Regular meetings are both social and ed- ucational with occasional outside speakers. The outstanding aim this year was to become more firmly established as a professional club. One of our projects was making and selling Christmas cards. Those receiving diplomas are: Nellie Bay, Geraldine Craven, Frances Fletcher, Bernice l-lillhouse, Dorothy Ludwick, Betty lX4cLands- borough, Edna Mae Rankin, Wanda Reckten- wald, Dorothy Smith, Percy Welch, Clarice Wetter, Viola Whyle. Dr. Lulu Marie jenkins, director of Elc- mentary Education, is the sponsor of the group and has done much to build up this department on the campus. l I Christian .

The Christian Workers group is one of the largest and most active organizations on the campus. It is composed of individuals who Wish training in some type of active Christian work, not necessarily the ministry, but service in all fields of life. There are regular meetings each month which consist of a short business meeting, re- ports from gospel teams and other work, and the devotional service. Special speakers from the city and Yearly Meeting have been engaged. There are three fields of service, and each member may express his preference for one or more of them. Some are engaged in the Sunday School classes at College Avenue Church or at H Street church in Oskaloosa, and others participate in the gospel teams which go out to many different churches in the Yearly Meeting.

The International Relations Club is an organization composed ol students and faculty members who are concerned with world situa- tions. The meetings are held the hrst Tuesday of each month. The war in Europe at the present time has enlarged our field ol interest greatly. Guest speakers have aided us in understand- ing its causes and development thus lar, and the club has discussed the policy ol neturalitv for the United States. Early in the winter Kirby Page spoke in the city on the Pacifists' position now and il we become involved in war, His message, which was a most practical application ol the teach- ings ol another Pacihst, clearly showed the trend ol world conditions and the duties we must face. Emily Parkers presence on the campus was of special interest since she had spent the past few years in American Friends Service Committee reconstruction work in Spain. The visit of Clarence Pickett and other Eastern Friends was a great day on the campus, and large groups from all over lowa were ample evidence ol internationally minded people. All college classes were dismissed lor those who wished to attend the lectures, and many took advantage ol the opportunity. As executive secretary ol the American lfriends Service Committee, Nlr. Pickett is prolwabl3' one of the best informed men in America today in regard to world affairs. Another visitor whom we shall not lorget was Bud Waite, celebrated radio operator on Admiral Byrds hazardous expedition related so vividly in 'iAlone. The story ol his ad- ventures and the pictures which verihed them were intensely thrilling, and also of interest was the dog.

The Young Mens Christian Association has endeavored in various ways throughout the past year to accomplish the aims set forth in our purpose of promoting Clean Morals, Clean Athletics, and Clean Scholarship. Every effort set forth has been made in the light of a strong religious background and in an atmos- phere of service to fellow-students, At the very beginning of the school year a number of letters of welcome were sent to young men who planned to come to Penn. This was followed up by the traditional re- ception on the last night of freshman week sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. organizations. Two highlights in the athletic program were an Athletic Carnival consisting of boxing, wrestling and tumbling and a stag party at the city Y where an evening was spent in bowling, games and swimming. At Halloween the two Y organizations sponsored a masquerade party in the basement of the Chapel which was a great success. Many were the clever and horrible masks, and in- genious sound and lighting effects added con- siderably to the 'atmosphere' Much credit is due Virginia Henning and Arthold Latham, 1 l 24, . Zire the two social chairmen, for good times they have put over. The weekly meetings have been planned with the intention of securing noted speakers from the city on subjects relating to our three aims. Several discussion groups and forums supplemented with slides and reels for addi- tional cultural purposes have also been pro- vided. One of our outstanding speakers was George Roth from Pasadena, California, who visited the campus from a thirty-day peace conference at Pendle Hill, near Philadelphia. He emphasized the need for careful thought and planning on the part of youth today on problems to be confronted should the United States ever become involved in another war. Later he suggested the possibility of a branch service committee becoming actively organi- zed in Iowa if young people and especially col- lege students are willing to assume the re- sponsibility. The Y. M. has worked jointly with the Y. W. in sponsoring Vesper services at such occasions as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. These are made possible by the co- operation of the speech and music departments. Y. W. C. A. ESTABLISHED 1884. The local student Y. W. C. A. is closely afhliated with the national organization. We have kept in touch with other student groups and were represented at the Palisades State Conference and at the Regional Conference held at Lake Geneva. The membership of the Penn Y. W. C. A. has included about seventy-hve per cent of the total number of women enrolled in school this year. All functions have been well attended and excellent cooperation has been in evidence. The most unique social affair was thc All-college Leap Year Banquet of February 9. Also the Formal Opening Reception and the Halloween Party, under the direction of both Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., were high points socially. The Thanksgiving and Christmas Vespers were outstanding in an inspirational way. Before Christmas the World Fellowship committee sent boxes of toys to the Lynndale Girls' School at Highgate, jamaica. The Tuesday morning meetings have been periods of devotion combined with intelligent discussion of Christianity and everyday pro- blems. Where special speakers have been on the campus, we have enjoyed meeting jointly with the Y. W. C. A. Several outstanding speak- ers were Dr. Harold Cooper of Marion, In- diana, George Roth of Pasadena, California, and Emily Parker, American Friends Service worker from Spain. The cabinet members of Y. W. C. A. are as follows: President, Alice joncsg First V. President, Lillian Anderson, Second V. Presi- dent, Margaret McCracken, Secretary, Doris Chambers, Treasurer, Miriam Byerlyg Pianist, Mary Martha Hoar, and Faculty Advisers, IX4iss Mattison and Mrs. Nagler. The committees and their chairmen are as follows: Creative Christianity, Dorothy Smith, Campus Service, Zula johnstong Fir'- ance, Geraldine Craven, Membership, Eliza- beth Gordong lvlusic, Thelma Johnson, Pub- licity, Barbara Nichols, Social, Virginia Hen- ning, and World Fellowship, Ellen Lee Tatum.

