COLLINS became the stock answer to any problem connected with pictures of events on Westminster campus. But those who knew him, and particularly his students, sought his advice on more than problems connected with pho- tography. I-Ie constantly adhered to the high standards of his profession, and his quick wit and ready humor made him in- valuable in his dual job of professor of journalism and publicity expert. Inside or outside the classroom he never failed to help if he could. But even more important, if he did not know, he never wasted people's time by hedging, but promptly suggested another source of help. A big man in every way, he did his job in such an effortless manner that few realized the amount of work he did to make Westminster's name known throughout the country. No man disliked fuss or cant more than he, and as a student body we pay him our highest tribute by simply saying We still miss him. We proudly dedicate to Professor George C. Collins the Argo l954, which tries to do the job at which he was so adeptee present a pictorial record of past events. 4 as ap fmf:,f ,Q 4,9 150' fgsw' MMM 157 x 5 r . ff' 519. if 4 , 351 '- 5 'Q w Russell Hall - By Day ,W 7, At Night Wallace Memorial Chapel ,gnc e X ms?

No college presidents job is easy, particularly when raising money to pay tor heavy commitments is added to ordinary ad- ministrative duties. Dr. Will W. Orr came to Westminster in the spring ot l949. Since his arrival, in addition to his duties as chief administrator, he has travelled thousands of miles and made hundreds of speeches to raise money so that Westminster can have buildings oi which she can be proud. We saw con- crete evidence oi the president's success early this year when the building fund shot over the million mark. l5 ss 1 s '.7! nf' ., .N . 16 Y THE DEA The bench outside the dean's office needs little of the jani- tor's attention. lt is so much used by people waiting to see the dean. ln his job as academic dean, Dr. William Vander Lugt's advice is frequently sought by both faculty and students. He lives by the philosophy he teaches, and during the three years he has been with us has encouraged many to keep on who would have given up. ln addition to his ability as an advisor he has wielded his influence in reorganization of the academic program, and thus tried to insure that Westminster should produce men and women who realize the meaning of life. Deon of Women Helen Sittig and Dean of Men Wayne Christy need no introduction to any student who has been on the campus more than a couple of days. A description of their responsibilities would alone provide enough material for a book. Ranging from counseling to arranging the social pro- gram, theirs is a clock round all year job, and, being concerned as they are, with all students, it is surprising how they manage to mete out so much individual attention. MISS HELEN SITTIG DR. WAYNE CHRISTY Dean of Women Nix fs.. 1 sv, 17 Dean of Men THE PAD LTY We seldom think ot the difficulties we rnust present to the rnen and Women who have the job of guiding our studies. Here We pay thern tribute by saying thank you for the patience and perseverance they show in trying to equip us for the days that lie ahead. 18 FRANK BARBATO Naples Conservatory Master Diploma in Trom- bone, Piano, Voice and Theory ARTHUR A.

But often it is the only appeal possessed by students when looking for jobs. Sad is the case of the student whose record is not worth looking at, but it would be even more sad if that record were not kept efficiently. Here we say thank you to Miss Ramsey, our recorder, and her staff, because We know that no Westminster student has to fear that his record Will not be presented correctly. We glibly label staff the college people and jobs not connected with teaching, but no less vital to our life here. ln the business offices, in the kitchens and about the grounds, the members of the staff labor all the year round, and here We say thank you for a job Well done. 32 MN.

The first, in conjunc- tion with officials of Iameson Memorial Hospital, New Castle, is a Nurses' Educational program, and the second is a college kindergarten. Organized for local children, the kindergarten is held in conjunction with the local school board and State educational authorities. 40 Ki ,Q K!

They are the group of nurses who come each day from lameson Hospital, New Castle, in accord with arrange- ments maole between officials of the college and hospital oi-ficials. The girls have spent two semesters here, and each has acquired l7 hours credit in sub- jects most likely to be of use to them as nurses. ln this way, their qualification of R. N. will mean more to them, and they will at the same time be better suited to succeed in their chosen vocation. Dr, Prank McClanahan discusses future policy with lvlr. l.

They are the members ot the college kindergarten. Every day during the past year, under the direction ot Miss Beulah Campbell, Westminster elementary educa- tion majors have guided the activities ot 45 tive-year old children. From this experience, the students have been able to put into practice knowledge acquired in class, and the children are better equipped for next year's first grade. The satisfaction expressed by parents, children, and student teachers, confirms the evident success of this venture.

Nor did the cold wind prevent the Titans from snatching a 14-12 victory over Grove City college. Preparations for the week-end involved much student planning and late hours, but the end result suggested they were justified. Beta Sigma Omicron won the sorority house decora- tions contest, Alpha Sigma Phi led the frater- nitiesg and Browne Hall was voted the best decorated dormitory. Following the game, Dr. Will W. Orr laid the cornerstone of the new Freeman science hall, and Mr. Fillamore Campbell presided at the ceremony. A combined student-alumni dance in Old 77 climaxed the day. The following day, Sunday, the college choir made its contribution by an impressive rendering of Saul's Holy City at 3:30 p. m. and Homecoming week-end ended with a ves- per service in the college chapel at 7:45 that evening. EUNVUEATIU The weather for Convocation could not have been more fitting on Tuesday, October 21, had it been specially ordered. The principal speaker, Dr. Willis Everett Pratt, president of lndiana State Teachers' college, in his speech America's Di- lemma . gave us food for thought both as students and citizens. Dean William Vander Lugt addressed the thirty students who obtained 2.75 or better academic standing this year, and our president, Dr. Will W. Orr, officiated in granting four hon- orary degrees. Thirteen new faculty members were also officially pre- sented.

