COMMEMORATING  THE 
NINETIETH  YEAR  OF

PRESENTED  BY  THE  STUDENT  BODY  OF  LAKE  FOREST  COLLEGE

This  year  the  1947  Forester  staff  proudly  dedicates  its  yearbook 
to  our  President,  Dr.  Ernest  E.  Johnson.  Dr.  Johnson  has  been  a 
friend  to  each  and  every  student  on  campus,  and  it  seems  only 
fitting  that  the  first  yearbook  dedication  in  the  history  of  our 
college  should  be  made  to  him.  It  also  gives  us  special  pleasure 
to  make  this  dedication  to  Dr.  Johnson  for  this  yearbook  celebrates 
the  culminating  point  of  the  ninetieth  anniversary  of  Lake  Forest 
College.  Dr.  Johnson  stands  out  as  a  symbol  to  the  college  and  to 
the  students,  representing  that  same  quality  of  leadership  and 
initiative  which  has  made  possible  these  ninety  years  of  history 
and  at  the  same  time  representing  the  future — for  it  is  through 
just  such  leaders  as  he  that  Lake  Forest  will  continue  its  progress 
just  as  ably  as  in  the  past.  Dr.  Johnson  is  very  well  known  by 
everyone  on  the  campus  and  although  the  enrollment  has  in- 
creased considerably,  everyone  still  finds  a  cheerful  "hello"  await- 
ing him  from  our  president  and  with  i&vf  exceptions  his  name  is 
remembered.  His  home  and  office  are  always  open  to  the  student 
who  wishes  special  conferences  or  informal  visits  with  him.  Very 
few  of  us  will  ever  be  able  to  forget  the  welcome  we  have  received 
at  the  Johnson  home  and  in  faculty  circles  by  both  Dr.  and  Mrs. 
Johnson.  It  is,  therefore,  very  appropriate  that  this  yearbook 
which  gives  the  complete  picture  of  Lake  Forest  students  and  their 
activities  for  the  year  should  be  dedicated  to  our  president,  for  he 
is  the  one  who  has  taken  such  an  active  interest  in  what  we  have 
done  and  even  more  important  an  interest  in  each  of  us  personally. 
We  have  fully  realized  this  interest  which  he  has  displayed  in  us, 
and  we  are  proud  to  dedicate  our  yearbook  to  this  outstanding 
student  leader.  It  is  with  great  pride,  then,  that  we  pay  tribute  to 
Dr.  Johnson  in  this  very  small  way  by  dedicating  our  1947 
Forester  to  him.

LAKE    FOREST 

1857 


"yls  stand  thy  brave  old  trees  about  thee,  strong  as  the  lake's 
fierce  waves  in  storm.  So  stand  thy  children  to  defend  thee.  .  ." 


1857  -  1947 


T  is  with  great  pride  that  the 

■  I   1947  Forester  celebrates   the 
I    I  90th  year  of  the  history  of 

■  *  Lake    Forest    College.    Here, 
we,  the  present  Lake  Foresters 

may  look  at  our  college  in  the  year  1947 
and  see  the  tremendous  service  it  has 
done  since  1857.  As  we  review  this 
history  and  recall  the  many  scenes  of 
the  college's  past,  we  feel  that  Lake 
Forest  spirit  surge  within  us  once 
again  more  strongly  than  ever  and  we 
understand  perhaps  even  better  the 
real  meaning  of  the  words  of  our  Alma 
Mater — "for  God,  Lake  Forest,  vic- 
tory!" For  it  was  over  ninety  years  ago 
that  the  first  plans  were  laid  for  the 
college,  and  today  we  know  that  all  the 
work  and  effort  directed  toward  the 
goal  of  a  Lake  Forest  College  has 
resulted  in  victory. 


We  present  here  then  in  these  few 
opening  pages  in  the  year  1947  the 
past  years  depicting  the  pioneering  and 
struggling  which  have  given  us  our 
college  as  we  know  it  today.  It  was  in 
1855  that  some  outstanding  citizens  of 
Chicago  and  the  vicinity  conceived  the 
idea  of  creating  a  new  residential 
suburb  and  establishing  in  it  an  educa- 
tional institution  that  would  be  near 
the  city  and  yet  in  a  quiet  environment. 
From  this  plan  arose  the  Lake  Forest 
Association  which  purchased  50,000 
acres  of  land  of  which  one-half  was  to 
be  used  for  a  university  campus.  A 
Mr.  Sylvester  Lind  offered  100,000  to 
the  association  in  1856  if  they  would 
raise  a  like  amount. 


The  first  few  Lake  Forest  students 
are  called  away  to  the  Civil  War. 


By  February  13,  1857,  the  university  was  approved  by 
legislature  under  the  title  of  Lind  University  with  its 
purposes  outlined  as  follows:  "To  promote  the  general 
interest  of  education,  to  qualify  students  to  engage  in 
learned  professions,  and  to  discharge  honorably  and 
usefully  the  various  duties  of  life." 

Lake  Forest's  natural  beauty  was  early  used  as  a 
drawing  card  as  shown  by  this  early  description  which 
was  circulated  to  draw  people  to  the  newly-founded 
town — "Lake  Forest  is  finely  located  on  the  bluffs  of 
Lake  Michigan,  twenty-seven  miles  north  of  Chicago. 
Its  sylvan  features,  system  of  ravines  and  lake  front 
give  it  real  natural  beauty  which  has  been  so  far 
developed  by  landscape  gardening  as  to  make  the  place 
one  of  the  most  charming  suburban  towns  of  the  north- 
west. It  is  a  town  of  beautiful  estates  and  Christian 
homes.  Quietude  and  culture  are  eminently  its  char- 
acteristics, affording  advantages  and  lending  those 
finer  influences  desirable." 

Instruction  was  begun  in  1859  in  an  academy 
building,  but  the  university  led  a  crippled  existence  until  about  1868  when  the 
financial  panics  had  passed.  An  act  of  legislature  changed  the  name  from  Lind 
University  to  Lake  Forest  University  in  1865.  The  college  had  a  temporary  start 
in  1861  with  a  class  of  four  under  Cornelius  E.  Dickinson,  but  the  Civil  War  called 
away  most  of  the  likely  candidates  for  college.  A  medical  department  was  begun 
in  Chicago  which  for  a  time  was  included  as  a  part  of  Lake  Forest  University. 
Reverend  William  A.  Ferry  bequeathed  funds  in  1868  for  the  establishment  of  a 
seminary  for  young  ladies.  A  building  was  erected  and  land  sold  to  cover  costs. 
In  the  catalogue  of  1872  the  problem  of  food  in  the  dormitory  is  revealed  and  the 
solution  which  had  evidently  been  reached  for  it — "Along  with  suitable  exercise, 
a  well-furnished  table  is  as  necessary  to  the  vigorous  health  of  young  ladies  in 
school  as  at  home.  With  a  proper  regard  to  this  matter,  we  feel  sure  that  sensible 
mothers  will  see  good  reasons  for  not  sending  articles  of  food  to  their  daughters 
while  here." 

The  first  Stentor  was  issued  in  1857.  It  consisted  of  thirty-two  pages  containing 
news  of  the  college,  Ferry  Hall,  Academy,  and  Chicago  professional  schools.  The 
Stentor  cou{\rm.Qd^  down  through  the  ages  and  its  existence  was  only  threatened  once 
in  1892  when  intense  rivalry  between  the  college's  two  literary  societies  resulted  in 
the  production  of  another  paper — The  Red  and  Black.  At  this  time  enrollment  was 
actually  too  small  for  even  one  paper  and  competition  reached  its  highest  peak. 
One  writer  for  The  Red  and  Black  pawned  his  overcoat  to  meet  the  week's  expenses. 
Finally  the  two  papers  reached  an  agreement  and  emerged  again  into  one  as  the 
Stentor  which  is  still  in  existence  today. 

In  approximately  1871  a  hotel  was  erected  which  was  donated  to  Lake  Forest 
University  after  five  years.  With  this  building,  Mrs.  C.  D.  Farwell  founded  a  co- 
educational school  in  1876  which  matriculated  eight  men  and  four  women — a  ratio 
of  two  to  one  which  has  been  deliberately  preserved  down  to  this  day.  It  was 
through  her  efforts  that  the  college  came  to  be  a  coeducational  institution.  In  1877 
the  college  building  was  destroyed  but  classes  continued  in  the  old  hotel.  With 
improved  financial  conditions  a  new  building  was  erected  in  1878  consisting  of 


10 


CoUege  Hall   1878 


five  Stories  containing  the  chapel, 
library,  and  dormitory  accommoda- 
tions— this  building  was  College  Hall 
and  the  first  of  the  many  buildings  still 
left  standing  on  the  campus  today. 
The  catalogue  at  this  time  reveals  the 
four  departments  of  study  open  to 
students.  These  were  the  Scientific, 
Ladies'  Academic,  Classical,  and  Pre- 
paratory. 

After  the  erection  of  College  Hall, 
other  building  continued  on  a  grand 
scale.  1879  saw  the  erection  of  boarding 
hall  or  the  "Old  Commons".  Academy  Hall  had  burned  and  a  new  building  was 
put  up  on  the  main  campus.  This  was  accomplished  through  the  work  of  Reverend 
Daniel  S.  Gregory  who  had  assumed  the  presidency  in  1878,  and  it  was  also  under 
him  that  the  tradition  of  a  close  and  personal  relation  between  the  president  and 
every  student  which  has  persisted  down  to  the  present  time  was  instigated. 

Under  the  presidency  of  William  C.  Roberts  in  1887  a  further  effort  to  realize 
the  university  idea  was  attempted.  Affiliations  were  made  with  the  Rush  Medical 
School,  the  Northwestern  and  Chicago  Colleges  of  Dental  Surgery  and  the  Chicago 
College  of  Law.  These  relations  were  maintained  until  1902  when  the  trustees 
decided  to  concern  themselves  only  with  the  three  branches  of  the  university — the 
Academy,  Ferry  Hall,  and  the  College. 

By  1889  and  1891  the  William  Bross  and  Jacob  Beidler  residences  were  built. 
The  Henry  C.  Durand  Institute  and  the  gymnasium  went  up  in  1890.  In  1892  the 
academy  had  left  the  college  campus  and 
was  occupying  its  own  buildings  further 
south.  Therefore,  in  1897  the  old  academy 
building  was  rebuilt  for  college  use  and 
became  North  Hall,  a  men's  dormitory. 
In  the  same  year  Lois  Durand  Hall  was 
secured  for  college  women.  Alice  Home 
Hospital  was  erected  in  1898  as  a  gift  of 
Mrs.  Henry  Clay  Durand  and  as  a 
memorial  to  her  sister,  but  it  was  not 
until  1944  that  it  was  first  used  as  a  girls' 
dormitory  by  the  college.  The  following 
year,  1899,  the  Arthur  Somerville  Reid 
Library  was  donated  by  Mrs.  S.  S.  Reid. 

The  problem  of  heat  is  not  new  to  our  day  for  there  is  a  story  of  some  boys 
who  remained  at  school  for  the  Christmas  holidays  in  1891  and  found  after  everyone 
had  left  that  there  had  been  no  provision  made  for  any  heat  for  them.  Conse- 
quently, they  were  all  forced  to  stay  in  one  room  of  College  Hall  and  try  to  keep 
warm. 

In  the  catalogue  of  1892  two  courses  of  study  are  revealed  as  being  offered — ■ 
the  Classical  and  the  Latin-Scientific.  Two  outstanding  organizations  included 
the  Young  Men's  Christian  Association  and  the  Athletic  Association.  Prizes  were 
awarded  annually  for  oratory,  essays,  and  declamation.  The  College  offered 
degrees  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy,  Master  of  Arts,   Master  of  Science,  Bachelor

of  Arts,  and  Bachelor  of  Science.  Here  again  the  emphasis  placed  upon  the  indi- 
vidual attention  afforded  each  student  was  stressed. 

A  curriculum  revision  came  about  in  1893  which  resulted  in  the  subjects  being 
placed  in  ten  groups  and  work  offered  on  a  two-semester  basis.  The  use  of  major 
and  minor  requirements  also  was  set  up  for  the  first  time  and  the  rule  passed  that 
each  graduate  would  receive  a  Bachelor  of  Arts  degree. 

Our  first  yearbook  was  published  in  1892.  The  students  were  very  enthusiastic 
for  its  success  and  the  city  departments  of  law,  medicine,  and  dentistry  welcomed 
the  enterprise  as  a  means  of  bringing  together  all  of  the  departments  and  introduc- 
ing a  real  university  spirit.  Since  then,  there 
has  been  a  yearbook  published  almost  every 
year  with  only  a  few  occasional  exceptions. 
In  1903  the  trustees  decided  to  give  up 
the  university  idea  and  concentrate  solely 
on  a  college  at  Lake  Forest.  The  name 
University  is  in  the  charter  and  must 
remain  there,  but  stress  is  laid  on  the 
character  of  the  institution  as  a  college  and 
as  such  is  separated  from  the  Academy  and 
Ferry  Hall. 

1905  marked  the  beginning  of  what  is 
now  one  of  our  yearly  activities.  The  tradi- 
tional junior  bench  ceremony  began  with 
the  presentation  of  two  wooden  benches  to 
the  school  by  that  year's  graduating  class. 
These  wooden  benches  were  later  replaced 
by  the  stone  benches  which  are  now  standing  south  of  College  Hall  and  which  are 
the  scene  of  the  junior  bench  ceremony  each  year.  Also  in  1905  began  a  custom 
which  was  practiced  for  a  long  time  and  later  discontinued.  The  seniors  took  matters 
into  their  own  hands  in  March  1905  by  marching  into  the  chapel  services  wearing 
caps  and  gowns.  They  announced  their  intention  that  thereafter  they  would  wear 
them  at  Vespers  on  Sunday  and  at  daily  chapels.  These  two  incidents  are  only  a 
portion  of  the  history  behind  many  of  the  Lake  Forest  traditions,  and  in  the  old 
annuals  and  papers  are  found  one  amusing  incident  after  another  of  early  college 
life.  For  example,  in  one  place  the  lowly  status  of  the 
college  freshman  is  seen  in  the  treatment  given  them. 
They  were  always  the  source  of  fun  for  the  upper  class- 
men and  many  of  them  had  their  heads  doused  in  the 
pump  that  stood  in  front  of  College  Hall.  When  the 
pump  was  removed  the  scene  was  changed  to  the  pond 
west  of  the  gymnasium.  The  freshmen  were  constantly 
warned  of  their  lowly  place  in  life  and  the  consequences 
resulting  if  they  outstepped  that  place. 

1906  marked  the  erection  of  the  final  building  on 
campus  down  to  the  present  time.  Mrs.  Timothy  Black- 
stone  donated  funds  for  the  erection  of  Blackstone  and 
Harlan  Halls;  Calvin  Durand  for  Calvin  Durand 
Commons;  and  Mr.  Andrew  Carnegie  for  Carnegie 
Science  Hall.  .  ,        .     j

By  this  time  many  schools  were  co-educational  as  was  essays,  and  declamation.

Lake  Forest  and  apparently  the  woman  coed  was  not  very  well  thought  of  in  many 
places.  President  Harlan's  statement  in  1906  reveals  the  degrading  influences 
coeds  were  apparently  having  in  other  schools,  but  he  shows  that  this  is  not  true 
at  Lake  Forest:  "At  Lake  Forest,  we  haven't  any  specimen  of  that  awful  creature 
called  the  'coed'  who  is  a  very  poor,  unattractive,  hoydenish  imitation  of  the 
man  student — instead  we  are  blessed  by  the  presence  of  a  group  of  delightfully 
feminine  women". 

Since  the  early  1900's  Lake  Forest  has  continued  to  grow  and  expand  and  has 
increased  its  prestige  in  every  phase  of  its  development.  It  has  become  a  member 
of  the  athletic  association,  has  increased  its  music  and  art  departments  as  well  as 
promoting  larger  departments  in  other  fields. 

Lake  Forest  has  attracted  more  students  each  year,  but  with  the  outbreak  of 
World  War  I  a  decline  was  noticed  for  the  first  time.  However,  after  the  Armistice 
and  the  return  of  veterans  Lake  Forest  was  once  more  able  to  continue  in  its 
expansion  and  in  1942  it  was  necessary  to  take  over  the  old  nurses'  home  as  a  new 
girls'  dormitory. 

In  that  same  year  Lake  Forest  was  again  influenced  by  another  war  and  by  the 

end  of  the  school  year,  1942-1943,  many  men  had  left 
to  join  the  armed  forces.  It  was  a  sad  experience  in  the 
history  of  the  college  as  the  young  men  left  their  studies 
to  fight  for  their  country. 

The  next  year  a  difi^erent  school  was  found  by  those 
who  returned  for  the  ASTP  had  installed  a  unit  and  had 
taken  over  the  fraternity  houses  and  North  Hall  for 
their  quarters.  The  sound  of  marching  and  drilling 
now  echoed  over  the  campus  and  the  students  soon 
became  accustomed  to  the  presence  of  servicemen 
pervading  the  school  atmosphere. 

Again,  the  following  year,  1944-1945,  more  changes 
were  in  store  for  Lake  Forest.  The  ASTP  had  left  the 
campus  and  a  huge  enrollment  of  women  filled  the 
college.  Alice  Home  Hospital  was  taken  over  for  a 
girls'  dormitory,  as  well  as  North  Hall.  Only  Harlan 
Hall  was  open  to  men  and  Blackstone  was  closed 
entirely. 
Life  functioned  in  the  usual  way  although  social 
activities  were  seriously  impeded.  Service  men  were  imported  from  nearby  camps 
for  social  functions  and  frequent  entertainments  were  given  by  the  girls  for  their 
benefit.  This  situation  continued  throughout  the  year  1944-1945  and  on  into  1946. 
The  fraternities  were  closed  during  this  period  and  many  responsible  positions 
were  relegated  to  the  women. 

Finally  the  war  was  over  and  gradually  the  veterans  began  coming  back  to  school. 
At  the  semester  in  1945-1946  a  large  number  returned  and  social  and  other  ac- 
tivities once  more  took  on  a  pre-war  look.  Progress  was  started  on  the  reorganiza- 
tion of  the  fraternities  and  many  other  campus  traditions  which  had  been  impos- 
sible during  the  war  years  were  revived. 

During  the  past  summer  two  new  men's  dormitories  were  constructed  and  houses 
were  furnished  for  married  couples  in  Farwell  Field.  The  fall  of  1946  saw  an  even 
greater  return  of  veterans  so  that  the  day  school  enrollment  was  boosted  to  over 
six  hundred.  Lake  Forest's  tradition  of  men  and  women  ratio  was  once  more  on 


Freshman  orientation   by  the  upper- 
classmen.

its  way  to  being  upheld.  The  return  of  a  football  team  was  welcomed,  and  Lake 
Forest  was  once  more  able  to  join  in  athletic  conferences  in  football,  basketball,  and 
baseball. 

Greater  facilities  were  needed  for  the  increased  enrollment  and  the  coffee  shop 
was  doubled  in  size  and  a  dining  room  in  Lois  Hall  for  women  was  opened. 

Through  this  surge  of  enlargement,  the  campus  beautiful  has  remained  the 
same  friendly  and  warm  place  that  it  has  been  noted  for  ever  since  its  founding. 

As  we  look  back  on  the  glorious  history  of  our  college  here  on  our  ninetieth 
anniversary,  it  is  hard  to  believe  that  this  progress  has  all  taken  place  in  what  is 
actually  such  a  short  space  of  time.  Lake  Forest  has  successfully  weathered  three 
wartime  crises  and  each  time  has  come  through  a  little  stronger  and  better  than 
before.  As  we  look  aroun  dus  and  see  the  many  great  opportunities  which  are  here 
waiting  for  us,  many  are  already  looking  toward  the  future  and  visualizing  an 
even  better  college.  Numerous  plans  have  been  made  for  more  building  and  ex- 
pansion and  it  will  be  with  great  pride  that  we,  the  present  students,  watch  this 
growth  in  the  years  to  come.

