Such is the case with our beloved president, Rees Edgar Tulloss. For twenty-eight years now, Dr. Tulloss has guided our Alma Mater through the stormy seas of post-war boom, depression, war and again, post-war emergencies. Has lie been successful? Just look at the record. Today Wittenberg is one of the leading liberal arts colleges in the country. His scope of activity has not stopped with this immediate campus, however. He is one of the leading ministers of the United Lutheran Church, and of Lutheranism in general. In his wide travels he has spread the name of Wittenberg along with him. Wittenberg is thought of highly among the ac- quaintances of this man, our president. Dr. Tulloss is always aware of what is going on, and his kind and personal interest in student affairs has endeared him to every Wittenberger. DEANS DEAN NYSTROM For two years Wendell Nystrom has served as the Dean of Wittenberg College. Previous to his appointment as Dean, Pro- fessor Nystrom had served as Assistant Dean and as head of the Education Department since 1937. He received his A.B. degree from Bethany College, Kansas, and his A.M. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Kansas. A keen and capable leader, Dean Nystrom’s counsel is sought and respected by students as well as faculty His abilities as edu- cator and leader combine to produce an able academic adminis- trator. Though his service as Dean began during a period of difficult post-war change, he has proved himself successful and invaluable. DEAN STAUFFER A new and youthful personality entered the almost hallowed circle of deans last fall when the position of Dean of Students was re-created with John N. Stauffer. Still young enough to be con- sidered handsome by our coeds, Dean Stauffer injected a poised, urbane, socially polished atmosphere into the college offices. Initial apathy, resentment, even antagonism by some groups of students has been gradually dissolved by ingratiating charm and a realistic approach to the students’ problems by the new dean. Dean Stauffer gained his Bachelor of Science degree from Juniata College in Pennsylvania. An active participation in many student activities at Juniata formed a background that has made possible his sympathetic handling of student activities. The Master's degree was received at the University of Pennsylvania. The students of Wittenberg College welcome another new friend. DEAN OF WOMEN Miss Hulda Sallee came to Wittenberg College in the fall of 1947 to serve as Dean of Women. Upon the retirement of Dean Ruth Immcll, Dean of Women since 1924. Miss Sallee accepted this position. Dean Sallee, who also teaches educational psychology, has al- ready established herself as an invaluable and respected advisor to the students. She received a B.S. degree in Education from the University of Cincinnati and is taking special work at the University of Columbia toward her master’s degree. For the past several years, Dean Sallee was engaged in guidance work in the Dayton public schools. She has headed many summer camps for students and has made an excellent record as leader of several counseling programs throughout the country. Dean Sallee advises the. Pan-Hellenic council, Wittenberg Women’s League, and the Young Women’s Christian Association, plus taking an active part in many other student organizations.

Named in honor of the Reverend N. W. Ilamma, a generous donor for the work of the seminary, the building houses classrooms, a recreation room, the dean’s office, and a chapel. Situated on the crest of our rolling campus, Mamma Mall represents the focal point of religion at the college. Companion-piece to Mamma is Keller Mall, named in honor of Ezra Keller, first president of Wittenberg College. Seminary students’ living quarters, a lounge, and a library of religious texts are contained in the three-story structure. Page Seventeen HAMM A MAMMA SENIORS First Row: James Amos, Roy Ballard, William Calvert, John Evans; Second Row: Jacob Kunze, Eugene Lochrkc, Fred Wentz. Six full-time instructors and a teaching-fellow offer courses com- mitted to the faith and thought of the Lutheran Church at Mamma. With an extensive background in the work of the ministry, the faculty directs courses covering a period of three years and leading to the Bachelor of Divinity degree. Dr. Elmer Flack, D.D., has been the Dean of Mamma for many years and associated with the seminary since 1923. Present members of the faculty are Dr. W. D. Allbeck, Dr. T. A. Kan- tonen, Dr. A. J. Traver, Dr. G. E. Mendenhall, Dr. Otto Bostrom. and teaching-fellow, Rev. Gene Lund. Dr. L. M. Larimer is the Dean Emeritus. The student body consists of ten seniors, nine middlcrs, nineteen juniors, and eight unclassified students. In addition there are several graduate-student pastors enrolled in seminar courses leading to the de- gree of Master of Sacred Theology. The Mamma Student Association is the governing body for the men and is directed entirely by the students. It is responsible for directing the schedule of preachers and liturgists for the daily chapel services and for arranging special services and social events throughout the year. Believing in practical training along with classroom study, the students serve as supply pastors in the five-state area, assist local pastors, or work for the local Inner Mission, in the T. B. Sanatorium, nursing homes, or settlement house. In addition, the seminarians take an active part in aiding the student religious groups of the college.

Treasurer........................................ Sergeant-at-Arms James Dunkel Donald Black Janet Johnson Nancy West ...Leo May The class of 1948 has finished its four years of college—four years of college and, in many cases, several years of armed service duty. The largest class ever to graduate at Wittenberg, it contained youth and battle-seasoned age, promise and promises, the usual polish of college and a new comprehension of the world and its troubles. It consisted of young women who enrolled when the American male was just a myth of the battle-front releases, of a new and personalized pin-up girl and honored wearers of the purple heart, of young ladies who knew how to rivet a bomber and young men who knew how to fly them, of a new set of career girls and a new set of fathers. A definite product of the inconsiderations of war, it learned to consider other peoples and other problems. It carried away from the campus an outlook matured far beyond the normal. Yet the class of 1948 lacked not for excitement in student activities nor the sentimental thrill of college romance. Wittenberg College has graduated its biggest—and most promising—class.

Page Thirty JUNIOR OFFICERS Carol Nulscn, Charles Furry, Tom Brennan, Nancy Schmidt JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS President .................... Vice-President ..................... Secretary........ Treasurer............. Sergeant-at-Arms................................. Thomas Brennan Nancy Schmidt Carol Nulsen Charles Furry Walter Kcndig With the third year of college comes a feeling of “ownership of the campus—a dominance in the political structure, in the generalship of student publications and government, and in dat- ing the campus queens. The average junior suddenly realizes that many people know him by his first name, that he can tell you how a certain professor grades and what the hours arc at the student union, that he is an expert at finessing a six-heart bid and a strange phone call. He thinks he now knows everything he didn't know the first two years and has generally for- gotten most of the things lie has entered into bluebooks this year. He has implicit belief in his abilities and is even beginning to believe in Wittenberg College, lie looks back on the things he didn't do and the groups he didn’t join and looks forward to one more year in which to join and do. “That screwy guy” has become “one swell professor”, “the oldman” has become “Dr. Tulloss” and the girlfriend” may have become “the little woman.” Page Thirty-Two JUNIORS First Row: ALVIN A.

Philip Rudolph Sergeant-at-Anns , Charles Bishop The sophomore class has dropped its high school ideas and mannerisms. It no longer chants of “how we used to do it back in P1IS.” The sophomore is now a full-fledged, fancy- winged college student at Wittenberg. Activities have attracted his maturing fancy, majors and minors have been declared, the sorority lounge is becoming more familiar than the steps of Ferncliff. He holds no big office, but he is working his way up the hard way through committee chairmanships, academic honoraries, and numbers in the student directory. Self-confidence has replaced confusion as he admires the campus leaders and the freshman corps of females, as he finds himself with an occasional original thought and a check from home, as he discovers the library is a good place to study and the blind date has developed into a “pinning serenade.” He has changed somewhat from false sophistication to genuine poise. He knows where to go and what to do; he knows where he is going and what he will do after graduation. Page Forty-Pour First Row: NORMAN ADAMS.

Many would have scooted right around and gone home, but they found col- lege life too busy to pack and too many willing backs to help wear their new clothes. With new classes, new faces, and new affiliations, the freshman forgot to be homesick and jumped into the exciting current of the campus. lie was embarrassed as he mumbled through the Alma Mater at football games and was frustrated as he wrestled a cup of coffee through crowds at the student union. lie was rushed with dinner invitations, tea parties, and extra rounds. He was hand-shaken, back-slapped, and over-cajoled. He began to assume an air of exaggerated importance and lost it again under the weight of line-ups, black books, and little red caps. The aura previously surrounding his ideas of college life began to fade when the first exam period hit him amid-ships. Some threw up un-opened books and returned home. Many, many others remained to channel courses, activities, and new “lines.” Page Fifty-Six First Row: PHILLIP ACLES. Springfield, Ohio; PHYLLIS JOAN ADAMS, Chicago, 111.; FREDERICK GENE AESCHBACHKR.

'flge Sixty-Seven COACHES COACHES Blackburn, Maurer, McCullough The men leading the athletics at Wittenberg have been doing a fine, noteworthy job. These men have made the Tigers a team feared by all of their Ohio Conference opponents. Athletic Director John Van Why came to Wittenberg in 1936 from Pontiac, Michigan. In order to take the position at Wittenberg, he declined the head football coaching job at East Stroudsburg State College, his alma mater. The foremost of the coaching jobs that Mr. Van Why has held was probably that of assistant coach at Michigan University. Fielding Yost, athletic di- rector of Michigan said, “Van Why was a very enthusiastic, industrious, efficient, and capable worker. He has a pleasing personality and was entirely satisfactory.” Van Why has served at Wittenberg for the past twelve years, and in that time he has accomplished a great deal toward making Wittenberg the outstanding school that it is. Head football and basketball coach is Howard “Red Maurer who, in his day, was one of Wittenberg’s greatest stars. Coach Maurer came to Wittenberg in 1946 and piloted both the football and basketball squads toward successful seasons. Before coming to Wittenberg, Maurer served as backfield coach of the Barberton Magics. Assistant coach Robert Blackburn came to Wittenberg in 1944. “Blackie” was also a star at Wittenberg during his undergraduate days. He is proving to be a capable assistant to Coach Maurer and is a prime favorite with the boys. Baseball coach Willis Baughman is a local man who came to Wittenberg from Springfield High School in 1932. For three years he starred at the center post in football; he was also out- standing in baseball and won three letters in the sport. Coach Baughman has been here twelve years, during which time he has served as trainer, co-ordinator for the intramural sports, and as coach for the baseball team. Pafifi Seventy FOOTBALL PLAYERS Top. Taylor; Upper Right, Shell; Upper Left, Beymet; Lower Right, Ruffing; Lower Left, King. Beginning his second year as head man in the Wittenberg gridiron picture. Coach Maurer called for a short meeting of all football candidates on September 8. The following day, some sixty hopefuls donned cleated shoes, pads, and headgear for the first official practice. With barely three weeks to prepare for the first game, practices were long and rough. Contact work started the first day. Fifteen returning lettermen gave Coach Maurer the nucleus around which to build a team, in an effort to improve on last year’s football record. 1—At University of Louisville—Against a strong Louisville team, which included five members of last year’s All-Kentucky team, plus a six foot seven inch Little All-American end selection, tin Lutherans dropped their first game 40-3. The Louisville team got off to an early start, scoring a first quarter touchdown on a three yard plunge and making good on the conversion. Witten- berg received the ensuing kickoff and, led by the hard-running Mike Popko, marched to the Cardinal nine yard line. From there, Mike MofTo booted a field goal which gave the Tigers their only score of the game. The Kentuckians’ passing game clicked in the second period as Half- back Trabue began to hit the towering end Coleman with his tosses. One pass hit for twenty- four yards and a score, while minutes later another of Trabue’s accurate pitches carried to the Lutheran four yard line. A line plunge added the third Kentucky touchdown. In the third quarter, the Cardinals tallied another touchdown and conversion. Thirteen more points in the final stanza wound up the big evening for Louisville. Wittenberg played a much better brand of ball than the score indicates, however. Against a heavier, more experienced ball club, the Tigers exhibited fight and determination which had not always been in evidence the preceding year.

