Yes, there was a war going on, but we the students of the University of Wichita, were little affected by it. As yet, it hadn ' t touched us personally. But this year, the whole picture has changed. Fellows are sitting beside us in class one day, and the next day they are gone to the army, many of them never again to walk down the familiar halls of our buildings. We have tried to carry on, realizing that the peace of the world in the future would depend upon the education we are getting today. We ' ve had our fun but we ' ve worked too. Many are the changes that have taken place on our campus, not only since 1895 but also since 1942 and we want to record a few of them .... § m tkti volume cd Pa maMPtA w e qwe if u • - - Our campus has grown since 1895 . . . From a few buildings surrounding old Fairmount Hall to more than two dozen buildings on a spacious campus. An impressive sight indeed is the silhouette of the University of Wichita, against the background of the morning sun. This year these buildings have more than done their share. Along with the regular activities and curriculum of the students, these buildings have housed the Air Corps boys and the C. P. T. boys. Each building plays its own part in our college life. We go to class in Ad and Science . We study in the library. We play and relax in the gym and the commons. We paint and draw in Morrison. The army has taken over Fiske. And so the years go rolling by, students come and go, but still these buildings stand as an inspiration to the new student. Old grads point to them with pride as the place where they went to school. On the following pages we shall see the various buildings that make up our school, the University of Wichita. 4f$M f J J ag SJrteadd- - 5fc -a M 1 I nh- UHSUZ. Without students the buildings have no real meaning. Here are a few familiar faces and places we see every day that make the buildings resound with life. ' J leatk the feme o Candad a med The most popular of all campus buildings, the Commons . nd Auditorium. In the fountain room and the pine room, we relax from the grind of our studies, say Hi, to Charley, everybody ' s buddy, enjoy some of Miss Sissel ' s super food, or see how Mrs. Price ' s knitting is com ing along. Most ot us will remember that afternoon we spent on the lawn dreaming in the warm sunshine for many years to come. In the auditorium, we will all remember the many good plays so ably directed by Mr. Wilner, the convos that we enjoyed so much, and the Student Forums where we heard nationally famous speakers tells us what was going on in the world. Admlnidinaiicm We will all remember Ad because we had most of our classes there. At all hours of the day the hum of efficiency was ever present, the voice of a professor lecturing, the chatter of the students around the rotunda, Mrs. Wakefield in the bookstore explaining why there weren ' t any candy bars or gum, the click of someone ' s heels along the halls .... this is real college life. Morrison was known this year by many students in many and varied courses .... the clackedy-clack of the typewriters of the Journalist, working to get out this week ' s copy of the Sunflower to beat that always present deadline, the silent concentration of art students trying to get that new design, and the melodious tones of a piano, sending Rhapsody in Blue throughout the building. This is Morrison, this year. And Science will undoubtedly be most remembered by the mingled odors of a chemistry experiment and preserved pigs. Rubber aprons and white coats were the familiar garb of the students that will some day be found among the Pasteur ' s and the Boyle ' s. Mort uAtm IBB Mch cie tce V J£ [r r Aeronautics, the newest of all L the campus buildings, and completed just last year, was built for wartime use to train Shock- ers to do their part to lick the Axis. Henrion started the year as the girl ' s and boy ' s gyms but in the sec- ond semester was changed to what is called home by| | Air Corps Cadets. Henrion has played a large part in campus life. The gyms are the scenes of all intramural tournaments and it is here where we cheered basketball to many victories. We had always had fun in Henrion. if Number restricted. Ae cpnautioi a en icm Our library, one of the finest in the nation, is also a recent ad- dition to the campus build- ings. I tere you can see students try- ing to get in that last minute cram before . n exam, reading the latest magazines in the browsing room, or checking out the latest novel . nd hoping they ' ll find time to read it. Yes, we ' re proud of our library. Changing from the blare ot a trumpet to the preciseness of army efficiency, this is Fiske. William M. jjawiMe PneAidenl leaxlet cmd tf-nimA President Jardine this year on March 1 entered his tenth year as president of the University of Wichita. The task of adjusting the University to a full time war program required many long hours of hard work, but President Jardine was never too busy to exchange a friendly greeting with any student on the campus. We, the students of the University, want to thank you, President Jardine, for the splendid job you have done in fitting our school into the war program, and yet, you con- sidered our welfare in ever) ' move you made. We ' ve had swell times these four years in college and we owe much of these good times to your leadership and your willingness to understand our problems. Thanks again, President Jardine, you ' ve done a great job. WORKING with President Jardine, to uphold and to further the advance- ment of the University of Wichita is the Board of Regents.

