It means that such a college affords not only the materials with which to turn mere existence into real life, but even more gives the approach to a fuller apprecia- tion of life. Such an education is a wise choice even for those who plan to enter a technical career because of the under- standing and appreciation it gives to human nature. Emphasizing the in- tellectual interests a liberal arts educa- tion aids in the development of sound judgment, refinement and culture. As Dr. Park said in one of his chapel talks, “Accurate knowledge in some sphere and genuine information and appre- ciation of others is culture.”’ e RB ecause “ reluctant to say goodbye to Dr. and Mrs. Park, who have worked selflessly and con- stantly for the welfare of Wheaton College, we salute them in this yearbook. With little thought of themselves they have given freely of their time and labors to make the years spent at Wheaton pleasant and profit- able for the student. We can never forget their gracious hospitality, their genial par- ticipation in college affairs or their serious interest in the main business of a liberal arts college. For their devotion to Wheaton and _ to express Wheaton’s genuine devotion to them, we respectfully dedicate the NIKE of 1944 to Dr. and Mrs. J. Edgar Park. Laying Foundations VERYWHERE on the Wheaton campus can be seen the hand of Dr. Park. Although he may leave the President’s desk, he cannot but leave behind him his mark in the many things he has added. Not only - will we remember him when we see the new Library and Science building wings, Kilham and Metcalf Halls, the Adminis- ‘tration building, the swimming pool, the Student Alumnae Building, and even Peacock Pond, all of which were built during Dr. Park’s presidency, but also, and probably foremost, we will remember Dr. Park’s inspiring and timely Chapel. talks. — : | Fulfilling the motto of Dr. Cole, his predecessor, “Old Ideals and New Hori- zons,” Dr. Park has encouraged the old traditions of college life and at the same time has been a leading advocator of higher education for women. He _ has recognized the place women should hold in the world and has continually stressed the important influence women should The original bicycle boy [8] have in rebuilding the world after the war and in maintaining the peace. Besides his interest in the intellectual aspects of edu- cation, Dr. Park had encouraged, many times by active participation, the tradi- tional activities that go with campus life. Mrs. Park has also been an integral part of Wheaton. In addition to the occasional Senior Suppers, Mrs. Park is remembered for the stories she has read at the Freshmen Receptions and at the annual Christmas parties. President Park was professor of theory of worship at Boston University when he was appointed President of Wheaton. He was also the pastor of the Congregational Church in West Newton for 19 years. Succeeding the late Dr. Samuel Valentine Cole, he became the second President of the college in 1926 when he was elected unanimously by the Board of Trustees. In 1927, NIKE was dedicated to Dr. Park with the following inscription: “To John Edgar Park, who is so wisely blending the new with the old.” “Grandpa” As Host and Hostess a Nineteen Forty Jour AV EO ATOURGY ALE The American remark most amusing to foreign- ers is, ““Pleased-to meet -you!” -[D said@tiagers Wheaton eighteen years ago and now sincerely can make use of another conversational cliche:— “Pleased to have made your acquaintance.” We met as friends, we lived as friends, we part as friends, we continue friends. Everyone has been kind to us, and Mrs. Park and I have been spoiled for life by your attention and cooperation. It is too bad to think of leaving with the nicest group of students and faculty and staff we have ever had, but this has always been so. I know you will look back on our college days at Wheaton and say, as we do, ““Those were good days!” The college of the future will be greater and grander, but we will always share our pride in its advance with affection for the Wheaton of 1944. ““You know, there was something about Lean President [ 10 ] NOWLEDGE, the fundamental goal of college, demands for its achievement the efficient and smooth management by members of the admin- istration. Wartime difficulties have made their already complicated work even harder. However, a happy, full, and worthwhile year has been the result of steady persistence in the face of these problems by the Administration Administration Members MISS TOWNSEND Following Mis s Zeigler, Miss ‘Townsend, as Director of the Board of Admissions, has been very busy both on campus and on a speaking tour to a number of schools for the purpose of making Wheaton fa- miliar to prospective college students. MISS YOUNG The job of the registrar, involved in red tape, green jealousies, and purple rages, is envied by none. Yet Miss Young carries it on nonchalantly. For this we offer our admiration and a large bottle of aspirin. MISS LITTLEFIELD Miss Littlefield comes across priceless and amusing situations and at times,. minor tragedies in her role of Dean of Freshmen. With a faculty for straightening things out her first year push in the right direction leads a student clear‘of the bumps in the other three years. MISS DUNKLE Miss Dunkle, always pleasant and gra- cious, handles the financial end of Wheaton College with the quiet ability that has much to do with the efficient functioning of any college community. Miss Carmnenter Miss Carpenter, Dean of Wheaton for fifteen years, under- took a big job when she came here but has carried it out with great accomplishment. She has had an important part in the proper functioning and smooth running of all phases of campus life. Under her guidance many improvements have come to Wheaton and we hope her progressive spirit will con- tinue with us as her memory will, after she leaves the office of Dean. We shall miss her cheerful chats on campus, and our visits with her at Hollyhock House. Miss Barker, who will take the office of acting Dean after Miss Carpenter leaves us for Harvard Law School, has been Miss Carpenter’s able assistant and we feel certain she is the person fitted for the job. [15 ] HAT they may have life and may have it abundantly” is the driving goal for Wheaton students. With this end in view, their classes and hours in the library, their extra work for outside clubs, and the daily chapel exercises take on an added meaning to the mere storing up of knowledge. This meaning, a direct approach to life, comes from those things we call The Gormatities Mr. G. goes to town The Choir The Choir is one of the best supported activities on Wheaton’s campus. In addition to singing at the Sunday church service and t occasionally during the year at morning chapel, the choir also sings at such activities as the Founders’ Day Exercises. The choir annually presents two concerts, one in the Spring and the other, the traditional Christmas Carol Concert, shortly before the Christmas holidays. “ Hope springs eternal. ..”” CHOIR: Mr. Garabedian, Director of Choir; Mr. Ram- seyer, Ethel Gray, President; Ruth Walker, Secretary; Elizabeth Creasy, Librarian; Virginia Price, Manager; Catherine Lawlor, Marshal. Fourteen steps to knowledge The Litrary The focal point on campus from two aspects, the layout of Wheaton’s buildings and the intellectual interest, the library is the true center of campus activity. From the main entrance all paths lead one’s eye to a view of the library through the trees in the Dimple. More important still is its function as store- house of knowledge essential to education.

