Many words could be written about the trials and tribulations we have encountered, but that isn't necessary. I would like to thank the following people for the help they gave both to me and to the staff : Chuck Gusewelle and his Columns staff, Ann Sandin, Joe Humphreys, Mr. Seward, Mr. Bassman, and the pledges from the Delt, Beta, and Phi Delt houses that so eagerly offered their aid.

At that time and from then on Editor Sheldon Crossette and Business Manager Jim Callis were seen running over campus directing this and that group to activity for the Blue .lay cause. Chief past year for future recollections, actually began to formulate last summer, but it was Freshman photo taker Herb Roy became a familiar sight trodding around half dazed snapping the various activities. The people that drove the editor, business manager, and photographer to say extra strong prayers each and every night were the departmental editors that have helped to make this book possible. These worthy gentlemen were: Charlie Schwend, activities, Wally Busch, studentg Jim Whitney, featuresg Jerry Gustafson, sports, and Dick Soell, both faculty and fraternity. G Chemistry Club The chemistry club this year was sponsored by Dr. McCreigh't and Dr. Hackney. A meeting was held early in the year and Dan Murphy was elected president. The purpose of the chemistry club is to have instruction as well as entertaining meetings. The plan this year was to have a person, appointed ahead of time, to give a demonstration at each meeting. Some of the demon- strations were very interesting, especially the ones by Dr. McCreight and Dr. Hackney. The club had a very successful year and has hopes of increasing its membership next year. Chi Alpha Omega Chi Alpha is a pre-ministerial Christian service fraternity and its function is to bring pre- ministerial Christian service students on the campus closer together, thereby enabling them to share their knowledge and experiences. The meetings were led by our president Don Gish. The organization meets monthly. This group had several visiting speakers among whom Were: Dean Slaughter and Rev. Olert. The faculty advisors for the group are Dr John Gates and Dr Henry Niles I gg 30 7-YQ , 'V ug. 'CL' 'Q MJ. ft if ,J XJ L Top: BLUE JM'-Frorzl Row: Duke. Snell.

Composed of about thirty men, the glee club sang for various events and also took part in some chapel programs. One of the highlights of the year, as in every year, was the joint Christmas Vesper Service given with the William Woods Glee Club. This year the main event for which the glee club strived for and attained was the three-day tour to Saint Joseph, Kansas City, Sedalia, and Cali- fornia, Missouri. The glee club also participated in the Kiwanis Minstrel Show, sang for the Kiwanis luncheon and the Fulton High School. The officers of the glee club were: President, George Cobleg Vice-President, Phil Carr, Secretary, Owen Fonkalsrudg and business manager, Dale Hartig.

Chief among these rs that the paper appeared Cfor better or worsej more times than in several preceding years. Two of these rssues were ol' the six-page variety. While not always succeeding completely, the staff tlrrs year has made an honest attempt to adhere to the standards of objec- tivity rn the news-a standard difficult to observe strictly in most college situations. Contrary to the standard picture of' the ideal journalist, we soon lost our affinity for hunching over typewrrters far' into the a.m., smoking countless packs ol' cigarettes, and Walking in the rain nr nondescrrpt hats and black trench coats. ' More time, ,actually, was spent playing than working-the outcome being a sheet which we enjoyed tolling .over and which we hope Crl you could crack the barrier of' typographical errorsj you enjoyed reading.

