Westminster College - Argo Yearbook (New Wilmington, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 232 of the 1953 volume:

1953 , o Glenn B. Morris, Jr., Editor Joan C arnahan, Managing Editor WJeilminiter C o New Wilmington, Pennsylvania PUBLISHED BY THE JUNIOR CLASS OF WESTMINSTER COLLEGE NEW WILMINGTON, PENNA. Tliis yearbook forms another link in the long chain of Argos that stretches across the years of the college. As the others have done, this link has at- tempted to encircle and record the good times and events encountered in the year, 1951-1952. The circumference of our link encloses the facul- ty, the students, and the school itself. In future years if this book brings back a memory or two, mellowed and soft with the cushion of time, our wishes will be fulfilled. And, now, read on as we take our place at the end of the Argo chain. 4 iniiiiliMlhi . Gerald Lee Syhert Frederick Eugene George 13 GROVER C. WASHABAUCH Perliaps no other man has done so mnch to linikl np recognition for Westminster inter- collegiate sports as has Grover C. Washabangh, Westminster ' s well-known athletic director. Since he came to the college in 1936, Washabaugh s basketball teams have met many of the nation ' s basketball powerhouses and appeared in many of the l ctter known arenas throughout the country. Up to this year, Washabaugh ' s teams have compiled the en iable record of 227 victories against only 81 defeats over a 14 year period. His Towering Titans have played s u c h nationally-known schools as Duquesne, Arkansas, City College of New York, Detroit, Harvard, Long Island University, Oklahoma A M, Pcpperdine University, Seton Hall, St. Bonaven- ture, St. Francis of Brooklyn, St. Joseph ' s, St. Mr. Vaslial)aiigh discusses Iniskt-thall willi Assistant Coach Cliarlcs Hidl. John s, .Arizona State, LaSalle, University of Pitts- buigh, Penn State, and West Virginia. His teams have appeared in big-time arenas in New York Citv, Boston, Buffalo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Pittsbingh. and Philadelphia. His teams have won district championships six times in his fifteen years at Westminster, those vears being 1936, 1937, 1941, 1945, 1950, and 1951. Westminster had its most successful bas- ketball season in history imder Wa.shabangh in 1941, when the squad won 21 games and lost only one before being defeated by Long Island in the National Invitation Tournament in Madi- son Square Garden, New York. The Titans have journeved to the N. A. I. B. tournament in Kansas City for the last two years. Washabaugh ' s 1950 team ran up the greatest niunber of victories ever scored by a Westmins- ter squad, winning 25 games while losing only four. Since Washabangh became Director of Ath- letics, Westminster has turned out top-notch teams in baseball, cross-country, golf, track, soccer, and swimming. In addition to his duties of Athletic Director and head basketball coach, Washabangh also coached the football sfjuad for several years prior to World War II. 14 Washabaugh is one of tlie more colorful dis- trict basketball coaches. Known as Pappy to district sportswriters, he is well known for his slow, easy drawl and his dry sense of humor. Ad- mittedly superstitious, he always wears a green shirt and tie when his team is playing and issues a rabbit ' s foot and a siK er (juarter to each mem- ber of liis s(juad as standard equipment before the opening game of the season. He, himself, still has the same rabbit s foot he started out with at Westminster 15 years ago. In the e eninj; after basketball practiee, Mr. W ' aslialjaugh likes to catch up on the day ' s news. In his own playing days, Washabaugh was a topnotch athlete at Connellsville High School and at Indiana. There he played both tackle and fullback in football, guard in basketball, and second base in baseball. At the conclusion of his playing days, Washabaugh coached four years at Woodlawn High School, Aliquippa, Pa. Fol- lowing four more years as coach at South Hills High School, Pittsburgh, he moved to Pitts- burgh ' s South High where he attained top-notch recognition during his 10 year tenure. Then, in 1937, Washabaugh came to Westminster, where he has continued his amazing coaching record Mr. Washabaugli advises a player during half- tinu ' of a game. by winning 74 per cent of his games over a 14- year period. His teams went undefeated on their home court for 80 games in a row from December 1942 up imtil St. Bonaventure ended the streak last January. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that we dedicate this issue of the Argo to Westmin- ster ' s Athletic Director, Grover C. Washabaugh. Mr. Washabaugh is an outdoorsman and fish- ing and hunting are his fa orite pastimes. 15 APMIHrSTRATION Prcsicknt Will W. Orr Tlir On- tamiK , Dr. Orr, D;n id. Arliss. Mrs. Orr, Wilson. k Dr. Will W. Orr, college president, lia.s l)rought: We.stniiiister to new heights of prosperity since his arrival on campus in 1949. He came here from Des Moines. Iowa, where he was pastor of the West- minster United Presbyterian Church. Interested in discussing personal pro- blems with students, he welcomes them to his office for talks. Suggestions for im- provement in lioth curricular and extra- curricular life are brought to him and dis- cussed. Dr. Orr has brought the Centennial fund to over $840,()()0. He has traveled all along the east coast making speeches to raise money for the fund. The president, with his talent for long- view planning, has already accomplislied much in campus improvements. The Mem- orial Field House is already in use, and Rus- sell Dormitory for men was completed in February. The president ' s manse, in which he is now living, was completed a vear ago. Plans are still being made for a frater- nity row and a new science hall. West- minster now has an artificial lake, a new footliall field, a new track, and a new base- ball field. It was Dr. Orr wlio brought the college male (luartet to tlie foreground by taking them with liim on his fund-raisinu tours. Da id, Dr. Orr. and Wil.son play witli tlic train wliile Mrs. Orr and Arliss sew. IS Dr. William ' ander Lugt is in his sec- ond ' ear as academic dean. In this time he has become known as the students ' chief advisor in cmricular actixities. He aids them in arranging their schedules and in picking courses. He counsels many stu- dents on their personal problems as well. For some time his office has been study- ing the rex ision of the general curriculum. The dean directs the graduate program which has 171 students as well as the regu- lar day-time college. Born in Rotterdam, Netherlands, Dr. Vander Lugt was graduated from Calvin College with a degree in mathematics in 1927. In 1929 he received his master de- gree in philosophy at Michigan. Three years later he was granted a doctorate also by the University of Michigan. From 1929 until 1933 he taught philos- oph ' at Michigan. From 1934 until he came to Westminster he taught philosophy and psychology at Central College. He is a member of Rotary, the Ameri- can Philosophical Association, the Pennsyl- vania State Educational Association, and a member of the Middle States Evaluation Committee. He is also a supply minister at the Harbor Road Church. Dr. William Vander Lugt Mrs. ' ander Lugt, William, Robert, Elizal etli, Karel, Dr. Vauder Lugt.