PsycHE, a club with many interests, believes in variety of subject matter in its closed meetings and open discussions. It turned from Blake to the Wasteland poets, to a talk on Francesca Alexander by Mrs. Park, to a faculty symposium on Alice in Wonderland. AGorRA is designed primarily for those interested in the field of social sciences. Discussing current history in its closed meetings the club’s members find many interesting and important topics worthy of consideration arising from the war. THE ROMANCE LANGUAGES CLUB, one of the most active clubs connected with studies, is of social as well as intellectual nature. Its teas and Christmas party are primarily social, its meetings and dis- cussions intellectual, and its plays are a combination of both. GYM STAFF: Back row: Elaine L. Weygand, Christine White, Head. Front row: Rita M. Benson, Barbara Bradshaw, Patricia Urner. Sports Gym, strictly speaking, belongs to the formal part of campus life, but we do not think of it as being such. Long will we remember the Sports Meetings, student- faculty games, Tritons’ annual show, interclass games and the Riding Meets. Nor will we forget Miss Brady and Miss Mott, now in the Marines; nor Miss Estes and Miss Roth, in the Red Cross; nor Miss Weygand who patiently answers our questions; nor the new Gym department we were happy to welcome this year.

They add to the fun of Gym and give spirit to class competition. Besides their efficient management, we = shall remember Wheaton’s successful part in the New England Hockey Conference in Bos- ton. Often will we laugh over the episodes of the Student-Faculty game—the formal procession preceding the game, the in- toxicating effect of Clewes’ Paradise, the manual scoring of the faculty by Miss Benson with the running interference of Mr. Boas, and the medical assistance of the student stretcher crew. The familiar phrase: “‘Let’s go up to the Gym roof for a cigarette’ will also remain in our memories.

Careful consideration is given to where and how each leisure moment will be spent. Perhaps one’s mood indicates a game of bridge in SAB, a novel that has been put aside in deference to assigned work, fun out-of-doors, hiking, skating, bike-riding, according to the weather, tea at the Inn or a cake at Marty’s or, as is fre- quently chosen, a mid-afternoon nap. Occasionally leisure-time will take us away from campus to a movie in Attleboro or on a moonlight hayride.

