1949 THE KALDRON 1949 Caldron (kal-drun), n. A large boiler or mixing-pot, used for mixing or combining quantities of ingredients.—Webster. Kaldron (cal-drun), n. The Yearbook of Allegheny College, used for displaying and describing INTR O D U C T I O N a year's accomplishments and endeavors of the student body.—Kaldron Staff. If you are an average College Annual Reader, you have probably already leafed through this, your 1949 Kaldron, to hurriedly find your own photograph and those of your friends and to pass judgment thereon, and are only now getting around to seeing what is contained in the non-pictorial part of the book. This is especially true of the Senior; it is his (or her) book, primarily, and he wants first of all to see how he is being presented to his departing classmates and to Allegheny’s posterity. Having thus scanned and read the book, he will put it into a secure place, along with bags and trunks and tennis racquets and dance-programs, to be taken home and tucked away, where it can be pulled out years from now and used either as a reference or as a nostalgic adventure in recalling something pleasant and long past. In leafing through, you have perhaps noticed that this year's Kaldron follows a definite and deliberate plan, a mode of presentation, calculated to draw the diverse element of our kind of College life into a coherent and concrete form and to present it to you in such a way as to make you think of the ways in which you were a part of it. You have probably also noticed that such a plan has limitations. For it is not an original idea, to be sure; many Yearbooks have followed the same theme, with variations, over and over again. A plan such as this, which lends itself so readily to solving the problems which plague an editor or a photographer or writer, is bound to have been tried before and to be tried again. Nor is it an adequate idea: one of the first criticisms you will level at your Kaldron is that it doesn't include everything that it could or should, or that it does include some things which you think unimportant. Why, then, do we publish a “Yearbook” whose plan of attack is, at the outset, admittedly unoriginal and inadequate? The answer lies with you. There will be as many different answers as there are readers. And if the Kaldron can reach out to every one of its readers and find in each of them a response, whether it be good or bad, considered or ill-considered, it will have served a purpose. It is something which was written by Alleghenians for Alleghenians, to put here only suggestions; it is in how you take these suggestions, in the form of words and pictures and figures, and associate them with what College has meant and is meaning to you that we are interested. If you can do that, the Kaldron will be unoriginal, certainly, but wholly worth-while and therefore desirable. As for adequacy, there are things that have been left out, not only because of space limitations, (a chronicle of all the ingredients which are in our Allegheny Kaldron would fill a hundred books of this size) but because some of the ingredients would inevitably appeal only to a limited audience; above all, this must be a book of unlimited appeal. The day on which one of you saw a complicated but basic chemical reaction resolve itself in a test-tube down in Carnegie, while it is just as precious as anything you may have experienced here, will have to be put aside for a picture of the Bentley Tower, whose influence all of us have felt. That old volume you found in the Library, containing a passage that suddenly gave a new slant to your thinking, must become a part of something much bigger which you may find in these pages. We have a picture of the Singers, but not of a certain chord that sent a thrill through you; there is the football team, but nothing of the wildness with which you greeted the first touchdown, you will find every faculty-member's photograph, but you will not find printed the remark that he made one day that filled you with encouragement and determination and interest. There is a whole section devoted to a peremptory listing of the Seniors, but not one of them can supply the wording to show us how he felt during the hard-sought moment between stepping up to receive his diploma and stepping down with it in his hand. Yes, we have certainly left a lot out of our Kaldron! So you see why we say that this is your book; why it is Allegheny; why it will be, just like your stay in college, as original and adequate as you choose to make it. Look through it again and again—there are only suggestions here ! Supply your own ingredients! Take the view of Bentley Hall and expand it to include the Rustic Bridge, if you like, or the Infirmary, or the Alumni Gardens on a Spring day which you remember. Ask yourself if your college education has given you the solidity of its foundation, the dignity of its pillars, or the aspirations symbolized by its tower which, even though it is an Ivory Tower, nevertheless points only upward, and is a spot of light when everything around it is dark. Make the winter scenes mementoes of a snowball fight, op a reminder of a hundred and one trips downtown through slush and cold to do a hundred and one errands. Make your view of Brooks Hall include 5 A.M. fire-drills, or the Red-and-White, scene of the Wednesday-morning-ten-o’clock-coffee- club meetings, or a very special serenade in the wee hours, or the place in which you enjoyed so many dances and waited for "her" to come downstairs. Look everything over, and decide what kind of ingredient you have been, or will be, and you will have a valuable book indeed. The possibilities are limitless; and if you have chosen your ingredients wisely, and have mixed them in the proper proportion, you will have a resultant product to be taken with you and kept, not in a nook in the attic, but in your retrospections, as a priceless ingredient and guide for your future. DEDICATION