' ean or t women Helen L. Sittig, Dean of Women, .serves the women at Westminster in two capacities, advisory and administrati e. With tlie help of her secretary, throngh correspondence she extends her hand to freshmen excn hefore their college entrance. She is in charge of establishing the residence of freshmen women and finding rooms for them. She reviews the results of the freshmen week tests and advises the women on how to overcome any deficiencies shown in tests. Miss Sittig acts as advisor for women ' s organizations such as Target. Cwens, and Senate, and serxes on the Student Conduct Committee, and the E.xtra- Curricular Life C )mmittee. Arrangements are made through her office for women ' s transportation to New Castle concerts. She also keeps a record of activities dates and regulates the social calendar for group and all-college affairs. The acti ' ities of all women are recorded in her office. In addition to all of this. Miss Sittig ' s responsibilitv includes overseeing the discipline of the dormitories and the instruction of house mothers. 20 2), en DR. WAYNE C. ClfRISTY Dr. Wayne C. Christy ' s job as Dean of Men starts in the year even before the freshmen arrive and continues until school is out in the summer. As dean it is his jol) to take care of the men ' s housing. His office keeps a record of each iipper- classman ' s residence on campus. He finds hous- ing for freshmen men, aiul arranges for their roommates. He usually tries to place men with corresponding interests together. Since they are often strangers to each other as well as to him this is a difficult job. His work in this line will be greatly facilitated with the opening of Russell Dormitory. During Freshmen Week before the upper- classmen arrive he holds orientation for the fresh- men teaching them the rules and the history of the college. Etiquette and study methods are included in this course. Other duties extending throughout the year are various. His office is in charge of taking attendance for chapel. The dean of men is ad- visor to Interfraternitv Council, Student Council, and Life Service. He is a member of Student Conduct Committee. It is his job to see that the college ' s policies towards student conduct are carried out. He is the veterans ' advisor. On top of this he teaches eight hours of Bible courses. He graduated from Westminster and re- ceived his doctorate from Pittsburgh-Xenia Sem- inary. He is married and has one child. DCPARTM(HTS 26 An artist spends much of his time at the easel. It is liere lie learns most about space, hnes of force, and color, as well as the other rides and theories of art. Westminster ' s art department aets as the center for major poster work and e.xhibitions on campns. Despite a serions decrease in the niun- ber of courses offered, and a reduction in the number of faculty members, the department has maintained its status as a major field. Mr. George Faddis, head of the department, instructs courses in elementary drawing and fine arts. He also teaches beginning and advanced painting, general art history, elementary art edu- cation, and seiuinar. Not all these courses are for majors alone. Alpha Uho Tan, national art honorary, spon- sors a dance each year. This year ' s Beaux Arts Ball was planned as an all-college affair, but because of a conflict in schedules, it was post- poned until a later time. The honorary is in charge of all exhibitions in the library. Each year art students display outstanding paintings, sculpture, and hand-craft. Mr. Faddis also shows some of his own works of the year. Other exhibits include reproductions of interna- tinoally known artists ' works.

Headed by Dr. Jolni Orr, it is one of the most active departments in the school. Actint in an advisory capacity to many activities is one of the departments rewarding jobs. Groups hke Christian Youth Fel- lowship, Karu.x, Life Servce, and the Gospel Team look to its professors for advice and leadership. As it travels to many churches and schools in caravaning, the Gospel Team gives to the public a view of the religious side of the school. The Seneca Hills Retreat held last October was one of the events sponsored by this department. Eighteen students took part in another program, public school Christian education. Once a week they taught classes in Bible at Eastbrook, New Wilming- ton, and ' olant high schools. Besides these outside activities, the Bible-Philosophy depart- ment offers courses ranging from Bible literature to modern methods in religious work. Wayne H. Christy Joseph M. Hopkins C.

Jean Calhoun B.S., Westminster; Assistant in Biology. Biology is a part of nearly every student ' s curriculum. Of the courses offered, general bi- ology is the most popular. Many choose it for their laboratory science requirement. From the study of the primitive Thallophyta and Protozoa, the general student goes to the Chordata. Trying to corner a paramecium under his microscope and dissecting a formaldehyde-soaked frog are part of the student ' s duties. Major students get an extensive training for future careers as doctors, nurses, and technicians. Courses such as vertebrate and mammalialn zoology stresses practical work. Students in these classes study such typical animals as the dogfish and the cat. Botany sends the students around the campus and into the countryside on field trips. Special emphasis is placed on the flower- ing plants and their habitat. From the study of slides and lecture work based on the frog, chick, and the pig, the student in embryology learns about vertebrate development. Dr. Myron L. Simpson, head of the depart- ment, received his Doctor of Science degree from John Hopkins University. After teaching at Gettysburg College, Dr. Simpson came to Westminster four years ago. A book lover. Dr. Simpson has a personal library in his Science Hall office. Arriving on campus five years ago, Mrs. Lucile Frey teaches courses in both major and non-major biology. Miss Jean Calhoun, graduate assistant, joined the department in 1948. She is in charge of all non-major laboratories. 31 J. Oliver Collins A.B..

Con.sideriiig our world today, chemistry is plaving a big role in everyone s life and will continue to do so. The atom bomb, newer and speedier jet planes, the advance in the curing of diseases — all these come within the chemist ' s scope. It is a huge field w ith man opportunities for doctors, technicians, and ehenn ' sts in factor- ies and chemical concerns. Students taking ad antage of this open field can be seen popping in and out of tlu ' Science Hall at all hours. Fumes from sulphur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, the clink of beaker, the explosions from wrong mixtures are well known to them. Courses in organic chemistrv, quantitative analysis, and thermodynamics keep the future chemist on his toes. Dr. John Collins, head of the department came to Westminster four years ago. He is the chairman of the local section of the American Chemical Society winch includes Youngstown College, Thiel, Grove City, and Westminster. The society is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. A jubilee held in New York City in September was attended by Dr. Collins and chemists from 45 other nations. Taking the place of Mr. John G. Zimmer- man in the department is Mr. Edwin G. Pierce. Mrs. Mira Milbouer, who lives in New Castle, comes in two days a week to assist in labs. This is the first year for both Mr. Pierce and Mrs. Milbouer with the department. 33 conomLcs an d ll3vi sinews dmlmsb atlovi Mr. Sloan watches as a student writes an aiisvvfr on the board. Samuel H.

Sclianck A.B., Xorthwestern; A.M., Nortliwestern; Ph.D., Syracuse Scliool of Citizenship; Lecturer in Economics and Business Admin- istration. 34 Modern economic trends are the subject of Sain Sloan ' s deep tliDunlit. Economics and business administration stu- dents first learn the basic principles of account- ing, also gaining from practical experience in lab. Production, consumption, and economic theories are thoroughly analyzed. Later on the students are trained to be- come future leaders and administrators in the business and economic world. Specific labor problems and conditions are studied. Collective bargaining and labor policies which are the object of much dissension in the present day labor world are analvzed and compared. All the many hours spent in juggling graphs, auditing reports and budgets lead the economics and business student to either his B.B.A. or A.B. degree. Captain McKee, head of the department, has taught here since 1924. He teaches junior and senior courses in economics and business policies. Replacing Mrs. Hanford is Earl McKenzie, a teacher at New Castle High School. Mr. Mc- Kenzie teaches elementary accounting, interna- tional economic relations and other courses. Samuel Sloan is associate professor of the department. A booming voice and enthusiastic spirit are characteristic of Sam . Dr. Richard Schank, lecturer, completes the faculty of this department. 35 (Education and jf 6i cLolo n Lewis H.

Combining education and psychology, this department is one of the school s most extensive. The number of students enrolled in education is increasing every year. Certified students will be fiualified to teach in the fields of music, busi- ness adminstration, and in secondary and ele- mentary education. The elementary department has doubled in size in the last year and will have about 48 stu- dents graduating in June. Prospective teachers learn proper school methods, do projects such as their students will do in the future, and learn basic courses in music, art, and arithmetic. Ob- servation and practice-teaching make up half of the elementary education student ' s senior year. Miss Allegra bigleright joined the depart- ment this year. From South Bend, bidiana. Miss bigleright was formerly director of elemen- tary education in that city. Dr. Wagenhorst, head of the department, came to Westminster in 1950 from Slippery Rock College. He teaches courses in secondary education. Miss Beulah Campbell has charge of most of the elementary education courses. Associate Professor Joseph Johnson teaches primarily in the field of secondary education. The psychology section of the department will graduate 18 students in Jmie. There are about 50 majors in the sidDject. Mr. Robert Higgins is director of testing on the campus. His biggest job is interviewing fresh- men, giving tests during Freshmen Week, and in- terpreting the residts. In his fourth year at Westminster, Mr. Claude Eckman spon.sors the Iota Delta and is assistant professor of psychology. A psychology major times a child for a testing course assignment. 37 Mr. Fon and Mr. McGill di.scu.ss p(irtr , wliil; ' Dr. FuriK and Dr. McGinnis criticize a thesis with Dr. ( ' liarles and .Mij.s Dull IciDkinij on. From the .shadovv.s of the past, out of the minds of the ancients come tlie stories of Beowulf, the Canterbury Tales, the pla s of Shakespeare, and the poems of Keats and Byron. Words of wisdom, humor, and tragedy give us the ideas of our ancestors. And interpreting and explaining these works is the job of tlie English department. In addition to the humanities and literature courses already on the curriculum, the depart- ment added a voluntary reading lahorator ' this year. Directed by Mr. Forrv tlie laboratory attempts to help any interested student in im- proving his reading habits. Besides fast readers among its students, this department can boast of ones who can speak in the strange sounds of Old English. Among the courses offered is Historv of the English Language taught by Dr. McGinnis. Scroll, the honorary of this field, holds an an- nual senior book contest for all seniors. To the senior with the best library goes the prize of additional books. The semi-aniuial literary magazine. Scrawl, is under the supervision of this department. Students of all majors contribute to the magazine giving it an all-college flavor.

