 Old Main burned down, and in its place the present Old Main 5 4 Memorial was built. The Dia- mond Jubilee campaign in 1927 not only raised money for the new Old Main, but also for g Browne Hall. He retired as president in 1931. The Chapel is named for him. i ,M nam Following Dr. Wallace's re- g y M N 1 tirement, Dr. Charles Freeman MACK MANSE again acted as president, until Robert Ferguson Galbreath became president in 1932. Dr. Galbreath was the second Westminster graduate to become president. He served until 1946. Two dormitories, Jelters and Ferguson Halls, and McGill Library were added to campus during his term of office. Atter Dr. Galbreath's retirement, Dr. John Orr, chairman of the Department ot Bible and Philosophy, was acting president until H. Lloyd Cleland, a third Westminster graduate, became president in 1946. Dr. Cleland served during the school year of 1946-47. A number of veterans' housing units, the intirmary, the art laboratory, the TUB, student recreational center, were added during his term. Dr. John Orr served again as acting president from 1947 until 1949 when Will W. Orr became president. RUSSELL WALLACE GALBREATH CLELAND 13 The first colleges and universities were founded when a few students gath- ered around some learned man and asked him to pass down to them some of his knowledge. Although the system has been greatly changed since those early seats of learning, the college's faculty and admin- istration are the keystone to education. On the following pages are the members of Westminster's administration and faculty. 14 K' , e 4' 5 , Am . . Fa Q.:f M 'W 'L einem A' 'ew Ak f ,.

Lf WILL W. ORR, D. D., Litt. D. THE PRESIDENT President Will W. Orr came to West- minster in the spring ot 1949 from Des Moines, Iowa, where he had been pastor ot the Westminster United Presbyterian Church. Since his arrival the president has constantly been in action, making speeches, raising money, planning the future col- lege, and sitting down to discuss the prob- lems of the college with students. During the winter the Orrs moved into their new home, the Mack Manse, which is located on the top ot Furnace Hill. Left to right, Wilson, Mrs. Orr, Dr. Orr, Arlis, and David. THE DEAN Dean William Vander Lugt came to Westminster this year from Central College in Pella, Iowa, where he had taught phil- osophy and psychology tor I6 years. Dr. Vander Lugt did his undergraduate work in mathematics at Calvin College, and then spent five years in graduate study at the University of Michigan. Deeply interested in philosophy, Dr. Vander Lugt taught sev- eral courses in that field during the year. On coming to Westminster the new dean quickly became known for his understand- ing of students' problems. WILLIAM VANDER LUGT, Ph.

Students not only receive class instruction in these departments, but also each in- cludes a number of clubs, honoraries, and other extra-curricular activities which cre- ate interest in the student's field. In some departments the work outside the class room is very large, while in other-s-itf-is- not as great. The activity in the various departments at Westminster is presented on the following pages. 34 gn 3 in FQ f' W ff' 'f-fx. 7 ' if -f G -'.. -Q I Mm ,fs 2 af We' an Xa! if 'Yi 4' ,... vnu M' ffm!!- w '10 ' W1 ii ,.., ,F 1 h , ' ' :Bw Qmfligjsr ,, -:. ,I H M : 53 15' :,-- ., ,Kyra A ,..-- V we. X Q32 W . U , ART Several back rooms ofthe music conservatory were used as the first classrooms when Professor Harold J. Brennan began teaching art in 1932. When the department increased so that those quarters were in- adequate, the classes were moved to the Science Hall. In 1947 the college secured a temporary building in which the students could continue their work. New equipment, an art maior pro- gram, and more varied courses were added at this time. The courses now cover art technics, art history and theory, and art education. The growth ot the department is evidenced by the increase in art enrollment from 88 in 1947 to 113 in 1950. The department often works with the speech department in pre- paring posters and scene designs. Also in their work are exhibitions in the display room ot the library, where students exhibit their paint- ings, sculpture, and handicraft. Other exhibitions are borrowed by the department trom various museums and colleges or arranged from the collections of prints and reproductions owned by the college, atifording the students the oppor- tunity ot seeing and examining actual works ot art. This student is modeling clay with her hands. Such courses give students a prospectus ot form and space. Art students spend a large amount ot time in the lab in activities which range from planning designs of soap boxes to studying the slides of the paintings ot early masters. Much of an art student's time is spent at an easel with oils and brush as is the case with this student.

BIBLE AND PHILOSCDPHY Evidences in Christianity was listed among the courses in the first college catalogue, and it is the only course which has been offered every year since then. In i907 a Bible course was included in all four years of college. For a long time it was the tradition for the president to teach the Bible courses, but as enrollment increased, this policy was discontinued. Bible courses range from a general introductory course to the Epistles of Paul, and students receive the fundamentals of philosophy through courses in that field.

About 1905, several courses in biology, such as zoology, ad- vanced botany, geology, histology, and physiology were required in the Scientific Course. By 1912, a Department of Biology had been organized, headed by Professor Owen W. Mills, and several new courses were introduced. Major students may choose from about 20 different departmental courses, with 33 semester hours being required for a major in the sub- iect. Courses range from general biology, which is taught to a large number of non-majors, to organic evolution and complex zoology. The aim of the Department of Biology is to offer a sequence of courses that will provide the necessary background in biology for 'those students who wish to do graduate work, furnish the biological training essential to the professions of medicine, dentistry, and nursing, prepare students for the teaching of high school biology, and give the student who is not primarily interested in biology an appreciation of the world of living things, of which he is a part. 42 Non-Maior Students ln Biology Lab BETA BETA BETA Bottom row, left to right, Donald Bogdon, Roland Nord, Sue Nolph, Leonard Parr, William McCreary.

These courses prepare students who plan to enter such fields as medicine, industry, dentistry, and engineering, and range from general chemistry for non-majors to advanced quantitative analysis and ad- vanced organic chemistry. A minimum of 36 hours is required of all chemistry majors as well as thesis work involving laboratory experi- mentation. New equipment is purchased to keep up with constant renovations in the department. This year the department procured a S300 gas analyzer and a distillation apparatus. The department also has a reference library containing several scientific periodicals. 44 Chemistry students spend a large amount of time in the lab' oratory carrying out class as- signments and conducting inde- pendent research.

In T924 there was only one instructor in Economics and Business Ad- ministration. He was Captain William McKee, who organized the depart- ment by combining the old economics department with the old business de- partment. This new department has grown in the last 28 years to include four full- time professors and one lecturer. It now offers 27 courses in its field. During its growth, Captain McKee started Secretarial Science and Com- mercial Teacher Training courses for which he obtained certification from the State Department of Education. When this section of his department had become large enough, it was made into the separate department which now exists. The original objectives of the department were essentially the same as they are today, to give the student fundamental knowledge of economics and business administration, to give him understanding of maior current business issues, to prepare him for constructive participation in his commun- ity, to create in him a high sense of personal integrity and moral responsi- bility, and to teach him competence in organization, policy formation, and operating procedures. 47 'ws EDUCATICDN AND PSYCHCDLOGY Late in 1950 the Education department and the Psychology de- partment were merged. The new department is headed by Dr. L. H. Wagenhorst, who also directs freshman testing, supervises the assign- ment of student teachers, and acts as liaison officer between the college and the State Department of Public lnstruction in Harrisburg. The Graduate department, formerly a part of the Education de- partment, has been divided, assigning some of the duties to Dr. Wagen- horst and others to Dr. Vander Lugt. In recent years the graduate pro- gram has grown considerably and has achieved recognition from the University of Pittsburgh and Penn State University which enables gradu- ates of Westminster with a M. S. in Ed. degree to do further work on a Ph. D. degree at these universities. The department has grown from a time when two teachers handled both education and psychology. lt now offers T7 elementary education and elementary psychology courses, the same number of secondary courses in both fields, and 20 graduate courses in psychology and education. A guidance program to help students choose the phase of psy- chology in which they wish to work and a series of field trips for psychology maiors are also departmental functions. 48 Student teachers talk over their class work during an in- formal session. The training of practice teachers is one of the main aims of the department. The director of testing ad- ministers tests to all incoming freshmen. On the basis of such texts he gives advice to all those who seek vocational guid- ance. Psychological consulting is one of the phases of the work done by the psychology section of the department. Emphasis is also given to abnormal, child, social, and other fields of psy- chology. 49 Mita.

