Albany College, Portland, Oregon Back in the days of that mythical giant, Paul Bunyan, Portland was just
part of a mighty forest. A forest that might well have been cut oil by Paul
himself. But the years have come and gone; Paul has departed into the dim
past and Portland has become a thriving metropolis. Today we have a new
giant, waterpower and the accompanying industrial development. So it is
that we have given this page to our city-the symbol of youthful ambitions
realized and the personification of industrial progress.

Clarence W. Greene
Our good wishes to all the members of the Albany College student
body of the college year 1940-19411 Congratulations to the student
leaders who in such fine cooperative spirit have shared in making
this a memorable year in the character of the college activities that
have given color and value to our college life!
Our college chorus, and other voice groups, our newly or
ganized college orchestra, our dramatic groups, our athletic teams,
our Christian Fellowship group, and our Student Body Organization
with its various subsidiary organizations have contributed largely lo
the development and enrichment of our entire college lile.
Some of the members of our college group have withdrawn from
college in order to participate in the program of military preparation
of our federal government. Other members of our group will soon
enter upon that program. Our best wishes go with them. However, in
spite of the cloud that hangs over the international horizon and the
state of unrest and apprehension that prevails among so many
people in our own country, may we keep in mind the fundamental
principles that give permanent stability to personal living, to the
social order and to government. Those principles are enunciated in
the "Sermon on the Mount." May our college provide some of the
leadership with vision and spiritual poise that will serve the next
generation in the process of reconstruction. May God bless you, each
and all, in the share that you take in the process of building a better
world. Faculty

Judicial Student Body
Tradition and consistent progress were typical characteristics of
the 1940-1941 Albany College Student Body. A week-end planning
Conference at Nelscott, including faculty members and the Student
Executive Council resulted in plans for a correlated Student Body
program which enabled all students to take part in the year's ac
tivities. Intramural sports were scheduled throughout the year.
The initial event of the year was the all-college picnic for new
students and alumni. The annual Hallowe' en Masquerade dance
provided the usual colorful gathering with many unusual costumes
being donned by students. The traditional Christmas party with
games, carolling, and dancing, highlighted the Christmas season.
The Student Body was also represented by their presentation of three
sacred concerts and two radio programs at Christmastime.
Albany's delegates to the annual convention of the Oregon
Federation of Collegiate Leaders, held at Linfield College, included
Ed Petersen, Norma Ruddock, Elsa Peterson, John Cram, Don Walker,
Harriet Campbell, Dorothy Moore and Bob Blanding.
The fifth annual Alumni Basketball Tournament proved outstand
ing, with student committees planning a Stag dinner and program,
providing entertainment for the eight visiting teams, and climaxing
the tournament with a dance in the Turn Verein auditorium.
"On Cooking with Gas," the All-College Show, was a new
feature this year, being originally written and produced by Student
Body members. The Executive Council was responsible for the
administration of all student activities, including the issuance of
Student Body cards, the "Orange Peal" and tickets to the Artists
Series. A new tradition was started by awarding honors to three men
and three women students for outstanding contributions of time and
talent to the college. Their names will be engraved on a bronze
placque. • SNAPSHOTS
CLASSES Senior Class
The college careers of seventeen Seniors culminated with the
Commencement exercises held at First Presbyterian on the night of
June 4. Reverend Montgomery gave the Baccalaureate address at
the Central Presbyterian church.
The Class of 1941 was feted by the Junior-Senior breakfast and
the annual dinner at which Dr. and Mrs. Clarence W. Greene were
hosts. Ariel Dam was the scene of the class picnic.
Regular business and social meetings were enjoyed at the homes
of the members; a program was presented in chapel, and each Senior
shared in preserving the traditions of the college.

