Sheffield, Schmidt Lead '60-'61 Alumni

Two veterans. O. K. Sheffield "53 and Stephen J. "Smitty"" Schmidt '40. were elected to head the two major alumni organizations for the coming year.

Sheffield moved up from the first vice-presidential post in the National Alumni Assn., and Schmidt was re- elected for the third consecutive year to the Booster Club helm.

The elections occurred during the ;innii;il hipsiness mpetinijs of the twn organizations which were held on Alumni Day, April 30.

About 250 alumni and friends of Oglethorpe braved heavy rains during the early part of the day to help dedi- cate the field house. They remained to take care of the annual alumni

Although the floor had not been completed, spectators were visibly awed by the size and uniqueness of the field house. Both Sheffield and Schmidt, representing their respective organizations, expressed gratitude to the Oglethorpe trustees for making the building possible. They also pledg- ed increased alumni interest and sup- port for the total Oglethorpe program.

ALUMNI TO HELP MAKE PLANS

The long, black lines of people with colorful hoods filed slowly out of the crowded auditorium, and an- other graduation day is over.

Faces caught between smiles and tears finally resolve themselves into one or the other during the goodbyes around the punchbowl. Remarks such as. "I didn't realize I could get such a fine education at Oglethorpe until I actually attended." or "I've been to other colleges, but none has "iven me what I received at Oglethorpe," are predictable because each class of graduates has much the same thing to say.

Alumni may feel as proud as these in the long lines that an Oglethorpe education means a significant educa- tion. They may feel proud of the firm foundation of quality that is being layed for coping with this complex society.

Plans are being made to do an even better job in the years to come. Dur- ing the latter part of July, administra- tion and faculty members and repre- sentatives of the trustees and alumni will spend two or three days discuss- ing the future of Oglethorpe. At that time it is hoped that a general outline will be developed to guide Ogle- thorpe's destiny for several years.

A major part of the discussions will undoubtedly concern the finan- cial support needed for program im- provements. It is believed that during the next five years a definitive pro- gram of development can be under-f taken so that funds for capital outla and endowment may be assured.

But during this process, there is need for adequate additional support

225 in Summer School 2nd Session Begins July 18

Mrs. Marjorie MacConnell, regis- trar, stated that Oglethorpe has the highest summer school enrollment since 1956. Some 225 summer scholars are attending the first ses- sion which began on June 13.

Notable among these students is that 1 1 0 are regular college students who are accelerating their college pro- gram. Sixty Oglethorpe students are in the group, including seven who will receive degrees in August, The re- maining 50 will transfer earned credits "to schools in which they are regularly enrolled.

In-service teachers comprise the next largest group with 93 enrolled. They study in the summer to com- plete their undergraduate work, gain an increment advancement or update their teaching certificates.

Relative newcomers to the summer program are high school students, graduates and non-grads, who have their eyes on college. Twenty-three of these youngsters are taking non- credit refresher courses in high school English and math, the major college stumbling blocks. This is the third year Oglethorpe has offered such a program.

Thirteen courses will be offered in the second summer school session which begins on July 18. They in- clude: English; Speech and Writing II; Trigonometry; History: Western Civ- ilization III; Comparative Govern- ment; Southern History; History of the Symphony; Introduction to Phil- osophy; Man and the Universe; Ele- mentary French (second quarter); Ele- mentary School Art; Seminar in

Alumni Plan (cont.)

This support we have called the Fund for the Future.

In essence, the Fund for the Future consists of 5100,000 per year for five years to come from a limited number of sources — foundations, organiza- tions, and individuals. Each of these sources would contribute from S5,000 to $20,000 per year for five years.

This $100,000 per year would be used:

1. To build a stable basis of finan- cial support

2. To plan a long range develop- ment program

3. To increase teacher salaries

4. To improve the physical plant

5. To support some phases of cur- rent operations

6. To support special projects

7. To contribute to the endowment Your alumni executive committee

voted to support this new Fund by depositing all Forward Oglethorpe funds into it. A goal of 815,000 has been set as the alumni's share from September 1, 1960 to August 31, 1961. Your gift may be earmarked for one or more of the areas listed above. If unmarked, it will be used in the area that has the greatest need.

These funds will not overlap areas that are supported by Booster Club members, and Booster Club contribu- tions will be kept in a separate ac- count.

Groundwork is being laid to form regional alumni groups. It is felt that this move will bring the alumni closer together through greater contact with each other. It can also be an effec- tive organization for solicitation dur- ing our annual alumni fund drives. It is hoped that during the drive this fall, virtually every alumnus will be personally asked to support the alum- ni program.