Journalism was not offered until 1926, when two courses in the English department, journal- istic writing and iournalistic principles, were taught by R. X. Graham. In 1944 two faculty members were employed in teaching iournalism and in 1947 a full journalism maior was granted by faculty action. Today's English and journalism department has a teaching staff of nine members, two of whom teach only iournalism. Subiects which the department has offered this year include Browning, Elizabethan drama, literary criticism, history of the English language, remedial read- ing, publicity, and school publications. Each year a poetry reading festival is held with competition open to all students. Scrawl, the semi-annual literary publication, and Scroll, the English honorary, also are under the department. Students in specialized press receive practical experience by work- ing on cooperating industrial publications for a week. Journalism day, sponsored by Pi Delta Epsilon, national honorary, acquaints high school iournalists with professional aspects, and the United Press teletype, spon- scored by 3O club, gives student experience in editing wire news. Winners in the annual Poetry Reading festival are, left to right, Janet Berkshire, Harry Bowen, Lynnette Wilson, and Donna Dagnon. 52 The activities of the English and Journalism department are widely varied.

They are, left to right, Howard Frisbee, circulation manager, John Shepherd, editor, William Kegel, managing editor, and Alex Spisak, sports editor. The Holcad, weekly student newspaper, derives its name from a news ship of Greek literature. In its earlier days, pages were smaller and con- tained no actual news. An edition in 1900 contained editorials and the early history of the literary department. It was published ten times a year. As early as 1915, controversial issues were handled, such as the pro- test of the expulsion of five football players during the fall season. As many as eight pages occurred in one issue, but advertisements made up much of the inside pages. About forty people serve as staff members of the paper. The maior- ity of this number are reporters. Editors and copy readers work Wednes- day and Thursday evenings in the Holcad's office in McGill Library and then on Friday afternoons the paper is put to bed in the Globe printing shop. The various editors on the staff make up the editorial board which di- rects the work of the paper and decides editorial policy. The Holcad has long prided itself on the freedom of press enjoyed. 1950 editors were John Shepherd, editor, William Kegel, managing edi- tor, James Canon, news editor, James Case, copy editor, and Frances Dav- enport, society editor. r 56 ARGO Members of the Argo staff are caught by the camera as they work in the oftice located on the third floor of the Science Hall. The Argo, college yearbook, is named for the ship in Greek literature which carried Jason and the Argonauts in search of the Golden Fleece. Like all other aspects of the college, the Argo has changed much since the first publication. Early yearbooks contained many articles of a literary nature including essays, narratives, and poetry. At times articles by the president and other members of the administration were included. Pic- tures were ata minimum, and pen and ink drawings were as numerous as photography. Work began on the 1952 Argo in the spring of 1950 shortly after the staff was appointed. First, bids were accepted on photography, engrav- ing, and printing for the book. During the summer, contracts were signed, and a dummy was drawn up. Staff members began in earnest when school opened in September. Picture scheduling, picture taking, copy writing, proof reading, and finally the big rush at the end followed so quickly that staff members had little time to realize that the school year was almost over. The home of the staff was a newly-acquired office in room 32 of the Science Hall. 57 Reading For Knowledge Courses in history, political science, and sociology were combined under one department this year. History courses vary from the history ot the United States to a course in Russian history and another in economic history. In the area ot political science, courses are offered in constitutional law, adminis- tration, international politics, and others. Sociology courses include marriage and the family, comparative social sys- tems, criminology, and cultural anthro- pology. Majors in the department enter gradu- ate school, the teaching profession or other related tields.

Today the only remnants of these courses are classes in Greek, which are taken mostly by pre-ministerial students. Modern languages have been taught in Westminster since 1890. Spanish was not taught until after the first World War. Courses in mod- ern languages were organized by Miss Elizabeth Stewart, who became head of the Department of Modern Languages in 'l929. The size of the department increased at that time. Interest in modern languages decreased after the first World War, although interest in Spanish increased. Prior to the second World War, interest in this field increased again, only to dwindle following the war. French, German, and Spanish are taught. Courses range from beginning classes to senior seminars. Literature courses are offered in detail, as well as a conversation course in French and Spanish. Dr. Ella McRae Stagg, who teaches both French and Spanish, is the present head of the department. Two clubs have been organized in connection with the modern languages department. They are the French club and the Modern Lan- guages club. Honor students in German are members of the last men- tioned club. 60 Language students not only study languages alone but also the culture of the nations where the lan- guage is spoken. Here a Spanish newspaper is be- ing discussed. DELTA PHI ALPHA Members of this German honorary are, left to right, James White, Walter Biberich, advisor John Graham, James Bower, and William Richardson. 61 MATHEMATICS In recent years the Mathematics department has increased to the point where three professors are needed. In former years only one faculty member was needed to handle the department. During the last three years some new courses have been added to the curriculum. General Mathematics for students having a weak back- ground in high school mathematics, vector analysis, and advanced cal- culus for advanced students are some of these. Graduates in this department obtain positions in teaching and are also able to fit themselves into a wide range of technical and statistical positions in industry, in the Civil Service, and in the Armed Services. Extracurricular activities in this department are performed by the Delta Nabla Society. This became in the past year a member of the Pennsylvania Alpha Chapter of the Kappa Mu Epsilon Fraternity, which is a national mathematics honorary society. Membership in this fra- ternity is governed by high requirements in general and mathematic achievement. The fraternity also awards a prize to the freshman who makes the best grade in mathematics. 62 Courses in mechanical draw- ing are also oFfered by the mathematics department. Here a student works at a drawing table in the lab.

Until 1906 it occupied part of Ladies' Hall, now Hillside dormitory. The Conservatory of Music was built in 1906 and still serves Westminster's music maiors. Then, there was a men's glee club of 14 and a girls' glee club of 20, and informal afternoon recitals were held. There was also a successful quartet and a col- lege orchestra of 10 men and women. ln 1908 the Music Department could boast the best instrumental equip- ment in the country, 14 upright pianos and three Steinway concert grand pianos. In 1910 a volunteer band founded in 1904 aided the perform- ance of Handel's Messiah , Since these early years the department has grown through increase in enrollment, faculty, and a doubling of the number of maiors. There have, however, been few changes in the curriculum. There are now fewer straight music majors than music-education maiors. Activities in the department still include choir, glee clubs, band and orchestra. The conservatory building has been altered. One upstairs class room was enlarged in 1940 by the removal of a partition and the group-rehear- sal room was improved by installment of acoustic solitex, while the building was insulated. Department equipment includes all the band instruments, a library of records and scores, and a new full-scale upright Hamilton piano. A closely knit group, music majors relax or study together in the conservatory lounge. 64 A voice major and piano stu- dent practice together. Such co- operation gives students practice in working with each other. An organ student practices at one of the practice organs in the music conservatory. Stu- dents also use the organ in the college chapel. X, P v . can I FQ' -va COLLEGE QUARTET Left to right, John Nelson, John Beiswenger, Art Jones, Ray Op't Hof, William Dembaugh.

WOMEN'S GLEE CLUB 69 PHYSICAL EDUCATION 70 The coach gives a few words of instruction in a basketball session. Activity has been increased in physical education during the past few years. The work of the department includes required courses in physical education for both men and women, men's and women's intramural ath- letics, and intercollegiate competition in nine sports. Both men and women are required to take two years of physical edu- cation. The course for both sexes includes gymnasium, playing field, and swimming pool activity. Men's intramural sports include touch football, basketball, and soft ball. Women compete in intramural volleyball and basketball. ln addition to these, various tournaments are held during the year. The intercollegiate sports played are basketball, baseball, cross-coun- try, football, golf, tennis, soccer, swimming, and track. Tennis and baseball are recent additions having been added in the spring of 1950, and soccer was not played until the end of World War ll. Five groups lead extracurricular activity in this department. The Wom- en's Athletic Association leads in the sports activity among women. Mer- maids is a swimming group which presents an aquatic show each spring. The Outing Club, which is open to both men and women, sponsors hikes, early morning breakfasts, square dances, and other outdoor activities. Block W is a lettermen's group for football and basketball players, and the Varsity Club is a similar organization open to men who compete in all sports. x fy , at ft f Y 'fs 4 ,555 71 1 TVC Bottom row, left to right, Bob Cullison, Art Jones, Bob Braun, Emil Reznik, Bob Gavett, Al Sternbergh.