The rearrangement in the library has made it possible for the librarian and the staff to do more student advisory and reference work. Because of limited quarters the debate group has met for conference in the library office where material on their subject has been placed for their use. The total circulation of books, magazines and pamphlets Cexclusive of reserved mater- ialsj for the Hrst six months of the year was 7,558 This exceeded last year's circulation for the same time by 2,6l2. The reserve cir- culation has been approximately the same. The bulletin board displays have helped the students and faculty to choose books and magazines dealing with the various holiday subjects and world events featured. The Pres. Llc0N.xkn V. Pres. N. REX'NOLlIb Sec'y-Treas. M. Brmux members of the staff assume this responsibility in turn with Ruth Iris l-leald to make posters. Miss Mary Chauner has sent several worth while books, both new ones and old classics, from her personal library. This is one of many gifts she has sent to the college library. Several books have also been re- ceived as gifts of alumni authors. Miss Betts, the librarian, has a large staff of student helpers this year: Neva Reynolds, Margaret McCracken, Byrda Leonard, Dale DeVault, Louie Dye, Ellen Lee Tatum, Mir- iam Byerly, Glenn Forsythe, Mary Earl, Leta Snively and Orin Bell. The dinner meetings, and picnics have been continued infrequently this year. At the dinner meetings new books and also arti- cles of professional interest have been dis- cussed. College Council ESTABLISI leo 1873. The college council is a student govern- ing organization consisting of representatives from organizations, classes, and faculty. lt meets the first Weclnesday' of every month in the Womens Residence Building to discuss student interests, problems, and relations with the faculty members. The past year the point system has been revised and put into effect. According to the new plan each student is limited to extra cur- ricular activities according to the grade points of the preceding semester. lt is believed that this will make for more thorough accomplish- ments and better division of responsibilities. The Council planned Homecoming, Nov- eember 10, 1939, one ofthe major events of the calendar, and especially so this time as the new neon sign presented by thc class of 1939 was dedicated. They rearranged the college calendar that all organizations may have a dehnitc night in the month to hold their various meetings. These meetings must close at a specihed hour to prevent conHicts with other activities. The group sponsored the Presidents Birthday Banquet March 4, at which time the students presented Dr. McGrew with a Toast-lvlaster. They planned and successfully executed Campus Day, the annual clean-up day of the year. Students and faculty cooperated whole- heartedly to give the college the best possible appearance and nature the best possible in- centive. They have been concerned with a Tri- College picnic to include john lfletcher, Cen- tral, and Penn. At the present time com- mittees have been appointed and it is hoped plans will materalize. Affairs of this sort should promote better intercollegiate under- standing and friendship. TOP Row--McGraw, Rus- sell. R. Renaud, Streeter. Bainbridge, Kiester. Min- uuc Row-F. A.

The membership is open to all girls interested in any phase of Home Econ- omics regardless of whether or not they are enrolled in courses pertaining to this particu- lar field. The year started with a hamburger fry welcoming the new members, held on the old Penn campus grounds. The study theme was Short Courses for Prospective Brides Cand hopeful Optimistsj. At the meetings business people spoke on such topics as china, silver, and phases of interest to future homemakers. Picnics, pot-luck dinners, and parties were enjoyed, and at Christmas time the club made scrap books for hospital children. The April meeting was a tea in honor of club members' mothers at which a musical program was given. At the May meeting new officers were installed, and club pins presented to the senior members.

There is a self-governing association whose duty it is to enforce rules and inflict dis- cipline if necessary.

One ol the most outstanding events of the year was Open House, Friday evening, April 5. After hours of painstaking house- cleaning, the girls were able to display spotless rooms which were most attractive-if not realistic. Toi- Roxvw CTo1Fm, Earl. Johnston, frumlmaugh.

The Pep Club has proven itself really worthy of its name this year and deserves rec- ognition for the loyalty it has manifested at the intercollegiate contests. The purpose of the organization is to promote pep and enthusiasm on the campus by conducting pep meetings and attending games in a body wearing uniform costumes. The past year the colors have been changed from blue and white to blue and gold in ac- cordance with college colors. The club has honored the athletes at the end of each season by entertaining them at special dinners. ln the Homecoming Parade in November the Pep Club float placed second, and a mem- ber of the group, Betty Edwards, gracefully carried off the honors as Homecoming Queen. The club is greatly indebted to the cheer leaders, Tommy Crawford, Moana Mclfarlin and Bernice Alcorn, for their enthusiasm and skill in direc-ting the yells, Penn Letter C lub ESTABLISHED 1938, Although still relatively new as an active organization, the Penn Letter Club has at- tempted to again organize all varsity letter- men on the campus. All those who have re- ceived their varsity awards are automatically members ol' the club. At Christmas time they sponsored a Penn Varsity vs. Penn Alumni basketball game. Many of the former Penn star basketballers were on hand to provide the competition. As a result of this, it will become an annual affair. Those initiated at the semester were: Albert Shepherd, Dick Rabenold, Cwib Ed- wards, Cverald Hiatt, Kenneth Stanfield, Leslie Wilkening and ,lim Sells. Other members in- clude: Chuck Bainbridge, Bob Renaud, Cer- ald Andersen, Dale DeVault, Amby Dollar, Louie Dye, Herbert Heald, Eddie Ver Steeg, Frank Dillon, Bruce Harley, Olin Byerly, Robert Kenoycr, Pat Schluek, Vernon lwloeh- ring, Emmett Evans, Bill Bryan, Bob Roe, Lloyd Stevenson, Tommy Crawford, Bill Trent, Roy Clark, Eugene fXflcCormick and Harold Rubv.

