^his is a book
of progress — progress of the
University in things physical
and of the classes in matters
scholastic.

It seeks to capture the
spirit of the fine book through
the use of a symbolic medal-
lion that sets its style and
depicts its theme. Executed
by Mr. Dale Nichols, one of
America's foremost con-
temporary artists, the
TERRAPIN'S design presents
a simplified tree— ^represent-
ing knowledge — its branches
and roots gripping an open
book symbolic of man's rec-
ords and research, all within
the bounds of a concentric
circle of two diametric divi-
sions, one displaying the rays
of the sun on its field of white,
the other showing scattered
stars on a field of color. Its
allegorical import portrays
the expansion of man's
knowledge througli roots
deeply planted in and about
his recorded discoveries as an
endless process throughout
the eternal time-cycle of day
and night.

It is to such improvement
of man's lot that the Univer-
sity has dedicated its march of
progress; it is to the Univer-
sity's forward surge that the
TERRAPIN devotes itself.

BOOK OF PROGRESS

y^ ^ ^ EEPLY engraven into University annals will be entered the hap-
\J)m I penings of the school year just past. For though 1940 marked
_JL->^ neither auspicious anniversary of state or school, its days recorded
the realization of many phases of Maryland's program of progress. Most
conspicuous of campus advancements was the physical transformation
wrought by the completion of seven modem buildings and extensive
alterations to many of the established structures. It is to portray this
great change, to show bywords and VI EWS the dominance of these
new edifices over those they replaced, that the editors of the 1940 Terrapin
present its first section.

HiLE not as physically impres-
sive as the permanent buildings adorning the campus, no less notable are the classes them-
selves. For each class, through the effect of its increased enrollment, through the progress
of its individual members in their scholastic, athletic, and social attainments, plays an
integral role in the whole advancing order. The depiction of each undergraduate class then,
its members, and their interests — pyramiding one on the other through the four years of
college — embodies the next four divisions of this volume.

.NSCRIBED on the pages of the FRESHMAN section are events
that will ever remain etched in the memories of those who have passed the opening mile-
stone in their collegiate careers. An attempt has been made to capture the first bewilder-
ment of adjustment to new surroundings, the tiresome, though thrilling, ritual of registra-
tion, the indignities suffered at the hands of belligerent sophomores,
the pleasures of Orientation Week. Movement toward the more pur-
poseful undertaking of study is recounted in the Freshman's initial
contact with his faculty advisers, while his ventures into organized
society receive due note in the story of campus fraternities and soror-
ities. And finally, as if in summation of the growth of a binding spirit
for the Class of 1943, its athletic triumphs, its aggressive officers, and
its social successes close this section, portraying a year of glorious
adaptation.

lPT material for introduction to the Sophomore class history was
furnished by the victory of the second-year men over their arch Freshmen
rivals in the annual tug-of-war, for thus was climaxed the term-long induc-
tion ceremony of the unruly Frosh into Maryland's traditional ranks. But
a more stirring recollection to the SOPHOMORE than traditional
victory, springing from the same group feeling that effected the interclass
triumph, was the deep-seated pride of the second-year athlete in his initial
Varsity efforts and the genuine interest of the non-participant in the
attainments of his fellows. Hence, herein are contained all things athletic.
Appropriate finis is written to the division by a recital of the achievements
of Sophomore officers and the pleasures of the annual prom.

Ihe arrival of JUNIOR year sped
the departure of aimless indecision, for here was a year with a purpose.
Because the ambitions and constructive labors of their own Junior
staff members struck closest home, the Terrapin editors open the
fourth section of this volume with a picturization of publication activ-
ities during 1940. The many contributions to the progress of campus
organizations also from Juniors, whose every glance rested on future
Senior laurels, affords reason for the recitation of club attainments
within these pages. Yet, the efforts of the third-year student passed
not without reward; rather, witness the indications on the rolls of
University honor societies, presented throughout the pages of the
Junior Division, of their ready acceptance of active and deserving
Juniors. A final extollment of class leaders and the climactic Prom-
enade move the Terrapin into the realm of the departing Senior.

.LWAYS to the SENIOR has fallen a heritage of
leadership — ^supervision over the Student Government Association, the
Men's League and the Women's League, and the training of a smart and
alert military corps. But, though burdened with greatest responsibility,
the Senior Class attained fullest honors, its most illustrious members being
elected to the ranks of Omicron Delta Kappa and Mortar Board, its most
studious to Phi Kappa Phi. So it is that the 1940 Terrapin interprets the
essence of Senior activity. There then remains but the listing of graduating
Seniors, the legend of June Week, a final tribute to six of Maryland's sons
to whom past June Weeks have signified true commencement of voyages to
success and fame — and the Terrapin's message of progress of school
and student has run the gamut of its course.

IMENSIONS still determine extent of growth.
By such measure, Maryland continued her
march of progress in 1940. Buildings mush-
roomed, faculties expanded to fill the build-
ings, and an ever-increasing student body
rushed to enroll — we were on the way.

PAST

Overwhelming has been the physical transformation,
most evident symbol of progress, on the University
campus during 1940. For, during the year the ad-
ministrative offices of the University, the Colleges of
Home Economics and Arts and Sciences, all moved
gratefully into spacious modern quarters, the Col-
lege of Agriculture embraced a completely-equipped
Poultry Building, resident students welcomed a new
men's dormitory group and dining hall, and the en-
tire student body looked with approval on a well-
ordered Infirmary. It is this sudden surge of progress
that the following section of the 1940 Terrapin at-
tempts to depict.

The new Home Economics building, occupying a predominant niche

in the campus square, is proof of the continued growth of the college.

Its entrance, with wide carved doors and distinctive facing, leads to an

interior made equally attractive by the unusual color scheme of the walls —

one which is keyed to light cedar with accents of terra-cotta, dark brown,

blue and green. Large display windows, modern kitchens, and

laboratories are all equipped to meet the requirements

of an advancing scientific curriculum.

ROM cily and country, from high school and
prep school you came to the University. Your
past accomplishments meant little, for. with
your Freshman companions, you were only
entering the collegiate path to your goal — and
it was a hard goal to reach.

rOU FROSH, BUT . . . .

The bewilderment of arrival, the formality of reg-
istration, the chiding of Sophomores, and the frivolity
of orientation affairs together made a week of many
moods for the entering Freshman. But even when the
serious business of study with a kindly /acu/^y began,
a restlessness seemed to prevail, an excitement that
needed only the rush attentions of campus fraternities
and sororities to set the pulses quickening. .An^l when,
with haught\- spirit, behind their officers, the brosh
lied in promenade, it became readily apparent that
the Class of 1943 had found itself.

here," said the upperclassman as he
pointed the campus out to the freshman,
just in town to matriculate — at least
that"s what the registrar's letter said.

The rats left home with a sense of fore-
boding about hazing, only to find their
sentence postponed for several days until
the uppcrclassmen could return to the
campus from Ocean Cit\ . .\nd so. they

roommates and various members of their
families already on hand, and so each in-

and how long he had been on campus.
Others entered an cmpt\ room and
straightway proceeded to select the bet-
ter bed and dresser.

quire as to where registration would be,

happening there but just what, was a
question, jui-lging from the time they
stood on the front steps, nothing much
would happen, but. as is usually the case.

even waiting lines move. The inside of
the Armory bore a marked resemblance
to the New York Stock Exchange. As the
freshmen gazed upon this scene while
waiting to have their pictures taken, they
could only distinguish a mass of hurrying
people, some of whom apparently knew
where they were going. The "'to be
laughed at later" pictures taken, the
freshmen must needs brave the impos-
sible confusion below, and with a dazed
look and faltering step they started down
the aisle to the right marked "Arts and
Sciences," "Engineering," etc. The ac-
tual registration wasn't so difficult. In

fact, according to the professors, all fresh-
men took this English and that science,
and so before they knew it, they were
signed up for chemistry and told to go
pay their bills. Then in none too rapid
succession, they received their dining hall
cards, P.O. box numbers, library rules,
and a "don't forget to carry it with you '
M Book.

The freshmen were to learn in short
order that there was no escaping tests in
college. The first afternoon, "Wednesday,
September 1 3, there were language quali-
fication exams; the second afternoon,
English classification tests; and the third

afternoon, those amusing aptitude tests.
Very austere looking teachers and stu-
dents kept an eagle eye upon them, as
they drew lines through "ain'ts" and in-
dicated that "a ship is to water as a car is
to land. "

Dinners at the Dining I lall were really
very interesting and cultural not at all

men had heard. There was always a head
table with guest speakers and campus
moguls to look at. My, but those upper-
classmen were clever the way they could
greet the freshmen without an obxious
quake of stage fright. Dr. Jenkins taught
them how to study in one easy lesson, and
Coach Dobson made sportsmanship a
freshman ideal.

The Diamondback cautioned the freshmen

not tell them about hu\ing a chance on a
raccoon coat. Consequently, some fresh-
men boys were gullible enough to believe
that perhaps their two-bits and luck
would entitle them to the coat and the
honor of walking w ith the frosh president
at Homecoming. The sophomores were
obviously very particular about the ap-
pearance of their shoes, and no one but

the freshman could fill the role of boot-
black. It was carrying matters a bit far
too, when they didn't even furnish their
own shoe polish.

To sa>' that the wearing of rat hats and
'"no cutting campus" were enforced in the
spirit of fun and to be enjoyed by all was
one thing, but it was another to say that
paddling was in the same spirit. It was a
very one-sided affair — but as the juniors
reminded them — there was always another
year.

The S.G.A. meeting was comfortably
informal, or relaxed, as they say at Mary-
land. Class officers welcomed the fresh-
men by saying the same thing a half-
dozen different ways. Some of them were
funny. The songs and cheers were thrill-
ing, but it sounded as if the upperclass-
men should not forget their M Books
either. The meeting broke up early, only
to be continued at the Grill. Forsooth, it
was most amazing how many people that
place could hold.

The President's Reception was a very
definite climax to the week's activities.
There were so many freshmen enrolled

Coliseum, whieh. w ith the addition of the

too — was inescapable, for the committee
of upperclassmen who helped with the re-
ception just wouldn't let anyone ease
through to the dance fioor. Perhaps they
knew best too, for shaking hands with Dr.
B\ rd and the faculty recei\ing with him
wasn't such an ori^lcal after all.

The dance which followed was made up
of promenades, Paul Joneses, and snake
and spot dances, just when a boy had
met the belle, or otherwise, of the evening,
a whistle blew, and he was off to a new
conquest. When 1 1 o'clock came, every
tired freshman was ready to call it a day.
On the morrow the\- were able to take it
easy, for there was nothing of importance
on the program until Monday, when they

party smiles, but in the clothes and smiles
the\' would wear until June.

the president, vice-president, and now
president, Dr. Byrd's personal history has
closely paralleled the forward motion of

The College of Arts and Sciences pro-
vides four years of training in the liberal
arts and natural sciences. The curricula
are so constructed that a student may
achieve during the first two years in the
Lower Division, a broad cultural founda-
tion for any professional or vocational
career. In the third and fourth years,
designated the Upper Division, each stu-

dent completes a closely unified group of
courses leading toward vocational, pro-
fessional, or cultural goals. To students
of other colleges in the University, the
College of Arts and Sciences offers train-
ing in fundamental subjects, both cul-
tural and scientific, which should permit
them to acquire the perspective necessary
for liberal culture and public service.

equip young men and women for agricul-
tural and related occupations ; it conducts

systematic research on projects of iinpor-
tance to agriculture ; through the Exten-
sion Service, it brings information and
assistance to people on the farm and in
their homes throughout the State; and,
through its regulatory function, it is

IHE College of Engineering began the
academic year with the largest enrollment
in its history, a total of jbo students, of
whom 260 were freshmen.

During the year, equipment was added
in all departments, the faculty was en-
larged, teaching methods were improved,
and research work in cooperation with
Federal, State, and industrial organiza-

tions was expanded.

The aim of the courses offered is to
produce graduates who will not only be
well trained in the fundamentals of en-
gineering, but who will become good citi-
zens as well as good engineers. The work
of the College of Engineering continues to
merit the approval of the engineering
accrediting agencies.