But underneath this eagerness, all of us are just a little afraid of the future and what it holds for us. It just won ' t be the same. We won ' t see the kids so often. Many of them we will never see on this earth again. Never again can we cut class and know that things will go on without us. from here on out we ' re on our own. Our lives will be just what we make them. Rut no matter what is going to happen, the class of 1943 started out on the right track when it entered the University of Wichita and it will continue to go on the right track — each of us to do our part in the war effort and to — victory. The following students assisted the officers of the senior class in the graduation prepara- tions.

Before July 1 , 1 942, 345 men and women com- pleted this training, consisting of 72 hours of ground school, covering 16 weeks ' training. On July 1, the program was open only to men en- listed in the Army Air Corps Reserve. MY DAY ' UNIVERSITY OF WICHITA Paw 26 • Since that time, 292 trainees have taken the training, elementary or secondary. The ground school program now consists of 240 hours taken during an eight-week period. Because of this stepped-up program, 32 members of the Univer- sity faculty have assisted at one time or another in the teaching of these trainees. Flight training was given by Rawden Brothers Flying Service, Harte Flying Service, and Mc- Junkin Flying Service, all located in Wichita. As an Army Air Corps unit and a Civil Aero- nautics Unit cannot be located in the same place, the program came to an end in 1943. The last group of trainees received their wings in April. The program was directed by Roy W. Elliott as coordinator and Richard S. Courtney and Francis J. Nock, as assistant coordinators. The picture above shows a group of trainees in the elementary or secondary flight training that have just received their wings. At the extreme right are: second row, Richard Courtney, Ed- mund G. Bradfield, of the district C. A. A. office; first row, Francis Nock, J. E. Wood, of the dis- trict office, and Roy W. Elliott. The cartoon was drawn by a C. A. A. trainee to illustrate a typical day of the trainee of the University of Wichita. The Holyoke Hall girls of 1897 and a typical college coed of the University of Wichita. On the following pages are the girls that have been honored as queens. • Page 27 A ' 2m£SH ol Pa maMub Pa c 2$ • Mii£ R.a Ann QeuJze Mite. £ue Wooden Mite fcettq.

The outstanding varsities of the year included The Homecoming Varsity, The Christmas and Thanks- giving Varsities, and the annual Alter Fina ls Fling. Jack Greene was the first chairman of the varsity committee t the year succeeded by Jerry Preston. The members of the varsity committee shown below are representatives from each social organization, from left to right: Melba Van Sickle, Charles Purnell, Jerry Preston, Bill Hattan, Margaret Ann Ketchersid, I urman Nyberg, Ed Costello, Harold Hamilton, Pat Malone, Edgar Crum, 1 lelen Robertson, Peggy Cooke, and Betty Alford. The kids deserve a big hand for their part in making the social side ot college much brighter. • Pag, 15 Officers President Vice- president Secretary Treasurer Tom Cannon Francis Hesse Francis Hesse Carolyn Morris Virginia Loveland Suzanne Gay Members include: Tom Cannon, Francis Hesse, Carolyn Morris, Virginia Loveland, Suzanne Gay, Harold Brammer, George Purnell, James Garvey, Bill Waldron, Ed Costello, Victor Hyden, Margaret Lynn Berges, Jean Stoll, Jean Kimel, Carol Whitehead, Katherine Easterly, Betty Deshler, Alma Ruth Funk. Campus life went all-out for victory this year, as the Student Council centered most of its activities on Joe College at war. Under the direction of the first semester presi- dent, Tom Cannon, upperclassmen elected officers in October with the Shocker Coalition taking 1 1 out of the 16 positions to be filled. Jim Noone, political manager of the Campus Party and George Purnell, campaign manager for the Shocker Party, agreed that election-day antics were out of place on a war campus. Homecoming, the annual grad roundup, brought a touch of Texas to a colorful week of celebration. Tom Cannon, Suzanne Gay, Ed Cos- tello and Betty Deshler worked with the alumni, the Pan-Flellenic councils, and Blue Key to plan the Victory Roundup. Burning of the Kansas State wildcat, a pep rally and snake dance through the Lassen Hotel and downtown streets on Friday night, left many a coed exhausted for the big day to follow. Satur- day morning, however, found the sorority and fraternity houses bedecked in anticipation of the $10 war stamp prize. Sorosis and Pi Alpha Pi were the winners. Pretty, blonde Betty Alford was elected Homecoming Queen in an all-student election and was escorted to the game by Tom Cannon. The Victory Roundup Varsity, honoring the new queen climaxed the week of activities. With Jack Greene leaving for the army, Jerry Preston took charge of the Homecoming Varsity. In cooperation with the nation wide trans- portation and rubber conservation, the Swap- Rides plan was organized in November with Francis Hesse, vice-president of the Student Council named chairman of the Gas Rationing committee for the University. Harold Brammer, Victor Hyden, and Carolyn Morris worked in co-operation with Max Milbourn, assistant to President Jardine. Surveys showed that twice as much private transportation was being used on the campus than was necessary and ear-marked all joy riders. Page 56 The committee took applications for additional gasoline and tires . nd asked all students and fac- ulty to share then - ears 100 per cent. Joe Col- lege began to date via the green monster and the girl friend could only smile with patriotism. At mid year President Cannon, I larold Bram- mer anil George Purnell were called to the army and I ' rancis I lesse assumed the duties as president. He promised a continuation of a policy ot impar- tial co-operation with all organizations on the campus. The new president took charge of the second all-school election tor five Council repre- sentatives and freshmen class officers early in February. In the spring a specialcommitteewasappointed from the Student Council to direct activities for the Red Cross War fund Drive on the V. U. campus. The student committee was composed of Virginia Loveland, chairman; Ed Costello, Bill Waldron, Carolyn Morris and Alma Ruth Funk. The goal set for Wichita was $280,000 and Uni- versity students and faculty contributed their dimes and dollars. Banner headlines announced the arrival of Army Air Force training students in March and a definite program was soon established to corre- late the new hoys with University activities. President Hesse announced the formation oi a student liasion committee to co-ordinate the Air Corp Cadet Unit with the established student l tnl . This was the lust official step to make the cadets a part oi the campus. ( . W. ( ookson, president ot the men ' s pep club was named chair- man of the committee representing the students m liasion activities. Marjorie Johnson, dene Mitzel, Mary Lou Southworth and Lou Bartholo- mew also served on the committee Air Corps trainees selected their social commit- tee as representatives; Pvt. Albert Beard, Doyne Krouch and Ed Crostwait. The Shocker Service Show was soon initiated to entertain the men of the Air force on the campus and to recognize the part of all students and faculty of the University in the war effort. Broadcast over K.F.H., the first program featured Chuck Foster ' s orchestra and brought enthusias- tic applause from a capacity audience. On following Mondays, Verne Nydegger, Jack Teagarden and Ted Fio Rito took the spotlight on the Shocker Service Show. k P ;s; i ' Dean Hekhuis.

