ALUMNI OFFICE
HELPS ALUMNI

Though not generally known, the
Alumni Office frequently serves alum-
ni as a reference for a new position or
promotion.

Investigators from the FBI. armed
forces, civil service and industry come
to the campus often to "check-out""
an alumnus. Investigations are usually
for the more responsible positions, but
they cover a wide range of activities.

In addition to verifying an alumnus"
college academic and extra-curricular
record, investigators wish to know
about his civic and social interests, ac-
complishments and similar informa-
tion. One of the reasons a question-
aire is sent to each alumnus every three
years is to keep his file current.

Information is given discreetly only
after investigators show proper identi-
fication. This procedure eliminates our
giving information to unathorized per-
sons such as salesmen, bill collectors
or to firms simply desiring an addi-
tional mailing list.

Approved investigators are given
information verbally. They do not see
documents which contain highly per-
sonal information or items that could
embarrass an alumnus.

The Alumni Office is glad to be
able to serve you in this manner, but
it needs your help. Keep the office in-
formed of your address, and keep your
file up to date by sending news about
your honors, achievements and activi-
ties in which you take part.

If you have a suggestion that will
make the Alumni Office more valuable
to you, please let us know about it.

YOUR PRESIDENT'S
MESSAGE

By the time this reaches you, this
administration will have almost com-
pleted its term in office. We are elated
over the response to the Forward Og-
lethorpe Fund campaign ~ over
S22,000 contributed toward the goal
of S27,000. Over 600 loyal alumni
have shown their faith in their alma
mater compared with 356 last year.

The testimonial breakfast, honor-
ing Drs. Jarrell and Collins during
the GEA meeting, was a magnificent
affair. Two hundred and sixty alumni
were enthusiastic in their attendance.

The annual Fall Dinner-Dance was
a delightful occasion held at the Hel-
lenic Center. That is a time when
Alumni have an opportunity to re-
new old friendships and recall their
memorable days at Oglethorpe.

Oglethorpe University is having a
wonderful year as it basks in well-de-
served recognition. Much publicity
was earned by the Petrel basketball
team which represented our region in
the NAIA tournament in Kansas City.

Yet, there are some alumni whom
we have failed to reach. As Church-
hill stated so eloquently. "Never in
the field of human conflict was so
much owed by so many to so few."
Those few in our field are the ones
who remained close to Oglethorpe
during the lean years. What can we
do to really convince you that the
best investment in our country's
future is an investment in the schools,
in particular our alma mater, that edu-
cate the future citizens of our great
nation?

If some question remains, or some
doubt lingers that causes you to hes-
titate to help Oglethorpe, please talk
to us. We need the support of each
and every alumnus in order that our
college can continue to move rapidly
towards the position it should occupy.

If you have not already done so,
won't you demonstrate your support
by sending a check today?

Finally, don't miss the Alumni Day
spectacular May 13th!

Sincerely,

O.K. Sheffield, Jr., President

The Development Corner

by
Norman B. Thomson
Development Director

During the six months I have been
priviledged to work with the Trustees,
Administrative Officers, Faculty,
Alumni and Friends of Oglethorpe, I
have been impressed by the statement,
oft repreated; "I hear good things of
Oglethorpe"

In New York, Chicago, Philadel-
phia, Washington, the Carolinas,
Florida, Alabama, Tennesee, through-
out Georgia, our alumni have eviden-
ced their confidence in Oglethorpe's
future with gifts that make possible the
building of a foundation of a greater
Oglethorpe.

Plans are being made for a student
body numbering 800, twice our pre-
sent enrollment. To adequately house
and instruct the growing student body,
we must expand our physical facilities.
Our unfolding plans call for a library,
a science building, a student center,
and housing facilities for 400 students
on the campus.

On May 13th, Alumni Day, a model
of the future campus will be on dis-
play. Alumni will be pleased with
what they see and hear when they
return and mingle with their former
classmates. Hunderds of Alumni -
from the day of World War I Ogle-
thorpe Cadets in 1917 to last years
graduates - will be on hand. Alumni
Day will see the greatest outpouring
of the sons and daughters of Ogle-
thorpe in the University's history.