The position of Dean of Faculty was
created at the beginning of the collegiate
year 1938. The underlying purpose of
this innovation was to bring the faculty
and administration in closer harmony.

Although it is difficult to define the
specific duties of the Dean of the Faculty,

it may be said that the main function of
the office is to give advice on faculty and
administrative problems. Also, the ser-
vices of the Dean of the Faculty are al-
ways at the disposal of the students, staff,
and parents.

ivLTHOUGH the main duties of the Dean

which benefit the entire student body.

The chairmanship of the Student Life
Committee is his most important single

responsiblity, for in this position he is
able to promote and control campus ac-

Dean of Men is also charged with helping
student government organizations keep

representing women's interests: helping

students to make academic adjustments;
guiding students" social affairs; super-
vising dormitories and off-campus houses :
placing housemothers in dormitories, so-
rorities, and fraternities: counseling in-
dividual students: and advising and co-
operating with womens organizations.

rnity '^F{ushing

JTerhaps it all started when f->eddie
Freshman pledged Mu Cow Mu because
the boys at the Nu Tu ^ u house tried to
slip him a Mickey Finn at a pledge dance.
However, such tactics as these were never
resorted to on the Maryland campus. The
fraternit\ . during rushing season, merely
told him to make their house his house,
and to steer clear of all snakes-in-the-
grass (other fraternity men).

The lowly "rat" was completely as-
tounded by the number of men in the dif-
ferent frats who possessed long strings of
keys. How was he to know that these
were borrowed from some alumnus lor the
occasion, and the complete assortment of
cu|~is. trophies, banners, and medals were
acquirei.1 in the same wa\' to accomplish
the same purpose.

For two weeks the prospect was gi\en
all sorts of consideration, his schedule was
arranged, buildings and classrooms were
pointed out, rides were furnished to and

from classes, he lunched at the house,
dates were arranged, and dances and
smokers were held for his benefit. .A.
routine similar to this went on for two
weeks until Silence Day. Then, for the
next twenty-four hours the frosh was
given a chance to think about the bid
that he wanted to accept.

When the gloating and ' 'sour grapes' "
were over, and after many a pin had
been proudly' displayed, the tables
seemed to be turned. The paddle be-
came "the board of education," the
house was entered \ia the back door,
shoes were shined for the actives, and
he became a dumb, gross, insignificant
"goat" who was required to learn the
names of the founders and a host of
other seemingly worthless facts about
the fraternity of his choice.

At the beginning of the second se-
mester, formal initiation brought forth
a new and shiny pin and many "broth-
ers" who were entitled to borrow mone>',
clothes, and automobile.

Ihe activities of the Interfraternity
Council started with the opening of the
fraternity rushing period on the first day
of classes and for two weeks the council
kept close surveillance o\er all rushing
functions. Following this period it re-

vised rush rules for 1940-41. Rushing is

time it will get under way in grand style
with a dance at each house on the opening

A cooperative system wrs inaugurated
among the Interfraternity Councils of
George Washington, Georgetown, and
Maryland Universities, with the idea in
mind of promoting friendship and closer
ties between these three schools. Mem-
bers of the University of Maryland Coun-
cil were guests of the George Washington
Council at their Prom held in the ball-
room of the Willard Hotel in Washington
and had the pleasure of dancing to the
music of Glen Gray and his orchestra.

All clubs gave their hearty support to
the Interfraternity sing sponsored by the
Tri Delts. Held in March in the Agricul-
ture Auditorium, the contest assumed a
formal air as the participants came
dressed in evening dresses and tuxedos.
To Kappa Delta sorority went the award
for the best group singing.

Only the friendliest of rivalry and true
sportsmanship prevailed in interfrater-
nity athletics. The Sigma Nu's walked
away with first places in touch football,
volleyball, and basketball. The Theta

Chi's were champions in howling, and the
Phi Sig's succeeded in taking the ping-

The annual Interfraternity Ball was
the climactic affair of the 1939-40 council,
which was guided through the year by
Joseph Merritt, president; Page I-'ulling-
ton, \ice-president; and Douglass Cassel,
secretary-treasurer.

WoocK' Herman an^l "the batxl that

crepe paper in keeping with the "blues "

The banners of the clubs, hung from the
balcony of the Armory, were symbolic ol
fraternity life. Occupying a conspicuous
position behind the band was the new
InterfratcrnitN Council banner, laxors

for the c\cning were wooden replicas of
the Interfraternity Council ke\ .

During the dance, orchestra leader

for permanent possession. The scholar-
ship cup was again won by Alpha Gamma
Rho, and to Robert Benson went the
Interfraternity key awarded each year to
the freshman student with the highest
scholastic average. Phi Sigma Kappa
took the ping-pong championship cup
from the A.T.O.'s, in whose possession it
had been for the past two years.

Retiring president Merritt introduced
his successor, Walter Spelsberg, who in
turn presented next year's vice-president,
Robert Ayres, and secretary-treasurer,
Robert Rice.

Kelso Shipe, the Phi Delt prexy, did his bit
by holding down the positions of head cheer-
leader and business manager of the Old Line.
Kelso shared membership in O.D.K. with
Frank Davis, who had the unique distinction
of being president of his class for three suc-
cessive years.

Any account of the activities of the Phi
Delts would be incomplete without some men-
tion of Gene Ochsenreiter who, besides being
Junior Prom chairman, managed to spend a
good part of his time either on the track or the
basketball court. Carl Goller contributed his
bit to the club's list of activities by serving as
varsity track manager.

/iLPHA Tau Omega celebrated its tenth
birthday on the Maryland campus by having
the house completely redecorated.

The R.O.T.C. unit was replete with the
A.T.O.'s, in Captain Joe Parks, and Lieu-
tenants Bill Brown, Bruce Davis, and George
Lawrence. George also played lacrosse and
football, and climaxed his athletic career this
year by being named to the All-District Eleven.
The A.T.O.s turned out en masse at the bo.x-
ing matches to see the ring performances of
brothers Norm Hathaway and John Harn.

The Alpha Taus have a right to be proud of
their scholarship record. Among their mem-
bers in Beta Alpha Psi, honorary accounting
fraternity, were Bill Brown, president of the
senior class and Pi Delta Epsilon, and boxing
manager Priff Healey, Bob Cartee, and Frank

Jimmy Heil had an imposing list of activities,
including managership of the basketball team,
commander of a company in the R.O.T.C.,
and membership in both Latch Key and Scab-
bard and Blade.

George DeWitt has twice been on the South-

OiGMA Nu maintained the record that it had
set in previous years by winning the Phi Delta
Theta activities cup for the third consecutive
time.

Fifteen of the brothers were on the varsity
football squad. Among the more prominent
were Mondorff, Murphy, DuVali , and Wharton.
Sigma Nu did not limit its athletic activities
to the football team. "Rip" Hewitt and Oscar
Nevares led the way of the "Snakes" in
lacrosse. Adding this to the presidency of the
Rossbourg Club gave quite a goal that "Rip"
left for his brothers to emulate. Moguls off
the athletic field were Bill Holbrook, president
of the Sophomore Class, and Al Dieffenbach,
a member of Beta Alpha Psi.

year for the Phi Sigs. The fraternity was
guided by president Page Fullington, who
was also \ice-president of the Interfraternity
Council and chairman of the Councils Ball.

Control of campus publications and mem-
bership in the honorary journalistic fraternity,
Pi Delta Epsilon. were maintained by Allan
Fisher, editor of the Diamondback. and Bob
Rice, editor of the Ti:rrapin and \ice-presi-
dent of the chapter. That the rigors of military
training held interest for many of the members
was evidenced by the fact that Thomas Riley
held the position of lieutenant colonel, and sev-
eral other seniors and Juniors held lesser posts.

Outstanding among the chapter's social
events were the Founder's Day Banquet in

sore^l in collaboration with chapters at George

the annual Sailors Ball, which has become so
well-known as a campus tradition that every
coed looks forward to the day when she may
attend.

iwo events brought Sigma Phi Sigma
prominently into the limelight this year. They
built a new house, and Bert Coleman, one of
the outstanding Footlighters, escorted Ann
Rutherford around Washington. But Bert and
the new house were not all that Sigma Phi
Sigma had to swell its pride. Bob Kinney,
Glee Club president, composed "Alma Mater."
Doug Steinberg, business manager of the
Diamondback, Warren Steiner, manager of
boxing last year, and captain in the R.O.T.C.,
and Tom Coleman, president of the S.G.A.,
were members of O.D.K.

In the athletic field Cy Race was the man-
ager of the wrestling team, and Bob Wilson,
vice-president of the Senior Class, was a
tennis ace.

At the rate that Sigma Phi Sigma has been
going they may soon answer the telephone in
their new house with, "Hello, Tammany
Hall."

Alpha Gamma Rho's membership was stud-
ded with campus moguls. Vernon Foster was
president of Alpha Zeta, Bill Brosius was presi-
dent of the Student Grange, and Joe Merritt,
as president of the Interfraternity Council,
held one of the most responsible positions on
the hill. Howard Bailey was varsity goalie on
the soccer team.

In the line of scholarship the Alpha Gamma
Rhos were justly proud of their record. The
scholarship cup offered annually by the Inter-
fraternity Council has been in their posses-
sion almost continually.

J~l.\\iN(; merged with Theta Kappa Nu,
Lambda Chi Alpha now claims the largest
national organization of any fraternity on the
hill and ranks third in size among all frater-
nal organizations in the country.

Led by Nelson Jones, expansion of the fra-
ternity was local as well as national. .\ well-
rounded pledge group was attained at the end
of rush season, and eight new members were
added to the active list during the year.

Improvements to the house added meas-
urably to the enjoyment of the brothers. Re-
decoration of the entire interior brightened
surroundings, and a new recording machine
and radio led to many pleasant hours of re-
laxation.

Lambda Chi Alpha was represented m die

Esmond and Wilbur Yocum. Following in
the footsteps of these seniors were Nelson
Jones and David Kelly who held posts in the
Junior R.O.T.C. Well-known on the campus
were Jose Sanchiz, president of the Spanish
Club, and Richard Carroll and Wilbur Herbert,
members of Tau Beta Pi.

Climaxing the Lambda Chi's activities was
the Founder's Day Banquet and spring formal
dance held at the Wardman Park Hotel on
March 15. At this occasion the local chapter
was fortunate in having as guest speaker a
prominent national officer, High Chancellor
Russell Chedderly.

black and gold of the University of Mar\ lanLl,
for though S..\.M. e.xperieneed internal e.x-
pansion. a fine social season, and the good
fortune of securing a new house, its members
found time to enter fully into Uni\'ersit>- life.
Dave iAbrams, in addition to holding the
fraternal reins, maintained his perennial ^5
average, coached and captained the fencing
team, and represented his fraternit\' on the
Hillel Club Student Council. Murray Valen-
stein served as sports editor of the Diamond-
back and capped his record as a member of the
committee for each of his class proms by being
appointed to the social committee for June
Week. Ralph Tyser, circulation manager of
the Diamondback, was a lieutenant in the ad-
vanced R.O.T.C., and with Murray a member
of Pi DeltaEpsilon. Stanley Mann and f lar\e\

varsity track team. It is interesting to note
that these five, all residents of the top floor of
the fraternity house, earned a combined aver-
age of 3.2.

Bob Farkus became intramural handball
champion though it necessitated defeating
three S.A.M. pledges to gain the title, while
other intramural sports held interest for Alfred
Bernstein and "Colonel" Zinberg. Both
Marvin Polikoff,- Diamondback sport staff
member, and Al Molofsky, sophomore prom
committee appointee, reflected Valenstein's
influence with their choices of endeavor.
Sidney Berman and Eugene Fisher rounded
out the membership of a literally active group.

.AKING literally the words of their fra-
ternity's jaunty rouser song, "Tau, boys . . .
Is the first to take a place . . . ," the fraters of
Tau Epsilon Phi's campus chapter during the
past school season garnered honors in almost
every phase of University activity.