SPTHTTUAL EMPHASTS WEEE For almost 70 years Westminster has set aside one Week when students not only sit and listen to ministers expound the Christian religion, but they are especially encouraged to ask the whys and Whereiores. This year's Spiritual Emphasis Week was conducted by Dr. L Calvin Reed, pastor of Mt. Lebanon Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh. Dr. Reed's theme was Victorious Living , and in addition to three services each day, plus student conferences around the campus, he was constantly besieged by students seeking the answer to personal and age-old problems. That the Week passed smoothly is tribute to the planning committee which, with Dr. George Bleasby as taculty advisor, consisted ot Verlee Tones and Ed. Liddell. 55 y ,fi 'Democrat indeed! I'd be ashamed! 'Mr. Than-Meet the Press! Four spades .... And New York isn'l in yet. Well, we thought he'd make it. But not that much Mllllli ELEETIU President Eisenhower was well aware of the honor paid him by the American nation on November 24, 1953. But it is unlikely that he was then, or is even yet aware of the honor paid him by the student body and faculty of Westminster col- lege, New Wilmington. As during the previous year, the Mock Republican Conven- tion on our campus nominated General Eisenhower as its can- didate, this year, the student body elected Mr. Eisenhower for United States President at the Mock Election. The election, sponsored by Mr. Donald McKee and political science and history students, was an attempt to combat the apathetic attitude towards politics that seems to have pre- vailed for the past few years. The attempt was successful. Voting took place during the day. Although slow at first, its rate accelerated with the clay's progress, and a short time before the polls closed, it was positively brisk. Only pepole who had previously registered were permitted to vote. As an added attraction, student council organized a dance in Old 77 , starting at 9:00 p. m. Dancing there was, and much pop guzzling and pretzel munching, but the most entertaining spectacle was provided by the various committees as they posted the huge notice board as national election results spilled out of the TV and radio transmitters. Women obtained one o'clock permissions, but as usual, the deadline approached all too quickly, and by midnight the less political-minded couples wandered away to attend to more mundane affairs. Naturally, Democrats were not pleased at the outcome as were Republicans, but all were agreed that even the election results could not mar the pleasure derived from a mock election. 57 IVAN SANDERSON LE ETUHE SERIES BERNARD IDDINGS BELL The lecture series opened this year on October 30 by that master raconteur lvan Sanderson giving his lecture Adven- tures ofa Roving Zoologistf' Having made several global trips to collect animals for the British Museum, written six books, con- ducted eight tropical expeditions, and organized successful radio and television programs, Mr. Sanderson was well qualified to pack his talk with intense interest. Conversation on campus in the following days suggested that the zoologist swelled still more his already impressive list of natural science enthusiasts. Dr. Bernard lddings Bell, formerly a professor at Columbia university, and connected with the teaching profession for 35 years, delivered the second lecture in the series on November 20. Canon Bell, with 2l leading magazine articles and 19 books to his credit, and on record as having lectured at Oxford, Har- vard, Yale, Princeton, Vassar, Westminster Abbey, and many English cathedrals, is a recognized Western authority on educa- tion. His talk, Crisis in American Education was well-named, and his remarks confirmed the dangers which await the Ameri- can people if they do not guard against the apathy which seems to be displayed at the present time regarding the state of our educational system. 58 HOWARD HIGGINS LISA SERGIO Among the Spirits , a lecture given by Dr. Howard Hig- gins on Thursday evening Ianuary l5, proved to be an unusual program. Divided into two parts Dr. Higgins in the first half of his lecture made a good job of convincing many of the sceptical in his audience of the fact that there might after all be something in fortune tellers and their ilk. But then followed the expose'. By dint of pure scientific approach, Dr. Howard debunked any popular beliefs which might lend credence to the practices of mediums and fortune tellers. We were sorry that Miss Lisa Sergio was prevented from delivering her lecture on world affairs. Many had been looking forward to seeing and hearing this remarkable woman who so distinguished herself during World War ll. However, her sub- stitute Miss Annette Snapper, gave us much to think about as American citizens in her lecture Europe in Today's World. Miss Snapper spoke from first-hand observation, having re- cently spent considerable time in the homes of ordinary people in Europe. More important, she painted the picture as it really is, and not as we so often like to think of it. Our Ogden Nash proved to be as popular on our campus in his speaking as in his writing. Bringing into play his experi- ence of two decades, Mr. Nash confirmed in our mind that he will certainly go down in history as the leader in the field of his own particular brand of humor. The quality of the lectures reflects great credit on Mr. Paul Brown, organizer of the series. 59 OGDEN NASH DEPARTMENTS ART Mr. George Fcxddis Enamelinq, an age-old medium of art expression, has great- ly stimulated interest in the already busy art department. The interest was motivated when students visited the Cleveland Museum of Art. There they saw the marvelous presentation ot Byzantine enameled panels. The lasting beauty and color ot these pieces motivated our students to themselves produce many beautiful pieces, specializing on enamel jewelry.