Oglethorpe University has reached a point from which it is moving for- ward to become a truly great institu- tion. Through the efforts of the Board of Trustees, the faculty, the alumni, and friends of the college, progress

Problems of Education; History of the English Language; and Philosophy of Religion.

Each of these courses will be taught for five weeks ending on August 19. Additional information, for those wishing to enroll, can be obtained from Mrs. MacConnell. Call her at CEdar 3-6772 or write c/o Oglethorpe University, Oglethorpe University Sta- tion. Atlanta 19, Georgia.

McGill Charges Seniors, Klein, Jackson Win Oglethorpe Cups

Six hundred spectators, including thirty-five graduating seniors, listened in excited silence as a master of words and ideas, Ralph McGill, charged the Class of 1960 during the 85th Ogle- thorpe University commencement pro- gram.

McGill. publisher of The Atlanta Constitution, told the graduates that. "My generation needs your help in faith that law is founded on morality and that morality finds its foundation in the individual; that life does have values which sustain one in loneliness and frustration."

He added. "A people that loses its self respect, its inner faith, is easily demoralized. With such people every- thing is for sale, including themselves, their ideals, their integrity."

The baccalaureate sermon was de- livered by Bishop Costen J. Harrell. Visiting Professor in the Candler School of Theology at Emory Uni- versity.

G. Arthur Howell. Jr.. chairman of the Oglethorpe University Board of Trustees, presented several annual awards to outstanding students.

Charles O. Jackson, Jr. and Fran- cine A. Klein received the coveted James Edward Oglethorpe Cups as the man and woman who have best realized the ideals of an Oglethorpe education.

Jackson, who graduated summa cum laude, also received the Faculty Scholarship Award. Miss Klein added the LeConte Science Society Award to her honors and graduated cum

has been made in all the basic areas connected with the institution. The curriculum has been and will continue to be studied. The objectives of the college have been restated. The finan- cial operation has become more effi- cient. The student body is larger than at any time during the past twenty years. The quality of the faculty has been steadily improved until it is sec- ond to none for small colleges in the area.

The efforts of alumni and others in the past have led to the position that Oglethorpe holds today. Each of us is asked to support many worthy projects every year. May we suggest that you keep Oglethorpe in mind this fall? Continued help is needed to keep the long, black lines moving.

The Flying Petrel

BARTENFELDS HAVE RECIPE FOR LIVING

Could this be your recipe for good iving?

Take 400 acres of land 25 miles north of Atlanta, Georgia. Carefully separate the rolling, wooded tract from the bottom section. Fence bot- tom land into six pastures. Sprinkle enerously with 100 ponies and a score of dairy and beef cattle. Add I 15 acre lake stocked with bass and brim. Blend gently and top with a beautiful ranch style home overlook- ing the lake.

That is the dish created and en- joyed by Mr, and Mrs. Thomas A. Bartenfield '24/'26.

It took many years to gather the ingredients.

In July, 1924, the year Mr. Barten- eld graduated from Oglethorpe, he and a sophomore co-ed, Carol Gif- ford, were married in the Founders Room in Lupton Hall. (They will celebrate their 36th wedding anniver- sary this month.)

During the next 13 years Mr. Bar- tenfeld taught school and coached, sold insurance and cars and learned ibout electricity. "I never did find anything 1 liked," he said, "until 1 started playing with electricity."

He liked it so well that he formed the Bartenfeld Electric Company in 1937. With an office in one room of his home in the Kirkwood section of Atlanta, and with one helper, Mr. Bartenfeld grossed 525,000 in his first year of operation.

Today, the company has grown to about 25 regular employees, increas-

ing to as many as 40 during peak per- iods, and grossing S70(),000 a year.

But the business wi^rld is not the only one in which success has been met. The Bartenfelds have five child- ren — a daughter and four younger brothers — and five grandchildren.

T. A. "Gus" Bartenfeld, Jr., a graduate of the U. S. Naval Academy, is associated with Bartenfeld [£lectric. Charles, second oldest son, is in the mortgage loan department of Adams- Cates, one of the largest realty firms in Atlanta.

Turner and Jerry are studying at the University of Georgia. Turner is working for a masters degree in real estate. Jerry is a current recipient of a Dumbarton Oaks Scholarship. Only two awards of this kind are given an- nually to college juniors and seniors who are majoring in Landscape Ar- chitecture. After studying in Wash- ington, D .C. and touring the coimtry this summer under the auspices of the scholarship, Jerry will return to Geor- gia to complete his undergraduate work.

The newest addition to the Barten- feld family is Seth Thomas, Jr. He is a champion Shetland pony who was bought this spring. According to Mr. Bartenfeld, "Junior was shown 36 times and was in the money 3 1 times."

