Doors Swing Wide At Normal College
Lola Lohse New Dean
Mrs. (Henry) Lola L. Lohse was appointed as dean of the Normal College, A.G.U., by action of the Indiana University Board of Trust~es at their September 18, 1971 meeting. This action bears out fully the promise made by Indiana University at the merger of Normal College and Indiana University in September, 1941. At that time l.U.
promised that the Normal College would always retain its identity. We know the alumni will be gratified that this promise has been fulfilled.
Mrs. Lohse has served as director of the Normal College since 1963. Her appointment as dean followed closely upon the initiation of the four year program leading to the B.S. degree in Physical Education.
It is now possible to enroll in the Normal College as a freshman and to complete all reqirements for the baccalaureate degree in Indianapolis.
Currently the college enrollment is 182 with a number of additional enrollees expected in January. The first four year graduates since 1933 will receive degrees in May 1972.
The student body, the faculty and the alumni join in congratulating Mrs.
Lohse on her advancement. With the continued support of the alumni we are confident that we will continue to enjoy the reputation of being not only the oldest institution for the preparation of teachers of physical education in the United States, but also one of the most thorough.

NORMAL COLLEGE PICNIC ..• No one scratches this event.
From Our Mailbox
Marion Dadeker Schoenly-Last winter we took our first freighter trip.
Our ports of call included Casablanca, Valencia, Genoa, Naples, Sousse, Trieste, Venice, and finally Yougoslavia. We left our Yugoslav ship after 28 days on board.
We continued by bus and train to Austria and Switzerland where we enjoyed watching the skiing and winter sports.
From there we went to Spain and Portugal which we toured in a rented Simca. We crossed the Strait of Gibralter into Tangiers and returned to New York on a Jumbo Jet 747. It was a great two months trip.
Louise Karle Murphy from Saigon-Well, here I am for two years. It is really an experience to be over here. We are living in a hotel run by the Department of the Army. Wayne is at the Embassy. Across the Street from the hotel is a gymnasium school. Activity starts at sun-up and goes into the night.
The tennis courts are lighted. There is something gorng on every minute of the day. On Sunday mornmg they bring bus loads of kids in for exercising. They have three parallel bars on the grounds. At night they teach karate and thai boxing.
They hit the sandbag with their feet.
Wayne says the feet and legs are very important in Thai boxing. I am assisting three afternoons a week in the Half Way House sponsored by World Vision, an interdenornina tional organization. 1t is an orphanage for abondoned and malnourished babies.
Charlotte Roeder Corbin-Our grand two year tour in Guam was over last August. We came to the States with an addition to our family. Stephen Thomas, our second son was born on Guam on
April 5, 1970. Currently we are stationed at Maxwell A.F.B., Montgomery, Alabama. I am substitute teaching at a private elementary and secondary school, and have started w?rking _on my Masters.
Bill Mei~ner-We enjoyed the Fish Creekers' summer reunion with the William Kittlauses '29, the Louis Kittlauses '23 · and the Ray Glunzes.
Jack Dalton-I regret haven't much to tell you. My job, and it includes some travel, keeps me fairly busy. I still am engaged in trying to help handicapped people.
Leri Pielmeier-My family is well and busy. My daughter is a junior at Duguesne University, while my son graduated from Catholic University last June and is now in graduate school at Pennsylvania State.
He graduated summa cum laude and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Last summer he toured Mexico and Central America for the State Department with a talent group. He was in summer stock theatre in Dayton, Ohio.
Lou Roth-We held the fort at Betty Lou's home on the Mayport Naval Base at Jacksonville, Florida while she visited with Larry at Garmisch, Germany for a few weeks (he was on leave from his ship in the Mediterranean). In early August we drove over to son Louis and his family in Dallas, Texas. Several friends ask "how does it feel to be retired?" Really I haven't felt it yet-it is still summer vacation to me! It won't be long though, particularly when we get the first early-morn snowfall!

182 Students Take Classes
The Normal College doors had to swing exceptionally wide to accommodate the 37 .9% registration increase. On August 23, 182 students, 62 freshmen, 58 sophomores, 42 juniors, and 20 seniors enrolled for first semester classes. Daughters of two alumni were among the new students. Elizabeth Rychnowski1 daughter of Stephen Rychnowski of Buffalo, N.Y., and Kathleen Wilson, step daughter of Richard Udvardi of South Bend, Indiana, both registered for Normal classes.
Throughout the past year physical property improvements have been made.
Strange as it may seem, everything on campus is practically on ground level. The highest anyone has to climb is two steps, and these steps are the entrance to the portable classrooms.
Among the completed projects are the vestibule to the main entrance, a black top drive circling the front of the main building with a 30 foot flagpole in the center, and a paved picturesque walk leading to both of the carpeted and air conditioned classrooms. Installation of larger lockers and wall-to.wall carpeting in the locker room has been completed, and the job of painting both inside and out is near completion.
Parking accorrunodations are somewhat cramped, but plans are underway to alleviate this condition.
Last, but not least, Gamma Delta of Phi Epsilon Kappa has completed the huge Normal College of IUPUI sign that is clearly visible from the main road.
The school picnic, held two weeks after registration, was very well attended, and, as usual, when NCAGlYers get together there was plenty of action.
Unfortunately the weather was cool and swimming only attracted some unfortunate students who experienced an impomptu ducking. All-in-all, everyone had a grand time.
A great BIG THANKS is extended to the committee in charge and to all those who brought such delicious and appetizing dishes to appease the gastronomical appetite that is ever so prevalent at such an occasion.

