We have tried in this our third edition to include remembrances of the high-lights of the school year. We hope we have included everything--but we may have skipped a Jew happenings along the way. At any rate, a glance through this 1948 AMNICOLA will bring back recollections of the day by day happenings of your college year.

In the community he was prominent for his work as director of the Bach Festival, Concordia Singing Society, Junger Maennerchor Chorus, and the Scranton Singers Guild . On the Campus, "Pop" was a familiar figure as he hurried to his classes in theory or to t he weekly rehearsals of the Choral Club. We have grown from a small junior college to a four-year institution with our eyes turned toward a bright future. Professor Gies watched our struggle t h r ough the years. We hope he is still watching u s . - �S=ted , Gilbert S. McClintock, Chairman; Miss Ma,y R. Koons; Mrs. Cha,les E. CUit; Mi., Annette Evans; M,s. Edwa,d H. Kent; frede,ick J.

TRUST~~S We express our appreciation to the Board of Trustees, who have made possible the rapid and wise growth of plant and academic facilities at Wilkes. Their generous giving and endless devotion have permitted the college to operate successfully even during the period of transition. The college has been greatly gifted in having resourceful men and women , people of purpose and perception, as its planners. We all owe them a great debt of gratitude for their farsightedness in creating a community college that has offered development to countless numbers of young people in this area. 8- AD �iss Annette Evans; Mrs. Edward ~ene S.

FARLEY President PRESID~NT'S MESSAGE Less than three years have passed since we rejoiced that the war was ended and a period of peace a nd promise commenced . During these three years hopes have changed to doubts , and there is danger that in our disillusionment we shall lose the will to strive for those things that , in all times , have made life worthwhile. In the face of such circumstances my wish is that you may have the courage and the vision to think straight and to act accordingly. Too many of the problems you face today have arisen from compromise and the acceptance of false values by those who have preceded you . These great problems can only be s olved by generations of men and women capable of " seeing straight " and possessed of conviction that by intelligent and constructive action great ends can be attained. It has been said that progress results from a combination of hope and difficulty. I know that you have hope , and everyone knows that great obstacles confront you . May you always retain your hope, a nd may you gain strength from your conquest of the obstacles that face you . l am not wishing you either ease or comfort, for they are not the elements that make for accomplis hment . I am wishing for you the challenge that comes from a .iob to be done; may you later gain the s atisfac tion that comes from sharing in the accomplishment of worthy ends . EUGENE S. FARLEY George Ralsto Dean of Mer �In the early days of Wilkes history, Chase Hall and its grounds comprised the whole campus. Inside Chase, our President, the Registrar, and the office force were located on the first floor. The upper floors were devoted to classrooms and student lounges. Now that Wilkes has expanded into . a four-year college, Chase Hall has become the center of administration. Dr. Farley has his office in multi-windowed Chase 209, and Registrar Morris has taken over our President's former locatioP on the first floor. The finance office has moved to the former Women's Lounge. Also on the second floor are the offices of Deans Harker and Ralston. The specialization of Chase Hall into an administration building is typical of the growth of Wilkes College. Herbert J.

Plant growth is evidenced by the acquisition of the Shoemaker residence for the use of the language departments; the enlarging and modernizing of Conyngham Annex for the Biology Department; the use of the Long Building for various departmental lectures; and the assignment of the Stoddard residence to the Music and Economic Departments. The newly-built Science Lecture Hall was the outstanding addition to the campus during the year. It is interesting to note that our faculty has increased from seventy-four a year ago to the present total of ninety-eight . For future interests, we have land and are making plans for the of a new gymnasium on Sou th Street and for landscaping campus acquired building Franklin grounds. ) f ..EISTOCENE MIOCENE OLIGOCENE EOCENE Mirror, Mirror, on the wall CRETACEOUS �SENIOR :periment 1tstanding :! addition to year. note that our faculty ·enty-four a year ago ninety-eight. ,ts, we have plans for the t on South .ping campus acquired building Franklin grounds. ) f �JOHN W.

As a class we are privileged. We have the unique privilege of being the first class to graduate from Wilkes College. We are proud, too. We feel this pride is justified in the prominent interest we have taken in life on the campus and in those of us who have distinguished themselves in college activities. Our president, Doug MacNeal, has been busy with committees and the revival of school spirit. Bob Miller is known to all for his work on the three publications; Charles Templeton, who has "supplied" Wilkes students with the tools for study , is president of our Student Council; and Nelson Nelson deserves mention for his work on the Beacon , the yearbook , and in the theater. We think Joe Sa vi tz did a grand job on the Welfare Drive. The girl with the charming smile , Miriam Golightly, contributed her time and talents to the Manuscript , and to Beta Gamma Chi.

Uncle Sam needed us for a while, so we did a little early some of the traveling we had intend e d to do after graduation , and then we came back to our world of books and term papers. Our college days were confused and jumbled. Yes , it's been a little hectic, but it's been fun. We wish we could start all over again.

It doesn't seem so long ago, at least to some of us , that we were freshmen . Our class has representatives in all of the activities at Wilkes . One of us is editor of Amnicola, another an editor of the Beacon; some of us play football or basketball. We can share the glory of the Thespians--"Perk" was splendid as Creon, wasn't he? That cheerful smile you see in the cafeteria belongs to our Naomi I Ions. Now we're juniors, and we' re truly just beginning to comprehend all that Wilkes can mean .

SOPHOMORES �"Two Years Before The Math" We are the sophomores. It was during our first year that Wilkes underwent its most extensive growing pains and finally became a four-year institution. Men of the class of 1950 formed the core of our undefeated football squad--the first team in the college history. Among our prominent classmates are Albin Aukerlund who is chief electrician of the Thespians, and of course, the Big Man on Campus--Marty Blake. This year, as sophomores, our president 1s Joe Evans, our vice-president is Tom Check, and our secretary-treasurer is Jean Ryan. Our sophomore year is full of thoughts of the crowded cafeteria at noon, the struggle with World Lit, those seven A.M. Physics classes--and filled also with plans for the two years to come. - 38- �Quiet, Please Step Down Mugging ar ns he all .e rof Joe ::relS the 'SICS s to Relaxed �Triunwiratc Blue Skies Chow Down "Smiles" Publicity Sew �B.

For the first time since the termination of the war, high school graduates, rather than veterans, constituted a large part of the incoming freshman class. We will never forget the dismay and confusion of Freshman Week. The sight of pale female faces was in itself a phenomenon, and the clink of buckets was music to the ears of the upperclassmen. Eventually the newness wore off, and we became an integral part of the school. We elected Jack Feeney, Joe Gallagher, Marita Sheridan, Joan Lawlor, and Don Casey to represent us on the Student Council. In no time at all our colleagues were known throughout the student body.

And, of course , the Cinderella Ball is firmly established as a tradition . In addition to sponsoring dances and entertainments we appropriated funds for student activities, waged campaigns for school spirit, and on the whole, tried to the utmost of our ability to give Wilkes College efficient student government.

After our transformation into a full-fledged college we held a contest to find a name for our yearbook. Nan Richards' entry, Amnicola, was selected by faculty and student judges as the name, for it means, quite appropriately, "that which grows or dwells by a river." Eleanor Krute, Editor-in-Chief Although our staff was reduced we were faced with interviewing club representatives, meeting deadlines for copy, covering dances, and social affairs, taking photos, and reading proof sheets.

Tom Moran continued as our sports writer; Robert Mikulewicz featured in his column "In Passing" a book review and discussion on college programs. Ted Wolfe tickled us with his "Campus Highlights" comments.

Antigone, the modern-dress version of a Greek tragedy representing the conflict between cold logic and unthinking passion, had enjoyed considerable success in Paris during the German occupation. Wilkes College had the distinction of being the second collegiate group in the United States to stage this play.

In keeping with this principle, the Club visited the Cornell Medical College Center in New York City and the Memorial Hospital for Cancer and Allied Diseases. Our future doctors also witnessed delicate surgical operations performed in the Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital.

This year we viewed the electric shock treatment and sat in on a clinical demonstration at Retreat State Hospital, toured the Veteran's Guidance Center, and visited Laurelton State Village.

Coach Cromwell Thomas had his potential varsity grapplers going through stiff work-outs early in December. The first meet on the schedule found Wilkes losing to Millersville. The following week at Wyoming Seminary lack of experience once again helped considerably to pin the matmen from Wilkes for their second defeat. In the bout with King's College, the Colonels really made up for past defeats by beating the Northampton Street Monarchs by an 18 to 15 count. Wilkes closed its mat season by bowing to a more powerful Princeton Junior Varsity. 85 - �Court Scene Pre-season prospects for one of the finest and strongest basketball teams ever to represent the College looked good. But the problem of finding sufficient floor space on which to conduct daily practice sessions was the proverbial fly in the ointment that prevented the Colonels' five from registering an even more impressive cage record this past season. Swartwood, Forward Coach Ralston had most of his 1946-4 7 cage team back, plus plenty of new and promising material in the form of former scholastic and service cage performers.

During the season the team faced on a home and home basis such college and prep school nines as: Wyoming Seminary, Hartwick College, King's College, Keystone College, Rider College, Triple Cities College, and Taylor Business School. ush, Warmus, Molash, , Semmer, Hendershot, Side Out Fanning the Breeze inute Instructions - 89- �WOMENS' SPORTS Ice Cream Social Che Physical Education is provided for the women of Wilkes at our local Y.

During free hours, the majority of women could be heard crying "pass," "double," in the girls lounge.

The entire College anticipates with a great expectation the day when the College will have its own gymnasium and playing fields. During the past year our only intramural Dorm Regular I. R. C. Team �Playing the Field act1v1ty sponsored was softball. During the Summer Semester of 194 7, the league was highly successful. It consisted of eight teams completing a round-robin schedule culminated by a play-off game between the champions of the league and a selected group of All Stars. The Sad Sacks were league champions, but lost to the All-Star combination in the play-off game. The great amount of pleasure Seventh Inning Scratch Team -9J - �CA Draft Dodgers and spirit that was aroused during last Summer should serve as an indication of the success of a broader intramural program if it were a reality. During the Fall, an intramural touch football schedule was arranged, but because we began late in the Fall, extreme cold weather set in before the league was well under way. With the return of a normal college schedule we can look to a more successful season in \948. Sad Sacks ��Or. Farley at Charter Day A dream was realized in June-our long-awaited charter, signifying that Bucknell University Junior College was henceforward Wilkes College, was presented to the Board of Trustees in a ceremony on the grounds between Chase and Kirby Halls.

MATER ACT I VI T I E S IV. AT H LET V. CAM VI. �THE 1949 yearbook was never meant to be a collection of photographs; it was intended to be a carefully selected record of memories -- of your memories -- of Wilkes College. The photographs you will see as you read on were chosen for their meaning to you and not for their perfeclion. They are the events of yesterday, fleeting moments caught anJ held and given ageless youth. They are moments you have lived -- some serious, sor:ne gay -- ruade available for you to relive whenever you wish. The memories of every aspect of campus life are here collected so you will nevn forget your past year at Wilkes. The Amnicola staff, in preparing this book, has carefully weighed the importance of each entry to produce a well-balanced publication. The light side of college activities is here as well as the serious. 'fhey have both been important. You will find the histories of classmates. professors, athletics, drama tics, student publications, each of which has had its part in the activities of the year. The Staff has overlooked nothing that it fe)t you would desire. What this yearbook "ill mean to you in future years will be the test of iLs success. May the contents of this yearhook keep forever alive the days of your education at Wilkes, and may it be the source of many pleasant hours of remembering past friendships and associations.

If yo adhere to th ciate with c nificantly ye to remembe The commo world of ton we dread. into reality. A y and the stre EUGENE S. FARLEY PRESIDENT �PRESIDENT'S MESS .AGE THE VALUE of your years in college has yet to be measured. You have learned something of history and literature, and many of you have prepared for a profession or business. Some of the things you have studied will help you to live; others have prepared you to earn a living. If your years in college are to he justified, you must be able to live fully as well as to earn a living. Many a man has been measured a success because of his acquisitions. To live significantly, a man also must contribute something to those who have been associated with him. I am wishing that you may live significantly. If you are to live significantly, you must possess ideals and the strength to adhere to them in the face of discouragement and ridicule. You will inevitably associate with some who will ridicule the idealist as an impractical dreamer. To live significantly you may not be impractical even though you must be a dreamer. It is well to remember that every gain of man has resulted from the dream of an individual. The commonplace machine of today was but a fantastic dream of yesterday. The world of tomorrow may he the dream of the present, or it may be the nightmare that we dread. The nature of tomorrow depends upon the ability to change your dream into reality. As you leave us I hope you will take with you a faith in the force of ideals, and the strength to Jive significantly. MRS. EUGE IE S.

Florkiewicz The Junior Class began the year's achv1hes with the election of c1ass officers. John Florkiewicz, co-captain of the football team, assumed the duties of President. Robert Waters, footbal1 star and Letterman, took office as Vice-president. Marty Blake held the office ot Secretary until his resignation in February. The class conducted a special election to fill the vacancy at which Catherine Smith, Social Secretary of W eckesser Hall, was elected. G-eoq?;e A. Lewis, a Letterman, won the contest for the office of Treasurer. President The only social activity sponsored by the Junior Clas was the Cabaret Party held at Manfield Ballroom, Feb. 25, 1949. Students danced from nine to one to the mu ic of Joe Bednareck and his orchestra. Erskine Butterfield, nationally famous piano artist, and Dick Brown, singing star of the A.B.C. etwork's Stop the Music program made a surprise appearance and virtually slopped the show. The remainder of the entertainment menu consisted of student talent. The audience howled at the comical antics of Marty Blake, "Sam SJlade," the "Can-Can" Girls, Bob Saunders and Charles Gloman, who starred in a black-( ace act. Among the outstanding Juniors, we may include: Bruce Macl ie, who scored an outstanding succes in the Cue 'n Curtain production of Nettie; George Maisel, who won honors for Wilkes at the InterCollegiate Debate Council Tournament; Bill Griffiths, president of Cue 'n Curtain Club; Marvin Walters, who was chairman of both the l.R.C.

Therefore, we shall present the record of the Second Year Class by pointing out the individual prominence of some of its members. Charles Knapp President The class officers include: Charles Knapp, last year President of the Freshman Class, President; Henry Heineman, a football Letterman, and Chief Barber on the Freshman Tribunal, Vice-president; Norma Jean Persiani, who is ac6ve in the Cue ' n Curtain, Secretary; Marilyn Broadt, who had the role of Patricia Stanley in The Male Animal, Treasurer. Henry Heineman left school early in February and President Charles Knapp appointed Arthur Bloom to fill the post of Vice-president. One of the Sophomores who appeared in The Male Animal, a Cue 'n Curtain production, was .Janet Gearhart who portrayed the role of Ellen. Janet's last appearance was made in Antigone in the role of Ismene. Since then her time has been devoted to backstage work in the costume and make-up department. Another Sophomore, Joan Walsh, received the role of Myrtle Keller. The Male Animal was Joan's first major production at Wilkes College. Last yea r Joan was seen in the title role of Muley, a one act production. Gwenn Clifford provided a highlight in the Sophomore Class History when artist Al Capp selected her as the queen of the Amnicola beauty contest.

The orientation program was elaborate and thorough. The Freshmen heard lectures on the college's philosophy of education, the methods employed by the faculty and administration in academic training, and, of course, the "tradition" of hazing. The fin,t-yearmen endured aptitude, interest, foreign language, and .English placement tests. The week of hectic activity terminated in the Annual Freshman Luncheon at the Hotel Sterling. President Eugene S. Farley, Dean George Ralston, and Registrar Herbert J. Morris were among the speakers. The weekly trials of "disrespectful" Freshmen by the Tribunal lightened somewhat the somber air of ivy wall and stern-visaged professors. Sentences depended upon the gravity of the "crime." Upperclassmen enjoyed Cafeteria music during lunch hour, free shoeshines, and the pleasant strains of Christm.as Carols in the crisp September air. The miscreants also provided colorful entertainment al the football games and raJlies. The Freshmen held elections for the Student Council early in October. After a heated campaign, which featured elaborate posters proclaiming each candidate's special merits, Barbara Hartly, Dollie Frable, Shadrack Jones III, and Ed Tyburski won seats on the Council. The election of class officers, which Look place in the middle of October, was also a hotly contested event. The final results revealed the election of the following Freshmen: Ed Bolin ki, President; Chester Maleshewsky, Vice-presi<lcnt; Elaine Turner, Secretary; Marysh Mieszkowski, Treasurer. The class, which numbered 268 in September, expanded with the addition of $2 new Freshmen in February, 1949. The final social activity of the Freshm.an Class wa the Farmer's Dance held at St. Stephen's Church House during February. Hayseed and straw hats were prevalent.

AMNICOL A This year the staff of the Amnicola, in the book's fourth year of publication, performed an almost herculean task. As a resuh of a serious reduction in personnel in the editorial and business staffs, the editors faced the unpleasant situation of almost continuous campus activity coupled with a dearth of adequate coverage. The staff was confronted with many difficulties in meeting the early deadline set by Editor, Don Rau. The I.R.C. Convention did not meet until the second week of April.

The WILKES BEACON made important strides in carrying out its expansion policy. Under the astute leadership of Russ Williams, editor-in-chief, the paper has progres ed rapidly. Art Rice and Tom Robbin s, associate editors, have lent their guidance to the editorial staff. Cooperating in the drive for greater news coverage, the staff integ rated and consolidated the widely diversified news reports received throughout the year. In addition to hi s other duties, Tom Robbins also writes the STUDE T GOVER • MENT column. Sports editor Garfield Davis produces the popular columns DAVIS PREDICTS and SPORT SHOTS. The bu iness s-taff is under the management of Eleanor Krute. At the beginning of the football season, the BEACON sponsored an intensive eam• paign to encourage attendance at Wilkes College football games. Earl Jobes, working in conjunction with the BEACO , fostered a highly successful id ea of forming cl Colonels Caravan to accompany the team in its out-of-town games. An outstanding example of the success achieved may be demonstrated by noting the attendance at the Bloomsburg game when over 7000 enthusiastic fans cheered their respective tt>am s.

The new name was adopted thi s year. The admini strative officers began thi s year's social activitie · with a eries of teas which were presented monthly from October through May. The Christmas Buffet Party, held in May, convinced most obse rvers that Theta Delta Rho was de stined to become one of the most active organizations on Wilkes' campus. The so rority extended its influence beyond the college when the memhers designed, produced, and delivererl Christmas toys to the Children's Wards of the hospitals in th e valley. After a complete reorganization last spring, the newly elected officer include: Evelyn Penaligon, President; aomi Hons, Vice-President; Marilyn Broadt, Secretary; Mary Porter, Treasurer. The members decided to hold monthly business meetings, followed by a ocial hour, in addition to the parties and dance that they planned for the remainder of the term.

FOOTBALL \\ alter Hender hot BLOOMSBURG 25 - WILKES 0 ST. FRANCIS Wilkes opened its 1948 football season at Berwick when iL played the team from Bloomsburg State Teachers College. fter a game which was harder fought than the score might indicate, the undefeated Teacher champions vanquished a hard-fighting, but green, Wilkes College 25 to 0. It was a case of a heavier, more experienced Bloomsburg team and a Wilkes team which b efore the end of the season would lead many observers thinking that if the colleges had clashed at the end of the season instead of the beginning, the results might have been different. Wilkes many times fumbled at crucial moments, and the Teachers look advantage of every opportunity. The astute running of WiLchaboo Lang was the deciding factor in favor of victory for Bloomsburg.

This was one time where the winning team looked worse than the losing one. St. Francis was held to a net gain of 25 yards on the ground, and all of their scores came on recovery of Wilkes fumbles and passes which eluded the members of the Wilkes backfield.

WILKES 14 - HARTWICK 6 WILKES 22 At Oneonta, ew York, a vastly improved Wilkes eleven bounced back and beat a favored Hartwick e]even, 14 to 6. From the very first play on which Leo Castle ran around the right end of Hartwick and, behind excellent blocking, sped 79 yards for the first Wilkes touchdown, to late in the 3rd quarter when Castle went over from the 2 yard line, Hartwick was being rocked and socked by a hard charging Wilkes line. Standing out in this game was the running and kicking of Leo Cast]e, the extra point place I icking of Jack l<--,ceney, and the blocking of the line led by Captain Sam Elias, W ashco and Hendershot.

The fact that the field was a1most a quagmire at the end of the game stopped Wilkes from defeating the Teachers, and they had to be satisfied with a 7 to 7 tie. Johnny F1orkiewicz got into action for the first time, and he ripped the Teachers' Jine to ribbons. He alone did the carrying on the 45 yard march that resulted in the Wilkes touchdown early in the first quarter. Mansfield's only touchdown came on a long pass play which covered 45 yards. The whole Wilkes team played a magnificent game. FJorkiewicz, Paul Thomas in the backfield, and Sammy Elias on the line were among the highlighters of the game's action.

At the end of the first ha1f the score was 21 to 0. The team as a unit was in high gear.

Lycoming didn't score until the tally was 28 to O against them. They achieved their only score on a pass play. The unbalanced final score was the result of too much speed and power against willing but less talented opposition. Wilkes' band accomp:mied the team on this trip.

Rider College, favored to win by at least four touchdowns, came out on the short end of a 14 to O score. The Wilkes team was sparked in this game by Johnny Florkiewicz who was later nicknamed "the Giant" by Trenton papers. Besides ripping the Rider line to shreds, F]ork took the second-half kickoff on his goal line and ran 100 yards through the Rider team for the first Wilkes' touchdown.

The wimming t eam, composed of eleven men, rapidly developed under capable coaching into a well-trained, expert group. Hampered from the beginning by lack of facilities, the newly-formed organization had di.fficu lty in scheduling meets. The directors overcame thi s obstacle by arranging to use the pools of the Wilkes-Barre YMCA and Myers' High School, and by scheduling meets with Lycoming, University of Scranton, and Wyoming Seminary. In each of the contests, the Wilkes' organization displayed the form and ability that will, in the future, place them as one of the leading teams in the area.

ARTHUR V ROBERTS. �---=·· ,,. . _,., f\ .... FOREWORD TIFE is progress. Each minute nudges the pre- L ceding minute into the vastness of the past; day replaces day. One more year has gone-one of our college years-a part of our life. But what ·we have lost in time we have gained in those things that cannot be lost-knowledge, experience, friendship, memories. We approach the newness of tomorrow with confidence, having been prepared by the problems of yesterday. We have lived this year, and we have progressed. This yearbook is your pictorial record of the activities of the past year at Wilkes College. Each photograph you will see is a moment snatched from time, holding out the highlight of an event that occurred on the campus during the year. From the immense amount of material available, only that which means something to you has been chosen. Every aspect of college life, the serious and the gay, the trifling and the weighty, has been important during the year, and each is represented here. The Amnicola staff is proud to have had the opportunity to publish your yearbook. The job of keeping abreast of a rapidly-expanding institution with an increasing number of activities has been challenging. Because Wilkes College has been progressive, the Staff has aimed at the publication of a completely new and better yearbook. The pictures here are part of your life; may they help you to remember good times, old friends, and your Alma Mater. ~,,,.,_,,,.,_~ LEO M. GILBERT ..... . .....................

EUGENE SHEDDEN FARLEY �To the CLASS of 1950 . . . ALTHOUGH the class of 1950 will be the third to graduate ..tl. from Wilkes College, it will be the first to receive the Wilkes College diploma. For two years after the College was chartered, Bucknell University granted its credits and its diplomas so that graduates of Wilkes might enter graduate and professional schools without difficulty. As Wilkes is now accredited independently, its graduates can enter advanced institutions without support from Bucknell. This accreditment assures the independence of the College but in no way does it break the sentimental ties that arise from gratitude for support extended during the formative years of the College. At no time has the future of the College seemed brighter or more assured. This year we anticipated a decline in enrollment, but instead, we attained the highest enrollment in the history of the College. Even while doing this, the College admitted only a small portion of those who applied for admission. umbers increased, even though the College adhered to its policy of selecting for qua1ity rather than seeking numbers. Friends of the College have established its foundations and have, as indicated in Mr. McClintock's message, received great satisfaction from the work that they have done. Their generosity and vision have made possible the creation of the College, and it is because of their generosity and vision that many young people have had their horjzons extended and their capabilities increased. It seems fitting in wishing you every success for the future that I should take this opportunity to express the gratitude which all of us owe to the Trustees and friends who have created Wilkes College. As they have increased your opportunities, may you in turn increase the opportunities of those who follow you. It is only by extending greater opportunities to the next generation that we can show our gratitude to those who have helped us. Each person by his life adds or detracts from the generation of which he is a part. May it be said of this first class to receive the diploma of Wilkes College that they have passed on "a goodly heritage." /1'1---~~~ EUGENE S.

McCLINTOCK �stees S TUDENTS and alumni of Wilkes College know the story of its growth, but most of them are unaware of the satisfaction derived by those of us who have been able to participate in its growth. Members of the Board of Trustees share the feeling that they have helped in creating an institution that will render service for many generations. They recognize that a college, once it is firmly established, is as permanent as most creations of men. To participate in the growth of the College and to observe the opportunities opened to students because of the training offered, has been stimulating. However, the demands of a growing college are pressing and ever present. It seems at times that the completion of one step, instead of offering a respite, immediately demands another effort. We have come to recognize that growth leads to growth, and are fully aware of the unending process that has been started. This condition is as it should be, however, because it is only through such vitality that growth takes place. In its formative years, the College has turned to members of the community for guidance and support. It is the hope of those of us who have helped to establish the College that gradua1ly the a]umni will assume some of this responsibility so that the unending development we have visualized may be assured.

Philosophy instructs the students in individual and social ethics; it discloses the teachings of Plato, Aristotle, Locke, and Kant in the history of ancient, medieval, and modern philosophy. Under the guidance of Rabbi Friedman, Reverend Schindler, and Dr. Vujica, stude:0:ts are taught the nature and origin of religion. The study of the literature of the Old Testament and the 1 ew Testament gives us a background for our own day and shows us the significance in conLem porary life.

W ATEHS President Life is so devised that every so often one must stop to look back and take stock. What has gone before will usually set the stage for what is to come. That time has come for us-the class of 1950. We have looked back to the four preceding years and we find them full. The stage is set; the future does not frighten us. We started out together in the school year of 19464 7, and spent most of it getting organized and acquainted. We did a lot of laughing and playing that year. The year before, we had made history by soundly thrashing an oppressive enemy and we felt that we never again wanted to be serious. We made friends easily; we talked loud and long, and we found WILLIAM A. PLUMMER )EA;_1 Vice-President ec college Jife a happy interlude. 1950 wa too far off to worry about. By the time we had become sopho~1.ores, we were organized and acquainted. Our views changed; we were not boisterous. Our work took on increased seriousness, school affairs became more interesting. We saw more football games, went to more dances, took an interesl in Lhe Student Council, and began to speak more proudly of our school. We attacked our studies more vigorously. Our Junior year found us thoughtful men and women specializing in our major work.

The Cinderella Ball, April Showers Ball, Cabaret Parties, and port dances became moments of relaxation- almost a necessary part of school. We thought more deeply and answered more truthfuJly. We began to face facts and we stopped dreaming. When we entered our final } ear, we had developed. \Ve no longer puzzled or feared.

DITOJW Treasurer There are some who will say that our final year has been as usual-dances, balls, formal affairs, and graduation. But we do not think it was ordinary. This- our class of 1950- has not been an ordinary class. We are different not because we wanted to be, but because circumstances beyond our control dieLated Lhat we must. We have seen it all-depression and war- and we have felt that these were unnecessary. Even those of u who are not veterans have been touched by the scars the veterans hear. And those of us who are not veterans are, too, equally inspired with the thought that these things need not happen again. To that we are dedicated! Andrew J. Basar Ellen Brennan Kingston, Pa.

President fhe Tran -Euphoria Airline did a thriving business that night as the lrem Temple Ballroom grew alive with people. Distraught students gradua1ly became less interested in the facts and figures which had danced that afternoon in the areas behind their eyes, and became more interested in the fact that figures more absorbing were dancing in the area before their eyes. They noticed the puffy clouds and the huge grey stralocruisers which decorated the hall. They listened to the band, it was Melton, and since it is possible to keep feet still for only so long, they danced! They sipped cokes and munched on chips. They unloosed their woes and sympathized with their neighbors. WADE w. HAYHURST Vice-Pre ident They had fun! Perhaps they were not aware, but they had boarded the T.E.A. :flagship and were making the flight from Examdespair to Euphoria. So it was, on that night of January 27, 1950, the last day of finals, that the Class of '51 broul,!;ht peace to fevered brows. The delightful fluster of newly-acq uire<l ·ocia] prominence was still warm on the cheeks of its members, however, when the Class found itself confronlell by the problem of deficit financing. Yes, though successful in all other aspects, the dance had left the Class wallowing in a monetary morass. Pointed discussion of the situation ended in the decision that the Class would raffie its way out of the frank Anderl:lon Anthony Andronaco John Badman Jules Baltimore Peter Banos Joseph Bendoraiti& Arthur Bloom Edward Bogusko Virginia Bolen Benjamin Bona Patricia Boyd Eugene Bradley Janyt Burgess John Burnetski Sanford Cohen red, or at le chance hooks all over the i turns were an fully tossed ] hanna.

Shortly thereafter, chance books procJaiming a bargain raffle were found all over the school. It was said, when the raffle reLurns were announced, that treasurer Bob Starr gleef uUy tossed his bottle of red ink into the Susquehanna. It is known somewhat more definitel y that all Juniors sighed deeply in satisfaction. And this satisfaction shortly took the form of renewed confidence. Feeling the security of having firm financial footing again, the Class stepped forward to gr apple with a real challenge, the initiation of a n ew precedent in Wilkes tradition, the JuniorSenior Prom. The Class m.embers, pretty well organized by that time, hopped to their respective jobs with alacrity. In a flurry of excitem.ent, the matter of time, place, date, and mode of dress were speedily dispatched. Contracts for band and hall quickly acquired their necessa1·y signatures. Suggestions for decorations we1·e offered, discussed, modified, and agreed upon. Snooping of these several activities was the commi!.tee on publicity, looking for news-worthy angles which might help to advertise this crowning achievement of the Junior Class. ow, having firmly rooted the Junior-Senior Prom in Wilkes tradition, the C1ass of '51 again sighs in the pleasant satisfaction of a job well done.

There were many pretty "Belles" in Lhe Freshman Class. In fact, so many were attract" ve that nine out of the twenty-five candidates in the Amnicola Beauly Contest were Freshmen.

The administration, in recognition of the time and work required of responsible staff members, instituted a new policy of offering scholarships to students who could m eet specified qualifications for the four top editorial posts. After the preliminary selection of editors was completed, the work of the Amnicola staff began in earnest. Early in the first semester the editors realized that they would be hard-pressed trying to keep up to the accelerate d expansion policy of the college. Each new building added to the campus meant a re-shuffling of the "Dummy" copy; each new activity and socjal function called for more copy and pictures that had to be included somewhere; each new problem required immediate solution. Leon M. Gilbert Editor-in-Chief Editorial conferences among the editors and managers of the Yearbook kept the Amnicula staff a closely coor9-inaled group. After eight months of back-breaking activity, with Editor Gilbert running from the engravers to the printers and back again, the book finally went to press. Proofs were read and r eread, and by the middle of May the final work and worry had cea-.ed. The 1950 Amnicola, published by and for the students of Wilkes College, came out in the m"ddle of June at which time the m embers of the staff could be seen giving them out to the students. After the last book was gone, the staff breathed a deep sigh of relief, packed their bags, and left school- headed for a badly needed vacation. Robert S. Assistant Busi Marion S.

It was not a well rounded NEWS paper. After complaints were aired at a student-faculty dinner, things began to happen. New personnel and ideas were added. Hangers-on, staff m.embers who contributed nothing lo Lhe progress of the Beacon, were dismissed. The staff dwindled. However, something new was added. Homer Bones, old stuff to the campus, via the 1949 Amnicola, joined the Beacon staff. Homer's creators, Art Bloom and Don Follmer, using trick props and photography, joined forces with Tom Robbins, who wrote the stories for and of Homer, to achieve the versatile personality and abilities of Homer Bones, Esquire, "and his copy of the sa1ne name." The editor-in-chief last Fall was Russ Williams. When he graduated in February, Vince Macri once again took the reins. Macri had been editor for a time the previous year. Vincent P. Macri Editor-in-Chief Thomas M. Root.ins Features Editor Significant indeed was the newly established scholarship plan for the editors of the campus publications. Full tuition was offered to the editorin-chief and $100 scholarships to the two subordinate editors and the business manager. The Beacon again sponsored the annual Interscholastic Press Conference and one of their famous Cabarel styled parties. Both events were highly successful. High school editors were invited to the conference, and discussions concerning the publishing problems confronting high school staffs were conducted. Editor Macri presided. Various speakers connected with newspaper writing and printing entertained the students with enlightening talks about the newspaper world. fV Two issues of tl gave recognition 1 students at Wilke: to read each mar deciding which w, published.

The task of the all-student staff was to read each manuscript submitted for approval before finally 1leciding which were worthy of receiving the distinction of being published. In an effort to improve the appearance of the Manuscript and to conserve space necessary for the inclusion of more contributions, the staff decided to discard the traditional format in favor ' of a completely redesigned magazine. The result was a spring i sue combining eye-appeal, dignity, and economy. The space saved by the new format allowed the addition of a new section entirely devoted Lo book reviews. The acceptance of four new members to replace those who had graduated brought the staff up to its full complement. Richard Rutkowski, elected editor-in-chief, coordinated the work of the group, and Dr. Mary E. Craig, faculty adviser to the staff, offered her experienced gnidance. In order to more fully acquaint the tudents of the college with the purpose and the progress of the Manuscript, a program. of public relation on campus was devised with Robert Metzger in charge. B.

Verco n Preside1tt By the time the wails of the initiated Freshmen had died down to mere moans and groans, the '49-'50 Student Council had become an active group. Upperclassmen elections the previous Spring had created a nucleus about which the new Freshmen members and replacements joined forces. Thus was formed the Student Council as a complete working unit. Several sport dances were sponsored by the Council at the St. Stephen's church house. The dances were free, and refreshments were served at most of them. Dances were curtailed somewhat later when the student activities fund began to shrink, apparently not sanforized. The big event of the first semester was the Winter Carnival held at Split Rock Lodge. It was at the start of the second semester that the 1·evolutionary idea of having sport dances in the cafeteria was proposed at a council meeting. The dances were held almost every Friday night; they were successes from start to finish. As Spring rounded Lhe corner, two big items appeared on the council agenda. One item was the Cinderella Ball; the other was the elections for student council members for the '50-'51 school year. Claude Thornhill was Cinderella's beau for this year of 1950.

Meeting LITERARY SOCIETY In December, a group of students met under the suggestion of Dr. Kruger to organize a society for the informa] discussion of literature and creative writing. The group adopted the name The Wilkes Literary Society and submitted a contitution which was approved by the Student Council. The purpose of the organization, as stated in the constitution, is to provide an intellectual climate in which all students interested in creative writing, both of prose and poetry, may flourish. The members decided early in the life of the society that informality was to be the tone of all meetings, and their decision resulted in a series of absorbing discmsions. The members of the society read their original compositions which were discussed and criticized by the group. The helpful criticism offered at the meetings helped many of the members out of their writing difficulties. The Wilkes Literary Society is an innovation at Wilkes. The original idea was offered by Dr. l ruger, who had been approached by students wishing to informally continue with creative writing after completing required college courses. After several months of productive meetings, the Literary Society has become an established institution at Wilkes Co1lege. Dr. Arthur .

' Theta Delta Rho proved to be one of the most active organizations on the campus this year. The activities began with an Orientation program for the Freshmen which included a "'coke" party, a forum, and a tea at which time all Freshmen were invited to join the sorority. The next social event was a Wiener Roast at Hanson's, Harvey's Lake in October. This wa fo1lowed by a Gypsy Caravan Dance. Proceeds from this <lance went into a fund for the support of a War Orphan which the girls voted to adopt for one year. An all-college tea in November proved to be very successful. At the annual Christmas Buffet Supper, each "'Little Sister" was presented a sorority mug by her "'Big Sister." Theta Delta Rho shared their ho]iday spirit with the local hospitals by sending a box of toys to the children's wards. In January, a bake sale was held to obtain more money for the War Orphan Fund. This was a very profitable venture. The second semester was opened ·with the annual Sweetheart Ball at the Irem Temple Country Club. A large crowd attended this semi-formal dance which was one of the nicest dances the organization ever had. This year again the sorority played hostess to senior girls from local high schools at Teas on Wa hington's birthday and St. Patrick's Day. A fashion show highlighted the activities for April. Theta Delta Rho also sponsored a card party in the cafeteria during this month. All the proceeds from these two affairs went toward the War Orphan Fund. Many of the girls' mothers attended the lovely Mother's Day Tea on May S. Theta Delta Rho ende<l the year's activities with the annua l Junior-Senior Dinner. All the affairs had been successful during the year, and Theta Delta Rho closed another chapter in its book, feeling justifiably pleased at the many accomplishments.