During Dr. Russell's ad- ministration, much money was spent on renovations within the Science hall, and much of the money was spent specifically for the physics department. The present head of the department is Dr. James Swindler. He is assisted by Dr. Robert Woods. The department prepares its students for teaching, industry, and graduate work. Graduates of this department have gone to M. l. T., Princeton, and Universities of Pittsburgh and Chicago, Indiana and Pennsylvania. In addition to courses for science majors, general courses are offered in physics, astronomy, and acoustics. The non-major physics course is not as technical or mathematical as that which is offered to physics students. The astronomy course is largely descriptive and non- mathematical. The acoustics course for music students deals with the basic principles of physics related to music. Other courses are general and specialized. They include such fields as heat, light, meteorology, electronics, mechanics, thermody- namics, and the kinetic theory. Additional engineering courses are offered in drawing and descriptive geometry. A physics club has been organized for the benefit of those students who are interested in investigating the field of physics. 74 Physics students add prac- tical application to their class- room work. Here students work out a problem in heat in the physics laboratory. PHYSICS CLUB First row, left to right, Donald Hartranft, Earl Veazey, Dr. Robert M. Woods, advisor.

Mrs. Bertha Bay served as the only teacher for the maior until 1939, when she was replaced b Y Russel H. Cansler. Then another teacher was added to the department. During the war there was an increase of interest in the subject, and at one time tive teachers were needed to handle the I arge number ot students. Today three teachers are in the department. Approximately 15 students are gradu- ated trom the major each year.

Rho Gamma, secretarial science hon- orary, derives its name trom the initials of Robert Galbreath Jr., chairman of the de- partment. It was organized three years ago by the students ot the department. Rho Gamma develops better scholarship and closer personal relations among its 40 members. Otticers during the year were Pauline Christos, president, Joan Foster, secretary, and Shirley Voegele, treasurer. 77 I SPEECH AND The main objectives of the Speech department are drama, theatre, radio, general speech, speech correction, and speech education. In order to meet these obiectives the department offers a large number of courses plus much extracurricular activity in the field. Courses in the department include a required freshman speech course, stagecraft, history of dramatic art, radio speech, argumentation, play directing, and various courses for prospective teachers. To give students practical experience in these areas, a large amount of time is spent in speech and dramatic activities outside the classroom. Included in this area are a large number of dramatic pro- ductions. A recent development is the 4:2O Theatre, an experiment directed at interesting new people in the theatre. This group presents plays each week which are directed by members of the course in play directing. Radio also plays a large part in this department's activities. Dur- ing the second semester an hour-long variety show was broadcast each week over WKST-FM in New Castle, and another show was presented over WPIC in Sharon every Monday afternoon. Lenten services were broadcast over the Sharon station from the college chapel on Sunday evenings. Speech students also handled play-by-play broadcasts of Westminster basketball games from the college gym. Debating gives students experience in another form of speech work. The debate team took part in a large number of intercollegiate debates during the year. 78 DRAMATIC ART Students in drama not only get experience in acting, but they also spend long hours backstage handling 'f:- if 22 makeup, set construction, and other aspects of the field. On the right a Little Theatre player is made up before curtain tirne. i Speech students acquire valuable radio experience in the well-equipped station in the library. 79 Dramatic activities date back at least as far as 1887, when Shakes- peare's Julius Caesar and Othello were presented. Under the direction of Miss Grace Acheson, who came in 1900, plays became a regular part of the extra- curricular program. ln 1910, the Wade Club was organized to de- velop dramatic talent in the school. In 1923 a new policy was intro- duced with casting open to all stu- dents. ln the 1925-1926 season a fac- ulty committee selected members for the dramatic club, which was later discontinued. Bells and Buskin was the new dramatic club organized in 1927 to replace the older one. Due to the burning of Old Main, play production was carried on in the Community House. Most of the theatre equipment and scenery had been burned in the fire. Plays were given in the Little Theatre in Old Main Memorial build- ing during the 1929-1930 season. The stage measured only seventeen feet wide by ten feet deep, and the audi- torium seated only one hundred and fifty-four persons. The Masquers dramatic frater- nity was organized in the spring of 1930. Membership was gained by accumulating points through working in Little Theatre productions. This gen- eral policy is still in force, though changes in detail have been made. With the coming of Albert T. Cor- dray in 1928 new scenery was built to replace the old, and a garage on Waugh Avenue was used as a work- shop. More plays were produced dur- ing 1930-1940, and more students participated. In the tall of 1940, the barn hous- ing most ot the theatre's scenery burned down. The construction known to most as the Woodpile was built to house stage scenery and props. Donald Barbe, acting chairman ot the department, came to Westmin- ster in 1943. Some memorable plays in the last years have been Suspect , Ladies of the Jury , I Remember Mama , Glass Menagerie , Angel Street , and The Black Arrow. The year's productions were Dear Brutus , Family Portrait , Twelfth Night , and Pygmalion. Experimental theatre has been encouraged by producing new plays introducing The Theatre in the Round , children's theatre, and staged or script-in-hand productions. The latest venture of the Little Theatre was an experiment with a summer theatre series. Three shows were used for a trial, Light Up the Sky , All My Sons , and Blithe Spirit. Another series, consisting ot six plays, will be offered this summer. One of the recent additions to the Little Theatre is a switchboard which provides excellent lighting ettects.

Three groups that lead the extracurricular activities of the speech department are WRW, Tau Kappa Alpha, and Masquers. WRW in its presentation of radio programs over nearby stations gives its members practical experience in the technical and production end of radio work. It also fosters interest in radio. Tau Kappa Alpha, the debate honorary, participates in many de- bates on current topics with other college debate teams. They also participate in the annual state debaters' convention. Masquers, a local honorary dramatics fraternity, was organized in T930 to give recognition to students for merit in dramatic activity. An annual play, lectures, and the awarding of prizes for the best per- formances in Little Theatre plays during the year are some ofthe varied activities of this group. All of these organizations utilize their speech and dramatics studies by practical application in the activities of these organizations. 82 TAU KAPPA ALPHA Seated, left to right, Mr. Bruce Carlton, advisor, Dale Splitstone, Ellen Rutherford, Frank Jones.

Student Council's weekly meetings keep it ahead of the rest of the campus and ready to act when its action is needed. This year the ruling group sponsored Fresh- man Hell Week, Homecoming Weekend, Spiritual Emphasis Week, and the Shares Campaign. A Christmas tree was erected and decorated in the college chapel by the or- ganization before that holiday and they piloted the Sing and Swing competition in the Parent's weekend program. While their committees handle these annual responsibilities, the body as a whole looks into problems of the campus. These problems vary from getting more gravel put on the drive beside the Science Hall to advising the Academic Dean that comprehensive examinations should be modified. Representatives are elected from the four classes and from organizations to form this group. They represent the feel-- ings of their fellow students in this govern- ing body and make it their business to know how sentiments go with the various groups which they represent. As a govern- ment the council works for the greatest good for the greatest number of students. During the year, Student Council has called upon the student body for help in its proiects, such as the Shares auction and the programs for Spiritual Emphasis Week, but it is the brains behinclrthe things which are done.

This group takes care of the decisions involved in planning a fair campaign of rushing and pledging each fall. Other questions which come up occasionally on policy of fraternities or rules for interfraternity competition are also in this organization's domain. When they are not deciding policy and laying down rules, the men in this body may be planning the annual spring interfraternity formal dance. For this dance, women receive late permissions, and the couples make a migration from campus similar to but smaller than that for the Dance of the Year. Any formal or organized action by more than one fraternity is handled through this organization. It also has the duty, handed from the Student Council committee, of setting up qualification rules and cost limits to its member organizations in the Homecoming and Parents' weekend competitions. 142 PAN HELLENIC COUNCIL Bottom row, left to right, Barbara Shira, Margaret Foster, Nell Kling, Betty Etter.

The six national social sororities on campus send two representa- tives each to the Panhellenic council, their governing and policy-making body. These representatives take care of all collective or competitive actions of the groups. They hold a tea each fall to welcome freshman women, set up rules for rushing, dates for open houses, and the various necessary limitations on cost and other aspects of their social activities. The group sets up rules governing house decorating competition during Homecoming weekend, and alo the rules for the Homecoming Queen campaign. Sing and Swing, each spring on Parents' weekend, is handled partly through the organization. It cooperates often with Student Council and the Dean of Women. While matters of importance to the women of Westminster are con- trolled in this organization, it has functions such as fashion shows and beauty culture speakers during the year for the benefit and education of its member groups. 143 IDEAL FRESHMEN PI SIGMA Pl The year's ideal freshmen are Dorrie Langefeld and James Bowser.

