PHESIIIEINIT (le i £dxfCi i lulloAA, President Tulloss is just completing his twenty-second year as “Our Prexy.” In addi- tion to regular arduous duties, he now has the difficult task of directing a college on a war- time basis and directing a campaign for more than a million dollars. Dr. Tulloss received his A.B. degree from Wittenberg and his B.D. from Hamma Di- vinity School. He studied at Johns Hopkins University. Harvard bestowed on him his Ph.D. His D.D. came from Lenoir Rhyne, and Muhlenberg presented him his LL.D. This year, under his direction, the three-year plan of study for the duration of the war was begun. In this way, with summer sessions, a four-year course may be completed in less than three years. He has devoted himself tirelessly to the Wittenberg Campaign. One year ago the college approved the drive. Since then, President Tulloss has traveled unceasingly to pro- mote Wittenberg’s cause, so that she may maintain herself among the best institutions of higher learning in the country. Because of his efforts Wittenberg has been re-accepted by the Association of Ameri- can Universities; Hamma has been accepted by the Association of American Theological Schools. “Our prexy’s” persistence and selflessness in this crisis have won again for Wittenberg. His loyalty and wisdom and far-seeing vision have guided Wittenberg surely and di- rectly along the road to progress. His unfailing interest in the students and his rare un- derstanding of human nature have endeared him to all of us. He is for Wittenberg—and we are for him—Rees Edgar Tulloss—“Our Prexy.” Page Eight DEAIMS 2)e 2 t GltasdeA. Q. Slud eA. As dean of the college, Dr. Shatzer’s duties bring him into direct contact not only with the problems of individual students, but also those of administration. For forty-one years he has been associated with Wittenberg faculty, the last twenty-seven as dean. He received his A.B. from Wittenberg, and the degree of Sc.D. from Susquehanna University. He is coordinator of Civil Aex-onautics Administration of the college and Springfield Air Service. At present he is working on a revision of Wittenberg’s curriculum in an effort to accelerate the program. Believes firmly that the college curriculum must fit the students, not vice-versa. ubeatt (lidk DmmelL A model of quiet graciousness as well as of the efficiency of the modern woman is Miss Ruth Immell, dean of women. Her wisdom and experience has, for almost two dec- ades, been a source of help and of inspiration to campus women. Both her degrees, A.B. and A.M., came from the University of Pennsylvania. Freshman Orientation, classes, chair- man of the Alma Mater committee, sponsor for W.W.L., Pan-Hellenic Council, Y.W.C.A., and Arrow and Mask are a few of her regular duties. She belongs to the American Wom- en’s Volunteer Service, believing that women can help with defense program in many ways. Morale, she says, is a woman’s problem. fe, cJt. PefiAltutcj, For more than fifteen years, Dr. Pershing has been advising undergraduate Witten- bergers in his capacity as dean of students. Unfailing in helpful ideas, perspicacious in personality, he has been an ever-ready source of sound advice when the student needs it. He has constantly maintained an active interest in the extra-curricular activities and is advisor to numerous campus organizations. Dean Pershing received his A.B. from Wit- tenberg, his B.D. from Hamma. The University of Pittsburgh awarded his A.M., Chicago University his Ph.D. His D.D. degree came from Thiel. In the past year he has served as chairman of the college Committee for Defense.

Pag? Tu'cnty-Tu-i ■ J� u$)sk S’ M® «J� JJS«.� � a CLASS OF FORTY-TWO Four years of grind produce men and women of the world, smooth and polished by a college education. This year’s class points with pride to one of the best sets of all-round people any college has seen—orators, journalists, actors, athletes, scientists, future min- isters, home ec-sperts, musicians. What lies ahead for them nobody knows. Most draft boards allowed seniors to finish, many will go into the army and navy and various phases of military service in June. Science majors will enter defense industries. The seniors rated nine of the eleven campus leaders selected by the student body in December. Outstanding is Don Endter, editor of the 1941 Wittenberger and Peg Hadde, Alma Mater. Kuusisto broke a precedent and succeeded himself as editor of the Torch. Lymangrover, Caton, and Reusswig excelled as super athletes. Sam Diehl goes to the ministry. McGregor, Bulkley, Renz are charming and outstanding senior women. Wickey and Weygandt are the career girls. Pauline Gott is the Sarah Bernhardt of the class, while Jane Voelker makes the piano keys talk. Brain-trusts like Albx-ight and Schreiber keep the class point-average high. It’s really quite an outfit, gifted and talented, prepared and ready with courage and determination to meet that which lies ahead.

Page Thirty-Two CLASS OF FORTY-THREE After looking up to others for two long years they are now looked up to as upperclass- men. The juniors have acquired sophistication. More and more, instead of taking general required subjects, they specialize. Most of them have declared their majors and minors. Now in the prime of college life the juniors are active as leaders in campus organizations —looking forward to ever greater responsibility next year. Several members of the class of ’43 have distinguished themselves as BMOC’s. Earl Fisher is active in sports and intramurals and a class officer. Flora Miller is the perfect activities girl—busy this year on the Wittenberger. Swoyer works on the Torch and main- tains a rocket-high point average. When it comes to real cheer leading—it’s Don Kaiser. Jane McCroba and H. G. Williams vocalize. In dramatics it’s Marge Pabst and Ed Val- bracht. For the juniors the big project of the year is the publishing of the yearbook— Dave Bremer is editor and Sam Sachs is financier. For the juniors there is one more year, provided that Uncle Sam does not call them into service. Many will probably take the summer course and be graduated in February. In any event the juniors have already carved for themselves niches in Wittenberg’s Hall of Fame and are now prepared to move on to even greater distinctions.

CLASS (IF FORTY THIIEE Page Thirty-Eight CLASS OF FORTY-FOUR The class of ’44 is happy to realize that no longer is it deeply green and woefully inex- perienced. Its members have proved their worth by successfully completing one year of college life, and, so, have now become a part of Wittenberg. Those aspiring to positions of campus leadership are striving hard to make a name for themselves. In every field of endeavor the sophomores are slowly rising from the ranks. Next year they will edit the yearbook, hold offices in honoraries, and take over many phases of college activity. The sophs are coming into their own. “Holky” has established herself as one of the class pride-and-joys by being named Miss Wittenberger. Stan Schmucker is slated as a future BMOC. This year he was one of the assistant editors of the yearbook. President George Trent has proved his talent in dramatics as well as in classes and labs. Frank Bales and “Sugar” Cain have entrenched themselves firmly in the college heart as basketball regulars. Miriam Jenkins, who is a good bet as a future star of the Little Theater, also debates and represents Kappa Delta in the beauty section. John Martin divides his time among chemistry, debate, and radio. George and Laura Roye have proved that swing and sweet music can come from the same family. Betty Netts is the brainstorm of the class. Dale Seiders, one of last year’s “most representative,” leads a well-rounded college life. Petri, Ryman, and Erb are three promising gridders. The sophs are all right; they’ll do things for Wittenberg.

OF FORTY-FOUR CLASS Page Forty-Four CLASS OF FORTY-FIVE Gettie+ticd GIgMI 1845-1945 Upon the sacred threshold of higher education they first feared and trembled, but after memorable days, the frosh found their bearings and began to act like real Wittenberg- ers. Then came rushing and pledging, along with many new and thrilling college experi- ences. Soon they discovered that the walk up to Reccy was not a mile long, and that it is possible to travel from Carnegie to HPE Building in five minutes. Then came the inevitable exams where some freshmen were to realize for the first time that college is tougher than high school. Those who “couldn’t take it” dropped out at semesters, but they were few. The survivors came through chasened and newly resolute. They are more than the Class of ’45. They have the special honor of being the Cen- tennial Class, for when they are graduated Wittenberg College will be one hundred years old. This is already a great class in Wittenberg’s history. By new efforts it becomes even greater. Within their ranks frement the athletes, the orators and debaters, the actors, the journalists, the office-holders who very shortly will be assuming campus responsibilities. The three years that lie ahead will pass all too quickly, each one faster than the previous. Interests will broaden and friendships deepen as they enter more completely into “our strenuous life.” CLASS OFFICERS President....................James Carvclcs Vice-President....Winifred Stewart Secretary..............Mary Boehm Treasurer............Jane Wagner Sergeant-at-Arms........Edna Riley Page Forty-Five First Row: ALTON ALLBECK, Springfield.

Fifty-One WHO'S WHO AT W C EVERY COLLEGE HAS ITS BMOC’s, and Wit- tenberg is no exception. In any campus situation a few will always distinguish themselves and rise to positions of leadership in various phases of college activity. This year’s crop of outstanding collegians has been neatly classified and pigeon-holed under the headings of: campus leaders, scholars, athletes, and beauties. Selection of these students was made in a variety of ways. Campus leadex-s, eleven in all, were the first to be chosen. A surprise election, to prevent political campaigning, was conducted by the Wittenberger staff at convocation on December 15, resulting in the election of seven men and four coeds as campus leaders. Nine were seniors; two, juniors. As their leaders, students selected heads of publications, the leadere of student government, and the directors of religious ox-ganizations. Then came the selection of the scholax-s and ath- letes. Feeling that the average student was not in a position to make these choices, the staff tui’ned the job over to the faculty. The deans selected the six outstanding scholars from a list prepared by the registrar. They chose three seniors, two juniors, and one sophomoi-e. The coaches named the six outstand- ing athletes. Abandoning a custom of allowing each sorority to select its own beauty, this year’s staff placed the se- lection of Wittenberg’s beautiful women in the hands of the campus men. Each soroi ity is repx-esented as i-ecognition of its effort in the sale of yearbooks. Chi Omega sold the most books, thereby receiving the special honor of selecting one of that sorority as Miss Wittenberger. Alma Mater was elected last spring by coed vote fx-om a list of eligible candidates.

Bo it W The Boost Wittenberg Association originally or- ganized for the promotion of Wittenberg drives, on and off the campus, financially and otherwise. Its purpose has changed from time to time; at present the main job is the development and maintenance of school spirit. Boost W is the all-college governing council for men. In its organization are the Director of Physical Education, Dean of Men, College Business Manager, Director of Publicity. The president of each of the following groups appoints a representative for the council: all social fraternities, Dorm League, Torch, Wittenberger, Witt, YMCA, Interfraternity Council, Band, Orchestra, and Choir. Gil Rea is president; Robert Boger, vice-president; Stanley Malcuit, secreatry; Mr. E. A. Jensen, col- lege business manager, treasurer. Among its regular functions is the sponsoring of several all-college dances during the course of the year, managing elections, Homecoming week-end, pep rallies, activities honors day. Last spring Boost W inaugurated Hobo Day when students paraded on campus and in classroom in old clothes. Boost W is now undertaking several projects in connection with the national emergency. W. W. £. “I believe that I am responsible for the mainte- nance of the worthiest college standards and tradi- tions by enshrining in my life steadfast honor, high idealism and true loyalty. I believe that only in this way can I aid in the fulfilling of her (Wittenberg’s) purpose—‘Having light, we pass it on to others.’ ” That, in essence, is the creed to which each new council member of the Wittenberg Women’s League pledges faith upon initiation. WWL is not only the ruling council for campus women; it is also to en- courage them scholastically, socially and in activi- ties. Twelve members are on the council; four seniors, four juniors, two sophomores, and two freshmen. The upperclassmen are elected by campus women in the spring, the freshmen in the fall. The first social event of the college year is WWL’s tea for freshman girls. The annual Harvest Hop and the Spring Formal are all-college dances in charge of the council. The election of Alma Mater from among the juniors, the highest honor to come to a Wittenberg coed, is sponsored by WWL during sec- ond semester. Margaret Hadde is px-esident; Betty McGregor, vice-president; Lois Siegel, secretary; Gex aldine Sampson, treasurer. Page Sixty-Two SPEECH Jau Kofifia AlfUta Tau Kappa Alpha is the national honorary for- ensic fraternity. To this organization are elected students who have distinguished themselves in pub- lic speaking and represented Wittenberg in oratory or debate. Among the qualifications is a 2.25 schol- astic average. The annual public speaking banquet held in the late spring, is sponsored by the group for those active in forensic work. At this banquet first year debaters and orators are pledged to the organization. Also in the spring, Tau Kappa Alpha sponsors a high school forensic contest with scholarship awards for the purpose of inducing good high school speak- ers to come to Wittenberg. Members of this fratern- ity are often called upon to act as judges for high school debates and other speech events in the com- munity. Tau Kappa Alpha now has chapters in more than fifty colleges and universities in the United States. Members of TKA for the past season were: Kathryn Wickey, Dorothy Anstead, Ann Case, Archie Albright, David Bremer. Betty Jo Turner, and Lois Seigel. FRONT ROW: Dorothy Ansted. Betty Jo Turner.