At the present time a Development
Committee of 101 is being gathered to
spearhead our efforts in expansion.
Virgil W. Milton, '30 our Chairman
of the Board of Trustees, is chairman
of the Development Committee. His
vice-chairman is R. E. "Red"
Dorough, so well known to Oglethorpe
Alumni of the past forty years. These
two understanding, agressive business
leaders know how to "crack the whip."

The "Development Corner" will be
a regular feature of following issues
of the Flying Petrel and will relate the
unfolding story of the progress of your
Development Committee. The first
meeting of the Committee will be held

GARSON, DOROUGH
NAMED TO O.U. BOARD

Two members were added to the
Oglethorpe Board of Trustees on Og-
lethorpe Day, February 14. Arthur
Garson "28, President of the Lovable
Brassiere Co., and R. E. "Red""
Dorough. owner of Dorough Realty
Co. in Buckhead, were named to the
Llniversity"s to pgoverning body.

After graduating from Oglethorpe
in 1928 at the age of 14, Mr. Garson
joined his father"s young and strug-
gling clothing firm. For the next 13
years, he devted himself to his bus-
iness, opening up a sales office in Nev\
Yord City when he was nineteen. The
Lovable Brassier Co. is now the ack-
nowledged leader in its' field.

Mr. Garson is on the Board of Dir-
ectors of several social, welfare and
charitable institutions. In his spare
time, he studies Russian, Japanses and
Spanish.

Mr. Dorough will be remembered
fondly by alumni of the twenties as
proprietor of one of the favorite Pet-
rel hangouts in Buckhead into a major
business center in Metropolitan At-
lanta. He is unofficially called the
Mayor of Buckhead.

Mr. Dorough is a charter member
of the Buckhead Fifty Club and Buck-
head Elks. He also helds memberships
in the Civitans, Masons and Shriners.
Currently, he is serving as chairman
of the Fulton County Welfare Board
and chairman of the Fulton County
Jury Commission.

The Board has been greatly streng-
thened witii the additions of these new
members.

WE GET LETTERS

The success of any event or program
is basically the result of the support-
ing spirit of people behind it. The
Forward Oglethorpe Fund, with re-
cord shattering contributions and don-
ors this year, has caught on.

The following excerpts are taken
from a few of tiie scores of letters and
notes written to Howard Axelberg,
Chairman of the Fund. They bear out
the tremendous upsurge of spirit
among Oglethorpe"s former students.

"Glad to hear from you and that
much progress is being made at our
old school. Keep the good work up,
and tell the otiier fellows there 'hello"
for me."" - M. N. "Knoxic"' Jones '40,
Blackville, South Carolina.

"Happy to see Ogletiiorpe doing
such fine things. Please add this to
complete my pledge. Wish it could be
niucii more." - Martha G. Likins '54.
24 Hamilton Street, Worcester, Mass.

"Am enclosing check for the For-
ward Oglethorpe Fund. Wishing you
much success in your efforts for Oule-
thorpe." Luther D. Wright "27, 1700
Rogers Ave., S. W., Atlanta 10, Ga.

"You probably remember us. I was
in the post office for thirteen years.
We are now living on our Indiana
farm. My husband is past eighty, so
we do not farm. We have many happy
memories of the University, and are
interested in all the news."" - Charlotte
S. Alward, Bert E. Alward "33, King-
man, Indiana.

"1 am so sorry this is late, but I
am interested in Oglethorpe. If I can
help in any way, let me know". - Clare
Findley Magbee "56 2636 Cheshire
Bridge Rd., Atlanta, Georgia.

"I am delighted that Oglethorpe has
someone to help. Frankly, I"d like to
see my alma mater rise in every res-
pect . . . also I was so glad to start re-
ceiving some mail from Oglethorpe.
It"s nice to know it"s still there." Reva
Murphy Greene '41, 4424 Blackburn

DRS. JARRELL, COLLINS
FETED BY 260

Two Oglethorpe alumni, who have probably advanced Georgia education more
than any others during this century, were honored on March 24 at the Oglethorpe
Alunmi Breakfast. Alumni and friends numbering 260 turned out at 8 a.m. to
pay just tribute to Oglethorpe's illustrious alumni, Drs. Ira Jarrell '28 and M. D.
Collins '31.

