n
EDICATED to Judge William P.
Cole, Jr., student, athlete, lawyer, and
untiring friend of the students of the
University of Maryland and of the
people of this state, who was this year
elected as Chairman of the Board of
Regents.
In 1910, "Bill" Cole was graduated
from the University of Maryland and
received his degree in engineering. As a
student, his activities included baseball,
in which he won his letter in 1909;
manager of the nine in 1910; secretary
of the athletic council; lieutenant in
the military unit; secretary-treasurer of
the Rossborough Club; business man-
ager of both the May and June ball
organizations; member of Conference
Committee; humorous editor of The Re-
veille, as the yearbook was then called;
and, senior orator.
After he had received his engineering
degree, the young William Cole took a
degree in the Law School in Baltimore.
Having a fine education and a splendid
legacy of public service left by his
father, William P. Cole, Sr., he began
to practice law in his home town, Tow-
son. A few years later, he was elected
by a large majority as a member of
Congress from the Second District. He
served as a member of Congress over
a long period until he resigned two
years ago to become Judge of the
United States Customs Court, with
headquarters at New York City, in
which capacity he still serves the
nation.
During the first World War, Judge
Cole served as a captain and fought
through Belgium and France. His son,
Billy, who was graduated from the Uni-
versity of Maryland just as World War
II broke out, was killed in action as the
United States Army was entering Ger-
many.
Judge Cole is serving his second term
of nine years as a member of the Board
of Regents of the University. With the
help of a man who attended the Uni-
versity and has known it well, we are
assured a school that we may be proud
of, a school that has grown from the
small agricultural college of 1850 to the
great university it is today and will be
in the future.

The many contributions that Dr. Harry Clifton Byrd
has made to the development of the University of
Maryland in his ten years of service as President would
be difficult to enumerate. Under his capable and in-
spiring leadership, the University withstood the many
problems which arose during the past war and is looking
forward to an even greater future in a peaceful world.

The College of Agriculture offers both gen-
eral and specialized training to students who
wish to prepare for professional work in the
broad field of agriculture. Its strength lies in
the close coordination of the instructional, re-
search, extension, and reguhitorv functions
within the individual departments, between
the several departments, and in the University
as a whole.
Responsible for the beginnings of the College
Park branch of the University is the College
of Agriculture. Throughout the years, the
College has continued to fit its young men
and women for positions in all parts of the
world.
With tlic advent of peace, its younger staff
members are now returning to take over their
classes again.

The College of Arts and Sciences provides a
broad education in liberal arts and sciences.
In the junior and senior years, the student
specializes in courses leading toward profes-
sional, vocational, or cultural goals. Included
/l^ and Mclem^
in the College are the departments of biological
sciences, economics, history, languages and
literature, physical sciences, political science,
psychology, and sociology.
This year saw the return of several instruc-
tors from the armed forces. Under the veter-
ans' program, the enrollment in the College of
Arts and Sciences was greater than at any time
in the history of the University. Continuing to
maintain high standards, the College is prepar-
ing these men to succeed in their chosen fields.

Excellent opportunities are offered to the
students of the College of Business and Public
Administration to study the economic and
commercial problems of two nearby metro-
politan centers. Instruction is given in Business
Administration, Secretarial Training, Public
Administration, and in the departments of
Foreign Trade and Human and Natural Re-
sources.
Upon graduation from the College, students
are qualified for service in business firms and
governmental agencies and for teaching com-
mercial subjects and economics in high schools
and colleges. Training for effective manage-
ment is the primary objective of the College.
With the postwar development of business and
industry, the demand for young men and
women educated in these fields is rapidly in-
creasing.

Foremost among the aims of the College of
Education is the preparation of young people
for teaching in public schools. Upon these
teachers rests the responsibility of showing
the youth of the Nation a better way of
life.
The College offers courses for those who
w^ish to teach in the secondary, preparatory,
and vocational schools. Bachelor of Arts or
Bachelor of Science degrees are conferred in
Academic, Commercial, Business, Home Eco-
nomics, and Elementary Education. In the
past year the departments of Men's and
Women's Physical Education have again be-
come a part of the College of Education.
Recent too are the added curricula of Dental
and Nursery School Education.
Although at present the College of Educa-
tion is without a dean. Acting Dean Brechbill
has done much to broaden the college program
in education. In the near future a new dean
will be appointed.

Dating hack to 18519 the history of engineer-
ing at the University of Maryland has been
one of continual progress. The outstanding
development of the past year was the generous
gift of $1,500,000 from Glenn L. Martin, pi-
oneer aviator and Baltimore plane manufac-
turer, for new engineering buildings and
equipment; the State Legislature appropriated
an additional $750,000. An endowment of
$ioo,ooo has been set aside for the Glenn L.
Martin Aeronautical Research Foundation.
The entire project is expected to result in the
largest single advancement in the history of
the University.
During the past year manv of our former
engineering students who were in service have
returned, and with them have come many
veterans who are here for the first time.
During the reconversion period ahead, the
College of Engineering will continue to render
maximum service to the State and to the
Nation.

The various curricula in the College of Home
Economics educate young women for the man-
agement of a home and family and equip them
to earn a livelihood. With the close of the
war and the termination of war services, many
home economists are turning to the fields of
teaching, extension, and dietetics.
The College of Home Economics is organized
into the Departments of Foods and Nutrition;
Textiles, Clothing, and Art; and Home and
Taking it seriously.
Institution Management. A home management
house is maintained to give the students prac-
tical experience.
Students having high scholastic averages
may be elected to Omicron Nu, the National

The urgent need for trained nurses during
the past war proved an inspiration to the
young women of America. They offered them-
selves then, as well as now, for the work which
was so helpful in making this world a better
place in which to live.
One of the most signihcant symbols of the
nursing profession is the white graduate cap
which differs from school to school. The cap
awarded to the University Hospital nurses is
patterned after the one worn by Florence
Nightingale; this cap is also worn by the
graduates of Miss Nightingale's own nursing
school, St. Thomas Hospital, London,
England.
For the first time in the history of the Uni-
versity Hospital, the student nurses have pub-
lished a bi-monthly newspaper. The Medical
Dropper. This paper has won the praise of the
Checking the lay of the land.
House Staff, the visiting doctors, and the
medical students, as well as that of the nurses
themselves.
Nurses have earned themselves the admira-
tion and gratitude of all Americans by their
deeds of valor, humanitarianism, and mercy.

T.
HE first peacetime class to enter the Uni-
versity of Maryland in three years, the Class of
1949 did what it could to restore the pre-war
atmosphere on campus; and, by the end of Feb-
ruary, the only visible evidence of the recently
concluded war was the mixture of GI uniforms
and navy raincoats with the traditionally col-
legiate plaid shirts. While the majority of
freshmen concentrated largely on making the
necessary scholastic average, there was always
time for play, and morale was high. The
"'49ers" made their place on campus at Home-
coming in November when they pulled the
sophomores into Paint Branch during the
annual tug-of-war. As a result, they threw
away their rat caps and were absorbed into
the student body as freshmen instead of "rats"
and "rabbits."
Because of the influx of new members during
the fall, the Class of 1949 delayed its organizing
until early in December, when Jack Clark de-
^
20
feated Chuck Callegary for the class presi-
dency. Other officers elected at that time were
Fred DeMarr, vice-president; Nell Ligon, secre-
tary; Barbara Schneider, treasurer; Mary Pat
Smith, historian; and, Bob Kambies, sergeant-
at-arms.
Being the largest class on campus, the fresh-
men were chiefly veterans who, by mid-
semester, had recaptured their positions in
most of the men's dorms which had been
occupied by coeds during the war. To help
these new freshmen, most of whom had entered
the University of Maryland at the beginning
of the second semester, to get acquainted, the
class sponsored a series of freshman mixers in
place of the usual single mixer. These dances
were given in the new student lounge with
the aid of the freshman girls in Margaret
Brent, Anne Arundel, Dorm C, and Calvert
Hall.
Biggest item on the activity schedule of the
"forty-niners" was the traditional freshman
prom. Here again the frosh showed ingenuity
in the choice of a theme, featuring the music of
Clark Sheetenhelm and his orchestra. The
dance committee, under the direction of Jack
Clark, class prexy, and Dick Betson, social
chairman, termed their dance the "Gold Rush
of '49." Goldie Schall and her decoration
committee did a hrst-rate job of transforming
the Gym Armory into an appropriate setting.
Murals, depicting the glorious future of the
"'49ers" at Maryland, were strategically
placed around the gym. To further carry out
the theme, picks and shovels were used as
decorations. At midnight, a colorful spectacle
occurred as the band played "Pennies from
Heaven" and a net of black and gold parted,
releasing multi-colored balloons to descend
upon the dancers. All in all, the "'49ers" gave
Maryland a novel and enjoyable evening.
Thus began the story of the Class of 1949.
The nights are grim.
'til the Sophs take a swim.

X
HE sophomore class, organized for the first
time since 1943, pooled its talents and energies
and really went places this year. President Bill
Eckhardt, Vice-President Bill Greer, Secretary
Sally Morgan, and Treasurer Carol Haase
proved themselves wise choices for class
officers, leading the sophs to fun and renown on
the Maryland campus. Ably assisting them
were Hal Donfrio, Weems Hawkins, Larry
Cooper, Patty Piper, and a sophomore class
united in spirit and literally "raring to go."
The sophs wrote their first page in Mary-
land campus history when they sponsored the
8th Victory Loan Drive and came through
with flying colors. A goal of $3000 was easily
surpassed, and the final count showed that the
drive had netted $17,734. Lennis Janes and
Johnsie Wright handled the sale of stamps and
bonds to the students and faculty respectively.
22
Dee Speed, chairman of the drive, featured a
novel stamp booth at the Veterans' Dance to
further increase the sales. Rita Hickernell did
an excellent job of handling poster publicity
for the drive, and the sophomore class and the
entire student body responded in a manner
that proved that, although the war is over
and the social calendar is as long as in the pre-
war times, Maryland students have not let
down their wartime activities.
February xi was the biggest day for the
sophomores during 1945-1546. Just to prove to
all doubting Thomases that Maryland was
really back to its pre-war social pace, the sophs
gave a "Winter Frolic" that will long remain
a pleasant memory to the lucky hundreds who
attended. Under the able chairmanship of
Weems Hawkins, the class did things right by
engaging Stan Brown and his orchestra, a
favorite among colleges and universities in this
area. Result was an evening of smooth and
solid rhythm, climaxed by a crowning, not of
a queen, but a King of the Prom. The big
moment of the evening came when bashful
Gene "Reds" Kinney was led amidst cheers to
his throne set in front of a mammoth snow
ball. Thus the sophs added a new member to
campus royalty, and Maryland, after many
Queens, once again has a King. Plaudits for
the novel decorations scheme go to the class
social committee headed by Ada Anne Howie
and Pat Cross. All in all, the sophs gave
Maryland one of its peppiest and most in-
genious social evenings of the spring season.
The Class of '48, however, did not get all
the breaks. Just ask anyone of them about the
tug-of-war against the freshmen at the begin-
ning of the year.
Look' s like fun . . .
Even for King Kinney!

JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS

Vice-President Page Chesser
Secretary-Treasurer Phyllis Sell
Historian Barbara Mumford
z
HE beginning of rhc post-war period found
the Class of 1947 ready and eager to revive the
old Maryland spirit. Like the other classes,
they recovered quickly from the confusion and
disorganization of the war years and started
the ball rolling with class elections early in
the fall. After a vigorous campaign that re-
flected the revived class spirit and enthusiasm
that generally pervaded the campus, the jun-
iors elected their officers. Ray Hesse was
victorious in the final balloting for president.
Other officers elected were Page Chesser, vice-
president; Phyllis Sell, secretary-treasurer; and
Barbara Mumford, historian. Throughout the
year the victorious candidates did a hundred-
percent job of reviving traditional and colorful
junior class activities.
The lirst big result of their work and one
which did much to boost the morale of all
Marylanders was the revival of the traditional
24
Junior Promenade. In past years, this Prom
had been the annual highlight of Maryland's
social season, but due to wartime conditions
the dance had been left off the social calendar
since 1943 (the year of the famed "trolley car"
prom). The Class of '47 set to work to revive
this time-honored custom at Maryland and
the result was one of the most colorful dances
in Maryland history. Bobby Byrne and his
orchestra, who have played at other out-
standing Maryland dances in the past, were
engaged to furnish the music in the impressive
ballroom of Washington's Willard Hotel. As
of old, the dance was strictly formal; and in
the best Maryland tradition, the upperclass-
men promenaded to the strains of the Grand
March which climaxed the evening. Earlier,
there had been a moment of suspense when
announcement was made of the selection of
Bert Williams, Tri Delt, to reign as Miss Terra-
pin of 1946. The Terrapin queen this year was
chosen by the victors of the Rose Bowl, the
University of Alabama's football team, who
selected the winning candidate on the basis of
beauty, brains, and intelligence.
In between dances, the tux-clad gentlemen
and their elegantly attired ladies found refresh-
ment at the soft drink stand specially set up
for the evening by the Prom committee. By
unanimous consent, the Prom was the high-
light of the 1945-1946 season.
Later in the spring, the juniors inaugurated
a new class custom when, in conjunction with
Mortar Board, they took over the responsi-
bility of sponsoring the annual May Day cere-
monies. As in past years. May Day left an
impression of charm and beauty witnessed in
an appropriately charming and beautiful set-
ting. To the Class of '47 goes thanks for
carrying on a significant Maryland tradition.
Big night for all . . .

of 1946
No more of this
. . . or this.
October, 194^, despite the impact of Pearl
Harbor, saw a record number of rats and rab-
bits descend on the Maryland campus. These
neophytes, the dignified seniors of 1946, made
their debut at the University first in rat hats
and pig tails, later in tuxes and tails at the
traditional Freshman Prom. With the dousing
of their arch rivals, the sophomores, in Paint
Branch, the new class established themselves
as a group to be reckoned with in Maryland
life.
Despite the loss of men to the armed forces
and the lapse of class organization for the next
two years, the present seniors held the class
together during the difficult war years, and,
with the revival of formal class organization
this year, they once again became active.
Early in the fall they elected Fred Safford,
president; Jerry Cleaver, vice-president; Jeanne
Bennett, secretary; and Louise Vance, treas-
urer. These officers were responsible for ar-
ranging the traditional Senior Class Com-
mencement Week activities. As a result of their
planning, the annual senior banquet was held
in the Statler Hotel's Congressional Room.
Under their guidance also, the graduation cere-
monies and baccalaureate service were planned
and carried out. Climaxing this week of cere-
mony and solemnity, the seniors of 1946 gave
their final collegiate social function, the time-
honored Senior Ball, thereby completing their
four year rise from humble wearers of the rat
cap to proud bearers of the Mortar Board.
But this
. . . and this.

RGAXIZATIONS

The Student Board started the year with a
greeting from the Arts and Sciences steps to
the new students, pep rallies to cheer our foot-
ball team to victory, and student dances, most
successful of which was the Homecoming
Dance featuring Jerry Wald's orchestra. How-
ever, the Board cannot take full credit for this
dance, as the "M" Club played a major role
in making it a success. In addition to these
social activities, the Board organized the sen-
ior, junior, sophomore, and freshman classes,
which had been inactive since 1942-.
Under the able direction of Portia Searls, a
Student Lounge was established in the Armory,
where students could enjoy bridge, ping-pong,
and dancing. Both the Rossborough and Men's
League were reorganized and became active in
February.
Also in February the Student Board was
arbitrarily disbanded to make way for the
re-activated Student Government Association
with its revised constitution; this organization
had not been in operation for four years. In-
vestigation and basic plans were made with
regard to the construction of a Student Union
building on the Maryland campus, the realiza-
tion of which is anticipated in the near tuture.
Thus, in the transition \\-o\\\ a wartime
schedule of campus activities to one of peace,
the S.G.A. has been working to reestablish
many of Maryland's hallowed traditions and
organizations.
50
Women's League is that branch of the Stu-
dent Government Association of the University
which formulates and enforces the rules and
regulations pertaining to the conduct of
women students on campus. This organization
functions on a democratic basis; the officers
are chosen by the women students in the spring
of the preceding year, and the girls choose
their representatives from their own house on
or near campus.
However, the administering of rules and
regulations is not its sole function. It assisted
the Student Board in setting up the first out-
door nativity scene and organized the Christ-
mas program. It sponsored many and sup-
ported all of the various campus drives, among
which was the very successful clothing drive.
Along with the junior class it sponsored the
picturesque May Day celebration, which is
one of the outstanding yearly activities on
campus. Chairman Randy Randall took all
the responsibility for this big occasion and
did an outstanding job in making it a huge
success.
The student officers who led these varied
activities and helped to make the social life
of the girls on campus most desirable were
Betty Jackson, president, Peggy Maxwell, vice-
president, Marjorie Frederick, secretary, and
Louisa White, treasurer.
First row: Kelley, White, Jackson, Frederick, Fell. Second row: King, Davis, McLean, Garrott, Curran, Bulani, Preble.

The Veterans' Club of the University of
Maryland was founded during the spring se-
mester of 1945. The club got under way
through the efforts of Harwood Jackson and a
small but active nucleus. Fall semester of the
new school vear brought with it new elections;
and, under the presidency of William Hoff, the
organization started to progress far beyond
expectations. With the able assistance of such
vets as "Chuck " Callegary, Harvey Allen, Bob
Forsberg, Al Lehman, and many others, the
club really became active in school affairs. The
members handled a variety of jobs that in-
cluded everything from management of the
Homecoming Day floats to decorating the
tunnel for Christmas. The manger scene,
which they set up and surrounded with Christ-
mas greens, added a touch of beauty to the
T/'f chosen elevai.

snow-covered campus during the Christmas
season.
The veterans entered teams in all intra-
mural meets and the intramural touch foot-
ball championship was captured by the Veter-
ans' Club team, a hard driving unit that was
never defeated nor even scored upon. In such
other sports as basketball and softball, the
veterans' teams proved a threat to all rivals.
On December 7, 1945, the club held its out-
standing social function of the year, a Victory
dance to commemorate the gallant efforts of
all our fighting men. The dance was highly
successful, especially for the veterans them-
selves who experienced "that old college feel-
ing" once again.
Thus the records show a highly satisfactory
beginning for the Veterans' Club. This organi-
zation, more than any other, has made every
veteran feel like an integral and operating part
of the University. As time goes on and its
membership multiplies, it is certain that much
more will be heard from the Vets' Club in the
days to come.

in American Colleges and Universities
The Student Board members at the end of
the fall semester chose the twenty upperclass-
men they considered to have contributed nu)st
to the University. These twenty people will
be ranked with outstanding students of other
colleges in the publication, Who's Who in Awer-
icitti Colleges and Universities.
These thirteen girls and seven boys have
contributed much towards making the campus
experiences of themselves and others richer in
many ways. They have served on the coun-
cil of the Student Government Association;
worked with University publications;
officiated at their sororities and fraternities,
and other campus organizations; partici-
pated in athletics; and served the student
body faithfully whenever an opportunity
presented itself.

White.
The great responsibility of advising and as-
suring the success of the student publications
of the University falls on the shoulders of the
Publications Board. Acting Dean of Men James
Reid directly assisted the students in the pub-
lication of the Terrapin and the Diamondback
in the fall of this year; reassuming his other
duties here on campus as Dean of Men,
"Swede" Eppley then took over this respon-
sibility. The board, during this school year,
was composed of the editors of the Terrapin,
Genie Simmons and Lucille Stewart; the edi-
tors of the Diamondback, Ann Troxell and
Ray Hesse; President Dee Speed of Pi Delta
Epsilon, honorary journalism fraternity; the
chairman of the Student Board, Leslie Daly;
the president of Women's League, Betty Jack-
son; Dean Adele H. Stamp; and Dr. Charles
E. White. The board meets occasionally to dis-
cuss informally the problem of appointment to
responsible positions of the various publica-
tions. They also formulate the policy of the
newspaper and yearbook, which in turn re-
flects the policy of the University itself. The
board serves in an advisory capacity to the
students and has helped the various publica-
tions through many difficult situations.
During the war period the board worked
under a considerable strain trying to get the
necessary supplies to keep these publications
going. Now that peace has come again, the
student publications shall resume again the
quality and quantity of former years. The
board has done a great job in maintaining its
high standards during such a stressful time.
In addition to the staff of the various pub-
lication, the responsibility of getting the
printed issues into the hands of the students
falls largely upon the shoulders of the printers
and their staffs. The Diamondback staff would
be lost without the assistance of Thomas Ang-
lin of Anglin Brothers Printing Establishment;
likewise the Terrapin staff depends greatly
upon the assistance of Mr. Harry Lavelle and
Mr. Carroll Hutton of the Thomsen-Ellis-Hutton
Company. The Publications Board and the
staffs are deeply indebted to these people and
most appreciative of all they have done to
make the campus publication possible during
such a trying period.

The Terrapin is unique among campus pub-
lications. It is the product of genius, some-
times mad, sometimes misguided, hut never-
theless genius. Our co-editors, "Lou" Stewart
and Genie Simmons, had a busy year gathering
Genie Simmons
Co- Editor-in-Chief
pictures and people with a will to work . Bettv
Lee Saumenig dashed madly around campus
with contracts and a mercenary look in her
eye. Nancy Simmons followed the photog-
rapher around lining up the necessary group
pictures, while Lillian Johnson pounded out
copy on her antique typewriter. Sports Editor
Fred DeMarr hounded the Publications office
for pictures of Maryland's athletic individuals
in action.
Although all yearbooks must contain essen-
tially the same material, it is the hope of each
editor and staff to produce a book as different
as possible from any previously published. Fol-
lowing this tradition, the staff presents several
innovations. The book is written according to
classes following a student from the rime he
56
matriculates until he walks across the plat-
form to receive his diploma.
All in all the staff has enjoyed working
together; it has been a great experience. We
have done our best to give you a yearbook that
will bring back pleasant memories of the 1945-
46 year you spent on the campus of the Uni-
versity of Maryland.

After several weeks of hard work during the
summer semester, the Preliminary on the ii)4)
M Book was completed and ready for the
printer.
The staff was small in comparison to the
previous year, hut it was well-manned. Ray
Hesse held down the editor's job and was
assisted by Sally Conlon, who reported on
student activities, and Beverly Johnson as busi-
ness manager. Jane Morgan did the copy for
sororities; Frank Lisciotto, fraternities; Dottie
Lyon, sports; and Pat Coyle, military. Doug
Parkhurst made his contribution with his fine
cartoons; and the talents of Jeannette Owen,
'43 and Walter Kerwin, '41, were borrowed to
round out the hook.
The scene for the composition of the Fresh-
man Bible was the Diainondbuck office. Everv
day, Monday through Friday, passersby could
hear the members of the staff picking at the
tvpewriters. Consequently, copy for the book
was completed in record breaking time; the
book was printed, bound, and ready for dis-
tribution ten days before the start of the tall
term.
The finished AI Book was bound in a black
leather cover with its title and seal printed in
gold. With well over a hundred pages, eight
pictures, seven drawings, and a complete map
of the campus, the n)4) M. Book prepared the
freshmen for their life here on campus.

Officially, the Student Musical Activities
Committee is the control group for campus
musical organization. It secures the joint Bud-
get for these organizations from the Student
Board and adjusts the financial agreements
between them. The members of the committee
are the presidents and treasurers of the Men's
Glee Club, the Women's Chorus, the Orches-
tra, and the Clef and Key Club.
Under the sponsorship of S.M.A.C., there
were the many well remembered community
sings which did so much to promote a feeling
of unity and esprit de corps in the Maryland
student body. Whether held out of doors in
the natural amphitheater or in the Agriculture
Auditorium, these variety shows were equally
successful. Featured in the shows were many
talented performers from Maryland's campus
who received a whole-hearted welcome from
the enthusiastic student body participating
in the sings. Popular and patriotic songs, as
well as the perennial favorites, directed by
Professor Randall and seasoned with his nim-
ble wit, filled the spring air and the venerable
collegiate halls with warmth and harmony.
Musical evenings such as "Maryland by Moon-
light," and "Hour of Charm" featuring Mary-
land's Women's Chorus, and an equally popu-
lar concert by the men's choral group were
planned and carried out with gratifying results.
Contributing in large measure to their success
was the orchestra composed of Maryland Stu-
dents.
Heading S.M.A.C. this year was Barbara
Brown, with Randy Randall acting as treas-
urer. Mr. Harland Randall is the faculty
advisor to the group. Among the Marylanders
who contributed their vocal and instrumental
talents to the musical activities productions
were Kent Kise, whose rendition of Day By
Day provoked a sigh or two from the most
unromantic listeners; Rosemary Gordon,
whose husky tones met the audiences' hearty
approval; Virginia Bradford and Dorothy
Gooding, pianists; Par Brown, Maryland's
flute virtuoso; Charlie Haslup, popular master
of the keyboard; Lois Forrester and Eileen
Simpson, vocalists; and a host of other talented
Maryland students. Through the community
sings and other musical programs, the S.M.A.C.
kept a finger on the student pulse and gave the
campus several evenings of fun.