DMINISTRATION    AND

ADMINISTRATION 


RIENDLINESS  has  ever  since 
I  the  founding  of  Lake  Forest  been 
j  the  word  which  most  truly  typifies 
the  relationship  between  the  stu- 
dents and  faculty  on  the  campus. 
Each  faculty  and  administration  member 
takes  an  individual  interest  in  every  student, 
and  the  students  themselves  find  it  easy  to 
know  their  professors  and  advisors  quite 
personally.  Whether  in  the  coffee  shop  or 
any  other  place  on  campus,  students  and 
faculty  mix  easily. 

From  a  faculty  of  one,  Lake  Forest  has 
increased  its  staff  so  that  now  there  are  forty- 
eight  members  on  this  year's  faculty.  The 
curriculum  has  been  enlarged  and  the  courses 
formerly  offered  have  been  expanded.  It 
seems  hard  to  believe  that  this  great  an 
increase  could  have  been  made  in  so  short 
a  time. 

Many  of  us  do  not  know  too  well  who  each 
faculty  and  administrative  member  is  and 
what  his  specific  jobs  are  on  the  campus. 
We  pause  here,  then,  to  give  time  to  each  of 


these  members  that  we  may  know  them  even 
better  and  know  more  about  them  than  we  do 
from  our  classes  and  informal  conversations 
with  them. 

The  faculty  is  easily  divided  into  four  di- 
visions— the  Division  of  Language,  Literature 
and  Fine  Arts,  Division  of  Social  Sciences, 
Division  of  Philosophy,  Religion  and  Educa- 
tion, Division  of  Physical  and  Natural  Sciences, 
and  the  Department  of  Physical  Education. 
Each  of  these  divisions  and  their  members  will 
be  outlined  separately  to  give  a  better  picture 
of  each  faculty  and  administrative  member 
and  his  duties. 

Under  the  classification  of  administration 
we  have  first  our  president.  Dr.  Johnson,  who 
came  to  Lake  Forest  from  the  University  of 
Denver  as  a  professor  of  economics  and  was

In  the  department  of  physical  education,  we 

31 


find  three  instructors.  The  first  is  Miss  Barbara

physical  education  instructor.  Miss  Calmer's 
home  is  Sioux  City,  Iowa,  and  she  attended 
the  University  of  Nebraska.  Her  interest  in 
physical  education  work  is  shown  by  the  long 
list  of  clubs  pertaining  to  athletics  to  which  she 
belongs. 

Coach  Jones  is  very  familiar  to  all  of  us  as 
athletic  director  on  the  campus.  His  home  is  in 
Indiana  and  he  taught  at  Butler  University, 
Wabash  College,  Purdue  University,  and 
Illinois  University  as  well  as  being  trainer  for 
the  Chicago  Bears  at  one  time  before  coming  to 
this  campus.  Along  literary  lines,  Coach  Jones 
has  written  three  books  on  basketball  and  a 
book  called  "The  Modern  'T'  Formation  in 
Football".  Besides  being  athletic  director,  the 
coach  takes  over  specifically  both  the  football 
and  baseball  training. 

Another  Lake  Forest  graduate  is  Kenneth 
McAllister,  assistant  athletic  director.  Besides

clude basketball,  intramural  director,  and  head 
of  all  physical  education  classes.  Mr.  McAllister 
lives  in  College  Hall  and  has  two  children, 
Kenneth  and  Michael. 

The  department  of  physical  education  con- 
cludes the  divisions  into  which  the  curriculum 
and  professors  are  classified.  Each  administra- 
tive and  faculty  worker  has  been  treated 
separately,  and  as  we  glance  over  the  write-up 
on  each  one  we  find  it  hard  to  believe  that  our 
faculty  includes  so  many  when  only  ninety 
years  ago  it  was  a  staff  of  one.  We  are  proud 
of  our  faculty  and  express  our  appreciation  to 
them  for  the  cooperative  and  friendly  manner 
which  they  have  displayed  in  helping  us  in  our 
studies  and  extra-curricular  activities.  It  is 
only  in  a  small  school  like  Lake  Forest  that  this 
may  be  accomplished,  and  the  opportunity  for 
a  personal  and  friendly  faculty-student  rela- 
tionship has  been  eagerly  taken  advantage  of 
by  faculty  and  students  alike.

LASSES 


CLASS  OF  1947 


pOUR    years    at    Lake    Forest    have 

P       presented    great    variations     in    the 
college   life    for    a  class  which  came 
.^in  war  and  left  in  peace.  Gray  skies 
'"and  rainy  weather  marked   the  first 
day  of  our  college  career  way  back  in  Sept- 
ember of  '43,  almost  symbolic  of  the  turbulent 
times  which  characterized  this  dark  period. 

We'll  never  forget  our  freshman  days — the 
A.S.T.P.  sharing  our  campus — dances  at  the 
U.S.O. — knitting  for  the  Red  Cross — the 
special  significance  of  mail-call. 

Change  came  gradually,  but  surely.  By  our 
senior  year  Lake  Forest  had  taken  on  more 
nearly  the  aspects  of  a  normal,  co-educational 
institution — return  of  the  vets — revival  of 
frats  —  football  —  basketball  —  baseball  —  old 
traditions — and  a  few  new  aspects — married 
couples — the  barracks. 


Looking  backward,  graduation  day  cer- 
tainly marked  sunnier  times  than  the  bleak 
beginnings  of  that  freshman  year. 

Early  in  the  year  the  senior  class  organized 
and  elected  the  following  officers:  Pete  Schmit, 
president;  Bee  Morris,  vice-president;  Maren 
Nyhagen,  secretary;  Bud  Quinlan,  treasurer. 

On  June  7,  1947,  109  diplomas  were  a- 
warded  to  this  group,  closing  an  important  and 
memorable  chapter  in  their  lives.  Not  without 
sorrow  do  we  leave  Lake  Forest.  We  will  never 
forget  these  four  wonderful  years.  But  though 
we  leave,  we  take  with  us  something  we  have 
gained  from  our  experience  in  college — the  will 
to  do  and  to  succeed,  confident  in  our  ability  to 
continue  the  pattern  of  success  so  well  estab- 
lished in  our  college  years.

JUNIORS 


Upper  classmen  at  last,  114  members  of  the 
class  of  '48  came  back  this  fall  filled  with 
enthusiasm  for  their  Junior  year.  Following  the 
precedent  of  last  year's  Junior  class,  the  48'ers 
organized  early  in  the  fall,  electing  the  follow- 
ing officers:  Roy  Crandall,  president;  Margaret 
Flood,  vice-president;  Lois  Lenters,  secretary; 
Lila  Spannenberg,  treasurer. 

Ever  since  our  first  year  of  college  in  Sep- 
tember '44,  we  Juniors  have  witnessed  revolu- 
tionary changes  at  Lake  Forest.  Those  were 
the  days  when  L.F.C.  was  almost  strictly  a 
women's  institution.  The  increased  feminine 
enrollment  that  year  made  it  necessary  to  open 
two  new  women's  dorms — Alice  Burhans 
Lodge  and  North  Hall.  Since  then,  the  situa- 
tion has  been  entirely  reversed,  the  male 
element  predominates,  and  annexes  were  added 
to  Harlan  and  Blackstone  Halls  to  accom- 
modate our  newly-acquired  Lake  Forest  men. 

Two  outstanding  Junior  traditions  success- 
fully carried  out  in  the  spring  were  the  Junior 
Bench  Ceremony  and  the  Junior  Prom.  Hats 
off  to  the  Junior  class  and  the  prom  committee 
headed  by  the  Junior's  own  Prom  King,  Hal 
Larsen,  who  reigned  at  a  truly  wonderful 
dance. 

With  the  leadership  and  achievement  which 
characterized  the  class  of  '48,  even  more 
brilliant  success  may  be  predicted  for  their 
Senior  days  and  throughout  life  always. 

SOPHOMORES 

The  49'ers  returned  to  L.F.  this  fall,  looking 
forward  eagerly  to  their  sophomore  year, 
anxious  to  revive  more  of  those  traditions  of 
pre-war  college  days. 

We  were  the  first  class  to  enter  Lake  Forest 
after  the  end  of  the  war,  and  with  us  came  the 
first  big  crop  of  veterans,  and  a  lot  of  new 
ideas.  The  enrollment  hit  a  new  high  during 
our  freshman  year,  but  the  girls  still  out- 
numbered the  fellows,  until  the  revolution,  or 
restoration,  perhaps,  when  the  second  semester 
arrived  with  its  outstanding  number  of  vets. 

They  set  quite  a  precedent  during  their 
freshman  year,  and  anticipated  their  sopho- 
more year  with  that  good  old  L.F.  spirit.  The 


frats  claimed  many  of  their  number  at  the 
beginning  of  the  year,  as  they  witnessed  and 
participated  in  the  first  fraternity  pledging 
ceremony  since  before  the  war. 

The  sophomores  worked  actively  on  many 
committees,  wrote    for    the    Stentor   and    for 
.■■^,,  yy  the    Forester,     and  participated 

eagerly  in  many  clubs.  Some 
of  those  football  heroes  we 
cheered  on  to  victory  were  soph- 
omores. 

Indicative  of  their  high  spirit, 
the  sophs  organized  this  year  and 
chose  the  following  officers:  Ed  Sawyer  as 
president;  Wayne  Wahler  as  vice-president, 
Lee  Smith  as  secretary;  and  Bob  Ray  as 
treasurer. 

With  college  back  to  normal  again,  and 
better  than  ever,  we  sophomores  are  looking 
forward  to  another  two  years  at  L.F.C.  with 
great  anticipation. 

FRESHMEN 

The  Freshman  class — class  of  the  mid- 
century — is  one  of  the  most  promising  ever  to 
enter  the  old  portals  of  Lake  Forest.  September 
1946  was  the  beginning  of  a  dynamic  year  of 
almost  pre-war  normality,  and  our  frosh  fell 
right  in  line  with  that  good  old  traditional  L.F. 
spirit. 

Our  Freshman  class,  and  we're  proud  of 
them,  numbered  241  in  the  fall  of  '46.  Not  only 
are  they  the  largest  class  Lake  Forest  has  ever 
seen,  but  they  compose  a  greater  variety  of 
elements  than  any  previous  class.  Besides  the 
usual  group  fresh  out  of  high  school,  there  was 
a  large  number  of  veterans  enrolled. 

Remember — the  Freshman  Mixer — Home- 
coming, the  bonfire  we  frosh  laid,  the  snake 
dance  through  town,  the  floats  we  all  worked  so 
hard  on — that  triumphant  Freshman  produc- 
tion of  Junior  Miss — sorority  Courtesy  Week 
and  fraternity  Hell  Week — -Lake  Forest's 
traditional  under-classman  edition  of  the 
Stentor — the  Freshman  Dance  and  crowning  of 
our  lovely  Freshman  Queen,   Ginny  Gosling. 

Yes,  we  Freshmen  will  mark  this  year  in  our 
calendar  of  memories — our  first  taste  of  life  at 
Lake  Forest — as  one  of  the  happiest  experiences 
we  have  ever  known.

RGANIZATIONS 


GREEKS 


^^^smm  NCE  more  the  fraternities  are  back 
on  Lake  Forest  campus,  and  it 
^  was  with  eager  anticipation  that 
the  Greek  letter  organizations 
assembled  this  fall  with  the  hope 
of  participating  in  all  phases  of  campus  life 
together.  After  a  flurry  of  rushing  and  pledging 
the  Greeks  settled  down  to  more  serious  achieve- 
ments. Members  of  each  organization  co- 
operated with  each  other  on  committees  and 
competed  against  each  other  for  various  titles 
and  honors.  Each  of  the  fraternities  with  its 
sister  sorority  planned  a  weekend  event  for  the 
entire  school  and  did  many  other  things  on 
a  collective  scale. 

Through    their   intermediary   boards,   Pan- 
hellenic  and  the  Inter-Fraternity  Council,  the 


"Greeks"  were  able  to  run  things  very  smoothly 
throughout  the  year,  as  well  as  assist  in  many 
campus  activities. 

Our  fraternities  and  sororities  have  truly 
spent  a  profitable  year  and  the  adjustment 
which  was  needed  when  the  fraternities  re- 
organized has  been  ably  handled.  They  have 
played  their  part  in  campus  life  and  have 
helped  to  make  this  life  more  enjoyable  than 
ever.  We  look  now  toward  even  better  years 
with  the  Greek  letter  organizations  and  hope 
they  will  continue  to  live  up  to  the  standards 
they  have  set  for  themselves  in  "participating 
in"  and  "in  creating"  campus  activities.  We 
pause  here,  then  to  take  a  backward  glance  at 
the  Greeks  and  the  part  they  played  on  Lake 
Forest  campus. 


79 


PANHELLENIC 


ALPHA  DELTA  PI 


The  Panhellenic  Board  is  composed  of  twelve 
members,  with  each  of  the  four  sororities 
having  equal  representation.  The  members  are 
Alpha  Xi  Delta,  Norma  Sohn,  President,  Gloria 
Dran,  and  Frances  Proctor;  Alpha  Delta  Pi, 
Bette  Ann  Thompson,  Secretary,  Joan  Shearer, 
and  Judy  Harvey;  Chi  Omega,  Jeanne  Hale, 
Janet  Fiedler,  and  Charlotte  Black;  and  Gam- 
ma Phi  Beta,  Rose  Marie  Petty,  Peggy  Leith, 
and  Mary  Em  Yarnall.  Together  with  Dean 
Klink  as  the  advisor,  this  organization  handles 
all  affairs  connected  with  the  Greek  letter 
sororities  and  social  affairs  of  the  campus. 

The  purpose  of  this  group  is  two-fold:  (1) 
to  create  a  feeling  of  cooperation  and  good 
spirit  between  the  college  and  the  women  on 
Lake  Forest  campus,  and  (2)  to  benefit  and 
unite  the  interests  of  both  fraternity  and  non- 
fraternity  women  on  this  campus. 

During  the  year,  these  active  members  regu- 
late the  rules  for  rushing  parties  and  courtesy 
week,  announce  the  expenditures  allowed  for 
sorority  functions,  and  state  the  rules  in  regard 
to  how  the  sorority  annexes  in  Lois  Hall  rotate. 

This  year  they  have  set  up  a  Junior  Board 
composed  of  freshman  women  to  give  them  the 
general  idea  of  how  sororities  operate  at  Lake 
Forest  College. 

INTER-FRATERNITY  COUNCIL 

Similar  to  sorority  panhellenic  board  is  the 
Inter-Fraternity  Council  headed  this  year  by 
Tom  McEwen.  This  organization  this  year  has 
had  a  particularly  hard  job  in  establishing  the 
fraternities  once  more  on  campus  and  ironing 
out  all  the  many  difficulties  which  have  arisen. 
The  Inter-Fraternity  Council  is  responsible  for 
helping  the  fraternities  to  cooperate  with  each 
other  and  in  settling  all  inter-fraternity  week- 
ends. The  president  and  one  other  member  is 
selected  from  each  fraternity  to  serve  on  the 
council.  This  year  the  representatives  selected 
were  Alpha  Sigma  Kappa,  Tom  McEwen  and 
Bob  Wideman;  Digamma  Alpha  Upsilon,  Jack 
Howland  and  Jim  King;  Kappa  Sigma,  Bob 
Behlen  and  Russ  Tomlinson;  and  Phi  Pi 
Epsilon,  Bob  Bibbs  and  Bill  Westine.

ALPHA  XI  DELTA 

In  1932  Alpha  Xi  Delta  was  chartered  here 
at  Lake  Forest — the  first  national  sorority  on 
our  campus.  Alpha  Xi  was  founded  at  Lombard 
College  in  1893  and  became  nationalized  in 
1902.  We'll  remember  the  busy  year  Alpha  Xi 
had  and  its  energetic  gals — Truitt,  Dran,

DIGAMMA  ALPHA  UPSILON 

In  the  spring  of  their  senior  year  six  men  of 
the  class  of  1906  at  Lake  Forest  College  form- 
ally organized  Digamma  Alpha  Upsilon  Fra- 
ternity. The  fraternity  was  not  a  spontaneous 
gesture  on  the  part  of  these  six  men,  but  was 
rather  the  culmination  of  four  years  of  close 
friendship.  The  six  men  were  strong  in  college 
and  the  natural  desire  to  perpetuate  this 
friendship  resulted  in  the  drafting  of  a  constitu- 
tion and  the  granting  of  a  charter  by  the  college 
to    Digamma    Alpha    Fraternity.    This    year 


82 


marking  the  40th  anniversary  of  the  fraternity 
was  full  of  problems  due  mainly  to  the  fact 
that  the  fraternity  had  not  been  open  during 
the  past  three  years  of  war.  Thirty-five 
men  became  pledges  of  Digamma  on  October 
14,  1946,  which  was  followed  by  the  traditional 
"welcome"  party  afterwards  .  .  .  Among 
those  pledged  was  Mike  Powers,  who  later 
went  on  to  win  the  "Most  Valuable  Player" 
award  in  football  and  also  the  "Most  Typical 
Boy"  award  .  .  .  There  were  three  presidents 
— Alton  Swanson,  Jack  Howland,  and  Bill 
Maloney  .  .  .  The  initiation  banquet  was  a 
grand  affair  this  year  combining  with  it  an  an- 
niversary party  which  was  held  at  the  Swedish 
Club  in  Chicago  .  .  .  This  year,  it  can  be 
said,  was  a  good  one  despite  the  difficulties  of 
reorganization. 

KAPPA  SIGMA

1869  .  .  .  Alpha  Chi  Chapter  at  Lake  Forest

PHI  PI  EPSILON 

Phi  Pi  Epsilon,  the  grand-daddy  of  fraterni- 
ties on  campus,  is  fifty-three  years  old  and  still 
going  strong.  The  men  under  the  Crescent  and 
the  Eagle  made  their  presence  felt  in  many 
activities  .  .  .  Bill  Westine  headed  the 
Student  Center,  ruled  the  Commons,  and  was 
a  Who's  Who  in  American  Colleges  .  .  .  Bob 
Bibbs  in  addition  to  heading  the  house  through 
a  successful  first  semester,  played  a  stellar 
game  of  football  and  was  another  Who's  Who 
member  .  .  .  Bill  Kubasta,  president  for  the 
spring  term,  was  last  year's  Prom  King,  and 
chairman  of  the  Senior  Dance  for  this  year 
.  .  .  Phipe  intramural  teams  proved  a  head- 
ache for  the  rest  of  the  league  all  year.  But  the 
center  of  any  frat  house  is  the  chapter  room  so 
let's  pay  a  visit  to  the  tower  end  of  Blackstone 
Hall  and  see  what  is  coming  off.  You  would 
probably  be  met  at  the  door  by  "Barface"  who 
will  try  to  relieve  you  of  a  piece  of  your  ankle, 
but  above  the  anguished  crys  of  Earl  Barker 
from  the  heart  game,  you  will  probably  hear 
Ben  Andresky  telling  of  the  wonderful  days 
before  the  vets  got  back  .  .  .  After  being 
blown  against  the  wall  from  Marbach's  laugh 
you  will  probably  be  button-holed  by  the 
grand  old  man  George  Dietmeyer  who  will 
deliver  a  speech  on  the  benefits  of  married  life, 
assisted  by  Doug  AUeman  .  .  .  To  your  ears 
will  come  the  lilting  melodies  of  that  magnif- 
icent piano  duo,  Meyer  and  Linnell  .  .  .  Phil 
Mark,  the  fraternity  clotheshorse,  will  prob- 
ably drift  through  with  a  new  suit  and  a  bit  of 
dry  wit,  and  over  the  yells  for  the  boys  to  fill 
the  Coke  machine  will  sound  the  ringing  rasp 
of  Bill  Carlin  selling  sandwiches  .  .  .  and 
Fairbanks  instructing  the  pledges  ...  al- 
though at  times  resembling  a  madhouse,  the 
Phipes  presented  a  well-rounded  tight-knit 
group  .  .  .  and  the  close  of  another  successful 
year  in  Phi  Pi  Epsilon.