Dances, parties, special weeks, and other highlights break the monotony of the regular college life. These events not only serve to provide entertainment and recre- ation, but they also serve to give the stu- dent cx more well-rounded personality. These occasions are often remembered long after the information crammed for an exam has been forgotten. ln this sec- tion we bring a group of the year's top high spots. 148 ' -A.

On the left students figure out their schedules on the steps in- side Old Mcxin. Freshman week is not all work cs shown by the couple at the right. Freshman Week, an institution which has grown from a day cmd a half in 1930, to a full week, is designed to acquaint the freshman with his new life as a college student, and also to comprehensively ex- amine his abilities and knowledge so that he may be guided in the right direction. ln this examination, the students are tested by means of a reading test, the American Council on Education psycho- logical or aptitude test, achievement tests, and a personality test. When these tests are scored and graded, the results are given to the student's advisor, who is thus helped in his work of counseling. This advisor then helps the student choose his courses for the ensuing semester. Thus by testing and conferences with the advisor, the student gets off to a well planned start in his college career. At The Freshman Reception Freshman Week is not all work, how- ever. A full social schedule is planned to keep the freshmen from becoming like the proverbial Jack, a dull boy, or girl. The Freshman Sing brings out the originality of the future music majors and tune car- riers by composing new words to familiar songs about some phase of their new cam- pus doings. An informal get-together in the United Presbyterian church on another evening adds to the list of acquaintances. The formal reception gives the stu- dents a chance to meet the faculty and ad- ministration. Then on the first Saurday night of the college year, the all-college Who's Who brings the freshmen and the upperclassmen together for the first time. Talk-fests in dormitory rooms and in the Tub also make up a valuable part of this beginning week of college life. 151 1 i HELL WEEK Freshman Hell Week initiates freshmen with a lot of fun, at least for the upperclassmen. During this three-day period, frosh must dress according to certain styles set up by Student Council, get fifty signatures of upperclassmen each day, and attend the Friday night Tribunal to pay for their disobediences during the week. A special Student Council committee gives specific directions for each day. At 7:30 Friday night, October 6, in the college gym, came the climax of this year's Fresh- man Hell Week. Freshmen took off their shoes and put them in a pile. They then walked in stocking feet on the corn-strewn floor. Following this grand parade, freshmen received their penalties. Men took part in strenuous punishment exercises during the entire evening. A dance was held after the proceedings for upperclassmen and those freshmen who could still walk, or who could find their shoes. L. Student Council member Bill Sted- man explains the rules of the week to the eager freshmen in chapel. Other Council members are modeling the vari- ous outfits worn by the frosh during the week. 152 Frosh girls in pigtails, un- matched socks, and various other ordeals of dress get their first experience of dinking for upperclassmen. Let it pour cry frosh men in the annual pray for rain which is one of the top attrac- tions in the week's festivities. We're sorry plead fresh- men women who were forced to apologize because they threw rain on their fellow classmen.

Homecoming day, in some form, has been celebrated at Westminster since 1854, two years after the founding of the col- lege. ln these 96 years of celebration, the day has grown into a weekend. ln the early Homecoming celebrations there was a dance of some sort on campus, the football game, and the chapel service. It was not until 1946 that the first Dance of the Year and the first decoration of houses and dorms on campus were incorpor- ated into the weekend. That year, Duke Ellington played forthe dance Friday night held in the Cathedral ballroom in New Castle. Sororities, fra- ternities, and dormitories decorated for the judges Saturday morning and prepared booths at the carnival in the gym Satur- day evening. 1947 brought Johnny Long for the big dance, Gene Krupa was the orchestra in '48 and Elliott Lawrence played in '49. Claude Thornhill crowned Bev Mergner queen when he played forthe Dance ofthe Year in Stambaugh auditorium, Youngstown, in 1950. ,,,s ', ' Wi i RELIGIGUS EMPHASIS WEEK Each fall, one week is dedicated to emphasis on the spiritual at Westminster. All activities are suspended, and programs are held each evening in the chapel. This year the guest speaker for the week was Dr. Cary N. Weisiger, from Mt. Lebanon Presbyterian church in Pittsburgh. Dr. Weisiger held personal conferences to discuss student prob- lems, spoke to both daily chapel assemblies, and held open discussions in houses and dormitories in the evenings after his chapel programs. A singspiration service and daily prayer groups were also held. Professors each year are asked to curtail work outside class during this one week when students learn more about their practical Christianity. Among other things Dr. Weisiger spoke to the student body of his experiences gained in two years of work with lepers at the Naini Leper home in India. The home is maintained by Allahabad Christian Col- lege, an agriculture school in India, where Dr. Weisiger taught from l93l to 'l934. A committee representing 30 campus organizations is appolntea to plan this week. Chairmen guide the general planning and use mem- bers of the organizations in reading scripture and offering prayers in the various services during the week. QF' Members of the Religious Emphasis Week committee were, left to right, Arthur Schreiber, Robert Kelly, and Nancy Shane Hall. 156 Dr. Weisiger gives one of his three daily chapel talks. He spoke at all of the morning and afternoon chapel programs, and also at a special ser- vice each evening. Conferences with individual stu- dents took up a large part of Dr. Weisiger's time. He also met with discussion groups at the various dor- mitories and 'Fraternity houses. Dr. Weisiger visits the radio studio in McGill library. During the week the speaker showed a keen interest in college activities. 157 fi-' ' - A V ,W ' .. ,Q 4 rqzhkfiml S ll.A-f' ,f l'w,.4 l J' ,fx?Q,f',f.gll Z nav tttlp Yi El qi.-E ,sllilli ilu' fi?-'if W Bwgftfa ffl, fi i. Q f l f,1 55xa wen MARGARET BOURKE-WHITE CHARLES LAUGHTON LECTURE SERIES Five speakers were presented in the College Lecture Series during the year. The first speaker was Charles Laughton, who spoke on October 26. The famous stage and screen star gave readings from the Bible, Shakespeare, and other works. Mr. Laughton attracted one of the largest crowds ever to attend a function in the College Chapel. The famous Life magazine photographer, Margaret Bourke-White, was the next speaker. On November 30 Miss White spoke on An African Odyssey , which dealt with her tour of Africa. The third speaker was Dr. Channing Leim, who spoke on The Far East and the United States in a World Crisis on February 6. Dr. Leim, who was born and spent his youth in Korea presented interesting information regarding his native country and the United States. Humor-First Aid to Understanding was the subject of Emilie Jacobson in March. Miss Jacobson, who has a varied background in travel, the theatre, and iournalism, provided an enioyable evening on the lighter side. The final speaker was Dr. Paul Engle, who lectured on April 17. A young Ameri- can poet, who is professor of creative writing at the state University of Iowa, Dr. En- gle's theme was What Is Happening to American Literature. 158 Pcul Brown, chairman ofthe lecture series, greets Charles Lclughton, The first lecturer of The year. CHANNING LEIM EMILE JACOBSON 159 Y-- - Fraternities and sororities were not always as favorably received at Westminster as they are now. With the new administration of Dr. Robert M. Russell, who took office in 1906, fraternities and sororities were forced to go underground. President Russell did not favor the fra- ternity movement and made every effort to abolish groups which he believed were existing on campus. Members of the sororities and fra- ternities and many who were not members were closely questioned. This questioning reached such a point that provisions similar to the fol- lowing were added to many of the chapter constitutions: We, the members, declare that our connection with our fraternity or sorority is severed at the moment that we are asked, entreated, de- manded or compelled to use our influence, testify, reveal or take oath in regard to anything concerning the said fraternity, such severance to continue for one hour. Not until 1920-21, in the administration of Dr. W. Charles Wallace, were Greek organizations free to entertain extensively. Under this ad- ministration existence of these groups on campus was recognized and tolerated unofficially. Upon recommendation from the President, the board rescinded the laws which had caused sub-rosa existence and recommended that the organizations then existing petition for local chapters in national Greek organizations of high standing. 160 su 'X W up-U.