Letterrnen-energectic to the last. Ch �[)rge McMahon, Since the inception of the Wilkes College Lettermen's Club in November, 1946, its members have advanced a long way toward their goals of better understanding and closer teamwork. These ideals rewarded the men with stability of heart and mind, and as the ideals have grown stronger, so, the Lettermen, too, have grown-spiritually, mentally, and physically. These men have taken upon themselves the task of becoming leaders, and builders, and men with future vision. To them, the letter of membership has been more than a token of acceptance into an organization; it has been a symbol for a fuller and broader comprehension of their fellow men. If a letter is won for athletic ability, it is also won for something finer- understanding and fair play. There was time also for fun and frolic; within this group there lay a shrewd talent for good entertainment, and they proved their capabilities. The Christmas Formal, held at the lrem Temple Country Club, was a heart warming success. Grumblings and rumblings were heard because it was a formal affair, but the boys looked fine in their tuxedos. The April Showers Ball at Sans Souci added Lo the long list of social achievements which did not go unappreciated by their fellow students. Honors were bestowed upon the Lettermen's Club! Two of its oldest members attained national fame. John Florkewicz and Gerard Washko, stars among stars, signed contracts with the Pittsburgh Steelers, It was a good year for the Lettennen and they felt that something had been accomplished. Though they faltered at times, and at others, forgot; they realized that these were human frailties. When they faltered, they had the benefit of good leaders, for they had chosen well. With the words of one of the Lettermen we shall close for 1950: "We know that when we leave college, our membership will have better equipped us to accept the challenge of the future. We have learned much in our little group; we must now apply it to our nation." George F. Ral slon Adviser Jon es, Norman romack, Frank Snee, Thomas , the last.

The members of the International Relations Club believe it is the right ancl even the duty of each individual to make up his own mind on questions concerning the common good. They narrow down this all-encompassing interest by focusing auention through the topic picked for discussion at each of the monthly forums. Through these forums, and discus ion periods, and correspondence with foreign youth groups, the students in I.R.C. feel better qualified for making the value judgments that must be made. They realize that there is not time, today, for fence sitting.

In February 1949, through the efforts of the Public Relations Office and Radio Station WHWL, Wilkes College was afforded the opportunity to better acquaint the citizens of Wyoming Va11cy with their community College by bringing the activities of the college to the attention of the people through a 15 minute radio program.. Under the direction of the Public Relations Department "Wilkes College on thct Air" soon developed into an excellent way for the college to create new interest in its student, faculty, and alumni activities. After the first semester, when the program was heard on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the increased interest in the program prompted the program directors at WHWL to move the broadcast to a three-day a week schedule at the start of the fall semester. The programs were largely concerned with tudent organizations which brought lo their listeners news of developments in the educational field, social activities, and musical programs. lncluded among the featnres presented by ''Wilkes College on the Air" were weekly programs by the Wilkes Beacon, science programs, and programs concerned with national collegiate news. One of the most popular shows was the broadcast by the Wilkes College Mud Gutters ociety. Along with the wide interest the programs helped to create in Wilkes College, it afforded Wilkes students, who are interested in radio work, an opportunity to receive practical experience in script writing, producing, directing, announcing, and the technical duties involved in broadcasting.

It provides social, educationa 1, and a recreational program. In its social role, the club invites all students to join and become acquainted with its me.m bers. In its educational ro1e, the club arranges for prominent speakers from government, po1itics, and business; it also arranges interesting field trip s to various manufacturing concerns. In its recreational capacity, the club conducts an annual pring outing which always proves enjoyable to both students and the faculty. Early each year, the club has an organizational meeting at which time new members are enrol1ed and officers elected. Every year the club has shown a progressively larger enrollment and each year the c1ub has been more active in student affairs. (left to right) Fr tary; Donald K president.

The Society was accepted as a member of the Debating Association of Pennsylvania Colleges and received recognition as being one of the outstanding debating groups in the East. Wilkes d bating teams met and defeated such stalwarts in the intercollegiate debating field as Princeton, Penn., Temple, Swarthmore, Yale, .Y.U., Brooklyn ColJege, Lafayette, Wagner, Hofstra, American University, St. John's and American International. A Lafayette string of thirty consecutive debating victories was broken by the Wilke men in a dual meet. One highlight of the season was the winning of three out of four debates at the Barnard Tournament by the novice team of Ann Belle Perry and Julian Goldstein. Another highlight was the Brooklyn Tournament where a Wilkes team of Tom Morgan, Fred Davis, Don l em.merer, and Charles Eisenstein placed in the upper 25 % of forty-five teams by winning five out of eight debates. The overall record for the year was weU above the .500 mark. Winding up in a blaze of glory, the team of Morgan and Davis won six out of its 1ast seven debates. Various other groups presented stimulating forums before such local organizations as the Kiwanis, Rotary, Presbyterian Church, B'nai Brith, Jr. Chamber of Commerce, and the Student Assemblies.

PRE -MED CLUB The Pre-Medical Club of Wilkes College aims at stimulating interest in the biological and medical science . Members of the club visited the Wilkes-Barre Clinic of Physical Medicine where a tour and lecture was given by the director, Dr. Nicholas MaurieUo. In December, the club held its annual Christmas Party in Chase Theatre; the members enjoyed motion picture , refreshments, and carol singing. In attempting to initiate a new policy of co-operation between campus clubs, the Pre-Med Club joined the I.R.C. and the Chemistry Club to sponsor the Med-IRChem Dance. This dance, held at the Hotel Redington, was an obvious success, and it is hoped that the dance will become an annual campus affair.

Adding Atmosphere In the fall of 1949 Mr. Al Groh, direclor of the theater, left the field of college dramatics for graduate work at Columbia University. Thus W. Thoma Litt1eton came into the life of the frustrated actors and actresses of Wilkes College's Cue 'n Curtain. With the help of twenty bulldozers Mr. Littleton plowed his way through piles of opposition and finally won the hearts of the theater Bohemians. For his first production Mr. Littleton chose "Gho t Train," a mystery me]odrama in three acts. The play wa given in t._ Y.A.R. auditorium in Dece1nber. It was very well received. .._ , 1-he student body and guests. Starting off tht cond semester with a boom, the Wilkes players presented two student-directed one-act plays. One was a small high-school production ca1led ''Clean and Press" directed by Janet Gearhart. The other was an experimental psychological drama ca1led "Min<lSet" directed by Paul Shiffer. The climax of the year came Lo the group of individuals when Mr. Liuleton announced that "Golden Boy" would be the major production of the second semester.

The Wilkes College Choral Club is a student group of men an<l women under the d ·rection of Mr. Donald E. Cobleigh, director of the Wilkes College School of Music. This chorus aims lo train its members in diversified choral literature in preparalion for occasional concert appearances and to fit them for active participation in similar organizations. The chorus of mixed voices meels for two rehearsals each week. As its major project, the organization presented a Spring Concert of the oratorio King David, the biblical hero, by Arthur Honnegger. Although there is no preserved music in existence from David's time, Mr. Honnegger wrote this work in the style which he believes might have been used in the Lime of David. At rehearsals The club made tape recordings of selections from operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan for a radio program presented on a "Wilkes College on the Air" broadcast.

The Colonel backfield, lecl by Francis Pinkowski, rolled up a hurre yardage total in this impressive win.

Beami You can put the 1949-'50 basketbalJ season down as an off-year for Coach Ralston's hoopsters. Along with th e thoughts of trying Lo win ha]] games, the team had to keep an open-eye for any local shed big enough to practice in. Under such a burden, the Colonels managed to come in with a humble record of five wins and seventeen losses. But the season wasn't a complete f ai] ure, not by a long shot. Ralston saw the blossoming of several future stars, namely Bob Benson, John Mackin, and Parker Petrilak. These three boys will play a prominent role in the Wilkes basketba]] history for the next few years. But the main reason why George Ralston can look back on 1949-1950 without shuddering is because King's was finally stopped. After three years of letting the Colonel s have the sloppy side of the score, the Monarchs were finally set down in wonderful fashion, 69-65. Behind Paul Huff's remarkabl e set hooting and Ben Dragon's tremendous defensive work, Lhe Colonels came home with the bacon. True, Kings knocked them off the second time they met, but once was enough- it was a success£ul season. Great things are in store for next year. Just the thou ght of a permanent gym, the new Wilkes College gym, is enough to make coach Ralston break out in a rash. To top it off, he'll have a veteran squad, built on the experienced Charlie Jackson, Bobby Benson, John Mackin, and Parker Petrilak. Only two of 1949-1950's team are graduating, the pint-sized Paul Huff, and the captain, Ben Dragon. The future is bright, but wait a minute, things weren't so very dark this year.

SOCCER Under the able tutorage of Bob Partridge and his Lwo assistants, Reggie Burrs and Bob Moran, the foundation for Soccer was laid deep at Wilkes College. Since a majority of the boys had never played before, Bob had Lo start with the fundamentals and work upward; th e results were aniazing. Tangling with such high-fl.yinµ; soccer schools a H oward University and Lincoln University, where occer is king and "little Junior" learned his socce1· in kindergarten, the raw Colonels made a fine showing for them.• selves. · Coach Partridge's hope for the future lies in Lhe upand-coming freshmen and sophomores, since five departing seniors will leave a big gap in the team. Whether 1950's soccer team will be strong enough to bring home its share of the victory gravy to Wilke remains to be seen. One thing is sure ... like women, occer is here to stay.

The team feels a certain degree of success in that they are able to claim a wealth of experience, personal accomplishment and a firm foundation for a winning team next year. In the eight meets of the season, Wilkes averaged 23.2 points per meet to its opponent's average of 54. The most humiliating loss of the season was the meet with Wyoming Seminary who scored 58 points to Wilkes' 11. The best showing was against Lycoming College when the team showed marked improvement by scoring 35 points under Lycoming's 44. The team was grateful to Coach Clayton Karambelas for all the time and consideration he gave to the team. If the 1951 team is great, we can thank the groundwork laid by the boys in 1950.

Charlt"s Thoma~ WRESTLING The 1949-50 wreslling season saw the Colonels come into being. Coaches made note of our classy youngsters in blue and gold, and from this time forth a wrestling match with Wilkes Co1lege wouldn't be taken lightly. True, this year's squad, under the fine handling of coaches Jim Laggan and Billy Lee, was only able to break even in six meets, but it was no fa ult of our groaners. The opposition was tough through and through, and there wasn't a pushover in the crowd until, of course, the Colonels got nasty and gave I ings a bouncing that they'll never forget. Even then the boys had to sweat. Operating with the St. Stephen's gym as their home base, the wrestlers took on Wyoming Seminary in the opener. It proved to be an easy 20 to 13 victory. But then a tough bunch of hombres up in Ithaca ruined our prospects of an undefeated season by tanning us to the tune of 18 to 12. Coach Laggan Kill 'em!

Then came l ings. The boys let loose. Reynolds, Dvorozniak, McMahon, and Stephens all gave their men a chance to count the lights in the ceiling. When the last Monarch hobbled out, they added up the score. We had them beat by three touchdowns, 28 to 8. West Chester was next on the list and the Colonels couldn't quite make it, dropping a heartbreaker, 13 to 16. The last encounter was with the power-packed bruisers of MillersviBe. Last year these supermen came to WilkesBarre and didn't give the Colonels one bout. This year only Cromack was able to come through with a win and Reynolds with a draw. The final score was 26 to 5. Take these figures and see for yourself what the Colonels were worth. They didn't drop one they should have won, and it took outfits like Millersville, Ithaca, and West Chester to knock them over. 11ear fall Over he goes �(first row) Chet :'.Vlolley, Robert Hall, Francis Pinkowski, Ed Skordinski, Don Blankenbu~h.

BASEBALL When the umpire yelled "play ball" to start the 1950 baseball sea on al Wilkes College, Coach Ra1ston found that he had on hand a team he had b en trying to build for three years. The upperclassmen remember back in 1947 when the Wilke mentor had to bend over backwards to place a man at every position. In 1948 the tory was a little better because of the large group of freshmen that enrolled 'n Lhe college. That year the genial mentor led his charges to a good eight and four record.

This year neither jinx nor lack of personnel was evident because it wasn't too long before the squad assumed more victories than any other Wilkes nine. The team had everything that is needed to produce a good record. There was speed, experience, hitting power, fielding know-how, good rookie talent, and a man who knew how to mold these attributes together. Baseball teams will come and go at Wilkes College, but this one will always be remembered for starting a trend- a trend of advancement that parallels the institution of which it is a part.

Under the heading of extra-curricular activities we find Athletics. The word Athletics encompasses a wealth of history and tradition. Taste in sports vary according to the geographic location of a state or country. In England, soccer is the leading sport; Mexicans enjoy jai a-lai games; Canada is known for ice hockey, and the Japanese practice the art of judo. Here in the United States we delight in practically every form of athletics. We play no particular favorites. Our main theme is not who won or lost hut how the game was played. There is no substitute for sportsmanship on the field of friendly strife. At Wilkes College, the women enjoy many extra-curricular activities. In the winter when the weather doesn't permit fresh outdoor sport , the girls travel to the Y.W.C.A. At the "Y" the swimming pool is in greatest demand. Swimming classes are held once a week for every girl. The crawl, the backstroke, and diving are taught. Basketba lJ and volley ball seem to be the main interest in the gym. The girls form teams to play fast and lively games in each sport. In addition to those gym activities, both square and modern dancing have been introduced.

The first cabaret party, sponsored by the Student Council, was held October 21, in the St. Stephen's church house. The affair starred such famous entertainers as Freddie Stewart, popular songster of recording and movie fame; Kem Wunder, night club blues singer; and Alan Kent, nationally famous emcee.

A change in policy regarding the selection of the Lettermen's Queen was put into effect whereby ALL girls at the dance were eligible to be chosen Queen. Formerly, only Wilkes Co-eds were eligible. This change in policy was put into actual use for Mrs. Jack Jones, wife of a letterman, wa chosen the Colonel's Queen.

Streamers of blue and gold were stretched across the length and width of the room and the Juniors were justifiably pleased at the exclamations of awe which were h eard coming from the guests as they entered the dance.

This vo lum e has as its theme the social calendar, and each activity ha s been placed in the appropriate month. Though its size ha s been slightly reduced becau se of the lower enrollment and rising costs , it embodies many new features and improvements, suc h as the new cover style, lay-outs, frontispiece, and the incre ased number of candid s hots. By compiling the outstanding interests and activities, both academic and socia l, we have tried to preserve as many as possible of the myriad r:.1emo:·ie s of scenes, friends, and fellowships w hich we ha ve gathered through our years at Wilkes. Because of the uncertainty of the outcome of the " cold war" and the United Nations' " police action" in Korea , many of our number w ill enter military service, some for the second time in a decade. During thi s period of crisis, truly " times that try men 's so ul s," the wor ld trembles as it echoes to the sound of marching feet, bursting bombs, and swift jet plane s, w hile the threat of the quick and decisive blow of an atomic attack is ever present. On the other hand , crisis and uncertainty are not new to the gr a d ua tes of 1951. The majority of us were born in the midst of the depression and we re reared during the years of World War II. Still, the fact th a t we hav e come through relatively unscathed is a good indicatio n that we, as ind iv idual s and as a nation, can cope success full y with whatever adver sit y Fat e designs, an d at the sa me time, can make the mos t of every opportunity .

As four years of college draw to an end, we face again the threat of a world war, the third such threat to face the peoples of the wor ld within thirty-five years. If the past four years have opened to you new possibilities for personal development and have given you a vision of the heights that can be obtained by men of courage and conviction, you will be well equipped to meet the uncertainty that lies before you. This equipment will not consist of sure answers to all of the problenis that confront us. It will consist of a flexible and growing mind driven to greater achievement by a dynamic spirit. You will face new uncertainties with the conviction that you can cope with them because of the resources you have developed within yourself . . Knowledge may aid you, but the ideals that guide you and the aspirations that drive you will lead to ever-developing resources of mind and spirit. Men and women who would contribute to the great problems that confront us must develop a sureness of vision and a serenity of spirit. Sureness of vision and purpose cultivates confidence in those about us, even as it strengthens the cause for which we stand. In a world of uncertainty men must, therefore, cultivate an inner strength that can never come from without. In order to bring security and certainty in to this world, you must be prepared to face both insecurity and uncertainty. It has been said that "great ends are never attained by small men." Th e greatness of the challenge that lies before us demands that we develop within. ourselves a largeness of vision, a strength of character, and a willingness to sacrifice for a cause that is greater than ourselves. It is my hope that your four years of college education have led you to the threshold of your mind, so that in the years ahead your insight, your resolution, and your understanding will ever increase.

There was much to accomplish as they came closer to the end of their four-year career. The Officers were President Loui s Bonani, Vice-president Jim Richardson. Secretary Don Law, and Treasurer Bob Sanders. During its third year the class was active in helping the Red Cross , the Community Chest. and the Blood Bank. Whenever the ca ll for a id was heard, the Ju nior Class co uld be co unted on. In February, Theta Delta Rho h eld their ann ual Valentine Dance and the Junior Class was honored to h ave Ann Belle Perry, an active member of the class , chosen as the q ueen of Hearts. Pretty Jeanne Smith was later the Colonels' Queen at the Lettermen's April Showers Ball. In May, the Junior Class sponsored the Senior Farewell Party at the American Legion Post 131. G iven in honor of the graduating class, and replacing the annual Ju nior-Senior Prom , the affair was a huge success. So ended the third year of good fellowship. Next September the Junior Cla ss w ill embark on its fourth and fina l year. It h as been a good crew to have aboard.

The always-active Dave Whitney was elected president, Leo Kane vice-president, Lucille Reese secretary, and Roxy Reynolds treasurer. These students were elected to class offices on their reputations as active and dependable individual s. The choice couldn't have been a better one. Isabel Ecker, Connie Smith , Dave Park, and Dave Whitney were later chosen to represent the class in the Student Council. In an attitude of friendliness the Sophomore Class helped guide the incoming Freshmen by co-sponsoring the Freshman-Sophomore " Joy Jaunt," a well-received farmer dance , as the year's fir s t big affair. Some weeks later a wiener roast was held at Harvey's Lake, and , thanks to Skinny Ennis, the outing was a tremendous success. By the end of the seco nd month of the sc hool year the Sophomore Class had established itself as one of the most active classes on the campus and could claim its share of "big w heels" at Wilkes. This is a far cry from the timid, bewild ered Freshman Cla ss of September, 1949. The individual accomp li shments of sophomores serving on various extra-curricular activities have made a solid name for the Sophomore Cla ss. The Class of 1953 is on its way.

Lik e thousands of freshmen everyw h ere , our 1950 Freshman Class put on a col legiate look and tried , hesitan tl y to find its n iche in life. But, unlike others, Wilkes ' fre smen soon became oriented and made an early and surprising con tribution to the initiation program. The Freshman Class hit the head lin es w ith its glorious and stubborn battle agains t the traditiona l "Initiation" of undetermined end ing d a te. Their proposal wa s a tug-of-war b etw een 2000 pounds of frosh and a n equal poundage of upper classmen. In the e v ent the frosh were v ictoriou s and they ,vere - initiation would en d . If they lost, Frosh dinks w ould be w orn until the Wilkes-King's game. Their goa l of fair play and good clean co ll ege fun as the basis of the initi ation program was adopted after three weeks of hearty bickering. Under the splendid leadership of P resident Al Wallace, the Freshman C lass did more than just settle the initiation problem. The class enthu sia s ti cally supported the Blood Drive , the Community Chest Drive and the Red Cross. A s co-spon sors of the Soph-Frosh " Joy Jaunt," the class prov ed that it w ou ld take an active pa rt in the s chool's so cial affairs. Its athletes ~nd student lead e r s w ere of the highe st ca libre. It is the cl ass' ea gerne ss to make Wilkes Co llege a b e tte r sc hool that has es ta bli s hed th e Freshman Cla ss ' fin e reputa tion.

As a separate organization, the Student Council held sport dances, cond ucted the Colonels' Carava n to off- campu s football games, organized Homecoming Week , and spon so red the famed Cind erella Ball. The Student Council is ve ry much in the n ews at Wilke s College. Much of the Council' s 1951 success is due to President Bob E ltus' fine lea der ship.

Men at work �HERMAN KESSLER Edit or-in-chief 11 The inside story Staff in action The Manuscript, Wilkes' literary magazine, is staffe d by stud ents and is devoted to publishing the best writing s of Wilkes students. An attempt to provide r ea ding matter for all tastes has lead to the inclu sion of stories, essays, articles, and poetry. Wendell Clark was elected editor-in-chief in Septemher , but resigned when it became apparent that he was to be recalled into the service. Herman Kessler was appointed to replace Mr. Clark . It was the staff's good fortune that Mr. Clark , after a semester at night school, returned to an active position on the Manuscript, still a civilian. Dr. Mary E . Craig is the faculty adviser to the staff and much credit may be accorded her for the Manuscript's fine reputation as a dignified , interesting, and eye-catching college literary magazine. Each year the Chemistry, Biolog y, and Physics I)eparements of Wilkes conduct the famed Science E xpos1t1on for students from all th e high sc hool s in W yoming Valley. Under the guidance of Dr. Bastress, Dr. R eif, and Mr. Hall, the 1951 Science Exposition was as succ essful as the preceding ones. The purpose of the Science Exposition is to exhibit the facilities of our science departments and to give yo ung high school students a glimpse of what is a h ead of them in the wo rld of science. Thi s is one of many community projects carried on b y Wilkes College . Due to budget problems the Manuscript was publi shed only once during the sc hool year. A modification of last year's new format made the magazine still more attractive . In keeping with the springtime publication, the cover was a delicate green.

King' s was beaten once by the thrilling score of 64-62, but two other times the Moparchs trimmed th e Colonels. The boys beat Harp ur ' s 101 - 73 a nd then lost to them by a 6250 score. With our gym packed to the rafters, Wild Bill Mlkvy, Temple 's sensational All-American, got himself national glory by making a new intercollegiate record of 73 points against the Colonels. Petrilak nosed out Be nso n by one point for the season with hi s 333 point ha rve s t. The team may have been a lo sing one, but it s urel y was colorful. Captain Charlie Jackson and Coach Ralston After trying for years to find a place to practice, the basketball team settled down in our new gym very nicely. But the Colonels and then the fan s found that it takes more than a new gym to produc e a w inning basketball team. Finishing up the season w ith seven straig ht defeats, the Colonels ta cke d up a 5-22 record, the worst in Wilkes ' hi story . Coa ch Ralston found him self with a team that needed experience and a little more height. A couple helping s of each would have given the Colonels a better season. Len Batroney's speed, and John Milliman 's height, com bin ed with Eddie D avis' a ll-a round ability should ma ke next year's team a goo d o ne . The a maz ing Parker Petrilak , picking up w here he left off in soc cer, was Ralston 's only rebound man. If P a rker had had a partner, the Colonels wou ld have gone places.

Structurally, we have employed a number of new features; a new layout, sketches, color, and an art theme based on our fellow publication, the Beacon-all in the quest for continued improvement. Acknowledgment is due all those students and business persons who contributed advice, time, and energy so invaluable to the staff. This, the seventh volume of life at a liberal arts college, we deliver into your hands with the hope that as you turn its pages, you will pause and reflect on the happenings herein preserved.

G:.ory to thy name. Fo ur MINIST Five ION �President's Message TO THE CLASS OF 1952: International tensions and the threat of war may be with us for years to come, perhaps for the rest of our Ii ves. We are challenged, therefore, in this time of stress to develop personal equanimity which alone will preserve us from the disintegrating effects of insecurity and emotional stress. Personal equanimity is never to be gained for the asking. It comes only to those capable of rising above personal ambitions and devoting a share of their energies to the welfare of their neighbors, their community, their nation, and their world. Do not confuse equanimity with complacency. Complacency is the product of unawareness and indifference to the ills and needs of our times. Equanimity is part of a dynamic force that requires some vision of the infinite possibilities of man along with a knowledge of his numerous frailties. It requires faith that men who work in harmony with the laws of the universe and with God will attain some measure of success, if the goals they seek and the means they use are worthy. It requires, also, humility which enables men to understand their neighbors and to work with them in friendliness and in confidence . This equanimity can come only to those possessing a faith in a Power beyond self. My words may have little meaning to you today. If, however, we are fated to live in a prolonged period of stress, the experiences of your life will give them meaning. As tensions mount and men of small stature lose their perspective, and in frantic desperation threaten the ideals and institutions to which they give lip service, the importance of personal integrity and equanimity increases. In such times you will come to recognize that these great qualities of man are at once the bases and the hope of freedom, of democracy, and of our civilization. Perhaps you will think that I am asking too much of you. I do not think so. I am merely asking you to recognize something of your own possibilities and to seek to develop them. You will face discouragement and, if you seek great ends, will sometimes fail. Failure and discouragement must ever be accepted as the inevitable concommitants of great endeavors. Great ends are attained only by those who can face failure and still retain their vision and their hopes. Strength to transcend failure and discouragement are essential and even the strongest must sometimes gain strength from others. As Lord Halifax wrote in a moment of crisis for England, "Great ends are never attained . by small men." Paradoxically it may also be true that men are never truly great until they undertake the impossible. You may often wonder whether or not you should undertake a task or accept an opportunity. Your best judgment will be required in coming to a decision, but it is well to remember that the wisdom of the decision generally depends upon what you do after it is made. In moments of doubt, one of my friends gains comfort from a brief prayer which gives new strength and hope. "Lord, give me the courage to undertake the things that can be changed, The patience to endure the things that cannot be changed, And the wisdom to know the difference." EUGENE SHEDDEN FARLEY ,.""'~,... ... ~~~ ( ( ( ~ ~l!!!!!II!\\ ., ) ) ) ( ) t l ) ) l .) ..... ..,._ . ._...;~ PRESIDENT Six So far I have spoken about you and your future. My final words, however, will deal with a bit of your future and mine. We have now known each other for four years. As we part at the Commencement of 1952, I hope that the friendship between us may grow warmer and richer with the passing of the years. EUGENE S. FARLEY ~ �Dean of Men Dean of \\tonu:rG~idance Di.rector • ;~, I Public Relations Activities Director Registrar GEORGE F. RALSTON GERTRUDE M. WILLIAMS JOHN J. CHWALEK ADMINISTRATION HERBERT J. MORRIS ComptroHer The heart and soul of Wilkes may be a cheering crowd nt a footba ll game, a bunch of fello ws and g als swapping stories over coffee in the Cafeteria, or one of those so-serious bull sessions held right before every big exam, but what makes the school tick can be found right in Chase Hall, the general headquarters of Wilkes College. Amid the typewriters, adding machines, leathery offices, and narrow halls is the organization behind W i 1 k e s College. Downstairs on the main floor is found the off ice of Registrar Herbert Morris. He i~ chief schedulemaker, compiler of statistics, and _coordma~or of wor~ on t_he College catalogue. His part m the Wilkes team is a qmet but very important one. Comptroller Donald Kersteen's office is next to Mr. Morris'. It is Mr. Kersteen who has the difficult job of handling the finances of Wilkes College. This then is our administration. Lodged inside ivycovered 'Chas~ Hall, the administratio!1 nevertheless touches the being of every student at Wilkes. Upstairs in the back of Chase Hall is Dr. Farley's office. Here the President of Wilkes carries out his official business. Occasionally he'll swing around on his swi veJ chair and look out his wide expanse of windows. Below is his college. At times he may be seen chatting with one of the students about some school problem. It is here that Dr. Farley looks out for the welfare of Wilkes, and ·the community which the school serves. Down the hall is the off ice of Dean of Women, Mrs. Gertrude Williams. Succeeding Dsan Harker, Mrs. Williams has done a commendab~e job as an efficient and popular administrator. A newspaper reporter of note and one of the outstanding instructors in the English Department, Mrs. Williams has tackled her new position of Dean of Women like a reporter on a new assignment. She, herself, says that it has been an exciting first year. DONALD R. KERSTEEN CHARLES J. FOXLOW (Office Staff Sitting: J ean J ones. Mary Ar gen io. Standing: Jane Willsea, Eleanore Pish , J ean Machon is, Emma Grilli, Louise Dodson. Across the hall from Dean Williams is the office of George Ralston, Dean of Men. Energetically solving the myriad of personal and professional problems that find their way to his desk, Dean Ralston still has time to talk to students about their personal problems, advise ·, mdergrads and grads, and lend his sparkling sense of hu~ or and love of fun to the campus. Dean Ra 1ston uses his spare time constructively by being Athletic Director, head football and basketball coach, Faculty resident of the Butler Dormitory, and adviser to the Lettermen's Club. Eight Xine ROBERT W. PARTRIDGE �DEPARTMENT HEADS The vital role of the department heads cannot be overemphasized. Their never ending interest in standards, student activities, reference materials, and curriculum is responsible for much of Wilkes' rapidly improving position among liberal arts colleges. To aid them in this, they bring a wealth of specialized training and experience, as well as ~tudy, travel, and teaching the world over, thus giving them the cosmopolitan viewpoint so essential to the well-rounded development of the student. Two new department heads were welcomed this year, Dr. Smith as head of the Education Department, and Mr. Detroy as head of the Music Department, both of whom have made possible even more varied courses than were heretofore available.

Intramural ::;ports B.iS. in C & F Intramural sports Senior History The Senior Class entered their last year with a burst of enthusiasm, determined to make their final semesters at Wilkes as successful as the preceding ones. The first matter of business on the agenda was a spirited contest for class offices. When the final ballots had been tabulated, James Richardson had been elected president, Louis Bonanni vice - president, Robert Sanders secretary, and Donald Law treasurer. To help the freshmen become better acquainted with the students and faculty of Wilkes, the seniors' first social event was informal, a countrystyle farmer dance. The affair had enthusiastic support by the student body and accomplished its objective of promoting good friendship and school spirit. In March, the seniors staged the second annual "Senior Spectacle," an evening of entertainment by the seniors and the faculty who met in battle on the basketball court. The affair filled the gymnasium with a large crowd as plenty of laughter and action rolled through the evening. The Junior Class later honored the Class of '52 with a dinner-dance at McClintock Hall. The event touched off a series of events where seniors would honor and be honored in their last days of academic study. Most remembered by our class, will be the Senior Dinner Dance given by the administrative department of the college, as faculty and future alumni of Wilkes met socially. With funds from the class treasury, the seniors have prepared their gift, a stone bench, which is under construction and will be presented in June. This gift will be in appreciation to Wilkes College. Although we will no longer roam the campus that has become so familiar to us, we will always remember the many happy and valuable experiences that we have had while college students. In future years as we part and take our place in all walks of life, Wilkes will not be forgotten. Whatever our success may be, we can never lose sight of the fact that much of that success is a result of teaching and guidance we received while here. As the time of farewell draws near, and as the four years we have spent here flash back before our eyes, we say to Wilkes, "Well done, and so long for now . . ."

Of course, this can be said of every class, but this year's Junior Class had something different, something intangible that is not acquired by all classes. The same can also be said of every activity the class has undertaken. For example, in the social activities field I think the class of '53 has far exceeded the attempts of other classes. We have tried to follow a policy of providing the best but in a different way. Our attempts have been to get away from the usual run of affairs. I realize that social activity is not everything in a class but we must admit it is a very important criteria for determining the status of a class. An example of the above policy was the Sadie Hawkins Day Jamboree held in November. Few people can actually say that they did not enjoy the activities that were presented on that festive night. With the music of well-known bands (recorded, that is) the festivities began. New types of dances were introduced, costumes of all sorts appeared but the most impressive of all was the skit the class had prepared, which starred our own little Helen Scherff and her li'l Abner, Bob Evans. After the Jamboree, the class settled down once again to await the oncoming Junior-Senior Prom. When the time arrived, our policy of providing the best sprang into action. The class was not too enthusiastic over a prom but they realized they had to provide something that this year's Senior Class would always remember. They did in the form of a buff et dinner and dance held in McClintock Hall. The affair, a little out of the ordinary, was a splendid success. In the field of athletics, it is important to point out that the class did not lack representation in any activity. Along with having a few outstanding members on the soccer squad, the class was well represented on the football, basketball, and baseball teams. We, the Juniors of Wilkes, look forward to our coming senior year, and hope that in all its trials and tribulations, its bits of happiness and gaiety we can obtain a status that will be even better than that position in which we now find ourselves.

The class that once rose up-in-arms against Freshmen Week, the Tribunal, and everything else at Wilkes has become a quiet, plodding, hard-working organization, seldom given to stirring up controversies. The Sophomore Class began the year by electing officers. Al Wallace was once again chosen president. An oldster proven in abilities, Dale Warmouth, was elected vice-president, Carol Reynar was selected as secretary, and Gene Scrudato as treasurer. The class has supported everything at Wilkes. It was a class that could always be counted on. Its members were out in force at football games and other sporting events, they supported the dances and various campus drives, and were usually always found in the thick of things. Here is just a brief jotting of some of the Class' more outstanding members. Jimmy Atherton, Moe Batterson, Eddie Davis, Bob Heltzel, Bob Javer, Joe Sikora, Ray Tait, Joe Trosko, and John Milliman were the athletes. Batterson further distinguished himself with his trills as a member of the Harmoneers and Collegians. Warmouth, Mike Lewis, Gene Scrudato, and Sam Meline were active on the publications. Wayne Madden and Joe Sikora were outstanding musicians. Janie Carpenter hustled long and hard for the cheerleaders. These and many others all contributed to the Wilkes' scene. The Sophomore Class came into Wilkes with a lot of fight. It hasn't lost a bit of that, even though it has become more mature. It still wants to make Wilkes the best of all schools. It still wants to make its four-year stay at Wilkes the best of all possible stays. And it still wants to be, in true roaring fashion, the best of all possible classes.

LOU STECK President DAVE KUNKLE Vice-President The Freshman Class hesitantly took their initial step into college life, plowed through registration, book buying and the general confusion of opening days, all of which left the Frosh unfazed, but strenuous days were ahead and many a good man felt the clippers and paddle as the Sophomores cheerfully initiated their Freshmen wards. Proving their spunk, the Freshmen soon ended initiation, and were ready to orient themselves to Wilkes College. Knowing they would need leaders to direct their enthusiasm and interests, the Freshman Class elected their officers. As President they chose Lou Steck; as Vice-President, Dave Kunkle; Lois Long was chosen Secretary; and Art Hoover was elected Treasurer. As Student Council representatives, they elected Eleanor Opalski, Harold Jenkins, and Robert Reynolds. Advisers were Mr. Welton Farrar and Dr. Charles Reif. These two men were most instrumental in helping the Freshman Class make a smooth adjustment. Beginning their participation as co-sponsors of the "FroshSoph Joy Jaunt" they continued with their "Turkey Trot," an outing that will be hard to top, and they were the first class to hold a Parents' Party. By their enthusiastic support of the Blood Drive, Community Chest, Red Cross and many other worthy drives, the Freshman Class proved that they were supporters of the community as well as the college. Academically, athletically, dramatically, and socially the Freshman Class found a highly recognized spot in the minds of everyone at Wilkes College. By their sincerity and willingness to cooperate they have attained their goal of helping to make Wilkes College not just a community college but a highly accredited, widely recognized, and deeply respected college. As we close our first year, we can look to the future and know that these Freshmen of today will be tomorrow's leaders. LOUIS F.

ARTHUR N. KRUGER Adviser BOB EVANS Editor-in-Chief Bob Evans found he had stepped into no easy job when he took over the position of editor-in-chief of the Amnicola. The seventh annual Amnicola faced a budget problem stiffer than any of the preceding six. The reduction of appropriations, plus the rising costs of labor and materials, proved a tremendous challenge to Editor Evans and his business manager, Sam Meline. By hard work and tight fistedness the job was done and the Amnicola rolled off the presses in to your hands. Finances are always first and foremost, but other problems bumped into Editor Evans. Pictures and copy must be gotten. A good lay-out is essential. But over and above all else an interesting, wellbalanced, informative yearbook must be produced. Mr. Evans back in September arranged his desk and got to work. For nine months the desk looked like a kid's toy box, and then Editor Evans sent the final material to the printers. He leaned back, sighed, and started to clean off his desk. Helping Editor Evans was a full and complete staff. Paul Beers was copy editor for the second straight year, banging off in bumpy rhythm what he likes to call "complete coverage."