Students in Journalism 251 received practical experience this year when they edited the Ell- wood City Ledger, writing stories and headlines for one day. The United Press teletype, as in past years, was installed second semester for use by the Journalism 252 class. The news bulletin board in the hall of Old Main was a direct product of tliis wire. The professors of this department supervise the pubications published by the students. Miss Nixon is advisor to The Argo. Mr. Collins directs The Holcad. As director of the news bureau, Mr. Collins is responsible for all press releases from the college. Baseball, basketball, and football games keep him very busy. Besides this, he must cover any incidental news that arises. Miss Nixon spent the summer visiting Britain and parts of Europe. While there she studied the ways of the British press extensively enabling her to pass this information on to her students. Students in Radio Writing class discuss problems of plotting and characterization for radio programs. 41 ocioio( i aence an John Wallis Creigliton A.R., Westminster (Mo.); Ph.D., Mis- souri; LL.D., Wooster; Professor of History, Cliairman of tlie Department.

Hi.stoiy lepeat.s it.self, i.s the well-known saying and it has proven itself thousands of times to be correct. Wars build themselves up under conditions similar to prexious wars. There are periods of depression, of prospertitv. Leaders of nations make mistakes similar to their pred- ecessors. A clear understanding of history is necessary to compare and to add up events, to make the better way the right way. Students study all types of history — of the United States, of Europe, of Russia, and of the Far East. The latter is more important than ever in our modern world. Dr. John Creighton, head of the history de- partment, came to Westminster in 1945. Dr. Wallace Jamison is in his second year here. Dr. Jamison, besides teaching hi.story, is in charge of the daily chapel programs. 42 Mr. Charles Curtis, instructor in sociology, is also in his second year. Dr. Martin Ridge from Northwestern, a new- comer to the department, is replacing Dr. Schuster. Lawyers and future government workers are among those who are political science majors. With a foundation in American govtrnment and administration, the political science student stud ' es comparative governments, diplomacy, and certain eco- nomic phases. In the law courses, the student be- comes familiar with contracts, torts, and Latin terms. Harry Manley, a Westminster graduate, has taught here since 1945. A part-time instructor is Thomas Mansell, also a graduate of Westminster. Sponsoring the Mock Convention this year, the departn ent alternates every two years with either the convention or Mock Congress. These events are valu- able in bringing practical experience in government to all the students. Charles G. Curtis Martin Ridge Harry S.

Public Administration. 43 During the earlv vears at Westminster, the study of language was one of the main fields. Before a student could graduate he was required to take either Greek tragedy or calculus. After the first world war, Latin and Greek suffered hadlv in graduate and under-graduate schools, and after the second world war the old languages gradually died out. The language department stri ' es to enable the students to read their language fluently and to develop teachers for high schools and college teaching. Gilbert H. Taylor A.B., Df Pauw; PI1.D., Michigan U.; Professor of Latin, Greek, and (lernian, ( liairnian Emeritus of Ancient Languages 44 Thomas R. Wiley A.B., Ohio State; A.M., Ohio State; Assistant Professor of Spanish. Some majors have entered the field of gov- ernment intelligence. Three years of any of the three modern languages are usually adequate for reading and understanding proficiency, in class as well as in native tongue. French, German, Spanish, and Greek are taught. Excluding the latter, courses range from beginning classes to seminars for senior majors. Literature courses are oftered as well as con- versation in French and Spanish. The language students study both the language and the culture of the nations where the language is spoken. Major theses are written in these fields. 45 atkematics The average college student seems to show a negative reaction to mathematics. Unless he is planning to be an engineer, mathematics teacher, or to specialize in a related field where a know- ledge of mathematics is rec|uired, such as chem- istry and phvsics, he steers clear of algebra, trig- onometry, and calculus. Perhaps it is the comp- licated-sounding terms — hvperbolic functions, permutations, collineations, and involutions, or orthogonal circles. Paul E. Brown A.B., Gciuna; A.M., Michigan U.; As.si.staiit Protcssor of MatlK-niatics. Vox all its high-sounding names, mathe- matics plavs a very real part in each individual ' s life. From adding up a grocery bill to the latest discovery of a new heavenly body, mathematics is used. Beginning students must first study the prin- ciples of basic mathematics. The relationship of mathematics to the practical everyday world is emphasized. As he advances, the student learns significant things about the triangle, the line, the circle, and commits to memory numberless theorems. Paul Brown, acting head of the department, has been teaching here for five years. Besides his mathematical duties, Mr. Brown is in charge of this -ear ' s lecture series. His home is in New Wilmington. . ' ssisting Mr. Brown are Dr. Robert Woods, member of the physics department and Mrs. Lola Christy. 46 Donold O. Cameron B.M., Westminster; M.Ed., PoniisyK ania State; Professor of Violin and Tlieory, Director of the Conservatory of Music. Passing the music conservatory, one can usually hear a do, sol, me, do, the racing notes of a piano con- certo, or the wailing sound of a violin. Students are always coming in and out and the practice rooms are constantly in use. The music department is husv and big. There are about 75 students majoring in music courses; also tak- ing music classes are about 50 other students. Music students study the history of music, theory, and harmonv. In dictation and sight reading, the stu- dent learns to develop his sense of pitch an d rhythm. The college choir and liand are popular courses. Piano and organ majors studv the well-known composers such as Bach, Czerny, Schumann, and Lisze. Bach is especially emphasized in organ study. Both the classical and the modern schools are con- sidered by the ' iolin major. He becomes familiar with the lives and compositions of Mozart, De Beriot, Bach, and Kreisler. The right way of breathing, of forming vowels, and of relaxing are important to the voice major. The student goes from English works to more difficult ones sung in Italian, Spanish, French and German.

Recitals, rt eiuired for students preparing for their Bachelor of Music degree, are a part of the campus social life. Mr. Donold Cameron, head of the depart- ment, has taught here since 1932. Director of the band and orchestra, he teaches violin, orches- tration, and courses in theory and harmony. He loves to sing himself, and so teaches others. That ' s Mr. Alan B. Davis, voice teacher. Alice Long Walker comes from Pittsbingh to teach voice part-time. Dr. James Evans is the energetic director of the choir. Making the chapel vibrate with a Bach overture, hushing the choir for a pianissimo, or directing with one hand while plaving a run- ning accompaniment with the other. Dr. Evans always renders an excellent performance. The women ' s Glee Club is led by Miss Ida Peabodv. Primarily teaching music education courses, Miss Peabody also teaches dictation, sight reading, and choral literature. Ronold Carley, teacher in fine arts music, piano and music theory, is a newcomer to the campus tliis year. A part-time instructor in brass instrimients in Mr. Frank Barbato. He fir.st instructed stu- dents here in 1940. Mr. Harry Joyce, who has also been here 12 years, helps the students develop skill in playing of woodwinds.

Activity in the Physical Education department has increased during the past few years. With the increased facihties provided by the field house for men ' s required classes, intermural, and inter collegiate sports, Old 77 has been turned over to the women. There were five groups which led extra-curricular activities in this depart- ment. These are W.A.A., Mermaids, Block W, T.V.C., and Outing Club. ETHEL M. COWLES MARGARET W. McBRIDE CHARLES G.

