In 2008, Democratic cam- paigners Bill Clinton and Barack Obama paid Memorial Hall a visit. Although it is 54 years old, Memorial Hall remains a thoroughly modern facility. Recent improvements have included the addi- tion of an overhead scoreboard and the 2004 repainting of the fl oor. Since 1998, Memorial Hall has been home to the Buttermaker Tournament. Th e Mule volleyball team has enjoyed playing at home, compiling a 113-57 (.665) record in Memorial Hall since 1991.

Love, Mom and Dad ’78 and Courtney ’07 The BUTTERMAKERS The 1990 Muhlenberg volleyball team was a very young but promising group. Comprised mostly of fresh- men, they worked extremely hard but met with lots of frustration and disappointments during the early part of the season. In an effort to keep their morale up, and to point out the necessity of continuing to work hard and thus ultimately achieve success, Coach Frank Marino told them the following story:

There was once a group of frogs who happened upon a large vat of milk. Seeing an opportunity for fun, they jumped into the vat and began to frolic. Unfortunately, the edge of the vat was shaped in a curved way that allowed for easy entry but impossible exit. The frogs swam frantically about and tried hard to escape from the vat. Even- tually all but one frog grew exhausted, sank to the bottom and perished. The remaining frog continued to kick and kick until the milk solidified and was turned to butter. The frog was therefore able to climb out of the vat and survive.

The obvious moral of the story was if you keep kicking and trying, you will eventually succeed. That group of freshmen went on to set the College record for wins, and their record still stands. Further, of the seven who were freshmen at that time, five made Deans’ List every semester and three were Phi Beta Kappa. The group came to be known as the “Buttermakers” and established traditions of excellence and pride which succeeding teams strive to maintain. The program holds a tournament every year named in their honor. 2008 Buttermaker Tournament Field King’s DeSales FDU-Florham Medaille Susquehanna Moravian MUHLENBERG York Stevens Buttermaker Tournament Champions 1998 Muhlenberg 2001 Muhlenberg 2005 Muhlenberg 1999 Muhlenberg 2002 King’s 2006 MIT 2000 Muhlenberg 2003 Catholic 2007 York 2004 FDU-Florham MUHLENBERG COLLEGE VOLLEYBALL
