BOOKS GUIDANCE TERMINAL SPORTS SPICE DEDICATION In appreciation of her friendly offices in the promotion of student undertakings, and her un- failing understanding of the student point of view, we, the staff of the 1938 PIONEER, grate- fully dedicate this volume to Miss Beulah Ber- olzheimer. FOREWORD With the publication of this second volume of the PIONEER we hope that the compiling of a Wilson annual will become firmly established as a yearly event. Seeds of the 1939 PIONEER have al- ready been sown. After 1939, the 1940 PIONEER will be the result of a habit, and, thus, a tradition. We hope that you will read, if you are not already familiar with it, THE HUNTING OF THE SNARK. Lewis Carroll’s delight- ful nonsense poem has provided the inspiration for the drawings that grace the division pages. More than that, the tome in many ways is symbolic of the growth of this book. For instance, in the second part, called ‘Fit the First’—the poem is told in fits, rather than verses— there is a line reading, ‘““Then the bowsprit got mixed with the rudder : ” sometimes. Now this is a nautical impossibility except in the poem. How- ever, last March there was a period when the bowsprit of the PIO- NEER certainly was mixed up with its rudder. It took the combined efforts of the staff, sponsors, and a few others to right its course. We are rather fond of it. It is our creation, and a parent is al- ways prejudiced about his child. The PIONEER is a child of many parents and all of them are equally prejudiced. Anyway here it is. We hope you like our child. 2e a | i) : ‘a E ’ i me B WAN))) GUIDANT 4 ih % tae | ( Pay nh as tet DR.

Charlotte Heaton who is secretary of the Physical Science Department arranges for the seating in lecture classes, sees that said seats are occupied, as well as performs a host of other secretarial duties. Marshall Smoller, laboratory assistant in chemistry and physics, does much for the discussion classes, laboratories, and weekly tests. Clarence Beilman arranges apparatus for physical science lectures and has charge of the Physical Science Museum. George Carroll is the Laboratory assistant in Botany. He arranges experiments for Botany students and orders the supplies for all the biology classes. Garrett Hardin, zoology laboratory assistant, aids students in the dissection of animals. His quizzes are noted for their eccentricity. LIBRARY Nucleus of Wilson College Library is that of the old Cook County Normal College. In 1897 that library was taken over by the Chicago Normal Cellege, and in 1934 it also became Wilson’s. At the present time there are over forty-five thousand volumes on the shelves and about two hundred magazines subscribed for. The circulation is constantly increasing, as is the volume, since Wilson spends over $6000 annually for books. Miss Flora Bates has been head librarian since 1918. Miss Johnstone has been first assistant for eleven years. The staff consists of eight regular mem- bers and is assisted by from thirty to forty-five N.Y.A. workers. The reserve book room was opened this last year to accomrnodate the demand for certain books and has proved a_ success in accemplishing its purpose. A specific debt of gratitude is owed the library for its splendid service. tens util Pett gi 0” : i ) RES TTD ENGI ee eee ee Lae, SAMIR een, Sheets dosica ee eee aco ee Joe Harrison NS CBT I PENS TET i Gee gobo Ray ec tAe Scat she Nae een PERO ee ly Re ae Pe Henry Graf SHC) TTR Se RE BERRA tl dl hak een See RT RO ee BOER Re Ruth Zuback SEMIS AS OTe ee ey eo) Re eee Ree Le RE eee. scales James Charlton Committees COMMENCEMENT: PUBLICITY: JEAN BURT, Chairman CLARA HAFER KENNETH RECH ARTHUR SMYTH {RVING MASLOV JEWELRY: EVELYN WITENSKY, Chairman BETTY ALLEN JOHN BAUER SIDNEY BERNSTEIN PROM: MELVIN STEIN, Chairman ALVIN BRANSKY ROZELLE GAYLE ROBERT HUMMEL KENNETH KRUTCH SOCIAL: OLIVER FARDIG, Chairman NATHAN FEUERSTEIN ROVe HE CET.

He also promised, in behalf of the class, to give aid to all the undertakings of the Student Council. Eileen Wolf, Junior vice-president, is General Chairman of Committees. She is assisted by Peggy Williams, class secretary, Gilbert Linetsky, treasurer, the Junior class student council delegates, Howard Allen, Anthony Malinowski, Ed- ward Sternberg, Victor Shintani, Virginia Wieringa, and William Wright, as well as the committee members. Doctor Jesse Schuett is the sponsor of the Junior class. The Junior class leaders started off with a bang by appointing several com- mittees to carry out the class’ future plans. The Outing Committee formulated plans for the picnic held at Du Page County forest preserves on May 15. ‘This group had the task of providing trucks and automobiles to transport the picnicers to the preserve, and to keep them busy with games, boat-rides, and horse-back riding after they arrived. Assisting the Outing Committee at the picnic was the Athletic Competition Committee, who organize baseball teams, and otherwise help with the games. “The duty of the Athletic Competition Committee is to challenge the teams of other classes—and to see to it that their opponents get licked! “The Juniors defeated the Seniors in a baseball game on April 20. A Publicity Committee was also appointed to publi- cize the Junior class’ activities. “They arouse class interest in their enterprises by means of talks to Humanities classes, bulletins, notes in lockers and striking posters. The General Improvements’ duty is to support the Student Council’s plans for improvement of the campus, the building and general school conditions. One of their present interests is to secure a men’s lounge.

