COPYRIGHT IN 55 19 50 ♦ BY ♦ J.G. SCHNEIDER EDITOR IN CHIEF M.C JVVcELROY BUSINESS AGE THE. 1950 WTENBERGER PUBLISHED BY THE JUNIOR CLASS OF WITTENBERG COL LEGE AT SPRINGFIELD OHIO FOREWORD Panorama Classes, co-eds, collcgiana . Close harmony at dawn Hold that line! Vistas of action and glamour . of youth ... at college . Four fleeting years, and then Commencement . . . and a silver chord of memory If this volume be judged in terms of accepted values it is a failure. We are not statis- ticians, compiling a record of facts and faces. For facts and faces may become as ashes . . . and dust. Rather would we be idyllic, singing of Today ... as we see it. Rather would we be sentimentalists, building out of eloquent nothingness an interpretation, an apotheosis, of the Wittenberg of 1930. Certainly we shall be repaid if we shall have evolved an intangible value ... a silver chord of memory for the Future. CONTENTS Book One THE COLLEGE Book Two CLASSES Book Three ACTIVITIES Book Four ORGANIZATIONS Book Five ATHLETICS Book Six FEATURES Book. One THE COLLEGE H •tu� Jm UV ftM Administration DR. REES EDGAR TULLOSS became the seventh president of Wittenberg College in 1920. His record during the ten years of his administration constitutes the biography of an aggressive administrator. Splendid new buildings in a wisely planned and carefully landscaped campus offer material evidence of his success as a builder. Systematized organization marks his ability as an executive. Love and admiration of men in all walks of life testify to his qualities as a man. Well endowed by nature with those characteristics which make a leader of men, Dr. Tulloss acquired the training and temperament which equip him so admirably for his service to the institution. Dr. Tulloss graduated from Wittenberg in 1906, leaving a splendid record of achievement in athletics, activities, and scholarship. Graduate work was pursued at Hamma Divinity School, Harvard University, and Johns Hopkins University. A pretentious building program, greatly increased en- rolment, and a successful endowment drive are some of the outstanding features of the decade under the guidance of Proxy Tulloss. t !‘ag Tutnly REES EDGAR TULLOSS, Ph.

At Wittenberg these offices are filled by executives of a different type. They maintain an attitude of kindly helpfulness, and still do not tolerate disciplinary laxity. It requires a woman of unusual ability to perform the duties of the Dean of Women in a co-educational institution. Firmness, sympathy, tact, efficiency, are a few of the necessary attributes. Dean Ruth Immell has combined these attributes to a marked degree in coping with the problems of her position since 1924. Charles Gallitin Shatzer, Dean of the College, is general supervisor of academic matters. Educated at Wittenberg College. Susquehanna College, and Chicago University. Dr. Shatzer returned to his alma mater as Professor of Geology. He became Dean of the Col- lege in 1914. Undergraduates since that time have known him as a scholarly, human, and eminently fair administrator. Benjamin H. Pershing, as Dean of Men. has contributed much to the religious and social well being of this college community. Dean Pershing has been a source of encour- agement and assistance in his present position since 1926. Page Tuenlij-luo Faculty HENRY J. ARNOLD. A M. Assistant Professor of Psychology FREDERICK L.

Two CLASSES Seniors Class of 1930 Ross Romig Parchen Moyer Wood James C. Olson HE Senior Class completes its sojourn of four years at Wittenberg College with mingled feelings. Gradu- ation brings to us the satisfaction of a completed task. It brings to us the exhilaration of freedom which is followed immediately by the sense of a new and larger responsibility. It brings us face to face with the realization that we have before us another course, a course for which our college work shall be but a foundation a course that will require a life time in its completion. We graduate, realizing that life with its trials and prob- lems will often make us cast envious eyes upon our years at Wittenberg. Graduation gives us, however, a new confidence, a confidence that makes no problem—as it presents itself seem insurmountable. — James Olson. OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer .

The commencement program is scheduled to begin at 9:00 a. m. Page Fifty-one Juniors Class of 1930 Wager I lenkle Bucschcn Wirick Killinger Bonadine Wineland S USUAL, a group of unsuspecting matriculators invaded Wittenberg College in September. 1927. The class survived the ' king for a day” treatment of Greek letter clans and the horrible routine of registration with equal insouisance. Officers were elected, freshmen hats worn and discarded, a sophomore hop promoted—and two years were gone. During its third year the class sponsored the publication of this book, and the presentation of a class play—neither of which will achieve immortality in some future outline of history. The class has taken one forward step in deciding not to present a senior class play ; too bad they can’t vote on whether to publish another yearbook. And so the boys and girls enter the last lap. Soon the children who, as freshmen, re- ported “interest and spirit. will be vested with all the dignity of caps and gowns. “And so wags the world.” President V ice-President Secretary Treasurer .

Paic Sixly-lhree Pick and Pen Kish McElroy Keck Edwards ICK AND PEN. founded in 1922. is the Junior men's honorary society at Witten- berg College. An outstanding event of the year is the Tap Day service in May in the college chapel. The purpose of Pick and Pen is to give honor where honor is due among the third year men. Membership is based upon three collegiate virtues: leadership, activities, and development of character. The members at present are: Alex Kish. Merrit McElroy. Albert Keck, and William Edwards. Kish holds letters in baseball, basketball, and football. McElroy is vice president of the Y. M. C. A. and is business manager of the Wittenberger. Keck is a member of Tau Kappa Alpha and an intercollegiate debater. He was president of this year’s Student Chest and holds membership in Boost W” and the Y. M. C. A. cabinet. Edwards was captain of the football team in 1929 and will pilot the team again this year. This brief summary shows the varied fields of activity of Pick and Pen members. Pane Sixty-four President Secretary OFFICERS . ALEX KISH MERRIT McELROY Sophomores Class of 1932 Smith Corwin Poole Harris RESHMAN week, beginning September 7. 1928. saw the “largest class of first-year students that ever entered Wittenberg’’ begin its career. Officers were elected during the second week of the year—and the group remained organized but idle through the remainder of two semesters. I he class did show that it was well endowed with athletes. The freshman football team gave the varsity men of the fighting outcasts plenty of trouble in scrim- mages throughout the year. This year the class has been called upon to decide two weighty problems; first, that of publishing a college yearbook, and second, that of sponsoring a junior class play. Both projects were deemed desirable and have met the official approval of the class. Class members arc prominent in activities, politics, organizations—the usual shibboleths of collegiana.

Freshman convocation, progressive parties, physical examinations, and the whole gamut of introductory requirements, completely filled the average freshman's first week at Wittenberg. Later in the year the class was organized and officers were elected. It is a matter of conjecture as to just why officers are needed in the first year body; the election of officers is the only function of the group as an organized class. Well, with Freshman Week and election of officers out of the way, the class settled down to the usual routine. The irksome and unbecoming red hats were discarded at the end of the first semester. The usual quota of yearlings returned unhonored and unsung to the places from whence they came. Moreover, the usual percentage entered vigorously into sundry activities, training camps for the future B. M. 0. C. The Frosh basketball team was worthy of mention. The class should feel proud of the manner in which their hoopsters completed a difficult schedule with a splendid record. OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretam Prca surer .

