ALUMNI DAY - 1967

Presidential Changes Announced

Dr. Paul K. Vonk to Become New
Oglethorpe President

Dr. Paul Kenneth Vonk has
been named President of Ogle-
thorpe College.

Assuming his duties on June 1,
Dr. Vonk becomes the eleventh
president in Oglethorpe's history
which dates to 1835. He will be
the seventh president since 1916
when the College established its
current campus in Atlanta.

In making the announcement
of Dr. Vonk's appointment, Rob-
ert L. Foreman, chairman of the
Oglethorpe trustees, said: "We are
extremely fortunate to obtain Dr.
Vonk's services. He is a tested aca-
demic administrator whose wealth
of experience will be of great
benefit to Oglethorpe College."

The new Oglethorpe president
was born on July 6, 1913 in
Grand Rapids, Michigan, where
he attended the public schools
and Grand Rapids Junior Col-
lege. He received his B.A. Degree
from Calvin College in Grand
Rapids in 1935 with history as
his major. In 1939, he received
an M.A. Degree in philosophy
from the University of Michigan.
He received a scholarship and
graduate assistant at Duke Uni-
versity in 1939-41 and after
World War II he continued work
at Duke on his Ph.D. Degree
which was conferred in 1951.

Dr. Vonk spent 15 years at the
University of Miami, starting as
an assistant professor in 1948 and
serving as dean of the University
and College from 1960-63. He

was vice-president for Academic
Affairs and professor of philos-
ophy at Parsons College in Fair-
field, Iowa from 1963 until 1965
when he joined the University of
West Florida in Pensacola where
he has been vice-president for
Academic Affairs and professor of
philosophy the past two years.

A member of many professional
organizations, Dr. Vonk is a past
president and vice-president of
the Southern Society for Philos-
ophy and Psychology, a former
secretary-treasurer of the Florida
Philosophical Association and
chairman of the Higher Educa-
tion Section of the Florida Edu-
cation Association. He is a mem-
ber of several honorary societies:
Phi Kappa Phi, Omicron Delta
Kappa, Phi Eta Sigma, Kappa
Delta Pi and Phi Delta Kappa.

A member of the Presbyterian
church, Dr. Vonk has been a very
active participant in campus and
community religious groups.

He is co-author of "Introduc-
tion to College," published by
Allyn & Bacon. He has written
numerous book reviews and spe-
cial papers.

Dr. Vonk is married to the for-
mer Idalee Wolf and they have
two children, Claire, 18, a sopho-
more at Tulane and Paul Ken-
neth, 13, an eighth grader. Mrs.

tions in the field of religious edu-
cation and children's literature.

Dr. Paul R. Beall Resigns
Oglethorpe Presidency

Dr. Paul R. Beall, president of

effective May 31.

Having served as the College's
chief executive since October of
1964, Beall will return to his
chosen field, that of aerospace
consultation.

In formally submitting his res-
ignation to the trustees, Dr. Beall
stated: "Working with you, we
have, in a short time revitalized
the College, started new build-
ings, and developed a master plan
for one of the nation's best inde-
pendent Arts and Sciences Col-
leges. Let us continue our faith
and work in assurance that Ogle-
thorpe will come to its destined
excellency. I know that it will."

Under Beall's administration,
Oglethorpe has grown from an
enrollment of 325 to the present
900 students. A building program
was instituted and new dormi-
tory facilities and a student union
building are currently under
construction. The school also
adopted the trimester system and
strengthened its faculty.

Robert L. Foreman, chairman
of the Oglethorpe trustees stated:
"We will always be indebted to
Dr. Beall for his untiring efforts
in behalf of Oglethorpe. The
growth program that he insti-
tuted will be carried forward in
the years to come. On behalf of
the trustees, I would like to
thank Paul personally and wish
him well in his future endeavors."

eign Aid." On April 26 the sub-
ject was "Alianza fara el Pro-
greso" ("Alliance for Progress").

The scene: Alumni Day, 1966
Remember? Senator Herman Talmadge is shown ad-
dressing the group assembled for ground-
breaking ceremonies of the new dormitories

and student union building.

This year, alumni will be able to visit the
nearly completed dormitories and see the
progress made on the student union.

Paul Rensselaer Beall

Shortly after the exodus of a president, his ad-
ministration is given a tag.

Dr. Paul R. Beall will probably be remembered as
the "building president" at Oglethorpe.

During the almost three years of his presidency, Dr.
Beall fought for, guided and watched with interest the
progress of the dormitory complex and the new stu-
dent union building. The dormitories are nearing com-
pletion and hopefully will be ready for occupancy this
fall. The student union will be finished in 1968.