Formerly known as the Secretarial Science department, and ai-tiliated with the Business Administration department, the Business Education department is now in- dependent, and has a statt ot three. The department has a dual purpose. lt is designed primarily tor those stu- dents Who plan to complete the tour- year program leading to the degree ot Bachelor ot Business Administration in sec- retarial studies. The curriculum includes training in the basic secretarial skills and good teaching methods, plus a wide range ot cultural courses. Students can complete the secretarial course in two years. Rho Gamma, business education hon- orary, was organized tour years ago by students ot the department. This organi- zation brings personal relations closer among its members. l-lead ot the department is Mr. Robert Galbreath, lr. Qther faculty members are Miss Arlene Risher and Mr. George Watto. 65 Now is the time for all good BIULUEY J ii Mrs, Lucille Frey, Dr. Myron Simpson , '--Wy. ff! Glow little qlowworm 66 You are being watched could very well be the motto of the Biology de' partment, as here goes on a ceaseless round of observation of matter, both still and moving. Neither does one need to lack for company here, as even when students and faculty have been long gone home, there always remain the lively little mice and the grinning skeletons. During the past year, in addition to providing courses for regular students, the department has taught 25 student nurses from the Iamieson Memorial Hos- pital. They commuted each day, and studied under the direction of Dr. Myron L. Simpson and Mr. Hugh C. Bawls. Much interest was shown in the genetric experiments conducted with four pairs of mice under the direction of Mrs. E. Lucille Frey, assistant professor. At the time of going to press the four had multiplied to fifty, and the department is anxiously looking to the time when they can occupy accommodation in the new science hall. A varied assortment of new equipment has been acquired during the past year for use in anatomy, physiology and parasitology courses. The Biology honorary, Beta Beta Beta 5 's Nl carried out a valuable proiect last March in blood typing students on the campus. ln addition, they have made several field trips and had the oppor- tunity of hearing authoritative speakers in their own and related fields. No spore thank you. 67 Q CHEMISTRY Dr, Ohve-I Collins, Mr. Thomas Cummings 4' A cloud over Westminster's campus does not always indicate rain. lt might be just the end of an experiment that one of the chemistry majors did not learn in class. There is a variety of reasons why Westminster students study chemistry. As one of the three leading industries in the United States, chemistry offers an unsurpassed choice of vocational opportunities in the fields of atomic energy, medicine, metallurgy, and explosives. ln addition, extensive research and application ensures rapid industrial expansion with a consequent increase in the opportunities available. A number of students major in chemistry with a view to teaching, and among the non-majors are those who study chemistry so that, along with biology, physics, and mathematics, they may have an all-round scientific knowl- edge. Last of all, are the less fortunate who struggle through chemistry to ful- fill the science requirement needed by students for a degree at Westminster. The Chemistry Club, an organization of students who have taken at least a year of chemistry, was recently accorded the honor of affiliating with the American Chemical Society. Under its faculty sponsor, Dr. I. O. Collins, Chem- istry department head, the club has an active program. During the past year, they have visited industrial plants, watched a number of movies, had several opportunities of listening to authorities in the chemistry field, and have ex- changed visits with several neighboring colleges. Mr. Thomas Cummings joined the department during the past year, and has taught courses in physical and organic chemistry. He replaced Mr. Edwin Pierce.

McKee, chairman, Dr. Zita Hanford, Mr. Ronald Iones The Business and Business Administration department during the past year has made its annual contribution to industry. Majors have left the department to enter various industrial fields, and put into practice the principles and knowl- edqe absorbed at Westminster. Students are given an extensive background in the basic principles of accounting, economics, and business administration. They are also kept up to date with the latest developments in production, consumption and economics. ln the field of industrial relations, specific labor and administration prob- lems are studied, and this study is supplemented by actual practice in industry. 70 The Economics and Business Admin- istration Department strives to ensure a future supply ot men fitted to till the needs of business and industry. Dr. Hanford returned to the depart- ment at the beginning of the year. Also new to the department were Mr. Ronald lones, Mr. Robert F. Miller and Mr. R. Richman. Mr. Richman Was, before com- ing to Westminster, a practicing attor- ney at law in Chicago. Also at mid- semesters Mr. McKee, chairman of the department, was granted sabbatical leave and Mr. Samuel Sloan was ap- pointed temporary chairman. Corn is up 4 per cent Blame it on the . . .

Waaenhorst, Mr, Ernest Saul. With Americas ever-increasing demand for certified teachers, Westmin- ster's education and psychology department continues to expand. Under the direction ot Dr. L. H. Waqenhorst, the department has two divisions. On the education side, Dr. Waqenliorst teaches a number of courses, and the majority of the elementary education courses are taught by Miss Beulah Campbell and Miss Allegra lnqleriqht. Mr. Ernest L. Saul, who joined the department during the past year, teaches part time. 7 Z l A varied selection ot psychology courses is made available to students under the direction ot Mr. Claude Eckman, Mr. lohn Edwards, and Dr. Gildo Santivicca. This section oi the department also provides various psychological testing services which prove ot great value to students in planning their cur- ricula. The kindergarten, under Miss Campbells direction, started by the college at the beginning of the year, has proved to be a Worthy project. Not only has this provided a service to the community's children under school age, but it has given elementary students a good opportunity to use the knowledge they have gained in the classroom. Similarly, the kindergarten has provided psychology students with valuable case histories, and the recording ot these has not only given the students good practice, but insures the availability ot intormation tor use with those who come atter. 'lv 4 I Once upon cz time ....... 73 E GLISH Dr. Iohn Forry, Dr, Mary Purdy, Miss Duff, Dr. McGinnis, Dr. George Bleasby, Miss Frances Brown, Dr. Amy Charles. The English department has been pleased with the results obtained by the tachistoscope, a recent addition to the course in remedial reading. The machine consists of a powerful light, a lens, and a time meter which may be operated from one second to one hundredth of a second. Slides of numbers, words, phrases, and sentences which vary in complexity, are flashed on the screen. The tachistoscope is used to aid the student in seeing the word com- binations more rapidly. Any increase in word perception is automatically trans- ferred to his own reading. Through the use of a series of slides, illustrating word formations, the student also increases his vocabulary. Dr. lohn Forry, Dr. George Bleasby, and Dr. Myrta McGinnis Were in charge of the poetry reading festival this year. Reading trials began in mid-Ianuary and finals were held on February 16 in Ferguson Hall lounge. The purpose of the festival was to encourage oral interpretation of literature. Drawing as many as forty contestants, the program stimulated a general campus interest in the reading of poetry. 74 L 3 ii Outside reading due .... A course in English grammar was added to the curriculum during the past year, and it is telt that this will be greatly appreciated by grammar-weak students. The department bas added several poetry and drama records to its collection, and has begun to collect a library ot film strips ot various periods of English literature.