WILBERT LEONARD WOIILER ’ore Elghltpacttn Seminary Hamma Divinity School Joseph Sillier HE Hamma Divinity School is a Graduate School of Theology, and is controlled by the same board of directors as the liberal arts college. A resident faculty of six men aims to prepare the students for the work of the ministry in the Church. Students are required to hold the bachelor's degree before they are admitted for work toward the degree of Bachelor of Divinity. At the present time the enrollment is fifty students. The connection of the Seminary with the undergraduate department of Wittenberg College has certain obvious ad- vantages. The special lecturers of both faculties may be heard by the entire student body. A central library for the use of the college and seminary students permits the members of both student groups to avail themselves of the contribu- tions of the traditional fields of knowledge.

McElroy Business Manager HE Wittenbergcr has experienced a colorful career through the several years of its journalistic existence. The exact date of its establishment as an official publication cannot be definitely ascertained, certainly it was more than a decade ago. Probably the book is the final stage of transition from the old monthly magazine. “The Wit- tenberger.’’ whose copies were bound and sold in semi-book form at the end of each year. The present Wittenberger is the official college annual, published yearly by the Junior Class of the college. In form, the yearbook has shown definite improvements each year. The 1928 Wittenberger inaugurated the era of “color process” printing. Three-color art work was the contribution of the following year. This year the three-color scheme has been retained and a scenic section in duotone added. The staff is indebted to Mr. K. G. Lind. Dr. J. P. Schneider, and Professor E. A. Jensen for advice and assistance throughout the year.

LIND, present publicity director of the college, was the leading spirit in found- ing a weekly campus publication, the “Torch. in 1914. During the first year of its history the Torch absorbed the “Wittenberger. a bi-weekly founded in 1873. The staff is chosen from the student body at large, with the help of recommenda- tions made by the retiring staff. Howard Draving. editor-in-chief, and Gene Fast, business manager, have piloted the Torch through one of its most successful eras during the past year. During their administration the publication has changed in form from a six-column to a seven- column. four-page newspaper. Dr. E. O. Weaver again acted as faculty adviser of the Torch, while K. G. Lind rendered valuable service in an unofficial advisory capacity. The Torch is a member of the Ohio College Newspaper Association, and annually enters the contest sponsored by the Cleveland Plain Dealer for members of that organization.

It was a self-avowed chronicle of wit. humor, and jocularity.” Since 1922 the Witt has had a con- tinuous if at times, precarious existence. Faculty supervision has nearly killed the youthful publication several times through oppressively rigorous censorship. The Witt undertook the eighth year of its existance. for the first time unham- pered by insanity in censorship. The first issue of the year was called the “Fresh- man Number , and was well received by the student body. The following seven issues proved that the publication is about to come into its own as a first-class college comic magazine. In each of its seven numbers the Witt was replete with scintillating collegiate humor. Features, stories, and burlesques completed the subject matter of the publication. The business staff of the Witt was faced with the same problem that perplexed the Wit- tenberger board—that of selling its product in a market that is hardly enthusiastic over any financial expenditure. Both the Witt and its sister publication. The Wittenberger. would profit immeasurably if they could secure offices. Cramped working conditions, poor organization, and super- fluous attention to detail are evils of the present system.

W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. In the spring these two organizations appoint co-editors, who. with the help of a number of editorial assistants and a member of the faculty, edit the book. This handbook contains letters of welcome from Dr. Rees Edgar Tulloss. Dr. Pershing, and Miss Ruth Immel;some information on Springfield and its churches, as well as a small map of the city. Pertinent information concerning the various activities and organizations on the campus is also included. A calendar of the school year, the best known Wittenberg songs, and some sound advice for freshmen complete the book. It contains information which will make a freshman appreciate college more fully, and also help him to feel at home soon after his arrival. Editors-in-Chief Associate Fditors RUDOLPH N.

Membership consists of representatives of each men’s social group and each major activity on the campus. Some of the features of Boost “W” service are: super- vision of class elections: promotion of pep meetings; and the presentation of a group scholarship cup. During the past year Boost W has inaugurated the all- college dance idea with marked success. Five dances were held, each of which was favorably received. The group sponsored the annual Honor Day Banquet at the Gymnasium on April 25.

Forty-five years ago a few men founded the group which is now older than any other group of similar character on the campus. The purpose motivating Y. M. C. A. activity is four- fold; to lead students to faith in God through Jesus Christ, to lead them into membership and activity in the Christ- ian church, to encourage self-betterment and the develop- ment of Christian character, and to extend the kingdom of God throughout the world. Through the influence of the Y. M. C. A. Freshman Week was placed in the school calendar as a regular part of the year’s activities. In con- junction with the Y. W. C. A. it sponsors the publication of the Student Handbook. Chapel services are frequently conducted by the Y.” and prominent speakers are brought to address the students. One of the important functions of the Association is the staging of the “Y Stag in the fall of each year. Page One Hundred Ten Y. M. C. A.

OUNDED in 1890. the Young Women’s Christian Association has ministered to the spiritual life of Wittenberg women through the forty continuous years of its existence. The formal purpose of the Y. W. is To unite in the desire to realize full and creative life through a growing knowledge of God; to increase the determination to make this life pos- sible for all people, and in this task to seek to know Jesus and to follow Him.” Recognition service for new members was held De- cember 1st. December 8th the Y. W. C. A. conducted Christmas vespers in the college chapel. On Thanksgiving, and again at Christmas, baskets of food were presented to the poor. Included in the group's charitable activities was a Christmas Party to which children of the Ocstcrlin Home were invited as honored guests. I hroughout the year the Young Women’s Christian Association has entered many phases of college life. Religious discussions, chapel programs, the Student Handbook, and the Lutheran Youth Conference are a few of the many projects sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. Page One Hundred Tu'elce Y. W. C. A.

To succeed tag days. “subscriptions.” and other scattered de- vices. the Student Chest came into existence. The Student Chest has as its objective the combining of various campus financial campaigns into one drive, and the equitable distribution of the funds among deserving organi- zations. A Student Chest Board, whose duty it is to meet the above requirements, is elected annually by all-college vote. The Chest budget for the present year included appropri- ations for Y. M. C. A.. Y. W. C. A.. Boost Wittenberg Associa- tion. Wittenberg Women’s League. Band. Orchestra. Campaign Fund. Contingency Fund, and Wittenberg in China. $3.525.00 was the amount requested by the Board. Complete receipts totaled only $2.900.00. In spite of this deficit the members of the Board can not be said to have failed. One appropriation, that of $1.000 for Wittenberg in China, met with spirited and righteous indignation. The Student Chest Board did a splendid work in so nearly overcoming this obstacle.

