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

business, see the Petrels win another
baseball game, and try their best to
consume all of the food at the smor-
gasbord dinner. Food had been pre-
pared for 450 people.

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

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-

T. A. Bartenfeld
shows his champion

Mr. and Mrs. Bartenfeld chat at ertry way
of their ranch style homee.

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.

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.

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.

student from Munich stay with them
during August.

Albert D. "Fish" Herring '27 says
he has a new nickname. He is now
called "Blue." He lives in Green-

Leila B. Lindsey '27 circled the
globe in the spring. She left Atlanta
accompanied by members of the
American Institute of Decorators after
Homecoming Day and returned about
June 10. The group traveled to many
countries by air and included in their
sight seeing tours the study of interior
decoration in each country.

Earl Mann '28 is again associated
with the Coca-Cola Co. It was through
his former association with the soft
drink firm that he acquired the At-

Ponce de Leon Park in 1949.

Dr. Ira Jarrell '28 retiring superin-
tendent of the Atlanta school system,
was presented with an engraved silver
tray by the Atlanta Cerebral Palsy
Center. A Center spokesman pointed
out that Miss Jarrell made it possible
for the first teachers to be made avail-
able to the Center.

L. Marvin Rivers '28, valedictorian
of the Class of 1928, has been re-
appointed to a five-year term on the
Fulton County Board of Education.
His appointment was made in a spec-
ial presentment returned by the Ful-
ton County Grand Jury. Rivers, whose
previous term expired April 30, has
been on the board since 1952. He
was named then to an unexpired term
which ended in 1955. He was reap-
pointed to a full five-year term in

Alumni Directory Planned

An alumni directory is being plan-

The "Oglethorpe University Who's
Who" questionnaire which you have
received is a part of this enterprise.
Get your questionnaire completed and
returned, if you have not already done
so. We want the information about
you to be correct.