Until the turn of the century the physics department was known as the department of Natural Philosophy whicli then included physics, chemistry, geology, and astronomy. The Physics and Chemistry departments eyolved from this when the change was made. The present head of the department is Dr. James A. Swindler. He is assisted by Dr. Robert Woods. The Physics Department giyes its students a foimdation for advanced work in engineering, medicine, dentistry, graduate work, and indust- rial research for Westinghouse, General Electric, and other large corporations. The department offers general physics cour- ses to non-majors. These coiu ses include gen- eral physics, which is less-technical than major physics, astronomy, which is largely descriptive and non-mathematical, and accoustics for music students. 52 rii Under the supervision of Dr. Woods two physics students measure the tension of a taut metal band. Major courses include fields of heat and light, meterology, atomic or modern physics, mechanics, mechanical drawing, and themio- dynamics.

Galbreath, Jr. A.B.B., Westminster; M.Ed., Pittsburgh; Associate Professor of Business Education, (Chairman of tlie Department. A part of the l)usines.s administration depart- ment nntil 1932, the Bnsines.s Edncation depart- ment is now independent and is tauglit by a staff of three. During the depression the de- partment grew and separated. It was during the depression that the two vear secretarial course was organized whicli offered a certificate of proficiency. The pmpose of the department is to provide secretarial proficiencv, marketable skills, and good teaching methods. The department aims at sound and thorough training in secretarial efficiency and teacher training along with a liberal arts background. Poise, personality de- velopment, wholesomeness, and ability to get along with other people are also stressed. During the past vear the name of the de- [)artment was changed from Secretarial Science to Business Education. This was done primarily to add more prestige to the department in the hopes of making the field more attractive to men. This year the department is offering a non- credit course in personal typing for those stu- dents who want to gain proficiency in typing for their personal use. This course is taught by the senior majors in the department before they do their practice teaching. Majors as well as non-majors find a wide varietv of courses offered which ari ' of ' alue in many fields of business and education. Those courses offered include typing, shorthand, ac- counting, business English, and math, salesman- ship, consumer economics, office methods, and bookkeeping. Teaching in the department this year are Mr. Robert Gall)reath, Mr. Harvey Mercer, and Miss Arlene Risher. 54 56 The main divisions of the speech depart- ment are the theater, radio, general speech, speech education, and speech correction. The extra cmricular activities of this department are probably the most extensive in the school. Theater offers the biggest chance for par- ticipation to the most people. Under the direc- tion of Mr. Barbe and Mr. Burbick, the Little Theater produced three plays, You Can ' t Take It With You , Death Takes a Holiday , and Othello . Another was planned for later in the year. Every year the theater attempts to produce plays such as these. The Little Theater has been leading up to the production of Othello for the last two years. It began with the comedy, Two Gentlemen from Verona in 1949-1950. Last year, for their Shakespearean play they produced Twelfth Night . These two were given to let the stu- dents become familiar with the plays of Shake- speare. The tragedy of Othello has been the aim. The play itself, the production style, and the acting were done in the strict Shakespearean style. This also included the costiunes, setttings, and the general production notes. This made up the educational theater. In the experimental theater program. Masquers sponsored the 4:20 Theater the first semester. Beginning and advanced acting classes presented experimental plays to audiences in the surround- ing areas. A troup presented Uncle Jimmy Ver- sus Christmas to the Womens ' Club of New Castle. Suppressed Desires was staged for several local church groups and clubs. The department offers a number of courses in the theater work. Historv of the drama ac- quaints the student with past works and trends in drama and gives him a backgrovmd in the field. Interpretation, phonetics, beginning and advanced acting, help the under-graduate while he is still in Little Theater work. Stagecraft teaches him lighting, costuming, scenery, and makeup. 57 Every year besides plays, the speech depart- ment presents a High School Drama Clinic. All the high school students interested in drama in the Tri-state area are invited to the college. In tlie full da that they are here, thev hear lectures in all phases of the drama given by college stu- dents majoring in the field. lUrdio plays an important part in the depart- ment. The courses offered take the student from the very beginning in Speech 271 to the produc- tion and directing angle of the business in Speech 462. In tlie radio group WI W, under Mr. Barbe, tlu ' members plan, produce, and direct radio shows. The beginner gets a chance to enter radio work in the Collegiate Guild of the Air, directed bv Mr. Lewis. Through this group, after earning enough points, a member of CCA can enter WRW. WRVV also engaged in other activities. It recorded basketball games. It operated the public address systems at basketball and football games. It participated in live broadcasts over WPIC Sharon and WKST New Castle. It, CGA, and the radio classes took turns presenting a weekly show every Monday over WPIC Sharon. Above, Paul Talley adjusts the microphone xohimc switcli on tile studio ci:ntrol panel just prior to the pre- siiitation of WRW production. This is only one small preparation of many necessary in the production of a t pieal program. Left, a spet ' cii major, I hn ly Bovven, uses a wire re- corder to record a program tor presentation at a later time. Recorders like this one are used at haskethall games to gi e the students i ' peri ' nce in cox ering athletic events lor radio. 5S The debate team, under the superx ision of Mr. Melvin P. Moorhouse, was very successful in intercollegiate debate. The team met in nine tournaments. These were held at Mt. Union, Allegheny, Slippery Rock, Kent State, Pittsburgh, Wooster, Penn State, and Lehigh. Altogether they were in over 100 intercollegiate debates and the team won nearly three-fourths of them. During Easter ' acation, the team entered the national debates for colleges at Fredricks- burg, Maryland. There were three questions for the year. These were Should Wage and Price Controls Be a Permanent Policy, Should We Have Universal Conscription in Times of National Emergency, and a discussion question concerning better ethics in the nation as a whole. The courses offered by the department that can be used in the field of debating are discussion and argumentation, public speaking, and inter- pretation. Tau Kappa Alpha is the honorarv for debate.

Right, James King and William Barbe are shown in another scene from the same play. 59 60 Miss Mabel Dickey, Mrs. Eva Piirdy, Mrs. Aimee Ray, Mrs. Caroline Downs, Mrs. Elma Neal, Mrs. Martha Whiteliill, Mrs. Sybilla Johnson, Mrs. Elizalx ' th Wilkenson, Miss Charlotte Fleck, Mrs. Mary Withrow, Mrs. Charlotte Tinkle- paugh.

It also arranged for slumber parties in January, pledge teas in February, a speaker in March, and a style show in April. Miss Helen Sittig, dean of women, and Mrs. Martha Whitehill are Panhellenic advisors. Peggy Cole is president; Pauline Christos, vice president; Jean Geuther, secretary; and Patricia Reinheimer, treasiner. Twelve new inembers were added to the organization diu-ing the last part of March. 102 Three men from each of the four fraternities on campus compose the governing and enforcing board of Interfraternitv Council. This board rules on policies of action in- volving each of the fraternities and sees that these policies are carried out, especially those concerning rushing. Thev also represent the fraternities to the college. It annually gives awards for intermural sports. It rules in inter- fraternity competition. These things are involved in its pmpose of imiting and promoting coopera- tion between the fraternities. This past year they sponsored the Interfra- ternity Dance in February at the Cathedral in New Castle. An IFC king was elected by the girls attending the affair. For this dance women received late permissions and the migration re- sembled a small Dance of the Year. Officers this year were Charles Nicholas, president; David Hawbaker, vice-president; William Stedman, secretary; Charles Vogel, trea- surer. The advisor is Wayne C.