Herschel O’Shaughnessey represented Wittenberg in the Ohio Intercollegiate Oratorical Contest held at Ohio Wesleyan in February, often refered to as the “Old Line” Contest. Speaking on the subject, “The Tragedy of the Unprepared,” O’Shaughnessey won third place for Wittenberg. John Martin was Wittenberg’s orator in the Inter- collegiate Peace Contest in May, while Dorrit Weil was in the contest sponsored by the Women’s Inter- collegiate Oratorical Association. Professor Brees and Dr. Kelly have established a fine record for Wittenberg in intercollegiate oratory. MEN'S ORATORY TEAM (left): John MartAln. Horry Ullom. Gene Volirath. Herschel O'Shaughncssey.

Page Sixty-Three DEBATE Me+i'd, 'UaMitif, bebate Debating a subject of vital national interest, “Re- solved: that the Federal Government Should Regu- late by Law all Labor Unions in the United States,” the man’s varsity squad participated in an active season of intercollegiate debates. On the squad are three seniors, three juniors, and four sophomores. In addition to the customary Ohio tours, four members of the squad, Archie Albright, David Bremer, Herschel O’Shaughnessey, and Richard Sikes, went on a three debate trip into Indiana. They engaged in debates with Earlham, Butler, Franklin, DePauw, and Purdue. While at Purdue the debaters took part in a radio discussion on the subject of dislocation of labor due to the war. During the year many members of the squad participated in radio bull-sessions, made addresses on the sub- ject, and acted as judges for high school debate contests. Other members of the team in addition to those named above are: Raymond Nickel, Edward Val- bracht, John Martin, Richard Hoefler, Bernard Koch, George Richmann. Intent on upholding the fine record Wittenberg has established in debate, the first affirmative team of Sikes and Bremer, and the first negative team of Albright and O'Shaughnessey entered the Ohio Men’s Intercollegiate Debate Conference Tourna- ment, held at Capitol University, Columbus, Ohio, March 6 and 7. Out of the nineteen colleges and universities represented, Wittenberg came through to win fourth place. At the annual speech banquet held in May special recognition was given Albright, O’Shaughnessey, and Sikes for completing four years of debating for Wittenberg. Dr. G. Vernon Kelley is debate coach. t i % % f % i MEN’S FIRST YEAR SQUAD: William Cox. William Daughtery. Gene Voll- rath.

The question which they discussed was the same as for the men, “Resolved; that the Federal Government Shall Regulate by Law All Labor Unions in the United States.” Debating the affirmative side of this question were: Marjorie Meltzer, Louise Olson, Ann Case, Lois Siegel, Miriam Jenkins. The negative argu- ments were upheld by: Marguerite Holkesvig, Betty Jo Turner, Jeannette Van Bell, Dorothy Anstead. Eight of these coeds attended the Ohio State Wo- men’s Debate tournament, held at Capital Univer- sity. December 13, in which they made a fine show- ing. The Class A team for the tournament was composed of Meltzer and Case, affirmative, with Holkesvig and Turner, negative. During the season the squad debated with Capi- tal, Earlham, Ohio Wesleyan, Denison, and Ohio University. Women'4, fyisut yean, behate With excellent material developing within Witten- berg’s debating ranks, Coach Kelley feels very en- couraged in viewing future debate prospects. The women’s first year squad showed signs of promise. Along with first year men, these coeds debated the question of compulsory military training before reaching the present draft age. Trying out on the af- firmative were Dorrit Weil, Bette Spesshardt, Mary Boehm, and Dorothy Kette. On the opposing side were Lynette Dopier, Gwen Ellis, Jean Karschner, Marilyn Kinley, Elaine Smirk. Otterbein, Capital, Ohio Unversity, Denison, Ohio Wesleyan and Earlham were among the colleges debated by the beginners. The conference tourna- ment for first year debaters was held at Ohio Uni- versity in April. WOMEN'S FIRST YEAR SQUAD FRONT ROW: Marilyn Kinley. Dorothy Kctto. Gwen Ellis. Jean Karshner.

Page Sixty-Five It AHIO “We’re on the air,” was a resurrected expression on the campus this year which dates back to the days of WCSO (Wittenberg College, Springfield, Ohio) the call letters of the once known Wittenberg radio station. With sufficient radio facilities avail- able in Springfield the college initiated “The Witten- berg Hour,” a weekly half-hour program oxx the local station. Purpose was to px ovide an outlet for the varied talents of Wittenberg students. Every second Sunday found the “boys” in Dayton “hashing” things over the air, supposedly in the same manner in which they “bull” around the fraternity houses and the dorm. Via the airways the tx-aditional college “bull session” reverberated thoughout the vicinities around WIZE. the radio voice of Springfield, and WHIO, CBS’s affiliate in the Miami Valley. Sound-proofed studios could not deaden the gusto of John Martin, and all ears were glued to the loud- speakers when the smooth, logical arguments of Archie calmed the boisterous Mr. Endter. Lack of television prevented the listeners from seeing the forceful gestures of Dave Bremer. The voices of freshmen Charles Endter and Gene Vollrath were heard often, while the feminine stand was persua- sively expounded by such as Carolyn Anspach, Lois Bell, and Gerx'y Samson. Quiet Gil Rea and debater Sikes broke occasionally into the opinonated discussions as did Bud Richmann and numerous others. The only px erequisite for a place on the “bull session” was that a student had to have an opinion about something and a willingness to express that opinion. From then on it was a matter of verbal give and take. The weekly “Wittenberg Hour” was a var- iety show arising “bull-sessions,” formal debates, music school talent, fraternity and sorority sere- nades, and the like. Winfield Kircher led the brass quartet with Ed Rodeheffer, Jack Kadel, and Eldon Matthews through many a number over WIZE in the course of the year. Ilo Miller furnished the pi- ano background for such soloists as Gordon Thor, Shirley Shefveland, and Jane McCroba. By the end of the year practically all the music school stu- dents appeared at least once on one of the weekly programs. Occasional solos by some of the talented music school professox-s afforded excellent entertain- ment. Starting eai'ly in the year and continuing from time to time throughout the football season, WIZE aired Boost “W” pep rallies with “Swavie” Kaiser leading the cheers and Professor Fritz Holcker’s 50 piece band providing the Wittenberg victory song and other resounding marches. The Lenten season was observed by the choir and Fritz Krueger inspir- ing lovers of church music all over Ohio each Sun- day afternoon with “The Hymns of the Church.” a creation of Professor William Blough, whose un- ceasing enthusiasm and guiding influence behind the scenes kept “Wittenberg on the air.” During the first semester of the year Don Endter was production manager of the radio shows while John Martin car- ried on throughout the second semester and brought the radio work to a successful close in May. With the advent of another year, more and more people will be listening to “Wittenberg on the air.” PUBLICATIONS “To bring the student body closer together by tell- ing them what happens at Wittenberg” might well be the collective object of three campus publications. The Torch is student record of past, present and future doings of students and alumni. Not only does it serve as a chronicle and a news source, but it presents an intimate picture of campus life and opin- ion through its features, editorials, sports page, and the gossip column. The editor for the past year, Al- lan Kuusisto, held the post for two years after one year of training. His editorial policy has been three- fold: (1) restoration of true college spirit; (2) re- moval of publication appointments from campus politics; (3) reviving half-dead bodies and making them assets. On the business staff, Ray Schuellcr managed the Torch’s financial affairs. The Witt, monthly humor magazine, admits it ex- ists for only one reason: to amuse the student. Betty Jo Turner and Don Stilwell are co-editors. Not be- ing faculty controlled, it can say what it wants and get away with it. The editor and business manager of the Witten- berger are elected annually by members of the Jun- ior Class, the candidates for these positions being approved by the Faculty Committee on Publications headed by Prof. K. G. Lind. The yearbook presents annually a composit picture of campus life. Pi 2 elia Pi Delta Epsilon, national college journalism fra- ternity, was organized to further the cause of col- lege journalism and to honor those active in that field. The Wittenberg chapter has existed since 1930. Editors and business managers of both the annual and the Torch are automatically eligible for mem- bership. For the others, one year of a major position or an aggregate of two years of a minor position on editorial or business staff are required for mem- bership. Present officers are: president, Elinore Wacker- nagel; vice-president, William Coombs; secretary, Allan Kuusisto; treasurer, Ann Case. FRONT ROW: Allan Kuusisto. Elinore Wackcmngd. Ann Case.

Broadly national in character, its 75 active chapters uphold the highest musical standards and ideals, pointing the way to a keener appreciation of the relation of music to living. Ex- ceptional music ability is the requirement for mem- bership. The Wittenberg chapter is known for such impor- tant annual events as the MacDowell tea in the spring, and the part it plays in “Ladies of the White House.” Each year it sponsors an intersorority song contest and holds a joint musical with Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia. President of the organization is Jane Voelker; vice-president, Jane McCroba; secretary, Helen Grace Williams; treasurer, Betty Jean Davidson; chaplain, Melvene Schumacher; sergeant-at-arms, Jane Ashelman. The local chapter of SAI is Alpha Delta. Phi Mu Alpha SitofjOuia Founded at Wittenberg in 1927, the Alpha Tau chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia is an active or- ganization on the campus. As a men’s national pro- fessional music fraternity. Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia has as its purpose the advancement of the cause ■jf music in America, and especially to foster mutual welfare and brotherhood among students of music. Students who adopt music as a profession, or work to advance the cause of music are eligible for membership, provided they have a 2.5 scholarship average. This year the group sponsored a concert by Fritz Krueger, a brother Sinfonia, several informal dances and parties, serenades, a concert of all Amer- ican music, monthly “Sinfonia Hour of Music,” a spring formal, and the Interfraternity Sing. They also broadcast over WIZE and other stations, be- sides making several recordings. Officers of Alpha Tau chapter are: president, Carl Snyder; vice-president and treasurer, Winfield Kircher; secretary, J. Windsor Riley. t f I f f t � f. f 9 ft- m f JL 'f •r I SIGMA ALPHA IOTA FRONT ROW: Jane Ashelmnn. Melvene Schumacher. Jane Voelker. Jane McCroba. BACK ROW: Helen Grace Williams. Fay Schmacher.

Gordon Zand, When you say “band” at Wittenberg, you speak of two distinct organizations: the 60 piece concert band, a coed organization, and the 40 piece, all-brass marching band, strictly for men. The marching band performed at the halves of all the home foot- ball games and at some out of town games. With their striking uniforms and precision—correct ma- neuvers, they made themselves quite a reputation. They also appeared in local parades and festivals. After the Christmas season, it was the concert band from then on. In its presentation of both class- ical and popular music, it added color and entertain- ment to the basketball games. Its music played an important role in the Centennial pageant presented at graduation. Carl Snyder was student conductor. Professor Fritz K. Holker was conductor.

Occasionally, it appears at convocation pro- grams. Several campus concerts are on its schedule, besides out of town concerts and lecture recitals. The orchestra has a vital part in furnishing the mu- sic for the Alma Mater pageant. Alternating concert-meister and -mistress are Robert Leemhuis and Irene Balogh. Director Fritz K.