Tkjfkj sql 1918. ie!William Penn College Band of 1939- has probably been the most outstanding in the history of the school. Under the direction of Murray Baylor ably assisted by Orley Anderson, a Marching Band was organized composed of twenty- four students. They gave a most remarkable performance at the Central-Penn football game when they exhibited their formations at the half to the large crowd of Homecomers. lt was not at all surprising that they won the Hrst prize in the Homecoming parade, but those practices on a dusty lawn sometimes in exceedingly chilly weather more than merited this recognition.

The regular band played for several basketball games and accompanied commun- ity singing. ln February they gave a most entertaining chapel program including, in addition to group selections, one number with Ben Shepherd as solo singer. The German Band has been very popular this year at pep meetings and basketball games away from Oskaloosa where the regular band was unable to go. Much credit is due the freshmen for the talent they have furnished, and it is to be hoped that next years class will assist in building up an even more remarkable band. The three drum majors, Dolores Shauger, Beverly Briggs and Orley Anderson, are all freshmen. Choir ESTABLISHED 1918. The Quaker Choir is composed of about forty men and women students on the campus, They have participated in several func- tions the past year,probably the most outstand- ing of which was l-landel's lNlessiah under the direction ol Professor Baylor. Fletcher students and Gskaloosa singers cooperated in the production. A special group of fifteen voices presented 1 an Easter Cantata, i'The Seven Last Words of Christ, shortly belore Easter Vacation. The major production of the year was Gilbert and Sullivans Operetta 'il-l. lvl. S. Pinaforen presented in the Spencer Memorial Chapel under the direction ol lklurray Baylor and Mrs. Nagler. Nlajor parts were inter- preted by Ben Shepherd, Herbert Heald, Roy Clark, Thelma johnson, Roy Tallman, Her- man Crayton. Phillip Helley. lfsther Mac Kin- dig, and Nlrs. Nagler.

Miss lvloe, the director of the Speech de- partment, has devoted a great deal of time to making the meetings more worthwhile and educational in technique of dramatic produc- tion, Bettie Edwards, the president first semest- er, has also done a great deal to build up the organization. The club meets once each month for an interesting program of some dramatic nature. These give the students experience in acting and play production, The November meeting was in the form of Eighteenth century entertainment with everyone wearing suitable costume and hair- dress. They revived the Virginia Reel and old square dances and had a merry time for a few hours, Drama The Christmas party was held in the Drawing Room with an exchange of gifts and entertainment in accordance with the Christ- mas season. The acting class presented a group of plays as a Drama Club Beneht early in the winter. These included 'Trouble in Tunnel Nine, a coal mine story presented by lfrank Dillon, Pete Hudson, Bill Pace, and Phil Hef- leyg 'iViolin Maker of Cremonaf' an eighteenth century production, was east by Paul Mitchell, Sam Kime, Helen Hook, and Bob Kenoyerg Spot Cash, a modern skit representing the general untrustworthiness of human nature, was played by Tommy Crawford, Bettie Ed- wards, and ,Jerry Johnson, Nl y l. ad y Dreams, a psychological phantasy, was in- terpreted by Esther Mae Kindig, ,lean Gillam, Peggy Cheairs, Edith Ragan, Wilma Russell, and ,lean Bunting.

Club Two other members of the Drama Club, Paul Mitchell and Bob Kenoyer, gave a most gripping presentation of T h e Unknown Soldier Speaks in November. The story takes place at Arlington cemetery at the shrine of the Unknown Soldier one evening at dusk. The soldier reveals his identity as the misrepresented soldier from every nation who sacrifices his life and all its potential happiness for an idealism which never existed. This was presented at many Oskaloosa churches and others as well, including Des Moines. In addition to the plays mentioned, the club has cooperated in various college pro- grams, At the Christmas vespers they por- trayed biblical scenes with musical accompani- ment. The Nativity, The Coming of the Wise Nlenf' and 'iThe Coming of the Shep- herds were very beautifully represented. Other members presented skits and short plays at Opening Reception in the fall, ban- quet programs, and Open House. They as- sisted in producting l'The Rock, given at the Lenten service. lt is a representation ol the strength and weakness ol Peter's character and the final victory ol the lormer at the time ol the resurrection. The group was handicapped the second semester by the action ol' the college council in regard to the calendar. With no scheduled night for meetings, it was difhcult to find an open date, but they have done as well as pos- sible. Upon the resignation of Bettie Edwards, there has been no president elected and the ofhce of Vice President was vacant. Peggy Cheairs, as program chairman, assisted by Nliss Xloe, has acted as president the last semester until other officers could be elected. C50 Toe Row-Fletcher, Gil- bert, S. Jones. P.