It was founded on November 27 , 1939, composed of third generation men to Westminster. Their duties are to participate as ushers at commencement, Christmas Vespers, addresses by prominent speakers, Green Lectures, and the installation of fraternity chapters. This society is one of the many traditions that Westminster holds in high esteem, chiefly because it is a strong link between the students of today and the college men of yesteryear. INTER-FRATERNITY COUNCIL-Front Row: McKinney, T. Callis, Filling, Brown Second Row: Gish, Orton, Maxwell, Schultz, Berger International Relations Club D Renewed student interest in foreign affairs this year increased the membership of the Inter- national Relations Club and produced several interesting programs. The highlights of the student programs were given by George Elliott on Pied China, Al Burgess on Kenya Land of the Mau Mau, and Jim Whitney's Crises in the French Governmentf' During February Dr. David March, our advisor, and a delegation of four men journeyed to Park College for the regional I.R.C. meeting. At the conference Sheldon Crossette was chosen the president of the region and Scott Elliott the secretary. The conference for next year will be held on the Westminster campus sometime in the spring. The officers for the past year have been: Sheldon Crossette, presidentg Jack Swan, vice- presidentg and Mike Tchoukaleff, secretary-treasurer. Page 34 HEREDITAR1' MARSHALS: Fowler, Vaughn, Buckner Inter-Fraternity Council The Inter-Fraternity Council serves a dual purpose. Besides acting on matters concerning the organizations individually and as a group, it also serves as a liason between the administration and the student body. Since the presidents of the eight social organizations are members of both the Inter-Fraternity Council and the Student Council, the latter function is carried out with exceptional effectiveness. Campus unity and a mutual purpose for Westminster and the fraternities are the primary goals of the Inter-Fraternity Council. The Council continually strives to give its full cooperation to the College in all its activities. Throughout the year the Council members have displayed a keen understanding of fraternal living, and their conscientious endeavors have taken commanding strides in campus leadership. This leadership is particularly evident at the beginning of each semester when the newly arrived rushees are greeted by a formal rush week. Typical of the many activities of the Council is the Freshman Handbook, which is designed to acquaint the prospective fraternity man with Westminster, its traditions, and the fraternities.

The first play, Angel Street, a tragedy, in which Gene Boucher and Stan Zydlo were starred. The second play, Personal Appearancef, a comedy, related to a romantic scene in the life ol' a successful movie actress, starred Trig Callie, Jack Francis, Ken Kiester, and Pete McCloud. The third and final play ofthe year, Lady Windemere's Fanf, a comedy concerning the English society during the early 1900's, starred Francis Statton, Jack Francis, Dave Baue, Joe Crawley, Ken Kiester, and Adrian Carl. Bill Lawyer did an excellent job on lights this year While other members of Jabberwocky actively worked in putting up and taking down the scenery. ' Next year Jabberwocky, under the very capable direction of Mr. Herb Joys, again plans to participate in presenting a varied selection of entertainment for the students. PHI ALPHA T HETA-Fronl Row: Dr. March, Dean Knight, Mr. Dahl Second Row: Mooneyham, Barry, Swan. Absent, Crossette Pi Delta Epsilon Pi Delta Epsilon is the national honorary collegiate journalism fraternity at Westminster. Since its installation in April, 1951, the goal of the fraternity has been to encourage participation and interest in the college publications. Members of the organization are selected because of service to the college, through work on the publications. Although the Westminster chapter of Pi Delta Epsilon is new, it is striving, under the able guidance of Dr. William W. Bleifuss, to arouse journalistic interest on the campus. Plans are being made to conduct a journalism clinic for all freshmen who show interest in the campus publications, with a desire to give further aid to the journalistic achievements of the college. Other programs of journalistic and literary nature are also considered yearly by the fraternity. Officers of the chapter were Tom Davis president John Woodyaid V106 president Sheldon Crossette secretary Charles Gusewelle treasurer and Chuck Schwend sergeant at aims I 2636 ' . . . .

Thus it is one of the smallest and youngest groups on the campus. The requirements for initiation are as follows: Junior class standing, a BH average in all sub- jects, and twelve hours of history with an average of ninety. The highlight of this year's fraternity activity was a luncheon in the spring, at which time Dr. William A. Settle of the Department of History at Tulsa University gave an address on Ozark Folklore. This year the fraternity purchased a plaque on which the names of all members and future members will he placed as an honor roll of Phi Alpha Theta.