Best known among T.E.P.'s graduating se-
niors was "Mickey " Mulitz, former All-
American lacrosse star and Varsity basket-
bailer. The chapter's other athletic luminaries,
"Hotsey" Alperstein, 145-pound Varsity boxer,
Arthur Peregoff, manager of the Varsity ten-
nis team, "Scotty " Young, F"rosh lacrosse
manager, and "Jason " LeFrak, 1939 track
manager, all earned their letters. The latter

ager-elect Tilles, junior track manager Han

Peregoff and Young shone in scholarship.
The former, a consistent 3.5 accounting stu-
dent, was initiated into Beta Alpha Psi ; the
latter, an embryonic marketer, was appointed
chairman of the Advertising Committee of the
Collegiate Chamber of Commerce.

Chancellor "Gabby" Lehman stood high
among Senior chemistry students ; Larry Auer-
bach was vice-president and stage manager of
the Footlight Club; and Bill Bralove and
"Bunny" Klawans expanded T.E.P.'s active
entourage as A.S.M.E. members.

Oi.\ii-:kn acti\e members and five pledges
joined in an enthusiastic celebration of Phi
Alpha s twenty-first anniversary on the cam-
pus. Especially significant as a mark of de-
velopment was the increased interest shown
by the members in campus affairs.

Burt Borden carried the presidency of Beta
Alpha Psi, honorary accounting fraternity, an
honor that went hani.l-in-h;inLl with his status
as top ranking man of the College of Com-
merce. Managership of the Freshman tennis
team added to a well-rounded program.

Handling the managing editorship of this
year's Terrapin consumed the bulk of the
school year for George Flax, who was also a
member of Pi Delta Epsilon. honorary journal-
istic fraternity. With Burt. Cieorge was a
member of Beta Alpha Psi, holding down the

class representatives to the Board of Directors
of the Collegiate Chamber of Commerce.
Third of Phi Alpha's senior Commerce trio
was Sidney Dorfman, whose major endeavor
lay in directing activities for the Marketing
Committee of the Collegiate Chamber of
Commerce.

In other fields Chemist Danny Kaufman
knocked the carbon atoms for a well-earned
high scholastic average. Agronomist-to-be
Sheldon Michaels tempered profitable study
with literary effort for the Old Line, and
"Hermie" Ehudin, junior Commerce student,
unfolded a glib tongue as a member of the
Varsity Debate team.

ii. brotlicrs of .Alpha Lamb^la lau met lor
their weekly conclave in a little white house
about half way down the hill. The fact that
most of them were daydodgers did not prevent
them from taking an active part in many
campus activities.

When Buddy Dieudonne called the meeting
to order, he saw a goodly number of uniforms
in the crowd. Lacy Hall held down a Junior
Officer's position in the R.O.T.C., as well as in
the Pershing Rifles. Lacy was also a member
of the .American Society of Mechanical 1 Engi-
neers. Secretary Cliff Saltzman, another ol the
boys in advanced arm\-, was a budding a\ ia-
tor. He was one of the favore^l few on the
campus who took the course given by the
Ci\il .Aeronautics .Authority. John Crone
added to the military aspect an^l name ol the
club as an officer in the R.O.T.C.

The Alpha Lambda Taus did not see much
of Bob Mohle during the second semester. He
was busy practice teaching and all of his .spare
moments were spent in the preparation ol

lesson plans. The Daniel Boone of the club was
Howard Fugitt. one of the regular members of
the University rifle team.

Encouragement by faculty members did
much to bolster the interest and enthusiasm of
the boys. George W. Fogg of the Library and
Charles D. Murphy of the English Depart-
ment willingly lent their time and energy
toward putting the group on a firm foundation.

At the present time Alpha Lambda Tau is
one of the smaller clubs on the campus. How-
ever, the past few years have shown a marked
progressiveness manifested in its sizable
pledge classes, and the members are looking
forward to a well-established position on the
Maryland campus.

Panhellenic

Council

(lurrv

Ihf. display of panhellenic spirit and
cooperation was noteworthy during the
past year. The council functioned
under the direction of Ann Irvine, pres-
ident; Mary Lee Ross, secretary: and
Tempe Curry, treasurer.

To the representatives of the fi\'e
national sororities and several local
clubs fell the task of revising and ad-
ministering rush rules.

.\n institution that has pro\ed its
worth in other schools — a Junior Pan-
hellenic was organized by the council.
Two pledges of each group met reg-
ularly at the different chapter houses,
where members explained to the neo-
phytes the duties and responsibilities of
acollege panhellenic council an^l stressed
the importance of friendK relations
among the campus sororities.

Each Pan-Hel sorority played hostess
to members of other groujTS at the pro-
gressive dinner. Later in the evening
the pledges joined the actives in invit-
ing campus swains to radio dances held
in all the houses.

Sorority Rushing

vJn the Sunday afternoon of the Panhellenic
Open-Day teas, many a hopeful lass dressed
within an inch of her life and stepped appre-
hensively on the threshold of an imposing
sorority house. The door was opened wide and
the members of the sisterhood turned on their
charm full blast.

For a mad week she was "tea'd,"" feted, and
questioned. Then when her resistance had
reached an all-time low, the week-end arrived
and she had a chance "to see how the girls
really live." She found herself on a date with
a campus big shot who praised dear old T.K.O.
and impressed upon her that she was not the
"Sigma" type.

After harrowing all-night bull sessions in the
dorms following the week-end, she came to the
end of the rush period. Then, on Pledge Day
she aligned herself with the group in which
there were the greatest number of coeds her
size with cute clothes.

V^ONTINUING a policy of fostering intellec-
tual advancement on the campus, Alpha Lamb-

da Delta enjoyed a full program of activities.
At the beginning of the school year, mem-
bers aided Miss Howard, Assistant Dean of
Women, in various functions of Freshman
Week, and followed this up in late September
with the annual tea for Freshman women.
Special features of the year were the joint
meetings with Phi Eta Sigma, at which coop-
eration in various projects for school better-
ment was planned. This year's officers were:
Doris McFarland, president; 'Virginia Mercer,
vice-president; Katharine Perkins, secretary;
and Elizabeth Funk, treasurer.

Xhe ancient maxim, "F^riJe goeth be-

fore a fall. ' best described the Class of '43
during the early part of the first semester.
Everything started when the ne\vl\- elected
F"reshman Class President. .\1 Ruppers-
berger, announce^l to the school that the
freshmen were no longer going to abide
by the traditional "rat rules." Upon
hearing this statement, the sophomores

the dignity and supremacy of the class.

the sophs played barber and ga\e Rup-

issue reached a dramatic climax following
a freshman meeting when sophs met frosh

Their Officers . . .

The climax of the struggle between
classes was finally reached on Home-
coming Day. With the tug-of-war
came a decided victory for the Sopho-
mores. Altogether, the Class of 1943
feels it has shown more spirit than has
been expressed on the campus in many
years.

Other officers of the class who were
more fortunate in surviving the on-
slaught of the Sophomores were ; Ted
Caldwell, vice-president; Jacqueline
Wilson, secretary : and Doris Woods,
treasurer.

Their Prom

But the smoke had by no means
cleared, for on December 8 the frosh
precipitated a near riot by their an-
nouncement, "No stags allowed" to
the Freshman Promenade. This issue
settled, they at last cast aside their
aura of independence, and, to the mu-
sic of Matt Matson and his CBS elev-
en-piece orchestra, played host to the
upperclassmen. Matson had recently
played at Catholic and George Wash-
ington Universities and had enjoyed
increasing popularity in the South. In
addition to the vocalizations of Dot
Farrell, the University quartet har-
monized on popular tunes.

DeWitt Smith, general chairman of
the Prom, was assisted by the follow-
ing committee heads: Ray Grelecki,
orchestra ;Marjorie Brock, promenade;
Eileen Carter, decorations; Kathryn
Sheely, bids; Charles Harry and Betty
Graham, chaperones.

FTER a year at Maryland, finding yourselj
and the University compatible, you developed
definite interests. Foremost rose a new atten-
tion to Xarsity teams and players, and an
even stronger ivill to ivin in sport contests. It
was not all. but it ivas an excellent Sophomore
criterion.

ERE AK ARDEJiT OLD LIHER

A hearty handclasp from familiar companions, a
realization that he was on the transmitting end of the
proverbial "paddle" ga\e the Sophomore encourage-
ment to firmly supervise the class affairs of the lowly
Frosh. With like vitality he participated or cheered
his mates as they assumed their places on varsity
athletic teams or engaged in Homecoming Day or AU-
l 'niversily \'ight programs. Thus passed the first
plunge into aggressive leadership by in^li\idual of-
ficers and classmen, and as a result, there was a
stronger spirit of conviviality, embodied in a congenial
promenade, for the Sophomore Class as a whole.

Subs Star, Too, as Terps Win
Opener from Hampden-Sydney

Terrapin forces did their first howling
September 30 when they defeated a stub-
born but hopelessly inadequate Hamp-
den-Sydney eleven in the opener at Col-
lege Park. The Terps scored twice in the
first quarter when Joe Murphy skirted
around left end from the twelve. A few
minutes later a pass from Murphy to
Beamer set up a three-yard plunge by
Johnny Boyda for the second tally.

The final score of the da\' came in the
closing minutes when the Old Liners
worked the ball down to the Tiger 8 and
Beamer cuddled with a pass in the end
zone to clean matters up in fine shape.
Only the superb punting of Harry Mur-
dock kept the Tigers in the game.

Mondorff Leads I'eam to ^'ictory
Over Terrors in Night (iame

Emmitshurg's contribution to Mary-

land sports, Pershing Mondorff, accounted
for ten of the twelve points scored against
Western Marylan..! in the first night foot-
ball game in the history of the school. It
was Maryland's second and final victory
of the season. The Terrors surprised the
fans by holding off the much too powerful

106

Terps for the first half, but stronger re-
serve strength told in the third period
when the Old Liners scored a safety, a
field goal, a touchdown, and an extra
point.

Leo Mueller broke through on Eddie
Elder as he attempted to punt from the
Western Maryland 20, and threw him for
an eleven-yard loss. The following play,
Elder received a bad pass behind the goal
line and fell on it for a safety. Western
Maryland kicked off and the ball was
brought back on a sustained march to the
Terror 20, from where Mondorff scam-
pered for a touchdown.

A moment later, Mondorff led another
attack at the Western Maryland goal, but
was stalled by a stubborn Terror defense
on their 14. Mondorff's third field goal
attempt of the night was good from the
2 1 , and the score stood at 1 2-0.

Ulman carried on the good work he

started in the Hampden-Sydney game by
intercepting Elder's pass on the Mary-
land 30 and weaving seventy yards for a
touchdown which was not counted be-
cause of a clipping penalty.

was stacked up against the Terps by Vir-

Wharton, who had played bang-up ball
in the Hampden-Sydney and Western

and more experienced Smith.

The Sophomore members of the squui.!

of the game when Virginia lost the ball
on downs on the \Iar\land u- Mearle
Du\all, who had been playing a grand
game of ball all day, faded back to chuck a
two-yard pass to Bernie Ulman on the
Cavalier 35. Mondorff found a hole in the
Virginia line good for eleven yards, and
another DuVall pass found Frank Dwyer's
hands in pay dirt. The conversion was
good and Maryland led 7 o at the half.

The immovable Terp forward wall con-
trolled the Cavaliers throughout the game
and eight minutes before the end of the

Rutgers took full advantage of Joe
Murphy's fumble on the kickoff and

scored three plays later. From this point
they went on to defeat the desperate Terps
25-12 at New Brunswick October 21.

DuVall came in for some more plain
and fancy passing which led to both of the
Old Liners' scores. The beginning of the
second quarter found Maryland in pos-
session of the ball on the Scarlet one-foot
mark. Mearle bounced over for Mary-
land's first blood.

Rutgers, paced by Bill Tranavitch and
Vinnie Utz, scored twice to gain the lead
19-6. DuVall flipped a series of passes to
Ulman to bring the Terps within striking
distance the second time. A razzle-dazzle
triple reverse which resembled more a
game of catch-the-hot-potato than foot-
ball placed the ball on the Scarlet 10.
Mondorff looped a pass to Dwyer in the
end zone and the half ended with Rut-
gers leading 19-12.

