WILKES ALUMNUS When I assumed office as general secretary last fall there was a tremendous amount of organization and work to do. Now that I am leaving office I see that the same is still true. My satisfaction therefore comes from noting the progress that I attempted to mark throughout the year. There is much work left for my successors, for attempting to integrate a group of alumni scattered across the country and engaged in their own tasks can be neither a simple nor speedy task. Let us then look back at 1948-1949 and "take stock". Official Publication of the Wilkes College Alumni Association EDITOR — REESE E. PELTON SPORTS EDITOR — THOMAS J. MORAN TYPIST — JANE W.

Three hundred and fifty alumni saw Wilkes again defeat King’s and then at­ tended the crowded sport dance that folllowed. Satur­ day evening a large group attended the alumni banquet that terminated the celebration so successfully. Future Homecomings, if exploited properly, should prove to be increasingly greater successes. Other social highlights cf the year were the an­ nual Christmas dance, a smoker, and various meet­ ings of the central Wilkes-Barre Club. Over one hun­ dred couples danced at the annual Yuletide Ball. Here at the alumni office much work has been done. Besides the gathering of information for the magazine there was the work of answering correspon­ dence and requests from alumni. Another job, of prime importance, was the compilation of an indexed file on all graduates and convocants. Coupled with this was the revision and compilation of an addressograph file cf the same group for mailing purposes. These then were our most important achievements. The job has merely begun. However, the value of an integrated alumni group cannot be overestimated and constant work towards such a goal is the only tool that can bring success. F ubli.sh.ed Quarterly at: WILKES COLLEGE ALUMNI First of all there was this magazine. It has proved to be a practical method of intra-alumni communica­ tion; something for which the association has long had need. The suggestions and communications received in connection with this innovation was indeed grati­ fying. While in itself it cannot hope to unify the alum­ ni, it can and has done a great deal of work toward that goal. OFFICE Therefore, as my tenure of office comes to a close, I wish to thank President Williams and all members of the organization who have assisted me in trying to lay a groundwork for those who will follow. If the past has glimmered with the light of success, the future should shine even more brightly. Chase Hall 184 South River Street, Wilkes-Barre, Pa. VOLUME I NUMBER 4 Reese E. Pelton, General Secretary 1948-1949 Second class graduates Two hundred and fifty-five students, comprising the second graduating class in the history of Wilkes, received degrees and certificates at the Second Annual Commenecment Exercises. The ceremony was held Monday evening, June 13, at the Irem Temple, WilkesBarre, Pa. Mr. Adrian Pelt, Assistant Secretary-Gen­ eral in the Department of Conferences and General Services of the United Nations Secretariat, was prin­ cipal speaker. Dr. Eugene Farley also addressed the graduates briefly, and introduced President Spencer of Bucknell University who conferred the degrees on the graduates for the second and last time. Beginning with next year's class, graduates will receive Wilkes College degrees instead of those of Bucknell Univer­ sity. Concordia Singing Society, under the baton of Mr. Charles Davis, presented a group of two selections. This was in keeping with the dedication of a plaque to the late Professor Paul "Pop" Gies, first director of the Wilkes College School of Music and former direct­ or of this male chorus. Mr. Donald Cobleigh, present director of the music school, played the organ for the academic procession and recessional. Two awards were given to graduates. The En­ gineering Award, given for outstanding work in that field went to Joseph Teno, and the Dobson Accounting Award for the best work in that field was earned by Jerome Mintzer. Marjorie Tyler Green graduated summa cum laude. Five graduates graduated cum laude; they were Jean Hartman, Jerome Mintzer, Robert Riley, Charles Schneiderhan, James Spanos, Leonard Swicklick, Donald Vemall. A breakdown of statistics shows that one hundred and ninety persons received bachelors degrees. This figure includes those students who completed their work in September and January but who did not at that time receive their diplomas. A closer inspection of statistics reveals the following figures on graduates: .... 58 A. B. ___ 82 B. S. in Commerce & Finance ------27 B. S. in Biology .. . ----------------.... 10 B. S. in Education — ... 8 B. S. in Chemistry 5 B. S. in Commercial Education ------- . In addition to these graduates, sixty-five indivi­ duals received certificates for the completion of term­ inal courses or the first two years of engineering work. Two people received certificates as laboratory techni­ cians. five finished the two-year secretarial course, and fifty-eight engineers completed two-years of work. Engineers must complete their junior and senior years of work at other institutions under present conditions. (Cover Story) Magical Midnight. Time: The magic hour of 12. Place: Rocky Glen Aquadium. Event: Placing of the glass slipper on Cinderella. Johnny Long, nationally famous dance orchestra leader and featured band of the third Annual Cinder­ ella Ball, places the specially constructed glass slipper on the 1949 Cinderella, Elaine Turner of Nanticoke, Pa. Miss Turner, a member of the freshman class was qiven the honor by a vote of the student body. Her Majesty received everything from a diamond ring to a tiny puppy as gifts. �On Campus . .. Cinderella Dance - cold but successful About 800 couples attended the most successful Cinderella Bah in the history of Wilkes. Thet new Rocky Glen Aquadium, a huge aance haU built out over a lake, presented pleasant surroundings, and Johnny Long and his Orchestra produced pleasant music to match. The cool evening prevented dancers from usincr the promenade walk around the Aquadium and even made the inside temperature a bit cool. In keeping with tradition, the eleven electea can­ didates for “Cinderella" were presented at midnight in a colorful ceremony. A glass slipper, built to fit only the winner, was tried on the feet of each candidate by Johnny Long who proclaimed Elaine Turner, a mem­ ber of the freshman class to be the 1949 winner. Miss Turner was then presented with a multitude of gifts donated by local merchants that included everything from a diamond ring to a tiny puppy. The evening will long last in the memory of those who attended. Wilkes College on the air Wilkes College took to the airways during the last semester when radio station WHWL in Nanticoke offered its equipment, and radio time for a program to be heard three times weekly as "Wilkes College On The Air". At first it was doubted that Wilkes College had enougn activity to keep a 15-minute program going three time a week but every member of the faculty and administration helped and the colleae produced 27 radio shows over WHWL.

