THE PRESIDENT

President J. Waiter Malone

From the day that he first came to Millikin as President, Dr. Malone has worked hard to keep the affairs of the University running smoothly. With a friendly smile for all members of the campus community, he has become one of the best-loved persons on the campus. He has those qualities essential to a college presi- dent: warmth of personality, friendliness, un- derstanding, and sympathy for all who come in contact with him.

Dean C L Miller

As a leader and administrator, Dean Miller is responsible for straightening out campus and student difficulties and for keeping the Uni- versity well organized. Each year he demon- strates skill in dealing with the many problems that concern both students and professors. He has worked unceasingly to keep the standards of an expanding University high and campus life harmonious. At the same time, he has re- mained a true friend of the students.

Dean Frances E. Falvey

Dean Falvey, as Dean of Women, spends much time and thought working with the social chairman of each organization in order to de- velop an effective calendar of events. She also lends invaluable assistance and advice to the resident housemothers, as well as to Millikin women. Besides serving as Dean of Women, she is Director of Student Affairs and an instructor in mathematics.

ie

R. WAYNE GILL

There is, perhaps, no one person on the Millikin staff who has a harder job and re- ceives less credit for it than does Mr. Gill. As Business Manager he is responsible for handling all financial affairs connected with operating the University. He also directs the maintenance staff, looks after farms and homes belonging to the University, and takes care of investments. He is indeed an indispensible person.

AND FACULTY

DEAN JAMES BLACK

As Dean of Chapel, the Rev. James Black seeks to develop a campus environment that will produce mature Christian citizens. He plans such activities as the mid-week chapel program and our Religious Emphasis Week. In the classroom and in his contacts with students, he teaches the practical application of Christianity to daily living. In a year, Rev. Black has become a vital part of the campus.

WALTER B. GRAY

One of the most vital men in the growth of Millikin is Mr. Gray, for through his efforts as Admissions Director the student body is re- cruited and processed. Mr. Gray is also in charge of Public Relations. He arranges many of the trips taken by music students and super- vises the preparation of literature concerning the athletic teams and many aspects of the University program. Without his services the life of Millikin would be short indeed.

ALUMNA OFFICE

Mrs. Stanley Broughton Mrs. Orval Kendall

Taking your money, checking your records, an watching your health are just a few of the duties of the staff at Millikin. The many ser- vices rendered bring about a smoothly oper- ating administrative division. Without the staff there would be no permanent records for your convenience in job getting, no handy bank for cashing checks, and no absentee slips to use on returning to class after illness. To the staff goes a huge vote of thanks!

1078 West William was the scene of busy preparation early in the fall as the Alpha Chis made final arrangements for their annual street dance to welcome all students and faculty members back to the campus. Soon after this, Homecoming activities started. The huge type- writer with the slogan, "Alums, You're Our Type" was awarded third place for house decorations. Marion Proctor represented Alpha Chi in the Homecoming Queen's court; Mar- lene Eitmann served as co-chairman of Home- coming. Alpha Chi pledges gave a "Coke- tail" for pledges of all fraternities and honored the actives at a house dance. The winter formal "Die Reise durch Rhineland" (A Journey through Rhineland) highlighted the

winter season. With Delta Sigma Phi, the chapter presented a skit, "Mother Goose Land," for the Variety Show. Work was not over, 'however, for the girls practiced and sang in the Greek Sing under the theme, "Symbols of Alpha Chi."

Upsilon chapter has taken part in various phases of campus life. Kern Miller and Jeanie Gallatin led the university band as majorettes. Mary Jo Kellams was awarded the lead in the school opera while Carol Dill was elected to Who's Who. Helen Jackson, Joan Briggs, and Carol Dill were initiated into Pi Mu Theta and Merry Cole became a member of Alpha Epsilon Rho. Kern Miller was vice-president of the sophomore class, Donna Hiser became treasur- er of Panhellenic Council, and Dories Mullen was secretary of the Home Economics Club. Many other members participated in activities.

Through both work and play, Tri Deltas share together and build a close bond of fraternity friendship which endures throughout the years.