All aboard! Manhattan Limited leaves Old 77 at lO o'clock! A great deal ot excitement was in the air the night two special buses lett our campus to take a group ot civic-minded students to tour the United Nations building. ln this way they supplemented their knowledge ot past history gained in class here with Watching history being made. Students who were fortunate enough to go on the tour, not only saw the backroom boys and various secretariat battle with the mountains ot cor- respondence, which naturally accompany any international organization, but were able to sit in on one of the U. N. meetings and hear samples ot the negativism which daily pour from rep- resentatives ot the dark side ot the lron Curtain. 'f' 6 and PULITIEI-XL SUE EE This department also sponsored the mock election, and its majors were the chief organizers ot the balloting and recording arrangements. There was great enthusiasm from all branches of the school for the International Relations club organized at the beginning oi the second semester. Each Week they met to discuss current international problems, and in April, opportunity was afforded for the club members to see our government at Work, when a trip was organized to Washington. This year the department has had an almost completely new start. Dr. lamieson was appointed head of the de- partment, Dr. Delber McKee joined Dr. Ridge to teach history, Mr. Donald McKee was appointed to teach political science, and Mr. Carl Waisenen taught sociology. 4-D He who laughs last . 77 Qgpsdvpw' d,.....v.,,, Kev 'Fe' ' JUUHNALISM Miss Elizabeth Nixon, Mr. George Collins Ding! Ding! Ding! .,.. Non-journalism students must otten wonder why, every so often, the sound ot three little bells ringing comes from the news bureau on the fourth iloor ot Old Main. Each time the little bell rings three times is a warning that another world-stirring event has recently happened, and that the U. P. machine set up there is about to permit Westminster's journalism students to obtain the news just as quickly as the editorial desk on the New York Times or any other large news- paper. Having the opportunity of editing the U. P. bulletins each day is just one ot the pro- jects which adds interest to the news writing and reporting class. Members of this class also edited the New Wilmington Globe and the E11- wood City Ledger. During the past year, members ot the sen- ior seminar class produced Seed and Silo. a newspaper designed to interest the local farm communities. This project gave the seniors ex- perience in assembling and publishing news, and at the same time, provided good publicity tor Westminster. Several members ot the departrr1ent's Spe- cialized Press class had experience in working on publications at Standard Oil Company, Ioseph Horne's, Sylvania, and Universal Bundle. ln addition to the above, journalism stu' dents published the Holccxd, Westminster's Weekly newspaper, and the department was Well represented on the start ot the 1954 Argo. and the spring and tall issues of Scrawl. the school's literary magazine. The department telt keenly the death ot Mr. George Collins last November, and students tried to show their appreciation ot him by rally' ing under Miss Nixon and continuing the school's publicity program, until the arrival of Mr. Robert Carey at the beginning ot the second semester. Mr. Carey is a graduate of Westminster, and since leaving, has had experience in the newspaper field, and prior to coming to West- minster was associate editor of H. l. Heinz em- ployee publications.

A visitor to Gld Main's top floor any morn- ing during the past year would have thought a class had strayed from the Music Conserva- tory. But the music would be coming from one of Herr Biberich's German classes. This is one of the unusual methods used to instruct the vari- ous languages oiiered each semester in West- minster's language department. With Dr. Turner's arrival during the past year, courses in Latin have again been offered. This language is ot special value to pre-minis- terial, pre-medical and pre-science students. In addition, the teaching profession urgently needs people qualitied to teach Latin. Also during the past year, Dr. Taylor, head ot the department, taught German and Latin, Mr. Wiley has taught Spanish, and all the French classes have been taught by Miss Ligo. We want more Lctbensraum . . . . . . ATHE ATIES Mathematics, one ot the original tour liberal arts , is no longer required at Westminster for a lib- eral arts degree. Yet to meet the needs oi students preparing tor careers in engineering, science, or math an extensive program is offered. Since even the first course in college mathe- matics presupposes a background of high school algebra, many students, because ot inadequate training, avoid any further work in this subject. Keeping in mind the preparation ot such students, the department is again ottering a course in algebra adjusted to their needs. Kappa Mu Epsilon, the national honorary in mathematics has a chapter on Westminster's cam- pus. Membership is by invitation, and is extended only to those students who meet certain scholarship requirements. Among other activities, the honorary awards a prize each year to an outstanding student in the freshmen mathematics course. Paul Brown is acting head oi the department, assisted by Merrill Palmer, who was recently added to the stati as an instructor. George Conway, as- sistant professor in the department, is on leave ot absence this year. Never could draw u straight line.