Withdrawal of many of its members to the Armed Serv- ices reduced the size of the orchestra and necessitated the advancement of the date of the spring concert from that of previous years. The instrumentation of the orchestra also was affected by its decreased membership, especially in the string sections. This year was Prof. Zerbe ' s first year as conductor of the Symphony. He came here from his position as violin instruc- tor at Hastings College. A Kansas Wesleyan graduate, he received his bachelor of music degree from the American Conservatory of Chicago and holds master ' s degrees from Butler University and the Jordan Conservatory of Indian- apolis. He has done postgraduate work at Butler University and at the National Music Camp, Interlochen, Michigan, and was former head of the violin department of Kansas Wesleyan University and conductor of the Hastings, Ne- braska, Dime Symphony. The first concert by the Symphony was presented on December 15. The program was as follows: I gmont Overture . . .Beethoven Symphony No. 5 from The New World . .Dvorak Chorale Kum Susser Tod (Strings) Bach Andante Cantabile ( Strings) Tschaikowsky Nutcracker Suite Tschaikowsky Because of the many members of the orchestra who were members of the Enlisted Reserve Corps and were expected to report for active duty in April, the spring concert was presented on March 3 1, instead of on the usual date some- time in May.

Band played as lively as ever this year despite the fact that 3 2 members were called to the armed services during the year. At the beginning of the first semester the band boasted of 77 members but at the second semester the draft boards had decided to leave only 44 members. In spite of this, the R. O. T. C. Band, under the able direction of Maj. Walter Duerksen, con- tinued to liven the football and basketball games with Hail, Hail Wichita and The Strip Polka. Also the R. O. T. C. Band was present at all mili- tary programs and reviews and gave a program for the Kansas State Teachers Convention in Wichita. John Davies was student assistant director, Dave Enoch was the drum major, Jack Howse, assistant drum major, and Donald Moore was company commander of the R. O. T. C. Band. Pictured above is the R.O.T.C. concert band which is made up of most of the members of the band and other students of the University. Their outstanding achievement was the annual concert presented this year on January 7 in the University Auditorium. The personnel of the concert band are: Clari- net; Kathryn Hogue, Robert Bashford, F. D.

