President In February, 1948, Westminster College not only heralded the arrival of the Spring semester to the campus but also the arrival of Dr. William W. Hall, Jr., as the fourteenth President of Westminster College. Dr. Hall comes to Westminster from the College of Idaho where he had held the Presidency for eight years. Although President Hall has only been on campus a short time he has won the respect of the student body and we hope that his stay at Westminster will be both long and successful. Page 7 CHARLES WALLACE MCKENZIE Dean Charles W. McKenzie was appointed Dean of Westminster College by the Board of Trustees last Spring. Since that time, Mr. McKenzie has served ably and well in this capacity. As Head of the Political Science Department and having received his BA. Degree from Dartmouth and his M.A. from Columbia, Dean McKenzie teaches Political Science courses in addition to his duties as Dean. He is active in Student Government activities and as Moder- ator for the Student Body he has become a familiar figure to all. Page 8 JOE BOYD HUMPHREYS Assistant to President CLARENCE C.

This honorary scouting society, chartered by the national council of the Boy Scouts of America, was founded at Lafayette Col- lege in 1925 by thirteen undergraduates. It wants to assemble college and university men into the spirit of the scout oath and law and promote service to American youth. It is generally known as a service society and its membership is granted only to those who have previously been affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America. There are a total of over seventy-hve active chapters and over 4,000 members in colleges and universities today. The badge is a key formed. by three equilateral triangles of blue, superimposed on a shield of gold bearing a rising sun sur- rounded by a circle. The Greek letters are placed in gold on each trialigle. The Beta Xi Chapter was established at Westminster 011 December 4, 1938, with thirty students and Professors Alexander, Mitchell, Tidwell, and the late Dean Sweazey as its charter members. 1f! plm Psi Omega Front row, left lo right: GREEN, DENNIS, LOWARY, DAlmE, WHITE Second raw: KOENIG, McLEAN, PITTS, HINSEY The Alpha Epsilon cast of Alpha Psi Omega, the national honorary dramatic fraternity, was left pretty well depleted last Spring When its three major members graduated leaving three brand new members, Bquington, Lowary, and Dizney, to carry the chapter duties. The three new members got together and With the aid of a little coin flipping ttelectedh the ofTicers for 1947-48. They were: Jim Buffington, President; Bob Lowary, Vice-Presidenl, and Bill Dizney, Secretary-Treasurer. New blood was added to the group when ten men became eligible for membership. Those initiated were: Pitts, Markham, Hinsey, Dennis, Lindsey, Green, White, McLean, Darre, Koenig. Membership in the organization requires participation in two major or three minor roles. Stage work, directing, or other 11011-aeting stage concerned work applies toward membership. Alpha Psi Omega provided the direction staffs for the two J abberwoeky productions this year and also sponsored jointly with Jabberwocky the idea of an annual campus variety show.

PHILLIPS, FITES Those shifty-eyed young men are known collectively as Authors Anon. Under the thin pretext of expressing reverence for the written word, they meet twice a month and hurl persiflage, one at the other. The expressed purpose of the members of this organization is to write. At each meeting, the highly literary chef dioeuvres are collected, read and thrown to the dogs tin a manner of speaking. The criticisms are frequently piercing, valid, trenchant, and inconsequential. It has been suggested that fewer members would show up for meetings if it weren,t for the excellent refreshments usually provided by Mrs. Randolph or Mrs. Katope. This is idle slander. The boys love to write, love to criticizeithose Danish pastries do make it easier though.

FLEECE Front row, left 10 right: MINTZ, BUHL, PFEFFER, BAUCH Second row: MULLIN, WALLACE, HARDING The Chi Alpha Omega Fraternity has been re-established 0n the campus this year for pre-ministerial students. The fraternity is active on a number of cam- puses in the midwest, but it was disbanded at Westminster during the war. All students who have chosen the ministry as their vocation and are taking their pre-theologic courses here are members. The members are active in the religious life of the college and 0f the com- munity. Some of the students fill pulpits in nearby country churches as student pastors. Bill Pfeffer is president of the group and Dr. John A. Gates is faCulty advisor. Page 50 T126 Columns Front row, left to right: LOWABY, HOEVEL, MINTz, MULLINS, REICHMAN, Mn. FLEECE Second row: PARSONS, HARRIS, LAWSON, MATHIS, SMITH, BAUER, OPEL, F OSTER The story-book glamour of deadlines, copy, clanking typewriters, and a busy newsroom, do not necessarily apply to Westminsteris own bi-monthly campus newspaper, The Columns. However, this periodical has endeavored to bring the student body the happenings, and news and scoops around the Hill during the past year. Under the able but worried Editorship of Arnold Mintz, the paper has been developed by a well-knit staff that has worked hard and faithfully to put Out a publication of the students, for the students and by the students. Bob Lowary, as Associate Editor, has run the early morning errands from the Hill to the Sun-Gazette office, Where The Columns has been printed this year. Chet Hoevel and later Dean Weeks have kept track of finances as business managers. J eff Fleece has added his well-known sharpster wit on occasions as faculty adviser.