R.G. 2— Wilmington College here—In the first home game of the season and the first night game at Wittenberg since 1937, the Fighting Tigers eked out a 7-6 win over Wilmington College. A crowd of 8,000 fans saw Wittenberg place its first Ohio Conference tilt in the win column. Forced to come from behind to win, the Lutherans matched Wilmington's second quarter touchdown with one of their own in the third period. Big George Luther decided the contest with a per- fect conversion. The game was a rough, tough, dog-eat-dog affair all the way. The Quakers, recovering fumbles deep in Tiger territory, missed two early chances to score in the first quarter when the Lutheran line held Wilmington for four downs on the Tiger's own eight yard line. Only thirty seconds of play remained in the second period when Wilmington’s Quarterback Baugh plunged over from one yard out, ending a 62 yard drive. A 30 yard pass, ruled complete because of interference, aided the visitor’s cause. The Tigers struck late in the third quarter when they marched 54 yards to score. The tally came when halfback Johnny Beymer stepped off a net 28 yard jaunt to pay dirt. Luther then added the all-important point. 3— Mount Union College here—A powerful Mount Union team, led by the two-time All-Ohio Halfback Vince Marotta, rolled to an easy 39-6 win over Wittenberg in the Lutheran’s second start at home. Marotta turned in three scoring runs during the course of the evening as he paced the visitor's attack. The Mounts wasted little time, scoring with their first offensive play when Fullback Bell dashed 27 yards following a blocked Wittenberg punt. A few plays later, Marotta intercepted Hannum’s pass and sprinted 65 yards for another score. Before the first quarter Page Seventy-Two FOOTBALI PLAYERS Top, Stasco; Upper Left, Popko; Upper Right, Pearson; Lower Left, Winkhouse; Lower Right, Hannum. ended. Marotta broke loose and scored again with a 37 yard effort. In the second stanza, he gathered in a Lutheran punt on his own 25, twice reversed his field, and outran the entire Tiger team to score standing up. Thus, Mount Union led at the intermission 26-0. A 50-yard pass from Celtz to Lee gave the Purple Raiders a third period score. During the final quarter. Mount Union and Wittenberg exchanged touchdowns. For the Mounts, a 56 yard run culminated when Iiell scored from the three. Lutheran Guard Dale Storch fell on a fumble on the Puiple 31 to give the Tigers a scoring opportunity. Hannum's pass was ruled complete to the 17 yard line because of interference; a clipping penalty moved the ball to the two yard line. Pearson banged over on a quarterback sneak to end the scoring. 4—At Ohio Northern University—The Ohio Northern Polar Bears celebrated their Homecoming by turning in a mud-caked 7-0 win over Wittenberg on a rain swept field. It was the Bear’s first triumph and the Tiger's third loss. Wittenberg threatened in the opening period, staging a 52 yard drive which bogged down on the Northern 18. Both teams then slipped and slid in the rain as they exchanged punts until midway in the final quarter, neither team being able to get an offense underway. Just as it seemed that the contest would end in a scoreless tie, the Bears got their break. A Wittenberg kick on third down was blocked, the Lutherans recovering on their one yard line. A bad punt followed which Northern returned to the Wittenberg 18. A first down placed the ball on the Tiger six yard line. Bear halfback Kistler crashed over with two minutes of play remaining. Brinkmeyer kicked the point. Pcge Seventy-Three FOOTBALI 5— At Heidelberg College—Handicapped by injuries, Wittenberg dropped its fourth game of the season to the Heidelberg “Student Princes’. Although badly outscored 37-13, the Lutherans showed signs of being ready to slip into gear. Evidence to this effect was shown in the final half when Heidelberg, holding a 21-0 halftime lead, outscored the Lutherans by only a 16-13 margin during the rest of the game. Heidelberg scored first in the opening minutes of the game on a 65 yard run by Valentine. Slcmmer made the first of his four consecutive conversions. Later in the first quarter, Devine scored from 12 yards out. The Princes drove 49 yards to score in the second quarter with Baker going over from the four. Baker scored again on a 16 yard run in the third period. The Tigers then caught fire and put together a 65 yard march, which fea- tured a 32 yard ramble by Herbie King. George Winkhouse scored from the one yard line. The final stanza saw Valentine score on an end run and saw Slemmer make good a field goal to end the Heidelberg scoring. Wittenberg scored its second touchdown via the aerial route, a Pear- son to Finical,” moving the ball from the Tiger’s 35 to the Prince’s 40. Another completion by the same pair saw Finical take the toss on the Heidelberg 15 and score standing up. George Lu- ther converted. 6— Marietta Gollege here—The eleventh renewal of a gridiron rivalry started in 1892 saw Witten- berg’s Tigers claw the Pioneers of Marietta 19-6. Marietta dominated the play in the first five minutes to take an early 6-0 lead, this by virtue of a blocked Tiger punt and recovery by Marietta on Wittenberg’s 37. I fere, F ullback Waterman tossed a 19 yard pass to Biddle, who ran the re- maining distance to score. The attempt to convert was blocked. An aroused Wittenberg crew Page Seoenty-b'out FOOTBALL drove 85 yards in the second quarter only to lose the ball on the Marietta three yard line. The Marietta kick out was taken by the Lutherans on the Pioneer 40. Five plays later, a pass from Pearson to Finical was good for 29 yards and Wittenberg’s first score. The try for the extra point was wide. Stasco’s fine punt return and a roughness penalty against Marietta gave Wittenberg the ball on the Marietta seven yard line late in the second period. Two plays later, Christie Car- ter drove over from the three. Again Wittenberg failed to convert. Wittenberg lost a touchdown in the third quarter when a holding penalty nullified Ray Stasco’s 65 yard punt return. The final quarter saw the Tigers move 68 yards in 14 plays to the Marietta three. Ceorge Winkhousc scored on a reverse play. Tackle Ceorge Luther’s conversion was good, and the final count was 19-6. 7—At Ashland College—Neither the rain, nor the mud, nor the Ashland Eagles could stop the Wittenberg Tigers as they chalked up their second straight win. Held scoreless in the first quarter, Wittenberg scored once in the second, once in the third, and twice in the last quarter to bring home a 24-0 victory. The Lutherans counted midway in the second quarter when Johny Beymer took a punt on the Ashland 41 and ran the ball to the one yard line. Fullback Herbie King rammed his way over for the first touchdown. Late in the third quarter, the Tigers dis- played their aerial power as a Pearson to Hiles pass was good for 23 yards, and Miles raced 35 more before being dragged down on the Eagle’s ten yard line. A short pass. King to Beymer, carried the ball to the one. Pearson scored on a sneak play. In the last frame, an Ashland fum- ble was recovered by Wittenberg on the Eagle’s four yard line. Gene Hannum went over from Page Seventy-Five FOOTBAI .1 the one. Paced by Sanzotta’s passes, Ashland then drove to the Wittenberg 30. Sanzotta threw another pass, which bounced from an Ashland end to Tiger back Pete Fanning to Dick Brown, who grabbed the ball and galloped 87 yards, aided by some substantial blocking, to ring up Wit- tenberg’s final counter. 8—Capital University here—A meager homecoming crowd of 3,500 watched a muddy (to say the least) Wittenberg eleven swamp an equally muddy Capital team 20-0. The teams battled in the mire to a scoreless first half, but the final half saw the Tigers score one T.D. in the third quar- ter and two in the final frame to mark up their third successive win. Only once did Capital get within Wittenberg’s 20 yard line, and then only on a blocked kick. On the very next play, Capi- tal fumbled, the Tigers recovered, and Capital's only scoring threat had been overcome. The Columbus eleven halted the Wittenberg scoring threat on their 17 yard line in the second quar- ter, while the timer's gun halted another Tiger drive on the Purple ten. Wittenberg wasted no time in scoring as the second half opened. With Herbie King crashing through the line and Pear- son passing to Hiles and Stasco, Wittenberg marched to the Capital six. A Pearson to Beymer pass was good for the first Tiger touchdown. Luther's placement was good. The closing minutes of the period saw the Tigers on the move again. This time, eight plays carried the ball from the Capital 38 to the two yard line as the period ended. King banged over for the score; Luther’s kick was again good. In the final minutes of play, Capital gave up the ball on downs at midfield. Pearson tossed to Hiles for 43 yards to the Capital six. Pearson gained five yards and then dove over from the one for the last touchdown. The kick was not good. Page Seventy-Six FOOTBALL 9—At Denison University—A fourth quarter pass allowed heavily favored Denison to outscore but not to outfight the Wittenberg Tigers 12-6. By this narrow margin of victory, Denison com- pleted an undefeated, untied season. Expert punting by Wittenberg’s Jim Walsh kept the “Big Red” deep in their own territory most of the first quarter. Late in the first period, however, Deni- son began a 92 yard march, which ended on the second play of the second quarter when Hupp swung around his right end for 34 yards and a score. The attempted conversion failed. The Fighting Lutherans bounced back in the second half to take the kickoff and drive 78 yards to score. Pearson, Winkhousc, and Popko led the attack to Denison's 12. Here, Pearson tossed to Finical in the fiat, who lateraled to Popko, who rambled ten yards to score. Wittenberg’s attempt to con- vert also failed. With the score deadlocked at 6-6 in the final quarter, a pass from Gaynor to Hart clicked for 24 yards and a Denison touchdown. Again the Tigers roared back and in the last fly- ing moments drove to the Denison six yard line. No upset was in the making though, for the Lutherans lost the ball on downs, and Denison stalled the remaining time away. The curtain for the 1947 football season was brought down with a banquet for the grid squad at the Hotel Bancroft. James Taylor, ace guard, was elected as the team’s “most valuable player.” Herb Dunlap, Gene Hannum, Herb King, George Luther, Dick Pearson, Bob Ruffing, and Bill Stewart will depart along with Taylor via the graduation route before next fall. Dunlap, Luther. Huffing, Taylor, and the injured Mike Moffo were awarded Wittenberg blankets in recognition of having received three letters in one sport. Twenty-seven other squad members were awarded the varsity “W”. Pflge Seventy-Seven MOST VALUABLE PLAYERS TAYLOR Jim Taylor, a Newark, Ohio senior, was chosen this year’s most valu- able player by his teammates at the annual banquet. Taylor had won two letters previous to this season and has played a stellar guard position all this year. Taylor was named to both the All-Conference and the All- Ohio elevens by Ohio coaches, which speaks well for his playing ability. Taylor is married and one caption in the Torch says that his wife is his number one fan. Jim's major is Physical Education and he hopes to go into a coaching position when he graduates. Congratulations and good luck, Jim! A FELLMETH For the second time in Wittenberg’s history in basketball a player was named the most valuable man on the team for two years in succes- sion by his teammates. Gene Fellmeth follows in Earl Fisher’s footsteps by being awarded this great honor. Fellmeth leaves Wittenberg holding three scoring records. First, he bettered Cliff Ileskett’s total of 763 points by throwing 783 points through the hoop during his career as a college basketball player at Wittenberg. He broke Earl Fisher’s per-game aver- age of 13.64 points per game by making the high average of 16.9 points per game. Fcllmcth’s third record breaking achievement was setting the grand total of 379 points for the entire season. This was done in the 1946-47 season and again bettered Cliff Ileskett’s previous record. Dur- ing his basketball career at Wittenberg he has been chosen first team All-Ohio and first team All-Conference twice in the last two years. His loss to the team will be hard felt when next year’s basketball season rolls around. Page Seventy-Eight BASKETBALL BASKETBALL Left to Right: Fellmeth, Makowski, Canfield, La Buda, I {annum. Rocth, Lcffcl. The Monday following the close of the football season twenty-five men answered Coach Maurers call for prospective basketball players. They had a lot of work that had to be done in a short time, for their season opened only two wesks away with a Southern trip during which they would meet three teams: Transylvania, Georgetown, and Kentucky Wesleyan. On this Southern trip Wittenberg won their first two games against Transylvania and George- town and lost their third game to a strong Kentucky Wesleyan Five. They beat Georgetown Col- lege by a score of 60 to 55 and Transylvania College by a score of 48 to 30. Kentucky Wesleyan beat Wittenberg 75 to 46. The first game after Christmas vacation was with Slippery Rock Teachers College at home. They dropped the game by a score of 57 to 47 with Fellmeth garnering 18 points. He and .Ma- kowski, with 14 points, led the scoring for the Tigers. Four days later Wittenberg traveled to Ohio Northern where they lost a close one in a game that came as an upset in Ohio Conference play. Wittenberg led in the first quarter by 11 to 8 but Page Seventy-Nine BASKETBALI Fellmeth, Canfield lost the lead at half time being behind 22 to 17. The game ended with Ohio Northern on top with a score of 60 to 58. Fellineth again led scoring honors with 18 points. One of the roughest contests the Tigers played was with John Carroll, here. Thirty-three personal fouls were called in a hot and heavy contest. Wittenberg lost this game to the tune of 65 to 58. Makowski led the scoring for Wittenberg with 15 points. The Tigers outscored Carroll in the second half but didn’t have quite enough to win. Wittenberg defeated Denison on Denison’s small floor by the score of 64 to 56. Mount Union eked out a victory in one of the closest heartbreakers of the year for the Lutherans. They beat Wittenberg by one point after a game try by the Tigers to pull the game out of the fire. Heidelberg gave the Lutherans their worst defeat of the season by whipping them to the tune of 73-30. The next game was played at Ashland where the Tigers regained their winning form. They Page Eighty BASKETBALL Lcffel, La Buda, I {annum. snapped out of a three game losing streak to win 58 to 49. Fellmcth scored 24 points in this game with Makowski second with 10 markers. Seeking revenge, the Tigers took on Ohio Northern at Wittenberg and walked away with an easy 62-39 victory. Fellmeth again led scoring honors with 18 points while La Huda was second with 11. In this game the Tigers seemed to score at will, showing their best form to date. Marietta’s Five took a nip and tuck contest by coming out on the long end of a 62-57 vic- tory. Fellmeth garnered 20 points for the evening. Gene Hannum's stellar playing in keeping Kenyon's high scoring Rixey under control was probably the biggest factor in the Tigers’ 76-44 victory over Kenyon. Fellmeth was high man with 21 markers followed by Mannum with 10 points. Mount Union topped the Tigers in a close contest by the score of 65 to 58. Makowski took the scoring honors for Wittenberg with 19 points to his credit. The second game of this trip, with John Carroll, was an even rougher mixup than the game previously played on Wittenberg's court with this team. Forty-one personal fouls were called. Page Eighty-One BASKETBALL Hardin, Yates, Makowski. 23 against John Carroll and 18 against the Tigers. The Tigers connected on 22 of the 28 attempts at the foul marker but came out on the short end of the score, 62 to 54. Fellmeth threw in 19 points. In a game that may have cracked the Field House record if Denison had not “frozen” the ball in the closing minutes, Wittenberg reached her top form of the year by beating Denison 83 to 35. Fellmeth threw in 29 markers followed by Leffel with 18 points. It seemed that the Tigers had given their all against Denison when they once again took to the road for the final two games of the season, losing to Marietta 79 to 60, Hannum leading the Tigers with 15 points, and to Muskingum 90 to 72. The Muskingum game was another rough and tumble affair with 48 fouls being called against both teams. Four Lutherans were removed on personal fouls in this game. Fellmeth set a new lifetime Wittenberg individual scoring record by throwing 24 markers through the hoop. Page Eighty-Two BASKETBALI Wallace, Roeth, Beckstedt. Wittenberg, winning only 7 of 18 games played, showed one of its poorest seasons in its his- tory but at the same time one must remember that the opposition was anything but easy for any team. Maurer credited the bad season to lack of height, failure to hit from way out, and also to the bad luck the Tigers seemed to have had in meeting teams when they were at the top of their playing form. Coach Maurer states that next year the season will be “wild and wooly”. Four of the starting five members of this year’s basketball team are graduating. The answer to the big question may lie in this year’s Junior Varsity team, coached by Robert Blackburn, which saw considerable action and gained plenty of experience in pre-game tournaments. The close of the season found 7 men receiving letters on this year’s basketball squad. Bill Roeth and Ed Makowski received the first basketball Varsity “W”, while Kale Canfield received a coat sweater for his second year award. Gene Mannum and Dick Leffel received the three-year blanket award, and for the second time in Wittenberg’s history in basketball, a man won his fourth major sports letter. This honor went to Chet La Buda who joins Harry Stetler in this ex- clusive rank. Page Eighty-Three SWIMMING SWIMMING Front How: Lambert, Beach, Dayton. Hundley, Bolin. Second How: Wilhneth, Lent .