Clef and Key, the campus musical variety
organization, presented last November "Mon-
otonee," a variety show for the benefit of the
Community War Fund. Featured in the show
were Jean Maul, Rosemary Gordon, Bill Whar-
ton, Lois Forrester, El Tall, Rose Marie Kelley,
Ricky Brendler, Meredith Schmidt, Ray Spes-
sard, Ruth Trunnell, Eileen Simpson, Helen
Giddings, Kathy Bailey, Mary Frances Hunter,
Bill Kahler, Reggie Hall's orchestra, and Gil
Bresnick as Master of Ceremonies.
The 1945 V^arsity Show, "One Touch of
Genius," written and directed by Jean Daly,
was produced by Wanda Pelczar, then presi-
sent of Clef and Key; it starred Wanda and
Dick Gumpper in a comical history of the Uni-
versity.
This year, the organization presented its
seventh annual Varsity Show, "Strictly from
Hunger," written and directed by Jean Daly.
The plav, concerning the return of the veter-
ans to campus life, starred Eileen Simpson and
Kent Kise, with Lois Forrester in the chief
supporting singing role. Also featured in the
cast were Rosemary Gordon, Dick Gumpper,
Walter Beam, Sally Conlon, Connie Kranz, El
Tall, Harry Elliott, RomanGeller,GoldieShall,
Sid Sterman, Virginia Carpenter, Meredith
Schmidt, Jackie Zelko, and Ray Spessard. Com-
mittee chairmen included Dolly Wilhide and
Edith Krenlich, stage crew; Ramona Randall
and N'irginia Carpenter, publicity; Sally Con-
lon, costumes; Marguerite Stitely, make-up;
and, Mary Harry Davis, properties. The or-
chestra was under the direction of Reggie Hall,
and the entire show was supervised by Profes-
sor Harlan Randall. Original music was
composed by Marsh Stieding, Charlie Haslup,
Vincent Bredice, William Moore, and George
Aman.
During the war Clef and Key "hit the
rocks," and until 1945 the campus had not
62
been entertained by a Varsity Show since
"Lick Mine Boots, Peasant." Therefore, this
year marked the revival of one more of Mary-
land's long-standing traditions. To those who
had witnessed earlier varsity productions, this
year's show brought back pleasant memories
and gave promise of even better things to come
m the post-war years.
Clef and Key is exclusively a student organi-
zation. Shows are written, produced, directed,
and staged by members of the club, with
faculty advice and supervision by Professor
Randall of the Music Department.
This year's officers were: Jean Daly, presi-
dent; Dick Gumpper, vice-president; Dorothy
Dansberger, corresponding secretary; Marguer-
ite Stitely, recording secretary; Ramona Ran-
dall, treasurer; and Joe Lucke, historian.

The Women's Chorus, composed of ninerv
talented coeds, has been singing its way into
the hearts of the Maryland students, Washing-
tonians, and nearby servicemen for the past
few years.
Harlan "Doc" Randall, professor of music,
served as the capable leader of this captivating
group. Both in the fall and spring semesters
the chorus sang to the men at Fort Meade and
later had the pleasure of dancing with them.
One night in November, despite sleet and a
broken bus, the girls made their way to the
auditorium of the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission where they presented a delightful pro-
gram. In March, they featured an "Hour of
Charm" program in collaboration with a drive
to raise funds for the National Symphony Or-
chestra. It was a great success and has the
earmarks of becoming another traditional cam-
pus affair. In April, the girls were privileged
to sing "The Lord's Prayer" with Mona
Paulee, Metropolitan opera star, at a concert
she gave in the Coliseum. The chorus, par-
ticipating in the annual May Day Celebration,
added much charm to that scenic background
with their colorful gowns and mellowed
voices. The big event of the season was the
girls' third annual trip to the United States
Navel Academy in Annapolis where they put
on a highly successful program on the platform
of Bancroft Hall.
Their accompanists, Virginia Bradford and
Dorothy Gooding, contributed a large part to
the success of the year. Miss Bradford played
some of her own compositions throughout the
season.
The chorus met twice each week for rehears-
als, and the girls were most faithful in their
attendance. Their officers were : Barbara Brown,
president; Margaret Harryman, vice-president;
Lois Forrester, secretary; Mary Harry Davis,
treasurer; and Barton Hall, librarian.

After a long period of silence, the Men's Glee Club can again be heard
singing its melodies into the hearts of the students. Under the able leadership
of Harlan "Doc" Randall, professor of music, the Glee Club has grown in
popularity and size. With more and more veterans returning to campus the
club promises to become one of the outstanding campus groups.

Under the direction of Harlan Randall, the University of Maryland Student
Orchestra has played at many University functions throughout the year. At
the June graduation, the orchestra played a major role; and, May Day would
have been incomplete without its classical and semi-classical strains. The
members have provided an invaluable service at the various functions on
campus, including dramatic productions and teas.
65
The guests find a happy medium.

Working with the speech department of the
University of Maryland, the Footlight Club
presented three plays during the 1945- 1946
season. The initial production, presented in
November for a four nights' running, was Noel
Coward's Blithe Spirit, a delightful comedy
ably directed by Dr. Charles Niemeyer. Sets
for the play were designed by Dwight Thomas.
Jacqueline Hastings, Dorothy Krehnbrink, and
Roman Geller in the leading roles gave per-
formances which ensured the study of a warm
reception by Maryland audiences.
From April -l-G, the club again made news
on campus with its hilarious version of Hugh
Herbert's Kiss iind Tell, directed bv Dr. Nie-
meyer assisted by Rose Marie Kelley. The
leading roles in the production were handled
capably by Betty Gamble and Dorothy McCas-
lin as Corliss Archer and Edward Muth as
Dexter Franklin. An excellent supporting cast
added their varied talents to the success of tlu
play.
Footlight members can look back on the
past year with pride. The club progressed not
only in its dramatic accomplishments but also
in its organization and workmanship. Through
Blythe Spirit returns.
66
And then there were tu
the combined efforts of the club members, the
University theater underwent many changes.
A new ticket booth was added to the theatre
lobby. To facilitate production, a general
workroom for set-building was made available
to the club; and new curtains, lights, and elec-
trical equipment were added to the stage of the
theater.
Club membership qualifications were also re-
vised at the beginning of the year. In the future.

The Religious Life Committee is composed
of faculty members who are interested in the
spiritual outlook of the students as well as
their social and mental attitudes. During the
past year they have done much toward helping
the veterans and other students to readjust
themselves to this new era of peace. The com-
mittee sponsored many highly successful ves-
per and interdenominational services through-
out the year.
The committee meets monthly with repre-
sentatives from each religious club. These
meetings help to cement the feeling of toler-
ance among the various religious clubs on cam-
pus, and they aid in the invaluable exchange of
worthwhile ideas.

The purpose of the Newman Club is to pro-
vide a religious and social bond among the
Catholic students of the University. On the
first and third Wednesday of each month the
group met in the Maryland Room.
At the beginning of the year a new chap-
lain, Father Hugh Radigan, O.F.M., of Holy
Name College, replaced Father TerrenceKuehn,
O.F.M., who left to become president of Terra
Santo College in Jerusalem.
With Frank Borges guiding the club the
first semester and Vic Turyn serving as presi-
dent the second semester, its numerous activi-
ties were carried out. The choir of Holy Name
College entertained the group with hymns and
other musical selections. During the year a
number of guest speakers appeared at the meet-
ings. Lt. Edward Kirchner, U.S.N. , director
of the North American Secretariat of Pax Ro-
mana, explained the Newman Club's relation-
ship to Pax Romana. Speaking at another
meeting was Mr. Edward Tamm, assistant di-
rector of the F.B.I. Representative Murphy of
Pennsylvania gave some interesting sidelights
in his address concerning the Pearl Harbor
investigation.
Under the direction of Lt. Sam Lander,
U.S.N., a choir was organized and an organ
obtained for the chapel. A Lenten retreat was
held during March for the benefit of all Catho-
lics on campus. In the spring the group visited
the F.B.I, in Washington, D.C. Other trips
were made to the Franciscan Monastery and
other famous shrines.
Available for Newman Club members and
other Catholic students are many books of
religious interest in the school library.

number of students, was under the direction of
President Bobbe Burdette. A hockey tourna-

tories, sororities, and daydodgers participat-
ing. A bowling tournament was then held.
Each team provided its own pingirl. The win-
ner of the tournament. Kappa Delta, was
awarded a trophy; Anne Arundel ran them a
close second. Basketball had one of the largest
turnouts. Each team was fighting for the cup
awarded by Sigma Tau Epsilon. Four games
\vere played each day, and the girls with the
University of Maryland basketball rating were
kept busy; these girls also refereed games in
high schools in this area. Volleyball, bad-
minton, tennis, and table tennis tournaments
were also played. Play days with colleges in
this area were very popular, and the after
dinner dances were enjoyed by everyone on
campus.
The W.R.A. banquet was the climax of the
year. At this time the new officers were in-
stalled, the managers for the next year were

winning teams and the girls who had par-
ticipated in the necessary sports to win their
letter.

The Independent Student Union is the out-
growth of a long felt need for an organization
interested in students unaffiliated with Greek
letter societies.
This year the I.S.U. started out with great
enthusiasm, opening its "Welcome Party" to
the whole campus. Acting as Master of Cere-
monies was Midge Harryman, who led mix-
ers, group singing, and contests between stu-
dents and faculty members. Later all students
turned out in plaid shirts and genes for the
LS.U. Square Dance. At this frolicing affair
Jean Lou Crossthwait, tri Delt, was crowned
Diamondback Queen by Dr. Byrd. Christmas
found the LS.U. members caroling up and
down the hill.
The second semester, with its increased male
enrollment, brought new vigor to the organi-
zation. In April another very successful Square
Dance was held. In May the I.S.U. members
took a boat trip to Mount Vernon.

The Pan-Hellenic Council of the University
continued its policy of promoting good fellow-
ship among the sisters of the twelve sororities
on campus. In order to discuss the many
problems confronting the Greek organizations,
the Council held monthly meetings at the
various sorority houses.
The Council served as a mediator during
rushing, instituted new rushing rules, saw that
these regulations were maintained, and sub-
jected the offenders to specific penalties.
Looking back over the fall rushing season,
the Council feels that the pre-school rushing
system proved to be a huge success. The girls,
who were interested in joining a Greek letter
social organization, returned to campus a week
earlier than the others. Those seven days were
crammed full of parties, teas, and other open-
house functions. After these busy days and
sleepless nights, the girls appeared at the Dean
of Women's office to hand in their preference
lists and later to get their bids. The Council
feels that this new system did much in helping
to ease the strain of previous years on both the
sororities and the rushees who had to shoulder
the responsibilities of classes and studies in
the midst of these social functions.
The Pan-Hellenic Council has instigated a
Junior Pan-Hellenic Council which is com-
posed of pledges of all the sororities. Instead
of the usual pledge parties, this Junior Council
sponsored a tea for the pledges of every so-
rority, and it was a huge success.