With high fidelity recording equipment, students have the oppor- tunity to record and then improve their performance by listening to themselves on the play-back. The head of the department, Mr. Donald O. Cameron, teaches violin, orchestration, courses in theory and harmony, and also directs the band and orchestra. Assisting him are Mr. Alan B. Davis, instructor in voice and conducting, Mr. Clarence Martin, voice and fine arts music teacher, and director of the college choir. Miss Dorothy Kirkbride teaches piano, junior harmony, form and analysis, Miss Mary Scanlon is responsible for music education courses, dictation, sight- and fine arts music teacher, and director of the women's glee club. Mr. Arthur Birkby, the college organist, in addition to instructing in that instrument, teaches composition and history of music. Visiting professors are Mr. Dallmeyer Russell, Mr. Frank Barbato and Mr. Harry Ioyce. With this impressive list of faculty mem- bers, and the variety of courses offered, it is understandable that students are able to get experience in every phase of music. The records of past students prove that Westminster students are Well equipped when they graduate from the music depart- ment. 83 Sing high ..... sing low. Westminster Pops Animals u coming f i X i PHYSICS 1 muff' Dr. lames Swindler, Dr. Robert Woods This year the physics department is planning to occupy part ot the new Science Building. lt wants to develop research, and there are three fully equipped rooms just for this purpose. The unusually big store room t22' lO by 52'l will be used tor both demonstration and laboratory equipment. The demonstration table can be set up in the store room and wheeled into the lec- ture room preventing loss ot time and confusion between lectures. There is also a small lecture room to replace room 23. The objectives ot the department are to train majors tor the teaching pro- fession and prepare students for Work in engineering, industry, and graduate school. 84 The physics department has the 3-2 plan for engineers with Carnegie institute of Tech- nology, Pennsylvania State college and Lafay- ette college. The physics club was reorgan- ized this year under the guidance of Dr. Woods. The professors in the physics department are Dr. Iarnes A. Swindler and Dr. Robert M. Woods. Dr. Swindler is the oldest active mem- ber of the faculty. This year the physics department bought a Spitz Planetarium which produces stars of the third magnitude. lt has adjustments for the sun, moon, five planets, latitudes all over the earth, and co-ordinated system of ecliptic, meri- dian, and equator of the sky. lt is also capable of showing Andromeda Nebula and megelan- tic cloud plus a few others. The stars can be shown for daily motion anywhere on the earth's surface. Which wuy's progress? A little to the right! PHYSIEAL EU EATIU 1133 0 G Mi. Charles Ftidl, Miss Margaret MvBride, Mr. Grover VV'asherbaugh, Mrs. Helen Willifriiis Mr. Harold Burry All students cannot be athletic stars , but fortunately, one does not have to be a star to enjoy athletics. Westminster's Athletic department organizes its program to enable students to maintain an all-round physical and mental balance, and at the same time, learn to appreciate the enjoyment to be found in athletic pursuits. Physical education is compulsory at Westminster for freshmen and sopho- mores, but to many students, it quickly becomes more than just another subject. The head of the department is Mr. Grover Washabaugh, and under his direc- tion the other faculty members divide the departments activities. Mr, Harold Burry, specializes as a swimming instructor, Mr. Charles Ridl and Miss Margaret McBride specialize in men and Womens physical education respectively, and Mrs. Helen Williams instructs girls' hygiene classes. 86 Swimming instruction is particularly stressed for both men and women, and there is no excuse for any student leaving Westminster and not being able to swim, unless handicapped by some physical disability. Also emphasis is put on the value of life-saving knowledge, and classes are held throughout the college year, under Mr. Burry's instruction, by which students may obtain nationally recognized Red Cross qualifications in this subject. Being qualified in this way has enabled a number of Westminster students to obtain summer jobs as lifeguards at beaches, camps, and in public parks. The Physical Education department also conducts an active extra-curricula program. ln addition to the main college football, baseball, track, swimming, basketball, golf, and tennis teams, intramural sports for both men and women play an important part in student life. Women's intramural sports are sponsored by the Women's Athletic Asso- ciation CW. A. AJ. Competitions are held between the sororities and Quad- rangle in basketball, volleyball, and swimming, and a cup is awarded for the winners in each sport. Similar competitions are sponsored for the men by Inter-fraternity council. Teams from the four fraternities compete in touch football, basketball, ping-pong, and soft ball during the respective seasons. Members of the Physical Education department faculty naturally take a great interest in intramural sports organization, and they are always on hand ready to supply their expert advice when needed. Theres a time for everything . 87 SPEECH 'Q Mr. lame-s Lewis, Mr. Donald Barbe, Mr. Vlfilliam Burbick, Mr. Melvin Moorhouse. The Speech department, with its three main divisions of theater, radio, and various types of speech education, offers many extra curricula activities for student participation. Following a definite policy to give stu- dents experience of as many types of plays as possible, the Little Theater has produced four outstanding productions during the past season. The first, State of the Union , was a timely play, held to coincide with the time when we were thinking about going to the national polls. Next followed Kind Lady , and for lnternational Drama Month last March, we saw a brilliant performance of Shakespeares Hamlet , The last major production was The Silver Cord. Packed houses, and a demand for more was suffi- cient proof of the success of the ventures, and was some justification for the hard work of Mr. Donald Barbe and his assistant Mr. W. G. Burbick in the Speech department, and the students who took part. Don'l forget to do your shopping at . . . . . . . . The numerous speech honoraries have been equally active. Masquers, the campus dramatic honorary, sponsored all-college try- outs at the beginning ot the year to scout out talent to ensure the continued success ot the Little Theater. Last spring saw the birth ot a new chapter ot Alpha Psi Omega, the national dramatic fra- ternity, on Westminster's campus. lt started' The voice of CGA with an enthusiastic crowd of thirteen charter members, and promises to justify its existence just as well, if not better, than the other honor- aries. Students from 15 schools in the Tri-State area again saw what Westminster speech stu- dents do, when they attended the High School clinic sponsored each year by the department. Curtain time WRW, the radio group, produced several radio shows, and were also re- sponsible tor the public address system at basket- ball and football games. Members also partici- pated in broadcasts over WPIC Sharon and WKST New Castle. A number of beginners were introduced to this work through the Collegiate Guild ot the Air under Mr. Iames Lewis' di- rection. Mr. Melvin Moorhouses debate team created an equally good record this year. After taking part in tournaments at various colleges and universities, they were invited to take part in the national tour- nament, and came out with a very good average. 89 X X N X K XX xx f XXX X X H xx X Xi 95 W X STUDENT UHEANIZZXTIUN ELA55 UPFIEEH5 SENIUH Lawrence Verone, Patricia Knoer, Edwin Urban PHE5HMANi JUNIOR Fred Wagner, Iohn Reed, Sarah Charles Robcri Thomas Crawford, Roberi Merwin, Iames Cole Car McFarland oiyn Conners SUPHUMUHE Richard Black, Virqinia Plake, Mar- garet Edmonds, Judson McConnell X K 4 , K. ,.