Page 46 • 4 WOMEN ' S GLEE CLUB: I lelping to up- hold the tradition of music at the Univer- sity of Wichita during the past year, the Women ' s Glee Club sang in public several times, among which was their appearance at the Faculty Tea given by Chips. Virginia Popinks, Arlene Tade, Audrey Nossa- man, and Lorene Overman acted as student directors throughout the year. The Women ' s Glee Club also appeared several times in collaboration with the Men ' s Glee Club and the Mixed Chorus. The organization, made up of thirty voices, consists of the following members: Joan Bollinger, Catherine ( runk, Luzella Epperson, Mary Frances Guzman, Lois 1 larlan, Mxrabcl Hollow ell, Joanne lamb, Madge Marshall, Joan Nelson, Marian Peck, Arroline Swonger, Wanda Anderson, Ardeen Burkett, Marguerite Campbell, lone Jones, Dons Marcum, Audrey Nossaman, Virginia Popkins, Jeanne Mc- Bee, Charlotte Plumley, Arlene Tade, Inez W ' hitson Taylor, Dorothy I.edbetter, Ruth McCurry, Laura 1 lines, Ruth McCormick. MEN ' S GLEE CLUB: Booming basso pro- fundi) and ringing tenor sounded across the campus as the Men ' s Glee Club added more musical notes to the staff of University- activity. During the past year the Men ' s Glee Club appeared several times in programs with the other two vocal organizations on the campus, but did not appear alone. The shortage of men en- rolled in the University created a scarcity of suit- able male voices for the Glee Club at the Univer- sity of Wichita, as in other schools and colleges. The twenty members of the Men ' s (dee Club are as fol- lows: Rolieil Atkinson, Charles Davis, Durrant I.arkin. Harry lleckm.in, Everett Hull, Harold Lutz, Jack Mil Stanle) Mitchell, Donald Moore. John Moore, Roberi Si Edgar Turrentine, John Davies, Bob Hamilton, Donivan Waldron. MIXED CHORUS: We must have some- thing beautiful to return to after the war is over. Mother Nature can ' t do it all alone, even if she can create a beautiful tree. So spoke Dean Thurlow Lieurance, head of the ( al- lege of Fine Arts on the campus, when asked about the place of music in the present war. During the past year, the three vocal music organizations on the campus have done much to keep this theory alive. The Mixed Chorus, made up largely of the members of the Men ' s and Women ' s Glee Clubs, presented the Christmas Mid Easter Convocations. The Chorus also presented a community sing in February. The Mixed Chorus is made up of hft mem- bers, the majority of whom are pictured below. Page 47 Due to the lack of men on the campus, Prof. George Wilner had to give up the idea of plays for the rest of the school year. Only two productions were given. He used in the last play Mr. William Hewitt, a faculty member, to make up for the shortage of young men. During the Christmas holidays several one act plays were to be presented; but due to the resignations of the cast, Mr. Wilner was not able to produce them. Drama work requires an abundance of time for rehearsals. This has been the most difficult year so far, according to Mr. Wilner. YES AND NO The season began with Yes and No, by Ken- neth Home; one of the most amusing and enter- taining plays seen in recent years according to the critics. The characters in the play were both quaint and colorful. Mrs. Webb, played by Virginia Pop- kins, was the housekeeper for the Jarrow family, added many highlights to the play. Dr. Wilner took Robert Massey ' s place as the Reverend Jarrow who with his forgetfulness brought many laughs when he forgot where he was going or why he was going. Mr. Massey was a guest player, but un- able to participate because of conflicting sched- ules. LaWanda Foulston played the part of Emma Jarrow, wife of the Rector of Upper Werton. Marilyn Wheeler was the youngest daughter, while Meredith Fraker played the eldest daughter. Adrain Marsh, friend of the family, was played by Jim Cash. Russell Moss played Rev. Mr. Bags- holt, the Curate. Both daughters were of marriagable age, and no one knows this more than their mother who was quite anxious to see them married. They, however, were more interested in music and dra- matics than prospective suitors. Therefore the elder daughter refused her suitor when he asked her to marry him and go to Persia with him. Complications arose when the rejected suitor turned to the younger daughter for consolation and got it. They fall in love and then the elder ? daughter changes her mind and decides to accept him. How he got out of this entanglement pre- sented many amusing moments. PRIVATE LIVES Final chance to see campus talent was seen in Private Lives, by Noel Coward, which is no- thing more than harmless, rather trivial, most en- tertaining comedy manner. Private Lives was a well known Broadway hit, and it gave the cast something to work with. The cast showed a great deal of talent and put over a grand production. Mr. Coward himself admits that it is not among his best plays. Yet it is entertaining, it has an abundance of good lines and a big dose of plain farce; it was indeed the best thing that had hap- pened in the dramatics department this season. The cast of Private Lives did themselves proud. Katherine Nash, as Amanda, was in char- acter as a perfect sophisticate. William Hewitt, as Elyot, turned in a grand performance. The role of Elyot would have been difficult for a stu- dent actor to carry off. It demanded a maturity that only a faculty member could be capable of giving it. lone Jones and Willard Welsh as Sibyl and Victor gave Miss Nash and Mr. Hewitt strong support. Louise, Marie Powell, was the French maid of Amanda. Elyot and Amanda had been married, divorced, and each one had remarried again. They all turned up honeymooning at a French resort, and then the fun began. While out on the terrace Elyot and Amanda got one look at each other and decided the divorce was a mistake. They took off for Amanda ' s flat in Paris and from then on the play was just one big family quarrel. There were fre- quent spells of making up. The play moved rapid- ly, and in spots was quite hilarious. No matter how skilled the leads of any cast may be, they cannot carry a whole performance alone, fine work by the entire cast insured the success of Private Lives. James Noon and Rex Norton did a fine job in setting up and fixing the scenery for both of the plays. Congratulations are in order to Schwab Major, Jr., who did a good job on producing the lighting effects for Private Lives and Yes and No. Jean Stoll and Mildred McCoy took charge of the properties for both plays.

