The ETONIAN of past years has in a pictorial way pre-
served the history of Elizabethtown College to the satisfaction
of our entire college constituency; and the Editor-in-Chief and
his staff of this year's edition have labored faithfully in pre-
senting scenes and in recounting activities of the past two
years.

To the present student body this volume will become
priceless after college days are over. For it will then bring
back memories of the struggle for victory on the gymnasium
floor; of the many incidents in connection with dramatic and
musical performances; of trips to conventions, churches and
other colleges; and of associations with members of the various
clubs and organizations on College Hill. Each student should
desire to own a volume of this graphic representation of his
college days.

To alumni and friends of the college the ETONIAN af-
fords a genuine opportunity to see. the onward march of the
college in its various organizations. It is through this book
that many young people first become acquainted with the life
of Elizabethtown College, and it is hoped that the ETONIAN
will find a prominent place in the homes and place of business
of our alumni and friends.

Everyone perusing the pages of this book will become
familiar with the life of the college in a way that is impossible
through the ETOWNIAN or the college catalogue. The pro-
gressive life of the institution is most strikingly manifested by
a comparison of the ETONIANS over a period of years. In
these volumes can be seen the beginnings of organizations, the
progress they have made, and even the end of some forms of
activities. Changes from year to year in administrative poli-
cies are also evident as the pages are turned.

May this year's ETONIAN prove to be a true portrayal of
the life and activities of both student body and faculty, and as
the years go by may it bring back to its readers many pleasant
recollections of the profitable years spent in association with
those who became their intimate friends.

Masonic Homes. He is a most studious and ambitious young

famous for that "horse laugh and his wit and cleverness.

Write the Class History, I murmur, wondering if this is another bad dream. Be-
fore I can decide whether it is, I have promised to perform that service for which I do
not feel qualified. I don't know our History. It doesn't seem like History, for past
and present are strands intermixed and no order seems to be forthcoming. Was it
yesterday that we arrived on the campus and excitedly entered into the social events
of the first week? Was it three years ago that we were the first class to pull the
Sophomores in the lake? That Freshman party which wasn't broken up. The class
meetings and the field meet. I don't know who won but I remember a hot argument
about something. Bull sessions, speeches for Expression. Term papers, frogs in the
laboratory and in the lake. Ball team beats Juniata in eleventh inning. And the year-
books written full by our fellow students, a house party at Mount Gretna. And, then
we were Juniors. Not so many people to stand aside for. Not so many of us. Not
so long until, we like our classmates, would be passing on the knowledge we had
learned. Peace propaganda. Hot religious discussions. Student council meetings.
Banquet with Seniors. Exams, Commencement; next year it will be us. Back again
waiting to register. Lots of new faces. Roller skating. Practice teaching. Pictures
for yearbook. Pep meetings. Basketball team really beats Juniata. Snow hike.
Spring fever hits the Campus. More baseball. More work. Classmates get into
medical school. Some have jobs. Some still looking. It will all soon be History,
but it isn't yet.

This dark-haired lass from Columbia can usually be found
where there is dancing, laughter and gayety. She is training
for the Commercial teaching field and will, we feel sure, pro-
duce many efficient stenographers, secretaries, and bookkeepers
wherever she may be employed.

This quiet, thoughtful Junior is the last of a rapidly vanishing
race; he is a plodder. Lacking that impulsiveness and impetu-
osity which so often proves detrimental, it is Ralph's method of
consistently striving toward a goal without giving up which we
admire. Success is bound to result from such perseverence.

Bob is a thoroughgoing fellow with a mighty fair sense of
humoi. Living off campus he .has to make a five-mile trip every
day for his education Since he has a true sense of values
and is determined to get ahead, we feel that he will succeed
as a Commercial teacher.

Corpulent Johnnie is characterized by his flashing defensive
wit, which bears no marks of a sword thrust. Moroseness
vanishes with the morning vapors when the sunshine of his

Sam is an ardent political fan, but his prophecies are not in-
fallible. His convictions, however, are to be commended. It
is in science that his major interests lie. Next year Sam will
enter medical school and in a few years will be bringing health
and happiness to the homes of his classmates, who knows?

The classic question of yesteryear, "where's Elmer?", receives

added significance upon our campus. For. whenever someone

is needed to take over a responsibility or to look after a task.