Pi Sigma Pi, has since its founding in 1939 maintained Phi Beta Kappa standards. In keeping with the requirements of that national organization, the local chapter encourages high scholarship, cul- tural interests, and worthy character, and honors superior students among candidates for the A.B. degree. The scholastic requirement is a 2.4 average at the end of the fifth semester. This active group features among its activi- tes the annual drive for new books for the library More than $200 was raised this year through the cooperation of the fraternities, sororities, and various groups and individuals on campus. Dr. Mary Purdy is advisor to the group. 104 Student Council chooses the students for Hsting in Who ' s Who among Students in Ameri- can Universities and Colleges . Those chosen are selected on the basis of scholastic achievement, campus activities, con- tributions to citizenship, personality, and promise for future usefulness in societv. All are seniors. The twelve picked this year for the 1952 edition of the book represent nine major fields. Journalism had three, music had two, and com- mercial teaching had one.

Student Council, attempts to further student activities and act as a Haison. l)etween students and administration. The council selects seniors for the Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities, and acts on the Comprehensive Examination Committee. Throughout the year the Student Council sponsors the All-College Who ' s Who, Hell Week, Tribunal, Homecoming, Shares, Sing and Swing, and class elections. This vear under the leadership of John Peter- son, it inaugurated Migration Day, the day when the entire school migrates to another college to watch the Titans play football. The Council directed activities, both in publicitv and operation, for Blood Donor Day. In April new members were added. Quali- fications for membership are election by class or by appointment of an organization. Mr. Paul Brown and Dr. Mary Purdy are ad isors to the organization. John Peterson is president; Dave Hawbaker, ' ice president; Jo Foster, secretary; and Ken Gordon, treasiuer. 109 HlCHLIOHTS Freshnit ' n, in a mad scranihlc, dasli tor tlic pile of shoes. JJJI wa Freshmen cooperation heightened the spirit of Hell Week and made this year ' s hazing the best in recent years. The event, sponsored by Student Council, was held in the early part of October, for a three- day period. A special committee, headed by Frank Legge, organized the punishments and set up rules for freshmen behavior and dress. Freshmen clothing took its usual hazing form — inside out and backwards, half-dress, half- sport, boys with make-up, girls without. Each day freshmen were required to wear huge name cards and collect names of twenty upperclass men or women. Thev had to report in the TUB each afternoon for registration — at the mercy of any upperclassmen who were lying in wait to give orders. These orders ranged from making the frosh (male and female) chew tobacco to making them clean up the TUB. Frosh Sue Krause signs up at tlie TUB as part of lier duties. 112 The year ' s official upperclass command, Shine, Frosh! , resulted in freshmen with stiff backs and dirty knees for the frosh, and shining shoes for the upperclass men as the command echoed over the campus. The second dav of Hell Week was high- lighted by the shoe scramble on the Quadrangle, when all the freshmen were relieved of their shoes, which were thrown in a grand pile. At the cry of Go they made a mad dash for the shoe pile. More than one was trampled or found himself minus a shoe. The annual procediue of praying for rain by the freshmen men proved perhaps a little more tasty to them when the Ferguson Hall girls spilled out candy kisses along with buckets of water. Friday night and Tribunal closed the year ' s hazing when all the disobedient freshmen were punished. Freshmen refusal to show fear over what was to come almost resulted in upperclass- men succumbing to freshmen spirit. Freshmen cheers for their class, College Hall, and the girls ' dormitories almost drowned out upperclass warnings that the worst was yet to come . But when punishments such as egg sham- poos. Block W paddling, and jumi ing on a floor of tacks were doled out, the freshmen con- formed to rule, and the upperclassmen once again took their authoritati ' e places. Freshmen nien cry, Rain, gi e us rain, and get doused by upperclass women. 113 .SuiTDUinlcd In lu r court sits I iDiiU ' coniing yucc a Miss Sue DcHai t.

There is just a long per iod of never ending wait- ing. Now the music stoj s. The crowd tenses. A man speaks into the microphone. A pause, then a shriek of happiness sounds. Miss Sue DeHart is crowned Homecoming Queen by Bandleader Art Mooney. Then her escort dances with the queen in lier moment of triumph. The time of waiting is over. The crowning glory comes the next day as the (|ueen, surrounded by her court, sits high atop the float as it seems to glide over the f()ot])all field during the half-time of the Homecoming game.

Committees worked for months planning bigger and better decora- tions, ones that would win this year. The work continued imtil the la.st, final minutes before the judges made their rounds. Boys worked that night from tlie time they took their dates home from the dance imtil 10:30 in the morning. The girls got up at dawn to finish their houses and dormitories. Himdreds of people waited impatiently for the announcement of the judges decisions. At half-time. President Orr announced the results. The winner of the dormitory prize was Jeffers Hall with the theme Even Noah Came to Welcome Our Alumni ' . A carnival theme, Centennial Carousel won the sorority honors for Chi Omega. Alpha Sigma Phi won the fraternity award with the theme Westminster Students Leave Old Main to Contribute to the World .

Sigma Nu featured a birthday cake and sym- bols of the college in its decorations. Sigma Phi Epsilon based its theme on a spin-the-wheel idea. For Phi Kappa Tau it was a Self Improvement to Improve Westminster theme. For the sororities. Alpha Gamma Delta used a water theme. It had a river boat representing the college with the president at the helm. It was a Roman candle theme for Theta Upsilon. Beta Sigma Omicron used a carnival theme and had a large ferris wheel built in front of its house. Kappa Delta, winners of the previous year, used a southern plantation cabin idea and had cotton plants in its yard. Sigma Kappa featured a circus theme.

This year Dr. Addison Leitch, dean and professor of systematic and Biblical theology at Pittsl:)urgh-Xenia Semi- nary, was the guest speaker. Dr. Leitch spoke at two daily chapels from November 12-16, and at special services held each evening. Each afternoon he was available for personal conferences. Each afternoon, too, an all-college prayer group met for a devotional service. Following the evening meetings. Dr. Leitch also met with various student groups. Dinners at various fraternity houses, luncheons at the dormitories, and the faculty tea, gave Dr. Leitch an opportunity to become better acquainted with Westminster. The communion service Sunday evening cidminated the week in the college year in which the entire emphasis was placed on the religious life.

An alumna of Westminster, Mrs. Vance talked on Poems for Everyday Living . Part of her lecture consisted of her own works. Recentlv she was awarded a UNESCO award for the best poem concerning the aims and works of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization. She has had several of her poems published in leading magazines such as the Saturday Evening Po.st and The New Yorker. Despite being a victim of polio, she has raised a family and published several books. Miss Lucile Cummings opened the Artist Series in November. She is a noted contralto. She appeared on NBC ' s Telephone Hour, in Radio City Music Hall ' s production of the United Nations , and in the New York City Center Opera Company ' s production of Aida . 120 Rutli Bryan Rhode Besides singing a number of songs in her repertoire, Miss Cummings spoke on Modern Trends in Professional Music . Miss Cummings, a native of Oregon, started her career with appearances in Los Angeles, Hollywood, and San Francisco. She was a guest artist at the first musical program ever given in Portla nd, Oregon civic theater. The artist series was directed by Mr. Donald Cameron. The second lecturer of the series was Mr. Richard L. Tobin, radio news director of the New York Herald Tribune. His topic was Wash- ington Review , a discussion of reactions to cur- rent world news among men behind the scenes in Washington. Mr. Tobin, a nephew of Ring Lardner, spent the war in England covering the bombing of London. He is an assistant professor at Columbia and gives weekly commentaries over a New York Hedley Hepworth station. Mr. Tobin is also a book writer having published his Golden Opinions in 1948. Hedley Hepworth, a leading English actor, brought to the lecture series his interpretations of Dickens ' Immortals. He featured svich characters as Wilkins Micawber, Uriah Heep, Fagin, Scrooge, and Sergeant Buzzfuzz. During the war he worked as an undercover agent for the British government. His manner of presentation was unique. He was able to change from character to character as he walked about the stage without the advantage of a curtain. He is a noted authority and interpretor of Dickens. An authoritv of the United Nations was presented by the lecture series in the Spring. She was Ruth Bryan Rhode. A woman of many activities, she was the first lady to be a minister to a foreign country, the first to be elected to Con- gress from the South, and the first woman on the foreign affairs committee in Congress.