Oglethorpe President, Dr. Donald C. Agnew, presented each with a hand
bell with the engraving" . . . distinguished alumnus in the field of education."

tion, including classes for homebound
and hospitalized students, special edu-
cation programs for the mentally and
physically handicapped, superior stu-
dent programs, and opportunities for
adults interested in elementary, sec-
ondary and vocational studies.

Atlanta is one of the leading systems
providing outside school teaching aids.
A science room at the new Atlanta
zoo, a planetarium, museum, educa-
tional radio and television stations are
all available to aid the classroom tea-
cher.

Dr. C. S. Hubbard, Assistant State
Superintendent of Schools, and Mrs.
S. C. Patterson, Coordinator of the
State Scholarship Program and former
GEA President, lauded Dr. Collins.

Dr. Collins has spent a lifetime of
teaching and preaching to the people
of Georgia. His career has reached
from the one-room, one-teacher school
at Old Liberty in Union County where
he taught for S22.50 a month to ser-
ving for 25 years as State Superinten-
dent of Schools of Georgia.

He has seen many progressive steps
made in the Georgia educational pro-

O. K. Sheffield '53, President of the
Alumni Association, was Master of
Ceremonies, and Rev. W. P. "Biil" Al-
lison '33 gave grace. After a delicious
breakfast, several speakers spoke brief-
ly about the notable achievements and
personal characteristics of Miss Jarrell
and Dr. Collins.

Devereaux F. McClatchey, Atlanta
Attorney and former President of the
Atlanta Board of Education, and Dr.
Paul D. West '25, Superintendent of
the Fulton County School System,
described the dramatic changes which
took place in Atlanta education during
Miss Jarrell's terms of office.

Atlanta schools doubled from 77 to
144 and enrollment jumped to 1 15,000
from 56,000 during her 16 years as
Superintendent. Teachers' salaries were
equalized from the former unfair base
which was determined by color, and
the grade teachers taught, rather than
on the bases of adequate training and
experience.

Many programs were introduced
that provided educational opportuni-
ties to students unable to attend school
or ill suited to regular school instruc-

Dr. Collins and Dr. Jar-
rell ring their bells
"loud and long" as Dr.
Agnew watches at the
climax of the highly
successful Oglethorpe
Alumni Breakfast.

TELL THE WORLD
ABOUT YOU
AND OGLETHORPE

News about Oglethorpe and her
alumni can be likened to the infinite
images seen when two mirrors are
placed facing each other.

The greater the stature of Ogle-
thorpe in the eyes of the community,
the greater the admiration will be for
Oglethorpe's alumni, the greater will
be the stature of Oglethorpe ad infini-
tum.

When former students receive public
recognition for promotions, achieve-
ments and other noteworthy items,
they can help themselves and their
alma mater by insisting that mention
be made in announcements of their
undergraduate education at Oglethorpe
University

Items of this kind are seen daily
in newspapers. If all alumni would
follow this suggestion, they would rein-
force each other.

Think now, don't you feel a little
differently about someone after learn-
ing they are a graduate of Harvard,
Yale or Princeton? Why shouldn't Og-
lethorpe's graduates deserve the same
impressions?

With your help and with continued
efforts at Oglethorpe to improve edu-
cational excellence, this shall be ac-
complished.

gram some of which are the Minimum
Foundation program, a state teacher's
salary schedule, nine months school
term, teacher retirement system, free
textbooks, expanded vocational educa-
tion, audio-visual and library services,
program for exceptional children, in-
structional supervisors, hot school
lunches, vocational rehabilitation, visit-
ing teachers, the twelfth grade, state
trade and vocational schools and the
200 million dollar building program.

When Dr. Agnew presented each of
the honored guests with a "modern
version of the 'School Marm' hand
bell," he said the bells were symbolic
of the courage, unselfishness and com-
plete dedication epitomized by the
school marm and shown, through their
achievements, by Dr. Ira Jarrell and
Dr. M. D. Collins.