Elmer is often the one who's sought. In his varied fields of

interest, particularly the ministry and religious service, he

has done commendable work during his three years, here.

Meet the wisecracking milkman from the Masonic Homes,
whose efficient and capable handling of the managership of
the basketball and tennis teams has made him a valuable per-
son on College Hill. Floyd's business-like methods are sure
to be of aid in future life, especially in his chosen field of
commercial work. The best of luck. Floyd!

The keen wit and humor of this light-haired genius has given

us many a laugh. Although he doesn't talk much, when he

does it's woiih listening to. Aaron is also known for his

intellectual attainments and for his friendly, helping attitude.

No one who has ever come to him seeking help has gone away

empty-handed.

Quni&t (2Ul± iihtotu

It was September 1935 and all over the land the students were returning to school,
many of them to institutions where they were entire strangers. For the fifty-seven
freshmen at Etown that feeling of strangeness quickly wore off with the usual round
of social activities designed to make them feel at home.

After a few weeks of college life, in which they learned that they were also ex-
pected to work, they began to realize that there were certain traditions and regulations
which had to be respected. Although they chafed under these seemingly useless re-
strictions, they later recognized their value in making them into better men and women.

The first attempt at organization in the class resulted in the election of Harold
Saylor as president. That the choice was a satisfactory one is proved by the fact that
he has been serving in that position ever since. Their president has just as enviable
a record in athletics, having been catcher on the baseball team for the past three years.
Other Juniors active as athletes, both in basketball and baseball, include Sam Jones,
Elmer Gleim, John Espenshade, and "Tam" Baugher. James Martin reached top place
in music on the campus as president of the A Cappella Choir this year. As editor of
the Etownian, Albert Bzura deserves credit for his thankless job of disseminating the
news. However, a list of all the faithful public servants in the class would include
every one, for all were active in one field or another, and often in several.

EST.1 H fHa

St .j T;f,f/(iV-

Nor have the Juniors lagged socially. As Freshmen they were entertained by the
Sophomores at a Christmas party, and in the second semester sponsored a roller skat-
ing party of their own. At the close of the sophomore year they held the traditional
house party at Mt. Gretna, accompanied by Prof, and Mrs. Wenger.

Most of the girls of the class "graduated" to various elementary schools after
two years, leaving no more than six of the female gender among the Juniors.

It is not the desire of the class to boast of its past accomplishments. They only
regret that they have not been able to do more. At any rate they have whole-heartedly
entered into the idea of becoming educated for service. The work of the class lies
in the future. As individually they build on such solid foundations as they have laid
in college, they will realize that the aim of each should add to the common good of all.

The senior year is looked forward to with pleasure. Plans are already being
made for the production of a class play. Whatever may be done next year, one
thing is certain: The class of '39 will have received more good from college than
they can ever hope to pay for. This realization should give them the firm resolve to
live the ideals of the college, and to share among others the good things they have re-
ceived here.

College days will soon be gone, but they will always live on in memory and exert
an influence on all the future life of each student. That influence will spur him on to
attempt greater tasks and direct him toward a richer and fuller life. As Tennyson
has said it :

"I am a parr of all that I have met;

Yet all experience is an arch wherethrough

Gleams that untraveled world whose margin fades

For ever and for ever when I move.

How dull it is to pause, to make an end,

To rust unburnished, not to shine in use!

As though to breathe were life!"

The crisp September days of 1936 found sixty-nine eager Freshmen crowding
the registration office, social rooms, and dormitories. After the first days of organiza-
tion and adjustment, the class began to attract the interest of older students. In spite
of the hampering Freshman regulations, the young beaux and belles soon blossomed
into social prominence. The crowning social event of the year was the Freshman
party, when the men amply proved their ability to protect refreshments from the in-
vading Sophomores.

The second year at Elizabethtown found members of this ambitious class uphold-
ing an unusual record for extra-curricular activity. "Chick " Baugher has 'won recog-
nition for two years of hard work on the basketball and tennis teams. Not to be
outdone in athletics is "Red" Meyer, the efficient baseball player. Nor have the men
wore all the athletic honors: among the women basketball players is Lena Brightbill
whose shots seldom fail.

