Preface Someone said that the Htrouble with most college annuals is that they are just college annualsf An annual gathering of odds and ends of the year composed by a few to reflect the year. A few this year have endeavored to report in a clear, concise man- ner all phases of Westminster and the body of students that gives to the college its magnanimity. As each page is turned let that page serve as a key to open the door to more memories of Westminster in 1949. Co-Editors . . . , . . . . . BOB LOWARY BOB IV'ICBEE Business Manager . . . . . . jOE ML'LLIN ngicatfmn DR. DANIEL SHAW GAGE We feel that it is an honor to dedicate this annual to one who has given over fifty years of service to Westminster College. This year, after his retirement, we realize more than ever what he means to Westminster. He is as much a part of Westminster as her own traditions His Christian character, his brilliant mind, and his untiring devotion to his work have made every student love and admire him. It is with grateful appreciation and highest respect that we dedicate this 1949 Blue Jay to Dr. Daniel Shaw Cage, iwgwxx R J L, L A H W M VILLIA K wawfmwyb r 3$;, s. $13 M 4m vwh .

Anyone delving deeper into the held than analytical geometry is welcome to join and discuss mathematical oddities, fallacies, problems, and such that time does not permit to be taken up in the regular courses.

Due to the failure of the Honor System to pass the students vote, the functions of the Council were greatly lessened, However, a new constitu- tion was drawn up which more clearly outlined the Councils duties. A few of the changes brought about by the new constitution were uniformity in election of Student Council mem- bers, placing the election of the publications heads in the hands of the Council, and changing the method of nominations for Student Body and Class officers Another group of the Council that was active this year was the Student-Faeulty Senate which met periodically in the home of President Hall. Composed of members of both the Coun- cil and Faculty, this group openly discussed campus problems and was helpful in bringing a better understanding between the two groups Besides the allocation of funds to the various activities of the campus and the sponsoring of an ali-school dance, the Council instigated the present system of unlimited cuts now known as the Carelton Plan This years Council has been ably directed by john Cummins, President; Bill Burton, Vice-President; Bill Frick, Secretary-Treasurer; Bill Duncan, Sergeant-at-Arms; and A1 Diefendorf, who replaced Duncan after his graduation in January.

Guard JOE FRAKES Captain The Blue jays opened their 1948-49 season by dropping a 51-31 decision to a taller War- rensburg Eve. The local boys proved their resiliency by bouncing back to humble jefferson City Junior College, 39-33. Captain Joe Frakes led the way with ten points. Hampered by lack of height, they completed their pre-Christmas schedule with only two victories in six tries. After losing three straight conference games to Drury, Culver-Stockton, arid Tarkio, the hoopsters countered with a well-eamed 46-33 triumph over heavin-favored William Jewell. Dudy Frisina took single game scoring honors with 24 against Tarkio. Other conference wins were recorded against Tarkio, 58-55, and Wi11iam jewell, 29-26, in the homecoming fracus. The cagers best home game, however, was a one-point loss to the eventuaI champions, Missouri Valley. The Hilltoppers held a 25-18 half-time lead, increased it to 40-28 with five minutes remaining, but a prolonged stall failed and they succumbed 47-46. Dudy Frisina led the season scoring with 174 tal1ies. He was closely followed by Dick Ferrel with 162. Geitz and Frakes hit 149 and 143, respectively.

In September, 1948, the Club, more centralized than ever before, moved into Barrack No, 1. Realizing that its name was no longer descriptive of the organiza- tion, the Town Club came to a proud but official end in February, 1949, when the fraternity changed its name to Delta Alpha Phi. The aim of the change was to establish a strong local Greek letter fraternity at Westminster, The past year was an active and memorable period for the members of Delta Alpha Phit Under the leadership of Presidents johnson and Hupp, not only has the group acquired new living quarters and a new name, but it also has instituted a pledging system for new members. The 45 members enjoyed an intensive social schedule featured by the Christmas and Spring Formals. A majority of the members battled for the fraternity in the intramural scramble with the softball, swimming and bowling teams distinguishing themselves.

This climaxed many months of extensive petitioning by the group. The formal installation which took place in April will long live in the history of Westminster as a great honor and achievement, both for the college and for the Gamma Sigma Society. Even though the greatest effort was put forth in the attainment of a Charter, the Chapterhs social functions, athletic contests and scholarship were also emphasized to a high degree. The present ofheers are: Ted hVetterau, President; Robert Longstreet, Vice-President; Robert Barner, Recorder; Kenneth Kaufman, Correspondent; Rodney Smith, Treasurer. Professor Kenneth Hansen was chosen faculty advisor early in the school year.

After pledging twelve men at the end of rush week the chapter continued its outstanding athletics, social, and scho- lastic program which was begun when Tau Sig was founded in 1947. Officially starting off the social calendar for the year was the successful pledge formal. Continuing a close association with the Sigma Chi Fraternity, of which Tau Sig is a petitioning body, the Tau Sigs played, at the culmination of the intramural basketball season, a post- season game with the iVIissouri University Sigma Chi Chapter. Although the athletic part Of the meeting was not successful as far as Tau Sig was concerned, the social aspect afterwards was highly enjoyed. Soon afterwards Tau Sig once more entertained; this time the chapter played a softball game with the Sigma Chi's at Washington U. In the latter part of Nlay the last formal, the Spring formal, was held. Chapter ofhcers for the year were: jack Ryan, President; Paul Rea. Vice-President; joe Belich and Milbum Hobson.

The college has supported in fme spirit the fraternity as an integral part of campus life. As a consequence, the Scots will have a dormitory with entertainment facilities at the beginning of the school year in September, 1949. Plans are now taking form so that when we assume responsibilities in the fall, the president will have a well organized and coordinated committee structure to handle house supervision; provide for a well-rounded social program; and actively take part in general campus activities in conjunction with the other social organizations at Westminster Seated deft Io righo: SHERMAN, HORTON, BLACKLIDCE, BRIDGEMAN, WESNER Standing: NTIDOUHAS, COOPER, DLVLANEY, LAWRENCE, MAY Page 108 WILLIAM WOODS A LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGE FOR WOMEA FOUNDED 1890 FULTON, MISSOURI Page 109 LA CROSSE LUMBER CO.