To Miss Laila Skinner, Dean of Women and Associate Professor of Psychology in our College from 1936 to 1949, we are proud and pleased to dedicate our '49 Kaldron. The choice was a happy one in many ways: few people would fit so nicely in.o the scheme of our book, with her contributions to what we so blithely call a “mixture” ; in few personalities do we find a combination of attributes which fitted her so well for a position demanding versatility, determination and, at times, courage. A brief biography is standard form for a dedication, and so it is with ours; but Miss Skinner’s Allegheny biography is all that would be necessary to point out her qualifications as the choice for the Kaldron's eulogy—all during her stay here it was as if Allegheny College was the only place to which she had ever been devoted, and it is hard to think that she is now gone, or was ever anywhere else. The Allegheny College Bulletin presents an extremely impressive list of Miss Skinner’s degrees, positions, and achievements, from her “A.B., MacMurray, 1921” and “B.M , Rochester, 1923” to the time she came to Allegheny College. She was an instructor in piano at the Eastman School of Music from 1923 to 1929, Assistant Director at the Cook County School of Nursing in Chicago from 1932 to 1935, and Assistant Dean of Women at the Illinois State Normal University in 1935-36. In 1936 she became our Dean of Women, and on March 1, 1949 she returned to the Cook County School of Nursing as its director of personnel. Such a record bespeaks versatility and ability, to say the least. It is trite to say that she has been missed since she left Allegheny. Although she was primarily concerned and connected with the female components of the Allegheny Kaldron, her influence was felt surely and constructively, everywhere, serving as a conditioning agent, moulding and helping to form both ingredient and product. The more one knew her, the better one liked her; nothing truer can be said of Miss Skinner; nothing better, indeed, can be said of anyone. PRESIDENT LOUIS T. BENEZET

There can be no single aspect of any college melting pot more important than its President, especially when, like M ildred J. L udwig our President, he takes as vital and active a part as possible in ail phases of the college life. It is difficult to classify him in the terminology of our Kaldron—he does more than JABEZ I,. BOSTWICK stir, he does more than add ingredients or decide which ones shall be included or how they will be mixed. He does all this and more, and in a very real sense is himself an ingredient, inextricably bound up with the college and the college life. Dr. Benezet’s life has indeed been centered around the one theme of education. 11 is father was an educator, and for many years he has been interested in all phases of this field. Since his graduation from Dartmouth in 1936, where he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, he has served both as teacher and administrator. In 1942 he received his Ph.D. from Columbia University Teachers College, and during the war he established off-duty education centers at shore stations in his capacity of Educational Services Officer. Dr. Benezet has been at Syracuse University since 1946, where he first served as assistant director of the University's school of extension teaching and adult education and later became assistant dean when the school was reorganized. His work included the revamping of the adult education program, and he was also in charge of the undergraduate program of this part of the University. Later he became assistant to the Chancellor, where his work included the fields of public relations and staff liaison ; he also acted as professor of education. Then, last summer, he accepted the position as President of Alle­ gheny, becoming the youngest president of a Class-A college in the United States, and fulfilling at the same time a long­ I vin B. M oyer standing desire to be a college president. This year, when President Benezet is himself a Fresh­ M ona H eil man, there has been more than usual attention focussed on his position. But it is not only, or even primarily, because Louis J. L ong of his Freshman status that we are more than ordinarily aware of this essential of our college melting pot—with Dr. Benezet have come new ideas about education with an emphasis on a practical viewpoint, and an honest attempt to look at ourselves as we are. to understand our problems before we start solving them. These ideas are best exemplified, it would seem, in the Evaluation Committees that have been set up under his jurisdiction. One of these committees has as its purpose an evaluation of every phase of the curriculum. Another is concerned with all aspects of student life and student activity, and is composed of students working with faculty members. The purpose of these committees is to take a long and careful look at both the academic and extra­ curricular sides of our school life in order to form a solid foundation of fact upon which to base further plans. Ilis forward-looking plans, his enthusiasm, his interest in education, all show Dr. Benezet’s interest in us; in return, we are all behind him. And we can see how important a part of our Kaldron our president is. Pchaps better than any other single person the president should represent the students and the college and what they stand for; we are proud to have Dr. Benezet representing us.