HONORS 


lAKE  Forest  offers  many  recogni- 

ttions  for  outstanding  work  done 
and  the  old  saying  "Hitch  your 
wagon  to  a  star"  goes  in  college 
life  as  elsewhere.  The  College 
realized  this  and  through  the  years  it  has 
created  "stars"  in  the  form  of  honorary 
societies  for  students  to  strive  to  reach.  The 
thing  we  like  most  about  our  stars  is  that  they 
actually  can  be  reached.  A  look  at  the  following 
pages  will  prove  that.  Our  stars  are  high — you 
have  to  stand  on  your  toes  to  get  them — but 
they  are  within  your  grasp.  Stretch  a  little 
more — you  can  get  one,  too. 


WHO'S  WHO  IN  AMERICAN  COLLEGES 

The  brightest  star  in  our  sky  is  one  that 
reflects  the  light  of  the  other  stars — it  is  Who's 
Who.  To  this  highest  collegiate  honor,  awarded 
on  the  basis  of  scholastic  and  extra-curricular 
merits,  eleven  seniors  were  named.  It  is  a 
great  honor  to  be  chosen  as  this  year's  repre- 
sentatives from  Lake  Forest  in  the  national 
roll  of  Who's  Who  in  American  Universities  and 
Colleges.  The  seniors  elected  this  year  to 
Who's  Who  are  O'Ray  Baxter,  W.A.A.  presi- 
dent from  the  Pacific  Coast  state  of  Oregon; 
Robert  Bibbs,  from  Mankato,  Minnesota,  an 


84 


Iron  Key  Man  and  president  of  Phi  Pi  Epsilon; 
Helen  Louise  Chase,  W.S.G.A.  president  from 
Oakmont,  Pennsylvania;  Gloria  Dran,  who  has 
been  outstanding  in  many  activities,  from 
Yonkers,  New  York;  Gloria  Frank,  super- 
efficient  girl  from  Chicago,  and  this  year's 
Forester  editor;  Jack  Howland,  from  Green 
Bay,  Wisconsin,  one  of  our  outstanding 
athletes  and  a  participant  in  many  campus 
activities;  Peggy  Leith,  talented  girl  from 
Waukegan,  who  has  been  outsanding  in  dra- 
matics as  well  as  in  many  other  activities; 
Paul  Lundell,  Student  Council  president,  from 
Northbrook;  Norma  Sohn,  from  Teaneck, 
New  York,  and  this  year's  Stentor  editor; 
Russell  Tomlinson,  from  Lake  Forest,  who  has 
put  forth  his  efforts  mainly  in  Garrick  and 
debate  work;  and  Bill  Westine,  from  Glenview, 
this  year's  Student  Center  chairman.  The 
list  of  their  accomplishments  is  impressive. 
Our  Who's  Who  members  are  true  leaders  and 
they  will  carry  on  the  tradition  with  futures 
just  as  successful  as  their  years  at  Lake  Forest. 

SIGMA  ETA 

In  1929  Sigma  Eta  was  created  to  encourage 
and  recognize  high  attainment  in  scholarship. 
Each  spring  the  faculty  members  of  Phi  Beta 
Kappa  elect  to  Sigma  Eta,  the  juniors  having 
the  highest  scholarship  record  providing  it  is 
not  below  2.8  and  the  seniors  receiving  the 
highest  marks  during  their  college  years  pro- 
viding they  do  not  fall  below  2.7.  To  be  eligible 
for  consideration  the  student  must  have  spent 
three  semesters  at  Lake  Forest.  Those  who 
won  Shield  Honors  in  years  previous  to  1929 
are  considered  as  members.  The  insignia  is  in 
the  form  of  a  key  with  the  college  seal  on  it  and 
the  Greek  letters  for  Sigma  Eta.  The  plaques 
are  placed  in  the  library  above  the  door  with 
the  names  of  those  chosen  engraved  upon  them. 
Last  year  Norma  Sohn,  Peggy  Leith  and  Daisy 
Hermann  were  elected  to  membership  in  this 
highly  honored  organization. 

IRON  KEY 

The  highest  of  all  honors  for  men,  awarded 
on  the  basis  of  all-round  development  is 
membership  in  the  Iron  Key.  Few  can  forget 


the  impressive  ceremony  at  Honor's  Day 
chapel  when  the  cloaked  brother  of  the  iron 
hand  taps  those  fortunates  who  have  made  the 
grade.  The  new  men  to  be  tapped  are  known  to 
none  but  members  until  the  bid  day.  In  the 
twenty-seven  years  since  its  founding  in  1920 
many  have  aspired  for  this  coveted  honor,  but 
few  have  been  chosen.  The  wearers  of  the  Iron 
Key  can  be  proud  of  the  star  they  have 
reached.  Bob  Bibbs  and  Paul  McKenna  are  the 
only  two  active  members  of  Iron  Key  on  the 
campus  this  year. 

KAPPA  ALPHA 

The  Iron  Key  has  a  "sister  star"  in  the  sky 
of  honors  in  Kappa  Alpha.  For  the  women  who 
at  the  end  of  their  junior  year  have  shown 
outstanding  constructive  educational  work  and 
who  have  upheld  college  loyalty  and  culture 
this  star  is  waiting.  Ever  since  its  founding 
locally  in  1919,  it  has  taken  an  active  interest 
in  college  activity  and  strived  to  promote  the 
ideals  of  the  school.  Honor's  Day  chapel  is  the 
culminating  point  for  the  organization  for  on 
that  day  the  new  members  are  announced  and 
initiated.  The  freshman  cup  is  awarded  by  the 
organization  to  the  girl  in  the  freshman  class 
who  has  proven  herself  outstanding.  This  year 
Peggy  Leith  heads  the  organization. 

PHI  SIGMA  ETA 

For  the  2.5  men  in  the 
freshman  class  the  honorary 
national  fraternity.  Phi  Eta 
Sigma,  invites  membership. 
Lake  Forest  College  had  the 
first  small  college  chapter  in 
the  country  organized  in  1929.  This  fraternity 
encourages  scholarship  among  freshman  men. 
Its  standards  are  high,  but  not  unattainable. 
At  Honor's  Day  chapel  the  organization 
awards  a  cup  to  the  man  with  the  highest 
average  in  the  freshman  class.  President  E.  A. 
Johnson  and  Dr.  R.  B.  Williams  are  honorary 
members  and  faculty  advisers.  Herb  Glasser 
is  president.  At  the  end  of  the  first  semester 
nine  new  members  were  taken  into  the  organ- 
ization— the  largest  single  group  to  be  added. 
The    following   men    were    initiated:   William

Parker,  John  Jerrard,  John  Bulger,  Harland 
Howard,  Leonard  DeMichele,  Guido  Lenzini, 
Bruce  Larsen,  Herbert  Hermann,  and  Ward 
Diethorn. 

ALPHA  LAMBDA  DELTA 

One  of  the  brightest  stars  is  that  of  Alpha 
Lambda  Delta,  national  honorary  society  for 
freshman  women.  How  proud  its  members  are 
of  the  height  they  have  attained  and  how 
proud  Lake  Forest  is  to  have  had  this  fine 
organization  since  1934.  Membership  is  at- 
tained by  any  freshman  girl  who  has  a  2.5 
average  at  the  end  of  her  first  semester  or  a  2.5 
average  at  the  end  of  her  freshman  year.  Once 
she  attains  this  mark  she  is  an  Alpha  Lambda 
Delta  for  life.  The  tiny  golden  lamp  on  her 
pin  represents  the  light  of  knowledge  that 
illuminates  the  world.  It  is  a  challenge  to  her  to 
keep  up  the  good  work  and  to  encourage 
scholarship  among  the  freshmen  that  enter 
every  year.  The  group  has  as  its  sponsors,  Dean 
Kathryn  Klink  and  Mrs.  E.  A.  Johnson.  This 
year  Margaret  Flood  is  president,  Betty 
Hennessey,  vice-president,  and  Lois  Lenters, 
secretary-treasurer.  Alpha  Lambda  Delta  in- 
itiated five  new  members  this  year — Sara  Jane 
Irwin,  Barbara  Hahn,  Doris  Beatty,  Lorene 
LaBelle,  and  Sandra  Glass. 

PI  ALPHA  CHI 

Talent  in  music  ?  Pi  Alpha 
Chi  will  interest  you.  It  was 
founded  in  1936  on  Lake 
Forest  campus  to  stimulate 
an  active  interest  in  music  and  an  apprecia- 
tion and  criticism  of  it.  Every  year  tryouts  for 
membership — an  instrumental  or  vocal  per- 
formance— are  held  by  the  members.  Those 
chosen  for  membership  represent  the  "cream" 
of  musical  talent  at  the  College.  The  assembly 
program  it  presented,  the  Christmas  concert  it 
sponsored  and  the  reports  of  entertainment  it 
has  given  on  various  occasions  are  proof  that 
Pi  Alpha  Chi  is  another  of  Lake  Forest's 
"stars". 

GARRICK 

One  of  our  oldest  "stars"  is  the  Garrick 
Club.  In  its  44th  season  it  holds  a  high  place  in 


the  sky  of  honor.  This  group  is  open  to  anyone 
who  is  sincerely  interested  in  dramatics  and 
able  to  meet  the  requirements  of  participation 
in  the  plays  produced.  Under  the  able  guidance 
of  Mr.  Tomlinson,  many  a  Garrick  player  has 
stepped  on  to  careers  in  the  theater  or  radio. 
The  student  body  as  well  as  the  town  people 
can  easily  agree  that  a  play  sponsored  by 
Garrick  is  always  a  successful  and  entertaining 
one.  Angel  Street  and  Junior  Miss,  the  two 
plays  presented  in  the  fall  semester  were 
splendid  examples  of  the  Garrick  ability. 
Garrick  is  an  honor  to  belong  to,  as  well  as  to 
have  present,  on  Lake  Forest  College  campus. 

PHI  SIGMA  IOTA 

One  of  the  oldest  fraternities  on  the  campus  is 
Phi  Sigma  Iota.  The  purpose  of  this  national 
honorary  organization  is  to  promote  interest  in 
countries  such  as  France,  Spain  and  Italy  and 
to  investigate  their  languages  and  their  litera- 
ture. By  doing  this,  the  members  hope  to 
achieve  a  closer  relationship  and  greater 
understanding  between  these  counties  and  the 
United  States.  Outstanding  language  majors 
form  the  nucleus  of  the  organization.  All 
students  majoring  in  romance  languages  and 
maintaining  an  "A-B"  average  in  their  lan- 
guage courses  are  eligible  for  membership.  The 
fraternity  is  under  the  sponsorship  of  Dr.  R.  B. 
Williams  and  Dr.  Madeline  Ashton. 

BETA  BETA  BETA 

Scientifically  minded?  But  more  specifically, 
biologically  minded?  Tri  Beta  has  a  place  for 
you  if  you  are  truly  interested.  The  chapter 
here  at  Lake  Forest,  organized  in  1935  is  just 
a  part  of  a  large  national  fraternity.  For 
students  who  are  interested  in  encouraging 
scholarly  achievement  in  biology  and  in  culti- 
vating an  intellectual  interest  in  the  natural 
sciences,  this  society  presents  many  oppor- 
tunities. The  activities  are  varied — field  trips, 
speakers,  and  informal  discussion  groups  offer 
opportunities  for  the  exchange  of  ideas  and 
the  encouragement  of  new  activities.  Dr.  Line- 
burg  is  the  able  sponsor.  The  officers  for  the 
year  are  president,  Dorothy  Distelhorst;  vice- 
president,  Bill  Jennings;  and  secretary,  Lois 
Lenters.

GOVERNING 


TUDENT  government  is  well 
practiced  on  this  campus  in  the 
form  of  our  three  self-governing 
units.  In  order  to  maintain  an 
integrated  and  successful  campus 
life  among  students  in  coopera- 
tion with  the  faculty,  a  representative  student 
governing  organization  is  necessary.  The  need 
for  this  has  been  recognized  and  Lake  Forest 
College  has  shown  its  fairness  in  providing  an 
opportunity  to  the  students  for  just  such  a 
system  of  self-government.  The  three  groups 
which  have  undertaken  this  task  are  the 
Student  Council,  the  chief  student  body  on 
campus,  the  Women's  Self-Government  As- 
sociation, which  deals  with  resident  women's 
problems,    and    the    Student    Center,    which 


provides  entertainment.  The  members  of 
these  organizations  have  worked  side  by  side 
in  an  attempt  to  establish  a  common  interest 
in  the  college  affairs  among  the  students  and 
to  tighten  the  ties  between  them  and  the 
administration  in  an  effort  to  provide  unity 
that  is  necessary  for  a  college  of  our  size. 


STUDENT  COUNCIL 

On  Lake  Forest  campus  we  have  a  fine 
student  governing  organization,  consisting  of 
elected  representatives  from  each  fraternal 
group  and  the  independent  groups,  which  holds 
weekly  meetings  with  faculty  advisers  in  an 
attempt    to   aid    the    welfare   of  their   fellow

^.-^ 


The    memorable 


students.  Long  hours  are  spent  in  helping  to 
establish  an  integrated  social  program  for  our 
campus  activities.  This  includes  planning  a 
calendar  to  include  all  events  sponsored  by 
the    various    organizations  r ,  ^ 

during  the  year  so  that  col- 
lege life  at  Lake  Forest  is 
not  all  work  and  no  play.  In 
fact,  the  council  itself  spon- 
sors several  important  func- 
tions during  each  term. 
White  Christmas  Formal,  held  at  the  Moraine 
Hotel,  can  trace  its  successful  evening  to  the 
council  and  that  organization  can  be  proud  of 
the  praises  bestowed  upon  them  for  the  very 
fine  decorations,  the  smooth  orchestra,  and 
another  happy  time  for  us  all  while  at  L.F.C. 
The  second  term  also  produced  a  big  event 
sponsored  by  the  Council  .  .  .  College  Day. 
This  was  a  well-planned,  fun-backed  day  with 
plenty  of  opportunity  for  us  to  show  prospec- 
tive students  the  fine  college  and  the  happy 
life  we  lead  here. 

Not  only  does  this  group  organize  our  social 
program  but  it  helps  us  in  expressing  to  the 
faculty  our  view  on  the  cut  system,  food, 
vacations,  and  other  problems  which  may  arise 
on  a  college  campus.  Through  arbitrary, 
harmonious  meetings,  the  council  and  the 
faculty  have  ironed  out  many  misunderstand- 
ings and  have  achieved  their  goal  of  aiding 
the  welfare  of  the  students. 

Paul  Lundell  has  led  the  Student  Council 
this  year  and  has  had  the  capable  assistance  of 
the  vice-president,  Wally  Spooner,  followed  by 
Othello  Ellis  the  second  term,  and  Sunny 
Chase,  secretary-treasurer. 

STUDENT  CENTER 

The  Student  Center  is  a  group  of  students, 
each  representing  a  campus  organization,  who 
endeavor  to  plan  a  program  of  social  activities 
for  all  the  fellows  and  girls  attending  L.F.C. 
All  those  quizzes  we  attended  during  the  year 
were  sponsored  and  conducted  by  its  members 
and  a  lot  of  enjoyment  resulted  from  those 
brain  teasers.  Another  series  of  events  that  the 
Student  Center  planned  was  the  number  of 
exciting  volleyball  and  basketball  games  played 
between    fraternities   and   sororities.    Student 


Center  activities  are  not  hmited  to  sponsoring 
planned  entertainment  as  they  also  take  care  of 
the  recreation  room  in  College  Hall;  being 
responsible  for  keeping  the  balls  and  paddles 
supplied  for  the  ping  pong  table,  keeping  the 
billiard  table  in  condition,  and  supplying 
plenty  of  cards  for  bridge.  Practically  every 
student  on  campus  has  at  one  time  had  some 
fun  that  they  owed  to  chairman  Bill  Westine 
and  the  other  members  of  the  Student  Center, 
for  they  have  faithfully  kept  some  sort  of 
entertainment  open  for  our  use. 

WOMEN'S  SELF-GOVERNING 
ASSOCIATION 

What  is  this  W.S.G.A.  we  hear  so  much 
about  every  time  a  new  ruling  for  the  girls 
goes  into  effect?  It's  none  other  than  the 
Women's  Self-Government  Association  com- 
prised of  selected  and  elected  women  students 
from  Lake  Forest  campus.  This  organization 
decides  on  all  issues  concerning  the  rights  of 
the  resident  women  .  .  .  what  permissions  are 
fair,  quiet  hours  during  exam  week,  regulations 
as  to  guests  in  the  dormitories  and  all  the  other 
problems  which  need  guidance  in  order  to  keep 
the  women's  life  on  campus  running  smoothly 
and  fairly. 

This  organization,  which  is  advised  by  Dean 
Klink,  has  a  fine,  representative  membership 
under  the  adept  leadership  of  its  president, 
Sunny  Chase.  O'Ray  Baxter  as  vice-president 
was  chairman  of  the  annual  W.S.G.A.  Formal 
which  proved  to  be  one  of  the  most  successful 
social  affairs  of  the  year.  Acting  as  secretary  for 
the  first  term  was  Daisy  Morris,  followed  by 
Sally  Stephenson  when  Daisy  became  a  com- 
muter in  the  second  term. 

W.S.G.A.  meets  weekly  and  works  always 
toward  making  life  fair  among  the  women 
students.  This  has  meant  campusing  some  of 
the  girls  plus  a  few  strict  regulations  but  on  the 
other  hand  it  is  W.S.G.A.  which  extends  those 
permissions  for  the  mid-week  athletic  activities 
and  for  those  big  formals  when  2:00  seems  very 
nice  instead  of  the  regular  1 :10.  So,  as  you  see, 
the  Women's  Self-Government  Association,  a 
permanent  organization  established  for  the 
welfare  of  the  girls,  is  proving  itself  to  be  well 
worth  its  while.

PUBLICATIONS 


ITERARY  talent  and  inspira- 
tions are  given  great  recognition 
on  Lake  Forest  campus  through 
work  on  our  three  publications, 
the  Stentor,  Forester,  and  Tusi- 
tala.  Talent  ranging  from  feature 
writing  to  business  management  can  be  utilized 
in  the  production  of  these  three  publications 
each  year  and  a  great  many  students  have 
cooperated  together  to  make  possible  the 
publishing  of  these  three  fine  works  of  which 
Lake  Forest  will  long  be  proud. 

STENTOR 

Headed  this  year  by  editor  Norma  Sohn,  the 
Stentor  tried  and  succeeded  in  enlarging  the 
paper  to  a  six  page  weekly.  Monday  and  Tues- 


day nights  in  the  Stentor  office  looked  like  a 
very  thankless  job  to  we  who  looked  in  after 
night  classes  or  on  our  way  home  from  the 
Coffee  Shop — but  those  who  worked  on  the 
paper  gained  much  along  vocational  lines — and 
had  a  wonderful  time  doing  it — so  we're  told! 

Sharing  honors  for  a  good  job  well  done  is 
Bill  Westine,  who  served  this  year  as  Business 
Manager  for  the  paper.  "Tippecanoe"  Westine 
began  the  year  with  practically  no  staff  and 
during  the  space  of  a  few  months,  acquired  a 
staff  that  ran  as  smoothly  as  a  machine.  He's 
the  boy  who  was  largely  responsible  for  those 
six-page  papers. 

Working  under  editor-in-chief,  Sohn,  were 
news-editor.  Sue  Kastler  and  assistant  Jo 
Paskins.  Jean  Hale  served  as  feature  editor  and 
Jack  Gennaro  as  campus  editor.  Wally  Witt 


89 


had  full  charge  of  the  sports  page.  This  year  a 
new  department  was  instituted  in  the  paper — 
the  world  news  department.  It  was  efficiently 
handled  by  Gloria  Dran.  Elaine  Truitt  had 
charge  of  circulation,  Natsu  Ota  was  proof 
reading  editor,  and  Helen  Harris  headed  the 
typing  staff. 

This  year  an  old  Lake  Forest  tradition  was 
re-established  by  the  paper.  In  yea/s  past  it  has 
always  been  the  custom  for  the  regular  staff  to 
resign  for  a  week  in  favor  of  the  underclassmen. 