The meetings of li l this organization usually consist of an hour of classical selections from the school's record library. . Accompanying each selection are brief impromptu and informative remarks by Dr. Sharton. I Membership is open to the student body and all are encouraged to attend the meetings and if he so desires to bring along his own favorite records. Phi Rho Epsilon 1 The year 1953-54 was one of the most outstanding years of Phi Rho Epsilon since its founding i on the campus in 1934. The membership, consisting of 21 active members, is one of the largest in the history of the organization. To qualify for membership into this organization a student must have at least a junior standing, be a biology major, have taken a course in comparative anatomy, and have a general scholastic average of at least 88. Phi Rho, as it is popularly known, meets every other Thursday to read and discuss papers prepared by the members on some subject in the field of biology. These meetings are most if valuable and act as an inspiring supplement to the regular pre-medical training. The organization has been very fortunate to have as its able director Dr. C. D. Day, who has 1 sponsored the organization since its beginning. This year's officers included: Dick Long, presi- dentg Drennon Dag Stringer, secretary-treasurer, and Joe McKinney, alumni secretary. . Skulls of Seven ' The Society of the Skulls of Seven has become as traditionally Westminster as the Columns itself. Founded in 1898, as an association for the promotion of college loyalty and close fellow- ship, it has grown through the years to become an order dedicated to the protection and preser- vation of the traditions and landmarks of the College. One of the original founders, Charles F. Lamkin, is still very active in its work today. The Society has been responsible for the erection of the bronze tablets commemorating the Truman-Churchill visit, for the stained glass windows of the chapel, and the World War Il bronze tablets. The role of the Society reads with some of the most outstanding campus leaders. This spring, in addition to the one representative chosen from each house, the Skulls initiated Thomas Van 1 Sant and Harry Truman into the Order. The men who are selected for service in the Skulls are F l usually second-semester juniors who have distinguished themselves ln their devotion to the i college and in activities on its behalf. Page 39 I. !, if 1 l, I Student Council The Westminster Student Council, composed of the presidents and council representatives of each of the fraternities in addition to the president of the student body who is the presiding officer of the Council, finished out a peaceful year. A heretofore unseen harmony was prevalent around campus not only in relations with the hill, but among the students and fraternities in their relations with the citizens of Fulton. Under the leadership of Dick Krabee and sponsorship of Dr. Randolph, the Council quickly and quietly tackled all problems that came forth. It is to be hoped that the Council of next year under the leadership of Dave Vaughan will achieve the same if not higher degree of success in its work .' WWW Club This school year saw the W Club contribute much to the 'social and school functions of Westminster's campus. Under the capable leadership of president Dag Stringer the club promoted the homecoming dance, which was held in Memorial Gym and was attended by approxi- mately QOWJ of the student body. During the dance the homecoming queen was crowned and the decoration prize was awarded to Beta Theta Pi for the most original homecoming display. The W club also was responsible for the appearance of soft drinks at the Blue Jay's basketball games this past season. K . The annual lettermen's banquet was held at the Fulton Country Club. The affair was high- lighted by the presentation of a silver goblet to Coach Eugene Kimbrell by Dag', Stringer on behalf of the entire club. Next year the W Club hopes to continue its services to Westminster College under the leadership of its newly-elected officers: President, Harry Torno, vice-president, Dick Lemlerg secretary-treasurer, Tom Hicks. Westminster Fellowship The Westminster Fellowship of Westminster College was founded this year to bring to this campus an organization to develop religious interest among the student body. In conjunction with the Y. W. C. A. of William Woods College, the Fellowship sponsored a Sunday night meeting, called the Fireside Hour, which included discussions, movies, and speakers on various subjects timely to College students. Such things as various religious philosophies, the Kinsey Report, and Marriage and Courtship were introduced to the audience in the meetings. The Fellowship drew its membership from all the houses on the campus. The various houses took turns furnish- lng refreshments and offering was made each week to cover these and other expenses incurred. Dr. John A. Gates and Dr. Henry Niles were the two faculty sponsors and, with several interested students, also inspired its formation. All in all the Fellowship made a sure place for itself in Westminster life this year and for the future. Page 40 9, ,Fi ,Et X 'RTX 1- .L LAAL W, 1' Top: STUDENT COUNCIL-FFOHf How: Dr. Randolph, W.

The four are: Gene Boucher, an English major, Kenneth Goering, a Mathematics major, David Brichler, an Economics major, and Dolph Bridgewater, an English major. 1 l Washington semester is designed to acquaint outstanding college men with our nation's 5 government. All men who are selected to this honor are supposed to be in their Junior year in X College. Washington semester runs along with and in accordance to a semester here at Westminster. Those men who are selected to attend the semester are chosen on the basis of their scholastic rating, leadership ability, character, and other points of their past record during their time at Westminster. While at Washington semester, the men will have the chance to study the functioning of our government, as well as attending and visiting many places of interest. They will have classes and will be graded on the basis of their knowledge in the things which they study. The honor of attending Washington semester is one which is both enjoyable and educational to the person attending Page 42 Who,s Who Among Students JERRY BERGEB Owerwville, Mo.