Thirty men answered Coach McCullough's call for swimmers in the latter part of October. Of these men fourteen were retained. Five letteimen were back from the preceding season, so the prospects for the season were bright. That a winning team did not materialize was not the fault of the men for they were kept busy throughout the whole time At each of the meets it became apparent that the Tankmen did not have the depth of team necessary to defeat other teams. The principal achievement of the year was placing s xth on the Conference Meet. In this meet they placed above teams which had defeated them during the regular season. McCullough awarded letters to seven of the varsity and numerals to the freshman team. Those receiving letters were: Boyd Gibson, Pete Fowler, Ernest Bolla. Bill Morgan, John Geils. and Bill Heath. Carl Willmeth received a lettei as manager for the second year. Record for the season: Ohio University 58 Wittenberg 17 Ohio Wesleyan 41 Wittenberg 34 Baldwin Wallace 38 Wittenberg 37 Erie Y. M. C.

Second Row: Morgan, Duncan, Beckstedt, Kendig, Coach Baughman, Hiles, Matherly, Fanning, Snndstrom. BASEBALL The initial practice of the 1947 season was called on April 7th. Some 55 players came out for tryouts. From this group, Coach Willis Baughman formulated a steady all-around team. The season record of four wins and five losses hardly indicates the team’s strength, as some of the men were delayed in reporting for practice the early part of the season. The Tigers dropped the season opener to the power- laden University of Wisconsin team which had won the Big Nine title the year before. The second game, played in Municipal Stadium, was lost to Findlay at a score of 4-2. However, after two weeks of continuous bad weather, the team won a tight one from Ohio Northern 3-2, in which Tiger pitcher Hiles exhibited some fine control. The Lutherans followed through with a slugging demonstration at Heidelberg with Leffel and Lizza sparking the eleven run offense while Roeth shut out the Princes. In what proved to be the really outstanding game of the season, the Tigers, after a shaky start, solved Mus- kingum’s offerings and pounded their way to three straight by a 16-4 count. La Buda and Decker found the distance that helped spell defeat. Capital halted the streak by walking off the field with an 8-2 victory. Denison eked out a 5-4 win in late innings by get- ting after the Tiger pitching staff. Marietta's hurling proved to be exceptionally strong, as the Lutherans were shut out with two hits while the opposition gathered four markers. On May 27, Wittenberg closed the season with a 4-1 win over Denison. Roeth had the high sign all the way and gave up but four hits during the whole game. The squad performed well on defense throughout the contest. GOLF Standing: Newcomb, Shay, Larson, Dunkcl, Deibcl. In Front: Csaszar, Traicoff, Fasich.

A seven man squad, under the guidance of Coach Paul Newcomb, finished the season with a record of four wins and three losses. At the end of the season. Coach Newcomb awarded a letter to each member of the squad, which speaks well for their efforts and achievements. In their first match, Wittenberg dropped a close one to Ohio Northern, at Northern, 10 to IVz. The following week they entered the win column with a convincing win over Marietta. This match was played on the home links and was won with a score of 8 to 7. Ohio Northern again proved to be a stumbling block to the Lutheran linksmen by repeating their previous win of 10% to S%. Marietta avenged themselves of their first loss by beating the Lutheran squad in a reverse score of 8 for Marietta and 7 for Wittenberg. Wittenberg then came up with two easy victories over Findlay. The scores were 1 Ha to 3% and 12 to 6. Ending up the season the right way, Wittenberg won from Heidelberg 9-3. In a post season conference meet, Wittenberg placed 9th in a field of 15 of the finest college golf teams in the state. With this record behind them and a season’s record of four wins against three losses, Wittenberg can look forward to an even more successful golf team in 1948.

TRACK After a lapse of five years, track once again returned to the list of extra-curricular activities at Wittenberg. A large turnout for initial practices made hope soar to miraculous heights. The team seemed eager for com- petition as they worked out under the careful tutelage of Coach Robert Blackburn. But inadequate practice facilities, due to lack of a good cinder track, made con- ditioning slow and workouts difficult. Consequently, the squad found it a problem to get into the win column. In the opening meet. Kenyon was the opponent with cold weather and a rain storm slowing both squads. Kenyon proved to have the l etter bad weather run- ners of the two teams by coming out on the long end of a 78 to 49 score. In their second engagement, the Tigers traveled to Muskingum where they received a sound trouncing at the hands of the Muskies. With Wittenberg winning only one first place, that by Cliff Sampson in the shot put, Muskingum found it easy to come out the winner by a 10516 to 21% score. Heidelberg’s cinder pounders also proved to be too much of a match for Coach Blackburn’s lx ys as they took the meet on their home grounds to the tune of S4 to 43. In the final meet at Capital, it looked as though Wit- tenberg would come through with that long awaited first victory, but in the last waning moments of the meet Capital put on a spurt to win by a decisive score of 72% to 54%. An outstanding member of the team was Cliff Samp- son, who not only won seven first places and one sec- ond place during the regular season, but also was Wit- tenberg’s lone representative in the Ohio Conference meet at Bowling Green. Although he was the only Tiger in the meet, Wittenberg tied for ninth place on Cliffs first place in the shot put and fifth place in the discus. Lettermen: Donald Clinton.