After a bratwurst and beer with the weather man from New Holstein and Sheboygan, the weather for Homecoming at Camp Brosius was beautiful. One hundred and three happy people enjoyed the activities, mostly like renewing acquaintances and reliving the Normal College days, telling old stories and a few new ones.
Harry Pierson, class of 1920, noted a considerable change in Camp Brosius from the first camp he attended in 1922 We missed the Stocker's Emporium - Peg and Jack were unable to attend for the first time in many years, and we wish them improved health so they will be back with us next time.

Wally Eberhardt
Wally Eberhardt
"Doc" Retires
After 40 years Wally (Doc) Eberhardt, the man with the "golden voice" and "Mr. Physical Fitness of St.
Louis" has retired. Last August he found he had reached that magic age of 68 that compelled him to retire from his position as Director of Physical Education at St.
Louis University.
Wally's career began in St. Louis in 1927 as instructor at the local Turner organization and doing a radio show on physical fitness five days a week. When Wally heard about St. Louis University's plans to introduce physical education he offered to set-up a program without any salary for the opportunity to continue his education free. Upon securing his degree he became a member of the faculty and with pay.
For the past 12 years he has been the key man in getting the St. Louis Cardinals in topnotch shape at their spring training camp at St. Petersburg, Florida. As busy as he has been during the past 40 years he has been an active member in many local state and national organizations.
Although Wally had to retire from the university, it is questionable that he will, figuratively speaking, occupy a rocking chair; the chances are that his golden voice will be heard again over the air and that the St. Louis Cardinal players may see him out in front, rugged as ever, putting them through their paces for another season; he still has much to offer.·
Did You Know?
On March 27, 1971, the Indiana University Board of Trustees approved a four year program at Normal College. Students will now be able to complete the degree of Bachelor of Science in Physical Education in Indianapolis, or if they wish, they can continue their education in Bloomington under the previous program.

Normal Is "Normal"
By Sheila Northcutt
"Will my life at Normal be normal?"
I wondered as I entered school the first day. From the bewildered looks on my classmates faces, I know they felt the same way. After one month of going to classes and getting acquainted with students and teachers, I know my life here will be decidedly normal.
"It seems like everybody knows everybody else around here," comments Rose Sweeny.
That is the advantage of going to a small school. The atmosphere is friendly, and students can easily consult teachers about their problems. The college system of assigning classes allows me free time to practice and perfect skills in which I am weak.
"It sure is nice to have time to work on my gymnastics," says Candy Hart, who works on class assignments, play basketball or volleyball during free time.
Students are treated like adults around here, says Chloanne Ewing. More independent work is expected in college

than was required in high school. Not only do we learn different subjects but we are also learning how to teach those subjects.
"After four years of practice teaching I feel I will be fully qualified to teach," comments Cindy Williams.
To all incoming freshmen life here is definitely different, but we were "Normal teenagers" when we entered here and will be "Normal adults" when we graduate.

William S. Hubbard '25 retired on July 1 , 1971 after a long teaching career.
After receiving his Bachelors in Physical Education from Normal College in 1932 and his B.S. in Education from l.U. in 1942, he did post graduate work in elementary administration at the University of Buffalo. In 1949 he was appointed assistant principal of School 6 and in 1950 he became the principal of School 36. After serving three years each at Schools 36, 10 and 7 5 he returned to his first school, School 72, where he remained as principal for 13 years until he retired.
Bill is a native Buffalonian, born on the lower west side of the city. ln high school he starred in cross-country and track. It is interesting to note that Frank Sedita, present mayor of Buffalo and now candidate for County of Erie Executive, was Bill's understudy as cheerleader that same year. He had George Kalbfleisch '16 as his coach and teacher. He started out at Normal College in the fall of '25 and was graduated from the three-year course in 1928. While in college, Bill played three years of varsity baseball and taught fencing, swimming and diving in his last year.
Bill and his wife Margaret celebrated their 4Dth Wedding Anniversity on August 20, 1971 by going to dinner with Eddie Mumenthaler '24 and his wife Eleanor. It was the Mumenthalers' 40th anniversary also.
The Hubbard's retirement plans include Florida in the winter, seeing more of the U.S.A. then seeing Europe, reading, playing golf and enjoying their three grandchildren. Bill plans to do volunteer work in boys' clubs and community organizations. We wish Bill and Margaret many years of happy retirement.
Carl Bear '15 had surgery in June. He is fine now but did have a setback a few weeks later. He had to return to the hospital but all is well at this writing. Carl who originally came from Massachusetts lived and taught in Buffalo, N.Y. for 50 years. He is a charter member of the Buffalo Schoolmasters' Bowling League and last spring was honored with a plaque commemorating that event. He is also a 50 year member of the Buffalo Alumni Chapter of Phi Epsilon Kappa and holds the Distinguished Service Award from that Fraternity.
Not many persons know the following fact as Carl is very modest but he also holds the Carnegie Medal for Bravery in saving a boy from drowning.
The youngster had fallen through the ice and Carl driving past saw the boy's plight.
He stopped his car and with great presence of mind grabbed an old plank that was fortunately lying nearby, crawled out on the plank and pulled the youngster out of the icy water.
Carl and his wife, the former Melba Schreiber have sold their home in Buffalo and are settling down in their new mobile home in Florida. For his many friends who would like to drop him and Melba a (Continued on pa~ 6)

"trailer it" to Mexico as he and his wife Lee, did a few years ago. At that tim;