The purpose of the group is to give rec- ognition for outstanding achievement and to work for campus improvements. A minimum average scholarship quotient of 2.75 for five semesters is re- quired for election to active membership. No more than eight and no less than three juniors are selected each spring and they constitute the group for the following year. This year there are five men in the group. They are: Archie Albright, Don Endter, Matthew Wiencke, Henry Cook, Bill Miller. Faculty members in Skull and Chain are: President Rees Edger Tulloss, Willis J. Baughman, Ralston Thompson, and Dean Shatzer. In addition to having a high scholastic standing the qualities of ethical character, leadership, and participation in campus activities are also required for membership. Skull and Chain tapping” is a colorful occasion each spring. (See page 116) Slue Key Gather together no less than eight senior men of unnatural ability; men who possess more than or- dinary intelligence; who have proved their superior leadership and worthy character in various activities during previous years on the campus, then let them study and discuss current issues of the campus; let them offer for consideration certain recomendations and solutions which have been carefully arrived at, and the result is bound to be an organization coop- erating toward an ever progressive Wittenberg. Such an organization is Blue Key, national senior men’s honorary, composed locally, this year, of twelve men, and meeting once a month. Each year the faculty submits to the current members a list of eligible junior men from which are to be elected no less than eight new members for the following year. The chosen men are announced during con- vocation on Activities Honor Day. Instituted on Wittenberg’s campus in 1925, Blue Key’s honorary members are: President Rees Edgar Tulloss, Dean C. G. Shatzer, and Mr. Eli Jensen. Most men on the campus hold Blue Key as the ulti- mate attainment of their under-graduate years. Page Seventy-Four HONORARY Like Skull and Chain, Pick and Pen is one of Wit- tenberg’s own organizations. This local junior men’s honorary provides an incentive for all sophomore men to attain in higher scholarship, to show greater interest in college activities, to exercise leadership along worthy channels, and to develop character. Before a man can become a member of Pick and Pen, he must have fulfilled the above requirements and be chosen unanimously by the active members. During a chapel period in the second week of May of each year, sophomore men gather on the hillside opposite Reciation Hall with the hope of being one of the few chosen men. For those who receive the “tap,” Pick and Pen signifies that the achievements of their first two years have been broad and worthy, and provides an impetus and a stepping-stone to- ward further honors. President of the group is Stan Malcuit; secretary- treasurer, David Bremer. Other members are: Don Guiton, Robert Boger, Grover Swoyer, Earl Fisher. Dr. Bloomhardt and Dean Pershing are advisors. An uuu and Malh One of the most outstanding “tap days” is that of Arrow and Mask. During chapel period someday in the spring the old members, dressed in white walk through the breathless crowd gathered beside “Reccy” and tap the five or six outstanding junior girls chosen for character, leadership, scholarship, and service. The requirements for membership in Arrow and Mask are the same as those for Mortar Board. In the fall Arrow and Mask gives a tea for all freshmen girls to encourage them to make high grades. As an added impetus Arrow and Mask gives a name engraved loving cup to the freshman girl who makes the highest grades. During graduation week Arrow and Mask has a breakfast for all the alumnae of the organization Officers this year are: Jeanette Plessinger, presi- dent; Betty McGregor, secretary; Edna Weygandt, treasurer; Peg Hadde, historian; Katherine Wickey, chaplain.

SCHOLASTIC HOI OR AlfUta Jlajnlu a jbelta Plti ta Stijsna Alpha Lambda Delta is the newest national scho- lastic honorary on the campus. The purpose of the organization is to foster scholarship among fresh- man women. The requirement for membership is a 3.5 scholarship quotient for the first semester or an average of 3.5 for the year. Making that average during her freshman year, she is entitled to four years membership and alumna privileges. In the fall Alpha Lambda Delta gives a tea for all freshman girls who make a 2.7 or better at the six or twelve weeks period. They encourage them to- ward making the necessary 3.5 required for mem- bership. On Honor Day, Alpha Lambda Delta pre- sents a book to the senior girl making the highest grades during her four years at Wittenberg. Advisor to the organization is Dean Ruth Immell. The officers of the honorary are president, Rose Bauer; vice-president, Betty Netts; secretary-treas- urer, Elinore Wackernagel; senior advisor, Jeanette Plessinger. Other members are: Minerva Heimel, Mary Elizabeth Stoneking, Jane Voelker, Edna Weygandt, Wilma Beaks, Margaret Hadde. As a freshman scholastic honorary, Phi Eta Sigma has as its purpose the stimulation of scholarship among men on the campus, and especially to offer an incentive for freshman men. To become a mem- ber of this organization a freshman must achieve a scholarship quotient of 3.5 for his first semester at Wittenberg, or an average of 3.5 for the year. Phi Eta Sigma is a national organization. Only fresh- man men are initiated into the group. One of the functions of the group is an annual re- ception for freshman men who show superior abil- ity. This reception which is usually held in the late fall, is to encourage these men to attain the neces- sary scholarship quotient required for membership. John Martin is president of the organization; Grover Swoyer, secretary-treasurer. Members are: Raymond Nickel, Milton Lauver, William Klapproth, Ivan Schreiber, Allan Kuusisto, Archie Albright, Matthew Wiencke, Paul Wolff. Dean Pershing is faculty advisor to the group.

Shifters, the most talked-about and least known- about club on the campus, was organized in honor of the answer to the above baffling question. In order to become a “Shifter” one must possess this mysterious “right attitude” which is a deep dark secret and known only to the members. Not the least shadow' of a hint is given outside meetings as to what transpires there. Yet the purpose of Shifters is not so mysterious. It is a national society of good fellows, organized purely for the benefit of its members. In his college days, Dr. Barker was a Shifter and upon his arrival at Wittenberg he organized the local chapter. There are no officers, anyone can call a meeting which is usually held “same time, same place.” Pledge pin is a huge safety pin which is replaced at initiation by an active pin—a paper clip. During the course of the year Shifters have sev- eral parties and novel functions. In the late fall the group holds a steak fry, followed by a dinner dur- ing the winter and a breakfast in the spring.

The governing body is the Executive Board, con- sisting of the officers of the association, representa- tives of the social groups, and a chairman for each sport on the calendar for the year. An outstanding event was the freshman party held on October 30. A varied program was planned by the committee consisting of Janice Fry, chairman, Audrey Ball, Glenna Brush, Dorothy Snyder, and Dorothea Stewart. The highlight of the party was a scavenger hunt which led the new girls to various parts of the field house, in order to acquaint them with the facilities of the building. Awards made by the association are sweaters to girls who earn 1300 points, letters for 800 points, ana numerals for 450 points. W.A.A. points may be earned in any of the extra-curricular activities sponsored by the association, which includes intra- murals. Sweaters were awarded to six girls this year— Carolyn Anspach, Glenna Brush, Helene Hoover, Janice Jones ,Marie Liba, and Elaine Mc- Hugh. Fifteen girls earned their letters, and twenty earned numerals. On March 14, twenty-five girls went to the Uni- versity of Cincinnati Play Day and participated in volleyball, basketball, badminton, table tennis, swim- ming, and fencing. The trip was a jolly one and the competition keen. Chairmen for the various sports under W. A. A. include: Carolyn Anspach, basketball; Marie Hunt, volleyball; Geraldine Samson, table tennis; Mar- garet Oehmler, badminton; Janice Fry, archery; Mir- iam Beery, rifle; Audrey Ball, fencing; Betty Netts, swimming; Glenna Brush, softball; Dorothy Snyder, hiking; Odetta Feikert, tennis; Norveil Newell, bowling. Intramural manager for the year was Jan- ice Jones. Officers of WAA are: Marie Liba, president; Wylda Cory, vice-president; Helene Hoover, social secretary; Janice Jones, recording secretary; Elaine McHugh, treasurer.

Only a few letters are given out in each sport every year, and to earn one means hard and persistent effort. On the gridiron, hardwood, track, diamond, court, and in the pool, Wittenberg men strive to win their “W.” After being inactive for nearly a year, the W Club came to life and held a meeting in March. This or- ganization is to give recognition to those men who have done so much to keep the spirit of athletics and keen competition alive at Wittenberg. Although most lettermen are members of this group it is not inclusive. Officers elected in March are: Owen Shirk, president; Hal Simpson, vice-president; Ken Snyder, secretary-treasurer; Mark Neuman, sar- geant-at-arms.

The requirement for membership is a B average in two years of college German. During the past year, Nu chapter has endeavored to learn more about German music. A party opened the year’s program at which German folk songs and games added to the occasion. At the Christmas meeting, Ruth Steinfurth, program chairman, led the group in singing German Christmas songs. With each song she gave a short explanation. Plans for the remainder of the year include speakers and movies. Due to the unfailing efforts of Miss Alice M. Mower, faculty advisor, Nu chapter has been active since its organization in 1933. Before that time the club functioned as Das Deutsche Verein. Officers for the past year were: Margaret Fleisch- er president; William Brown, vice-president; Ken- neth Snyder, secretary-treasurer.

FRATERNITIES Kofifia Phi Kcup ia Beta Beta Beta Kappa Phi Kappa is the national education fra- ternity. Membership in this organization, which is elective, is confined to those students who are spec- ializing in educational work in preparation for teach- ing. The purpose of the organization is to promote in- terest in education and provide a source of recogni- tion for those students who have excelled in this field. Twice a year the local chapter holds open meetings so that the students interested in educa- tion may hear outside speakers talk concerning edu- cation as a profession. Also included in the year’s program, besides the regular meetings, were open sessions with other professional fraternities. Early in the year, delegates were sent to the national con- vention in Philadelphia. The national fraternity was established in 1922 and the local Eta chapter was established at Witten- berg the following year. The scholarship quotient which is a prerequisite to initiation is 2.50 in all courses. Allen Lehmkuhl is president of the group while Don Marousek is vice-president. Secretary-treasurer is Robert Lewis and Henry Gulmi is historian. Dr. Wilbur D. West is faculty advisor. Tri Beta is an exclusive fraternity for students excelling in the field of biology. This group elects to membership those students who have a high general scholarship, and an exceptionally high scholarship in the biological sciences. They must have completed at last 12 hours in biology, and show a particular aptitude for work in this scientific field. This year the big project of Beta Beta Beta was the Open House in Carnegie Hall in February. At this exposition the inner workings of flora and fauna were revealed. During the course of the year, the group also held joint meetings, one with Theta Chi Delta, national chemistry fraternity. As a national organization, Beta Beta Beta boasts thirty-five chapters in colleges and universities throughout the country. The group at Wittenberg is the Xi chapter. Officers are: Paul Guerin, president; Tom Crites, vice-president; Henry Cook, secretary; Walton Prue- ter, historian; Dr. W. C. Beaver, treasurer. Other members of the organizaton are Edna Weygandt, Anthony Anton, and Herbert Forsberg. Page Eighty-One FRONT ROW: Austin Shell. Pauline Gott. Jane McCrobn. Matthew Wlcncke. BACK ROW: Herman Andres.

Each year Lambda Mu has as one of its activities sponsoring an essay contest, papers to be written on some classical theme. The group also publishes a magazine, Praeconium, to stimulate thought along cultural lines. Monthly meetings are held, usually at the home of a faculty member, at which time programs of cultural interest are presented. Each spring, the group holds a banquet for its members. During the past year, Pauline Gott was president, and Kenneth Snyder, secretary-treasurer. Faculty members include Dr. Suhr, Dr. Remsberg, Dr. Bloomhardt, Dr. Hiller, Miss MacPherson and Mrs. Martin. At a time when the world is mad for “the latest thing,” Lambda Mu strives to keep alive things of lasting value in our cultural heritage. “Moral—nationally and on the campus,” was the main interest and concern of Psi Chi, national psy- chology honorary. This problem, studied by the group during the past year was provoked by the national situation and its effect upon college stu- dents and the general public. Students whose general scholarship is 2.40 or higher and whose scholarship in psychology is ex- ceptionally high are eligible for membership in this society as an associate member. To become an ac- tive member, the student must have conducted an experimental research in addition to achieving the qualifications for associate membership. The annual project of Psi Chi is its Open House held in the spring. The purpose of this occasion is to acquaint students with the activities of a psycho- logical nature carried on at Wittenberg and stimu- late an interest in the field. Psi Chi has been active at Wittenberg since 1927. Charles Platt is president of the group; Don End- ter, vice-president; Kathryn Wickcy, secretary; Jeannette Plessinger, treasurer. Faculty advisors are Dr. William Schwarzbek, Dr. Maurice Neuberg, and Dr. Wilbur West. Page Eighty-Two FRONT ROW: Dr. Barker. Robert Bauman. Louis Pavlato . Edna Wcygnndt. FIRST ROW: DeVorc. Portz.