For  this  week,  the  underclassman  editor 
must  wrestle  with  all  the  problems — and 
sometimes  more — which  are  encountered  by 
the  regular  staff.  This  year,  Jo  Paskins,  a 
sophomore,  headed  the  staff  for  the  under- 
classman issue  of  the  paper.  Jim  Crassweller 
assisted  her  as  news  editor, 
|j/  Laura  Jennings,  as  feature 
i/y  editor,  and  Lynn  Beidler, 
as  campus  editor. 


FORESTER 

The  Forester — Lake  Forest's  annual  record 
of  campus  life — was  headed  this  year  by 
editor,  Gloria  Frank.  An  efficient  job  was  done 
in  grappling  with  engravers,  printers  and  the 
post  office  facilities  in  producing  this  year's 
book.  T\\^Forester  staff  has  made  it  their  job 
to  cover  all  events  on  campus  ranging  from 
formal  affairs  to  informal  candid  shots  of 
students  about  campus. 

The  1947  Forester  owes  a  great  deal  of  credit 
to  the  many  students  who  worked  so  hard  and 
gave  so  much  time  to  the  various  phases  of  its 
publication.  Margaret  Flood  was  copy  editor 
with  the  following  people  working  under  her: 
Bob  Lanum,  Sara  Jane  Irwin,  Barbara  Hahn, 
Ruth  Reisman,  Lois  Lenters,  Barbara  Coss, 
Sue  Kastler,  Dotty  Broberg,  Esther  Oman, 
Dorcas  Brausch,  Betty  Lu  Avildsen,  Demi 
Bowers,  Jim  Crassweller,  and  Laura  Jennings. 
Joan  Hitchcock  was  photography  editor 
with  Emalou  Bishop  as  her  assistant,  Mary 
Jane  Magruder,  art  editor;  Bee  Morris,  busi- 
ness and  advertising  manager;  Bill  Van  Kueren, 
photographer;  Bettie  Zillman,  faculty  and 
administration   editor,   assisted   by  Jean   Ely 


and  Virginia  Kissel;  Lucille  Bischoff,  class 
editor;  Peggy  Leith,  organizations  editor; 
Carol  Wilson,  student  life  editor;  and  Norma 
Tess,  athletic  editor.  As  a  result  of  their  work 
and  cooperation  this  year's  1947  Forester  comes 
to  you  for  your  approval. 

TUSITALA 

Tusitala  has  long  been  a  custom  of  the  col- 
lege. It  was  established  years  ago  as  a  magazine 
for  the  purpose  of  publishing  creative  achieve- 
ments of  the  student  body  along  literary  lines. 
The  publication  was  named,  strangely  enough, 
after  Robert  Louis  Stephenson,  who  was  given 
that  name  by  the  natives  of  Tahite.  Literally 
translated  it  means  "Teller  of  Tales" — and 
that  is  the  solution  of  Tusitala's  name.  For 
several  years  the  magazine  was  forced  to  go 
unpublished — sometimes  for  lack  of  printing 
materials,  sometimes  for  lack  of  copy.  This 
year's  editor,  Dorothy  Jansen,  has  overcome 
both  obstacles  and  the  Tusitala  will  once  again 
be  printed.  Purposes  of  the  1947  Tusitala  were 
to  synthesize  the  important  thoughts  and 
emotions  of  the  new  post-war  era,  so  as  to  have 
a  record  of  the  growth  of  our  ideals  along  with 
the  maturing  of  our  country.  Dave  Samples, 
Laura  Jennings,  and  Demi  Bowers  worked  as 
a  staff  under  Dorothy.  As  a  result  of  much 
Tusitala  publicity  throughout  the  campus,  a 
great  deal  of  copy  v/as  turned  in.  It  was  the 
job  of  this  staff  to  read  all  of  this  copy,  evaluate 
its  worth,  and  if  possible,  find  a  place  for  it  in 
the  publication. 

Tusitala  was  organized,  this  year,  with  the 
idea  of  giving  every  contribution  the  same 
attention  and  honest  judgment  which  is 
necessary  to  put  out  a  magazine  which  will 
contain  the  finest  literary  work  submitted. 
This  year  anew  system  of  judging  was  initiated. 
The  name  of  the  contributor  was  removed 
from  the  work  and  a  number  was  substituted. 
This  insured  the  highest  degree  of  impartial 
judgment  possible. 

The  first  post-war  edition  of  Tusitala  came 
out  in  April  of  1947 — and,  thanks  to  Dotty 
Jansen,  Dave  Samples,  Laura  Jennings,  and 
Demi  Bowers,  it  measured  up  to — and  sur- 
passed— the  Tusitala's  of  old.

CLUBS 


GREAT  variety  of  clubs  are  open 
to  every  student  who  cares  to 
devote  some  of  his  extra-curricular 
time  to  them.  In  these  ten  organiza- 
tions which  have  been  classed  as 
clubs,  we  find  a  great  majority  of  our  students 
represented. 

The  talent  found  here  ranges  from  those  who 
are  students  in  French  and  economics  to  those 
who  care  to  devote  their  time  to  such  things  as 
debating.  These  varied  organizations  speak 
well  for  the  opportunities  which  Lake  Forest 
leaves  open  for  its  students.  We  are  proud  to 
join  these  groups  as  well  as  we  are  proud  to 
have  them  represented  on  our  campus.  They 
speak  well  for  the  college  in  that  they  incite 
interest  in  many  fields  and  help  us  all  in  our 
search  for  greater  varieties  of  activity  and  for 


more  practice  in  actual  organization  and  par- 
ticipation in  groups. 

INDEPENDENT   MEN'S  CLUB 

On  every  college  campus  there  is  a  group  of 
men  not  affiliated  with  any  fraternity.  Here  at 
Lake  Forest  College  the  Independent  Men's 
Club  is  the  largest  single  organization  on 
campus.  Its  purpose  is  to  give  the  independent 
men  of  this  college  a  campus  voice  and  to 
represent  them  in  all  activities.  There  are  no 
requirements,  no  rituals,  or  monetary  obliga- 
tions connected  with  the  I.M.C.  It  holds  in- 
formal meetings  about  once  a  week.  Here 
"gripes"  and  student  problems  are  aired  out 
and  brought  to  the  attention  of  the  Student 
Council  representative  who    in   turn  presents 


91 


them  to  the  council  at  regularmeetings.  Also, 
at  regular  meetings,  the  independents  discuss 
plans   for   dances,   organize   their   intramural 
athletic  teams  and  work  out 
plans    for    raising    money 
which  goes  back  into  other 
independent  activities. 

I.M.C.  officers  are  chosen 
at  the  beginning  of  every 
year.  Jim  Crassweller,  a 
freshman  from  Chicago  and 
a  graduate  of  Todd  Boys  School  in  Woodstock, 
Illinois,  was  this  year's  president.  Othello 
"Ace"  Ellis,  a  sophomore  from  Waukegan,  and 
graduate  of  Du  Sable  High  School  in  Chicago, 
was  secretary-treasurer.  The  group  also  has 
two  student  council  representatives.  They  were 
Robert  Albrecht,  a  junior  from  Chicago  and 
formerly  from  University  of  Minnesota  and 
Northwestern  University,  and  "Ace"  Ellis. 
Gordon  Lane,  another  sophomore  from  Wil- 
mette,  is  I.M.C.  representative  to  the  Intra- 
mural Control  Board. 

The  1946-47  school  year  has  been  one  of 
the  most  successful  for  the  Independent  Men's 
Club.  For  the  first  time  in  the  school's  history, 
the  independent  men  captured  the  prized 
Iron  Key  Float  Trophy  for  the  most  original 
homecoming  float  in  the  men's  division.  The 
I.M.C.  with  the  independent  women  sponsored 
the  first  annual  "Dream  Date"  raffle.  The 
organization's  future  plans  include  the  decora- 
tion and  furnishing  of  its  first  recreation  lounge 
in  Harlan  Hall  Annex. 

INDEPENDENT  WOMEN'S  CLUB 

The  Independent  Women's  Club,  better 
known  around  Lake  Forest  campus  as  the 
I.W.C.  is  a  fine  and  busy  group  of  our  co-eds.  It 
is  an  association  organized  with  the  express 
purpose  of  giving  all  those  Lake  Forest  women 
not  affiliated  with  the  Greek  letter  sororities  a 
chance  to  participate  in  campus  activities  as  a 
group.  This  is  an  equality  that  is  duly  ap- 
preciated and  taken  advantage  of  by  its  mem- 
bers. Presiding  at  the  weekly  meetings  of 
I.W.C.  is  Audrey  Ardies,  a  senior  and  Johns- 
Manville  student  from  Toronto,  Canada. 
Other  officers  are  Avis  Kleinman,  sophomore 
from    Chicago,    vice-president;     Betty    Jane 


Sackman,  senior,  from  St.  Cloud,  Minnesota, 
secretary;  and  Betty  Peterson,  freshman  from 
Elgin,  Treasurer. 

As  an  organized  group  the  Independent 
Women's  Club  sponsors  volleyball,  basketball 
and  baseball  teams  to  compete  in  the  intra- 
mural games  on  the  campus.  They  also  nomi- 
nate and  support  a  candidate  for  all  the 
campus  queen  elections.  Once  a  month  the 
independent  women  meet  in  the  lounge  of 
Alice  Burhans  for  bridge  games.  This  is  only 
one  phase  of  their  social  life  as  a  group, 

FRENCH  CLUB 

The  French  Club  is  a  product  of  reconversion 
on  Lake  Forest  campus.  After  having  dis- 
appeared along  with  auto  tires,  meat,  sugar 
and  other  rationed  items  during  the  war,  this 
organization  was  resurrected  from  its  past  by 
the  influence  of  Jack  Brown.  No  one  on  the 
campus  at  the  present  seems  to  know  very 
much  about  the  history  of  the  French  Club, 
except  that  it  was  present  in  former  years.  The 
purpose  of  the  French  Club  is  to  stimulate  an 
interest  in  the  French  language,  literature  and 
people.  Here  students  are  also  able  to  obtain 
information  supplementary  to  that  gained  in 
their  regular  courses  of  study.  The  meetings 
this  year  consisted  of  talks  on  Paris,  discus- 
sions of  France  in  general  and  listening  to 
records.  Dr.  Madeline  Ashton  is  faculty  ad- 
visor of  the  French  Club. 

Membership  into  this  select  group  is  not 
obtained  by  simply  parlez-vousing  francais. 
Only  those  students  currently  earning  a  "B" 
in  French  203-204  or  a  more  advanced  course 
are  eligible  for  membership.  Because  of  these 
rather  strict  requirements,  there  are  only  six 
members.  This  small  group  includes  Selma 
Blumenkrantz  of  New  York  City,  who  carries 
her  New  York  accent  over  into  French;  Demi 
Bowers  of  Fargo,  North  Dakota;  Jack  Brown, 
commuter  from  Evanston,  who  is  vice-presi- 
dent of  the  group;  Marge  Davis,  who  uses  her 
Pittsburgh  accent  in  French  also;  Judy  Hawkes 
of  Peoria,  Joan  Hitchcock,  whose  home  is  in 
Brussels,  Belgium,  and  who  is  president  of 
the  club;  and  Fren  Jansen,  who  comes  from 
Sycamore,  Illinois

DEBATE 


ECONOMICS  CLUB 


On  campus  there  is  one  group  who  especially 
likes  to  talk  and  argue;  the  L.F.C.  debators. 
This  year  the  question  was  "Resolved:  that 
labor  should  be  given  a  direct  share  in  the 
management  of  industry".  At  the  beginning  of 
the  year  and  in  between  tournaments,  practice 
debates  were  held  with  individual  colleges 
including  Mundelein  College,  Northwestern 
University,  Morton  College,  Carroll  College, 
and  Marquette  University.  The  season  came 
into  full  swing  when  the  group  of  eight  de- 
bators attended  the  State  Invitational  Meet 
at  DeKalb,  Illinois.  Following  this  on  February 
28  and  March  1  was  the  Forensic  Tournament 
at  Southern  Illinois  State  Normal  College  in 
Carbondale,  and  on  March  28  and  29  was  the 
Twelfth  Annual  State  tournement  at  Illinois 
Wesleyan  College. 

Debating  is  not  a  new  activity  at  L.F.C. 
When  Mr.  Russell  Tomlinson  came  here  in 
1928  he  started  from  the  bottom  and  slowly 
formed  an  active  group.  At  first  the  team  con- 
sisted only  of  men,  but  the  women  came  to 
power  and  joined  them  in  1935.  Sometime  in 
the  early  '30's,  debating  was  put  on  a  com- 
petitive basis.  The  L.F.C.  teams  took  trips 
through  the  midwest,  visiting  such  schools  as 
Wabash  and  DeKalb.  This  loquacious  school 
group  became  prominent  in  1932  when  it  made 
the  remarkable  record  of  winning  11  out  of 
12  debates  at  Manchester  College.  Lake  Forest 
has  sent  teams  to  the  University  of  Iowa,  the 
University  of  Wisconsin,  and  other  prominent 
educational  institutions  for  tournaments.  The 
teams  have  won  first  place  trophies  in  the 
Illinois  Inter-Collegiate  Debate  Tournament 
four  years  in  a  row — 1939,  1940,    1941   and 

1942.  From  this  point  on  the  group  continued 
to  do  well  until  its  temporary  termination  in 

1943,  due  to  Mr.  Tomlinson's  absence. 

The  group  this  year  was  comprised  of  Audrey 
Ardies,  Sunny  Chase,  O'Ray  Baxter,  Betty 
Bennett,  Jeanne  Hale,  Barb  Hahn,  Ken  War- 
ren, Russ  Tomlinson  and  Don  Wiiken.  Mr. 
Martin  is  the  coach  while  Mrs.  Douglas,  a 
former  star  L.F.C.  debator,  assisted  him  at 
meets. 


At  the  November  meeting  of  the  Economics 
Club,  Don  Wiiken  was  elected  president  of  the 
group  and  Shirley  Flood  was  elected  vice- 
president.  This  was  the  first  meeting  of  the 
1946-47  school  year.  The  Economics  Club  is  not 
a  newly  organized  group  as  it  has  been  func- 
tioning for  a  good  many  years.  Its  purpose  is  to 
have  group  discussions  comprised  of  students 
majoring  in  economics  and  who  are  interested 
in  current  events.  All  students  majoring  in 
economics  and  who  are  interested  in  these  out- 
of  classroom  discussions  are  eligible.  This  year 
has  been  quite  an  active  one  for  the  group  in 
spite  of  the  other  numerous  activities  on 
campus.  Don  Wiiken  and  the  club's  faculty 
sponsor,  Mr.  Keller,  have  managed  to  make 
each  discussion  interesting  and  certainly  worth- 
while for  those  attending. 

At  one  meeting  they  had  as  the  guest 
speaker,  Hugo  S.  Sonnenschien,  Jr.,  a  Lake 
Forest  alumnus.  Mr.  Sonnenschien  spoke  on 
the  "portal  to  portal"  suits;  one  of  the  year's 
most  controversial  subjects.  Future  plans 
which  have  been  partly  carried  out  this  year 
include  new  speakers  at  each  meeting.  The 
club  plans  to  have  representatives  from  both 
labor  and  management  in  order  that  its  mem- 
bers may  receive  a  broad  view  of  the  current 
labor  problem. 

The  1946-47  school  year  for  the  Economics 
Club  has  been  a  successful  one  and  with  future 
plans  being  formed  to  include  a  larger  group, 
its  prospects  for  next  year  look  bright. 

INTERNATIONAL  RELATIONS  CLUB 

There  is  at  Lake  Forest  College  an  organiza- 
tion whose  membership  is  open  to  everyone; 
providing  they  have  an  interest  in  and  like  to 
discuss  current  world  affairs  and  international 
issues.  One  of  the  most  popular  activities  on  the 
campus,  this  group  has  as  its  advisor.  Dr. 
Hartzo.  President,  Lila  Spannenberg,  vice- 
president,  Harry  Kunzer,  and  treasurer,  Car- 
olyn Spiwak,  are  at  the  head  of  this  discussion 
group. 

The  International  Relations  Club,  a  national 
organization,  was  established  at  Lake  Forest 


93 


College  in  1931  by  the  Carnegie  Foundation 
for  International  peace.  This  endowment 
supplies  the  I.R.C.  with  periodicals,  pamphlets, 
and  books  which  are  found  in  the  library.  The 
Carnegie  Foundation  has  offices  in  New  York, 
Washington,  Paris,  and  London.  On  April  4 
and  5  members  of  the  I.R.C.  attended  a 
regional  conference  at  Butler  University.  Here 
schools  from  the  middle  west  met  for  a  business 
meeting  and  discussion  groups.  The  programs 
of  the  International  Relations  Club  are  dis- 
cussions planned  on  some  phase  of  current 
world  affairs  and  international  problems. 

STUDENT  CHRISTIAN  ASSOCIATION 

The  Student  Christian  Association  is  one  of 
the  most  progressive  and  best  organized 
groups  on  campus.  The  S.C.A.  led  by  Paul 
Lundell,  is  comparatively  new  on  the  campus, 
but  the  1946-47  year  has  been  a  banner  one. 

S.C.A.'s  policy  is  typical  of  the  group's 
democratic  platform.  The  association  is  to 
include  members  of  all  denominations  and 
religious  faiths.  The  group  has  weekly  discus- 
sions, held  on  Sunday  night  at  the  Presby- 
terian Church  in  Lake  Forest.  During  the  first 
semester,  dinners  were  held  every  Sunday  with 
discussions  immediately  following.  The  pro- 
gram for  the  second  semester  was  altered  a 
little.  Dinners  were  held  twice  monthly  and 
took  place  in  the  members'  homes  on  a  rota- 
tion system. 

Field  trips,  community  sings,  picnics  and 
general  discussions  are  held  regularly.  On 
November  10,  the  group  went  to  Zion,  Illinois, 
to  see  "Pilgrim's  Progress".  Numerous  speakers 
have  been  guests  of  the  group.  These  and 
other  activities  reflect  the  versatile  nature  of 
the  Student  Christian  Association. 

S.C.A.  is  open  to  everyone.  Most  of  the 
Sunday  night  discussions  are  led  by  the  mem- 
bers themselves  and  are  based  around  problems 
we  all  are  exposed  to,  such  as,  "What  Does 
Christianity  Demand  of  a  Person".  This  dis- 
cussion was  led  by  Sunny  Chase  on  October  27. 

Mr.  Andrus,  minister  of  the  Lake  Forest 
Presbyterian  Church,  was  the  discussion  leader 
on  November  17.  The  topic  was  "Free  Will  and 
Determination".  Dr.  Ernest  Johnson  is  also 
frequently  a  discussion  leader. 

94 


The  officers  of  the  S.C.A.  are  all  well  known 
campus  people.  They  are  Paul  Lundell,  presi- 
dent; Carol  Wilson,  vice-president  and  program 
chairman;  Helen  Louise  Chase,  secretary; 
Kenneth  Warren,  treasurer;  O'Ray  Baxter  and 
Russ  Tomlinson,  area  representatives,  and 
A.  Myrvin  DeLapp,  adviser. 

RED  CROSS 

A  Red  Cross  college  unit  was  chartered  at 
Lake  Forest  College  in  1943  and  now  operates 
under  the  supervision  of  the  Chicago  head- 
quarters. The  officers  of  this  organization  are 
president,  Bettie  Zillman,  Milwaukee,  Wis- 
consin; vice-president,  Marian  Klammt,  Yon- 
kers,  New  York;  secretary,  Jeanne  Hale,  St. 
Louis,  Missouri;  publicity  chairman,  Margaret 
Flood,  Gurnee,  Illinois;  production  chairman, 
Betty  Lu  Avildsen,  Oak 
Park,  Illinois;  camp  and 
hospital  chairman,  Janet 
Fiedler,  Yonkers,  New 
York;  water  safety  chair- 
man, Carol  Wilson,  Mich- 
igan City,  Indiana;  and  drive  chairman.  Bee 
Morris,  Wilmette,  Illinois. 