As a group, these Sophomores are alert, vivacious people, who grasp each new suggestion for class activities eagerly and enthusiastical ly, and prove the fertility of their imaginations by forming novel plans to make things hum in our college. The Sophomore Commissioners, led by Demetri Spiro, are active members of the Student Council. One of their number, Rosalie Kentopp, is the amanuensis of that governmental body. ‘The most salient undertaking of the class this year is the Wilson Review, which has spread its ramifications into all the other classes. The Review is a musical variety show consisting of musical numbers and tap dances, and novelty acts. This entertainment, which is frankly in emulation of the Mirror, Waa-Mu, Blackfriars, and like shows at other universities, is an attempt to establish a tradi- tion of an annual musical show at Wilson. As Freshies last semester the class invited the whole school to Suzi-Q at the Freshman Foo, a novel dance whose theme was suggested by Bill Holman’s nut factory. “[his semester they had the whole school shagging at the Sophomore Shenanigans. Verna Anderson, Bob Tatarsky, Chris Howard, and Rod DeCamp planned the decorations for the dance; Eleanor Ma rinoff and Helen Traub assured a large attendance through advertisements in the Press and through post- ers; Rosalie Kentopp and Shirley Bass sent invitations to the faculty members and guests of honor. Another committee, headed by Arlene Johnson, who is assisted by Verna Anderson and Bruce Thrasher, has been assigned the unusual project of prepar- ing a class scrap book. The scrap book contains Sophomore pictures and Sophomore gossip. Press stories concerning Sophomores are clipped and pasted in. The completed manuscript will be presented to the editors of next year’s annual. FRESHMEN Row One Akins Kelly Cataldo ; Slakis Papangelis Erdelyan Mark meee Row Three Rhodes Brown Merchant Gasior Z Rose Row Two Mezlay Duncan Donaldson Turnbull Mehlman Hansen FRESHMAN CLASS These are the leaders of the five hundred ninety-four students enrolled in the Freshman Class of February, 1938. At the beginning of the semester, the class selected as their commissioners to the Student Council Lee Andalman, Al Shu- man, Patricia Graves, Sarah Merchant, Alex Spear, Paul Packer, Bob Donaldson, Edward Brown, Angelo Caliendo and Marian Carr. Alex Spear is chairman of the Freshman Commission; Sarah Merchant is the Secretary. Only the first six of the commissions named are permitted to vote in the Student Council. ‘The other four are invited to attend Student Council meetings, so that they may keep pace with the affairs of that gubernatorial body, but they are regarded as guests and non-voters. They all, however, have equal voices in their Freshman Commis- sion meetings. It is notable that their vote was unanimous in passing the following resolution, which aptly expresses their determination to fulfill the office of a co- adjuvant organ of the college: “We, the Freshman Class of 1938, do hereby pledge our cooperation in supporting all activities of the school and conducting ourselves in a manner worthy of students of Woodrow Wilson Junior College.” Specific functions of the school to which they have promised their concerted supporting action are the campaign for a men’s lounge, the Peace Assembly and the Senior Prom. ‘Their pet project is the promotion of a Normal-Wilson dance. They believe that by combining the socialites of the two schools in such an affair, the odd men at Wilson can find dance-mates among Normal’s surplus of women. In this way, partners will be assured for all, and that bane of the social hour, the wall-flower, will be eliminated. One social event planned for the class by their commissioners is a dance to be given on June 3. All Wilsonites will be invited as the guests of the Freshman Class. Another will be a beach party, which will be held toward the end of the semester.