Breedmg Slietland ponies was tak- en up seriously by Mr. Bartenfeld about seven years ago. The lovable, little animals can command a surpris- ing price of 81,500 to S6,500 dollars. With the acquisition of Seth Thomas, Jr.. the Bartenfeld breeding ranch has become one of the most import- ant in the country.

Last November, at the 73rd an-

nual meeting of the American Shet- land Pony Club, Inc.. Mr. Barten- feld was elected Director from the Southeast. He is also chairman of the first Shetland Pony Club convention ever to be held in Atlanta. The three day event will take place from Octo- ber 31 to November 2.

Anonymous quotes depicting eacii senior's philosophy are printed under the appropriate pictures in the 1924 Yamacraw. Under the picture of Thomas Augustus Bartenfeld is stated, "Anything that is worth doing at all is worth doing with all your might."

That philosophy has paid off hand- somely for Mr. Bartenfeld by bring- ing him success in his business, suc- cess in his avocation and, above all, success with his family.

O. U. Rifle Coach Wins First Match

Chief of Campus Protection, Sew- ell Edwards, entered and won his first rifle match.

Mr. Edwards shot in the unclassi- fied division at a River Bend Gun Club tournament in Atlanta.

Barbara Marsh "60, a member of the Yamacraw Gun Club at Ogle- thorpe, came in third in the same con- test. She will graduate in August.

Mr. Edwards reactivated the Ogle- thorpe Gun Club two years ago. It had about 25 active members during the past year.

Reminiscing with the WENDELL BROWNS

YAMACRAVV

At this writing. Commencement, with all its tears of regret and sighs of relief, is just over. As has been the custom in the past few years, the last official act of the day was the handing out of the yearbook — the Yaniacraw — and again, a very hand- some job is the result. And well it should be considering costs. All too often those tears and sighs of the dear departing are for tlie yearbook debt still towering over head. We are as- sured that this year all is well.

Oglethorpe has been particularly fortunate in its output. These books are usually a fairly standard sort of thing — imitation tooled leather cov- er printed in gold enclosing page on page of faces and names, either singly or in groups. But somehow the Yania- craw has managed a little life, a little art. in the years since our arrival, the books of '31, '52, and '53 seem par- ticularly good. The first, under the editorship of Martha Mayson (now Bator) '51, has a burlap cover with a fine, almost abstract, line drawing of Lupton Hall. Inside all pictures were taken by Ed Bator '53, formerly a professional photographer, who, as- sisted by some talented colleagues, produced real portraits and beautiful campus views as well as plenty of candid shots that were really clear — and candid.

The next year, Ed, himself, became editor. The cover is bound in Ox- ford gray flannel (genuine, too — the moths have been into ours) with a hole cut through to show a picture on the fly leaf of Lupton doorway. More good pictures, many used in subsequent Yaniacraws we notice, and excellent art work largely by Bob Stanley '53 and Dave Fischer "53. Again in 1953, the same gang under the editorship of Jean Kast (Shelton) '53 put out a book covered with stage scenery canvass and full of their usual excellencies.

There was one time when costs and a small student body forced an aban- donment of the book, but the next year it came out as a double issue, 1947-48, not a bad job except for the quality of the printing of the pictures.

But perhaps the very most unusual Yamacraw of them all was our first, 1945. The war was just ending, costs were prohibitive, and the student body under fifty souls. We purchased scrap books, black enamelled the covers.

pasted yellow Oglethorpe stickers on them, and varnished over the whole job. George Seward. Dean Seward to johnny-come-latelies, turned his many talents to taking pictures of individ- uals and groups on the campus. Ev- eryone, faculty or student who was not completely inept helped develop and print. Then each student was giv- en an empty scrapbook and a bundle of pictures and told to go to it. Some of us did nothing at all, some of us produced indifferent but highly per- sonal volumes with all the pictures of ourselves on the first page and no picture at all of our enemies, and some made very good looking Yania- craws. Frances Templin '47 had prob- ably the most artistic work but mis- sed being the winner because she did not quite complete it. The prize, and there was a prize, went to Charles Weltner '48. It is the only time in the history of education when every student got a different yearbook.

The Flying Petrel

Dr. Agnew has just received a S2,000 check from Bo^st-.-r Club treasurer James "Mac" Hen- derson.

Among the dignitaries present were Dr. Donald C. Agnew, president and Dr. George C. Seward, vice-president of Oglethorpe, Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Milton and Mr. and Mrs. William Perkins, Oglethorpe trustees and their wives, several faculty members and the host of the evening, George Kolo- wich "43.