The Womens Athletic Association is one of the most important college organizations for it aids the college girl in developing a well- rounded personality through interest in athle- tics. The promotion of good sportsmanship is one of the primary aims of the W. A. A., as are teamwork and reliability. The W. A. A. has been much more active this year than for several years previous, part- ly due to the fact that the physical education directoress, Mrs. Kirby, is a resident on the campus. Her interest and assistance have done much to promote the Association ae- tivities. The revised charter prepared this year by the officers of the Association with the help of Mrs. Kirby provides a much fairer system of awarding points than was used formerly. As usual however, 35 points in one year entitle a girl to her insignia. 45 points a numeral, 75 points award her a letter, and 135 points a blazer, There is a great variety of sports from which a girl may choose her activities. Swim- ming, hiking, tennis, soccer, basket ball, soft ball, track and gymnastics are some of the important sports for which points are awarded. Varsity, second, and squad teams are selected by the physical directoress, the presi- dent of the W. A. A. and a sports representa- tive chosen by the girls. These teams are composed of the best players and are chosen for sportsmanship as well as ability to play. The members of the Varsity team are awarded 15 points, second team members are given 10 points and squad team members are awarded 5 points. The climax of the years activities is the banquet held in iN4ay at which time awards for the years achievements are given. The an- nual May fete, a college tradition, is presented by the girls the same day. A senior girl is chosen queen and a senior boy is chosen car- dinal for the occasion which provides a fitting climax to the year's activity. Toi' Row-D. Ellis, Kir- by. BOTTOM Row- B.

The Green Peppers have really gone to town this yearl If you don't believe it, and ofcourse you do if youve been on the campus, just look at our record: Two ol the college yell leaders, Moana lvlcliarlan and Bernice Alcorn, were chosen from our group, We liked the old yells, but we thought there weren't enough of them so we spon- sored a yell contest-which another Green Pepper, Nadine Sparks, won. We were johnnie-on-the-spot Home- coming day, and took an active part in the parade. We were active supporters at the football and basketball games, and in our estimation we out-yelled any other group. That is, pre- sumably a matter of opinion, ol course. At the St. Ambrose game, the Green Peppers, among other groups, sent a telegram to the basketball squad to show our support and good wishes. We understand none ol the telegrams were received until alter the game, but our intentions were good! To help make money and as an insignia we bought green and white Penn pennants. which we carried at all the football games. Chronicle ESTABLISHED 1885. The Chronicle staff this year has attempt- ed to strive for several new goals. Knowing Paul Ellis, you would expect originality in his newspaper, wouldn't you? They have tried to enlist more student participation by the Letters to the Editors columns. The response has shown a large degree of interest in activities varying from the European war to--alarm clocks in Chapel. A strictly journalistic style has been fol- lowed on the front page with the news items, but the articles on the other pages have not necessarily conformed to such rules. This again has stimulated more student writing. There have been as many underclassmcn on the staff as possible in order to train for next year. Two of the department editors were freshmen who did their work well. ln order to make a more attractive Chroni- cle, a better quality of paper was used. The difference in appearance was certainly more than worth the small difference in price. TOP RowfVVilson, Mills, P. Ellis, Dillon, Bucking- h . Burrow R o xv if McCracken, Kincaid. The hrst semester the Chronicle sponsored a contest to discover creative writers on the Campus. Two 1040 Quakers were offered for the best original prose and poetry articles. These were won by Glenn lforsythe and Alice jones respectively. THE STAFF Editor-in-Chief .. ......

Briggs, Henning, Quaker ESTABLISHED 1893 CAuroraJe1905 tQuakerJ. Once again a yearbook has been published which the Junior Class has tried to make rep- resentative of William Penn College and the students. Many members of the class have worked hard and suffered many trials and dis- appointments in order to present a book with as few faults as possible and with results which they hope everyone likes. An historical theme was chosen for the Quaker to emphasize the excellent record of William Penn College and set forth clearly the traditional ideals. Historical dates were carc- fully compiled by competent members of the staff and the book divided into three sections based on the establishment of the present col- lege and its predecessors, If any mistakes in dates were made it is only because data in- formation was incorrect. Every organization on the campus is rep- resented in this annual, and there are only a very few students whose pictures do not ap- pear in some group. lf the facial expressions of some are not as flattering as the owner would wish, it is not necessarily the fault of the staff photographer but most likely due to individual carelessness. The staff would like to please everyone, but, according to the law of human nature, this is quite impossible. Several innovations have been made in the 1940 Quaker including double column type, character sketches of the Senior Class, arrangement of candid snapshots in the back of the book, and inclusion of ofhcers' pictures with almost every organization. Although these changes may seem radical to some, the staff feels confident that such changes will be pleasing to the majority. This year, as last, the annual became a member of the National Scholastic Press Association and as such is entitled to be judged and given a rating in the National Scholastic contest for college publications. Although the 1940 Quaker may not acquire a rating, it has tried to attain high rating standards. As the years go on succeeding Quaker staffs will proht from the experiences of former staffs until our annual will be recognized and rated with the Hnest of college yearbooks. Heres to the future of our college yearbook- 'fhc Quakerl T011 Row!P. Ellis, Mills, D. Morris, Kiester, F. A. Ellis. Minute Rowa- Crawford. McCormick, J. johnson, Latham. BOT- 'roM Row-Leonard, B.