Winning the Homecoming award was a thrill to the Chi Omega girls. The Chi O Carrousel featured pink and lavendar-spotted merry-go- round horses that went up and down, big orange and yellow giraffes, a barker, and real circus music. The annual pancake breakfast was a success with all the members eating heartily and gaining at least two pounds apiece. Chi Omega won the championship of the volley ball tournament. Sixteen pledges joined the sorority and were initiated at the Tavern. December ' s house party was a ski-lodge . Bright plaid blankets were hung aroimd the room, the deer head reigned over the festivities, and the Christmas tree added its piney smell and cheer to the party. Outside the snow was piling up; inside there were songs, stories, and steaming hot cocoa. In May Chi Omega danced, dined, and had a wonderful time at the Spring formal. The officers for the year were Joan Moninger, president; Doris Bush, vice-president; Amy Mar- tin, secretary; Beverly Lewis, treasurer. 128 Front row: Jeannine Spangler, Patricia Riiiesmitli, Viola Geverd, Rencf Roberts, Carolyn Kelley, Mary Jane Naser, Margaret Patterson.

Dottie Lou Smith again brought recognition to the KD ' s as she took top honors in the woman ' s tennis match. October ' s Hallowe ' en houseparty was held at Mr. D. L. Barbe s. Television and dancing kept busy those who didn ' t care to take part in the holiday games. Also in October the Kappa Deltas held their annual Koffee Kozy for the other sorority members. The friendly clink of coffee cups and homemade cookies added to the pleasant atmosphere. Dorothy Veon, province president, visited Alpha Phi chapter in November. A dinner was held at the Tavern so that the patronesses could meet her. Pledging season brought f8 new pledges to Kappa Delta. A spaghetti dinner was held at the Fowble ' s in honor of the pledges. January brought the slumber parties with the mad scurrying and scrambling for disappear- ing clothes and the sleepy-eyed girls for Saturday morning classes. For the January house party the KD ' s went completely Oriental for a Chinese party up at College Hall. Secret plans for the March pledge party kept actives guessing for months. The final outcome of the party was well worth the amount of curiosity. The Spring brought many good times to girls of KD. Practicing for Sing and Swing and .soft lights and music of the Spring formal at the Ell- wood City Country Club made the Spring mem- orable. The annual picnic at the Biberich ' s ended the year and said farewell to the seniors.

An outdoor treasure hiuit pro ' ed to be lots of fun for the girls and their dates in November. After canvassing the town in the cold, crisp, November air, the warm and cozy bonfire, com- plete with weiners and marshmallows, was just reward for the weary searchers. Tlie end of rushing foimd Theta U at a Hobo Convention after which time 16 new members were pledged. A Christmas part ' at the Grange was given for the new pledges, and a new sweet- heart song was then introduced. The pledges entertained the active meinbers with a variety of comic skits at the January slum- ber party. There were more skits than there was slumber that evening. Theta U ' s patronesses were given a tea by the members, and inx ited guests were the house- mothers, the dean of women, and the wives of the administration .staff. Dming the year, a Mother ' s Club was formed and welcomed into the group. A Donut Dunk brought the sororities to- gether for breakfast at the house. Plans were made for Sing and Swing, and for the highlight- ing week-end of Theta U ' s year, the dinner dance at Sharon ' s Shenango Inn, and the picnic at Mill Creek Park in Youngstown, thus bringing the social vear to a close. Officers in 1951 were Peggy Sickeler, presi- dent; Lois Baum, vice-president; Lou Knepshield, secretary; and Beverly Mergner, treasiu ' cr. Two pledges raid tlic ice liox at the Theta Upsilon liouse while the others try to dry dishes and watch the camera at the same time.

McDonald, on Maple Street, are a new featiue of Quadrangle, organized independent women, this year. Several meetings were held there first semester, and Mrs. McDonald invited the group to hold all its weeklv meetings at her home. Dr. Amy Charles, associate professor of English, replaced Dr. Schuster as sponsor of the organization. This year s activities for Quadrangle includ- ed the usual run of social parties and fun with perhaps just a little more fun than usual. In the Fall, an afternoon tea was given in Ferguson Hall loimge tor all freshmen women. Members in- vited men to a party at CJollege Hall. A limcheon was held for pledges at the home of Mrs. Mc- Donald. Mrs. John Orr, Quadrangle ' s patroness, entertaintd the group for an evening supper. The Christmas partv, including a variety of games, was held at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Vander Lugt. 1S6 In addition to social activities, the group aided bv other independent women decorated Ferguson Hall for Homecoming. Following the Centennial theme, figures of typical students, from 100 years ago to the present, were made. Mary Beth Mclndoe, sophomore, was chosen as the groups candidate for the National Sweet- heart of the National Convention at Kansas City. Judy Pitzer, sophomore, represented Quadrangle as candidate for Homecoming queen. Officers of the year were Ruth Anderson, president; Bonnie McHolme, vice-president; Lor- raine Hoburg, secretary; Kay Fairlamb, treasurer. Quadrangle was organized at Westminster in 1941. In 1948 the group joined the National Independent Student Association. Quadrangle members enjoy their leisure time in between sessions with their studies. The members of Quadrangle like to gather together to play cards and talk with other mem- bers in the e enings. iri ' Early in September the Alpha Sigs started rolling by redecorating the interior of tht ir house and by constructing a parking area for its mem- bers behind the house. The brushes weren ' t dry very long before the boys started work on Homecoming decora- tions. This time they took first prize with their winning theme, Westminster ' Round the World. A replica of old Main including a tower 40 feet high was built on the front of the house. In late October the campus was dazzled bv spotlights coming from the entrance of the Wal- dorf Astoria of Alpha Sigma Phi, the first house party of the vear. This party was followed in November bv a Bowerv Bums party. In November the Alpha Sigs were host to the sorori- ty presidents for a Sunday dinner. The climax of the rushing season in Novem- ber foimd the fraternity with 21 new pledges. Closely following their traditional Sweet- heart Serenade, the fraternity glee club moved into the spirit of the Christmas season with their Christmas Serenade to all the girls ' dormitories and sorority houses. The first night of vacation the Alpha Sigs held their formal at the Conven- tion Room in the Fort Pitt Hotel in Pittsburgh. In February the pledges surprised the actives with an excellent hoirse party with the theme of ' TV Amateur Program Backstage. In the Spring the Alpha Sigs held their last formal of the year. In between house parties throughout the year, open houses were held. Later in the year the fraternity jDarticipated in Sing and Swing. Officers for the year were Charles Vogel, president; Jack Griflfith, vice-president; Glenn Morris, secretary; Charles Kessler, treasurer. Alpha Sigma Phi was founded at Yale in 1845. Phi Pi Phi, a local, merged with Alpha Sigma Phi in 1939, the year it came to West- minster ' s campus.

And for those wlio don t particularly care to sing at the moment, there ' s always a card game of 500 or bridge going on. The second semester a tournament was held within the fraternity to find the chaiupions of 500 . One of the main bnsinesses of the fraternity is the eating club. Approximately 40 men eat in it regularly. Mrs. Dayis, the cook, has been with the fraternit ' oyer fixe years. Bull sessions are popular with any group of people. This is no different with the Alpha Sigs. Discussion centers around studies, social eyents, and women. 141 ma Front r(i v: Jolm Nelson, Ritliard Happ, John Arndt, Alan Williams, Paul Fenwick, Jerome Annick, Richard Banik.