These  representatives  from  Lake  Forest 
College  have  attended  numerous  meetings  in 
Chicago  and  have  brought  back  to  the  campus 
the  Red  Cross,  its  aims  and  needs. 

Bee  Morris,  drive  chairman,  headed  the 
annual  national  Red  Cross  Fund  Campaign 
which  was  this  year  held  from  March  1  to  15. 

At  the  request  of  this  group  all  the  girls  of 
the  college  were  feverishly  at  work  this  year 
knitting  squares  to  make  afghans.  Those  who 
didn't  know  how  to  knit  learned  so  they  could 
donate  their  two  squares  to  the  finished  job. 

Several  times  during  the  year  girls  from  Lake 
Forest  College  under  the  supervision  of  the 
Red  Cross  have  gone  to  Fort  Sheridan  and 
Great  Lakes  to  entertain  the  men  there  at 
dances  and  parties. 

In  previous  years  the  committee  has  spon- 
sored life  saving  and  instruction  classes  for 
women,  but  this  year  this  was  discontinued 
because  there  was  not  a  swimming  pool  avail- 
able. 

Miss  Madeline  Ashton  is  the  faculty  advisor 
of  the  Red  Cross  college  unit  at  Lake  Forest. 


JOHNS-MANVILLE 

1947  marks  the  end  of  an  era  here  at  Lake 
Forest  College.  The  "J-M"  girls  who  brought 
this  new  phase  to  our  campus  will  graduate 
this  June.  However,  a  new  era  is  beginning  with 
the  arrival  last  fall  of  eight  men,  who  as  juniors 
are  starting  their  first   year  as"J-M's". 

Johns-Manville  has  brought  to  Lake  Forest 
College  students  from  all  sections  of  the  United 
States  and  even  Canada.  It  is  easy  to  see  this 
geographical  distribution  when  we  know  that 
Hal  Larsen,  Bob  Lineberger,  and  Bill  Sandon 
are  from  California.  Other  representatives  of 
the  west  are  Dick  Strom,  the  only  senior  boy, 
from  Washington,  and  O'Ray  Baxter  from 
Oregon.  Canada  sends  us  Dick  Park,  Len 
Tyrrell,  Audrey  Ardies  and  Betty  Benett. 
Quite  close  to  home  are  Bob  McGonagil,  Ann 
Shumaker,  Dottie  Broberg  and  Esther  Oman 
of  Chicago  and  Peggy  Leith  and  Betsy  Schlung 
of  Waukegan.  Other  middle  westerners  are 
Rosie  Petty  and  Sally  Stephenson  of  Indiana, 
Jeanne  Hale  of  Missouri,  Lennie  Middleton 
from  Ohio,  Elaine  Truitt  from  Michigan  and 
Bernice  Zeitler  from  Wisconsin.  The  east  is 
well  represented  by  Sunny  Chase  from  Penn- 
sylvania, Norma  Sohn  and  Jeanne  Daniels 
from  New  Jersey,  Janet  Fiedler,  Marian 
Klammt,  Maren  Nyhagen,  Betty  Thompson 
and  Gloria  Dran  from  New  York.  Paul 
Yorkston  comes  from  Maine.  Mary  Jane 
Magruder  is  the  lone  representative  from  the 
south — the  state  of  Georgia. 

These  students  were  awarded  scholarships 
on  the  basis  of  scholastic  achievement,  leader- 
ship, character,  and  extra-curricular  activity. 
Through  their  years  at  Lake  Forest  the 
"J-M's"  have  maintained  reputations  as  out- 
standing leaders  on  the  campus. 

The  "J-M"  program  is  a  coordinated  college 
and  business  training  course  in  which  the 
student  carries  the  usual  college  hours  and 
during  the  week  works  two  days  for  Johns- 
Manville  in  either  their  Waukegan  or  Chicago 
plant.  Throughout  this  period  they  were 
trained  in  every  phase  presented  by  the  diversi- 
fied business  of  Johns-Mansville.  There  are 
some  business  courses  which  the  "J-M's"  are 
required  to  take.  They  then  select  their  own 
subjects  and  may  major  in  the  field  of  their 


choice.  Counselor  to  the  students  in  the  pro- 
gram is  Miss  Oma  Bishop. 

In  the  four  years  they  have  been  a  part  of 
our  campus  life,  the  "J-M's"  have  contributed 
much  to  the  fine  standards  of  Lake  Forest. 
They  have  received  their  college  education  and 
business  training  and  are  now  ready  to  step 
into  positions  of  responsibility  with  Johns- 
Manville  plants  all  over  the  United  States  and 
Canada. 

WAITS 

The  Waits — these  are  the  fellows  that  come 
tripping  gaily  out  of  the  inner  regions  of  the 
kitchen  and  deposit  the  varied  concoctions 
under  our  noses.  These  are  the  little  men  that 
slip  away  with  our  half  finished  dessert  dishes, 
the  minute  we  look  in  the  other  direction.  They 
are  the  bane  of  our  existence,  but  we  love  them 
— everyone. 

On  top  of  the  heap  is  our  conscientious  King 
of  Commons,  Bud  Quinlan.  The  crown  isn't 
showing,  but  he  wears  a  one-hundred  caret 
smile. 

There  is  also  the  King  of  Kitchen,  Rex 
Dahmes.  The  third  distinguished  member  of 
this  trio  is  checker,  Bob  Bibbs.  With  an  eagle 
eye  he  ferrets  out  any  ofF-campus  students — 
guests  to  those  who  know  the  language  of  the 
Commons.  There  are  other  notables,  too.  Jack 
O'Rourke  is  the  one  and  only  Wait  to  exceed 
the  J5.00  breakage  fee.  He  plays  football,  too. 
(Any  connection?)  Paul  McKenna,  with  the 
able  assistance  of  Lowell  Fisher  takes  charge 
of  coffee  and  milk.  Earl  Barker  marks  his  place 
for  posterity  by  being  the  slowest  wait.  Others 
on  the  staflF  are  two  chefs  and  five  women 
assistants — and  last,  but  not  least,  is  Mrs. 
Anna  Smith,  making  a  grand  total  of  thirty- 
seven. 

The  Waits  eat  before  the  students.  There  are 
supposedly  thirty-five  minutes  of  actual  wait- 
ing time  but  the  fellows  try  to  speed  this  up. 

Due  to  the  increased  enrollment  this  year  it 
was  necessary  to  again  use  the  dining  room  in 
Lois  Durand  Hall.  Here  about  ninety  girls 
from  Alice  and  Lois  take  their  meals.  Lila 
Spannenberg  reigns  as  Queen  of  Lois  with 
fourteen  girls  and  three  fellows  obeying  her 
every  command.  1946  saw  the  addition  of  Miss 
DeVaney  as  dietician.

MUSIC 


ROM  the  walls  of  Academia  we 
daily  hear  the  echoes  of  much  act- 
ivity in  the  Department  of  Music 
which  is  open  to  all.  Everyone 
has  a  chance  to  participate  in  the 
courses  it  offers  and  in  its  extra-curricular  ac- 
tivities. Every  course  and  activity  is  open  to 
those  who  want  to  learn  about  music,  or  who 
want  to  enjoy  its  recreational  qualities.  The 
music  department  is  not  trying  to  produce  and 
train  professionals,  but  to  provide  a  wholesome 
program  of  music  courses  and  extra-curricular 
music  recreation. 

In  the  past,  the  department  has  consisted  of 
just  a  few  courses.  Music  was  used  more  as  an 
extra-curricular  type  of  activity.  Some  of  the 


teachers  then  were  on  a  part-time;  some  on  a 
full-time  basis.  When  we  started  out  this  year, 
it  was  felt  that  there  was  enough  talent  in  the 
school  to  warrant  more  use  of  the  music 
department,  and  there  was  plenty  of  demand 
for  its  courses.  The  whole  program  of  music  was 
completely  revised.  The  student  may  now 
make  music  his  major  subject.  A  complete 
major  is  offered  in  either  the  field  of  theory, 
voice,  piano,  band  or  orchestra.  New  courses 
have  been  added  to  the  curriculum  in  a  number 
of  advanced  theoretical  subjects  as  well  as  in 
elementary  ones.  The  department  offers  work 
in  beginning  and  advanced  theory,  harmony, 
music  appreciation,  and  history,  plus  ele- 
mentary and  specialized  music  methods  for 
those  who  plan  to  become  music  teachers.  A 


96 


few  music  courses  are  being  taught  in  night 
school.  These  are  very  popular  and  in  great 
demand. 

The  department  is  headed  by  Mr.  Arnold 
Thomas  and  his  colleague,  Mrs.  Ruth  Dalbo. 
Mr.  Thomas  is  a  specialist  in  music  history, 
literature  and  appreciation,  as  well  as  an 
excellent  director  of  choral  and  instrumental 
groups.  Mrs.  Dalbo,  an  accomplished  pianist, 
specializes  in  music  theory. 

The  music  department  has  expanded  to  the 
extent  that  housing  facilities  are  inadequate. 
Plans  are  being  made  for  a  fine  arts  building 
with  plenty  of  space  for  the  music,  art,  and 
drama  departments.  In  this  building  will  be 
the  class  rooms,  studios  and 
class  rooms.  Equipment  is 
being  added  regularly  to  the 
present  music  building. 
There  is  a  very  complete 
record  library  as  well  as  a 
library  of  music  books. 
Both  are  being  supplemented  by  the  latest 
editions.  In  the  fall,  a  new  reproducing  ma- 
chine was  purchased,  and  in  the  coming  year 
new  pianos  are  to  replace  the  ones  we  have  now. 

Private  instruction  is  offered  in  voice,  piano, 
violin  and  band  instruments.  Throughout  this 
academic  year,  the  music  department  will  have 
given  about  1700  private  half-hour  lessons. 
These  students,  as  well  as  those  in  the  choirs, 
participate  in  chapel  exercises  and  give  recitals 
for  the  campus  as  well  as  the  town's  people. 

Besides  bringing  the  Lake  Forest  music 
department  up  to  a  self-sufficient  working 
organization,  Mr.  Thomas'  aim  is  toward 
getting  the  music  department  on  the  accredited 
list  of  the  National  Association  of  Schools  of 
Music. 

The  organizations  the  music  department 
sponsors  are  many  and  are  whole-heartedly 
supported.  They  are:  Mixed  Chorus,  both 
Men's  Glee  Club  and  Women's  Glee  Club, 
Madrigal  Club,  Girls'  Trio,  Men's  Quartet,  and 
the  Band.  These  groups  are  under  the  leader- 
ship of  Mr.  Thomas  and  carry  on  the  friendly 
co-operative  spirit  of  Lake  Forest  College. 
Their  purpose  is  to  further  interest  in  the 
music  field  and  to  provide  fun  and  enjoyment 
for  both  members  and  their  audiences. 


MIXED   CHORUS 

There  are  fifty-two  members  in  the  A  cap- 
pella  Choir,  better  known  on  campus  as  the 
Mixed  Chorus.  This  group  was  organized  in  the 
early  fall  and  consists  of  those  students  who  are 
interested  in  music,  singing  and  group  partic- 
ipation. The  choir's  first  aim  was  to  give  a 
large  Christmas  concert.  Group  practices  were 
held  in  the  chapel,  and  the  concert  itself  was 
given  in  the  Presbyterian  Church.  The  music 
the  choir  sang  was  such  that  it  gave  the  mem- 
bers opportunity  to  display  the  training  and 
mastery  they  had  aimed  for.  The  concert,  Lake 
Forest's  first,  was  a  huge  success,  and  the  group 
was  lauded  for  their  vocal  abilities  and  ac- 
complishments. Members  of  this  organization 
form  the  chapel  choir  which  participates  in  the 
chapel's  weekly  services.  Also,  soloists  from 
this  group  give  special  performances  at  these 
exercises.  Ten  members  from  the  Chorus  got 
together  to  form  Lake  Forest's  Madrigal  Club. 
This  is  a  very  interesting  group  for  they  get 
together  to  sing  selections  of  the  earliest  type 
of  part  harmony.  Dressed  in  costumes  of  the 
early  seventeenth  century,  the  madrigal  singers 
sit  around  a  table  and  reproduce  the  wierd 
sounds  of  English  chants,  rounds,  and  folk 
songs  of  the  period.  This  type  of  recreational 
music  is  receiving  much  interest  and  is  becom- 
ing very  popular. 

MEN'S  GLEE  CLUB 
The  men's  glee  club  numbers  twenty-four 
members.  Chorus  work  is  offered  as  a  credited 
course  as  well  as  an  extra-curricular  activity. 
Men  with  vocal  talent,  as  well  as  those  who 
just  like  to  sing,  participate  in  this  type  of 
work.  Mr.  Thomas  uses  the  Glee  Club  hour  to 
practice  special  numbers  for  male  voices  as 
well  as  those  selections  which  the  mixed  chorus 
performs.  All  members  of  the  men's  glee  club 
belong  to  the  a  cappella  choir,  so  they  get 
double  practice  in  both  meetings.  Many 
talented  soloists  have  emerged  from  the  glee 
club  and  their  abilities  at  performing  have  been 
exhibited  at  many  of  the  campus  functions. 

MEN'S  QUARTET 
Of  these  soloists  come   four  very  talented 
boys  who  got  interested  in  singing  together. 


97 


Thus  was  originated  the  men's  quartet.  Wally 
Ward  sings  bass,  Don  Koch  carries  the  first 
tenor,  J.  Manning  Potts,  the  second  tenor,  and 
Jack  Brytsparask,  baritone.  The  boys  practice 
in  their  free  time  and  give  out  with  the  regular 
"barber-shop"  harmony.  They  are  also  prone  to 
singing  Negro  spirituals  and  such  light  music 
that  gives  them  the  opportunity  to  let  their 
voices  have  a  spontaneous,  but  accomplished, 
air.  You  can  find  these  four  fellows  entertaining 
on  the  various  programs  that  fill  the  campus 
calendar.  Their  popularity  is  unquestioned  and 
they  are  great  in  demand. 


GIRLS'  GLEE  CLUB 

The  female  of  the  species  has  great  vocal 
talents  too.  Outside  the  music  room  you  can 
hear  soft,  melodious  voices  floating  on  the 
breezes.  The  twenty-eight  girls  that  form  the 
girls  glee  club  enjoy  their  recreational  music, 
and  the  songs  they  sing  in  the  practices  follow 
them  out  to  their  dorms  and  around  the  cam- 
pus. This  work  in  the  glee  club  can  be  used  for 
academic  credit  or  just  for  activity  in  the 
extra-curricular  sense,  the  same  as  work  in  the 
men's  glee  club.  The  type  of  music  that  is 
performed  by  the  women  of  Lake  Forest  Col- 
lege runs  parallel  to  that  of  the  men.  They  get 
down  to  hard  work  on  the  music  that  is  used 
for  the  a  cappella  choir,  but  relax  occasionally 
to  sing  the  popular  and  light  hearted  songs  of 
present  day  music. 


GIRLS'  TRIO 

Out  of  the  girls'  glee  club  come  the  girls' 
trio.  In  the  fall  of  1945  these  three  girls  began 
their  harmonizing  together  and  have  been 
doing  it  since  .  .  .  much  to  the  pleasure  of 
their  fellow  students  and  the  faculty.  Betty 
Hennessey  is  the  soprano  of  the  threesome, 
Sunny  Chase  takes  the  second  soprano,  and 
Lila  Spannenberg  sings  alto.  These  girls  are 
active  members  in  Pi  Alpha  Chi,  the  honorary 
music  fraternity.  Besides  performing  at  campus 
functions  like  chapel.  Parents'  Day,  the  formal 


Pi  Alpha  Chi  concert,  and  other  special  events, 
these  girls  entertain  in  the  town  of  Lake  Forest 
as  well  as  in  other  nearby  communities.  They 
can  always  be  called  on  to  give  an  excellent 
performance  and  their  popularity  and  demand 
cannot  be  doubted. 


BAND 

This  year  is  the  first  year  in  many  that  Lake 
Forest  College  has  had  a  band.  The  band  in 
former  years  was  excellent  but  died  out  during 
the  turmoil  of  war. Last  September,  Mr. Thom- 
as sent  out  a  call  for  those  instrumentalists 
who  wanted  to  form  the  new  Band.  Twenty- 
four  students  responded  and  thus  began  Lake 
Forest's  band.  With  lots  of  talent  and  perser- 
verance  they  practiced  religiously,  using  Har- 
lan Hall  as  the  band  headquarters.  The  first 
time  they  appeared  in  public  was  at  Lake 
Forest's  first  post-war  homecoming  day  foot- 
ball game.  They  were  greeted  on  the  field  with 
great  enthusiasm,  and  the 
spirit  of  L.F.C.  was  cap- 
tured in  their  merry  notes. 
In  this  group  of  band  mem- 
bers are  a  number  of  very 
talented  soloists  who  are 
called  upon  to  appear  at  the  various  assembly 
programs  on  the  campus  and  at  the  social 
functions  of  organizations  in  the  town.  Mr. 
Thomas'  desire  is  to  build  this  group  up  to  a 
sixty-piece  marching  and  concert  band.  In  the 
not  too  distant  future  we  hope  this  will  be 
possible.  We  are  looking  forward  to  those 
football  games  when  our  band  will  perform  in 
marching  style,  and  to  those  concerts  given 
by  our  own  student  group. 

Each  semester  the  music  department  of  our 
college  grows  a  little  more.  Its  ascent  in  the 
scheme  of  a  liberal  arts  college  is  rapid,  and  so 
it  should  be.  Everyone  should  have  the  oppor- 
tunity, and  take  advantage  of  that  opportunity, 
to  know  more  about  the  music  they  hear  and 
sing.  We  are  all  supporting  our  music  depart- 
ment, watching  its  rise  from  almost  nothing- 
ness to  great  heights.

HOMECOMING 


£*^«rti5^v^5?jK**t\ 


LAYING  an  important  part  in 

Pthe  social  activities  of  our  campus 
■  life  have  been  the  six  committees 
■  which  have  organized  and  suc- 
'  ■■'-■■^  cessfully  run  several  large  dances 
and  entire  campus  day  programs.  Due  to  the 
efforts  and  initiative  of  the  various  members 
of  these  committees,  this  year  has  been  even  a 
more  memorable  and  happy  one  for  all  the 
students  of  Lake  Forest  college.  We  take  time 
now  to  give  consideration  to  the  work  of  these 
committees  so  that  their  efforts  will  not  go 
unnoticed  in  the  recording  of  the  1946-1947 
activities. 


November  2 — that  was  the  big  day  at  Lake 
Forest  College  this  year.  For  the  first  time  in 
four  years  we  celebrated  a  normal  Homecoming 
Day — football,  fraternity  and  sorority  floats — 
plus  faculty  reception,  open  house,  bonfire, 
tea  dance,  and  entertainment.  Mr.  Tomlinson 
acted  as  faculty  advisor  to  a  student  committee 
headed  by  Doug  Alleman.  The  committee 
heads  under  him  were  Sunny  Chase  and  Al 
Swanson,  publicity;  Bill  Westine,  dinner; 
Audrey  Ardies,  queen  arrangements;  Betsy 
Schlung,  decorations;  Betty  Laing,  registra- 
tion; Daisy  Morris,  displays;  and  Russ  Tom- 
linson, entertainment.  Representing  the  alums 


99 


were  Jacob  Best,  '33,  Helen  Smith  Elvin  '37, 
and  the  father  of  one  of  our  freshman  gals. 
Big  feature  of  the  day  was  the  crowning  of 
Queen  Jane  Murray,  Alpha  Delta  Pi  and  the 
announcement  of  the  float  winners — the  In- 
dependents for  the  men  and  Alpha  Delta 
Pi  for  the  women. 

DAD'S  DAY 

With  the  return  of  men  on  campus,  Lake 
Forest  College  sponsored  the  first  revival  of  an 
old  school  tradition — the  prewar  celebration 
of  Dad's  Day.  Bud  Quinlan  was  in  charge  of 
the  activities  for  the  entire  day  which  was 
composed  of  registration,  football  game  with 
North  Central,  reception  in  the  library,  and 
entertainment  by  the  Garrick  Club  which 
concluded  a  very  successful  day.  The  people 
who  helped  to  make  Dad's  Day  so  successful 
were  Phil  Mark,  Harry  Kunzer,  Roy  Crandall, 
Ben  Andresky,  Paul  McKenna,  Loisgene 
Day,  Rani  Ulrich,  Mary  Em  Yarnall,  and 
Carol  Sears. 