FRATERIMITIES Theta GUi 5belta CccuuMfUci GUtL Theta Chi Delta, national honorary chemical fra- ternity, elects to membership men and women of high scholarship who have completed a minimum of eleven hours work in chemistry, and who are following chemistry as a major field of study. To become a member the student must have a B aver- age in 12 hours of chemistry and be elected by the group. During the past year meetings were held twice a month. The first meeting each month, which was usually open to all students, featured a guest speaker on subject pretaining to chemistry or related fields. The second meeting each month was devoted to a discussion of papers presented by the members. Among the interesting subjects investigated by the group were plastics and explosives. Like other science honoraries, Theta Chi Delta annually sponsors an Open House featuring educa- tional chemical exhibits, lecture demonstrations, and amusement with chemicals. Officers are: William Klapproth, president; Louis Pavlatos, vice-president; Edna Weygandt, secretary; Robert Bauman, treasurer; Milton Lauver, historian. Dr. Barker, Dr. Weiland, and Dr. Morgan are fac- ulty advisors. The Wittenberg Home Economics Club is organ- ized to present to its members an opportunity for broadening their interest in all aspects of the field of home economics. The governing body of the club consists of the officers and the following chairmen: Program, Molly Fleischer and Lois Ann Portz; Scrapbook, Phyllis Norveil; Publicity, Doralice Palmer; Senior Councelor, Lois Bell. The theme of the monthly meetings this year has been “Towards Better Living.” Interesting speakers were presented to discuss this question in regard to economics, religion, aesthitics, appreciation, child welfare, fashion, and the art of cookery. The local group is affiliated with the Students Clubs of the Ohio Home Economics Association and sent delegates to the national convention in Chicago last summer and to the state meeting at Bowling Green this year. The club also cooperated with other college clubs in Ohio by carrying on a pro- ject in grade labeling of canned goods. Mildred Osborne is president; Helene Hoover, vice-president and treasurer; Minerva Heimel, sec- retary. The new advisor of the club this year is Miss M. Ella Siddall.

'Iheta Alpita Phi Wilie+thesuj, Plcafe iA Sponsored by the Department of Speech and di- rected by Miss June Musgrave, the Wittenberg Players staged a successful season in the Little The- ater in Blair Hall. The first play was a streamlined version of Wil- liam Shakespeare’s “Taming of the Shrew.” Pre- serving the 16th century flavor, in the midst of a 20th century setting, the Players froliced through the scenes with a gusto that was spontaneous. As Petruchio, literature’s loudest, most caveman-ish lover, Edward Valbracht used all his well known vaudevillian tricks, even pie-throwing. Margaret Pabst, proved a most fetching and fiery Shrew in her role of Katherine. Bianca (Bobby Sands) deli- cately and deftly kept three suitors on the string at once. George Trent played Lucentio, Bianca’s fa- vored suitor. Hortensio (Jack Boyer) and Gremio (Fred Gosewich) were the boys she left behind. Theta Alpha Phi is a national honorary for Thes- pians, having many active chapters in the United States. Required for membership are two major roles in college productions, thx ee minor roles, or mem- bership on three production crews. The scholarship quotient which is a prerequisite to initiation is 2.25. Officei s are Margaret Pabst, president, and Pauline Gott, secretary. The Widow, (Marjorie Jones) beautiful and danger- ous, consoled Hortensio. Edwin Rodeheffer was the to-be-pitied father of Katherine and Bianca. Shake- speare in blackface seems incongruous, but Wick June as Grumio and Dorothy Bloomhardt as Curtis, servants of Petruchio, proved it could be done. Shakespeare’s original plot was not altered. Kath- erine intrigued Petruchio, so he decided to make her livable and loveable. He did, but he had to make her walk home from her own wedding, miss supper, and use other Pithecanthropoid tactics to accomplish his purpose. In the end, Katherine sur- prises and delights her friends by turning into a loving, devoted, but still innately mischievous wife. Sideline to the romance of Kate and Petruchio was that of Bianca and Lucentio. As background, each scene had its own music. The songs ranged from Artie Shaw’s “Temptation” to the eternal “Stardust.” The production staff included: Ward Carhart, stage manager, and June Singleton, Veva Cobley, Marie Hunt, Betty Printz, Gordon Thor. Make-up was in charge of Barbara Edwards, Marilyn Kinley, and Patricia Owen. Patti Barker designed Kate’s two wedding gowns, with the latest in veils. In “Double Door,” by Elizabeth McFadden, Paul- ine Gott turned from comedy to present a preform- ance a la Bette Davis as Victoria. Jean Pitcher was properly cringing and timid as Carolyn, sister of Victoria. Dave Woellner played the part of Rip, younger brother of Viccy and Carolyn. Miriam Jen- kins was Ann, Rip’s wife. John Sommer was prop- erly kind and sympathetic as Dr. Sully, Anne’s “other man.” Myron Wirick helped untie the final knot as Neff, the family lawyer. Robert Petri lent comedy touch as Lambert, a detective. The plot had all the essentials and most of the trimmings of an old-fashioned “meller.” Victoria was against the marriage of Rip and Anne; Anne, to her, was not “socially acceptable.” So she did her nasty best to make Ann as unhappy as possible; kept from her the pearls Rip wanted her to have, refused her admission into certain parts of the house, even denied her music at her own wedding. Victoria scared Carolyn into being an unwilling partner in this crime. Even Rip was a little under the influence of his indomitable sister. Dr. Sully, good friend of both Anne and Rip, told Ann to try and make Rip totally independent. Eventually, Rip came to see Viccy without the halo and with the horns. After dinner, one night, Viccy lured Anne into a secret vault and locked her in. Anne had disappeared, she said, had eloped with John Sully. But during the investigation, Carolyn broke down and told them what her sister had done. Anne was found; she and Rip and Carolyn went away with John Sully. Neff forced Victoria to sign all her property to Rip. Victoria kept the precious jewels for which she had tried to kill Anne, but she lost her mind. The cast was as unusual as the plot; with the ex- ception of Pauline Gott and Miriam Jenkins, none of the actore had any previous stage experience at Witterberg. Jean Pitcher, Ruth Tecihman, and James Wells were freshmen. Others in the cast were Pa- tricia Owen and John Bisch. Dale Seiders and Robert Petri are business man- agers for the Players and handled the sale of tickets. Assistant director for the production was Marion Taft. The mechanical work of the production was in charge of student crew heads; makeup, Mary Lou Snyder; costumes, Patti Barker and Alice Colglaiz- ier; properties, Marie Hunt. Acting as stage manager was Fred Gosewich. It EUII IIHIS Wittenberg College, as a church-controlled school, an institution of the United Lutheran Church in JH. S. A. America, places special emphasis upon religious de- velopment. Wittenberg endeavors to develop in each of its students a Christian philosophy of life, which will manifest itself in his conduct in all human re- lationships; and, in accord with provisions of its charter and constitution, is seeks to provide for the Church an adequate leadership, both clerical and lay. The oversight and direction of all campus religious organizations and activities at Wittenberg is in charge of Dr. Robert Remsberg, student pastor and Director of Religious Activities, and Dr. B. H. Per- shing, Dean of Students. They supervise and co- ordinate religious functions and activities on the campus and act as advisors to religious organiza- tions. As part of the religious program of the college, daily services are held in the college chapel for those students who wish to attend. Except once a week for freshmen, chapel services are not compulsory. Faculty members, students, and Springfield pastors are usually speakers, while the School of Music often provides a program of religious numbers. De- votional periods at weekly convocations, special services during Lent, and support of campus relig- ious organizations is also a part of the religious program of the college. A “W” is awarded annually to each of a few students by the Faculty Committee on Religious Interests in recognition of superior service of a religious character rendered on the campus. Founded in 1927, the Wittenberg chapter of the Lutheran Student Association is a part of a national organization embodying student groups of all branches of the Lutheran Church on all campuses. Although the LSA is primarily for Lutheran stu- dents on the campus, all others are welcomed. “Christian Liberty,” especially in relation to stu- dent problems, has been the theme of the LSA during the past year. At each meeting, on alternate Sunday nights, some phase of this problem has been expounded and discussed. Springfield pastors, fac- ulty members, and students have taken part in this series which was arranged and outlined by Dr. Remsberg, student pastor and adviser. Sam Diehl is president; Carolyn Anspach, vice- president; David Bremer, secretary; Kenneth Sny- der, treasurer. Matthew Wiencke, of the Wittenberg LSA, was made regional president last spring. Chairmen of the various committees were: pro- gram, Edna Weygandt; membership, Dick Hoefler, Flora Miller; music, Martha Miley; social, Lois Bell; tract, LaFontaine; editor, Larry Rugh; devotional, William Cox; publicity, Elinore Wackernagel. This year the group inaugurated supper meetings in the Lounge of the Health and Physical Education Building. A light meal is served at 5:30 on Sunday evenings, followed by the regular meeting. Some outdoor meetings are held. During the year the LSA held a Lenten retreat, Sunday vespers during Lent, and a picnic. All-college functions sponsored by the group in- cluded chapel services and a convocation. LSA CABINET FRONT ROW: Edna Weygandt. Matthew Wiencke. Sam Diehl. Martha Ellen Miley. Carolyn Ans- pach.

Beginning its 1941-42 season auspiciously by add- ing something new, the college YWCA inaugurated the commission plan of study. Five commissions were formed; YW members had their choice of the topic they wished to investigate. These commissions, with their leaders, were as follows: Campus Affairs, Flora Miller; Creative Use of Leisure, Carroll Chopp; Art of Being a Woman, Jayne Hires; Fam- ily Relations, Edna Weygandt; Community Rela- tions, Margaret Fleischer. Each general monthly meeting was supervised by one commission. Elected as officers at the end of the previous year were Kathryn Wickey, president; Carolyn Anspach, vice president; Ann Case, secretary; Flora Miller, treasurer. In addition to student members, YW has several faculty advisers. They are Dean Ruth Immell, Mrs. W. C. Nystrom, Mrs. R. H. Hiller, Miss Doro- thy Blotner, Mrs. J. P. Schneider, Mrs. G. P. Voigt, Mrs. E. A. Jensen. To welcome freshman women at the beginning of the year, and to help them know Wittenberg, the YW (1) publishes a handbook in conjunction with YM; (2) holds a get-acquainted party for all women at the beginning of the school year; (3) escorts freshmen to churches of the city on their first Sun- day here; (4) presents a rose bud to each new girl upon arrival. In cooperation with the City of Springfield, the Wittenberg YWCA worked with the City Settle- ment house and the local branch of Girl Reserves. y. M. C. A. “The Young Men’s Christian Association, the old- est religious organization on the Wittenberg campus, stands for the development of the spiritual life of its members and of the college as a whole.” So be- gins an article in the Y’s Owl, publication of the col- lege YMCA. It was written by the faculty sponsor, Dean B. H. Pershing. Meetings are usually held in the lounge of the Health and Physical Education Building on alternate Thursday nights. Several joint meetings are held with the YWCA for the purpose of discussing mu- tual problems and hearing special speakers. The YM this year used the commission plan of study. Commission heads were: student religion, Sam Diehl; handbook, Earl Fisher; vocational guid- ance, Stan Schmucker; student relations, Chester Quick; devotional, Dick Hoefler; program, Paul Keck; Hi-Y, Don George. Serving as officers for the past year were: pres- ident, William Miller; vice-president, William Brown; secretary, Robert Roger; treasurer, Stan Malcuit; program chairman, William Snyder; membership chairman, Don Nouse; publicity chairman, Eugene Bradley; publications chairman, John Martin. At the February elections William Snyder suc- ceeded William Miller as president. “That we may maintain the honor of our school and acquit ourselves like men in doing our duty to God and to our Country.” So ends the YM prayer. Such is its ideal. HAMM A DIVINITY SCHOOL Established in 1845 along with Wittenberg as the theological department of the college, what is now known as Hamma Divinity School held classes in Keller Hall until 1915, when the present building, Hamma Hall, (pictured below) was erected. Named as a tribute in honor of the Reverend M. W. Hamma, D.D., whose generous benefaction has made possible the larger work of the school in recent years, Ham- ma Hall houses the classrooms, dean’s office, art gal- lery, and the beautiful chapel, which is equipped with a pipe organ, a recently added art glass window in the chancel, and other church furnishings. The faculty consists of eight men, four full-time and four part-time instructors, offering courses com- mitted to the faith and thought of the Lutheran Church, and who have had large experience in the work of the ministry. The course covers a period of three years, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Divinity. The present student body numbers forty- seven men: eleven seniors, nine middlers, thirteen juniors, and fourteen graduates—pastors enrolled in i esident seminar courses, leading to the degree of Master of Sacred Theology. Accredited by the American Association of The- ology Schools, Hamma Divinity School is one of the strong seminaries of the United Lutheran Church in America. In the ninety-six years of its history Ham- ma has sent forth more than seven hundred gradu- ates. Because of the elevated location of the seminary buildings on the north side of the beautiful Witten- berg campus, the divinity school is often referred to as being “up on the hill,” and its proximity to the college is in keeping with the modern movement to locate a school of theology near a college or uni- versity. Hamma Divinity students have the advan- tages of Wittenberg College—its intellectual and social life. Since the erection of Hamma Hall in 1915, Keller Hall has become the dormitory for seminary stu- dents. Named in honor of Wittenberg’s first presi- dent, Ezra Keller, D.D., the building not only was previously used for classes but also was, in part, the dormitory, and included the only chapel on the campus until the construction of Recitation Hall in 1883. Now, as a dormitory only, it is equipped with parlors and a library reading room. Meals are served under student management in the Refectory which stands between Keller Hall and Hamma Hall. A vacation of three months affords the students an opportunity to do supply work in vacant pas- torates, or to serve as assistants to pastors in some of the larger churches. During the school year some of the students serve as supply pastors, or assist in catechetical instruction, while others serve as Sun- day School teachers, or sing in choirs of the local churches. There are always a few from the seminary that become members or retain membership in the Wittenberg A Capella Choir. Dr. E. E. Flack, associated with Wittenbei-g and Hamma Divinity School as student and professor since 1912, is Dean of Hamma. His work and instruc- tion in religious education have been invaluable to Hamma students during his long and inspiring ca- reer. Page Eighty-Eight TOP ROW: Paul Buchholtz. Carl Coad. Jr..