Bob Croker and Ed Grogan hollared "Smile pretty please," while they snapped campus life. A new addition to the Amnicola family was artist Pat Fitzgerald. A freshman with a penchant for drawing guys with square chins doing stupid things, she gave an added zest to the book that was pure Fi tzgeraldian. And there were other little things that contributed to turning out the 1952 Amnicola. Somebody had to do something with all the empty coke bottles lying around in the off ice. Somebody always had to be there to explain that the previous editor had put that calendar up on the wall, as many parties wondered why Helen would let Editor Bob get away with it. Somebody always had to mess up the sorted pict ures, or maybe bring a picture of their own in late. Some body had to open the windows on cold days a nd close them on warm ones. Little acts of kindness like t hese often go unnoticed when credit is given for a splendid yearbook. We wish to thank all who contributed the least bit to this book. And so to you, the reader, we leave the task of judging the 1952 Amnicola. You'll never know all t he struggles and all the fun that went into it, but you are the critic and to you we give our piece of a rt. May you be merciful and well-satisfied. Office Staff StandingQ Merlyn Dixon, Margaret Luty, Ed Wheatley SeatedQ Helen Brown, Jane Carpenter, Ruth Carey Copy Staff Paul Beers and Chuck Gloman Forty-one �MANUSCRIPT "Infinite riches in a small room" was the aim of Manuscript, the literary magazine at Wilkes, this year as it has been ever since the initial publication in 1947. With Wendell Clark as chief of the staff, the editors pored over a flood of manuscripts to select the best representation of literary efforts by student writers. CHUCK GLOMAN Editor-in-Chief, 2nd semester GEORGE KABUSK Editor-in-Chief, 1st semester JAMES FOXLOW .4.dviser The B~ACON One of the foremost of Wilkes' institutions, the Beacon hit new heights in the past year. Its complete coverage, editorials, and features were never better. The editorship of the Beacon was split. In the Fall semester George Kabusk held the reins and in the Spring semester Chuck Gloman took charge. These two editors left little to be desired. To them must go most of the credit for reviving the Beacon and lifting it from the apathy that it had fallen in the last two years. It took only a few good issues to put the Beacon back in good graces. Readers of the Beacon found that Chuck Gloman lost none of his wit by moving into the editorship. His "Culture Corner" offered pure Gloman corn that satisfied everyone. Wilkes has truly been fortunate in having Chuck Gloman around for four years. Our excellent debating team received regular coverage, as did the campus political scene. Paul Beers' "The Varsity Limp" gave the high and the low and the Beersian view of the Colonel activities. Campus affairs received splendid advances, and the Cue 'n' Curtain was criticized and praised in true journalistic style. The Beacon readers were well pleased with their college newspaper. Its twentythree issues were something to be proud of. •! ~ t /' l f, 1 Manuscript was fortunate to receive reprint rights to three poems published by the National Poetry Association in its latest anthology of verse by college students. From the 1952 issue of N.P.A.'s "America Sings" were poems by Connie Smith, Wendell Clark and Dale Warmouth. Miss Smith's poem, "Can't Sit Still," was doubly honored as it had originally appeared in Manuscript before being accepted by the national group. WENDELL CLARK Editor-in-Chief The ever-growing exchange list placed copies of the magazine in the hands of various people in public life, as well as college libraries throughout the nation.

Forty-three �Student Council The Student Council, major student governing body, had an extremely active-and successful- year both in its legislative capacity and in its position in social activities. One of the most important accomplishments of the council was its success in reorganizing the budget set-up in such a manner that the student activities fund is divorced from the athletic fund. Much of the credit for this is deserved by Treasurer Henry Merolli. The 1952 Student Council established some valuable precedents in social activities. In November a Thanksgiving Dance was held for all local college students. Well-attended, this affair not only provided an enjoyable evening for all present, but did much to further good relations with the community and with other colleges. A second innovation was inviting the faculty to the Cinderella Ball, which contributed much to the occasion. The council was ably led by President Joe Reynolds. An interesting development this year was the augmented stature given to the position of Parliamentarian, due to the outstandingly competent manner in which it was filled by John Murtha. Economics The Economics Club has been an active part of Wilkes College for the past few years. JOSEPH L. REYNOLDS President Sylvester Kuligowski, Treasurer; George Lewis, Secretary; John Kirchman, President; James Richardson, Vice-Pres. The club serves three functions. It provides a social, educational, and recreational program. In its social role, the club invites all students to join and become acquainted with its members. In its educational role, the club arranges for prominent speakers from government, politics, and business; as well as interesting field trips to various manufacturing concerns. In its recreational capacity, the club conducts its annual spring outing, an event that is enjoyed equally by students and faculty. Many of the club's members are prominent campus leaders. Bert Stein, Henry Merolli and George Lewis were elected as "Leaders in American Colleges and Universities." DR. S.

The social activities of the Biology Club began with a hayride in September to welcome new members from the Freshman Class. In January the club members worked toward the success of the MedIRC-Chem Cabaret Party and in April the club biologists went to Washington, D. C. Such noteworthy speakers as Dr. A. Zuck, R. L. Coughlin, and Mr. Robert Moran addressed members of the club at several of their bi-monthly meetings. With the able assistance of Dr. Reif, adviser, the Biology Club has completed another season in a blaze of glory. The Wilkes College Chemical Society, under the leadership of Edward Hendricks, President, ably assisted by Paul Delmore, Vicepresiden;t; Arthur Taylor, Treasurer; and Carol Jones, Secretary, spent a very active and instructive year. Early in the t erm, the society sponsored a lecture by Dr. Forno££ of Lehigh University. The lect u r e was attended by members of the Intercollegiate Chemical Society of Northeastern Pennsylvania. In April, Paul Delmore and Edward Hendricks a ttended an American Chemical Society confer ence at Wayne University in Detroit. The third annual Regional Conference of the Intercollegiate Chemical Society sponsored by College Misericordia was the next affair attended by the Wilkes Society. The conference featured a lecture by Dr. F. 0. Rice of Catholic University on molecular fragments. Throughout the year many interesting science films were sponsored by the society. In May the society traveled to the Alcoa Extrusion P lant in Cressona, where they spent a very enjoyable day exploring the intricies of aluminum.

Charades Prominent among the cultural groups on the Wilkes campus, the Literary Society has had another eminently success£ ul year, during which time it did much to achieve its goal of " encouraging creative writing and interest in literary affairs on the part of W i 1 k es' students." The group operated under the , 1 capable and interested leadership of Mr. Joseph DonMR. JOSEPH DONNELLY nelly of the English DepartAdviser ment. Although handicapped at the beginning of the year by the fact that thirteen of its sixteen members had graduated the previous June, the group was soon brought to full strength by an influx of new members who, together with three veteran Literarians, Wendell Clark, Dale Warmouth, and Mike Lewis, proved that literary interest was as strong as ever at Wilkes. As in past years, the society pursued its goals through the medium of socialdiscussion meetings at which manuscripts brought in by members were criticized by the group. These discussion periods were always followed by a literary tea after which literary charades were played, thus making the Literary Society the only campus organization which holds all social meetings. At the conclusion of the year, Wendell Clark was chosen Honorary Chairman by the group because of his outstanding service to the society.

BAND ROBERT MORAN Director The Wilkes College Band members, individually and as a group, embrace two main objectives. First, the Band works toward providing a stimulating musical background for the football games. Second, the Band rehearses a great deal of the concert music written for band and presents results of their rehearsals at a concert given in the Spring. The latter objective is by far the most important, because it not only contributes to the cultural betterment of the band members, but also to the community which it serves. Every element of a community college must serve the locale in which it exists. The Wilkes College Band willingly accepted its challenge this year, when a near-capacity audience enjoyed marches, Latin American melodies, and a number of interpretations of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" that convulsed everyone. Plaudits are due Mr. Moran and his band for a job well done.

CHORAL CLUB JOHN DETROY Director During the year 1951-1952 the Choral Club held regular rehearsals and presented several programs. Just before Christmas vacation, the club performed for the student body at assembly. This program was made up of traditional Christmas carols and light, popular Christmas songs. A small group grew out of the Choral Club, the Madrigal Singers, that presented a program of madrigals of the 18th century at the December recital on the Town and Gown Series. This music is a very special type, very difficult to sing, but most interesting to listen to. The Choral Club joined with several other choral organizations to present the Consecration Scene from Verdi's opera, 'Aida'. This was performed with the Wyoming Valley Philharmonic Orchestra. It was a highly dramatic presentation, and brought the concert to a brilliant climax. With more rehearsal time and a larger membership in the future the Choral Club looks forward to better years to come. Fifty-three 'Twas The Night Before Christmas �l-larmoneers The Harmoneers is an old Wilkes organization, formerly operating under the name of Mud-Gutters. Known throughout the Valley for its ability to blend smooth tones and put across new and old songs in that genuine barber,, shop manner, the Harmoneers are a popular foursome at Wilkes. This year , they appeared at several assemblies, and at a number of local high schools. DEBATE ~---.--- ....

During the last three years Dr. Kruger's debaters have been one of the East's best, making them Wilkes' top team and a prize example of what Wilkes can produce. The team shone brightly in the Eastern Forensic Association , placing sixth among 27 colleges and universities. Only a sudden snowstorm stopped the boys from copping the Debating Tour- It is a fact known round the world that college men love to sing. A group of song-lovers, composed of Flip Jones, Jake Kovalchek, Bill Crowder, and Moe Batterson, decided to bring informal college music to Wilkes. The result was that the Collegians, an all-male chorus was formed, meeting three times weekly at Gies Hall. The Collegians sang in Assembly, in various high school gatherings, and all around the campus. Popular among their tunes was the novel "Johnny Schmoker." With Beth Badman accompanying, Bill Crowder conducting, and Flip Jones singing solo, the Collegians were something to be heard. That this is a new organization with a great future , is indicated by the award given it for the best student assembly. (Sitting) Bill Foote.

Fred, who loves to argue the negative, is almost unbeatable. He is Dr. Kruger's all-time all-timer, which is saying a lot as Dr. Kruger has produced some fine debaters in his coaching career. Newcomers James Neveras, Roxy Reynolds, and Doris Gates, plus experienced John Murtha rounded out the top team. Much credit for the club's success must go to Dr. Kruger. Known in college circles as an expert on the science of debating and training debaters, Dr. Kruger has devoted much time and effort to aiding Wilkes debaters. That the Colonels are something of a power even among the nation's biggest and oldest schools, is a source of joy to Dr. Kruger.

They' re at it all the time! Theta Delta Rho is beyond a doubt one of the most energetic organizations on the campus. Under the splendid leadership of Jane Salwoski, Theta Delta Rho helped in freshman orien- tation, gave its annual wiener roast, showed motion pictures, presented Arabella's College Daze, had an all-college tea, a lecture by a Conover model, gave its usual Christmas party for members, sponsored a sport dance, gave a number of card parties and high school teas, took its share in homecoming, and gave a Mother's Day Tea. The Club's Valentine Dance with music by Melton was better than ever, the proceeds going to a war orphan. Too much credit cannot be given to the girls of Theta Delta Rho.

Groh's thespians spoke their lines well, smiled and frowned, and in general entertained Wilkes no end. Several one-act plays and two major productions were presented during the year. A rollicking good comedy, Grnm9rcy Ghost, was the first big hit. Stars Sam Meline, Ed W allison, Peter Margo, and Bette Parra p layed their parts well. Eugene O'Neill's "Ah! Wilderness" was the second hit, and no dou ht among the best given by the Cue 'n' Curtain. Once again Peter Margo, Sam Meline, Ann Azat, and Ed Wallison starred. Club President Bert Stein, though, stole the show with his splendid portrayal of a drunken uncle. As a community project, "road shows" were put on before various organizations. A group attended the performance of "Faithfully Yours" at the Coronet Theater in New York.

CHRISTMAS FORMAL LETTERMEN Since its inception in 1946, the Lettermen's Club, one of the most powerful clubs on the campus, has aimed, in the spirit of fellowship, to promote the school in every way possible. Under the leadership of President George McMahon, the club ran its annual turkey raffle, the Christmas Formal, the famous Lettermen's Outing, and the April Showers Ball. Miss Marilyn Broadt was chosen the Colonel's Queen at the spring affair. The men with the big yellow W's on the field of blue sweater are one of the backbones of Wilkes.

Under the leadership of Captain Jerry Yakstis, the cheering squad tried to (and did) make things as uproarious as possible. Besides leading songs and cheers at the football and basketball games the cheerleaders staged enthusiastic pep rallies before each game.

The Frosh didn't take it sitting down , however, for revolts were many. Al Williams and Eva Ziomek managed to obtain a suspended sentence from the Tribunal, but Marge Luty paid for her crime of registering for boys' gym class by wearing the sign, "I am a girl?' ' Jim Jordan wore a ten gallon hat and earmuffs. Freshman play- An innovation in "Hizzoner" Wallace's court " Paul Splits the .Atom" was the personage of Dale Warmouth, unbiased, unprejudiced, and unbought witness for all cases. At the King's game the Frosh were victorious in the tug of war and thenceforth and fore vermore were free of their clinks. Occasionally, when the Frosh became too rambunctious a haircut was administered or a costume parade arranged. To help in getting adjusted, a " get acquainted dance" was arranged by the cheerleaders. For a number of weeks following their entrance, a Freshman Orientation program was carried on to help them in making a good adjustment. Faculty members and student leaders spoke on topics of interest and a student handbook was issued. This helped immeasurably in reducing confusion , but always a few Frosh could be counted on for violations, to the joy of the upperclassmen, who remembered only too vividly their first days at Wilkes. When the laughing was over, the Frosh had become a tight-knit class, ready to take their place in Wilkes society, and to do their bit in promoting the spirit of Wilkes.

A hot time was had in the torchlight parade before the game but a chilling feature was the 27-7 thumping administered by the Colonels' arch-foe, King's, at Meyers Stadium. In charge of the homecoming event was Ray Jacobs, class of 1950, whose arrangements went like clockwork, with the sole exception of judging decorations by clubs and dormitory residents. Rain played havoc with the displays, but on Saturday the trophy went to the girls of McClintock Hall.

A large crowd was there to partake of the square dancing, group singing, and comical entertainment provided by Roxy Reynolds, Helen Scherff, Bob Evans, Dave Parks, and the hill-billy singers of Wilkes. The imagination used by the planning committee was evident in the table settings of pumpkins and candles, the rustic stage decorations and the skits. A fine time was had by all, especially the Freshmen, who were further able to get acquainted with Wilkes' informal social life. Gloman's " College Daze" Hirko's monologue Novak tickles the ivories The Beacon Cabaret Party, held Friday, November 9, was a rip-roaring success. Editor - in - chief Chuck Gloman was the top clown of the evening. It was Chuck's fourth and final Cabaret Party and he never was wittier. The large crowd that gathered in the Admiral Stark Room of the Sterling Hotel found entertainers Joe Hirko, Howie Phillips, Gordon Young, Hank Novak, Jake Kovalchek, Carl Lahr, Dick Gribble, Lois Long, and George Kabusk just as £unpacked. Bob Bacon of WBRE was master of ceremonies, Melton and his combo supplied the music, and Kirby Walker, nationally famous entertainer supplied the songs. It was a great evening for fun, dancing, and relaxation. Marryin' Sam's Shack "The Lady in Red" Shotgun wedding A circle of friends Kirby plays "Heat!" Sixty-eight Sixty-nine �( .· .

Nevertheless, we consoled ourselves with ping-pong, shuffleboard, cards, and general relaxing. In the evening an orchestra arrived to supply the music for dancing.

Cards and kibitzing TOWN MEETING On the night of March 18 Wilkes College was privileged to present in its own Gymnasium the "Town Meeting of the Air." The question, "Should We Fear the New Germany?" was debated by Cecil Brown, world-famous radio commentator, and George Schuster, president of Hunter College. Dr. Decker, president of the University of Kansas was the moderator. A capacity crowd of 1400 was present to hear and participate in the interesting and important broadcast that was carried by 274 stations of the American Broadcasting Co. and the Voice of America to a world-wide audience.

Eleanor Gorney, a Nanticoke native, leaves the ivy halls this June when she'll graduate as a laboratory technician. Bette Parra of Wyoming, is a Freshman in Education and one of our peppiest cheerleaders, as well as a budding actress. Jeanne Smith of Kingston, will get her B.S. in Education this June after four years of participation in many campus activities and contests. Alice Green, a Freshman in Commerce and Finance calls McClintock Hall "home" while away from Audubon, New Jersey. MISS ELEANOR GORNEY MISS LOIS ANN SHAW Campus Beauty Queen Each year the staff of the Amnicola picks 21 candidates to compete for the crown of the Campus Queen. The task of judging any quality so relative as beauty must be a difficult one by its very nature. Every man has his own opinion and at times choosing a beauty queen can become very complicated. Ham Fisher, world-famous artist, creator of Joe Palooka, and native of Wilkes-Barre, was the man who was picked to make the decision. Judging our beauties was a delight, as Mr. Fisher expressed in a letter to the editor.

The lights, the effect, the stage, and the crowd were all tempered to the excitement. Miss Isabel Ecker, a pretty junior coed, beamingly appeared, Miss Cinderella of 1952. Held May 16 in the Gymnasium, the Cinderella Ball was once again the big social affair at Wilkes. As usual, a large crowd was on hand, this time swaying to the rhythm of Bill Theodore and his Orchestra. Those participating in the Cinderella contest were Ann Azat, Roberta Siwa, Jeanne Smith, Lois Shaw, Peggy Williams, Beverly Patterson, Marianne Hofman, Lucille Reese, Carol Reynar, and Alice Green.

Speakers included Mr. H. Thomas Hallowell of Standard Pressed Steel, who discussed what industry expects of the college graduate. Mr. Allen W. Rowe of General Electric discussed the effective interview, and Mr. Marvin Langley of Corning Glass spoke on the strategy of job finding. In addition a number of speakers talked to nursing, accounting, secretarial, music, psychology, education, and social science students to give them a greater insight into the opportunities of their selected fields. \ - ~i\\ . , ◊\·\\\\\\\~ Psychology discussion by Mrs. Riley ; l .--- 1(.)\\.~ \; ~\~ \\.l\) SPORTS Opportunities unlimited in business, industry, and education �SOCCER Clutter of Colonels (First row) Roxy Reynolds, Dick Polakowski, Bill Clausen, Jim Hartman, Ben Lukas, Charlie Thomas.

(Third row) Getting "that first win" has become an obsession with the soccer team. Once again, the third straight season of soccer at Wilkes, Partridge's men have come close, but not quite close enough. The 1951 record: 0 wins, 7 losses. The Elizabethtown game saw the Colonels nearly grasp that one high1y-desired victory. The week before down in Elizabethtown the boys had lost a tough one in the closing two minutes, 2-1. Now at home they had built up a comfortable 4-2 lead with only fifteen minutes left to play. Within those short ticking minutes Elizabethtown exploded, stealing a 5-4 victory right out of the Colonels' hands. It was a three-year heart breaker. ROBERT W. PARTRIDGE Coach The Colonels suffered one big loss when its superb goalie, Parker Petrilak, was recalled into the service. Luckily, he was ably replaced by rookie Jim Moss. Other rookies who made good were Bill Clausen, Jim Hartman, Dick Polakowski, and Moe Batterson. Partridge is looking ahead to the 1952 season. Back again will be his two four-year starters, Cled Rowlands and Paul Beers. Outstanding backfield men, Flip Jones, Bill Mergo, and Preston Eckmeder, ought to make the club rough defensively. Ex-Marine Don Tosh should give the hooters a charging and scoring line.

(1st row) FOOTBALL 1951 was Wilkes College's first "losing year." A record of only one win against five losses was registered, including the first defeat ever handed the Colonels by their Valley rival, King's. GEORGE RALSTON Coach It may not have been a pleasant year on the gridiron, but elsewhere everything was wonderful. Losing or not, the football team was such a fighting, spirited, and exciting one that it generated a school spirit not seen even in those glorious days . when the Colonels smothered opponents. A large school crowd followed the Colonels and talked about the Colonels. The defeats hurt, especially the 27-7 one given us by King's, the one triumph was glorious, but all the time that good Wilkes atmosphere remained, confuting the theory that a school must have a good football team. The Colonels worked against odds from the start. George Ralston had few veterans on hand, important openings to fill, and a small squad, numerically and physically, to work with. Coach Ralston can be congratulated for his splendid work for the Colonels were game all season, even when they were far outclassed. Wilkes opened the season by bowing to a tough St. Francis team, 12-7. A little luck here and there and the Colonels might have dumped the Frankies. Ithaca took us in the next game on a recovered fumble, 6-0. The Colonels had dropped thefr second game by a shade. GEORGE McMAHON AND HAROLD JENKINS AL MOLOSH AND LOUIS STECK Managers Co-captains The third game was with Bridgeport University and the Colonels laid it on. Running, passing, and tackling as of old, Ralston's men gained themselves an easy 25-7 victory. The one sad feature of the tussle was the injury of the superb running back, Al Nicholas. With Nicholas forced to ride the bench most of the time, the Colonels dropped their next two engagements, 27-7 to Bloomsburg and 26-7 to Maryland State. After five years it happened. Never beaten by King 's yet, the Colonels were forced to see their royal streak shattered at Meyers Stadium on the night of November 17. An ambitious, smooth - operating Mon arch team trimmed Ralston's gridders, 27-7. The Colonels tried every minute, but they were far outclassed. The only Colonel tally came in the third quarter, when Ralston's great c;nd for four years, Al Molash, took Nicholas' flat pass and galloped over the goal line. Jenkins' pet whirlpool Taking it on the chest Eighty-six Eighty-seven �We crashed through the center ... At the season's end the annual Athletic Banquet was held in the Wilkes Cafeteria. Coach Ralston got up and thanked his boys for the splendid effort and cooperation which they had given him. "In doing so," Ralston stated, "even though we did not have a successful football season this year, my boys worked harder than any other football squad in the history of Wilkes." That was high praise. High praise was also given to Co-Captain Al Molosh, the Big Mo from Brooklyn. Molosh received the Outstanding Lineman of the Year Trophy, the Joseph Gallagher Memorial Trophy, given to the athlete deemed worthiest by his own teammates, and the Howard W. Davis Memorial Trophy for achievement in athletics, sportsmanship, leadership, and scholarship. Mo became the first man in Wilkes history to win the Davis Trophy twice. Blocking back George Elias won the Backfield Man of the Year Trophy. The advance notices for 1952 are even less encouraging than the 1951 results. Molosh has graduated. Twinkletoes Al Nicholas, acclaimed as one of the greatest backfield men ever seen in operation in Wyoming Valley, was called into the Marines soon after the 1951 season closed. The squad is again small. But when the Blue and Gold dash out onto the field and the band plays and the cheerleaders holler and everybody stands up and sings, the score ceases to count. The game of football has then con tri bu ted its share to a student's college education.

WRESTLING CHARLIE THOMAS Captain The departure of many fine grapplers left this year's wrestling team in quite a pinch. It struggled and worked hard, but lack of experience in the upper weights was too much of a load to carry, and it sunk to a low record of 3 wins, 1 tie, and 6 losses. Against the competition that the team was forced to buck, this record is as outstanding as last year's 6-2 won-and-lost figure. A run - down on the record shows that the Co!onels lost some mighty tough ones. They dropped the opener to Cortland, 18-17. Wyoming Seminary got an 18-14 win from them. The others weren't so close, like the 31-3 loss to Millersville, the 24-8 loss to Lock Haven, the 28-8 trouncing by Ithaca, and the 24-6 loss to West Chester. Coach Laggan and his men weren't getting beaten by novices, but by some of the best wrestlers in the East. The victories that the Colonels got were decisive and wholesome. The boys beat Swarthmore, 24-10; East Stroudsburg, 313; and in that big one, King's, they groaned delightfully, 24-8. An 18-18 tie was registered with Lafayette. Captain Charlie puts one over Individually, the biggest surprise that the grapplers got was in the 123 lb. form of Freshman Bobby Reynolds. Bouncer Bob won 6, tied 1, and lost only 2. The rookie worked two pins and twice won by forfeits. Over the season, he was worth 20 points to the team. Three more years of Bob should be worth a gold mine to Coach Laggan. Another rookie looking great was Jim Ward in the 130 lb. class. Ward won 7 and lost 3. One of his triumphs was a thrilling decision bout over Martin Mooney of Wyoming Seminary. A third Freshman, Joe Yanovitch, held the 157 lb. class in fine style, compiling a 6-4 record. Joe won the fans with his old-fashion muscle fighting. Incidentally, only the Freshmen on the team were able to come above the 50-50 mark. Captain Charlie Thomas, an old campaigner from way-back, just hit that with 5 wins and 5 losses. Joe in a pretzel Fay gets ready Ward holds Sem's Mooney Ninety Ninety-one �( I \ ' 0 GEORGE RALSTON Coach Airborne Bobby Back next season will be a multitude of fine ballplayers. Classy Eddie Davis will try to improve on his 14.4 average. Marsh Karesky and Jimmy Atherton will be back sharpshooting. Defense stars, John Milliman and Joe Sikora, should add much. Up-andcoming Harry Davenport, Jim Moss, Al Goldman, and Joe W engyn will fill out the squad. It should be one of Wilkes' better teams. Marsh has a go at it (1st row) Hank Novak, Marsh Karesky, Joe Sikora, Larry Praeger, Bobby Benson, Jim White, Harry D:wenport, Len Batroney, Bernie Wisniewski.

BASKETBALL After those years of average basketball teams, it was a wonderful change to get a club with something more on the ball than just a bounce. The 1951-52 outfit was a delightful surprise to everybody. Its 9 wins and 14 losses gave hope of even better things to come. Unusual enough, though, was the fact that whereas the average basketball teams had always managed to somehow split with King's in the annual two-game series, this veryimproved team dropped both tussles. The last one was a thriller of the old school. King's sneaked through 75-72, just short of getting beaten by a garrison-finishing Colonel team. Much of the year's headlines was stolen by the team's sophomore sensation, Len Batroney. Dashing Lenny broke Phil Serkerchak's one-season record of 353 points wide open by tallying 439 counters. He did it on two more record breakers, 148 field goals and 143 fouls. Len averaged an amazing 19.09 points per game. BOBBY BENSON Captain The team itself set a school record by averaging 65.8 points per game. Captain Bobby Benson, a senior and finishing up his third season, established the all-time scoring record at 783 points. Bobby will be the only member not back next season. His loss will cut deeply. Wilkes has had few finer athletes.

Under Mrs. Bubeck's careful coaching, the women usually manage to turn out a very good game. Having plenty of fun and keeping trim besides, the women are all for women's sports at Wilkes. So are the men. This year the gals beat the J. C. C. team but lost to the Keystone Junior College, and Misericordia basketballers. In addition, they put up a gallant fight against the marauding Faculty Women team but went down to hilarious if not bitter defeat.

It was occasionally able to batter down an opponent, but most of the time it vvas forced to be on the low end of the score. The team wasn't a bad one and it did hustle, but it lacked the necessary experience to win in college baseball. The pitching staff was strong, but often it found itself without adequate fielding support. John Milliman, Joe Sikora, and Moe Batterson had a lot on the ball. Sophomore Joe W engyn was an able catcher. The infield looked good. Marsh Karesky at first, Lenny Batroney at second, Captain Joe Kropniewnicki at short stop, and Eddie Davis at third gave the Colonels a rough infield. The outfield was unsteady all season. Jim Moss, Chuck Anderson, Joe Trosky, Walt Chapko, and Norm Gates handled most of the fly-chasing duties, and their experience this year is sure to produce results next year.

Sordoni 6 �TO THE CLASS OF 1953 As you leave the associat10ns and friendships of Wilkes College, I find myself hoping that I may be with you at your twenty-fifth reunion. I would join you then not only to continue an association that I hope may grow warmer with the passing of years, but to see what you have done with a quarter of a century and to observe what quarter of a century has done to you. This next quarter-century will not be easy, for the values most cherished by free men are under attack in all parts of the world, and we have no reason to expect that these attacks will cease. We must prepare ourselves therefore to face the uncertainties that lie ahead by making sure of our own values. If we possess sufficient faith in our ideals, our neighbors, and ourselves, we can face the future with hope and equanimity. We have received a goodly heritage that is based upon freedom, regard for one's neighbors, and the conviction that man's future rests at least in part with him. If we possess sufficient faith in the ideals that have been passed on to us we will gain that "inner strength" that comes only to those who are committed to a cause that is greater than self.

Wilkes' rapid rise to a place of prominence among the nation's c.olleges and universities is in no little part the result of their earnest efforts. They have helped mold the high standards, the expanding curriculum, and the varied activities of the college. Theirs is the responsibility of planning a wellrounded education for Wilkes students. They have given Wilkes a cosmopolitan viewpoint, which comes from a wealth of specialized training and experience, as well as from studying, traveling, and teaching the world over. CATHAL B.

The !act Lhat Wilkes College is rated highly as an educational institution in turn speaks highly of its faculty. True, our instructors are here to teach us, but they give much more than instruction to the student body of Wilkes; they give us values to live by, leadership to follow, and friendship to remember. Not only do our teachers play a part m our scholastic life, but they also support our social ventures with regularity and enthusiasm. This interest in more than the academic aspects of college has done much to promote a congenial atmosphere and a healthy school spirit. Tl the litt '\t\Te are truly fortunate in having a faculty which has been selected for their knowledge, their breadth of experience, and their understanding of students' problems. 14 advant. our le, campu CLARE BEDILLION Secretarial Studies CATHERINE H.

By the time we were Sophomores we had begun to feel that we were part of Wilkes and by then Wilkes had become a vital part of our lives. In our Junior year, we became more thoughtful and worked harder than ever, academically and socially. The affairs we sponsored were successful, especially the party given in honor of the members of the class of 1952, who had guided us and who had become our friends. And now as Seniors, we have grown up; we face reality; we contemplate the possibilities of the future; we are men and women, ready to take our places in life. 20 David Samuel DAVIS �of one o were ANDES Paul Joseph ARTHUR Elizabeth A.

Roland FEATHERMAN JAMES NEVERAS President DAVID KUNKLE Vice-Presiden t NAOMI KIVLER Secretary RALPH ZEZZA Treasurer The sophomores became known as one of the most active classes in the school's history by sponsoring a diversified prog-ram of student activities, varying from semi-formal dances to some "low-down" jazz hops for which real live musicians were brought in to give the spacious Wilkes gym the aspects of a David ROATS secluded den in Greenwich Village. Although the number of class members has decreased, what with Uncle Sam and other factors better left unmentioned, the spirit of the class and plans for future activities have increased. In a time when Wilkes shows a definite need for school spirit, the sophomores, under exceptional leadersh ip, have taken a step in the right direction.

Only the successful blocking of a Trenton Cield goal altempt by the Wilkes defensive line prevented an upset. The game ended a 7-7 tie. Wilkes started moving early and scored in the first period on a five -yard end sweep by Veroski. Gross made the extra point, and it looked like a good day for Ralston's boys. However, the Trenton team held on after that and even started to make a slight comeback as the half ended with Wilkes ahead. In the second half the Trenton Teachers· struck swiftly and evened the score 7-7. Wilkes fumbled the kickoff and Trenton recovered, forcing the Colonels to make a stand with their backs to the goal. The defensive Learn held, and after a seesaw third and fourth quarter, it shone again as it blocked the Trenton Teachers' field goal attempt. The Wilkes offensive was poor because the passing attack was not clicking and several imerceptions stopped the Colonels cold.

The Greyhounds of Moravian were no match for the Colonels and scored only once to go down 15-6. However, the game was marred by fumbles on both sides. The teams appeared evenly matched through the first quarter and into the second, but the Colonels started a drive, only to have it fizzle out within the live-yard line. The Greyhounds took over on the four-yard line and attempted to punt out of danger, but the Colonels' line broke through to block it and give Wilkes a 2-0 lead that held at half time. ln the third period things moved fast as Ralston's boys cashed in on a Moravian fumble and moved ahead 8-0 with Davis going over from the oneyard line. The game seesawed after that unti l the fourth quarter when Veroski traveled 34 yiards to put the Blue and Gold in scoring position. Then came a lucky break. The Greyhounds intercepted a pass in the end zone, ran it out to the two-yard line where they fumbled and Wilkes recovered. Davis plunged over for the score and Gross' extra point made it 15-0.

Then came the even more sta1 tling second half when the Red and Cold sewed up the game as the Wilkes cldcnse literally disintegrated. How the same teams played both halves is a mystery because each showed a complete reversal of form during the second half. This game handed the Colonels their worst defeat ever by the Monarchs. The game opened with the Blue and Cold showing fine form as they mol'cd right down the field to a 7-0 lead with Veroski scoring on an endsweep.

BASKETBALL With the addition of several very promising former school-boy stars and all the returning court veterans, Coach George Ralston and newly appointed assistant mentor Bill Mock guided one of the strongest teams that Wilkes has had in quite a while. Joe Sikora gave the Colonels extra height and experience and on a whole, Wilkes was represented by a taller team than any that can be remembered. Still, they lacked the really tall man which is so necessary in this age of "basketball giants." Nevertheless, the Blue and Gold quintet turned in a fine season, especially when one considers the caliber of opponents that it encountered. Although in almost every game the Colonels were overshadowed by much bigger opponents, seldom were they outplayed. Oldtimers like Jimmy Atherton, Lenny Batroney, Eddie Davis, Bob Heltzel, Marsh Karesky, Jim Moss, John Milliman, Joe Sikora, and Joe Wengyn combined with newcomers to the Wilkes Court scene, Norm Gates, Jim Ferris, Frank Kopicki, Chuck White, Joe Popple, Joe Jablonski, Bruce Williams, and Ed Troutman, to give the college's basketball lovers a really exciting season. The fine crop of young talent on hand, should provide Wilkes with good basketball teams for at least several seasons to come. Coach George Ralston Assistant Coach William Mock �Flying high n, T.

Preparation of the material, which included illustrations for the fiist time in several numbers, gave the editorial staff its share of headaches and bad moments before the copy finally went to the printer. It was a training in patience, astute judgment and use of the blue pencil which would stand staffers in good stead as future editors, or even as teachers.

With Roxy Reynolds - a forceful Ii ttle guy who likes lots of action - at the reins, the student-governing body has accomplished something that few preceding councils have achieved; the council successfully balanced the Activities Budget in one meeting, even though the activities fund was greatly reduced over previous years. In addition to solving the financial problem, the Student Council has succeeded in augmenting the Wilkes social life by sponsoring sport dances after week-end basketball games and by continuing the precedent of holding the Thanksgiving Dance, the Winter Carnival, and the Cinderella Ball. Mr. Partridge, the Council's liaison to the Administration, deserves special praise for the guidance he has given the council. It is through his efforts that the Student Council and the Administration have come to work together harmoniously. President Reynolds expounds . . . .

Comprised of eleven members, the band was, in the words of Mr. Moran, "small but noisey." In these few short years the band has grown in number and matured musically. Forty-four musicians are now numbered in its ranks and the organization has proved its worth by the fine job it has done throughout the year at athletic events and concerts. MR. ROBERT E.

Local audiences took to their musical innova tions and they were in demand iat school dances and assemblies, and many organization meetings in Wyoming Valley throughout the year.

For its other activities the Chemistry Club sponsored a square dance, co-sponsored a cabaret party, held its own Christmas party, joined with other colleges in this area in sponsoring various lectures, and did very well in intramural bowling, basketball, touch-football, and baseball.

Under the leadership of John Luckiewicz, the IRC carried out its most active program to date. The club sent delegates to the executive committee meeting of the Pennsylvania Association of IRC and to a panel sponsored by the Middle Atlantic Association on IRC on the aid to Europe, both held in Philadelphia. Representing Paraguay, the club attended a model UN Assembly at Cornell. Throughout the year, various regional meetings of the Intercollegiate Conference on Government were held, culminating in the state conference on ICG at Harrisburg. By participating in these conferences the students learned about governmental problems, parliamentary procedure, and world af. fairs. The IRC was a co-sponsor of the Med-Ir-Chem Cabaret Party, presented Salom Rizk at a student assembly, and was instrumental in the success of the WSSF. The Highlight of the IRC activities was the PAIRC conference held on campus in February. Ted Krohn, state president of IRC, was primarily responsible for the program's success. Centered on the Near East, the conference featured a representative from the Egyptian Embassy and a prominent Israeli, whose authoritative views offered much for the delegates to think about. ~ prom succe and i inter where the ~ (1st Row) - W.

Perhaps the most profitable and interesting trip was the flighi to La Guardia and ldlewild Airports in New York where the embryo financiers examined the facilities and the financial system of the American Airlines.

I regret that there can be only one first prize, l>ut since such things must be, I have indicated my choice. The winner appears to be a person of outstanding beauty, although the calibre of the other contestants, all of whom I thought charming, was also high."

The story of Wilkes College cannot be recorded in bricks and mortar, financial records, nor in statistics of growth and achievement. The story of your college is the story of an idea changed into a reality. Later, in 1934, building at 29 West to serve 200 student ated from the Junior ( In 1933, the idea of a local college was first conceived. Without seeking local support, representatives of Bucknell University at Lewisburg were persuaded to establish a junior college in Wilkes-Barre. In this new venture, as in all new ventures, the motives that led to action were mixed. During a period of falling enrollments a junior college in Wilkes-Barre would increase the enrollments in the junior and senior years at Lewisburg. At the same time the young people of Wyoming Valley were caught in the declining economy of the coal region, and without a local college many of the best students would be denied the opportunity of a higher education. To maintain the position of the University and at the same time to provide new opportunities for a neglected area, a new college was created. The motivating forces combined the practical with the ideal. The authorities at Lewisburg sought to strengthen their own position by rendering a service to the young people of Wyoming Valley. The opening of as an opportunity fa demonstrated their s leaders stepped forw imbued with faith in 1 tunity by expanding So it happened that in 1933 Bucknell University established its Junior College on the third floor of the building at 39 West Northampton Street. Classes started in September. VORIS B. HALL Head of Engineering Department ELWOOD J. DISQUE Head of Language Department These two instructors have witnessed the .growth of Wilkes College.