In musical ability, the class rivals experienced upperclassmen. Chapel audiences
have welcomed the appearances of the Sophomore quartets. The most outstanding
soprano is Floy Myer, who had the leading role in "The Bartered Bride." None the
less famous is Bob Adams, the little man with the big voice.

The Class is proud of its four ministers, Adams, Ebersole, Harting and Baughter.
This abundance of spiritual advisers may account for the great interest in Student
Volunteer and "Y" work. The Class has contributed two members to the Student
Volunteer Cabinet, three to the "Y" Cabinets, and a host of active members to both
organizations.

Dramatic talent has not slighted the Sophomore Class. Of the eight Sock and
Buskin members, five had large parts in "Penrod," Helen Duder playing the leading
role.

The Etownian staff has welcomed among its reporters a large number of Sopho-
mores. His peppy sports news has given prominence to Brandt's work. Leister and
Kulp have been efficient members of the business staff.

As the triumph of its leadership in extra-curriculars, the class had the privilege of
seeing three of its members, Adams, Ebersole and Baugher elected to the Candles.

With plans for a rollicking house party, at which to rest from two years of ener-
getic work and to strengthen class ties, the class is drawing near the close of its
second year, proud of its record as a group "strong in will to strive, to seek, to
find, and not to yield."

The Freshman Class that entered Elizabethtown College in September of 1937
was given a big reception in the form of socials, a skating party, a picnic supper, etc.
But then why shouldn't the reception be big? For it was the largest Freshman class
that has ever entered Elizabethtown College, having sixty-six members in all.

In the intramural sports, baseball, soccer and basketball, they were unsuccessful,
but they made a big flash in varsity sports. Stan Disney, center, and Ross Coulson,
guard, were our contributions to the varsity basketball squad. And we might add, two
very good contributions. The Frosh were well represented on the varsity baseball
squad by "Dreamy" Day and Stan Disney on the mound, Charles Walker behind the
bat and Emory Stauffer in the field. On the tennis team Bob Keller carried the
Freshman banner.

The Class of '41 collaborated with the Class of '40 to set a new custom at the
annual Freshman party. In previous years it had been the custom for the Sophs to.
try to crash the gate at the Freshman party. This attempt often resulted in property
damage to the gymnasium. This year the Dean of Men, Dr. Musick, parleyed with the
presidents of the two classes arranging a peaceful settlement. When the Frosh served
their refreshments, the Sophs entered, bringing their own refreshments. When the re-
freshments disappeared the Sophs also disappeared, allowing the Frosh to carry on
peaceably. We hope they have set a precedent for future classes.

Having excelled in athletics and socials, the Frosh have not been behind academi-
cally. We have our scholarship students in the persons of Betty Forney, that
attractive miss from East Petersburg; Betty Groupe, a daily commuter from Middle-
town; Anna Carper, an intellectual product of Palmyra; Charles Walker, that wit and
philologist from Gap; and finally the hometown John Howard Speidel.

Considering all possibilities we cannot help but say that the Class of '41 is bound
to make a big splash at dear old E. C. and in the world after College.

The Y. M. C. A. has played a very active part in the religious and
social life of the 1937-38 school year on College Hill. In cooperation
with the Y. W. C. A. it has sponsored "Freshman Week" when the
new students were introduced to the spiritual and social life of E-Town
College. The program featured by Kirby Page was sponsored by the
organizations.

The Y. M. C. A. had their annual Christmas party for the less
fortunate boys of town. They received useful presents and also were
treated to all the refreshments they could eat.

The most outstanding event of the year was the. Parents' Day
Banquet. There were over one hundred faculty members and their
wives, parents, friends and young men at the banquet. The banquet
was featured by an address delivered by Dr. J. I. Baugher of Hershey
on the subject "Why Go To College.

The outgoing cabinet extends its best wishes for the biggest and
most successful year to the cabinet and the members of the Y. M. C. A.
for 1938-1939.

With the Y. W. C. A. having as its purpose the enrichment of
each girl's life on our campus, we have engaged in various activities
during the school year.

To make the new students happy and to help orientate them to
campus life occupied our interest during the first 'week of school.

To add to their enjoyment of life on the campus we felt the need
of a new radio and song books for use in the dining room and so we
made these new contributions.