SENIORS Traditionally, and as is only just, this entire section is devoted to an enumeration of Seniors, the final products, the end results, the achievements of what-have-you, of our Kaldron. It is here, finally, that we point and tell an interested world how effectively and beneficially the ingredients have been working for the past four years, and how pronounced an outgrowth they have produced. Seniors are honored everywhere, whether they be in a corporation, a sewing- circle, or in a college Yearbook, and why? Because the people who are doing the honoring believe that their particular Seniors have attained something worth honoring, naturally. At Allegheny College it is because we believe our Seniors to have been the beneficiaries of something we would ex-pect to be honored that we admiringly doff our hats to them at the end of each year. All ihe things our College has to offer have been theirs to accept. This is a proud way of looking at it; and our pride is justified. Look them over well; each one believes that he or she is the only one graduating. These people have a talned knowledge; too much stress has already been placed on that aspect of their education for us to mention it extensively here ; colleges are founded to teach facts—the best colleges are those that also teach interpretation of facts. The seeker for the Almighty 85 must also be a seeker of things for which the 85 is only an indicator of his ability to seek. But at Allegheny we need have no fears on this thesis, for from all available demons;rations it is found that it is someihing beside b:;oks and studies that the Senior remembers and that brings him back to his Alma Mater physically at Homecoming and in a thousand other ways immaterially, long after he has graduated. He remembers, and is brought back by, actualities which we can only hope to come near mentioning with accuracy or entirety. He remembers, and thinks of Old Bentley, whose steps will creak a little more for his having been here; of the quiet that comes over the campus after the last bell—a quiet that is strange, because all around him is taking place enough activity to rock the world with its results. He remembers the very first time he saw in his everyday life a direct application of some­ thing he had read in a book, a phenomenon he had often doubted could possibly exist, and, seeing it, realized the potential and the appeal that knowledge could offer. He remembers a fraternity mee.ing, she remembers a sorority meeting, at which he or she sensed that what was being said in ritualistic words about fellowship and love for humankind could not be said in so many words. He remembers sharp periods of discouragement, in which he felt absolutely unequal to the demands of hour-tests and studying, and then he remembers the blessedly, equally sharp period of facing-up and common sense that made him come out with a good grade. He remembers gratefully a campus which could provide detailed realities in books and the same day could provide a form of relaxation where he could f .rget details but find himself uncon­ sciously applying them. These, and other things in his personal Kaldron, he remembers. Finally, he remembers his graduation day, when, during an oration, like his friends around him, our individualistic Senior asked himself, “Am I now really an educated man?” and was thankful that he could answer, "Yes, because I have been educated to apply what I have learned, and the educated man’s learning is never finished.” DOROTHY M.