Keynotes in the college music department.
The large number of interested students and brilliant instructors
together accomplished new highs this year in musical recognition
which forecasts an even more eventful program in the fall.
Voice pupils studied with Mrs. Bohlman, pianists with Mrs. M.
Steinmetz, Harmony students with Mr. Wagner, and students in
Music Theory, Sight Singing and Conducting with Mrs. Meier. The
conducting class spent one period in practical conducting technique,
and one day a week at the Poriland Public Library where the study
of early choral and instrumental music was enjoyed through hearing
these numbers recorded.
This year the chorus included thirty-two members; accompanists
were Lelia Morehead, Harriet Campbell, and Norman Fisher. As
an organization the chorus has acquitted itself with credit, singing
at numerous church and school functions in Portland. Perhaps the
greatest distinction of the year was the Spring Music Festival in
which Albany joined five other colleges of Oregon. The chorus has
also sung twice out-of-town, at Forest Grove, and at Nelscott, where
the group spent the week-end. Mrs. Meier directed the chorus as
well as the small groups, the sextet, male quartet, and girls' trio,
formed by some of the members of the chorus.
The eighteen members of the college orchestra, directed by Bob
McNiel, participated in several college affairs during the spring
semester.
One organization originating in the music department which
s~ould have recognition is the ensemble, "Patterns in Melody,"
directed by Bob McNiel, and composed of sixteen members some of
whom were outside of the college. '
To those who are members of the department and to those who
made up the listening audience, the past year has been one of
success and genuine pleasure. ,..
Chorus
Outstanding progress was evident during the year, when the
chorus of 35 voices, under the direction of Mrs. Emma B. Meier,
represented the college throughout the state. In addition lo furnishing
excellent chapel programs, the chorus also sang for the National
Christian Mission, at Pacific University in Forest Grove and at the
Rhododendron Festival at Nelscott. During the Christmas season the
Chorus was honored by giving two radio programs and three con
certs. In May, they participated in the Mass Concert presented by
five colleges of the Northwest at the Masonic Temple in Portland.

• May Court
The May Day festivities at Albany College this year were combined
with Homecoming and included two days of glorious activity.
Thursday night, May 1, things began with a bang at 7:30 with a
Noise Parade through downtown Portland. After this successful
opening, the crowd followed the police escort back to the college
where a social was held with singing, dancing and refreshments.
Following a night of anxiety over the weather, the Albany College
Student Body awoke to a gray sky. But regardless of rain, sleet or
any other kind of weather, May Day continued. At noon in the com
munity center building at Columbia Park everyone enjoyed a picnic
lunch sponsored by Alpha Gamma. Then came the highlight of the
occasion which was the coronation ceremonies, with Elaine Dahl
crowned queen.
Queen Elaine I and her court reigned throughout the day in
splendor and graciousness. The princesses were Norma Ruddock,
Catherine Lyon, Zedith Rumgay, Betty Coblentz, Elsa Peterson, and
Waunita Dye.
The May Day celebration closed with a formal dance to the music
of Hal Cook at the college. May Day • SNAPSHOTS
SPORTS Donald E Faber
It is customary, when the close of school nears, to say that
"athletics this year were better than ever before." But even though
we run the risk of being called trite, we do say that the sports program
of 1940-1941 was at least among the best ever completed at Albany
College.
This statement comes, not from some mellow visions of the p~st,
but from a close scanning of the records, and from figuring success
in the light of the aim of college sports.
As usual, Don Faber was right in the thick of it all, and, by the
way things seem lo click consistently when he is in charge, there
somehow arises the thought that Albany College students are quite
lucky to have someone like the "Bue mentor" around-someone
who, single-handedly, takes care of all athletics and yet finds time to
give individual attention to any student's problems.
The Stall Basketball
The varsity this year won 14 games and lost 10, and finished fourth in the
new Oregon Intercollegiate Conference, which consists of the three Oregon
Colleges of Education-at Ashland, Monmouth and LaGrande-Mount Angel
College and Albany College.
Next year the Bucs will play 16 conference games, the circuit schedule
of games having been doubled.
Outstanding in basketball this year was an unusual freedom from strife
among team members, and to this fact may be attributed some really phe
nomenal play on the part of the Buccaneers.
High scorers for the season were Co-captain Dan Koch, senior, with 215
points, and little Sam Tosti, freshman, with 210. Co-capt~ Chet Cardiff,
stalwart guard playing his fourth year for Albany, turned m a remarkable
season on the maplewood. Merlin Morey, senior, likewise finished his fourth
year of varsity competition.