September, 1945, found the Alpha Delta Pi's
back at Maryland early to tie up any loose ends
left from the summer's work of redecorating
the house. Like the rest of the Maryland
students, they looked forward to the initial
year of the post-war era with confidence and
anticipation. At the end of Rush Week, Alpha
Delta Pi was proud to claim twenty-four new
pledges as evidence of the enthusiasm and
hard work that went into their many rush teas,
desserts, and other social functions.
By October the Beta Phi's were good for
one more party, and it turned out to be the
novel Red Sock Dance, at which everyone was
brilliantly attired in a flashy pair of red sox.
The moment anyone entered the house that
evening, he was quietly relieved of his shoes
and left to dance in his stocking feet. An
hilarious time was had by all.
The next morning many of the A.D. Pi's
were up early to make the trip to Morgantown,
West Virginia, to witness the Maryland-West
Virginia football game, as guests of their sister
chapter at the latter University.
A tea for the parents of the Beta Phi members
and pledges, and the annual pledge dance with
Dick Betson's music makers, high-lighted the
pre-holiday season. Both were unqualified suc-
cesses. During the course of the year, a hearty
welcome home was extended to the A.D. Pi's
neighbors, the Phi Delts, with a dinner at the
sorority house.
Activities on the hill found A.D. Pi's presi-
dent, Bobbie Burdette, also serving as president
of W.R.A., and sister Kate Smith as treasurer of
the same organization. Mim Drewyer and
Mildred Preble read the minutes in I.R.C. and
Spanish club respectively, while Ann Fennessey
performed similar duties at the Riding Club.
Other A.D. Pi's were active in Women's Cho-

The second year on campus for the Pi Phi's
was a crowded one with wartime activities
drawing to a close and a host of social events
coming back into prominence. Climaxing the
innumerable Rush Week teas, desserts, and
other functions with the pledging of thirteen
new Pi Phi's, the girls prepared to launch
their fall social season. Shortly after the close
of Rush Week, an open-house tea was held in
honor of Mrs. R. C. Wakefield, province presi-
dent of the sorority. Homecoming, an open-
house dance, and initiation followed in rapid
order.
In between sessions of bridge and Chinese
rummy, the Pi Phi's let loose with a few snow-
ball battles, exchange dinners, and a Hallow-
een party where the pledges kept the actives
running till three a.m. Wartime activities,
however, were not forgotten with the close of
hostilities. A number of the Pi Phi's still
acted as hostesses at various canteens, enter-
tained convalescents, and sold innumerable
war bonds. The Army Air Forces provided
several interesting movies on rehabilitation
for returning soldiers. These were shown at
the house with the Kappa's as guests of the
sorority.
Among those trudging up the hill to meet-
ings were Marjorie Frederick as Secretary of
Sigma Tau Epsilon, honorary women's recrea-
tion association, Secretary of Women's League,
and Secretary of Newman club; Bobbie Brown
and Barton Hall as President and Librarian,
respectively, of Women's Chorus; and Carolyn
Buck to Omicron Nu, honorary home eco-
nomics' fraternity. Jackie Hastings found time
to play a lead in the Footlight presentation of
"Blvthc Spirit." Janice Garrott was president
100
of Margaret Brent dormitory, while publica-
tions held the interest of Ethel Jongeneel and
Jean Smith.
The new year opened with twenty-nine girls
wearing the arrow of Pi Beta Phi and thirteen
wearing the pledge pin. Between those first
weeks of rushing and the final closing of the
year in early June, the Pi Phi memory book
records many good times and good friends
and a year of fun and work for all concerned.

The Kappa's started the post-war period
with high hopes and plenty of activity. Dances
activities, and the traditional bridge games
crowded the calendar.
The social season opened with an informal
tea to welcome the new chapter of Delta Gamma .
To initiate the football season, the Kappa's
held open house for all fraternities and so-
rorities and followed the Homecoming game

BETA SIGMA CHAPTER
YowxM nt OXFORD INSTITUTE
in 1874
EstflfchsJid at tlu UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
in 1945
In June of 1945 a pledge pin new to the
campus, a white shield with gold lettering,
was presented to twenty girls at Maryland.
On October 13, 1945, these girls exchanged
their pledge pins for golden anchors and be-
came members of a newly installed Delta
Gamma chapter. Beta Sigma.
On moving into the former Sigma Nu house
last fall, the girls were delighted by their new
furnishings upstairs and down, freshly painted
walls, and softly carpeted floors. During the
summer the Delta Gamma alumnae, under the
leadership of Dr. Cormelia Cotton, had super-
vised the complete redecoration of the house
in a modern manner. Added to the original
group were Grace Barricklow, Delta Gamma
Field Secretary, and Jane Ellsworth, a Deegee
transfer from the University of Oregon. After
completing a successful rush week, the girls
began preparing for the day when Beta Sigma
would be given its charter; and, they, the
initiates, would receive their pins.
The day of initiation arrived at last, and
Delta Gamma's national officers arrived to
take charge of the proceedings. They were
also present for the round of social activities
which followed. The new members were
feted at a formal banquet at the Statler, another
banquet given by President Byrd at the Hotel
2.400, and at receptions and teas given for the
new initiates and by the DeeGee members
themselves.
At the end of this social whirl, the girls were
so used to being busy that they found no
trouble in turning their attentions and energies
from social to academic and extra-curricular
activities. Dorothy Dansbergcr acted as cor-
responding secretary of Clef and Key, and
Emily Hamon attended Alpha Lambda Delta
meetings. Marie Bulani, another Clef and Key
member, and Jo HofFmeister sang in Women's
Chorus. Bunnv Holland was treasurer of the
Newman Club, and the Canterbury Club mem-
bers chose Libby Graham to act as recording
secretarv. Efhe Ingalls could have been seen on
104
Thursday afternoons hurrying to her duties as
hostess at the Stage Door Canteen in Wash-
ington, and Pat Koehler put in many patriotic
hours as a member of the Red Cross Canteen
Corps. All of the girls assisted in furthering
the success of Delta Gamma's national project
of aiding the blind.
First DeeGee to be married was Sidney
Nimmo, who became Mrs. Brown the day
before she was initiated.
Yes, the Delta Gamma's, under the guiding
hand of Jane Schreiber, have become firmly
anchored in the life and activities of the Uni-
versity of Maryland. During their initial year
on campus, they have more than justified the
warm welcome which the new sorority re-
ceived back in '45. With their enthusiasm for
University activities and cooperation with
other groups, the DeeGee's give promise of
being a vital force in campus life.

The White House on the Hill was whiter
still and all ready to be lived in as vacationing
Gamma Phi's returned in October to their
newlv redecorated dwelling-place.
Socially the girls were off to a gay start
with an old-fashioned hayride that resulted in
fun and frolic for everybody. November ii,
Founders' Day, was celebrated with a formal
sorority banquet. A round of teas and dances
followed, including the Pledge Dance and Par-
ents' Tea.
Many Gamma Phis were active in campus
organizations. Marty Hughes succeeded
Wanda Pelczar as president of Mortar Board,
with Joyce Reside holding the pen in the same
organization. In Red Cross work Joyce was
president with Betty Jenkins assisting her as

December Marty was tapped for Phi Kappa
Phi, scholastic honorarv, and elected president
of Pi Delta Epsilon, journalism honorary. At
the helm in International Relations Club was
Randy Randall, who also held the treasurer-
ship of the Spanish Club and Clef and Key.

the group in their annual production of the
Varsity Show. Louisa White organized the
first Junior Pan-Hellenic at Maryland and
served as the secretary of W.R.A.
On the third finger left-hand list were Mary

Another year of living and working to-
gether in their temporary home, the A.T.O.
house, was successfully embarked upon by a
full house of Sigma Kappa's who returned to
the Maryland campus last October. Paint
brushes, soap and water, brooms, and elbow
grease were prevalent for the hrst few days.
Due to the fact that the A.T.O. 's were plan-
ning to reoccupy their house in the spring, the
Sigma Kappa's planned some redecoration of
their own house. The many social functions
given by the sorority testify to the good use
which the girls made of their attractive home.
Starting with an open house tea, the so-
rority continued throughout the year to hold
formal and informal gatherings, such as pa-
jama parries, informal teas, and dances. The
annual Christmas formal proved to be one of
the year's highlights.
At Homecoming the girls collaborated on a
float with the Phi Delt's in which their theme,
"World of Tomorrow," received third place.
They also won third place for house decora-
tions during Homecoming.
Founder's Day was celebrated by the Mary-
land chapter and the Washington chapter with
a banquet in Washington.
Between classes and in their spare time the
girls were preoccupied with bridge games or
holding their usual after-dinner jam sessions.
Many outstanding achievements were made
on campus this year by the Sigma Kappa's.
Peggy Morrissey acted as president of the
French Club and Laura Petrone as secretary of
the Canterbury Club. Dona McCoy was pub-
licity agent of the German Club, and Miriom
Turner, president of Junior Pan-Hel. Patricia

The annual Spring Formal furnished a grand
finale to the Delta social calendar.
The Tri Delts began the school year with a
full social calendar. In November they cele-
brated Founder's Day with a banquet at the
Hotel 1400. During the fall jean Lou Cros-
thwait was crowned "Diamondback Queen."
Pledge Eileen Simpson was chosen "Victory
Queen" by the returned veterans. At Home-
coming the Delta's won the Homecoming cup
for the most novel house decorations. In
December the traditional Tri Delt pledge dance
was held. Paper sky, clouds, and stars carried
out the theme of heaven. In April it was like
old times to see the fraternities represented
again in Tri Delts' annual Interfraternity Sing.
Tri Delta athletes received the Sigma Kappa
trophy for intramural sports. For outstanding
contributions to interfaith understanding, Jerry
Pficffer was awarded the Interfaith Fellowship

Merchant Marine Library Fund, and the World
Student Fund.
The chapter was also well represented in
campus activities. Kathlyn Bailey was elected
secretary-treasurer of the Student Board and

A.O.Pi started its social reconversion with a
bang-up annual open house of pre-war variety.
As in past years, the dance was an overwhelm-
ing success. Revival of A. O. Pi's traditional
red and white ball gave another sign of the
return to normality on campus.
The "red rose," adorned with a generous
helping of A.O.Pi pulchritude, appeared in a
portrayal of World Peace during the Home-
coming day float parade. In spite of stiff
competition, it unanimt)usly took hrst honors.
The University was honored by the presence of
General and Mrs. George C. Marshall among
the judges.
Jeanne Bennett was gavel swinger for the
year and secretary of the senior class. Kitty
"versatile" Briggs was president of the Wesley
Club, vice-president of the Sociology Club, and
vice-president of the sorority. Phyllis Sell
served as secretary of the junior class and
treasurer of A.O.Pi. Omicron Nu tapped
A. O. Pi's secretary, Lois Reed, and she reaped
further honors by being initiated into Phi
Kappa Phi.
The pledge class showed its appreciation by
giving a traditional dance for the actives in
January. Babs Schneider started out on the
right foot as treasurer of the freshman class
and Rose Marie Kelly tackled the tough job of
being president of her section of Calvert Hall.
Another dorm president was Dotty McClean
of dorm 4F. Dotty was also vice-president of
the Physical Education Club.
Post-war plans were carried out by several
A. O. Pi's in regard to matrimony. Muriel
Rothman said "1 do" to Lt. Fred Houghton,
Jan Jordan to Lt. Ivan Oberhellman, and Gloria
Eisele to Lt. Ralph E. McQuillin. Polly
Sellars became Lowell Pratt's "Missus," and
Joy McFarlanc's marriage to Major James J.
McFarland was quite a sorority affair as sev-

bridesmaids.

Donning blue jeans topped by brilliant plaid
shirts and wielding huge paintbrushes, the
girls of Alpha Mu transformed the formerly
masculine retreat of Sigma Chi into a feminine
bower of powder blue and misty pink adorned
with ruffles and floral trims. A housewarming
tea was enriched by the presence of twenty-
two new pledges, visible evidence of an enor-
mously successful rushing season.
Gay orange and black Halloween ornaments
decorated the house for the first dance of the
season in honor of the pledges. Phyllis Rosen
presided as pledge queen. Highlight of the
social calendar was the dance in honor of the
graduating seniors in January, which topped
an exciting week end of parties and a visit from
A. E. Phi's province director, Judy Mann.
This year saw Jean Yalom installed into
Phi Kappa Phi, senior scholarship honorary,
and Marilyn Miller tapped by Alpha Lambda
Delta, freshman honorary society. Helene
Aaronson was Pan-Hellenic Secretary. Feme
Kandel became editor of the Sociology Club
paper, while Beverly Brody served as vice-
president of the French Club. Tema Goldiner
recorded history for the Footlight Club. Viv-
ienne Rose, who succeeded Hannah Seidel in
February as Alpha Mu's president, was li-
brarian of the Footlight Club and was re-elected
treasurer of the Dance Club.
Cupid's arrow hit often in tlie A.F.Phi liouse
this year with the marriages of Rhona Benesch
to Harry Cohen; Hannah Needle to Ben Seidel;
Anita Reiskin to Ben Rubin, Estelle 'Wolowitz,
former president of Alpha Psi Omega and of
the newly formed alumnae organization, to Dr.
Irving Jacobs.
Feme Kandel became engaged to Fred Kol-
odner, Dorothv Rovener to Mendel Friedman,
Sonia Friedman to Robert Hallock, Helene
Aaronson to Major Frank Rich, and Elaine
Ogus to Lieutenant Robert Tepper. Newest
heartthrob was Richard Lee Begun, son of
Evelyne Bressler Begun, A.E.Phi alumna.
As the girls of Alpha Mu looked back on the
past year of college life, they saw accumulated
memories of laughter and comradeship which
thev will alwavs remember.