*seniors graduating in February **seniors graduating in summer school Here are the organizations, a 'potpourri of activity, an indispensable component in our Kaldron. Here is where the things we learn in the classroom are tried and put ORGANIZATIONS to practical use. It would be hard to imagine a college in which there were no extra­ curricular— ie.’s call them ja^zrcurricular— activities to enhance English and History, Math and Art, and to be enhanced by them. One is as important as the other; textbooks are valueless without places where one can discuss them, argue them, and apply them. In this, the “Organizations” section of our Kaldron, there cannot be too much variety. During the past year, several new ingredients were added (Sailing Club, the Sinfonietta, the International Relations Club, the NSA, and the Chapel bells ringing in the evening, and last but not least, a new President); two (the Allegheny Christian Council and the Literary Magazine) changed their names; the Grill, just as much an Organization as any other, was more popular that ever, notwithstanding an attempt to change its atmosphere to one of super-salesmanship. The “fraternity question” came up in an Assembly program, at which no-one seemed able to mention anything that fraternities should do which they weren't doing already. The incoming frosh jumped into the whirl of activities with an eagerness and a boldness of approach that made many a complacent old-iimer sit up and start taking stock of how things had been going in the past. The AUC struggled over budgets and policies, and the MUC was there to handle the myriad problems, small but important, that faced it during a year when interfraternity relations were just short of cutthroat. The sororities fulfilled their functions of answering serenades and organizing worth-while social lives for their members. Every afternoon, every evening, sometimes even mornings, some group could be found somewhere, gaTiered around a table, a conductor, or a cup of coffee, making plans and carrying them out with a confidence and an inspiration, for want of a better word, that could come only from a strong belief that what they were doing was essential to themselves and to their college. There are organizations which supplied beauty: the Singers, Chapel Choir, the Orchestra, Orchesis, and Terrapin contributed memorable ingredients in their all-too- infrequent displays of what teamwork can accomplish. There are some which supplied excitement: the Band, all of the athletic teams, and the tense elections provided exhila­ ration and suspense, each in their own way, to give us something to follow and to think about. The Campus, Calliope, and, finally, the Kaldron, attempted to put into words what we were thinking and doing. An imposing group of speakers kept us up to date on the affairs of the world around us—a world whose existence we sometimes failed or refused to realize in our concern for our small, regulated, ideal orbit here. There are organizations which inspired, stimulated, relaxed, educated, and entertained us, according to their purposes and our needs. We took part in countless debates, studies, get-togethers, and bull-sessions, and, perhaps, through these activities, and their influence on us, we started to find out how little we really know, which is one of the best things any college can teach. Ideally, there is something for everybody here; once you have found something you like and have made yourself a part of it, it becomes a part of your own personal Kaldron. That is what our Allegheny Organizations have to offer us. THE ALLEGHENY UNDER­ GRADUATE COUNCIL Attacked, slammed around, and criticized, as is any Government, the AUC this year nevertheless went ahead with its capable and judicial handling of the direction of the affairs of the student body which it represented, keeping the fire burning under our huge Kaldron. The objects of this organization are “to bring into closer relationship and working harmony the various branches of college activities, to stimulate undergraduate thought, to crystallize and reflect undergraduate opinion, and to preserve the customs and traditions of Allegheny College.” That just about binds up the objectives of any organization we have here; this year’s AUC did a good job of it. Meeting every Sunday night, with representatives of the fraternities, sororities, the four classes and the other organizations present, they planned our social functions and guided us into channels that were acceptable to all of us. It took over the traditional program of Freshman customs, and started that class off on a successful Allegheny career. Always it stood in back of ihe college, moulding the activities S ea ted: Edith Carberry, Arthur Whitney.

ALLEGHENY COLLEGE CHAPTER OF THE NATIONAL STUDENT ASSOCIATION

Last May Allegheny College, by a vote of its student body, added a widely-heralded new catalyst to its Kaldron. The object of this new ingredient, the NSA, was to put the mixture on a more democratic, more S ea ted : Raymond McCall, Don Hamilton, Hugh Crawford, Marge Beck, Larry Tompkins. practical basis and at the same time offer more cultural opportunities to the students. It is a nation-wide Sta n d in g : Martha Wright, Lyle Peterson, Hazel Lou McIntosh, William Rylander, Janie Fielding, Jean Raeburn, Peter Albright, organization of college students; it was formed to enable its members to get together to discuss and air their Vicki Barnes, Buzz Diaz, Mary Lou Richey, Flossie Brownell, Tom Fort, Ruth Slosser. common problems, and on the basis of this proposition Allegheny’s chapter worked with the faculty in their attempt to improve campus life. Following is a list of a few of its contributions. One of NSA’s major projects has been the investigation of the possibilities for work, study, and travel in foreign countries. They have written to many different organizations and compiled a complete file of opportunities for going abroad. As a result, several Allegheny students will be visiting France, Denmark and Switzerland this summer. In April, the NSA chapters of Pennsylvania banded together and presented a “Culturale” in Philadelphia. To this exhibit came the best examples of art, music, and drama that Pennsylvania campuses had to offer. Allegheny contributed many works of art, and ihe Singers included the Culturale in their Spring tour. The NSA discussed the problems of the education of displaced persons, with the exciting result that three of them will be educated at Allegheny with money obtained from the Student Service Fund Drive. The Bulletin Board in the Grill, and the accompanying lost-and-found department and transportation sheets were also the contributions of NSA. Next year it is planning to introduce a purchase-card system on campus. Under this plan students will be able to obtain goods at a reduced rate from the redoubtable Meadville Merchants. Also on next year's agenda is a revision of Allegheny’s Student Government; an NSA committee is now working on this knottiest of problems in cooperation wi.h the AUC. Allegheny is also cooperating in a nationwide plan to strike out the race and color questions on college application blanks, thus eliminating the present quota system as practiced by most schools. The NSA has not lived up to its claims of Tommy Dorsey for three hundred dollars’, or marvellous speakers, but neither has it lived down to them. It has made a good start, and has made a firm foundation on which to build and grow. Its year of constructive work has proved that it has the potentialities of a most important ingredient. THE A.W.S. OFFICERS Any formula will boil over if it is not fre­ quently stirred; the AWS is another govern­ ing agent which keeps the mixture smooth and the chemicals well integrated. The five officers of the Associated Women Students are charged with administering the student rules which they help to formulate and which are enforced through the strength of public opinion and small fines Thus our female ingredients are kept within the edges of the Kaldron. S e a ted : Mary Lou Richie, Jean Dahlquist. Ba c k : Martha Hopper, Vickie Barnes, Jean Raeburn, Jacqueline Leggett.

