A. Coach Micklewright. 1956-57 marks four years of faithful and per- servering service for Coach Micklewright as pro- fessor of physical education and director of ath- letics at Penn College. Before his years of teach- ing and coaching, Coach took his B.A. degree at Pennsylvania State College. During these four years Coach has demon- strated true sportmanship, not only on the athletic field, but in the class- room as a teacher, and as the dean of men. Per- sonally Coach is a Christian gentleman, friend- ly, and fair. He exemplifies a worthy striving toward the goals of excellence in body, mind, and spirit. The l957 Quaker Staff congratulates Coach Micklewright in this 1956-57 year of Victory both in football and basketball at William Penn Coll- ege. We recognize him for his quality of excel- lence as a teacher, as dean of men, and as coach and trainer of youth. A Dream Realized Have you ever seen a dream, not walking, but building? We have, right here on the Penn Campus the past year. Eighteen months ago the Physical Education building was still just a pic- ture of a proposed gym-architect's drawings on blue print paper, pledges of money , finally con- tracts with workmen. Then last spring on Ground Breaking Day a few spadefuls of dirt were dug: but the hole made was not even big enough to set a fence post! Before long a bulldozer clanked and snorted, leveling the site: the long arm of a drag- line swung the buckets of dirt out of the trenches for the foundation. Thereafter the west campus be- gan to be cluttered with material, an shed of cement, piles of sand and gravel, bricks and building blocks, steel bars, pipe and drain tile. A complicated pattern of stakes, and later trenches was laid out. The first bit of the building was finally in-the con- crete footings. One by one cement blocks , bricks and tiles went into place: and gradually the walls rose, up to ground level , ia-su high as my head , to the height of the windows , end walls, are all the way up. But other strange things were happening. In the deep trench encircling the foundations a maze of water pipes, drain pipes , steam pipes, electric conduits were laid. Pipes and bars stuck up in the air in all sorts of odd places. More holes and trenches were dug, for sewers, water lines and the connection to the heating plant. Electricians strung the power wires across the field. As the walls rose toward their full height, prospects seemed bright for a gym ready for the first basketball game of the season. Then-the steel strike! Day after day papers were anxious- ly scanned for news of a settlement of the strike: before that finally came the target date for com- pletion of the gym was pushed back a month, six weeks, two months. But at last the suspense endedp and the long arm of the hoist swung the five-ton roof trusses into place. Then the ques- tion was Will the roofing crew get the roof on before it snows or rains ? Our, ew One snowfall caught them, but the building was finally enclosed-roof, doors and win- dows-ready for the pouring of the cement floor. What a busy day, and a long one ftwenty-four hoursl, as the entire cement base was spread and smoothed at one oper- ation. Now, hurry, hurry, with the hardwood flooring, the roll-away bleachers, the paint- ing, the shower rooms, the baskets, a hun- dred and one other details , January 18th is almost here. Oh yes, don't forget the pop- corn machine! A dream did you say? Rub your eyes again, there it is: bright lights, shining floor, rows and rows of seats, crowds stream- ing in, players running, balls flying Ksome of them into the basketsl. The Gym is a reality! W.F.F. Gymnasium A Prayer For Students Where Wh ere Where Where Where Where hate is, is is there there there is is is there there an instrument of Thy peace! let me bring loveg injury, let me bring pardon, doubt, let me bring faith, despair, let me bring hopep darkness, let me bring light, sadness, let me bring joy. -- to console than to be consoled O Divine Master, let me seek rath er To understandthan to be understood, To love rather than to be loved, For it is in giving that we receive, In pardoning that we receive pardon, In dying that we rise to the life eternal. --Francis of Assisi Administration Facult Staff i w1g .:v , '.'1- V 'M 1 1,-Wgqf A 1,5 5.4 'V l Y ,af if KI f 'f u 1 ' I QR 3 rg' 1' .. ,gli-V . 21.