Well represented in almost every field of endeavor, Wittenberg College has a sports program of which students can well be proud. This year in football, the Fighting Lutherans ran a winning streak to fifteen consecutive games before losing to a strong opponent. In basketball Coach Stobbs put together a combination capable of keeping Wittenberg well over the 500 percentage figure. Swimming was probably the outstanding sport of the year as the tankmen experienced the best season in the history of the sport. While varsity athletics require only the best available material, the average student can find enjoyment and de- velopment through the intramural program. Wittenberg’s Depart- ment of Physical Education has won the respect and admiration of schools and colleges throughout Ohio and other parts of the country. Page Ninety-Three FOOTBALL Heading the Department of Health and Physical Education is John B. Van Why, Director of Athletics, whose duty it is to coordinate the athletic program of the college. Before com- ing to Wittenberg, he studied at the University of Michigan from which he received his A.M. degree and served as assist- ant coach. He was also professor of physical education at the University of Alabama. At Wittenberg since 1936, he is now assistant director of physical fitness for the State of Ohio T. W. Stobbs, head coach, has been at Wittenberg since 1929. Last year he coached Wittenberg’s Ohio Conference Championship football team to eight consecutive victories. Also outstanding in the physical education pro- gram is Willis J. Baughman, director of intra- murals. His program has been built up and ex- panded. Paul Norman, former Wittenberg grid star, has returned this year as freshman coach. JOHN B. VAN WHY Director of Athletics T. W. STOBBS Head Coach FIRST ROW—left to right: Blstay. Prescott. Caton.

This call was answered by six lettermen, nine experi- enced men and ten sophomores, a week before the beginning of classes. With only three weeks to go before the opening encounter against the Muskie’s of Muskingum Col- lege, Coach Stobbs drilled his boys hard to put to- gether a well conditioned, well coordinated ball club. Their efforts were rewarded as on Friday, October 3 Wittenberg’s team traveled to New Concord, Ohio to come out victorious in a tight ball game. WIN NUMBER 12. Continuing where they left off last year, the Fighting Lutherans drove through a bigger Muskingum team on a muddy field to gain their first victory of the current season. When the final gun sounded the score was 13-0. The first half of the game was fairly evenly fought with neither team being able to penetrate deep into their oppon- ents territory. Early in the third quarter a Lutheran lineman recovered a Muskingum fumble on the Wittenberg 38 yard strip which started an eight play march which ended in the first score of the game. On the eighth play, Art Prescott threw a pass to his favorite receiver Bob Caton who went over to score. In the final stanza, Mark Neuman, guard, blocked a Muskie punt which was recovered by Owen Shirk on the Muskie’s ten yard marker. Four plays later Art Px-escott again found Bob Caton in the end zone to add another Lutheran score. Ac- cording to statistics Wittenbci'g dominated the game gaining 11 first downs to 1 for Muskingum, and 190 yards to 80 for their opponents. WIN NUMBER 13. Playing under perfect weather conditions the Cardinal and Ci-eam of Wittenbex-g won an impressive 14-0 victox-y over the Blue Devils of Lawrence Tech College in a hard fought battle under the arc lights at Zimmex man stadium. WHITACRE SHIRK BISTAY PRESCOTT Page Ninety-Five SIMPSON PARSONS About 4000 fans saw the Stobbsmen win their first home game scoring twice in the second period. Again the combination of Prescott and Caton clicked after a 40 yard drive to give the Lutherans their first score. (See top of page 95.) Lymangrover kicked the point after the touchdown. Latter in the same period the Lutherans again added a six pointer when on four crushing tries from the Blue Devil’s 28 yard strip, Dave Woellner plunged over. Mike Moffo kicked the extra point. Again in the statistic column, Wittenberg was far superior making 11 first downs to 3 for the Michigan rival. One dark spot in the victory was that Norm Lymangrover’s back was injured after a hard-fall and for the remainder of the season he was playing at half speed. WIN NUMBER 14. Goal line still uncrossed. Play- ing under adverse weather conditions the Fighting Lutherans humbled a weak Marietta team on the latter’s home ground by a score of 27-0. In this ball game the Lutherans displayed more scoring punch than they had previously shown. They struck hard, sure and fast. Only three plays were required in the game to give the visitors their first score after Roger Rossi blocked a Pioneer kick and two plays later Woellner plunged over. The second score came early in the second quarter after a 52 yard march when Woellner again plunged over for the score. Later in the same period a nine yard pass from Prescott to Woellner added another 6 points. Again in the second quarter, a quarterback sneak by Bistay netted 40 yards and then a beautiful off tackle smash by Ryman added another score. After each touch- down Lymangrover was inserted into the ball game and he successfully kicked 3 out of 4 attempts. WIN NUMBER 14. By this time the Lutherans maintained the only uncrossed goal line in the State of Ohio. With the stands crowded with former Wit- tenbergers back for the homecoming festival, the Stobbsmen eked out a 7-0 victory over a stubborn Mt. Union team. Norman Lymangrover furnished Page Ninety-Six the necessary spark, which enabled the Lutherans to win. The brilliant fullback scored the sole touch- down, made the conversion, and gained 133 yards in the 28 times he toted the pigskin. The Witten- berg eleven spent the greater part of the afternoon haunting their rival’s goal line, but stubborn de- fensive work by Mt. Union’s forward line kept them from amassing at least two more touchdowns. At this point the Wittenberg goal line was one of 6 un- crossed goal lines in the country. Then came— LOSS NUMBER 1. The Wittenberg goal line was finally crossed; the great 15 game win streak, begun in November 1939, was broken. On a rain-swept gridiron the Student Princes of Heidelberg College defeated the Wittenberg team to the tune of 14-0. Heidelberg’s first score was the result of a 71 yard march in the third quarter. Albert Mazaferro, sub- stitute fullback, relentlessly pounded the Lutheran line resulting in the first Heidelberg score. The sec- ond score was a result of a pass interceptance by Fred Falino who wallowed 20 yards in the mud before reaching the end zone. Three times the Lutherans threatened, but never enough to shove the ball into pay dirt, and so the mighty Wittenberg had fallen. LOSS NUMBER 2. In this contest the Stobbsmen fought hard to regain the win trail, but the Falcons of Bowling Green came out victorious by the score of 13-0. Twice in the opening ten minutes of the ball game Wittenberg was stopped on the five yard strip. The Falcons however, did not falter when they came near the goal line and shoved the pigskin over for two scores. An end run by Captain Ed Wollner for nine yards early in the second quarter neted the first score. Their second came in the final quarter when Johnson Bee Gee, fullback, ran 35 yards through the center of the Lutheran line to the two yard stripe and seconds later Uzak carried the ball over. Again the Lutherans threatened, but their attack bogged down at the five yard line. So Witten- berg suffered their second straight defeat to a team which was later recognized as the Conference Cham- pion. LOSS NUMBER 3. A combination of injuries plus unexpected Wooster power proved disasterous for the Stobbsmen as they dropped a 39-0 decision to the Scots of Wooster College. The defeat was the worst suffered by a Lutheran eleven since 1934. Bob Caton, Hal Simpson, Norm Lymangrover, Art Prescott, Dave Woellner had to be taken from the game due to injuries leaving the reserves to do the battling. As a result the Scots pounded at the Luth- eran goal line all afternoon. Harry Ditch, Bill Shinn, and Carl Kate were the chief threats for Wooster. LOSS NUMBER 4. The Big Red of Dennison Uni- versity took advantage of Wittenberg’s pass defense to defeat an injured Wittenberg team by the score of 19-6. It was Captain Jack Jones’ beautifully aimed aerials that forced the tired but plucky Lutherans to drop their fourth straight game. Two of the Big Red’s touchdowns came as passes which were thrown to the ends, Trautman and Goodrich. The third was the result of a pass intercepted by Jack Riley, visit- ing halfback. The Lutherans score was also the re- sult of a pass, thrown by Art Prescott to Bob Caton. The result in the statistics was Denison 14 first downs to 12 for the Stobbsmen. At the annual football banquet, Norman Lyman- grover received the award of the year’s most valu- able player. Blankets representing three years ser- vice were given to Lymangrover and Caton. Two year awards went to Neuman, Simpson, Shirk, Rossi, and Glen Beach, manager. Those receiving their first letter award were Bistayi, Parsons, Prescott, Woellner, Petri, Seiders, Dunlap, Erb, Dean, and Bunnelle. Roger Rossi was selected by the Asociated Press writers as All-Ohio Conference center. Norm Ly- mangrover and Bob Caton made second All-Con- ference team while Hal Simpson and Owen Shirk were named on the third team. So Wittenberg closed its season with a record of four straight wins against four straight defeats. To a bystander these results look odd, but to a Witten- berger it was clearly the result of injuries and a small squad. Coach Stobbs and his boys deserve congratula- tions on their hard work and for their “never-say- die” spirit which was truly exemplified in every contest.

Following Thanksgiving vacation familiar sounds could be heard in the Health and Physical Education Building, the clattering of basketball shoes, the shrill of the whistle, the echoes of Coach Stobb’s voice in correction. All this meant one thing—the hardwood season was on. Pessimism reigned as only three lettermen were available to start the season; Fisher at forward; Sheil and Caton at guard position. Stobbs realizing the situation, drilled his boys hard and long in order to put a winning combination on the floor. After dropping the first game of the season to a strong Dayton team, the Fighting Lutherans went on to score victories over Marietta, Ohio Northern, and Dension. These games were hard fought thrill- ers, being won by scores of 49-47, 48-47, and 39-35. In their next encounter, the then Conference- leading Tigers held a 25-18 half-time lead but fell behind in the closing minutes of play and dropped the contest to the Findlay “Oilers” 47-35. The Tigers outclassed their opponents completely until their teamwork seemed to go to pieces in the latter part of the game. Page Ninety-Nine REUSSWIG CATON SHEIL FISHER Tho Fighting Lutherans, overpowered by a superior Mount Union quintet, were trimmed by the Purple Raiders 64-45. Displaying the type of ball-handling and shooting that last year won them the Ohio Conference championship, Mount Union went out in front early in the game and encountered little difficulty in staying there. Hitting the comeback trail, the Tigers polished off Kent State to the tune of 58-44. In this game the boys from Wittenberg returned to their old form and displayed fine teamwork and efficient marksmanship. The victory trail proved to be a short one how- ever, as Wittenberg was forced to bow to a fast, rangy Wooster team 62-40. It was Wooster all the way as they rolled on in quest of an Ohio Conference Championship. The Tigers fought hard all the way but the deadly accuracy of the Wooster five was too much to be matched. The Tigers came roaring back to beat Otterbein 54-40. This victory was the beginning of a four game winning streak—the longest of the season. Witten- berg’s fast break was too much for Otterbein so they had little difficulty in overcoming their rivals. The next game saw Wittenberg avenge the earlier defeat at the hands of Findlay, for the Tigers were the complete masters of the “Oilers” in their second encounter. The Lutheran’s speed and accuracy was never better and they won handily 61-49. Continuing their hot streak, the Tigers triumphed over Bowling Green by the faint margin of one point, 46-45. Fisher was the big gun in the Tiger attack as he chalked up 28 points and by so doing eclipsed the former Wittenberg scoring record of 26 points held by Tom Rankin. Steadily rolling on, the Wittenberg Basketball machine overwhelmed a scrappy Heidelberg five by the score of 71-50. Fisher again proved his worth as he dropped in 33 points for a new Field House record and a new Wittenberg record, breaking his own high of the previous game. After leading most of the way, the Tigers dropped their next game to Denison 53-47 and had their win- ning streak snapped at four straight. Denison gained a well-earned victory but was forced to fight every inch of the way against a scrappy Wittenberg team that refused to submit. Dayton’s return battle with the Tigers was suc- cessful, ending 55-50 for the Flyers. The score was knotted on numerous occasions and each team pos- sessed several times what seemed to be commanding leads. In the last five minutes the Flyers pulled away and at one time led by eight points. The best the Lutherans could do was to pull up to within five points of the victors. Still in quest of a victory, the Fighting Lutherans were again denied as Muskingum triumphed 48-37. The deadlines of the “Muskics” under the basket proved to be the undoing of the Tigers in their at- tempt to shake off the jinx that had been with them for three games. For the second time in the season, the Stobbsmen proved to be masters of Marietta. After an early season scare by the “Pioneers,” the Tigers proved they really were the better team, this time winning by a ten point margin, 63-53. To finish the season, the Lutherans captured their tenth victory as they handed Ohio Wesleyan a 52-46 set back. This was a see-saw affair all the way and was one of the hardest fought games of the year. Page One Hundred WOLTJEN CAIN BALES ZIMMERMAN As the season ended, five seniors played their last basketball for Wittenberg. These seniors are Bob Caton, Jim Reusswig, Bob Zimmerman, Don Marousek, Paul Weaver. These boys carried much of the height of the team as three of them are above the 6’ 3” mark and the other two are 6' 1”. Bob Caton, or Fighting Bob as he is better known, will be remembered for his determination and spirit. When he was in the ball game, the team seemed to take on new life. Jim “Spike Reusswig has been a consistent scorer ever since he broke into the starting line-up his Sophomore year. Paul Weaver, while not a high scorer proved his worth by being able to make baskets when they were needed. Bob Zimmerman, a transfer student from Rochester University last year, had the op- portunity of playing one year. His height and rebounding ability were of definite value. Don Marousek, playing his first year of varsity basket- ball, showed his ability on numerous occasions by dropping in timely baskets. Winning ten games and losing seven, Witten- berg scored 820 points to their opponents 822. In Conference play, Wittenberg won nine and lost five. Lettermen for this year include Caton, Reus- swig, Weaver, Zimmerman, and Marousek, sen- iors; Roy Sheil, Fisher, Woltjen, juniors; Bales, Cain, sophomores. Other players who saw con- siderable action were Distelhorst, and Myers, both sophomores.