P. church basement. With a membership of over 90 students, this organization has develop- ed a foreign mission, sponsored the showing of all-college Christian films on the campus, and introduced many well-known Christian leaders as Sunday evening speakers. ln March, C.

Outstanding throughout the , season was the fine passing of quarterback Dick Juniata ' ' ' Banick and the running of Carl Mantz, Torn Theil . . McGrath, and Larry Verone. Bethany H Banick completed 65 passes in 125 attempts for 1000 yards and 13 touchdowns. Mantz aver- Grove City ' ' aged 5.8 yards for 76 attempts, and McGrath in Geneva , , 55 I tries averaged 5.9 lyards, while Verone Allegheny D ' gained 226 yards in 74 tries. Starting at home against Iuniata, Westmin- waynesbmq ster won the game in the final period on touch- down passes from Banick to Mantz and Sistek. Banick threw passes for all Westminster scores. At Greenville, the Titans took a l4-7 lead at halftime, and stretched it to 28-7 at the end of the third quarter. ln winning their third straight victory over Bethany, Westminster was in com- plete command, taking a l3-0 lead in the first period and stretching it to 33-0 at the half.

Cari Mantz ied the Titan scor- ers with eight touchdowns for 48 points. Tom McGrath scored six touchdowns and Bob Sistek had 34 points on three touchdowns and 16 conversions in 22 attempts. Coach Haroid Burry, aiong with his As- sistant Coaches Ridi and George Watto, has good reason to be proud oi the season's re- cord, and feei that the hard work has been well worthwhiie. Against Grove City in the Homecoming game, the Titans had to come from behind in the 1ast quarter. Tak- ing a 7-O iead, the Biue and White te11 behind 12-7 going into the iinai quarter. A Banick to McGrath pass won the game tor the Titans 14-12. Geneva coiiege proved a stubborn opponent on the home tieid, the iinai score being 7-O tor the Titans, in the finai home game, Waynesburg dropped West- minster trom the ranks oi the unbeaten, and the iinai score was 35-27 in Waynesburg's favor. Back on the winning trai1 at Meadviiie, the Titans buiit up an early iead and coasted to a 26-20 win over the Cra- tors. Cari Mantz scored three touchdowns. Siippery Rock maintained their 17-year iinx over West- minster by beating them 14-5 in the seasons tinaie. The Biue and White took a 6-O iead, but the Rockets came back strong in the second halt to win the game. Coach Harold Burry tcenterb with Assistant Coach George Watto tiefti and Charies Ridi Crighti BASKETBALL The past year was a hard pull for the Titans basketball team, but to the credit of the men and their coach, is the fact that they never lost their fighting spirit. This was so much evident when they played at Madison Square Garden on February l2, that they merited the praise of several New York sports writers. Opinion of the gentlemen of the press was that the Ti- tans were the best small college to appear in the Gardens during the year. Although defeated in their first two games, against St. Bonaventure and the Pitt Panthers, the Blue and White rallied in their third game against Bethany at home, and in a thrilling game, defeated the West Virginians 76-73. Neff was high for the evening with 26. Tranter had l9, and Bob Hettler for the visitors also had 19. Another close game followed against St. Francis on December 16. Westminster had the highest scorer of the evening in Ierry Neff with 22, but in the final result the Loretto men led by two points. The game just prior to Christmas vacation proved a victory for the Titans against Carnegie Tech. Westminster maintained big leads at the end of each quarter, and at one time in the last period was ahead by 15. The Blue and White's Ron Tranter tied with Tech's Ralph Mocker for scoring honors, each player having 21. Another high scorer for the Titans was Bob Dugan with l7. The Presidents defeated Westminster in the first game of the New Year, scoring 72 against 54. But it was a good game, and com- mentators agreed that there was good play on both sides. Terry Neff and Ioe Richards of W. 51. each had l7 points. First Row: Robert Iones, Donald Reed, Lewis Cooper, Thomas Schrecengo:t, Robert Dugan, Gerald Neff, Ronald Tranter, Richard Black, lim Brill.

A score of 20 points by Bob Burns topped scoring levels. lerry Neff, Bon Tranter, and Dick Black had respective scores of l9, l7, and lil, for the Titans. Another victory followed for Westminster at the Memorial Field l-louse. Then, in an over- time thriller, the Titans revenged themselves on W. QS I., and took the Prexies in the extra ses- sion, 59-58. Westminster's Bon Tranter scored a high of 21 points. The remainder of the season was a series of wins and losses. After being upset by Alle- gheny 'Gators on lanuary l3, the Titans brought their record back to .500 on lanuary l7 by de- feating Youngstown Penguins 75-72. Three more losses followed, but they came back again in the last game before finals, and came out ovef Maryland St. college of Princess Anne, Md. 72-67. After two more victories for opponents, Westminster made their be-st appearance of the season at Madison Square Gardens. There they played nip and tuck with the Bedrnen the whole game. With less than a minute remaining, Westminster led 88-87, but a jump shot frovn the Bedmen's Marty Satalino gave them the game. The Titans' Bon Tranter was the games high scorer with 23 points. After another loss, the Blue and White in- flicted a second defeat of the season on Youngs- town Penguins. This was a thrilling double overtime contest with the final score 98-85. lit!