FORESTER  DANCE 

The  first  dance  of  the  new  semester  and  the 
new  year  was  "Cupid's  Chance"  sponsored  by 
the  Forester.  This  much  publicized  affair  was 
semi-formal  and  the  "Shoreliners",  a  10-piece 
band,  provided  the  music 
which  made  a  dreamy  back- 
ground with  the  white 
streamers  and  red  hearts 
that  decorated  the  Insti- 
tute. The  highlight  of  the 
evening  was  reached  when  Mary  Lou  Collins 
and  Mike  Powers  were  crowned  "Typical 
Girl  and  Boy"  of  Lake  Forest  College.  Under 
the  direction  of  Mary  Em  Yarnall,  dance 
chairman,  was  the  following  committee:  Bar- 
bara MacArthur,  Mildred  Tess,  Lois  Schlee- 
vogt,  Lois  Lenters,  Dorothy  Distelhorst,  Lila 
Spannenberg,  Bob  Behlen,  Harry  Kunzer, 
Dick  Rundquist,  and  Bill  Maloney. 

FRESHMAN  DANCE 

The  freshman  dance  committee  this  year  was 
successfully  headed  by  Wally  Johnson.  Under 
his  direction  a  very  wonderful  dance  was 
planned  for  the  entire  campus  by  the  freshmen. 
Stars  were  hung  gracefully  from  the  ceiling  and 
silhouettes  decorated  the  side  windows.  The 


main  feature  of  this  dance  was  the  crowning  of 
the  freshman  queen  and  Ginny  Gosling  had  the 
honor  of  reigning  as  queen  of  the  dance.  The 
members  of  her  court  were  Gwen  Chadwick, 
Cecil  Boyle,  Harriett  Grosse,  and  Jan  Figge. 
Those  freshmen  class  members  who  worked 
and  cooperated  with  Wally  on  his  committee 
were  Joan  Baumeister,  Arlene  Schwuchow,  Jean 
Jensen,  Barbara  Montgomery,  Jim  Kelly,  Tom 
Thayer,  George  Sweeney,  and  Herb  Peterson. 

COLLEGE  DAY 

The  annual  College  Day  program  for  pros- 
pective Lake  Forest  students  is  this  year  to  be 
planned  and  directed  by  Othello  Ellis  as 
chairman.  Since  the  Forester  went  to  press 
before  this  day  took  place  the  exact  features  of 
the  day  cannot  be  given.  However,  the  usual 
schedule  will  be  followed — registration  and 
campus  tours  in  the  morning,  a  game  and  tea 
in  the  afternoon  and  entertainment  and  a 
dance  at  night.  Those  people  chosen  to  work 
with  "Ace"  on  the  events  for  the  day  are 
Norma  Tess,  Independent  Women;  Sunny 
Chase,  Gamma  Phi  Beta;  O'Ray  Baxter,  Chi 
Omega;  Elaine  Truitt,  Alpha  Xi  Delta;  Daisy 
Morris,  Alpha  Delta  Pi;  Bob  Bibbs,  Phi  Pi 
Epsilon;  Tom  McEwen,  Alpha  Sigma  Kappa; 
Jim  King,  Digamma  Alpha  Upsilon;  and  Dave 
Samples,  Kappa  Sigma. 

CHAPEL  COMMITTEE 

The  members  of  the  chapel  committee  are 
representatives  of  each  sorority,  fraternity, 
independent  men  and  women,  plus  a  student 
council  and  Stentor  staff  members.  They  were 
ably  advised  by  Karl  A.  Roth,  the  first  se- 
mester. During  the  second  semester  Myrvin 
DeLapp  took  over  this  job.  The  chapel  com- 
mittee meets  once  a  week  to  discuss  problems 
and  suggestions  about  religious  activities  on 
campus.  Lake  Forest's  annual  Religious  Em- 
phasis Week,  the  organization  of  special 
vespers,  and  the  selecting  of  the  speakers  and 
hymns  for  each  weekly  chapel  comprise  the 
main  duties  and  responsibilities  of  the  com- 
mittee. Those  who  have  served  on  this  com- 
mittee are  Lois  Schleevogt,  Lois  Lenters,  Joan 
Hamer,  Wally  Johnson,  Ralph  Osborne,  Russ 
Tomlinson,  Carol  Wilson,  Paul  Lundell,  Mona 
Miltenberger,  and  Gale  Huber.

MEN'S  ATHLETICS 


OW  that  the  Lake  Forest  men 
are  back  on  campus,  men's  athletics 
once  more  occupied  their  former 
important  place  in  campus  i.e., 
students  watched  the  first  football 
team  for  three  years  battle  it  out  with  other 
nearby  teams.  All  through  the  year  1946-47 
college  life  seemed  more  complete  and  satisfy- 
ing with  the  football,  basketball,  and  baseball 
conferences  once  more  the  topics  of  discussion 
and  interest  on  the  part  of  the  students  and 
faculty  alike.  We  welcomed  back  many  former 
lettermen  into  our  major  sports  as  well  as 
receiving  many  new  men  who  made  themselves 
felt  in  Lake  Forest  athletics.  Everyone  inte- 
rested in  sports  received  his  chance  for  many 


exciting  intramural   games   were  played   be- 
tween the  fraternity  and  independent  groups. 
We  pause  now  to  look  over  the  record  of 
1946-47  athletics  at  Lake  Forest. 


FOOTBALL 

1946  saw  the  revival  of  varsity  football  at 
Lake  Forest  College  after  a  three-year  lay-off 
period  to  attend  to  some  important  business. 
53  men  responded  to  the  call  of  Coach 
Ralph  Jones,  famed  mentor  of  Lake  Forest 
College  football  squads.  Assistant  coaches 
Ken  McAllister  and  Bob  Peterson  drilled  the 
boys  in  fundamentals  and  in  the  T-formation 
(which  was  developed  by  Coach  Jones).  90% 


139 


of  the  team  were  veterans.  The  end  of  the 
season  saw  Lake  Forest  in  a  three  way  tie  for 
second  place  in  the  newly  organized  College 
Conference  of  Illinois.  North  Central  was  in 
first  place  with  .875,  and  Lake  Forest,  Illinois 
Wesleyan,  and  Wheaton  all  had  .750.  Other 
colleges  in  the  organization  are  Augustana, 
Millikin,  Illinois  College,  Elmhurst,  and  Carth- 
age. 

Jerome  "Mike"  Powers,  drivin'  halfback 
from  Green  Bay,  Wis.,  was  elected  most  valu- 
able player  of  the  1946  season  by  his  team- 
mates. 

LAKE  FOREST  20,  ELMHURST  12 

To  Pete  Schmit,  honorary  captain  of  the 
1946,  went  the  honor  of  scoring  the  first 
touchdown  for  Lake  Forest  College.  This 
touchdown  climaxed  a  down  the  field  march 
of  the  Jaybirds,  featuring  plunging  by  Gutnik 
and  passes  by  Kohler.  In  the  second  quarter 
Kohler  connected  with  three  passes,  and  How- 
land  made  four  first  downs  in  five  plays.  Then 
Powers  smashed  his  way  to  Lake  Forest's 
second  scoring  of  the  game.  In  the  third 
quarter,  an  enlivened  Elmhurst  team  scored 
two  touchdowns,  one  on  a  sleeper  play  by 
Motsurami,  a  20th  century  Mercury.  In  the 
last  four  minutes  of  the  game  Wahler  inter- 
cepted a  pass,  and  a  series  of  running  plays  by 
Howland  and  Wahler  brought  the  pigskin  to 
the  10  yard  line.  Wahler  plunged  thru  for  the 
final  score  of  the  game. 

LAKE  FOREST  10,  NORTH  CENTRAL  7 

North  Central  (who  eventually  became 
champions  of  the  CCI)  found  itself  on  the 
short  end  of  a  10-7  score  at  the  Dad's  Day 
game  at  Lake  Forest  College.  The  game  was 
made  interesting  by  a  touchdown  by  North 
Central  in  the  very  first  minute  of  play.  Then 
the  Jaybirds  took  control  of  the  ball.  Plunges 
by  Gutnik  and  Powers,  passes  by  Kohler,  and 
some  running  by  McAllister  put  the  Foresters 
in  scoring  position  twice  without  quite  making 
a  score.  The  Powers  plunged  thru  for  a  touch- 
down in  the  second  quarter,  with  Wahler  mak- 
ing the  extra  point  to  tie  the  game  up  at  7-7. 
Then  in  the  third  quarter,  Wayne  Wahler,  the 


red-head  from  La  Valle,  Wisconsin,  with  the 
talented  toe,  made  a  field  goal  with  a  beautiful 
drop-kick  from  the  30-yard  line.  The  final 
score  was  10-7,  with  the  Foresters  in  first  place 
in  the  conference. 

LAKE  FOREST  0,  WHEATON  31 

The  first  game  away  from  Farwell  Field 
found  the  Foresters  routed  by  Wheaton  by  a 
score  of  31-0.  The  outclassed  Lake  Forest  team 
made  one  first  down  in  the  game.  The  Jaybirds 
did  have  a  lot  of  spirit  though,  and  held  the 
Crusader's  to  a  6-0  lead  at  the  end  of  the  first 
half.  The  Gold  Coasters  had  lots  of  tough  luck, 
especially  thru  fumbles  and  intercepted  passes. 
Two  touchdowns  in  the  third  and  fourth 
quarters  put  Wheaton  ahead  31-0. 

LAKE  FOREST  0,  CARROLL  34 

A  crowd  of  2500  attended  the  first  Home- 
coming since  1942.  The  34-0  defeat  by  the 
Pioneers  of  Carroll  College  didn't  dampen  the 
festivities  though.  Al  Hanke,  Carroll  half-back, 
scored  three  touchdowns,  the  first  one  being  a 
50  yard  dash  to  score  in  the  first  play  of  the 
game. 

LAKE  FOREST  0,  WABASH  20 

The  Jaybirds  suffered  its  third  straight  defeat 
in  this  non-conference  game.  Illness  kept  Ray 
Genovese  and  Bob  Stilling  out  of  the  game. 
A  switch  in  the  line-up  found  McAllister  in  the 
quarterback  position,  and  Wahler  at  left  half. 
The  Jaybirds  drove  to  Wabash's  4  yard  line  in 
the  second  quarter  but  lost  the  ball  in  a 
fumble. 

LAKE  FOREST  20,  MILLIKIN  0 

The  Gold  Coasters'  season  was  climaxed  by 
the  20-0  defeat  of  Millikin.  The  Jaybirds 
played  really  heads-up  ball  in  this  game, 
capitalizing  on  all  mistakes  of  their  opponents. 
The  sea  of  mud  didn't  stop  the  terrific  aerial 
attack  of  the  Lake  Foresters.  The  first  goal 
was  achieved  by  a  pass  from  McAllister  to 
Schmit.  Wahler  made  the  extra  point  to  give 
L.F.  a  7-0  lead.  Showers  complicated  the  last 
half,  with  neither  team  able  to  do  anything  in 


140 


the  third  quarter.  McAllister  scored  the  second 
touchdown  in  a  quarterback  sneak.  Millikin 
took  to  the  air  to  avoid  a  shut-out,  and  Bob 
Marback  intercepted  a  pass.  Bussone  gained 
some  more  territory  and  then  Gutnik  scored 
the  final  touchdown.  A  complicated  play — 
Bussone  received  the  ball  from  center,  lateralled 
to  McAllister,  who  passed  to  Schmit  who  was 
all  clear  in  the  end  zone — gave  Lake  Forest 
its  final  point.  The  final  score  was  20-0  in 
favor  of  the  Foresters. 

LETTERMEN 

Bibbs,  Burgett,  Genovese,  Forrest,  Gutnik, 
Howland,  Kaczmarzinski,  Kohler,  Marbach, 
McAllister,  McCabe,  Meyer,  Powers,  Schmit, 
Swanson,  Wahler,  and  Greenhow  (Manager) 
received  major  varsity  letter  awards  for 
football  in  1946. 

BASKETBALL 

1946-7  was  a  "building"  year  for  Lake 
Lake  Forest's  basketball  team.  Coach  Ken 
McAllister,  who  was  ably  assisted  by  Bob 
Peterson  in  coaching  the  Jaybirds,  awarded 
varsity  monograms  to  six  freshmen.  Forwards 
Merton  Anderson  and  Earle  Hodgen,  centers 
Gene  Ernsting  and  Wally  Ward,  and  guards 
Harlan  Howard  and  Len  DeMichele  received 
awards.  John  Kirkland  received  a  monogram 
as  manager  of  the  team.  None  of  these  boys, 
whose  average  age  is  20,  had  ever  played 
collegiate  basketball  previously.  As  Paul 
LaVinn,  head  basketball  coach  at  Carthage 
College,  says,  "If  they  play  three  more  years 
together,  the  CCI'll  never  touch  them." 

The  end  of  the  season  found  Millikin  Uni- 
versity at  the  head  of  the  CCI  with  a  .900 
standing.  Lake  Forest  College  was  in  the  cellar 
spot  with  .100. 

Harlan  "Hi"  Howard  was  awarded  the  Bill 
Emery  Free  Throw  Trophy,  which  is  given  to 
the  member  of  the  Jaybird  team  who  has  the 
highest  average  for  free  throws  in  varsity 
competition.  "Hi"  sunk  23  in  33  attempts — an 
average  of  .696. 

Because  no  freshman  can  be  elected  captain 
of  the  basketball  team  according  to  the  athletic 
constitution,  no  captain  was  elected  this  year. 


Lake  Forest  lost  four  pre-Conference  games: 
Beloit  92-54;  Illinois  Tech  67-53;  Elmhurst 
59-51 ;  and  Illinois  Tech  (return  game)  72-61 . 

NORTH  CENTRAL  51,  LAKE  FOREST  37 

Our  first  conference  game  found  Lake  Forest 
shaded  by  a  smooth  working  North  Central 
team.  Their  6'8"  center  was  the  sparkplug  of 
the  team.  Our  Ward  was  high  scorer  of  the 
game  with  15  points  to  his  credit. 

WHEATON  61,  LAKE  FOREST  47 

The  superior  Wheaton  Crusaders  defeated 
the  Jaybirds  61-47.  The  second  half  of  the  game 
Lake  Forest  outscored  their  opponents  28-21, 
but  couldn't  overtake  the  big  lead  of  the  first 
half.  DeMichele,  Lake  Forest  guard,  was  high 
scorer  for  his  team  with  13  points. 

NORTH  CENTRAL  64,  LAKE  FOREST  35 

A  strong  North  Central  quintet  defeated 
Lake  Forest  64-35  in  our  third  conference 
game.  Lake  Forest's  high  scorers  were  Di- 
Michele  and  Ward  with  8  and  7  tallies  respec- 
tively. 

CARROLL  62,  LAKE  FOREST  51 

This  was  a  rough  and  tough  game — the 
teams  were  almost  evenly  matched.  Lake 
Forest  was  trying  for  its  first  win,  and  Carroll 
was  seeking  its  second.  47  fouls  were  called 
during  the  game.  The  18-18  score  in  the  first 
period,  increased  to  30-27  at  the  half,  and  then 
Carroll  increased  its  lead  steadily.  Anderson 
with  17  tallies  was  high  scorer  for  the  Jaybirds. 
This  was  a  non-conference  game. 

ILLINOIS  COLLEGE  69,  LAKE  FOREST  51 

Lake  Forest  College  scored  its  first  and  only 
victory  of  the  season  when  it  defeated  Illinois 
College  69-51.  Mert  Anderson  was  high  scoring 
man  of  the  evening  with  21  points  to  his  credit. 
The  Jaybirds  were  never  seriously  checked — 
at  the  56-26  point.  Coach  McAllister  sent  in  an 
entire  team  of  replacements. 

MILLIKIN  59,  LAKE  FOREST  38 
Lake  Forest  found  itself  on  the  short  end  of 
a  59-38  score.  The  Jaybirds  couldn't  overcome 
the  25-7  half-time  lead  despite  the  scoring 
efforts  of  John  Katzler,  mid-year  student 
playing  his  first  game  for  Lake  Forest.  Katzler 


141 


with  13  points  was  higli  scoring  man  of  both 
teams.  Other  new  men,  from  mid-year  entrants, 
including  Olsen,  Nicicoley,0'Meara,  and  Wetts, 
all  exhibited  great  promise  for  future  games. 

CARTHAGE  56,  LAKE  FOREST  48 

This  was  a  well  fought  game  all  the  way. 
Lake  Forest  was  leading  35-33  in  the  last  half, 
and  then  the  Carthage  boys  gradually  pulled 
ahead.  Katzler  made  19  points  and  took  scoring 
honors  for  the  evening. 

ILLINOIS  WESLEYAN  56 

LAKE  FOREST  48 

After  the  Jaybirds  had  piled  up  a  6-2  lead, 
the  Illinois  Wesleyan  team  forged  out  in  front 
and  stayed  there  the  rest  of  the  game.  Howard 
was  out  because  of  a  hand  injury,  and  Ernsting 
got  five  fouls  early  in  the  game,  so  Lake 
Forest  lacked  height  on  defense.  Katzler  again 
paced  the  Foresters  with  sixteen  points. 

WHEATON  46,  LAKE  FOREST  31 

Lake  Forest  bowed  to  a  taller  Wheaton 
College  quintet  46-31.  Anderson  tallied  up  9 
points  to  become  top  scorer  for  the  Jaybirds. 
Katzler  was  out  because  of  injuries  sustained 
in  the  Wesleyan  game. 

CARROLL  64,  LAKE  FOREST  47 

In  a  return  non-conference  game  with  Carroll 
College,  the  Foresters  found  themselves  on  the 
short  end  of  a  64-47  score.  Hodgens'  15  points 
topped  the  individual  scores  of  the  local  cagers. 

ELMHURST  44,  LAKE  FOREST  42 

A  closely  fought  battle  for  cellar  position  of 
the  CCI  found  the  Gold  Coasters  shaded  44-42 
by  Elmhurst.  The  score  see-sawed  back  and 
forth,  with  the  Foresters  leading  22-21  at  half 
time.  In  the  second  half  Elmhurst  got  up  steam 
and  outscored  our  boys.  DeMichele  and  Hod- 
gen  picked  up  11  and  10  tallies  respectively  for 
the  Jaybirds. 


AUGUSTANA  58,  LAKE  FOREST  32 

The  final  game  of  the  year  for  Lake  Forest 
College  was  with  Augustana,  whose  team 
averaged  6'3  in  height.  Despite  spectacular 
rebounding  and  11  tallied  by  Anderson,  the 
Foresters  found  themselves  on  the  wrong  end  of 
a  58-32  score. 


BASEBALL 

1947  promises  to  be  a  banner  year  for  Lake 
Forest  College  in  the  realm  of  baseball.  60  men 
came  out  for  baseball  at  the  beginning  of  the 
season,  including  12  returning  lettermen. 


TENNIS  AND  GOLF 

Head  tennis  coach  is  Dr.  Bruce  Lineburg, 
who  is  also  President  of  the  College  Conference 
of  Illinois.  He  will  be  assisted  by  Dr.  Arthur 
Voss,  who  was  Kansas  State  tennis  champ 
while  attending  Kansas  University.  Golf  will 
be  coached  by  Dr.  E.  O.  North.  Men  will  have 
an  opportunity  to  earn  a  major  varsity  letter 
for  these  sports  this  year. 


INTRAMURALS 

Lake  Forest  College  had  a  strong  intramural 
program  this  year,  with  a  large  number  of 
men  participating.  The  Intramural  Board  did  a 
fine  job  of  organization  and  supervision  of  the 
various  events. 