TENNIS The beginning of April found the 1947 tennis team taking to the courts for tryouts and the first few prac- tices. Coach Christie E. Christianson sent his squad through two weeks of hard drill in preparation for the season opener on April IS. As with other spring sports, the schedule was cut throughout the season because of rain and cold The first match, played at Capital, was tight all the way, and only after play in the last set had been com- pleted was the final score certain as the foe eked out a 4- 3 victory. Two weeks later, the home opener was lost to a powerful Denison team at a 6-1 score, but soon after this game the Tigers retaliated by trouncing Muskin- gum 5-2 on home grounds. The Lutherans tangled once again during the season with Capital, but the home ground asset failed to help as the visitors walked off with 6-1 honors. May 16 saw the close of the season as the team traveled to Bowling Green and captured victory at a 5- 2 count. Letters were awarded to Fred Daupenspeck, Earl Fritts, Don Gast, Gene Ilannum, and John Swavely. Page Eighty-Six CHEER LEADERS McNclly, Jones, Olirgren, Galbreath, Bader, Allen, Kessler, Islcr. Little honored as part of the athletic program, yet constantly trying to evoke the school spirit are the cheerleaders. At the beginning of each year Boost W holds tryouts for positions on the cheerleading teams. After several group practices, coached by the cheerleaders of the previous year, the new regime is chosen by representatives from Boost W. Trying to be cheerful and active during cold, damp football games, and always being full of pep on the basketball floor do not constitute the complete duties of a cheerleader. There are countless practices spent trying to invent new and clever yells that students will like. After this, there is the question of whether the new yell will be well received, and if anyone will bother to learn it. Usually only a handful does take the trouble to cooperate in putting over a new yell, so for several games only an echo can be heard while the cheerleaders go all out in front. Then there are pep rallies—in rain or cold the cheerleaders are there to send the team off to victory, even if no one else is. They engineer the snake dances through town, and pull the whole student body along, thus showing their loyalty to the team by demonstrating it to the citizens of Springfield. Last year those who acted as cheerleaders were: Marilyn Carter, Jan Kessler, Nan Isler, Miriam McNelly, Marilyn Jones, Marilyn Ohrgren, Gale Galbreath, and Jo Allen. Kenny Bader was the ninth cheerleader and head of the group. INTRAMURALS MEN’S INTRAMURALS The winter intramural season was opened with two leagues of basketball beginning their league play. At the same time the bowling teams from the various groups started their match play. The basketball cham- pionship race was close from the beginning with two very strong teams vying for the leadership of both the leagues: ATO and Phi Mu in League One and ATO and Phi Psi in the second league. ATO turned up with the winning combination in both leagues by not losing a game all season and also being the only ones to beat the runnerups in both leagues. The champion- ship race in bowling was also close with the Phi Mus eking out the victory with a record of 12 wins and 6 losses as over against runnerup Dorm’s record of 13 wins and 7 losses. In the foul shooting contest Walt Kendig paced the Phi Psis to the title by throwing through the hoop 59 times. The Phi Psis garnered 260 with ATO running a close second with 252 points. The annual intramural swimming meet was as close a race as anyone could ask for in this year's intramural program. The Phi Gams and the Betas tied for first place with the ATO's coming in second. The way this contest is run off is through the use of preliminary heats to determine the number of men each team will have swimming in the finals. In this year’s case, the Phi Gams had a very tough break when one of the men that had qualified in the preliminary race was in- jured before the finals were run off. He was unable Page Eighty-Eight INTRAMURALS to swim and for this reason the Pin Gams were miss- ing one of their best swimmers. Intramural softball was another close championship race only this time there were three teams tied for the lead in league two. In this case the Phi Psis defeated the ATO's, after the ATO’s had beaten the Phi Mil’s, and played the champions of league one to determine the winner. The Phi Psis beat the Delta Sigs. winners of League one, and took the softball cup. In touch football the same theme of the previous spring seemed to be carried out through the closeness of the relative strength of the various teams participat- ing. The teams were divided into two teams and the Phi Psi’s won the league one championship with ease, having only one tie to mar their season. In League two, the opposite was the case. The ATO’s finally won this league's championship, but only after tying the Delta Sigs twice. Finally in the third game the ATO's beat the Delta Sigs and went on to play the Phi Psi's to determine the cup winner. Again the first two games ended in ties but the Phi Psi's finally beat the ATO’s by a score of 13 to 6 and won the cup. In tennis the ATO team of Cain, Ileinze, Longstreet, and Zimmerman beat the Lambda Chis in the cham- pionship match. The ATO team had only suffered one defeat throughout the season. The Phi Gam team proved itself to be the best in the Badminton playoff. This was the second year in a row the Phi Gams came out on the top of this league. The golf cup went to the Phi Psis who proved themselves very hard to beat in this race. The second series of the intramural seasons started with two leagues in vol- leyball and one in tennis. The ATO's and the Dorm League won the two cups in volleyball and the Phi Psis won the cup in Table Tennis. In a brief survey of the results of this year’s intramural system, we can safely say that this was one of the most hardfought seasons in intramural history with most of the teams finding their opponents at least nearly their equal. All in all, Dr. Baughman and his assistants, the intramural managers, are to be com- mended upon the good work that they did along this line. Page Eighty-Nine INTRAMURALS WOMEN’S INTRAMURALS These athletic activities promote high physical effic- iency; develop fair play, good sportsmanship, and co- operation; and maintain wholesome competition among sororities and independents. That is the goal of womens intramurals. The tennis award for 1946-1947 went to the Chi O's, second place to the Alpha Xi’s, and third place to the Independents. The coeds who practiced those wicked drives and smashes on unsuspecting opponents to win honors in the doubles tournament, were June Lindow and Betty-Jeanne Schillinger. Nan Schmidt took the singles championship. Softball honors for the spring of ’47 went to the well-deserving Alpha Delts. The Alpha Xi Delta mermaids, led by Jean Stavers, far outpaced the other groups to take an undisputed first in the swimming contest, with Delta Zeta follow- ing in second place, and Chi Omega, third. The Kappa Delts really ‘bowled ’em over to take first place for the bowling cup. Second place was awarded to Gamma Phi, and third to the Independ- ents. In volleyball. Gamma Phi Beta walked off with top Page Ninety INTRAMURALS honors after some grueling sessions of spiking and smashing. This was the first intersorority sport for 1947-1948. Last year’s doubles winners. Nan Schmidt and Doris Haughton, repeated their victorious performance to come out on top in badminton, by defeating Marilyn Birkenkamp and Barbara Timmerman. In the singles division, Joyce Weiser defeated Alice Wolff, thus cap- turing the crown for the second year in succession. However, because the awarding is computed by points, Chi Omega received the cup, followed in second place by Gamma Phi, and in third place by Delta Zeta. Running concurrently with the badminton tourna- ment was the table tennis contest. Chi Omega really went all out for victory in this line. Betty Wadsworth and Marty Davidson took the doubles by defeating Dorothy Weaver and Nan Isler, and Inna Hanneman went undefeated in the singles. With these final vic- Sports managers for 1947-4S were: Alpha Delta Pi Alice Wolff Alpha Xi Delta Dorothy Weaver Chi Omega Bette Wadsworth Independents tories to back them up for points, Chi Omega took the cup, trailed by Alpha Xi and Gamma Phi. The 1947-48 bowling tournament trophy was awarded to Alpha Delta Pi, with Alpha Xi Delta sec- ond, and Kappa Delta third. “Betts” Kaltreider was the outstanding bowler, with Jane Iloeflich, Jane Otter, Mickey McNelly, and Jean Anne Schaeffer com- pleting the winning team. Chi Omega took the posture contest award with a total of 176 points. Alpha Xi Delta was second and Alpha Delta Pi third. Individual winners were Mary Alice Teeter, first; Mary Lou Rcinheimer, second, and Dotty Zenk, Margaret Rhodes, and Carol Griesinger were tied for third. The season closed with the softball tournament, with the Zctas taking first. Alpha Delts second, and Gamma Phi Beta third.

Inactive during the war, Var- sity “W” was reorganized in February, 1946. The purpose of this organization shall be to render service to varsity ath- letics and varsity athletes at Wittenberg College, and to promote fellowship, sportsmanship and scholarship among varsity athletes. The persons eligible for this club are the fellows awarded varsity letters in the following sports: football, basketball, track, tennis, golf, swimming and base- ball. Also eligible for membership are the managers of the varsity sports. Two initiations are held each year, one at the beginning of the first semester and the second at the end of the second semester. The club sponsors dances, open houses in the gymnasium and other festivities to gain money to make Wittenberg more sports-conscious. They also have the honor of ringing the victory bell after each successful contest. 1st row—Blackburn (coach), Winterhoff (baseball), Bishop (football), Dunlap (football), Carter (football), Beymcr (football).

Page Ninety-Two HOMECOMING Always one of the bright times of the year, Home- coming was more than jubilant this year. Alumni re- turned to the college and the old fraternity house before going to the game. At half-time the Queen was intro- duced to the spectators in the stands. Then the win- ning decorations were announced amid the shouting of the winners. Evening brought an alumni student meeting in an all-college barbecue. All boarding clubs were closed for the evening and the students ate at the fieldhousc. Later that night, a dance was held. This was believed to be the first time either such event was held at the Homecoming game. Page Ninety-Three GOVERNMENT First Row: Hall, Brennan, Lcffingwell, Beyiner.

In tire fall of 1945, the Boost Wittenberg Association and the Wittenberg Women's league combined to form a temporary student governing body. Since that time the Student Council has grown to be a unified student government body with the purpose of pro- moting the true spirit of Wittenberg, of bringing to- gether faculty and students on problems of adminis- tration, of representing all students on the campus, and of promoting the general welfare of the campus. The Student Council is composed of a voting mem- bership of one representative from each social sorority and fraternity; one representative is chosen from the Wittenberg Independent Girls, the Dorm League, and for each fifty' unaffiliated women; and also there is a representative for each fifty' unafliliated men. Two representatives from Inter-fraternity Council, Pan- Ilellenic Council, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C .A., Lutheran Student Association, Wittenberg Women’s League, Boost Wittenberg Association, Women’s Athletic Asso- ciation, Bed Cross, Wittenberger Staff, and Torch staff compose the advisory members. These representatives may present and discuss problems but have no vote. Supervision of the annual campus elections is an im- portant function of the Student Council. The Council formulates voting standards, sets election dates, and prepares voting ballots for all class and other college elections. All campus events such as dances were sixmsored by the Council during the year. Robert Leffingwell was president of the Council for the year 1947-1948. Other officers selected by the Council were Thomas Brennan, vice-president; Alice Ilall, secretary; John Beymcr, treasurer. Dr. Remsberg and Dean Stauffer are the faculty ad- visors. Page Ninety-Six GOVERNMENT BOOST WITTENBERG ASSOCIATION The Boost Wittenberg Association was originally organized in 1936 for the promotion of Wittenberg drives, on and off the campus. The main purpose is the development and maintenance of school spirit. Representatives to Boost W are appointed from all social fraternities. Dorm League, Varsity “W”, Y.MCA, Wittenberger, Interfraternity Council, Band, Orches- tra, and Choir. The Director of Physical Education and the Dean of Men are also representatives. Regular functions of Boost W include the sponsor- ing of activities honors day, the planning of pep ral- lies, and the election and supervision of the cheer- leaders. During the past year, the traditional Frosh- Soph tug-of-war was revived; also, several pep rallies were held along with the annual snake dance through the downtown area. Officers of Boost W are William Renz, president; Greer Port , vice-president; Norman Nuding, secre- tary, and Mr. John Van Why, treasurer. Dean Stauffer and Mr. Van Why are faculty advisors.

The Wittenberg Women's League was founded in 1926 for the purpose of organizing all women on campus and for sponsoring projects and activities for the women and for the betterment of Wittenberg Col- lege. Activities of the past year included a tea honoring freshmen women, a Christmas and a spring formal, and the writing of the Alma Mater Pageant. Also, a reception honoring Dean Sallee was given in the early fall. The council is composed of fifteen members with a representative from each resident house. The officers of the Wittenberg Women’s League are Katherine Ann Schafer, president; Jean Sieck, vice- president; Carolyn Shreck, secretary, and Vera Janicky, treasurer.

Organized in 1926, the Lutheran Student Associa- tion has been more active each year in maintaining Lutheran consciousness on campus. This is done by contacting freshmen, by sponsoring chapel programs, by holding discussion meetings and retreats, and by commemorating important Lutheran events. Throughout the year, the Sunday evening meetings were held at the Fourth Lutheran Church where many excellent programs were given. The LSA is a national group. In February of this year, the conference of the Ohio Valley region of the LSA was held on the Wittenberg campus. This out- standing event brought together a large group of Lutheran students from Canada, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Dr. Robert Remsberg, college pastor, and Miss Ilulda Sallee, Dean of Women, serve as advisors. Offi- cers for the year are Arthur Bauer, president; Mar- garet Miller, vice-president; Ethel Dudde, secretary, and Andrew Tomo, treasurer. Committee chairmen are Charles Burkey, devotions; Robert Ilaskel, chapel; Suzanne Kohn, food; James Stull, social; James Snyder, Lutheran Student Action; Warren Host, membership and publicity; Norman Nuding, Student Council representative; Betty Swavely, pianist, and Gerald Currens, Ohio Valley Region conference. Page Ninety-Eight SERVICE Y. W. C. A. The Young Women’s Christian Association strives to promote better Christian fellowship and understand- ing among the girls on campus through the presenta- tion of current problems, discussion of higher personal development, and service to others. In order to accomplish this, the program for 1947-48 was divided into three groups. These are: Our World, with co-chairmen Louise Dellwig and Barbara Fisher; Watch Us Grow, Harriett Fitch and Betty Heiser, and Active Service, Delores Jennings and Alice Hall. Activities of the year included participation in the all-campus chest drive, the Thanksgiving sunrise serv- ice, and Christmas caroling. Other activities included several joint meetings with the YMCA, scrapbooks for hospitals, a clothing drive for needy Europeans, and chapel services every third Friday. The officers for the year were Mary Ann Rollins, president, Rachel Keister, vice-president; Ethel Duddc, secretary, and Katherine Schafer, treasurer. Advisors for the group are Deans Ruth Immell and Hulda Sallee. First Row: Katherine Schafer, Mary Ann Hollins, Rachel Keister, Ethel Duddc. Second Row: Alice Ilall.

The Young Men's Christian Association is the oldest men's organization on the Wittenberg campus, having been founded in 1855. The YMCA, in cooperation with other Christian organizations on campus, seeks to promote a positive moral and religious college spirit. It further seeks to influence students to devote themselves in united effort with all Christians in mak- ing the will of Christ effective in society, and in ex- tending the Kingdom of God throughout the world. This year, the YMCA was divided into four interest groups. They were Social Responsibility, World Relatedness, Campus Affairs, and Christian Heritage. Many of the members servel as chapel speakers, Sun- day school teachers, instructors at the Springfield YMCA, and as volunteer workers with the Lutheran Inner Mission Society throughout the year. Several joint meetings were held with the YWCA. First Row: Dr. Remsburg, Andrew Tomo, Paul Stroup, Norman N'uding. Second Row: Lester Slagle, Walter Schcrr.