PETREQUIN The Westminster Glee Club, again under the direction of Mr. Kenneth H. Hansen taffec- tionately called Kenny by the members of the club, has had an outstanding year. Being in constant demand both by the school and the City of Fulton, they have rendered many notable concerts. Besides the many chapel appearances, they have given, in collaboration with the William Woods Choir, the annual Christmas VeSpers at Swope Chapel, and provided the back- bone for the Kiwanis Minstrel Show. As one of the schoolts best advertising agencies, a spring tour is planned Which Will take the club to South Missouri, Oklahoma, and the cities of St. Louis and Kansas City . . . . sorry, men, the trip to Afghanistan fell through!!! Due to Circumstances beyond student control, there is no academic credit given for the great amount of work involved. Mrs. Nan Statton, intimately known as ttCleolaf is the able accompanist and chief critic of the club. Carl tItve got obligationst Pitts is the assistant director, and the solo work has been done by Jack Bullock, John Cannon, Bill Pfefl'er, and Curt Wallace.

The organization was encouraged and ably assisted by some of the faculty members. Dr. Knight, head of the History Department, continues to be the official sponsor. His competent advice has helped the group in their work very much. The first part of the years work was directed by William Sewell as President; John Cum- mins, Vice-President; and David Crawley as Secretary-Treasurer. At mid-year elections, David Crawley became the new President; John Adams, ViceePresi- dent, and William Klotzbach, Secretary-Treasurer. Besides the trips to regional conferences, the group enjoyed regular meetings With distin- guished guest speakers and informal discussions on International Affairs.

This organization was founded on the campus in 1926. Its aim was and is to pro- mote dramatic appreciation and activity among the student body. This year for the first time since before the war, Jabberwocky produced two shows of its own. The first production was the campus variety show, NOperation Xf, which was presented last Fall. This show was 'written, staged, directed, and acted by the members of Jabberwocky. The proceeds of this show gave the organization its first working treasury in many a year. This Spring the club presented the Kaufman and Hart comedy, iiYou Canit Take It With You? This play was presented in the William Woods College Auditorium. In keeping with the usual custom, Jabberwocky provided the male dramatic talent for the two Campus Player productions at William Woods, ttClaudiaii and ttOur Town? Under the able presidency of Bob Lowary, the club has moved forward into the limelight, as an active campus organization, and it has endeavored to increase school spirit through the shows and looks forward to bigger and better years to come. Jim Bufiington has served as Vice- President of the club this year and Dale Haxtou has been Secretary-Treasurer. Page 55 Front row, left to right: HARTMAN, KLANG, RHODES, PIERCE, SPAKE, Mn.

This desire materialized at mid-semester when, due to popular demand, Dr. Felix Sharton, head of the German department, a composer and musicologist, consented to sponsor such an organization.

Since that date another national fraternity has come to the campus: Delta Tau Delta, which has been a mem- ber for a number of years. This year the council has seven organizations represented. The three new ones are: Tau Sigma Tau, Gamma Sigma, and Phi Chi, who are all pelitioning national fraternities. The council was established largely L0 promote inler-fraternily harmony among the fra- ternities 0n the campus. The duties of the council consist of making and enforcing rushing rules, ironing out the small differences which may arise between the various member groups, governing interfraiernity relationships and promoting good-will among the houses.

The tests are administered during the free moments of the several students. This study is entirely voluntary and appears to be a rapidly advancing group, as the enrollment has increased almost 150 per cent since the initiation of the testing program. Results from the tests and the conferences with Dr. Alexander help determine more accu- rately the field of work or interest in Which one is best suited. This is the first year that these lesls have been oH'ered lo the men of Westminster, and the interest in such a project has been heartily endorsed by those men who have taken advantage of the program. The complete course is arranged to cover one semester.

The house athletic teams are always to he found at the top, and many of the varsity men wear Highlander pins. The Original organizers of the Dorm Club can well be proud of the men who took over their organization. Early last fall the Highlanders started something new on campus. Each week the club entertained one of the halls from William Woods at an informal reception. This continued until all the halls on the tiWoods campus had been entertained. It was the first time anything like this had been done on our campus, and turned out to be a great Success. Later in the year the annual Harvest Party was held, and will not soon be forgotten. At Christmas formal time the house ranked high in a contest for the best house decorations, and at Homecoming a cup was awarded the Highlander House fer the best outside display.

David White, James Cobb, and Warren Slice, five members of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. These men formed the nheleus of a petitioning body of Sigma Chi. The ultimate goal of the members of Tau Sigma Tau is the acquisition of a charter from the Sigma Chi Fraternity, and they have endeavored to maintain its standards and ideals in order to be worthy of a Charter. Tau Sigma Tau is occupying one of the twenty-six-man annexes at the present time and have decorated the interior of the building, so that the rooms compare favorably With any on the campus. The Christmas Formal was held in the newly-decorated lounge. We also had a pledge for- mal, given jcintly with the Gamma Sigma Society and the Phi Chi Club. Tau Sigma Tau has also emphasized scholarship and athletics as well as the social aspect. The oHicers for this spring semester are: iarl G. Stanza, Consul; John B. Ryan, Pro- Ccnsul; Paul C. Rea, Quaestor; and Joseph L. Belich, Annotator.

The social calendar Which was mostly made up of vie dances and hay rides, was highlighted by the Christmas formal. Foremost among future plans is to provide a much more active social life for Town Club men. The club went through a reorganizational period last year as 1947 marked the reactivation of the organization 011 campus and many problems had to be ironed out. Officers for Town Club this year have been: Theiling, Pres.; McIntosh, V. Pres.; Moore, See; Horel, Treas.
