THE GLASS OF '29
This year's freshman class, comprising eight hundred men and women, is the largest enroll ed thus far at City College, The foll ow ing officers were chosen at the fall elections: President, Everett Pauschert Vice-President, ) ean Persons Secretary, Alfred Eckel Treasurer, James Tait Although the Sophs won the pushball contest in the annual frosh-soph battle, the Frosh were victorious in the football ga me and the tug-of-war. The F lag Rush, due to the insecure setting of the pole, failed to take place, The Freshman dance, the Ferment, was made successful by an attel'lcl ance of one hundred a nd fift y couples, and the originali ty of the decorations, It was given on Febru ary 27, in the \\lomen's gymnasium. which was trans formed to resemble an inn of the days of '49, G inger-ale was served, and gre en coin purses were given as favors. Both men and women have been well represented in all branches of athletics and in other fie lds, The Freshman .Commission, composed of twenty women, has cooperated very sLl ccessfull y with the \\lomen's League, and it was the women of the class of '29 who originated the idea of green hair ribbons for freshman women. Among the names of the cast of this year's opera, 'The Prince of Pi lsen," there will be blind a substantial number of freshmen .
For I), Forly-One HOLMES EI!.TE' .\. .../It/detle .AchielJements o/' 1925.26 Since coll ege opened last fall, athl etics have been going at top speed and have made wonderful advances. Now, as the semester draws to an encl, we can once more write upon the annals of the Athletic Department the word ~ success. \\le '-ay not have conquered all of the foes which we have met on the battlefle l d~ sports, but we have given a very impressive account of ourselves before we wou ld submi t to defeat.· The past year has seen some notable changes in the Athletic Department. ivl ... Newman H. E rtell , who was graduated from C. C. D. in 1925, was added to the athletic staff. Another thing which attracted widespread attention was the schedLding of games with the three best basketball teams in the l'vlid-West, Franklin, Notre Dame, and Butler. Let us cast a glance over the teams of the past year. In football, we played eight ga mes; losing three, tieing one, and winning four. The team lost to Ferris, Adri an, and Mt. Pleasant; tied Olivet; a nd beat Assumption, Grand . Rapids, Hope, and Toledo. The team at the start of the season, was handi capped by the lack of a playing field, and as a result, lost its first game by the slight margin of one point. The next game, the team worked better together, and just before the Oli vet game, it got on its own field. At the end of the season, the teal'n had developed a very powerful attack. Playing his last year, Litzenberger was probably at his best, but found it hard to get started on his end run s. Blum and Lambert, who were both de veloped during the season, developed in to a wonderful pair of tackles, and shou ld be a gre at li nemen next season. Lankton, playing his first year for Cit y Coll ege, was a va lu able man to the team. His running attack was not so powerful, but his punting was the best City Coll ege has had in years. The team as a whole played good ball , and next season holds bright prospects of being a banner year in football. In basketbal l, we played nineteen ga mes; losing six and winning thirteen.
Forly-Tim?:, The teams played represented six different regions, corning from Ohio, In diana, Michigan, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Canada. This year's team had the honor of having the country's leading scorer. Schecter scored a total of 221 points, and he had two team-mates who scored over a hundred points, in Robert Gunn and Bortle. . As result of the success of this past season, Coach Holmes is planning an eastern trip to New York and the New England States. At the present time, Penn State University has already accepted a game with our team, and many other leading eastern colleges have signified their intentions of scheduling uames with us. Thus City College is again rising to a higher plane in col legiate athletics. In track, City College has upheld its laurels of the past year, and even outdone its past. records. Coach Holmes has about a dozen lett.er men back from last year's team, and from this array, with a few good Freshmen, he made a very fine team. . In the first meet of the year, the Illinois Relays, Seitz, pole vaulter, tore a muscle and was forced from competition for the rest of the year. But at this meet, Doherty placed 'second in the Decathlon against the finest men of the mid-west. Spence won the low hurdles and was beaten in the high hurdles, only after his victors had tied the worlel's record. In the Michigan State Relay Carnival, the mile relay team set a new record for its event, when it beat its old time of 3 :48.6 by turning in a time of 3 :46. Spence won both of the hurdle races, and Doherty and Huntington tied for first place in the high jump. Zuber tied for third in the shot-put, as did Hallock in the pole vault. BM.CEP. A. RASCH BEN J ,'~IIN STEM~IELEN H . REH:-.I Ll r-.: cK BATES You sc JONES F . RASCH After the State Relays, City College traveled to Ohio Wesleyan for its first C.