THE SENIOR COURT These stately Seniors see that the women students do nothing to upset the smooth and untroubled brew of our Kaldron. Their duties are to hold court for offenders of the AWS rules and to advise those who are potential offenders. Mary Lou Richey, as vice-president of AWS, was this year’s able prexy.

THE SENATE

To the Senate falls the task of acting as the executive body of AWS, along with everything the name implies—not only explaining regulations and checking their enforcement, but considering suggestions and making recommendations.

The Men's Undergraduate Council can best be classified, in the terminology of our melting-pot of Allegheny, as a "shortening" agent, which is poured into the mixture to assure its proper and efficient mingling with the many other diverse ingredients Every two weeks, sixteen men, representing every man on our campus, meet together to ventilate and analyze their peculiar problems. Unpublicized but sure­ footed, they contribute understanding when it is lacking and action when it is needed, to enable the male ingredients to mix more smoothly and profitably in making their contributions to the final product.

THE PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL This group, composed of a Junior and Senior representative from each sorority, acts as the mediator for the feminine Greeks of our melting-pot. Along with their general activity of discussing inter­ sorority problems, they perform several services as a separate group. This year, under their capable leadership, they sent CARE packages to Europe, gave a dance for the upperclass women and helped the Sophomore pledge classes put on their joint party.

THE A.W.S. ACTIVITIES BOARD The AWS cannot function without the activities board to pick up the odds and ends and handle detail work. To our melting pot this Board adds order, plans, ideas, and willing workers. Through its eight committees it plans teas, dances and exchange dinners, keeps Brooks Hall supplied with news­ papers, and handles the publicity for major campus happenings. Any organization that can do all that is an essential part of the AWS and of our Kaldron.

The Women's Athletic Association helps to unite the feminine ingredients in this Kaldron by supervising all the women’s sports activities and by planning an extensive intramural schedule.

Though he was much plagued by such tragedy of power-lust on the moors of villains as Bob Landon and Miles Mutchler, Barnaby somehow managed to bring us safely and very musically right up to modern times. This mammoth musical was under the direction of Mr. Hulburt. With the last curtain of Sing Out, Sweet Land!, came the ending of another successful year for the directors, the crews, the actors, the ushers, the painters and designers, for everyone connected with the accomplishment that is the Playshop. It was the end of another year of hard work and long hours, but it was also the end of the comradeship that holds a cast together until the end of a year of doing the things that they like to do. But, however mixed up may be the feelings connected with the close of another Play­ shop season, it cannot be denied that this year of 1948-49 was one of the more successful in the long history of our Kaldron’s drama department.

THE HEELERS Before you are eligible for membership in the Outing Club you must join Heelers, the proving-ground for all future Daniel Boones. Membership in Heelers affords the plebe a good chance to prove his interest to himself as well as to the Outers. He looks forward to initiation, but he regrets leav­ ing behind him the intangible things that can belong to Heelers alone. Maybe it is the first trip out to Bousson in the college truck and the first rainy trip back home: maybe it is the first burned hamburger or coffee-stain. Whatever it is, it speaks well for the Heelers, presided over this year by Ward Schenck.