Teas were sponsored during Bible Institute and on several other
occasions as well as two Tea Rooms which were held in the Social
Room in Alpha Hall, one being held after the Larry Program and the
other on Alumni Day.

To add to our social life we sponsored a Thanksgiving Buffet
Supper, hikes in the snow and parties by the fireside. St. Valentine's
week was set aside as a special week when we remembered our secret
sweethearts each day with a little surprise. And at Christmas time
we remembered our little friends downtown who are less fortunate than
others by having a Christmas party for them.

Our program for enriching the spiritual life of the girls included
hall devotions, weekly prayer meetings, chapel services and inviting
special speakers to some of our bi-monthly meetings.

The Mothers and Daughters Banquet is a fond tradition of the
Y. W. C. A. as is the Easter Breakfast which was shared by the
"Y. M." this year for the first time.

Treasurer MARY ELLEN STEHMAN

Prior to the close of the 1936-37 school year, students especially
interested in the Social Sciences added another distinction to the college
by becoming charter members of this newly organized national honorary
social science fraternity. Although a small group it is one of the high
ranking scholastic fraternities on the campus, and is doing notable
work in discussing vital sociological, psychological, and economic prob-
lems. The club meets once each month and hears talks of local well-
known speakers. Its line of activity attempts the study of present day
social problems in a scientific manner, following the ideals of its motto:
Investigation. Discussion, Action. During the year studies have been
made concerning race prejudice, pre-marital and family relationships,
social security, and particular problems of urban and rural sociology.

The International Relations Club, an auxiliary group to Zeta
Sigma Pi, also wields its influence throughout a wide field. Although
Zeta Sigma Pi is a selective group, the I. R. C. is open to all students
who are sufficiently interested in keeping up their study of present-day
world problems and their interpretations in regard to world peace.
During the year this club has sponsored many noteworthy programs,
including the appearance of Kirby Page on the campus. May 16, 1938.

The Student Volunteers is one of the distinctive religious organi-
zations on the campus. Based on the essential Christian principle that
their religion is "missionary,'' the Volunteers have made an effort to
carry out this theme in their campus and life activity.

Bi-weekly programs on the Campus have organized the work among
the students. Deputation teams were again sent out to a majority of
the Churches of eastern and southern Pennsylvania. The programs
of these teams were built around the principles of Christian living.

Through their deputation work, the Volunteers, as a group, con-
tribute yearly to the work budget of the Bittingers, missionaries to
Africa, who were former members of the organization.

High points in this year's activities were: Eastern Regional Con-
ference at Juniata; special discussion groups on Christian leadership
and Mohammedanism and the Eastern Worship Services.

"To make friends be one.'' Thus reads the motto of the Candles.
Originally founded as a social organization, the club has now developed
to serve a dual purpose: to develop friendships through association
in social activities, to crystallize student opinion through regular dis-
cussion of pertinent campus problems. Members are elected from the
three upper classes on the basis of their scholarship, leadership, and
attitude toward the College.

Each spring the club holds its crowning event of the year, the
Candle Homecoming. At this social gathering Candles, past and
present, mingle together perpetuating those friendships formed while
at College.

The Theta chapter of the Sigma Zeta, organized in 1933 as the
first nationally recognized honor society on the Hill, attempts to give
those students who are interested in the exact sciences a broader
foundation in their chosen fields. It strives to promote the students' ap-
preciation for science, to give practical application of it in life, and to
present to the members recent scientific developments. In working
toward these goals the club holds monthly meetings, develops projects
for improvement of the science department of the college, and yearly
sponsors trips to places of scientific interest.

Since the birth of the club it has participated in a national bird
banding project. However this year this was temporarily discontinued
and other projects were taken up as the construction of a micro-
projector and the improvement of our developing room.

Organized in 1932, the Commerciantes aim to make "better men
and women for better business." Hence it fosters both the business
and social development of its personnel. To give greater breadth to
those contacts, it sponsors trips to various Metropolitan centers, the
last of these interesting journeys having been taken to the New York
area.

In its monthly meetings, the Club presents several business and
professional leaders who discuss topics of interest to the group and
afford an opportunity for a wholesale handling of the subject. Demon-
strations of skill in Salesmanship, Typing and Shorthand are an integral
part of the Club's proceedings.