Donald Follmer played a clarinet solo*1 companied by Director Reese E. Pelton, and The City was played as a trumpet duet with band accom paniment by Carl Strye and John Badman. This concert completed the band's third year 0< existence. It was organized in September, 1946 by its present director, Mr. Pelton, one week before the col leges first gridiron contest, at which it appeared thirty strong. From that beginning it has evolved as a wellestablished campus organization with uniforms and equipment. This year the band has appeared at all football games, several local parades, and their second annual concert, which marked the last appearance of the band under the baton of Director Pelton. The year 1948-1949, and especially the second semester of the year, proved to be the most outstand­ ing in the recent history of the women's organizations of Wilkes, now known as Theta Delta Rho. A con­ siderable schedule of activities was instituted by the officers of the organization, Dean of Women, Betty Harker, and Head Resident of Weckesser Hall, Mrs. Davis. Many of these activities are expected to be­ come traditional affairs. Among the most often-held, popular affairs were the teas given by the women. In February and March two teas were given to honor senior high school girls of Wyoming Valley schools. Each of these events attracted almost one hundred students. The guests were conducted on a tour of the campus and exposed to the life of Wilkes. In April, by popular demand, the Theta's held an all-college tea. A program of musical numbers was featured and a portion of the affair was broadcast over a local station. This was followed in May by a Mothers' Day Tea held in Weckesser Dormitory. It is expected that this event will be a regular feature of each year's social calendar. In April the girls deviated from their tea schedule long enough to sponsor a most successful card party to raise funds for the organization. Senior dinner and trophy Lettermen produce musical revue May 25 and 26 were the production dates, the let­ termen were the characters, Kingston High was the place, and the occasion was the first all-male revue and college. The show was entitled, “All 5Un and was a satire based on well-known events ancJ people on the campus. Play director Al Groh i were responsible for the book and Ted Warakomski, a student, wrote some original music for ne show. The orchestra, dance routines, and clever dialogue made a big hit with audiences. Probably most outstanding was a "can-can" routine done by a ^j^'Stepping chorus of twenty that included Coach —The success of this revue has practically assured its continuance in years to come. The second annual Junior-Senior Dinner in honor of the graduating senior girls was held in the college cafeteria early in May. As is customary, members of the junior class served as hostesses for the affair. Mrs. Farley, Dean Harker, and Head Resident Davis were guests of the organization. Mrs. G. Williams, Assistand Professor of English, was principal speaker. I® The opening program was heard on April 4, when Dr. Eugene E. Farley presented the 6ning address and told about the growth of Wilkes°P ’S^ . —if ^founded in 1933 as BuckneD University Junior Three oeople worked each show.

For the first time in the history of Wilkes College an award for overall scholarship was presented to the graduating girl with the highest average,. Winner of this scholarship cup, known as the Deans Dc“: Award, was Marjorie Tyler Green of Wilkes-Barre. This re­ ward of outstanding academic achievement will be presented annually at the dinner. New officers installed Recently elected officers of the Thetas were in­ stalled during the past month. The new officers are: President, Marilyn Broadt; Vice-President, Peggy Anthony; Secretary, Jo Ann Davis; Treasurer, Virginia Bolen, and Social Chairman, Mary Porter. The social calendar for next fall has already been drawn up and will include a fashion show, a tea dance, a Hallowe'en masquerade party, a Valentine dance, and a wiener roast. Another innovation for the group is the new Com­ mittee on Orientation that will work with the faculty­ in trying to help freshmen adjust themselves to their new collegiate environment. It is hoped that this group will be the answer to many initial frosh problems. Jackets and Songs With the advent of spring the female collegians suddenly blossomed forth in smart white blazers. Questioning revealed that the attire was the new and official Theta Delta Rho blazer and would be seen in ever-increasing numbers. Each jacket has the emblem of the club sewed on its pocket. The blazers were purchased by individual club members after some discussion on color and style. Not to be outdone in the field of music the Thetas recently came up with their own song. The selection was written by Norma Jean Persian! of the organization. Before long the soothing sound of female voices will be heard above those of even the deep-throated male campus crooners. New building to campus Wilkes College plant facilities were recently ex­ panded by the addition of the property of the late Dr. S. P. Mengel at 181 South Franklin St. This is the twelfth building to be acquired by Wilkes. Beside the buildings two plots of land are owned; one is now used as a parking area and the other is to be the site of the proposed gymnasium. Renovation of the new building is almost com­ pleted. When entirely converted it will house class­ rooms and offices. The purchase of this property means that the college may not need the facilities of the central city Baptist and Presbyterian Churches which have been graciously offered and used for the past two years. A new, picturesque walk from Chase Hall, around the back of the Theatre Workshop, and through a newly erected opening in the old brick wall, wifi en­ able students to go from South River Street properties to the Mengel property. The spacious lawns of the property will mean potential area for parties. A gar­ age in the rear of the hall will also be utilized for col­ lege purposes. �WHAT WE'RE DOING This issue of the ALUMNUS will be devoted to a listing of all four year grads about whom we have information.