Its Election Committee supervises all college elections. With the faculty its Civic Honor and Recognition Committee selects members of the Honor Society. The Book Exchange, which the Council established in the fall of 1937, is supervised by its Book Exchange Committee. During the past semester the Council sponsored the Wilson Review, a stu- dent musicale, and several college dances. Council members represent the four semester classes and all student organiza- tions, the new system of selecting members being determined by the college in a referendum. With the exception of Alvin Bransky and Evelyn Witensky, who were treasurer and secretary in the fall of 1937, all officers were re-elected. President—Jean Burt Vice-President—Joseph Gasiorek ‘Treasurer—Sidney Bernstein Secretary—Rosalie Kentopp Sponsor—Dean W. L. Kaiser HONOR SOCIETY President—Robert Hummel Secretary- lreasurer—Augusta Gudas Sponsor—Dean W. L. Kaiser Most sought after society is this organization composed of students excelling in scholarship. The purpose of the Honor Society is to bring distinction to the students of the college who have outstanding academic records. “The only quali- fication for membership in the Honor Society is a “B” average of three semesters standing. The Honor Society secured scholarship information from several col- leges and universities. A majority of members of the society participated in the University of Chicago competitive Scholarship examination. Present membership is forty-three, the largest in the college’s history. PIONEER STAFF Row One Row Two Nielsen, F. Rech Scheid Fardig, O. Sprietsma Renno Bulger Graf Nielsen, J. Fardig, S. Witensky Hunter Erdelyan Judd THE PIONEER Wilson’s first year-book, edited in June, 1936, was called the Pioneer be- cause it was expected to blaze the trail for future publications of the same ilk. This year a new Pioneer staff traveled the path marked out by their literary precursors, epitomizing the achievements of Wilson’s 1938 career. The Pioneer of 1938 is indebted to its faculty sponsors for their advice and encouragement. Mr. Thomas and Mr. Peterson were grave counsellors of the business departments; Mr. Madden was best friend and severest critic of the art and general make-up department; and Mr. Baumgardner was stern censor of the literary department. Editor-in-Chief Evelyn Witensky earned her reputation as the busiest little lady in Wilson as she bustled about, supervising the work of every department, aiding in the selection of printer, engraver, and photographer, and overseeing every other function of the Pioneer, from the biggest projects to the most infinitesimal details. Her aide was Associate Editor Faye Nielsen. Lewis Sprietsma was the harassed head of the literary department. Huis duty it was to superintend the output of all the embryo journalists on the writing staff. Lew’s subordinates, Carmela Stolfi, Henry Graf, Arthur Hunter and Wal- ter Sheldon, recorded the year’s activities in each of the clubs; Louise Miner and Marjorie Craft wrote up women’s sports; and Ed Renno and Bill Bulger teamed up to report on men’s athletics. Orchids are due to Marshall Peterson for the “‘swele- gant” feature section. Irene ‘Tibbits checked and double-checked each graduate picture and activity list to certify that petite Clara Hafer was not given credit for playing center on the football team, and to avert a tragedy such as might ensue if, for instance, Adele Zaw’s photograph were labeled with Patrick Nugent’s name. Art Editor Joyce Nielsen and her assistants Carrie Erdelyan and Marjorie Judd arranged photographs, designed feature pages and the cover, and executed the division page sketches. Kenneth Rech, Advertising Manager, swelled the treasury by soliciting adver- tisements from business men who cater to Wilson students. His right hand man was Joseph Harrison, whose right hand man was Arthur Smyth. Oliver Fardig, General Business Manager, drew up contracts with printer, photographer, and engraver. He bridged the gap between the photographer and the photographed, by making appointments for the latter with the former, and spent full days as the photographer’s co-agent, when group pictures were being taken. Since all this work would be in vain without a reading public, laurels must be presented to Phil Scheid, Circulation Manager, and his stooges, Lillie Wil- liams and Sheldon Fardig. These toilers publicized the annual, found subscribers, and, most important of all from the mercantilist viewpoint, collected shekels for the books ordered. “The money they gave to Dorothy Zellers, ‘Treasurer, who balanced the books and maintained a careful guard against a surplus or deficit of funds.

As the first extra-curricular organization to be established, the initial issue of the paper was published October 11, 1934, under the editorship of Hilmer Stark and sponsorship of Miss Helena Gavin. Today, with eight semesters of history behind it, the Press is one of the vital factors in college activities. Not only does publication occur weekly, but fre- quent special issues are produced. Each semester an eight-page issue featuring the master program is published; in May ’35 copies of a special issue were sent to all high schools to acquaint them with Wilson’s activities; and in May of this year the staff dedicated an enlarged publication to peace. Called the Inter- national Affairs Issue, it celebrated National Peace Week. After a comprehensive campaign for material, many articles written by prominent figures appeared in this issue, thereby making it one of the outstanding issues in the history of the Wilson Press.

The feature of the club’s activities was a trip through the Cook County Hos- pital, where they visited the morgue, the operating rooms and the different wards. A special study was made of the operating rooms and all of the surgical instru- ments. Medical students have addressed the club members at some of their meetings, and noted professors have given talks on the culture of medicine. BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE CLUB Perhaps the most active club at Wilson is the Biological Science Club. ‘The club’s sponsor, Mr. Howe, is supported by an enthusiastic group of officers who are Arthur Hunter, president; Harry Stern, vice-president; Helen Lach, secre- tary; and Pat Graves, treasurer. Field trips are the highlights of spring activity. This year one of the most interesting trips was to the Psychological Museum at Lewis Institute where Dr. David Boder lectured on the applications of psychology and performed experiments on several of the group. Brookfield Zoo and fresh water life were studied on two other trips. However, home activities are not subordinated and movies, student discussions, and guest lecturers make varied and, informative meetings. One of the most interesting lectures of the semester was Sergeant Meyers of the Narcotic Bureau who talked on the kinds and effects of the most widely known narcotics.

It is affiliated with other student Y’s and with the Metropolitan Y.W.C.A. of Chicago. The purpose of the Y is to provide social and philanthropic activities for women at Wilson. The organization of the club is lead by the cabinet which is composed of the officers, and the chairmen of the committees. Any Y member is free to work on any committee. Through this cooperation the club has mounted to its present height. This semester the club has successfully completed more activities than in any previous semester. One of the biggest events of the year was the school-wide Barn Dance, which was attended by one of the largest crowds ever to attend a school social. [There was a special caller imported for the occasion and everyone who participated enjoyed doing the square dance. A cowboy, as guest, sang two songs of the range, the Wilsonites chimed in with community singing of a few popular tunes. The music changed to popular tunes and ballroom dancing ensued. Two of the largest parties to be held this year were a Christmas party for the kindergarten of Parker Practice, and an Easter party at the Haven, a Protestant Home for children. Some of the activities for girls only include such events as a style show, in which Wilson girls modelled their own clothes, a trip to Chinatown by the mem- bers, teas, Rose sale, Fudge sale, and talks by members on subjects such as Vocation, Dress, and Personality. All these activities were made possible due to the efforts of Dr. Gafford, club sponsor, and the cabinet members which include: President—Margaret Alt Vice-President—Betty Balch Hospitality—Mary Lou Carlson Finance—Vernida Rodriguez Art—Marion Lipsis Publicity—Bernice Hamman Social Service—Ellen Holmboe Inter-Scholastic—Dorothy Hines and Muriel Thomson Secretary—Rosalie Kentopp Treasurer—Ethel Epstein ARTS CLUB Row One Row Two - Nielsen, F. .

