The officers of the National Alumni Association and the Booster Club are gratified that alumni have seen and accepted the need of Oglethorpe for their support. Some alumni have contributed with- out knowing exactly what their gifts were doing and others have been re- luctant to contribute for the same rea- son. As a result, the officers feel the alumni should be given answers to their recurring questions. Typical questions and the answers are listed below: 1. To what funds can I contribute? Thranhardt, Schmidt Elected NAAOU, OABC Prexies Fun day has become a synonym for Homecoming Day. The 1959 issue of the annual event was deemed a big success by the 300 alumni and friends who attended. Festivities began with the Oglethorpe-Clemson baseball game on Her- mance Field. While the Petrels lost 6-2 to the Tigers, who subsequently reached the NCAA playoffs, the grads got an inkling of things to come. The Birds will have virtually the same team next year plus additional strength on the mound and at the plate. Coach Frank Anderson was elated with the squad's showing He also dis- played his sense of humor as he quipped with many alumni who played for him during his 28-year reigr. at Ogle- The alumni have three separate areas in which they can help: a. National Alumni Dues b. Forward Oglethorpe Fund c. Booster Club How do I make out the check? All checks or money orders are made out to Oglethorpe University for tax deduction purposes. A no- tation should be made in the lower left hand corner to denote the spe- cific fund(s) to be credited with your gift. How is the money used? Checks earmarked "Alumni Dues" support general alumni activities in- cluding The Flying Petrel, Home- coming Day. dinner dances and other special activities as well as serving as an emergency fund for student extra-curricular activities Forward Oglethorpe Funds are placed at the disposal of Dr. Ag- new to help the most critical areas of the Oglethorpe program. See the complete breakdown in another ar- ticle in this issue as to how the Fund was used last year its first year. Booster Club dues and gifts are used to aid the physical education, intramural and varsity programs. The major emphasis dur- ing 1958-59 was in the varsity pro- gram in the form of grant-in-aids. What are the fiscal years for each (continued page 3) tnorpe. The Duchess Club served post-game coffee in the Great Hall, after which annual meetings of the NAAOU and the OABC weVe held. Dr. Agnew spoke briefly at the NAAOU meeting. He outlined the added potentialities the fieldhouse would give Oglethorpe including ade- quate facilities for indoor physical education, intramural and varsity ac- tivities, a center for revenue producing enterprises, and a focal point on cam- pus which would aid student recruit- ment and fund raising efforts. Howard "Nappy" Thranhardt '35 led the slate of officers nominated by the Nominating Committee who were elected to office unanimously. Other officers are: O. K. Sheffield '53, first vice-president; Sam Hirsh, Jr. '50, second vice-president; Francis Scott Key '38, third vice-president; Tommie Carper '37, secretary; and Mary Ash- er '43, treasurer.

FORWARD OGLETHORPE FUND REPORT Dr. Agnew and the NAAOU officers wish to thank all alumni who have generously contributed to the Forward Oglethorpe Fund during its first year m operation. More than $1, 400 was leccivcd, which is an excellent beginning. To a great extent, the progress of Oglethorpe is tied to the results of this fund. As noted in the report which follows the greatest amount was used to supplement faculty salaries, the largest single need at Oglethorpe. Report on Expenditure of Forward Oglethorpe Funds for 1958-1959 Total Income $1,446.50 Grant-ln-Aid for Student Employment $200.00 (These funds were added to the student employment budget which is used to assist some 50 students who are working their way in whole or in part through Oglethorpe.) Faculty Salary Supplement $400.00 (Oglethorpe must continue to upgrade its faculty salaries to keep its superior teaching staff and to attract additional tap flight people. College teachers are in short supply and indications arc that the supply zvill become increasingly more critical during the coming decade.) Student Activity Fund Supplement $300.00 (.-/ well-rounded extra curricular program is important to the de- velopment of well-rounded students.) Student Lounge Improvements $119.88 (77' sets were purchased for Goodman Hall lounge and the neivly created lounge in Lowry Hall. Inadequate lighting in Goodman Lounge is being corrected.) Campaign Expenses $426.62 (A necessary evil in all fund raising ventures.) Total Expenses $1,446.50 If you approve of the manner in which these funds were used, please endorse this program with another generous contribution. To you who have already expressed your confidence with a gift, thank you very much. The Flying Petrel EXECUTIVES PLEASE NOTE The following is a reprint from the May, 1959 issue of Memo from Bonnie DeKalb, ;i news letter published by the DeKalb Office Equipment Co. It should