F 0 R E S T E R
COMMEMORATING THE
NINETIETH YEAR OF
LAKE FOREST COLLEGE
PRESENTED BY THE STUDENT BODY OF LAKE FOREST COLLEGE
LAKE FOREST, ILLINOIS
T,
f^ryry
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
Lois Durand Hall— 1897
11
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.
Christmas holidays prove very wintry for these
boys in 1891.

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.
13
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
ACULTY
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
head of that department here. He received his
degrees at Colorado College, University of
Denver, University of Chicago and North-
western. Dr. Johnson has written several
articles and book reviews which have been
printed and serves on many educational
committees and councils in the state. We owe a
27
great deal to our president for the work he has
done in the past to make Lake Forest a better
college.
Dean of the college and head of the depart-
ment of English is Dean McPheeters. The Dean
also serves on the administration and cur-
riculum committees. He taught before at
Wesleyan University and Lawrence. For the
"Dictionary of American Biography" he wrote
Rujus King. Dean McPheeters is a Phi Beta
Kappa and attended DePauw University,
University of Indiana, Boston University,
Harvard, University of Chicago, and Cam-
bridge University.
Dean of Women and associate professor of
education at Lake Forest since 1944 is Miss
Kathryn Klink. Miss Klink comes from
Bucyrus, Ohio, and went to school at Heidel-
berg College, Tiffin, Ohio, and Syracuse Uni-
versity, Syracuse, New York. At Kent State
University and Arizona State College, she had
practical experience in the duties of a dean of
women. 1943 to 1944 she worked as director of
USO Club and director of women's activities.
The man who is responsible for most of us
being here at Lake Forest and who is so well
known to all of us is Mr. Robert Amaden,
Director of Admissions. Mr. Amaden came
here from Stevens College where he was ad-
missions counselor. He is married and has
three children, Sally, Buddy, and Billy. His
hobbies include all sports and at one time he
was Inter-Collegiate Doubles Champion in
table tennis.
Miss Marie Meloy, Registrar, is another very
familiar figure and she is constantly swamped
with questions and problems about various
courses. She has been here at Lake Forest for
many years and formerly held the position of
Director of Admissions and was also secretary
to the faculty for several years. Miss Meloy
attended Monmouth and did social work in
Adrian, Michigan, before coming here.
Business Manager of Lake Forest is Ellis
C. Halverson, who takes over an infinite
number of jobs on the campus. Mr. Halverson
received his education at the University of
Wisconsin and Northwestern University. Be-
fore coming to Lake Forest he worked at the
Milwaukee Vocational School and did public
accounting work. Besides his job as Business
Manager, Mr. Halverson also finds time to take
on the duties of assistant secretary of the
Board of Trustees.
A former graduate of Lake Forest is Miss
Martha Biggs, who also attended the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin. Miss Biggs is head