Paul Beall leaves Oglethorpe on May 31 to continue
his career in writing and consulting. He has made his
mark at Oglethorpe and he will long be remembered
as "the man who revitalized the College." Beall was
urgently concerned about the master plan for the col-
lege and the architectural conceptions to support the
plan. He thoroughly agreed with Mr. Justice Holmes
that "We need education in the obvious more than in
investigation of the abstruse." Not a reactionary, he
enjoys Mencken, Thurber, Runyon, Graves, and Stein-
beck to mention a few. He likes to visit artist friends
at Big Sur. He has been adamant however, in his quest
to keep the new buildings in the architectural style of
Old Oglethorpe. This he has managed to do.

A firm believer in private education, Beall dreamed
of a school that would be one of the best in America.
He wanted 2,000 students eventually. There were 325
on hand when he came, now Oglethorpe nears 900,
almost half-way to the Beall formula.

Beall dreamed of a superlative faculty and added
many new Ph.D.'s . . . enough to rank Oglethorpe
with the highest percentage of these distinguished fel-

lows in Georgia and one of the best in the South.

The campus took on a new look under Beall's ad-
ministration. The grass got greener, the rooms were
painted (with the exception of woodwork), the fac-
ulty and staff offices were improved, new student
facilities and recreation areas were made available
and the rusty coke box in front of Lupton was carried
to the junk heap. In fact, cobwebs became a rarity
instead of an everyday thing.

The challenge of Oglethorpe did not ruffle Beall's
crusty Iowa mien. He responded magnificently the
best way he knew how ... by taking action. He has
what the Scotch call "a touch o' class," the kind of
thing Adlai Stevenson had, and Arnold Palmer and
Charlie Chaplin — a touch of class which gives grace
to work.

Paul Beall started something that the new adminis-
tration, Trustees, President's Council, faculty, students
and alumni will have to continue. The challenge is
now ours.

In submitting his resignation to the Trustees, Dr.
Beall said: "In the present changing patterns (growth
patterns) at Oglethorpe College, Helen and I hope that
we have your understanding and good wishes; we
cherish them, as also we cherish the College."

In his inaugural address, Dr. Beall concluded with
remarks Daniel Webster once stated : "It is, sir, a small
college. And yet, there are those who love it."

We might paraphrase the ebullient Mr. Webster in
a summation of the Beall regime: "It is, sir, a much
improved college. And there are those of us who will
always remember you."

"Our cultural heritage is the lasting traditional

and conventional. 'Most every contemporary thing is

incessantly on trial to see if il will be good

enough lo become traditional."

"J know the merit of much contemporary
structural lechnk thai is economical Certainly ire
must use the sensibly indicated modern materials
components and fabricating methods. 'Too frequently,
however, a quick and dirty method proves lo
be cheap and so is adopted as vogue. Example-. il is
cjuite ibe thing nowadays in painting a room to,
by jiminy, paint it. Blind labox is satisfactory. Paint
being selected, walls, woodwork, light and
switchplate, picture moulding, window frames,
doorknobs, lockplates and bey are painted. A cat
walking in on such a paint job does so at bis peril. The
ultimately cheap paint fob. Hall oj the beautiful
rooms in Old Oglethorpe have been so painted. We have
restored some of them and hope lo rescue others."

"Jbe indomitable men who built the Cathedral

of Charlies might bare built a hundred lesser churches and

contributed insignificantly lo architecture and Christianity."

Tommy Norwood Joins Oglethorpe Coaching Staff

Tommy Norwood is the new Ogle-
thorpe baseball coach and assist-

ant basketball coach.

An ex-Oglethorpe athlete, Nor-
wood is considered by many to

be the greatest basketball player
ever to wear a Petrel uniform.

The new Oglethorpe coach re-
places John Guthrie who is the
new assistant basketball coach at
George Washington University.

Norwood, who played with ath-
letic director and head basketball
coach Bill Carter during the 1959
season at Oglethorpe owns prac-
tically all of the career basketball
records at Oglethorpe. Between
1959 and 1962, Norwood scored
1201 points, bagged 470 field
goals and averaged 12.6 points
per game. All are current Petrel
records. He was All-State all 4
years at Oglethorpe and was
named captain of the elite five
his senior year.

The 27 year old Norwood was
also All-Star in baseball during
his college days. He signed pro-

fessionally with the Philadelphia
Phillies in 1962 and played AA
ball with Williamsport, Pennsyl-
vania and Chattanooga, Tennes-
see the next two seasons. He was
traded to Washington in 1964
and played with the Senators'
York, Pennsylvania farm club.

For the past two years, Nor-
wood has coached basketball at
Clarkston High School.

An Atlanta native, Norwood is
a product of Southwest DeKalb
High School where he was a much
sought after prep star.

In announcing Norwood's ap-
pointment, Carter said: "It will
be a real pleasure to team with
Tommy again. We considered
several prospects but feel that
Tommy's basketball and baseball
savvy makes him invaluable to
Oglethorpe's athletic program.

John Guthrie Named Assistant Basketball
Coach at George Washington University

John Guthrie has been named
assistant basketball coach at
George Washington University,
in Washington, D.C.

The 26 year old Guthrie leaves
Oglethorpe College where he has
served as assistant basketball
coach for the past two years and
head baseball coach for the past
year.