With six good debaters of the previous season returning to school, the squad began preparations early in September to retain the trophy which had been held for three consecutive years. Earl Morris was team captain of the negative, and Vaughn Gayman was captain of the affirmative team. Only one decision debate was lost during the entire season, that being the first debate of the year which took place at BlufTton. Representing Wittenberg in this debate were Stanley Raymer. Robert Mills, and Vaughn Gayman. 1 he same evening the negative team, consisting of August Schneider. Albert Keck, and Earl Morris, won from a trio representing Heidelberg College. There was only one other meeting which counted in the conference standings. This was a double victory scored over Muskingum away from home, and Otterbein in the college chapel. At Mus- kingum the men representing Wittenberg were Charles Schwart. Albert Keck, and Earl Morris. At home the same team. Stanley Raymer. Robert Mills and Vaughn Gayman. which had lost the first debate to Bluffton. earned the judges’ decision against Otterbein. At the close of the season. Wittenberg was tied for first place in the Ohio Con- ference and at a meeting of representatives from the schools who were tied for first it was decided that no more debates would be held to break the tic. No debates were held previous to the conference debates, but a busy post-season schedule was arranged by Coach Brces. who has so successfully coached consistent winners. Coach Brees changed the line-ups in these debates and introduced some novelties to home audi- I’age One Hundred f-'ighleen Varsity Debate ences. William Avery and Robert Churchman debated each other in one of the spring debates, each having as their colleague a speaker from Asbury Women's College. Kentucky. A two-man team consisting of Jack Beard and Earl Morris met debaters from Loyola Uni- versity in a no-decision debate. In the closing debates of the year, Wilson Hogue, Harold Lentz, Vaughn Gayman, and Victor Keller met a Wilmington negative team at Osborn Ohio, and Max Bucklew, Donald Elder, and Earl Morris upheld the standards of Witten- berg at Wilmington College. Both were non-decision debates. As a fitting reward for their activity in forensics. Coach Brees picked the two team captains, Earl Morris and Vaughn Gayman. to make an extended debate tour to Havana, Cuba. Coach Brees accompanied the men on this tour in which a number of southern colleges and universities, including Birmingham Southern University, Duke, and Berea College were met. This trip was taken early in March and consumed three weeks. Six seniors spoke for Wittenberg for the last time the past year. They arc August Schneider, Earl Morris, Robert Mills, Vaughn Gayman. Stanley Raymer. and Robert Churchman. Other members of the varsity debate squad the past year were: Affirmative Wilson Hogue, Edward Bauer, Victor Keller, Harold Lentz. Negative:—Charles Schwart, Harold Thomas, Maxwell Bucklew. Donald Elder, Albert Keck, William Avery, and John Beard.

The question on which they started work in the summer of 1929 was Resolved: That chain stores are detri- mental to public welfare. Martha Gardner and Elsie Ruh captained the affirma- tive squad which consisted of Miriam Conger. Alberta Benze. Katharine Bowman. Marian Gcbby. Rebecca Wirick. and Mary Montgomery. Margaret Lehmann was captain of the negative team which included Roxanna Hutchings. Frances Jack. Eleanor Poole. Phyllis Williams. Dorothy Straw, and Marjorie Timmons. With more than six months of hard, constructive work behind them, the teams opened an extensive debating schedule on March 4. when Catherine Bowman. Alberta Benze and Elsie Ruh met a negative team from Miami on the Wittenberg platform, and Phyllis Wil- liams. Marjorie Timmons and Margaret Lehmann of the negative journeyed to Miami to complete the dual non-decision match. On March 5. Rebecca Wirick, Marian Gebby and Elsie Ruh of the affirmative met Depauw at Greencastle. Indiana in a non-decision contest. The next evening Rebecca Wirick. Marian Gebby and Martha Gardner won an audience decision from Purdue’s negative team at Lafayette. Indiana. At the same time. Catherine Bowman. Alberta Benze and Elsie Ruh engaged in a non-decision combat with a negative team from Wheaton College, on our home platform. On March 7. Rebecca Wirick. Marian Gebby and Martha Gardner lost a single judge contest to a Wheaton negative team at Wheaton. Illinois. Pate One Hundred Tuenti Women s Varsity Debate The negative team traveled into Michigan. Roxanna Hutchings. Dorothy Straw and Margaret Lehman debated Albion College at Albion in a non-decision conflict on March 12. On the same evening. Rebecca Wirick. Alberta Benze, and Martha Gardner engaged in a similar debate with a negative team from Albion on our home platform. On March 13. Frances Jack, Eleanor Poole and Margaret Lehman lost a single judge decision to Kala- mazoo College there. “Honor to whom honor is due” is the keynote of the Honor Day Banquet, and so it was only right that those debaters who deserved it should be honored there. This year Miriam Conger received a cup for four years of debating activity, and Marian Gebby, Elsie Ruh, Katherine Bowman. Margaret Lehman and Alberta Benze received gavels in recognition of their having participated in two inter-collegiate varsity debates. Rebecca Wirick and Martha Gardner earned their gavels last year. With the question for next year, state medicine, chosen, bibliographies at hand, and a most promising group of first-year women promoted, the season of 1930-31 promises to be the most extensive and successful in the history of women s forensic activities at Wittenberg. Page One Hundred Twenty-one First Year Men s Debate NUMBER of men without previous experience in collegiate debate work displayed their argumentative technique before Coach Joseph Sittler and Profes- sor Paul R. Brees. in the fall of 1929. From this group of candidates the following were chosen to form the First Year Men’s Debate Squad: Stuart Anderson. Alfred Belles. Curtiss Bradstreet. George Hart. Paul Hartley. Roger Imhoff. Howard Kany, Wade Koons. Olen Peters. Paul Renz. Anson Skillings. Howard Wessling. Zancr Zerkle. and Wesley Ziegler. The group was divided into negative and affirmative squads, each squad organizing material on the question: Resolved: That political lobbying in Washington should be abolished.” Olen Peters and Wade Koons captained the teams in the first match, that with Miami University on March 23. Before the end of the season, however, every man on the squad had seen service in at least one debate. The squad enjoyed a successful season and brought to light several promising candidates for varsity debate positions next year. Pa ft Ont Hundred Twenty-two First Year Women's Debate ONSISTING of both upperclassmen and underclassmen, the first-year debate squad is a preparatory step to varsity debate. Candidates who show merit are. at the end of the season, promoted to the varsity squad at a service conducted by Tau Kappa Alpha. November. 1929. a competitive try-out was held to choose the squad for 1929-30. Professor Kelley selected as his working squad. Lucille Adams. Dorcas Burnap. Martha Buschmeier, Ann Louise Harbison. Jennie Hunt. Isabelle Johnson. Mary McClellan. Helen Meyer, Margaret Norton. Willenc Pancost, Virginia Rhodes. Mac Smith. Harriette Treash, and Esther Vance. The question chosen was: Resolved: That the nations should adopt a policy of total disarmament except for an adequate police force.” Jennie Hunt captained the affirmative squad while Isabelle Johnson piloted the negative debaters. March 21. an affirmative squad composed of Lucille Adams. Mae Smith, and Jennie Hunt, journeyed to West Virginia Wesleyan to make their debut on the collegiate forensic platform. At the same time a negative team composed of Esther Vance, Martha Busch- meier, and Isabelle Johnson met an affirmative team from West Virginia Wesleyan on the Wittenberg platform. Both contests resulted in Wittenberg victories. An exhibition debate was held at Xenia High School, April 6. with Virginia Rhodes, Mary McClellan, and Dorcas Burnap of the affirmative opposing Martha Buschmeier, Willenc Pancost, and Isabelle Johnson of the negative. Page One Hundred Twenty-three Oratory Mills Wirick Schwart NTERING four oratorical contests the past season, Wittenberg orators won two firsts, a second, and a third place to strengthen the excellent reputation which the college holds in the field of public speaking. To Professors Brees and Kelley of the Public Speaking Department must go much of the praise for these splendid at- tainments. Speaking in the Old Line Oratorical Contest at Ohio Wesleyan. February 15. Earl Morris won second place in the state out of a field of seven entrants. Rebecca Wirick was Wittenberg’s only woman entry in oratory the past year but she ably demonstrated her ability by winning first place in the State Women’s Oratorical Association. The contest in which Miss Wirick proved herself the best woman orator in the state was held at Bluffton College. March 21. Rebecca Wirick and Earl Morris were coached by Professor P. R. Brees. Charles Schwart and Robert Mills were the other two Wittenberg representatives in oratory, both being coached by Prof. G. Vernon Kelley. Out of a field of seven. Charles Schwart won third place in the southern division of the State Peace Oratorical Association contest, held at Capitol University. April 25. In the final contest of the year, also held at Capitol University, Robert Mills was chosen as one of two speakers to represent Ohio in the national semi-finals on the Constitution. Earl Morris, Rebecca Wirick. and Robert Mills are seniors and will be lost to Witten- berg next year. Charles Schwart is a sophomore and is expected to gain honors for his school during the next two years. Pafe One Hundred Twenty-four Dramatics I i The Taming of the Shrew ACH year, it seems, the cognoscenti are offered one worthwhile play in a dramatic season replete with box office attractions and amateur theatricals.’’ This one bright spot is the Theta Alpha Phi presentation of the annual campus play. Since 1923 the dramatic fraternity has staged the following attractions, each a work of recognized literary and dramatic value: Ingomar , The Merchant of Venice. Hamlet. Robin Hood. Francesca da Rimini. and The Taming of the Shrew. Tuesday. June 4. 1929. The Taming of the Shrew was presented before a splendid audience in the natural amphitheatre near Science Hall. A prologue in the form of an induction scene was the only change made in the accepted version of the play. Louise 1 loll, as Katherina. contributed an intelligent interpretation of a difficult role. Miss Moll displayed the same captivating personality and finished technique that has characterized her work throughout her college dramatic career. Petruchio, a suitor to Katherina, was characterized by Robert Churchman with an ease and finesse that is remarkable in a college actor. Churchman deserves unlimited praise as the best undergraduate actor it has been our pleasure to watch in recent years. Sub-leads were ably handled by Miss Short and Mr. Pettit. In fact, the entire supporting cast de- serves commendation. The play was presented under the direction of Professor Paul R. Brees. Professor E. A. Jensen acted as business managei for the production. Pant One HunJreJ Tu'enhj-six Tl IE CAST . MR. LIBBY MR. BRAMKAMP MR. MILLS MR. MAUTZENROEDER MR. JOIINSON MR. WAGNER MR. RAY MILLER MR.