Certain meetings were set aside for this purpose in order that the members could ask questions about the Fine Arts which had been puzzling them. ‘Those who understood the fundamentals of Fine Arts have joined to increase their experiences and knowledge by visiting galleries and exhibits. A social urge, inevitable when a group have the same interests, naturally gives rise to hikes to various places which afford the members excellent opportunities for sketching, painting, modeling, and photo- graphing desired subjects. The Chicago Art Institute and our own Wilson Campus have done much toward contributing subjects for the club. Club pins were discussed and it was decided that the members would make their own pins out of plastic wood. During the remainder of the semester the members made up several designs, one of which will be used for the pin next semester. HUMANITIES CLUB For many years one of the leading student organizations at Wilson has been the Humanities Club. It is liked particularly for its informative programs which augment the Humanities Survey Course. These programs are usually student presentations. The club sponsors trips to theaters, the Art Institute, and the Oriental Institute. Several times during the semester it presents musical programs and reviews of such subjects as Greek drama which are of unestimable value to one taking the final examinations. The sponsors of the club are Miss Dorothy Weil and Dr. Lucille Gafford who are assisted by the club’s officers, as listed: President—John S.

The central idea of the club is for students interested in this field, and to advise them as to what subjects to take should they desire to major in the field of Social Science. The program of the club is based on the three main fields of Social Science, Government, Economics, and Sociology. The only field not taken up is that of International Relations, for the reason that Wilson has a special club for that field. The first formal program was held April 12, with Dr. Moore, noted political scientist and secretary of the International City Manager Association Commission, as the guest speaker. He had as his topic ‘““A Career For You”, in which he discussed the vocational opportunities in the field of the Social Sc.ences. The informal programs are conducted by the students with topics and discussions by them in their individual field of interest. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB Wars in Spain and China, a new United States foreign policy, and the aggressive attitudes of several European nations provide a fertile field for dis- cussion on an already intriguing subject, International Politics. Club meetings are marked by lively discussion on these and many other up- to-date topics. Programs are presented by informed students and guest lecturers. Peace Week at Wilson was climaxed by a peace issue of the college paper and by the presentation by the International Relations Club of a Peace Assembly at which the noted clergyman and teacher, Dr. Paul A. Schlipp of Northwestern University spoke on “Modern Youth— World-Builder or Cannon Fodder.” Last semester the well-known Norman Thomas was presented by the Club at a peace assembly. This organization has succeeded in giving its members a disin- terested and full view of current world affairs. Joseph Gasiorek is the club president, Robert Hummel, vice-president, Henry Graf, secretary, and Joseph Hochstadter, treasurer. Mr. C. W. Peterson is the sponsor.

Its members are selected on a basis of work done in the Biological and Physical sciences by faculty members in those departments. The society’s aims include coordination of the two science departments, simplification of scientific language and the promotion of an advanced understanding of scientific processes and phenomena. Members act as volunteer guide lecturers in the Physical Science Museum. They arrange and conduct trips to various industrial plants and museums. Their plans for the future include the publication of a scientific newspaper and the es- tablishment of a Biological Science Museum. President—Frank C.

Ernest, have steered their organization successfully through this year. They stimulated the student body’s interest in physical science by inviting guest lecturers to Wilson and by conducting field trips. The most outstanding guest lecturer of this year was Mr. John Anderson, from the Wilkins Chemical Company, who gave Wilson’s future physical scientists advice about getting jobs. ‘Thirty students at- tended a field trip to the Grasselli Chemical Company in East Chicago, Indiana, to see how chemical products are prepared for the market. The year’s crowning social achievement was the Physical Science party, at which laboratory equipment was used as table-ware. Coffee was siphoned from liter bottles into beakers, and cookies and doughnuts were served in petri dishes.

Club. It was organized for the purpose of the informal discussion ot problems, equations, and formulas that are not included in the regular class work. Lectures also are included in the programs. This semester Norman Stein, a former president of the club, spoke on the subject “An Exact Solution of Cubic and Quadratic Equations”. At another meeting Dr. Luise Lange, sponsor of the club, began a detailed mathematical discussion of planetary motion. ‘This started the club members on a search for a mathematical formula which would show the time of planetary retrogression. Just before the University of Chicago competitive examinations a whole meeting was devoted to a review of the mathematic sections of previous examinations in order to help the students prepare more adequately for the ordeal. CAMERA CLUB Baby of the school’s organizatons for 1937-38 was the Camera Club. Its rise is correlative with the wave of camera enthusiasm which has taken the country by storm. But at Wilson it is significant for it represents the timeliness of the Wood- row Wilson extra curricular activities as prompted by public interests. The club’s existence and perpetuation have been greatly dependent upon the efforts and inspiration of Myron Ronne, President, who inaugurated the idea and solicited the support of the club single handed. Aided by Marjory ‘Tapper, Secretary of the club, Art Appell, Murray Mehlman, and Joe Demb, Exhibition Committeemen, Dr. Jesse Schuett, Faculty Sponsor, Mr. Ronne has developed a program attractive to everyone who can take a snapshot. The program included a hike to the sand dunes and several subsequent hikes radiating from the metro- politan area of Chicago. Foremost among the proposed club activities is that of a school-sponsored dark room, closer school sponsorship of school shots for the Press and Annual, and a competitive photography contest with awards. One thing is definite. The club is destined to live and expand as one of the outstanding organizations of the school, as a_ representative club of Wilson—a pioneer.