In the first place, an exasperating set-up of a small squad, a practice field
miles away and a surprising number of players attending classes or working
in the late afternoon, did not augur well for a good season. Secondly, the
earlier publication date of the Corsair makes it impossible to tell what
happened to the Bucs during the season.
Merlin Morey, Chet Cardili and Leslie Pete finished their fourth year of
baseball for Albany.

Minor Sports
The minor sports enthusiast, whether out for exercise or for team
competition, enjoyed a unique position at Albany College because
of a new streamlined physical education program which the Director
of Athletics instituted.
This new program places emphasis on individual enjoyment and
development instead of favoring a select few to represent the school,
thus giving each student equal opportunity to participate. The minor
sports learns were up and doing, however, in competition with other
schools and organizations. Women's

Badminton To say merely that women's basketball didn't turn out so well would not
be giving a true picture of the women's hoop season. With more players out
for the team than ever before, with many of last year's regulars on hand, and
with an unquestionable enthusiasm, the Pirettes simply ran into too much
tough competition and finished in the cellar of the Class A ranks of the
city league.
About the most l

the matches were p

Badminton has always been a favored sport at Albany and last season
marked a new peak in its ascendency. Around the "Big Three" of veterans
Chet Cardiff, Del Ayers and Dick Zimmerman, Don Faber built a powerful
team, which defeated University of Oregon 5 to 2 by way of starling off the
season.
Standouts among the women shuttle-smashers were Freshmen Barbara
Tuttle, who took the city novice championship in singles, and Mildred
Horenstein, with whom she teamed to take the doubles crown in the same
tourney. Virginia Foleen proved to be the classiest of the veterans. Albany Women' sAthleticAssociation
The Albany Women's Athletic Association is limited to those women who
have been awarded letters for participation in one of the major sports at
Albany College.
During the past year the Association has participated in various intra
mural programs throughout the school and presented the basketball trophy
to the most valuable player on the varsity basketball squad.

Composed of those Albany College men who have won athletic awards
in major sport competition, the lettermen's club aids in fostering a con
structive athletic policy for the college. Assisting Coach Faber, the club
helped make the annual Alumni Basketball Tournament a success.

Albany College, Portland, Oregon Back in the days of that mythical giant, Paul Bunyan, Portland was just
part of a mighty forest. A forest that might well have been cut oil by Paul
himself. But the years have come and gone; Paul has departed into the dim
past and Portland has become a thriving metropolis. Today we have a new
giant, waterpower and the accompanying industrial development. So it is
that we have given this page to our city-the symbol of youthful ambitions
realized and the personification of industrial progress.

Clarence W. Greene
Our good wishes to all the members of the Albany College student
body of the college year 1940-19411 Congratulations to the student
leaders who in such fine cooperative spirit have shared in making
this a memorable year in the character of the college activities that
have given color and value to our college life!
Our college chorus, and other voice groups, our newly or
ganized college orchestra, our dramatic groups, our athletic teams,
our Christian Fellowship group, and our Student Body Organization
with its various subsidiary organizations have contributed largely lo
the development and enrichment of our entire college lile.
Some of the members of our college group have withdrawn from
college in order to participate in the program of military preparation
of our federal government. Other members of our group will soon
enter upon that program. Our best wishes go with them. However, in
spite of the cloud that hangs over the international horizon and the
state of unrest and apprehension that prevails among so many
people in our own country, may we keep in mind the fundamental
principles that give permanent stability to personal living, to the
social order and to government. Those principles are enunciated in
the "Sermon on the Mount." May our college provide some of the
leadership with vision and spiritual poise that will serve the next
generation in the process of reconstruction. May God bless you, each
and all, in the share that you take in the process of building a better
world. Faculty