JACK Page One Hundred Tuenltj-tcien The Butter and Egg Man A Comedy in Three Acts EORGE KAUFFMAN’S The Butter and Egg Man’’ was presented by the senior Class at the Fairbanks Theatre, November 21. The play was exceptionally well done considering the fiasco perpetrated by the Class of 1930 in its junior production. As for the script, if there is one situation or one line that we had not heard before we must have slept through it in the current revival. Robert Churchman, as the naive but virtuous victim from Chillicothe. verified our esti- mate of his ability as set forth in another article in this volume. The part was difficult —but Churchman was equal to it. Robert Mills, as the scheming city slicker, was good, although we could have heard him even without his shouting. His partner in crime was done by Earl Morris a better debater than an actor. Hilda Wendt played well a part in which she was not well cast. Dorothy Swigcrt and George Dueser displayed considerable talent in minor roles. The part to which Elizabeth Cummings aspired could not have been done well by any actress. The author who could create such a preposterous character must have been insane. Lesser roles were well handled. An excellence was found in these minor parts that was refreshing. Critics and audience alike were pleased with the players. By common consent we can condemn the script as atrocious.

BREES Pagt One Hundred Tuenly-nine Applesauce A Comedy in Three Acts RESENTING the baptismal class play for the new gymnasium, the Junior Class pleased a large if not aesthetically critical audience with its presentation of the three-act comedy ApplesauceFebruary 18. 1930. The piece at least convinced us that the gymnasium has satisfactory theatrical qualities. The gym builders were wise in securing good acoustics and a large stage in the structure. I he play developed a time-honored plot with equally antiquated lines. The hero, strong, handsome, lazy, thwarts the villain, ambitious, successful, confident; in win- ning the hand of the heroine — denied the man of her choice by her parents, quarrelsome, stubborn, and allegedly humorous. An uncle was included on a flimsy pretext and a gossipy neighbor for no reason at all. Gene Fast as Bill McAllister (cf. hero, above) played his part well. Stage presence, looks, a pleasing voice, combined to make the characterization commendable. Opposed to Fast, in the role of the villainous Rollo.” A1 Keck was letter perfect. There was something about Keck’s interpretation that made one think that perhaps the lad is a go-getter, a success. Anyway, the boy was there. Dorothy Straw, acting under the handicap of a recent illness, brought out all of the possibilities in a very weak part. Miss Straw, one feels, has potential, but as yet unde- veloped. capabilities in the art of dramatic expression. Margaret Lehmann and Fritz Krcugcr, as Ma and Pa respectively, did a passable job. Krueger’s beautiful singing voice is not especially well adapted for speaking parts. The remainder of the cast. Marian Gebby and Albert Berngcn. were O. K. by us. All of which only goes to show that when better plays are brought to Wittenberg —Witten- bergers can play them!