To all of us that has been a real joy and inspiration. However, the erection of the gym is not the only area of progress, though in many ways it is more tangible. A development committee composed of board mem- bers, alumni, and interested friends has been or- ganized to assist in the advancement of the college in the next ten years. Their plans will help to carry the college forward in the areas of additional buildings , better equipment, and money for in- creased faculty salaries. The enrollment increase for the year has been significant. Both the number of prospective students available and the number of applications received indicate that Penn will continue to grow. A small college like Penn gives the students many opportunities for leadership experience and personal growth. Also the student body has the opportunity of studying in the standard liberal arts courses with a faculty committed to the Christian viewpoint. In closing, I would like to commend the Quaker staff for carrying through in a fine way one of the many worthwhile cocurricular projects in 1956-57. Sincerely yours , ,X Ball DAVID T.

During this year the Student Council has been working on a set of traffic rules and parking regula- tions for students who have cars on campus. In November, 1956, just before the National election, the council sponsored a national campus election complete with campaign speeches and the casting of ballots with a voting machine. The council recommended for student considera- tion the sponsoring of a refugee Hungarian student at Penn for the year 1957-58. 30 The Student Council, the organ for student government at William Penn College, is compos- ed of an elected representative from each of the four classes and the president of each class of the college.

Christian emphasis in college education is important at Penn College. One organization with that emphasis is the Phi Kappa Chi, or Crusaders for Christ, for students planning full time Christian service. The program's outreach has been broadened this year to meet our expanding student body. Frequently Phi Kappa Chi cooperates with Stu- dent Christian Association in religious activites. The Prayer Committee sponsors prayer meetings in the Residence halls of the men and women. A new workshop committee provides practical ex- perience in the various fields of religious ser- vices. The organization becomes a proving ground for those intending to enter Christian service. The officers this year are: Elwin Wines, pres- identp Clara Lee Hadley, vice-president, Ruth Ferguson, secretary'-treasurer? Dale Schwechel, prayer committe chairman: Ioan Savage, social committe chairman: Jim Welle, Bible committee chairman, Bill Wagoner and Sharlene Lincoln, missionary committee chairman: and Gayle Morris , workshop committe chairman. Education minus Christianity equals Catas- trophe. 33 Jeannette Rawson LaDonna Richards Dorothy Hurst Bus . Mgr. C0-Editor Co-Editor Chronicle Staff The Chronicle, the Penn College student publication, is issued bi-monthly during the school year. The staff finds itself continually working on the next issue. The editor, La- Donna Richards , plans in advance with the help of Miss Crown, what articles will be needed to cover all the college news. Assignment sheets are posted, deadlines announced, and articles are edited, typed and sent to the print- er. When the galleyproofsatrive, they must be proof ready then comes the fun of arranging the articles on the dummy. Then, after the headlines and lay-out are approved, they are sent to the printer. The reward of the seemingly endless process is the new issue of The Penn Chronicle, which is happily distributed. FRONT ROW: Left to Right!

During Christmas vacation, the editor and some of her workers were on duty with pictures, paste and typewriters formulating materials into the book, the 1957 Quaker. While Quaker men were arduously assembling the bleechers for the new gym and mid year exams were pressing hard, loyal individuals on the staff met dead lines for copy for the printers and publishers.

Writers' Club The enjoyment and inspiration of the members of the Writers' Club is that of the creation and shar- ing of original literary work. Individuals read their manuscripts, whether short stories, essays, or poetry, to the members where they receive a sym- pathetic audience and are frankly and constructively discussed and criticized. Interesting ideas forwrit- ers are often presented, too: The goals of the Writers' Club include keeping a notebook of the literary work done during the year and seeking outlets for publication of orginal work. Once a year the Writers' Club presents a program for the Penn Chapel. The Chronicle published several poems of Vibert Miller during the year. He has written humorus articles as well as poetry. Writers' Club meets on the third Monday night once a month in the small dining room of the Women's Residence or in the home of one of its members. Membership to Writers' Club is open to anyone interested in creative writing. Bertha E. Supplee -and Rachel Crown share faculty sponsorship of Writers' Club.