and did public school work in Minnesota and
Wisconsin as well as being superintendent of
schools in Highland Park. He has written
several articles for educational magazines and
a book for children which is to be published
soon. Besides his duties as head of the depart-
ment of education, he is also Director of the
Evening Session and serves on many adminis-
trative committees.
A new instructor in psychology is Mrs. Mor-
gan, who attended Ward Belmont and North-
western. Mrs. Morgan has done research work
at the Cradle in Evanston and has written
many articles on child psychology. At the
present time she is preparing two workbooks on
abnormal psychology and childhood and
adolescence. Her hobbies include dancing,
walking and her little daughter, Nancy.
Another new instructor of psychology is Dr.
Carleton Rogers, who is Minister of the Grace
Community Church in Lake Bluff. Dr. Rogers
first began teaching here in the last summer
school session in the field of religion. He at-
tended Saint Olaf College, Hamline University,
Northwestern University and Garrett Biblical
Institute, and he has done radio work in Rock-
ford where he had two programs.
At the head of the Division of Physical and
Natural Sciences is Dr. Bruce Lineburg, who is
also professor of biology. Dr. Lineburg at-
tended Southwestern State Normal in Penn-
sylvania, Ohio University, and Johns Hopkins.
Dr. Lineburg has had numerous articles
published. Besides his teaching duties, he is
also chairman of faculty athletic committee and
chairman of entrance committee. This year the
College Conference of Illinois elected him
president.
Assistant professor of biology is Dr. Eliza-
beth Lunn, who taught here before from 1929 to
1936. During the war she worked as a chemist.
She attended Wellesley, University of Chicago,
and Northwestern University. At one time
she also assisted at Northwestern. Her home is
in Highland Park.
Dr. Curtis, professor of mathematics is also
chairman of the Calendar and Schedule Com-
mittee and teaches a course in astronomy. He
has written many articles for publication on
astronomy and mathematics. Dr. Curtis at-
tended Cornell and Northwestern and is a
Phi Beta Kappa. He taught before coming to
Lake Forest at Barnard College, Columbia,
New York; Wells College, Aurora, New
York; Marquette, and Northwestern. Dr.
Curtis' hobby is traveling and he has taken
two trips to Europe, one trip around South
America, visited Alaska, and several trips to
the west coast.
Dr. North, professor of chemistry, also has
additional duties on the faculty as chairman
of the Curriculum Committee. He attended
Beloit College and the University of Illinois.
Before coming to Lake Forest he taught at the
University of North Dakota. Dr. North has
written for the American Golfers Magazine.
His hometown is Rockford, Illinois.
A new instructor in chemistry this year is
Mr. Moningere, who has received his degrees
from Northwestern, Harvard, and University
of Chicago. He now has plans to finish his
masters in September. He has written several
articles on physics. As hobbies, he lists reading
and traveling. Before coming to Lake Forest,
he served in the Marine Corps.
Mr. Jensen is associate professor of chemistry
and physics and taught at Northwestern from
1944 to 1946. He received his education at
Iowa State Teachers College and the Uni-
versity of Iowa. He also was principal of the
Venton High School in Iowa. Mr. Jensen has
two children, James and Carolee, and ap-
propriately lists as his hobbies, pictures of
children and children's toys.
The associate professor of physics and head
resident of Blackstone Hall is Mr. Donald Pierce
who taught at Northwestern two years before
coming to Lake Forest. Mr. Pierce attended
Augustana, University of Colorado, and North-
western. His hometown is Moline, Illinois, and
he lists traveling as his main hobby.
In the department of physical education, we
31
find three instructors. The first is Miss Barbara
Calmer, who is new this year as the girls'
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
attending Lake Forest, he also went to Joliet
College and served over four years in the Army
Air Corps. His specific duties in athletics in-
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.
43
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.

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.

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
Founded at the University of Virginia in
1869 . . . Alpha Chi Chapter at Lake Forest
in 1896, following the Chi Chapter, 1880, first
of Kappa Sigma north of the Mason-Dixon
line but revoked by faculty. Kappa Sig and
1946 meant Roy Crandall, president of the
Junior Class, Pete "Letterman" Schmit, Prexy
of Seniors, and Paul "Hit those books, pledges"
Lundell, leading the Student Council . . .
Gar Koenig and Gibby MacArthur receiving
the degree of PA . . . nice, quiet pledge
meetings-restrained fun . . . fall initiation of
first Seniors, then Juniors and Sophomores,
lastly the Frosh . . . largest house on

as possible . . . Ned's, Harry' s, and Eric's

huh?) . . . the Metz memorial room . . . new
rugs in the halls . . . some fellas bringing schol-
astic average up . . . others — ???. . . the would-
be preachers, all THREE of
them . . . sports (rather a

officers for the year, Don
Wiiken and Russ Tomlin-

Behlen, president. Bob Phillips, vice-president,
Len Tyrrell, secretary, and Bill Sandon,
treasurer, Hal Larson and Bob Weber, Ser-
geants at Arm, and J. Kenneth Warren, R. C.
Tomlinson, Jr., and Paul M. Lundell, chaplains.
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
'<^^^
8S
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.
86
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
87
^.-^
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.
88
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.
90
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
92
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.
95
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.

COMMITTEES
COMMITTEES
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.

THLETICS
r
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.

What an idea this is! Smart, plain colors or gay
prints inspired by the tropics. But the big story
is the Jockey Short inner liner made just like
famous Jockey Underwear. Provides masculine
support. Elastic webbing inserted in the leg open-

legs of the liner cannot gap. Get yours to-
day— enjoy real comfort plus social security.