BREES Page One Hundred Thirty-one Music Wittenberg Chorus ARKING the beginning of a radically different system of organized group singing at Wittenberg, the scholastic year 1929-30 saw the old plan of men’s and women’s glee clubs discarded in favor of choral singing. The Wittenberg Chorus in its first year surpassed all the achievements of its predecessors in the field. No trips were made by the Chorus, authorities deeming it advisable to spend at least one year in training. The first public appearance of the Chorus, at the formal opening of the Field House, was greeted with wild applause and predictions of future greatness. Local musical critics foresee a national even international reputation for Wittenberg’s a capclla choristers. The formation of the Chorus is a significant step, ono which should aid the college materially in the form of desirable publicity. Even more beneficial to Wittenberg will be the chorus' contribution to the cultural background of the institution. Pair One Hundred Thirty-Jour Wittenberg Chorus Wittenberg Chorus at Gymnasium Opening OTEWORTHY among innovations in the training system adopted by the Chorus was a compulsory course in physical education. The course, devoted largely to swimming, was beneficial in developing lung and throat power in the singers. The Chorus aided campus and civic organizations in sponsoring worth-while musical programs. The Midland Choir, the Westminster Choir, and outstanding soloists were presented to Springfield and Wittenberg audiences in this manner. A large number of members of the 1929-30 Chorus will return to form the nucleus for next year’s group. Directing the infant musical organization was John Thomas Williams, professor in the School of Music. Homer C. Lindsay, undergraduate leader in the move- ment which led to the formation of the Chorus, acted as manager of the group. Page One Hundred Thirty-fioe Band PERSONNEL ROBERT ATEN ZANER ZERKLE B.

The first audition of the year was at the Convocation held in the stadium. Following this great inauguration of the year's work the band played for eight of the ten football games. As usual the band was in action at all of the pep meets, and entertained the audiences at most of the basketball games. Professor Anton Bjorklund. director of the Band, successfully introduced a more diffi- cult type of music than college bands usually attempt. Lowell Baxter, author of the new fight song acted as assistant director. With only a few men lost by graduation the band anticipates an even more pretentious year for I930-'31.

I ry-outs early in the fall augmented the already large personnel, and work was begun immediately. The orchestra continued to give a touch of musical classicism to a regular diet of jazz tunes, mammy songs, and bar-room ditties the musical preference of the campus. Concerts were presented at the following events: Springfield Community Chest Drive luncheon, formal opening of the new Field House. Junior Class play. Youth Confer- ence Assembly. Honor Day Banquet, and Alma Mater Day ceremonies. All of these ap- pearances were marked by excellent performances and appreciative receptions. Especially noteworthy was the beautiful symphonic effect secured by the orchestra working in con- junction with the Choir at the opening of the Field House. The only trip made by the Orchestra was a jaunt to Mechanicsburg, where a good performance was well received. Anton Bjorklund acted as conductor of the group, while Martha Demarest. first violin, was conccrtmeister.

At first a virtual subsidiary of Boost “W , Blue Key has since legislated itself into a position of prominence among under- graduate organizations. Perhaps the outstanding function of Blue Key is the sponsoring of the annual Visitation Week-End.” Each year the organization invites hundreds of high school seniors to visit Wittenberg College for a period of observation and entertainment.

Euterpea has for its motto: Curae Nihil Impossible Although there have been times when the Eutcrpcan Literary Society seemed to be slowly drifting, it strives always for progress. The society was divided for several years into a junior and a senior Euterpea, which arrangement proved successful for a time. It was reorganized in 1921 into one body, and membership was placed on a scholarship basis. The aim of Euterpea is to create a greater desire for literary work among the girls of the school, and to encourage and develop whatever talents each member may possess. Miscellaneous programs arc given and at some time during the year, each member is given the opportunity to take part. Faculty members also participate.

Programs, consisting of national songs, dances, and pageants drawing large, crowds and open to all students of the college, characterize the activity of the Club.

Asia, and South America, the Cosmopolitan Club forms at the present time a compact and friendly group doing a great deal toward helping newcomers from abroad to adjust them- selves to American life.

Four ORGANIZATIONS Fraternities Inter-Fraternity Council ROADENING the scope of its activities, taking upon itself new responsibility and new authority, increasing its strength through internal organiza- tion. the Inter-fraternity Council enjoyed a most successful year in 1929-30. The Council sponsored an inter-fraternity smoker early in the fall for all Greek letter men. Inter- group basketball and bridge tournaments were sponsored by the organization in the winter months. Phi Mu Delta fraternity, having served the customary probation period, was admitted to membership. Pi Kappa Alpha, serving a term of suspension from the Council, was reinstated to good standing. Perhaps the most important work of the council in the past year was the forming of a constitution. The articles, forming a masterly document, were ratified by the council members and were declared ef- fective May I. The Inter-fraternity spring dance was held May 10. with Jean Goldkettc’s Orchestra furnishing the music. Dr. A. T. Volwiler acted as faculty adviser, being an inexhaustible source of technical knowledge and sound advice to the council members.

Wash- ington and Jefferson colleges were combined. Alpha chapter of Phi Gamma Delta was moved to Washington. Pennsylvania. Before 1860 the fraternity numbered twelve chapters, and after 1865 two new chapters were installed annually. The national fraternity has been a pioneer in advocating a system of central organization. There are now seventy chapters in colleges and univer- sities throughout the country and in Canada. Sigma society of Wittenberg College was granted a charter in 1884, and became Sigma chapter of Phi Gamma Delta. It was the fourth fraternity to be founded on the campus.

Kappa Phi has enjoyed a substantial progress during its eight year’s existence as a unit in Wittenberg’s social life. Its members enter numerous fields of endeavor, always keeping in mind the ideals of the founders: ’’a spirit of democracy toward its Alma Mater, an unswerving faith in one Supreme Being, and the promotion of scholastic activity among its members.” The Kappa Phi fraternity enjoys the distinction of being the only men’s group on the campus to maintain a housemother on the premises.

The group was established as Beth chapter of the Sadhc Alcph fraternity in May. 1923. In 1928, the chapter voluntarily relinquished its charter, the members forming the local fraternity. Alpha Theta Alpha. During the past year Alpha Theta Alpha has completed Interfraternity Council probation requirements, and has been admitted to membership in that body.

Exchange dinners were sponsored at regular intervals throughout the year. The annual Pan-Hellenic tea dance was one of the most brilliant social events of the winter season. The Council again experimented with the plan of deferred rushing, perennially a moot question in sorority circles. The system has certain obvious advantages and other equally obvious disadvantages. Cut-throat rushing was successfully eliminated, but sorority women paid the customary price—six weeks of neglected duties while frenzied rushing was the order of the day. Miss Ruth Immell and Miss Rose Cadwgan are faculty advisers to the organization.

Lewisburg. Pennsylvania. November II. 1924. It was or- ganized as a democratic non-sorority group in order to provide the advantages of organized group life to those not affiliated with a sorority. In April. 1928. final steps were taken to make Lanterna Laetitiae a national open sorority, known as Sigma Sigma Delta. Alpha chapter was established as Buckncll University. Since then chapters have been chartered at Susquehanna University. Sclingsrove, Pennsylvania. Northwestern University. Evanston. Illinois. Marietta College. Marietta. Ohio, and Wittenberg College. Sigma Sigma Delta is a non-sorority organization in that it draws its members from the non-sorority group. It is not anti-sorority, as its members arc willing and eager to cooperate with the sororities in the improvement of campus social life. Therefore it is best known as an open sorority, because it invites into membership all girls not affiliated with another social sorority. Fcrncliff Dormitory League was founded October I I. 1923. by a group of non-sorority dormitory girls who desired a democratic social organization within the dormitory. The League remained a local association until May 14. 1928. when it became Delta chapter of Sigma Sigma Delta.