They won three games, lost three, and tied two. Had it not been for injuries at the close of the season, especially in the final Dubuque game, the fighting Quakers might have won the conference. The potentially strong team lost a heart- breaking season opener when the Western Illinois State Teachers' squad sent a perfect dropkick spinning over the goal posts with but eight seconds left to play. Macomb had scored early in the game after receiving a Penn fumble deep in the latter's territory. Penn counted in the fourth period when Dick Raben- old ran a punt back hfty-five yards and Chuck Bainbridge carried the ball thirty yards to score. The Penn fellows drove deep into enemy ground on several occasions but lacked sufficient scoring punch and lost by a score of 6-9. The Upper Iowa game at Oskaloosa was the Hrst important Iowa Conference win for the Quakers in several years. They made the first touchdown in the third quarter, march- ing forty-four yards to a score. In the fourth quarter Bainbridge ran thirty-eight yards to the second yard line after intercepting an Upper Iowa pass. The Parsons game at Ifairfield was Hereely contested by both teams. Although behind at the half, the Blue and Gold rallied back Hghting to even up the count when Rabenold went over on an end sweep. Toi' ROW--VVhalin, VVi!kening, Stevenson, V. Moehring.

Pifteen hundred people witnessed a dc- cisive victory over Wartburg by a score of 25-13 at Oskaloosa. Penn got off to a leth- ergie start, but soon hit their stride and smoth- ered the northern Iowa Knights. They rolled up a nineteen to six first period lead and then coasted into victory. The high spot of the game was Bainbridges brilliant seventy-nine yard scoring run olf tackle in the fourth quar- ter. The game with Iowa Wesleyan at Mt, Pleasant was fortunate, for the enemy twice went over the final chalk mark only to be call- ed back on penalties. Consequently they fought to a scoreless deadlock. Penn moved to the Tiger ten-yard mark in the last half but lost on downs. The first conference loss of the season was the 27-13 defeat by Central to the disappoint- ment of the largest homecoming crowd ever to witness a Penn pigskin encounter. Raben- old counted Penn's first six points in the third quarter and Emmett Evans in the fourth, passing twenty-one yards to Bainbridge. The Dubuque game played there began with an early lead when Evans made a Hfty- one yard touchdown pass to Roe, but they were unable to hold it and lost their second and final loop tilt of the year. Emmett Evans, star Penn back, sustained a slight concussion of the brain at this game, but was not seriously injured. It was this game which cost the I Penn vs. Upper Iowa Quakers the conference title won by Central and Upper Iowa. Captain Andersen led the Quakers in 1039 and will be succeeded by co-captains for the first time in Penn history-Chuck Bainbridge and Dale DeVault. Bainbridge was again named on the Asso- ciated Press All-Conference team, Associated Press team, and also the Des Moines Register and Tribune All-Conference mythical eleven. Cappy NlcCormick and Kenneth Stanheld were given honorable mention. Only three lettermen will be missing next. yearvCaptain Andersen. Albert Shepherd, and Harold Ruby. Other lettermen are Co- eaptains Bainbridge and DeVault, McCormick, Schluck, Stevenson, I-Iiatt, Roe, Wilkening. Stanheld, Rabenold, Edwards, Sells, IVloeh- ring, and Evans. Coach W'halin was aided by Dennis Eman- uel who is a graduate of Notre Dame and a member of the 1938 All-Star Ifootball team.

In the final conference scoring check-up Bill Trent was fourth and Bob Roe fifth in scoring honors. Trent was named first team All-Conference center by the Associated Press and the Register and Tribune, and was second on the United Press team. Roe, Kiester, and Bainbridge, the captain, were also mentioned. The Old Cold and Blue won its first major tilt of the season when Bill Bryan rolled in a set-up with less than thirty seconds remaining in the Parsons game here. I-Iowever, even a magnificient last half comeback against Iowa Wesleyan wasn't enough to overcome the 34-32 decision. The Quakers trailed 22-11 at the intermission, but through the efforts of Bob Roe and Bill Trent almost turned the tide in the final moments. In the opinion of many the Penn-Simp- son clash here was the greatest game of the season. The final score was Penn 64, Simp- son 32 and probably was one of the supreme wins in a decade. TOP Row-Whalin, G. Edwards, Bainbridge Trent, Roe, Kiester The Penn team failed to get a .500 rating in the final conference standings when Parson nipped them 36v28 at Fairfield in the hnal game of the regular season schedule.

Although most of their games were confined to the league at the Y. lvl. C. A., they did play some out of town contests. Some of the under-classmen did very well and should prove good varsity material for Coach Whalen next year. Golf Although the golf team did not win a match, they did well considering the condi- tions existing. They had no tutelage or prac- tice field, and also it was the first year golf re- gained prominence at Penn for many years. On the team were Albert Shepherd, Quentin Fuhs, and Bob Glattly. Track The track squad, consisting of about five lettermen, did little placing in the meets. They did however, win their heat in the Drake re- lays, but only placed fifth in the final standing. Due to the smallness of the squad, they placed third in the triangular meet with Parsons, and Central, and garnished only two points at the Conference meet at Simpson, Andersen in the broad jump and Bainbridge in the javelin. Those earning letters were Captain Amby Dol- lar, Cerald Andersen, Chuck Bainbridge, and Henry Clay. l Bob Renaud at Bat Tennis Probably one of the most successful of the Penn athletic teams last year was tennis. This was attributed mostly to Bob Roe, Bill Stanton and Ralph Deadman. They went through the season with a perfect winning record in dual competition and went to the quarter- finals in the Conference meet at Dubuque. Baseball Although weather prohibited the playing of some of their games, the Quakers played eight games last year, winning three and losing five. They started the season by winning from Central but the other game was reversed in scoring. They likewise split games with Wart- burg. In the four game series with Simpson, they won one and lost the other three. Losing I-larris, catcher, and Sorden, short- stop, will hamper thecoming season somewhat, but a number of freshman recruits showed great promise. For the past season Bob Renaud, hard-slugging first sacker, was named honor- ary captain, and Frank Dillon, ace pitcher, and Cappy lVIcCormick, star third baseman, were named co-captains for the coming season. Those receiving letters in baseball were: Keith Harris, catcher, Frank Dillon, pitcher, Bill Bryan, pitcher, Bob Renaud, first base, Olin Byerly, second base, Myron Sorden, short- stop, Cappy McCormick, third base, Amby Dollar, left field, Don Kiester, center field, and Bob Kenoyer, right field.