By TOM MORAN Public Relations Director yl year in sports The 1948-49 sports season at Wilkes College re­ vealed one thing. Wilkes College is now among the leading sports colleges in its class in Pennsylvania. The record books reveal that the Colonel institu­ tion participated intercollegiately in five sports—foot­ ball, basketball, baseball, wrestling and swimming. Besides the five key sports, the college had soccer on an intramural trial basis during the 1948-49 season and plans to enter the intercollegiate competition next year. A well-balanced intramural program of football, basketball, softball and bowling rounded out a year's schedule of athletics at the institution. Looking at the sports individually and viewing the past season and the prospects for next year, football seems to be the big man on the horse for next year. Like basketball and baseball, football is coached by the director of athletics, George F. Ralston, a man with a never-ending amount of energy and drive, Rals­ ton has hopes of fielding his finest eleven in 1949. The next grid season will be the last time that most of the men who were on the first team—in 1946 —will be playing in a blue and gold uniform. The ex­ perience gained by them in their past seasons of ball will undoubtedly serve them and the college well next season. The over-all record for Wilkes football is fine. The books reveal that the college has run up 18 wins, three losses, and two ties. That record will stand among the best ever produced in the country. One of the odd things is the fact that the first year the institution enter­ ed the ranks of the football elevens in the country, Wilkes was undefeated with six wins and no losses. The schedule for next season includes such new opponen's as the University of Bridgeport, Ithaca Col­ lege, and Upsala College. Returning as foes for the Colonels will be Bloomsburg STC, St. Francis College, Lycoming College, Rider College, National Agricultural College, and King's College. Jumping back to the 1948-49 sports seasons, basket­ ball was another of the thrilling activities in the athletic pregram for the past year. The Colonels produced cne ol their best teams and had a nice record of 13 wins and five losses. The only bad part of the five losses was in the fact that two of the smudges were inflicted by the city rival King's College. One of these years the tide will change and Wilkes will lose a football game and win both basketball contests. Ever since the sports relations were started between the two schools it has been the other way around. Wilkes has three wins in football to King's zero, while t e Monarchs hold six wins in basketball for three seasons to a big "goose-egg" for the Colonels in the cage sport. During the wrestling season, which was under the leadership of Cromwell Thomas, Wilkes had five wins and one loss. However, the grapplers were not too strong and one of the big reasons was due to the num­ ber of experienced ex-high school matmen who did not come out for the team. Baseball was first-rate on paper, but a flurry of err­ ors by the team during each game usually spelled doom for the club in most of the contests. Everything looked fine for a swell season before the activity actu­ ally got underway against other competition. But the sprag in the wheels of the team's progress was not long in making itself known when the Colonels began to meet their 1949 opponents. As for swimming—and last season was the first for Wilkes—there seems to be a great possibility of this sport becoming one of the chief ones at the local college. Last season it was brought about through the initiative of two students, Clayton Karambelas and Charlie Flack. The two men worked as student­ coaches and also participated in the meets. The sea­ son, like most first-seasons, was not one that listed Wilkes as the all-time winner. Instead, the meets were entered in the record books as simply experience for the members, all of whom are freshmen and sopho­ mores. Soccer was introduced at the college last year for the first time. Bob Partridge, member of the faculty and one-time All-American soccer player from the Uni­ versity of Pennsylvania was at the head of the new sport. The sport was played intramurally during the first season as’ sort of an introductory activity for those in­ terested. Soccer caught on immediately and next year Wilkes will compete intercollegiately in the sport— reputed to be one of the oldest in the world. The intramural program of touchfootball, basket­ ball, and softball was again a huge success. Those who could not take part in the sport in a major way, spent after class hours several times a week participat­ ing in the sport in one of the intramural league. The latest addition to the intramural program was bowling. Manv fine keglers were found among the student bodv. The alleys at the Hampton were used and the CPA pinmen were crowned champions at the end of the season. Many new horizons seem to be opening to Wilkes in the future. The new gymnasium may soon become more than a hope and athletics at the Colonel planta­ tion will blossom even faster than has been the case during the past three years. �TOGETHER Career Info Available To Grads The Wilkes College Careers Library, under the dir­ S;.

Despite a heavy thunderstorm a large group of alumni were present. Daniel Williams, president, pre­ sided. The evening opened with the showing of a film entitled "Campus Capers", which is a college-owned technicolor film on campus activities during the past two years. After some opening remarks concerning the pur­ pose of the meeting, Danny introduced Reese Pelton who spoke on the necessity of a constitution if the Alumni Association is to function on a national scale. Mr. Williams then read the proposed constitution, as patterned generally after htat of the Gettysburg College Alumni Association. (For copy of constitution see the last issue of the Alumnus.) A discussion of the constitution, point by point, fol­ lowed this introduction. Several points were clarified and several others were modified. A great deal of in­ terest in the constitution was exhibited by the group. It was suggested that a committee be appointed to study he changes proposed. This committee in­ cludes: Donald Kersteen '42, Sallyanne Rosenn '42, June Owens '42, Katherine Freund '42, Al Eisenpreis '42, Bob Sloan '42, John Goobic '43, Martin Berger '43, Ruth Tischler '44, Irene Koniecko '44, Doug MacNeal '48, J. Glenn Gooch ’48, Trudy Johnson '48, Gene Maylock '48, Ray Mechak '48, Allen Miller '49, Jack Karnofsky '45, and Joe Kanner '49. To close the meeting two additional films were shown. They were "Fact and Fancy" and "Holiday in Havana", another school film covering the Spanish Club's trip to Cuba. Refreshments were served. It was decided that the next meeting would be held on May 2. Respectfully submitted, IRENE KONIECKO, secretary Aetna Life Insurance Company "...