Generally recognized that they develop initiative and leadership, the expert products turned out and the genuine participation of members show their real worth and their part in the informalities of campus life.

Nike, not only the year in review, ex- presses also the general pattern of Wheaton life for now and for memories in the future. IRC is one of Wheaton’s most active News, with its scoops and campaigns, organizations not only on campus but also reports on many aspects of campus life in participation with other colleges. and current events in relation to Wheaton’s students. YWCA YWCA is one of the most active organizations on campus, as witnessed by the committee meetings, group discussions, lectures and the generous contribu- tions by the faculty, staff and student body to the World Fellowship Fund. Not lim- ited to Wheaton campus alone, it participated in many Christian Association activities in the New Eng- land area. CGA To the College Govern- ment Association goes the duty of keeping the college running smoothly so that its main purpose, education, can be fully achieved. Never easy and ever present, these duties involve a great deal of monotonous _ statistical work. To CGA goes also admiration for a well done job. DA Ailethatsis DA is not glamorous. The hard work, long hours and frantic anx- iety in preparation for the plays, including one Shakes- pearean annually, is_ re- warded by successful pro- duction and large audiences. Dramatic Association is one of the outstanding organiza- tions because of its large membership and large au- diences. Outing Clit The Outing Club, a baby among the long established organizations since it was only born last year, is quite active for its age. Included among its varied activities are picnics, and moonlight hayrides with hot chocolate awaiting the return of the frozen members. SWAR SWAB represents Wheaton’s active part in the war effort. Under the direction of the ten members of the Board, with Nancy Traill as the head, the students have undertaken numerous jobs from washing blackboards to working in Myles Standish’s post exchanges. The volunteer tasks the students are doing show that the war has changed Wheaton. Now we are in the war. By working in the dorms, the infirmary and kitchen we are re- lieving the strain placed on Miss Lincoln due to the help shortage. By farming we are con- tributing to one of the most important parts of the war on the home front, the production of food. By buying war stamps and signing up for War Relief we are giving our share in backing the men overseas and various war organiza- tions. These activities are very significant as also are the war courses in Home Nursing and Typing, ARP training and practising, con- servation, making surgical dressings and going to Myles Standish either to work in the PXes or for dances. Not the least of the various depart- ments of SWAB is the Publicity which arranges for students to give Chapel talks and for occa- sional Sunday night speakers. SWAB thanks the students for all they have done; and the students thank SWAB for arranging jobs for them to do. To each of the following goes a great deal of credit and praise: Nancy Traill, Corinne Wil- liams, Charlotte Nisbet, Jeanne Heathcote, Frances Tomasello, Edith Schwartz, Marjorie Davis, Barbara Rossmassler, Mary Lou Low- man, Patty Mann and Harriet Dewey. 1 42) S SH on © (oan S MN oO a] ‘= © =) I = QO.

As a student heads in the direction of Norton on any Saturday her manner of dress indicates her probable destination. Blue jeans or sweater and skirt mean a coke at Marty’s or tea at the Inn. Marty’s, closed now a fter six o’clock, is still haunted with late breakfast seekers. The Inn is still a favorite place for Friday afternoon tea and talk. Stockings or hats replacing socks and ban- dannas bespeak a day or two in a big city or home town. Attractions at week-ends’ destina- tions included concerts, plays, and occasional dances in Boston, which was no longer under dim-out regulations. There were also more or less quiet times at home. “‘Where the elite meet to eat’’ Because weekends away from campus have been fewer and farther between due to transpor- tation difficulties, we have made our good times right here. Attleboro for movies or shopping is a frequent destination because its proximity does away with transportation and overnight facilities. At dances there have been a majority of uniforms over civies and on other weekends they are seen everywhere from Marty’s on Sat- urday to church on Sunday. In the spring hikes, bike-riding, and picnics or a combination of them, offer outdoor relaxation on the leisure week-end _ hours. “Slap, bang, here we are again’’ “ The Magic Moment’’ ‘ Please use other door’’ Wheaton Traditions Wheaton tradition plays an important role at Wheaton. Year after year the old traditions are kept alive and in return give life to campus activ- ities. Ones Wheaton has adhered to longest are the step sings, and the senior step washing to go with them, the Christmas festivities, including Mrs. Park’s Christmas story, the banquet, and Mummers’ and Nativity Plays, the inspiring Candlelight Service around Peacock Pond, and the memorable singing of Auld Lang Syne at last chapel. The traditions, handed on from class to class and enriched with each new performance, are a means of building a unified feeling between stu- dent and student, and student and school. .