The Penn Forensics group has worked hard this year to maintain the Pi Kappa Delta chapter which they have held for a number of years. At the Home Oratorical Contest in the fall, Fay Berringer placed Hrst with the read- ing The War Cod, Mars. Marjorie Moore placed second, and Orley Anderson third. These orations were exceptionally well organ- ized and showed much thought and research, Fay then representeduthe school at the State Peace Oratorical Conference at Pella, Decem- ber 8, and Peggy Cheairs in extemporaneous speaking. The debaters have also done well. Two teams consisting of Millard Mills, Roy Clark, john Elliott, and Paul Ellis debated at Kirks- ville, December lst and 2nd, winning two out of four rounds. Marjorie Moore entered under the poetry reading division. Sec'y G. M. JOHNSON The debate question for the year was Resolved: That the United States Should fol- low a policy of strict economic and military isolation toward all nations outside the west- ern hemisphere engaged in armed international or civil conflict. At various times the Penn debaters have entertained groups from other schools and de- bated with them. Central, Ottawa, Simpson, Wartburg, MacMurry, Fletcher, and Carthage have participated in such debates here, and Penn has been a guestof Central and Fletcher. March 14, 15, and 16 at the State Por- ensic Tournament Millard Mills and john Elliott participated in debate, and Marjorie Moore in the divisions of oratory and extemp.

ANU MRS. MCGREW The President of William Penn College and his wife are two well-loved characters on our campus. We never think of the one with- out also thinking of the other. The interests of the college come first with the President and he is always ready to work for its betterment. Upon request, Dr. McCrew wrote the fol- lowing words as an introduction to the fine faculty of which he is the head: The request that the President of the College write a brief article concerning the Faculty suggests a responsibility. Such an article must be free from flattery and from criticism. It must be a warm and apprecia- tive introduction addressed to a student group who already know them. Some interesting facts may here be presented: Of the members of the Faculty now in ac- tive service, twelve were born in Iowa, one in Ohio, one in Illinois, two in New York, one in Missouri, one in Wisconsin, one in Maryland, one in Nebraska, one in California, and three in Germany. Of the Bachelors' Degrees represented in our Faculty, eleven were obtained in Iowa, three in Michigan, one in Ohio, two in Cali- fornia, and one in Wisconsin. Of the Masters' Degrees, eleven were ob- tained in Iowa, three in Michigan, one in Ohio, l two in California, one in Wisconsin, and one in Pennsylvania. Of the Degrees of Doctor of Philosophy, one is from the University of Chicago, two from the University of Iowa, one from Col- umbia, and two from the University of Berlin. As a result of study abroad there is one Diploma from Sorbonne University, Paris, one Diplome de Peinture from School of Fine Arts, and one Diplome dexecution from the Con- servatoire American, Fontainebleau, France. Many other institutions have been contacted in graduate study. Other generalities which might be con- sidered are the age average-plus and minus, weights and measures, matrimony-actual and potential, parental obligations, all of which have distinctly personal features but small consideration in terms of education prepara- tion. As President of the institution it affords me satisfaction to acknowledge the efficiency and the loyalty with which the members of this Faculty have worked together in the up- building of an institution which we all love and for ideals which have challenged our united endeavor.

Seniors of 1940 just one more milestone and the class of '40 will be alumni rather than the familiar schoolmates we have learned to know so well. We who have been in school with them can scarcely realize that they will not be back with us next year, offering advice and shouldering the responsibilities which each must assume. They go to various fields of serviceg many will become schoolteachers, others homemak- ers, or other vocational occupations. They are an entirely different group from the timid unassimilated freshmen of four years ago. Many of that freshman class have been sifted before now, but the remainder form a strong nucleus from which they will separate, perhaps in some eases forever. Two seniors whose pictures do not appear in the annual are Edward Morris and lX4rs. Olga Hoffman. Eddie has been at Witehita. Kansas the last two years and will receive his B. A. in mathematics here in the spring. His activities include Y. lvl. C. A. four yearsg Christian workers, junior and seniorg game room, freshmang and tennis, junior. Mrs. Hoffman from Oskaloosa will receive a degree in music, and her activities have been more specihcally in that Held. The senior section of the 1040 Quaker is unique in that more space is devoted to pictur- es and write-ups, and character sketches have been included. The Quaker staff has done this remembering that the Quaker is essential- ly the juniors present to the graduating class, and therefore special honor should be aeeorded them. Treas. V. Pres.

