L. F. MONTGOMERY GIVES
O. U. MEMORIAL GIFT

L. F. Montgomery, chairman of tiie
Board of Directors of the Atlanta Coca
Cola Bottling Co., presented Ogle-
thorpe University with a memorial gift
of 515,000 in July. It is in memory of
his wife, Jeannette Lowndes. The gift
was designated for payment of the field
house bleachers which were installed
last year.

Steve Schmidt '40, who had discuss-
ed this project at length with Mr.
Montgomery, received the gift on be-
half of Oglethorpe.

Mr. Montgomery is a former mem-
ber of Oglethorpe's Board of Trus-
tees— a post he held for several years
during the late forties. He was a trustee
when several groups of distinguished

Anything for Alumni — The sun rose brightly on Alumni Day, but torrential rains during the
four previous days left the baseball diamond somewhat damp. Quick thinking Coach Pinholster
ordered the pictured helicopter. It hovered over the infield for forty-five minutes and dried it
out sufficiently so that the Petrels could play a double-header with the Citadel.

Howard G. Axelberg "40 was elect-
ed unanimously president of the Na-
tional Alumni Assn. Mr. Axelberg, vice
president of Atlanta based advertising
firm Filler, Neal, Battle & Lindsey,
provided strong leadership last year as
chairman of the Forward Oglethorpe
Fund.

Mr. Axelberu is supported by Sam
Hirsch '50, Phil Hildreth '34 and
Elmer George '40 in their capacities
of first, second and third vice presi-
dents, respectively Betty Villepas '4Q
returned to the Board, "after a years
absence, as secretary. Martin Sterling
"36 succeeded himself as treasurer.

O. K. Sheffield, immediate past
president, assumed the chairmanship of
the Board. The expanded Board of
Directors include Joseph R. Murphy,
'20, Wayne S. Traer '28, Mrs. Mary
Walker "34, Harry P. Wren "34, Mrs.
Tommie Carper "37. Francis Key "38,
Mrs. Mary Asher "43, Louis Wuichet
"59, and 1961-62 president of the
Oglethorpe student body, Russell
Eisenman "62.

Weather-wise, Alumni Day 1961
was ideal. The sun rose bright on a
nearly cloudless sky. A slight breeze
wafted over the campus throughout the
day, and before dusk, a delicious cool-
ness settled on the smorgasbord area.

People-wise it was better. Hundreds
of alumni visited the campus, and class
representation was better balanced than
on any Alumni Day in recent years.
For example, five members of the
class of "20 were present.

Since, Alumni Day, your officers
and directors have met twice in month-
ly meetings. The organization of the
years activities have been completed
and many arrangements are underway.

A THING CALLED PRIDE

There's a thing called pride. Witii-
out it a person doesn't amount to much.
Pride in family, pride in job, pride in
possession, pride in accomplishment is
the thing that makes life worth living.
Pride is what makes us all a little better
than we think we can be. And pride is
what makes a school great.

1 wish you could see the pride the
students have for Oglethorpe Uni-
versity. They are proud of their athletic
teams, and that pride has made the
teams better than they are, because the
players feel it, too. They are proud of
their campus and the campus
warrants pride. They keep it
far prettier than when you and I were
in school. They are proud of the
faculty, and that's understandable be-
cause Oglethorpe has one of the finest
faculties of any school in the country.
And the students are proud of their
school because Oglethorpe University

of today is a bustling, growing, proud
institution.

I wonder if you realize just how big
a part the alumni — you — have played
in helping to establish this pride that
is so evident at Oglethorpe. You have
a far greater part than you think. Your
contributions — monetary and other-
wise— have been wonderful.

And, speaking of pride, when the
Forward Oglethorpe Fund goal was set
for last year (which, incidentally, was
three and a half times more than the
preceding year) the trustees said the
alumni wouldn't do it. We said you
would, and you sure made those of us
who work actively with the Alumni
Association proud. And like I said, a
job isn't worth doing unless you have
pride.

educators studied Oglethorpe's cur-
riculum. At the time, it was unique.
According to Mr. Montgomery, it
evoked the consensus comment, "There
is no finer college anywhere in the
United States than Oglethorpe".

Active in many major Atlanta civic
projects, Mr. Montgomery is perhaps
most proud of his part in setting up
the first pathological laboratory at
Henry Grady Hospital.

When visiting the field house,
alumni will see the bronze plaque,
mounted on the front, which acknow-
ledges his generous and thoughtful
memorial iiift.

"Muggsy" Smith '28 Seeks
Atlanta Mayorality

M. M. "Muggsy" Smith '28, now
serving his eighth two-year term as a
member of the House of Representa-
tives from Fulton County, has an-
nounced his candidacy for Mayor of
Atlanta, His first test, and the impor-
tant one, will take place in the Sep-
tember 13 primary. Winner of the
primary is virtually assured of the
election.