Alpha Gamma Delta has extended the right hand ot fellowship for another year of work and play. Our first social event was a Mexican houseparty atter Homecoming week-end. Laura Russell was our Queen can- didate. The all-sorority Halloween party rounded out the Gctober activities. A snowball tight between actives and pledges began the pre-Christmas events. We slumbered at the house De- cember 5 in honor ot the pledges, and then decorated our Christmas tree for the last house party of l952. Back for 1953, the girls worked on plans for a children's party, and tor the traditional competition of Sing and Swing. Friday February l3 was a big night for us. We had our all- college dance. The Alpha Gams were a busy group this year.

This year the Beta Sigs took the cup with the help of a Block W puppet and a co-ed puppet holding a sign saying, We don't have to pull any strings to wel- come you back, Alumni . Barbie Dohn was the girls' candidate for Homecom- ing Oueen. Autumn was the theme for the Octo- ber house party, and the one in Decem- ber featured a South Sea lsland back- ground and sarongs for Christmas on Christmas Island . Also in December there was a slumber party for the actives and the twenty-one pledges. The pledges also held a tea for the fraternity pledges in December. The first semes- ter ended in style with the sorority's informal dinner-dance at CrisWell's. Angels? I'm starved! Spring activities included a house party given by the pledges in March, an intersorority ice cream social in honor of the seniors, and daily rehearsals for Sing and Swing. The Spring Formal on May 15, and the picnic on the l6th, climaxed the year's social events. Officers for 1952-1953 Were: president, Bar- bara Spencery vice president, Nancy Wiggins, treasurer, Marilyn Easthamg secretary, Kathleen McBride. Beta Gamma chapter of Beta Sigma Omi- cron was initiated at Westminster on May 25, l937.

Many ot Mother Goose's children came out of Storylandu to be with us for Homecom- ing. Every member had a hand in the painting tivities. Our October houseparty was The Stork Club . Colored streamers, candlelight, and the ot nursery rhyme characters for our storybook, and turning the pages for our readers.

Entertaining by our annual all-sorority breakfast certainly was a tasty idea. Blueberry pancakes and hot coffee are always sure to make a hit. Our Sherwood Forest party for freshman women brought seventeen more members to Robin Hood's band, and to ours as well. After their pledging ceremonies, we had dinner at the Tavern, The first week-end after Thanksgiving was the event we wait for every year-the slum- ber party. After eating, singing, and other entertainment, we finally did manage to get a few hours sleep before those dread- ed eight o'clocks. Other activities of the Chi Omegas' throughout the year were Sing and Swing, and the dinner dance in May.

Kadie, a brown French poodle complete with kinky hair, moveable eyes, and a hungry look, took possession of the Kappa Delta house during Homecoming. A sign advertised the sorority's sentiment toward the Alumnie'- No Bones About lt! We're Doggone Glad You're Here. The KD's had another reason to be glad. Mary Armstrong was chosen Homecoming Queen. Sorority Fall activities included a weiner roast for the members and their dates at Barbe's, the Koiiee Kozy, and all-sororities get-together, a spaghetti dinner at Barbe's in honor of the 14 new pledgesp and a new innovation, the pledge dance, which formally introduced the pledges to Kappa Delta members and their friends. Dorothy Veon, Privince President, visited the chapter during December. Wanting to share their good fortune, Kappa Delta members sent a Christmas box to their orphan in France. ln the spring, they enter- tained children from Mercer Co. Children's Home. ln March the pledges held a surprise party for the actives. True to tradition, the party re- mained a secret until the eventful night. Sugar cmd Cream?

First came the Autumn week-end with its Homecoming decorations. The girls worked hard on their theme, The Titan Train That Could , and did pull the Westminster Eleven to victory. Dixie Walker was our candidate tor Homecoming Queen. The tirst houseparty oi the year was a weiner roast in the college woods. Afterwards, the Sigma's and their dates returned tor dancing and hot chocolate at the house, which was de- corated with lack-C-Lanterns and corn stalks, ln November, at a Tavern dinner, Sigma Kappa welcomed l7 new pledges. Lila lones, Province President, attended the pledging cere- monies. 1 mv- l32 T Nfxex ix X45-,,...f--.1 The weather outside is frightiul December was the highlight of 1952. Cn the fifth, a Slumber Party was held for both actives and pledges. Pledges provided the en- tertainment. An inter-sorority card pary was given by Sigma's on De- cember ll. Also during this month they enjoyed the Christmas party given by the patronesses. The New Year saw even more ac- tivities. In Ianuary the pledges had charge of a house party which was a great success. Then the Sigma's be- gan to practice diligently for Sing and Swing. The Spring formal at the New Castle country club climaxed the year's activities. The l952 officers were Dorothy Alexander, President, lean Gresh, first Vice President, Margaret Sny- der, second Vice President, Gretchen Speidel, Secretary, and Dixie Wal- ker, Treasurer. Sigma Phi Delta, later known as Sigma Kappa, was founded on Octo- ber 26, l922, at Westminster by seven girls under the leadership of Rebecca Givson. The sorority originated as a scholarship organization. ln l926, the local group became Alpha Sig- ma of Sigma Kappa. This is the old- est sorority on campus, and was the fifth national to bear a Greek name.