Sec'y.-Treas, Louus DYE AMBROSE DOLLAR MARY MARTHA Home While the junior class is one ofthe smaller classes, due to the process of elimination, yet each member really counts. They have been well represented in the fields of athletics, music, forensics, and scholarship. Perhaps no other class has made a record equal to that of the juniors in athletics. Chuck Bainbridge, who is outstanding in every sport, received All-State ranking again in football and was captain of the basketball squad. Don Kiester, crack basketball player, saved several games by his long accurate shots and general efficiency on the Hoor. Bill Trent, also on the varsity basketball squad, continued to play excellent basketball in the 39940 season and received high honors at its close. He was elected center on the Associated Press Team and also accorded the title of best ball- handler. Amby Dollar, Dale DeVault, Louie Dye, and Cappy McCormick were outstand- ing in football, and Dale with Chuck was elect- ed co-captain for the ensuing football season. ln music Mary Martha l-loar has continu- ed her consistently perfect instrumental work on both piano and organ. Esther Mae Kindig is also outstanding in vocal work. Millard Mills and Robert Kenoyer have put in some long hours in debate work, and Bob has evidenced a great deal of dramatic ability. The debate team of which Millard was a member received superior ranking at the state tournament. Tommy Crawford, another junior, has again filled the post of chief cheer leader most diligently. I-Ie could always arouse some noise even when football fans were stoically freezing. l-low would the college maintain its self- help work without juniors? Lillian Anderson in the dining room, Byrda Leonard, Neva Reynolds, lwlargaret iklcffracken and Louie Dye in the library, Dean Morris as chemistry laboratory assistant, Barbara Nichols as bind- ery manager, Ruth lris Heald on switchboard duty, and Arthold Latham in the dairy are a few examples of these busy people. Another junior project, taken for granted but still quite important, is the production of the college annual. Those who have not yet been juniors will not appreciate this task to the fullest extent-but it has given staff mem- bers some busy days before its completion. Then at commencement it is quite obvious that the juniors are more indispensable than seniors, for the latter have only to graduate while the former must attend to such matters as ushering, decorating, and other necessary functions. Several new members in the class this year have helped to supplement the number lost last spring. Philip Ellis and Millard lVIills have made their adjustment quickly and just as quickly have absorbed many duties. Philip has aided in photography work for the Quak- er, and Millard has done almost everything from forensics to Business Manager of the Quaker and Chronicle Then it is to be questioned if the college rock would be red today without the timely aid of a few juniors on behalf of their sophomore fellows. The juniors, incidentally, won their own rock fight both years, even against fairly heavy odds. TOP R0w4Fuhs, Riggs, D. Morris, Bainbridge. Trent, Dollar, Mills, Kiester. BTIIJDLE Row-Crayton, Dye.

Pres. lhuf STREETER fi!-IRALDINE CRAVEN ENID WVHITE Not to be forgotten are the sophomores. Their contributions in intelligence, frolic and fun have helped keep Penn College as we see it today. Perhaps one of the most exciting activities of this class came in the fall in the form of the Rock Fight. After a night of anxiety and ex- citement the coming of the dawn revealed a gleaming red spot on the back campus. Per- haps it was best that the sophomores had a few friends among the upperclassmen in order to clinch the rather uncertain victory. Their class is very fortunate in having so many activities represented. jimmy Bass has taken great interest in the German band-perhaps a second Bob Burns. Other noted musicians are Shepherd, Welch, Ranshaw, Crist and Hook. In the operettas last year and this, The Mikado and UH. M. S. Pinaforef' Ben was given the major partg on other occasions he has distinguished himself by his musical ability. The ever faithful librarians who patiently search the shelves for the little book that wasnt there may be Ellen Lee Tatum, Miriam Byerly or Glenn Forsythe. The waiters staff for the dining room would be incomplete without White, Craven, Butcher, and Streeter who stir from their slumbers on cold, dark mornings to prepare tables in readiness for the hungry students. Perhaps the food is that which Ragan, Lud- wick, Recktenwald, or Fletcher have prepared. The college laundry keeps running smooth- ly as long as Smith, Kime, and Shimer stay on the job. Dorothy Ellis and Dorothy Smith take their turn at the switch-board to give the best of service to those who are in need of infor- mation. Paul Perisho helps keep the place going by constantly making repairs for lVIr. Pierson, and Olin Byerly over in the heating plant puts in some long irregular hours that we may be comfortable in winter. How would Mr. Russell ever manage all his multitudinous affairs without the assistance of another able sophomore, Elisabeth Gordon, who smoothes over his letters so they really sound very nice? The sophomores are well-represented in sports as well. Bill Bryan and Bob Roe put in some nice shots on the basketball floorg Ver- non lvloehring, Pat Schluck, and others in football, and Bryan and Clin Byerly in base- ball have well upheld the honors of this class. A large number from our class will com- plete their elementary teaching certihcates this year. Among them are Dorothy Smith, Dorothy Ludwick, Wanda Recktenwald, Percy Welch, Frances Fletcher, Viola Whyle, Ber- nice Hillhouse, and Betty lvlclcanelsborough. Some of these have already secured teaching positions and it is to be hoped that all will be placed before fall. Sophomore girls are well represented in Pep Club by Fletcher, White, Ragan, Tatum, Cordon, Chambers, Dahlke, Evans, Barnes, Moore, and Craven. Their ability to take it was sorely tried initiation week when the Pep pledges had to descend to such humiliating levels as pig tails, discordant shoes and stock- ings, and egg parades. But they survived and have been loyal members. Marion Wilson again assisted Coach Wha- lin in caring for football equipment, and was generally serviceable to the Quaker squad. Many of the sophomores have been active in the Christian organizations 5 Dorothy Smith as president of the Christian Workers and cab- inet committeeman in Y. W. C. A. has well represented her class in this field. Others who have been busy on Gospel teams and other work are Miriam Byerly, Pauline Ranshaw, Ruby Dahlke, Letcher Lynn, and others. Gther sophomores hold important posi- tions on executive committees. just look through this annual and you will find numerous examples. Doris Chambers, one of the most active members, was forced to discontinue school the second semester due to eye-weakness. She served on Y. W. C. A. cabinet, Drama Club as secretary and Home Economics Club as vice-president. The president of the International Rela- tions Club this year was another sophomore. Ellen Lee Tatum. She has worked very dili- gently to stir up student interest in a worthy, if somewhat small, organization. And so we present the sophomores. Heres to one of the four best classes in college with possibilities of becoming the best. Rah! Yea' SOPl'1Sl WWW 9 90j Pl rr V9 Z fffj I TOP Row-Bass, Bryan. P. Perisho, V. Moehrmg, Shimer, B.