The University of Wichita de- baters carried on, in spite of loss of most of the squad to the draft and aircraft plants. Four tourna- ments were attended. In December two men ' s and one women ' s team entered three divisions of the Texas University Invitational. Each team tied for first place in its division. In February five debaters attended the non-decision tournament and discus- sion conclave at Denver. In late Feb- ruary two men ' s teams went to the Nebraska University Invitational, ranking with the top teams of the tournament by winning eleven of their twelve debates. In March mixed teams attended the Missouri Valley Forensic League annual tournament, placing third in total wins and second on the negative side of the question. Jim Noone was chosen outstanding speaker at the tournament, John Megamn was ranked tied for second place by the judges. A successful season! The effect of the war was to dras- tically reduce the size of the squad. Only ten people saw action. Four were elected to Delta Sigma Rho; Virginia Crosswhite, John Megaffin, Jim Noone and Allen Monroe are the new members. Page 50 • - -SA 0 Compacts toe Bu For ' Y ' Scrap Dthte p.

The I. S. A., as it is known, is the only national social organization at the University. A small group ot stu- dents formed an organization called the Barbs in 1936. In 1939 the Barbs joined the National Inde- pendent Association and became known as the I. S. A. In 1941 the girls obtained the Brig as their club house. In the tall, a group of Independent men formed a cooperative house, entitled Mann House. The men ' s division holds its meetings here. The I. S. A. entertained at several monthly mixers during the year. The men ' s division had charge ot the Voodoo Revel, a Halloween par ty, while the girls again presided at the Barb Wire Tangle, , n overall and apron dance. A Homecoming Tea was given for all former Inde- pendent students of the University. The general organization enter- tained at their annual Christmas semi-formal in the Univer sity Com- mons. The women ' s division gave a Faculty Tea this spring and honored their mothers at a Mother ' s Day Tea in their house. The social calendar of the year closed with the I. S. A. spring dance. A large number of Independents achieved campus recognition for their accomplishments. Four men were members of Blue Key, Quentin Isely, Edgar Crum, Doyle Koontz and Gene Mitzel. Ed Costello, Kath- erine Easterly and Victor Hyden were representatives to the Student Council. Betty Alford was elected as Home- coming Queen. Roberta Cornwell and Catherine Schermuly were edi- tors of the Sunflower. Rosalie Green- berg was recording secretary ot the Student Forum. Five I. S. A. members were listed in Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities, including I dgai Crum, Quentin Isely, Doyle Koontz, Rosalie Greenberg, and Catherine Schermuly.

' Umi By Martin Perry Beginning its first full year in wartime, the Uni- versity of Wichita military science department placed emphasis strictly upon wartime activities. One of the most important of the training phases of the R. O. T. C. was the physical training course given each afternoon to those men wishing it. The training consisted of tumbling, judo, calesthenics, obstacle run- ning, and cross-country races. This was taught by Lt. Thurlow Lieurance, Jr. According to Lieutenant Lieurance, the so-called Commando course had a two-fold purpose. First, to put the men in the best condition possible ; and, second, to instruct them so that they could give similar training to others in the future. About 30 students were in the class. Eleven seniors finished their military work in Janu- ary, 1943. They were Cadet Lt. Col. Robert F. Hudson, Cadet Maj. Marsh L. Jacoby, Cadet Capt. Jack M. Ma- loney, Cadet Capt. Warren E. Tomlinson, Cadet Capt. John T. Cannon, Cadet Capt. William W. Beuttel, Cadet Capt. Robert M. Sutton, Cadet Capt. Max Ko- cour, Cadet Capt. Lawrence J. Voegeli, Cadet Capt. Leonard S. Dixon, Cadet First Lt. Harold Brammer, and Cadet Lt. James F. Ralstin. Lt. Col. Horace K. Heath this year continued his work as professor of military science and tactics. New to the campus was Capt. Otis I. Melcher, instructor, who replaced Lt. Wallace W. Wilkins on the military staff in October. Page 72 • In August, 1942, Staff Sgt. Ernest R. Mylke of the stall was promoted to the rank of first lieutenant and became an instructor. Sgt. Charles S. Ryburn, Jr., re- placed Mylke as instructor on the rifle range. Mylke took the place of Lt. Charles I . Dunn. Lt. Thur- low Lieurance continued as n instructor and Sgt. John Lovold was office clerk. Although only one gal- lery match was held in which a team from the University participated this year, considerable rifle training was given. Ser- geant Ryburn instructed both men and women and a rifle team from Cessna Aircraft Company. The University rifle team was captained by Cadet Sgt. Francis Hesse. It placed seventh in the Seventh Service Command Inter- collegiate Gallery Matches. Cadet officers for the second semester were: Lt. Col. Mack W. Worden, Maj. Royal A. Watson, Capt. Robert A. Korsmeier, Capt. Earl R. Klaus, Capt. Wallace A. Marsh, Capt. Clifford F. Drown, Capt. Billie E. Clothier, Capt. Richard K. Webber, Capt. William R. Hattan, First Lieut. Elwood B. Appling, First Lieut. Basil C. Carter, First Lieut. James S. Gar- vey, First Lieut. Robert D. Gensch, First Lieut. Wil- liam R. Griffith, Jr., First Lieut. Jack C. Harper, First Lieut. James C.