Since Penn is a Christian College, a vital religious orientation becomes essential to real living. The promotion of Religious Life is the task of every person belonging to the Penn family. Every activity has some contribution to make to this vital area of college life. The develop- ment of Religious life is the result of a definite program. Every student is expected to participate in the activites of a local church. Every chapel and assembly is given entirely or in part to a religious emphasis. The Penn Crusaders for Christ offer weekly fellowship for those pre- paring for Christian service while the Student Christian Association conducts its weekly pro- grams for all interested students. GIRLS' TRIOS: Shirley Scott, Ruth Ferguson, and Clara Lee Hadley. Barbara Smith as accompanist. Mary Lockard, Sharlene Lincoln, and Rosalie Savage. A Christian Emphasis Week is held an- nually, usually at the beginning of the fall term. ln these services the call of Christ to every individual is emphasized and the students are encouraged to give a positive answer. This positive commitment is then given an Opportunity to express itself through participation and service. Penn students play an active role in planning and conducting the Annual Youth Conference. Some students have regular responsibilities in nearby churches, serving as pastors, pastor's assistants, teachers, directors of music, or in other useful capac- ities: others take an active part in gospel teams, as opportunity affords. A pictorial record of some of this service is recorded in these pages. Emphasis STUDENT MINISTERS: Front Row: Left to Right: Robert Martin, Iohn Bissett, Dave Dunn.

The opening scene found the residents Qf the Women's House busily sticking lollipops in the front lawn. Students were frantically putting the finishing touches on the floats. Time and energy were awarded, for the Homecoming parade was a huge success, one of the best in many years. The Women's Residence won'the prize for theme and beauty. The theme of the winning float, Up With Penn --Down With Burlington, came to pass in the foot- ball game with Burlington Junior College. Penn downed Burlington Z0-7.

In the short after dinner program Dale Schwechel spoke on The Spirit of Christmas, Charles McCracken read the Christmas story from the Gospel of Luke, and Rosalie Savage and Shirley Scott interpreted Winter Wonderland. Open House on Third Floor-- A product of the grab bag-- After the banquet the girls in the dormitory held open house to all the guests, later in the drawing room Christmas entertainment prevailed. This included decorating the Christmas tree, singing carols around the piano , lis- tening to a Christmas story read by Helen Hoover, the opening of the grab bag produced such delightful surprises as bird food, a brick, a baby bottle, and a ballet doll. fl understand that s.ome mistletoe crept in after most of the guests had gone. l'll bet that was fun!'.J L is so Under the mistletoe The Messiah A high point in the realm of music at William ment of Penn College, joined with the Penn Chorus Penn College is the singing of the Messiah by and singers from the community in a presentation, Handel en the Sunday before Christmas vasatian. which attained the high standard of former years.

This year the Lettermen's Club boasts of twenty-seven loyal members. Meetings, with Coach Micklewright as competent ad- visor, have been held regularly to discuss present and future mem- bership. The club activities consist of choosing the Homecoming Queen and attendants for Homecoming Day, and promoting general interest in athletics on campus. The Lettermen's Club means to its members, a reward for past service, a fellowship with other athletes, and an inspiration for future athletic achievement. Susie Mary Ruthie, Susie, Rosie, and Mary will never forget those crisp autumn evenings, yelling their heads off when the football squad came on the field. They especially remember the thrill of being the first cheerleaders on the new gym floor.

Rosie Ruthie LEFT TO RIGHT: Sue Partridge, Ruth Ferguson, Rosalie Savage, and Mary Steddom. The Penn football team concluded a very suc- cessful season this fall with two wins, three losses , and one tie in regular season games. The Rangers got off to a slow start, but under the direction of Coach Micklewright and Line Coach George Iimmie Quire, they showed continual signs of improvement. With a 32-0 victory over Eureka College, they broke a ten-year record of losses at the hands of four-year Liberal Arts colleges, and heir victory over Burlington Iunior College the, finished the besi season in years.