The members are those students who have found that a foreign language opens an entirely new field; gives new insight and appreciation to their conception of another nation and its people. Each semester new students learn to love the poetry and simple melodies of Deutscher Lieder, which are a leading attraction at weekly meetings. Each semester's activities in the club are climaxed by a ‘Kaffee Klatsch”, held usually in’ May and December, to which the faculty and all interested students are in- vited. ‘These semi-annual parties are truly Wilson tradition. The entire college anticipates the ‘““Weinachts Kaffee Klatsch’? when German songs and carols echo throughout the corridors, and ‘“‘apfelkuchen und kaffee” promote friendship and good cheer. It has been the good fortune of the Deutscher Bund to. entertain some of the finest singers among Wilson’s student body and alumni, who have rendered the songs of Handel, Bach and other German composers. Last year before Christmas, Der Deutscher Bund and Le Cercle Francais gathered together at the landing on the first floor and caroled forth alternately in German and French. Last semester Leon Smith served faithfully as president of the club. He was supported by Arthur Hunter as vice-president, Doris Roessler as secretary and Robert Cruise as treasurer. These offices are filled this semester by Joyce Niel- sen, Melba Bedford, Marie Pazak and Dorothy McGrath. ‘The Social Commit- tee in charge of the Kaffee-klatsch is headed by Melba Bedford, Joseph Kubal and Betty Haserodt.

The fol- lowing year the squad, under the coaching of Mr. C. W. Peterson set to work to build up a strong team. Nineteen hundred and thirty-eight’s topic was, Re- solved: That the Several States Adopt a Unicameral System of Legislatures. A number of students joined the Debating Club and engaged in practice debates with Joliet, Wheaton, Thornton, Morton and other colleges. After the tryouts the teams were manned by Sidney Bernstein and Henry Graf with Marshall Dubin as alternate. The negative team consisted of Josepn Gasiorek and Robert Hummel with Anthony Malinowski as alternate. The final contest was held in the latter part of March at Northwestern Uni- versity. By the League rules, any team losing three debates in the preliminaries was to be eliminated. Only Wilson and Joliet remained to compete for the final honors, both having won seven and lost one debate. Wilson lost the final debate to Joliet by a two to one decision by the judges and so placed second. FRENCH CLUB Le Cercle Francais aims to give students interested in French a_ broader background in the language, customs, and culture of France. ‘The officers arrange meetings in which the formality of the classroom is abandoned and_ the pupils have contact with the French language in a way that is entertaining as well as profitable. Plays by prominent dramatists are enacted, or musically inclined members play works of the French composers. Folk songs of France are often sung at the meetings and French games are played. Each semester the club collaborates with the other two city colleges in the publication of the French Journal, Le Tri-College. Another of the club’s projects is an “open house” reception for French clubs of south side high schools. It is hoped that the members will find that the experience in the club aids in their fluency in speaking and understanding the French language.

Augmenting the regular Engineering classes the pur- pose of the club is to study the problems that its members, as future engineers, will have to face. These problems are uppermost in the minds of the officers and faculty sponsor Herman Roller as they plan their regular meetings and trips. By conducting field trips the club gives its members contacts with the many specialized fields, and opportunities for further exploration into diverse branches of engineering. Among such field trips during the past semester have been ex- cursions through the Goodman Manufacturing Company and the Jackson Park Crib. On a tour through the Crane Company, the members learned how plumbing fixtures are manufactured; and the International Harvester Company demonstrated modern methods of manufacturing farm implements. Annually the club visits the Carnegie Steel Company Mills. Their knowledge of engineering permits the members of the club to under- stand and appreciate the films sometimes shown at their meetings, which because of their technical nature, the ordinary layman is incapable of comprehending. Often these engineers-in-the-making hear recognized authorities of the engineering world present the problems ef current projects.