In  Football,  the  Phipes  took  first  honors, 
with  the  Digams,  Kappa  Sigs,  IMC's,  and 
Alpha  Sigs  following  in  that  order.  First  and 
second  teams  were  listed  as  follows:

WOMEN 


ROM  the  first  days  of  school  in  the 
fall  until  school  is  out  in  the  spring, 
one  can  see  signs  of  bustling  activity 
amongst  L.F.'s  coeds.  With 
racquet  in  hand  they  fill  all  the 
courts  of  the  newly  improved  green  cement 
courts,  which  have  replaced  the  old  clay  courts 
or  they  can  be  seen  wielding  a  golf  club  on  the 
"green"  of  L.F.'s  own  six-hole  golf  course,  or 
they  can  be  found  shooting  for  baskets,  or 
spiking  a  ball  across  a  net. 

The  coeds  of  our  present  classes,  who  today 
are  dressed  in  their  trim  white  shirts  and  shorts 
are  a  great  contrast  to  the  coeds  of  a  generation 
ago,  who  wore  white  middy  shirts,  black  ties, 
bloomers,  and  stockings;  yet  the  athletes  of 
both  these  eras  engage  in  similar  activity. 

Although  Miss  Calmer  early  this  year  broke 
her  arm  and  was  handicapped  considerably, 
she  was  assisted  in  her  work  by  Emalou  Bishop 
and  activities  went  on  as  usual. 

The  various  sports  taught  in  class  are  given 
seasonally  at  the  same  time  as  the  various 
sports  are  played  in  W.A.A.  intramurals.  In 
this  way  some  of  the  gym  classes  count  towards 
the  "hard-to-get"  practices  necessary  for 
participating  in  a  W.A.A.  sport. 

Lake  Forest  athletics  include  also,  not  only 
the  various  "stars"  of  the  team,  but  also  those 
who  do  not  care  to  play.  These  girls  may  par- 
ticipate by  helping  in  scoring,  refereeing  and 
timekeeping.  Altogether  our  round  of  activities 
this  year  has  included  almost  every  girl  al- 
though some  were  only  part  of  an  able  cheering 
section. 

"Do  you  have  your  practices  in" — the  cur- 
rent by-word  of  all  Lake  Forest  coeds  who  are 
desperately  trying  to  sandwich  in  such  intra- 
mural activity  as  hockey,  volleyball,  basket- 
ball, and  baseball  into  their  already  full 
schedule  of  activity. 

The  Women's  Athletic  Association  is  virtu- 
ally a  beehive  of  activity  with  such  a  variety  of 
sports  to  keep  L.F.'s  coeds  busy.  O'Ray 
Baxter,  president  of  the  Women's  Athletic 
Association;  Gary  Flood,  vice-president;  Sunny 
Chase,  secretary;  and  Gloria  Dran,  treasurer; 
compose  the  executive  board  along  with  the 
heads  of  the  various  sports.  The  board  plans 


activities  and  handles  the  official  business  of 
W.A.A.  The  heads  of  the  various  intramural 
activities  are  Bee  Morris,  hockey;  Elaine 
Truitt,  volleyball;  Emalou  Bishop,  basketball; 
Carol  Wilson,  baseball;  and  Lois  Schleevogt, 
and  Lucille  Bischoff,  individual  sports,  which 
include  ping  pong,  bowling,  badminton,  tennis, 
and  golf. 

W.A.A.  was  organized  at  Lake  Forest  in 
1920,  and  its  purpose  was  to  provide  organized 
seasonal  sports  activity  and  training  in  de- 
veloping sportsmanship. 

Each  year  W.A.A.  sponsors  a  number  of 
activities,  many  of  them  traditional  such  as 
the  annual  banquet  given  with  W.S.G.A.  in 
May.  This  banquet  was  first  given  in  1930  and 
has  been  a  tradition  ever  since.  At  this  banquet 
new  officers  of  the  two  organizations  for  the 
next  year  are  announced  and  W.A.A.  awards 
given.  A  cup  is  given  to  the  best  all-around 
junior  athlete  and  individual  cups  are  given  to 
the  two  senior  girls  having  the  greatest  number 
of  W.A.A.  points. 

The  second  annual  "All-School  Talent  Show" 
held  in  December  was  one  of  the  activities 
sponsored  by  W.A.A.  Margaret  Flood  and 
Emalou  Bishop  were  the  chairmen,  while  the 
show  was  conducted  by  the  memorable  trio  of 
comedians — Tom  Linnell,  Doug  Alleman,  and 
Bill  Westine — who  kept  the  audience  enter- 
tained. Some  of  the  acts  were  a  duet  sung  by 
Frannie  Proctor  and  Betty  McCarthy,  a 
"make  believe"  little  boy-girl  act,  featuring 
Carol  Wilson,  Barbara  Coss,  Mary  Smith,  Sue 
Kastler,  and  Carolyn  Scandroli.  The  Kappa 
Sigs  and  Gamma  Phis  also  put  on  some 
original  skits. 

Each  year  W.A.A.  holds  two  initiation 
ceremonies  for  new  members.  One  is  held  soon 
after  the  first  semester,  and  the  other  is  in  the 
form  of  a  breakfast  held  at  the  beach. 

Hockey,  headed  by  Bee  Morris,  was  the  first 
intramural  activity  of  the  year.  After  complet- 
ing the  required  five  practices,  four  teams  were 
organized.  While  most  sports  are  organized  by 
sororities,  because  of  the  nature  of  hockey,  the 
teams  were  picked  at  random  from  the  girls 
turning  out.  Generally,  the  weather  was  very 
nice  and  the  tournament  was  finally  completed, 

143 


being  won  by  Carol  Wilson's  team,  although 
the  last  few  games  were  played  in  semi- 
darkness  and  a  slightly  frigid  atmosphere. 
Most  of  the  teams  seemed  to  have  a  variety  of 
luck,  but  Carol  Wilson's  team  took  the  tourna- 
ment by  winning  all  its  games.  Members  of 
team  IV  are  Barbara  Mitchell,  Phyllis  Gallup, 
Dorothy  Truman,  Barbara  Hahn,  Barbara 
Keine,  Sara  Jane  Irwin,  Catole  Reinier,  and 
Louise  Sanborn. 

An  all-star  team  was  organized  and  these 
girls  played  several  games  against  Ferry  Hall. 
The  teams  were  fast  and  furious,  but  L.F.'s 
team  was  beaten.  Following  the  games,  the 
Ferry  Hall  girls  invited  the  team  for  a  snack  or 
"Coke"  and  doughnuts,  which  provided  con- 
solation for  the  defeat.  The  following  girls 
were  on  the  team:  Jean  Pearce,  Carol  Wilson, 
Dorcas  Brausch,  Louise  Sandborn,  Ruth 
Wilder,  Arlene  Goodhart,  Marguerite  Tyler, 
Dorothy  Truman,  Virginia  Gosling,  Marion 
Kirkwood,  Sara  Jane  Irwin,  Barbara  Kriech, 
Jean  Jensen,  Barbara  Keine,  Barbara  Hahn, 
and  Bee  Morris. 

Volleyball,  the  second  major  sport,  headed 
by  Elaine  Truitt,  started  right  after  our  return 
from  Christmas  vacation.  This  sport  is  organ- 
ized according  to  sorority  and  independent 
groups  and  consequently  many  of  the  games 
were  steeped  with  traditional  rivalry  and  were 
very  exciting. 

Several  of  the  games  ended  by  only  a  differ- 
ence of  a  few  points,  and  the  first  round  ended 
with  a  three-way  tie  between  the  Alpha  Xi 
Delta,  Gamma  Phi  Beta,  and  Chi  Omega 
sororities,  each  having  won  three  and  lost  one 
game.  This  complication  necessitated  con- 
tinuation of  the  first  round,  so  that  each  team 
would  be  matched  twice  against  the  same 
team.  When  all  games  had  been  played,  the 
Chi  Omegas  emerged  victorious  after  a  hard 
struggle  and  claimed  the  cup  for  another  year. 

An  interesting  sidelight  of  the  volleyball 
season  were  two  games  with  the  fellows.  In  one 
game  Gamma  Phi  Betas  played  the  Phipes,  and 
in  the  second  game  an  "all-star"  girls  team 
played  an  "all-star"  boys  team.  The  girls  lost 
both  games,  but  not  without  putting  up  a  good 
hard  fight. 

Basketball    practices    started    in    February 


right  after  we  had  recovered  from  first  semester 
finals.  This  sport,  headed  by  Emalou  Bishop,  is 
also  made  up  of  sorority  teams.  The  games  were 
fast  and  furious,  many  of  them  ending  by  only 
a  difference  of  a  few  points,  but  Miss  Calmer, 
with  her  able  umpires,  was  able  to  keep  the 
teams  on  the  floor. 

The  Gamma  Phi's  came  out  on  top  after  the 
first  round  since  they  won  all  their  games.  The 
second  round  presented  a  slightly  different 
picture  when  the  independent  women  staged  a 
winning  comeback  and  gave  the  Gamma  Phis  a 
good  fight.  The  top  game  of  the  season  was  the 
Gamma  Phi-Chi  Omega  game  which  ended 
with  an  8-8  split  after  a  hard  struggle  on  the 
part  of  both  teams.  The  Gamma  Phis  won  the 
tournament  having  lost  only  one  game. 

The  last  major  sport  of  the  year — baseball — 
and  spring  seemed  to  arrive  at  the  same  time. 
April  found  the  girls  out  for  practices  in  front 
of  the  various  dorms  racing  to  get  the  ball  be- 
fore Angus — the  toy  terrier — could.  Since  the 
season  just  started  as  the  Forester  went  to  press, 
here's  hoping  that  it  will  be  completed  without 
most  of  the  games  being  rained  out  as  has 
happened  in  years  past. 

A  large  group  of  girls  supported  the  indi- 
vidual sports  section,  headed  by  Lois  Schlee- 
vogt.  A  ping  pong  tournament  was  played  off 
in  December.  Florence  Baruffi  and  Selma 
Blumenkrantz  came  out  victorious  over  a  host 
of  table  tennis  enthusiasts,  and  the  tournament 
was  finally  won  by  Selma. 

Four  bowling  teams  were  organized  and  each 
Friday  at  four-thirty,  the  girls  would  assemble 
for  a  session  with  the  "ten-pins".  Betsy 
Schlung,  Joan  Hitchcock,  and  Micky  Cardy 
were  individual  high  scorers. 

A  badminton  tournament  was  also  played 
off  in  April  along  with  tennis  tournaments 
which  completed  W.A.A.'s  1946-1947  busy 
season  of  activity.  The  season  was  a  very  busy 
one,  too.  We  all  had  lots  of  fun — even  those 
who  only  sat  on  the  sidelines  and  cheered  on 
their  respective  teams.  We  look  back  over  our 
year  of  athletic  activities  and  say  thanks  for  all 
the  fun  and  excitement — the  rivalry  and  the 
thrill  of  winning — thanks  for  making  another 
college  year  a  very  happy  and  complete  one!

STUDENT  LIFE 


ROM  the  beginning  of  one  year 
to  its  final  end,  student  life  plays 
an  increasingly  important  part 
on  Lake  Forest  campus.  Here  we 
renew  it  in  its  entirety. 
It  was  September.  The  wind  which  already 
carried  the  feeling  of  winter  in  its  strength 
whipped  the  leaves  into  a  froth.  A  chain  of 
cars  moved  endlessly  into  the  drives,  and  the 
freshmen,  eager  with  expectancy,  stepped  into 
the  mysterious  whirl  of  the  college  daze.  Life 
at  L.F.C.  had  begun  again. 

The  wind  became  stronger,  and  winter 
moved  in  to  cloak  the  campus  in  white  finery, 
but  sometimes  it  almost  seemed  as  though 
spring  had  broken  forth  in  December.  The 
freshmen  weren't  quite  so  eager  by  this  time; 
they  were  becoming  seasoned  to  the  grind,  and 


once  more  Lake  Forest  was  a  stream  of  student 
life  which  swept  forward. 

The  rains  came,  so  did  the  robins,  the  flowers, 
the  green  leaves,  and  the  gorgeous  blue  sky, 
filled  with  fluffy  clouds  by  day  and  brilliant 
stars  at  night.  Spring  fever  descended  con- 
tagiously upon  the  campus.  The  beach  was 
more  enticing  than  ever;  finals  loomed  like 
storm  clouds  ahead;  the  freshmen  strutted  with 
the  pride  of  battle  scarred  veterans.  Once  more 
the  world  began  to  whisper  that  college  was 
drawing  to  a  close  and  that  summer  was  at 
hand. 

This  is  but  the  surface  of  a  year  at  L.F.C; 
scratch  that  surface  and  a  panorama  of  student 
life  is  revealed.  This  life  is  like  a  grab  bag,  filled 
with  parties,  sports,  fraternities,  and  fun; 
yet  seasoned  with  heartaches  and  disappoint- 


163 


ments.  The  bag  is  opened;  the  skeleton  of 
student  life  for  46-47  at  Lake  Forest  appears. 

The  opening  weeks  of  school  saw  the  Greeks 
once  more  dominating  the  L.F.C.  scene  with 
their  rush  parties.  This  year  both  fellows  and 
girls  hoped  to  win  the  "cream  of  freshman 
crop". 

The  sororities  entertained  first  and  came  up 
with  every  type  of  party  from  the  South  Sea 
Islands  to  "Heaven"  sprinkled  with  entertain- 
ment which  ranged  from  fortune  tellers  to 
"Flora  Dora  Babies".  When  rush  week  came 
to  a  close,  there  were  fifty-eight  coeds  wearing 
brand  new  pledge  pins.  The  fraternities  fol- 
lowed suit  with  the  first  pledging  since  male 
life  has  once  more  returned  to  the  campus  in 
force.  As  cheering  coeds  formed  double  lines 
from  College  Hall  to  the  fraternity  houses, 
the  actives  and  their  new  pledges  walked 
through  by  groups  singing  their  well  known 
songs  in  deep,  booming  voices.  College  Hall 
bell  rang  out  with  new  vigor  as  the  117  pledges 
marched  proudly  down  the  path.  This  cere- 
mony was  followed  by  serenades  and  gift 
exchanges  between  sorority  and  fraternity 
groups. 

These  first  weeks  included  a  series  of  ac- 
tivities which  started  the  college  year  well  on 
its  way.  The  Student  Center,  with  Bill  Westine 
as  chairman,  held  the  first  dance  of  the  season. 
Johnnie  Ohlin's  orchestra  provided  the  music, 
and  with  L.F.C. 's  manpower  out  in  force,  the 
rafters  of  the  Institute  fairly  burst. 

The  following  Friday  "Ace"  Ellis  and  his 
crew  buried  Elmhurst  properly  at  the  first 
pep  rally  of  the  season.  The  following  day,  to 
the  joy  of  all  Lake  Foresters,  the  football 
team  buried  them  too! 

The  Pan-Hell  Open  House  and  the  W.A.A. 
Party  followed,  and  by  the  time  that  Dad's 
Day  came  around,  October  19th,  the  school 
was  really  showing  signs  of  "That  Old  Lake 
Forest  Spirit". 

Dad's  Day  saw  the  re-birth  of  an  old 
tradition,  and  with  Bud  Quinlan  in  charge,  the 
day  was  proclaimed  a  success  by  mothers  as 
well  as  dads!  One  of  the  day's  highlights  was 
the  introduction  of  the  fathers  of  the  team 
members  at  the  half  of  the  L.F.C.  North 
Central  game.  The  fact  that  Lake  Forest 
handed  out  defeat  to  North  Central  was 
another  addition  to  the  day.  That  night  Lake 


Forest  talent  made  its  first  appearance  of  the 
year.  The  trio  composed  of  Sunny  Chase, 
Betty  Hennessey,  and  Lila  Spannenberg  re- 
ceived enthusiastic  approval  from  the  Dad's 
Day  audience;  Bob  Weber,  Emalou  Bishop, 
and  Nancy  Wilson  could  take  a  bow,  too,  for 
their  share  in  the  entertainment.  By  the  time 
the  day  ended  the  fathers  had  caught  some  of 
that  Lake  Forest  spirit,  and  pictures  of  their 
own  college  days  were  vivid  in  their  minds. 

Garrick  once  more  sponsored  its  lecture  series 
of  notables.  It  brought  to  Lake  Forest  such 
well  known  figures  as  Paul  Lydgate,  H.  R. 
Knickerbocker,  Dr.  Will  Durant,  and  others. 
Garrick  also  put  on  as  usual  some  of  its  fine 
productions.  The  first,  "Angel  Street",  was 
presented  on  October  30-31.  The  leads  were 
played  by  Dave  Samples  and  Judy  Mitchell, 
and  with  a  fine  supporting  cast  it  was  a  success. 

Lake  Forest  seemed  to  be  getting  in  the 
dance  mood.  The  Chi  O's  and  Kappa  Sigs 
revived  an  old  tradition  by  holding  a  sweet- 
heart dance.  The  A.S.K.'s  had  the  first  pledge 
dance  of  the  season  on  October  26th.  It  set  the 
stage  for  the  series  of  pledge  dances  which  soon 
followed. 

The  joy  of  Lake  Foresters  withered  as  red 
cards  appeared  all  over  the  campus.  It  was  like 
throwing  cold  water  in  the  faces  of  the  frolick- 
ing freshmen  who  found  there  were  other 
things  to  do  besides  spending  their  time  at  the 
coflFee  shop  and  down  at  the  Lake.  However, 
everyone  decided  they  had  to  take  the  "bitter 
with  the  better"  and  resigned  themselves  to 
their  fate  and  their  books! 

Red  cards  were  forgotten,  studies  were 
forgotten,  dates  were  forgotten  (?),  as  every 
Lake  Forester  turned  his  thoughts  to  Home- 
coming. This  favorite  of  favorite  traditions 
spelled  only  one  thing  to  the  enterprising 
Greeks  and  Independents — floats!  The  A.D. 
Pi's  were  already  combing  the  campus  for  tin 
foil;  the  Phipes  talked  in  bigger  terms  discuss- 
ing the  probability  of  procuring  a  pink  elephant 
for  the  occasion.  The  Chi  O's  surrounded  by 
mountains  of  crepe  paper  decided  that  rosette 
making  should  be  included  in  every  pledge 
lesson!  The  Independent  groups  banned  to- 
gether and  were  noticeably  quiet  about  the 
whole  affair.  In  preparation  for  the  Home- 
coming Dance,  five  Lake  Forest  princesses 
were  nominated;  one  of  whom  was  destined  to 


164 


become  queen.  The  candidates  were  Betty 
Laing,  Barb  Prindle,  Anne  Shumaker,  Jane 
Murray,  and  Marilyn  Arentz.  Judging  was 
done  by  the  masculine  members  of  the  campus. 
During  the  week  leading  up  to  Homecoming 
blaring  signs  were  seen  all  over  L.F.C.  as  well 
as  every  type  of  ballyhoo  possible  to  attract 
attention  to  candidates,  but  the  whole  campus 
seemed  to  enjoy  the  affair.  The  Friday  before 
Homecoming  "Ace"  Ellis  and  his  gang  held  a 
sensational  pep  rally  around  the  freshman 
bonfire.  There  was  much  singing  and  cheering, 
and  the  rally  was  concluded  with  a  snake  dance 
which  caught  most  of  the  campus  in  its  wake. 
Saturday  morning  Jane  Murray  was  pro- 
claimed Homecoming  Queen.  This  news  was 
greeted  by  cheers  the  campus  over,  but  even 
the  A.D.  Pi's  couldn't  celebrate  too  long  as  the 
floats  had  to  be  finished  by  noon.  The  vision  of 
the  gorgeous  float  cups  enticed  the  Lake 
Foresters  and  spurred  them  to  action. 

The  day  was  one  the  campus  will  long  re- 
member. The  floats  as  they  made  their  way 
down  to  the  square  were  greeted  by  throngs  on 
the  curbs  or  were  followed  by  students  packed 
six  deep  in  cars.  The  floats  looked  like  a  crepe 
paper  fantasy  and  were  enthusiastically  re- 
ceived, particularly  by  the  students  sporting 
blistered  hands  and  weary  looks — the  ones  who 
had  built  them!  With  Carroll  "Cooked", 
"Carved",  "Crowned",  and  "Frozen",  the 
Lake  Foresters  were  ready  to  trample  their 
opponents;  Carroll  unfortunately  was  def- 
initely not  in  the  mood! 