In 1925, the local sorority, Delta Tau, became Alpha Epsilon chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta. Delta Tau was founded at Westminster in 1913. Like the majority of the other fraternal organizations, when first organized, it was a secret society, but when the group was recognized in 1920, the membership was generally known and the Van sorority or Delta Tau became prominent in the social life of the college. This year the Alpha Gams celebrated their twenty-fifth anniversary with a banquet at the Castleton Hotel in New Castle. The end of October brought ghosts and corpses to the house as the A. G.'s enter- tained the other sororities at a Halloween party. The Roaring Twen- ties party was not to be forgotten. Both fellows and girls dressed as they did in that era. The Christmas house party was another big success as pine snow men and a Christmas tree decorated the house. Numer- ous house parties and the Spring Formal rounded out the social year. Officers during the year were Nell Kling, president, Sue Nolph, vice-president, Dorothy Bauder, secretary, and Martha Patterson, treasurer. 163 BETA SIGMA OMICRCDN Sometimes when the group gets around the piano they try something fancy.

The Beta Gamma chapter of Beta Sigma Omicron was organized at Westminster in 1937. Previous to this time, Professor Davis had formed a local sorority on campus, known as Omicron Mu Gamma. At the time Professor Davis founded this group, music was not accepted academically and music majors could not join sororities. For their bene- fit he organized Omicron Mu Gamma. The forty girls in this group became the chapter of Beta Sigs on campus. The group grew quickly, and soon included representatives from all major fields of study. The Beta Sigs' first major social activity this year was the all-sorority marshmallow roast held in their back yard in October. For their Home- coming Queen candidate the sorority chose Audrey Carlson. December 8, following pledging, a large number of the girls had an informal party at the house to trim the Christmas tree. Criswell's Restaurant was the setting for the dinner-dance in January, and in March the pledges gave a party for the actives and their dates. The officers in T950 were Elizabeth Etter, president, Joan Magee, vice-president, Janet Schaeffer, secretary, and Nancy McCaw, treas- urer. 165 CHI CDMEGA Girls sometimes need o 'Friend or on cldvisor.

The Omicron Gamma chapter of Chi Omega was established on January 17, 1925, as the first women's national fraternity at West- minster. The organization became the seventy-fourth chapter of Chi Omega. Before the installation of Chi Omega, the sorority was a local group known as Phi Theta Pi. It was the youngest of the four sororities on campus, having been founded in 1922. The original group had a membership of fifteen girls, and when it affiliated with Chi Omega, the membership comprised seventeen girls. Today Chi Omega has grown to thirty-five members. An annual award of S25 to a woman student who excels in economics or sociology is given by the sorority. They also award two prizes to outstanding con- tributors to Scrawl. Rush parties dominated the autumn social calendar, and Lynn Arwine was Chi Omega's choice for Homecoming Queen candidate. Members and ten pledges enjoyed the pledge dinner at the Tavern, as well as the annual spaghetti dinner given by the Bushes. The president this year was Margaret Foster, Margaret Grant was vice-president, Shirley Voegele, treasurer, and Ruth Randall, secretary. 167 KAPPA DELTA W 'I68 Who would shun CI coke and a chat with the kids across the hall?

As the youngest women's group on campus, Phi Delta Chi, now Kappa Delta, was founded by nine girls on March 2, 1926. However, at the time when it was recognized by the authorities of the college, thirteen girls were charter members. ln 1931 the group became affili- ated with Kappa Delta as the Alpha Phi chapter. Again the Coffee Cosy for all sorority and independent women began the social year for the Kappa Delta. Without wasting much time, the sorority started planning for Homecoming decorations and the final outcome was first prize. Alumni Acres was complete from bales of hay to a real cow, and a red barn covered the newly-painted house. With the pledging of twenty girls came the spaghetti dinner at Mr. and Mrs. Barbe's home in honor of the new members. Soon after, the Kappa Delta went all out for decorations, disguising the art lab with yuletide adornments for their Christmas party. In March, the pledges entertained the actives at a Shantytown Shakeup. The Spring Formal held at the Ellwood City Country Club was the highlight of the social calendar. Officers in T950 were Marilyn Calvin, president, Patricia Rein- heimer, vice-president, Virginia Bretsnyder, secretary, Jane Boore, treasurer. 169 SIGMA KAPPA Au-12.5, Nothing like CI snock at the end of o tough dcuy to improve the outlook on life-even cut mid- night.

Sigma Phi Delta, later known as Sigma Kappa, was founded on Octo- ber 26, 1922, at Westminster by seven girls under the leadership of Rebecca Gibson. The sorority originated as a scholastic organization. In 1926, the local group became the Alpha Sigma chapter of Sigma Kappa. This is the oldest sorority on Westminster's campus and was the fifth national to bear a Greek name. Sigma Kappa's social activities began early in the fall with the annual tea for the sorority patronesses, closely followed by a weiner roast in Col- lege Woods. The sorority was quite honored when the national vice-presi- dent of Sigma Kappa spent five days on campus this year, and a tea was given for her. Autumn Weekend, the house was hidden behind a large paper toaster bearing the slogan We'll Toast Them to a Crumb. Joanne Turner was Sigma Kappa's candidate for Homecoming Queen. In February the Sig Kaps gave a sorority bridge party for all sororities. Later in the year the Spring Formal was held at the New Castle Country Club. The 1950 officers were Barbara Shira, president, Isabel Tidd, vice-presi- dent, Alice Mitsos, secretary, and Anne Hankey, treasurer. 171 TH ETA UPSILON 'I72 What is better to fill in the gaps in the business of campus living than good old fashioned conversation?

Theta Upsilon was originally Pi Rho Phi sorority, founded by the already existing chapter of Pi Rho Phi fraternity at Westminster. The history of this period was one of struggle against opposition from the administration. Initiations and meetings were held in great secrecy in the McLaughry woods and in the Ferguson home. When the Greeks were recognized in 1921, the membership of the group became known. In 1930, Pi Rho Phi petitioned Theta Upsilon fraternity and was accepted the same year as the Upsilon chapter. Beverly Mergner, Homecoming Queen, brought the Theta U's into the limelight early this year. In November the scavenger hunt and weiner roast provided social entertainment for the group. A Christmas house party in honor of the new pledges was held at the New Wilming- ton Grange Hall. The height of the evening was reached when dates were given stockings filled with miscellaneous favors. An all-college record dance and a spaghetti dinner for the pledges made the social calendar a complete one. Officers during the year were Emilie Matheny, president, Alice Vogel, vice president, Ann Nicodemus, secretary, and Dorothy Wallace, treasurer. 173 QUADRANGLE l'd play the club, says the onlooker as Quadrangle members engage in a game of bridge.

The independent women, known as Quadrangle, were organized at Westminster in the spring of 1941, representing the non-sorority women on campus. Before the charter group was founded in 1941, another independent women's organization had existed, but the group had died out. Some of the early activities of this group were providing toys for children in Europe and knitting for the British War Relief and the Red Cross. In 1948 the group ioined the National Independent Stu- dent Association. This year the social calendar has been a full one for Quadrangle. Later in the semester Quadrangle women entertained other sorority women at a Canasta Party. An all-college dance, a banquet for the pledges, socials with the Independent Men, and parties almost every month have kept the Quadrangle girls busy. Judy Pitzer was chosen by Quadrangle this year to be their candidate for the National Sweet- heart of the National Convention at Kansas State to be held this summer. Kay Fairlamb was QuadrangIe's candidate for Homecoming Queen. Officers this year were Dorothy Roberts, president, Ruth Anderson, vice president, Lorraine Hoburg, secretary, and Ruth Leibermann, treasurer. 175 Niwmk 15 I . ALPHA SIGMA PHI Unlike the other eating clubs on campus, the Crescent Club, forerunner of Alpha Sigma Phi, was not a secret organization with rituals and secret ini- tiations. The members were free to move from one group to another. There was nothing continuous about the organization except its name and its friendships. The organization was merely an eating club which met in the Minteer House, then located across from the Conservatory. In 1925, the Crescent Club ioined Phi Pi Phi, and in T938 the eight chapters of Phi Pi Phi joined with Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity. This year Alpha Sigma Phi had 64 active members. 'I76 A friendly game of cards is the best recreation after a de- licious meal at the Alpha Sig house. There's nothing like a good bull session before turning in. Everything from today's test to tomorrow's basketball game is discussed. The Alpha Sigs started the school term with a bang by completely redecorating their house. The first house party brought the Wild West to New Wilmington, including brass rails and swinging doors. Autumn weekend the house was transformed into Finian's Rainbow, and took second prize for Homecoming decorations. Famous couples, in- cluding Anthony and Cleopatra, Hansel and Gretel, and Gravel Gertie and B. O. Plenty attended the next house party, and one of the most memorable events of the social year was the dinner dance held at College Hall in January. This year the Alpha Sigs won the Fraternity Achievement Cup tor administration, scholarship, athletics, special events, and extra curricular activities. Otticers during the year were Emil Reznik, president, Stanley Kail, vice president, Tom Wilson, secretary, and Hoover Yount, treasurer. 177 Top picture, bottom row, left to right, Jim Stewart, Bill Kegel, Stan Kail, Mrs. Davis, Emil Reznik, Al Sternbergh, Hoover Yount, Don Hartranft.