Along with the rest of the world. Phi Sigma
Sigma went all out for reconversion this year.
The seniors were thrilled and just a little
nostalgic, while the underclassmen were awed
by campus life in normal times.
Before the year was over, the girls were pre-
facing remarks about canteens and service clubs
with "remember when." Even so, they still
put in their hours driving for the Red Cross
and entertaining at Walter Reed. With cars
parked in the driveway and nylons back in
circulation, Maryland became more interesting
every day. Returning fiances and husbands
claimed several of the girls, while the alumni
secretary was kept busy sending out pledge
pins to new-born Phi Sig's.
The toil and planning and the fun of rushing
were well rewarded by the wonderful group of
girls who were pledged. All nineteen made
their Phi Sig debut at a successful open house
dance. Several other open house affairs plus a
few dances, informal and formal, during the
year, made the group's social life very inter-
esting. Homecoming became even more mem-
orable than the girls had expected when their
"graveyard" won them second prize for house
decorations. Highlight of the year was the
tenth anniversary week end in May, held in
collaboration with most of the alums.
The annual dessert and bridge for the house-
mothers was even more enjoyable than in past
years. Exchange dinners, campus parties,
Mothers' Club meetings, and Founder's Day
added to an ever crowded social calendar.
However, all was nor plav for the Beta
Alphas this year. The chapter participated in
rhc raising of a fund for victims ot riieuniatic
fever, the sororitv's national project.
Tuesdays and Wednesdays found the house
practically deserted when the girls turned out
for the Women'sChorus, Diatnondhack, W.R.A.,
Hillel, Riding, Sociology, Dance, and Inter-
national Relations ( lubs.

The Intcrfratcrnity Council, an organization
which fosters better relationships between the
fraternities on campus and the administration,
is regaining its rightful prestige after a natural
war-time lag. The Council meets twice a
month to formulate plans for its social and
athletic activities, and to regulate men's rush-
ing functions.
The Council began the fall semester with
its iirst full formal rushing schedule since
before the war. Officers elected for that sc-

Gruber, Phi Delta Theta, secretary; and Dick
Bozman, Phi Delta Theta, treasurer. It was
this executive board that fostered the new
improved rushing procedure, believed by the
councilmen to be foolproof.
The Council was active in all sports events
as it operated as a division of the Intermural
Association. Socially, the members had a busy
time. The Council resumed its regular rotary
dances among the fraternities; but the climax
of the season was the winter formal, held at
the Indian Springs Country Club. This dance
was hailed by many as the most successful
dance of the semester given by any organi-
zation.
A committee headed by Charley Phillips,
Phi Delta Theta, was appointed by the presi-
dent to revise the point system for the Inter-
fraternity Council Activities Cup. This cup,
which is traditionally awarded at the spring
formal, was not in rotation during the war.
It was last awarded to Sigma Nu.
The Council started the spring semester by
reelecting Mike Zetts as president. Other
officers were: Roger Cohill, Alpha Tau Omega,
vice-president; Allyn Lehman, Kappa Alpha,
secretary; and Dick Bozman, Phi Delta Theta,
treasurer. With these officers the Council had a
very successful spring semester climaxed by an
Interfraternity picnic.

in 1930
Occupying their spacious brick home on
College Avenue after an absence of two years,
the men of Phi Delta Theta bounced back into
prominence with twelve active members and
twenty-hve pledges. Some of the brothers were
missing, though: Edwin Lentz walked to the
altar with Ginny Reid, A.O.Pi; Dick Terry
withdrew from school; Stanley Roth entered
the Army; Jack Frost joined the Merchant
Marine; and, Bob Bates left Maryland to enter
St. Lawrence University in New York. Don-
ning campus clothes and exchanging materials
of war for textbooks. Bill Lane returned from
the Merchant Marine; Buzz Sewell, Dick
Lodge, and George Barnes from the Army Air
Corps; and, Charley Phillips from Navy Pre-
Flight training. Returning from last year were
Dick Bozman, Chuck Ryan, Bill Grubcr, Emorv
A. Harman, Dawson Jarboe, Leland Cook, and
Harold Donofrio.
The first month was a gala one for the
Flyers. Dick Bozman, as president, saw to it
that the house jumped to countless rushing
affairs and activities. Open house functions
were started once again and became a great
success. Orchids were in order for the return-
ing veterans who distinguished themselves in
the service. Buzz Sewell and Dick Lodge
blasted Hitler from their flying fortresses and
bombers; George Barnes starred not only in
campaigns over the fields and mountains of
Italy, but also in the Spaghetti Bowl football
game; Bill Lane conveyed precious goods and
materials all over the world, while Chuck
Phillips served valiantly in Navy Pre-Flight.
All over the campus the impact of Phi Delta
Theta's return to active status was distinctly
felt as Emory A. Harman, secretary of the
fraternity, was appointed social chairman of
the Student Board. Emorv did a line job in
producing the i94<i Homecoming Dance, which
was one of the greatest in the history ot the
University, and also several regular Saturday
night informals. Dick Bozman took in the
monev and balanced the budget vi\. the Inter-
124
fraternity Council as Bill Gruber recorded the
minutes. Dauntless Hal Donofrio headed the
annual Tug of War between freshmen and
sophomores; Dick Lodge, Charley Phillips,
and Dauntless Don served on the ticket com-
mittee for the Homecoming Dance; and, George
Barnes returned to the Varsity football eleven.
Yes, the Phi Delts are on their way. Present
plans include an increased membership and
outstanding social events for the coming years.
Always present, too, will be a continued striv-
ing for the achievement of the true meaning
of the word "fraternity," a real spirit of
brotherhood.

in 1899
The Alpha Zcta chapter of Phi Kappa Sigma
quickly regained normality at the end of the
war. They now total twenty-two brothers and
sixteen pledges. At the beginning of the fall
semester, there were only four actives left from
the previous year; however, this situation was
quickly changed by the initiation of fifteen
new pledges and the return of many veterans.
The brothers moved into their house on Knox
Road in February and have been busy ever
since renovating it inside and out; President
Harold Thomas and House-manager Pete Def-
fert, former Naval Air Corps "Ace," have
been bossing the job.
Phi Kappa Sigma was very active in campus
activities. Pete Bozick served the campus as
manager of the Maryland Lacrosse team and
president of the Rossborough Club. \'ictor
Mullins managed the basketball team, while
Jim Murray took care of the football team;
Brother Bill Jameson assisted Pete Bozick with
the Lacrosse team. The Jazz Five, local band
sensation, was featured every Wednesday eve-
ning at the after-dinner dances and other cam-
126
pus affairs; this band was made up almost
entirely of Phi Kap's with Brother Cal Hub-
bard starring on the drums, Brother Frank Bull
at the piano, and Brother Dick Ruby on the
bass fiddle. Brothers Ruby, Hubbard, and
Bozick are members of Clef and Key, an hon-
orary musical group on campus. The chapter's
scholastic average was held up by Walter
Beam and Henry Howden. "Walt" was ac-
cepted into Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering
fraternity; and Henry was tapped by Phi Kappa
Phi, scholastic honorary, and Omicron Delta
Kappa, honorary leadership fraternity. Brother
Beam also played a leading part in the Varsity
Show. Brother Henry Fontana had a very busy
spring semester managing the softball team.
The Phi Kap's sponsored many social func-
tions during the year. These included their
traditional "Skull and Bones" dance, several
picnics, and informal dances and parties.

Wearers of the White Cross were prexicd
bv Brother Leon Etzler, who was ably assisted
by Paul Wilson, proconsul, John Newman,
secretary, John Maslin, treasurer, and Seth
Preece, magister. After a torrid summer, they
started the new semester determined to surpass
their achievements of previous years.
Since the Sigs were no longer in possession
of their house on Norwich Road, the fraternity
started the semester with nine stalwart mem-
bers, one pledge, and no house. Utterly undis-
mayed, however, the brothers plunged into
rushing and came up with twenty-four men.
All went well under the benign rule of Pledge
Master Collinson, and twenty new members
made the fraternity feel more like its old pre-
war self again.
Relighting the old smoking lamp at Al-
brecht's, the brothers quickly bounced back
into the swing of social events on the hill.
Among their many to be remembered social
affairs was the annual Sweetheart Dance, with
K.D. Mary Esther Hines elected to the envious
position of "Sweetheart of Sigma Chi." This
event was preceded and followed by rfiany
similarly successful social events.
As for their candidates for B.M.O.C., the
Sigma Chi's point with pride to Fred Safford,
who ably piloted the senior class to successful
graduation day, while Fred DeMarr followed
in his footsteps as vice-president of the fresh-
man class. Johnny Newman did his hit for the
boys as social chairman of the senior class,
and Jim Edwards deserves a cheer as the first
male member on the cheering squad in a long
time.
Nor have the Sigs neglected the athletic side
of campus life. Jack Heise took over the man-
agement of the basketball team with George
128
Gardineer, Charlie Marsteller, and Neal Hering
as scrubs. Letterman Les Smith cut another
notch in his gun by earning another letter on
the gridiron. Brother Burnside helped the
Maryland cause in track at the Southern Con-
ference.
The year has also been a prominent one in
the love life of many of the Sigma Chis . Broth-
ers Cullom and Carter were rudely ejected by
the coeds when they tried to visit their old
haunt in Calvert. Brother Page Chesser, Junior
Prom chairman, took the occasion of that
dance to announce his intention to wed and did
it a week later. Many others among the
brothers are no longer sporting their pins.
Thus, ever advancing the old standards of
fraternalism for which its stands, Sigma Chi
has moved forward to the close of a busy, suc-
cessful year. Previously undaunted by the
stress and manpower shortage of wartime and
showing a surprising ability to become part
of campus life, Sigma Chi fraternity looks
forward to a shining, peace-time era.

After a summer of Ocean City sunburns and
defense jobs, the members of Sigma Alpha
Epsilon started the fall semester under the
gavel of Pat Coyle.
Highlighting their fall social calendar were
several postgame dances and a most successful
Homecoming buffet supper. At the end of the
semester the S.A.E.'s were seen moving into
their new home behind the men's dormitories.
Among the returning veterans who had a hard
time fmding their new abode were Proudley,
Bohn, Stringer, Graham, Parsons, Johnson,
and Clem.
Besides making many changes and additions
to their new home, the brothers had a busy
spring semester under their newly-elected presi-
dent, Jet Tether. They sponsored the ever-
successful Founder's Day Banquet in Wash-
ington, D.C., which was attended by hundreds;
but the crowning event was the Winter Formal,
an annual affair which has taken its place as
one of the social highlights on campus.
Always active in sports, the S.A.E's proudly
boasted of three men on the Varsity Eleven:
Robert Crosland, Richard Johnston, and Walter
Bauman. The other brothers likewise partici-
pated in many intermural games on campus and
produced a winning basketball team.
In order to uphold their reputation for leader-
ship in campus organizations, the S.A.E.'s
were not only active in many clubs but held
numerous offices. Willie Schmidt was vice-
president of Pi Delta Epsilon, honorary jour-
nalistic fraternity, and chairman of Interfrat
Sports ; Frank Borges presided over the Newman
Club and sputtered Dutch as vice-president of
the German Club; Sports Editor Byrd Lucas
was assisted on the Diamondback by Reporter
Hodge and Cameraman Madison; and the musi-
cal brother, "Gump," served as vice-president
of the Clef and Key and the Men's Glee Club.
The boys were sorry to see "Colonel " Boyle
close his illustrious military career here as
captain of the R.O.T.C. and Student Band, but
they were proud to find him nominated to the
Who' s Who Of American Colleges and Universities.
Looking back through the year, it is easy
to note the huge strides the S.A.E.'s have made
130
during this their first peace-time year on cam-
pus; they have made themselves an organiza-
tion that Maryland is proud to have on cam-
pus. The brothers claim that much of the
credit for their success should go to Dr. Carrol
E. Cox, who gave them considerate, friendly
guidance as their faculty advisor.