The opening of the College was seized by students as an opportunity for self-improvement, and as students demonstrated their sincerity and appreciation community leaders stepped forward to offer a hand. Men and women, imbued with faith in young people, broadened this opportunity by expanding the college. In 1937, Admiral and Mrs. Harold R. Stark and Mrs. John Conyngham donated Chase and Conyngham Halls; and in 1938 a small group of friends gave $28,000 to finance the adaptation of Chase and Conyngham Halls to college requirements. Also in 1938, Weckesser Hall was presented to the College by Mr. and Mrs. Frederick J. Weckesser. Hollenback Hall, the latest addition to our expanding campus, 1953. The first contributions to a scholarship fund were made by a small group of friends in 1939. These were enlarged by interested friends in 1942. In 1941, Mr. Allan Kirby gave the former residence of his father for use as a library and arts building. A small group of friends joined Mr. Kirby to provide funds for alterations and endowment. The college also received $25,000 from the estate of Daniel C. Roberts in 1941. Chase and Conyngham Halls were the first buildings on campus. They were a ~37. '2 1 5 �Then, in 1944, the Board of Trustees laid plans for the creation of a four-year college and raised $150,000 as the first step in creating the required endowment. The purchase of Isaac Barre, and Gies Halls was made in 1945 with funds contributed by three trustees. In 1946, the Board of Trustees with 1,200 friends of the College contributed $443,000 for endowment and expansion. In the same year Zebulon Butler Hall was purchased for the College and Ashley Hall was given by the heirs of the Ashley estate. Also in 1946, Bucknell University assisted the Junior College in meeting its obligations to veterans and the community by offering the last two years of College work in Wilkes Barre. A proud day as Wilkes College receives its charter in 1947. Wilkes College emerged from Bucknell University Junior College in 1947 and was chartered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to offer four-year courses. During that same year the parking lot on South Franklin Street was given by Andrew J. Sordoni and the site of the gymnasium was acquired. The year 1948 marked the completion of the lecture hall and the acquisition of Timothy Pickering Hall by purchase. In 1949, fourteen hundred friends of the College pledged $217,000 to assure the construction of a gymnasium. Also in 1949, Sterling Hall came to the College by bequest of Col. Walter Carl Sterling and the president's residence at 146 South River Street was given by a friend of the College. I,,,----=--"-During the war aviation students studied at Wilkes. In 1950, members of the third graduating class received the first Wilkes College diplomas (members of the first two classes received Bucknell University diplomas). The gymnasium was completed and ready for use when the college opened in September. McClintock, Sturdevant, and Hollenback halls were acquired by the College in the years 1951, '52, and '53 respectively. This brings us up to the present time. Only after the College was established did those responsible for its development fully recognize the great service that could be rendered to the community through a constructive program of higher education. Through their work they soon gained the realization that the future of the community rested in its people more than in its economic resources. They sensed that an intelligent, trained, and confident people could create a new future for this community which in those years of depression seemed to have no future. Early in its history it was sensed that the College was a part of the community team and must cooperate with Engrossed in their work, these students are sitting in what is now a lab in Conyngham Hall. 6 every individual an ferment.

In consequence of this realization, Wilkes College never has been and never will be a college apart from the community. It is bound into the community by its purpose, its sense of obligation, and its desire to be of service. It has been given support by the community and in turn it has offered its resources and given stimulus to the community. For some years it has been recognized that as the College prospers, the community will benefit, and as the community prospers, the College will benefit. The welfare of one affects the welfare of the other. A community that has not been accustomed to the advantges of a college is slow to sense the cultural and economic advantages that are offered by the presence of such an institution. Although slow to sense the value of the College, the leaders of this community gave increasingly generous support once they recognized the significance of munity.

The faculty of Bucknell U. Junior College go to a masquerade party. 7 ���Gilbert McClintock receives the charter that allowed the banner of B.U.J.C. to be removed from the podium. EUGENE SHEDDEN President Before the gym was built graduation was held in the lrem Temple Auditorium on North Franklin Street. This, too, was a feature of the college when the Air Force was stationed here during the war. 10 �EUGENE SHEDDEN FARLEY President We dedicate this book with sincere appreciation to the man who is the school, Dr. Eugene S. Farley. This man, above all others, has given us the right to an education by Wilkes College. His efforts and his driving force have made the school what it is today. Just eighteen short years ago, he was asked to become President of this institution. At that time it was still a one building affair and a part of Bucknell University. He recognized the community's need for a college of its own and in the past years he worked towards the achievement of that goal. He has his college now; the community's need is satisfied but new goals have taken the place of the need for a college. Now he concentrates on the enlargement of the school to a position that most people consider impossible. But they do not know Dr. Eugene Farley. In his orderly way, he progresses step by step. There is nothing left undone behind him. He cannot regress . . . he has insured himself and the school against failure through his untiring efforts and his devotion and firmness in his beliefs. Look to him, graduates. 11 �No college is truly effective as an educational institution unless it is properly administered. From inside Chase Hall the administration sends out policies which are to be followed during the course of the year. It is here that the official business of the College is conducted, and to the administration belongs a large part of the responsibility of maintaining a reputable college. GEORGE F. RALSTO Dean of Men As students of Wilkes College we have all had personal relationships with the Administration at one time or another. Their friendliness and efficient manner have been a great comfort to us. The President, the Registrar, the Guidance Director, the Comptroller, the Chief of Public Relations, the Deans, and the Director of Activities are always willing to help us solve our problems whatever they may be. JOHN P. WHITBY, M.S . Director of Admissions and Registrar Twenty years ago Bucknell University Junior College began here, that institution has since been replaced by Wilkes College. As a relatively young and struggling college we are fortunate indeed to have hard-working, sincere, responsible administrators working for the growth and improvement of Wilkes College.

The vital role of the department heads of the college cannot be overstressed, Wilkes' rapid rise to a place of prominence among the nation's colleges and universities is in no small part the result of their earnest efforts. Their sound judgment and foresight, coupled with their human understanding, are responsible for the high standards, the expanding curriculum, and the varied activities of the College. To aid them in their task, they bring with them a wealth of specialized training and experience, as well as study, travel, and teaching the world over, thus giving them the cosmopolitan viewpoint so essential to the well-rounded development of the students. It is they who guide the students and prepare them to take their place as good citizens in the world. Working together with the administration and the teachers they have the difficult task of keeping the educational program in tune with the times. It is essential that these mature educators understand fully both the needs and desires of the students. It is equally important that new courses be offered to the students and that new methods of teaching be introduced to keep pace with a rapidly improving educational world. This they have done for the benefit of the College and the community. Students enrolled in the various courses offered by the College find the subject matter very interesting when it is explained by the Department Chairman. Fortunately, the privilege is extended to all students attending Wilkes. As diversified as their interests may be, the Department Chairmen are manifestly interested in the welfare of the students and they succeed in communicating their enthusiasm for their subjects to the undergraduates and thereby enliven the College curricula.

They will often reflect smilingly on the fear that embraced them upon entering a classroom in their freshman year. They will remember, too, the warm smile, pleasant personalities, and inspiring character of the faculty members and who can forget the serious talks they had with their advisers and teachers when they were in need of advice, academic or otherwise? But the students will remember the faculty most for the efficient manner in which they conducted their classes and the knowledge which they successfully conveyed. So much depends on our teachers-our learning to think logically, to make sound judgments, to discover values by which to live. Better than any other single group they can demonstrate that studying and learning can be fun, and that knowledge is to be valued for its own sake. For that reason our faculty has been selected for their knowledge of the subjects they teach, the breadth of their experience, and the quality of their interest in students. Not only do our teachers play a part in our scholastic life, but they also support our social ventures with regularity and enthusiasm. This interest in more than the academic aspects of college has done much to promote a congenial atmosphere and a healthy school spirit. The unique personalities of many of our teachers has enriched our college days. They have left an indelible impression on our character, and we shall always remember them for their words of wisdom.

We feel that these seniors deserve special recognition for their efforts as prominent leaders during their four-year stay at Wilkes College. As active participants in extra-curricular activities these students have devoted a great deal of their time and talents to the improvement of the social life on the campus. These seniors were selected for their contributions to the college and the activities in which they participated, their ability to guide and get along with others, and their inspiring character. As leaders and responsible campus citizens, these students have left their mark in all phases of campus lifeathletics, scholarship, student government, music, drama, student publications, and departmental clubs. When these students take their place in the world, the knowledge, patience, perseverance, tolerance, and sense of responsibility which they have acquired during their four years at Wilkes College will prove to be a valuable asset in a world full of challenges and conflicting opportunities.

The alumni came back to Wilkes on Friday, October 13, and enjoyed a coffee hour that afternoon in McClintock Hall. On Friday evening they held a general business meeting in the cafeteria, and on Saturday they attended a buffet supper and party at the Kingston House after which they went to see the Wilkes-Hofstra football game. The alumni had a very busy weekend. There was fun for all as the students joined the celebration. The various clubs on campus welcomed the alumni with elaborate displays and decorations . The Chemistry and Engineering combined efforts to win the trophy awarded by the alumni. On Saturday evening the students formed a snake dance and moved over to Kingston where they enjoyed the Wilkes-Hofstra game.

(What fiends!) �In the fall of 1953, on the fourteenth of September, we, the freshmen, came together for the first time as an organization of Wilkes College. During the first three days at college we were entertained by various campus groups, and finally registered as the class of "57." As a class we were initiated into campus life during the "hazing period," conducted by the Student Council. It was during this period that we learned to act and plan as a group. We became acquainted with the upperclassmen as well as with each other. Although we didn't exactly enjoy initiation into Wilkes College at the time, we can now look back to it and laugh, knowing it was all for our own benefit. Natalie BARONE EDWARD LINKIEWICZ President Harold CIRKO The orientation program, under the direction of Dr. Neel, Dr. Mailey, and Mr. Warmouth, helped the class to make the necessary adjustments to college life. We became aware of our duties and responsibilities as a class, as individuals, and as future citizens. Since then the class of "57" has become an active part of Wilkes. They elected the following officers: President: Edward Linkiewicz Angela Vice-President: Patsy Reese CONSENTINO Secretary: Audrey Cragle Treasurer: John Jewelinski PATRICIA REESE Vice-President The officers met with the class advisors, Mr. Alfred Groh and Mr. Cromwell Thomas, and the Director of Student Activities, Mr. Robert Partridge to plan future activities. In the future we hope to be able to contribute a great deal as a class to Wilkes College, and to uphold its high standards. College life has just begun for us. Our future will be filled with hardships, bad luck, disappointments, and formidable challenges as well as moments of happiness, contentment and joy. May we take all in our stride and graduate as intelligent, responsible, and conscientious men and women. Audrey Cragle and Patsy Reese.

When a student first enrolls in Yv1lkes College he is given a library card which he is expected to and always does use during his stay at the College. Upon first entering the library, most students are amazed by the systematic efficiency with which it is run. Inside Kirby Hall can be found some of the greatest literary works of the age. Reference material, newspapers, magazines, and books pertaining to all imaginable subjects can be found on the shelves of the library. While it is far from easy to organize and maintain a library containing thousands of books, our library staff has done a fine job. With their pleasant, efficient manner, they have been a great help to the students of Wilkes. Without them many valuable hours would have been lost in futile attempts to find the proper material sought by students. To many a confused, bewildered student, the cheerful words of, "May I help you," as uttered by a member of the staff represent help when most needed.

The Frosh will not forget these six whose thumbs never turned up. ��A whirlwind election campaign which started the class of '56 on its sophomore year proved to everyone that the enthusiasm shown by them as freshmen had not diminished. The heated atmosphere at nomination time foretold the keen rivalry which was to come. Nominations completed, the candidates set out on a lively campaign and uncovered many stunts and slogans. Many unsuspecting passers-by were startled to hear music blaring from Butler Hall "broadcasting station "-music interspersed with campaign commercials and slogans such as: "Win with Cliff." The students were not too surprised to vote, however, for election day brought a remarkable turnout and the new officers chosen were: Andrew BAROVICH CLIFFORD BRAUTIGAN President Mollie BEARD President: Clifford Brautigan Vice-President: Jeanette Perrins Treasurer: Charles Acore Secretary: Joan Shoemaker JEANETTE PERRINS Vice-President This enthusiasm was carried over into student activities; the sophomore class sponsoring more than its share of dances. A Red Feather Dance was held to aid the Community Chest Drive, and Miriam Dearden was chosen queen. An outstanding example of community spirit, this affair was typical of the exciting year that followed. As sophomores, we feel that we have adequately fulfilled our social obligations. Our dances were well planned and the spirit with which our class worked as a unified body demonstrates what is yet to come. If that same spirit and determination stays with us for the next two years the class of '56 will leave Wilkes College with a sense of pride knowing they will long be remembered for their four years as an active, prosperous class.

With Gene Srudato as editor-in-chief and Jean Kravitz and Jack Curtis as associate editors, the Beacon began another year of reporting the school affairs to the student body and faculty. Gene had two goals when he took over the Beacon: to publish more issues than ever before, and to publish a larger paper of approximately six pages at various times throughout the year. Faced with a limited budget this seemed almost impossible. However, through his efforts Gene was fortunate to secure more advertising for the paper which supplied the needed revenue for his goals. For the past year the Beacon has covered quite adequately all events on campus ... dances, sporting events, class and club activities, assembly stories, elections, plays, and student council news. They also did a f1 ne job presenting student opinions through their Letters to the Editor section. The editors and staff of the Beacon certainly did themselves proud. Beacon's Beat. Eugene Scrudato Editor �With the arrival of spring, once again was heard the familiar hustle and bustle in the small Manuscript office on the second floor of Kirby Hall. The staff members were gathered in a serious discussion of good last minute material that had just been received. It was publication time and the printer's deadline was swiftly approaching. This was the picture found behind the scenes as the staffers busied themselves scrupulously scanning through a maze of last minute literary efforts to detect errors which might have been previously overlooked. Although handicapped at the beginning by the loss of several of the more experienced members, the Manuscript was augmented and strengthened by the addition of four new members, Lois Jones, Margaret Luty, J. Harold Flannery and Herbert Bynder. The newly reorganized staff comprised Sandy Furey, editor; Leo Kelly, associate editor; and Nancy Beam as assistant secretary. Sentiment and friendship are without ration among the closely knit staffers whose hearts and souls lie in their work . The activities of the Manuscript are assisted through the sage counsel of Dr. Mary Craig whose leadership and untiring cooperative efforts have continuously served as the guiding light for the Manuscript staff. It was the goal this year to make the magazine a combination of the best prose and poetry that was available on the campus, in order that a rich opportunity for creative writing in the attempt at the attainment of literary excellence could be had by the student body at Wilkes. Not only do the authors and contributors to the Wilkes College literary magazine receive recognition and praise here, but they also have satisfaction of knowing that their articles are being read on campuses throughout the country because the Manuscript is fortunate in maintaining an extensive exchange program with colleges in all parts of the nation.

The 1953-54 Student Council very efficiently carried out its obligations. Under the leadership of Wayne Madden, the council began the year by appropriating funds to the various organizations on the campus. With the budget approved by the administration, the social activities went into full swing. Working hand in hand with the administration, the Student Council, under the able guidance of Mr. Partridge, served the students well. As a responsible body they deserve a great deal of credit for supervising and co-ordinating other student organizations and activities. Miss Ann Azat . . .

Under the leadership of President Al Wallace the Lettermen's Club enjoyed another successful year as the outstanding service organization on the Wilkes campus. The club, which is composed of Wilkesmen who have earned "W's" in varsity sports, actively participated in the Community Chest Drive and the Red Cross Blood Drive and produced a clever display of the Flying Dutchman clipper ship for the homecoming display contest. It also held a raffle with the drawing at the Wilkes-Hofstra game. The highlight of the College's winter social season was the Christmas Formal, sponsored by the Letterl)'len. The gym was beautifully decorated and fun was had by all as they danced to the smooth music of Lee Vincent and his orchestra.

Once again they proved to be a part of one of the most energetic organizations on the campus. The traditional Valentine Dance, which was held on February 12, highlighted the girls' activities as the males on campus enjoyed an evening of dancing to the smooth music of Al Anderson and his orchestra at the expense of the women. The gym was beautifully decorated and the girls worked hard to make the affair a success. President Brown pouring.

Planning and ion was under direction : John Konsavage. The Wilkes College Debating Society was once again a top debating power in the East. In keeping with the tradition established in former years, the debaters gained recognition in the eastern part of the United States early in the season when they finished second in the N. Y. U. Hall of Fame Debating Tournament. Their reputation followed them throughout the rest of the season and they were recognized as the team to beat by many schools in later tournaments. The debaters and their fine coach, Dr. Kruger, are especially deserving of praise not only because they are the only campus group to compete with other schools on an intellectual level, but also because as a competitive group they have debated and beaten some of the finest schools in the country. "Little" Wilkes College's debating squad has defeated Harvard, Columbia, Navy, Penn, Penn State and other fine teams. ics field trip to Washington. Jim Neveras and Harold Flannery congratulate each other on a successful debate. Much of the credit for the success of this year's debating team belongs to Dr. Kruger who is a leading debate authority in the East.

The club presented numerous concerts on campus and before various high schools throughout Wyoming Valley. Their Christmas assembly program in conjunction with the band and Men's Chorus was one of the most delightful programs ever presented to the students. One of the reasons for the success of the choral group is that they offer a variety of songs that are pleasant to sing and hear. Mr. Detroy employs many of Fred Waring's arrangements for the group.

Anyone and everyone who appreciates good vocal music would enjoy the delightful arrangements of the Men's Chorus. Ably directed by Bill Crowder, the fine voices of these Wilkesmen were heard throughout the year as they appeared before numerous high school assemblies as well as our own students. Singing popular and semi-classical works, the male chorus was accompanied for the past two semesters by Ruth Remley and Dave Fischi on the piano.

Theatre represents a history of man's experience dramatized in terms of human emotion. The theatre is a meeting place for ideas that come alive on the stage when they are charged by the vitality of those responsible for a ploy's production. Cue and Curtain offers students opportunities in acting, playwriting, directing, and stagecraft to prepare them not so much for professional careers as to develop their ability for self-expression. Touring companies play before local high school student bodies and answer numerous invitations to appear before community clubs and organizations. Preview performances of major productions (at the gym) have been well attended by high school students and their coaches, as well as Little Theatre and college groups. Audiences have seen performances of Shakespeare, Moliere, O'Neill, Christopher Fry, and plays of American dramatists significant to their times. With a stirring production of Ibsen's The Master Builder presented in the fall, Cue and Curtain climaxed a season of exciting theatre, following last year's artistic and dramatic success of Philip Barry's Hotel Universe. The activity of Cue and Curtain gives evidence of the growth and maturity of the college.

The year began with the customary election of officers. Jim Neveras was chosen president; Dick Kleyps, vice-president; Ralph Zezza, treasurer; and Miriam Dearden, secretary. With the guidance of these leaders the Junior Class looked forward to a year of fortune. Dean ARVAN JAMES NEVERAS President The Junior Year was successful for the class of '55 not only as a unit, but also as individuals. As a class, the Juniors sponsored their annual Turkey Trot and the "Snow Flake Follies," two dances which emphasized the role of the Juniors in the social life of the college. The activities of the class culminated with the Junior-Senior Party, which was the Juniors' way of saying "farewell" to the departing seniors. As individuals, the part played by the members of the class in every phase of campus life was extremely significant. Sandy Furey became editor of the Manuscript, Naomi Kivler was elected vice-president of Theta Delta Rho, and Helen Koelsch, Pat Fitzgerald and Ellen Louise Wint continued their fine work on the cheerleading squad. Nick Flannery and Jim Neveras represented the class on Dr. Kruger's debating squad, while Art Hoover was once again a "big" man on campus, both in size and importance. Bill Crowder did a commendable job directing the Male Chorus, and Jack Curtis rose to prominence as a sportswriter. In the field of athletics, Ron Fitzgerald and Walt Chapko gained plenty of yardage for the Colonels on the gridiron. Bob Reynolds and Jerry Elias are to be cited for their proficiency in wrestling, and Dick Polakowski on being elected co-captain of next year's soccer team.

Picton and Pinkowski do a little vicarious living. The Colonels ended the gridiron season on the short end of an eight-game schedule with 3 wins and 5 losses this year. The outlook in pre-season workouts was optimistic and the spirit of the squad was high. The chief problem confronting Head Coach George Ralston and his assistants, Francis Pinkowski and Russ Picton, was the lack of depth and experience of the squad. If the key men were injured, there was no one with experience to take their place. We were only two deep in most positions. With this danger present, we met Bloomsburg State Teachers College for the season's opener. Coach George Ralston and Co-Captains Joe Trosko and Eddie Davis. The first half was a thriller with both teams managing to get six points. Ours came via the air lanes on a beautiful pass play from fullback Eddie Davis to left end Paul Gronka. In the third period with the score still tied 6-6, Wilkes lost its scoring punch when Davis had his previously broken leg reinjured and was sidelined for the season. We had no other experienced passer or quarterback. Spirits fell and Bloomsburg romped for three more T.D.'s to end the game, 27-6. Men rise to opportunities and so Howie Gross, a converted center, took over the passing chores as blocking back for the Colonels. "Hawkie" had no previous experience as a back or as a passer.

Gross came through in fine form with his passing as he hit Gronka again and again for long gains. The six pointer came on a 35yard pass into the end zone where the elusive Gronka stood all alone. The Colonels just couldn t put enough good plays together to score again. Our ground attack had no scoring threat for we had no break-away runner. The score was 15-6 when the final gun went off. 1 We had no break-away runner, that is, until the Ithaca game, when Andy Bresnay, a freshman speed merchant, came into his own on a brilliant 64-yard dash on the first play from scrimmage and again on a beautifully executed cut back on a weak side sweep when he raced 16 yards into the end zone without a man touching him. It was a perfect play with terrific blocking from the up-front men. Gross stood up under the pressure and threw for 125 yards and two touchdowns, one to the gluefingered Gronka and the other to right end Patrick Petrilak. Gross converted two of the four P.A.T. attempts. Ithaca scored on a long pass early in the first quarter to tie the score for a short time, but the Wilkesmen would not be denied that night. Final score, Wilkes 26, Ithaca 7. Now came the meat of the schedule . The high flying, Flying Dutchmen of Hofstra, with a squad of hand -picked men studded with Little All Americans were next. We were in good shape physically and mentally for this one and spirits were high since the Colonels had placed a solid win under their belts. , the gridders had a 6-0 lead 81 Just sittin' and waitin'. �Boxer Wright blocks for Gigi iElias. He is not impressed! But depth and experience will tell, and the Dutchmen really rambled. There were eleven touchdowns scored in this thrilling, high-scoring ball game, but two were called back on Hofstra. The fans loved it, and the Wilkesmen fought for the home crowd. The score at halftime was Hofstra, 20, Wilkes, 13. Hofstra's scores were on beautiful long runs and Wilkes' points were scored or set up on a Gross to Gronka combination. The clever faking Gronka got into the clear for one T. D., and again for a substantial gain to set up the second touchdown. Then Walt Chapko took a handoff from Little All-American fullback George Elias and boomed over on an off-tackle smash. Gross converted this one. In the third quarter Wilkes scored on pure power when Bresnay, Elias and Ronald Fitzgerald tore off pieces of yardage at a steady pace for 40 yards, capping it when Elias bulldozed over from the two. But the pace began to tell and injuries began to harass the Colonels. Bresnay, Gross, Joe Trosko and then Elias were injured and removed from the game. Our scoring punch was gone and Hofstra hit their stride, scoring 14 points in the second half. The final score was Hofstra 39, Wilkes 20. A sorely battered and bruised team turned out for practice the next Monday to prepare for the Trenton game. Most of our first backfield and a few key linemen were injured so that we had to reshuffle our lineup and count on the untried men to carry us through this one. They did. Particularly sharp were Arnie Nelson who looked like a pro with his calmness and passing, Vince Slavitsko, who was the field general and a constant running threat, and Norman Chanosky with his running and passing. The line play was superb and stopped Trenton cold. Touchdowns were scored by Slavitsko on a 35-yard run, Louis Chaump, tailback, and Fitzgerald, who scored two, one on a reverse and the other a pass from Chanosky. Chapko supplied the last six points on a sweep around end. Galloping Gaylord Fitzgerald kicked the lone extra point. Everyone played in this game as the untried men came through with Aying colors. All the injured men were in good shape for this tilt with Adelphia except fullback George Elias, who had a badly bruised bone in his knee. This is the game where Paul Gronka earned the right to be mentioned as a Little All-American. This game was all his. He provided both of the Colonel tallys, one on a touchdown pass from Gross Tait and Wright team up for a clobbering. 82 and the other on a fine Adelphi pass and raci n~ ning margin of the gam1 verted both P.A.T.'s.

Adelphi threatened in the final minutes on the Wilkes 20, but the Wilkes line, led by Joe Wilk rose to the occasion and threw the Adelphi ball carriers for two fifteen-yard losses and ended the threat. The Purple Knights of Bridgeport were next on the agenda and they boasted a fine passer and two fine ends. It was to be a passing duel between their ace passer and our Gross-to-Gronka -combination. That is what it turned out to be. Bridgeport recognized the threat and double teamed Gronka so he could not get down field and outfake their half-backs. Paul managed to break free and score a T.D. on a pass from Gross. Wilkes made their other T. D. via the air lanes with Nelson pitching and Right End Neil Dadurka catching. Fine running by Fitzgerald and Elias kept the game wide open but the Knights passer was "on" and the Colonels were outpassed to a 25-14 victory for Bridgeport. After a week's lay off, the team readied for their final tilt with Moravian College who boasted a good defensive team. It was a defensive ball game and evenly played during the first half. Early in the second quarter, Fitzgerald scored from the ten on a reverse after the team had worked the ball down from midfield, putting Wilkes ahead 6-0 at halftime. A halftime penalty for taking too much time put Wilkes in a hole that they never could get out of. The Moravian Greyhounds were held scoreless for three periods and then scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. A glimpse of next year's potentialities was shown when Norman Chanosky and Arnie Nelson teamed up on the passing to Fitzgerald and Dadurka and led the Colonels the length of the field to the Moravian twenty where the drive was halted. The final score was Moravian 14, Wilkes 6. All in all, it was a fair season and the one thing that has always been said about the Wilkes College football team was true again this year. They never quit. Although they were outmanned and outgunned in many games, they were there to the final gun and their opponents knew it. 83 Costly fumble at the Moravian game. Ready for the second half. Adelphi back going for long gain. �looks like a w hearsed ballet see Carl Van Dyke hea Ball to Ahmad Km The 1953 season is one that will never be forgotten as long as there is soccer at Wilkes College. Coach Bob Partridge's boaters, winless since the inception of the English uncle of American footballfour years straight and 28 games-got off to what promised and proved to be a great season in the first tilt. Partridge and the Co-Captains of his first winning team, Flip Jones and Bill Margo. The Blue and Gold soccermen eeked out a historic first win over Rider College on the New Jersey institution's field and from there went on to take another historic first-a winning season. Two who added a bit of foreign flavor and excellence to the game this year were Ahmad Kazimi and Koo Younsu. In fact, records were broken all season long. Fortified with an international trio consisting of Dean Arvan of Greece, Ahmad Kizimi of Trans-Jordan, and Koo Younsu of South Korea, the Partridgemen notched wins over Rider, 2-1; lock Haven, 6-1; Elizabethtown, 5-1; and Trenton Teachers, 4-0. Three losses were suffered, one each to Lafayette, 2-1; Elizabethtown, 5-1; and East Stroudsburg Teachers, 2-0. The final win over Trenton meant the winning season.

With almost the entire first string members being seniors who have played together for the past three years, prospects in pre-season round-ups looked mighty good for the Colonels. With some of the powerful colleges on the schedule the results will not be as good as the forecast would have us believe. Some of the really big powerhouses were Lafayette, Wagner, Bloomsburg, and Hofstra. At the end of the first semester the Colonels were nursing along an even record. It was expected that the vacation following finals would give the boys a chance to get rested and play a better game than they have thus far in the season. Under the guidance of Bill Mock the Colonels began the pre-season training until Head Coach George Ralston finished with his football chores. Mock last year guided the JV team to an unbeaten record. His efforts to repeat this feat were thwarted in the first game when his jay vees lost. Another coach has been added to the basketball team in the person of Frances Pinkowski. "Pinky" has had double duty this year for he also served out his initial year as assistant coach on the gridiron. One of the most interesting men to watch this year was Len Batroney. Since he set a new record last year for the most points a person has scored while on the team, every basket he made this year set a new total point record for the school. Part of Bart's secret to success is his average for the season which at the time of this writing was soaring above .500. That means he makes better than one out of every two attempts! 86 Petrilak going up for two. Jim Jones of Ithaca foils in �1ski, J. Sikora. (2nd row) F. Kopicki, snohon, George Rolston, Cooch.

The Colonel diamond crew, coached by Bob Partridge, battled its way to its best season since 1950, completing a rain-shortened schedule with a seven won and seven lost slate. In view of the many injuries which hit the team, the mark signified a moral victory. Marsh Karesky, slugging first baseman, Jim Moss, veteran outfielder, Eddie Davis, star second baseman, and Dick Kachinosky, a promising outfielder were out practically all season. Bloomsburg Huskie takes third. The big man on the club in '53 was Pitcher John Milliman, who right-handed his way to five victories, while losing three. Outstanding games saw him twirl 13 and 15 innings in the same week over two of the East's top collegiate nine, Cortland STC and Rider respectively. The big one, for the Wilkes-Scranton University trophy, was also a Milliman victory with a 3-0 shut out. Freshman Pitcher Mel McNew of Baltimore led the team in batting with a .387 mark. Mel worked in the outfield when he wasn't pitching. Wilkes captain and star catcher Joe Kropiewnicke was runner-up with a healthy .302 mark. Joe, the only member of the team to be lost by graduation, will be sorely missed next year. He holds the distinction of having been elected team leader two years straight. 90 If the team can brush off the old injury jinx, prospects for the 1954 season look good. (1st row) Mgr. D.

The group, which changed its name this year after it found that another group of male singers had already laid claim to the spelling "Harmoneers," is composed of Norm Chanosky, tenor; Jack Curtis, lead; Dick Gribble, baritone; and Carl Lahr, bass. Chanosky joined the group to fill the tenor vacancy left by the graduation of Jake Kovalchek last year. According to the group's local following, the old blend still remains. This year more than ever before, the Harmonaires drifted away from the old-time songs-or at least gave them a new twist-and delved into the realm of the popular and standard musical works to the delight of audiences in the area. Top to bottom: Carl Gribble, Jack Curtis, Chanosky. Lahr, Dick and Norm To be good any group must spend plenty of time in rehearsal. Here the Harmonaires go to work immediately following a campus appearance-just to make sure they iron out any mistakes. �Above: What could be more romantic than a sleigh ride in the Poconos?

A crowd of two hundred couples arrived at the dance in holiday spirits. The interior of the gym had been miraculously transformed into a bejeweled fairyland by Johnny Moore and his decorating team. The false ceiling of white crepe paper supported by glowing columns of light was accented by a myriad of tiny varicolored lights reflected from a revolving, mirrored chandelier. Another feature of the decorations was a walled medieval castle to the rear of the bandstand. As the Cinderella candidates passed before the footlights, they took their places near the towers of the castle so that the king of the land could choose the fairest. In keeping with the traditional tale, at the stroke of midnight Cinderella of 1953 was revealed. As the drawbridge was lowered Miss Ann Azat of Kingston was acclaimed by all. She was presented with the traditional bouquet of roses and the Cinderella glass slipper. Miss Ann Azat, Cinderella of 1953. This is truly one of the happiest moments of her life.

An annual project for T.D.R., the Valentine semi-formal occupies a special place on the social calendar. Held during the romantic Valentine season, the dance is considered one of the biggest social events of the school year. This year, as in previous years, the girls in the sorority did a fine job in offering an affair that will long be remembered by all who attended. Ably assisted by the Lettermen, the women of the College transformed the gymnasium into a magnificent ballroom echoing a hearts and flowers theme. The dance was well attended and everyone enjoyed dancing in the semi-darkness to the dreamy music of Al Anderson and his orchestra. The climax of the affair was reached at intermission when Miss Mary Tosline and Eugene Snee were crowned Queen and King of Hearts. Nancy Batcheler, last year's queen, did the honors.

The festive dancers whirled to the sweet strains of Lee Vincent's orchestra. A rippling ceiling of blue and gold streamers resembling raindrops covered the dance floor, and a shower-spattered backdrop completed the decorations. Tiny umbrellas strewn on the candle-lit tables were to become tangible reminders of a shimmering evening. The selection of Pat Fitzgerald, a petite and smiling sophomore, as the Colonel's Queen was the high spot of the evening. Mr. George Ralston, adviser of the Lettermen's Club, introduced Miss Fitzgerald and presented her with a lovely wristwatch-the traditional gift to the Colonel's Queen.

All had a common interest in mind; that of gaining an education. Now, eight memorable semesters later we feel this goal has been achieved, but we also feel that much more has been accomplished. No longer are we a group of individuals, but rather a close-knit class that has learned through cooperation to solve our own problems, share our thoughts, and to look with interest to the future. Cohesiveness could be seen developing early in our college life. It was the Class of '54 which staged the famous Freshmen Revolt against hazing regulations. This feeling of "oneness" continued to grow throughout our sophomore and junior years until in our senior year it reached its climax. Our final year at Wilkes has been marked with many unforgettable events. In December 1953, "Operation Good Time," our first social event of the year was met with enthusiastic support by the student body and well earned its title. In March came the "Senior Spectacle," an evening of entertainment by the seniors and members of the faculty. The affair filled the gym with laughter and was deemed a huge success. In May the Senior Class was honored by the Class of 1955 with the annual Junior-Senior Dinner-Dance. This affair showed that our last year was coming to a close. The Senior Dinner-Dance, attended by faculty members and seniors, was the affair that will probably be best remembered by all of us. It was a gala evening touched with occasional thoughts of the farewell that must come. With our college days behind us, we are now faced with the problems of the future. For some this will mean graduate study, for others it will mean finding a suitable occupation, and for some of the men it will mean a few months with Uncle Sam. Whatever road we may travel, we feel sure that our success will be the result of the teaching and guidance we received at Wilkes College. As we turn to take our farewell glimpse of college life one thought is prominent in our minds, "Thank you Wilkes, for everything . . . " Richard Hawk, President. 112 RICHARD H. HAWK CHARLES F.

Yes, after four years of school, after texts. and theories, bull-sessions and books: what next? Where to find the job which will be good enough for a life-time? Out of all the phases of American life, which is the right one for me? Where can I find this blend of ingredients: freedom to express thoughts and ideas; a chance to learn and grow; an opportunity to work with people in a vital, ever-changing basic industry? LOOK TO RETAILING . . . LOOK TO DEPARTMENT STORES! Giants of modern distribution, they serve their communities diligently, tirelessly, efficiently. Proud products of the American System, they believe that profits are created through service and that community service is the result of the activities of many people, working together, thinking together, building together. POMEROY'S is such a department store. Our training program could be the first step to a great career for you. If you would like to work with people who believe in their future, in the future of Wyoming Valley and in the future of their country . . • if you are willing to learn . • . if you have an open mind and are willing to think for yourself . . . if you recognize the need of a good day's work for a good day's, pay . • • then we think you would like to talk to us at POMEROY'S * Pomeroy's, a Wyoming Valley Institution since 1860 is a Member of the World's Greatest Department Store Family. Among Pomeroy's affiliates are such fine stores as Jordan Marsh (Boston), Bon Marc'he (Seattle), Gertz (Jamaica, Long Island), Stern's (New York City), Joske's of Texas (San Antonio and Huston), Donaldson's (Minneapolis) and over 70 other st,o res from coast to coast. 126 Buildin~ �)MEN Architects and Engineers istion: what next? ,ooks: what next?