Dutch Miller and Vic Maurer, former Wittenberg luminaries, coached the promising Frosh aggregation. THE KING IS DEAD . . . LONG LIVE THE KING” The Buckeye Conference, strong central Ohio Intercollegiate Athletic Association, changed from the Big Six to the Big Five when Wittenberg College withdrew from membership after charges of professional- ism were hurled, denied, reiterated. The controversy over the interpretation of amateurism smouldered for two years, was fanned into flame when O. C. Bird. Ohio University athletic director, hurled charges of pro- fessionalism at Wittenberg. Other mentors followed Bird’s lead and succeeded in forcing Wittenberg's resignation. Only Cincinnati, with whom Wittenberg has always enjoyed friendly athletic relations, refused to be party to the discriminatory, unsavory act. Collegians chuckled, sports followers laughed at the charming situation whereby Ohio University. Ohio Wesleyan. Little Lord Fauntleroys of the gridiron, ejected the bad boy from their playground.

Coach Stobbs began his career as foot- ball mentor at Wittenberg College by decisively defeating Bluff ton in the season’s opener. September 29th. The scoring began early in the first quarter when a short pass—Lanning to Walton -resulted in a touchdown after a leisurely march down the field. Again in the second quarter the Lutherans staged a march from mid-field to the four-yard line, from which point Plummer plunged for the second touchdown. In the second half Lanning followed almost perfect interference on a wide end run for 55 yards and a touchdown. A few minutes later Lanning caught a Bluffton punt on his own 25 yard line and twisted and squirmed his way through the entire opposing team in a beautiful run for the fourth touchdown. Captain Edwards made good three of the four attempts for point after touchdown. Heidelberg University WITTENBERG 13 — HEIDELBERG 0 EIDELBERG’S Student Princes fur- nished strong opposition for Witten- berg’s Tigers when they clashed at the stadium October 19th. Taking advant- age of the “breaks’’ in the form of six Wittenberg fumbles, the Tiffin team threatened to score on several occasions. Each time, however, the rather half-hearted Lutheran team came through to check the rally. Wittenberg’s first score came early in the first half when Captain Edwards recovered a Heidelberg fumble. A series of forward and lat- eral passes was climaxed by a touchdown plunge by Smith. Near the end of the game the redoubt- able Doug intercepted a desperate Heidelberg pass and ran 75 yards for his second score. Just before the final gun Price stopped an almost certain Heidelberg score by a brilliant tackle of Haley, who was free on the Wittenberg twenty yard line. ’age Tu Hundred Sixteen Ohio State University ITTENBERG bowed in defeat to a stronger team at Columbus, October 5th, after holding the Ohio State team to a scoreless tie for two quarters. In the third quarter McConnell intercepted a Wittenberg pass in mid-field, juggled the ball while running some twenty yards, then carried it over for a touchdown. The Lutherans brought out a spectacular defense which held the Buckeyes scoreless until late in the last period when an intercepted pass and a blocked punt gave State two more touchdowns. Edwards and Zarna on the line, and Smith and Price in the backfield were important cogs in Wittenberg’s magnificant de- fensive machine.

Wittenberg gained a total of 230 yards from scrimmage while holding the Granville eleven to 38 yards. Twice in the first quarter Smith bucked the ball over for touchdowns after Kazmeicr’s brilliant cut-backs, and Smith’s line plunges had placed the ball in scoring position. Again in the third quarter Wittenberg scored when Lanning tossed a pass to Marty behind the Denison goal line. A shower of Denison passes threatened to break the scoring deadlock in the fourth quarter, but a great Wittenberg pass de- fense completely smothered the aerial attack, and the game end- ed without further scoring. Lanning Pair Tux Hundred Eighteen I lolsapfcl Miami University MIAMI 3 — WITTENBERG 0 N EXCURSION crowd from Wittenberg had an otherwise perfect day wrecked when a Miami field goal in the first period proved to be the only score for either team. The Big Red clearly outplayed the heavier Lutherans during the first half and well into the third period, when Lutheran substitutes brought new life into the game. In the last quarter a forward pass from a place kick formation fell short of a first down by inches, giving the ball to Miami, and averting a possible Lutheran score. With four minutes to play Wittenberg opened a passing barrage in scoring territory. A long pass, headed for the waiting arms of Ted Marty, was intercepted by a Miami backfield man to stop the final threat of the visitors. Smith. Plummer, and Price led the attack in the second half.

Two runs totalling 20 yards by Plummer and a long pass. Smith to Walton, resulted in the score. Shortly after the next kick-off Plummer made a spectacular return of a punt to bring the ball to the Bearcats’ 33 yard line. From this point a long pass was hurled to Marty who caught the pigskin while lying on his back in the mud. back of Cincy’s goal line. With but a few minutes to play. Edwards kicked off to Cin- cinnati’s five yard line. Bursiek, a substitute half-back, brought the crowd to its feet by return- ing the ball through the entire Wittenberg team the length of the field for Cincinnati’s only score.