They not only came, but saw and conquered as well, else why the new pep and enthusiasm so pre- valent on the campus this year?

Band and choir absorbed a great many freshmen and were thus revitalized to attain new standards this year. jauson Gholson, Helen Maxwell, and Emily Newlin were prom- ising piano students, jauson, however, be- came ill at the end of the first semester and will be unable to attend for some time to the regret of all. Ethelmae Aten has also evidenced a great deal of talent in voice. Two of the yell leaders, Moana Mcliarlin and Bernice Alcorn, were freshmen and their zeal and skill aided Tommy very materially in stirring up more pep. Several of the freshmen had had good busi- ness training and became competent steno- graphersg Beverly Briggs under Dr. Jenkins, and Avonelle Strawn under Dr. Whitely have been very satisfactory secretaries. ln speech work many of the freshmen have been both interested and talented. Ruth Henderson and Emily Newlin, and john El- liott in debate are particularly deserving of mention. john won a superior ranking at the state debate tournament and the team of which he was a member was rated good. This is an obviously unusual record for a freshman. The Green Peppers, an organization of freshmen girls, fairly bubblecl over with enthu- siasm-especially at the beginning of the year. And how they could yell at those football and basketball games! The freshmen lost the rock fight, but only against overwhelmingly unfair odds. Had there been no one involved besides freshmen and sophomores, the rock would undoubtedly be green today. Some of the class have come from a great distance. For example Marcella Zerne from Oregon, Mary Earl and Florence Dunn, South Dakota and Harriet Morris, Illinois. It is difncult to do justice to so large a group in so small a space, but it must needs suffice to mention only a few of their outstand- ing accomplishments. Outstanding Seniors ROY CLARK MILDRED COFEIN PAUL ELLIS BRUCE HARLEY VIRGINIA HENNING THELMA JOHNSON When the 1940 Quaker staff selected the six outstanding seniors, they found it exceed- ingly difficult to limit the number. But it seemed to them that the following students were the most highly representative from the standpoint of character, scholarship, leader- ship, activity, and popularity. Roy Clark has probably participated in more activities than any other student on the campus. His efficient work in debate, Col- lege Council and Y. M. C. A. have very effect- ively proven his ability. He has received high honors in Boy Scout work both as a member and a leader. Athletics have also shared his attention, and until he suffered a knee injury he was very outstanding on the football squad. just how he is able to maintain this versatility is somewhat of a mystery, but four years have sufficiently proved that he can. Mildred Coffin, as the highest honor girl, was eligible for the Bryn Mawr scholarship and, incidentally, honorable mention here. We realize that this has been by dint of much hard work, for Mildred has earned much of her way through college in addition to carry- ing off high honors academically. We be- lieve few people are capable of such accomplish- ment and congratulate her for her enviable record. Paul Ellis seemed logically to be one of the six chosen, for, although he spent only the last two years at Penn, he has made a rather unusual record. As the director of Penn pub- lic opinion through the avenue of Chronicle editor, he has stimulated student views and created student participation in the paper this year. Also Paul has continued to uphold the Pi Kappa Delta chapter on the campus in his position as president of the forensics. His English major and background of wide read- ing have been invaluable in his position as editor. Bruce Harley was, of course, outstanding as the winner of the Haverford Scholarship Award. When he received the honor so well deserved that day in chapel, didn't we all wish we had studied as we should, or at least resolve to do better in the future? We are glad for him that he has received this honor, for we know it was highly merited. Virginia Henning probably has about as sizeable a list of activities as anyone in her class. Much of the work she has done, how- ever, has not been recorded. She has often been the one to do endless committee jobs or manage something especially difficult. She has kept the dining room running exception- ally smoothly this year, and she holds down another executive place as president of the Home Economics Club. But more than any- thing else, she is outstanding for committee work often placed on her capable shoulders. Thelma johnson has been outstanding in a number of ways. She was selected for musical talent, executive ability, popularity and just ordinary good nature. Her activi- ties show the variety of her interests and the responsibility with which she has been invest- ed. As president of the Pep Club she has helped to instigate more pep on the campus and at intercollegiate games. She was given one of the major parts in the two operettas, The Mikado and H. M. S. Pinafore, and did exceptionally well in both cases. Thou shalt be our Alma Mater The new neon sign, What could he more heautifulln Remember those iciclesl We'll love thee long.