From the day of groundbreaking for the gymnasium on April 30, 1956, the erection of the steel structure in the late summer, to the opening of the gymnasium on Ianuary 18, 1957, friends of the college eagerly followed the progress of the building and were on hand for the opening game. Brief Ceremonies were held to mark the opening. A formal presentation of the American flag , which now hangs at the north end of the gym, was made by the Harry L. Anderson Post No. 34 of the American mer. AStor Of Progress Legion, while the Star Spangled Banner was played by the Penn College band with Miss Joyce Dillavou as soloist. Mr. David T. Ver Steegh spoke on the facts and figures of the physical structure of the building: the Athletic Director, Charles Micklewright, coaches and players were introduced. Roy Williams, who headed the Penn gym campaign among the churches of Iowa Yearly Meeting of Friends, and Art Walling, who headed the Oskaloosa campaign for the gym, had the honor of presenting the game ball. President Ball presided over all the ceremonies. President Ball receives the American flag presented by the Harry L.

New students as well as some of the returning ones enjoyed a picnic at Lake Keo- mah, initiation of freshmen, whitewashing of the letter P and the annual formal reception which closed this first week of college activity. The 20th of October, on Saturday evening, Penn beat Eureka, Illinois, in a football game. As soon as the girls in the dorm heard the news , plans began to form for a grand, gala Wel- come Home for the team. Several students immediately relayed the news to the faculty, who were holding a filibuster at the home of Miss Smith. The police granted regal escort for a Pa- radeup town after the team returned. Posters for cars and cow bells were brought out, finally, the bus with Penn's winning football squad rolled through the campus gates. The boys trans- ferred to cars and were escorted through downtown Oskaloosag by the light of a great victory fire at the P , refreshments were served. The Dean and President declared an all-school hol- iday for Monday, celebrating the victors and their victory. And by the way--there was no school the following Monday! The day was spent working on the floats for the 1956 Home- coming. Homecoming was the highlight of the month of October. It was one of the greatest in years with splendid floats and high spirits. We remember the bonfire and pep rally on the eve of homecoming, when the queen and her attendants were announced. Then what a perfect day homecoming was! The weather was warm and sunny, the parade was a huge success , with the Women's Residence winning first place in the float rivalry . Penn won the football game over Burlington Junior College, and a football banquet in the evening brought the day to its close. The first week in November, Penn was host to the Interdenominational Youth Conferencep nearly everyone was busy working on various committees to help make the Conference enjoy- able and worthwhile. In December, the Women's House Association sponsored a lovely Christmas banquet, open house and party. The banquet was formal and a grab bag gift exchange highlighted the party. Our College Choir travelled to Des Moines to make a television appearance over KRNT-TV on December 6. This was a new and exciting experience for nearly all of us. A nearly three-week Christmas Vacation was eagerly looked forward to, and then passed by as rapidly: we returned in 1957 to enter very shortly into a new semester. The third week of Ianuary was extraordinarily busy--everyone studying frantically for semester exams. Ianuary I8 was genuinely exciting, for Penn played her first basketball game in the new gymnasium! It was really a thrill, almost difficult to feel that we at Penn were on our own campus in the wonderfully new building. The dream had become, at last, a reality. In February, the fair ladies in the dormitory began receiving diamonds. Some of them re- ceived a good bathtub ducking , much to the delight of all. Popcorn parties and hair styling get-togethers are still being carried on, but we do study, tool In Peasley Hall, the fellows still have to hide their cakes and cookies from home: Ron Kuntz continues to play his guitar and harmonica: the major interests there are money, cars and--- girlsl March, April, and May were busy months, as Spring Vacation arrived, and the year began to draw to a close. When the yearbook was published Penn folk were looking forward to Fine Arts Week, and the final events of the year, Baccalaureate and Commencement.