Marty took the first kick-off of the game on his own five yard line, and carried the ball to mid-field before being stopped by the last de- fense man guarding the Wesleyan goal line. Edwards attempted a place kick from the 40 yard line but the kick was short. A fumble on the Bishop’s seven yard line in the second half ended a long march down the field. At the beginning of the second half Plummer took the kick-off and was not stopped until he crossed the goal line 90 yards away. The referee aroused the crowd to anger by refusing to allow the touchdown, ruling that Plummer had step- ped out of bounds on his own 48 yard line. Campbell led a Wesleyan drive which fell seven yards short of a touchdown in the latter part of the game. Wit- tenberg retaliated by carrying the ball to Wesleyan’s 23 yard line as the game ended. Price Walton Page Two Hundred Twenty-one Washington and Jefferson College WASHINGTON AND JEFFERSON 13 WITTENBERG 0 LARGE contingent of Wittenberg fans treked to Washington. Pennsylvania, where they saw the Tiger go down fighting before a strong W. J. team on November 9th. The playing field, used also for practice by the Presidents, was bare of sod and had been turned into a veritable sea of mud by a heavy rain. Wittenberg’s heavier opponents were able to gain ground consistently on bucks and sweeping end runs. Rush scored both touchdowns with a forty yard run and a twenty yard run in the first and last quarters respectively. On a fake punt formation in the last period Paetznick was thrown behind his own goal line for a safety when he attemp- ted to carry the ball from the eight yard line. Edwards was the mainstay of the strong Wittenberg de- fense. while Plummer played a good game in the backfield. Schneider Kazmcicr Page Two Hundred 1'uenhj-tuo Ohio University OHIO 33 WITTENBERG 6 LAYING without Edwards, Trubcy, and Plummer, all of whom were injured in the W. J. game, the Lutherans went down to defeat before Ohio University’s Bobcats in a game played in Ohio’s new stadium. November 22d. The strong and versatile Ohio machine, undefeated champion of the Buckeye, was able to gain ground almost at will although three times the Lutherans held for downs in the shadow of their own goal posts. Paetznick In the third quarter with the score 27 to 0. Wittenberg showed championship form in a drive down the field for a touchdown. It was the second score made against Ohio during the season. I he game was played on a soggy field, with a chilling wind occa- sionally carrying flurries of snow across the gridiron. Trubey Pa ge Two Hundred Twenty-three University of Dayton WITTENBERG 8 — DAYTON 0 N THE final game of the season Wittenberg returned to winning form, defeating the Dayton Flyers 8 to 0 in the annual Thanksgiving Day classic. The full team, with the injured men back in harness, represented Wittenberg and outplayed Dayton in every phase of the game. Wittenberg made eight first downs while holding Dayton to two. A scries of lateral passes and reverse plays in the second quarter, with Lanning and Smith doing most of the ball carrying, ended when Lanning crashed over for the touch- down. In the third quarter Beacom, a substitute end. broke through the Dayton line to throw a Dayton back behind his own goal line for a safety, completing the afternoon’s scoring. Edwards, playing with a weak shoulder, won the commendation of Walter Eckcrsall, all-time All-American, who refereed the game. Paetznick also played a stellar role in the last act of his football career. In spite of the extreme cold the game was fast and fumbles were infrequent. Pa(e Two Hundred Twenty-four Freshman Football ORTY-FIVE men responded when Coaches Miller and Maurer issued the first call for freshman football candidates on September IOth. Of the forty-five freshman grid warriors, fifteen had come to Wittenberg with enviable high school records, while several more were discovered who will give veterans a battle for varsity berths next year. The monotony of hard work, with which every freshman grid candidate is familiar, was even more intense this year than it has been in previous years. Competition was keen, and any yearling who earned a regular position was well worth the fifty grand a year or whatever it was the Buckeye outcasts arc paying him for his services to Alma Mater. On the line. Art Mcdcr, Forest Neuman. Allan Stobbs, Joe Mudre, Miles Pence, and Ralph Rittersbach showed to advantage. Bill Fenner and “Tim Brewster were the mainstays of the backfield. although a fine supporting cast including Nelson Orth. Bob Harmon, and others helped cause trouble for the varsity.

Continuing the road trip to Cleveland. Wittenberg met and defeated John Carroll December 28 by a score of 31-21. Kreeger and Maurer, who scored ten and nine points respectively, led the smooth attack which was witnessed by a large crowd. December 30 the last of the games on the road trip was played at Dover, against a professional team made up of former college stars. Maurer, playing before a home town crowd scored 14 points.

Dayton offered Wittenberg strong opposition January 6 when Lutheran shots seemed to be consistently wild, but Captain Maurer scored 10 points and led his team to a 25-20 win. Rearick played a strong defensive game, holding the Dayton threat. Ladner, to two goals. Wittenberg lost her first B. A. A. game to Miami January II, after playing a tight defensive game the first half, and holding the score at 11-10. The second half Miami showed more fight and better team work and ran up twenty more points while Wittenberg scored only eleven. January 14 Heidelberg invaded Springfield with a strong reputation for defensive work. Their attack against Wittenberg seemed weak and the Lutherans played a clever brand of ball to win 36-1 3. Kish, playing at guard, not only broke up many of Ohio’s scoring plays, but also made ten points to lead the Tigers to a 31-19 victory when the Bobcats came to Springfield January 17. The game was fast and rough. With the score 13-6 in Cincinnati’s favor at the half. Wittenberg came back and knotted the score at 19-19 with only a minute to play in a game at Cincinnati January 21. Gervers, a substitute forward for Cincinnati, ruined Wittenberg’s chances with a field goal with twenty seconds to go. and the game ended 21-19. Gandrup, flashy Wesleyan forward, proved too much for Wittenberg January 25. when he scored 18 points in the Lutherans first defeat on their home floor.

The Bearcats, who had defeated Wittenberg earlier in the season, and one of the strongest B. A. A. teams, lost a thrilling contest before a capacity crowd by a 29-18 score. After losing to the comparatively weak Ohio University team in a loose game February 19 by a score of 43-31 the ‘Fighting Lutherans’’ showed that they deserved that name when they completely outplayed the Bishop team at Delaware. February 22. Wittenberg scored ten points before Wesleyan made a point. Eiscle scored fifteen points and was di- rectly responsible for most of the other twenty-one made by the Tigers. The final score was 36-23. At no time was Wesleyan within four points of a tic score. Led by Kreeger, who scored seventeen points, and Eiscle. who scored only one but played the cleverest game exhibited before Wittenberg fans during the season. Wittenberg ran down the curtain on basketball for the season with a 41-22 victory over Denison Feb- ruary 28. The Baptists at the opening of the season were the B. A. A. cellar occupants but before the Wittenberg game had defeated Wesleyan. Ohio, and Miami. Captain Maurer, in his last college game, played a hard, fighting brand of ball against a team that refused to be discouraged by the one-sided score.

The association was the outgrowth of a meeting of tennis enthusiasts from various Ohio colleges gathered on the Wittenberg campus. The Lutherans arranged a schedule which included matches with Ohio Wes- leyan. Earlham. Ohio State. Antioch. Youngstown College. Ohio Northern, and Cincinnati. The local swordsmen finished the schedule winner of the association trophy. League records show that Wittenberg won seven matches and were defeated twice.

Managers arranged a difficult schedule in which were included games with the following schools: Antioch. Denison. Ohio Wesleyan. Earlham. Cincinnati. The Wittenberg netmen. ineffective in early season games, rounded into a powerful squad by the end of the schedule. Followers of the pastime voice predictions that a tennis league, comparable with the new fencing association is about to be formed. Such an organization would do much to further the interests of collegiate and intercollegiate tennis. Earl Morris, one-time college singles champion, captained the team through the season.

Page Two Hundred Forly-three Boo Six FEATURES Springfield’s Gift to Wittenberg Springfield’s Gift to Wittenberg HROUGH nearly a score of years Wittenberg College has recognized a need for a modern gymnasium that grew more and more imperative with each succeeding year. In 1928 the administration launched a drive that terminated only when a splendid new building took its place on the campus. The campaign drive of 1928 was conducted by a citizen’s committee com- posed of men who gave unstintingly of their time and money in securing the funds which made possible the project. Springficldcrs rallied in support of the drive and presented the committee with over a quarter of a million dollars in the course of the cam- paign. With financial backing assured, ground was broken for the $400,000 structure November 24. 1928. The gymnasium and Field House, fifth building to be erected on the campus since 1923. was ready for occupancy in the fall of 1929. Superb in architectural design, splendidly equipped, wisely planned, the structure won immediate and voluble commenda- tion from all sides. Formal presentation of the building was made February 14. 13. in an impressive cere- mony.