The second half was a deadlock until
the last three minutes of the game when
Gottlieb of the Scarlet intercepted a Mary-
land pass on his own 17, and from there
passed to a Rutgers wingman to score.

sophomore struggle in Paint Branch. In-
tense rivalry earlier in the \ear stimulated
interest in this particular tug-of-war, and
from the beginning it promised to be like
no other. It was a losing fight for the
Frosh, as the second-year men pulled
their little brothers in and under, and rat
caps were still the rule when the mud-
slinging had stopped.

A strong wind kept the Maryland pass-
ing attack from getting under way, and a
much superior Gator line kept them
stymied on the ground, Mearle DuVall
was not available for duty, and Murphy
had the signal calling duties to himself
the entire afternoon. His speed was the
usual threat until he tired in the last part
of the fray, but his kicking was still great.

Bud Walton, little .Andy Beno, and
Hubie Houston carried the fight to the
Terps the entire si.xty minutes. Walton
was almost a lone figure in the first Flor-
ida touchdown a few minutes before the
end of the first half, as he brought the
ball a major portion of the 3b-yard drive
to the goal.

The second half saw a punting duel be-

Joe's kicks traveled eighty-two yards from
the Maryland end zone for the best single
performance of the day.

EarK in the last quarter, the Old Liners
made their single hid for a touchdown
when thc\- got the ball on the Cjator 36,
but the Florida line held like a brick wall
and the Terps lost the ball on downs.

Spirit faded from the Terps with this
effort and Florida took over for a fifty-

last touchdown.

Lawrence, all of whom hail from the Key-

afternoon when Coach Dobson took the
Maryland team to State College Novem-

Albarano, captain of the Terp forces,
led the defensive sixty minutes, and kept
the goal line intact for three of the quar-
ters. The Penn State power got under
way twice in the wind-up of the third
quarter, pushed over two tallies within a
few minutes, and then retired to dog-
fight for the balance of the game.

It was an inspired team that kept the
Lions at bay those forty-five minutes.
Murphy and Boyda led the offensive with
plunges by the latter which shook the
formidable Penn State line, and passes by
Murphy which were a constant threat.
Ulman came in for some more glory in his
stellar defense play and his short-lived
passing exhibition.

Most of the Lions' gains were on the
ground as the Terps pass defense had
tightened up after the Virginia and Flor-
ida lessons. Their two scores resulted

the only Terp scoring opportunity of the
game was gone.

Joe Murphy came into his own again in
this contest as his superb punting pulled
the Terps out of a hole on several oc-
casions. One of his punts travelled si.xty-
five yards in the air, and on the kickoff
beginning the second half, he ran the
ball back sixty-two yards to the Hoya 33.

Georgetown was on the offensive a
great portion of the game, forcing the Old
Liners to kick from deep in their own
territory whenever they were fortunate
enough to handle the hall. Georgetown
scored in the second, third and fourth
quarters and converted successfully twice
to end the game 20-0.

Unfortunately, the pre-game rally and
all-night drum beating, though enjoyable
while they lasted, meant naught on the
final result.

Boyda's Performance Features
14-0 Defeat by V.M.I, at Norfolk

A majority of the frenzied mob of
15,000 spectators who crowded Foreman
Field, down in Norfolk, November 18,
will not remember the score nearly as long
as they will remember Johnny Boyda's
exhibition of power and stamina.

It was Boy da all the way, from the
opening whistle to the gun. Each time he
carried the ball the crowd was on its feet.
His solo performances accounted for a
very large part of the Terp yardage, and
in one drive in the third period, with the
Terps trailing 7-0, he accounted for 40
yards of a Maryland bz-yard march from
their own 18 to V.M.I.'s 20. It was his
linebucking and plunging that accounted
for every first down on this march.

When Coach Shipley called out all
candidates for the basketball squad there
were two familiar faces missing — two
faces that mentor Shipley would have
liked very much to see on the court.
"Dutch"" Knepley and Eddie Johnson,

both All-Southern Conference basketeers,
had departed \'ia the graduation route.
.Answering the initial roll call were vet-
erans George DeWitt, Pershing Mondorff,
Adam Bengoechea, Gene Ochsenrciter and
Bill Rea. Supplementing these \ets were

Plus the first two elements of experienced
men and frosh there was still a third
group; Terps who had starred in sports
other than the court game. Mickey
Mulitz reported fresh from All-American
honors on the lacrosse field; Charlie
Weidinger, after three years" work on the
gridiron, donned basketball shorts; and
Eddie Miller, stellar high jumper, shifted
the scenes of his activities.

After conditioning his veterans, and
changing the Terplets into Terps, Coach
Shipley had his court aggregation ready.
Opening against Western Maryland, the
Terps breezed in by the comfortable mar-
gin of 48-32, and Randolph-Macon was
taken into camp with little effort.

Following a short Christmas holiday,
Clemson was met and defeated in Balti-
more. Charlie Weidinger was high point

scorer for the third time in three games.
The Old Liners opened a three-day north-
ern jaunt by dropping a close contest to
the University of Pennsylvania. The next
night the Black and Gold cagers resumed
their winning ways by dropping Rutgers

Four days later the courtmen left on
their final journey, traveling to Lexing-

Washington and Lee but defeating V.M.L
by a 60 to 33 margin. Back at College
Park again the weather prevented the
Washington College game from coming
into being, thereby giving the basketeers
a much needed rest. Catholic University
and V.M.I. fell before the Liner sharp-
shooters, the latter game qualifying the
Terps for the annual Conference in
Raleigh. In the last contest before the
playoff, George Washington took the
measure of the Black and Gold.

Drawing Washington and Lee, who had
twice defeated them, the Marylanders

were not conceded much of a chance to
advance in the tournament. Fighting an
uphill battle all the way the Liners, how-
ever, came through to a 43-30 victory,
mainly due to the efforts of DeWitt on the
offense and Mulitz on the defense. Mov-
ing into the semi-final bracket, the Terps
were outclassed by a powerful Duke five
to end their season.

l\ STREAMLINED parade of extra-cur-
ricular activities directed by Ralph Wil-
liams featured the non-athletic part of the
seventh annual All-University Night.

Sandwiched between the basketball
game with Catholic University and the
boxing matches w ith Western Maryland
College, the parade depicted the tnany ex-
tra-curricular acti\ities of the Uni\crsity.
It included performances by the band, the
combined chorus, the men's and women's
physical education departments, an^l Per-
shing Rifles.

spersed with satirical antics of four clowns
who all but stole the show; Pershing Rifles

team which gave more than a creditable
showing in all of its competitions. Step-

to all his opponents, showed class that
with more experience and added weight
should put him at the top of the heap by
next year. Conceded to be the hardest
hitter of the team, Bob Bradley con-
sistently came through with clean-cut
victories. An old cut that opened up
above his eye was all that could trouble
the Maryland "Golden Boy."

Against Catholic University at their
gym the old rivalry continued, and when
the smoke had settled the Brooklanders
had eked out a 4 W-3>2 win.

The favored Cavaliers of Virginia,
boasting a winning streak, were held to a
stalemate when in the final bout Izzy
Leites moved up a notch to clearly out-
punch and outbox big Ed Burgess. Leites,
a senior fighting for the first year, was, in

Coach Miller's opinion, the most im-
proved boxer on the squad. In the Vir-
ginia fight Bradley showed his old form by
hammering a T.K.O. over Bob Schenk-
len. Nate Askin's win over Pete Coy was
another on the string of undefeated dual
matches in two years. Newt Cox dropped
his first fight when a close decision was
awarded to the other corner.

Baseball

/\tii;R many Jays of glooniN' weather
anJ rain the Old Liner baseball squad
finally had its first outdoor workout just
three days before the month of April
rolled around. Head Coach Burton Ship-
ley had a large squad of recruits trying
out for the positions that were left open
by lads like Johnson and Chumbris, who
had graduated.

With infield trcjublcs galore, mentor
Shipley began building a new infield com-
bination, having Adam Bengoechea as the
foundation. .Adam with two years' Varsity
play under his belt (illed in the gap at
second like a charm. Jake Rui^ly and
Newt Cox staged a battle for the initial
sack post but they were both good ma-
terial and Coach Shipley alternated the
lads in every game. Dick McHale loomed
as the hot spot man and filled in the port-
side corner like a veteran.

Big Leib McDonald and Pop Wharton
hooked up in a Juc\ for the short-stopping
job. However, during the season, each
saw plenty of action. The pitching prob-
lem was a beauty with Earl Springer,
Persh Mondorff, the Woodwards, and
Dick Hunt trying for the top positions.

Springer worked like a big leaguer in the
past season and seemed certain to go up
to the big show. Persh was the topnotcher
when it came to the right banders.

In the outfield the situation proved to
be even better. Hugh Keller, the brother
of the famed Charlie, roared into the sea-
son with a banner year. In the first five
games the Middletown slugger batted
out fifteen hits in just twenty-five trips to
the plate for a .523 average. Tiny Adam
Bengoechea pressed the mighty Keller
with seven for fifteen for a mighty .466
figure. Bert Culver guarded the middle
section of the vast outer garden and was
one of the finest looking fielders in the
conference. Culver is improved greatly
over last year and began hitting the "old
apple" when the season rolled around.
Fritz Maisel was tops in the starboard
spot. Maisel's hitting improved and, with
the aid of Bill England, right field wor-
ries were nil.

After a week lay-off the Terps opened
in their own baek>ard against the \'er-
mont nine. The New Englanders were no
match for the Liners who blasted for fif-
teen hits and si.xteen runs.

In the ne.xt battle the Pittsburgh Pan-
thers were shut out 14 o. Lefty Vannais
toiled the mound for the Liners and didn't
give a hit until the fifth inning. .Adam
Bengoechea ser\ed up a homer with the
bases packed in a thrilling second inning
that saw the Liners get nine runs on six
hits.

Bad weather again interfered and the
Vlichigan and Richmond games were
rained out. With a tough twent\-five
game schedule ahead the Liners had a big
problem to get an e\en break. The first
few battles showed the defects and Coach

Turk Burns, a seasoned veteran, donned
the pad and mask for the second
straight year. Burns with a good arm and
a fine worker with the pitchers will be re-
membered as one of the Terrapins' better
catchers. Mearle Du\ all, a sophomore,
was a dependable second choice although
out part of the season with a bad (inger.

Shipley began rebuilding and repairing
the infield. Billy Evans was gi\en a
chance to prove his skill at short but
failed in favor of McDonald. Wharton
came in after spring football practice and
began showing promise. McHale was
tops at third and stayed in that slot until
the last game.

After an exhibition tilt with the Balti-
more Orioles the Terps prepared for the
coming games including the Hoya-Liner
affair. With Earl Springer and Persh

Mondorff on tap the Liners were set to
repeat last year's showing when Lefty
Springer turned the Hoya crew back 4-0
in the local pitch, allowing the Washing-
ton lads but two hits. 1 n the other ancient
ri\alry the Terps last year outlasted the
Georgetown nine to win 8-4, but the
Hoyas had a better outlook this season
and all indications pointed to a real
punch for punch tussle to redeem the 20-0
gridiron defeat suffered by the Terps in
the fall.

131

With all of last year's National Inter-
collegiate championship lacrosse team
back except Jim Meade and Rip Hewitt,
lost through graduation, the prospects
for a trophy repeat in 1940 were fairly
encouraging.

To fill the gaps in the starting linc-u|^
left by the loss of these two stars. Coach
Faber found ample material from last
year's squad, besides several players from
the freshman team. Outstanding year-
lings sporting the Varsity colors were Al
Siesinger, on attack, Mark Kelly in the
goal, and Bill McGregor in the midfield.
The greatest strength this year la\ in the
trio of close defense men. Leo Mueller
and Micky Mulitz held down regular
berths last year and Bill Graham was a
regular the year before. The first of the
season saw these three men working to-
gether beautifully to do their share in re-
turning the title to the Terps.

Except for Rip Hewitt, the efficient
attack of last year returned intact. Sev-
eral advantageous changes altered the
appearance of the spearhead of the team.
Lively Billy Bond played in-home. Billy
was not a regular last year, but played
much of each game, and as a senior this
year earned his position on the starting
line-up. The only familiar face on the
close attack was Oscar Nevares. Playing
the same brilliant game that won him
recognition last year, Oscar gave some
fine performances before he turned in his
uniform for the last time at the end of the
season. The only sophomore playing
regularly, Al Slesinger, performed a brand
of stick handling that promises great
things in the next two years.