Wesleyan 46 THE BASKETBALL YEARLINGS at Wittenberg can boast an undefeated season under the guidance of Paul “Red” Norman, freshman coach. Their sea- son games were played against various independent teams of the city and against the fraternities on the campus. All games were played as preliminaries to the vax-sity game. In practice sessions, Coach Norman stressed all fundamentals such as driving into the basket and various types of passes used most successfully at Wittenberg. Each week the freshmen would use the system of Wittenberg’s next opponent in a game against the varsity in order to make the plays famil- iar to varsity men. The freshmen boast a well-rounded team with every man showing great possibilities of advancing to the varsity line-up next year. FRESHMAN TEAM FRONT ROW: Kale Cantleld. Richard Kuss. James Carvclas.

Although not too successful in ’41, with more experience Wittenberg tracksters look forward to a better season in ’42.

Coached by Robert Gillespie the netters plan to reverse the story of wins and losses this season. Every letterman will be back. Playing twelve games the Stobbsmen were suc- cessful in winning eight and holding the losses down to four. As can be seen from the scores, Wittenberg made up for a rather weak pitching staff by being strong at the plate. Heavy hitters were: Chatlain, Kostyo, Caton, Lizza, and Marousek.

A 55TBL MENS INTRAMUR ALS The 1941 spring season saw the ATO’s undefeated in softball and Phi Psi placing second with only one defeat. The Phi Gams with a record of 23 wins and one loss took the horseshoe championship. The ATO’s were second with 20 wins and 4 losses, being the Phi Gam’s only close competition. After three weeks of gruelling training, the in- tramural boxing tournament was held. The Lambda Chis and Phi Psis tied for the championship with a team score of 22 points each. Over 250 people witnessed these fights that brought thrills to all. Bob Gilfert, Delta Sig, won the 135 lb. class champion- ship from Milton Lauver, Independent. The 145 lb. division was won by Jack Perry, Lambda Chi, who defeated Joe Gray, Phi Psi, for the title. Two Phi Psis, Martin Rini and Art Schroeder, fought it out in the 155 lb. class with Rini the winner. Owen Shirk defeated Bob Daughterty of the Phi Psis in the 165 lb. division. Norman Lymangrover of Lamb- da Chi, earned a well deserved victory over Don Whitacre of the Phi Mus. In the heavy-weights, two Phi Psis again battled for the championship with Henry Sleven the victor over John Parsons. For the fifth consecutive year the Alpha Taus showed their supremacy on the cinder path. The ATO’s won the track crown with 62 points while the Phi Gams with 41 points placed second. The swimming meet again occasioned strong com- petition between Phi Gamma Delta and Alpha Tau Omega, with ATO’s taking the championship and Phi Gams placing second. In a meet that lasted two nights the ATO’s an- nexed the foul shooting championship for the third straight year. Lambda Chis placed second. Bill Douglass won individual championship with 56 bas- kets out of 70 attempts. The 1941-42 intramural season was initiated with a full schedule of touch football, tennis, badminton, and golf to keep campus men active during the fall. In touch football the Phi Gams defeated the Phi Mus, and thus represented League II in the inter- league fracas against the ATO’s, the undisputed champs of League I. In a hardfought three game play off the ATO’s emerged the champions defeating the Fiji boys 6-0 in the first game, while the last two resulted in scoreless ties. On the golf links Phi Kappa Psi gained a tie with ATO after the completion of the regular schedule, and went on to win the trophy in a special playoff match, 2-1. The winning team consisted of Bob and Jack Daugherty and Gene Bradley. Another playoff took place between Phi Gamma Delta and Alpha Tau Omega in order to decide the tennis championship. The Fiji racquet wielders, Gosewich, Martin, Forsberg, and Kaiser, cinched the cup by beating the ATO’s 2-1. Again the ATO’s and Phi Gams fought it out for the badminton championship in a post-schedule playoff. Once again the Phi Gams were victorious with ATO placing second. There were two leagues playing volleyball this year. In League I the Dorm edged the Alpha Taus for the championship. A playoff was necessary to decide the champion of League II with the ATO’s bringing home a victory over the Phi Psis. In table tennis the boys from Hamma were tops with Betas coming in a close second. In handball, the Phi Gams copped the cup with the Lambda Chis and the ATO’s both strongly contest- ing. Downtown at the Acme Bowling Alleys the ATO’s made a run away of things and brought home the championship with Phi Psis placing second. In an- other college tournament sponsored by the Bowl- ing Alleys, ATO’s again showed their supremacy. In “A” League basketball the Dorm come through to take the trophy after beating the Phi Psis who were the nearest rivals. Although losing in “A” League, the Phi Psis managed to carry off the “B” League championship with ATO placing second. Contrary to the beliefs of many, these intramural activities do not tend to create a sphere of group enmity; they never have. Although the spirit of competition is kept at a feverishly keen edge, the athletic program always attends the purpose for which it was intended; to promote a comprehensive line of sports and activity to bring out the athletic prowesses of every type of student and to promote health, physical fitness, recreation, sociability, and sportmanship among individuals and among or- ganizations. The central theme of the intramural sports program is “Some sport for every man and every man for some sport.” Page One Hundred and Sia INTRAMURAL DEPARTMENT MAN- AGERS FRONT ROW: Henry Gulml.

Director of Men’s Intramural Athletics is Willis J. Baughman with Don Nouse acting as Assistant to the Director. Two groups of students work with the director in carrying out the intramural program. The unit managers interpret the departmental rules and schedules for their respective social groups. The departmental managers tend to details of adminis- tration within the department. Their work includes scoring, time-keeping, supplying equipment, check- ing schedules, and routine intramural work. Ray Schueller and Tom Crites are the senior managers; Ray Stocker and Henry Gulmi are the junior man- agers; Art Trout and Bud Trent, sophomore man- agers. Under the supervision of Mr. Baughman and Miss Lougue, the Intramural Department inaugurated the popular afternoon stamp dances. Admission to these dances was by the purchase of a United States Defense Saving Stamp. During Lent, the de- partment sponsored sport nights at the Health and Physical Education Building so that students could participate together in numerous types of games and activity. Admission to these affairs was also by the purchase of a defense stamp. Page One Hundred and Seven Badminton is a popular sport with Wittenberg co-eds . . . fencing develops skill and poise . . . four feminine sharp- shooters take their aim . . . rehearsing for water ballet . . . volleyball demands good teamwork. The Spring of 1941 opened with Basketball taking the limelight in the Women’s Intramural program. In this activity the Alpha Xi Deltas were the victors over the other social groups on the campus, but the tournament was not without excitement and close games. The Alpha Delts, led by Betty French, splashed through to win the swimming trophy for the sec- ond consecutive year. New records were set in the 75 yd. medley by the A. D. Pi team of Audrey Ball, Betty French, and Jane McCroba; and in the Tandem Novelty race which was won by Betty Netts and Mary Chambers of the Alpha Xis. Softball in ’41 saw the Delta Zetas and Alpha Xis battle it out for first place, with the latter group finally emerging victor. More competition was injected by the Chi O nine which followed in a close third place. This gave the Softball Intramural trophy to Alpha Xi Delta sorority. Alice Hepner overcame all opposition for the fourth time in her college career, carrying off the singles crown of the Tennis tournament. However the Alpha Xis went on to victory on the basis of the largest number of participants remaining in the tournament. Their winners were Midge Emery and Betty Ruch in the doubles tournament. Thus the 1940-41 season ended with the Women’s Intramural All Sports Trophy in the permanent pos- session of the Alpha Xi Delta Sorority, the group having won it for three successive years.

Page One Hundred and Ten WOMEN'S SPOUTS Volleyball ushered in the 1941-42 Intramural sea- son the first week in November. The tournament was a tightly contested affair this year, one of the most thrilling games being between the Delta Zetas and Chi O’s. The volleyball trophy ended in the possession of the Delta Z’s who had an undefeated season. For the third consecutive year the Chi Omegas copped the Table Tennis championship. This year a singles contest was added to the tournament to enable a greater participation. It proved most suc- cessful, with Alice Wiegel capturing the singles honors. The winning combination in the doubles competition was Peg Hadde and Molly Fleischer. Records show that Peg Hadde has been a member of the winning Chi Omega doubles team for the past three years. Badminton started 1942 off in a nip and tuck bat- tle between the Gamma Phi Betas, Kappa Deltas, and Chi Omegas. Janice Fry and Carroll Chopp finally gave way to Carol Metting and Dorothy Beneke, K. D.’s, in the doubles matches, and Marty Oehmler fought to victory over Helene Hoover’s smashes in the singles. The Gamma Phis came out on top, winning the 1942 trophy for Badminton. Closing the first semester was the Posture Contest in which Elaine McHugh was chosen winner. A sec- ond place tie was awarded to Carol Lasch and Margit Blochova. The group winner was declared to be Delta Zeta, whose entries accumulated the largest number of points. Runner up was Chi Omega with the Wigs and Alpha Xis tying for third place. And so another year of women’s intramural com- petition comes to an end. Although intramurals is an important part of the Wittenberg Women’s Athletic Association, this or- ganization also incorporates a number of clubs. The participation in these clubs this year has been the largest in many years. Hockey club, under the chairmanship of Gerry Miller, saw one of its biggest seasons, with twenty- one girls earning points for W. A. A. by their en- thusiastic practicing and participation in games. In November the girls traveled to Denison University to take part in a Hockey Play Day with Muskingum and Denison. In the traditional hockey recognition service, thirteen girls received hockey sticks from senior hockey players, ending a successful hockey year. The fall session of Archery Club this year created much interest. Led by Janice Fry, they met each Friday afternoon on the archery range. The girls ended the season by shooting a Columbia Round, the winner of which was Constance Grunewald. Rifle Club profited by an increase in the popular- ity of riflery among the girls this year. Miriam Beery met with the members of this group each Friday afternoon. Constance Grunewald showed the best consistant record, followed closely by Kitty White and Virginia Boyd. Fencing Club claims Audrey Ball as its manager and also met on Friday afternoons for practices. Joyce Proper, Ruth Teichman, June Storbeck, and Virginia Boyd uphold the top honors with the foils. Under Marie Liba’s leadership, the swimmers of W. A. A. worked on synchronized swimming and water ballet. A system of points was used this year, the members working toward a Swan Club award. Activities participated in to gain these points in- cluded marathon swimming, water ballet, life saving, diving and stunts. Maryhelcn Buchman acted as president of the group and Betty Netts, W. A. A. swimming chairman, assisted with the work done by the girls. The Dance Group under the direction of Miss Florence Louge swelled its ranks during the second semester with freshmen who gained eligibility through participation in Freshman Dance Group the first semester. In November the girls gave a short program of the various forms of Dance for the En- vening Fortnightly Musical Club. The annual Spring Recital carries out a patriotic theme, featuring dances typlifying the various allied countries of the world. All of these groups added their bit to make this one of the department’s finest years.