Pag Two Hundred Forty-tight Gymnasium Features The Swimming Pool The Gymnasium in Process of Construction Part of Crowd at Formal Opening Ceremony Nearly Completed Basketball Floor at Game Time MODERN Field House and gymnasium are, of course, the outstanding features of the building. There are many other points of interest in the physical education plant, however, which make it one of the best structures of its kind in the country. The chief attraction of the ground floor is the swimming pool, 75 feet long and 25 feet wide. The natatorium underlies a skylight which permits exposure to the sun’s rays throughout the day. Locker rooms and showers occupy much of the remaining ground floor space. The health building includes a large electrically equipped stage, reception rooms, trophy corridors, team rooms, class rooms, and faculty offices. The second floor presents corrective gymnasium facilities, special exercise rooms, and a hall equipped to accommodate student meetings. On the third floor is a series of examination and exercise rooms. A large central heating plant located in the northwest corner of the building supplies the heat for five campus buildings including the gymnasium itself.

And then you will travel your own road in your own manner. You will belittle my sage observations. You will disregard my entreaties. You will ignore my exhortations.

Youth he has known, and folly. He is not infallible, neither is he incorruptible. Treat him with respect but not with adulation. He is a man—no more, no less. d Life will give you three great blessings; love, laughter, and leisure. Consider the first as a malady ; the second as a panacea ; the third as an art. c The campus politician is the world s greatest martyr.

DAILY HALF-WITT Published occasionally Who cares? Sensational Expose of Frat Life! ! ! Blarnegie Foundation Report Released —o— Brothers Moan as Secret Societies are Panned Tomorrow the Assassinated Press will carry a copyrighted article on college fraternal or- ganizations. will include the merciless report of the Blarnegie Foundation. In this issue the DAILY HALF-WITT, always intrepid, progressive, agressive, publishes excerpts from that report. The historical essays anent divers Greek bodies arc found voluminous, vociferous, in the Blarnegie Foundation files. The DAILY HALF-WITT, fearless, facile- motto. Veritas uber Alles —presents its own modern outline of history. CHI OMEGA It seems that a couple of traveling salesmen stopped at a farm house . . . and the farmer’s daughter wasn’t home! The fact is that she was at coilitch founding a home for farmer’s daughters who lived away from traveling salesmen's routes. The home was later called Chi Omega, although it is frequently called much worse names. The colors are pastel shades, trimmed with white lead. Each year the sisters in dear old Chi Omega present a prize to some hard working student. All of which proves that they have charity— they had to have faith and hope to keep going as long as they have. The girls still have Jack Bowman, and a singing cup. PHI KAPPA PSI Phi Kappa Psi was never founded, it hap- pened -like an earthquake or a plague. It was rumored that a canned heat eater had something to do with it. but that poor soul denied having any knowledge of the crime. The fraternity colors are awful. The coat- of-arms is a keg surmounted by a high hat and a couple of soda straws. The boys arc trying to show that students can be both scholars and gentlemen. They have not proved their point, yet they have sundry scholarship cups. Draw your own conclusions. The fraternity has Bill Vare Olson, as he is known in local political circles, and several used Fords. BETA THETA PI Beta Theta Pi was founded on the morning after the night before by Mcphistophclcs. Lon Chancy, and an unidentified tramp. It seems that the boys had been whooping it up when a Greek policeman censored the words to Down in the Lehigh Valley. substituting Beta Theta Pi”—which means the same thing. The boys never bothered about adopt- ing any colors, unless you count the charac- teristic prison pallor. A rumor that Beta Theta Pi was a frater- nity was branded a malicious lie by a sena- torial investigation committee, working in conjunction with the Department of Vital Statistics. Well, anyway, the boys have Markley. Brother Jazz.” and a few more big shots. Page Two Hundred Sixty-six DAILY HALF-WITT ALPHA DELTA PI Amelia Clutts. eminent suffragette and birth-control advocate, and Sophie Daven- port. moonstruck, moronic, and middle-aged, founded Alpha Delta Pi during the cold spell in '96. The colors are black and blue and what they signify is nobody's business. The sisters heard Van Riper lecture on Mass Production” once, and proceeded to produce a new house. Masses of freshmen are still paying for it. The Alpha Delts have a Sweetheart Song, the Phi Gam complex, and Margaret Lehmann. PHI GAMMA DELTA Phi Gamma Delta was founded sometime last week by a drunken sailor and two grind organ monkeys. The colors are white and old rose (symbolic of the bloodshot eyes of the members). At the last census there were 752 active chapters, although the number has probably trebled since. The Wittenberg subsidiary of Phi Gamma Delta annually pledges 35 yearlings, of whom 2 or 3 arc initiated. The Phi Gams have All- American Marty, a Cadillac sedan, and the Alpha Delts. ALPHA XI DELTA This society for the advancement of rose cultivation was founded A. D., O tempora, O mores! It was named Alpha Xi Delta under the delusion that the Greek letters sig- nified Body by Fisher. The colors arc lip- stick red and Lucky Strike white. The local branch office has been designated the best chapter of Alpha Xi Delta. (Parson, breathe a prayer for the national order). The goils have a scholarship cup. Margaret Sittlcr. and a first mortgage on a Nash roadster. PI KAPPA ALPHA Sired by Southern carpet-baggers and damned by everybody. Pi Kappa Alpha came into existence way back when hoop skirts surrounded yards of flannel petticoats. The colors are ultra-violet and infra-red. The number of active chapters is only surpassed by the number of passive members. The meaning of the Greek letters might be “E Pluribus Unum - but it ain't. Its Darwin was right. Local Pi Kaps proudly refer to themselves as One of the very few northern chapters of an aristocratic Southern fraternity. Other Northerners murmur devoutly. Thank God. The boys have the inevitable curly-haired gift, a trick bon-fire for serenades, and a cannon in the front yard. ALPHA TAU OMEGA One Eyed Connolly founded Alpha Tau Omega in a padded cell at Saint James In- firmary. Seventy-nine football players and Jack Johnson were the charter members. Johnson later resigned. Fraternity colors are beer amber and creme de menthe green. The coat of arms includes ten footballs, two baseballs, five basketballs, and one textbook. The textbook is symbolic of athletes who have failed to make the grade. At that, the A. T. O.’s have the basketball team, the football team, and the mighty Morris.

Life is blue harmony, throbbing with pain. Life is exultant, a blaring refrain. Life is a dirge there is death in its strain. Melody frantic, and futile, and old. Little you tell me and much you withhold. All of your drabness to me you unfold. All of the tales that were best left untold. Life seems unending, a song far ahead. But it is finite—and some strains have fled. They seemed to whisper to me as they sped. Brief is the song 'till you’re dead, damn you. dead!