We here at Westminster are privileged to have such a schedule. VVe are members of the Missouri College Athletic Union, better known as the MCAU. We enter golf, tennis, track, and baseball teams in this conference. Along with the intra-school athletics We also have a very competitive intra-mural system. This year the Betas' won the athletic supremacy trophy which is given to the fraternity having won the most games plus having the ,most men on the varsity teams.

The entire starting line-up returned from last year, losing only Ken Bradley to the army. A good turn out of Freshman enabled West U tofloor a frosh team for the first time in the last several years. For the second year in a row the Kimbrellites journeyed to the Sunshine Tournament in Portales, New Mexico. All agreed that Westminster put on a better show than last year. This trip during the Christmas vacation has be- come one of the season highlights for the team. Attendance was very good this season and much school spirit was shown. The appearance of the band helped pep things up as did winning more ball games.

The 'Jays made the best showing since 1950 or so in winning eight and losing thirteen. Five of these wins were in conference play and quite a few of the losses, with a few breaks here and there, could very easily been wins. Wait until next year as we lose only Captain Stufflebam.

This year we won several track meets and encouraged many more to try out for track. An outstanding relay team helped to spark the 'Jays to victory and to honors in the Conference meet. The team ol' Jackson, Hicks, Fischer, and Torno won the 880-yard relay, while Hicks, Jackson, Hull, Silkiner, Long, and Torno placed in other events. Hicks won the low hurdles and fourth in the highs to pace the 'Jays with 82 points. Another highlight ol' the season was the last-minute victory over Drury by a score of 69-67. The 880-yard relay team again brought home the bacon. Page 49 1 v I Left lo Right: Burgess, Easley, Brudniak, Osborn Varsity Golf With Al Burgess and J im Osborn returning from last year's Conference championship team and Ted Brudniak, another Conference champ before army days, teaming up with Bill Easley, a freshman, the season looked bright for the turfs men. Throughout the season's play low scores were common and many predicted another championship. The Conference play on the short, tight Marshall course hurt our players, especially Brud- niak, who were used to the long links. Our lone bright spot of the tournament was the perform- ance of J im Osborn, whose 155 score tied that of Bob Paris of Drury for Medalist honors. Next spring both Burgess and Easley will return along with Dolph Bridgewater, who was attending Washington semester this year, to form, we hope, an unbeatable team. Page 50 Varsity Tennis This year,s racquet squad, consisting of John Gunn, captain, Bill Pfeifler, Ray Baltzell, and Carlton Riddick, turned out to be quite a surprise to all concerned. The 6-0 victory over the Drury Tigers, one of the tennis powers of the whole mid-west for the past five years, showed that the 'Jays were not to be tampered with. The M.C.A.U. Conference championship looked almost within grasp after the 4-2 victory of a favored Missouri Valley team. However, the tennis team like the golf team, fell to the Wayside atlthe conference meet. With Riddick pacing the net men, Westminster settled for a tie for second place with Missouri Valley.

However, the team wasn't near as bad as its record. A fine pitching staff headed by Parks, Lemler, Pujol, and Lawrence couldn't get the necessary hits from their team mates. In fact, Parks and Pujol posted two of the higher batting averages, something usually uncommon for pitchers. The team was made up largely of underclassmen and will only lose Strano and Barber when next season rolls around. Since most of the players engage in summer ball, it is hoped that they season somewhat and return ready for next year. Pug 52 Intramural Softball The Delts, strengthened with varsity baseball players, swept aside all competltlon to waltz away with the intramural softball plaque. Moundsman Fischer will return next season along with six other veterans to l'orm another strong contender.

A tie between the Phi Delts and Phi Gams resulted when each team registered a season's record ol' six wins and one loss. The plaque was awarded to the Phi Delts who had previously beaten the Phi Gains. The winning team was composed of Al Crum, Charlie Barber, Mike Ayres, and Tim Daley. E The Phis look hard to beat for next year as they lose only Barber and will probably come up with a good replacement.