As Americans, we have, heretofore, taken freedom for granted and have considered it a natural right. Slowly, and painfully, we are learning that freedom can be enjoyed only by those who cherish it and are willing to maintain it even though the cost be great. Perhaps we have failed to recognize the real meaning of freedom. We have thought that a man was free if he was not a slave, but we are slowly learning that freedom of the mind and spirit must be destroyed before men can be enslaved. And, we are also learning that even among free men fear and distrust can destroy the atmosphere in which men think and speak freely because of confidence in one another. In these days of international stress and internal doubt, I hope you may think clearly and act courageously so that you may play a constructive part in the great struggle to maintain freedom-freedom which is so new to this world and is enjoyed by so few. If each of you will cultivate some bit of understanding and good will, will constantly seek for truth and will maintain the spirit of inquiry and sound judgment, and will ever defend man's right to seek new knowledge, you will in a greater or lesser degree become leader in the struggle for freedom. Our years of association have meant much to me and my only regret is that I have not come to know all of you as I have come to know a few of your classmates. As we reach the end of these fruitful years I wish you happiness and success, but beyond either happiness or success I hope you may recognize and accept the many challenges to our free way of life. As we finish another year of college life, we stop for a moment and reflect on "Les Beaux Jours"-The Happy- Days-behind us. For the undergraduates, this means another step completed in their preparation for the future, bringing them a little closer to the life and job for which they are preparing For the Seniors, this means the preparation has ended. They are ready to take their places in life, bringing with them the knowledge and experience they have gained in the last four years. It is the Seniors-the graduating class of 1955-to whom this Amnicola truly belongs. To them, the 1955 AMNICOLA is more than a memento of their last year at coilege. It reflects the culmination of four hard years of work and study-climaxed by the last happy day-Graduation. Yet the 1955 AMNICOLA is not meant to be exclusively the Seniors' yearbook. It is for the Classes of '56, '57, and '58, as well as being a valuable document in the history of Wilkes College. Within these covers we have tried to capture the representative character of life at Wilkes-the sports scenes, faculty and student candids, the ordinary and special fragments of this school year. We have made a sincere effort to portray the real spirit of Wilkes within these pages. To do this, we have stressed the affiliation between the academic and the social aspects of the college-as shown by the close bond between departments and affiliated groups. No portion of the Wilkes College scene is neglected here-academic scenes, social highlights, extracurricular activities, and moments between classes-are all caught in photographs, through which you may remember and relive those moments. Here, then, is your AMNICOLA, to help you, in the years ahead, to remember and live again your days at Wilkes. �CONTENTS • i I �DOCTOR MARYE. CRAIG Doctor Mary E. Craig is an Ohioan by birth and a Scot by descent. She studied at Cornell University, where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, and later at the University of Chicago, where she received a Master of Arts. Dr. Craig then obtained her Doctorate in English at Cornell. Since receiving her Ph .D ., Dr. Craig has traveled abroad to the Continent and the British Isles. One of her books, "The Scottish Periodical Press, " has been published in Edinburgh. Dr. Craig has taught at Downer College in Milwaukee and at Western Reserve University in Maryland. She was Chairman of the Engfish Department at Beaver College for seven years. lo February, 1943, Dr. Craig came to Wilkes College and became Chairman of our English Department. She has also served as advisor to the Wilkes College literary magazine, the Manuscript. WE DEDICATE THE 195 5 AMNICOLA with pride to Dr. Mary Craig, who for the past twelve years, has been Chairman of the Wilkes College English Department. lo that position she has helped guide our paths in the search of a liberal education . Through her efforts and with her aid, hundreds of Wilkes graduates have come to learn not only the basic principles of our native tongue, but also the meaning and true worth of the greatest writers of all times-Shakespeare, Milton, Chaucer, Keats and Wordsworth. Her ability to translate and convey the most profound thoughts of ancient and modern man in a clear and enlightening manner has been of inestimable value to us all. Dr. Craig, an author in her own right, has done much to enable our own classmates to produce their best with their literary abilities. The high quality of the Wilkes College literary magazine, The Manuscript, attests to this fact. Dr. Craig must indeed have extraordinary ability to have accomplished so much. There are few persons who have done as much for our college and for our students. We shall forever be indebted to her. To strive for her achievements-this is our goal. 9 �ADMINISTRATION The policies that are formulated by the members of the Administration determine the value of Wilkes College as an institution of higher learning. At their meetings decisions are reached and plans are laid that affect everything from the school's financial status to its academic and social organization. Their ta&k is immense, but they have not faltered. ALFRED W. BASTRESS, Ph.D. Dean of Instruction In shaping the policies of the College, the administration keeps in close contact with the student body. The needs and desires of th~ students are relayed to the members of the administration through personal contact with the Deans of Men and Women, and the Director of Student Activities. Each student at Wilkes has an opportunity to arrange for private meetings with the "top brass" in seeking personal guidance. The students have always found them to be patient and sincere counselors.

Art The quality of any scliool's academic standing depends upon its "top men," as exemplified by our department chairmen. These are the people who provide the link between the administration and the faculty, and the combined efforts of this trio of guiding hands are primarily responsible for the status of Wilkes College today. The department chairmen have a personal interest in each student at Wilkes. It is their responsibility to provide the proper courses for each department and to coordinate the aims of the college with the needs of the student. The members of this group not only are experienced and well-trained, but also possess-as is so necessary in these troubled yearsa special interest and ability to properly guide the students in their pursuit of a liberal, well-rounded education. In each department-the kumanities, the social sciences, and the sciences-they have constructed a balanced, complete curriculum which enables each student to acquire both the liberal background and the special training needed for each individual's goal. THOMASE. RICHARDS, M.S. Mathematics However, the department chairmen are more than curriculum-builders. They are teachers, also. In their classes we have come to appreciate their understanding, to respect their judgment, and to be grateful for their friendship. ELWOOD J. DISQUE, A.B. Modern Languages CHARLES A.

The depth of the education we have received reflects the capabilities of our faculty. Here at Wilkes we have a faculty possessing remarkable skills. They have not only taught us basic facts and theories but have instilled in us the technigues of evaluating the substance of our learning. In so many of our courses, such as World Literature, Economics, and Philosophy, we have come to know and understand great men and their thoughts, how these men have affected past and present civilizations, and what bearings they will have on the future.

Public performance is an integral part of this program. To satisfy this need, the department provides many activities both at the college and in the community, such as the Madrigal Singers, the Philharmonic Orchestra, the musical "Girl Crazy", the Town and Gown Series, and Solo Recitals-to name a few . MR. JOHN G. DETROY Music Department Chairman The department, headed by Mr. Detroy and assisted by Mr. Robert Moran, has three primary aims: to adequately prepare students for teaching or performing music, or both; to enrich the cultural life of the college and the community; and to provide a music curriculum both complimentary and supplementary to the overall college program. Wilkes has a student chapter that is active in the national affairs of the Music Educators National Conference. It is designed for students who are preparing to teach music in order that they may have professional teaching affiliation prior to graduation from college. CHORAL CLUB First row, left to right: M.

The Choral Club, under the direction of Mr. Detroy, is composed of fifty students and is open to all members of the student body. A wide range of choral material, both sacred and secular, is included in its repertoire. The Wilkes Chorus is noted for their outstanding performances both on campus and elsewhere in the Valley. We admire and congratulate Mr. Detroy, Mr. Moran, and their assistants for their excellent job of building the Music Department to its present stage of development, as well as for producing two excellent musical organizations-the Band and the Chorus-which have become noted for their delightful performances.

The progress within the Education Department is characteristic of the expansion of the college as a whole. Under the capable direction of Dr. Eugene Hammer and Johnson T. Karr, the Education Department has become progressively active under a fourpoint plan of operation. The first part of this program is the Introduction to Education course which is available to any student in the school. This course offers a basic knowledge of the Education field: the leaders, the aims, and the efforts inaugurated to achieve these aims. Secondly, there 1s the "block" of Education courses which prepare prospective teachers in such techniques as methods and psychology of education. The third point of this operation, Student Teaching, is more or less the "acid test" for teaching aspirants. Here the students receive their initial contact with the actual art of teaching. The fourth part of the program is the Education Club. This club is a national chapter in the Future Teachers of America, an organization directed under the auspices of the National Educational Association. Working under the student direction of Chuck Adamek and advised by Dr. Hammer, the club endeavors to advance the causes of education both at Wilkes and in the community. Dr. Hammer feels that this extracurricular educational activity complements his entire departmental organization, providing members with experiences not directly attainable in the education courses and giving the FT A members an opportunity to function in, and acquaint themselves with, a national professional organization.

Along with classroom work, political science classes take an active part in the practical aspect of government. In the last election one class conducted an objective survey of each polling place in WilkesBarre and later discussed their findings. The Political Science Department has also worked in many community projects, sponsoring courses for policemen and magistrates, and a course in the causes and prevention of crime. These courses were offered in co-operation with the Public Service Institute. Besides these courses, a bi-monthly meeting of local officials is held, to discuss problems that they may have. To supplement these discussions, the officials requested that some kind of publication be issued to them. Dr. Mailey answered their request with the Luzerne County News-Letter. This paper gives suggestions of procedure and also recent ideas of community improvement. Over two hundred copies are sent out each month to all local officials. Well, th e farm vote came through. Another one of Dr. Mailey' s many act1v1t1es 1s that of predicting and analyzing election results. His opinions are highly regarded, not only here at Wilkes but throughout the area. .

This department has grown steadily under the skillful direction of Miss Ruth Jesse. { 1 t I Do nurses even concoct their own iodine i The Nursing Education Department provides courses for student nurses in four hospitals in the Wilkes-Barre area. Here at Wilkes future nurses from the Wyoming Valley and Nesbitt Hospitals study all of their required science and social science courses, while st u d en t s from the Pittston and Wilkes-Barre General Hospitals may fill the psychology and sociology requirements necessary for a degree in nursing education. Extension courses are also offered to graduate nurses who wish to obtain an education degree through full or part-time study at Wilkes. Each year Santa visits the nurses at their annual Christmas Party. The Nursing Education Department of the College reaches as far as Lebanon Valley where a cooperative program has been instituted. Nurses from that area may obtain a degree from Wilkes by earning one-half of their credits at Lebanon Valley College and the other half at Wilkes. iley' s many activities 1s tlyzing election results. arded, not only here at ·ea.

All Wilkes students are required to take at least two semesters of history. The reason for this is fairly obvious, for only through a careful study of the evolution of political, economic and social institutions can one discover the true significance of the world in which we live. Dr. Harold Thatcher, Chairman of the History Department, and his assistant, Dr. Mui, have done a splendid job in interpreting the historical forces that have shaped the thoughts of man through the ages.

Mr. Sym prepares his lecture. The Department has three aims: to give the student a general view of the field, to prepare students for specialized study in graduate schools in Sociology and· other related fields , to show the relationship between Sociology and other sciences and social sciences. Whether one continues his studies m Sociology or takes his place in society in other fields , a background in Sociology will provide a better understanding of man, his culture, and his problems.

In September, the department was reenforced by the addition of seventy-nine Freshmen, who were quickly initiated into the rigors of an Engineering education. With the help of the Freshmen, the Engineering Club was reorganized under the able supervision of the club advisors, Mr. Heltzel, Mr. Hall, and Mr. Thomas. There must be an easier way to tell time. Don't erase it, yet .. The Engineering Club, originally organized in 1934, aims to institute and maintain both educational and social activities for the Engineering students. Many contributions have been made by the Club in conjunction with its general ideals. The annual Science Show, given in cooperation with the Biology and Chemistry Departments, is one of the main activities undertaken by the Club. On the Social side, the Club held an outing at Mr. Heltzel' s farm. This affair proved to be a great success for those who attended and resulted in getting the new and old members thoroughly acquainted with each other. The Club's next organized effort proved to be a tremendous financial success, for "The Harvest Hoedown" attracted one of the largest crowds ever to attend a dance at Wilkes. The Club followed this success with another, that being a "Recovery Party" which was held in January. The party came at a most opportune time for most of us were in need of some recreation after the strain of finals. Other events on the calendar included a tour of the industrial plant of the Bethlehem Steel Company in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. This tour was especially interesting to all those who were fortunate enough to attend. This ended the activities for the 1955 version of the Engineering Club, which enjoyed a very successful year. A great deal of credit should be given to the advisors and each and every member for their united support which made all of this possible. No, it can't be. 38 Now this is a very delicate experiment.

The Wilkes College Chemistry Department provides chemistry students with a comprehensive education in this study of the composition of substances. Dr. Alfred W. Bastress, Chairman of the Department, arranges the curriculum for chemistry majors with a view to preparing them for future work in industry, or for a continuation of their studies in graduate school. As the line approaches the zero po X and Y axes ... MA1 Closely affiliated with the Department is the Chemistry Club, which is dedicated to the promotion of interest in the science of chemistry. The Club holds frequent meetings at which plans are laid and problems discussed. Members of the Club make numerous tours of industrial plants in the hope of gaining practical experience in the application of chemical knowledge in business firms. Con£ erences are also held in conjunction with the Intercollegiate Chemistry Society of Northeastern Pennsylvania.

The English Department is one which involves every student in the college. An extremely competent staff, headed by Dr. Craig, provides the basic and essential information necessary to achieve a well-rounded, liberal education. The students learn not only the fundamentals of good English but also become acquainted with the great writers of the ages. The Manuscript is a di campus. Since it is a lite1 ture writers the opportur have this material judgec merits. Working in con Department, and with tl Craig, the staff has anm publication which has at over a widespread area.

Dr. Craig, advisor to the Manuscript, aids the student staff in presenting an excellent literary publication. Mr. Groh is an expert on theatrical productions and advisor to Cue and Curtain. The magnificent productions of the theatre group have attracted favorable notice throughout the region.

Since it is a literary magazine, it offers future writers the opportunity to submit material and have this material judged impartially on its literary merits. Working in conjunction with the English Department, and with the help and advice of Dr. Craig, the staff has annually produced an excellent publication which has attracted favorable attention over a widespread area. Honest, Dr. Davies, I studied six hours for that test. Early in the fall semester, the Manuscript staff began once more to prepare a publication of the best literafY efforts of Wilkes' students. The group was confronted with a number of fine articles which were carefully studied by Editor Sandy Furey and his staff. After much debate and indecision, all articles were judged on literary merit, and the best combination of prose, poetry, and short stories were chosen for publication. The articles came from all corners of the campus, as students of the arts as well as the sciences submitted excellent material. The members of the Manuscript's staff hold their first meeting. tain.

Colorful exhibits of the students' work fill the walls, and unfinished paintings stand on easels. Usually one or more still-lifes are set up with the sign "do not disturb" tacked hopefully in front of them by the interrputed artist. Scaling photos with a camera lucida . It is here that the design and art work for the Amnicola is carried out. Under the expert guidance of Mr. O'Toole, art students prepare the artwork, layout, and paste-ups, thereby gaining knowledge in the professional application of methods and techniques. t Many community artists are JOmmg the evening art classes at Wilkes. The Monday night painting class for business and professional men and women is very popular, with some students commuting to this class from Tunkhannock and Hazleton. The year 1955 saw the establishment of an Art Major in Wilkes College. It is now possible for a talented student to matriculate in art with an A.B. degree. Since the Wilkes College Art Department covers both Fine and Practical Arts, a wide field is offered, enabling the art student to prepare for a career in advertising design, illustration, fashion, lettering or to become a fine artist.

GUIDANCE The college provides an extensive guidance program for all students, which provides services during the four years spent at the school. Incoming freshmen are tested at Hollenback Hall to determine both the capacities and the interests of the individual. The Veterans Testing Service controls testing of both veterans and all applicants for admission to the College. Oh yes , it's a busy place. During the years spent at the College, the Center arranges part-time and summer employment for interested persons. This in itself is a big job for Mr. Chwalek and his staff, for over one-third of the students earn at least part of their college expenses. The Placement Office of the Guidance Center not only provides temporary jobs, but also makes initial contact with school districts and industries who are seeking graduates as permanent employees. The Department deals with over one hundred organizations who look to Wilkes for personnel. The guidance program maintains other auxiliary services besides testing and placement. A complete Careers Library is provided to furnish information concerning vocations. Special Counseling services are maintained both at the Center and in Barre Hall, by Mrs . Guttman. Mr. Kanner explains some of the testing methods used. GUIDANCE CENTER Seated, left to right: John Chwalek, Peggy Jones, Joan Zuk, Tom Gilhool.

A college serves as a means of developing personality as well as an institution of higher learning. Throughout their stay at Wilkes, a number of students stood out conspicuously as social and academic leaders. We of the Amnicola staff feel that these students deserve special pictorial recognition as a small reward for their efforts and achievements m making college life more pleasant for us all. Sandy A. Furey The fourteen sernors selected for this section of the yearbook have made valuable contributions to the campus life of the college. Their noted efforts in the fields of sports, student publications, drama, debate, music, student government, departmental clubs and social organizations have provided them with the experience and knowledge necessary to enable them to face the future with con£ idence and high expectations.

Conference between directors Detroy and Groh. 01 Gershwin's "Girl Crazy", presented at Irem Temple November 19 and 20, 1954, was Cue and Curtain's spectacular present to Wilkes College on its twenty-first birthday. The musical comedy, a first, the combined efforts of the theatre and music department, had an enormous appeal on campus as well as in the community. An exciting set, a first-rate pit orchestra, and a top-flight cast electrified a first night audience; the show played to full houses both nights. As the first production of its kind, the musical proved that the theatre is one of the best means for encouraging interest in the college and setting a standard against which other groups in the community can measure their own performance. The show featured Howard "Skinny" Ennis and Paul Shiffer in the comedy leads, Eleanor Detroy and Fred Cohn as the romantic singing leads, Basia Mieszkowski as the irrepressible Kate, and newcomer Bruce Williams as the black-garbed villain, Lank. Jane Obitz, Bill Crowder, Gerald Lind, Britton Kile, Nancy Batcheler, and Natalie RuDusky contributed to the merriment.

It was certain!y a different environment and our first task was to achieve class unity. The first hectic weeks made clear to us the lowly status of Freshmen. Hazing, orientation, our social whirl, and even our "rebellion'' started us on the road to being a genuine class almost before we realized it. The next highlight on the Freshman calendar was the election of officers. Spirited campaigning by various candidates and their supporters preceded the big day. After the ballots were counted we had chosen: David Vann, President; John Scandale, Vice President; Janice Loyek, Secretary; John Bassett, Treasurer and for the Student Council: Sam Lowe, Ann Dixon, and Merri Jones. JANICE LOYEK Secretary MERRI JONES Student Council Mary BORETZ The goal of our officers was to form a wellorganized active class. One of their first acts was the formulation of a representative Freshman Council. This group, one of the first of its type on campus, was designed to formulate and implement class policy. Their efforts aided us in starting the year with a treasury balance of eighty dollars. The success of "The Freshman Fling" and other class projects enabled us to fulfill ambitious class plans.

The paper "cove campus from corner to corner" news of interest to everyone at Enjoying one of the finest seasons in the history of debate at Wilkes College, Coach Kruger's debaters won a number of major tournaments in open competition with many outstanding colleges and universities. In the first tournament of the season the team won five out of eight debates at Muhlenberg. They then went on to win two tournaments on thi: same weekend. The varsity squad of J. Harold , "Nick," Flannery, Jr., Jesse Choper, James N everas and Leslie Weiner copped first place honors in the "Good Neighbor" Tournament at Bucknell, while the novice team, composed of Virginia Brehm, Hermina Fried, Bruce Warshal and John Scandale emerged as the only undefeated team in the Novice Tournament at Princeton. This "double triumph" by no means marked the climax of the year. Wilkes' two-man squad, Neveras and Flannery, took possession of the coveted first place trophy at the Johns Hopkins Invitational Tournament held at Baltimore. This spectacular victory for the Wilkesmen came about by a win over a reputable Princeton team in a runoff debate, after the two teams had finished the regular rounds in a tie.

The theatre is a vital part of the campus life. The theatre is a living record of man's thoughts and experiences. Chase Theatre is a workshop for the expression of these ideas. Final scene from "The Nen·ous 111/reck" Following the production of three serious plays, Ibsen's "The Master Builder," Christopher Fry's "Thor With Angels," and Phillip Barry's "Hotel Universe," the theatre group last April staged a rollicking farce comedy, "The Nervous Wreck." An enthusiastic audience of over 600 students from the region's high schools was entertained at a preview performance, a practice which Cue and Curtain introduced with notable success. The final performance was acclaimed by a huge audience. In addition to its regular campus productions, Cue and Curtain assists the Lettermen, Theta Delta Rho, and other organizations, both on and off campus, in supplying lights, stage equipment, and personnel. Working on a limited budget, Cue and Curtain has managed to consistently present a high level of performance, a reputation that the group expects to maintain.

The girls chose a charity project to aid a patient at the General Hospital. In addition, the sorority sponsored numerous Teas and Punch Parties for all students in the college, as well as for high school seniors. Their impressive list of activities also included a Christmas Buff et, a Card Party, a Spa.rt Dance, and the annual festive Valentine Dance. es )11/,-eck" The women of T.D.R. were enthusiastic supporters of all their projects, and their support enabled the sorority to enjoy a tremendously successful year.

Working as the coordinating body between the administration and the students, the Student Council settled a number of problems which finally resulted in school policy. Determined to solve once and for all the problem of the budget, the Council discussed and debated this delicate problem for a full semester in the midst of a vehement controversy throughout the campus. The Council finally settled the budget problem and established a firm policy to govern budget appropriations. On the social side, the Council sponsored many highly successful events throughout the year, including the All-College Thanksgiving Dance, the Winter Carnival, and the Cinderella Ball.

I.R.C This year the International Relations Club continued to make itself known both on the Wilkes campus and in intercollegiate circles. On Campus, the Club sponsored a mock gubernatorial and congressional election. Prior to the election, both candidates for the congressional post addressed Wilkes students. 74 The I.R.C. actively participated in intercollegiate conferences throughout the year. Lois Long headed a Wilkes delegation to a model U.N. Assembly which was held at the University of Pennsylvania in April. The club was again affiliated with the Intercollegiate Conference on Government, and attended various regional meetings of the I.CG.

It was the first class to incorporate an advisory board in its government to aid the class president in making decisions. The Sophomores, cooperating with the Seniors, sponsored the first Masquerade Ball in the history of Wilkes College. The class was also the first organization in the history of the school to publish a student directory. With these "firsts", it can readily be seen that the Sophomore Class was not a static organization. The people who participated in making this progress possible may well be proud of their individual parts in providing a precedent for future classes. The formulation JOHN COATES Treasurer PHYLLIS WALSH Secretary and Student Council and administration of class policies were conducted by the class as a whole, with each member having an equal voice in its government. The officers of the class-Reese Jones, President; Neil Dadurka, Vice President; Phyllis Walsh, Secretary; and John Coates, Treasurer; with the cooperation of many Sophomore's, have succeeded in welding the group into an efficient and progressive organization. With its high ideals and many accomplishments, the Sophomore Class should go on to new heights in the two remaining years at Wilkes, and more important, the individual members should go far in making good citizens.

The '54 diamond Colonels lost to Lebanon Valley, East Stroudsburg, Muhlenberg, Ithaca, Cortland, Hartwick, Bloomsburg, Moravian and Rider. The Wilkes College nine were on the winning side of the score against East Stroudsburg, Lebanon Valley, and Bloomsburg in return games, as well as against Scranton and the Alumni. ii Muhlenberg goes ahea, The important game for the Wilkes-Scranton University Trophy found the Colonels winning the cup for the second straight year with an 8-3 victory. The "big man" with the bat was center-fielder Jim Ferris, with a hatting average of . 357. Also a standout <luring the season was "slugger" Joe Trosko, who was converted from third sacker to catcher. Seniors Len Bartroney, Ed Davis, and Joe Sikora were the core of the infield and were aided by Ilewcomers Jack Richards and Sy Evans. The Jones boys discuss mound strategy. On the mound were veterans Joe Sikora, Phil Jones, and sophomore Mel McNew, freshman standout of '53 whose performance was hindered by a sore arm. Al Broody, Hank Keller and Charlie W arkomski, newcomers on the squad, were used in relief. Out£ ield duties were shared by Jim Ferris, Walt Chapko, Dick Kachinosky, Sy Evans, Mel McNew, and the squad's "Iron Man," John Aquilino. First row, left tl row: D. Kachinc ridge, Coach, J. Elias, C.

The Colonels had a winning football season this year , copping 4 wins against 3 losses on a 7 game schedule. This year's team was perhaps the smallest ever fielded by the Colonels, for the line averaged only 1 78 pounds, while the backs averaged 173 pounds. In every game this year, we were outweighed. However, there is one department in which a Wilkes College team has never been out-classed, and that is fighting spirit. All teams, big or small, respect the Colonels. The return of Al Nicholas from the Marine Corps bolstered the returning veteran back£ ield of Ronald Fitzgerald, Howie Gross and Andy Breznay. Two newcomers, Ron Rescigno and Jack Richards completed a backfield that perhaps was one of the fastest in the state. The center of the line was held down by veteran center Glenn Carey and the guard positions by Joe Trosko, and "Amos" Fay. At tackle we had veterans Cliff Brautigan and Bob Masonis, while playing end for the Colonels were Neil Dadurka and his running mate, Honorable Mention Little All-American, Paul Gronka. During the pre-season workouts the coaching staff saw that they had a very fast squad with another advantage of three potential passers in Howie Gross, Al Nicholas, and Jack Richards . First on the schedule was a tough Lebanon Valley squad and it took a determined Blue and Gold team to pull this one from the fire . The scrappy L. V. team swarmed all over the Wilkesmen. The line play on both sides was terrific but finally experience won out as the Wilkesmen scored twice in the first half. In the last minute of the game, Rescigno took a hand off from Jack Richards and scampered 32 yards around end to score a final insurance touchdown.

A good little man is an asset but a good big man is more so, as any coach will tell you. This was the case when the gargantuan Bloomsburg Huskies ran roughshod over the Colonels to the tune of 44-0. The Blue and Gold were outweighed 20 pounds per man and could not handle the Bloomsburg line . Both offensively and defensively the Huskies manhandled us and romped before their homecoming crowd. The Colonels bounced back after the thrashing by Bloomsburg and cracked the Trenton State T eacher College defense to rack up a 4 1-0 victory. The top dog in this clash was Andy Breznay who scampered twice for 5 5 yards and once again for 21 yards to score three T.D.'s in the fray . Touchdowns by Al Nicholas, Jack Richards and end Jarrel Cashmere helped boost the total against the Trentonites. Gross garnered five out of the six P.A.T. attempts. Final score: Wilkes, 41; Trenton, 0. The mighty Hofstra eleven handed Wilkes its second setback in five games at Hempstead, N. Y. The Flying Dutchmen scored in every period racking up 31 points against our 14. The highlight of the evening was by Nicholas as he turned in the finest run of the evening on a 67-yard touchdown gallop on a naked reverse. The second Wilkes run came after Joe Trosko recovered a fumble. A jump pass to Paul Gronka copped this opportunity with another six points. Gross converted both .

If I ever get my hands on you . . . 89 �Again the gridders bounced back from a defeat to maul the Bridgeport Knights, 46-6, to establish a four win and two loss record thus far. Al Nicholas finished up his football career during this game with an injured side received in an attempt to recover a loose ball after scoring twice. Walt Chapko stepped into the tailback slot and captured the crowd's fancy with some fine hard running that netted him 6 yards per carry and 3 touchdowns-one on a 47 yard sprint. Around end at Bio Another Wilkes score. Jack Richards and Paul Gronka contributed a T. D. apiece to cop the point-getting for the evening. Final score: Wilkes, 46, Bridgeport, 6. The Homecoming fracas saw two evenly matched teams meet for their last game of the season. It was a see-saw battle-Moravian took the opening kickoff and marched down to score, making it a 7-0 score. Wilkes retaliated with a Gross to Gronka pass that tied the ballgame on the first play after the return kickoff. After a series of passes from Richards to Neil Dadurka, Rescigno scampered around end to finish the drive with another six pointer. Gross converted, making it 14-7. Shortly after the start of the second half the Greyhounds scored again. In the fourth period a Gross aerial was picked off an<l turned into a T. D. for Moravian. Another insurance T. D. soon after put the finishing touches to the Wilkes hopes. Final score: \X'ilkes, 14; Moravian, 27. Coach Ralston, in summarizing the season, said that he was not displeased with the team's showing and that they earned everyone's respect both on and off the field by their actions. Next year's team appears sound again but the loss of Joe Trosko, Al Nicholas, Ronald Fitzgerald, Walt Chapko, and Bob Fay will be hard to overcome. Nevertheless, Coach Ralston always comes up with a team that will give trouble to its opponent in every game, and next year will be no exception.

Petrilak, Coach Bob Part, SOCCER The Colonel boaters ended up with their second winning season in a row by virtue of four wins, two losses, and three ties. In his pre-season prediction for the team, Coach Bob Partridge spoke in cautious terms, even though he had many returning veterans from last year's squad. The line was composed of men who had proved themselves in action but the backfield was mainly greenhorn. The first couple of games changed the coach's mind about his backs and even though they lacked experience they came through in fine style throughout the season . A collision at Elizabethtown. Note the Bermuda shorts on the ref.; some props, eh? The Colonels showed that they were going to be a team to be reckoned with in the first game with Elizabethtown. It was the opener for both squads and the Blue and Gold came out with a 1 to O victory for their starting effort. The Wilkes international element spelled doom for the Elizabethtown crew as Dean Arvan of Corfu, Greece, crashed through with the winning goal with about ten minutes gone in the first period. It was a surprising victory in a way. Elizabethtown is by tradition an arch rival of Wilkes on the soccer field and they usually are one of the powers of the East. The Colonels' victory gave a preview of things to come. The boaters were riding high after that one, but came face to face with reality in the next tilt.

Fortunately Koo and Petrilak bounced back and the team was in pretty fair shape as they traveled to meet Lafayette College in Easton. Lafayette was tough and was considered the best competition that the Blue and Gold would run into all year long. The boosters had to settle for a 3-3 tie on this one and it seemed that the jinx of road trips was going to plague the team. Wilkes had never beaten Lafayette in three previous meetings so in a way it was a moral victory. By this time the Colonel crew was becoming frustrated and hungry for a win. The next team up on the slate was Bucknell. Co-Captain Carl Van Dike blasted in the winning tally in a game that saw Wilkes in command most of the way, but never seeming to be able to deliver the scoring punch. Van Dike's winning tally came in the third quarter when he plucked the ball out of a mix-up in front of the Bison goal and slipped it through before the startled goalie realized what was going on. The Colonels went into their next battle as favorites against Lock Haven State Teachers College. The teachers soon made it known they didn't believe in being underdogs and drew first blood with only a few minutes gone in the first period. Younsu Koo came through for the Wilkesmen five minutes later to tie the ball game. Younsu is determined to kick it out. Koo scores for the Colonels on a penalty kick. Enie, meenie, minie, moe-kick the ball with your toe. 93 �From head to he: Younsu eagerly waits for the ball to come down. He then booted it into the net. Both teams scored twice in the second and third periods and neither team could score in the fourth. The regulation game ended in a 3-3 tie and the game went into the prescribed two five minute overtime periods. In the first overtime the teachers scored to go ahead, but Ahmed Kazimi scored for the Wilkesmen in the second overtime to give the Colonels a tie. The booters went into the next battle with the Philadelphia Textile Institute with blood in their eyes. They outplayed the Textile crew and literally ran them off the field, winning by a decisive score of 3 to 1. The booters traveled to East Stroudsburg State Teachers College for their next encounter. The Stroudsburg squad, always rough competitors, gave the Wilkesmen a rude jolt and dropped them to the tune of a 1-0 count. The booters got back on the track in the next game against Trenton State Teachers College. Not to be outdone by the football team, which demolished bhe Trenton Squad a week earlier, the WC boaters took a 2-1 decision from the teachers. Now assured of a winning season the boaters ended up in somewhat of an anti-climax. They hit the road again to play a return match with a now much improved Elizabethtown team. The game ended in a 2 to 2 deadlock and the Colonels knew that they had been in a ball game. The Elizabethtown team would never have been recognized as the same out£it that the boaters opened the season with. Although Coach Partridge in his post season appraisal of the team said that he believed the team could have been better, he went on to say that they had their moments of greatness Coach Bob Partridge discu~ Dean Arvan, Greece; Youn �From head to head.

Kuztown and Lycoming took the measure of the Colonels the next two times out, and it appeared that the squad would have a very poor season.

Wilkes' chances for a better record were handicapped by a lack of manpower, and the Colonels were forced to forfeit at least one weight class in every meet throughout the season. About to score Although the team started with only three veterans of last year, the Wilkes squad showed surprising strength and versatility in their opener, defeating Brooklyn Polytechnical Institute by an impressive 13-8 score. Their next meet, with Swarthmore, resulted in a 16-16 tie.

As such it not only strives to satisfy the need for a college in Wyoming Valley, but it also serves the community in numerous other respects. The facilities of the college are utilized by various organizations in the Wilkes-Barre area. Community banquets are held in the Gymnasium and the Cafeteria; local health and welfare associations meet and conduct forums in the Lecture Hall; and scientific and cultural achievements are displayed in the Gymnasium. Special courses are offered for local off icials in community government and crime prevention, and many Wilkes-Barre business and professional men take night courses in art, music, and business administration . The students and faculty of the College actively participate in many community projects. The college quotas in fund raising campaigns for the Community Chest and the Red Cross are met annually. Twice a year, in the fall and spring semesters, a Wilkes College "blood day" is held at the Red Cross center, and hundreds of pints of blood were cheerfully donated by Wilkes students and faculty members.

Yes, after four years of school, after texts and theories, bull-sessions and books: what next? Where to find the job which will be good enough for a life-time? Out of all the phases of American life, which is the right one for me? Where can I find this blend of ingredients: freedom to express thoughts and ideas; a chance to learn and grow; an opportunity to work with people in a vital, ever-changing basic industry? LOOK TO RETAILING . . . LOOK TO DEPARTMENT STORES! Giants of modern distribution, they serve their communities diligently, tirelessly, efficiently. Proud products of the American System, they believe that profits are created through service and that community service is the result of the activities of many people, working together, thinking together, building together. POMEROY'S is such a department store. Our training program could be the first step to a great career for you. If you would like to work with people who believe in their future, in the future of Wyoming Valley and in the future of their country . . . if you are willing to learn . . . if you have an open mind and are willing to think for yourself . . . if you recognize the need of a good day's work for a good day's pay . . . then we think you would like to talk to us at * Pomeroy's, a Wyoming Valley Institution since 1860 is a Member of the POMEROY'S World's Greatest Department Store Family.