With the return of many brothers from the
service, the Theta Chi's began to approach
their pre-war standards. Boasting thirty-six
members and fifteen pledges, they took an
active part in campus life and affairs.
The fall semester saw eight of the Theta Chi
members and pledges on the football squad,
with many playing first string. Under the
leadership of Dick Spencer as president, a full
social season was enjoyed. A series of exchange
dinners with the various sororities was started
and proved to be very popular. The Theta
Chi's were known for their participation in
campus activities, both socially and scholasti-
ALPHA PSI CHAPTER

cally. In November, Bill Eckhardt was elected
president of the sophomore class. Home-
coming brought the float and house decoration
which were absent the past few years. The
annual Christmas Formal successfully brought
1945 to a close.
Early in January eleven new members were
added to Theta Chi, increasing the number of
actives by almost fifty per cent. Between se-
mesters the entire inside of their house was
done over, and for the hrst time in over two
years the house was filled solely with Theta
Chi's.
During the last week of February a new
group of pledges was chosen after two weeks
of rushing. A great number of exservicemen
were numbered in this group. This pledge class
will long be remembered by the Theta Chi's;
among the pledges was ' 'Dixie' ' Walker, whose
untimely death shocked the entire campus.
Several of the members served as pall-bearers
and later journeyed to his home in Ohio.
"Dixie" was initiated postliumously, and a
plaque has been erected at the Chapter house
ill his honor.
Under the leadership of the newly elected
Jack Bucklcv. the spring semester was high-
lighted by a semi-formal dance tlie last of
March and the traditional Spring Formal at
132
the end of the semester. Other functions in-
cluded several informal record dances, and a
treasure hunt, the pledge banquet, card parties,
and the annual Founder's Day dinner in April.
June saw the graduation of Tom Graham
and Bill Talbott into the fields of psychology
and engineering respectively, while the other
actives began a long awaited vacation. Thus
the Theta Chi's completed another year, a
year characterized by many and varied changes.
With their membership increased by veterans
of matured understandings and definite goals,
they are insured of an organization that will
match and outmatch those of former years.

Proudly inhabiting the stately white-col-
umned colonial mansion on College Avenue,
the boys of Alpha Tau Omega have brought
another "gone, but not forgotten" year to a
close.
It was a year marked by the meritorious
achievements of the brothers in their many
lines of endeavor, especially those famous par-
ties which their return to their house made
possible. Highlighting these parties was the
successful reinstitution of the Interfraternity
Rotary Dances which followed the return to
their house in February. Another long to be
remembered event was the week-end house
warming party given by the pledges to wel-
come all returning veterans. All are agreed
that the house was enjoyably "warmed" and
that this marked the return of the A.T.O.'s to a
full and active campus life.
Fraternity elections saw Jerry Cleaver hand
the gavel over to Roger Cohill; Ray Hesse was
elected vice-president; Frank Licciotto, secre-
tary; Dick Mclnncs, treasurer and arm-twister;
and Chuck Beebe, pledge master. Rog Cohill
and Sam Allen w^ere welcomed back from the
Army and Navy Air Corps, respectively, to
start another school year with the Epsilon
Gamma Chapter of Alpha Tau Omega.
Nineteen pledges received words of welcome
and wisdom at the pledge banquet from faculty
brothers "Doc" White, Pete Getty, Paul
Walker, and Harry Rice. Pledging was aided
by the alumni and A.O.Pi sorority, who gave
rush parties in honor of the brothers.
For the Homecoming parade of floats, the
brothers joined Alpha Xi Delta sorority to
build a "World of Tomorrow" float represent-
ing the Old Liners of tomorrow daydodging
in an Ercoup. Second place honors were shared
with the Alpha Xi's. Old familiar faces seen
enjoying the Homecoming party included
Tommy Mullens, Major Bossy Mishtowt, Lt.
Clif Eisele, and Fred Johnson.
Pledges Jack Clark and Bob Kambies, living
134
up to the leadership traditions and ideals of
A.T.O., accepted the responsibility of steering
the freshman class through that hard first year
as president and sergeant-at-arms. Ray Hesse
was elected president of the junior class, and
Jerry Cleaver was elected vice-president of the
senior class. Other brothers occupying posi-
tions of prominence in campus life were Jack
MacVeigh, vice-chairmanof the Student Board,
Hugh Ross, captain of the band; Rog Cohill,
vice-president of the Interfraternity Council;
Ray Hesse, editor of the Diamondback and presi-
dent of O.D.K. honorary; Chuck Beebe, the
"Hermit" of the Dicimondback; and, Clark

DELTA PHI CHAPTER
YounAcA at VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE
in 1869
EstaWshcA at the UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
in 1914
Sigma Nu, retaining its active status during
the hard days of the war, has pushed always
forward toward those ideals for which the
white star has ever stood. They were aided
in this endeavor by those members returning
to college life after serving in the various
branches of the armed service. Among those
brothers welcomed back this year were Kenny
Bransdorf, J. C. Shields, Dick Hoddinott, Brian
Fcnnell, Warren Hoffecker, Herb Hardin, Ed
Hurson, Henry Sunier, Jack Gilmore, Danny
Boothe, Bill Ellet, Hal Berry, Tommy Jones,
and Jack Flynn. These men swelled the mem-
bership of the Delta Phi Chapter of Sigma Nu
to twenty actives and lifteen pledges.
The pledges and the actives were steered
through the hazardous waters by prexy Mike
Zetts, Vice-President Tom Chisari, Recorder
Marty Wolfe, Treasurer "Muscles" Mussel-
man, Sergeant-at-Arms Johnny O'Connor, and
Chaplain Les Daly. With this experienced aid,
the life of a pledge created respect and esteem
for the white star of Sigma Nu.
Always active in athletics, the Sigma Nu's
received the Interfrat touch-football crown as
they came through this season undefeated.
They bowed, however, to the Veteran's Club
in the championship game under the arcs of
Byrd Statium; there the Vets eked out a 6-0
victory in a close battle all the way. The
varsity sports were well represented by Sigma
Nu. Football claimed Tom Chisari, Les Daly,
Harry Bonk, Roy Morter, Scoop Evans,
Tommy Gibbons, Johnny Hughes, Emile Fritz,
and Vic Turyn. Jack Flynn was reelected cap-
tain t)f the basketball team and proved his
indispensibility with his "dead eye" on the
hard shots; pledges Joe Baumann, Johnny
Hughes, and Vic Turyn rendered able assist-
ance on the squad. Another indispensible man
in University sports was Tom Devlin, who was
noted for his track work on the 1940-41 team.
Sigma Nu was well represented also in many
organizations on the hill. Les Daly and "Gig"
Flynn served as chairman and vice-chairman
of the Student Government Association, re-
136
spectively. Bill HofF was reelected president
of the Veteran's Club, while pledge Tom Dev-
lin served as treasurer. Mike Zetts had a busy
time as president of the Interfraternity Council,
the Riding Club, and the "M" Club.
However, the Sigma Nu's have not been
neglectful in their study of "Sociology. ' ' They
presented their annual Sadie Hawkin's Dance,
which was enjoyed by each Daisy Mae and her
Li'l Abner, who suffered manfully with his
onion corsage. Other offerings in this line
were the "Pirate Ball," the Spring Formal,
and many other outstanding social events.
Although Sigma Nu is without a house at
present, they have a chapter room at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Holbrook, whose three sons
each wear the pin of Sigma Nu.

BETA KAPPA CHAPTER
Founded at WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY
in 1865
EstahUshed at the UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
in 1914
At the close of school last year, Kappa
Alpha's membership was already beginning to
dwindle under the everpresent threatening
finger of the draft board. So many of the
brothers had exchanged their collegiate clothes
for those of the Armed Forces and had laid
down their books and picked up a gun that
at the beginning of the fall semester only two
actives remained, Billy Greer and Wally Mann.
However, with the return of Erny Eckels and
Johnny Cochrane from service the chapter
slowly regained its strength and status. Before
the formal rushing season the fraternity had
only one remaining pledge, Ray Richards; but,
at this time four new pledges were given the
K.A. pledge pin to wear.
Despite such a small membership. Kappa
Alpha had two actives and a pledge on the
football team and another active on the boxing
team; these boys maintained the former K.A.
reputation of contributing good men to varsity
teams.
With a characteristically busy social cal-
endar, the fraternity held many formal and
informal rushing functions, a large number of
highly successful dances including the Christ-
mas Formal, and a hayride in the spring se-
mester.
February not only marked the beginning of
the spring semester, but it also witnessed the
return of eight more Kappa Alpha's from
service. These boys started to make plans for
taking over their house in the coming fall and
making next year equal to those of the pre-
ceding pre-war period.
In intramural sports Kappa Alpha had a
basketball team and a softball team which
provided a lot of competition for the other
fraternities.
Being very active socially and having the
reputation of an unselfish spirit, Billy Greer and
Al Lehman gave up their pins to two very
winsome lasses.
The brothers were also very active in student
138
organizations. Bob Forsberg and Al Lehman
held down the offices of treasurer and secretary
respectively in the Veterans' Club, while Billy
Greer served as vice-president of the sophomore
class. Al Lehman had enough time to serve
Kappa Alpha efficiently as president and to
make Phi Eta Sigma, engineering honorary;
that is a record that anyone would have a
hard time beating.
Although the chapter started out very limi-
ted in membership and much hampered by the
lack of a fraternity house, the brothers have
truly accomplished a great deal in bringing
the fraternity back to pre-war conditions. With
more and more brothers being released from
active service, the fraternity hopes to regain
and even supersede its pre-war status.
The 1945-46 year was one of advancement;
the 1946-47 year will also be marked by the
huge strides the brothers will make in the
social, athletic, and scholastic fields on the
Maryland campus.

At the beginning of the school year, the
eight brothers of Delta Sigma Phi combined
their efforts to make their chapter expand in
membership and pledged many new pledges.
These pledges were allowed under fraternity
rules to elect their own officers, who assisted
the brothers in pledge instruction. They were
initiated into the brotherhood on December
15, 1945. The men pledged were as follows:
Anthony Meushaw, social chairman; Milton
Sappe, the piano player; Robert Wheeler, lA
in the draft; William Callaway, known as
"colonel" among the boys; Edgar Moore, next
year's fraternity food advisor; Robert Shipley,
expert rifleman; William Poling, ace of the
football field; Donald Gleasner, Maryland's
three letter man; John Schrecongost, a Bryant
center; Donald Turner, aide to Ed Moore;
George Clendaniel, the student; Theodore Krug
and Richard Holzaphel, the boys with a car;
Walter Fehr, the only father; Bill Brown, an
ace on a baseball diamond; David Clawson,
the good R.O.T.C. handman; and Frank Dou-
vercs, a Navy man.
The original eight members have nor drop-
ped by the wayside. Carl Bell is acting as
treasurer; Edmund Besche is chaplain; Thomas
Johnson is vice-president; Andrew McCauley,
secretary; Charles ProfFen, former-president;
Gordon Gauinnit/, former-president of the
Duke chapter; James Spamcr, former-president;
and William Steele, president.
140
From the very beginning of the school year,
the boys had hopes of moving back into their
house; they started the year out by doing
some work inside and outside every week end,
and they are hoping to have things ready for
occupation by July.
Since "all work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy," the boys have succeeded in having
a full social season this year. Dances were
held at the chapter house on Friday nights
during the fall and spring. Their spring formal
at the Washington Aviation Country Club
was a grand finale to a big social season.
The boys as a whole answered to the plea of
the W.S.S.F. campus committee and led the
rest of the fraternities across the finish line, win-
ning an award in token of their efforts. In-
dividual brothers also received many honors:
Don Gleasner, Bill Poling, and John Schrecon-
gost were honored by the Touchdown Club;
Andrew McCauley was elected as Sergeant-at-
Arms of the new sernior class; and Charlie
Proffen won thePresident Walter Jaeger Award
for distinguished service to Alpha Sigma Chap-
ter.
All in all it was a most successful year.

With the return of pre-war conditions and an
enlarged membership the brothers of Alpha
Gamma Rho fraternity had a very successful
year on the Maryland campus. The fraternity
was represented by its members in almost every
organization on campus; this record will be-
come even greater as more and more boys
return from service.
At the beginning of the fall semester the boys
pledged eleven more members from various
parts of the state. These pledges were enter-
tained royally by many formal and informal
rush functions. With Bill Taylor as pledge
master, they received their proper training
from a boy who went through it all himself
once.
Realizing that they were hampered by the
lack of a fraternity house, the brothers began
making plans for reoccupying their old house,
which was rented to the Pi Beta Phi sorority
during the war.
Despite this handicap, however, the Alpha
Gamma Rho's did not want for social enter-
tainment during the year. During the latter
part of the spring semester, Alpha Gamma Rho
and Pi Beta Phi held a joint dance at their
house. In April they sponsored a very suc-
cessful spring formal with manv alumni mem-
142
bers in attendance; a great time was truly had
by all. From time to time radio dances were
held at the house in collaboration with the Pi
Phi's.
The greatest story of the year concerned the
fall weenie roast; Fred "I am a Virginia boy"
Hutchison ate ten hot dogs and drank in-
numerable bottles of soft drinks.
J. Maguire Mattingly, the Alpha Gamma
Rho president, was awarded a sweater and the
letter "M" for expert shooting on the Varsity
Rifle team; Pledge Walter Bowling also re-
ceived the same awards, establishing quite a
reputation for the fraternity as a whole.
Harold Thompson not only lost his fra-
ternity pin during the year, but he also walked
down the aisle to exchange vow^s with a win-
some lass in June.
This year was truly one that will long be
remembered by the boys; it was full of fun
and gayety, and yet it took a lot of hard work
to retain the status the fraternity had before
the boys left to win the war. The campus is
glad to welcome the boys back and is expect-
ing big things from the fraternity as a whole
in the future.