By winning the Dads' Day trophy this year the Highlanders ended a winning streak of several years which the Delts had built up. The Laddies defeated the Sigma Chis in softball and edged the Phi Delts in ten- nis. The Sigma Chis then forfeited the golf match ending in a perfect day for the trophy winners.

The Betas and K.A.,s were second and third, respectively when the totals were announced. Tom Hicks and John Cantwell, both Delts, broke three records. Hicks in both the 70-yard high hurdles and the 120 low hurdles while team-mate Cantwell heaved the shotput a record distance.

The plaque-winning Phis, runner-up Delts, and third-place K.A.'s had a running battle all the way with still' opposition offered from all corners. However, the ability of Paul Drum and Trigg Callis to rack in the needed points along with the fine floor play of 6'P1ed', Lewis gave the Phis an unbeatable combination for the season. The favored Delts, led by Lawrence, Cantwell, and Crossette, couldn't shake off a mid-season slump that followed the loss of Ken Whitehead for the season. The game between the Delts and the Phis was one of the hardest fought games of the season, not being decided until the last minute of play by a two-point victory. This year the all-star team was composed of Paul Drum, Phi Deltg Tom Lawrence, Deltg Bill Woehler, Phi Gam, Dag Stringer, K.A.g and Red Lewis, Phi Delt. On the second team were Paul McConnell, Beta, Sheldon Crossette, Deltg Trigg Callis, Phi Deltg Norm Lange, SAE, and John Cantwell, Delt. l y THE RECORD Phi Delta Theta ,..,............... ..... 7 -0 Delta Tau Delta .... ..... 6 -1 Kappa Alpha ....... ..... 5 -2 Beta Theta Pi ........ ..... 4 -3 Sigma Alpha Epsilon .... ..... 3 -4' Highlanders .......... ...., 2 -5 Phi Gamma Delta ..... ..... 2 -5 Sigma Chi ..,,..., ..... 0 -7 Page 60 p Intramural Bowling The Highlanders, featuring Bill Elsea, Christ Mangos, .lim Filling, and Dan Conrad, beat all competition for a clear record in winning the bowling plaque.

Granai's speed with Buschls power proved to be too much for the opposition. Several freshmen showed quite a bit of potential and should become powers by the time they are seniors. The most promising of the upcoming crop are Ron Rosser, Deltg and Dick Ruppert, Phi Delt. Among the older players Cris Mangos, Highlanderg and Sheldon Crossette, Deltg played the most consistent games.

In celebrating its 86th successful year, Alpha Delta has again continued to be known as an organization devoted to the building and the cultivating of moral and intellectual qualities in its members. The Beta's intense competitive spirit in athletics was shown this year as they won the Intramural Supremacy trophy. This trophy was won due to the Beta's winning of three sports Cswim- ming, handball, and tennisj, by placing high in all other com- petitive sports, and by having representatives in all varsity sports. Alpha Delta has shown its support of campus activities this year by winning the Homecoming Decorations trophy. This trophy is awarded to the fraternity having the best decorations for the annual Homecoming celebration.

It has always been our policy to pledge top mein that show promise of making some- thing of themselves and that will benefit both school and fra- ternity. Good examples of this type are found in Bob Stufflebam and Jerry Berger. Both have held high office in the fraternity as well as high positions on the hill,' and as a result have been named to ODK and lVho's Who In American Colleges and Universities. The Delts have won the athletic supremacy trophy two out of the last four years and finished second the other two times. Delta Tau Delta appears on the English Scholarship Cup more times than any other fraternity and have been one of the three Greek fraternities to be honored with the Drosten Trophy for outstanding campus leadership.

I :gr 69 N 1 l lk E an fl- L Q H w - I This organization has been on the campus of Westminster college since 1920, and became the HIGHLANDERS in De- cember ofq 1933. The Fraternity is traditionally Scottish in background linked with the Old Scottish tradition and cultural Clans present in our Country today. This school year of 1953-54 has seen. greater accomplish- ments for the Laddies in all fields. Scholastically speaking, the HIGHLANDEBS won the scholarship trophy with an 87.10 average, four points above the all-school average. ln the ath- letic field, the Laddies surpassed all to win the famed Dad's Day Trophy and the Bowling Plaque. The HIGHLANDERS were also outstanding socially this year with their Harvest Party, Tea Dances, Christmas Formal and Spring Formal. Realizing the importance of scholastics in a College of men, the HIGHLANDEBS attempt to instill good study habits in their underclassmen and hold every upperclassman in a high level of scholarship. Constantly working for bigger and better achievements, the HIGHLANDERS look with pride at the past year and with optimism to the coming one.