ARROW AND MASK Arrow and Mask, senior women's honorary on the Wittenberg campus, was founded in 1922. The pur- pose of the organization is to encourage well-rounded development by offering incentives for whole-hearted participation in campus activities, as well as by en- couraging the maintenance of high scholastic standing. Membership in the group is limited to junior women who have a 3.00 scholarship quotient, who show out- standing leadership ability, who possess high charac- ter and personality, and who render noteworthy serv- ice to the campus. The main event of the year is the impressive “tap- ping” ceremony held at the north door of Recitation Hall early in May, when a few outstanding girls of the junior class are chosen to become members. Nancy Bristle is president of the group. Other mem- bers are Janet Downey, Ethel Duddc, Rachel Keister, Elizabeth Ann Laughner, Mary Ann Rollins, and Kath- erine Ann Schafer. Dean Immell is the faculty advisor. Miss Kantzer, Miss MacPherson, and Miss Simon are other faculty members. SKULL AND CHAIN This year marks the 25th anniversary of the found- ing of Skull and Chain, senior men's honorary. It was organized by a group of men in 1922. To those men who have attained high standards of scholarship, leadership, character, and service, mem- bership to Skull and Chain comes through an impres- sive “tapping” ceremony. The men chosen must also possess sincerity of intent and purpose and promise of future community service. Each spring no more than eight and no less than three juniors are selected for membership. This year the members are Gerald Currans, James Dunkel, Chet LaBuda, George Schiller, and George Umstcad. Honorary faculty members are President Rees Etlgar Tulloss, Dean Emeritus C. G. Shatzer, Dean Wendell G. Nystrom, Dr. Willis J. Baughman, and Prof. Rals- ton Thompson. Page One Hundred ORGANIZATIONS First Row: Gerald Currens, Gordon Miscli, Alden Sonander.

From the student body, senior men and second semester junior men who have proved their outstanding ability', super- ior leadership, and high character, and who have par- ticipated in the activities of the college community are chosen for election to Blue Key. The organization holds monthly dinner meetings to study and discuss current problems of the campus and to offer recommendations for their solution. It is the earnest desire of this fraternity to quietly promote the solution of campus problems without concern for any forthcoming credit. Blue Key is a national senior men's honorary founded in 1922. The Wittenberg chapter, one of 72 active chapters, was established in 1926. Membership is a high personal honor and an opportunity for in- dividual service to the college community. Officers arc Gordon Misch, president; Gerald Gur- rens, vice-president, and Alden Sonander, secretary. Dr. Baughman is faculty advisor. PICK AND PEN Pick and Pen is one of Wittenberg's own organiza- tions. This local junior men's honorary provides an incentive for all sophomore men to attain higher scholarship, to show greater interest in college activi- ties, 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 these requirements and must be chosen unanimously by the active members. Each year during the second week of May, sopho- more men are “tapped for Pick and Pen, which sig- nifies that their achievements of the first two years have been broad and worthy, and also provides an impetus and stepping stone toward further honors. The president of the group is Gene Fellmcth, and the secretary-treasurer is Harold Dukes. Other mem- bers are Alvin Abbott, Edgar Docring, Archer Martin, and Rex Montague. The faculty advisors are Dr. Bloomhardt and Dr. Pershing. Page One Hundred and One SCHOLASTIC HONOR First Row: Miss Dunn, Ruth Birch, Miss MacPhcrson.

ALPHA LAMBDA DELTA In the Spring of 1924, at the University of Illinois, Alpha Lambda Delta was founded by Maria Leonard, Dean of Women. This new organization was for fresh- men women. Its high purpose was to promote intelli- gent living with an increased appreciation of both the love of study and the cultural phases of campus life. Superior scholarship, Alpha Lambda Delta maintained, can be attained by every new college student. The high plane set in the freshmen year builds the whole foundation for the following years. The young organi- zation recognized the importance of this fact and sought to awaken each freshman woman to this reali- zation. In 1926, Alpha Lambda Delta became a national organization. By 1942 it had expanded to 46 chapters in 26 states. By 1946, three more chapters had been added. Alpha Lambda Delta lives today on the Wittenberg campus with the same high ideals set for it over twenty years ago. First Row: Clyde McCormack, Dr. Pershing, Harry Sutcliffe.

PHI ETA SIGMA Phi Eta Sigma, freshman honor fraternity for men, is once again assuming an important place on our campus. Under the direction of President Bernard Reed, the local chapter has worked hard during the past year in stressing scholarship among the freshman men. Phi Eta Sigma, a national organization with more than 50 chapters, was founded at the University of Illinois in 1923 with its purpose to reward outstanding scholarship among freshman men. To be eligible for membership, a student must com- pile a 3.5 scholarship quotient for his first semester, or for the entire freshman year. Wittenberg is one of the smallest colleges to be honored with a chapter. Vice-president Jack Schrcibcr and secretary-treas- urer Charles Drumm, as well as the other members of the local chapter are looking for a bright future for scholarship on our campus. Page One Hundred and Two RECOGNITION PI SIGMA ALPHA The Alpha Xi chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha, national honor society in Political Science, was established at Wittenberg on November 20, 1947.

Membership of this organization, which is elective, is confined to those who are special- izing in educational work in preparation for teaching. The purpose of the organization is to promote in- terest in education and to provide a source of recog- nition for those students who have excelled in this field. The national fraternity was established in 1922, and the local Eta chapter was established at Wittenberg College the following year. Today it is one of the most active fraternities on campus and enjoys a large and interesting faculty representation. Requirements for initiation are the completion of six hours of education courses and a scholarship quo- tient of 2.5 for all courses or 2.75 for the previous semester. Officers of the group are Kale Canfield, president; Richard Perkins, vice-president; Richard Fraelich, cor- responding secretary and treasurer, and Paul Wilson, recording secretary.

PHI MU ALPHA SINFONIA Alpha Tau chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfoniay the men’s social-professional music fraternity, has been on the Wittenberg campus for twenty active years. Its aim constantly has been to advance the cause of music in America, and therefore Alpha Tau requires its members to be “musicianly men and manly mu- sicians”. Sinfonia’s social functions for the past year included a picnic breakfast, a smoker, formal dances, and a buffet supper at the home of Dr. Carroll Gaver, a local alumnus. The professional aspect is projected into the sing- ing of a fine choral group, which each spring presents a concert. In addition, musical programs are pre- sented bi-weekly for the purpose of listening to and discussing music with its various aspects. Laurence Hugh is Sinfonia’s president Other of- ficers are John Kinsel, vice-president and song leader; George Paulus, secretary; Stanley Coffelt, supreme councilman; Robert Rittenhouse, treasurer; Gordon Thor, alumni secretary; Charles Anders, warden; and Robert Jones, historian.

The club arranges museum trips and lectures, supplementing college facilities. Socially, it plans the annual Artist’s Ball and after-hour get-to- gethers in the big lab.” Projects being pushed by the club include an art exhibition case in Recitation Hall, a display in the Li- brary annex, a gallery in Blair Hall, an open house in the art lab, and museum trips to Detroit, Dayton, Co- lumbus, and Cincinnati. The club’s purposes and aspirations receive the par- ticipation and interest of all members. With Pro- fessor Thompson's continued encouragement and guid- ance, the club should enjoy a long, useful life at Wit- tenberg. First Row: Miss MacPherson, Ruth Traub. Second Row: Helen Goschke, Carol Webber, Patricia McCann, Dorothy Keller, Mary Emerson, Mary Brown, Ruth Leek. POETRY CLUB The Poetry Club was organized at Wittenberg Col- lege in 1933. Throughout the fourteen years of or- ganization, members have had several collections of poems published. The only requirement necessary for membership in the Poetry Club is to enjoy reading and listening to verse. Ability to write poetry is not necessary, al- though most of the members try it sometime during the year. The group holds monthly meetings, having profes- sors and local poets who either are interested in or who have written poetry for guest speakers. The officers for this year are Harriett Fitch, presi- dent; Jenny Cory, secretary-treasurer; and Carol Weber, program chairman. The faculty advisor is Miss Georgia MacPherson, who has published several collections of poetry. Page One Hundred and Eight PHI SIGMA IOTA ORGANIZATIONS Phi Sigma Iota is a national honorary society which has as its purpose the recognition of outstanding abil- ity and attainment in Romance languages. The Wit- tenberg chapter, Phi Beta, was installed in May, 1936. The organization strives to stimulate advance work and individual research in the field. The prerequisite for initiation is a scholarship quotient of 3.00 in French or Spanish, and a 2.00 in all other courses. Only juniors and seniors taking a third year of college French or Spanish are eligible. Before graduation, each senior member of the group writes a paper pertaining to the Romance languages. • Throughout the United States there are 40 chapters, of which Miss Georgia MacPhcrson is national sec- retary. Activities in past years have included the exchang- ing of letters with Otterbein College, caroling in French and Spanish, and sponsoring movies in French. Officers of the society are Nancy West, president; Alden Sonander, secretary-treasurer; and Rachel Keis- ter, program chairman. First Row: Miss MacPherson, Nancy West, Alden Sonander. Second Row: Dr. Lugo-Silva, William Askren, Dr. Remsberg, Corrinc Wilson, Dr. Engcr- rand. Rachel Keister. THETA ETA KAPPA The Home Economics club, first organized on Wit- tenberg campus in 1925, was reorganized in 1945 and named Theta Eta Kappa. Its objectives are to further social contacts among members of the club, to better the members' knowledge in the various home economic fields, and to train young women to be active and ef- ficient leaders in home and community life. The themes for the meetings of this year have been interior decoration, fashion, vocation, and many other interesting topics. The club was divided into groups, and every month one of the groups provided a pro- gram. This year, the Southern Conference of Home Eco- nomic clubs of the southern Ohio regions met at Wit- tenberg, October 18. Officers of Theta Eta Kappa are Edwinna Stewart, president; Rachel Werstler, vice-president; Barbara Timmerman, secretary; Eleanor Teets, treasurer; and Rosemary Rook, program chairman.

Page One Hundred and Nine MISCELLANEOUS SHIFTERS What is the right attitude? Shifters, the most talked about and least known about group on campus, was organized soon after the arrival of Dr. J. W. Barker at Wittenberg. This or- ganization is the most democratic yet exclusive group on campus, for while there is only one requirement for membership, many a BMOC and many a “four pointer have failed to attain membership for want of the mys- terious right attitude. 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. There are no officers, and anyone may call a meeting which is usually held at the “same time, same place”. The pledge pin is a king size safety pin which is replaced at initiation by an active pin—a paper clip. First Row: Ray, Wood, Coschkc, Zonk, Zimmerman, Bishop, Norris.

RED CROSS Although the college unit of the American Red Cross is one of the youngest organizations on the campus, it is very active. Various projects were com- pleted during the year. Wittenberg College was chosen as host for a college unit conference on January 15, 16, and 17, which was an honor never before extended to a college campus. Mrs. Ruth Wiley, Lorain, Ohio, is chairman of the Wittenberg College unit.

One of the latter may be chosen for each nation represented. At present, students are at Wittenberg from Austria, Bolivia, China, Costa Rica, Cuba, Denmark, Finland, France, Holland, and Puerto Rico. Nicholas del Castillo of Habana, Cuba, is the president of the club. The committee on Foreign Students of the faculty serves as advisor to the organ- ization. The objectives are to disseminate information re- garding different countries, to educate the members to think internationally, and to stimulate the thinking of the college community in world affairs. Meetings are held twice a month. First Roto: Winston Silus. Barbara Fleming, Jane Davis, Charles Speer. Second Row: George Allf, Robert Scoon.

The local chapter was formed September, 1947 and is un- der the direction of the Church Society for College Work. The Canterbury Club endeavors to promote the Christian way of life among college students through a program of worship, fellowship, service, and good, wholesome fun. The club takes part in various serv- ices of the church, contributes financially to world- wide programs of student aid, and conducts such ac- tivities as may benefit students locally. Dinner meet- ings arc held twice a month with programs of an edu- cational nature. The officers for 1947-48 are Winston Silas, president; Charles Speer, vice-president; Barbara Fleming, secre- tary; and Evelyn KristofF, treasurer. The Rev. Harris J.