With the opening of school, 111 Park Place became the scene of many busy girls making preparation for rushing activities, Homecom- ing, house dances, and formals. Tri-Delt tied for second place in both the house decoration and the float in the 1954 Homecoming. Sharon McFadden and Jayne Hagberg were again leading the cheers for the Big Blue. Christmas rolled around and it was again time for the annual Pine Tea given for the faculty, and also time for the caroling party. In January the girls made plans for their winter formal "Shadows in Blue." Soon after the beginning of second semester they worked on the Variety Show and the University Sing. In April, they gave the annual Easter Party for the Girls'

Welfare Home, and in May the spring formal and the Pansy Breakfast for all senior women. A Parents' Day was also inaugurated.

Many Tri Delts took part in other campus activities throughout the year. Suzanne Popple- ton served as Panhellenic President, Kay Kaufmann as Vice-President of the Senior Class, Ruth McDonald as Secretary of the Junior Class, Jayne Hagberg as Secretary of the Sophomore Class, and Karen Reime, Alice Mueller, as officers of the Freshman Class. Ruth McDonald served as Co-chairman of Campus Chest, Betty Reed as President of S.A.I., and Joan Lentz was treasurer of Student Council and Corresponding Secretary of Chi Eta Rho. Carol Zimmer was Vice-President of Tau Chi Pi, Dons Stephenson was President of the Home Economics Club and Co-editor of the Millidek. Several Tri Delts also served on the Millidek staff. Carol Kammerer was Vice-President of F.T.A., and Kay Kaufmann and Betty Reed were elected to ""Who's Who." Other girls were also members of Pi Mu Theta. Arlene Steinberg sang the lead in "The Bartered Bride" and seven other Tn-Delts sang minor parts and were in the chorus.

With the guidance of Coach and Mrs. Allan as advisors Delta Epsilon chapter has had another fine year.

_ t Jfe

From September to June, the Pi Phi's joined in a bond of friendship to work loyally for the activities of our chapter and for the Millikm campus.

Fall rush was followed by house dances, teas, exchanges, informal parties, and Home- coming. Autumn blended into winter and we began to prepare for the holidays. The Christ- mas party for the faculty children was the first of its kind and we hope it will become one of our cherished traditions.

Memorable and uniquely decorated dances of first semester included a "Night in China- town," "Moulin Rouge," and the annual winter formal, "Wonderland of Winter."

Pi Beta Phi was well represented in campus activities. Carlene Stegenga and Janet Mc- Laughlin were elected to "Who's Who" and to Pi Mu Theta, and Martha Krohn was chosen for the latter. Barbara Smith was Vice-Presi- dent of U.Y.F. and Assistant Editor of the Decaturian, with Sarah Shepley, Sally Wise- heart, and Elaine Brush also on the Dec Staff. Betty McHatton was co-chairman of Religious Emphasis Week and Nancy Ash was Class Editor of the Millidek. Sally Wiseheart and Marlene Kolb were cheerleaders.

During the second semester, we turned our energies to the Variety Show, the University Sing, Mother's Day Weekend, and the Spring Formal.

Back in January, the girls worked on their winter formal, "Symphony in Snow." The province president visited the chapter, and Carolynn Johnson and Pat Tillet attended the Province Workshop in March at Northwestern.

The scholarship dinner of steak and beans was held in March. With the Sig Phi's, the Zetas presented their interpretation of "The Night Before Christmas" for the Variety Show. The year concluded with the Mother's weekend in May.

Zetas were prominent in campus activities. Judy Gilman and Mary Delaney were elected to Phi Kappa Phi, and Judy Gilman, Mary Delaney, and Verne Borse were named to "Who's Who."

From its ranks was drawn the theatre orchestra which played for the opera. As the name implies, townspeople as well as Millikin students are members of the orchestra.

The Millikin Band played at home foot- ball and basketball games, and occasion- ally toured to out-of-town games. In addition to these activities, the Band presented a winter concert.

New Publications Board Set Up

On Tuesday, March 15, 1955, the Student Council and the Committee on Student Affairs, in joint meeting, approved plans for a new- Publications Board at Millikm. The Board will be made up of ten members — five faculty and five students.

The Board held its first meeting on Monday, March 28, at which time petitions for publica- tions were considered. The Board, which is directly responsible to the Student Council, will meet once each month, and will establish both policy and practice for the Millidek, the Deca- turian, the Student Handbook, and the Student Directory.

CHEERLEADERS

With their unlimited enthusiasm Millikin's cheerleaders depicted the very spirit of Millikin and of her fighting conference champs.

Jayne Hagberg, Marlene Kolb, Sharon McFadden, Sally Wiseheart

Big Blue fans had more than their share to yell about this year. Nothing is quite so encouraging to a team as the solid backing of its fans.