Representative Smith's platform in-
cludes a new Atlanta auditorium, stad-
ium, rapid transit, urban renewal,
slum clearance, completion of the Ex-
pressway, a larger voice for Atlanta in
State government, reapportionment of
the State Legislature to give urban
counties more strength, tax relief, and
direct grants from the State to cities
from taxes on gasoline, cigarets and
the sales tax.

Mr. Smith lettered in football, bas-
ketball, baseball and tennis at Ogle-
thorpe, After leaving Oglethorpe, he
spent nine years with General Motors,
He then founded the highly successful
Muggsy Smith Agency of the Travelers
Insurance Co., which he has owned
and operated for 23 years,

The Flying Petrel

The Development Corner

By Norman B. 1 homson
Director of Development

The pressing need for operating casli
in most universities and colleges has
influenced them to adopt crash pro-
grams for immediate dollars. In doing
so, they have lost sight of long-range
needs and objectives.

Oglethorpe, through the years, has
constantly felt the press of immediate
dollars and overlooked the significance
of stimulating the very area which,
historically, has made institutions
financially strong.

Studies in money sources for col-
leges show that 80'; of the assets of
such institutions have come from de-
ferred gifts such as bequests under wills
and living trusts. If, during the past
twenty years, Oglethorpe had been ac-
tively seeking wills and trusts, the as-
sets of our Alma Mater today would
have been multiplied many times.

At the first meeting of the Develop-
ment Committee held this Spring. Mr.
Richard Loughborough. Trust Officer
of the Fulton National Bank in At-
lanta, stated that he was aware of
S3,(KK),0()0 ear-marked for Oglethorpe
in the Trust Department of his bank.

Last week a trust officer of the Na-
tional Bank of Atlanta reported that
one of the wills recently filed with his
bank included a gift to Oglethorpe of
several hundred thousand dollars.
Several of our alumni in responsible
positions as attorneys, certified public
accountants and bankers mention the
privilege of tax-saving gifts to Ogle-
thorpe when discussing carefully inte-
grated, modern estate plans with their
clients.

The income from endowment in-
vestments makes possible a top-flight
faculty. It provides fully-equipped
facilities for study and research for
carefully selected students. Alumni and
friends of Oglethorpe, who are active
in stimulating such gifts, are rendering
a service of manificent proportion to
the University.

The Development Office will be glad
to work with prospective donors whose
estates are in excess of S5U.()()0. We
will indicate definite areas in Ogle-
thorpe's future where gifts will serve a
three-fold purpose; I ) present the do-
nor with an estate plan in which he
can have more spendable income dur-
ing his life, 2 1 enable him to provide
for greater financial protection for his
family, and 3) provide for an eventual
memorial gift to Oglethorpe.

STUDENT DEMAND PUSHES
OGLETHORPE'S FACILITIES

"It's the biggest summer school en-
rollment that I can remember," said
Mrs. Marjorie MacConnell. Ogle-
thorpe's registrar.

Mrs. MacConnell. ten scars in her
present position, was referriiig to the
552 warm-weather students wlio flock-
ed to Oglethorpe this summer. They
included regular Oglethorpe students,
transient students, in-service teachers
and high school students taking re-
fresher courses in English and math.

The preference for an Oglethorpe
education is increasing. This fall, en-
rollment is expected to top 400, up
from 361 last year. Classroom and
library space is at a premium, and
apartments adjacent to the campus
have been rented to add room for
women who wish to live at college.

A women's residence hall is urgently
needed. It is hoped that a new one will
be available for use in the fall of 1462.

Harrison Jonss, lor-
mer chairman of the
board of the Coca Cola
Company and host of
Oqlethorpe University's
first devalopment com-
mittee dinner meeting,
chats with Dr. Agnew
and James Sibley, Ogle-
thorpe trustee. Mr.
Jones has been a prime
mover of many out-
standing civic improve-
ments in Atlanta during
this century. At the
meeting he indicated a
renewed interest in
Oglethorpe's move to-
v/ard greatness.

OGLETHORPE ADDS
FACULTY, STAFF

A growing Oglethorpe requires an
increase in faculty and staff. As Fhe
Flying Petrel goes to press, five faculty
members and one staff officer have
been added for the l'-)61-62 year.

Of the five teachers, three are full
lime including Dr. Robert J. Boxer.
Assistant Professor of Chemistry.
Thomas W. Chandler, Jr., Librarian
and Assistant Professor, and Mrs.
Elaine G. Dancey. Instructor of
English.