Members of Sigma Nu frateniitv enjoyed a well-rounded program during the vear. To start oft the year, the inside of the house was redecorated and the outside of the house was repainted. Each of the rooms on the second and third floors were painted in various color scemes. A new television set was purchased and colorful drapes were added to the downstairs furnisliings. Sigma Nu took second place in the annual Homecoming decoration competition. The fra- ternity helped celebrate Westmin.ster ' s birthday with a giant cake, a replica of the college seal, plus a hu.sky football player and a Titan, both of which moved back and forth beside the cake. Big nights of the Sigma Nu year were a num- ber of houseparties. In October, brothers and their dates dressed in colorful costumes for an Indian party. In November, the 27 new pledges were guests of honor at a party the evening fol- lowing pledging. New Year ' s Eve was celebrated by the group in the first week in January, and in Februar ' , couples came to the house dressed as storv book characters . This party was pre- sented by the pledges. Another pledge activity was a smoker for the actives in January. The White Star Christmas formal was held in Mahon- ing Coimtry Club near Youngstown.

Favorite programs were football and basketball games, Milton Berle, and occasionally. Captain Video. Besides watching the football games, they liked to gather around the snack bar for cokes and sandwiches. 144 f ma After the evening meal, singing is a good relaxation for the Sigma Nus before they hit the books. The piano comes in handv at the house par- ties, especially during the entertainment. 145 111 athletics this year, the Sig Ep ' s were on top. Paul Campbell captained the Westminster eleven this fall, and Pat King was captain of the basketball team. Minor sport participation was impressive. This year thev won the intramural football trophy, pre-season basketball tourna- ment, and the intramural basketball league cham- pionship. The social calendar was full this year. A Carnival Homecoming theme led into the first houseparty of the fall, A Night in Harlem. Amid Mother ' s Club meetings and almuni gatherings, the Christmas dance was held at the Highland Country CHub in Pittsburgh. Sigma Phi Epsilon pledged thirtv-fi ' e men. With pledgemasters Jack Ramsey and Harry Sampson they imdertook the remodeling of the house interior. The Chapter was saddened bv the loss of Fred George and Jerry Sybert. A memorial room was added to the house in their honor. The officers for 1951 were: Charles Nicho- las, president; Don Carver, vice-president; Paul Campbell, secretary, and Frank Jones, treasurer. Sigma Phi Epsilon is the oldest fraternity on the Westminster campus. It was conceived as Pi Rho Phi Fraternity in 1854; and although abol- ished by the college in 1869, existed sub-rosa until 1923 when it received the charter of Theta Up- silon Omega. The year 1938 marked the national affiliation of this organization with the Sigma Phi Epsilon.

This until mil the fraternity purchased a house at 134 Waugh Avenue, just one-half block from Old Main, replacing the apartment on East Neshannock Avenue used bv the organization last year. They spent most of the year making im- provements, both internally and externally, on the new house, which provides living facilities for from 12 to 14 men. Sixteen men were pledged into Phi Kappa Tau this fall, making the total membership, 35. In November the organization held its first house party; during the year it held a total of four. The Christmas formal, attended by about 30 couples, was held at Ma Perkins in Niles, Ohio. The group held an all-college Autumn Dance in October, based on the theme of the ancient Greeks. A spring formal rounded out the social year. In the field of sports, teams were entered in both the intramural basketball and softball leagues. Professors George Bleasb y and Robert Kelly acted as advisors of the group. Officers this year were William Stedman, president; Harry Aichner, vice president; I.ee Corey, secretary; William Maurer, treasurer; Paul Wierman, chaplain; and Edwin York, ser- geaiit-at-arms. Phi Kappa Tau is the youngest fraternity on the Westminster campus. Originally formed as the local Delta Nu fraternity in September, 1949, it was kept secret for some time for organization- al purposes. Delta Nu became officially affiliated with Phi Kappa Tau national fraternity on March 10, 1950. Plans were formulated this year with a field secretary of the national fraternity for Westminster to become an active chapter some- time this spring. 151 Ed York, Louis Evert, and Lee Corey look at the Bill Kinipel and Bill Maurer chide Bill Meyer Phi Tail scrap book. while Crea Clark looks up a number. Group discussion is good in bringing out ideas. Often group discussions are just bull sessions. But when an important problem comes up the Phi Taus like to sit down and talk things over among themselves. Below, thev are pictured sitting in the parlor of their new house. In February after they fin- ished renovating the house, they held an all- college open-house so the students and faculty could see the good results of their efforts. 152 Bill Kimpc ' l and Bill Manrer help Bill Meyer as he fixes the attie. Pledges and actives like to gather around the piano for an occasional song fest. 153 The Independent Men is a soeial organiza- tion for non-fraternity men. It is a chapter of the National Independent Students Association. The local chapter was organized in 1941, and was named the Spartans. It was reorganized in 1946 after the war. This group was made up of mostly veterans. In the following years as the veterans graduated, a new group took over the organization. Today it has about 20 active members. The group has parties for its members, and takes part in the intramural sports of loasketball and football. The officers for the year were William Dan- ver, president; Robert Franklin, secretary; Dan Heintz, treasurer. 154 155 Athutics Joo For the first time in a decade and only the second time in the last thirty-one years, West- minster ' s football team finished its season with a winning record of five victories against four de- feats. The last Titan team to give a winning season was the 1941 eleven which won five games while losing three. After dropping their first game to the Slip- pery Rock Rockets, the Titans caught fire and won their next five contests. However, crippled by injuries suffered in the Waynesburg game, the locals dropped their final three tilts to end the season with a five and four record. The Titans were victorious over Juniata, 38- 13, Thiel, 14-0, Bethany, 21-7, Grove City, 27-13, and Geneva, 35-0.

The Blue and White took to the air- lanes with great success, compiling one of the best passing offenses in the district on the rifle arm of Quarterback Dick Banick and the receiving of ends Vic Bianchi, Bob Sistek, and Jack Welty. Banick set a mod- ern school record with thirteen touchdown passes in the eight games played. Both Banick and Bianchi were awarded honor- able mention on the mythical All-Pennsyl- vania football squad. On the ground the Titans were led by the running of speedy halfbacks Carl Mantz, Tom McGrath, and Larry Verone, and hardcharging fullback Paul Campbell. Opening the season at home against Slippery Rock, the Titans went down to the Rockets ' twenty yard line. The Blue and White took a 6-0 first period lead on a pass from Dick Banick to Carl Mantz, but Slip- pery Rock scored three times in the next two quarters for a 19-6 lead.

Verone scored the first Westminster touchdown on a 34 yard end rim late in the first ciuarter. Tom McGrath completed the scoring with a two-yard buck in the third stanza. Westminster won its tliird straight game, defeating Bethany, 21-7, before a large Home- coming crowd. McGrath put the Titans in the lead on their first offensive play of the game with an 80 yard touchdown jaunt, but the Bisons fought back to a 7-7 halftime tie. Banick ' s pass- ing broke the game open in the second half as he tossed to Sistek and Mantz for touchdowns. 160 Ruining Grove City ' s homecoming, the Titans took their fourth straight by defeating the Wolverines, 27-13. Overcoming a 13-7 halftime deficit, Westminster scored three times in the second half to win. McGrath and Campbell bucked over for touchdowns, while Banick tossed his second scoring pass of the day, this time to Sistek, for the other. Playing in the rain, the Titans won their fifth game of the season, defeating Geneva, 35-0, at Beaver Falls. McGrath scored two Westmin- ster touchdowns on runs of 58 and 51 yards, while Banick passed to Sistek and Mantz for two more. Mantz plunged over for the final Titan score. Waynesburg ' s Yellowjackets ended the Westminster winning streak with a 26-6 victory in the snow at Waynesburg. Trailing 12-6 at the half, the Titans lost both Banick and Sistek through injuries in the third quarter. The Jack- ets added two insurance scores in that period. Banick passed to Mantz for Westininster ' s lone score in the first quarter. Playing without Banick or Sistek, West- minster fell before Allegheny, 19-6, for their third loss. The ' Gators jumped to a 6-0 halftime lead and added six more points in the third quar- ter before the Titans could score. Chuck Nicholas ran back an interception for 101 yards for the only score. Allegheny added a final touchdown in the last period. Ending the season in Pittsburgh ' s snow-cov- ered Forbe s Field, Westminster was swamped by Carnegie Tech, 35-6. Tech put the game on ice with three touchdowns in the first six minutes of play. Banick passed to Campbell for the Titan ' s only tally with 45 seconds left in the game. 161 Playing their first year in the new Memorial Field House, Coach Grover C. Washabaugh ' s Westminster Titans completed another successful season by winning 15 games while losing seven. The season saw the end of the Titan s home winning streak, which grew to SO consecutive games before being shattered by St. Bona- venme January 5. However, the Titans dropped from the first place to fifth in the district ranking behind Duquesne, Penn State, West Virginia, and St. Francis of Loretto. The drop was due primarily to the rise in power of Du- quesne, West Virginia, and Penn State, all of whom ranked among the best teams in the nation. West- minster ' s record was not much worse than last year ' s. (Cont.