Friendly parties and public programs tend to develop the social
angle of the business organization, which is dedicated to producing
cleaner and finer business relationships.

DEBATING

PROF. G. R. SAYLOR Coach

During the year 1937-38 Elizabethtown College has again been
represented far and wide in the field of intercollegiate debating. This
year the men debaters have born the weight of a heavy schedule, there
being no women's debating teams.

The season as a whole was quite successful, with the Elizabeth-
town debaters conducting themselves nobly through a season of twenty-
four debates and meeting teams from such colleges as Upsala, Gettys-
burg, Saint Francis, Saint Vincent, Franklin and Marshall, Muhlenberg,
Moravian, Rider, Ursinus, Villanova, Immaculata, Massachusetts State,
and Susquehanna University, Lincoln University, Rutgers University,
Drexel Institute of Technology, Fairmont State Teachers College
(W. Vir. ), and others.

During the year the teams have debated before several neighbor-
ing High and Trade Schools, local civic clubs, and engaged in a short
series of radio debates, debating Ursinus College and Drexel Institute
of Technology over Radio Station WGAL in Lancaster, and Rutgers
University over Station WNEW in New York City.

Throughout the season two questions were debated: Resolved,
That the National Labor Relations Board should be empowered to
enforce arbitration of all industrial disputes; and, Resolved, That
students of American Colleges and Universities should refuse to
participate in any war on feteian soil.

The teams lost but mye decisions) during the season, and hold
victories over such schools as^fcetsanon Valley, Saint Vincent, Immac-
ulata, Susquehanna, and others, including a victory in an inter-sectional
debate with Massachusetts State College.

The debaters were guided through another successful season by
Prof. G. R. Saylor, the coach. The argumentation experts were Carl
G. Herr, who also acted as debate manager during the season, James
Beahm, Albert Bzura, M. Richard Shaull, and Robert Eshleman.

Aside from their activities on the campus these men took a week's
tour through eastern Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey, and
returned with an enviable debate record to substantiate Elizabethtown
College's prestige in intercollegiate forensic activities.

THE M1NISTERIUM

OFFICERS

President ELMER GLEIM

Secretary WILBUR NEFF

The Ministerium is an active organization comprised of ministers
and students interested in ministerial and allied work under church
supervision. The purpose of the organization shall be to maintain a
high respect for the calling of the ministry, to lend encouragement to
persons interested in the ministry as a life calling, to constantly seek
opportunity for practical experience in the preparation for the ministry,
and to foster sound academic pre-theological training. The club pro-
vides speakers in a number of churches in this vicinity as well as ful-
fills its function in monthly chapel programs. Monthly meetings are
held in which discussions and lectures are features.

The fellowship generated by this organization has been uplifting
to both the ministers and prospective ministers and to the student body
as a whole.

THE A CAPPELLA CHOIR

JAMES MARTIN President

FLOY MYER Secretary

JAMES LINTON Treasurer

PROF. E. G. MEYER Director and Adviser

Since its founding in 1934, the A Cappella Choir has risen to a
position of paramount importance in the musical life on the campus.
It has furnished for the musically interested students a means of ex-
pression such as no other organization has done. It has been a source
of enjoyment to its members and its influence has been felt in many
sections of Pennsylvania and Maryland.

The choir consists of approximately forty students who are in-
terested in singing. They are selected by test, an opportunity for new
students to try out being given at the beginning. of each school year.
Each year the choir prepares and renders a series of sacred programs
in various churches at their invitation, and also presents in the spring
of each year a sacred cantata, an oratorio, or an opera.

The programs this year were based upon the theme Lord. Speak
To Me That I May Speak and consisted of fifteen selections by
Kopolyoff, Lutkin. Christiansen. Speaks, and others. These programs
were given in fourteen churches in eastern Pennsylvania and Maryland
and in one high school.

The colorful comic opera "The Bartered Bride by Bedrich
Smetana was selected this year as the special production. It was given
on May 13, 1938 with Floy Myer and Robert Adams in the leading
roles of Marie and Jenik. Prof. Meyer was in charge of the production
and Mrs. Meyer ably accomplished the difficult task of accompanying
the opera throughout.

The members of the choir realize that the success of the choir is
due largely to the untiring assistance of Prof. Meyer and therefore
extend to him their heartfelt gratitude.