The year of 1942-43 was one of unusual developments in Scabbard and Blade. Pledges were named in the early fall after a stag held for all jun- ior R. O. T. C. men. These pledges were initiated in December, and were honored at the annual Scabbard and Blade formal military ball in January. Real constructive work was ac- complished by the pledges in their shortened pledgeship. Models of vari- ous guns used by the United States Army were made to scale by the pledges, including a rifle, machine gun, and mortar. This year a com- pany guidon was made and a hand- carved and painted placque of all Scabbard and Blade alumni in the service was presented to the com- pany. It now hangs in the office of Col. Horace K. Heath, sponsor of the organization. On the cross-country hike with full field equipment. Scabbard and Blade pledges and actives learned much about the real conditions en- countered in a military march. In the spring, however, Scabbard and Blade adopted an entirely new policy and purpose. Because it was felt that in time of war, no R.O.T.C. man should be den ied the privilege of Scabbard and Blade, the fraternity adopted a plan of inviting all men on advanced contract to its meetings, when actives of the organization presented lectures. At these meetings, the future of- ficers learned night patrolling, the use of the compass, map reading, and various information needed for the three day hike to Lake Waltana. Page 74 • On the hike, the climax oi the new program, advanced R. O. T. C. men learned the duties ot an officer on a march and in camp, and utilized newly acquired in- formations on maps, compasses, tent-pitching, con- ducting a march, preparation of meals, and night and day problems over unfamiliar terrain. Tims this year, Scabbard and blade served a valu- able function oi better preparing men from the Uni- versity R. O. T. C. for their life in the army. Upon completion of the school year of 1942-43 Scabbard and Blade will disband for the duration of the war. Hi hi are just .1 few snap shuts that every Scabbard and Blade man will recognize, from Captain Kocour showing what a man he is to Jim Garvey in Commando training.

Whock club was governed by an inter- fraternity council made up of a repre- sentative from each of the four faternities and T. S. A. The inter-council was organized by the presi- dent this year to establish a representative con- trol of the Whock Club and to rid the pep club of political maneuvering so that all men of the University of Wichita might join in its activities. Over 150 men were actively participating in the organization during the football season. The Whock Club, together with Wheaties, took a leading part in general homecoming activities and pep rallies before and after the games. The club did its part in rousing school spirit not only at football and basketball games but also in any all-school activities. Officers President C. W.

After scheduling three weekly series of broadcasts over local sta- tions, plans had to be cancelled before the first broadcasts were held. However, the arrival of the army air corps brought about the scheduling of a series of weekly broad- casts from the Auditorium stage. Each week a name band currently playing at the Blue Moon came to the auditorium for the broadcast. Graham Fletcher of KFH was master of ceremonies, and student groups provided variety features of the various programs, large crowds of students and army men filled the auditorium for each broadcast, all of which were recorded and placed on file for future use of radio classes.