For many years the students of Bucknell University Junior College have wanted a yearbook. Many obstacles, however, had to be passed by before we were able finally to set to work on the actual plans. Our college grew so rapidly and changes came so frequently that our predecessors here at school could only pass on to others who came after them their hopes and ideas for a yearbook. A few years ago several of the alumm who were then students had had their plans for a book shattered by the entry of our country into war. This is the first year all the elements necessary for a successful vent ure into publication seemed to be presentan enthusiastic staff; a sympathetic administration; a student body anxious for a permanent record of its activities; an obliging engraver; and a long-suffering and understanding printer. The result of our efforts is The BUJC Yearbook, Volume I. The yearbook staff hopes that those who read the book will gain as much pleasure from it as have we who compiled it. ... Four CHASE HALL �DEDICATION ♦ ♦ ♦ We dedicate this, our first yearbook, to Doctor Eugene S. Farley, Director of Bucknell University Junior College, whose unerring guidance, warm friendship, and unfaltering leadership have been an inspiration to us throughout our college careers. THE DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE It is a happy circumstance that the first issue of the yearbook appears as our young men are returning from service and as we are undertaking the transition from a twoyear to a four-year program. As we adjust ourselves to our new conditions we can wen profit by an examination of ourselves and our world. Few graduates of the College have known a peaceful and prosperous world. All our students have attended college during the depression or the war. Men and women who have studied during such times should deserve personal comfort and prosperity for their future. But I cannot wish any of you easy prosperity and great personal security, although I do wish every student and alumnus success and a full life. We entered the war uncertain of ourselves and of our allies; and although we emerged the victors we face greater uncertainties than we did on December 7, 1941. Developments of science and of thought have combined with the destruction and disillusionment of war to destroy familiar patterns of living. If we are again to know stability and security, we must build a new mode of life upon the ruins of the old. During this period of transition and reconstruction we shall have no familiar marks to guide us, for our scientists and technologists have changed our pattern of living and our world. We have emerged from the known into the unknown as certainly as did Columbus when he made his journey across the Atlantic in 1492. Only conviction, and faith, and courage held him to his course until he discovered the new world of his age. The unknown world that confronts us is more than the oceans that lay before Columbus and the perils are more numerous and less tangible. As we face this future we need the conviction, and faith, and courage that were Columbus'; but in addition we must come to know ourselves and our neighbors; we must learn to live together in a world that has shrunken so that we are no longer able to live apart; we must gain understanding and vision lest we fail to see the opportunity and hope that can be ours. It is my hope that every student and alumnus will take his or her part in the struggle that men must make if a decent world is to emerge from the chaos, uncertainty, and confusion of the present. Those who take part in this great struggle will find neither ease nor comfort. The best they can hope for it satisfaction in the undertaking of a worthwhile task. To everyone of you I wish that satisfaction. DR. EUGENE S. FARLEY Six �BOARD OF TRUSTEES ♦ ♦ • Bucknell University Junior College was founded in Wilkes-Barre in 1933 by Bucknell University for the purpose of offering to the young men and women of the Wyoming Valley the educational opportunities previously denied them. At the time the College was founded, this was the largest community in Pennsylvania, if not in the United States, which did not have a co-educational, community college. Chairman, Gilbert S. McClintock Secretary, Charles H. Miner, Jr. The first years of the College were spent in a rented office building on Northampton Street. A majority of the faculty came from Bucknell University. Starting with an initial class of one hundred and fifty-five students, the enrollment soon became so great that the building was no longer adequate. It was evident that the experiment in community education was successful. The administration and local trustees appealed to leading citizens to enable the college to move from temporary quarters to a permanent home. The response was prompt and generous. Dr. Samuel M. Davenport Jasper B. Carr Mrs. John Conyngham and Admiral and Mrs. Harold N. Stark were the first donors. John N. Conyngham Hall and Chase Hall, given in 1937, were dedicated by President Marts on April 9, 1938. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Weckesser in 1938 added the Northampton Street residence which is now the women's dormitory. In 1941 Mr. Allen • Kirby donated the home of his parents to permit further expansion from already overcrowded quarters. The Kirby Home for Education, dedicated on December 2, 1941, provided the College with a real campus, for its spacious grounds adjoined those of Chase Hall. Miss Annette Evans Col. J. Henry Pool Judge Thomas A. Farrell Reuben H. Levy Dr. Joseph J. Kocyan Reverend Charles S. Roush Mrs. Charles E. Clift Mrs. Franck G. Darte George W. Guckelberger Julius L. Stern Andrew J. Sordoni James P. Harris Mrs. Sara E. Kent Miss Mary R. Koons Ellsworth Parkhurst, Jr. Frederick J. Weckesser Since October, 1945, trustees and friends have given to the College four additional buildings: the Long residence at 154 South River Street, now the Veterans' Guidance Center; the Payne residence at 158 South River Street; the Stoddard residence at 191 South Franklin Street; and the residence at 164 South River Street, donated by the heirs of the Ashley estate, Mrs. Marian Ahlborn, Dr. Henry Carr, and Mrs. Roccena Wolfe. Further evidence of the growth of the Junior College is seen in the construction of the new cafeteria between Chase Hall and the South Franklin Street property, in the establishment of new classrooms in the building behind Conyngham Hall, and in the many changes being made inside Kirby, Conyngham, and Chase. The initiation last September of a third year of college work is another indication of the continual growth of a college-level, co-educational institution in the heart of Wyoming Valley. It is the genuine hope of each member of the student body that the school will continue to prosper until, at some time in the near future, there will be a four year college in this community. The student body is deeply indebted to the trustees and friends of the college who have sought to produce a fine educational institution in the community. The students extend grateful thanks to those who, by their vision and faith, have established a college of which we are all proud. Edward B. Mulligan Nine �ADMINISTRATION • • • Mr. George R. Faint, former Registrar at the College, was a member of the Junior College staff from 1933 to 1946. During his thirteen years of service he saw many students register at the College and complete two years of intensive work. He watched the College expand during war years, and after the war greeted many returning veterans and helped them become readjusted to college life. For his many years of service to the students and to the College we extend to Mr. Faint our appreciation and sincere thanks. FACULTY • • • DR. CHARLES B. REIF Biology DR. LENORE WARD Biology Mr. Herbert Morris, who is our new Registrar, came to the College in November 1945 in the capacity of adviser to the veterans. He held this position until February of this year, at which time he became Registrar. Mr. Morris, who formerly was instructor in Economics at The Wharton School of Business, is also Assistant Professor of Economics al the Junior College. We wish him succes.s in the years ahead. MR. EDWARD J. PUGH MR. HENRY W. STEINMAN Biology Chemistry MISS CATHERINE BONE Chemistry Miss Norma Sangiuliano, Dean of Women and instructor in Dramatics and Speech, has been a member of the Bucknell faculty since 1936. During her first year at the College she organized the Thespians, an activity which has continued to grow and prosper throughout the years. Also ,,;omen's Physical Education instructor, Miss Sangiuliano has played a prominent part in the social activities of the women students at the school. MRS.

I. Bill of Rights. The local center is the main office for many branch ccnter3 established throughout northeastern Pennsylvania. When a veteran applies for college training, he is met by a competent staff of trained counsellors who help him choose the course for which he is best suited. First, an adviser computes the number of months of college training to which the veteran is entitled; second, the adviser arranges for subsistence or a pension for the veteran while he is in school. ext, counsellors discuss ,Yith each person the type of course he wishes to pursue. Finally, each veteran takes a series of examinations designed to determine his aptitude for the particular kind of work in which he is interested. By means of this intensive counselling and examination procedure, the veteran is aided. in his transition to collegiate life. ..

The preamble of the Constitution of Bucknell University Junior College establishes the purpose of the Student Council as follows: "We, the students of Bucknell University Junior College, to promote the general welfare and secure a more efficient student organization, establish this constitution." The Student Government is composed of the President, Vice President, and Secretary of each class, together with the presidents of those organizations which come under the heading of College Activities. The three main duties which this governing body is required to fulfill are: the setting up of standards and rules for the general conduct of the student body; the formulation of a budget of appropriations to the various student organizations; and the appointing of committees responsible for special activities. The Council cooperates with the faculty advisers, the Dean of Women, and the Director of the College. In addition to regular monthly meetings, special meetings are held with the faculty. At these special meetings, plans and policies of the College are discussed, but the final action is left in the hands of the Council. There are three officers of the Student Council: the President, Joseph Callahan; Vice President, Patricia Steele; and Secretary, Rhuea Williams. Elections are held at the beginning of every fall semester for the appointment of officers. Minutes are taken at each meeting by the Secretary and are retained as a part of the permanent record of the Council. Copies of the minutes are given to the Director of the College and to the Dean of Women for their approval of the various activities which have been planned.

This is the first year in the history of the Junior College that a yearbook has been planned and published. The idea was not a new one, for members of former classes were also interested in such a proje:::t, but up to the present time insurmountable obstacles had been encountered. This year all the factors favorable to a good yearbook have been present. A large number of students expressed interest in the publication. Many were anxious to get to work on it; others were wil li ng to give financial and moral support. Printers and engravers were willing to take new customers. During the first week of March a meeting was held to determine the extent of student interest. The meeting was well attended, and many excellent and original ideas were brought forth . At this meeting a vote was taken and those present decided to edit a book in order to make former wishes a present reality. The yearbook personnel was divided into three staffs: editorial, business, and photographic. Each staff held its own meeting and elected its own editor. Gloria Farkas w~s elected editorial editor, and James Flynn, assistant editor; Shirley Mason, business editor, and Nelson Nelson assistant editor; Carl Shonk, photographic editor, and Douglas Mac eal, assistant editor. Alphonse Dervinis \\:as appointed managing editor of the yearbook, and to him fe~l the all-important duty of collecting and assembling all ~r~icles and pictures . It was his responsibility to act as haison between the various staffs, and between the school and the printer and engraver. Mr. Donnelly was selected as adviser to the yearbook. The editorial staff was responsible for the lay-out of the yearbook. It was their duty to plan the theme of the book and then to write articles for the various activities. The business staff concentrated on the selling of advertisements and subscriptions. The photographic staff engaged in the taking and developing of campus "shots". To this year's staffs and t heir diligent members goes the credit for the B.U .J.C. Yearbook-Volume I.

It explained the many courses of study open to the students of Bucknell and discussed the background necessary for various professions. A series of articles explained the preparation needed in the engineering course in contrast at that in the medical, secretarial, and the educational courses. The curriculum of each course was discussed. As a result, there grew greater understanding among the students as to the meaning of college and the importance of college work. The aims of each course were clarified and students were aided in attaining the ultimate goal in their studies. BEACON REPORTERS First RJw ( left to l"i g ht ) -Shirley Ma~on .

It was named the "Bison Stampede" and was promoted exclusively by the English Department of the College for the printing of original poetry, articles of general interest, and essays written by the students. For one year the "Bison Stampede" was the literary magazine of the school. In 1934, it was evident that the student body preferred a publication more nearly like a newspaper. Instead of a purely literary magazine, they desired a newspaper which could reflect student opm10n ')11 timely one which would give prominence to the College reports of social affairs, and accounts of the varied activities within the school. In this way, Stampede" became the "Bucknell Beacon", a newspaper. questionF-, club news, many anrl the "Bison four page During the first few years that the "Beacon" was published, it carried news of school social affairs and furnished write-ups of members of the student body and of the faculty in an effort b make everyone better ac- As new groups entered Bucknell and students pressented different ideas of what they desired in a college newspaper, the general tone of the paper changed. With the world at war and the possibility that America might become embroiled in the conflict, more space was devoted to the discussion of serious subjects. Current economic and political problems were debated through the paper. Articles and editorials were published to bring important questions of the day to the attention of the students and to stimulate serious thought concerning them. As it became more evident that our country was getting into the war, the paper reflected the attitude of the students toward this growing certainty. At this time, articles discussing the departure of students from school to enter the services were of primary interest, as well as articles and editorials on the subject of conscription, armament, the condition of America and her position in the wartime world. Student polls were taken frequently on pertinent questions, and the faculty viewpoint as well as that of the students was published. Many articles were written on the Army Air Cadets stationed in Wilkes-Barre and trained at Bucknell. Although the cadets were trained apart from the college students, their influence upon the thoughts and actions of the student body was most pronounced and may be traced through the "Beacon". In 1942 and 1943, a far-reaching campaign for the enlargement of Bucknell was launched. In this the "Beacon" played a large part. Articles were written on the aim of the college to become a fo ur year, independent institutional, and the campaign was given the best possible publicity through the medium of the paper. At the end of the war in Europe, the tension in the college was eased and there was a gradual return to college news in preference to matters of war. Excitement and relief were felt throughout the college in 1945 when the last of our enemies had been defeated, and there was great joy at the return to prominence of club news and social activities. The influence of the war was great, however, and many wartime practices have been carried over to the peacetime "Beacon". The Student Poll still holds a prominent position. In it are given the opinions of the members of the student body on questions concerning the postwar world. The circulation of the "Beacon" is only the college .itself, but friends of and other colleges. During the war, newspaper is sent to former students world in the armed forces. large, including not the college, alumni, and even today, the serving all over the The "Beacon" is put out by the students of the college for the students. Its present aims are to reflect general opinions of the student body on all matters; to help in every way to enlarge the college itself; to introduce prominent students in an effort to promote good will and friendship throughout the school; and to create a more co-ordinated social activity through advertising. The sincere wish of the "Beacon" staff is to attain these goals; then only will it feel its mission has been fulfilled. �• • • DRAMATICS First Row (left to r ig ht) - Mi ss Nor ma C.

Organized in 1936 by ele'-:'en members of ~h~ student body in ,:;ooperation with Mis s Norma Sangrnhano, the dramatics instructor t!1e Thespians is one of the oldest and strongest activities ~i the College. Like all groups, amateur and professional, in the world of the theater, the Trespians hold traditions sacred. Customs and precedents established by the early members are added to each year to form the policy which guides the organization. CHASE TH EATRE The Thespian;,;' first theater was a large auditorium in the school building, which was then located on Northampton Street. Pioneer members of the club still talk about the trials and triumphs they encountered in producing plays in the first theater. In order to walk onto the stage from the right after having previously left the stage from the left, it was necessary to run up three flights of stairs, cross a narrow loft where biological laboratory specimens were stored, and then swiftly descend three flights of stairs, making sure all this time that the race up and down was performed quietly, for the stairs had iron treads which, if they were walked on too heavily, re sounded like thunder throughout the entire building. Then, too, because of the shallowness of the stage, it was occasionally necessary to construct the second and third act scenery in the forms of screens, which were wound around some willing Thespian pletlgee, who would then be compelled to stand in a corner and preYent the scenery from toppling during the first or second acts. There was no scenery loft, so this method served several purposes; it proved pledgee's willingness to suffer for the sake of dramati c art, provided protection against the calamity of falling scenery, and certainly offered a great deal of amusement to the rest of the cast and production staff, most of whom had previously undergone trials equally as agonizing. When the college moved to its present location, a . small garage in the rear of Chase Hall was transfor~ed mto a little theater. Originally, the theater was q~nte barren. Again the stage was too shallow. The acoustics w_ere not good. Facilities for lighting would have taxed the mgenuity of a lighting expert. But, here, at last, was a theater that really belonged to the Thespians-a theater with an upstairs meeting room, a scenery loft, a workshop . Gradually various items of equipment, si:ch as stage ~ets, lights, curtains, tools, paints, and furniture were acqmred. Progress was achieved as the result of earnest and cooperative effort. The dramatics organization provides an opportunity for students to take an active part in one or several of the many phllses of theatrical work. Students may engage in acting, costuming, advertising, stage managing:, c?llecting of properties, lighting, painting, _carpentrr, des~gnmg? ~nd interior decorating. The Thespians provides, m addition, an opportunity to make loyal and lasting friendship s. Working together on a play,_worrying about scene~y a~d costumes, watching the curtam go up on the first mg_ht 1s tense work, but work which knits close the ties of friendship. Throughout the school year former Thespians return to renew friendships and to discuss the things they once did . Every year the Thespians present at least two threeact plays, in addition to radio skits and shorter plays. All productions are under the direction of Miss Norma Sangiuiiano.

PRE-MEDICAL CLUB The Pre-Medical Club was organized in the spring of 1944 in order to familiarize pre-medical students with their intended profession. Since this aim can best be accomplished by actual contact with the medical world, the educational program of the club includes hospital tours, tours of clinics, and lectures by prominent local doctors. Originally membership was restricted to pre-medical students, but in the spring of 194G membership was extended to include, as inactive members, students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Biology course. This year the club has made extensive tours of the local hospitals, the Women's Detention Home, the Children's Service Center, Kirby Health Center, and the Mental Hospital at Retreat. Local physicians ·who le::tured to the club were Dr. Peter Mayock, Dr. Martin Stadulis, Dr. Lewis Rogers, Dr. Joseph Sgarlett, Dr. S. M. Davenport, and Dr. ~ icholas Mauriello. Other talks were pres2nted by members of the college faculty. Miss Kathryn Dominquez spoke on child psychology and Mr. Henry Steinman on physical chemistry. Since its organization the club has made an annual trip to Philadelphia. This year the Franklin Institute, Fels Planetarium, Museum of Natural History, Wistar Institute, Drexel Institute, and Gross Anatomy Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania were the special points of interest. At the University the members were introduced to cadaveric work by means of a lecture and demonstration by Dr. Elliot Clark. The constitution of the club provides that "the faculty adviser shall be the Professor of Zoology at the college." Dr. Lenore Ward has been faculty adviser since the origin of the club in 1944. The officers during the present year were Alphonse Dervinis, president; Dolores Vinesky, secretary-treasurer; Caryl Galow and Edward Burtsavage, directors. The Pre-Medical Club has proved an invaluable aid in the education of science majors and in the training of future doctors. Vi fly SOCIOLOGY CLUB In the fall of 1945 the students of all the sociology classes organized a club which has as its purpose the discussion of sociological and psychological questions of the day. Membership is not restricted to any group. Students in all courses are invited to attend the meetings and to participate in the discussions. The plan of thE: club is to have papers prepared and presented by the sociology students, and occasionally to have prominent speakers present topics of general interest. The first talk, presented y John Riley, dealt with the social consciousness and political attitudes of labor unions . The second meeting of the club was devoted to a consideration of the social and economic problems which confront the American woman. During the· third meeting of the year District Attorney Leon Schwartz discussed some of the problems of a district attorney's office. At the next meeting John Kotis traced the development of prison systems from medieval times to the present day. Meetings and discussions are held throughout the school year. In addition to those topics which have already been considered, the Sociology Club is interested in discussing in the near future such topics as educational problems, the care of the mentally ill, and racial and national prejudices. The large attendance at the meetings is an indication of the interest shown by college people in the social problems confronting the world today. Jack Boyce, president of the club, and Mr. Symonolewicz, Assistant Professor of Sociology and adviser to the club, plan the meetings and programs. ;;_;'ifty-Oll(J �ENGINEERS CLUB ♦ ♦ • Front Center- Dori s Raub.

ENGINEERS CLUB The Engineers Club of Bucknell University Junior College was organized in 1934, more than a decade ago, for the purpose of "instituting and maintaining educational and social activities for engineering students." Since that time the club has continually maintained an active and progressive interest in the affairs of engineering students at the College. The present officers of the Engineers Club are: president, Stanley Gorgas; vice president, Robert Benning; secretary-treasurer, Doris Raub; and faculty adviser, Voris B. Hall. Many contributions have been made by the club towards the purpose for which it was originally instituted. Annual educational tours through such scientific institutions as the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia and tours through various industrial establishments have been made. Enjoyable evenings of dances, dinners, roasts, skating, and swimming parties will be remembered. In attaining its present position the Engineers Club has constantly kept before it three objectives : the education of men and women, the building of character, and the advancement of knowledge. Today the engineering students, having an organization thoroughly attuned to this forward thinking, will more than keep pace with modern student development. For this, thanks are due to the officers and counsellors of the past who set the pattern.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB The present International Relations Club was organized as a result of the apparent dissent of the Bucknell students from the views of Clarence Streit. Since the Student Federalists organization wa s based upon Streit's plea for a union of the democracies, it can be readily understood how such an organization could not receive support from many who sincerely hope for a union of all the nations of the world, democratic and otherwise. Therefore, the Student Federalists chapter at Bucknell Junior College was placed in a state of "suspended animation" until sufficient enthusiasm should justify its reinstatement. The present International Relations Club plan advocates no set pattern for the union of the nations. This fact makes it possible for all views and opinions on international affairs to be brought forth for a group discussion. The first activity of the year was a broadcast on universal military conscription. The participants were the organizers of the International Relations Club. Robert Sakoski t ook a stand in favor of peacetime conscription by supporting the May bill, whereas Ralph Beane denounced universal conscription and advocated the enactment of the proposal of Congressman Joseph Martin, who favors international abolition of military training. John Riley presented questions to the two speakers. At the first meeting of the club, Professor LeRoy Bugbee of Wyoming Seminary spoke on the question of the atomic bomb and stimulated an hour of intense discussion. The chief points brought up at the meeting were later compiled by Ralph Beane and Edward Wasilewski, and were formulated into a script for another broadcast. At the conclusion of the next meeting, which dealt with the work of the hosteling program here and abroad, it was decided to institute a local campaign to seek the introduction of hosteling into this region. It was realized that the domestic development of the ho steling program was necessary before its international development and potentialities for world peace could come to full fruition, _Other 1:ieetings includ~d a ta~k by Mrs. Charles Long, a world traveler, who gave her impressions of Europe immediately before the outbreak of World War II· a motion pict~re p_rogram showin~ the advance of China in the community of natio~s ; and a motion picture devoted to the study of France. Meetings will continue to be planned and broadcasts will eontinue to be made in the hope that the International Relations Club will help to foster discussions of those vital international issues which can onl y be settled through open and frank analysis.

It is an all women's organization, membership in which is automatic upon registration at the College. Its purpose is to promote friendship and unity among all the women students. Each year the group plans social affairs such as teas, tea dances, two Women's Day dances, and a Christmas banquet. The women work for the Red Cross, making toys and stuffed animals at president is Shirley Stookey; the vice president, Jean Steele; and the secretary, Rhuea Army and holiday baskets are made up for needy families. The organization has three officers chosen each year by the ,,.-omen students. The president is Shirley Stookey, the vice president, Jean Steele, and the secretary, Rhuea Williams. Meeting:;; are held every two weeks and committees are appointed by the president to carry out plans made by the members. One of the :first clubs to be organized at the Junior College was the Choral Club, which has had an uninterrupted existence of thirteen years. The club studies and sings a variety of serious music, which includes the following types: medieval sacred and secular music; sixteenth and seventeenth century English lyrics and folk songs; choral works of the great musicians of the Classical and Romantic Periods; and classical music of the present day. Each year the club broadcasts several programs over local radio stations, in addition to presenting a recital at Christmas, and singing at several assembly programs throughout the year. Mr. Paul Gies, Associate Professor of Music, and Mr. Charles Henderson, assistant to Mr. Gies, are sponsors of the club. Rosemary Zukoski is president, Jean Steele is secretary, and Harold Laurence is librarian. Mrs. Eugene S.

As we go to press, several other broadcasting engagements are in the offing. The purpose of the team is two-fold-to stimulate intelligent thinking on vital problems among the masses and to make public the active interest in world affairs taken by Bucknell students. This year the team has been subdivided into t-wo groups, enabling each group to alternate with the other in broacasting engagements. The two topics being discus!'ed at the present time are, "Is the United Nations Organization as it is now constituted able to guarantee world peace and security?" and "Shall the American people adopt peacetime military conscription?'' The scripts have been prepared by members of the team and are based on research material as well as on personal opinions. Ralph Beane, Reese Pelton, Alphonse Dervinis, and Robert Sakoski constitute the team which for the past year has discussed various phases of the U . . 0. John Riley, Ruth Sandler, Ralph Beane, and Edythe Rudolph are members of the team which has argued the pros and cons of military conscription. Dr. Robert L.

Our athletes compiled splendid records in inter-collegiate competition. Thrilled w:th the prospect of a winning team, student interest mounted. Virtually the entire student body attended the home games to lend their support to the players. Winning teams and student interest provided the combination which secured a permanent place for athletics in the extracurricular activities of Bucknell. With the return of ex-servicemen to school, the teams underwent a great improvement. More men went out for athletics, teams were larger, and more substitutes were available. B.U.J.C. can look forward next year to the return of many of this year's star players. With these men as a nucleus, the future athletic teams of the school are certain to provide sturdy competition for any opponent. ATHLETIC AWARD The evening of March 9, 1946 will be long remembered in B.U.J.C. basketball history, for it was on that night that the varsity was presented with its first athletic award. A handsome gold trophy was given to the proud Bee-Jays for placing third in the first Pennsylvania Junior College Tournament. The tournament, which was sponsored by the athletic committee of York Junior College and York Collegiate Institute, was conducted on March 8 and 9 at York, Pennsylvania. The final games of the tournament were played Saturday evening, March 9. Schuylkill Undergraduate Center won the championship from York Junior College with a score of 47-32, and our own Bee-Jays took third place by defeating Altoona Undergraduate Center with a score of 40-36.

CHEERLEADERS BASKETBALL The basketball team of the College was organized by James Campbell, the men's physical education instructor, shorU v after the 19~5 fall semester began. After two weeks of practice sessions, Mr. Campbell selected the varsity squad. Those chosen were Edward W itek and Joseph Swartwood, handling the varsity forward positions; William Johns and Joseph Kelly, playing guard; and WilUam Zukausky, at center. Substitutes were Stanley Hall, Dougla!". MacNeal, William Walp, Stephen Lovendusky, Ervin Panek, Joseph Elick, Jay Rauscher, Dominick Yanchunas, Robert Wentz, Garfield Davis, Nathan Brown, and Earl Fritzges. Irving Abrams did a fine job as team manager. The varsity basketball s quad was overworked in several of its games because of lack of experience. For example, in the second game with the Wilkes-Barre Y.M.H.A . the t eam met with considerable difficulty. Playing against a stronger team, the Bee-Jays nevertheless managed to keep Y.M.H.A. varsity from rolling up too high a score. In all the games all the members of the team were given a chance to gain the experience of competition, and the m embers who return next year should form the nucleus of a superior 1946 squad .

BASEBALL After a lapse of several years, the men attending B.U.J.C. organized a baseball team in the spring of 1946. On March 14 try-outs were held and a team was selected. This year's varsity consisted of: Alfred Darte, first baseman; Martin Warm us, second baseman; Jack Reese, shortstop; George Russ, third baseman; Garfield Davis, left fielder; Jack Kloeber, center fielder; Harold Teich, right fielder; and Thomas Wahl, catcher. The pitching staff was composed of Joseph Baltrushes, Joseph Elick, Raymond Rovinsky, and Albert Valunas. Coached by Ed Podgorski and Charlie Uhlar, prominent Wilkes-Barre athletes, the Bee-Jays established a record better than that of any former B.U.J.C. baseball team. MAY PAGEANT First held on Pageant has now and presented by direction of Miss the Kirby lawn in May 1938, the May become an annual event. It is planned the girls' eurythmics classes under the Norma Sangiuliano. The most impressive part of the Pageant is the crowning of the May Queen in the presence of her court. The queen is an upper sophomore who has been selected by her classmates because of her scholastic standing and her participation in school activities. Included in the ceremony is the return of the preceding year's queen, who removes the laurel wreath from her own head, places it upon the head of the new queen, and withdraws from the scene. The May Queen, together with the ladies of her court, then mounts the throne and presides over the court. The remainder of the program-the dances and skitsis presented in the Queen's honor. Each year the theme of the pageant varies. Last year the theme was that of an orchestra, with each dance representing a different orchestration. This year the pageant is a galaxy of country dances from Europe and America. Since the Bee-Jays got off to a late start in orgamzmg a ball club, some difficulty was encountered in finding a place on the schedules of other junior colleges. HoweYer, games were finally arranged with Scranton University, Wyoming Seminary, and several teams in the Wyoming Valley League. 8 h L;,,-lhrec �Joe Swartwood John Moss Garfield Davis Si xty-four athan Brown Bill Johns Ed Witek Joe Kelly Bill Zukausky Doug MacNeal Stanley Hall Bill Walp Bob Wentz Dominick Yanchunas Ball One Batter Up A Hit Take a Goud Swing Some Wind-Up Homer?

It is our own earnest hope that this yearbook, which is primarily a student publication, will reflect the interests and activities, both academic and social, of the entire student body. As far as was possible with limitations of time and equipment, the yearbook represents the work of the students of the college. Planning, make-up, writing, and photography were handled by student staffs. The rapid growth of the school, with the ever-increasing enrollment and the continually widening interests of the students, has made possible new and varied features in our book. We have attempted to show every phase of college life, for we recognize that each has a significance in our development. The return to college of veterans has brought home to us the increasing need for a complete education, one which will prepare us for the job of securing and maintaining world peace. We feel that this, our second volume, has caught something of the spirit of the school, with its emphasis on e education of the whole individual, intellectually, physically, and socially. Four �DEDICATION To express sincere appreciation for her efforts in serving our school and community, we dedicate this second volume of our Year book to Mrs. Gertrude Marvin Williams. Her influence in the classroom is an inspiration to her many students, for she has that rare ability which assures understanding and promotes enthusiasm. After receiving the Bachelor of Arts degree at Wellesley, Mrs. Williams worked under a fellowship at Wellesley and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Later she received the Master of Arts degree from the University of Pennsylvania. As a reporter, first for ihe Boston Transcript and then for the New York Evening Sun, she gained considerable practical experience in writing. In recent years she has engaged in public relations work and free lance writing. Mrs. Williams is the author of numerous books and articles. Her first book, written in collaboration, was India's Silent R evolution. Her next book, also on India, was called Understanding India. Following this work there appeared Passionate Pilgrim, a biography of Annie Besant. Her most recent book, Priestess of the Occult, published in 1946, is a biography of Madama Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, the founder of the Theosophical Society. Mrs. Williams takes an active part in our community life. She is in demand as a speaker on various to.pies of current interest, and has participated in many forums devoted to local and national issues. Having traveled widely throughout the world, she possesses a broad understanding of our contemporary society. Mrs. Williams is associated with many organizations interested in education and government. At one time she was state president of the American Association of University Women. We consider ourselves fortunate in having a woman of such distinction as a member of our faculty. We hope by this dedication to indicate, in some degree, our appreciation of her work and her influence. �ADMINISTRATION Dr. Eugene S. Farley DIRECTOR M.R. GEORGE F . RALSTO Dean of Men Dr. Eugene S. Farley, Director of Bucknell Junior College, is responsible for guiding the administration, supervising the curriculum, and selecting the faculty. Largely through his efforts we have seen the gradual transition of our school into a four-year college. In spite of his many tasks, he has time to stop and chat with us whenever we meet him on the campus. Always ready to listen to any student's personal or academic problems, Dr. Farley has endeared himself to all of us as an adviser, professor, and director. THE DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE This has been a year of transition. :\1ISS NORMA C. SANGUILIANO Former Dean of Women MRS. JANE C. HENDERSO Dean of Women Hundreds of students have returned from the armed services and have adjusted themselves to study as a few years earlier they adapted themselves to military training, combat, and foreign lands. As they succeeded in their first adjustment so have they succeeded in this second. They have become aware that this college is "their college," and they have slowly gained a clearer vision of its meaning to them. At the same time, they have glimpsed something of its ideals and its future, and they are now doing their part to make the College a greater force in the community and the nation. As students have returned from service, other significant changes have taken place. The Trustees have raised $500,000 in endowment and in consequence the College is now enabled to extend its program to four full years of study. This will give new opportunity to our students and should enable the College to render a broader service. It is gratifying to attain this goal for which we have planned so long, but many of us will miss the old ties with Bucknell University; and for a short time, we may even think in terms of the old name rather than the new. I suspect, however, that after a few short months, the new name will be as natural to our thought as Bucknell has been since 1933. At this time, all of us should be aware and deeply appreciative of our debt to those men and women of Bucknell University whose vision created this College and brought the first opportunities in higher education to this community. Their interest and active sunnort have guided and sustained the College during its formative years; and they have promised a continuation of their assistance during this period of transition. They are "standing by" at this time so that all commitments to students, made during the years of association between the University and the Junior College, may be satisfied. I wish to express the gratitude of all of us for their past services and their continuing interest and support. MR. HERBERT J. MORRIS Registrar To all of you who have attended and formed the College, I express the hope that from your years with us you may take into the future broad vision, deep conviction, and a driving faith. We have too long been content to accept the way that is expedient rather than the way that is right. We have discovered that expediency is frequently the way to disaster. We are in need of men capable of shaping events of our day, men possessed of the knowledge that the happenings of today determine the trends of tomorrow. We must recognize that without men of vision and courage, the events of today will lead to disaster tomorrow. May each of you play some part in shaping our world as we wish it to be. May each of you shun the cynicism of despair, and discover a faith that accomplishes the impossible. Eight Nine �BOARD OF TRUSTEES The Board of Trustees is composed of men and women from every walk of life. The roster is noteworthy for the caliber of the persons who have contributed their professional experience, their time, and their money to strengthen the College. The Board includes educators as well as financiers, lawyers, doctors, and businessmen-men and women of wide experience and varied cultural interests. It is a working Board of Trustees. With its diverse business and social background the group takes up immediate issues of concern to the school and works out the details of procedure to be followed in the planning of a four-year curriculum. BOARD OF TRUSTEES Chairman Gilbert S. McCJintock Vice -Chairman Frederick J. Weckesser The Board has the interests of the students and the community ever before it. The primary concern of the group is to provide Wyoming Valley with a college that will thoroughly prepare students for a variety of vocations, at the same time training them in responsible citizenship, for they realize that the modern atomic world calls on men and women to participate in a complex, technological civilization. The Board desires that the students will be so educated that they will learn to direct their efforts toward improving themselves, their nation, and the world. It is the firm belief of the Board of Trustees that a college attended alike by Catholic, Protestant, ,a nd Jew is truly representative of American democracy. The precious code of religious toleration finds no better practice than among an interdenominational group of closely-allied students. As they work side by side and cooperate in group life, these same students come to appreciate more fully the art of living together. The way they as college students think and the way they act toward their fell ow man will help in no small way to influence those about them. By daily practice of what is to them the right way for men to live, they are instilled with a deeprooted belief in mutual toleration. It is indeed such an attitude, the Board feels, that can make permanent peace less of a poetic ideal and more of an earthly reality. Secretary The Rev. Charles S. Roush Jasper B. Carr Dr. Samuel M. Davenport Miss Annette Evans The Honorable Thomas F. Farrell Dr. Joseph J. Kocyan Reuben H. Levy Charles H. Miner, Jr. F. Ellsworth Parkhurst, Jr. Colonel J. Henry Pool The Honorable Andrew J. Sordoni Julius Long Stern Mrs. Charles E. Clift J ames P. Harris Mrs. Franck G. Darte Mrs. Sara E. Kent George W. Guckelberger Miss Mary R. Ifoon s Edward B. Mulligan ~l even �Language and ~rts First Row (left to right)-Reverend Carl J. Schindler, Martha J. Silseth, Rabbi Newton Friedman. Second Row-E l w o o d Disque, Charles N. Henderson, Paul Gies. The varjous courses in music, philosophy, the history ?f religions, and foreign languages serve to ~waken and pr~voke m t~e student an interest in our cultural and mtellectual heritage. It 1s the desire of the several departments to reveal to the student that mankind through diverse channels of communication, has sought to express profound experiences and aspirations which are common to the whole human race. With a knowledge of the cultural backgrouI.1~ of our c~vili~ation the student is better equipped to make a positive contr1but10n to our society. HISTORY Left to right-Herbert Marks, Jane Henderson, Dr. Edward J. Hartmann. The Department of History strives to give the student that basic knowledge of the social, economic, political, and intellectual foundations of our present civilization which is deemed necessary for a proper understanding of our contemporary world. Courses are offered both upon a broad basis, as in the case of the survey entitled "The History of Western Civilization," and in a specialized way, as in the respective courses dealing with concentrated periods of American and European history. In each instance, the department seeks to cooperate with the other departments of learning in developing the student in both a cultural and in a practical way. ENGLISH First Row (left to right)-D_r. Mary E. Craig, Gertrude Mar:7m Williams, Blandina Foster, Allee Williams. Political Science Second Row-Edward M. Williams, Harold Collins, Harry Barba, Joseph G. Donnelly, Alfred S. Groh. Sociology The aim of the English Department is to acquaint the stude_nt with the rich heritage he has in the Engl_is~ language, to show h~m that in overcoming its difficulties he is gammg not only a!1 out!et for his own ideas but the ability to understand and to dehght m the work of others. It is no less the function of the department to en~oura~e the student to think creatively, even dream of some day addmg h1~ ow:n small part to the sum of human knowledge, yet always to retam his love of "books, clad in black or red." Twel v~ and Left to right-Hugo V. Mailey, Constantine Symonolewicz. The immediate goal of Political Science is to present to the student the fundamental principles in government and to educate him in public responsibility and general welfare. Sociology ultimately seeks to create in the student an understanding of his obligations to the community and to teach him that an effective society is preserved only through the cooperation of all the members of the community working toward a common goal. The purpose of both departments is to arouse in the student an awareness of his responsibility as an active citizen concerned with the common problems of humanity. Thirtee n �EDUCATION PHYSICS First Row (left to right)-Dr. Carl J. Millard, Paul Miller, Anthony Hawk. First Row (left to right)-Cromwell Thomas, Voris B. Hall, Frank Petrullo. Second Row-Ralph J. W. Templin, Dr.Walter Sauvain, Dr. Eugene S. Farley. Second Row-Virgil Abbott, Robert The Department of Education has a dual purpose: to give the students a sound background ,and at the same time to g~ve them an over-all view of the American educational system. The department believes that every teacher in the American public schools must understand the relationship of the public schools to the economic, political, and social structure of the nation. Only through teachers trained in an understanding of the great ideals sought by Americans in all generations can America hope to offe:r the constructive leadership vital to a united world. COMMERCE and FINANCE First Row (left to right )-Julius Spiro, Herbert J. Morris, Clare Bedillion, Robert Smith. Second Row-Herbert Marks, Don· Holleran, Edward Heltzel. The essential purpose of the Engineering Department is the training of men for the rigorous and economic application of the fundamental sciences to the betterment of mankind. As the name engineer derives from "ingenious designer," it indicates one capable of and practiced in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of many kinds of structures. The solution of involved and interrelated pi::oblems becomes commonplace when attacked by the competent engmeer, thoroughly conversant with the basic and practical requirements of his specialized field. MATHEMATICS First Row (left to right)-Stanley Wasilewski, Mildred Hull, John Mckee. Second Row-Edwin R. Creasy, Thomas Richards, Stanley Chickson. ald Kersteen, Theodore Manley, Paul Werner, James Laggan. The Commerce and Finance Department instructs the student in business principles and practice. It divides the. student's time about equally between business and general academic courses. Its objective is to prepare him for general business Jjfe, for secretarial positions, and for the teaching of commercial subjects. A diversified program which includes Liberal Arts electives enables the student to secure a comprehensive knowledge of economic theory and practice. With this background the student ~ay better realize that the security of each member of the commumty is the foundation for a sound economic world. ·' · ' Fou1·teen The Department of Mathematics aims primarily to give students the basic mathematical ideas, and, secondarily, to relate these ideas to other brancq.es of human endeavor. It hopes to create respect for sound logic and for precise definitions. By pointing out the indispensability of the assumption in all human reasonino- it tries to impart humility. It demonstrates to students that the""~elationship between mathematics and the physical world is one only of correspondence, not of causality. Finally, it dares to expect that some students will taste the sheer joy in the intellectual adventure which can be found in the subject. Fifle: n �CHEMISTRY Left to right-H. Willard Bur::hard, Bernard Neivelt, Catherine Bone, Walter Margie, Henry Steinmann The aim of the Chemistry Department may be divided into two parts; namely, to teach chemistry as an art and to teach chemistry as a science. Chemistry as an art deals with the learning of the various chemical processes applicable to industry, whereas chemistry as a science deals with the study of the fundamentals underlying the chemical processes. It is the purpose of this department to train the student in these two phases of chemistry to such an extent that he will be stimulated in creative thinking, reasoning, and imagination. BIOLOGY Left to right-Edith Namisniak, Dr. Charles B. Reif, Dr. Lenore Ward, Edward Pugh. The aim of the Department of Biology is fourfold: one may le::irn t!1e scientific method; he may develop his powers of learning thro;..1gh observations in the laboratory and in the field; he may acqt ire the facts of plant and animal life which include a broad view of evolut~on and m!ln's place in nature; and, most important, he may devdop an aesthetic appreciation of the living beauty in the world of which he is a part and thus find a fuller and more enjoyable life.