Since drama is a mirror of life, the understanding of life is among
the major purposes of the Sock and Buskin Club. Other qualities
which the organization strives to develop are poise, self-confidence and
appreciation.

The Sock and Buskin Club was introduced to the new students on
Campus Night, September 18, Friday night of Freshman Week. It
was then that several members gave the play within the play, "A Mid-
summer Nights Dream."

"So This Is London," a three-act comedy which gave us a picture
of American and English ideas of each other was presented on April 9.
The main purpose of the play was to earn money for the new draperies,
the old ones having partly gone up in smoke when "Why The Chimes
Rang," was presented.

And at last what the Club has been striving for all year (in addition
to the draperies ) has been attained. The plan for the Junior Club is
under way. Next year the recommendations so well outlined by the
Committee, will be in full swing. And so to hibernation for the Summer.

SOCK AND BUSKIN

October 28, 1937. This year the Sock and Buskin inaugurated the
"Junior Sock and Buskin Club." The purpose of this subsidiary organ-
ization is to place Freshmen and Sophomores who are deemed not
quite ready for membership into the Senior Club in a position where
they can be drawn upon later for membership into the Senior Club.

In a Chapel program on December 2, the Club pictured 'to the
student body the Church Universal, and the Church Triumphant.
Several weeks later the story of Ruth was dramatized.

"Penrod," a comedy in four acts based on Booth Tarkington's
Penrod stories was selected for the annual Sock and Buskin production.
Under Miss Sheaffer's direction the play, given on March 25, was a
delightful entertainment.

As this goes to press we are about to have initiations for the
pledges of the Junior Sock and Buskin. The meeting will be held at
the home of Miss Mildred Miller on April 19.

Student Government on the Hill functions through three distinct organs: the Student Senate;
the Men's Student Council, and the Women's Student Council, the latter two acting gen-
erally in a disciplinary capacity, the first endowed with legislative powers.

As a member of the National Student Goverpment Association, it attempts to formulate
student opinion, to give added emphasis and virility to student activities, and to keep student
morale at its most efficient peak.

In cooperation with the Administration, the Senate offered during the '37-'38 terms an un-
usually attractive round of social doings while the Councils operated quietly but efficiently to
maintain order and goodwill at Elizabethtown College.

In years to come student government hopes to become an ideally democratic body, a status
toward which Americanism is definitely pointing.

The Elizabethtown College Girls' Varsity Team of 1937-1938
presented a flashy combination at times, but lacked the experience and
polish necessary for a highly successful season.

Gone from last year's edition of the Galloping Ghostesses were
such stalwart performers as ex-captain Ruth Bishop, side-center Bella
Kapp, Dorothy Metzler and Mary Posey. Coach Ira Herr was faced
with no easy task in replacing these regulars.

Lena Brightbill, last year's Freshman sensation, Captain Mildred
Miller, Peggy Curry, Ruth Rishel, Floy Myer, Frieda Shaull and the
Velter girls made up the foundation on which the team was erected.

Several promising Freshmen caught on with the sextet, but stand-
ing head and shoulders above all competitors for Bishop's berth was
Mary Jane Strite, a Middletown lass with plenty on the ball.

"Calamity Jane caged double deckers from all angles, working like
clockwork with Lena Brightbill. In the Blue Ridge game, Jane netted
thirteen field goals and a foul for a total of twenty-seven points —
playing in only half the game.

It was in the Blue Ridge tilt that the Etown coeds were at top
form. All of the forwards rang up high scores, and the defense was
also elaborate.

Only one Phantomess, Captain "Mil" Miller is lost via graduation,
which means that next year's hopes are high, with that extra year of
experience to tack on to ample playing prowess.

Men i E0.5lcetba.lt

Elizabethtown College this year placed on the floor a basketball
team which well represented the school, and of which the school can
be justly proud.

Coach Ira Herr's Galloping Ghosts clad at an early date in a
brand news suit of Blue and Gray uniforms, hopped on their opponents
for ten victories in eighteen starts, and many of the games lost were by
the scarcest of margins.

Three new faces appeared in the opening line-up, in Senior Jim
Linton, and Freshmen Stanley Disney, and Ross Coulson. These men
replaced such veterans as Hal Newman, the Schlosser cousins, Eddie
Lander and Don Royer.