The con- clusion of this year ' s Shocker season disagreed with the anticipated results. Led by Coach Gra- ham, and assisted by line Coach John Olmstead and Scout Mel Binford, the 1942 Shocker grid- sters produced a victorious football season, which reached a conclusion on Thanksgiving Day, re- cording five wins and four losses, against teams which had tremendous odds in outweighing the Shockers an average of from 20 to 55 pounds in every game, in being outclassed in every depart- ment, and in encountering larger teams with greater experience. • Pa,(;r93 This year ' s squad was indeed entirely different from Shocker squads in the past. With the lack of material the freshmen ruling was abolished, making it possible for coaches to substitute fresh- men for the insufficient varsity material and also causing this year ' s squad to be the youngest in the history of the University. The average age this season was 18.5 years, the line was green and light, and only four backfield men returned. In spite of these difficulties the fight of the team brought comments like this one of George Cole, Univer- sity of Arkansas athletic director, The Shocker football team that played us this year displayed fine spirit, good sportsmanship, throughout the game they always had plenty of hustling and drive, and Lyle Sturdy and Bill Moriconi were two of the finest football players that I have ever seen. Finishing his collegiate football career against Utah State Thanksgiving Day with a showing that drew praise from visiting Coach Dick Rom- ney and members of the Farmer squad who op- posed him, Lyle Sturdy, fullback, brought his home game yardage total on rushing plays to 402 yards. The Hugoton Hare, as he was called by St. Louis fans who saw him, set a national record for his 100 yard return of a kickoff against Wash- ington University of St. Louis, Mo. He carried the ball 67 times in piling up his yardage which gives him a net gain per play an average of exactly 6 yards. Against Kansas State, Sturdy showed his heels to Big Six competition for an average of 6.81 yards. Emporia State players were dazed when he ran back a kickoff 8 5 yards for a Shocker tally. Sturdy ' s presence, whether on the practice field or in game uniform, was always an inspira- tion for new hustle and new drive, his football personality is one which will long be remembered by all who have played with him. Although knee and ankle injuries kept John Hyndman and last year ' s top scorer, Don Hollar, from the line-up the greater part of the season, they went to town for the Shockers, with Hollar passing, and Hyndman on the receiving end of their famous aerial attacks. Probably the two most aggressive players who played Shocker football were Bill Moriconi, guard, and Paul Stout, tackle, who was called to the Army Air Corps in mid-season. These boys, together with Kocour, end, Warwick, guard, and Nuckolls, tackle, paved the road to a Shocker tally many time. With hustle never latent, the Shocker football team under the leadership of Ralph Graham finished its season with a victorious record. ; ftc i .4 5. !-  %.--£ % j Merii 9 intfiamtA ial li Pete Greenbank Intramura] spurts created unusual in- terest regardless of the war-time con- ditions on the campus tins year.

Babb and Crum, Ramblers, won the tennis doubles. Hand- ball doubles were not finished until Liter in the season. This was captured by Crepps and Koontz, Ramblers. In volleyball, the top rating team was Phi Sig with the Fac- ulty in second place. Ping-pong champion was Bob Gensch, Alpha Gamma Gamma. This was Gensch ' s second ping-pong championship. He de- feated Joe Brock, Alpha dam, two out ot three games in the finals with the follow- ing results: 21-18, 18-21, and 24-22. Gensch went through the entire tourna- ment undefeated. Don McKay and Bill Kessler, Phi Sigs, won the ping-pong dou- bles championship. Intramural basketball displayed the most spirit of all sports with all the fra- ternities, including the faculty team, en- tering the contest. All fraternities except Men ot Webster had two teams out. The games were started in the latter part of January and closed the first part of March. The Gamma A team came through with fly- ing colors to take first place in basketball. Their last game was with the Phi Sig A team on February 18, which ended in the Gam- ma ' s favor 63-S. Gamma A ' s were unde- feated. The Rambler A team followed in second place with the Gamma B team third. Swimming was held at East High pool on March 4.