Dur­ ing these months a number of events have been added to the History of the Wilkes College Alumni Association. Official Publication of the Wilkes College Alumni Association EDITORIAL Why Reorganize? ... Return Visit (Cover Story) Why Reorganize? OFFICE Chase Hall 184 South River Street, Wilkes-Barre, Pa. VOLUME 1 NUMBER 3 It was with this thought in mind that some of us got together to draw up a constitution that would enable the Association to keep pace with the growth of the College. This year has seen our Alma Mater take a greater interest in alumni affairs. This is exactly what most of us have looked forward to for some time, but when the time arrived we found ourselves and our constitution unprepared for it. The college has seen to it that we have a paid Alumni Secretary in charge of an office where all alumni affairs and records have been centralized. The college was largely responsible for the incep­ tion of this magazine and has been solely respons­ ible for the financial support of the same. Those of you who were at all familiar with affairs of the alumni know what a terrific undertaking this has been. The officers of your association realize that previous to this year our activities have been almost entirely restricted to the Wilkes-Barre area. The wide dispersal of the alumni and inability of your officers to give their undivided attention to alumni affairs, the financial inability of the association to keep in touch with all the members and the wide gap between affairs at the college and alumni af­ fairs were among the primary causes of this re­ striction. In fact for a number of years we have existed almost as a community club with only nom­ inal recognition by the college. This year when the College Administration volunteered the desired assistance we found ourselves totally unprepared for the sudden change and if it had not been the constant reviewing and amending of our set-up there would have been two organizations working toward the same goal, Recognition of these factors led to the formula­ tion of a new constitution which would recognize these changes and provide for an association on a nation-wide basis. The result of our labor appears in this issue of the "Alumnus". I don't believe it is necessary for me to review each section of the constitution paragraph by para­ graph. However, as you read the constitution you will discover it includes remedies for the major diffi­ culties that I have outlined above. We have com­ pared the constitution with those of other college alumni groups and believe it to be a worthy equal. Wilkes is fast becoming the college we all wanted back in the early years and an institution ot which we can rightly be proud. If we as alumni ore to add to and share in this reputation, we must provide for a working Alumni Association. There­ fore, in the minds of your officers, it is imperative that we begin our new year under this revised con­ stitution and we would appreciate and welcome any and all suggestions on your part for its improvement. Now that I bring this letter to a close I feel con­ fident that this necessary change will meet with your approval. In making a summary, it is only through a well organized, larger and more active Alumni Association, that we can aid in the growth of Wilkes or share in the benefits that Alumni receive as a result of the growth of their Alma Mater. Sincerely yours, DANIEL E. WILLIAMS, President Wilkes College Alumni Association * * * (Cover Story) Return Visit This issue's cover photo, taken in front of Chase Hall, pictures Tommy Cobum and his dog Hap as they returned to visit their Alma Mater. Tommy, first Wyoming Valley serviceman to be totally blinded during World War II, received his Bachelor of Arts degree in February, 1949, with the second group of four-year students to be graduated from Wilkes. Tommy, accompanied by his faithful canine friend have been familiar campus figures for the past several years. Behind Tommy is the recently erected college signpost. The attractive sign, which is constructed of sturdy wood, includes a large replica of the college seal and designates the dates when the college was founded and chartered. �On Campus - ■ ■ Debating Team Is Impressive Wilkes College made an impressive showing at the Second Annual Invitation Debate Toumamen sponsored by Brooklyn College on March 11 ana .. Vying for honors, were such outstanding universi­ ties as: Columbia, Dartmouth, Tufts, Vassar, M. I. T., Holy Cross, Boston University, Penn State, Anna­ polis, Temple, and Fordham. Jack Faneck and Tom Morgan, Wilkes affirma­ tive team, won victories over Stephen's Institute of Technology, and N. Y. U. Faneck and Morgan were defeated only by Annapolis and Champlain, co­ winners of the tournament, in very close decisions. Don Kemmerer and George Maisel, upholding the negative end of the argument, inflicted defeats on Boston University and St. John's whose affirma­ tive team had been previously unbeaten. Tufts, with an especially aggressive affirmative group, de­ feated Kemmerer and Maisel and remained victori­ ous throughout the remainder of the contest. Rutgers, the defending national champions, scored against Wilkes in one of the most closely matched encount­ ers in the entire tournament. College Band Prepares Programs The Wilkes College Band, under the direction of Reese Pelton, concluded a very successful football season and is at present rehearsing for two concerts scheduled for late spring. During the days of gridiron glories, the bands­ men were present at almost every contest; trips were made to Mansfield, Williamsport, and Bloomsburg for games with those institutions. In addition the band made a striking appearance in the annual Armistice Day Parade. Navy blue uniforms trimmed in gold made the group an organization ' of which Wilkes may well be proud. A distinct honor was given the organization when it received a reguest to send representatives to the annual Intercollegiate Band Festival at Indiana State Teachers College, Pa. Three members of the band—Carl Strye, trumpet; Vester Vercoe, flute; and Don Follmer, clarinet—were selected in competition to play with the 125 piece all-state band under the direction of noted arranger-director Morton Gould Three days of rehearsals, concerts, and a radio broadcast kept the musicians very busy. The band is now rehearsing in preparation for its annual outdoor concert to be presented on the campus in May. Selections in many different veins will be included on the program, as well as solos and ensembles. Another program will be given by the group in conjunction with the qraduation exercises in June. WHA T WE'RE DOING Johnny Long Johnny Long's fine musical aggregation of "Shanty Town" fame has been selected to provide the music for the third annual Cinderella Ball, it was announced recently by Art Spengler, council president. The choice of Long and his crew of eighteen musicians and vocalists was made by the student representatives after much debate about prices of "name" bands and the cost of tickets to students. Since there is not as much money to work with as in previous years, the group decided to cut expenses to a minimum and to price tickets as reasonably as possible. Ben Sterling's new $100,000 dance pavilion at Rocky Glen Park has been chosen as the site of the dance. Spengler stated that the hall was still in the process of being constructed, but probably would be completed by Easter. The building is 100 by 225 feet and will accommodate several thousands of people. It is located near the Swiss Cottage and ex­ tends over the lake. Spengler also disclosed that the rental price of the hall includes seating arrangements and five huge amplifiers, so the music will be heard clearly in all parts of the hall. The parking area at Rocky Glen is large enough to accommodate the cars of all the people who are expected to attend. Up to the present time no mention has been made of the selection of Cinderella candidates for 1949. In the past the student body first cast pre­ liminary votes for any of the Wilkes co-eds. The eleven girls receiving the highest number of votes were then declared Cinderella candidates. Last year post cards bearing the names of the eleven candidates, were mailed to each student, and votes were counted by a special committee. Most of the student body was unaware of Cinderella's identity until just before the orchestra leader fitted a spe­ cially constructed glass shoe on her foot. Beginning with this issue, the "Wilkes Alumnus" will publish news of interest about members of the different four-year graduating classes. In addition the column Milestones will cover articles of particular interest. »k« CLASS NEWS OF '48 John A. Sott has reenlisted in the Army, as has Clemens Pell.