M

CLUB

The "M" Club has had another year of accomplishments. First semester found us under the direction of President, Jerry Babel; Vice President, Dick Quisenberry; Secretary, Frank Chizevsky; Treasurer, Bob Corrington. Under their leadership some of the major projects carried out were the purchase of the cheerleaders' uniforms, the Joe Catlin Basketball Game, and a Christmas Party for the Boys' Oppor- tunity Home. The second semester officers were: President, Frank Van Doren; Vice President, Bill Higgms; Secretary, Gene Wolamn; Treasurer, Bob Corrington. The major projects this semester were the "M" Club book store, an Easter party for the Boys' Opportunity Home, and the "M" Club Banguet.

Plans are already in progress for next year. We are planning an "M" Day for all who have become "M" Men since the opening of the University.

The counselor for UM" Club is Coach Ralph Allan.

Front Row Dick Quisenberry, Dick McBride, Mel Back Row: Don Petty, Bob Harlan, Bob Glass, Clete Sheets Frank Chizevsky, Gerry Babel, Bill Savage, Hinton, Roger Lotchin, Don McCann, Harold Frost, Dick Kramer, Bill Higgins, Lyle Slater. Doug Warford, Bernie Taylor, Coach Ralph Allan.

*' MAN

Frank Chizevsky has been chosen 1955 "M" Man by the Millidek Staff.

Just to mention a few of Frankie's accomplish- ments, he was chosen as all CCI fullback. Little Ail-American, and all NAIA. Besides setting sev- eral records offensively. Frank was one of the toughest defensive line-backers in the confer- ence.

He displayed his versatility last spring by taking conference honors in the shot-put and he is out for the same medal this spring.

Frank has been an active member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, President of his Senior Class, Sec- retary of his Sophomore Class, and Officer of the "M" Club.

FOOTBALL

Coach Jack Allen, in his second year as head coach, led the Big Blue to their most successful season since 1952. After getting off to a slow start by suffering three suc- cessive defeats, the Blue came on to win their last five straight to compile a fine overall record of 5-3 including a 5-1 CCI record, good for a tie for the cham- pionship.

The Blue opened their season under the lights on the Decatur High Field going down to defeat 27-7, to the Cardinal's of Ball State. The Blue received a big setback in the opening quarter when senior half back and Co-captain Bill Savage suffered a broken collar- bone, which was to keep him out of the lineup for the remainder of the season.

The second game of the new season saw the Blue tackling an even more formidable foe in the Vikings of Missouri Valley. The Allen-men were overpowered by the perennially powerful Mis- souri men, 33-7.

The Blue journeyed to Wheaton to open their CCI play against the team picked in pre-season ratings as the team to beat for conference title. The Wheaton Crusaders lived up to their rating as they ran to a 27-6 victory in a constant down- pour.

With the first three games behind them, the Blue were not to be discouraged as they returned home to meet the Vikings of Augustana in the second annual Dad's Day game. The 31-6 victory gave an indication of things to come with senior Co-captain Frank Chizevsky running hard up the middle, foe Lambert stepping in for injured Bill Savage in fine fashion, and Larry Kane showing great passing attack in connecting with halfback Ted Smith and end Pete Innis.

The Titans of Illinois Wesleyan were to pro- vide the opposition at Bloomington for the deter- mined gridders of Millikin the following week. The Blue came out on top with a 13-7 win.

The next week was Homecoming and a must for the Blue. The Foresters of Lake Forest were the opposition for the Big Blue, who needed a victory if they were to send a large homecoming crowd away happy and were to make a bid for the CCI Championship. The Millikin men ran and passed to a fine 27-13 victory.

Following the homecoming game, the Blue met the winless Bluejays of Elmhurst. The of- fensive-minded men for Millikin completely dom- inated play in an easy 45-7 win.

The final game of the season was another must for the Blue if they were to gain a share of the CCI Championship. The Big Blue responded in excellent fashion with a 51-12 victory. Co- captain Frank Chizevsky ended a brilliant four year grid career for the Blue, setting three new conference rushing records sparked by his 95 yard touchdown run from scrimmage.

The Blue placed Frank Chizevsky, fullback, Pete Innis, end, and Lyle Slater, tackle, on the all CCI first team. Halfback Ted Smith and tackle Gerry Babel received berths on the second squad. Chizevsky and Innis gained further honor;; in being named to the Little Ail-American Squad. Dick Kramer won the Lou Epperson Memorial Award for his fine play at the guard position.