Lambda Chi Alpha returned to the campus
last September after a two years' absence while
the boys went out to light a war, abandoning
their books and campus clothes. Duke Kaz-
lauskas was the first member around in the
fall, and the initial thing that he did was to
seek brothers, who might also have strayed
back to the campus. He found Ralph Gies, a
student from the Eastern Shore, and the two
began to work as a club. They pledged and
initiated Harry Potts, a Florida lad, and then
there were three.
When the second semester began, among the
returning veterans the boys saw Joe Chilson,
Frank Seward, Barney Balch, and Nick Fotos.
Then there were seven. The struggles experi-
enced during the fall term were soon forgotten,
and the club operated in a grander scale, plan-
ning bigger and better affairs and functions.
Duke in some unknown way kept on being
president and appointed Barney Balch social
chairman, and the Lambda Chi's started to
gain prominence in campus activities.
The boys kept up their tradition of holding
the first spring formal of the season, and a
grand time was had bv all members, pledges,
alumni, and their quests.
With Brother Gies as chairman of tiie com-
mittees, plans were formulated to drop in on
the folks at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C., where Brother Harry Tru-
man from tile Missouri chapter lias a lease
until January, 1949.
The men, in spite of increased social activi-
ties and the necessary evil of studying, kept up
a busy rushing campaign and pledged Charley
144
Thompson, "Top" Hancock, "Tinker" Chance
and Gene Olmstead.
Brother Chilson took over the chapter pub-
lication and managed to put out two interest-
ing issues during the spring term with the aid
of Johnny Fales, the graduate advisor. A lot
of thanks, gratitude, and appreciation are
owed to Johnny. Brother Steward spent his
early Saturday mornings and almost every
day with his dogs, making up for the social
life that he missed during the war; he even
went, occasionally, to meeting. Nick Fotos
kept everybody happy in Annapolis by taking
occasional week-end trips there, forsaking the
Maryland campus, books, women, and slide
rule. Of Harry Potts we are not sure; the last
we saw of him he was trying to straighten out
the monthly financial report of last March.
It's been a long, hard way back from the
fall of '41, when the club started out with
thirty members and ended up the year with
only one surviving the call to arms. Ten more
of these boys are due back in September; and
with a house in their future postwar plans.
Lambda Chi should soon be back at the top
as a leading group on the Maryland campus.

Led by Prior Austin Oppcnhcim and later
by Dick London, the men of Sigma Alpha Mu
experienced another very successful season in
all fields of endeavor.
Socially, the highlights of the year were un-
doubtedly the formal dances held in Baltimore,
which were sponsored by the Alumni Club
there. In addition, the outstanding spring
week end and the numerous smaller dances and
parties will long be remembered.
Ranking first among eleven fraternities was
the crowning glory to S.A.M.'s scholastic ef-
forts. Individual honors go to Jay Bisgyer who
attained the memorable position of president
of the freshman honorary scholastic fraternitv.
Sparked by Captain Howard Smith and
"Flash" Bill Leizman, who made the all-star
team, S.A.M. played second in the struggle for
the football crown. While not quite as suc-
cessful in the other sports, the lads of Sigma
Alpha Mu nevertheless entered a team in every
interfraternity competition.
Captain Howard Rymland led the S.A.M.
contingent in the R.O.T.C. while Norm Katz
became Sports Editor of the Diatnondback and
Publicity Chairman of the Student Religious
Life Committee. Aside from the men in the
Veteran's Club, the fraternitv was well repre-
sented in other fields of extra-curricular activi-
ties: Dick London, Sam Wohl, and Norm Katz
in the Glee Club; Austin Oppenheim on the
Interfaith Committee of Hillel; and, Eugene
Fink and others out for lacrosse.
The house, with the addition of some new
furnishings, was well filled by the returned
veterans; but the spirit of the men of Sigma
Alpha Mu was dampened when they received
word that two brothers would never return :
Lr. Bill Birmbaum and Ensign Stanley Mann.
Two mergers with A.E.Phi and one with Phi
Sig were accomplished within the past year.
Irv Jacobs and Mort Sarubin walked up the
aisle with local lasses, while Captain Irv Rea-
mer travelled to Washington University to lind
his spouse.
With Rolf Bcrcowitz as treasurer and Norm

The 1945-46 school year blossomed forth
with a promise of a bright future for the Tau
Beta Chapter of Tau Epsilon Phi; the returning
veterans had brought that needed punch to the
fraternity as well as to other campus organiza-
tions. Such men as Robert Bacharach, Irwin
Noble, Louis Pressman, Murray Leisman,
Arthur Epstein, Earle Wolfe, Howard Shear,
and Charlie Kramer all helped by adding their
hard won experiences to the working of the
fraternity. With a newly decorated house and
with new furniture, the brothers really began
to realize that peace once more prevailed and
the typical collegiate spirit had returned to
campus.
In the realm of sports Bob Lewis was sprint
man on the track st]uad, and from all reports
he is mighty hard to beat on a tennis court;
Foggy Noble and Harvey Morganstein were
track managers; Sid Sterman continued to ex-
change blows in the boxing ring; and, Marvin
Boss starred on the lacrosse team. The thespian
was Erwin Hoffman, who played a convincing
role as the father in "'Kiss and Tell." Close
behind Irv was Sid Sterman who played a
much different role in "Strictly from Hunger."
Sidney Galler of the Zoology Department and
Albert Aaron of the Physics Department were
included on the faculty list.
In February the undergraduates, as well as
the Alumni, participated in theirfirst "Jubilee"
since 1940 at the Southern Hotel in Baltimore.
It was a great get-together for both voung and
old.
Men who were elected as officers for the
spring semester were; Robert Bacharach, chan-
cellor; Fred Sappersticn, vice-chancellor; Rob-
ert Eichberg, scribe; Howard Shear, burser;
Louis Pressman, warden; Irwin Noble, stew-
ard; and. Sylvan Freeman, historian. A spirit
was backing these men that gave the T.E.P.'s
a real lift and a bright outlook for the future.
The varied group ot pledges included:
Charlie Kramer, K\ Fried, Marvin Boss, Louis
Ruttenberg, Jake Milliman, Herbert White,
148
Len Grossman, AI Gordon, Jerry Gotkin, and
Frank Hirsch.
A tremendous spring formal, which was held
in Washington, D.C., brought the T.E.P.'s
highly successful social season to a close. With
few exceptions all the men who left school to
enter the armed forces were in attendance; it
resulted in a reunion that will long be remem-
bered by the boys.
The 1945-46 year has been the beginning
of a new era and one of the outstanding years
in the history of the fraternity. With many
more veterans returning in the fall, the fra-
ternity is looking forward to next year as its
greatest year on the Maryland campus.

Each yearOmicron Delta Kappa, men's hon-
orary, taps those junior and senior men who
have been most outstanding in scholastic and
social activities on campus. Membership in
O.D.K. is one of the highest honors that can
be awarded a college man.
Five indispensable qualifications for member-
ship in O.D.K. are character, leadership, fel-
lowship, scholarship, and adherence to demo-
cratic ideals. Character is the first and chief
consideration for membership. Secondly, the
candidate must excel in one of the five follow-
ing phases of college life: scholarship; ath-
letics; social and religious affairs; publications;
or speech, music, and dramatics. Finally, the
O.D.K. must rank scholastically among the
upper thirty-five per cent of the men students
in his college.
At an informal tapping held in January,
Henry Howden, Edward Zeigler, and Ray
Hesse were initiated. Until this initiation.
Bob Spence was the only student member of
O.D.K. on the campus. The four active faculty
members are Professor Russel B. Allen, Dr.
Ronald Bamford, Dean James H. Reid, and Dr.
Charles E. White.

love of learning rules the world, " the organi-
zation encourages scholarship and character by
offering membership to seniors who rank in
the upper ten per cent of their respective col-
leges. It has given recognition to more than
eight hundred Maryland students since its
founding at the University in June, 192.0.
Many students look forward to the day when
they might become a member of Phi Kappa
Phi; these members henelir much from the rich
associations thev have with alumni members.

for entrance an average of VS '" "^h^' '^''^t
semester or in both semesters of the freshman
year.
Although the war has curtailed the activi-
ties of the society, its members have tried to
carry on as a functioning organization and have
endeavored to keep in contact with its members
now in the armed forces. With Bernard Lu-
barsky as president and Edward Zeigler as
secretary-treasurer, the honorary has struggled
through the year with an extremely small
membership. Because of such a decrease in
membership, much of the burden of keeping the
organization active has fallen upon the shoul-
ders of Mr. C^arl Hintz, the facuitv advisor.
Ed Zeigler left the University in January;
but, while he was on campus, he served as
president of the Lutheran Club. He was
elected to O.D.K. and Phi Kappa Phi, in addi-
tion to many engineering honoraries and so-
cieties. Bernard Lubarsky, who graduates this
June, has also been very active in campus
activities on Engineering Hill and was secre-
tary to Tau Beta Pi. Irving Kuzminsky, who
took Ed Zeigler's position of secretary-treas-
urer, was drafted in February; this left AUyn
Lehman, second semester president, to carry
on with the help of Mr. Hintz.
With normal times returning to the L'ni-

again to build uji its membership and regain
its place as the leading freshman honorary on

Alpha Chi Sigma was established at the
University of Wisconsin in i90i; the Alpha
Rho chapter was established at the University
of Maryland in 1917. It is a professional chem-
ical and chemical engineering fraternity whose
objectives are "to bind its members in a tie of
true and lasting friendship, to strive for the
advancement of chemistry both as a science
and a profession, and to aid its members by
every honorable means in the attainment of
their ambitions as chemists throughout their
mortal lives."
Although the war seriously curtailed the
number of its members, the fraternal spirit
was ever-present; the chapter remained active
throughout the war, as several of its members
were engaged in war research here on campus.
Now that peace-time conditions have returned
and have brought back many of its former
members, the chapter is looking forward to
future years of even greater achievement along
scientific lines.
The big activities of the year included sev-
eral picnics, a tri-chapter Founder's Day Ban-
quet and tri-chapter initiation; the Alpha Pi
Chapter at George Washington University and
the Washington Professional Chapter combined
with the Maryland chapter for the latter two
events. The organization also sponsored a series
of talks by various members of the faculty
whose interests were in fields other than
chemistry.
This national fraternity sponsors the Ameri-
can Chemical Society Award in pure chem-
istry. Here at the University the Alpha Rho
chapter gives a year's membership to the Ameri-
can Chemical Society to the graduating senior
who has the highest scholastic average in
chemistry.

As an honorary bacteriological society, Sig-
ma Alpha Omicron has established itself on the
Maryland campus as an incentive and oppor-
tunity for those whose field of interest lies in
bacteriology. The principal aim of the society
is to maintain and cultivate an interest in the
profession through a close and happy associa-
tion with the Department of Bacteriology
itself; through this well-knit relationship, S. A.
O. entertains the privilege of sending forth
from Maryland competent and enthusiastic
bacteriologists.
This year Sigma Alpha Omicron has estab-
lished the precedent of forming a pledge class
which is composed of bacteriology majors who
are interested in learning the future of their
chosen profession. This knowledge is obtained
through enlightening lectures delivered by out-
standing, well-informed men in the field of
bacteriology.
In line with the physical improvements in
the department, S.A.O. has started to furnish
a room which will serve as a meeting place
for majors. As an annual enterprise, the mem-
bers publish a Newsletter which reviews the
work of both S.A.O. and the department. At
the end of the school year, the most outstand-
ing student in bacteriology is selected by the
society and his name is inscribed on a plaque
containing the names of such students from
the year 1931 to the present.
Final initiation into Sigma Alpha Omicron
is extended to those majors who show interest
in the society and profession and whose scho-
lastic record merits membership.