By TOM MORAN Director of Public Relations Exit Winter Sports Like the young man's fancy which lightly turns to other things at the first sign of Spring, the sports world at Wilkes College has shifted its attention to the prospects of the coming Spring Sports program. The Winter Sports program—which included basketball, wrestling and swimming—failed to offer anything in the way of outstanding achievement in the intercollegiate sports circles, but the results re­ corded by the trio of Colonel athletic teams were good. The basketball team, under the guidance of George Ralston and Assistant Coach Tom Miller, wrote the final chapter to its 1948-49 cage season on March 8 when it bowed to a strong King's quintet by a 66 to 59 count in the latter school's Kingston gymnasium. Individual scoring for the Wilkes College basket­ ball team found Phil Sekerchak high man with 122 goals and 109 free throws for a total of 353 points or a total of 19.62 points per game.

If we wanted to dwell in the wonderful land of "its" it wouldn't be too difficult to figure out how close the club came to going through the entire season with only one or two defeats. In every instance where the blue and gold quin­ tet lost a contest, the misfortune took place in the final portion of the tilt. Against Hartwick College— the first defeat in a string of six—the Colonels led throughout the game until the final few minutes and then the Oneonta institution forged ahead. The first defeat set the pattern for the next five losses. Wilkes College grappling team made an out­ standing record in its third year of intercollegiate mat competition. Coached by Cromwell Thomas, the Wilkes matment collected five wins as compared to one loss. The only smear on the Colonels' record was administered by Millersville STC. In its first season of swimming competition since before the war, Wilkes aquatic team won one and lost five. The victory was scored over Wyoming Seminary late in the season. Two tilts were dropped to University of Scranton and another duo of meets t° Lyccming. The swimming team was coached by two student-coaches, Clayton Karambelas and Charlie Flack.

Wilkes Sponsors Theatre Conference The first Eastern Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Theatre Conference, sponsored by the Cue 'N Cur­ Wilkes College tain Club, was held March 12-13 on the Wilkes cam­ pus, with representatives of 16 state colleges attend­ ing. As a result of the meeting, the delegates voted ON THE AIR to become charter members of an organization to be known as the College Theatre and Radio Con­ ference of Eastern Pennsylvania. The consolidation of the drama groups into a permanent organization marks the first time in the Monday - Wednesday - Friday 10:45 - 11:00 A. M. history of the United States college theatre that such a movement has taken place. The general aims of the organization are to stimulate interest in college theatre as a community asset, and to provide for community support of col­ lege theatre; to exchange information and ideas Another Success The annual Alumni Association Yuletide Ball was held December 28 in the Crystal Ballroom of Hotel Sterling, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

Music for dancing was provided by the college dance orches­ tra of Reese Pelton. Station WHWL among member colleges; and to develop experiment­ ation and explore new theatrical forms. Nanticoke, Pa. »★« Broadcast from radio booth located in Chase Hall One of the evening's highlights occurred when the senior class held a drawing for an Elgin wrist watch. Tom Moran, class president, announced the drawing and named Wesley Klesa '49 as winner. This event was the first embodied in a plan designed to promote closer relations between alumni and undergrads—the alumni of tomorrow. < r MUSIC DRAMA INTERVIEWS CLUBS ETC, ETC. The affair was cabaret-styled and this did a great deal tovzards promoting the congeniality that keynoted the evening. It was interesting to note how many old friendships were revived. A great many out-of-town alumni, home for the holidays, were among the crowd that circulated amidst the college banners and ground pine that decorated the ballroom. The dance committee was headed by president Danny Williams and general secretary Pelton and also included Ruth Tischler '44, Naomi Hons '49, June Owens '42, and Katherine Freund '42. Note flic happy expressions on these alumni! They’re part of the record crowd that attended the annual Yuletide Ball. (Sec story).