Ralph L. Carnes, philosophy, and
Grady L. Randolph. histor\. will serve
as visiting teachers.

Stanley F. Pitcher, retired vice presi-
dent of the Railway Express Agency,
assumed the office of Business Man-
ager in July.

Still sought are faculty members in
the areas of economics and education.

REMINISCING WITH THE
WENDELL BROWNS

THE POPULATION EXPLOSION

At the present writing, the Admis-
sions Office is working overtime to
handle applications, place worthy pros-
pects, say "no' in a gentle voice, and —
survive.

Oglethorpe has been hit, along
with'other colleges, by the Baby Boom.
Rumor has it that the starting number
will be better than four hundred. If this
is so, the finishing number will be con-
siderably less taking into account
those who will be trampled to death
in the halls. The dormitories are full;
girls who had to have space have been
turned down for some months.

Time was when no such problems
beset us. At our arrival in 1944, of the
seven buildings now on the campus,
three did not exist, and, during that
year, we occupied only two of the
others, the present Hearst and Lupton
Halls. Lupton then, as now housed the
administration offices and the library.
The second floor had classrooms; the
third was empty, Hearst, then called
the Administration Building, had its
name changed to Arts, because we set
up a gallery on the first floor. Actually
there were more chemistry labs there,
unused, than anything else. The second
and third floors were our dormitories
— four boys and a house mother on
the second and four girls with some
bats and a stray owl on the third.
Lowry was unoccupied, and Faith was
a shambles from a recent fire.

School started with thirty-five stu-
dents, at least they said they were stu-
dents, but ten changed their minds by
Christmas, leaving perhaps (and we
hope) the all-time low of twenty five
to sit under eight faculty members.

The next year there were fifty, most
of whom stayed on. And the third year,
when enrollment approached a hun-
dred, we remember a complaint from
Joe Brown '49, "The place is just get-
ting too large. It's lost that cozy family
quality it used to have."

And it continued to. Back came the
G.I.'s. A temporary barracks was
moved from old Fort Lawson to make
boys' dormitory space along with the
third floor of Lupton and the second
and third floors of Lowry. The girls
occupied all of Arts above the first
floor. A temporary chemistry building
was donated by the government. The
enrollment climbed above two hundred
and approached the peak we desired,
285, all we could reasonably handle.

ALUMNI MEET IN ALBANY iiftarri^^ .

On April 11, Hoyt D. Edge '27.
president of the C & S National Bank
of Albany, introduced President Agnew
at the first Albany area alumni meet-
ing in several years.

Hugh Mitchell '52 served as ar-
rangements chairman for the dinner
meeting. Eighteen persons attended the
event which was held at the James
Rivers Motel.

Dr. Agnew gave an informal "State
of the College" report including ac-
complishments of Oglethorpe in re-
cent years and plans for the future.
More meetings of this kind are being
planned for the coming year.

In attendance were Mr. & Mrs.
Edge, Coach Frank Anderson, Frank
Anderson, Jr. '32, Wm. J. Boswell '20,
Garnett E. Butt '34, John W. Crouch
'29, Miss Bertha Faircloth '40, Dr. &

But things slackened off; we were back
under two hundred during much of the
fifties.

Then slowly, three years ago, the
war babies started. They are still com-
ing. And there are even more post-
war babies than there are war babies.
Yes, Joe, if these are its children, Ogle-
thorpe is getting to be a sizable family.

PETREL NINE
DISTRICT CHAMPS

The 1461 edition of the Storms Pe-
trel baseball team posted one of the
best won-lost records in Oglethorpe's
history with a 14-3 chart. The effort
was good enough to give the Petrels
the NAIA 25th district championsiiip.
a duplication of the basketball team's
achievement.

While a solid team performance was
evident throughout most of the year,
Tom Norwood was the stickout per-
former. Norwood played in every game
as pitcher or short stop or both. He led
the hurlers with six wins and one loss,
and socked a fabulous .491 with the
stick. Fast, and somewhat erratic, Nor-
wood struck out 56 batters while walk-
ing 50. He set the team pace in runs
(26) and hits (32) and came in second
in doubles (5), home runs (6| and
stolen bases (9).

He has had many offers to play
professional ball since his high school
days, but Tom has wisely decided to
complete his college education first.
He will be a senior next year. After
graduation, he may decide to give pro
ball a flang.

Bobby Dalgleish. southpaw pitcher
and center fielder, won 5 games and
lost two. He followed Norwood in bat-
ting with .394. including 24 runs. 26
hits, seven doubles, one triple and one
homer. He also led in stolen bases with
10. The Petrel pitcher-batter combina-
tion seems to be contagious and pro-
fitable.