Between participating in a lively intramural program and in intercollegiate play days, the girls of the Women's Athletic Association were busy every minute this year. W.A.A. organizes and manages all forms of competitive women's sports at Wittenberg. Basketball, hockey, tennis, and swimming clubs were formed for intercollegiate competition. The hockey club showed the results of their intensive practice in games against the Uni- versity of Dayton, Ohio Wesleyan, Ohio State, and Oakwood. The highlight of the season for swimmers was an intercollegiate meet at Purdue, March 13, where the natators swam against Pur- due, Denison, and Butler College. Wittenberg's W.A.A. also played host to Otterbein, University of Dayton, Ohio Wesleyan, Denison, Capital, Antioch, and the University of Cincinnati in a series of basketball play days during February and March. The intramural program ran smoothly under the direction of Ruth Sheriff, president; Alice Hall, vice president; Betty Jean Schillinger, recording secretary; Audrey Esping, social secretary; Joyce Weiser, treasurer, and with the assistance of the various sports managers. Coach Earl McCullough was the speaker at the W.A.A. award banquet last fall. After finish- ing a good meal prepared by the camping class, the awards were announced. Having earned 1300 or more points, Marion Bolster, Audrey Esping, Alice Hall, Rita Klenke, and Janet Krider received sweaters. Twenty-one girls with 800 points were awarded letters. Janet Downey, Vir- ginia Manning, Jo.Miller, Ruth Sheriff, and Jean Stavers received their sweaters in the spring of 1947. An improved system of awarding numerals, letters, and sweaters for sports participation was inaugurated in December. The organization was also very active during the year. In co-opera- tion with Varsity W , dances were held after every home basketball game, and a concession stand was maintained during the games. Page One Hundred Twelve PUBLICATIONS PUBLICATIONS The past year goes into history as one of the most outstanding eras in Wittenberg publications. The MOSAIC, a quarterly literary project, had its inception while the TORCH was being re- vamped into a streamlined weekly campus paper. On the opening of school, students discovered a TORCH supercharged into a bonafidc news or- gan with enlarged picture coverage, a cartoon strip, a twelve-hour deadline, and a host of new features. Using off-set lithography, the editors, Ed Doering and Dean Spragg, and business man- ager Hal Rhoads set several precedents: John Norris's cartoon strip was the first place awardee in Ohio collegiate circles; the homecoming edi- tion contained pictures of all house decorations; the Wednesday editions displayed stories and pictures of Tuesday night basketball games; the thirty-one issues marked a new high in volume. On the business end, $1000 was invested in permanent equipment, yet the paper suffered no financial ills. At year’s end, the Associated Col- legiate Press gave the TORCH a first class rank- ing. The new literary addition, the MOSAIC, had a quiet birth in the fall, but grew through the year into a lusty youngster under the sponsorship of Prof. MacPherson and her creative writing class. Containing no ads, the mimeographed pamphlet accepted original poetry and prose from stu- dents to augment stories and essays from the writing class. The WITTENRERCER, pictorial review of campus life, entered its third post-war program under editor Alvin Abbott and business manager Stan Grueninger. Maintaining the expanded book size and modem format, the yearbook staff attempted to assemble a normal W1TTEX- RERGER in the face of highly abnormal campus conditions. PI DELTA EPSILON Pi Delta Epsilon, national college journalism fraternity, was organized to further the cause of college journalism and to recognize those active in college publications. Throughout the country Pi Delta Epsilon has 6S chapters, four of which are in Ohio. The Wittenberg chapter has existed since 1930. Membership is obtained by serving one year on a major position or an aggregate of two years on a minor position on the editorial or business staff of the Wittcnberger, Torch, or Mosiac. Editors and business managers of both the Wittcnberger and the Torch arc automatic- ally eligible for membership. Seminary students are also included in the organization, if they meet the above requirements. Meetings are devoted to discussion pertaining to the betterment of the campus publications. The members of Pi Delta Epsilon combine with those of the Torch staff each spring for the traditional picnic. The members of both these organizations hold combined functions through- out the school year. President of Pi Delta Epsilon is John Norris, and the secretary-treasurer is Helen Goschke. Professor Thompson is the faculty advisor. PI DELTA EPSILON First Iiow: John Norris. Helen Goschke. Second Row: Archer Martin, Edgar Doering, Ruth Traub, Barbara Wolfe, Gordon Misch. Dean Spragg.

After membership on the squad was gained by competi- tive try-outs, the debaters learned the techniques of de- bating by practical experience. Much profitable time and effort was spent on the national first year topic which was, Resolved: That Compulsory Arbitration of All La- bor Disputes Be Established by the Federal Govern- ment . After a successful season followed by the state first year tournament, the debaters were eligible to be pledged to Tau Kappa Alpha, national honorary forensic fraternity, and were promoted to the varsity squad. Members of the first year squad were Dawn Downs, Dorothy Keller, Virginia Layfield, Lois Legge, Doris Pfeifer, Betty Williamson, Minton Brees, John Cross, Dolf Droge, Robert Fedak, James Garrison, George Gro- ver, Robert Haskel, Richard Heeter, James Metzger, Russell Rakestraw, Robert Schwcikart, Robert Walsh, Carl Withers, and Rex Zimmerman.

DRAMATICS When the curtain went up in the Little Theater this fall, Wittenberg students found a depart- ment actively engaged in all phases of theater art. Charles Endter, a graduate of 1947, coached the players after a summer with the Ohio State University theater. First of the programs to be presented on the Blair Hall stage was a series of one-act plays directed by advanced students Janis Fessler, Howard Congwer, George Haines, John Rockel, and Roberta Shurtz. While the production group of the department was busily producing these one-act plays, Charles Endter was teaching a class in dramatic theory. On the 15th of October, rehearsals for a three-act production, “Mr. and Mrs. North , began. Roberta Shurtz and Donald Zornow played the clue-seeking Greenwich Village couple supported by eighteen members of the cast. The North mystery-comedy ran for three nights in December and drew capacity crowds at all times. After vacation, Coach Endter selected a three-act play in verse to present the first week in February. “Gammer Gurton’s Needle” is an old English comedy written in modern adaptation by Colin Campbell Clements. It centers around an old maid, Gammer Gurton, who loses her precious needle. The ensuing fray is one continuous riot punctuated by extreme pantomime. The set for this play was designed and painted by John Norris of the Art Department. Realizing that activities are at a minimum during the Lenten Season, the department decided to produce several religious one-act plays in keeping with the season. These plays were directed by student directors and presented in February and March. Not content in learning only the problems of the actor, the class did extensive work on the Little Theater in construction. The curtain, which heretofore blocked out five feet of the stage when opened, was taken down and a new track built. This gave the stage a 20 foot opening instead of the previous 15 feet. The department also purchased drapes for the auditorium win- dows in order to black out the auditorium for matinee performances. Professor Brees is Director of the Theater, and Charles Endter is Production Director. Page One Hundred Eighteen CHOIR Presenting six performances in eight clays, the Wittenberg A Capella Choir brought home the spontaneous acclaim of hundreds of listeners in four states from its annual spring tour. High- spotting each program was “The Seven Last Words of Christ” by Dubois. The choir members returned to present a command performance on the campus as the result of the choir’s high popularity among the students and citizens of the Springfield, Columbus, Dayton area.

This year the selection of that Queen was left to Earl Carroll of Hollywood, California. Of the candidates selected by the fraternities, he selected the top three for special mention. Of these he selected Miss Rachel Anderson of Springfield as the most representative of Wittenberg Beauties. Pictured above are Mamy Davis, Rachel Anderson, and Mary Alice Teeter. Other can- didates are pictured on the page facing this. Page One Hundred Twenty-three ALMA MATER Traditionally, Alma Mater is the greatest of all Wittenberg ceremo- nies. An integral part of the graduation of every alumnus for many years, the presentation of the pageant was first introduced by Dr. C. G. Shatzer. Each year the women of the school elect one of their number to be the Alma Mater Queen for that year. The Candidates for this honor are se- lected by the senior women of W. W. L. on a basis of high scholastic standing, personality, and participation in college activities. Alma Mater for the year 1947 was Miss Jan Downey.

Interfraternity Council, organized in 1930, is a coordinating body that brings cooperation to the fraternity scene. Composed of two representatives from each fraternity, the council deals with problems primarily concerning rushing, pledge training, social activities, and difficulties arising among the several fra- ternities. The council is represented in the Boost Wittenberg Association and Student Council by the two members elected from the group. Each year the council encourages better scholarship by awarding a loving cup to the fraternity having the highest schol- arship average. Activities of the year include a bridge tourna- ment, Varsity Night, and two dances. The Club 400” dance, presented along a night club theme, was one of the outstanding social events of the season. The council handbook, “Modern Greeks at Wittenberg , ex- plaining fraternities on the campus, was distributed to incoming men. In this publication. President Rees Edgar Tulloss made the following statement about fraternities, The attitude of the ad- ministration at Wittenberg College toward our fraternities is eas- ily set forth; wc welcome and appreciate the very important con- tribution these social groups arc making to the intellectual, social, and moral development of the men at Wittenberg . The officers are President, James Dunkel; Vice-president, Don Black; Treasurer, Eugene Ilannum; and Secretary, Harry Schmidt. Dr. Laatsch and Dean Stauffer are the faculty advisors.

Margaret Hosier, Carol Nulsen, Jane Scibcrling, Janet Johnson. Barbara Timmerman. Pan-Hellenic Council is the organization on campus which coordi- nates intersorority activities and discusses the problems of each group. It has the power to impose restrictions upon the member groups for vio- lation of any of tthe statutes set up in its compact. The Council is composed of the president of each sorority and one other representative from each group. Meetings are held monthly at the different houses. The officers of Pan-Hellenic for 1947-48 were: Rachel Keister, presi- dent; Mary Ann Rollins, v. president; Dottie Zenk, secretary; and Carol Nulsen, treasurer. Representatives of the six sororities for that year were: Alpha Delta Pi, Mary Ann Rollins and Jane Seiberling; Alpha Xi Delta, Rachel Keister and Shirley Holt; Chi Omega, Barbara Timmerman and Peg Hosier; Delta Zeta, Dottie Zenk and Jan Downey; Gamma Phi Beta, Mary Fran Kerr and Jan Fessler; Kappa Delta. Jan Johnson and Carol Nulsen. During the course of the year. Pan-Hellenic sponsors an intersorority bridge tournament, exchange dinners between the sororities, and an all- sorority dance. Excerpts from the organization’s creed give an idea of the real goal behind this worthwhile group: “We stand for good scholarship, good health, wholehearted coopera- tion with our college ideals for student life, maintenance of fine social standards, and for serving, to the best of our ability, our own college community ’ Since its formation in 1921. Pan-Hellenic has done much toward the promotion of friendly relations between sororities. Not only has it made valuable contributions to college life through its functions and activities, but it has aided student life individually through the benefits derived from membership in such an organization. Dean Iiulda Sallee is faculty advisor for the group, guiding the policy of the organization. Page One Hundred Twenty-nine ALPHA DELTA PI If you like to see girls enjoying college life, you should meet the Alpha Delta Pi’s. They love every minute of it! And their pledge class of last fall added another group of girls with that special zest for living that makes campus life so much fun. And if it's school spirit you’re thinking of, the Alpha Delts have it! They had two cute majorettes, three vivacious cheerleaders, and eight songsters in the choir. Two were initiated into the scholarship honorary, Alpha Lambda Delta. Mary Ann Rollins was president of the Alpha Delts, president of Y.W.C.A., member of Arrow and Mask, and one of ten Wittenberg students chosen for “Who’s Who in the Colleges of America”. Lovely Jane Seiberling was Homecoming Attendant. When good friends get together, the A D Pi’s are happiest—and what a happy year this has been! Pledge banquet—informal pledge dance—Christmas formal, Snowflake Fantasy—sorority and fraternity exchange dinners—traditional Sweetheart formal dinner-dance— initiation banquet—spring informal—Senior banquet. And now it’s time once again to say good-bye to those grand girls, the seniors of A D Pi. We wish they could be with us again next fall when we meet for an- other year of fun and friendship in Alpha Delta Pi.

Page One Hundred Thirty-two ALPHA XI DELTA Activity has been the keynote at 203 West College this year. After the rushing parties, the pledges started our social season with an informal house dance, “Starry Fu- ture”. An Old English these prevailed at our Christinas dinner-dance. By virtue of having won the intersorority sing last May, the Xi’s went caroling with the Dorm League at 5 o'clock the morning of Christmas vacation. During Lent the usual sorority and fraternity exchange dinners were enjoyed. In March came our open house buffet dinner, and in April our annual Founder’s Day banquet. The traditional, lovely Rose Dance and the Senior Breakfast climaxed the year's social activities. Holding campus offices were Rae Keister, our prexy, as president of Panhellenic Council; Katy Ann Schafer, head of WWL and during the second semester a member of the college biology staff; Sheriff, leader of the activities of WAA; and Hat” Fitch, president of Poetry Club. Helping to cheer our teams to victory were Bolster, C'amie, and Nannie Islcr. Representing us in the choir were B. J. Heifer, Barbara Barth, and Bobbie Fitch. “Mat Teeter, wearing Chet’s ATO pin, made a beau- tiful homecoming attendant.