WALLA CE JONES WILKES-BARRE BS At the time we planned our Yearbook, our school had two students who could properly be classified as members of the Senior Class. These two men had enrolled in Bucknell Junior College several years ago, but had had their education interrupted by tours of duty in the armed forces. By June of 1948 when the first senior class will graduate, our two seniors, together with other classmates, will share the honor of graduating from the first senior class. JUNIORS The students appearing in this picture constitute only a small portion of our Junior Class. This class entered the Junior College with intentions of finishing two years of work, but now many .o f them hope to be among the first graduating class when our school becomes a four year college. Our upper classmen reflect the desire held by many people in Wyoming Valley for a four year coeducational college. First Row (left to right)-Dominick Yanchunas.

KIRBY HALL ' Impressive as it stands amid tall trees and green shrubbery, ivy-covered Kirby Hall has become since its donaticn in 1941 a building symbolic of Bucknell Junior College. Students crossing the paths from Chase Hall and from the other buildings find Kirby Hall a center of activity. Downstairs is located the office of the college newspaper where our prospective journalists gather material for the weekly issues of the Beacon. Also on the first floor we find the typing rooms for commercial students, several other classrooms, and a few faculty offices. The wide stairway leads us upstairs to the school library; we have all made use of the library's collection of books and periodicals as material for required reading and research. In the third floor music room many of us first realized a true appreciation of music. Kirby Hall will remain in our minds as one of our favorite buildings in our days at Bucknell. {First Row- Reading Down) .FTER CLASS DISCUSSION EVERYBODY'S HAPPY IlA CH, BEETHOVEN, OR SPIVAK A Forty-two Y FINES TODAY?

In the music rooms of the first floor we hear the familiar sounds of students practicing their voice and piano exercises. The second and third floors have been remodeled to provide two apartments for faculty members and their families. Of the music rooms, three are used for practice and recitation and one is used as a music museum. During the week, the practice rooms are the scene of many vocal and piano lessons given by Professor Paul Gies or Mr. Charles Henderson. In the music museum are several rare old instruments, including a Bach pipe organ, a harpsichord, and a viola da gambla. From this room have emanated bi-weekly half-hour broadcasts on Friday afternoons through the facilities of a local radio station. One of these programs was prepared by the Choral Club, whereas the rest pertained to such instruments as the organ, the piano, and the harpsichord, and to compositions written for these instruments during the different periods. By the stream of students coming to or from lessons every twenty minutes and by the strains of music pouring forth from its windows, the Stoddard building is easily recognizable to passers-by as another evidence of the growth of Bucknell Junior College.

Students following courses in the sciences can be found hard at work in the laboratories, conducting physics experiments, carrying on microscopic investigations in biology and zoology or forming solutions and precipitates in the chemistry laboratory. Most of us are aware of the confusion of sounds and smells emanating from the laboratories when classes are in session-and even on Saturday mornings, as our energetic chemists seek to analyze their ''unknowns." In addition to the well-equipped laboratories, Conyngham Hall has several classrooms for lectures in the sciences. A large drafting room on the third floor accommodates many of our engineers' drawing classes. Conyngham's long pillared porch is the scene of many informal discussions between students and faculty, and men and women often linger after school hours to exchange bits of campus news. For ten years Conyngham Hall has been the center of our science department at Bucknell Junior College. This is one building which will surely be visited when students return in the coming years. !~\ ,, ~~- \ i CONYNGHAM HALL (Fi rst Row- Reading Down) For ty-six ( Second Row- Reading Down ) (Third Row-Reading Down ) HERE'S LOOKIN' AT YOU NERVES OF STEEL INCUBATOR BABIES RENDEZVOUS THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS WHICH END'S UP 7 ASPIRING SCIENTISTS BOTTLES.

Weckesser. The building was first used as a home for the Director, and as meeting place for several small classes in music. From April 1942 until February 1944 it was used as headquarters and infirmary for the Sixth College Training Detachment of the Army Air Forces. In September 1944 Weckesser Hall became the girls' dormitory. Those of us who were in residence in "Weck" Hall remember with pleasure the cheerful songfests around the piano in the reception room, the friendly get-togethers in the smoking room, and the hustle of preparations for the Beta Gamma Chi teas. On Saturday mornings the cellar and the second floor ironing room were always crowded spots, with girls downstairs washing clothes or waiting in line for the tubs while other girls upstairs pressed clothes. Second and third story rooms served as our bedrooms, each of better than average size and each accommodating two or three girls. Miss Norma C. Sangiuliano was dormitory housemother from 1944 to December 1946. Our present housemother is Mrs. Katherine Mayo Alderfer. ~ - - < --, l (First Row-Reading Down) (Second Row-Reading Down) (Third Row- Reading Down) STUDY HOUR "GOING HOME" TlfE ATHLETES HEADLINE NEWS JUST LIKE HOME HECKLERS ORATION SONG-FEST IT'S MY TURN!

Previously, students from out of town were required to find rooms throughout the city, but now the College has provided a residence for men students in the large Payne home at 158 South River Street. Mr. George Ralston, dean of men, is the faculty member in charge. With thirty men in the building this year, every available space was taken. The second and third floor rooms were shared by two, three, or four men. Here we slept, read, and studied. The rest of our time we spent in leisure in the first floor lounges and recreation rooms, talking, smoking, reading magazines, or playing ping-pong. Many gatherings to which the entire student body was invited were held in the lounge during the year. The first floor also has a snack bar, open at night from 9 :30 to 10 :30 Monday through Friday, where those late evening pangs of hunger can be appeased. Those of us who lived in the dormitory shall remember for many years the arguments we used to have about the merits of our respective states of New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. We shall also remember the good times we had on Sunday nigh ts when we were allowed to prepare our own suppers. We have found that residence in a dormitory is valuable in giving us a feeling of association and intimacy with our fellow students, The companionship found in a group of men with the same ambitions and the same striving for learning will always be remembered.

Both the official bulletin board and the student activities bulletin board, which inform us of future activities, are located in the main entrance of this building. The large reception room on the first floor facing River Street is used for various activities, such as teas, discussions, and club meetings. Many of us gather during the lunch hour to sing or just to listen to someone play the piano. On the second floor of Chase Hall is the women's lounge. It is a spacious room which affords the women students a place to relax between classes and to carry on discussions. On the third floor is the men's lounge which serves the same purposes for the men. Recent improvements to the building have made it possible to include offices of the Literary Magazine and the book store, making Chase Hall the hub of our college activity.

This building houses the Guidance Center for veterans in this area and every man and woman veteran student must pass through the center. The guidance procedure of the center starts with a trained counselor who interviews the veteran in order to determine his mental ability, interests, personality adjustment, and specific aptitudes. A picture of the vocational situation in the field suitable to his capacities is presented to the veteran, and he is thus helped to arrive at a vocational objective. Not only have veterans received vocational guidance at the center, but others have also made use of its library of catalogues of universities and colleges, including technical and vocational schools, schools of art, and business schools. Mr. John A. Hall is the director of the Guidance Center, representing our College; and Mr. Daniel E. Thomas is the acting chief of the Guidance Center, representing the Veterans Administration. Miss Kathryn E. Dominguez, of our faculty, is in charge of the Center of Psychology.

The rooms in these buildings have been remodeled into modern classrooms; tile floors and fluorescent lighting have been installed to transform them into some of the most pleasant rooms on our campus. Plenty of blackboard space makes the rooms especially useful for mathematics classes, but several other lectures are also given in the center, and faculty meetings are held there once a month. Throughout the past wet winter we could usually see some of our students armed with slide rules and handbooks making a path in the newly fallen snow, jumping the puddles left by the rain, or plowing through the muddy ground on their way to classes in the rear. Although the Mathematics Center constitutes a small area of our college campus, nevertheless it plays an important part as a center of our activities. Conyngham Annex, one of the buildings new to our campus, is located behind Conyngham Hall. Several different departments hold classes here each day in two bright, modernly-equipped classrooms. Throughout the school day many students pursuing various fields of study, such as English, history, sociology, mathematics, and engineering meet here in the Annex. One can usually find our engineers working with their drawing boards and T-squares in one room and some of our other students listening to a lecture in the other. When the time comes to change classes, we see students going to and from this building, dodging cars and chatting about the events of the day and the points of discussion in the lectures, as they follow along the driveway beside Conyngham Hall or as they cut across the campus to P .C.H. Conyngham Annex has added to the facilities of Bucknell, and with the two large lecture rooms has aided in the scheduling of classes.

Here the dormitory students come together three times a day for meals. In order to enable our men and women residing at the domitories to attain a better familiarity and comradeship, the seating arrangements are changed frequently during the school year. Each member of the faculty who sits with the students at meals helps to create a spirit of good fellowship between the faculty and the student body. An eavesdropper on conversation at breakfast, lunch, or dinner would likely hear many sorts of discussions and comments on campus affairs and life in a dormitory. In addition to the dining room, this building has a lounge for the use of resident students and apartments upstairs which are occupied by faculty members. The second floor houses several offices of the English and Mathematics Departments. In fact, almost any day of the week our mathematics students can be seen trekking to the department offices for help in some complicated problem, as our fell ow English students in the offices next door discuss the inevitable term-paper difficulties.

At first, the restaurant was open only from twelve to one o'clock each day, accommodating thirty students at one time. Last October, as a result of our increased enrollment, the present cafeteria was opened. The new building can now seat well over one hundred people. At lunch time and between classes, groups of students can be seen along the serving counter and at the "coke" machine on the first floor. On the second floor, where the atmosphere is not so busy, we may enjoy a leisurely after lunch chat with our fellow students. The cafeteria is also available to special groups and parties at night. The original staff has increased to eight people, five of whom are students. Mrs. Brennan is assisted by Mrs. Edith Thomas and Mrs. Etta Jacoby. Familiar to us all ar e fellow students Thomas Evans, Richard Conklin, Joseph Pringle, Naomi Hons, and Leon Gilbert. 1 I> , m AFTER LUNCH 7 p. m •................................................................

RUSH HOUR THE CAFETERIA S TAFF Sixt;v-one �BOOK STORE ! ~~~~~---~ \ The growth of the book store is typical of the expansion that has taken place in all departments of the college. Just one year ago, the book sbre was opened as a separate unit at 191 South Franklin Street. When larger quarters were needed, last fall the book store moved to its present location on the lower floor of Chase Hall where 1200 students are now being taken care of. As we were passing the time of day with Miss Gittins, who is in charge of the store, she told us of the problems she has had in supplying students with books and paper in this period of shortages. She said that shortages of language books and drawing papers were most apparent. It seems, however, that the shortage has not affected the supply or demand of the Kierzek Practice of Composition because it still is the most used of all the textbooks. Not all activity of the book store is caused by the issuance of supplies, for it is also the center of distribution for tickets for our many social activities. The book store is a gathering place for many people during the course of the day. There are always people there to get newspapers and tickets, or to inquire about missing text books or lost articles. P. C. H. We are all familiar with the long trek up the three flights of steps in PCH on the way to the many rooms upstairs that are used for our various classes. As we reach the top of the stairs we are greeted with the sounds of foreign songs being played on the phonograph or sung by the language groups, for the language department holds here weekly classes in German, French, Spanish, and Polish. On the third floor hall, lined with men and women changing classes, we hear the many language students trying out their conversational ability. In addition to the smaller rooms, there is a large lecture room located in the front of PCH which serves as a special classroom for crowded survey courses and also as a convenient room for conducting final examinations. We also make use of the first floor auditorium for dances, parties, and assembly programs. Added to the campus of Bucknell Junior College for the time being, PCH, an addition to our College, has aided greatly in relieving the critical shortage of classroom space.

We of the yearbook staff have looked upon our magazine as just such an important project and have striven to give the students the best possible remembrance of their college days.

These were planned to include candid campus shots and formal class and club pictures. Overcoming the usual handicaps that present themselves, the staff succeeded in turning out a fine collection of pictures. In the early spring these pictures had to be assembled, the best ones selected, and the individuals appearing in them identified. The business staff zealously canvassed the merchants of the city and outlying districts for ads, meeting competition from many sources. The quota was finally met, and the staff spent the remainder of the time in making collections on the ads. We are all most appreciative of the cooperation that we received from the merchants. Last fall at the first general meeting of the yearbook staff, we elected the editors of the editorial, photographic, and business staffs, and at a later meeting, the managing editor. After several meetings the staffs were organized and work was started immediately in all departments. JOSEPH PRI GLE Business Manager BUSINESS STAFF First Row (left to right) - Joseph Pringle.

The editorial staff had the job of writing the articles on every phase of school life and the herculean task of planning and assembling all the materials into one unit. This task was begun by deciding exactly how much space to allot to each section of the book. Then a dummy was sketched in for us by a professional artist. The diary theme as well as the sketches of the main buildings, carried throughout the book, was chosen to give a personal touch often found lacking in a school publication. Finally, we decided upon candid shots of each activity to complement the usual formal pictures. The last minutes of work included, among other things, the final checking of the articles which had been submitted. After two semesters, the annual is finished and ready for distribution to all the students. We hope that our second yearbook will provide an interesting pictorial and written account of our days at college. NELSON E. ELSO Managing Editor PHOTO EDITORS Carl Shonk, John Burak.

Sixty-five �One of the important aims of the Beacon is its policy of allowing the student to express himself. Whether this expression takes the form of news articles, fictional matter, cartoons and pictures, or ~etters ~o the editor, an opportunity 1s provided for the student to give voice to his opinions. We feel that freedom of speech is essential in a paper published by students. BEACON STAFF Since it was founded on October 4, 1934, the Beacon has developed until it has become an integral part of Bucknell Junior College. With the rapid growth of our college came the simultaneous growth of its newspaper. The Beacon has adapted itself to reflect student interests and the ever-changing conditions of our expanding college program. Like all good newspapers, the Beacon consists of more than straight news stories. While the new constitution was being formed the Beacon took student polls and printed student letters written to the editor expressing our views on this vital issue. In this way it fulfilled one of its main purposes: that of providing the students with an outlet for their opinions. The various editorials afford the paper the opportunity to express its opinion on matters of the moment and to defend its policies. THOMAS MORAN Editor The many feature columns add color and life to the paper. For those of us who are sports fans the "Sports Beacon" provides accounts of the games played, predictions of scores for coming games, and discussions of various teams and team members. "On the Beam," the popular column, keeps us well informed about happenings around the campus. A column which delights the girls is ''Fashion Highlights." . Recent additions to the Beaco:1 are "Borrowed Bits" and "Sullivan Says." "Borrowed Bits" provides humor, a necessary part of all our lives. As the name implies, the jokes and humorous stories printed in this column are borrowed fr om other college papers. "Sullivan Says" is a personal view of sports happenings. This column also relates many interesting stories about famous teams and players. As Bucknell Junior College draws ever closer to its goal, that of establishing a four-year curriculum the Beacon will take an even mor~ important place in the activities of the school.

STUDENT COUNCIL The student body of Bucknell University Junior College is governed by a student council, which is in turn governed by the student constitution. This year we decided, in accordance with the revised constitution, to elect to the council six freshman, five sophomores, three juniors, and one senior. The number of representatives in future years will be determined by the size of each class. After a spirited poster campaign which provoked much thought and discussion, we were finally ready to cast our votes. In the student council, we have a group of students who have realized their responsibilities and have worked hard to fulfill them. They have conscientiously considered each item presented to them. Without this fine group, Bucknell would not have had such a smooth running program of student activities during this past year. We hope that the precedents and ideals established by our present student council will prove to be an inspiration to their successors. • STUDENT CONSTITUTION COMMITTEE At the request of our student body a new constitution was written last fall for Bucknell. We elected a constitutional committee consisting of thirteen representatives, comprised of all the class groups, and representing all the various courses. This committee elected its own officers· John Riley, Chairman ; Joe Savi tz, Assistant Chairman ; Agnes Novak, Secretary; and Marie Stamer, As- sistant to the Secretary. It was the job of the group to change a largely outmoded and impractical constitution, caused by the influx of veteran students and the rapidly growing enrollment of the College, into one more satisfactory to our students. We gave ample evidence of our satisfaction with the results of the diligent work of our committee by passing the new constitution by a large majority. After elections, the members of the new student council elected their officers. The president conducted bi-weekly meetings, assisted by the vicepresident. The secretary was required by the constitution to post minutes of each meeting on the official bulletin boards throughout the school for the student body to read. Because of this requirement, and because meetings were open to anyone, we took a more active interest in the council proceedings than we had at any previous time. The treasurer was responsible for the student activities fund and the budgets of the various organizations. COU CIL MEETING Six ty-eig ht Six ty-nine �BETA GAMMA CHI 7 Left to Right- Fait h Davis, Rhuea Willia m s, Jane Korper . An important feature of our lives at Bucknell is the sorority, Beta Gamma Chi. Every woman registering at the College automatically becomes a member of the organization and during her college years plays a large part in its activities. Early in the fall 1946-47 term, a committee appointed by the president drew up a schedule of social activities for the year. It chose as its first function a welcome tea for the freshman women, which was held in Weckesser Hall. In December another tea was held at which we all enjoyed a reading of a current Broadway hit. Just before the start of the Christmas recess we held in the college cafeteria a banquet to which each girl brought a part of the food to be served. During the meal, inexpensive presents were distributed by ''Santa Claus." In January all of us enjoyed the informal "coke" party held at the women's dormitory. On February 14, 1947, Beta Gamma Chi invited the entire student body to attend the Sweetheart Ball at the Irem Temple Country Club. The affair was the first major social function in the Sorority's thirteen-year history. The wives of veteran students at the College received special invitations from us and were encouraged to attend. An ever-popular hay ride and wiener roast was held at Sgarlat Lake in the spring. Students of the entire college gathered around the open fire for singing and the occasional telling of jokes or ghost stories. · In May we entertained the mothers of both men and women students of the College at a tea in Weckesser Hall. A speaker was engaged for the entertainment of the guests, and after her talk the officers of the sorority spoke to the mothers on the organization and purposes of Beta Gamma Chi. Meetings of the sorority are held twice each month in the women's lounge of Chase Hall. We firmly believe in the democratic way in which Beta Gamma Chi functions and feel proud that we have helped prove workable the plan of unlimited membership. We are grateful for the opportunity of learning to work successfully in a group toward a common goal.

TENNIS CLUB GOOD FORM Seventy-two Continuing with its expansion in the collegiate sports world, Bucknell Junior College finished the semester by adding tennis to the athletic agenda as the final sport of the year. In February twenty interested camera enthusiasts banded together and formulated a set of principles to govern an organization to be known as the Camera Club. At our first meeting we selected three officers and selected a faculty adviser, Mr. Ned Williams. The team was first proposed by a group of junior college students who had played a considerable amount of tennis during their scholastic and service days. The proposal of a tennis team was enthusiastically received by George F. Ralston, director of athletics. Mr. Ralston offered to help the people interested in tennis by writing to many of the other colleges and arranging a fourteen-game schedule. Following recognition by the Student Council, we formulated an active program of events for the remainder of the year, including lectures by prominent local photographers, demonstrations of photographic and darkroom technique, and practical application of the basic fundamentals illustrated. CAMERA CLUB To inaugurate our program, we presented on March 7 technicolor motion pictures taken by Navy photographers of the closing phases of the Pacific war. These were supplemented by an interesting commentary by Granville Rice, local photographer, who had assisted in taking many shots. The first contest was played in the middle of March, and before the season closed at the end of May, the Bucknell team had engaged such college tennis teams as Lehigh, Susquehanna, Cornell, Princeton, Syracuse, Wyoming Seminary, and Keystone. Most of the contests were played on a homeand-home basis, with approximately five of the matches being played on local courts. Later in the semester, a lecture by a representative of the Eastman Kodak Company acquainted us with the newest equipment and processes in the field of photography. The foundation has been laid by this year's team for a much stronger team next year. In view of the magnificent spirit that the men have displayed this past season, tennis will undoubtedly be established on a permanent basis at Bucknell Junior College next year. By the next tennis season there will be many candidates for the 1948 squad, and with this year's team strengthened by the newcomers, Bucknell will make a good showing on the courts next season. During the course of the year we helped to construct a darkroom in the basement of Conyngham Hall for the use of the Yearbook Photo Staff in cooperation with the Camera Club. What was once waste space is now a neat, fully equipped ?arkroom in which we have toiled many long hours keepmg up-to-date with assignments given us by the Yearbook. Th1;1s one of our purposes has been accomplished: that of furt_hermg our knowledge in the techniques of developing, enlargmg, and printing.

The Engineers constitute the largest group in our college. Because they think and act alike while working to achieve the same goal, the Engineers are very closely knit even though they have formed no formal club. ENGINEERS SILHOUETTE Seventy-fo ur It is necessary for the Engineers to specialize because of the vast range of modern engineering technique. Research, development and design, construction, operation, and production are all general fields toward which the student may work. Each of the five specific fields of study gives the student a heavy schedule upon which to concentrate. One of these fields is Aeronautical Engineering, for which the student must take the basic Mechanical Engineering course. In Mechanical Engineering, the student is responsible for the design, construction, and maintenance of the machinery used in transportation and in other fields of engineering. Chemical Engineering apJ)iies to the broad field of chemical industry. The Chemical Engineer may engage in research, or in the development of a process which begins in the laboratory and continues through the experimental stage to the commercial plant. Civil Engineering deals with the problems in structural, highway, railroad, hydraulic, and sanitary engineering, and with surveying and geodesy. The field of Electrical Engineering includes studies in the economic problems in electrical power plant construction and plant operation, radio circuits, and electronics. The three objectives of our former Engineers' Club can still be applied to our students in the Engineering Department: education of men and women, the building of character, and the advancement of knowledge. The Thespians was organized in 1936 by a group of eleven students. After a few years in temporary quarters on Northampton Street, the theater group moved to its present location on South River Street. Through the years the Thespians have developed into one of the best organized activities here at the College. The dramatic group has maintained t radition and untiring cooperation as the two most important qualifications in its organization. DRAMATICS Last year fire broke out and gutted Chase Theater making it necessary for its production Strindberg's' "The Father," to move to the Presbyterian Church House where t~e remaining performances were given. Following the disastrous fire _the theater was repaired, and improvements were added to mcrease the accommodations. . At the beginning of the present year, as our student body mcre3:sed: provisions were made to enlarge the Thespians' orgamzat10n, thereby giving a greater majority of students a better opportunity to receive the benefits of the theater. Th~s organization provides opportunities in many fields of ~heat~1cal work. Anyone working in the theater may engage m actmg, c?stuming, advertising, stage managing, collecting ?f P~operhes, l.ighting, painting, carpentry, designing, or mtenor decoratmg. . Faithful attendance and a cooperative spirit are essential ~n the organization. The value of these qualities is well realized after long hours of rehearsing when the play is finally Produced. Throughout the school year, former Thespian 11:embers return to the campus to renew friendships and t o discuss the things they once did. Every term the Thespians present at ~east two three-act plays. All productions are under the direction of Miss Blandina Foster.

' PRE-MEDICAL SOCIETY The Pre-Medical Society, formerly the Pre-Medical Club, has this past year grown to be one of the most active 01·ganizations on the campus. It has fulfilled its purpose well: that of acquainting the Pre-Medical students with the practices and improvements in the world of medicine. The organization started the fall semester with ib; annual tour of Retreat Mental Hospital. Once again the revolutionary electric-shock treatment was demonstrated and individual interviews were held with patients suffering from various forms of illness. A tour of the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital wc: s effected, followed by an interesting tour of the White Haven Sanitar ium. Here, the students were able to comprehend more clearly the phases of tuberculosis through X-ray pictures, actual case histories, and patient interviews. SOCIOLOGY CLUB The Sociology Club of our college has as its purpose the discussion of important problems of the day. We invite guest speakers once a month to discuss labor conditions, crime, and other topics of sociological interest. In past gatherings Mr. Leon Schwartz, local district attorney, spoke on juvenile delinquency, and Mr. A. Stuart Powell, probation officer of Luzerne County, discussed causes of divorce and its effect on society. After these and other talks, our Sociology Club conducted informal question and discussion periods. The programs, which were planned in advance, helped Membership in the Sociology Club is open to all Junior College students. Our committee for the procurement of speakers is constantly at work engaging prominent men throughout Wyoming Valley to speak at our club meeting. Mr. Constantine Symonolewicz, Assistant Professor of Sociology, serves as our adviser. RESEARCH I FORMAL REPORT establish a valuable feeling of friendship among many students and gave us a better understanding of important and timely social problems. Before scheduling a tour of medical centers in Philadelphia, where the group witnessed an operation on a fivemonths old child at Hahnemann Hospital, several interesting lectures were presented. Among them were a demonstrati ontalk concerning the new surgical suturing instrument, developed by the Singer Sewing Machine Company, and a lecture by Dr. Jon Evans, noted obstetrician. FUTURE DOCTORS PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE Seven t y-eight The Society had the privilege of visiting the famous Guthrie Clinic of the Packer Memorial Hospital in Sayre, and witnessed demonstrations of the cancer research conducted there. Once again, at the Clinic, as at every one of the institutions visited by the Society, the unselfish, understanding attitude displayed by the doctors and staffs was most admirable.

LITERARY MAGAZINE The first edition of the Manusc1·ipt, our literary magazine, was published in May under the sponorship of the English Department. Complete charge of the magazine was in the hands of a staff chosen from the student body. The student body not only elected the editors of the magazine but also contributed all the articles which were published. The publication was brought out with the purpose of encouraging students to do work of sound literary merit by providing a journal for the serious writing that many of them had been doing. students was rewarded with a variety of articles, including poems, short stories, biographies, and essays. In addition there was a great deal of interesting material done for class assignments that was submitted to the magazine by the instructors. Plans for a literary magazine had been under consideration for many years, but it was not until this spring that the finished product was realized. The English Department submitted a list of names which was voted upon by the students at assembly in order to elect an editor, two associate, and two assistant editors. After work was started on the magazine, the need for a larger staff became evident, and many more students were appointed. At the present time plans are for one edition of the magazine to appear each semester; if occasion demands, it will· be published even more often. Material will be collected during the summer and fall semesters for the fall edition of the Manuscript which the staff hopes to make even better than the present spring edition. Since the magazine relied solely on the contributions of the students for its existence, the problem to be faced was to coax those hidden manuscripts from the rather modest poets and essayists. All the effort spent in reaching the various The Manusc·ript was distributed to all the students of the college at the end of May, and copies were sent by the exchange staff to colleges and universities in all sections of the United States. The faculty advisers on the magazine are: Dr. Mary E. Craig, Mrs. Gertrude Marvin Williams, and Mr. Harold Collins. The staff of the literary magazine and their advisers should be complimented for having taken the initiative in fostering a new publication. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB The International Relations Club was organized on the principle of bringing like-minded students together and providing a forum and outlet for dis. cussion. At our first meeting in December we decided that the purpose of our club would be to enlighten public opinion. Our club was not to support exclusively any one view on the conditions prevailing throughout the world but was to fix the attention of students on those principles underlying international commerce, law, and organization which must be agreed upon and put into action if a peaceful civilization is to continue. In a later meeting we decided that the club would also adopt these general policies : To educate the students and arouse their interest in international affairs by free criticism and discussion. To make the students realize that the problems besetting the world are intricate because of the difference in the economic and governmental institutions of the nations of the world and that there are many solutions to each problem. To acquaint the students with the proper methods of conducting and of participating in group discussions. To develop powers of leadership in students, our future civic leaders. The club received books and magazines from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace chosen to meet current needs and to aid in our' study and discussion. Our c]ub preserved these volumes as a part of a permanent collection. The books were prominently displayed in the school library shortly after their arrival and then were accessible to all. In March we sent a delegation to represent Bucknell University Junior College at the model legislature held at Harrisburg. In April we sent a delegation of members to the Intercollegiate Conference on Government which was held this year at Marywood College. This organization originated in 1933 at the University of Pittsburgh and began to sponsor annual meetings at Pennsylvania colleges and universities the following year. �First Row (left to right)-Jean Dougherty, Nelda Broun stein, Rosemary Zukoski.

The Club is composed of men and women who meet once a week to sing because they enjoy singing and because they are not averse to putting forth a little effort in order to prepare a program for assembly or broadcasting. Professor Paul Gies is director of the chorus. The Choral Club has two social affairs during the year: the Christmas party and the outing. At all other times the schedule for the chorus calls for work. Since the scores are not allowed to be removed from the music room by the club members, intensive effort is required to learn the choral numbers in the short time available for rehearsals. The Choral Club made its first appearance of the year at a Christmas recital and party on Saturday afternoon, December 14, in Kirby Hall. This Program was arranged especially for parents and friends. Mr. Charles Henderson was accompanist and Miss Helen Nicoll was soprano soloist. The ~ame program was repeated the following Tuesday m assembly for the student body. TUESDAY AT 11 Eighty-two A special chorus chosen from the Choral Club members assisted in the Friday broadcasts originating in our school of music. The broadcasts were held every other Friday at 4 p. m. The special chorus sang on this half-hour program in March and April. All the members of the Choral Club took part in the Easter concert held in assembly in April. The program consisted of Latin Church music. The girls of the Choral Club have formed a female chorus that performs on the various programs. They have done some excellent work on women's choral arrangements. The last assembly of the Choral Club was the annual outing at which everyone had a chance to relax and enjoy himself. A year of hard work ended with a well-earned holiday. Among the future plans for the Choral Club is a male chorus which will propably be organized in the fall. Other plans are centered around an even larger choral group of more members and more music.

GERMAN CLUB In the fall semester of 1946 a group of students in the German classes decided to reorganize the German Club. Those of us interested in the formation of a club circulated the news among the students in the German classes to see if they approved of the idea. The response was immediate and wholehearted, and within three weeks our plans for organization had been drafted and approved. Since its inception the German Club has never suffered from lack of support. Every student realizes that by participation he can gain a greater knowledge of German, and consequently everyone looks forward to the meetings. The main reason for satisfactory attendance has been the spirit of complete informality with which the meetings have been planned and carried out. Because we always speak in German, we frequently make mistakes, but these are used as a source of laughter and not criticism: A friendly spirit is always aroused among the club members when we sing German songs. We find, too, that these vocal sessions are a great aid in increasing our speaking vocabulary. During the last year our club has sponsored many activities both for members and the whole student body. We have had song festivals, dances, and parties, which were open to the whole school. At the regular club meetings we were fortunate in having special speakers and motion pictures. It is hoped that during the years to come the present foundations on which the club has bee11 built will be used to strengthen and increase our activities.

POLISH CLUB Along with the formation of Polish classes here at the college, our Polish Club was organized to promote an interest in the study of the Polish language and the Slavic culture and literature and to assist our students in the use of practical Polish. This club, under the sponsorship of Mr. Constantine Symonolewicz, is composed of active members and social members; the active members being required to complete the study of at least one semester of the Polish language. One of our representatives, Mrs. John Steinhauer, was on the advisory council of the Polish Arts Club in Chicago, an organization with which the Polish Club is affiliated. The initial social event sponsored by our organizat:on was a dinner held at the Polish Veterans' Club. After Polish music set the atmosphere for the evening, several local speakers discussed topics of interest to us. The next social event on the calendar of affairs of the Polish Club was held in February in Chase Hall. We saw impressive films on the bombing of Europe and the reconstruction of Warsaw. At one of our meet~ngs in March, Dr. Thaddeus Mitana, the well-known Polish-American lecturer and educator, spoke to us about the moral confusion in the world today. Among the other affairs we have planned is a drive for funds to establish a Slavic Cultural Center here at Bucknell Junior College. The purpose of this center will be to create a lively interest within this community for the way of life of the Slavic nations.

SPANISH CLUB Spanish Club Cuban Trip This year we organized a Spanish Club which we n:.tmed Mas O Menos (More or Less), the title being applicable to conversational Spanish. Miss Martha Silseth, faculty adviser for the group, felt that such an organization would give to those of us who study Spanish the opportunity of living the language. We decided to speak only Spanish in our weekly club meetings. During this past spring forty-seven of us were fortunate enough to participate in an exciting educational adventure-a trip by train and plane to Havana, Cuba. The trip, which was sponsored by Miss Martha Silseth of the Spanish Department, proved to be the most exciting event of ~he year. Months before the date for departure arrived, our main topic of conversation was what we planned to do and see in Havana. Every week brought about new topics for speculation, and as the time for the trip drew near, we began to have meetings and teas. A tea was held on Sunday, March 31, in Chase Hall and on the following Thursday we left Lehigh Vailey Railroad Station bound for Miami. Early in the year we had an illustrated lecture on Mexico which was followed at the next meeting by a talk on the habits and customs in Guatemala. Recordings of plays and Spanish films, lent to the scho:::>l by various cultural and business organizations, were also on our programs. Our club held its first large affair at the Fort Durkee Hotel, where we were treated to a complete Spanish program, including a Spanish dinner prepared by the chef, a former resident of Madrid. The second large affair was the International Vesper Musicale held at St. Paul's Lutheran Church. In March we had a Spring Fiesta Dance at Irem Temple Country Club. (Top) SPEAKERS' TABLE (Bottom) GUESTS Eighty-six The climax of the activities for the Spanish club was the trip to Havana, Cuba, during the first week of April. The members of Mas O Menos ~an certainly be proud of a year of great accomplishments. After a pleasant plane trip from Miami we arrived at Havana and went to the Royal Palms Hotel for a good night's sleep. The next day we began to tour the main points of interest. Activities were many and varied in the foreign city. Sw:mming at the private pools and beaches, dancing at the famous night clubs, and visiting historiC3.l buildings took up most of our time. We ~aw the ancient Morro Castle, the Cathedral of Christopher Columbus, and a beautiful memorial erected in honor of the sailors of the USS Maine. Our group was also invited to visit the University of Havana, where we heard lectures in Spanish and toured the buildings. After a fascinating week in the foreign city everyone returned to Bucknell and settled down, rather reluctantly, to a normal life.

FRENCH CLUB The French Club, with the assistance of Miss Martha Silseth and Mr. Elwood Disque, has been newly organized this year by those of us who hope to promote an interest in the advancement of the French culture and language and to obtain proficiency in the language by practicing formal and informal conversation. Although at times conversational French seemed to be the most difficult to master, we all enjoyed the lectures presented by students from abroad, by French war brides, and by other speakers who inspired our weekly meetings and teas. To aid us in gaining a picture of the life and spirit of France we saw movies from the French Cultural Sbciety, listened to records, and sang many songs. The schedule of activities of our club included chapel programs, parties, informal get-togethers, and dinners. FRENCH CLUB MEETING Ninety-two We are eagerly awaiting a group trip to Montreal where we shall have an opportunity to put our conversational ability to the test. In addition to social activities our group hopes to sponsor in the near future an elaborate exhibit of French articles of furniture, apparel, jewelry, and ornaments. In cooperation with the French Office at Paris, proceeds from this exhibit will be used to send bundles of food and clothing to some of the many needy students in France.

Last October a group of men who had participated in sports at this school were interested in forming a Lettermen's Club. After conferring with Coach George F. Ralston, the group of sixty members drew up a constitution and decided to have monthly meetings to discuss athletic policies, to plan for outings and activities, and to create interest in athletic contests. Every male student who has won the Bucknell monogram is entitled to belong to the Lettermen's Club. The letter is awarded for participation in one or more intercollegiate sports at our College-football, basketball, baseball, tennis, or wrestling. As set forth in its constitution, the Lettermen's Club seeks: To assist the College in all branches of campus endeavor. To give special assistance in the administration of college athletics. To foster due recognition for efforts expended in inter-collegiate athletics. To cultivate interest in athletics. To assist the faculty committee on athletics. Since its formation, the club has sponsored two social affairs: the Christmas Dance and the April Showers Ball. In the future, the club plans to sponsor at least one major social event every semester. LETTERMEN'S CLUB �The annual Alumni Christmas Dance held in the Crystal Ballroom of the Hotel Sterling proved one of the high spots of our social calendar. Jack Melton and his orchestra provided the music. Ninety-Iout• This year's Christmas dance was sponsored by the newly-formed Lettermen's Club. Held at the Irem Temple in Wilkes-Barre, the dance was made gay by the traditional holiday decorations. We danced to the music of Jack Barrett's orchestra. Ninety-five �One of the most colorful social events of the year was the Spring Fiesta, held in March at the Irem Temple Country Club. Lee Vincent and his orchestra played. A highlight of the evening was the special entertainment provided by Alan Masters, who danced several rhumbas, congas, and tangos. Palm trees and original poster scenes added to the Spanish atmosphere. Ninety-six In March the Freshman class presented a cabaret party, the entertainment being provided by several talented members of the class. !ab~es, which were set around the dance floor m mght club style, were decorated with candles. O~r college d~nce band, the Bucknellians, supplied the music for dancing and listening.