In the eighteen tilts played, the Phantoms rolled up a grand total
of 683 points to edge out their opponents by the slim margin of three.
The highest score registered was against Gallaudet, when the Hillians
accounted for 62 points against a team which had given St. Joe's
Mighty Mites a real struggle. The highest total from the opposite
standpoint was registered by Bucknell's first-class basketball squad,
who scored 55 points in an early season victory. All told, the Blue
and White averaged 37.9 points per game, giving them an edge of .2
point over their rivals.

Rob Roy Rudisill, the raven-haired captain of the Ghosts, was the
individual scoring star of the year. "Rudy'' made use of his unusually
uncanny eye for the basket to compile a respectable sum of 191 points,
55 of which were foul throws. The Wrightsvillian sang his swan song
in Elizabethtown basketball by tallying twenty points against Gallaudet.
Luke Sauder also did his local fade-out in that engagement.

Stan Disney, playing his first year of College basketball as varsity
center, flashed championship form on many occasions, exhibiting his
ability to cage seemingly wild shots with regularity. This loquacious
youngster canned 129 points, being topped only by Rudisill and Sopho-
more "Chick'' Baugher. Baugher was the workhorse of the squad, tally-
ing 156 points and playing a robust, hard game at all times.

When Elizabethtown lowered the Juniata colors on January 15,
of this season, handing the Chiefs a 28-27 setback, it was the first
Etown cage team win over their ancient rivals in eight years. The other
old rival, Susquehanna, was subdued once, 41 to 38, on January 11.

The toughest game of the season was the Blue Ridge conflict on
the Hill on March 1. After having submerged the Ridge five at New
Windsor, 34 to 19, the Apparitions were hardly looking for the trouble
they encountered. It took a foul by Jim Linton in the last five seconds
of play to clinch a 46 to 45 win after the Ghosts led by 5 points at
half-time.

With only three members of the cast missing, next year's crop of
Galloping Ghosts looks like a good bet on the Summer books, and
stands a good chance to capture the crown of the new Pennsylvania
Conference, which involves Susquehanna and Moravian.

Roy Rudisill of Wrightsville,
was captain in his final year on the
Etown College Varsity. "Rudy"
scored 191 points to lead the
scoring.

Ross Coulson, also got his
varsity baptism early. Playing at
a guard post, Ross was a persist-
ent guard and a smooth floor-
worker.

Stanley Disney, an Elizabeth-
town boy playing varsity ball in
his Freshman year, seems to be
just what the doctor ordered at
that pivot spot.

Thomas Garber. of Etown, cap-
tained the Junior Varsity team
that took the Rotary Club title.

James Linton, of Elizabethtown,
a Senior playing Varsity ball for
the first time, proved a steady, de-
pendable Phantom under fire.

Luke Sauder, of Lancaster, also
played his last year for Etown.
Here was a big lad who could play
a variety of positions equally well.

Norman "Chick" Baugher, the
Sophomore star from Hershey, can
be counted on to go places in the
next two years.

The Elizabethtown Junior Varsity, composed chiefly of Sopho-
mores and Freshmen, won the Rotary Club title of Elizabethtown by
spanking Masonic Homes on March 7.

In so doing, the collegians replaced Patton Trade School as
Elizabethtown champions. They beat Etown High School in the
elimination round, and then went on to take their 22-20 triumph from
Jim Linton's flashy Home's five.

The Jay-Vees paced by Hal Saylor, the only Junior among the
regulars, had a good season, winning the majority of their contests,
and the Rotary trophy capped the climax.

Tom Garber, "Joe" Heckler, Red Meyer, and Galen Jones were
the Sophomore representatives, while Wilmer Freidinger, Bob Keller,
and "Pepper" Martin were likely-looking yearlings.

The Hill baseball team of 1937, smashed all precedents by taking
nine straight decisions after losing their first and only game to Juniata,
12 to 5 at Huntington.

The Galloping Ghosts featured a star hurler in Roy Rudisill, who
captured seven of the victories while losing one. Red Lander and
George Raker copped the other two victories.

Garth Gochnauer, an Etown High product who transferred to
Albright at the end of the year, led the stickmen with a swat average
well over .400. Gochnauer and Herb Lefever were the only Freshmen
in the regular order.