Morris Mitchell was the clean-up
batter. "Motor", a 6'6" left-handed
first baseman, slammed nine home runs
and three doubles to push in 29 runs.
He collected 24 hits in 61 at bats for
a .393 average. Other .300 or better
batsmen were Wayne Dobbs (.333),
Ken Borden (.333) and Buddy Good-
win (.300).

While no one expects a team to win
them all ,the boys were understandably
disappointed in losing the games they
did, when they did. After taking twelve
straight, they suffered a double loss
before the old grads on Alumni Day.
The Citadel took the double-header
14-2 and 7-0. And on May 26. as host
team of the 7th Area NAIA playoffs,
Oglethorpe fell 5-0 to a stout Carson-
Newman squad.

Coach Garland Pinholster has man-
aged to take an inept intercollegiate
program and turn it into one of nation-

HUMANICS

OGLETHORPE OFFERS
RARE PROGRAM

Oglethorpe Universit\ is the iinl\
college in the southeast that has a
special program
to prepare men
and women for
professional po-
sitions with youth
-serving agencies.
It is important
that this fact be
more widely
known.

The American
Humanics Found-
ation endowed a Chair of Humanics at
Oglethorpe in 1955. [Mr. Crow has
tilled the Chair since its inception. —
Ed.] •"Humanics" is a coined word
meaning human relations with an ac-
cent on youth.

Oglethorpe is one of three colleges
in the nation with this program. The
other two are located at Salem Col-
lege, Salem. W. Virginia and Missouri
Valley College. Marshall. Mo. Gradu-
ates are already working in half of the
states in this country and in several
overseas locations.

Organizations which utilize profes-
sionaF vouth leaders include the
YMCA," YWCA. Boy Scouts. Girl
Scouts. Campfire Girls'. YMHA, YW-
HA. 4-H Clubs, church youth pro-
grams. Junior Achievement. Red
Cross. Red Shield, juvenile courts and
many other similar groups.

There is a great need for properly
trained professionals in group work. In
order to attract qualified applicants,
salaries have been improved to a re-
spectable level.

At Oglethorpe, the suggested courses
for students concentrating in Humanics
follow a general liberal arts program
plus specialized subjects. In addition
to the famous Oglethorpe Common
Core and nearly two >ears of psy-
chology and one year of sociology,
students study business and home math-
ematics, public relations, financing,
public speaking, theory and practice of
group work, institutional relations,
group dynamics, field of social work,
case work methods and counseling,
community organization, intergroup
and race relations, field surveys and
statistics, administration and super-
vision of social agencies, and a semi-
nar-practicum in the chosen agency.

To alumni and friends of Ogle-
thorpe, this program means that your
Universitv is the training center for

youth-serving professionals for a large
area of the nation. Also, when agencies
have need for trained people, they have
a ready source of supply.

Alumni can assist this worthy pro-
gram in two ways. First, to superior
students showing an interest in social
service, suggestions can be made to
investigate Ogelthorpe's Human-
ics program. Second. indi\'iduals or
groups of alumni may wish to sponsor
a qualified student, interested in this
program, who would not otherwise be
able to finance college. The Founda-
tion can provide limited assistance in
the form of loans and part-time jobs.

The Humanics program provides
additional features to enrich its special
t>pe of training. Students attend three-
day retreats in the spring and fall, and
they meet outstanding youth leaders of
many areas during the semi-monthly
seminars.

As Oglethorpe enters this era of
growth and development, the Human-
ics program should prove to be one of
its strongest features.

ARE WE READY FOR
THE QUESTION?

Woon Churl Paik, called "Pack" by
his classmates, graduated from Ogle-
thorpe in June,
He attended for
two years, follow-
ing studies at
the University of
if ^ f/v* r^, Korea. His prof-
Ik. ,AP cssors were im-
^k ..^l^gflHH pressed with his
^^ '^^■[^^^^1 pl'^^'^'rif^ personal-

^^k '^^^V^E '^^ '"^'^ ^'"^ ''^''
HH -^^^^Kk ademic record.

w. c. p.MK He will begin

graduate work in bankinu at N.Y.U.

this fall.

In spite of his sucesses. Pack has a
problem. He receives no funds from
his family in Korea; therefore, he must
provide for his total support through
school. This can be a heady problem
for a foreign student in a strange city.

It is hoped that an Oglethorpe
alumnus will offer to help him get
located vocationally in New York City,
He is the sort of fellow who would ac-
cept nearly any kind of job. but quite
naturally, he would prefer work in an
area related to his chosen field of bank-
ing. He will remain at his present ad-
dress, 892 Piedmont Ave., Atlanta 9,
Ga,, until September.

Here is an opprlunity to work for
better international relations. What are
we szoinii to do about it?