Under the direction of Miss Esther Goetz it has progressed with rapid strides. Not only has the group full symphonic orchestrations of over forty pieces, but it affords all its members a practical orchestral experience and enables them to continue their work in professional groups after graduation. The music the orchestra plays is of the highest caliber. Symphonies as well as the better known compositions of the great masters—Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, Mozart, and Brahms—are contained in its repertoire. During the semester the orchestra has a definite program which it follows faithfully. That is, it takes part in the assemblies and gives at least one concert. It also plays at the commencement exercises. This semester the music classes, the fine arts classes and the orchestra are combining to present the musical production “Music Through the Ages.” THE BAND At the demand of Wilson Junior College the band was organized and is now run and directed by the students themselves. The band has been instrumental in the promoting of school spirit at Wilson, and the college feels that the present group is a nucleus from which a larger and more flourishing organization will mature in the future. The band offers fine opportunity for those people who are interested in furthering their study in music after graduation. This semester many new instruments were purchased that could not be owned by individual students. Thus, the quality of the music played by the band_ has enhanced. Special recognition should be given to Sheldon Fardig and James Brennen who have contributed much to the progress of this organization. CHORUS and MUSIC CLUB In the spring when Wilson begins rehearsing for its annual musicale, the chorus and music club pitch in with unequaled enthusiasm to learn their music scores and produce good-as-professional operas or pageants. This year “Music Thru the Ages” was presented by the Music and Fine Arts department assisted by dancers from the athletic department, and nearly all of the cast of 200 characters were drawn from the chorus and music club. The production was in three acts, Act I—Long Ago, Act I1—Romantic Music, and Act I1]—America. Act I contained a scene dealing solely with Greece 200 B.C., another scene dealing with England 1700 B.C., anda third scene presented numerous folk songs. The nine Greek Muses, daughters of Zeus, were a highlight of the first act. Act II, Scene I consisted of a scene from “Il Trovatore,” with Leonora and Manrico; Scene II was a ballet dance, and Scene III presented scenes 2 and 3 from ““Tannhauser.” Act III also contained three scenes. The first, with Deep River, and Bye and Bye, presented many songs and spirituals of the South Before the Civil War. Scene II entertained the audience with Jazz, ot Today, with a twelve piece jazz band, novelty numbers of tap and eccentric dancing, and “I Got Plenty of Nothing” from ‘Porgy and Bess’. Scene III was the Finale. It presented two songs from the light opera “Naughty Marietta.” Aside from the spring musicale the music club has its popular meetings every other week with original student programs. Once every semester there is a music assembly featuring the orchestra, the band, and talented individuals. ALUMNI Even before their graduation the June Class of 1936 had become interested in the problem of how to keep Wilson alumni from losing contact with each other. So, a few weeks before graduation the class met to form a permanent organization, the Wilson Junior College Alumni Association, with Joseph Andalman, as temporary president. The following winter about 200 alumni trudged through snow and icy streets to Tuley Park where the first regular meeting of the Association was held. At that meeting, plans for the future were laid with one chief purpose; to keep the lumni Association a social group, one in which old friendships would be maintained, and new ones made. Also at this meeting the first permanent set of officers was elected ; with Lewis Pokras, President; Alice Lurie, Vice President; Martin Zimring, Treasurer; Gertrude Kellogg, Secretary; and Charles Paden, Sergeant-at-Arms. The next meeting, welcoming members of the February and June °37 classes was held the following summer, in the Reynolds Club, University of Chicago. Further meetings, two each year, were set for the first Monday in February, and the first Monday following graduation in June. Last summer brought with it a picnic, held at Green Lake in the forest preserves Southeast of Chicago. In November the first Alumni Dance was held at the Hotel Sherman, Louis XIV Room. The first regular meeting of 1938 saw the election of new officers; Charles Paden, President; Walter Sweigart, Vice President ; Martin Zimring, Treasurer; Ann Mari Jonsson, Secretary; and Roley Bovik, Sergeant-at- Arms. At the ends of March April, and May Theatre Parties were held at the Great Northern Theatre. All June 1938 graduates, as well as future classes, are invited to join the Asso- ciation—just for fun! For this graduating class the alumni group announces it will meet the first Monday after graduation.

The efficiency and organization of the Men’s Intramurals has been made possible by the combined efforts of Coaches Smid! and Stockdale with the help of the Lettermen’s Club, and individually by the efforts of Jim Charlton, Basketball Manager; of “Smiling” Jack Hurney in the Soft-ball Division; of Felix Gielicz for his management of Badminton; of Vince Klockzein for picking his winners in Table Tennis; of Roy “Pickles” always Al Weinberg with his “‘assistants” for their work at the Intramural Track Meet. Heinz for his tact with the matmen; and last as With a future set for a widening Intramural Schedule it is appropriate for all Wilsonites to voice their appreciation to those who have fostered it. ‘The Intramural Program should be recognized as one of the most potential factors which the faculty and students may wield toward developing all-round school spirit. It provides an opportunity to all to establish friendships, to develop an interest in Wilson Junior College by investing one’s interests in it, to create direct contacts with the school which will ultimately result in school tradition which is the goal of all true Wilsonites. wiL Soy WitSoy -VILSOYWiLSDW = qusor wILSO) = -MILSQy BASEBALL Row One Row Two Behrendt Coach Stockdale Quinn Glaser McHugh Gielicz Leach Keane ‘ : .

Wilson met Herzl in the second game and triumphed 5-3 with Frank as the winning pitcher. On April 20 Wilson met Wright for the City Championship and went down with an 11-2 defeat. The team, though inexperienced, seems promising. With Frank and Gielicz taking the pitching assignments the battery problem appears solved. ‘The team 1s lead by Jack Hurney, captain and shortstop. ‘Red’ Quinn is backing up the plate and maintaining a good average in the box also. McHugh seems to be the bat- ting star. Washington covers second, Leach is at third, Kraft, Sirwinski; Newby, Jensen, and Behrendt alternate in the outfield. Bob Schatzmen is the team’s veteran all-round man. BASKETBALL The cage squad experienced a very successful season with n’ne victories and three defeats. Herb Ball was the star of the team until his graduation in Feb- ruary when “Manny” Salazar took over. Herb scored 109 points in eight games and Salazar 107 in twelve. The “Scarlet Raiders” had a well balanced team with plenty of height and speed. Captain Herb Ball, Salazar and Charlton supplied the scoring punch. These three, with Jordan and Kaplan accounted for the height. Fred Byrd furnished the speed, and Coach Smidl’s teaching of ball-handling and play-making made the team a very deceptive outfit. Wilson was not as successful in tournament competition. She lost to La- Grange, 45-34, in the State Junior College Tournament at Joliet, and dropped the first round game in the A.A.U. Tournament to St. Elizabeth, 28-19.