REMINISCING WITH THE
WENDELL BROWNS

The Oglethorpe Clock

Periodically in the school paper and
in the Atlanta papers appears a story
about the Oglethorpe bells. There is
something about these great extroverts
with their loud intrusions every fifteen
minutes that seems to fascinate writers.
But so far as we know, no one has
mentioned the brains and power be-
hind these voices — the clock.

The clock was here before the bells
and before our time, how long we do
not know; and has been the source of
more orderliness and confusion than
even the students. Day and night it
goes on, telling the bell when and how
much to toll and starting the weights
to furnish the power, as well as giving
the time on two faces and turning on
and off the lights that illuminate both
faces and campus. It is regulated by
an iron pendulum at the end of a four-
foot wooden arm. And herein lies the
trouble. Most tower clocks have a
much longer arm, often compensated
for changes in temperature. But Geor-
gia's fluctuating weather plays havoc
with our regulator and our time.

When we first came. Dr. Burroughs
was keeper of the clock. Every morn-
ing, long before the first classes, he
arrived, climbed the steep wooden
stairs of the tower, pulled out his fat
pocket watch, and set the clock for
the day. We did not know that this was
the secret of the clock's success. When
he left, with dire misgivings, and those
jacks-of-all-trades, George Seward
and ourselves, were left with a respon-
sibility we did not know existed, things
began to happen. Classes late, students
late, everything and everybody on a
different schedule. For some reason we
were not blamed; instead the onus
went to our colleague, and Seward
Standard Time became the joke of the
day. Once a poem in the style of Chau-
cer celebrated the confusion, and even
after things were again in hand, no one
trusted the time for years to come.

The clock has figured in more im-
portant affairs than late classes. Its
street face formed a perfect target for
an Oglethorpe student who later went
on to gain recognition as Georgia's
Number One criminal. The bullet
holes were still there when we arrived.
Perhaps its most glamorous role was
in the Refoule murder case. Here, the
verdict hinged on whether the suspect

giddy. We are happy to report that
the Oglethorpe Clock saved its own.

A warm handshake after Dr. Agnew dedi-
cated "Luther Drive" in honor of George
Luther '32. Mr. Luther has contributed many
services to Oglethorpe during the last few
years including the major grading of the base-
ball field and improvement and widening of
the road in front of the Field House, now his
namesake.

ENROLLMENT WILL RISE
IN THE FALL

Freshmen entering Oglethorpe next
fall well be in greater abundance and
have higher academic qualifications
than their predecessors.

An aggressive student recruitment
program, headed by field represen-
tative Mike Murphy "54 and alumni
who are directing many good and
superior students to Oglethorpe, are
responsible for the upsurge in interest
among high school students.

Most of the freshmen will have to
commute because of the severe short-
age of dormitory spaces. Recruitment
of women students who would have
to room on campus was halted before
Christmas because of this limitation.
Acceptance of men boarding students
has virtually stopped.

In spite of the shortage of space,
alumni should continue to encourage
the better students to apply for admis-
sion in succeeding years. Graduating
classes are getting larger, and the gra-
duates have to be replaced. Also, it
is hoped that our planned building
program will begin to take a concrete
form soon.

BASEBALL PETRELS
UNDEFEATED

Oglethorpe's athletes removed their
shorts and donned knickerbockers
without losing a step. This amazing
feat occurred when virtually every
member of the basketball squad
changed into baseball uniforms and
promptly won their first three ball
games.

Johnny Guthrie, with a two inning
assist from Tom Norwood, dropped
William Jewell College from Missouri
7-0 in the season's opener. The follow-
ing day, Bobby Dalgleish held the vis-
itors 4-1. The second game featured a
pitching duel between Dalgleish and
Jewell's top pitcher, who had been ail-
ing, but was flown from Missouri ex-
pressly for that tilt.

In the lucky seventh of the latter
game. Tom Norwood smacked a single
followed by a 370 foot home run by
Morris Mitchell. It was the first four
bagger over the new ball park fence.