His duties at George Washing-
ton will be those of assistant to
head basketball coach Wayne
Dobbs, scouting and recruiting.
Dobbs himself is a former Ogle-
thorpe graduate.

One of the all-time greats at
Atlanta's Murphy High School,
Guthrie graduated in 1958 after
making All-State in basketball
and playing in the All-Star bas-
ketball and baseball games.

Guthrie received his BA in
Secondary Education at Ogle-

thorpe in 1962, and lettered in
basketball and baseball. He
coached the Oglethorpe Junior
Varsity to a 9-3 season in 1962.

In 1963 he served as assistant
coach at Southwest DeKalb and
became head coach the following
two seasons. His teams won a
total of 25 and lost 20 during his
two years at the school. He was
assistant coach in baseball for
three years at Southwest DeKalb
and his teams won 26 out of 30
ball games.

Guthrie is a member of the
growing roster of Basketball
coaches who played at Ogle-
thorpe under Garland Pinholster.
Others are Bill Carter, head coach
at Oglethorpe and Pat Stephens,
assistant coach at the University
of Georgia. Numerous Pinholster
products are coaching High
School teams in Georgia.

Your Alumni
Gift This Year?

Jim Walker of Providence, who
made everybody's All-America, is
the top vote-getter on Ogle-
thorpe's All-Opponent team.

The Friar senior, who is the
top pro prospect of this season,
was a unanimous first team mem-
ber on. the ballots of the Petrel
players, as was John Dickson of
Arkansas State and Herb Mc-
Pherson of Murray State.

Walker was instrumental in
breaking the game wide open as
Providence defeated Oglethorpe
74-57. The Petrels trailing by
only a point at halftime grabbed
an early lead in the second half
at 37-32, and then Walker took
command. He scored 13 of his
team's next 26 points and made
several assists to put the contest
out of reach. The Petrels did take
pride in the fact that they "held"

Dickson, the 6-11 Arkansas
State giant scored 36 points in
leading Arkansas State to an 82-

made 15 out of 16 field goal at-
tempts, his last one was the most
important. With 4 seconds left, he
hoisted the shot that won the
game.

Murray's McPherson had 22
points and 9 rebounds as Murray
stopped the Petrels 90-75. Mc-

Petrels Conclude
Fine Season

Doug Alexander scored 43 points
(including 16 field goals) for a
new school record. Bill Carter fin-
ished his initial season on a win-
ning note with a winning 18-8
record.

These were the items on which
the Petrel squad took stock as
they polished off their last post-
game meal of the season on
March 2.

Chattanooga had become the
final victim of 1966-67 when
Oglethorpe doomed them 86-78.
It was sweet revenge for Carter's
Club which was upset by Chat-
tanooga 77-76 in mid-January.

The mood was a happy one
except when someone would men-
tion the NCAA College Division
Tournament. The Petrels still
feel that they should have been
invited for several good reasons:

Reason #1— The 18-8 mark of
Oglethorpe was better than the
17-8 record posted by Stetson,
who received the bid.

Reason #2 — The tougher
schedule that was played by the
Petrels, as compared to the one
played by Stetson.

Reason #3 — The past good
showings by Oglethorpe in NCAA
tourney competition.

Bitterness is not an Ogle-
thorpe trademark, however, and
the Petrels will pack away the
basketball equipment with an eye
toward next season.

Next year should be a good
one as Oglethorpe will return all
of its players.

The record-breaking Alexander
plus Jerry Sams and Roger Lit-
tell will be Seniors. Johnny-come-
lately Mike Dahl, J. P. Bruzek,
Jim Hoggarth, Earl Blair, Doug
Cole and Jerry Lee will be Ju-
niors with a good crop of Fresh-
man hopefuls moving up to sec-
ond-year status. Carter is also
hopeful of nabbing some high
school stars for a good freshman
crop.

Oglethorpe Teams Take Spring Break

The Oglethorpe College tennis
team took the spring vacation
break with an impressive 6-2
record.

Coach Bill Carter's swingers
have lost their matches with two
national powers, Georgia and
Kalamazoo, and came up with
impressive victories over Vander-
bilt and William and Mary. They
also defeated West Georgia twice
and posted single triumphs over
Appalachian and Chattanooga.

Mid-season statistics show that
the Petrel's big four of Joe Den-
nis, Robbie Smith, Byron Wal-
beck and Robbie Danner have
played exceptionally well. Dennis,

who plays the number three sin-
gles spot leads the club in wins
with 7 out of 8. Smith and Wal-
beck who have alternated at num-
ber one and number two and
Danner, number four, have identi-
cal 6-2 marks.

The number one doubles com-
bo of Smith and Dennis lost their
opening match and then rolled
to seven straight triumphs. Wal-
beck and Danner have won 6 out
of 7 in their partnership.

The first female varsity ath-
lete in Oglethorpe history, Sharon
Gleason has fared well against
the male competition, winning 3
of 5 outings.