THE CHALLENGE... WILKES ALUMNUS After glancing through issues of alumni magazines of older colleges and universities two points become very clear to us who are the working nucleus of our new Alumni Association. First, we see the goal. A body of former students who feel a bond of common interest founded in their past experiences and their future hopes for an all-round development of the in­ fant college. A group of grads who will support their Alma Mater because they believe in her, overlook her shortcomings, and rejoice in her progress. In short, a real group of supporters.

There are two primary steps that each alumnus can take to further this goal. To begin with, every grad can join the active association simply by stating his desire and forwarding the nominal yearly dues of S1.00 to the Alumni Office. This entitles him to receive all pertinent college and alumni information and helps the association to grow. And there is another step open to all grads who are in the Wilkes-Barre area.

This issue's cover pictures Leo Castle, key backfield man for the 1948 edition of the Colonels, as he smashes through the Hartwick line to add the second touchdown in Wilkes' 14-6 victory over the New York team. After getting off to a slow start this season by dropping two games to Bloomsburg STC and St. Francis, the Colonel gridders finally came into their own when they defeat­ ed National College 28 to 13. Hartwick was the next victim. Then the Colonels traveled to Mansfield for what experts considered certain defeat, and returned with a 7-7 deadlock that almost became a victory. The following week the gridders outclassed Lycoming and returned with the better half of a 34-7 score. A power­ ful Rider team fell prey as Wilkes romped to a 14-0 victory. Steubenville, and the old city rival, King's, complete this season. National recognition of the Colo­ nels came early in the season when the Atlantic Foot­ ball Forecast began to list Wilkes regularly in their weekly nationwide forecasts.

An active group of Alumni were present to discuss reorganization and plans for the 1948-49 year. The meeting was formally opened at 8:00 P. M. by Danny Williams, new president of the association. After welcoming the group, Danny pointed out that the position of treasurer was vacant and explained that under the constitution the president could appoint members to fill vacancies. Reese Pelton was then ap­ pointed temporary treasurer. Mr. Pelton, who is serving as alumni secretary at the college, talked briefly on distribution and news accumulation for the WILKES ALUMNUS and outlined general plans for Homecoming weekend. Mr. Williams then asked for suggestions to organ­ ize an effective drive to raise money for the college's expansion program. Allan Siegfried Jr. offered the suggestion that literature containing the architects plans for the new campus be distributed to all alumni so that they might see the goal toward which they are working. A discussion on increasing enrollment in the asso­ ciation, and particularly at meetings, was held. A suggestion made by June Owens was agreed upon. Active members are to receive phone lists of inactive members to contact before the next meeting. This brought up the question of what form the next meeting would take. A heated debate took place with those in favor of a smoker emerging victorious by a majority vote. Mr. Williams announced that committee members would be chosen and notified soon. The last issue on the agenda was the Christmas Dance. Ruth Tischler and Katherine Freund were ap­ pointed to check with Hotel Sterling to find an open date for the annual affair. The business being consumated, Mr. Williams ad­ journed the meeting. Those in attendance, however, held an unscheduled social session for some time after­ wards. On November 1, the third alumni meeting of the year was held in the Women's Lounge of Chase Hall at 8:00 P. M. A business session, devoted mainly to a discussion of Homecoming, was held. Lists of alumni in the Wilkes-Barre area were distributed to a commit­ tee of those present, for the purpose of insuring a suc­ cessful celebration by making personal contact. Mem­ bers appointed to this committee are Irene Koniecko Gloria Boguszewski, Gene Maylock, Trudy Johnson' Zosia Glowacki, and Douglas McNeal. President Wil­ liams also spoke briefly concerning the Christmas Dance and mentioned that a tentative date had been arranged with the Hotel Sterling. Following the business meeting, refreshments were served, and a social session completed the evening’s program. One Third of Grads In Grad School A recent study of the first four-year graduating class of Wilkes College, the class of 1948 reveals that about 36% of the graduates have applied and been accepted in recognized graduate schools. This per­ centage means that Wilkes definitely rates high among the leaders in such a field. A breakdown of these statistics is as follows: Total Number of Wilkes Graduates September—43 Total—108 Graduates Known to Be Accepted in Graduate School June—24 Total—39 A brief business meeting was held during the course of the evening. JJl.ans for Homecoming were explained to enthusiastic listeners and the Christmas Dance Committee gave a preliminary report. This committee consists of Ruth Tischler, Katherine Freund and June Owens. Following this interruption the social activity recommenced and continued until twelve We're Doing Zcsia Glowacki '45 is currently directing the Chil­ dren's Theatre of Wilkes-Barre. She follows Mrs. Lee Tyburski (Miss Norma Sanguliano) whom many alumni remember as director of the old BUJ 3 Thespians.