Led by fast ball, though somewhat
erratic pitching by Tom Norwood,
Oglethorpe ended a drought of many
years by defeating Piedmont College
6-3. Again, Mitchell connected for a
round trip with a man on base. Later,
Norwood helped his cause with a
homer of his own just inside the left
field foul line. He hit the pitch thrown
immediately after a near bean ball.

Coach Pinholster, never known to
use the crying towel in his predictions,
said, "If we don't have a good baseball
team this year, we need a new coach.
We have each position covered better
than before, and my four lead-off hit-
ters are the best anywhere around."

A tight infield is building up a cred-
itable number of double plays. Pinhol-
ster is still doing some reshuffling, but
the lastest line up has Mitchell at first;
Dobbs, second base; Guthrie, short
stop; and Ken Borden, third base. Jay
Rowland played third in the first two
games.

Oreon Mann, son of former Atlanta
Cracker owner Earl Mann '28, is team
manager.

For really fine baseball, check the
baseball schedule on this page, and
come see the Petrels play.

Since this article was written
two more games were won. See
Baseball Schedule.

Varsity Tennis Returns
To Oglethorpe

Varsity tennis is back in the Ogle-
thorpe program after a three year ab-
sence. The first of eight scheduled
matches has been played as of this
writing and the Petrels downed Emory
-at-Oxford SVi to V/2.

Top seeded Oglethorpe netman is
Peruvian Hernando Pantigoso. A na-
tive of Lima, Peru, he was National
Junior Tennis Champion when he was
14. He gave up tennis after he was
15 and concentrated on soccer. Last
year he was selected to the Peru Olym-
pic Squad, but declined the invitation
to come to Oglethorpe. Soccer will
become the next intercollegiate sport
at Oglethorpe next year. Pantigoso
took first match 6-1, 6-2.

Others on the team are Gary Mul-
vannah; Bob Mallis, Savannah; Dan
Cowart, Arlington; and Bob Nance,
Dalton.

William H. Cohen, Assistant Pro-
fessor of English, is coaching the team.
In his evaluation of the squad, he said,
"Generally, they are pretty hard work-
ers. They've been playing all winter
with the exception of Nance who play-
ed basketball. Mullins and Eiseman
have improved their games tremen-
dously."

He added, "We should beat Shorter
and Emory-at-Oxford again, and we
have a good chance of taking the rest
of the teams."

The last match of the season is plan-
ned for Alumni Day, Saturday, May
13 at 9:00 A. M.

Petrels Downed in KC
"Wait Til Next Year"
Says Pinholster

Fourth seeded Oglethorpe got short
shrift in Kansas City. Unseeded Peru
State of Nebraska knocked the stiff
legged Petrels out of the running 72-
65 on the first day of the NAIA tour-
nament.

Oglethorpe's redheaded mentor.
Garland Pinholster, immediately gave
the warning, "Wait 'til next year," and
they had better believe it. He learns
his lessons well.

Last year, Oglethorpe's basketball
team ended up fourth in a four team
play-off in Tampa, Fla. This season,
the Petrels went all the way, beating
two squads represented last year.

Graduation will pare four men from
the teams, Wayne Dobbs, Sammy
Hudgins, Buddy Goodwin and Roger
Couch, but replacements are already
in the fold.

Darrell Whitford is a 6"3" guard
from Silver Grove, Ky.. Goodwin's
hometown. Whitford was named to the
AU-SEC junior conference team in
I960 as a result of his play with Brew-
ton-Parker Junior College. Pinholster
feels he is virtually unstoppable on of-
fense, and he plays defense well.

Ray Thomas, a straight "A" student
at Cedartown High School, was named
AA "Player of the Year." He used his
6'3V2" frame at forward, but he will
probably play guard for Oglethorpe.
He also shares the Georgia doubles
champion crown in tennis this year.

"Very coachable" Billy Parker is
president of the Newnan High School
student body. He stands 6'5" tall and
will play forward.

Pinholster said, "I'm excited about
the possibilities of this whole ball club.
Mitchell, Nance and Sexton, all young,
were the best shooters this year."

Note to the members of the Petrel
Watchers Club: Make your reserva-
tions for Kansas City early.