The center of social activity had shifted from the Sem to SAB! It was a beautiful building, we agreed, and our thoughts that year were beautiful, far- away thoughts. When the New York Times announced in a headline that spring, ‘‘Whea- ton Begins Wings” it referred to the additions to the library and science buildings, but little did we think that we would some day have a SWAB, that in our own way we would be helping to build wings, tanks and guns for those same boys who were then driving up for gay weekends in Norton. We took the required science courses, and spent our time counting grains of corn and digging for specimens in the sands of Nahant, little realizing the importance that would be placed on science for Women at War. We were still in a happy world of picnics, ski trips and football weekends, marred only by freshman themes, light dips, and light cuts. We returned in 1941, and we were still in our care-free world—until December 7th. Then, the awfulness of facing reality. We cut classes to listen to last minute broadcasts. We sat up nights trying to decide it would not be best to give up college and go on the assembly line. Soon, however, we learned to see things in their proper relationships. We went back to Mary Lyon, for in ancient his- tory class we learned the strategic importance of the Middle East for thrusts on Asia, and along with Milton we studied the true lit- erary value of a newspaper man’s account of the fall of Singapore. May Day, with our own Alice Phillips as queen, and the Shakespeare symposium did not seem out of place after all, because by now we knew that these were part of the culture our men were fighting for. [ 48 ] By the time we came to have freshmen sisters of our own, we were used to living in a wartime atmosphere. We almost convinced ourselves that there were advantages to all this, for unless there were an army camp nearby, a naval airbase a stone’s throw away, and a coastal dim-out, how else could we find Aussies and New Zealanders in Norton, planes dipping into the dimple, and hazards around campus to hand in for the first aid assignment? With Pfeiffie as president for the second consecutive year, we walked through the center doors of the chapel at last. But though we followed the old ways, we did much that was new. CGA president, CGammie, broke a Wheaton tradition by accepting an older one—the wedding ring. By accelerating, Neil and Dody were ready for diplomas in Feb- ruary. Through a photograph in News, the Madonna was found to be Jeanne Heath- cote. The name of Wheaton spread through Boston hockey circles because of our star, Jean Collins; Camp Edwards took notice when Wheaton Scholar Bobby Sondheim scored high at a camp quiz show; through IRC Scholar, Neva Jane, the West Coast learned of the Norton college; and countless thousands read the name of Wheaton when the New Yorker quoted the headline of Bobby Lane’s music column. For the fourth year, we sang under Jeani’s baton, and we were modern enough to end a formal dance at eleven o’clock, and to discuss post-war trends at the studen t symposium. By the time commencement neared, we began to look back over all the changes we had seen. We had accepted them almost without realizing it. Still, we were dazed to hear Dr. Park’s resignation speech. We were partially reconciled, however, by the thought that instead of leaving us, he was leaving with us. And so, with his Wheaton Hymn in mind, we were prepared to journey toward 669 new horizons ‘‘’ mid other men and other ways.” RutH Biock C. ammencement Suppose you had come, a half-invited guest, Blinking into a chamber hall Where welcome tinkled from the chandelier, And diamonds sparkled on the silverware From candlelight, falling in pictures on the wall And spun like hoar-frost over the tabled feast. Suppose you had taken your place, and brimmed a cup With wine long cooled in the cellars of kings; Had tasted coffee flavored with England, and bread Thick crusted and new, when suddenly someone said, “You may keep your plate as a souvenir of the untouched things You must leave untouched, for your time with us is up.” Would you not then, half leaving, still half stand, Trying to memorize the light And splendor so sweetly tasted, so briefly known! While you hugged your souvenir of glad hours gone? Would you not be reluctant to bid the hosts goodnight, And, still in the doorway, twist your gloves in your hand? BosBETTE S.