This group, which was organized in 1930, is composed of two representatives from each fraternity, plus one member elected to represent Boost Wittenberg As- sociation. Since its inception on the Wittenberg campus, In- terfraternity Council has sought to bring about a closer cooperation and friendlier relations among fraternities. It has built up an interest in scholastic achievement by presenting a large loving cup each year to the fraternity with the highest scholarship average. The annual Interfraternity dance is one of the outstanding social events of the year. During the spring, the Council conducts a bridge tournament between the fraternities, and in the fall it partici- pates in Varsity Night. Among the problems com- ing before the Council are those pertaining to rush- ing, pledge training, social activities, and fraternity management. In an Interfraternity Council publication Modem Greeks at Wittenberg, President Tulloss made the following statement about fraternities: “The attitude of the administration at Wittenberg College toward our fraternities is easily set forth—we welcome and appreciate the very important contribution these social groups are making to the intellectual, social and moral development of the men at Wittenberg.” President of the Council is Don Nouse of Phi Mu Delta Fraternity. Vice-President is Robert Gilfert; secretary, Henry Gulmi; treasurer, Gordon Ogram. Dean B. H. Pershing and Dr. W. C. Beaver arc faculty advisors.

It consists of twelve members, two representatives from each of the six social sororities. Its purpose is to discuss in open meeting the problems of each group, and to coordinate intersorority activities. Meetings of the group are usually held once a month. During the year Pan-Hellenic Council sponsors an all-sorority winter formal, holds exchange din- ners between the sororities, and an intersorority bridge tournament in the spring. Acting officers for 1941-42 were: Betty McGregor, president; Geraldine Samson, vice-president; Sue Bulkley, secretary; Lois Siegel, treasurer. Pan-Hellenic states its beliefs in the following ex- cerpts from its creed: “We stand for good scholar- ship, guardians of good health, for whole-hearted cooperation with our college ideals for student life, for maintenance of fine social standards and for serving to the best of our ability our own college community.” Representatives of the six sororities are: Alpha Delta Pi, Geraldine Samson and Veva Cobley; Al- pha Xi Delta, Betty McGregor and Mary Bair; Chi Omega, Margaret Hadde and Vivian Buser; Delta Zeta, Jane Ashelman and Marjorie Lutz; Gamma Phi Beta, Sue Bulkley and Marjorie Pabst; Kappa Delta, Lois Seigel and Helene Hoover. During the twenty-one years of its activity, Pan- Hellenic Council has done much towards the pro- motion of friendly relations between the sororities. It has also made valuable contributions to the col- lege and student life through its activities and func- tions. Guiding the policy of the organization is Dean Ruth Immell, faculty advisor. Page One Hundred and Txccnty-One ALPHA TAU Under the direction of Jim Wilkerson, the social season for the ATO’s was inaugurated by a series of “Vic” dances. These were held once a month, some after football games. The annual pledge dance took place in November at which the pledges staged a mock trial, lampooning the active chapter. Alpha Taus of the past and present got together at the Homecoming dance. Songs and general merri- ment characterized this dance at the chapter house. At the Christmas Formal, December 19th, the boys and their guests danced to the music of Eddie Kadel and his Orchestra. At this affair, seniors were pre- sented with the traditional crested keys, by the underclassmen. Other important events of the season were ex- change dinners with the sororities, faculty guests and speakers for dinner during the week. Girls were invited for Sunday dinners during the second se- mester. Spring highlight for the ATO’s is always the an- nual Sweetheart Dinner held each year on Palm Sunday. This year just as exciting as in the past. Cameras clicked, catching scenes to be remembei-ed. The annual meeting of the Chapter House Asso- ciation saw the retux'n of about fifty alumni, who came back to the scene of their fraternal activities while at Wittenberg. Bridge parties were another part of this group’s socialization, having an active Mother’s Club in Springfield. Closing the year was the Spring Fox mal and a picnic for the chapter and their dates. For ATO it was an outstanding school year. OMEGA 7lie GUapteSi Archie Albright Akron, Ohio Frank Bales Middleburg, Ohio Jack Bisch Toledo, Ohio Andrew Bistay Toledo, Ohio David Bremer Wheaton. 111.

Held in September, it was chance for the boys to get together before the real hard work of the year began. Bill Meager was in charge. In October Bob McClaren planned and directed a Hay Ride in which the actives and pledges took part. The McNutt farm was the scene of the merry affair, everyone’s still talking about the good time. The Pledge Dance held at the chapter house was the next on the calendar. Tom Dyke was the chair- man in charge of this informal dance. The Holiday Season was an active one. First there was the party for the active chapter, a yearly affair, anxiously awaited by all the brothers. Then came the Christmas Formal. This was a dinner- dance held at the Shawnee Hotel. Dan Martelli’s Orchestra played. Tom Dyke was again in charge. On January 16th, Alpha Gamma chapter cele- brated the seventy-fifth anniversary of its founding on this campus. An open house was held at which over two hundx-ed guests were entertained. Dick Hauer had charge of arrangements. A banquet was participated in by one hundred actives and alumni who were gathered to celebrate this birthday. The Springfield Country Club was the scene, and the guests of honor was W. W. Dawson, National Presi- dent of Beta Theta Pi. Spring events scheduled included a dance at the chapter house given by the pledges for the active members and dates with Don Stilwell in charge. Reappearance of the traditional Beta Bowery Dance again brought much fun and good times to the members of Beta. Closing the year was the annual Spring Formal.

Decorations and programs carried out a patriotic theme for the dancers. It was held in the Chapter house, with music furnished by a vie. Following this dance was the annual Sailor’s Ball which is now traditional. The theme was a battle- ship with gangplank and all. The Thanksgiving Breakfast for the active mem- bers took place in November. In December, all the Delta Sigma Phi chapters in Ohio joined the Iota Beta chapter in the celebration of its Founders Day. The winter social season reached its height with the Christmas Formal at Neal Temple. All these events were planned by Donald Marousek, social chairman, assisted by Raymond Stocker and Robert Gronau. The more important social events included on the calendar for the Spring season were the Office Force Banquet when all the members of the Wittenberg office force are entertained by the fraternity. The Spring Formal is the biggest dance of the year, bringing alums back for a gala time. This group has been outstanding in scholarship. At present they hold the Interfraternity scholarship cup for 1941. Iota Beta had the highest scholarship quotient of all the chapters of Delta Sigma Phi. The annual Valentine Dance had to be postponed this year until after Lent, but there was a dance; under another name, but just as nice. The Sweet- heart Dinner during Lent has always been a popu- lar event with Delta Sigs, this year being no ex- ception. -Jive Robert Anderson Youngstown, Ohio Edward Bloom Wesleyville, Pa.

There was the Faculty smoker and bridge party combined. Also September brought the Rush Dance, when actives and guests danced in the chapter house. A Pledge Banquet honoring the new boys was an out- standing occasion. Everyone turned out for the Victory Sweater Dance in October, a rollicing good time. Then came Homecoming when alums gathered together for an alumni dinner. Old times were dis- cussed and all the latest bits of news accumulated. December brought a Theater Party for all members and their dates. The Christmas Season was an eventful time for this group. The annual party sent the boys home- ward with the spirit of the Yuletide season. Of course there was the important Christmas Formal enjoyed thoroughly by all that attended. It was a dinner dance with Cedric Adams’ Orchestra. The program was in the form of a crested match book cover. The Ice Skating Party in January was an hil- arious time. The annual “Cupid Stomp” took place in February at the house. This was one of a number of vie dances held during the year. Member’s birth- days were celebrated in February, as was the initia- tion of new members into the group. These boys had an eventful year.

At this time the seniors were presented with the traditional Phi Gam paddles. Freshmen received their swats from the girls, some hard, some soft. Vic dances played an important part in the so- cialization of the Fijis this year. Also faculty mem- bers were invited often to join the boys in Sunday dinners. The Winter Formal was held at the Shaw- nee Hotel. After dinner those present danced to music furnished by Earl Holderman’s orchestra. Art Todd made the arrangements. The Sweetheart Dinner is always a gala affair. “Bill” really cooked up a dinner fit for the “queens” that attended. The buffet supper and theater party proved to be lots of fun too. The annual Pig Dinner is considered the biggest event of the year for all Fijis, past or present. Alums return, and all have a jolly time. This year was no exception. The scholarship and activities cups were presented to outstanding freshmen for 1941-42. Picnics and Phi Gams seem to be almost insepar- able. The big spring picnic showed that they really know how to put one on. The Spring Formal was a must successful event, colsing the year for the Fijis. Not to be forgotten is the fact that these boys won the fraternity Homecoming decorations this year. Their big “Toaster” saw them through to victory. In- tramural debators brought home the cup. Handball, Tennis, and Babminton cups also rest on their shelves. DELTA Ue GltafUesi Glenn Beach Bloomfield, N. J. Robert Beach Bloomfield, N. J. Charles Beck Grosso Pointc, Mich.

Starting out with a sweater dance in September, everybody got to know everyone else through the informality. Freshmen and actives were there with their dates. Then came homecoming week-end and gay times. A dance at the house afforded a chance for the alums and undergraduates to celebrate together. The traditional Phi Psi Bowery Dance was as successful as always. The get-ups were terrific; it was a good time to really relax. Seranades are a part of this group’s yearly activities. This year they serenaded with the Chi O’s during the Holiday Season. They included such places as the Masonic Home, the T. B. Home, and K. of P. Home. At Christmas, the boys gave a party in the house for undeprivileged children. The Winter Formal was also held at the house, under Phi Psi’s colors, red and green. This closed the 1941 part of this year’s activities. Another novelty dance took place in January. This time it was a Pirate Dance. Everyone entered into the spirit, and such concoctions as did appear. The Ohio Wesleyan chapter came to Wittenberg to play their annual basketball game with the Ohio Beta Chapter in February. The Phi Psis have two Sweetheart dinners in the spring. The freshmen and sophomores dine together with their guests, and a week later the upperclass- men have their dinner. These are always looked for- ward to with much pleasure. All the Ohio chapters of Phi Kappa Psi gathered in Springfield for a big banquet in April. This was a great get-to-gether. Climaxing the year for these boys was the Spring Formal, which made the season com- plete. PHI MU IIELTA Members of Phi Mu Delta turned out in full for the first informal dance of the year. It was held at the Chapter house to honor the new pledges of the fraternity. Homecoming was another occasion for a vie dance at the house. This was a gay affair, with returning alums present. A formal Thanksgiving dinner was on the calendar for November. Faculty alumni were guests at this affair. The Christmas Season brought the annual Pig Roast. In connection with this event, there was a chapter party. Starting out the new year, these boys had an in- formal New Year’s Dance, upon returning from the holiday vacation. On March 1st this group cele- brated its twelfth year of existence on this campus. Initiation was held on this day, everything topped off with a banquet. The Formal Sweetheart Dinner was the most im- portant of socializing affairs occuring during Lent. It was an enjoyable time for everyone present in- cluding actives, pledges and guests. An informal sweater dance started off the spring season. This took place at the chapter house. Parent’s Day was observed by the Phi Mus, when in April all parents able to attend were entertained at a banquet. The Ohio chapters of Phi Mu Delta gathered for a banquet at Wittenberg in the spring. The Spring Formal in May, was the most import- ant event of the season. Still no one will forget the picnic which all enjoyed so thoroughly in the same month. It was a big year for the Phi Mus.