All hopes for a successful season, however, were soon shattered. Jack Cormann, expected to be the star, received a shoulder injury in the game with Illinois State Normal. At times during the season Keane, Ball, Kellogg, Cum- mings, Harris and Captain Nickels were out with injuries. These injuries weakened Wilson’s squad and in part can be blamed for its poor showing. How- ever, in fairness to Wilson’s opponents, it must be said that the scarlet squad was out-classed in most games, but it must also be said that the Wilson boys went down fighting. Highlights of the season were the Morton and North Park games. The Morton game was a defensive one from start to finish and Wilson was winner mainly because of its stronger line play. In the North Park game, Wilson’s op- ponents emerged with a one point victory. Jerry Wehrmeister and Herb Ball starred for the Raiders, Jerry doing most of the ball carrying and Herb scoring the touchdown. In Ball, Keane, and Turkowski, Wilson had plenty of strength at the flanks. Reams was outstanding at tackle, Rosner was a good man at guard, and Kellogg and Glime performed nobly at center. “The backfield was paced by Jerry Wehr- meister with Captain Bill Nickels, Roy Wetherbee and Porter Myrick offering valuable assistance.

The fall season is the important part of their schedule, while the spring season is composed of minor meets and finally the State Tournament for individual and team superiority. Last fall the team consisted of ‘Nap” Chinick, Captain and Manager, Dick Sherr, number two man, Howard Grossman, and Art Joswick. In compe- tition with Wright, LaGrange, Morton, and Joliet, Wilson closed the fall term with three wins and two losses. The team is entirely altered this spring with the exception of “Nap” Chinick, who returns to manage the team again, and compete as Wilson’s number-one man. Fred Waltz, Lou Hanavan, and Lee Andalman comprise the remainder of the team. On April 25 the team traveled to Charleston for their first spring competi- tion. Arrangements are being made to promote for a City College Championship Tournament, but plans have not fully materialized as yet. The State Junior College Championship is scheduled for May 14, and will conclude the season. TENNIS Barden, Bowen, Gross, Robbins and Fitz, the finalists in the men’s tennis tournament, were to represent Wilson in the tennis activities of the season. Veteran Fitz and his four team mates, who all made names for themselves in high school competition, were not dismayed by the stiff tournament play which con- fronted them. The schedule as arranged at this date included North Park on April 25; Morton at Wilson, April 30; a tentative meet at Joliet, May 3; Wright vs. Wilson, May 5; and LaGrange at Wilson, May 10. May 14 was the out- standing date of the tennis season, for then the Individual Conference Singles and Doubles Tournament began and all Conference men met unattached players to vie for individual superiority as Illinois Junior College Champions. Coach Smidl intends to taper off the season with several Invitational tournaments against Normal College and Lisle Junior College. These as yet have not been definitely arranged, TRACK Row One Kimmel Rogers Brown i Devitte Heinz Broadus Row Three Smidl Jahnson Skinner Griffin Mezlay Jamnik Snekutis he Cummings Row Two Garner Weinberg Klemm Reams Bulger Henry Myrick Murphy Turner Barder Stewart Nagodo Vare TRACK Wilson’s Track Team has for the third consecutive year won the State Junior College Championship. Coach Smidl, though anxious over several field events, hopes to maintain this standard, and with such men as Griffin and Johnson, returning sprinters; Reams, veteran shot-putter ; and Brodus, assisted by Bob Nagoda, a first semester man, the outlook is very good. Barder, also a first se- mester man, is unchallenged in the half mile run, and Barney Jamnick holds the same distinction for the hurdles. Rogers and Arius look good in the mile while the high jumpers and field event men are still scrapping it out for positions with the exception of “Bud” Henry, lone pole-vaulter. The season is scheduled to open April 27 at LaGrange in a dual meet. Following this Wilson will meet in a triangle with Morton and North Park on May 7. Negotiations for a meet with Armour and Loyola have not been com- pleted, so May 11th is an open date in the schedule. On May 18, Wilson will tangle with Wright, our recognized grudge foe. SWIMMING Wilson’s aquatic aggregation had reason to be proud of itself in its showing this year. ‘The team started the season as a rather loosely knit and raw outfit, but, with experience and hard practice, the boys developed into one of the best teams that Wilson has produced. They finished the season with three victories, three defeats, and two seconds in group meets. Their victories were registered over Wheaton, a four year school, Herzl, and Morton. Wilson also managed to come in second in the City Meet, nosed out by Wright, and second in the State Meet, again nosed out by Wright.