Judicial Student Body
Tradition and consistent progress were typical characteristics of
the 1940-1941 Albany College Student Body. A week-end planning
Conference at Nelscott, including faculty members and the Student
Executive Council resulted in plans for a correlated Student Body
program which enabled all students to take part in the year's ac
tivities. Intramural sports were scheduled throughout the year.
The initial event of the year was the all-college picnic for new
students and alumni. The annual Hallowe' en Masquerade dance
provided the usual colorful gathering with many unusual costumes
being donned by students. The traditional Christmas party with
games, carolling, and dancing, highlighted the Christmas season.
The Student Body was also represented by their presentation of three
sacred concerts and two radio programs at Christmastime.
Albany's delegates to the annual convention of the Oregon
Federation of Collegiate Leaders, held at Linfield College, included
Ed Petersen, Norma Ruddock, Elsa Peterson, John Cram, Don Walker,
Harriet Campbell, Dorothy Moore and Bob Blanding.
The fifth annual Alumni Basketball Tournament proved outstand
ing, with student committees planning a Stag dinner and program,
providing entertainment for the eight visiting teams, and climaxing
the tournament with a dance in the Turn Verein auditorium.
"On Cooking with Gas," the All-College Show, was a new
feature this year, being originally written and produced by Student
Body members. The Executive Council was responsible for the
administration of all student activities, including the issuance of
Student Body cards, the "Orange Peal" and tickets to the Artists
Series. A new tradition was started by awarding honors to three men
and three women students for outstanding contributions of time and
talent to the college. Their names will be engraved on a bronze
placque. • SNAPSHOTS
CLASSES Senior Class
The college careers of seventeen Seniors culminated with the
Commencement exercises held at First Presbyterian on the night of
June 4. Reverend Montgomery gave the Baccalaureate address at
the Central Presbyterian church.
The Class of 1941 was feted by the Junior-Senior breakfast and
the annual dinner at which Dr. and Mrs. Clarence W. Greene were
hosts. Ariel Dam was the scene of the class picnic.
Regular business and social meetings were enjoyed at the homes
of the members; a program was presented in chapel, and each Senior
shared in preserving the traditions of the college.

Keynotes in the college music department.
The large number of interested students and brilliant instructors
together accomplished new highs this year in musical recognition
which forecasts an even more eventful program in the fall.
Voice pupils studied with Mrs. Bohlman, pianists with Mrs. M.
Steinmetz, Harmony students with Mr. Wagner, and students in
Music Theory, Sight Singing and Conducting with Mrs. Meier. The
conducting class spent one period in practical conducting technique,
and one day a week at the Poriland Public Library where the study
of early choral and instrumental music was enjoyed through hearing
these numbers recorded.
This year the chorus included thirty-two members; accompanists
were Lelia Morehead, Harriet Campbell, and Norman Fisher. As
an organization the chorus has acquitted itself with credit, singing
at numerous church and school functions in Portland. Perhaps the
greatest distinction of the year was the Spring Music Festival in
which Albany joined five other colleges of Oregon. The chorus has
also sung twice out-of-town, at Forest Grove, and at Nelscott, where
the group spent the week-end. Mrs. Meier directed the chorus as
well as the small groups, the sextet, male quartet, and girls' trio,
formed by some of the members of the chorus.
The eighteen members of the college orchestra, directed by Bob
McNiel, participated in several college affairs during the spring
semester.
One organization originating in the music department which
s~ould have recognition is the ensemble, "Patterns in Melody,"
directed by Bob McNiel, and composed of sixteen members some of
whom were outside of the college. '
To those who are members of the department and to those who
made up the listening audience, the past year has been one of
success and genuine pleasure. ,..
Chorus
Outstanding progress was evident during the year, when the
chorus of 35 voices, under the direction of Mrs. Emma B. Meier,
represented the college throughout the state. In addition lo furnishing
excellent chapel programs, the chorus also sang for the National
Christian Mission, at Pacific University in Forest Grove and at the
Rhododendron Festival at Nelscott. During the Christmas season the
Chorus was honored by giving two radio programs and three con
certs. In May, they participated in the Mass Concert presented by
five colleges of the Northwest at the Masonic Temple in Portland.

light of this year was the alliliation with the Inter-Varsity Christian
Fellowship, with delegates being sent to their conference at Silver
Creek in April.