The Republican elephant and Democrat Donkey made the headlines with a unifical Welcome Home Alumni! Phyllis George was candidate for Homecom- ing Queen. The first houseparty found the Theta U's and their dates pulling charred weiners and gooey marsh- mallows from the fire at Mr. Moore- house's farm. Rushing was climaxed with an elaborate Indian pow-wow. Ten new pledges entertained the actives at a slumber party in December, and they in turn were honored at the Christmas party. The chapter paid tribute to our patronesses, and introduced them to our pledges at a tea given late in December. Many new recipes were tried out this year due to the two new attrac- tions in the kitchen, namely a refrig- erator and a stove. An all-sorority Donut Dunk at the house and participation in volley- ball, basketball, and swimming intra- murals kept the members busy until spring when plans for Sing and Swing and the Spring Formal came into the spotlight. Officers in 1952 were Beverly Mergner, president, Nancy Angrilli, vice president: Marilyn Marshall, secretaryg and Shirley Oakley, treas- urer. Q.

We also covered the steps leading to the second floor with rubber tile. As soon as we had finished redecorating we found Homecoming upon us. The house was soon found to be a mass of cardboard and paint, and from this mass we created our prize winning theme of The Steamrollers Ball . We created a scale model steamroller on the lawn, complete with steam and motion, knocking down the goal posts of Grove City. At the con- trols of the steamroller sat a Titan football play- er. This made it the second year in a row we have won Homecoming decorations. Our social calendar was quite full this year. We transformed our house into a speakeasy for our Roaring Twentiesn houseparty, and fol- lowing it in November the house became a hunting lodge for our Hunting houseparty. l39 Late in the fall we held our serenade for our brothers who became pinned, and soon after it we held our annual Christmas serenade to all the dorms and sorority houses. ln November we purchased a new TV set for the house, and to help celebrate the new TV set we took in thirty new pledges. We held our Christmas formal this year at the Ellwood City Country Club and later on in the spring we held our Spring Formal in Pitts- burgh. Also in the spring we participated in Sing and Swing. Officers during the year were Ron Watkins, president: Glenn Morris, vice presidentg Ed Lid- dell, secretaryp lim Cole, treasurer.

I44 Sigma Phi Epsilon, Westminster's oldest fraternity, was organized in l854, just two years after the founding of the college. lt was first known as Pi Rho Phi, also as the Cross of the Hearts. In 1869, the local organization was af- filiated with Delta Tau Delta, but lost its charter when the entire chapter was abolished by the college. It existed sub-rosa until l923 when it re- ceived the Theta Upsilon charter. ln l938, this organization received national affiliation as the Lambda chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon. During the past year, the Sig Ep's enjoyed a well-rounded social calendar. Many attended the monthly house parties, and one of the most memorable events of the social year was the annual Christmas dance held at Shannopin country club in Pittsburgh. Other events in- cluded numerous Mother's club meetings and What a dog's life! alumni gatherings. The Spring formal and the annual picnic in May completed the social year. ln athletics this year, the Sig Ep's entered teams in the intramural football, basketball, and baseball leagues. And they were especially active in the pre-season and post-season bas- ketball tournaments. The climax of the rushing season in Novem- ber, found the fraternity with 39 new pledges. Pledgemasters Harry Sampson and Fred Suppes helped the group undertake the re- modeling and painting of the house. The downstairs lounge was dedicated to the mem- ory of Fred George and Ierry Sybert. Officers for 1952 were, Edwin Urbin, presi- dent, Herbert Porter, vice president, Iames Bow- ser, secretary, and Thomas Specker, treasurer. 5-Xrxwwixwfveffa'friAvivffX1f:XXSXvtXXfXfWtXXXfXfXX5 XfriwfS:XXXw-:XXXYxrX2-X-XssfX:-xiyssfsXX-XXX XX E. , 1.

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 lite are a vital part ot a college education and teach something that cannot he found in hooks- the art ot living and working harmoniously with all types of people.

A Fraternity does more than throw novel house parties and formals, compete for trophies, and serenade girls' dormitories. These activities play a large part in college living, but the bene- fits gained from participating in fraternity activities plays a larger part in life as college days are left behind.

P. news machine can tick away without fear of its releases becoming en- tangled with Argo proofs fluttering from the window sill, which during the past six months has been this publication's main office. As with its predecessors, a number of people have contributed to make the publication of this book an accomplished fact. Deserving of special mention is Dr. Amy Charles of the English department. She came to the rescue when a crisis hit the Argo staff photography department, and many of the photographs throughout the book are examples of this one of her many talents. As it is so often normal to find Miss Elizabeth Nixon's name coupled with that of Dr. Charles, here is no exception. Miss Nixon, as advisor, has given valuable as- sistance in direction and advice on technical details. With regard to professional people, taking them in the order in which their work was done. Thanks are due to Bill Abey and Harry Ford of Abey Studios for many excellent pictures. To Mrs. Helen Dougherty of Northern Engraving and Electrotype Company I say thank you for the patience she showed, and the advice she gave. And similarly, to Mr. Walter L. Wyant of Kurtz Bros., our printers. His work came last, but certainly not least, and his advice was always to the point. Many members of the faculty and staff, and students of all departments have been most patient in answering innumerable questions, and heeding many unusual requests. Also, appreciation is due to Mr. Ioseph Friedheim and his staff at Iamieson Memorial Hospital, New Castle, and to Mrs. Morrison the hospital's educational director. To the Argo staff I say thank you. Especially do I appreciate the work done by George Benaman as advertising manager, Margaret Iones as associate editor, and Patricia Rinesmith and Iames Anderson for the work they did. Ianice Slemons and Clarissa Fuller did not join the staff until later, but they proved they had a place there, and helped considerably with the typing. Now The Argo 1954 stands at the end of the long line of Argos. which place it will hold until joined next year by The Argo 1955.