The  dampened  spirits  of  the  L.F.C.'s  foot- 
ball supporters  revived  after  the  defeat  in  time 
for  a  bang  up  Homecoming  dinner,  entertain- 
ment, and  dance.  At  the  dance  everyone  waited 
breathlessly  the  announcement  of  the  float 
winners  and  the  crowning  of  the  new  queen. 
Finally  the  moment  came  and  Queen  Murray 
and  her  court  ascended  to  the  throne. 
Then  it  was  announced!  The  Independents 
had  taken  top  honors  for  the  men  and  the 
A.D.  Pi's  had  made  it  a  double  header  by 
winning  the  coveted  float  trophy.  Rivalry 
melted  away  when  Jane,  probably  at  that 
moment  the  happiest  girl  in  the  world,  received 
the  cup  for  her  sorority.  The  dance  broke  up  as 
various  groups  retired  to  do  their  own  celebrat- 


ing. A  topic  which  had  caused  much  discussion 
in  every  group  on  campus,  the  '46  Homecom- 
ing came  to  a  successful  close. 

November  7th  Lake  Forest  entertained 
Richard  Widmark,  one  of  her  famous  alums, 
at  a  tea  in  Lois  Hall  Lounge  with  Garrick 
members  doing  the  honors.  Mr.  Widmark,  at 
the  time  playing  the  lead  in  the  production 
"Dream  Girl",  is  well-known  for  his  stage  and 
radio  work. 

Saturday  the  scholars  once  more  emerged 
from  their  cells  for  the  Student  Center  Barn 
Dance.  The  guys  and  gals  put  on  their  most 
ragged  clothes  and  had  a  wonderful  time  for 
themselves  doing  square  dances  and  Virginia 
reels. 

November  15th  was  the  date  for  the  beginn- 
ing of  the  pledge  dance  series  which  kept  the 
campus  buzzing  for  weeks  before  and  after  the 
big  events.  On  Friday  the  Kappa  Sigs  started 
off  with  their  dinner  dance  which  was  held  at 
the  Deerpath  and  later  at  the  Kappa  Sig  house. 
Saturday  both  the  Gamma  Phi's  and  Alpha 
Xi's  did  their  entertaining  at  the  Edgewater, 
The  following  Saturday  found  the  Chi  O's  and 
A.D. Pi's  celebrating  at  the  same  time  and  same 
place  with  an  equal  amount  of  excitement  and 
fun.  Everyone  had  a  gay  time  at  all  aff^airs,  and 
the  pledges  were  properly  introduced  into  the 
college  whirl!! 

On  campus  things  were  happening,  too.  The 
Junior  Class  became  organized  with  Roy 
Crandall  at  its  head.  The  Independents  were 
also  becoming  strongly  organized  with  a  fine 
program  slated  for  the  future.  The  Greeks 
welcomed  their  rivals  and  were  glad  to  see  the 
Independents  becoming  strong  and  gaining 
deserved  recognition. 

The  annual  Thanksgiving  Evensong  spon- 
sored by  S.C.A.  was  held  November  26th.  The 
candlelight,  organ  music,  and  the  peace  which 
seemed  to  prevail  were  a  welcome  change  from 
the  hustle  and  bustle  of  college  life.  Jean  Hale 
headed  the  program  with  Carol  Wilson  reading 
the  scriptures  and  Ken  Warren  presented  the 
meditation. 

On  Wednesday,  November  27th,  Lake 
Foresters  with  much  enthusiasm  packed  their 
grips  and  headed  home  for  Thanksgiving  vaca- 
tion. The  few  days  of  loafing  and  eating  ended; 
red  cards  once  more  were  passed  out,  and  to  the 


165 


returning  vacationers  L.F.C.  settled  down  to 
the  seemingly  long  weeks  before  Christmas. 

The  W.A.A.  Talent  Show  took  place  on 
December  7th.  This  year's  crowd  tripled 
previous  records.  Everyone  enjoyed  the  "Star 
Studded"  revue  with  L.F.C. 's  three  M.C.'s  in 
charge:  Westine,  Alleman,  and  Linnel.  Other 
features  were  Bob  Weber,  Red  Maloney,  Al- 
dona  Krask;  racoon  coats  sported  by  Emalou 
Bishop,  Bill  Westine,  Tom  Linnel,  and  Terry 
Elmore,  and  many  others  who  displayed  with 
vigor  their  college  spirit.  Congratulations  go  to 
Gary  Flood  and  Emalou  Bishop  who  were 
chairmen  of  this  show. 

Saturday  Jo  Paskins  was  announced  the 
lucky  winner  of  the  "Dream  Date"  which  was 
sponsored  by  the  Independents.  With  Paul 
Yorkston  as  her  escort,  she  had  a  night  to 
remember  starting  with  flaming  sword  dinners 
at  the  Pump  Room  and  ending  with  cham- 
pagne at  the  Villa,  plus  tickets  to  the  prize 
winning  play  "State  of  the  Union"  and  a 
Packard  chaufFered  car!  The  "green-eyed" 
losers  hoped  for  another  chance  next  year. 

The  Saturday  before  Christmas  vacation, 
December  14,  the  Foresters  held  their  White 
Christmas  Formal  at  the  Moraine  Hotel.  The 
fellows  took  their  tuxes  and  tails  from  moth 
balls,  and  all  the  girls  thought  their  dates 
looked  mighty  handsome.  Surprise  of  the 
evening  was  the  announcement  of  Lou  Collins' 
engagement  to  Gale  Huber.  After  the  dance 
the  parties  did  their  merry  making  at  nearly 
every  place  along  Skokie. 

The  Christmas  spirit  by  this  time  had  com- 
pletely taken  over  Lake  Forest.  The  books  got 
slightly  dusty  as  the  fellows  dreamed  of  the 
big  times  ahead,  and  the  gals,  being  more 
practical,  worked  like  beavers  to  finish  argyle 
socks  and  sweaters  they  were  knitting  for 
Christmas    presents. 

The  annual  Christmas  program  was  pre- 
sented by  the  choir  the  Thursday  before 
vacation.  With  the  new  chorus  which  was 
organized  by  Mr.  Thomas  performing,  the 
students  and  faculty  as  well  as  visiting  fathers 
and  mothers  proclaimed  it  as  a  highly  pro- 
fessional job. 

The  long  dreamed  of  vacation  started  on 
Saturday,  December  21,  and  once  more  Lake 


Forest  lay  silent  as  her  students  spread  them- 
selves to  many  parts  of  the  United  States  and 
Canada  to  celebrate  Christmas. 

On  the  night  of  January  5th,  the  dorms,  once 
more  warm,  bright  and  cheerful,  became  alive 
as  in  poured  streams  of  returning  students 
filled  with  enthusiasm  which  only  two  weeks  of 
mother's  home  cooking  can  inspire!  Everyone 
was  anxious  to  tell  all  the  exciting  happenings, 
and  more  than  one  girl  looked  slightly  wistful 
thinking  of  the  boy  she  left  behind.  Gradually 
the  students  realized  Christmas  was  over,  and 
the  grind  was  to  begin  again.  They  went  back 
to  work  reluctantly  with  their  heads  still  in  the 
clouds. 

It  was  a  new  year — 1947.  The  old  routine  and 
tradition  began  again,  and  Lake  Forest  started 
its  ninetieth  college  year. 

The  freshman  production  "Junior  Miss" 
opened  the  January  activities  officially.  The 
second  Garrick  play  was  completely  different 
from  its  hair-raising  predecessor  "Angel 
Street,"  as  it  turned  out  to  be  one  of  the  out- 
standing comedies  ever  produced  at  Lake 
Forest.  Nancy  Wilson  turned  in  a  professional 
job  in  the  leading  role  along  with  Sally  Kint, 
her  rowdy  gum-chewing  companion.  Jean 
Jensen  with  her  heavy  Swedish  accent  por- 
trayed a  typical  comic  maid,  and  Keith 
Rasmussen,  Ginny  Gosling,  Phyllis  Gallup, 
and  others  in  the  cast  provided  two  hours  of 
enjoyable  entertainment.  The  production  staff, 
also  under  direction  of  underclassmen,  made 
the  older  campus  members  sit  up  and  take 
notice  of  one  of  the  finest  Garrick  offerings. 

Social  activities  nearly  came  to  a  complete 
stop  as  the  students  dusted  off  their  books  and 
got  ready  for  finals.  The  last  week  in  January 
was  set  aside  as  the  zero  hour,  and  worried 
freshmen  and  upperclassmen  alike  began  to 
wonder  where  all  those  days  and  weeks  since 
September  had  gone.  The  Coffee  Shop  crowd 
thinned  out  and  the  remainder  was  mainly 
composed  of  those  who  either  didn't  need  to 
study  or  for  whom  it  was  too  late  to  begin;  the 
rest  of  the  campus  at  least  went  through  the 
motions.  The  Freshmen  finished  their  exams 
the  middle  of  the  week;  by  Saturday  the  last 
blue  books  were  turned  in,  and  the  few  days  of 


166 


semester  vacation  began,  so  that  students  could 
rest  their  fatigued  brains. 

Tuesday  was  the  beginning  of  the  second 
semester,  and  the  Lake  Foresters  armed  with 
resolutions  and  books  began  classes  again. 
There  were  95  new  students  added  to  the  en- 
rollment, including  quite  a  few  returning 
veterans. 

Saturday,  February  8th,  was  the  date  set  for 
the  big  Forester  Dance.  The  students  had  been 
in  a  whirl  about  it  several  weeks  before,  since  it 
would  disclose  the  winner  of  the  Typical  Boy 
and  Girl  Contest.  The  campus  had  been 
covered  as  usual  by  banners  and  posters,  but 
this  time,  sororities  and  fraternities  turned  out 
some  secret  weapons  which  made  for  a  sensa- 
tional, close,  and  exciting  campaign.  Good 
looking  candid  pictures  of  both  Bill  Westine, 
the  Phi  Pi  candidate,  and  Gordy  Perkins,  the 
Kappa  Sig  candidate,  covered  the  bulletin 
boards,  but  Mike  Powers  and  the  Digams 
serenaded  the  girls'  dorms  and  won  much 
enthusiastic  support.  The  sororities  announced 
their  candidates  with  eye-catching  banners 
and  signs  of  electric  lights.  The  A. D. Pi's  were 
seen  all  over  campus  wearing  pictures  of  their 
candidate,  Judy  Harvey.  The  Chi  O's  resorted 
to  air  taking  and  had  a  plane  drop  leaflets  for 
Tudie  Kastler.  Voting  was  done  the  Monday 
of  finals,  and  the  secret  was  well  guarded  until 
the  "Cupid's  Chance"  party  of  the  8th;  then 
beneath  soft  lights  and  to  the  strain  of  sweet 
music,  Lou  Collins,  Gamma  Phi,  and  Mike 
Powers,  Digam,  were  crowned  "The  Typical 
Boy  and  Girl  of  Lake  Forest.  The  dance  itself 
was  one  of  the  season's  best;  it  was  semi- 
formal,  and  the  music  was  provided  by  "The 
Shoreliners".  Hearts  and  crepe  paper  streamers 
were  woven  into  beautiful  decorations  for 
which  the  campus  owed  a  vote  of  thanks  to 
Mary  Em  Yarnell,  the  dance  chairman,  who 
did  a  marvelous  job. 

The  first  week  in  February  second  semester 
fraternity  rushing  began.  The  Kappa  Sigs  held 
the  first  informal  get-to-gether.  That  Saturday 
and  Sunday  were  open  rushing  periods,  but 
on  Monday  the  "smokers"  started  again.  The 
Alpha  Sigs  brought  the  rush  season  to  a  close  on 
Tuesday;  then  on  Friday  new  fraternity 
members  were  pledged. 


The  freshman  girls  did  not  look  forward 
eagerly  to  Valentine's  Day  because  it  marked 
the  beginning  of  courtesy  week,  a  pre-initiation 
tradition  which  is  100%  more  horrible  in  the 
imaginative  minds  of  the  pledges  than  the 
actual  weekend.  On  Friday  night  actives  and 
pledges  all  gathered  in  Lois  Hall  and  the  fun 
(?)  began.  Most  of  it  was  composed  of  various 
forms  of  entertainment  ranging  from  the 
sublime  to  the  ridiculous.  All  pledges  were  in 
bed  by  eleven  o'clock  complying  with  Pan 
Hellenic  rules,  but  unfortunately  there  were 
none  set  for  the  actives  who  stayed  up  for 
hours,  smoking,  talking,  and  playing  bridge. 
Saturday  afternoon  all  sororities  had  a  scav- 
enger hunt  for  their  pledges  who  brought  in 
everything  imaginable  including  bird  nests. 
That  evening  Gamma  Phi  pledges  put  on  a  very 
realistic  circus.  Chi  Omega  actives  surprised 
their  future  actives  with  a  spread,  entertain- 
ment, and  group  singing.  The  A.D.  Pi  pledges 
were  treated  to  a  movie  and  spread  Saturday 
evening  after  cleaning  the  suite  thoroughly 
that  afternoon.  Sunday  forty-four  pledges  were 
initiated  and  celebrations  were  held  at  the 
Deerpath  and  Moraine  Hotels.  Courtesy  Week 
was  fun  but  old  and  new  actives  alike  were 
exhausted. 

On  Wednesday,  February  19th,  the  first  all- 
student  music  recital  was  presented  before 
students,  faculty  members,  and  townspeople. 
It  was  such  a  success  that  Mr.  Thomas  an- 
nounced plans  to  make  it  a  monthly  event. 
Also  as  director  of  the  college  A  Cappella 
Choir,  he  began  work  with  his  new  group  which 
was  composed  of  52  selected  students  who  were 
able  to  pass  the  difficult  tryouts. 

Thursday,  February  20th,  was  the  date  of 
the  Digamma  40th  anniversary  banquet  which 
was  held  at  the  Swedish  Club  in  Chicago.  It 
included  a  novel  initiation  ceremony  which 
activated  new  members  and  re-initiated  "old 
timers".  The  entertainment  was  provided  by 
Bob  Weber,  Maurice  Hestermann,  and  Ed 
Fischer  with  other  impromptu  acts,  all  of 
which  added  up  to  a  memorable  night  for  the 
Digams. 

Sorority  attention  that  week  was  centered  on 
second  semester  rushing.  There  were  no  actual 
rush  parties,  but  merely  open  house  in  the  four 


167 


sorority  suites.  Friday  afternoon  was  set  aside 
for  the  pledging  ceremonies,  and  on  Saturday 
there  were  twelve  new  girls  proudly  displaying 
their  new  pledge  pins. 

Besides  the  fraternity  and  sorority  doings, 
other  campus  activities  were  in  the  limelight. 
The  Student  Center  Committee  was  busy 
making  plans;  the  first  of  which  was  the  in- 
formal dance  they  sponsored  March  1  in  the 
Institute.  Bob  Norwood  and  his  orchestra 
supplied  the  music.  They  also  presented  the 
idea  of  having  informal  juke-box  dances  in  the 
Institute  on  Wednesday  evenings  as  well  as 
coffee  shop  quizzes.  During  the  months  of 
February  and  March  the  college  "Brains"  were 
battling  it  out  in  the  Student  Center  Quiz 
sections  on  Wednesday  afternoons.  While 
worried  girls  shook  their  heads  and  looked 
baffled,  the  fellows  cooly  answered  the  ques- 
tions and  came  out  ahead  in  every  contest. 

The  Red  Cross  Drive  with  Margaret  Morris 
as  chairman  started  its  annual  campaign  on 
February  27th.  The  committee  did  a  fine  job  of 
reaching  every  member  on  campus  and  it 
turned  out  to  be  one  of  the  most  successful  in 
campus  history. 

On  February  28th  W.A.A.  held  a  skating 
party  at  the  Waukegan  Roller  Skating  Rink. 
It  included  the  entire  school  as  well  as  members 
of  the  association  and  provided  an  evening  of 
different  and  enjoyable  entertainment. 

On  this  same  date  the  Lake  Forest  Speech 
Squad  went  to  Carbondale  and  took  the 
greatest  number  of  honors  that  the  active 
group  had  gained  all  season.  The  record  was 
remarkable,  for  they  succeeded  in  winning  all 
debates  and  placed  first  in  six  of  the  individual 
divisions.  This  was  a  fine  addition  to  their 
already  impressive  record.  Jean  Hale  won 
third  place  in  the  state  contest  for  her  work  in 
the  extemporaneous  speech  division,  and  Russ 
Tomlinson  reached  the  finals  for  oratory.  The 
1946-47  achievements  brightened  the  future 
of  the  Lake  Forest  Speech  Squad  and  plans  for 
the  next  semester  are  in  the  making. 

March  1  the  Phi  Pi  Epsilon  Fraternity  held 
its  initiation  dinner  at  the  Chateau  Du  Jour. 
Forty  couples  attended  and  had  a  grand  time. 
There  were  excellent  refreshments  for  every- 
one and  the  music  furnished  by  the  orchestra 


was    perfect    for    dancing.     The    party    was 
chaperoned  by  the  Johnsons  and  the  Hantkes. 

The  freshmen  and  the  sophomores  under  the 
capable  direction  of  Jo  Paskins  took  over  the 
Stentor  for  the  March  5th  edition.  The  under- 
classmen dived  into  their  work  with  enthusiasm 
and  though  there  were  many  difficulties  to 
overcome,  the  results  were  well  worth  the 
effort. 

Student  Religion  and  Life  Week  opened  the 
5th  of  March.  Mr.  James  Hines  from  the  Mc- 
Kinley  Foundation  at  Champaign,  Illinois,  was 
the  speaker  for  the  chapel  services  held  Wed- 
nesday and  Thursday  in  the  Presbyterian 
Church.  Other  events  of  the  week  included 
informal  discussion  groups  which  met  in  Lois 
Hall  Lounge,  watch  services  held  each  morning 
in  the  chapel  at  6:45  under  the  direction  of 
Sunny  Chase,  and  personal  meditation  sheets 
written  by  members  of  the  student  body.  The 
closing  service  was  held  Friday  evening  with 
Jean  Hale  in  charge  of  the  program.  Ken 
Warren,  chairman  of  the  S.R.L.W.  committee 
stated  the  purpose  of  the  week  to  be  "an 
opportunity  for  every  student  to  make  the 
Lenten  season  mean  more  through  a  better 
understanding  of  religion". 

The  Student  Christian  Association  during 
the  year  was  also  an  active  group  in  making 
religion  a  more  important  factor  in  the  stu- 
dents' lives.  Nearly  every  Sunday  evening 
throughout  the  year,  group  meetings  were  held 
at  the  First  Presbyterian  Church. 

On  March  9th,  the  class  of  1950  presented 
the  traditional  Freshman  Dance  which  turned 
out  to  be  one  of  the  most  outstanding  informal 
dances  of  the  season.  The  highlight  of  the 
evening  was  the  crowning  of  the  freshman 
queen.  The  voting  for  the  contenders  had  been 
so  close  that  the  crowd  waited  anxiously  for 
the  announcement.  Even  the  future  queen  and 
her  court  did  not  know  the  winner  as  they 
walked  slowly  up  the  white  carpet  to  the 
throne.  Then,  after  what  seemed  an  eternity, 
Jim  Kelly  announced  pretty  Ginny  Gosling, 
Chi  Omega  candidate,  Freshman  Queen  of 
1947.  The  sweet  music,  the  gorgeous  decora- 
tions, and  the  lovely  queen,  indicated  a  perfect 
ending  for  the  dance  and  a  wonderful  beginning 
for  the  class  of  1950.

WIDMARK

HAS  BEEN  THE  KEYNOTE  of  Rogers  yearbooks  for

sibility to  see  that  your  publication  is  well  printed  is  shared  by  the  entire 
organization. 

The  Rogers  tradition  of  sincerity  and  quality  has  been 
recognized  by  many  schools  as  a  security  to  the  institution  and  an  in- 
spiration   to    the    staff.