The May Day festivities at Albany College this year were combined
with Homecoming and included two days of glorious activity.
Thursday night, May 1, things began with a bang at 7:30 with a
Noise Parade through downtown Portland. After this successful
opening, the crowd followed the police escort back to the college
where a social was held with singing, dancing and refreshments.
Following a night of anxiety over the weather, the Albany College
Student Body awoke to a gray sky. But regardless of rain, sleet or
any other kind of weather, May Day continued. At noon in the com
munity center building at Columbia Park everyone enjoyed a picnic
lunch sponsored by Alpha Gamma. Then came the highlight of the
occasion which was the coronation ceremonies, with Elaine Dahl
crowned queen.
Queen Elaine I and her court reigned throughout the day in
splendor and graciousness. The princesses were Norma Ruddock,
Catherine Lyon, Zedith Rumgay, Betty Coblentz, Elsa Peterson, and
Waunita Dye.
The May Day celebration closed with a formal dance to the music
of Hal Cook at the college. May Day • SNAPSHOTS
SPORTS Donald E Faber
It is customary, when the close of school nears, to say that
"athletics this year were better than ever before." But even though
we run the risk of being called trite, we do say that the sports program
of 1940-1941 was at least among the best ever completed at Albany
College.
This statement comes, not from some mellow visions of the p~st,
but from a close scanning of the records, and from figuring success
in the light of the aim of college sports.
As usual, Don Faber was right in the thick of it all, and, by the
way things seem lo click consistently when he is in charge, there
somehow arises the thought that Albany College students are quite
lucky to have someone like the "Bue mentor" around-someone
who, single-handedly, takes care of all athletics and yet finds time to
give individual attention to any student's problems.
The Stall Basketball
The varsity this year won 14 games and lost 10, and finished fourth in the
new Oregon Intercollegiate Conference, which consists of the three Oregon
Colleges of Education-at Ashland, Monmouth and LaGrande-Mount Angel
College and Albany College.
Next year the Bucs will play 16 conference games, the circuit schedule
of games having been doubled.
Outstanding in basketball this year was an unusual freedom from strife
among team members, and to this fact may be attributed some really phe
nomenal play on the part of the Buccaneers.
High scorers for the season were Co-captain Dan Koch, senior, with 215
points, and little Sam Tosti, freshman, with 210. Co-capt~ Chet Cardiff,
stalwart guard playing his fourth year for Albany, turned m a remarkable
season on the maplewood. Merlin Morey, senior, likewise finished his fourth
year of varsity competition.

In the first place, an exasperating set-up of a small squad, a practice field
miles away and a surprising number of players attending classes or working
in the late afternoon, did not augur well for a good season. Secondly, the
earlier publication date of the Corsair makes it impossible to tell what
happened to the Bucs during the season.
Merlin Morey, Chet Cardili and Leslie Pete finished their fourth year of
baseball for Albany.

Minor Sports
The minor sports enthusiast, whether out for exercise or for team
competition, enjoyed a unique position at Albany College because
of a new streamlined physical education program which the Director
of Athletics instituted.
This new program places emphasis on individual enjoyment and
development instead of favoring a select few to represent the school,
thus giving each student equal opportunity to participate. The minor
sports learns were up and doing, however, in competition with other
schools and organizations. Women's
Basketball
Tennis
Badminton To say merely that women's basketball didn't turn out so well would not
be giving a true picture of the women's hoop season. With more players out
for the team than ever before, with many of last year's regulars on hand, and
with an unquestionable enthusiasm, the Pirettes simply ran into too much
tough competition and finished in the cellar of the Class A ranks of the
city league.
About the most l
both a men's and w
the matches were p
impossible lo speak
Badminton has always been a favored sport at Albany and last season
marked a new peak in its ascendency. Around the "Big Three" of veterans
Chet Cardiff, Del Ayers and Dick Zimmerman, Don Faber built a powerful
team, which defeated University of Oregon 5 to 2 by way of starling off the
season.
Standouts among the women shuttle-smashers were Freshmen Barbara
Tuttle, who took the city novice championship in singles, and Mildred
Horenstein, with whom she teamed to take the doubles crown in the same
tourney. Virginia Foleen proved to be the classiest of the veterans. Albany Women' sAthleticAssociation
The Albany Women's Athletic Association is limited to those women who
have been awarded letters for participation in one of the major sports at
Albany College.
During the past year the Association has participated in various intra
mural programs throughout the school and presented the basketball trophy
to the most valuable player on the varsity basketball squad.

helped make the annual Alumni Basketball Tournament a success.