Some shifting around was necessary
to accommodate Slesinger on the close
attack. Jordan " "Smiley" Sexton had been
playing the crease and doing a fine job.
His speed and stick handling were valu-
able in any position, so Coach Faber
shifted him to midfteld to fill the shoes

left vacant by .A.ll-American Jim Meade.
The others in the midfield were vet-
erans Jack Mueller and Billy Cole. Jack
played close defense last year, but he
shifted to midfield to make room for Bill
Graham. His experience gained in the
previous season stood him in good stead
and he did well in his new position. Sev-
eral times he ran the length of the field to
score unassisted. The center position,
possibly the toughest spot on the team,

falls to squat BilK' Cole, who leads the
team in aggressiveness.

The greatest problem confronting the
coaching staff was the selection of a goalie,
Jack Grier played the goal last year and
returned for his last season. Competing
with jack for the position was sophomore
Mark Kelly. Kell\- played close attack
on the freshman club last year, but was
an outstanding goalie in his prep-school
days. I le is better under pressure than
the \eteran Cirier, but is not so adept at
clearing out. In the first four games each
played part of the time, and that ap-
peared to be a workable solution to the
net problem.

With only twcj regulars missing, the
men who came up fn^n last season yearling
crop did not get much of a show ing. The
freshmen were undefeated last year, but
onl\ .\I Slesinger. who led the attack, got
a regular berth on the Varsity. In the
midfield c^nK Rill McCiregor qualified for
a uniform. 1 le played every game and
turned in a credible performance each
time. Bart Hewitt played midfield on the

freshman team, but subbed at close at-
tack as a sophomore this year. .Another
sophomore who ran in "show" position
all year was Carl Bacharach. fighting
with Grier and Kelly for a place in the
goal. He lacked the polish of the faxorites,
however, and so did all of his work in the
practice sessions.

Meeting the Mount Washington stick-
men for the opening game of the 1940
season, the Terrapins took an 8-3 lacing
from the Baltimore clubmen as they ex-
acted revenge for last > ear's i i 1 dis-

Dartmouth was the lead-off team in a
series of three games played in six days as
they met the Fabermen at College Park
April I. The Indian raid was ineffectual,
the Terps having little trouble in turning
back the Dartmouth ten. Al Slesinger led
his team with four tallies in his first var-
sity game against college competition. At
no time was the Indian team in the same
league with the Marylanders, and the Old
Line defense did not get a chance for a
workout.

" Three days later Maryland overran
the Harvard team i i-i. Harvard scored
first and the fans thought perhaps a la-
crosse miracle was in the making before
their very eyes, but the Terps soon
swamped them with tally after tally.

Everybody on the team got a good
workout on the sixth when the Terrapins

ran roughshod over a hopelessly out-
classed Loyola ten from Baltimore. Start-
ing their attack early, the Terps downed
the visiting team ib-4.

Next year there will be several new
faces on the starting team. Cole, Bond,
Nevares, Leo Mueller, Graham, Mulit",
Grier, alternates Heil, Garrett, and Law-
rence are graduating, leaving their po-
sitions to juniors and members of the
present freshman team. Several of the
yearlings will be welcome on the Varsity
next year. Milt Vandenberg and Ray
Grelecki are great attack men and Bruce
Campbell was an All-Maryland center in
high school. John Rabai is the only ex-
perienced defense man on the team, but
several beginners are developing rapidly
and will be needed to refill the gradua-
tion-riddled defense.

JVIar'iland's iq40 track team first felt
the cinders on Ritchie Stadium on March
9, a week before Easter, as Coach Cjeary
Eppley brought out all returning varsity
men from last year's strong squad.

Those whose spike marks were not to
be found in the track were Joe Peaslee,
ace distance runner: Eddie Miller, South-
ern Conference high-jump champ; and
Hermie Evans, also a conference cham-
pion in the hurelles.

(^n the track Maryland had nothing to
worry about, for the Liners had one of the
best running teams in the countr\-. The
sprints were handled b\- veterans L^ick
Barnes and Alan Miller, with sophomores
Jack Warfield and Elmer Rigb\ doing
their share. In the middle distances

In the mile and two-mile grinds the
Terps were well fortified with a mixture
of old and new men. Mason Chronister
and Bob Condon led the milers, while
Tommy Fields in the two-mile race was
the outstanding man. Sophomores Dick
Sullivan and Randall Cronin alternated
between the mile and two-mile, faring
with above the average success. The bur-
den of the hurdles fell on Bob Porter,
Boyd Taliaferro, and Wylie Hopkins.

Coach Eppley experienced his greatest
trouble, for in the Greek events the Liners
were weak, but with mainstays Charley
Morris, Ralph Albarano, and Gordon
Kluge, a winning combination was built.

The neophytes for field events were
coached by some former varsity man who
excelled in that line. Pete Pfeiffer held
class in the strength events, while Frank
Cronin developed Bill Holbrook as pole
vaulter. Frank Tilley, Boyd Taliaferro,
and Frank Morris took over the broad
jump and brought in their share of points.

On Saturday, March 30. four Terrapin
aces, Tommy Fields, Jim Kehoe, Mason

mile relay, the two-mile relay, and the
one-mile team race at Gainesville, Florida.
The Terps not only won but they set new
meet records in the relays.

packed their bags for E^lacksburg, where

land broke the tape as w inncrs nine times

to send the thin-clads of Virginia Tech

Maryland's runners were far too strong
for the Techmen as they amassed point
after point on the cinders, and erased two
stadium records from the books. Jim
Kehoe continued his winning ways by

with the aim of greeting and entertaining
their guests.

Various attempts were made to organ-
ize Latch Key on the Maryland campus
in the past two decades, but somehow the
enthusiasm which accompanied these ef-
forts soon waned. However, the enlarge-
ment of the athletic program brought
home to the managers of the various
teams the need for another effort toward
organization for entertainment of their
visitors. The modern Latch Key Society,
a fraternity of varsity and junior man-
agers, was initiated by Perry Hay, foot-
ball manager in 1938.

Since that time, Latch Key has grown
to include thirty-nine managers and
junior managers of ten sports; those of
rifle, wrestling, and soccer were admitted
last year. Jordan Sexton, junior manager
of basketball, presided, with Bill Brendle,
track, vice-president, and Stan Levy,
junior manager of football, secretary-
treasurer.

Haverford team.

The only black mark on the team's
record was the result of the first match in
foreign territory, when Rutgers spoiled
the Liners' trip by defeating them 2b-8.

In spite of gloomy predictions, the
Terps came back from their Southern
jaunt with the record of wins extended to
six. Duke fell 21-1 1 to the cautious Terps,
and in the second meet the Old Liners
squeezed through with a ib-14 win over
Davidson.

The last match of the season against a
strong Lafayette team was another bitter
affair that ended in victory for the Terps.

Luminaries of the team were Paul
McNeil and "Buzz" Councill. McNeil,
who was undefeated this year, has won
thirty-three straight matches. Losing but
one of his bouts, Councill gave fine per-
formances in all his matches. With all
men back and the experience gained from
this year's contests the team expects to
better their already fine record next year.

The individual sports crowded the
events calendar. Table tennis, badmin-

darts, deck tennis, and riding — each had
its day. Tournaments in each sport cre-
ated interest among the coeds. This year
credit was given for riding, as well as golf,
archery, and tennis. Those girls interested
in golf were fortunate in having Mr. Al
Houghton, professional golfer from Beaver
Dam Country Club, as special instructor.

The little-mentioned coed fencing team
gave a noteworthy exhibition this year.
The members were handicapped by the
difficulty of securing the Field House for
practice. An invitation to join the ex-

Trom T///8 ^iroup of ITlanjland IBeauties

In the early days of June, 1939, when the editors of the 1940 Terrapin
first met to place this volume into embryo, a unanimous desire to pre-
sent a beauty section more effective than ever before was voiced by
the staff. Without question a campus-wide poll plan was decided
upon, and hence the task of nominating thirteen coeds to vie for
the title of Miss Maryland was delegated to the entire student body.
Then arose the problem of capturing the fullest beauty and char-
acter of the choices. In their quest for a solution the Terrapin editors
sought counsel of their technical advisers. As with one voice the reply
came: "Josef Schiff can best portray and select your beauty queen."

153

Josuj Sclujj, ruinous l^orlniU l^liolocfniphtT, chose

W'nEN Josef Schiff, with his two able assistants, arrived and set-
tled to his task with the quiet assurance that typifies the work of the
great artist, any misgivings that observers may have entertained were
quickly and thoroughly dispelled. For Mr, Schiff, employing the
technique that has won for him photographic laurels both in America
and abroad, passed an entire evening interviewing, testing lighting
effects, suggesting coiffure, make-up, and costume for each of the
thirteen contestants. Of this number, on the basis of personality and
personal beauty, six were selected for individual portraiture, and one
now reigns as Miss Maryland. Mr. Josef Schiff and the 1940 Terrapin
therefore take pleasure in presenting on these pages Miss Maryland
for 1940 and her court of honor.

. . . And Speaking of Features . . .

JTrom its very simplicity of design and
precision of execution does the symbolic
interpretation of Maryland's progress
which embellishes the cover and certain
pages of this volume derive its effective-
ness. Indeed, few artists might so com-
pletely have captured the abstract quali-
ties of such a subject as did Mr. Dale
Nichols, who is recognized today as one
of the foremost of America's design
artists, painters, and illustrators. At
regular intervals he has contributed illus-
trations and cover designs for such stellar
publications as The Commerce Magazine.
Better Homes and Gardens, and The
Phoenix Flame, and his paintings have
been utilized in the acK'ertisements of
such nationally-known products as Bauer
and Black medical supplies and Certain-
Teed structural materials. Likewise, Mr.
Nichols is noted as a lecturer and writer,
his present position as professor of art at
the University of Illinois and his many
published articles attesting to both facts.

Hence, it is with no small measure of
pride that the 1940 Terrapin presents as
its keynote the ably-derived concept of
progress by Mr. Dale Nichols.

The illustrations of the new buildings in
the view section of this book represent a
relatively recent development in the field
of illustration. So impressed with its
effect were the editors of the Terrapin
that they immediately sought someone
capable of reproducing like sketches on
the pages of their 1940 effort. Happily
enough they found need to look no further
than to their faculty adviser, Mr. O.
Raymond Carrington, assistant profes-
sor and illustrator assigned to the E.xten-
sion Service of the University. Mr. Car-
rington spent many hours artistically
interpreting the actual details of the
buildings. To him the Terrapin is in-
debted for its presentation of the physical
advancement of the campus.

q^KED, SOME PLATED,

With a new-found dignity and a burning ambition to
succeed to the Senior's high offices in the ensuing
year, the Junior plunged into his third year at Mary-
land. Publications offered fertile fields for would-be
editors, and the many campus clubs lent themselves
readily to cultivation by Junior hopefuls. But honors
as well as duties sought out the third-year under-
graduate as campus honor societies started tapping
ceremonies. And, of course, any Junior classman
substantiated without hesitation his officers' claims
that no social affair compared in brilliance to the
Junior Promenade.

Jlvecent Terrapins ha\e become a far cry from the
Re\'eilles and Terra Mariaes of the lJni\'ersit>- of Mary-

cent editors has brought forth new features and expan-

and character of the books, howexer, have remained
similar for a number of years.

Following in the footsteps of these previous editors,
the creators of the 1040 Terr.\pin added several nev\-
features, notably the outstanding alumni pages, the
use of pictures printc^l in colored ink, and the symbol
of progress on the co\er created by Dale Nichols. Okl
features, such as the heauty, \iew, an^l the fraternity
sections were completely revised.

Greater, however, than any of the changes or addi-
tions was the revision of the contents of the book into
four sections, representing the four classes. Previously,
the book has been di\ided in sections, each independentof
the other. The reorganization of the 1Q40 Terr.\pin was
made with the belief that the continuit\ to i^c attained
by logical arrangement and running copy would increase
the readability and interest of the hook to a new lc\cl.