be of interest to alumni who own their own businesses or who are in- strumental in formulating their companies' fiscal programs. A TAX DOLLAR SAVED IS MORE THAN A DOLLAR EARNED In effect, that's the paradox of today's high tax rates. For example, the table below shows that a tax saving of SI 00 is the equivalent of over SI. 000 in sales, in a business which has a 20' ; profit margin. . . . The Sales Equivalent of a SI 00 Tax Saving (Profit margin is on sales before taxes. Fiuures are rounded off.) At profit margin of : 26', 24 22 20 18 16 14 12 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 I $1110 tax saving rc|nals sales of : $ 800 870 450 1,050 1,160 1,300 1 ,490 1,740 2,080 2,310 2,600 2,980 3,470 4.170 5,210 6,940 10,420 20,830 By comparison $100 cost- saving equals sales of : S 380 420 450 500 550 620 710 830 1 .000 1.1 10 1,250 1,430 1.670 2,000 2,500 3,330 5,000 10,000 This emphasizes that a tax dollar saved is worth almost twice as much as a cost-saving of one dollar. Again taking a company with 20', profit margin before tax, S100 saved by cost-cutting will be the equivalent, net, of around S500 in added sales as against a net equivalent of about SI, 000 if the saving is in the form of tax reduction. it may be hard to believe, but it's a fact that a company with, say a 10', profit margin, gains the equivalent of almost $21,000 in new sales by saving S 1 ,000 in taxes. "And note this: where profit margins are smaller, the "tax lever" means greatly amplified savings. For a company whose margin is, say, 4%, a SI, 000 tax saving is the equivalent of more than S50.000 in additional sales volume! "If you'd like to work out what a given tax saving would mean in sales equivalent for your company, just fill in this simple formula: 1. Jot down the tax saving you have in mind S50 . . . S100 . . . SI, 000 and divide by 48', (assuming the company is in the 52% bracket). 2. Divide this amount by your percentage profit margin. 3. The result will show the sales equivalent of tax saving in your case." Need we add that company gifts to Oglethorpe, a non-profit organization, will save tax dollars? July, 1959 QUESTIONS {continued) of the funds? All funds have the same fiscal year, which begins and ends on Home- coming Day. 5. What is Oglethorpe's greatest as- set? Informed, interested and active alumni. 6. Are there different ways to give? Yes. In addition to cash (including checks.) other real or personal pro- perty can be turned over to any of the funds or directly to Oglethorpe. Some alumni find it advantageous to give stocks or bonds. 7. Is active itluiuni participation limit- ed to graduates? No. Records are kept on all per- sons who attended Oglethorpe. 8 Can I give mv annual gift in in- stallments? Yes. Several alumni mail their gifts in three installments as suggested in the campaign literature. If you prefer, several checks, each post- dated in different months, can be sent at the same time. The alumnus will receive additional credit after each check is deposited. Other methods which might make it more convenient for you would probably be equally acceptable. 9. Is there a limit to how much I can give to any fund? No. Actually, due to the present Federal Income Tax Structure, alumni in high tax brackets may find it to their advantage to give a sizeable sum. However, they should keep in mind that whether they give to all funds or single out one, they are, for tax-deduction purposes, giv- ing to one non-profit organization Oglethorpe University. 10. Can alumni meetings be arranged for in my area? Very probably, especially in Geor- gia and adjacent states. Notify the Alumni Office if you are interested in having a meeting, and we will send out the notices if desired. 11. Can I get information about Ogle- thorpe, especially that concerned with the admission of students from the Alumni Office? Yes. The principal function of the Alumni Office is to serve as liason between the alumni and the Uni- versity. It is suggested that questions pertaining to admission to Ogle- thorpe be directed to the Director of Admissions However, if re- quested the Alumni Office will send application blanks or catalogs to alumni. Page 3 WE NEED YOUR ADVICE Though never realized, perfection must he continually and aggressively sought. The Flying Petrel, your official news medium, is far from perfection. In its pages each quarter are news stories which give you a cross section of Ogle- thorpe, past, present and future. We would like to include additional information that you do not now find in The Flying Petrel but which you feel would be of general alumni in- terest. In addition, the Alumni Office is anxious to know how it can be of greater service to you. Please write the Editor your sug- gestions so that both The Flying Pe- trel and the Alumni Office can serve you better. H-DAY (continued) '36. Sydney Mobley '59 is the senior class representative, and William C. Perkins '29, the representative from the Oglethorpe Board of Trustees. "'I've had the best time of my life since two o'clock today," said