THE CHAPEL CHOIR It’s hard to tell just whether Bob Johnson, leader of the Chapel Choir, comes under the heading of an ingredient or a mixer in the Kaldron, for, indeed, many Alleghenians think that he is an undergraduate. But whatever may or may not be true, there is no denying that he has done a wonderful job with the newly reorganized singing group and has made “the poor man’s Singers" into a choir that can hold its own with any college singing organization.

THE ALLEGHENY SINFONIETTA There's something new under the brilliant Allegheny sun—ihe Sinfonietta. This shiny new group, under the F irst r o w : Laura Dunn, Martha Dengler, Patricia Mummer, Ann Williams, Connie Callahan, Evelyn Koester, Jean able direction of Dr. Herbert Neurath, is devoted to the playing of the lesser-known masterpieces of the music Werner, Patricia Hockensmith, Margery Dickey, Patricia MacEwen, Ellie Miller, Doris Scott, Muriel Smock, world's great composers. Though it is as yet very small in numbers, the Sinfonietta shows great promise of becoming, Janie Marsh, Alice Condayan. in the course of the next few years, one of the most enthusiastically received musical groups on the campus.

Here is an organization which must be finally classified both as an ingredient and a product of our Kaldron. As an ingredient, the Singers provides for its members an intensive, time-consumi ig, but especially rewarding task which has as one of its elements a demand for perfection that cm come only from willing, self-effacing teamwork. It is interesting to note that "Luvy” insists that not one single voice “stand uui" by itself, but that every one of the four sections blend perfectly with all the o'.hers t ) produce a smooth, unified whole of harmonious sound. This fact makes this organization one of the b_*sl examples of teamwork-in-action to be found on our campus. As a product, the Singers emerge each Spring as a choir known from Maine to Florida as one of the outstanding choral groups of its kind. Their annual Spring tour is as eagerly awaited by their audiences, whether they be in Hartford, East Orange, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, or Podunk, as it is by the Singers themselves. A product which spreads Allegheny’s fame so far and so wide in so expressive a form deserves high consideration in an evaluation of what our Kaldron has turned out. -

THE BAND This organization, now beginning to come inio its own, adds just the right touch of pepper to our Kaldron to give it some zest. Its enthusiastic playing at football games, and its terrific marching per­ formances at half-time, make our band second only to the game itself.