The editors of the IQ40 Terr.apin sincerely hope that
they have achieved the desired ends and pro^luccd a
book exemplary of the i^rogress of the L'ni\ ersit\-.

Amid newsprint and ink, scathing editorials and
meaty news, these people strove to meet dead'
lines for the semi-weekly appearance of . . .

The Diamondhac\

Allan C. FibHLR
Editor

JVLaryland's semi-weekly strengthened its reputa-
tion as one of the outstanding collegiate papers in this
section of the country b\- a year of change and activity.
Starting w ith the second issue in September, an entire
new line of t\'pe was added, and the paper underwent a
thorough streamlining. Caslon hold condensed replaced
outmoded Gothic and Cheltenham type, which had
been used for over a decade. Greater emphasis was
placed on pictorial coverage of the news.

In the editorial field the semi-weekly waged se\eral
successful campaigns. .'\s outgrowths of editorial action
an examination schedule for hour quizzes was instituted
in the .Arts and Sciences college, rules go\erning exami-
nation irregularities were tightenc^l. Dining Hall con-
ditions were improved, ani.1 the lnterfraternit>' Council
adopted a deferred rushing s>stem. An editorial criti-
cizing radical elements in the .American "^Outh Congress
attracted national publicits .

Notable also was the successful cooixration between
the Stu^lcnt GoNernment Association and its official
newsorgan on a number of projects throughout the year.

Following the policy of |"ire\ ious \ ears, staff members
carried on their traditional friendly feui.! with the Old
Line and inaugurated one with the Terrapin while still
finding time to equal both ri\al publications in progress.

The Old Line

Betty D. St. Clair
Editor

iiiE Old Line started the season by publishing no
statement of policy. These limitations set down in the
first issue were closely followed, in fact, the most inner
circle of the staff hadn't the slightest idea from one issue
to the next whether the number coming up would be
straight scissors from her worth\' contemporaries on
other campi, or a sudden dart into the realm of unfor-
gettable literature to comply with the agitation of a
more serious element on the campus. The more serious
element stopped reading beyond the tabic of contents
about the month of November, and Ihe Old Line fell
into a year of harmless fol dc rol that ga\X' no one the
slightest offense or the slightest material for silent
meditation.

The editor came in now and then to see that no one
was throwing lighted cigarette butts on the floor and to
try to keep Kerwin models on the straight and narrow.
One day she and Shipe were both in the office ut once,
but as soon as the Terrapin picture was taken the
happy combine was broken up.

The hardest job of the year was keeping bright I \ luitn-
orous in spite of the neighbors in the east. But \ irtuc
will out, and soon even the Diamond back succumbed to
the rosy contagion.

ivicspoNsiBiLi rv for the success of student publica-
tions falls primarily on the shoulders of O. R. Carring-
ton, adviser for the Terrapin, and Carlisle Humelsine,
ad\'iser for the Old Line and Diamondback. Fhe ser\-ices
of these two men in planning, soK ing |">roblems. and
offering general acKice, pro\ed in\aluahle during the
past year.

Assisting the advisers are other members of the Pub-
lications Board; Ralph I. Williams, chairman; Dr.
Susan B. Harman, of the English Department; the
president of the Student Government .A.ssociation, the
heads of the Men's and Women's Leagues, and the edi-
tors of the various publications. The hoard acts as a
counselor and renders assistance, not in the light of a
censor but as a mediator to present friction between
the campus writers and the administration.

a means whereby publication members
could gather for informal but nevertheless
valuable discussions of campus journal-

istic problems. The fact that each publi-
cation should manage itself without inter-
ference was recognized. Pi Delta Epsilon
merely sought to solve mutual problems
cooperatively. The interest displayed by
honorary and faculty members furthered
the fraternity's leading objective — the
fostering of good collegiate journalism.

Riders Found Year-Round Fun
With Maryland's Riding Club

Om: i>r Maryland's most widely heralded or-
ganizations, the Riding Club, was made up of a
sizable group of fine horsemen and provided
man\- hours of wholesome fun in the form of
paper chases and morning hunts.

A brisk ride in the early hours, climaxed by
a hearty breakfast at the Sigma Nu house, put
the equestrians in the proper spirit for Home-
coming. Ic\- paths, snow banks, and freezing
weather JIlI not dampen this spirit in the win-
ter months which followed.

Smoldering plans were brought into action
in .April when the members of the club, in
joint sponsorship with the V'annesville Dis-
trict Horse Show Association, conducted a suc-
cessful show here on the campus. Competition
for club members took place in the morning,
the afternoon haxing been given over to the
visiting horsemen. A gold cui^i went to first
place winner in each class as well as the cus-
tomary blue ribbon. In all there were thirty
events, including the selection of a champion
from the Morgan horses entered by owners
from this section of the countr\-.

Calvert Debate Club

Intramural and Extramural

The Calvert Debate Club followed a full and
interesting schedule of competitions with other
college and university forensic teams through-
out the East. It was headed by Frank Davis,
with Richard Lee as vice-president ; Elizabeth
Powers as secretary-treasurer ; Charlotte White
as debate manager, and Mr. Milton J. Wiksell
of the Speech Department as adviser.

The men's team, of which Jack Cherry,
Frank Davis, Herman Ehudin, and DeVoe
Meade were members, toured the North,
where they entered debates against Harvard
and CC.N.Y. The women's team, composed
of Kathleen Shanahan and Charlotte White,

Journeyed south to compete with Duke and
Hampden-Sydney.

Between intercollegiate debates, the club
was active locally. Intra-club discussions con-
sidered the national Pi Kappa Delta debate
topic dealing with the question of isolation, a
pertinent subject which is in need of intelligent
and open discussion. Also sponsored was an
intramural tournament, to which each campus
organization was invited to send representa-

which presented a veritable vaudeville show.
The event was complete with an ODK spon-

even to his false white whiskers.

Still in a daze and fatigued from the Junior
Prom, the ancient son of Maryland dragged
himself to the Rossbourg at the end of final
exam week, when Glen Gray and his Casa
Lomas played sweet music two nights in suc-
cession for Terp dance fans.

The student, vintage 1890, again donned
his full dress when Jan Savitt brought his
catchy melodies to the campus just before
Easter.

With a tear in his eye as he indulged in a bit
of reminiscing about his own happy college
days, the "alum" took in the June Week dances,
the first of which was sponsored by the Ross-
bourg Club. At this time, as the charter mem-
ber faded back into the past after enjoying
five dance highlights, he exclaimed lustily,
"The Rossbourgs were never like this back in
1891."

Aleu's Glee Club

Singers Toured Eastern Shore;
Sang at Opening of World's Fair

Ihe Men's Glee Club formally opened the
music season for the University on December
3 at Bethesda, where it sang before a capacity
crowd for the benefit of the Community Chest.
Later the organization participated in All-
University Night, at which time it presented
Fred Waring's arrangement of "The Night is
Young. "

In March, at the invitation of the Maryland
Casualty Club, the Glee Club sang in Balti-
more. March also ushered in the biggest musi-
cal event of the year on the campus when
Emma Otero, internationally-known Cuban
soprano, and Dr. Frank LaForge, accompanist
and voice instructor of world-famous singers,
presented the student body with an evening
of concert music.

Because of a wonderful reception in 1938,
the club decided to return to the Eastern Shore

for its spring tour. Here it scored successful
hits in the leading shore towns of Salisbury,
Cambridge, Denton, and Annapolis. Immedi-
ately following this tour, the Men's Glee Club
of George Washington University, recent win-
ners of the National Intercollegiate Glee Club
Sing, met with the local club in a joint concert.
Highlighting the club's activities of the cur-
rent season was the in\itation to sing in the
Equitable Gardens at the New >'ork World's
Fair. This invitation was secured through the
recommendation of several well-known music
critics, among whom was Fred Waring, na-
tionallv famous orchestra leader.

organization to well over one hundred mem-

purpose and sole aim was to "splash for fun."

Meetings were held twice each month at the
beautiful Venetian Pool of the Shoreham
Hotel. In addition to the usual swim, the
members were given lessons in life saving and
diving by competent officials.

Once again the Gym-Armory was the scene
of the annual club dance. This years affair
was a great success because of the fine enter-
tainment furnished by a local band.

Late in the spring the club introduced a

no\el entertainment in the way of a water
show. As an added attraction, exhibition per-
formances were given by several outstanding
swimmers and divers from nearby Washing-
ton. This affair was such a huge success that
it promises to be an annual one.

Htllel House

Jewish Services Established
on Campus by Rabbi Pilchik

Under the guidance of Rabbi Ely E. Pilchik,
Hillel House, an organization sponsored by the
Hebrew fraternal order B'nai B'rith, made its
appearance this year on the Maryland campus.
A counterpart of a movement established
on thirty other large campi, Hillel's objective

was to supplement the Jewish student's uni-
versity training with the cultural and spiritual
expressions of his people. Toward this end re-
ligious services were conducted on the Sabbath
and Jewish holidays, and classes in Hebrew
and Jewish history were inaugurated.

Rabbi Pilchik was assisted by heads of the
Jewish fraternities and sororities and five un-
affiliated Jewish students.

Daydodgers Club

Grant for Student Center Fund
Secured from S.G.A. by Daydodgers

When the recently combined men's and
women's Daydodgers Club held its first pic-
nic in Rock Creek Park, the new members had
the opportunity to become acquainted with
the officers : Betsy Ross, president ; Lida Sar-
geant, vice-president ; Bessie Arnold, secretary ;
and Paul Edwards, treasurer.

Among the social activities was a dance for
the "members given in the Field House, and
clever decorations admirably carried out the
Christmas theme. Between semesters a wiener
roast was held in Sligo Cabin. In February,
the proverbial leap-year dance was given with
the young ladies showering the gentlemen with
much-welcomed attentions. For the April
meeting Howard Cromwell, social chairman,
planned another picnic, and as its concluding
function, the club gave a formal farewell dance.

Footlight Club

Footlighters Expanded Activity
to Radio; Presented Four Plays

JToR ten successful seasons the Footlight Club
has held to a time-honored standard of praise-
worthy student acting and play production.
Lack of adequate facilities has not killed the
Muse, and this season the club continued as a
\ibrant and active organization.

Under the leadership of L)a\ id Seidel, with
Alan Waite serving as vice-president, Sugar
Langford as secretary, and Cjino \ alcnti as
treasurer, the club found time between re-
hearsals to sponsor lecturers on the art of ap-
plying make-up and design.

The initial production of the season, under
the capable direction of Ralph I. Williams,
was the melodrama Double Door by Elizabeth
McFadden, memorable not only for Mary
Zurhorst's fine performance, but for the dis-
covery of a star in freshman Aria Guild. Mar>-
Zurhorst in her first major role gave dramatic

Bert Coleman, cast as the younger brother,

success.

sophisticated comedy farce by Noel Coward,

gave a convincing characterization of Mar-
garet Fairfield, the wife torn between a sense
of duty to her former husband and love for
another man.

The character acting of Tommy St. Clair in
the part of the elderly and narrow-minded
aunt, Hester Fairfield, was exceptional. Dave
Seidel again proved to campus theatergoers
his dramatic versatilitv bv the skillfulness

with which he stepped into the role of Hilary

Milly Baitz gave to the part of Sydney Fair-
field, a seventeen-year-old girl who mixed
worldliness and intelligence with self-sacrifice,
all the necessary vigor and dash.

Walter Neal came through with another
character portrayal as Dr. Alliot, while Bill
Ingraham in his initial performance forecast
a future name on footlight programs.

Dr. Charles Hale directed only one play this
season, but he had all the local critics raving
once more over his years contribution. Hay

Annual Varsity Show Produced

Its new name — Clef and Key — was not the
only change that the former Opera Club init-

ities increased, the membership expanded, and
the club gained consistently in campus pres-
tige.

In \la\-. members of the club presented the
second annual Varsity Show, "Include Me
Out." Modeled after last year's "Come Walk

with Me," the student-directed production
with a cast of sixty was entirely original in
plot and lyrics. Laurels go to Leonard \ leakin,
production manager and playwright ; to Frank

Stevenson, musical director: and to Worthing-
ton Talcott, assistant prt)ducer.

The three-act musical comcd\' satirized
campus institutions — politics, fraternities, and

was adviser.