Captain Shelley Miller, Lander, Raker, Gochnauer and center-
fielder Wilbur "Bud" Weaver were lost to the 1938 team, as were
substitutes Roy Sheckard and Dave Shue.

After winning their tenth game in a row, including last year's
streak, by downing Moravian, 8-3, the Galloping Ghosts of the diamond
tumbled into a 2-0 defeat at the hand of Juniata.

The Phantoms went into this season as a member of the Penn-
sylvania Conference. It was the first season of organized baseball for
the Ghosts. Susquehanna and Moravian are the other members of the
Conference. At present writing Elizabethtown and Moravian are tie
for the lead with two victories and one defeat apiece.

The Hillians opened the season by playing a 6-6 deadlock with
the Maryland State Teachers in Towson, Md. Following that they
tripped up Moravian, 8-3, for their first Conference conquest.

The locals then ran up against Lefty Rohrer, Juniata's star twirler,
who held them to two hits while fanning twenty men, and the win
streak of ten dissolved. Pharmacy was next, and with Nathan
Meyer getting five for five, the Ghosts slaughtered their Quaker City
rivals, 21-2.

Moravian took sweet revenge for the earlier defeat, by lowering
Etown's Blue and Gray colors, 3 to 2. The latest victory at this
writing is the 10 to 8 victory over Susquehanna.

acting as captain. Two new racqueteers who won their spurs this year
are Bobby Keller, a Freshman, and Art Risser, a Junior.

A philosophic grandpa frog sat on Placida's

shore
And mused to his companions about the

days of yore:

For full three summers I have watched the
world go by.

As have my forebears for a dozen genera-
tions;

And I would like to give the world before
I die.

The fruit of my experience and observa-
tions.

Those huge two-legged pale-skinned things

which walk erect.
Which often come to visit our enormous

ocean —
I've heard they're "students ". which is not

what you d expect
If you should see on what they spend the

most devotion.

For usually they come in pairs; but those
there are

Who come alone, and try on us next Sun-
day's preaching.

Some bring their books, but these are very

rare,
Though nearly all are interested, they say,

in teaching.

AS WE ARE SEEN
(Continued from page 93)

Some nights these creatures build a bon-
fire on the bank,

And then we hear and see the strangest
sounds and actions.

The frog that never saw these "students"
play and prank

Has missed one of the frogs' traditional
attractions.

They meet and eat and talk and sing right

on our shore.
They always stand to sing about their

"Alma Mater."
And every year two classes stage a tug-

of-war
In an attempt to pull each other through

the water.

Sometimes they venture on our sea — two
in a boat.

And we can overhear their entire conver-
sation,

But let s skip that because they've asked
me not to quote;

Besides, tis time to start our nightly jubi-
lation.

Young Marlow (Jim Linton), and Hastings (Luke Sauder), are tricked by Tony Lumpkin
(Jimmy Breahm ) , into thinking Mr. Hardcastle's (Paul Hoffman), house is an inn and that Miss
Meville (Giace Ernst), is staying there for the night. Young Marlowe takes Kate Hardcastle
(Mil Miller), for the barmaid of the inn, since he has a perfect antipathy for society women.
Dolly (Jane Williams), her maid informs Kate that Marlowe has mistaken her, and she plans
to keep up the delusion. Mr. Hardcastle has quite a hard time training for the arrival of his
two guests, his band of servants (Richard Shaull-Diggony, Landis Eby, John Glass, Paul Shank.
David Raffensberger) , who were also fellows in the coffee house where Carl Herr was the land-
lord. Because of certain jewels that Mrs.

Hardcastle (Helen Myers), wants for her son
Tony, she wishes to marry him to Miss Ne-
ville. The trickster, Tony, leads them into
their own backyard where Sir Charles Mar-
lowe (Bill Shaeffer), helps to clear up the
entanglements.

This Book . . .

... in its entirety was designed in our plant and pro-
duced by our offset process of printing, — Econolith.
No engravings were used. This method of printing
eliminates the use of both line and half-tone cuts
which naturally means quite a saving where photo-
graphs and drawings are liberally used. May we
suggest that you investigate this process more thor-
oughly on your next printing job?