Owing to stringent anti-fraternal laws passed by the college board of trustees about this time, it was necessary to carry on the organization sub rosa, where it re- mained for fifty-seven years. For many years the fraternity operated in conjunction with the Van Orsdell Club, but in 1920 the college officially recog- nized the group as Kappa Phi Lamba. The member- ship of the Van Orsdell Club reached twenty-two in 1922, and as Kappa Phi Lamba, rose to thirty-eight in 1925. Over the years the Kaps grew, until in 1947 the fraternity went national as the Psi chapter of Sigma Nu. This year the fraternity had forty-two active members. 180 No I think it should be this way, says one Sigma Nu to another in a discussion which ranges from the new blond to the cook's latest discovery. How's it look now? ques- tions a Sigma Nu as he com- pletes work on one section of the fraterni1y's game room which was completed during the year. Moving Indian figures, cardboard smoke signals, and a giant tepee which completely covered the house won for the Sigma Nus first prize in the Homecoming decorations contest. At one of the early parties the usual come-and-go atmosphere of the house was completely trans- formed to one of the south sea islands. Sarongs and leis were not at all uncommon. From lagoons to black cats and witches, and finally to straw hats and pitchforks, the house parties were a real success. The Christmas formal this year was held at the Highland Country Club. With spring came the redecorating of the house, a Sweetheart dinner for those brothers who were pinned, engaged, or married, and the annual children's party for the children of the Mercer County Chil- dren's Home. 1950 officers were Albert Nichols, president, William Pettibon, vice president, William Shannon, secretary, and William Douthett, treasurer. -181 Top picture, bottom row, left to right, Richard Rodefer, Alexander Spisak, John Nelson, Stewart Grill, Robert Cipolla, Gerald Tallarico, Raymond Wallace, Albert Krause.

It was or- ganized in 1854, just two years after the founding of the college, as Pi Rho Phi, also known as the Cross of Hearts. In 1869, the local organization became affiliated with Delta Tau Delta, but when the entire chap- ter was ousted trom school several years later, the charter was lost. For many years the fraternity, known variously as Pi Rho Phi, Cross ot Hearts, Chi of Delta Tau Delta, and Kelley Club was compelled to exist sub-rosa. ln 1923, the fraternity became charter members ot Theta Upsilon Omega. This organization later aftiliated with Sigma Phi Epsilon in 1938, as the Lambda chapter. 184 Don't forget that shave before going out tor the evening. The boys take time out before hitting the books for a round of coke. Today the fraternity has a membership of fifty-nine men, com- pared to the Kelley Club membership of twenty-six. This year Sigma Phi Epsilon again captured the intramural foot- ball trophy, maintaining their record as the only fraternity to win this cup since it was first awarded. A windstorm ruined the Sig Eps' chances for an award at Home- coming as they propped the decorations against their newly-painted lust-about-dry house. The social calendar got underway with the house- party-Le Cafe Rendezvous. Later in the year, Marie Olson was chosen Sigma Phi Epsilon Sweetheart at the annual Sweetheart houseparty. In February, the fraternity lost quite a bit of money-fortunately it wasn't real-at their Monte Carlo houseparty. The 1950 officers were William Dahlgren and Frank Jones, presi- dents, James Russell and John Shepherd, vice-presidents, Frederick Cas- sell, secretory, and Herbert Mullen, treasurer. -Qwmmml eve?

A, wwfi , 'ii 2. ik t PHI KAPPA TAU The youngest fraternity on Westminster's campus is Phi Kappa Tau, formerly the local Delta Nu, which was kept secret to a large extent for organization purposes. Delta Nu was founded in September of 1949 when the need for a new social fraternity at Westminster was being discussed and approved. On March 10, 1950, it was announced that Delta Nu had officially affiliated with Phi Kappa Tau national. This fall the group secured an apartment in New Wilmington to provide more adequate housing facilities for the fraternity. The slogan for Homecoming decorations very appropriately was- We Are New on Campus, accompanied by a cardboard egg hatching chicks. Phi Kappa Tau now has representatives on both Student Council and Inter- fraternity Council, as of this year. Formal rushing ended with ten men turning in bids, and four other pledges were admitted later in the year. Phi Kappa Tau held its first all-college dance in October, and its first formal before the Christmas holidays. The Spring Formal ended the social year. Officers this year were William Stedman, president, Harry Aich- ner, vice-president, Jay Gimlin, secretary, William Maurer, treasurer. 188 Bottom row, left to right, John McKnight, Harry Aichner, Mr. George Bleasby, Jay Gimlin, William Stedman, Robert McEwan, Walter Richmond, Bill Maurer, Leo Lohr.

Inactive during the war years from 1943 to 1945, the group was re- organized in 1946. The new group, for the most part, was composed of vet- erans. As these men graduated, the organization evolved from four mem- bers in the beginning of 1950 to the present membership of more than twen- ty-five active members. This year the Independent Men participated in Homecoming decorations by decorating the quadrangle. The group has taken part in intramural basketball and softball. Two all-college dances were held this year, and the Independent Men have had several parties with the members ofthe Quadrangle. Although the organization is not Greek- lettered, it is a fraternity belonging to the National Independent Students Association comprising 113 chapters. Officers during the year were Louis Davidson, president, Merle Wilson, vice-president, Robert Franklin, secretary, Dan Heintz, treasurer. 190 li Bottom row, left to right, Howard Frisbee, Thomas Seidner, Frank Finlay, John Milan, William Richardson.

At Westminster this is doubly certain, since the college has enioyed rewarding success in all sports. Students not only enjoy competition but also learn sportsmanship.

The only Titan victories were over Grove City and Juniata, while the six losses were suffered at the hands of Allegheny, Carnegie Tech, Geneva, Slippery Rock, Thiel, and Waynesburg. Westminster and Bethany battled to a 7-7 tie at Bethany. Starting the season off on the wrong foot, the Titans traveled to Slippery Rock on September 23 where they dropped a T9-6 decision, their thirteenth straight loss to the Rockets, who now hold the series edge over Westminster with 13 wins against ll losses and two ties. Quarter- back Dick Banick's second period touch- down was the first score the Titans had made against the Rockets in the last eight games. Midway through the third period, the Rockets took the lead when a Slippery Rock lineman blocked a punt by Fullback Bob Sistek and fell on it in the end zone for a touchdown. Slippery Rock added a final tally in the last period on a six-yard run. Scoring two touchdowns and an extra point in the second half, Westminster's Titans overcame a T2 point Juniata lead and defeated the Indians T3-T2 in the first home game of the season on September 30. The victory evened the Titan record at one win against one defeat and also evened their record with Juniata at four wins each, with one game ending in a 6-6 tie. After holding a 7-0 lead throughout almost three-fourths of the game, the Titans fell apart completely in the final period at Greenville as Thiel racked up three touch- downs and a 20-7 win in the final T5 min- utes of play on October 7. Half-way through the first period, Halfback Carl Mantz made a beautiful catch of a Sistek pass on the Tomcat 40-yard line and then raced the remaining distance to pay dirt for the lone Titan tally. Sistek's kick was good, providing the Titans with a 7-O lead which held up until the final period. Short- ly after the beginning of the fourth quarter, Thiel tied the score on a touchdown by Costa and a conversion by DiMarie. Playing through occasional outbursts of rain, the Westminster Titans and the Bethany Bisons fought to a 7-7 tie in the latter's Homecoming game, October 4. The Blue and White were forced to come from behind in order to gain the tie. Early in the second quarter the Bisons had taken a 7-O lead when Halfback Bill Lee crashed over from the two-yard line and Alte- mese added the extra point. In the third period, the Titans evened the score when Carl Mantz drove off right guard for three yards and the touchdown. Completely dominating the contest, both offensively and defensively, Coach Mel Hetzler's Titans crushed the Grove City Wolverines T9-O before a standing-room- only Homecoming day crowd on October 21. The victory ended a four-game win- less streak against the Grovers and made the over-all record read 28 wins, 21 losses, and 7 ties, in favor of Grove City. Striking early, the Blue and White took the lead in the first period when Sistek gathered in a punt on his own 45-yard line and handed off to Carl Mantz, who raced the remaining 55 yards to pay dirt behind perfect block- ing. Sistek's kick went wide, and the Titans led 6-0. In the second quarter, West- minster increased its advantage to T3-0 on a 64-yard pass play. Quarterback Sistek tossed a T4-yard pass to end Jack Welty, who sprinted the remaining 50 yards into the end zone for the score. Sistek made the extra point good on this occasion. A T4-yard pass on last down from Sistek to Vic Bianchi accounted for the final Titan 'I95 , t, Mwfffg-. f ,. 1 '3 v'f'4,a,.,r ' 'V 1.