The only operatic production of the year
was Gilbert and Sullivan's "Trial by Jury."
A satire on courts of law, the story dealt with
a breach of promise suit. Baritone judge Jake
Powell willingly consented to marry plaintiff
Marian Bond, in order to adjourn the trial.
Sharing the masculine lead with the judge was
the fickle defendant Victor Buhl. Other im-
portant characters were Robert Kinney,
Charles Jones, and Robert BuUard. Ten
bridesmaids and twelve jurors rounded out
the cast. Production was handled by Clef and
Key with the cooperation of the Men's Glee
Club and the Women's Chorus.

With the purpose in mind of furthering mu-
sical activity for campus organizations when-
ever possible, the Clef and Key sponsored the
Glee Club's trip to the New ^'ork World's

JjETWEEN the acts of the Hrst and last pla\s
of the season the curtains were parted by Pres-
ident Judy Greenwood, who proceeded with
the customary tapping for Alpha Psi Omega.
She enumerated the requirements for member-
ship in the honorar\-. It is necessary that a
prospecti\e member shall have taken several
minor parts, or two leading parts combined
with a minor. Underlying the selection is, of
course, the demonstration of outstanding dra-
matic ability.

Alpha Psi Omega contributed toward the
furtherance of campus dramatics. This \ear
the members functioned primarily as a play-
reading committee. They studied and made
reports on a number of plays to the Footlight
Club and thus eliminated the confusion which
had formerly arisen when all footlighters un-
dertook the readings.

The dance which Alpha Psi Omega ga\e to
the Footlight Club was new in the history of
both organizations, but its success made it a
possible tradition.

Other officers of the honorary were : Dave
Seidel, vice-president; and Ir\in Cook, sec-
retary-treasurer.

Convention of German Clubs

JlIeadlining the activities of Der Deutsche

from the clubs of ten eastern colleges and uni-
versities. Carl Blumenstein, former president
of the local group, did honor to his Maryland
associates when he presided as National Presi-
dent of this convention at Goucher College.
In addition to the regular discussions, the
members of Der Deutsche Verein enjoyed fre-

Lucas, president; Louise Gardiner, vice-presi-
dent; Gayle Davis, secretary: and Allan Gold-
man, treasurer: the traditional diplomatic
language was used. Amusement in the form
of movies such as "The Great Illusion,"
speakers, and picnics, increased the interna-
tionalism of these students. At the annual in-

Terrapin Trailers ^'isited Scenic
vSpots in Neighboring States

On with the hiking shoes and off to new roads
of adventure. Thus, the Terrapin Trail Club
began the 1939 40 season hikes, outdoor
roasts, and overnight jaunts.

The trailers sought out the mysteries of
Turkey Run, Devils Den, and the Frederick
City Water Shed. The overnight visit to Pine
Grove Furnace, located in Pennsylvania's
Piney Mountain, was so interesting that the
club made a similar trii'i to bdizabcth lurnace
in \ irginia. Washington's Birthday saw the
University group joincvl b\ the Mountain
Club of Baltimore. Together they went to
Valley Forge, where they climbed the lookout
tower and clambered o\'er historic trenches.

Officers of the club were: John Secrest,
president; Orville Greenwood, vice-president;
(jeorgianna Calver, secretary; and Edward
Rehberger, Jr., treasurer. The trailers were
fortunate in having Dr. and Mrs. Herman
duBuy as their advisers. These two spent many

hours assisting the members with their plans,
and accompanied them on their journeys.

The club members became ci\ic minded
and combined business with pleasure when
they helped the local botanists prepare flora of
the District of Columbia and \icinity. Lest
the foreign exploits of the club give the impres-
sion that its home grounds held no enchant-
ment, the extremely successful Halloween and
\ alentine Day parties must be mentioned.

land's campus in the fall of 1937, not realizing
that collectively they comprised what was to
go down in the history of the University as the
Class of 1 94 1 . After choosing maroon and gray
for its colors, the class administered a healthy
drenching to the sophomores in the annual
struggle at Paint Branch.

Surviving the onslaught of the Greeks and
successfully meeting the demands of the fac-
ulty, the class moved on to its second semester
of academic experience and held a
Freshman Frolic, at which Marylanders
swung out to the tunes of Zel Smith
and his orchestra.

Sophomore year recalls many vivid
memories to the Class of "41. The
group distinguished itself by sending
the new crop of freshmen to a watery
defeat in the tug-of-war. The Sopho-
more Prom was unique because of the
music furnished by Janice Williams and
her all-girl orchestra. The class organ-
ized a committee which worked to se-
cure better facilities for the dayclodgers.

Its members achieved prominence in scholastic
and athletic endeavors and figured conspicu-
ously in campus activities.

With half their college careers behind them,
the '4 1 students advanced a notch and became
full-fledged juniors. For the third time they
chose Frank Davis as their president. Other
officers were: Gino Valenti, vice-president;
Barbara Boose, secretary; Dave Johnson,
treasurer; Elizabeth Powers, historian; Fran-
ces Rosenbusch, women's representative ; Rob-
ert Rice, mens representative.

Smiting leaders jb/t/xi/t' to prom

After weeks of harJ work anJ cautious
preparation, the junior Class presented
the crowning social event of the year — its
annual "Prom" to the Seniors. The affair
was held in the grand ballroom of the
Willard Hotel in Washington with Glen
Gray and his Casa Lomas providing their
danceable tunes.

The promenade was led by Cjene Och-
senreiter with Nancy King, and class

President I'rank Da\is. accompanied by
Libby Powers.

Icaturc of the evening for man\ of the
prom goers was the sparkling music of-
fered by Gray. With such stars as "Sonny"
Dunham, MacGershon, and Johnn\-
Hutchinson. Cjlen proceeded to thrill the
crowd with one w,ell-organi~ed piece after
another. Mr. Ciray s handsome counte-
nance drew the plau^lits of the coeds and
his signature was in constant dcmani.1.
I he musical highlight of the e\'ening was
Dunham's splendid work on the trumpet
in "Memories of ^ ou."

The dance was chaperoned by the fol-
lowing members of the faculty : Colonel
and Mrs. Thomas D. Finley, Doctor and
Mrs. J. E. Faber, Doctor and Mrs. Ronald
Bamford. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Williams,
Doctor and Mrs. Le\in B. Broughton,
and Mr. and Mrs. George F. Pollock.
However, man\ more faculty members
attended the dance and enjoyed it to the
utmost.

Promenade's last lap

Assisting Chairman Ochsenreiter were
the following committee heads: John
Brinckerhoff, dance committee; Judy
Woodring and Douglass Casseil, co-chair-
men of the bid committee; Charles Allen,
promenade committee; Marguerite Hall,
chaperon committee. To these chairmen
and their committees goes credit for an
unforgettable prom. Handsome pendants
bearing the Maryland seal, and colorful
programs were souvenirs of the evening.

With one lingering glance over three
years packed full of experiences, the Ju-
niors turn to meet the coming year when
they will complete the last of their under-
graduate days. '-■

OLLEGE had been a splendid experience, and
you confidently entered the final year with a
ivill to accomplish things. But June and di-
plomas brought uncertainty, and the mental
equipment that you had so long been acquiring
seemed suddenly inadequate to face the future
that now confronted you.

BIG FROG I7i LITTLE PO?iD

Senior Year arrived, a period of transition from the
theory of classes to the practice of the world. By way
of prelude to professional responsibility the Senior
assumed charge of the Student Government Associa-
tion, the Men's and Women's Leagues, and the ROTC
unit. Omicron Delta Kappa and Alortar Board claimed
the most actix'c members of the class, Phi Kappa Phi
the most studious. For all graduates, prominent and
retiring, a glorious June Week wrote finis to college
careers and bade them Godspeed in their quest for a
measure of the success that had come to their ^5-

lnh i\ lens Lcaf^ue, the Women's League,

of the Student Cjovernment Associa-
tion. The combination, however, does
not in\()l\e a loss of the inLlependent

status of each; it is a medium through
which each has an equal Noicc in the solu-
tion of mutual problems.

The office of president carries the great-
est prestige of student elected positions.
As supervisor of all four organizations,
the president is an ex-officio member of
each.

This Near the president of the Student
Cjo\ernment .Association was Thomas
Coleman, an ardent aLKocate of a new
Lleal for students. \ ie succeeded in effect-
ing many programs, long desired b\ the
students. Tom was spokesman at the
S.(i..\. meeting during F-'i-eshman Orien-
tation Week. He introduced the campus
leaders, each of whom in his turn briefly
explained to the freshmen the organiza-
tion which he representeci

One of the first projects introduce!.! was

212

the supervision of freshmen elections. It
inaugurated stump speeches whereby
freshmen were able to gather some idea
of the abilities and qualifications of their
class-officer candidates. The S.G.A. was
prompt in conducting a thorough and fair
investigation of the student bookstore
situation. As a result of this inquiry, the
price of all books was reduced by ten per
cent. After campaigning for a better ex-
amination schedule for an entire semes-
ter, the organization gained its point in
February with the announcement of a
standard examination schedule in the
College of Arts and Sciences.

The Student Government Association
sponsored a "Charlie Keller Day" in
honor of the new king of the big leagues.
Charlie, one of Maryland's most famous

alumni, was honored by a luncheon, a re-
view, and an informal student rally. Then
President Coleman presented him with a
trophy on behalf of the student body.

The Men's and Women s Leagues, with
the sponsorship of the S.G.A. , headed an
investigation of conditions in the Univer-
sity Dining Hall. As a result a new order
was instituted for the students through
the aid of Ralph Williams, assistant dean
of men, and a measure of satisfaction was
achieved by the close of the year.

The S.G.A. determined to bring to
prominence the endemic Student Union
problem. By appropriating more than
fourteen hundred dollars, the Association
instituted a drive to interest the admin-
istration and alumni in furnishing further
funds for the proposed building.

Willi the great increase of resident
students in the past year, the responsi-

hilit\ of maintaining discipline in the new
dormitories and dining hall became an
important one lor the Men's League.
Ho\ve\er. with the cooperation of the
students, the task was well administered.

The "dorm"' students received a real
treat this \ear when the school appro-
priated funds for three recreation rooms
in Calvert Hall w hich were equippc^l with
tile floors, card tables, chairs, lounges,
and radios. A telephone SNStem was also
installed, with a switchboard in the main
office and extensions to all sections and
floors of the various dormitories. The
care and upkeep of these improvements
were charged to the Men's League and its
numerous proctors.

In an effort to promote good will among
the members of the student bod\'. man\'
new policies were instigated. .A. dormitor\-
intramural league was formed, in\iting
competition between the \'arious sections
in football, basketball, and \olleyball.
Dinner-dances were held once a week in
the Women s Meld House, which proved
to be the greatest step the league has c\er
taken toward the promotiim of good fel-
lowship amonu the students.

P.M.S. and T.

The Military Department, under its
new professor of Military Science and
Tactics, Lt. Colonel Thomas D. I"inlc\.
completed another highly successful year,
with an enrollment greater than e\'er
before.

The regiment started operations last
fall at a strength of just under 1,300, of
which t)5 were Senior cadet officers and
81 were Junior sergeants. Casualties suf-
fered in mid-year engagements brought
its number down to about i ,200.

Interest in their work was manifested
by all classes, by "basics" in ranks as well
as by those in command. In line with well
established tradition here, instructors

7 he Colonel at ease

A lesson in tactics

constantly sought to produce results
through cooperation rather than coercion.
Members of the ROTC were impressed
with the idea that they were students of
methods of militar\' training and dis-
cipline.

On the ^Irill (ickl. responsibility lor the
instruction ani.1 drilling of the regiment
was placed upon the shoulders of the
cadet officers. B\ this means they ob-
tained practical experience in leadership
and the exercise of command and so quali-
fied in these important respects for com-
missions as reserve officers. The depart-
ment was fortunate in having among its
advanced students a large number of men
prominent in athletics and other campus
activities. Such men were used to leader-

ship and teamwork, and quickly de-
veloped into capable commanders.