Va. The Pledge Dance held at Neal Temple started off the social calendar for the A. D. Pis in ’41. Betty Co-ed and Joe College reigned while the girls and their escorts danced. The new pledges were pre- sented with Alpha Delta Pi inscribed heart brace- lets. The Thanksgiving dinner was the next event of the year. Misses Mary and Ruth Immell are always guests. The annual football party for the members of the varsity football squad was a huge success, according to the boys. Ask about Tid Shafer’s rendition of “I-Yi-Yi—Those Alpha Delts” which originated at that time. At Christmas the pledges gave a Pan-Hellenic Tea for pledges of other sororities. This is a yearly af- fair for Alpha Delts. A Christmas party, which fea- ture the usual prophecy of the seniors written by the sophomores also took place in December. Starting something new on the campus this year, the Alpha Delts serenaded with the Dorm League, representing the two winning groups of the Sings last year. 1942 was not without its exciting events, for Janu- ary was the month for the Sweetheart Formal. This dinner-dance was held at the Springfield Country Club. It is one dance which all A. D.Pis looked for- ward to. The pledges gave the actives a dance in February. Fluttering hearts denoted the Valentine theme of this affair. Spring activities found the Alpha Delts holding their Spring Formal at the Country Club; each sen- ior member invited several guests. Founders’ Day Tea was May 15, celebrating the 91st aniversary of the group. Faculty, alumnae and the mother’s club members filled the house to over- flowing. The annual Senior Dinner always remembered as a highlight in an A. D. Pi’s life, closed the social season.

Those freshmen who became pledges in October were entertained at the annual Pledge Dance held at Neal Temple. At this affair, the pledges received the traditional Alpha Xi Delta inscribed miniature paddles. Betty Pridgeon, social chairman, was in charge. Once a month, all members, pledges and actives, get together for a chapter dinner. Also, each month the pledges who live at Ferncliff spend a night at the house. Alpha Xi Delta was the first social group on the campus to start Pan-Hellenic Open House. This in- formal gathering was to help create a better spirit between the sororities on the campus. Then came the Christmas Formal when the girls and their escorts danced to the music of Cedric Adams, among traditional Christmas decorations. The annual Christmas party for the pledges and ac- tives, also added to this season’s activities. Zeta Chapter was chosen to be the hostess to eight other Alpha Xi chapters for the province convention in the spring. A dinner was held for these girls, with the presidents of the other social groups on the Wittenberg campus as guests. Midst pots and pans the pledges gave a Kitchen Dance for the actives in January. Donna Walther headed this affair, assisted by the other pledges. The Mother’s Day Dinner is always an outstand- ing affair, looked forward to by both the girls and their parents. Mrs. Shilling contributes to the social life at the Xi House by giving several parties dur- ing the year for Alpha Xis and their dates. The outstanding event of the social calendar is the Rose Dance when the Country Club is decorated with trellaces and roses. Thus concludes the social year of this active group. 7lie Gha zteSi Dorothy Ansted Toledo, Ohio Mary Bair Mansfield, Ohio Josephine Beck Warren. Ohio Rooks Bcesley Constantine, Mich.

Winifred Stewart Youngstown, Ohio Liesel Tinglum Springfield, Ohio Marjorie Tuttle Springfield, Ohio Social activities of Chi Omega have been many and varied. The year began with a hayloft party given early in the fall for rushees. After the girls got the hayseeds out of their hair, both actives and pledges danced out at Neal Temple to the music of Eddie Kadel and his orchestra at the annual dance given for new pledges. Then came a steak fry given for the girls by their Springfield alums. One of the gayest events of the year was the Halloween Party held at the chapter house. Everyone turned out in costume and had fun, even to bobbing for apples. The Christmas Formal held at the Country Club was an outstanding social event. Other enjoyable Christmas events were the joint serenade with the Phi Psis, a tea given by the pledges for the active chapter, and the annual Christmas Party. After vacation, the girls started out the year with their “Gingham Formal,” an annual affair given by the pledges for the actives. Joan Golz was chairman of the dance which was held at Neal Temple under the watchful eyes of the Gingham Dog and the Cal- ico Cat. Incidentally, Jody and Sammy made a charming king and queen. On February 15 the girls enjoyed a book review given by Mrs. George Win- wood through the courtesy of Miss Coons. A tea was also given in connection with this event. A Fire- side Sing was held for rushees in February. Dur- ing Lent the girls helped pass the time by holding mixed bridge and ping pong tournaments. The spring calendar consisted of a Defense Dinner held at the chapter house with the alums, the an- nual Eleusinian banquet at the Country Club, and an open house given in honor of the parents of the girls. Like other groups, the most outstanding event of the spring for Chi Omegas is the Spring Formal, held at the Country Club on May 8. Thus the Chi O’s close another eventful year.

Helen Swan had charge of this affair. October started with a picnic with dates. Then came the celebration of Founder’s Day, with a ban- quet for actives, pledges and alumnae. Homecoming seemed a good time to give the new pledges a dance, so the alums and undergraduates danced together at the chapter house. Janet Nichols arranged this “A. B. C. Dance” delighting everyone who attended. The “Gridiron Special” brought another festive time to the Delta Z house in November in the form of a vie dance. Chairman Dorothy Snyder saw that it was a great success. The annual Thanksgiving Din- ner for pledges and actives ended the month of November. December brought forth the annual pledge party for the DZ’s and their dates. The Christmas Formal was in charge of Janet Nichols, who made it a suc- cess. Starting off the new year, the pledges gave a P?n-Hellcnic Tea Dance for all the pledges of the other sororities on the campus. Then they showed the actives some “Cannibal Capers” in the form of a dance at the house in February. Other events of the spring season included a Date Supper, and a vie dance in April. The May Formal, unforgettable for the Delta Zetas, ended the year.

Then came the formal pledge banquet for new girls in early October when pledges, actives, and alumnae celebrated together. To further entertain the new pledges, the actives gave a vie dance at the chapter house. Among dec- orations depicting a music shop, the girls and the escorts had a merry time. As always, the Winter Formal was one of the biggest events of the year. Chapter slumber parties and guest dinners were dotted through the year. This included faculty din- ners as well as exchange dinners with fraternities and sororities. The Gamma Phi pledge class entertained the other sorority pledges at a tea in the second semester. The tea was carried out in a Mexican atmosphere, every- one enjoying themselves immensely. Another affair of importance was the Initiation banquet held in March. The Country Club was the scene of the Spring Formal in May. In the duplicate bridge tournament held in 1941 between teams from each sorority on the campus, Gamma Phi Beta captured the cup. This tournament takes place during Lent, and is sponsored by Pan- Hellenic Council. I President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Colors Flower Publication QjJjic u.

The alumnae of Kappa Delta gave a dessert bridge for the active members and pledges in November, everyone playing bingo and bridge. The Shawnee Hotel was the scene of the Christmas Formal in December. Ernestine Hasskarl served throughout the year as Social Chairman for the KD’s. Kappa Delta sorority supports beds in the Crip- pled Children’s Hospital in Richmond, Virginia, Alpha Nu chapter having one particular child to take care of. Before vacation the girls had a Christ- mas party, each girl bringing a gift for this child. Small gifts were also exchanged among the girls. As a return dance, the pledges arranged a “Wash- ington Waltz” in February for the actives. This was held in the chapter house. Kitty White and Lynette Dopier were in charge of this dance. Also in February the pledges gave a Pan Hellenic party for other pledges at the house. Valentine dec- orations prevailed and Lynette Dopier served as chairman. There was dancing, games, and of course, refreshments. Faculty guests are entertained at dinner each Sun- day. A White Elephant Sale took place at the house in March, sponsored by the pledges. The “white elephants” were gathered and auctioned off to the highest bidders. The Spring Formal, one of the big- gest affairs of the year was held in May. Thus the Kappa Delts socialized. 7he GU pie i Dorothy Lou Beneke Ruth Bender Mary Boehm Ann Case Betty Coad Lynette Dopier Mary Katherine Ehrle Pauline Gott Earnestine Haaskarl Norma Haupt Helene Hoover Flo Jackson Miriam Jenkins Alice Johnson Carol Metting Phyllis Norviel Gertrude Olson Joyce Proper Margaret Robinson Carol Roser Margaret Rowland Helen Scheld Helen Shettel Bette Shoup Lois Siegel Bette Spesshardt Magdalene Thiessen Kitty White Mary Wray Wheeling, W.

Page One Hundred and Fifty PRO PATRIA On Monday, December 15, Wittenberg students and faculty gathered at convocation. It was a mem- orable occasion for on that day, which was also the 150th anniversary of the adoption of the Bill of Rights, Wittenberg pledged whole-hearted support of the nation’s war program and of Springfield’s civilian defense plans. Wittenberg will support our nation in this hour without limitation,” said President Tulloss in his ad- dress, “Whatever can be done by Wittenberg to serve our country will be done. Wittenberg has no place in her faculty or in her student body for any person who is not ready whole-heartedly to support this position.” The student body then presented and passed a resolution stating their willingness to serve. The college Defense Council, which was organized in February of 1941, is headed by Dean B. H. Persh- ing. Since the entrance of this country into the war, the activities and functions of the Council have been greatly increased and new members added. Mrs. Coppess and Dr. Minich began a Home Nursing course under the direction of the Red Cross. A ma- jority of those enrolled are from the student body. Prof. M. Ella Siddell assisted in conducting a Red Cross Canteen Service course in Springfield; Miss Dorothy Blotner engaged in the same work at Fern- cliff. Prof. Thomas is air warden for the college build- ings and campus, Dr. Kelley for the fraternities, and Dean Immell for sororities. Prof. Jensen heads the police end of the Springfield Defense Council. Dr. Barker is chairman of a committee on handling bombs that have fallen. Under the auspices of the men and women’s in- ti amural department, headed by Willis J. Baughman and Miss Logue, a novel idea was started for the sale of defense stamps. An informal dance was held in the gym on Friday afternoon, January 15th with admission only through the purchase of a defense saving stamp. (See picture above). This initial dance proved so successful that others were held through- out the year. Students also cooperated with the Victory Book Drive directed by the American Association of Uni- versity Women. The campaign was conducted for the purpose of collecting gift books for use in forts, camps, ships, and U.S.O. recreation centers. The Springfield quota was 10,000 of which Wittenberg contributed a large portion. To speed up the education process in order that students might complete their college education be- fore entrance into the military forces, Wittenberg made it possible to receive an A.B. degree in three years by continuing study throughout the summer. An editorial in the Torch, December 19th, gave the following advice to students: “In the midst of disorder, we must be calm. There is no need to quit college. Our parents have provided an education. Our nation will need well-trained citizens. In this case our national duty and our filial duty are one. Wittenberg is proud that she has never closed her doors since her founding. Those doors were wide open during the Mexican, Civil, Spanish-American, and first World Wars. Her sons have died here and abroad for America’s defense.—Until we, too, are called to fight, we will go on—here.” Page One Hundred and Fifty-One Wittenlxe uj. Men Boyd Abrams. '38 John Alloway.

The list above is as of March 1, 1942. Since that date there have been many additions to this already lengthy roster. Blue Key is also compiling names of Wittenbergers serving the colors.

No more copy to write, proof to read, pictures to take, or ads to sell. It’s all over now. While the ink is drying and Sammy is balancing the books, suppose we glance over the situation and distribute a few orchids to those who have had a hand in it. On the editorial staff Flora Miller, one of the assistant editors, is deserving of special credit. Her ideas and suggestions plus a generous amount of time and effort have contributed mater- ially to this book. Stan Schmucker, also an assistant editor, acted as sort of a special agent and did a fine job of it. To Elinore Wackernagel, copy editor; Charlie Beck, ace photographer; Roy Sheil, sports editor; Dick Hoefler, activities editor; and Janice Jones, social editor, we are deeply grate- ful for the fine work they have accomplished. To the understaff who aided these special editors we also express our thanks. Assisting in the editorial office at typing and various details were Charles Bushey and Don Nightengale. Business Manager Sam Sachs was also aided by an efficient staff. To Assistant Busi- ness Manager Dale Seiders, and Advertising Manager Dorothy Johnson, and to all those who aided in advertising and circulation goes our appreciation. Repro Engraving Company and Oxford Printing Company repeated last year’s perform- ance of high quality workmanship. To Harold Mann and Carl Shellhouse we are especially grateful for their sincere efforts to make this book successful. Also to Bill Simms who handled the covers; Howard Weber and “Howdy” Littrell of Weber and Harrison, and the girls at Herings who handled the photography—our thanks for the fine, personal service they so cheerfully rendered. The sound advice and consul of Prof. K. G. Lind and ex-editor Don Endter was great- ly appreciated. Now to you, students and faculty, our heartfelt appreciation for the support and co- operation you’ve given without which this publication would not have been possible. It is a book planned solely for your enjoyment—we hope it fills that purpose. May it perpetu- ate for you some of the experiences surrounding college days and be a source of pleasure in years to come.