All of the men played hard, showing always a determination to win. They deserve credit for a fine season.

BASKETBALL

The 1954-55 edition of the Millikin Basket- ball team found the Big Blue hardwood five winning its fifth CCI crown in the last seven seasons. And in doing so, Ralph Allan's charges provided the Millikin fans with many thrilling action-packed evenings of basketball.

The team, led by co-captains Mel Sheets and Jack Dettro, faced an uphill battle almost from the start of the season. After winning the

year's first two contests against Normal and Southern, the Blue dropped conference contests against Lake Forest and North Central. From this point on there could be and were no further losses to conference foes. The victory surge was sparked by a team effort, indicated by the fact that all five regulars ended the season with nearly the same point average.

On February 12 the Big Blue and many fans made a journey to Chicago to play the Wheaton Crusaders in the Chicago Stadium. The convincing 72-49 win there was just what the team needed to carry them to the conference championship. The highlight of the season came a few weeks later at Wesleyan where the Blue did the impossible in beating the Titans 65-61 on the latters' home court. In winning the CO Millikin set a new conference scoring record for total points in one season and in points per game.

Action outside the CCI found the Blue winning over such teams as Macalaster, Eastern, and Shurtleff twice. On the other side of the column, however, were losses to Beloit and to the third place winners in the NAIA tourney, Western.

For the fifth straight year the Blue were invited to the District 20, NAIA playoffs in Champaign. However, Millikin could not beat Wesleyan three times in one season, and lost to the Bloomington five in the first round.

Members of the team were Roger Lotchin, Don Morris, Terry Smith, Larry Warren, Ron Reed, and captain elect for next season Don Petty.

Individual honors went to Don Morris, who ranked third in the nation with a .637 shooting percentage on field goals, and to Don Petty, who led the squad in free throwing.

Coach Jack Allen opens his second year at the helm of the Big Blue dia- mond squad, confident that he has a title contender. Upholding the confident outlook are six returning lettermen to man the key positions.

Righthander Dennis Harrell and lefty Clete Hinton return to head the mound staff with non-letterman Dave Richardson and Larry Warren to strengthen the staff. Lefties Jim Brown and Jim Stillman are available for duty also.

Letterman Frank Van Doren re- turns from service to take charge be- hind the bat, with Dean Doss ready to relieve him. The infield is manned with letterman Tom Lambert at first base and 1954 conference batting champion Don Petty at second.

Dick Quisenberry, Captain

Captain Quisenberry, one of the nation's top 220 men, was working hard to better his records in the 220 and 440. Two men anticipat- ing several points for Millikin in the hurdles, jumps, pole vault, and javelin were Paul Jones and Ted Smith. Larry Craig, Doug Warford, Dick Kramer, and Bill Langdon, along with Quisenberry, provided the manpower in the

dashes. Letterman Dick McBride, with strong help from Freshmen Dave Parsons and Duncan Reid, constituted the field in distance running. Another veteran counted upon to pick up necessary points in the javelin, broad jump, and high jump was Harold Frost. The strength in the weight events was supplied by Senior Frank Chizevsky, Lyle Slater, and Dick Kramer.

Activities

Long hours were spent preparing for Homecoming. Freshman - sophomore games initiated activities of the weekend with the freshmen traditionally losing. That evening students welcomed alums to the campus with a talent show, "Two Fingers of Scotch," decorated houses, and the pep rally on the athletic field. Satur- day brought a full day beginning with the parade in the morning. This year everybody could place. Millikm spirit was high as the Big Blue downed Lake Forest in the football game. Homecoming was climaxed by the dance in the Armory with Charlie Spivak's band. Thanks to the co-chairmen for a perfect weekend!

Each sorority on campus and the Mil- likin Independent Association selects a candidate to represent them as Home- coming queen. A committee composed of students, faculty, and townspeople chose Verne Borse as the 1954 Millikin Homecoming Queen. She reigned over the activities of the weekend. The coro- nation took place during half-time of the football game. The queen was crowned by the 1953 queen, Betty Jane Reed. The queen and her court were honored at the Homecoming dance that evening.

Verne came to Millikin from Oak Park, Illinois, and was active in various campus activities. She was president of Millikin Religious Association and Newman Club; vice-president of Alpha Epsilon Rho; member of the Home Ec Club and Town and Gown. She was also elected to "Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities.""