BOOSTERS GLOW WITH PRIDE

The Oglethorpe Athletic Booster Club approaches the end ol .mother season
with a glow of pride.

Oglethorpe's basketball team has concluded its finest season - - twii tourna-
ment championships and a bertii in the national small college tourney at Kansas
City had been won. Our stature in sports has grown tremendously as can be
shown in the more than fifty pages of clippings whicii adorn our official scrap-
book.

Stronger opposition is on tap for next season - - teams of national reputation.
We view our games, on campus again, in a field house second to none. Coacii
Pinholster has been named "Coacli of the Year" kn the third time in four years.
We glow with pride!

Boosters have contributed almost S*-), 000. 00 - - 75 percent of our goal for
the year. The Board of Trustees recently approved an increase, from nine to ten,
in the number of atiiletic grants. In honoring our request for this action, they
have challenged us to a new goal of .SI4,.'i()0.()(.). We have more and better Boos-
ters than ever before, some of them did not attend Oglethorpe - - they just like our
brand of spirit. Every Booster should be proud!

However, we take greatest pride in the quality of the young men we scholar-
ship.

Boost the undefeated Petrel baseball team at the Alumni Day game.
Sincerely,

Steve Schmidt, President
Oglethorpe Booster Club

ODE TO THE PETRELS

B\ Terry Ka\

Reprinted iciih permission jrom
the Decatur-DeKalb, News. Thurs-
day. Mar. 16. 1961

(Written in honor of the Stormy Pet-
rels of Oglethorpe University and their
victory in the NAIA District 25 Tour-
nament, entitling them to go to Kan-
sas City for the Nationals on March
13-18)

Fly high you gallant Petrel bird!
You've earned your niche in fame.
From nest to roost to flights unheard.
You fought and won your game!

They jeered at you when you began.
And snickered at your dream.
The\ spoke in jest from man to man.
And laughed to hear your scheme.

But you, believing, spread your wings
And hushed the doubtful crowd.
You rose to dare the reigning kings
And stand among the proud.

They say that Fortune comes and goes
And never comes again;
That Lady Luck, in passing, shows
No other chance to men.

But dumb are they who live by creed
And think that work is luck.
They fall — and fallen never heed
They only had to duck.

But you have learned to watch and

wait
And play each turn on turn;
To dodge the fickle hand of Fate
And make each gamble earn.

So soar in grandeur. Petrel bird.
You worked to get your name!
From nest to roost to flights unheard,
You're flvins now with Fame!

MITCHELL, NORWOOD
NAMED "ALL-STATE"

Two Oglethorpe players were se-
lected to the mythical All-State Basket-
ball Team by Atlanta Newspapers,
Inc. sports staffs.

IVlorris Mitchell, a 6'6" sophomore
center, is the only second year man to
be placed in the first five. Tom Nor-
wood, in his third year as first string
guard, was included in the second five.
Jay Dye '60 was named to the All-
State starting five last year.

If new and returning players shape
up to their potential. Oglethorpe could
have three or four men win this honor
next year.

April, 1961

1960-61 PETRELS,
BEST EVER

Past records notwithstanding, the
1960-61 Oglethorpe basketball team
was probabfy the finest in the history
of the college.

The 20-4 season record was over-
shadowed bv Petrel teams of 1958-59
(24-1) and '1946-47 (23-4). but the
opposition this season was somewhat
toughter than in previous campaigns.

Consider the fact that Oglethorpe
lost to Stetson University 44-39
shortly after the Hatters defeated
Miami which was ranked tenth na-
tionally. Later in the 25th District
NAIA tournament, the Petrels de-
feated Stetson 81-68 for the champion-
ship.

Oglethorpe also defeated the Uni-
versity of Tampa 82-65, a team that
led third ranked Bradley for most of
their ball game until Bradley "ran
them off the floor" during the latter
stages of the game.

Finally, the Petrel record this year,
with heavy consideration on the quality
of opponents, caused Oglethorpe's
team to be seeded fourth nationally
among the small college teams in the
NAIA Kansas City tournament, a
ranking no other Petrel basketball
team has enjoyed.