Recogni­ tion by that annual publication means that the student was, first, officially recommended from the university or college he attends and, then, accepted by the or­ ganization. ON CAMPUS 1 Those students of Wilkes College who were ac­ cepted by the organization include George Ernel, Donald Evans, Doris Gorka, Marjorie Green, Edwin Kosik, Eleanor Krute, Evelyn Penaligon, Narcy per. kowski, Leonard Shetline, Donald Vernail, Edward Wasilewski and Anthony Zabiegalski. Only juniors seniors and post-graduates were eligible for nomina­ tions. Nominating committees were requested to con­ sider the student's scholarship, his leadership and cooperation in educational and extracurricular activ­ ities, his general citizenship, and his promise of future usefulness. In the schools there is an increasing ten­ dency to use objective point systems for selecting nominees. Each student who becomes a member receives without cost; a certificate of recognition awarded by the organization and presented at the school; recogni­ tion in the annual publication for the year during which he was selected in the form of a write up of his college and personal record and a listing in the index under the college form which he was nominated; benefits of the Student Placement Service provided by the organization if he neds assistance in making employment contacts or supplying other recommend­ ations. Who's Who Among Students in American Uni­ versities and Colleges is designed to render service: As an artificial goal to inspire greater effort in those who do not innately perform to the best of their ability. As a reminder that time must be used intelligent­ ly to bring the best results from one's college experi­ ence. As a means of compensation for outstanding ef­ fort and achievement. As a standard of measurements for students com­ parable to other recognized scholastic and service or­ ganizations.

Now in its third year, the game was drawing capacity crowds and the usual color of foot­ ball season spread the veil of glamour over the entire event. Clubs reorganized—and in the case of two, changed their names. Then the elections and their inevitable campaigns came. After the last soap box and election card was put away eyes turned towards the customary sport dances and the traditional cabaret parly. Too much is happening to give you a complete picture, but we can give you some flashes of what is happening On Campus—■ COLLEGE BAND Beginning the football season with the team was a 45 piece military band under the direction of Reese E. Pelton '48. The band made trips to every game with the exception of the Hartwick contest. Well-balanced, with every type of instrument available, the band has produced many fine half-time shows and plans to make several performances before the public of Wyoming Valley. CHEERLEADERS This year's cheer squad has been the most active in all recent Wilkes history and boasts twelve members including 4' Bill Snee. Several skits have been per­ formed in conjunction with the band and the squad is responsible for a great deal of the new school spirit. Jimmy Catnes is captain and Bruce Mackie is trainer. FRESHMAN WEEK—'48 STYLE Freshman Week got off with a bang this year and weekly trials for offenders were held publicly before capacity crowds. Folio wing somewhat orthodox court­ room procedure the High Tribunal of Lettermen doled out such punishment as shown in the adjoining picture. Offenders were fairly numerous and the week was con­ sidered highly successful. There was however, only one case of "capital crime", resulting in a haircut to the offender. BETA GAMMA CHI NOW DELTA THETA RHO Sometime ago the old Beta Gamma Chi girls soror­ ity took on the new title Women of Wilkes, explaining that the title B. G. C. was not suited to a four-year in­ stitution. However, the WOW’s as they were next called finally decided to return to the Greek and re­ cently voted to change the sorority name to Theta Delta Rho, meaning "by the river". SPORT DANCES CONTINUE The traditional week-end sport dances are still in vogue at Wilkes, at the usual site, St. Stephen's Church­ house. Crowds of 350 or more are usually in attendance to relax after the week's scholastic burden. Music by the college's fourteen piece band, cokes, and social chatter, are the usual attractions. CABARET PARTY The traditional cabaret party, held each semester, was sponsored this year by the BEACON staff and held November 5 in St. Stephen's Churchouse. Professional and amateur performers staged two, hour floor shows and music for dancing was supplied by Reese Pelton and his "Collegiate" orchestra. Decorations, reserved tables, and a variety of refreshments were other high­ lights of the successful affair. Nancy Yaufman and Nancy Ralston, two frosh dorm students are shown as Clayton Karambelas, a member of the Lettcramn’a Club, orders the “scrubwoman” and “angel of mercy” to clean the campus. ipus.

Ann Havir. NOW IT'S "CUE & CURTAIN" Gone are the Thespians—replaced by the new Cue & Curtain group. Boasting an active membership of 100 members, the dramatic society meets three times each month, one meeting being devoted to social activ­ ities. The membership is divided into committees, each one responsible for some phase of work and each com­ mittee head is responsible to a central stage manager. Present plans of the group which is directed by Al Groh '41, call for several one-act plays and major produc­ tions, one of which may be a musical. Bill Griffith '50. is president of the group. �(SPECIAL) Firsi Homecoming - Successful Everyone in attendance agreed that the affair was a success!