Here they were beaten because they failed to take enough PIGGI1'o'S OSIWRN E ScH E.\I~1 CUNN Il">:CI'IAM PASCOI ~ V ,\1'o' i-IELDORF HUSHEN E . BUXTON second and third places. The following week, we met Ypsi in our gym. Here we were defeated by nine points, but in :-;pite of being defeated, we took five first places. VARSITY D MEN After a few weeks of rest, the outdoor season started. The first meet was LEIGH PASCOE ARTHUR BLUM the Ohio Relays. Here Zuber took a first in the shot-put, the relay team took ALBERT LITZENBERGER WARREN LAMBERT second, losing to the crack eastern quartet of Colgate·s. Doherty and Hunt OWEN STH~~ ' IELEN EDWARD SPENCE ington tied for second in the high jump, and Spence took a third in the high HENRY REHN HAROLD SADOWS hurdles. Lack of practice, due to bad weather, prevented our men from making ORVILLE LINCK GEORGE LESTER a much better showing. WILLARD BATES LAWRENCE LANKTON The next week, a picked squad was sent to the Penn Relays. The relay WILLIAM YOUNG EUGENE COYRO team repeated its performance of the previous year by' winning a first in the CLARK BUXTON OSWALD ROBBINS mile relay and set a new record of 3 :27.2 for their class. Doherty showed his ROBERT WEIGIELT ADOLPH REHN worth by taking fourth in the Decathlon of ten events against the very best JOSEPH OLDANI WILLIAM CUNNINGHAM track men of the east. Such a performance as this certainly deserves the . highest praise, and City College all hopes he will win this event next year. SUB-VARSITY D MEN After the Penn Relays, City began its list of dual meets. Against Mi,higan State College, the team waged a furious battle, only to be beaten by eighteen MALCHOM STUART EU.GENE BUXTON points. Alderman, of State, was a big factor in our defeat, by placing in four IRA BEN)AtvIlN LOUIS SCHEMM different events. After the State meet, we were scheduled to meet \Vestern WALTER IvIICHALSI<1 WALTER ERXBELEN State Normal, but lack of funds forced this school to cancel the meet. But City College closed its outdoor season by meeting its old rival, Ypsi, at Belle Sea son's Summary .. 13 Isle. Here a hot battle waged, and the final result was uncertain until the DETROIT Cln' COLI. Em;:. • ...... 12 FERRlli INSTITU TE DETROIT CITY COLLEGE .. 9 A IiSUMI'TION CoLl.

Lawrence N[artin has had faculty direction of the paper for the first time. To him, and to the two editors who have worked on the paper, should go a large share of the credit for the introduction of these new features: Toward Literature ; Books, Drama, and Music; and the S il houettes and CadAy columns. I n the two latter columns, Saul .K. Padover proved himself the Henry L. Mencken of the coll ege. The editorial and business staffs worked hard to improve the quality of the sheet. T he fi rst issue of the paper came out on September 30, the week that college began. This was the first time in the history of the Coll egian that such an early start was made. The fi rst issue was unique in that it was put out completely by a staff of five, numbering J. Paul Stoakes, John Benkelman Ethel Ashe, William Young, and Ceil Sosensky. After the first few issues, the Committee on Student Publications appointed j. Paul Stoakes, editor-in-chief. John Benkelman was made managing editor ; Gordon Turner, assistant managing editor; . Robert Breitenbach, copy; and Alexander Parnie, rnake-up. Benkelman resigned to take charge of The CriBln, and Turner became managing ed itor. Orin -Jane Bragg was made assistant copy editor ; Robert Cork, sport editor; and Ethel Ashe, literary editor. The DeLroiL Collegian continued under this staff until the end of the first semester. In the first issue of the second semester, an editorial entitled "Professor, How Could You?" was published. This editoria l attacked the administration in the matter of the expulsion of two students. At first, its appearance occa sion ed no comment, but two weeks later, Assistant Dean Darnell ordered a faculty censorship of the paper. This censorship affected the third issue, and simultaneously with its appearance, the entire staff resigned. The following F ri day, an outlaw publication, The Trumpeter, stating the reason for the stafr's resignation, appeared on the campus. It was publi shed and .£o ld by some of the former members of the Collegian staff. The res ignation of the sta,ff, however: did not hinder the fourth issue of the Collegia n staff, which came out on the appointed day. I t was largely through the efforts of Wi lliam Young and the faculty advisors, Ivlr. Lawrence Martin and Mr. Rex Cunli ffe that this was accompl ished. In less than a week, they had organi zed a staff and publi shed a paper. At the present time, the Collegian is being pu bl ished by this sta ff. E ighl),-Two E igill ),-Thnlf F.