The results were more than gratifying, as on the following Wednes- day, twenty outstanding freshmen girls happily sported the crescent. Among the many memories to l e cherished were the winning of the volleyball, badminton, and basketball tournaments for the year 1947-48. Our girls fought hard and got the credit and recognition they deserved. Gamma Phi, for many of its girls, is not the only Greek letter organization of which they are members. Nan West and Corky Wilson belong to Phi Sigma Iota, na- tional Romance language honorary, while Sigma Alpha Iota, national music sorority, claims the Tuesday nights of Marian “Kitten Stoneman. Also, among the journal- ists about the campus are Prexy Fran Kerr and Rosie Rook, who belong to Pi Delta Epsilon, national journalism fraternity. There are Alpha Nus in others, too. Nan Schmidt and Kari Ann Zimmerman are associated with Shifters. Ruth Frank is on the Mosaic staff. The Fessler sisters partake in athletic endeavors, Jan being a peppy, volatile cheer- leader, while Donna Jean expertly twirls her baton as drum majorette. Ruth Wiley is again chairman of the Wittenberg College Red Cross unit, and last but cer- tainly not least, Jane Ritter is an Alpha Gam social privi- lege from DePauw. Mamie Davis and Kari Ann Zimmerman are Alpha Nu’s candidates for Miss Wittenberger. Our pledges were pretty grand girls. They flaunted their talents in an appropriate and clever skit for Found- er's Day, November II, and on January 16, they feted their big sisters with a Rum's Ball at the chapter house. Everyone had a marvelous evening in old clothes and stocking feet. Speaking of parties and dances, every Gamma Phi will certainly include among her souvenirs the Christmas for- mal with its gay, festive atmosphere, as well as the dreamy spring dance held at Hotel Shawnee. We close our album of souvenirs for now, but we will open it up again in the fall, eagerly making room for all the souvenirs in the season to come. ALPHA NU CHAPTER Uarbaru Allan beaver, renna.

Page One Hundred Thirty-six DELTA ZETA Fall 1947 found the Delta Zetas trekking back to Wit- tenberg and 923 North Fountain Ave. First event on the social calendar was the DZ Mardi Gras for the new fresh- men girls. A tea was held early in the year in honor of our new housemother, Mrs. Alice Miller, to introduce her to the campus. Several informal dances and rush parties were fea- tured during the fall season. Homecoming brought a houseful of alums and an open house following the big game. Christmastime—caroling, a party for orphans, enter- taining soldiers at Dayton, a big and little sister exchange, and our annual active formal dinner kept us busy. Christmas vacation found the Delta Zetas looking for- ward to the “Midnite Sparkle” formal, given by the sopho- more class early in January. Our pledge class enter- tained the rest of the pledges on campus with a clever “Come As You Are” party. The Delta Zetas came through to capture the badmin- ton trophy again this year. More sports, as well as ex- change dinners and open houses, provided plenty of ac- tivity for second semester. Spring events included the long-awaited formal and a junior party for the rest of the junior girls on campus. Cupid is a popular personage at the DZ house, for this year found the lamp of Delta Zcta well guarded by fra- ternity pins. Jane Mills, Dottie B.. D. Z., Ruth, Audrey, Jan R., and Waggie proudly wear two pins on their sweat- ers. Members of the engaged set include Smitty, Marcy, Lu, Lois, Mary Lou, Jeanne, Phyl B., Alice M., and Kaye W.—who added another ring to her third finger February 21. Proud indeed were the Delta Zetas when Jan Downey was chosen Alma Mater Queen last spring. Jan is also a member of Arrow and Mask. Shifters claim Jan and D. Z. as members. Other honoraries include Janet Rheingans in Tau Kappa Alpha; Arleen Thompson and Beverly Thomason in Sigma Alpha Iota; Janet Downey and Peg Miller in Alpha Lambda Delta; Mary Lou Hein .man in Pi Delta Epsilon; Jan R. and Maggie Ilardenbergh in Psi Chi. Sue Behrens and Jan R. both worked hard on the Wittenbcrger. Debaters are represented by Ellie Arm- strong, Jan. R., and Lynn Kuhls. Many Delta Zetas are also active in choir, L.S.A., Y.W.C.A., Theta Eta Kappa, and W.A.A. BETA CHI CHAPTER Marcia Kracmcr Green Bay, Wisconsin Dorothy Zenk Erie, Penna. Page One Hundred Thirty-seven KAPPA DELTA On October 23rd our chapter joined with Dayton and Springfield alums to celebrate the 50th anniversary of national Kappa Delta and the 20th anniversary of Alpha Nu chapter. Mrs. Edith Betz, our province president, was a special guest. Following the fall rush season, climaxed by our pref- erence parties with the production of a “Cindy Skit”, we found the shoe fit eleven fine girls. On October 11th we held formal initiation for Carol Holman, Liz Teets and Jean White. The next day we honored our new house- mother, Mrs. Julia B. Hand, with a tea at the house. The pledge dance was Oct. 18th, and Nov. 1st the KD’s and the Delta Sigs had a potluck supper at Caroline Gavcr's. Homecoming was a big day for all of us when we re- ceived the cup for our house decorations of “Capital Falls”. Many thanks to you, Fulton, for a job well done. The next big occasion was the sweetheart serenade for Jan Hunsicker and Bob Bowman on Nov. 24th. Then we returned from Turkey and Dressing Vacation to the swish and swirl of the Christmas Formal. At the Christ- mas dinner and exchange we enjoyed a visit from Santa, the tree, caroling, fun and entertainment. January, punctuated with snow, semester exams, lines of registration, and more snow, saw the completion of a renovated dormitory on third floor with new floors, closets, and a celebration. Dr. Dan Cupid opened second semester at the pledges party for all Pan-Hcl pledges, Feb. 7th. On Sat., Feb. 14th we entertained orphans from Clark County Home. A bridge party was sponsored by the KD’s before the March winds invaded our campus. The annual White Bose banquet followed initiation March 5th for nine girls. On April 10th we visited the soldiers at Brown Hospital in Dayton. The spring highlight was our annual White Bose For- mal on the 15th of May, climaxing another social whirl of Kappa Delta. We claim as campus leaders Eddie, president of Theta Eta Kappa; Bobbie, as Mrs. North; Jan Johnson, Senior Class Secretary; and Tainy, as Junior Class Secretary. In sports fields Lynne, Ginny, Caroline, Jan J., Jean, and Tainy received WAA awards, while Gaver was WAA pub- licity chairman. We were awarded the bowling plaque ( 46-47) and runners-up spot in basketball (’47-48). Betty Klauenberg was on the Dean’s List, and Tainy made Tau Kappa Alpha. KD representatives were found in all campus organizations. Not lacking in romance, Eddie, Jan II., and Lynne wore rings; Betty K., Fulton, Marilyn, and Jan H. sported frat pins. And Eddie was chosen Cinderella of Phi Mu’s Cinderella Ball! In keeping with our national philanthropy, Alpha Nu has adopted a local crippled girl. We visited her every week and included her in some of our parties at the house. It has been work, fun, play, trials, and problems that have made a successful 20th year, “and these have ever been a part of Kappa Delta”.

Page One Hundred Forty CHI OMEGA Page by page the calendar months of two more col- lege semesters have been leafed through, and with them a year of long-remembered activities and events for Chi Omega Fraternity. It was the Chi Oriental rush parties which started things at 11 W. College. That same weekend the ac- tives did justice to dozens of sizzling hotdogs at a chapter picnic. Later in the fall season came the pledge dance at Neal Temple followed by another pledge event, this time in the form of a banquet at the Shawnee Hotel. Oct. 20. The new look” did not escape the annual Christmas formal Dec. 5 when couples glided across the dance floor of the Hotel Shawnee to the music of Eddie Kadel. Following the New Year came initiation, the faculty tea, the traditional Gingham formal, and the senior break- fast to round out a full schedule for Chi Omega. The afternoon of the Homecoming game, the rain sifted through thick clouds alx ve. Nevertheless, the Chi O's disregarded weather conditions and beamed with pride when Audrey Esping was crowned Homecoming Queen for 1947. They were equally happy when Chi Omega capped first place in the tennis doubles tourna- pionship for the Chi O’s. M. Birkenkamp and B. Timmer- man added to the victories with first place in the badmin- ton doubles. March brought the bridge cup, thanks to Alice Gchr, Winnie Jones, B. J., and Irma. B. J. Schillinger and June Lindow topped two of their own sorority sisters, Bette Wadsworth and Marty Davidson in the final play-off. However, Marty and Bette rallied to capture the ping-pong championship for the Chi O’s. M. Birkenkamp and B. Timmerman added to the victories with first place in the badminton doubles. March brought the birdge cup, thanks to Alice Gehr, Winnie Jones, B. J., and Irma. At the WAA banquet Audrey Esping and Janet Kridcr received the sweater and letter awards; B. J. Schillinger and Marty Schmunk were awarded letters; Marty David- son, Marg Hahn, Betty Ann Laughner and Bette Wads- worth acquired numerals. June Lindow used gestures to the fullest extent as a member of the debate team which took 2nd place in the Women's State Debate Tournament at Capital Univ. She is also a member of the choir which claims Jean Hart, Pat Kalback, Dolores Silvestri, and Jo Spielhaupter. YWCA Cabinet includes Louise Dellwig, Bobbie Fisher, Jean Hart, B. J. Schillinger. The secretarys chair in the Wittenberg Student Gov’t was taken over by Jo Peterson and Lyn Shreck filled the same position for WWL. Lyn was later elected secre- tary of the sophomore class while Dolores Silvestri filled the office of treasurer for the freshman class. Jean Per- rine served as feature editor on the Torch and Jean Baker, Barbara Fisher, Sylvia Hardy and Winifred Jones acted as reporters on the staff. And—so it goes with the Chi O’s.

Since December 10, 1940 the Wittenberg Independ- ent Girls organization has been active for the non- sorority women on campus. Just last year they were presented the Boost W. scholarship cup for the third time. Mrs. Arthur Lutz, Mrs. Paul Glasoe and Miss Helen Mendenhall were chosen as patronesses for the year. Activities are not lacking within this group. The 1947 season made its debut in the form of an outdoor sing for unaffiliated women. A barn dance followed later in the fall season, and with the approach of the goblins and Oct. 31 came a Hallowe’en party given by the actives for their new pledge class. For the first time in several years, the WIGS led the Ferncliff girls in decorating their dorm for Homecoming. A Christmas party at the home of Mrs. Lutz brought the first tinges of the Yuletide spirit. The new semes- ter ushered in a range of events highlighted by a for- mal banquet and installation of officers in the spring. Prexy Mabel Sarbaugh is active in WAA, WWL and Theta Eta Kappa. Mary Jane Tanner is a member of SAI, the music honorary for women. Bonnie Jellema, Betty Swavely and Joan McGee are active, in LSA. Ruth Agle is another Theta Eta Kappa enthusiast. One of the most recent WIG members, Olga Irs- chick, has come to Wittenberg from India where her father is a missionary. Betty Swavely has also spent a number of years in that same country. Wilma Maurer will receive her diploma at the close of the school year. A Dorm League pin is being won� by Bonnie, and Bunnie shines a sparkler on her left hand which matches the sparkle in her eyes. Joy Mc- Farland and Dotty Wiandt are each promised to “the man at home.” Page One Hundred Forty-two PI KAPPA ALPHA First Row: Bishop, Callison, Davis. Second Row: Detrick, Farish, Flaherty.