Coach Anderson at the Booster Club Meet- ing. He added, "Memories come surg- ing in like the tides of the ocean." He then iaunched into a short but fast- paced series of anecdotes, some new, some familiar, as only Coach Frank can. He ended by saying, "Your coach . . . has done a magnificent job. Let's back him up. I mean let's back him up with a check." The crowd gave him a standing ovation. Steve Schmidt '40 was re-elected president of OABC. Others elected are: Cecil Moon '36, first vice-presi- dent; Dr. Willard T. Hunnicut '33, second vice-president; James E. Hen- derson, Jr. '52, secretary-treasurer; and Billy Carter '59, graduating repre- sentative. The new Board of Directors is headed by James H Hinson, Jr. '49, chairman, and George Kolowich, Jr.. '43, vice-chairman. Other members are Donald J. Bloemer '53, Dr. J. Gor- don Brackett '42, Wendell W. Crowe '25, Robert B. Oliver '57, and William C. Perkins '29. Following the meetings, a delicious smorgasbord dinner was served in the cafeteria. Campus activities were climaxed by the Oglethorpe Player's production of "The Lady's Not For Burning," one of the finest and most professionally done plays presented in recent years.

The Flying Petrel PETRELS POST BEST SEASON IN DECADE Leaning heavily on the battery. Tommy Norwood and Billy Carter, the Petrel nine racked up their best season in ten years with a 9-3 record. Billy Carter, who played catcher last year for the first time in his life, led the squad in batting; sporting a neat .400 average and a .700 slugging average. He topped the team in runs scored, too, with 17. Tommy Norwood, a freshman, pit- ched a 7-2 win-loss record this sea- son and was runner-up at the plate to Carter with a .375 average. Norwood also is credited with 12 RBI's, high- est for the team. Harold Adair, the only non-basketball player on the squad, followed closely with a .351 average and scored 14 runs. Fresh- man Jay Rowland with a .320 batting average rounds out the four over-. 300 batters. These four boys crossed the plate 51 of the 81 runs scored this season. Carter, Norwood and Roger Couch accounted for all of the homeruns with two apiece. Joe Sewell, plagued by an infection on his hands all season, edged Nor- wood in pitching with 2.12 earned runs per game. Norwood had a 2.22. Sewell won two games and lost none. The Petrels ended their season standing second in the GIAC, one game off the pace. Piedmont, which took the championship, was never able to play their last game due to weather conditions. If they had played and lost, Oglethorpe would have tied for first, and a play-off would have been necessary. But these are things that might have been. During the regular season, the Birds split with Piedmont. One of the losses this year was against Clemson's Tigers, the top coll- legiate team in the South. The alumni saw Oglethorpe lose by a very credit- able 6-2 in a game that was close and exciting all the way. Roger Couch led the Petrel attack with a 375 foot homerun. Only two men on this year's team will not be back for 1 960:' Billy Car- ter and first baseman Frankie Lentz. As of now, Oglethorpe needs a catch- er. First base will be occupied by southpaw Morris Mitchell who smack- ed a four-hundred foot homerun this year in the Georgia High School All- Star game. The mound corps will be strengthened by the addition of John- July, 1959 BOOST THE PETRELS In May I had the pleasure of watch- ing Coach Pinholster and the Petrel basketball team in several spring prac- tice sessions. Now 1 know it wasn't luck or an accident that we won 24 games last year. Every minute of the practice session is well organized and every ball player works intelligent!) with 100 per cent effort. If you could see this team, you would be as en- thusiastic and proud of it as I am. If you can possibly see the Petrels play this season don't miss them. Last year they had a great team. 1 be- lieve this team can possibly be better. Don't be a bit surprised if your Petrels beat Georgia on December 1 . (You're on the spot, Coach.) Now, let's get behind this program and support it with your interest and your dollars. May we remind you to keep in mind the three fund raising projects: The "Oglethorpe Move" (Cherry Transfer and Storage Co., MUrrav 8-6660), The "Petrel Pool" (Buttril'l Builders, DRake 3-6644) and The "Oulethorpe Car" (Beaudry Ford, JAckson 2-3296). Steve Schmidt President, OABC Beaudry Ford Joins OABC Beaudry Ford in Atlanta has agreed to boost the Petrels by contributing S25.00 to the OABC for each new or late model used car and truck it sells as a result of Oglethorpe Alumni leads. Beaudry is a reputable Atlanta firm in its 43rd year of operation. This is another way that you can boost the Petrels with no expense to you. Remember the OABC will receive credit for an "Oglethorpe Car", "Ogle- thorpe Move", and "Petrel Pool" whether an alumnus or anyone else asks that credit be given. Here are the names of the firms that we have in our corner: Beaudry Ford Buttrill Builders (Esther Williams pools) Cherry Transfer & Storage Co. P. S.