Set- ting up the final score was Fullback Paul Campbell, who reeled off 43 yards to put the ball in position. The placement kick again went wide, and the score remained Westminster 19, Grove City O. Taking their third defeat of the sea- son, Westminster's Titans dropped another game, October 28, when the Geneva Cov- enanters pushed across a touchdown in the final period to down the Blue and White l8-'l3 on the Westminster field. Geneva went out in front early in the game. A few minutes later Tom McGrath and Bob Sistek put together a touchdown and an extra point which gave the Titans a 7-6 advantage. ln the second period, the Titans increased their lead when George Watto picked up a loose ball on the Covie 47 and raced all the way for a score. For the second time the Genevan's extra point attempt was again no good, leaving the Titans ahead 'I3-12 at the half. After a scoreless third quarter, the Covies finally went ahead to stay in the final period. Since the two teams first met in 1891, West- minster has now been able to take only 17 games, while Geneva has won 30, and eight have ended in ties. Bogged down in the mud, Westmin- ster's offense was practically absent, as the Waynesburg Yellowiackets scored two first- half touchdowns and went on to shut out the Titans 'l2-O on a rain-soaked Westmin- ster field on November 4. The loss was the eighth in the last nine games with the Yel- lowiackets, the other meeting ending in a scoreless tie in 1946. Taking advantage of a fumble by Titan halfback Larry Ver- one, Waynesburg slipped into a 6-O lead late in the first quarter. A 61-yard touch- down run on a punt return by Waynesburg Halfback Bill White upped the score to 12-O midway through the second quarter. The kick again was no good, and the final score stood at 12-0 in favor of Waynesburg. Falling apart completely in the second half, the Titans lost their fifth game of the season as they were walloped 33-14 by Allegheny College in Meadville, Novem- ber 11. The Blue and White went into the last half tied at 14-14, but three 'Gator touchdowns in the second half proved dis- astrous to the Titans. As a result of their victory, Allegheny now has taken a larger edge in the series with Westminster, having won 21, lost 13, and tied five. Playing their last game of the season on November 18, before an overflow home crowd, the Westminster Titans dropped a hard-fought 20-O contest to the strong Car- negie Tech Tartans. Tech, which has been off the Titan's schedule since 1942, now has won eight, lost four, and tied one of the 13 games that have been played between the two schools. In a way, it was a moral victory for the Titans, as Tech, which was out for revenge following its 66-O defeat at the hands of Lehigh the previous week, was kept fairly well in hand throughout most of the contest, and star Halfback Nick Simcic was held to only a few yards gained. Outside the Tartan 20-yard stripe, the Titan offense had little difficulty, but it was bogged down every time Westminster penetrated inside the 20. The Tartans took the lead late in the first quarter, when Augie DiGiovanni bucked over for a touchdown, and added another marker in the second quarter to take a 13-O half time advantage. Tech pushed across a final tally and extra point late in the last quarter to send the Tartans home with a 20-O victory. The loss left the Titans with a complete season's record of two wins, one tie, and six losses. 1 Football coaches, left to right, Bob Washabaugh, end coach, Mel Hetzler, head coach, Buzz Ridl, assistant coach, and Dick Wharton, backfield coach.

Washabaugh's Towering Titans chalked up another successful basketball season, compiling a record of 22 victories against only five defeats during the regu- lar season. The Titans also journeyed to the NAIB tournament in Kansas City, but bowed out in their first contest 85-74 to top- seeded Evansville College of Indiana. The T950-5'I season saw the Titans playing their last year in the old gym before moving into the new field house next year. The Blue and White hoopsters won 77 straight games in the old gym. 1 af la x T in-I ,ei T , x .ff , - .1 ,. ,. I LJ -A .1 X i , f' S .5 V 4 I f 6 ' 'a 9 2 4, X W A K' X vhw-yi' , . During the winter, the Titans defeated such strong teams as Arizona State, De- troit, Duquesne, Maryland State, Pepperdine, Pittsburgh, Waynesburg, and Washing- ton and Jefferson. The Blue and White dropped encounters to Duquesne, Pittsburgh, St. Bonaventure, St. Francis, and Washington and Jefferson. The brunt of the Titans' activity throughout the season was carried out by six standouts-Center Pat King, Forwards Ed Halas and Jerry Sybert, and Guards John- ny Abraham, Jerry Hyder, and Don Meyers. King, Westminster's high scorer with 474 points, finished third in the district scoring race behind West Virginia's Mark Workman and Al Vlasic of Geneva. Closely following King was teammate Ed Halas with 470 points. At the end of the season, the six foot three King was named to five different all-star teams including those of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Pittsburgh Press, Collier's NCAA District Two, the Geneva college all-opponent team, and the NCAA District Two team. Trailing King and Halas in the scoring race were Abraham with 370 points, Don Meyers, 352, Jerry Sybert, 224, and Jerry Hyder, 98. Hyder, rated by Coach Washa- baugh as the finest defensive ballplayer he has coached, did a terrific iob defensively throughout the season, his top accomplishment being holding high-scoring Carl Pa- cacha to only seven points in the second Duquesne game. Other players who saw action for the Titans during the season were Centers Bob Dugan and Dave Hawbaker, Forwards Bob Demyan and Don Mayberry, and 200 Guard Dick Mattocks. The five combined con- tributed 176 points to the Westminster cause. Several outstanding prospects for next year appeared on Coach Charles Buzz Ridl's iunior varsity squad. Six foot three Jerry Neff, six foot three Gil Maciiewski, and six foot Ron Tranter all starred for the Jay-Vees, as did six foot one Don Reed and five foot ten Bob Jones, brother of former Titan star Jackie Jones. Others who turned in a fine iob for the iunior varsity were Joe Apoian, Dick Black, Jim Brill, Tom Crawford, and Lowell Lander. Westminster was rated top team in the district by the Pittsburgh Press. Second place went to St. Francis Q19-31, victors by 27 points over the Titans, and Washington and Jefferson took third with a 17-3 record. Starting the season off with a bang the Titans walloped hapless Allegheny 81-41 in the old gym, with Forward Jerry Sybert scoring 21 points in his first varsity game. Moving over to Farrell, Coach Washabaugh's squad won their first of six Farrell victories as they downed George Pepperdine 81-59. Pepperdine led 38-33 at halt time, but in the second half the Titans turned on the pressure with their fast- breaking offense to win going away. Halas was high with 25 points. Back in New Wilmington again, the local team had its closest shave of the season as they barely eked out a 69-67 win over a strong Maryland State squad. The Titans blew hot and cold throughout the contest, several times holding commanding leads, and they barely outlasted the last minute rally of the Fisher- men. After winning a 73-62 game at Carnegie Tech, the Blue and White lost a heartbreaker to the Duquesne Dukes in Duquesne Gardens, Pittsburgh. 201 Bottom row, left to right, John Potter, iunior manager, Donald Meyers, David Hawbaker, Gerald Neff, Gilbert Mackievewski, Patrick King, Robert Demyan, Edward Halas, Gerald Sybert, Robert Dugan, Raymond Jones.