To speak for all the ingredients in our Kaldron we have those ingredients whose honor and duty it is to have been chosen by their fellow components to voice their wishes, opinions, and ideas to those who stir the conflagration. These are rather special people to whom we, the Kaldron's entire complement, have said, "Represent us, for we know what you have done and can do and we want you to help us show anybody peering into our Kaldron that we are a fine school, taken as a whole or class by class.” Within the Kaldron they all work together with identical goals; but just ask any class officer and he’ll tell you that his class is just a little better than all the rest. The catalysts are weighed and measured, the fire is brought to exactly the right temperature, the administration stands ready to stir, and into the pot go the ingredients—the Student Body. These are the most important parts of the formula; these are the ends for which the Kaldron was founded in 1815. It remains for the four Groups of ingredients to add the flavor and leave their imprints. From the Freshman Class this year came a spirit and an enthusiasm which Allegheny has seldom STUDENT BODY known. Their participation in nearly everything on campus has injected life and energy into many organizations which have been stagnating for years. Their “Tunnel of Love” dance, in which every member of their class participated, gave the school its first chance to see what the Freshmen were capable of doing socially; the result was one of the year's most successful functions. Not content with merely giving a dance, they went on to sponsor a roller-skating party and a bridge tournament, and reinstated Crill dancing on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Freshman Customs came back for another try and were carried off with good humor if only fair success. The Frosh looked over the system of class officers and decided it needed something more, so the Freshman Council was created to meet once a week and discuss class affairs. All in all the Freshman Class took the school over with an eagerness which infiltrated every ingredient on campus. The Sophomore component was a little smaller this year, but as potent as ever. With the originality which characterized the class since its Orientation Week, it added a Leap Week which will go down in history. This contribution to the social calendar was climaxed by a swimming party and the “Congo Bongo" Ball, to which the girls dragged the boys, literally and figuratively. Scholastically, they took a deep breath and began their second lap at Allegheny; a few ran out of breath before the end, some were not in condition and dropped out of the running, but most of them adjusted their sleep and study habits well enough to last out the race. They found, to their relief, that living in fraternity houses and joining sororities did not break up Freshman friendships but kept them as firmly entrenched as ever. They looked around them and discovered that although Allegheny College was pretty wonderful it was far from perfect. So there came some mild but firm criticism of the faculty, of the student govern­ ment, and of the student body itself. Following up their words with action, the Sophomores led several clubs and projects to successful ends. They look back on a profitable two years, and take a hopeful plunge for the long-but-short pull ahead. They have become an integral part of our Kaldron, and will add more and more in their years to come. With three years safely tucked behind them, the Juniors are preparing for the final lap, having met and hurdled most of Allegheny's obstacles. The confusion of choosing majors and planning life jobs is over; they have climbed to within sight of what they hope will be their goal. They can look back with pride; and they are the first class to come to Allegheny and find complete “normalcy” after the War. Their social triumph was the Junior Promenade on April 2; everyone agreed that it was the most successful one Allegheny has ever seen. To the melting pot the Juniors added an individuality which surpasses all other classes. They were never a group of sheep, blindly following the traditions and customs handed down to them by others. Rather, their maxim has always been that they will meet each obstacle in their own way and according to their own views; and if you are wondering what we mean when we say obstacles, ask any Junior. Friendly and sincere, they are a group that can look back with pride on their contributions to the Kaldron. These are the ones to whom we look to lead us next year. The Seniors are through now; they have been exposed to everything that Allegheny could offer, and they have gained a wealth of wisdom and understanding. Theirs is the last of the classes to be composed mostly of veterans; they were serious and intent on making up for the time they had lost, and yet they found plenty of time for college horseplay and traditions along the way. The Christmas dance, traditionally sponsored by the Seniors, put the finishing touches on their four-year social con­ tributions: Alvino Rey, Christmas Carol decorations (and 1 :15 permissions) gave them something to be remembered by in the superficial sense. Under the Seniors’ able leadership the Student Government completed a good year, controlling and guiding Allegheny’s many clubs and organizations. They have come to the post with flying colors; they have passed comprehensives, adjusted to roommates, and learned to proportion their time between work and play—three of the hardest of Allegheny's requirements. We can only wish them luck and keep them in view as we remain here to profit from what they have left us and to enhance it. These, then, are the ingredients of our Kaldron. Essentially they are the why and the wherefore of Bentley Hall, Timothy Alden, a cornerstone laid “on the hill,” and a million other platitudes. They are changed, mixed around, and refined a bit in the process; they are the Melting Pot, they are Allegheny. They are the reason for our Kaldron’s existence, and, hopefully, its justification. men

And those who leave just short of goals That they have striven for— Do they reach a more rich reward Upon the other shore? Are they aware that, as they leave, Their passing gives us pain, And can they see, from where they are The lone ones who remain? It seems such a mysterious scale— The one that times our days. There must be someone guarding it Who knows its works and ways. Then it must follow that we praise The setting of each sun For we are only left to say, “Dear God, Thy will be done.” iii I S I .