Under their orders, and with the men
in ranks animated by the spirit of playing
the game, the regiment achieved the
standard of a snappy, well drilled organ-
ization. Parades and reviews given for
distinguished visitors throughout the year
brought credit to the unit and University.
The regiment looked forward to the an-
nual War Department inspection and
Military Day, hopeful that the "excel-
lent" rating, earned for many consecutive
years, would again be awarded.

From what he sees, the outsider may
believe that the ROTC is principally con-
cerned with marching about the drill field
and parading to martial music. As a mat-
ter of fact, this is but a minor feature of
the course in military training which, over

a four-year period supplemented by six
weeks in camp, acquaints its graduates
with all the duties of an infantry lieuten-
ant in peace or war. Illustrative of the
value of this training is the fact that two
cadets have been recommended for direct
commission in the Regular Army and
others in the Marine Corps.

The University of Maryland ROTC has
four times received the highest rating in
the corps area, as evidenced by the blue
stars on the sleeve of each cadet. This
honor has been bestowed on the unit as a
result of its fine performance on Military
Day of all types of drill ranging from the
manual of arms to the pitching of tents.

In rifle competition the unit has shown
outstanding prowess, and Colonel Fin-
ley's office is filled with awards won by the
ROTC team in the past several years.

ON CHARLIE KELLER DAY

M A cheer for Charlie

wIaryland's own Charlie Keller, World
Series hero and New York Yankee star,
returned to his Alma Mater on October 19
to receive tribute from the University stu-
dent body. The former Terp star grad-
uated from the University in 1937.

The Charlie Keller Day celebration
began with a luncheon in his honor at
which time old members of the baseball
team who played with Charlie were pres-
ent. Following the luncheon, Keller, Dr.
Byrd, Lt. Colonel Finley, and other
guests reviewed the ROTC regiment.

r UP tents mushrooming on the campus
and soldiers in dungarees marching over
the hill armed with wooden guns and
swords were signs that junior pledges
were being initiated into the national mil-
itary society, Scabbard and Blade.

The Maryland chapter of Scabbard and
Blade, in addition to training the mem-
bers of Pershing Rifles, represented the
national organization at ceremonies con-
ducted at Arlington in October, and pre-
sented the Military Ball in the Gym-
Armory in February. The members were
busy throughout the year formulating
plans for the four-day national conven-
tion to be held on campus in November.

At the first tapping this year, Major
Griswold, Colonel Finley, and Major
Wysor were inducted. Another tapping
was held in the spring.

Scabbard and Blade was headed by
Capt. Thomas Riley. He was assisted
by First Lieut. Merle Preble and Thirst
Sgt. William Souder.

Military Ball

vJn- the eve of George Washington's
Birthday, martial law invaded the Mar>-
land campus as both men and women
students mobilized in the Gym-Armory
for the annual Military Ball. Uniforms
were the order of the day and all swains
were attired either in the khaki which
they wore while trudging over the drill

nasium, appropriately decorated with
American flags, tri-colored banners, and
blue bunting, fairly bristled w ith the plain
and fancy ammunition which stood omi-
nously on the side lines of the dance floor.
The sole unmilitaristic feature of the eve-
ning was the Rolling Kh\thm of jack
Wardlaw and his Orchestra.

Coeds attending, from the Colonel's
Lady to jud\' (VCjrai.ly. recei\xxl com-
pacts as favors styled in the true military
manner. Corsages were ruled out for the
evening, but a beautiful bouquet ol red
roses was presented to the Regimental
Sponsor, Louise Mercer, at the beginning
of the Cirand March. Climax of the ball
came when promcnadcrs. headed by Col.
Merle Preble with Miss Mercer, and Lieut.
Colonel Thomas Coleman with Tillie
Boose, marched under an arch of crossed
sabers held bv the Senior RC^TC officers.

DRILL SPECIALISTS

rloNOR guard of such distinguished visi-
tors as Governor O'Conor, the Pershing
Rifles, since their organization on this
campus in 1935, have been an outstand-
ing group at all important campus func-
tions. Under the captaincy of Thomas
W. Riley and his staff, composed of
Robert Langhead, First Lieutenant, and
John C. Marzolf, Thomas Watson and
John Reckord, Second Lieutenants, the
Pershing Rifles have grown steadily in
number and in activity participation.

Fall initiation exercises held at Fort
Meade were followed by an inspection
tour of the grounds where the initiates
gained an insight of military life. Spring
initiation brought the number of the unit
to ninety men and five officers.

Climaxing a year of extensive drill and
practice, the unit presented its familiar
"Zouave Drill" at All-University Night.
The annual banquet and spring dance
concluded the 1940 season of activity.

JVLortar Board began the year with
the distinction of having the largest mem-
bership in its history on campus. In
March it gained even further recognition
for the Charm School ; coeds gave an en-
thusiastic reception to the two lectures it
sponsored on posture, hair styling, eti-
quette, and charm.

Members assisted the Dean of Women
during Freshmen Orientation Week. Later
they gave a tea to the junior transfer
women and acquainted them with campus
organizations and customs.

Dinner meetings for the year included

one in honor of the advisers given in the
private dining room on campus, and
another at the University Club in Wash-
ington for the Mortar Board sectional
director, Miss Page Drinker. Officers for
the year were : Ann Ames, president ;
Mary Lee Ross, vice-president ; Elizabeth
Harro\'er, secretary; Bertha Langford,
treasurer.

On May Day, concluding the program
in honor of the Queen, the ten members
dressed in caps and gowns, tapped those
junior girls outstanding in service, schol-
arship, and leadership, who were to be the
active Mortar Boarders in their senior
year. Initiation immediately followed the
tapping. Then all members, together with
Dean Stamp and Miss Howard, went to
Mrs. K's Toll House for a concluding
formal banquet.

x\ CRITERION of excellent scholarship
has limited membership in Phi Kappa
Phi, honorary scholastic fraternity, to a
chosen few. Members of the organization
were selected twice during the school year.
In the fall the top-ranking senior of each
college was tapped, and in June seniors
who stood in the upper eighth of the grad-
uating class were made members.

Encouraging fine scholarship and aid-
ing in the development of character are
the basic ideals of the fraternity. To fos-
ter those aims and to stimulate further
achievement in graduate work, several
fellowships have been offered each year to
deserving Phi Kappa Phis. \n this man-
ner the traditions of the fraternity have
been perpetuated.

Through the bonds of membership the
alumni have continued their associations
with the University and have contributed
encouragement and interest to the achiev-
ments of the active college group.

XiME, tide, and graduation wait for no
man. Yesterday six hundred timid high
school graduates arrived at College Park
to acquire training that was to last them
a lifetime. Today they leave this impor-
tant chapter in their li\cs to return to a
world apart from cokes, bull sessions,
pledge pins, and Rossbourgs.

In the fall of thirty-six, Bob Lodge
of Baltimore captained the tribe of
eager rats and mice. Theirs was the
spirit of the oLI guard — nights of
praying for rain, days of cow-towing
to sophomores, an(.l then the last
glorious showdown on the water
tower. When the battle-scarred old
landmark was dismantled that year,
it was the big gold '40 that went
down with it.

A year passed and Carl Goller in-
herited the presidency of the Sopho-
more Class. New LTeshmen dragge^l

The Seniors

the second yearlings through the mud on
struggle day, but they came through w ith
newly acquired dignity. Classes were no
longer a grim duty but began to take on a
certain amount of interest.

Next year, as upperclassmen. Tom
Coleman was elected president. The old
Rossbourg Inn was restored to its former
colonial dignity, and e\'ery week brought
plans for new buildings on campus. George
Lawrence led the Prom to the music of
Eddie Duchin. Mortar Board tapped ten
girls, more than ever before in the history
of the chapter.

And so they came to their swan song.
Bill Brown took over the reins for the last
year. New buildings sprang up o\-ernight
on every available spot on the hill .\bout
March that aw ful lump-in-the-throat sen-
sation began to crop up as the last page
was turned.

And then — -it was June Week and the
colorful chapter entitled Maryland was
ended.

THAT BIG JUNE WEEK

J UNE Week burst upon the Senior — seven days of joyous activity. With it rode the last
vestige of collegiate days, an embodiment of class spirit, a recollection of happy social life,
a realization of greater attainment. Thus fortified, the graduate accepted his diploma and
strode forth from the protective portals of his Alma Mater.

The Program

June Week with its series of picnics,
banquets, and dances was held this year
— contrary to its name — in the last week
of May. Although it was last, it was in no
way less wonderful than the other activi-
ties on the University's social calendar.
The Seniors mingled their final taste of
"campus capers" with a hit of sadness;
the undergraduates enjoyed to the high-
est degree the last formal functions before
their long summer vacation.

Coming at the end of finals with all of
the cramming, dateless nights, and wor-
ries which accompany them, the activi-
ties were supported with a spirit even
more gay and enthusiastic than usual.

Climaxing this period of gaiety came
the solemn and memorable commence-
ment exercises with the long desired di-
plomas, symbols of all that college has
meant to the graduates.

. . . And on to Greater Heights

Into a realm of practical endeavor each year steps a new senior class, some few of its num-
ber destined to rise to heights of greatness and to bring honor to their University. This
section is dedicated to six of Maryland's sons who have so distinguished themselves.

IH GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITT

GOVERNOR HERBERT R. O'CONOR

i lit-: Class of igio of the Uni\crsit\ Law School claims
as its most illustrious member the first citizen of Mary-
land, Cjoxernor Herbert R. O'Conor, Admitted to the
bar in iqic), before his graduation, Governor (^"Conor
progressed successively through the offices of State's At-
torney, People's Counsel to the Public Service Commis-
sion, and Attorney General of the State, He rose to his
present high position in 1938.

SENATOR MILLARD TYDINGS

VERSATILITY is a fortc of Millard Tydings, three times
United States Senator from the State of Maryland, for his
political career is rather well removed from his under-
graduate Engineering days and from the journalistic ten-
dencies he displayed as editor of the first campus news-
paper, the igio Triangle. By way of further <.livergence,
he was recipient of an honorarv degree of LL 1). Irom his
Alma Mater in 1937,

m THE FIELD OF EDUCATIOK

DR. HARRY CLIFTON BYRD

Dr. 1 l.\RRY Clifton Byrd, [progressive president of the
Universit\-, has been one of the most outstanding alumni
of the institution. .\ member of the Class of 1908, College
of Engineering, "CurK" made his mark as a student ath-
lete and then won laurels as a minor league baseball
|■^la\er. successful track ani.1 football coach, and Director
of .Athletics at Maryland. I'rom these positions he rose to
assistant to the president, vice-president, and finally
presi^lcnt in 19^-
2o2

. . . m THE SPORTS WORLD

CHARLES KELLER

OoLLEGiATE diamond or major league baseball park ap-
pear alike to "Our Boy Charlie" Keller, star of the 1939
World Series in his first year with the New ^'ork 'Yankees.
More cherished for Marylanders, however, are memories
of his feats as mainstay of the Old Line baseball team and
as all-state basketball star of 1937. Charlie received his
diploma from the College of Agriculture in 1938.

IH LITERARY ETsiDEAVOR

MLNRO LEAF

jNot so long ago on the University campus dwelt Munro
Leaf, a young man destined to capture the fancy of the
nation with his whimsical tales of Ferdinand the Bull,
Noodle, Manners Can Be Fun. and the Watching Bird.
Graduates of 1927 remember him as treasurer of their
class, an ROTC captain, and a member of the lacrosse
team. Kappa Alpha claims him as a brother.

. . . m BUSmESS AFFAIRS

EDMUND C. MAYO

It is a far cry from the days of football player "Pug"
Mayo, Engineering student of the Class of 1904, to the
title of President Edmund C. Mayo of the Gorham Silver
Company ; yet such is the story of his achievement. Tan-
gible evidence of Mr. Mayo's continued respect for Mary-
land tradition lies in his company's bronze cast of the
Terrapin which guards the Coliseum.

Appreciation

Lo the 1940 Terrapin staff, possessor of fessional associates for technical ad\ice or

onK' a limited knowledge of the vagaries of experienced criticism of their undertakings,

publication work, the road from preliminary The realization that a patient, capable reply

planning to ultimate completion of its effort would be forthcoming remained always as a

stretched out long and rocky. I"requently, comforting thought. In appreciation of their