Owen P auline, graceful of appearance, had a voice of we ll -modul ated ri chness we ll adapted to his role of the P rince. Because of him and his ex cell ent students' chorus, rnany will hum o r whistle the Heidelberg-Stein song long a fter the opera is fo rgotten . An appropri ate partner for the ga ll a nt prince was Dorothy Hope, whose sweet, clear soprano and cha rming personal appearance were displ ayed to best e ffect in the ' 'Ta le of the Sea Shell " scene, in whic h she and the Prince put on a delightful dance. O f course, Russell Smith, from Zinzinna ti , took a ll the hono rs for cha racter : he was over-characterecl to the point of successful absurdity. His baritone voic e was good, and his na ive observations, such as " free's a bunch," his dancing, and his politica l speeches 'were hugely a ppreciated. Helen T hompson, as the merry widow, had a pleasing personality and very cha rming costumes. All her numbers, "A Season a t the Shore." "The American G irl ," and "Our Queen of F lowers," were we ll received ; but " T he \Vidow" was best. Douglas rVfcGregor, as Artie, stepped into a part that was created for him when the opera was written. H e had a fin e voice, and the dandified spring in his walk, the mealy dra wl in his voice, and his whole English-cl andy appear ance was perfect. Irene Day, in F renchy bl ack satin ancl lace, was as perfect ly cast in the role of the F rench maid. M iss Day had the most technicall y perfect and pleasing . voice of the entire ferninine personnel. Julia R il ey represented the typical America n girl as we hope she is repre sented in Europe. David Persons made a dashingly ha ndsome young Yankee naval officer, but his bass voice was miscast in a teno r pa rt. Henry Rehn made an excell ent spirited , sli ghtly insolent bell -hop. And Brownlee Kerr, R. USS El who had a good voice, was a ll that could be asked of a frock-coated, goatee-d, much-in-Iove concierge, save tha t in the heights of excitement, he sometimes forgot his French pronunciation and spoke like a hurried Yankee. Interpretative of mood rather than of incident, the dancing choruses claimed recognit ion in their own ri ght. Their costumes were ind ividual, vari ed, and colorful ; and for amateurs, t hey dance wit h remarkabl y fin e rh ythm and grace. In the first ac t, the Art ie cho rus and the interpreta tion of " Keep it Dark" were best. In the first, the girls shared honors with their be-monocled idol; but in the second centered a ll attent ion on themselves. The stage, cast in blue-purple dark'ness, was li ghted by momentary flashes of green as the girls in loose white robes, Rashed through t heir aesthetic movements, T he Ameri can G irl chorus in the second act created such a sensation with their clever Charleston that they were call ed back for an encore by an apprec iative audience, Dressed in French gray, t he regul a r dancing chorus went through some intricate squad maneuvers during t he " Back to the Boul evards" scene, "RI~"'Nl[ ( The genda rmes were succeeded by a pa ir of Bowery dancers whose ski t call ed KERR. a laugh and a hearty applause fo r an encore, , IRENE The sto ry of the opera is itself weak and dawdli ng.

This year, Helen G ill ette, president of W. S. G. A, took the prize for the women, and James Sheppard, president' of the Sophomore class, won for the men. Decorations were very easy to arrange, because of the proximity of Hallowe'en, and black and orange were the predominant colors of the evening. \Vheelba rro ws, apples, cornstalks, pumpkins, and autumn leaves helped to promote the season's atmosphere. The gym had an artificial ceiling con structed over its rafters. Paper streamers were stretched across, and the lo we red lights were decorated in orange and black.