Here is one of the biggest factors in our Kaldr m and certainly one of great importance in the sum total of ingredients in the conglomeration of component parts of our college life. This factor is that of sports. This year was a wonderful year for Alleghtny’s varsity squads in many ways and we have the SPORTS right to be justly proud of them all. Just three years ago in this same Yearbook there appeared a picture of the scale model of Eberhardt Field. At that time, it was just a plan which was merely in its first stages of development. Today that field is neither a dream nor an unfinished plan; today we have that field completed and with a year's service behind it already. A 24-foot quarter-mile track surrounds the field which this year saw the most successful football season which Allegheny has had in many a year. Spiked this year by names like Frank Pollard, Bill Rylander, Norm Baker, and Russ Spanard, the team blazed its way to a total of six wins, one tie, and one loss, a record which far excelled that of any recent year. With the successful football season came an increased interest and spirit which was greatly due to Bob Jrhnson and his band, often off key but always loud, who were always there at Eberhardt, playing, singing, and yelling the team on to its victories. This year we saw a greater display of half-time color than ever before as Bob led the band and the Majore:tes through maneuvers and horseplay on the field. All in all, we had more fun at the games than ever before and the season ended with everyone confident that the Gators were out of their wartime slump and were at last on the right track to years of successful football teams. While everyone on campus was absorbed in the football teams phenomenal progress, Coach Bill Hanson was grooming another soccer team. Along with last year’s soccermen like Roger Christopherson, Frank Ferraraccio, Sum Nichols, Dick Welsh, Ralph Ketcham, Virg Sayre, Jay Huff, and Gene McClure, the team was aided by Freshman stars like Bob Blomquist, Roger Hare, Bill Tillotson, Arny Lewis, and Bill Lowe. But again the team came up against stronger teams and had a generally unsuc­ cessful year. But the way that the soccer team came along this year indicates that if the team keeps getting the same type of material that it did this year, we will soon have a soccer team fit to cope with any in the league. A1 Werner and his hoopsters went through a year of hard-luck games in which the team lost several games by margins of one and two baskets. The Gator quintet, sparked by returning players Jim Montgomery, Ernie Andres, Bill “Beef” Potter, Paul Miller, Sum Nichols, Gene McClure, Don McKay, and Norm Baker, included one outstanding Freshman, Art Lowrie. Through their long series of games the team was well supported by the school as could be easily seen by anyone who had to stand in the crowded gym. During the 1948-49 season the Allegheny swimming team under the coaching of Bill Hanson pulled down a very impressive record. Led by freestylers Ken Smith, Virg Sayre, Howie Schlitt, and Bill Byham, backstrokers Bob Zuberbuhler, Ward Schenck, and Reg Wilson, and breaststrokers Steve Davis, Ed McAlevy, and Bill Baum, the team splashed its way to a season of which we can well be proud. This year a new event was added to the team’s repertoire as Allegheny acquired its first diver, Don Case, who racked up points in the out-of-town meets. With Spring came Track, Baseball, and Tennis to keep the Kaldron’s interest sharply focussed on sports and to round out the rostrum of intercollegiate athletics at Allegheny. Though Allegheny, probably because of its size, has not always produced a winning team in each of the seven intercollegiate sports in which it participates, the varsity men provide one of the most important factors in our Kaldron, for what would a college be without sports? Not much at all, in many ways. And with the participation of those ingredients who can qualify for a varsity sport and the ardent support of all of us. we can be sure that the seven intercollegiate teams that Allegheny puts out will continue, as they have been doing steadily, to improve in size and stature until we have teams in all seven sports, football, soccer, basketball .swimming, baseball, track, and tennis, which cannot be beaten by any teams anywhere . . .

This organization, whose aim it is to draw all the members of Allegheny's eight intercollegiate athletic squads together, is known as ‘Block “A” which symbol, gold and proud, identifies the members on the campus. The first time we hear of this organization is in connection with the cider-and-doughnut party which they hold every year after the Homecoming Game. Then, through the year, we see them at all the games, ushering the fans to their seats. A well-run group, always, it had as its president this year Bill Rylander. It is open to any Alleghenian who receives one or more letters for playing in a varsity sport. It has been steadily growing in numbers as well as in strength since the war, when at one point it could boast of but one member. This year found it very active ail over the campus, and it looks for­ ward to even greater strength as the athletic schedules are completed. The incentive of belonging to Block "A” is shared by every candidate for a varsity sport and those lucky enough to be awarded a varsity letter can tell you how really important an organization of this kind is to any campus. So may we point to the Allegheny Block “A” as being one of the most valuable ingredients that keep our Kaldron boiling with interest.

THE MAY QUEEN

It is perhaps sacrilege for us to attempt to write mere words and sentences about the pages immediately following. We could drag out all sorts of stock phrases about Allegheny Charm, Spring­ time, beauty, and the unerring taste which the student body dis­ played in choosing bv popular election the nine girls whose pictures we have here. But we Literature has never been could never come close to able to capture just that saying that we — or any­ expression, the English one else— mean when we department notwithstand- mention “May Court.” - - - - — ing. So we’ll only say that these are our Kaldron Queens, that they are queens in every sense of the word, and that everyone at Allegheny takes pride in the fact that they represent something which we like to think is as much a part of our college’s life as it is of its yearbook. Having said that much, we will let these next few pages speak, as only they can, for themselves. H E R C 0 U R T