GAMMA ZETA CHAPTER William Diehl Harry Wren Springfield, Ohio For the second straight year the wearers of the Gai'- net and Gold met the new term as the only fraternity on the campus without a house. Although the house- less situation put many crimps in the plans, we Pi Kaps nevertheless progressed closer to our goal of attaining pre-war standards. The lid on the social calendar was taken off with a rousing weiner roast on Wilkins’ farm. The big events were the Christmas and Spring formals at the K. of C. Hall and the Founder’s Day Banquet, held at the Hotel Bancroft. To cap the season, we held our annual “Stags' Brawl,” also in the seclusion of Wilkins' acres. Homecoming rolled around, and we had no site for a display. We had to do the inevitable; we built one. We properly electrocuted Capital until the rains came. In intramurals, we took the League 1 basketball cup. Bishop, Miles, Hannum, and Turner won their letters in football with Hannum doubling in basketball. Bishop and Hannum also aided the Shifters. The Gamma Zetas hope to return in the fall with a house to call their own. Gone will be Hannum who graduates, but returning will be the remainder of this “sophomore” fraternity to endeavor to continue the rise to the top. Page One Hundred Forty-three ALPHA TAU OMEGA Once again it proved to be a banner year as 1947-48 saw Alpha Taus actively represented in all aspects of campus life. As in previous years, the Wittenberg var- sity teams were sparked by a host of ATO’s with seven letter winners in football, plus All-Conference tackle Luther and honorable mention to Winkhouse and Walsh. Of twelve varsity basketball players, nine were Alpha Taus with center Gene Fellmeth climaxing a great career as second year All-Conference and most valuable player. Chet LaBuda received his fourth basketball award, be- coming the second athlete in Wittenberg history to do so. Intramural sports were actively engaged in by all with cup winners in tennis, volleyball II, and basketball III. Campus publications were guided by men of ATO with Abbott and Grucningcr teaming up as editor and business manager of the Wittenberger. The campus paper, The Torch, was published with the aid of co- editor Spragg. The recognition societies contain a full complement of the men of 40 W. Cassilly on their rosters. The national honorary, Blue Key, had Abbott as president and Can- field, LaBuda, Umstead, Homer, and Misch supporting activities. Skull and Chain is attended by LaBuda and Umstead. The junior men’s honorary, Pick and Pen, claims Fellmeth and Abbott. In Shifters, Fellmeth, La- Buda, and Misch are active participants. Outstanding social event of the year was the annual Sweetheart Dinner, preceded by chapel service and open house on Palm Sunday. The Spring and Winter Formals will long be remembered as standout affairs with numer- ous open houses and vie dances filling out the calendar.

BETA THETA PI The golden glitter of autumn heralded the beginning of the eighty-first year of Wittenberg’s Alpha Gamma Chapter of Beta Theta Pi. This was to be a year punc- tuated by many notable events. Early in the fall came the pledge dance which proved to be the opening of a successful social season. The ex- change of round robin dinners with the various campus sororities and fraternities were practically weekly occur- rences. The Shawnee Hotel guest room was alive with the Yuletide spirit as the Betas enjoyed their Christmas For- mal Dinner Dance early in December. This event proved to be a successful finish to the 1947 social season, as old father time added another page to his diary. February 22 of the New Year saw the General Secre- tary of Beta Theta Pi. Clifford Gregg, make an address at the initiation lunch. Then, early in March, the chapter was honored by the presence of the members of the Beta Women’s Club at a dinner. 1948 also has seen the Betas prominent in intramural activities. The handball team again won the handball crown, and second place in the badminton tourney went to the Betas. Also, in the bridge leagues the Betas were on top. This competition proved to be a home stretch race between Betas and Delta Sigs. Both fraternities had two teams entered in the playoffs. However, on the evening of March 31, at 11 o’clock, the bridge cup was placed with the previously won trophies above the fire- place in the Beta House. In the realm of varsity sports Mike Popko won a var- sity “W”, while Jim Hoffman and Bob Edsinger received frosh football numerals. John Geils also received his letter in the swimming circles. Dr. Melvin A. Laatsch has been a frequent guest at the chapter house and has been an active participant in fraternity affairs. Among other things, the chapter has been receiving its fraternity newspaper, the Alpha Gamma, which has not been published for quite some time. Beta Theta Pi is also proud of its seven charter mem- bers of Pi Sigma Alpha. The seven include Jim Dunkle, Stan Coffclt, Ben Grosscup, Melvin Kimble, Paul Pieper, Aldon Sonander, and Harry Sutcliffe. We feel that Jim Dunkle deserves an extra pat on the back because, in addition, he is a member of the Skull and Chain, Blue Key, Shifters, and his name is a familiar one on the Dean’s list. Incidentally, Jim is a transfer student from Cornell University where he was initiated. He is also president of the Interfraternity Council. So, as we look forward to the Spring Formal, we can see a proud past and a promising tomorrow. BETA THETA FI ALPHA GAMMA CHAPTER Ijowell Arthur Troy, Ohio Robert Bell Wheeling.

Brothers Bishop, Bowman, Diley, Hamilton, and Thor are soon joining the ranks of the married men, and gradu- ation brings with it the loss of Ballentine, Diley, May. Barker and Wittig who have all contributed much to the success of Delta Sigma Phi while they have been on this campus. We will also miss the guidance and understand- ing of Dr. G. P. Voigt who is leaving Wittenberg and Delta Sigma Phi; however, we welcome Professors Lewis W. Lewis and Donald Osborne to our Alumni Chapter. Spirited social events were enthusiastically met by the chapter with rush parties starting off the semester cal- endar. A Tri-Greek dance was held at the Cabanas Club with the Lambda Chi’s and Phi Mu’s. The annual Sailor’s Ball held during Homecoming gave the chapter a chance to greet and mingle with the returning alumni. Social activity reached its peak for the semester with the advent of the colorful Christmas Formal held at the gayly deco- rated Moose Temple. Activities have been stressed throughout the year with the resultant renovation of the annual Founder’s Day banquet and the Mothers and Wives Club. Always ag- gressive in intramurals, the Delta Sigs this year won the Bridge cup and the Inter-Fraternity Scholarship Cup and showed much spirit in sports. New furniture and other furnishings are being added to the house, and spring brings the exterior face-lifting which will keep the house looking as bright and clean as the future of Delta Sigma Phi.

LAMBDA CHI ALPHA The second post-war year found the Lambda Chis emerging from tall grass, accumulated debris, and up- holstery bills. The large pledge classes swelled the chap- ter rolls to the largest in its local history—65. The fall term started off with the following officers holding over from the previous year: George Schiller, President; Kenneth Shanks, Vice-President; Rex Monta- gue, Secretary, and Joe Schmalenberger, Treasurer. The usual rounds of smokers and house dances held sway until the Tri-Greek dance late in October. From that time on the men were busy with Homecoming and Var- sity Night which resulted in an excellent showing in both. Mrs. Herb Bonner was crowned queen of the annual White Rose Christmas Formal with Mrs. Robert Ruffing and Miss Josephine Peterson as her attendants. Founders Day in March was an outstanding event in testimony to the rapid progress Nu-Zeta has made since the war. “Duke” Flad, a local alumnus who is now the Administra- tive Secretary in the National Office, was the principal speaker. The year ended in a flourish with the Spring Formal, held at the Country Club. Intra-Murals held the attention of the group through out the year and ended with a league championship in basketball, an unscored-upon football team, and a high standing in most of the other competitions. Individual accomplishments of its members ranged through prac- tically all the honoraries on the campus as well as con- tributing a good share to the college teams, the greatest number being seven lettermen on the varsity football team. Perhaps the most indicative action taken during the year was the compilation of plans and the initiation of a building fund which will make it possible to procure a new house as soon as conditions warrant such construc- tion. To properly accommodate the chapter at present, a new dining room addition and modern appliances and conveniences were added to the present house. Herbert A. Bonner Dolf M. Droge Clifford V.

Two noteworthy achievements were the winning of both the homecoming decoration and Varsity Night tro- phies. The Homecoming decorations were under the supervision of George Haynes and John Hanley. Varsity Nite was again directed by “Coonie” Conrad. The Fiji's also won the intramural badminton and swimming cham- pionships for the second straight year. Among those leaders in extra-curricular activities were: Bob Leffingwell. President of Student Council; Jim Gat- chell. President of Varsity “W”; and Dean Shaffer, Class Editor of the Wittenberger. Others were: John Moeller- ing. News Editor of the Torch; John Kinzel, President of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia; Peter Fowler, Secretary-Treas- urer of Varsity W, and George Haynes, President of Theta Alpha Phi. Led by second award winners Christie Carter and Jim Gatchell, nine brothers participated in varsity football. Five “youngsters” participated in freshman football. Kenny Kent and Don Rankin received their letters for taking the role of varsity managers, while Jim Richards served as manager of the frosh. Eight of the brothers were members of the swimming team and two served as managers. Looking to the future, Phi Gamma Delta has com- pleted plans for a new chapter house. It is hoped that this structure will long be a point of attraction for the college and the community. PHI GAMMA DELTA SIGMA CHAPTER Kenneth C.

PHI KAPPA PSI This year Phi Kappa Psi is celebrating its eighty-second year on Wittenberg Campus and the ninety-sixth year as a national organization. Midterm saw Marion “Ace Hall and Dick Perkins leave via the graduation route. We are proud to claim the distinction of having the only house mother, among fraternity houses, on campus. Mrs. Roxy Moore has done much to add a touch of home to frater- nity life. The Phi Psis can boast of a 73% participation in intra- mural activities. This year we swept softball and football while repeating in golf and ping-pong. Mike Moffo and Jim Taylor were awarded their third letters in football. Taylor was also honored with the “Most Valuable Player Award”, plus gaining All-Ohio and All-Conference hon- ors. Black. Duncan. Kendig, Poppler, and Triacoff served in Shifters. Joe Upton was elected the first president of Pi Sigma Alpha. Ed Doering was Co-Editor of the Torch, while Paul Stroup was president of YMCA. Bill Renz is president of Boost W, while Bud Weisman served as vice- president of Intrafraternity Council. Ed Doering and Paul Stroup gained mention in “Who’s Who Among Stu- dents in American Universities and Colleges.” The social season got under way with a pledge dance followed closely by a Hallowe’en dance and hay ride. The house was decorated like a Christmas fairy land for the Christmas dance. The annual party for the orphans was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The year 1947-4S proved to be one of the most success- ful and eventful years in the history of the fraternity. PHI KAPPA PSI OHIO BETA CHAPTER Richard Burton Elyria, Ohio Daniel O.

Perhaps it is so in the development of the individual, but not so true in a fraternity. From its meager existence of the war years. Phi Mu Delta has emerged larger than it has ever been, at present boasting 64 members. Social affairs were high-lighted by a Tri-Greek Dance at the Cabanas Club, sponsored with the Lambda Chi’s and Delta Sig's. Using the legend of Cinderella as the theme for the Christmas formal, Phi Mu Delta discovered the Cinderella of 1947. With spring came the Founders Day Banquet followed by the spring formal at the Cabanas Club. In other activities—Marty Bender was elected presi- dent of the sophomore class and pledged to the Shifters, and Chuck Furry was elected treasurer of the junior class. Coveted white “W’s” for football were won by Pete Red” Fanning, Bob Brammer, and Bill Heath, who also won his 2nd award as a member of the varsity swim team. Gerry Currens served as vice president of Blue Key. Phil Antilla was elected to the newly organized political science honorary. Chuck Furry, Bob Brammer, Bill Heath, Charles Anderson, and Pete Fanning were invited to join Kappa Phi Kappa. This year the bridge tournament was directed by Jack Head who also held down the job of assistant business manager of the Torch.

The year ’47-’48 was a good year for the Dorm League —the best since its reactivation after the war. Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio In the spring of ’47, the Dorm League presented a group of songs which garnered for the group the highly coveted loving cup for first place at the Inter-Frat Sing. For the second consecutive year, the Dorm League won the League I volleyball trophy, and in other intra- mural competitions Dorm League teams always pushed their opponents to the hilt. Oak Park, Illinois But these are tangible achievements. The greatest point of pride for the Dorm League lies in the part it played in the fall elections. Springfield, Ohio In the spring of ’47, the organization introduced a new election’s code designed to bring underground political Charleroi, Pennsylvania Paul Stager Ada, Ohio combines out into the open where the individual voter could analyze them and their platform. But that wasn’t enough. Seeing that some catalytic force was necessary to implement the new code, the Dorm League formed a third party with the Alpha Delta Pi Sorority. A vigorous campaign was launched by the third party, named the “Representatives”, which forced the other two parties to snap out of their lethargy and put on a spirited campaign of their own. The result was an 82% turn-out of voters, a percentage never before seen on the Wittenberg campus.