Mr. Kolowich is president of the Denver-Chicago Truck Lines, one of the nation's major carriers. He is president of the National Industrial Basketball League this year, and he was co-chairman of the Denver Open Golf Tournament which was held in Denver this summer.

During his short informal talk, Mr. Kolowich said, "There's a great thing about athletics. I would venture to say that not one Ail-American has had a taint of communism."

Coach Garland Pinholster, conva- lescing from his second attack of mumps, could not attend the function. He spoke, in absentia, with the aid of the tape recorder.

Coach Pinholster expressed his thanks to all who supported the Ogle- thorpe athletic program and especial- ly paid tribute to the team who "buck- led down everytime they were called to do so."

In Pinholster's absence. Dr. Martin Abbott, professor of history and mem- ber of the faculty athletic committee, presented the letters.

Receiving the big "O" were Roger Couch, Wayne Dobbs, Jay Dye, Bud- dy Goodwin, Johnny Guthrie, Sam- my Hudgins, Morris Mitchell, Bobby Nance, Tommy Norwood and Jay Rowland.

The two managers. Bob Olson and Ken Borden, were also given letters.

Trophies were presented by Dr. Agnew. The top award "Best Effort"

July, 1960

and "Best Free Throw Shooter" went to Roger Couch.

The "Best Rebounder" and "Most Tap Ins" awards went to Jay Dye. only senior on the squad.

Other trophies were earned by Dobbs, "Best Field Goal Shooter"; Goodwin, "Best Defensive Player"; and Norwood, "Most Ball Recover- ies."

Special Booster Club awards were presented by Dobbs to Mr. Kolowich and Steve Schmidt, Booster Club pres- ident, for the exceptional interest and support they have given to the ath- letic program. Similar awards were announced for Wendell Crowe and Thomas A. Bartenfeld, who were not in attendance.

L. "Pop" Crow, resident adminis- trator of the American Humanics Foundation, presented the cheerlead- ers' letters to Captain, Nancy Willi- ams, Charlotte Shirah, Pat Miller, Margaret Blank, Barbara Baughman, Amy Williams, Pat Griffin, Penny Wilson (now Loftin) and Dana Lou Howe.

Nancy Williams, Charlotte Shirah, Pat Miller, Margaret Blank, Barbara Baughman, Amy Williams, Pat Grif- fin, Penny Wilson (now Loftin) and Dana Lou Howe.

Mr. Crow, in turn, was given the "Best Faculty Fan" award, and Terry Ingerson received the "Best Student Fan" award.

The Saints, seven man pep band, received the last of the 43 awards. This group probably caused the op- posing coaches more anxieties and ulcers than anything else, with the possible exception of the Petrels on the court.

Letters were given to Dwight Bay- ley, Bob Booker, Capot Gupton, Bob Loftin, Ronnie Knopf, Jan Mundorff, Charles Teachey and Jack Warren.

PETRELS FINISH SECOND IN GIAC BASEBALL

Ihc 1960 edition of the Petrel nine came out on the top side of a 9-5 season. Down four losses out of the first five games, the Birds snapped back to take the last eight of nine contests. Included among the early season losses were two by The Citadel and one at the hands of the Auburn Tigers.

Oglethorpe was runner-up in the GIAC with an 8-2 record. Piedmont topped the conference hn the second consecutive year.

The biggest disappointment this year has been the stick work. Only four regulars managed to bat higher than .200, which makes the record all the more remarkable.

Morris Mitchell, nearly six and a half feet of natural athlete, led the team with a torrid .388 at bat. He paced the squad with 19 hits includ- ing three home runs, two triples and two doubles.

Mitchell, a left-handed first base- man, earned a berth on the mythical All-Conference team. A freshman this year, the magnificent Mitchell has the earmarks of becoming a Petrel legend on the basketball court as well as on the diamond.

Roger Couch, a junior fielder, fol- lowed Mitchell with the stick by hit- ting .302. He had 13 hits including two doubles and a triple. Couch was also runner up in the stolen bases de- partment with five.

Johnny Guthrie, the Petrels' sec- ond man on the All-Conference squad, pitched and played outfield. He allowed a meager 1 .07 earned runs per game.

Guthrie managed his bat real well, too. He stroked 13 hits in 48 at bats for a .271 average. He rapped four extra-base hits including two doubles and two homers, and he crossed the plate 12 times to top the team in that category.

Prospects for next year are encour- aging. The squad will remain intact with the exception of one graduation loss, utility man Harold Adair.

A dramatic rise in batting averages was shown in the last four games. The Birds scored 46 runs, or an aver- age of 1 1 .5 per game.

Next year the Petrels will have the advantage of a landscaped diamond from the beginning. That and an ex- perienced team make the prospects for 1961 look bright.