In other games played over the holidays, Westminster edged out the University of Detroit 71-69 at Farrell and downed St. Joseph's 75-63 in the Philadelphia Palestra. King was high-man against Detroit with 18 points, while Abraham garnered 19 against St. Joseph for top honors. Making their third appearance in Pittsburgh in the winter, the Titans suffered what was perhaps their most disastrous defeat of the season as they were upset by lowly Pitt 68-62. At Farrell again, the local hoopsters took on the Arizona State Sun Devils and de- feated the Westerners easily 85-61. Westminster built up a 44-29 lead at the half and kept right on going in the second half to win by 24 points. Pat King was the game's high point man with 22. Following the Arizona contest, the Titans returned to the familiar con- fines of their own gym to wallop three district schools by lopsided scores. The Titans de- feated Geneva 96-73, Bethany 98-60, and Grove City 102-51. King scored 27 points in the Grove City game. Playing their only overtime contest of the season, Westminster dropped a close 86-83 to Bonaventure in BuFfalo's Memorial Auditorium. The Bonnies rallied to tie the score in the final seconds of play and then went on to win in the overtime period. 202 -,4 .,f,..,,,,. , '35 s , - Following an easy 90-65 home victory over Thiel, Westminster traveled etto, where they received their worst defeat of the campaign as they were wallop 4 x by St. Francis 92-65. Completing their two-game swing through central Pennsyl- vania, the Titans defeated Juniata 83-64 at Huntingdon. Returning to Farrell for a pair of games, the Blue and White gained revenge for two previous setbacks by walloping Pitt 91-67 and Duquesne 75-66. Big Ed Halas set the season's high scoring mark with 34 points against Pitt. In the Duquesne game, the tall boys took a first quarter lead, increased it to 20 points in the third period, and then withheld a last quarter Duquesne rally to win by nine points. Next came another pair of victories over local schools-83-78 at Geneva and 68-53 at Bethany. Westminster took its final defeat of the regular season the next night as they were edged 78-75 by Wash-Jeff at Washington, Pa. Halas was high man with 21 points. For the rest of the season, the Titans were unbeatable as they won 82-60'at Thiel, defeated Waynesburg 76-67 and Upsala 85-62 in New Wilmington, walloped Waynesburg 97-57 on their home court, running up the highest score ev' made against the Jackets at home, and downed Carnegie Tech at home 71-66. ln their final game of the season, the Titans won the district title by walloping W and J 96-80 at Farrell. Traveling to Kansas City for the NAIB tournament, Westminster bowed out in the first round of play to top-seeded Evansville College in Indiana. After tying the game midway in the first half, the Titans were never in the game.

The winning season was the fourth straight for the Titans since soccer was introduced to Westminster in 1946. Victims of the Blue and White this year were Allegheny, 3-T, Edinboro, 3-2, Grove City, 2-l in two overtime periods, 4 Carnegie Tech, l-O, and Thiel, 5-T. Only two teams were able to register wins over the Titans during the season-Frostburg by a 2-T score and Slippery Rock, 4-T. The Titan booters took their first two contests over Edinboro and Thiel before dropping matches to Frostburg and Slip- pery Rock to even the season's record. For the rest of the year the Blue and White were unbeatable as they chalked up wins over Allegheny, Tech, and Grove City. Six of the squad's returning lettermen, Fullbacks Bob Cullison and Ed Davis, Half- back Emil Reznik, and Forwards Alex Spi- sak and Tom Wilson, were seniors. Other returning lettermen on third year's squad were Fullback Joe Amiano, Halfbacks Paul Fenwick and Don Kirsopp, and Forward Ed Urban. Other members were Seniors Don Hartranft and Bill Kegel, Juniors Jim Elder, Clyde Henton, and Dave Williams, Sopho- mores Joe Apoian, John Hughes, Ed Lid- dell, Dick Rodefer, Roland Shaeffer, and Ed York, and Freshmen Willard Culp, Andrias Liaupsin, Joe Lynch, Peter Mancino, Harry Snyder, and Ron Wolk.

The Titans fin- ished their season by placing third in the Penn-Ohio meet at Carnegie Tech. During the year, the Blue and White posted double wins over Grove City, 45-21 and 47-19, and Slippery Rock, 40-26 and 45-21, while taking single encounters from Carnegie Tech, 34-32, Edinboro, 39-27, Thiel, 42-23, and Washington and Jefferson, 41-25. The three losses came at the hands of Allegheny, 31-35, Kent State, 27-39, and Pitt, 24V2 to 50M. In the Penn-Ohio meet, the Titans were barely edged out by a pair of their previous victims, Carnegie Tech and Edinboro. Westminster had 50V2 points, while Carnegie Tech had 52 and Edinboro 51. Mainstays of the Titan swimming squad were freshmen free-stylers Tom McGrath and John Wallace. Swimming in all twelve meets, McGrath chalked up eight victories in the 60 yard free style and one in the 100 yard free style and added numerous seconds and thirds. He also set a new pool record in the 60 yard event. Wallace,also taking partin every meet, won the 220 yard free style nine 206 :af af' Bottom row, left to right, Harry Sampson, Robert McKee, Bob Braun, Ted Smith, Fred Cassell, Kenneth Wilson, Tom McGrath, Bob Gunnett.

Both were members of the Titan 400 yard free style relay team, which set a new record in the Penn-Ohio meet. Co-captains of the squad were back-stroker Bob Braun and breast-stroker Freddy Cassell, who also performed well for the Titans. Braun won his event, the 220 yard backstroke, seven times, while Cassell took first six times in the 220 yard breast stroke. Both swimmers were members of the 300 yard medley team. Also starring for the Blue and White were Junior Bob Gavett, four-time winner of the grueling 440 yard free style. Freshman Ken Wilson, who placed second and third several times in the 60, 'l00, and 220 yard free styles. Sophomore Harry Samp- son, who ioined the squad in the second semester and swam well in free style events, and Sophomore Ted Smith, who took several seconds and thirds in free style events. Playing an important part in the Titans' winning ways were the 300 yard med- ley relay team and the 400 yard free style relay team. The 400 yard free style team won its event eight times, while the 300 yard medley team won six times. 207 tmvtismw. IN APPRECIATICDN After preparing some 200 pages for the printer it is only fitting that we take a breather to express our appreciation to all those who have made this book possible. First come the members of the staff, listed on the opposite page who have worked tirelessly night after night without acclaim. Their only reward has been more work to do. This would not be complete without recognition of the representa- tives of the companies which have contributed to the production of this book. Those persons include Mrs. Helen Dougherty of the Northern Engraving and Electrotype Co., Canton, Ohio, Mr. Walter Wyant of Kurtz Bros., Clearfield, Pa., the printers of the Argo, Mr. Eugene Joseph- son, Mr. Frank O'Neil, and Mr. S. M. Fields all of Delma Studios, New York, N. Y., and Mr. William Abey of Abey Studios, Youngstown, Ohio. Our appreciation also goes to the persons on campus who have been especially helpful. Our thanks to the members of the administra- tion and faculty who were not too busy to help a hurried staff member. To Mr. Paul Gambel, executive secretary of Alumni, who has assisted in the historical portions of the book, and Mr. George C. Collins, director of the news bureau, for special photography assistance. To those who made it possible for the Argo staff to occupy the office in the Science Hall. A special bouquet goes to Mr. Oscur Sipe, the campus policeman, who has tolerated the editor's working in the office long after the blackout hour. And finally our most gracious appreciation to the lady who is the only person on the staff not sitting back with a sigh of relief as the T952 Argo comes off the press, because she is already thinking about the T953 Argo. We mean Miss Elizabeth Nixon, the Argo advisor. THE EDITOR 208 TABLE OF CONTENTS Dedication .. ,. I College History ., . . ..

A Fraternity is more than a group of fellows who wear the same pin. A Fraternity does more than throw novel house parties and formals, compete for trophies, and serenade girls' dormitories. These activi- ties play a large part in college living, but the benefits gained from participating in fraternity activites plays a larger part in life as college days are left behind. The cooperation required to make all ventures successful can best be learned by working in a group, such as a fra- ternity, when people with varied interests meet to share their experi- ences. Fraternity life broadens the individual interests and gives him a well-rounded personality as he completes his education. Alpha Sigma Phi Phi Kappa Tau Sigma Nu Sigma Phi Epsilon Dances, house parties-these are all part of sorority life. The leisure time spent singing, playing bridge, or just talking with the girls is long remembered. The hours spent on Homecoming and Sing and Swing are well spent as girls learn to work together and enioy it. The friendships made through these associations with your sorority sisters will outlive the memories of the dances and parties, making your lite richer. Experiences such as sorority lite are a vital part of a college educa- tion and teach something that cannot be found in books-the art of living and working harmoniously with all types of people.