Sigma Tau Epsilon, the women's honorary
recreation association, was established on the
campus of the University of Maryhind in 1940
under the guidance of Miss Gwendolyn Drew,
a former member of the Women's Physical
Education Department.
Since its establishment, Sigma Tau Epsilon
has worked in coordination with the Women's
Recreation Association in sponsoring intra-
mural sports. This year they held after-dinner
dances, and basketball, badminton, bowling,
tennis, and softball tournaments were spon-
sored.
Founded to encourage leadership, good sports-
manship, and to stimulate participation in
recreational activities, Sigma Tau Epsilon is
the highest honor one may achieve in the
Women's Recreational Association.
Requirements for membership are good sports-
manship, leadership, voluntary participation
in W.R.A., outstanding service in the lield
of women's sports, and an all-time scholastic
average of 1.5. Members must be upperclass-
nicn.
Tapping took place at the annual W.R.A.
banquet in the spring. The Sigma Tau Epsilon
trophy was also presented at this banquet to
the winner of the girls' intramural basketball
tournament. The annual basketball gathering
was held for the alumnae and undergraduates;
and, the annual newspaper. The Chatter, was
distributed to the alumnae.
Officers for the year were: Betty Jackson,
president; Jean Burnside, vice-president; Louisa
White, secretary; and Jerry Pfeiffer, treasurer.
Dr. Rachel J. Benton served as faculty advisor
throughout the year.
Other members were: Roberta Burdette, Ma-

honor a girl in the College of Home Economics
can receive. With the recognition and pro-
motion of scholarship, leadership, and research
in the field of home economics as its goal, the
society carefully selects its members. The
chapter taps fifteen per cent of the girls having
senior rating and five per cent having junior
rating for membership in the organization.
Early in November initiation was held for
the new members, and Omicron Nu activities
for the year began. In December an apron sale
and fruit cake raffle were held. An educational
field trip to the Bureau of Home Economics in
Bcltsville was planned for January. March
brought an "In Like a Lion, Out Like a

Women's intramurals arc directed by the
Women's Recreation Association under the
sponsorship of the Department of Physical
Education for Women. With the cooperation
of daydodgers, dormitory and sorority girls,
recreational activities continued to flourish
on the campus. A complete and well-rounded
program of athletic activities were presented
for the Maryland coeds, and all the familiar
sports featured were enthusiastically accepted
by the girls.
Each sport is managed by a different member
of the Women's Recreation Association board
and her assistant. A sports representative from
each house of residence cooperates with the
manager in organizing and carrying through
tournament competition in all sports.
Fall activities included hockey, inter-house
bowling, and soccer. During the winter season
inter-house and inter-class basketball was of-
fered. The spring quarter presented inter-house
volleyball and individual competition in arch-
ery, tennis, and badminton.
For the 1945-46 season the teams that came
out on top in basketball ranked as follows:
Sigma Kappa, Calvert, and Tri Delt; and in
bowling: Kappa Delta, Anna Arundel, Mar-
garet Brent, and Alpha Delta Pi. In the 1945
spring volleyball tournament Alpha Delta Pi

(^OVe Band
Maryland's R.O.T.C. Band provides much
more than justmarchingmusicfortheR.O.T.C;
it also furnishes a musical outlet for talented
students. The Military Department, being
very exacting in its musical taste, demanded
much more work than the usual four drill
hours; and, its members worked very hard.
The band's performances were not limited to
military functions; its notes were heard at all
Maryland football games in College Park and
Washington. At the basketball-boxing double-
headers in the winter, the band also helped the
student body present Maryland songs. In addi-
tion to playing at the games, the band provided
the musical background for the now famous
tapping ceremonies of Omicron Delta Kappa,
honorary leadership fraternity. Decoration
Day and Maryland Day ceremonies would
have been lost without the band's support.
Maryland's band impressed everyone with
its precision and fine playing, and much credit
goes to Sgt. Otto Seibeneichen for his patience
and leadership. In 1943 the present uniform
of the band members appeared, a black and
orange fourragere.
Maryland's Student Band was more than a
meager collection of inexperienced, uninspired
horn-blowers and drum-thumpers. It was a
well-organized, well-led unit which served the
school in many ways.

Wc need look no farther than Maryland's
1945 schedule to find the utmost in football
thrills. It all began in September when an-
nouncement was made of the acquisition of
former Navy Pre-flight coach, Paul Bryant,
and his staff. Such men as Joe Drach, Gene
Kinney, Ed Schwarz, and Francis Evans, who
followed Bryant to Maryland, joined with
lettermen of the 1944 season and returning
servicemen to begin a spirited season which
brought one of the most favorable terminations
in the University's history.
Before September was over, the Old Line
squad made an auspicious debut by crushing
Guilford College with a score of 60-6. With
their spirits high, the team prepared to rout
the University of Richmond and did so to the
tune of ii-o. This, the Terp's second victory,
again saw Harry Bonk and Bill Poling as star
scorers.
October ii was test and proof of Maryland
grid might, as they gave the previously un-
defeated United States Merchant Marine Aca-
demy a set-back. Bobby Piker set the scoring
pace with two touchdowns, with 11-6 as the
final score.
Hopes of a perfect schedule were lost when at
Blacksburg, Virginia, V.P.I, scored an eight
point victory over our Alma Mater. The
winners plaved hard and well against the Old
Liners, who definitely were not up to their
best that day. An anxious crowd at Morgan-
174
town tensely witnessed W.Va. tie the score at
13-13. Bill Poling was the actual point-maker
on all occasions, with Bob Crosland, Sam Behr,
and, again, Harry Bonk in the limelight. A
third disappointment came on November 3 as
fans observed a 33-14 slaughter handed us by
William and Mary College. The Liners' able
performance seemed to warrant a different sit-
uation that day; but, fate ruled against us,
and the Indians scored once on a fumble and
again on a blocked punt. It was in this contest,
however, that the crowd first viewed the
Poling-to-Gleasner pass which proved so spec-
tacular in later events.
None other than General Marshall, Chief of
Staff, turned up to behold Maryland's over-
throw of V.M.I, on Homecoming day. Our
squad jumped back into Southern Conference
contention as they outplayed the Lexington
men, concluding with an important 38-0 vic-
tory. This was, indeed, a happy ending to the
Terp's losing streak. Maryland's impenetrable
forward wall brought the opponents' running
attacks almost to a complete standstill. Joe
Pietrowski was the day's star, with Bonk,
Gleasner, Behr, Piker, and Greer also pounding
their way into the end zone for the count.
"The game of the year" took place in
Griffith Stadium on the cold afternoon of
November Z4. The University of Virginia,
previously undefeated and untied, sank to low
ebbs after their trouncing by the University of
Maryland. The black and gold eleven reached
unexpected football heights in front of spec-
tators filled with excitement, wonder, and
admiration. Passing, which was supposed to
cut the throats of the Terps when administered
by Virginia, only proved fatal to the latter
when put into practice by the Terps them-
selves. Threatening the Virginia men through-

out the tilt. It was Red Poling's pass, in the
final minute of play, received by End Don
Gleasner, that put the Marylanders on
the victorious side. Another great factor in
the win was the sensational 90-yard run by
Sam Behr. It was a day to order for the
Terps.
As an anti-climax, our gridmen triumphed
over the University of South Carolina, 19-13,

led to a score by Bonk, with Ed Schwartz
making the extra point. Bob Crosland, on an
intercepted pass, went over the goal line, as
did Behr in the third quarter. Thus, the Mary-
land football team ended a successful year in a
height of glory.
In January a note of disappointment was
evident, in many as it became known that

accept a position at another university; how-

team will miss such notables as Don Gleasner,
George Barnes, and Tom Chisari, but will
certainly welcome Vic Turyn, Pat McCarthy,
John Schrecongost, and others. With all these
men and a lot of school spirit, the Terp 1946
football record should equal, if not surpass,

This year saw the beginning of Coach Bur-
ton Shipley's twenty fourth season as basket-
ball and baseball coach at the University of
Maryland. He had high hopes of producing
a championship team after looking over the
prospective players. The Old Line five had
difficulties getting settled and underway; this
was evident as the Old Liners dropped six out
of their first nine games. During this time,
the former gridiron men, Don Gleasner, Vic
Turyn, Bill Poling, and Pete Pinocci, reached
their best form, and, with the help of two GI's,
Bill Brown and Johnny Edwards, the team
started going places.
The Old Liners' luck began when they met
Duke and upset the previously unbeaten Blue
Devils with a score of 43-38. It was here when
the Gleasner, Edwards, Pinocci, Brown, Turyn
combination really began to click in grand
stvle. Maryland's quintet rolled up six vic-
tories our of the next seven contests scheduled.
Their only defeat at this time was at the hands
of the North Carolina University powerhouse
with a score of 33-3 i . This tilt was one of the
most exciting events ever witnessed at College
Park.
After this series of wins Bill Brown became
ill and Johnny Edwards was added to the sick
list with a sprained ankle. These two players
had to remain on the bench and were a loss
to the team for the rest of the season.
Despite this fact, the Old Liners met one of
the nation's top quints. West Virginia, and
fought to the hnish onlv to go down in defeat

at the last minute with a 35-33 score. It was
at this time that some notable plays were
executed by "Red" Poling and Bill Elias.
After losing Jack Flynn, an ace marksman
for two previous seasons, a weak, yet un-
daunted, team was sent on their last trip to
meet Army and Kings Point. Army defeated
the Old Liners 52.-2.5, and the Kings Pointers
downed the quint 48-31 in an effort to make up
for their earlier defeat.
When they were really clicking, the Old
Liners were labeled as good "dark horse"
possibilities for winning the Southern Con-
ference Tourney; however, in the conference
meet, North Carolina ran over a weak Mary-
land team with a score of 54-2.7.
Although the Old Liners went down in
defeat, a season of thrills was provided for the
many fans who witnessed the tilts.

Coach Miller
With Colonel Harvey L. "Heinie" Miller
back at the helm after five years service in the
Marines, Maryland Mittmen were once again
under the leadership of an able coach who
produced two Southern Conference champion-
ship teams.
On hand for training were Ken Malone, Jose
Fossas, Bill Filbert, and Bill Greer, all veterans
of last year's squad. Lou Brown, a war veteran
of the i9th Division who was the middle-
weight champ of that organization, Dave
Mills, an ex-sailor heavyweight, Jose Carro,
from Puerto Rico, and Phil Rogers, a 117
pounder, were among the prospectives who
turned out for training.
A tough schedule consisting of only two
non-service teams faced the squad at the begin-
ning of the season. The Terps made their
debut at Virginia and were defeated by the
first row: Mills, Malone, Brown, Maloiicy, Grccr, Filbert, Richards, Fossas.

experienced Cavalier squad 5-3.
In January, Maryland met Army on home
ground. Phil Rogers and the famed duet of
Maloney and Malone staggered their opponents
and brought victory. Bobby Dobbs hammered
a win over Dave Mills and returned a 5-3
decision.
Tommy Maloney suffered his only defeat
of the season at the hands of Stan Wheatley,
Kings Pointer, and a final 4^-3 >2 count was
received. Maryland racked up a 5-3 count over
South Carolina; this was followed closely by
victory over Kings Point. After that the hope-
ful Old Liners were subdued again by Army
and the Coast Guard.
The final match was held at Catholic Uni-
versity. The 5-3 victory seemed futile when
Maryland learned of the tragic death of Dixon
Walker, who was knocked out in the first
round of the 165 pound bout.

The University of Maryland has suffered a great loss in the untimely
death of James Dixon Walker at the close of the boxing season. Al-
though he had been here at the University for only a short time,
"Dixie" had won the esteem of those with whom he had come in
contact. He was a fine athlete and teammate and always held true to
the Maryland spirit. His absence has been felt by all.
It is to him who shall never again don the Black and Gold, that we
dedicate this portion of the Terrapin.

In the fall of 1945, the first track squad that
Maryland has had since 1943 turned out for
practice. Along with the return of track came
some of Maryland's leading track men. Colo-
nel Geary F. "Swede" Eppley once again
resumed his position as head coach after serv-
ing in the Army. He received as his assistant
Captain Jim Kehoe, former track ace, who also
was released from the Army.
During February the University of Maryland
sent seven men to the Southern Invitation Meet
at Chapel Hill, N.C. Ed Matthews broke the
tape in the 440 while Tom Devlin placed sec-
ond. In the field events Jim Kurz took third
in the shot; and, the relay combination of
Mathews, Devlin, Price, and Smit topped off
the Maryland victories by capturing the mile
relay.
The Old Liners met their opponents in nine
spring events. From the showing that has
been made this season, Maryland may once
again have the outstanding team that was
theirs in the past years.