The game was closely contested throughout the first half, but the Wolverines broke the game open in the third quarter with two goals by Ralph Emerson to win 2-0. After the cancellation of a scheduled match with St. Francis, the Titans opened their home season against Slippery Rock. The Rockets ' Ken Stimmel scored in the opening period on a penal- ty kick. After that, the teams battled on even terms until the final minutes, when Stimmel scored his second goal to clinch a 2-0 victory. The following week Coach Burry ' s charges traveled to Slippery Rock, seeking revenge over the Rockets, but instead they came home on the short end of a 5-1 score. The only bright spot for the Titans was freshman Bob Meyer ' s first period goal. The goal was the first of the season for the Titans and the first scored against the Rockets. For the fourth time in as manv tries, the Titans lost out to a strong opponent as they dropped a home game to Allegheny 1-0. Leon Culberson of the visiting Gators decided the issue early in the contest when he pimched the ball past Goalie Bill Hartwell. The Titans ' four game losing streak came to an end November 6 when the locals registered their first victory of the year, defeating Indiana State Teachers College, 1-0. Bob Meyer scored his second goal of the season midway in the first quarter to provide the winning margin. The greater portion of the game was played in a driv- ing hailstorm. The team closed the season at home with a return game with Grove City ' s Wolverines. The fierce battle ended in a 1-1 deadlock that neither team could break, even after two over-time per- iods. The visitors scored early in the first period on a goal by Al Abernathy and maintained their margin until the last minute of the first half, when Ed Urban scjuared things for the locals. During the second half, the Titans displayed a fast- moving offensive. Although they kept their opponents bottled up, they were unable to score. Coach Burry will lose five players from this year ' s squad through graduation. Tliey are Captain Joe Amiano, Don Kirsopp, Paul Fenwick, Bill Hartwell, and Al Williams. 169 wimmm Scores 43 Slippery Rock 31 Carnegie Tech 26 Pitt 47 Edinboro 43 Kent State 32 51 49 ,28 32 52 39 46 54 Edinboro 23 W J 36 Allegheny 29 Slippery Rock 21 First row: Samuel Work, William Colt- jiian, Paul Fenwick, David RadclifF, Richard Calkins.

Burry ' s Westminster swim- ming team compiled one of the best records in the district in 1952 as they won seven regular season meets while losing two. The Titans fin- ished second to a strong Carnegie Tech sqnad in the annual Penn-Ohio meet, 60-46. Freshman Dave Radclifl: from San Diego, California, paced the Blue and White throughout the season, setting 10 pool records in seven meets. Radclilf missed two regular season meets and the Penn-Ohio because of sickness. The freshman won a total of 15 events, all of them freestyles, and was unbeaten in the 220 yard free-style, which he won in all seven meets in which he swam. Senior Bob Gavett gave the Titans added strength in the 440 yard free-style, which he won five times. A pair of sophomores, Tom Mc- Grath and Ken Wilson, won a total of 11 events during the season. McCrath took the 60 yard free-style four times and the individual medley once, while Wilson, who joined the team second semester, won the individual medley and the ' 200 yard breast-stroke three times each. Another good freshman prospect was Sam Work, who displayed good form in winning sev- eral events and in turning in several seconds and thirds. Others who helped the Titan cause were Paul Fenwick, Harry Sampson, Andy Sands, Bob Campbell, Burdette Keppel, and Bill Colt- man. Both Titan relay teams also played a big i art in the success of the team. The 400 yard free- style relay team won its event in eight of the nine meets, while the 300 yard medley relay team won twice. The Titan success dining the season was due a great deal to the fact that they were unbeatable in two free-style events. The locals took the 220 yard free-style in all nine meets, as Radclift won seven times while Gavett and Work also won one each. In the 440 yard free-style Gavett took first five times, while Radcliff won three times and Work once. Finish!

Contracts were let for printing and engraving. During the siunmer the dummy for the book was drawn up and a photographer contracted. From the beginning of the school year, the hundreds of pictures started to be taken. Freshmen Week, Homecoming, Religious Em- phasis Week meant more pictures.

In between times, our staff photo- graphers were busv with many more shots needed to record campus life. In January copv began to be written. Thousands of facts went through the Argo office and became thou- sands of words. In February, engraving proofs poured in. In March the final form of the book was completed and people were asking, When will it be out? Finally our year ' s work was over and we were glad, and sad, too.

It consists of all types of literature including short stories, non-fiction, poetry, prose, drama, radio scripts and book reviews written by the students and the staff members themselves. Each issue is centered around a theme which is carried throughout. The theme for the Fall 1951 issue was Nothing in life is to be feared; everything is to be understood. The issue for Spring, 1952, was the Westminster Centennial issue, for which advance sales were made for the first time. Scrawl had its first issue in 1939 and has put out thirteen issues since. In the past. Scrawl has taken various magazines, such as Tomorrow, to use their make-up as models. But in more recent years, the make-up of the Atlantic Monthly has been used. Line drawings have been em- ploved in illustrations, but in 1949 photographs came into use in Scrawl and were used again this year. The nature of the content of Scrawl has remained unchanged, but the magazine has grown in size, and the format has grown from small size to the size it is today. The publication is sold to students and alumni. Scrawl exchanges issues with about 50 colleges and universities. Prizes are awarded to authors in Scrawl by the Inter-fraternity Coun- cil and Chi Omega sorority to further interest in literary writing. An award for art in Scrawl has been given by Theta Upsilon sorority. Advisors of the group are Dr. Amy Charles, literary advisor, and Miss Elizabeth Nixon, tech- nical advisor.

And for this fact I wish to give my appre- ciation to the staff, listed on the next page, for their untiring energy, and their unbelievable abil- ity to work with a crankv editor. Especially, I want to thank Loa Mvlander and her staff for the excellent job done on the photography, and to Joan Carnahan for her wonderful work.

These people include Mrs. Helen Dougherty of the Northern Engraving and Elec- trotype Co., Canton, Ohio; Mr. Walter L. Wyant of Kurtz Brothers, Clearfield, Penna., printers of the Argo, and the photographers of Colao Stu- dios, Pittsburgh. The staff and I want to thank the people on campus who have been pleasant to the staff mem- bers as they gathered information and took pic- tures for the book. As for the people who were unpleasant, we have nothing to say. We want to thank Mr. George Collins, direc- tor of the news bureau, for special photography assistance when needed. We want to thank the people who made it possible for us to have a place in which to work. As a lasting thought, we want to thank the person who has been invaluable in giving us ad- x ' ice and consolation and aid when we needed it, who always had a wise suggestion and a cheery word, who always was willing to help us in any way. We mean our advisor, Miss Elizabeth Nixon.

Something to keep in mind — Piojjress in education lias been one goal in your college ' s liundied year liistor ' .

W. 46 3 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 enjoy it. The friendships made through these associations with your sorority sisters will outlive the memories of the dances and parties, making your life richer. Experiences such as sorority life 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. Alpha Gamma Delta Kappa Delta Beta Sigma Omicron Chi Omega Sigma Kappa Theta Upsilon 21.3 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 activities 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.