FIRST PROCEEDS FROM OGLETHORPE MOVES More than S200 dollars has been turned over to the OABC by Cherry Transfer and Storage Co. as a result of Oglethorpe moves. In addition, approximately eight Oglethorpe moves are presently being negotiated. Page 5 REMINISCING WITH THE WENDELL BROWNS This is the season when the most popular part of the campus is Lake Phoebe. No matter how old an alum- nus you are, you probably remember the lake, under one name or another, as a part of college life. And the lake was there long before you were. Some ten years ago, we met a man, probab- ly around sixty-five, who had played there as a boy and who introduced us to his mother, let us not ask how old a woman is. She averred that the dam had been there when she came to the neighborhood seventy-five years be- fore. If this is true, Lake Phoebe is one of the oldest bodies of water in these parts. When Oglethorpe moved to this campus, the lake, then Silver Lake, and the property around it were in the hands of the Silver Lake Park Com- pany and later of the Lake Forest De- velopment Company. In 1936, Wil- liam Randolph Hearst bought the whole area and presented it to Ogle- thorpe, whereupon the name of the lake was changed to Phoebe in honor of his mother. During the years of World War II when the campus had fallen on evil days, the lake had degenerated into a hangout for squatters and other riff- raff The beach was mud studded with tin cans and broken bottles; broken- down shacks were holding together here and there; and old, snake-infested walkways sagged into the water along the shore. A committee of alumni, trustees, and faculty was formed in the fall of 1944 to clean it up. It was done, mainly by alumni, I might say. We remember particularly Tom Bar- tenfeld '24, who donated time, trucks, and other equipment to snake logs and debris out of the water. All buildings were torn down, the beach cleaned, sand brought in, a retaining wall made, and a fine bath house (now de- stroyed by vandalism) built. For three years we let the public in for a price, but since then it has been for the exclusive use of Oglethorpe people. Perhaps the most interesting episode connected with the lake occurred in the early twenties. An Oglethorpe marksman, who shall be nameless, shot the bolts off the drain valve of the dam, whereupon the usual hap- pened, and the lake disappeared. As the level fell, fish collected in the remaining water, some enterprising students, Frank Sims '22 and Edgar Watkins '23, to mention two, trucked them out to sell to the fish market.

DR. SINCLAIR '22 RECEIVES LEMON AWARD Dr. Walton B. Sinclair "22, Pro- fessor of Biochemistry and Chairman of the Department of Plant Bioche- mistry at the Riverside campus of the University of California, received the coveted Lemon Men's Club an- nual Award of Honor in May. The award was given to the Citrus Experiment Station scientist for his contributions to the California citrus industry through research on the bio- chemisry of citrus fruits. In addition, the club cited: "Pro- fessor Sinclair's investigations of pec- tic constituents of fruit, carbohydrates and organic acids in peel, pulp and juice, composition of granulated fruit and effects of environment and root stock on fruit composition. "This research has 'provided inval- uable information leading to improve- ments in production, handling and processing'." the citation noted. "He is also an international authori- ty on the effects of gaseous fumigants on plants with contributions ranging from the first fundamental informa- tion on the effects of cyanide on cit- rus to current investigations of bro- mine fumigants in the control of fruit flies."