BADMINTON Moriarity Hines Zalac Reynolds Stockerl Souder ARCHERY Zaw Lipsis tinckley Latham Hladilek Shorten Wright Ogden BADMINTON Badminton comes under the head of Minor Sports and, although it has no special manager on the Council, the game is rapidly becoming one of the most popular offered by the Physical Education Department. This game, quite similar to tennis, requires great skill, precise muscular co- ordination, sureness of movement, and fleetness of foot. The keynote, as in photography, is ‘watch the birdie’ and the unpredictable flights of this erratic bird make the game fascinating as well as incredibly swift. The ever increasing popularity of this sport is shown by the constantly growing number of girls who turn out each semester for the team try-outs which are arranged on an elimination basis. The all-star team is composed of six players —four regulars and two substitutes. Up to now not much has been planned for the team but arrangements to “do something about it” are under Way. ARCHERY Archery is one of the best liked of the established sports at Wilson, perhaps because it requires fine technical skill, a steady arm, a trained wrist, and an ac- curate eye. Even such detailed things as posture, the position of the feet, the lift of the shoulders, or the wink of the left eye play an important part in determin- ing the flight of the arrow. At least once a year tryouts are held for the purpose of picking an archery team. A goodly number of would-be Robin Hoods always turn out for these and many of them display a skill of which Cupid himself might well be envious. Of course, the team that is finally chosen is the “cream of the crop.” At present there are plans for a telephonic meet with Wright Junior Col- lege under way to determine the City College champions.

To win a pin a girl must actively engage in many sports and be proficient enough in two of them to win a manager’s recommendation bringing her to the attention of the W.A.C. Council. Then, if she is not a fresh- man (in which case she can receive no more than an honorable mention), has at least a “C” average, and receives the unanimous vote of the Council, she is in- formed that she will be one of the award winners. The presentation of the pin occurs at the W.A.C. Assembly which each year becomes more interesting. The achieving of this award also makes a girl eligible to attend the W.A.C. banquet held at the end of each semester. WOMEN’S ATHLETIC COUNCIL Women’s Athletics at Wilson Junior College are managed by the Women’s Athletic Council, familiarly known as the W.A.C. This body is under the sponsor- ship of Miss Augusta A. Swawite, head of the Physical Education Department and is composed of three officers and nine sports’ managers with their assistants. The officers of the current year—Dorothy Anderson, President; Augusta Gudas, Vice- President; and Meredith Reynolds, Secretary-Treasurer—have done a splendid job with the whole-hearted cooperation of the sports’ managers. “These managers are: Dot Hines, major sports; Helen Dudley, minor sports; Audrey Wright, archery ; Marge Craft, bowling; LaVelle Graber, hiking; Louise Miner, golf; Helen Gor- deychuk, swimming; Marge Koppel, table tennis; and Rosanne Stockerl, tennis. The W.A.C., striving to interest all women in sport activities, arranges inter- collegiate competition, selects all-star teams, and plans school-wide parties in addi- tion to play days with the other Junior Colleges, and last, but not least, chooses the W.A.C. pin winners.

Here they may learn the fundamental rhythm movements, the steps on which dancing of all types is based. By the time a girl enters college she cer- tainly believes that she knows how to walk, run, hop, or navigate in almost any fashion, but after just one period in this class she isn’t quite so sure. The mirror- lined room which shows up every defect—student stoop, Grecian bend, or debutante slouch, also assists in the correction of these posture faults. Then, after mastering individual imperfections in the way of posture, the girls are ready to learn to walk! From plain walking the girls gradually work up into glides and leaps of the more strenuous variety. “Then, since this course is a dance survey course, the class finally takes up fold, interpretive, and even some creative dancing. TAP DANCING Heel and toe, buck and wing, tap just so, get in the swing! Difficult, yet fun, that is the decision on tap dancing. At least a group of Wilson enthusiasts have found it so under the tutelage of Miss M. Estelle Angier. There are three tap classes; beginning, intermediate, and advanced, into which the girls are placed according to previous experience and present ability. The first intricate time routine that each girl learns gives her a basis for all tap steps and turns some of the most bungling beginners into tricky tapsters. One who dances through all three of these classes is well on her way to becoming one of the famous Rockettes. In fact, the fancy chorines contributed in a large measure to the success of the 1938 Music Pageant by demonstrating the evolution of modern jazz from the music of the ages. Koppel GIRLS’ SWIMMING Row One Row Two Bell Upp Larson Derry Gordeychuk Welchta Anderson Miss Angier Bert Shull Wood Wilder Hladilek Pulliam Gilbert Zaw FENCING Gordeychuk FENCING Although fencing was not included in the gym classes in the past semester, the gentle art of self-defense is quite a vogue at Wilson. Indeed, even though there was no class where practice would be compulsory, many of our fair co-eds were often seen “feinting” in the halls. Lunges, parrys, thrusts, retreats—these words may be Greek to the ordinary Wilsonite but they send these girls into action quicker than the slap of a glove. Some of the fencers have publicly demonstrated their ability at the Friday socials and the interest aroused insures the installation of the sport in the athletic curriculum. And truly this sport deserves the en- thusiasm it receives for its insistence on muscular co-ordination, precision, and mental concentration benefits each girl in many ways. Its training enables her to “foil” her foes and also to put across a point in the very best manner. SWIMMING The swimming at Wilson Junior College is under the sponsorship of Miss Estelle Angier. This year, in addition to the regular beginning and advanced swimming classes a course in life-saving has been offered which has attracted many of our aquatic enthusiasts. An innovation in the form of a free swim period at 2:30 each Friday was introduced for the first time during the last semester and it has permitted all girls to practice that which they learned in other classes, to try out new tricks, or just to splash around to their heart’s content. Early in the semester, under the leadership of the swimming manager, Helen Gordeychuk, a splash party was given which drew a gratifying number of expert splashers to the pool. Water polo and other games were played and the “get- together” was brought to a very successful and tasty conclusion with the serving of refreshments.