MORAN Athletic Publicity Director By the time most ol the alumni of Wilkes College read this issue of the association's magazine, hte blue and gold Colonel eleven will have completed its third season of intercollegiate football. In all probability the 1948 grid record will see Wilkes carrying a seasonal record of six wins, two losses, and one tie, but the two remaining games to be played after this publication goes to press can still change what looks like another outstanding season for Coach George Ralston to the first average season for the team. If the Gods of the Gridiron should continue to smile favorably on the Colonel aggregation and allow the club to annex its last two wins of the season, the over­ all record will be most impressive. Taking for granted that this season will see no more losses for Wilkes, the total number of games won during the short, but colorful three-year period of grid competition will be 18 out of 23 contests. The record will show only three defeats and two ties, which is a mighty good record for any school. The 1948 edition of Wilkes football is probably the best yet sponsored by the college. Many of the gridders such as George Lewis, Walter Hendrshot, Gerrard Washco, Bob Gorgas, John Florkiewicz, Francis Pinkowski, Paul Thomas, Henry Supinski, Melvin Barry, and Tommy Swartwood are playing their third year of ball and due to the fact that the first year was played under the junior college banners, will be eligible to play a fourth year for the club. The entire program has progressed at jet speed during the three-year period. The first year—the club was undefeated in six contests—found a group of not exceptional players, but yet they mastered one of the toughest fundamentals in football—working to gether. The unity and cooperation in that eleven paid big dividends in the form of an unbeaten team in the first year of the college's participation in intercollegiate football. The second year found the school considerably advanced in all phases and the calibre of opponents was higher. The season record of six wins, one loss, and one tie gave Ralston another pigskin feather in his grid cap. This year, in answer to many followers of the team, who wanted to know why Wilkes didn't play tougher opponents, the Colonels faced nine football conscious institutions—the most powerful being Blooms­ burg STC, Mansfield STS. R'der College, and the tradi­ tional rival, King's College. During the present season, wins have been scored over Hartwick College, Naional Agricultural College of Doylestown, Lycoming College, Rider College, and unless oiir second guessing is wrong, College of Steubnville and King's College. Two losses were at the hands of Bloomsburg STC and St. Francis College and the one tie was with Mansfield STC. (Ed. Note:—Steubenville and King's fell to the Colonels.) The two-day affair opened with the annual King'sWilkes gridiron classic. Three hundred and fifty alumni sat among the drenched crowd that saw the Colonels top the Monarchs, 26-0, for the third win in as many games. During the half-time, a pageant, "Dethroning of King's", was presented to the rainsoaked spectators. Everyone agreed, however, that the satisfaction of seeing the scoreboard after the game was worth any discomfort caused by "Jupe Pluvius". Following the game a sport dance was held in the Admiral Stark room of Hotel Sterling. Reports have it that the entire student body of both colleges must have been present. At any rate, room was at a premium until the affair terminated at one A. M. The Wilkes Letterman Club raffled five turkeys during intermission. Another feature of the evening was the "barrel-painting" ceremony, in vzhich the student council of the losing college, (King's for the third time), paints the final score on a traditional barrel, using the colors of the winners. Saturday saw the climax of the affair. A large group of alumni, many from out-of-town, attended the first annual Homecoming dinner held in the new col­ lege cafeteria. Mrs. Brennan and her staff prepared a delicious chicken-a-la-king banquet and informal congeniality was the keynote of the evening. Reese Pelton served as toastmaster, welcomed the group, and introduced Daniel Williams, president of the Alumni Association. Danny spoke about plans to enlarge and make more effective the association and expressed his desire to see everyone present in the alumni organization. He reminded local alumni that meetings were held on the first Monday of each month in Chase Hall at 8:00 P. M. and urged each one to attend. Danny also announced that the annual alumni Christmas Dance will be held on December 28 in Hotel Sterling. At his suggestion each person present introduced himself to the crovzd. It v/as dis­ covered that the profession represented by the largest number of alumni was teaching. The principal talk of the evening vzas given by President Farley who told alumni of the high scholas­ tic rating achieved by Wilkes. Dr. Farley mentioned that the sophomore class ranked 16th among those of 293 colleges tested. He also stated that 37 < of the alumni have applied to and been accepted in graduate schools, a figure well over three times tne average college percentage. Dr. Farley called on the alumni to take a vital active part in helping the college to develop. He also sxplained that the standing of any coilege de­ pends largely on the standing of its alumni and stated that future freshman classes vzill be even more closely screened than in the past. Quality of students an not quantity is of prime importance, explained t e president. Mr. George Ralston served as song leader and succeeded in getting a large vocal response from the group. Other administration members present were Mr. Herbert Morris and Miss Betty Harker. The dinner came to a close with the singing of the Alma Mater. Following the dinner an extended social session was held, and the renewing of friend­ ships continued until much later in the evening. Christmas Trip To Cuba Arranged Miss Martha J. Silseth, Spanish instructor at Wilkes, is completing plans to arrange the second trip to Cuba conducted for Wilkes students. The trip is expected to last throughout the Christmas holiday period and reservations for staying in Havana have been made with the Royal Palms Hotel. The entire trip will cost $250 per person, plus meals. This price includes fishing, swimming, and boating at Ancha Beach, visits to Morro Castle, a tour of the famous Rosa Rose Gardens, a perfume factory, and a tobacco and banana plantation, and a visit to the famous Tropicana Night Club. Some fifty persons are ex­ pected to make the trip by train, bus and plane. Your Alma Mater When BUJC became Wilkes Colege, almost over­ night, the infant institution found itself without an Alma Mater. The lyrics of the old Junior College song were no longer entirely appropriate. The instituion vzas in a guandary when Mrs. Farley submitted a nevz set of lyrics for the original alma mater, which she had vzritten originally. They were soon accepted and once again we vzere a college with an alma mater. The new lyrics follow: Wilkes, Our Alma Mater We pledge our hearts to thee Honor, faith, and courage, Truth and loyalty. In our vzork and in our pleasure Gu:de us as a friend; We shall always love thee. Loyal to the end. Thou shall lead us onvzard. In search of finer things. May vze find the vzisdom That thy spirit brings. May our deeds of love and service Ever svzell thy fame— Wilkes, we stand io greet thee Glory to thy name! �STORK TOGETHER LUB One Moment Please!!