Womeni J Mtfazjmtriali By Mary Frances Jameson Gym work for the fairer sex took on a more serious aspect than ever before this year when a physical fitness program parallel to the national war effort program was started under the guidance of Gladys Taggart and Clara Nicholas, the women ' s physical education in- structors. Ann McLean, I. S. A., acted as intra- mural manager for the 1942-43 season. Second semester it was suggested that only girls with restrictions could take archery; the others participate in team sports and other more active sports. Horseback riding and swimming were two newcomers added to the curriculum. Hockey was the main fall sport. Not enough brave souls ventured out for the nine intramural hockey practices so no tournament was held this year. The usual Thanksgiving morning game with Friends was cancelled for the same reason. But from the looks of the battered hockey sticks and bruised shins those practices and class games played at Fairmount Park should go down in history. Just ask the manager, Betty Ann Mc- Clure, Alpha Tau. Out of almost 100 candidates for the pitching title Pat Henning, I. S. A., won the championship in the horseshoes tournament. Marjorie Duncan, Delta Omega, ran a close second, and Mable Grace Groth, also an I. S. A., took third place. Mid-winter sports interests were at their height by the time the volleyball season rolled around and a fast and furious tournament was climaxed by the I. S. A. flashes copping the title. Alpha Tau, Pi Kap, and Delta Omega came through with a triple tie for second honors. Betty Ely, Sorosis, was volleyball manager. The varsity was selected on the basis of ability and attendance of the nine practices. The mem- bers of the varsity are Janice Cooper, Marjorie Duncan, Georgia Janes, Ruth MacCormick,Ruth Mayfield, Margaret Parham, Margherita Riddel, and Margaret Walling. The alternates are Doro- thy Wallace, Virginia Schroeder, and Margaret Adams. A four-week session was held for the bowling fiends to determine the intramural champions. The Pi Kap foursome won the crown with their high scores, and Delta Omega came in second. Under the management of Margaret Walling, Alpha Tau, a basketball tournament was started. Nine practices were held — the first game was played — then the blow fell. Army Air Corps cadets were quartered in both gyms. Dozens of cots were jammed on the basket- ball court, stage, and even graced (?) the bal- conies. Baskets and lockers were hastily torn out, and equipment was tossed in the general direction of the auditorium. When the dust cleared the women ' s gym office was found in the former speech office in the audi- torium. Former stage dressing rooms were used as locker rooms. Some classes such as modern dance were held on the stage. The team sports and ten- nis and badminton classes suffered from calis- thenics until the weather permitted outdoor ac- tivities. Archery equipment was installed in the ticket house near the open range on the football field. Feminine physical education had undergone a drastic change and came up better than ever. After a month of uncertainty the basketball tournament was resumed at the East High girls ' gym. But because of this long delay the results didn ' t make the yearbook deadline. Page 91 J - Badminton addicts signed up .incl .1 tournament was started. But the winner will remain one ol the mysteries l the century. After the shake-up the tourna- ment was discontinued for lack of facilities. The usual ping- pong tournament was cancelled for the same reason. When Rifle Club is men- tioned the thoughts of envious would-be-sharpshooters usually turn to the Delta Omega clan who managed to win the rifle intramurals for the SIXTH consecutive year. Just where do they get that type of priority? Their team of four girls won three out of four matches to cinch the round. There was no Kemper meet this year, so six out of the twelve highest club shooters shot a match with the campus boys. The deadline cut out these re- sults also. The Rifle Club officers this year were Ruth Marshall, Delta Omega, president; Mar- garet Walling, Alpha Tau, vice- president; Mildred Ransom, Pi Kap, secretary-treasurer; and Betty Deshler, Alpha Tau, man- ager. The captain of the team was Anna Louise Rowan, Delta Omega. Plans were made tor archery and tennis tournaments this spring. Betty Judy was to be in charge of the archery matches. The baseball tournament under the management of Mary Ann West was to begin early in April. meet managed by Katie Krehbiel, scheduled for April 12. A swimming And so with the scores of these unfinished Sorosis, was games and the mysterj oi the winning of the sports plaque haunting us, we meet the deadline. • P, Mcd U c Matrix — a society of women journalists on the campus, completed an- other successful year under the sponsorship of Mrs. Leo W. Allman. The annual founder ' s day dinner, many picnics, and interesting meetings marked the social calendar for the year. The officers of first semester were: Frances Blume, president; Roberta Corn well, vice-president; and Catherine Schermuly, secretary. Second semester were: Margaret Burress, president; Phyllis Merry, vice-president; and Pat Malone, secretary. Members include: Jean Finney, Earline Duke, Marjorie Graham, Marjorie Johnson, Barbara Slusser, Betty Rieniets, Terry Erich, Virginia Braitsch and Marie Martin. Comething new in campus radio entertainment was started here when the first Shocker Service Show was presented from the auditorium on Monday evening, March 22, and broadcast through Radio Station KFH. Using the theme Something for the Boys the program was created especially for the newly ar- rived Army Air Corps students and Shocker men in military reserves. The first program featured Chuck Foster and his orchestra with soloist Dottie Dotson stealing the show along with Maj. H. J. Watters, commanding officer of the air corps unit. Other programs featured Verne Nydegger and his Cessna Orchestra; Jack Teagarden and his Band that plays the Blues ; Jimmy Richards and his Silken Swing orchestra, and Bob Strong ' s orchestra. Something for the Boys was made possible through the joint cooperation of the Blue Moon, its manager, John Dotson, Radio Sta- tion KFH and the Univer- sity. Radio Station KFBI also cooperated in efforts to place the program on the Kansas Network. Believed to be the first program of its kind emanating from a college campus, it is ex- pected to be a Monday night feature on the Shock- er campus for the duration.

After the last war, the shrewd old Prussian put his finger on one prime reason for Germany ' s defeat: America ' s brilliant war industry had entered the service of patriotism. . . . They under- stood war. Now history is repeating itself or Hindenburg ' s successor ' . America ' s war industry again is pouring out planes, t anks and guns — meet- ing production goals that seemed fantastic at first. Back of this fast-growing mili- tary power is electric power — far more power than Hitler and all his henchmen have — turning the machines that turn out every- thing from bullets to battleships. Behind the great bulk of this power are the electric companies under experienced business management — doing their job and delivering electric power in ever-increasing quantities! And back of it all, of course, is the American way of life at work — where free men are encouraged to invent, invest, produce, and everybody benefits. KANSAS Ml ELECTRIC COMPANY INVEST IN AMERICA!...