The year was started off in a fine manner when we pledged 24 men. Of these, 22 have been initiated. Since the closing of the first semester we have pledged two more which gives us a total of 55 men. We have placed high this year in campus activities. We were one of the top fraternities for athletes on campus being well represented in varsity sports by having some men on every team. In track, we did exceptionally well by being represented by eight men. Harry Torno was elected captain of the track team. We have had quite a fewvvery nice parties during the past year. These included the usual UVic dances and our formals which were tremendous successes. These were all decorated very handsomely and every one who attended them had en- joyable times.

The Phi Delta Theta Fraternity was founded in 1848 at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. The Missouri Beta Chapter was established at Westminster College in 1880, by Robert Mor- rison, one of the fraternity's original founders. The Chapter has steadily grown over the years, and has initiated close to a thousand men. In athletics, the Phis won intramural placques in both golf and basketball. Howard Lewis and Paul Drum placed on the all I-M Basketball First Team. Phi Delta Theta also takes its place in the ranks of campus leaders. Tom Davis, president of Pi Delta Epsilong Dave Vaughan, president of the Skulls of Seveng and Bill Christensen, organizer and president of the Westwood Fellowship. The Phis have long been known as a strong singing fra- ternity. Missouri Beta has won the Annual Inter-Fraternity Sing, eight out of twelve years. Six times more than their closest rival.

Phi Gamma Delta I aerial Founded: Phi Gamma Delta-1848 Phi Mu-1948 Phi Mu's sixth year on Westminsterls campus has been an other great year of progress socially as Well as in activities and scholarship. The social year began with a successful open house which was followed by a gala pledge formal and the annual Purple Garter Dance in December. The social season was crowned on the week-end of May 14-15 with the traditional Fiji Island Banquet and Dance. Another Fraternity tradition was the annual Norris Pig Dinner held for returning alumni of the chapter. In Phi Muls sixth observance of this great Fiji event, a total of 482, of the men initiated into the chapter since its establishment were present for the banquet. Phi Mu, holder of the Drosten Trophy for excelling fraternity leadership on the Westminster campus, for the second consecu- tive year won the Inter-Fraternity Sing Trophy on the annual Motherls Day sponsored by the college and the fraternities on the week-end of May 8-9, 19541.

The chapter started off its successful year by pledg- ing a large group of fine men in the fall rush week. This fine rushing continued throughout the year, and when the January rush was over, 22 men had adopted the 6'Sig Alph badge. The Sig Alph social calendar, made up entirely of estab- lished parties which are rich in tradition, continued its unchal- lenged leadership. The Pledge, Christmas, and Spring Formals were all successful, but the annual Gay Nineties party was the best attended and most acclaimed party of the year. Missouri Gamma of SAE remained this year as the only chapter to completely erase all traces of hazing from their pledge program. During their annual Greek Week program, the chapter cleaned up and repainted a country school house and repainted the basement of one of the local churches. igma Alpha O Epsilon 7 .. EAB 1 T -.

It was the third fraternity to make up the well known Miami Triad. The Delta Tau Chapter was installed on the Westminster campus November 10, 1949. Since that date it has enjoyed the benefits of a well established chapter through its excellent organi- zation and closely knitted brotherhood. Just in the last year the chapter settled down to its permanent ground and plans are to build in the near future. Acclaiming itself very well, the chapter has remodeled, added, and revamped its setting to put it to the best possible use. Since its establishment on the campus, Sigma Chi has con- tributed many capable leaders to campus activities and sports. During the past year Tom Brown was a member of Skulls of Seven, while Ted Evans was the director and organizer of the Westminster Band. I gg 75 Back How: Stevenson, Fick, Hoy, Evans, D.

We think that this is rightly so since the unit is only two years old and has already added so much to our Collegeg it is not just another phase of college life, it is a feature.