DANCE BAND Bucknell University Junior College's own dance band, the Bucknellians, has made remarkable progress in its two years of existence. The orchestra's popularity at the college sport dances during the past year was very evident, if crowds are any criterion. Organized in 1945 to provide music for school affairs, the orchestra began to accept outside bookings one year 1ater, and is now planning to play at local resorts during the summer. Among more recent bookings of the orchestra are Forty Fort High School, Plymouth High School, Lake Winola High School, the St. Stephen's Young People's Society, and Kingston Township High School. The orchestra is a well-organized, compact unit under the direction of Reese Pelton, who also writes the original arrangements featured by the band. John Martin, vocalist, has acted in the capacity of business manager during the past year. Rehearsals are held regularly at Chase Hall and St. Stephen's Hall. Despite the inevitable problem of changing personnel each semester, the o·r chestra has been able to function continually. The present orchestra, which was recently reorganized for the summer, is comprised of twelve members. One of the prominent local band leaders was so impressed with the orchestra that he recently secured several bookings for it. JOHN MARTIN, Soloist Ninet y-eig ht With the many new jobs and their increased popularity, the Bucknellians will gain recognition throughout the area. Our band has become an integral part of our College. We sincerely hope that the strains of the Bucknellians' theme, "Deep Purple," will continue to suggest the best in dance music. During Orientation Week in October, freshmen were required to wear fantastic costumes, stand in the presence of upper classmen, carry matches, and know the Bucknell Junior College Song and paragraph on honor. At the end of the week, an inquisition was held at which time the disobedient were punished. Upperclassmen heckled the freshmen by making them sing college songs over and over, walk backwa rds from Chase t o Conyngham, and carry packages; but in spite of this hazing and mockery, Freshman Week lives on in the minds of all of us students as an important part in our orientation into college life. It is at this time that the personality and character of an individual is recognized.

The girls decided to use ''One World" as the theme of their dances, and in their selections they tried to show how the peoples who came to America brought with them, along with their traditions and institutions, the dances that, by rearrangement and the addition of new elements of local color, have become American square dances. The pageant opened with a dance, Springtime in Hellas, with the performers attired in classical costumes. Following a minuet danced by the court, the May Queen, Jean Lampert, was crowned by Edythe Miller, queen of the previous year, who returned to participate in the ceremony according to our college tradition. In the Queen's court were Ruth Kluger, Ruth Lewis, Caryl Galow, and Rosemary Zukoski. Flower girls were Helen Hoff a, Nancy Craze, Barbara Thomas, Elizabeth Roberts, Jolyne Rocereto, and Carol Weiss. After the coronation of the Queen, students dressed in gay costumes presented several peasant dances. A variety of American square dances followed, and everyone joined in the finale, a country dance.

To promote interest in sports, all women are given membership in the Young Women's Christian Association, which provides adequate and modern facilities for all sports. Plans are now being made for a women's athletic organization, comparable to the Lettermen's Club, which will foster an interest in an enlarged program of sports for the women students of Bucknell.

MILITARY BAND In the fall of 1946, along with the start of our football team, the military band was organized. Under the directorship of Reese Pelton, a group of thirtyfive competent musicians was brought together to add color and spirit to the football spectacles. The band members, smartly attired in navy blue sweaters and trousers, were on hand for each game, providing entertainment between halves and forming a nucleus for our college cheering section. Bill Ellis, the band's business manager, made arrangements for transportation of the band to Lewisburg, LaPlume, and Williamsport for the Bucknell, Keystone, and Dickinson contests. By the close of the season, a fairly large repertoire was formed. Our band had a very successful first year, and future bands should profit greatly by the experiences it gained during the season.

Under the direction of Dr. Charles B. Reif, the cheerleaders practiced rousing songs and cheers to be used at all our games. Throughout the basketball and football seasons, both at home games and away, the cheerleaders were on hand to lead us in our singing and cheering and to back our team with their enthusiastic support. The squad consisted of six men and five women integrated into one cheering section with James Catnes as captain. The cheerleaders were chosen from a large group who tried out at the beginning of the fall semester. Our cheerleaders deserve praise for their notable achievement in arousing interest and support. The cheerleaders have become an important part of our school sports program. They represent another step forward as our own Bucknell Junior College expands into a regular four-year college.

At every game, at home or away, our majorettes added the necessary touch of charm to the affair as they paraded smartly before the school band. Each of the girls was attired in a white skirt, sweater, cap, and boots, trimmed with navy blue. The skill of the newly organized major ettes was apparent fr om the sprightly way they marched about the football field and from the experienced manner in which they twirled their batons. It was evident that the ease with which the girls performed required many hours of hard practice. Next season at our football games the majorettes will be on parade again to make the half-way mark of the game a spectacular event. We are all very proud of our majorette corps and thank them for a job well done.

FOOTBALL TEAM Last fall our college organized its first football team with Mr. George F. Ralston as coach. Having played four years of football in the Harrisburg high schools and four years at the University of North Carolina, Mr. Ralston was well equipped for the job of organizing a team. In addition, he has had coaching experience at Forty Fort High School and at the University of North Carolina. Early in September the first call for candidates was answered by fifty men. By the time of the first game, our team was ready with a squad of thirty-five to play the best teams in its class. In its first contest our team won a keenly contested game from Keystone College eleven. Keystone provided a real test for our new team, which worked hard for its 14 to O victory. A week later, for the second game, the team journeyed to Lewisburg to meet the Bucknell University junior varsity. In another thrilling battle the Junior College earned its second victory by a 7 to 6 score. The third week brought our team face to face with the Pittston Vocational School. Our team, making its debut before Wyoming Valley fans, gave the Pittston squad an uncomfortable afternoon by rolling up a 40 to O victory. On~ Hund red Ten On 'November 1 we met the King's College eleven, which made an effort to halt our team's winning streak. The King's team played a fine game, offensive as well as defensive, but they failed to halt the sparkling playing that meant touchdown and victory for us by a 7 to O score. After a week's rest Coach Ralston and our undefeated team went to Williamsport to battle Dickinson Junior College. Here Bucknell had to play its best game of the season to beat a fine Dickinson team by a score of 20 to 6. Bucknell Junior College closed its 1946 football season on November 23 in Nesbitt Stadium, against Wyoming Seminary. Several Bucknell scoring drives fell short, giving all of us some anxious moments, but the Junior College would not be denied its sixth victory and scored a 7 to O win. With this win the Bucknell eleven finished an exceptionally successful season. The record stands at six victories and no losses for our first football season. Rarely does a football team make such an imposing start. Credit for the successful season belongs to every man who wore a Bucknell football uniform, to the managers of the club, and to our coach, Mr. Ralston.

Ralston, newly-appointed head of our athletic department, called for candidates. The orange and blue quintet opened the season with a victory over Pottsville Undergraduate Center. League competition proved to be much stiffer than it was last season, and the Bisons lost several games to clubs heavily reinforced by the return of experienced players from the service. Our team showed considerable improvement during the second half of the season. Several players who had previously spent most of their time on the bench were given greater opportunities to demonstrate their talents. Various experiments proved highly successful and, as the second half progressed, our club was playing a game of basketball unsurpassed by any other team in the league. Regardless of early season set-backs, our Bisons completed their league schedule in an impressive fashion, winning three of their four final contests. Upon conclusion of the regular season, the Bucknell team was invited to participate in the One Hundred Fourteen Pennsylvania Junior College Athletic Association Tournament at Hazleton. Hazleton Undergraduate Center defeated the Bisons in the first game of the tournament by a close margin. The local players played considerably better in the second playoff game against Hershey Junior College and won in decisive manner. Coach George Ralston's squad was awarded a trophy for their splendid showing in the state-wide tourney. Joe Swartwood and .Bill Johns, members of last year's quintet, were the high scorers. Joe Savitz, Danny Gilroy, Frank Pinola, Bill Zucosky, and Harry Black were among the leading scorers on the team. One of the highlights of the season was the intense rivalry between Bucknell and King's College. When the two local colleges clashed in basketball this year, it was difficult to find an auditorium large enough to accomodate the enthusiastic students. With basketball attracting the crowds of pre-war years, we are looking ahead to another year of active basketball competition.

WRESTLING TEAM This was the first year that our College has had a wrestling team in several years. However, Bucknell played good form in the latter part of the season after losing the first few meets because of lack of experience.

' BASEBALL TEAM Enjoying the second year of baseball competition after a short time away from the sport, our baseball team, coached by George F. Ralston, proved to be one of the best teams that Bucknell has had in several years. A full schedule for our baseball team was arranged with several colleges. Our team played King's College, Wyoming Seminary, Keystone College, Pittston Vocational School, Syracuse University, and Mansfield State Teachers' College. The varsity was composed of Walt Hendershot, Joe Busby, Henry Zulinski, Al Darte, Al Morse, Bill Brennan, Gerald Munzing, George Russ, Jim Davis, Jack Reese, Marty Warmus, Bob Waters, Jack Russell, John Florkiewicz, Girard Washco, Jack Cain, Jack Josephs, Joe Baltrushes, and Jack Jones. Manager was Norman Hughes. A total of thirteen games were played, six of which were played on Bucknell's home field in Kirby Park. Previous to the regular season, games were played with Hanover and Coughlin High Schools. Mr. Cromwell Thomas, a former wrestling star of Washington and Lee University, did an excellent job in training our comparatively green team. Many of the ·men who had no previous wrestling experience were performing like old-timers as the season drew to a close. The wrestlers surprised us all with their rapid teamwork. With experience behind the men next year and with the growing interest of the student body in wrestling, we can anticipate a good season for our team.

Bucknell University wished to provide the citizens of Wilkes-Barre an opportunity for the advantages of higher education comparable The earliest classes were held in rented office space, and most of the faculty was drawn from Bucknell. It was at the request of the Administration and the Board of Trustees that some of the community's leading citizens enabled the college to All of us live in a period of accelerating change, and none of us can foresee all that lies before us.

In 1933 Bucknell University Junior College was established in Wilkes-Barre to serve the young people of the Wyoming Vall ey. The plans of development caused the We can never be sure that our chosen goals will be attained, for ff'e are a part of the times in which we Live, and the divergent infiuences that shape the tun e , must also shape the lives of each of us.

In 1946 the students were given the opportunity for the first time to complete their four-year college education in Wilkes-Barre. It was at this time that the college satisfied move into permanent quarters. Cony ngham Hall and Chase Hall were the first buildings belonging to Wilkes College. The Weckesser and Kirby homes were added to the college to facilitate its rapid growth. The Board of Trustees gave Gies Hall, Barre H all, Butler Hall, and Pickering Hall to the college. Ashley and Sterling Halls were bequ ested to the college as was the McClintock residence to facilitate housing for out-of-town women students. Later acqu1s1t1ons of the college were Harding Hall, the Sturdevant House, and Hollenback Hall, for classroom and faculty offices. Warner Hall, Gore Hall, Weiss Hall, and George Catlin Hall were added for dormitory facilities. In 1957 the Harold R. Stark Hall of Science was dedicated for the advancement of sCience. In the twenty-five years of its growth Wilkes College has made tremendous progress in the field of education. In the twenty-five years of its growth, the students of Wilkes have experienced everything from a depression, a World War, and a change in a political way-of-life. All through these times the students of Wilkes have wanted a college education. They have all had different personal goals, yet they have all been here for the foundation for attaining the goals which they had set for themselves. �STANLEY H. W ASILESKI, M.S.

Director of Public Relations JOHN D. REESE, B.S. Director of Student Activities ADMINISTRATION The administration of Wilkes College has moulded into the students that which can be exemplified as the Wilkes way-of-life. Their attempt has been to show the student the path to take for success now and after graduation. It has been their aim for the student to acquire a sense of independence and responsibility early in his college career. This is in addition to the help which the administration is only too willing to give to the student, which is a very important part of the college wayof-life. The doors of Chase Hall are always open to the students for them to feel free to come in and talk to the deans to discuss the various things in their life which may be an asset to their lives or may be a problem impeding the student's progress. The very fact that the administration is so willing to talk and discuss with the students is of great importance to have a happy and satisfied student body. The Wilkes way-of-life which has been molded into the students by the administration with the aid of the faculty is that feeling of warmth which the administration feels to be the most important for each person. The administration has grown in their importance as the college has grown in its size. This is what helps the college to grow from the inside as the physical plant continues to expand. It is with the sense and feeling of friendship that the administration tries to do its job in regard to the students and in the development of relations with the people of the Wyoming Valley. ��IN MEMORIAM STUDE NT GOVERNMENT CLASS HISTORY Th e bas ic characteristic of a college ed ucation has not changed in th e last quarter of a century. It is now that th e world is full of rela ti ve peac e, prosperity, and security that we, the class of 1958, are in college. No one is allowing any of these things to soften him , or to make him a coward. Each one has a spiritual purpose to obtain his college degree. It is this purpose and the way-of-life of Wilk es which has caused th e internal growth and strength of Wilkes in keeping with the ph ys ical growth of th e college. The class of 1958 has a spirit and a feeling of unity which has been exemplified in all of their work. They have don e man y things which ha ve caused th em to have a n enviable position in th e college and in the community. Th e spirit, imagination , and enthusiasm have been a tremendous asset in relation to the constructive work which has been done for th e cl ass and for th e college. JOSE PH V. ORC HARD Co mm erce a n<l F inan ce The unity of the class was shown at th e very outset of th eir college career by th e support of the plans of th e class offi cers for the establishment of a class council. The council wa s d esigned to strengthen the bond between the class and the college. CLASS OFFICERS The class of 1958 has made a permanent contribution to the college in the form of the Memorial Fund. Thi s fund w as designed as a gift to be continued by succeeding classes. Th e students in the Senior Class have bee n successful as a unit and h ave also had several outstanding individual s who h ave helped to make the class a great one in the history of the college and have helped to mak e the coll ege a well-known institution in the academic world. There is a great deal to be remembered about our four years in college. To remember first m eetings, first acquaintances, first classes. The happiness shared at athletic events, the Beard Contest, th e dinner dance. There were the happy hours fill ed with joy and well-being which were balanced by the trying hours when w e wondered about our purpose in college. All of these varied pursuits have helped us to real ize that we do have a place in the world as college graduates. Whether or not we ever m eet after our college graduation we will still have the tangible remembrances of all that which has gone together to make our college days a lasting and memorable expenence.

The Education program at Wilkes is unusual in the sense that the student is exposed to a wide variety of courses in addition to the education courses. It is felt that it is more important for a teacher to be a well-rounded individual rather than the product of a narrow, specialized program. The education courses provide the proper classroom techniques, and these are applied in the practice teaching period in which the student practices at local schools. A very important and beneficial phase of the Education program is the Education Club, which is a chapter of the Future Teachers of America, which in turn is under the auspices of the National Education Asso- c1at10n. Under student direction and planning, the club has participated in state conventions on education endeavoring general betterment. This extra-curricular educational activity complements the organized purposes of the department, providing members with experiences not direct! y attainable in the education courses and giving the F.T.A. members an opportunity to function in and become acquainted with a national professional organization. The students in this field are fortunate to be able to get their teaching certificates with the additional liberal arts background which makes them qualified teachers and informative and productive members of society.

WILLIAMS, B.S. Secondary Education �SCIENCES With the statement "seek and ye shall find" the student s of Wilkes strive toward the truths of science. The students in Biology, Chemistry , and Physics realize that in addition to their basic knowledge they must learn the practical application. Science in this modern world demands that the student be thoroughly versed in his particular field. Such an opportunity is found at Wilkes. But as we look d eeper into the matter we find that there is more than that which meets the eye. In today's world the scientist must learn to understand man and hi s contemporary world more than at any other time. It is with this in mind that Wilkes strives to give its science students. instead of a purely scientific background, the added liheral arts which will enable the student to appreciate human problems facing the contemporary world with regard to science. Th e biology m ajors have been given an opportunity which few undergraduates are afforded. They have been given several grants by private industry to further the research in the various fields of biological sC1ence. FRANCIS WALTER S. FISHER, A.B. Biology J. GALLIA, A.B. Biology ROBERT M. GREGORY, A.B. Biology Students who major in chemistry are prepared for a career which can have many facets. They can take the knowledge which they have obtained about the chemical world in which we live and apply it to research and the advancement of science in general. The physics majors, although they are only at \Vilkes for two years, are instructed in the foundations of physics. They add to their knowledge with further study which in their remaining two years is completed elsewhere. MATTHEW I. KESSMAN, A.B . Biology RONALD A. OLSHEFSKI, A.B. Biology SAMUEL C. MINES, A.B.

Chemistry 29 28 �SOCIAL SCIENCES The social sciences help the student to understand his relationship to the world in which he lives. The ethical problems, mental processes, religious importance, and the social aspects of living are incorporated in the philosophy, psychology, religion, and sociology departm ents. The philosophy department offers each student an opportunity to understand the basic social and ethical problems which h ave faced man since time immemorial. Students taking philosophy courses are taught the fundamental principles and applications of the Judaic-Christian moral tradition. The psychology courses are designed to help the students understand the reasons for human activity and the effect of such activities in society. The department offers, in addition to the basic course, advanced specialized courses dealing with specific aspects of psychology. The religion department is an interesting contribution to the Wilkes campus. Since it is impossible to und erstand our civilization without understanding its great religions, several basic courses of the religions help to foster this comprehension. The program of the sociology department is to help familiarize the student with man's relationship with others in his society. The department has three general aims: to give the student a general view of the field, to prepare students for specialized graduate schools, and to show the relationship between sociology and the sciences. The social sciences could never be complete without this important field. Mr. R. C. Ril ey-Psychology chairman, Dr. S. Vujica-Philosophy chairma n, Dr. K. Symmons-Sociology chairman, Mr. J.

The aesthetic feeling of the expression is very gratifying for the person who plans and fulfills the essentials of the courses. The music and art departments not only develop the talents of those who are gifted in these fields, but by the offering of appreciation and survey courses they also stimulate the interest of those less talented. The student majoring in music receives thorough background of the entire field with concentrated training and practice on the instrument of his choice. Music Education has been the popular curriculum in this department. The student ma1onng in art learns the methods and techniques needed for the mastery of a phase of art and its applications. The student also acquires a background in the development of the various schools and their effects on the evolution of art. Both departments have community affiliations. The Music Department has conducted many cultural programs for the benefit of both the college and the community. The Art Department has conducted special classes which were run in conjunction with various art leagues of Wilkes-Barre. These two departments have more direct community relations than any other of the college organizations. Standing: Mr. C. B. O'Toole-Art £hairman, Mr. F. R. Li va, Mr. R. E. Moran, Miss P. I.

This is the reason that the language courses are so designed to facilitate the greatest number of students. As a result of the English departmental efforts, the average student on the campus is more able to appreciate and efficiently use the language in allied courses. The language department stresses the importance of the student's ability to understand a foreign language as it is spoken, as well as the ability to speak it himself. The department uses the oral method in its teaching and concentrates on its elementary courses in pronunciation, diction, and understanding. HENRIETTE ABENMOHA, A.B. French JANICE S. LEHET, A.B.

The basic working of a country includes its background, government, and finances. These courses are aimed at the stud ent interested in the functional working of the country and the incorporation of the physical and cultural aspec ts in its entirety. The history department aims its program to give each student a broad understanding of how past events influence modern society. In pursu ing its aim s th e department offers the broad and inclusive course in Western Civilization with an intensive study of American and European history. Political science majors are trained for law school, for careers in public service, and for intelligent citizenship in our country. Students who take the basic government courses are able to familiarize themselves with our government and the patterns of the major political parties. Economics offers a wide field of study to the student interested in the financial aspects of life. This field is valuable for the better understanding of the ways in which the financial world affects daily life. HARRY D AVENPORT, A. B. History LeROY FIERGANG, A.B. Political Science CLAREN J.

The departmen t also prepares its majors for specialization in higher and more detailed mathematics. Wi lkes uses a modern approach to the broad fi elds of mathematics including the allied fields of statistics and logic. One of the reasons for the popularity of the department and the instructors that efficiently hand le the department is that they have incorporated the newest approaches in their teaching methods. In addition to the extensive work done in the field of mathematics, the student who majors in this area of learning also has the opportunity to take enough courses so that he wi ll have a broad, liberal background. Some who have graduated with a degree in mathematics have gone on to positions of teaching. Many students have taken the mathematics and have consequently found their place in industry and other associated fields. These people have become vital factors in the production area of large-scale industry. \ ~ ROBERT J. DORAN , A.B. Mathemati cs PETER L. GALE, A.B. Mathematics ROBERT A. ENGLE, A.B.

These courses are nursing education, laboratory and medical technology, and secretarial studies. These courses are designed to give a general education; to give specialized training for the particular work; and to develop an understanding of their specialized field. The program in nursing education is designed for the preparation of head nurses, supervisors and instructors in hospitals and schools of nursing. Before the student enters Wilkes to obtain her Bachelor of Science degree, it is presupposed that she has graduated from an accredited school of nursing and has completed the state registration. The laboratory and medical technology students take courses which will prepare them for registration and acceptability by the American Society of Clinical Pathologists. In addition to the specialized courses which the student takes in the sciences, the student takes several liberal arts electives to complete her education. The terminal course in secretarial studies is designed to give the student an understanding of the business activities and to give her specialized training for her place as a secretary in the business world.

ABATE Chemical Engineering Engineering is a field of endeavor which beckons many young men entering Wilkes . No matter what he desireschemical, aeronautical, civil, or electrical-all are available. The engineering stud ent divides his time between the science courses and the practical engineering courses. Wilkes provides a two-year course in engineering, thus building the foundation for future study and specialization. The curriculum also includes some courses which may seem unrelated, but which will give the student a broadened background, the value of which will be realized in later years when he becomes a professional. After completion of the Wilkes program, the student will enroll in a school with advanced courses where he will get his degree. Even with the completion of his formal education, he is not finished learning about his field, because by its very nature, it is science of advancement. ARTHUR J.

The members are some of the most active and versatile students on the campus. The student organizations on campus are dependent upon the council for financial assistance and advice. Composed of four seniors, juniors, sophomores, and three freshmen, the group is constantly consulted by the students and the administration on decisions concerning the students. Under President Edmund Kotu la the Council was instrumental in improving the freshmen hazing program and the students' attitude toward self-government. Their three major social events, the All-College Dance, the Winter Carnival, and the Cinderella Ball were typical of the fine work done by this student organization.

This year the traditional affair was held at the Pocono Mountain Inn located in the heart of Pennsylvania's resort area. A full day's program was sched uled consisting of indoor and outdoor activities to please the whims of all students. The winter sports were limited to ice-skating ; however, the lack of snow allowed for horse-back riding, squash, and basketball.

The Amnicola is not just a collection of memories and experiences, it is a record of the progress and development of the college. It is the product of many hours of work, of problems, of deadlines, of revisions for improvement. The book is of significance to the faculty to see their job well done in the class which is leaving Wilkes. The Amnicola is that small part of Wilkes that the graduate can take with him to remind him of those things which make up college and those things which he has acquired in college. It will, we hope, help keep alive the Wilkes way-of-life. HELEN MILLER Art Editor ELISABETH SCHWARTZ Copy Editor Catha! O'Toole, Advisor. 84 Hmmm .

Wilkes' literary magazine, the Manuscript, published annually, provides many articles of various types which prove both interesting and informative to its readers. In addition, the literary magazine contains poems and artwork of stimulating quality. Members of the Manuscript Club review the many literary and art creations submitted for publication, by stud ents, for the purpose of evaluating them as to their constructive and literary m erits.

" With this time honored statement another debate begins. This year's topic: "Resolve, That the Requirement of Membership in a Labor Organization Should Be Illegal" has been one of exceptional interest to Wilkes' Debate Society. Our debaters have participated in many of the largest debating tournaments in the East this year. They have traveled to the Pennsylvania, West Point, N.Y.U., and Johns Hopkins tournaments. The purpose of the debating group is to stimulate school interest through inter-collegiate debate competition, and to develop interest in national affairs. At each tourney a two man team takes the affirmative side of the national issue for Wilkes while two of their colleagues speak in opposition to the resolution, each team meeting debaters from the various other colleges in the tournament.

Their blue jackets and gray trouser uniforms lent a distinctive touch to their fine music. Led by director Robert Moran the band produced many lively renditions during the course of the game, helping to incite the spirit of the Wilkes fans. In addition the band performed at such occasions as the Stark Hall dedication, Armistice Day parade, and the pep rallies. The band also performed at the Parent's Day program in early May. The semi-classical traditions added to the atmosphere of the occasion. The Girls' Chorus and the Mixed Chorus are two very fine musical groups of the college. They are open to those students who have a genuine interest in singing. The Girls' Chorus has performed at many of the school affairs in addition to their performances at the meetings of various civic organizations. The mixed chorus, a relatively new group, has had a great deal of success in their performances at school and throughout the Valley. CHEERLEADERS : 1st row: A. Rubury, G.

President John Mauh all organized a class council composed of se lected r epresentat ives to help plan and execute the activities of the class. The Class as a whole was ex tremely successful in the social activit ies. They were wellplanned and designed for the interest and the en joyment of the whole sc hool. This class has LYNNE BOYLE Student Council 100 don e more during their sophomore year at Wilk es than a class has clone for several yea rs.

Out of all the phases of American life, which is the right one for me?

This I do not believe, for I am sure that your fullest development depends upon your own efforts rathelr than upon ours. I do wonder, however, if we have made you aware of the great spiritual and intellectual resources that are latent in all of you. There are other questions that persistently recur as the year ends and a few of them go as follows: Have we helped you to develop vision that will enable you to accept and to serve the world and its people? Have we cultivated an awareness of the many forces that influence our lives? Have we encouraged the quest for understanding, or have we merely imparted knowledge? Have we cultivated the ability to make decisions and to hold to honest convictions? Have we helped you to develop faith and courage that are so badly needed in our tortured society? These questions haunt me and will continue to haunt me for the rest of my active years. They relate to the heart of our educational effort, but they are the intangibles that can only be measured by the life you lead- and this requires much time and much living. For the past four years your teachers have asked you questions that you and they could answer. As we take our separate paths, I am asking questions that none of us can answer today. I hope, however, that in the years ahead you will give many affirmative answers to these questioni;,. May you discover that you have awakened the spiritual and intellectual resources that are yours, and may you use these resources for the enrichment of your personal lives and for the betterment of the civilization of which we are all a part. FOREWORD They lie there dormant . . . stillAbilities, ideas, attitudes, and hopes Unmoving ... unborn. Searching Reaching Grasping For ;iir of knowledge; For vitality of truth. Oh, take them up Mold Design Sharpen And give life to the small voice. Who cries out in the name of wisdom. And so he was led, and life giv'n. An individual seeks truths and searches for understandings. He tries to recognize his limitations and nourish his abilities. He wants to find his place in a somewhat confused world. There are so many concepts to conquer; so much knowledge to gain; so many values from which to choose. He needs fortitude, assurance, and guidance. Here at Wilkes each student is encouraged to recognize himself as an individual with unique potential and personality. He is led in the directions that will enable him to acquire the confidence, skills, and ideals he requires in order to become whole. We have endeavored to present, within the pages of this book, the story of life as we know it at Wilkes College. We have sought to portray a glimpse of the daily experiences of the student-the work, the laughs, the trials, the pleasures. We have tried to show that everyday he grows, and in some way there is " .. . life giv'n." �along the river she has grown from early youth to maturity the school we know the Wilkes we love respect . . . and always will through our lives we'll still look back recalling moments nurtured in memory the dreams we shared realized and not the friend long gone the 8:00's the midnight oil the coffee breaks the laughs; the fears the weekend dates the hurts; the hopes and all the rest we'll remember relive and cherish }/ I ! \. ~ ! ��Mrs. Gertrude A. Doane Dean of Women Mr. Stanley Waseleski Mrs. Margaret Connelly Mr. John Chwalek ADMINISTRATION Mr. George F. Ralston Dean of Men Each graduate of Wilkes College is indebted to those men and women who comprise the administration of their school. Through their understanding of the academic and social problems of the college student, the administration has guided them during their years at Wilkes. They have directed them in assuming responsibility and in acquiring the confidence each needs to achieve success. The administration realizes the importance of having each student think and work independently, but recognizes also the proper guidance required.

Behind its doors one finds a perfected cooperation between student and administration which represents the life-blood of the school. There one finds vigor and warmth which will leave a lasting mark on the memory of each graduate. The administration has more than done its share in contributing to the growth and development of Wilkes. Its main endeavor has been directed toward the betterment of the relationship between the student and his school. We can point with pride and admiration to its success. Mr. John P .

It serves those who, because of lack of time or due to hours of employment, cannot attend the day school. Although most of the courses in Evening School parallel those of the day school, opportunities are offered to those who are not working toward a degree but who desire to increase their skills and broaden their knowledge.

The humanities include such disciplines as English, Foreign Languages, Art, Mathematics, Music, Philosophy, and Religion. These subjects represent the core of the liberal arts program at Wilkes College. In the humanities, a student learns to think, express, analyze, and understand. He seeks truths and the power to reason. It is through the humanities that men learn to interpret life and, herefore, conquer it's problems. Phyllis I. Clark, M.M. Inst. in Music Stanko M.

They are the subjects which hear directly on man's existence in society. They deal with the relations and institutions which he has created. The Social Sciences have existed for hundreds of years. And as societies were born, so they grew in number. Included within the field are education, history, sociology, nursing, merchandising, business administration, secretarial studies, and accounting.

And now with production schedule, deadline dates, photo assignments, the nights, Saturdays and Sunday afternoons of work and the searching for rulers behind us, I would like to pause, SLAP a few backs, and KICK a few shins. WE WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANKS TO . . . H. G. ROEBUCK & SON, INC., and MR. SIDNEY SCHULTZ for the patience when our material did not always arrive on the prearranged date. ACE HOFFMAN for the endless line of students for photos and the two unsuccessful days they spent on our campus. To all the people who were generous enough to buy ADVERTISING in our book. To all the PATRONS for their appreciated contributions. The BEACON, our newspaper, that was always willing to lend a hand for advertising, and a special thanks for their RULERS and THUMB-TACKS. My assistant editor, RUTH HUSBAND, for running around campus and taking care of all the little odd jobs when I wasn't here, for picking up the mail, for passing out assignments and hounding PRO for Sports Photographs. Our assistant to the assistant's assistant, LOU JOHNSON, for bringing cokes, photos from HOFFMAN, radio, and those ever popular dummy sheets that had to be copied and recopied. To our student photographer, STU SWETT, for all the photo schedules we gave him in the beginning of the year, which he so faithfully tried to keep, for trying to save us money on the CAMPUS PERSONALITIES, for all of the last minute pictures that we always seemed to be in such a rush for. AL KISHEL for all the postcards that had to be typed and for the list of senior class members. MILLIE GITTENS for allowing us to use the BOOKSTORE for our photography studio. The thrifty PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICE that was always so pleasant and generous ... Oh well, we all have our problems. To all the students who helped us meet our first deadline date by working the hilarious night of DECEMBER 11 when we completed our first page at 12 :01 A.M. SHIELA WILLIAMS for calling the Greyhound Bus Station to make sure they held the 4:15. so many others like, JANICE REYNOLDS, BERNADINE VIDUNAS, PATTY HEMENWAY, and NANCY TINKLEPAUGH, who worked Sundays and other days when they could. STEVE POLESKIE for his unique dividers. We would like to say that we have enjoyed this year and wouldn't have had it any other way. And as our COLONEL said at HOMECOMING, "He would conquer the Grizzly," well we feel that we have conquered all of our grizzlies. HELEN G.

PAGE 148 I �PRESIDENT EUGENE SHEDDEN FARLEY During the last four years you have added to your store of knowledge and have increased your skills so that you can be a more effective person. And yet neither knowledge nor skill will be of value to you in the years ahead unless you have developed those personal qualities that mark the real person. The next quarter century offers no promise of ease, of peace, or of security, and yet all men need some of each if they are to attain any measure of happiness. As world conditions do not promise to satisfy these personal needs, each of you must, therefore, cultivate them within yourself. Many recipes for the cultivation of inne.r security have been offered to our restless generation, and I would not offer another - for it is unlikely that equanimity will come to those who seek it. It is more likely to come as a by-product C HASE HAL L of constructive thinking and creative action. Some years ago I asked a very good friend for advice regarding an unpromising task that needed doing, but instead of offerinq advice he asked a question: "Are you sure this is the right thing to do?" The answer was, "Yes!" "Do you think you can do it?" My reply - "I don't know." And then he advised , "Well , if you are sure it is right, plan as carefully as you can, do all you are able, enlist the help of friends, and await the results." The task that then seemed difficult has long since been forgotten, but the advice has helped throughout the years. Undertake a worthwhile task! Give it all you have! Have faith that the results will be good! Achievement will be the direct result; happiness and a measure of serenity will be the by-product. In this year 's AMNICOLA, we have tried to trace the progress and development of the ind ividual and show the influence his years at Wilkes have had upon him. We have also tried to point out how the various facets of his college life combine to bring about this development. As th e individual passes from one year to another, he displays different characteristics. In his freshman year, he looks ahead to the future, speculating upon what it may hold for him . His sophomore year is one of decision, for he must ~hoose a definite objective. During his junior year he works toward this goal. As a senior, he is prepared for his future. The results of his development are shown as he takes his place in the community . Other things also contribute to his growth. In his study he seeks truth and knowledge. From campus life he learns social graces; from sports he learns teamwork; and from activities he learns the meaning of true fellowship. One of the most important things college does for the individual is to strengthen his faith and morals. This effect of college life is not placed in any one section of the book because it pervades the whole atmosphere at Wilkes. We feel it in the reading of the Bible in assembly, in the quick silent prayer in our hearts before an exam, and in the very ·essence of our life - hard work and trust in God. Our two figures, Betty and Joe, are not intended to represent anyone in particular. They symbolize the influence which college life has upon the development of an individual's character. �THE SEARCH FOR TRUTH An essential part of an individual's development is his intellectual growth. Textbooks and instructors provide the necessary facts and knowledge; the individual, however, must organize these facts and utilize this knowledge to give it meaning. It is here - in these classrooms, in these departments - that the individual achieves his growth by seeking and learning the truth. Here, Betty and Joe study, struggle, and strive to reach their goal, the acquisition of an education. Acquiring an education involves essentially the accumulation of knowledge; however, it is more than this. The educated individual is able to apply what he has learned .' He organizes facts into patterns so that each new fact becomes a part of his conception of life and its meaning. He thinks clearly; he has a flexible mind and can cope with new situations. He reaches decisions logically and is not swayed from a course of action once decided upon. ADMINISTRATION .. .. PAGE 8 GUIDANCE .......... PAGE 30 HUMANITIES ........ PAGE 10 MAINTENANCE PAGE 31 SCIENCES . . ......... PAGE 16 NIGHT SCHOOL PAGE 32 SOCIAL SCIENCES .... PAGE 22 GRADUATION ....... PAGE 34 LIBRARY ......... . .. PAGE 29 Yet, for Betty and Joe, whether they are majoring in English, biology, commerce and finance, or engineering, the main objective is finding the truth; for only when they have secured this knowledge can they go on to achieve the rest. By seeking truth and holding fast to it in the face of all odds, the individual can withstand any force that tries to narrow his personality or destroy his individuality. �The center of official activity on the Wilkes :ollege campus is Chase Hall. There the important :isks of formi~g policy and laying plans for the Jture are performed. There also the friendly and fficient office force works with the administrators :, carry out these ideas. Every student has felt the influence of these eople. When we first arrive at Wilkes as freshmen, ,ey are the first to meet us and make us feel at ome.

No problem is too small to warrant their attention. Students are encouraged to arrange interviews with them to discuss difficulties or simply to talk over their progress. Although Wilkes in its development has experienced many growing pains, the administration has never failed to cope with inconveniences and find quick solutions.

II �The term "humanities" was first applied to the study of Greek and Roman classics and culture as opposed to the study of divinity and theology. With the rise of humanitarianism, the doctrine that man,s obligations are concerned wholly wit h the welfare of the human race, the term was enlarged to take in the study of all languages and their origins as well as all other studies which concern themselves with human civilization. Another definition of humanity is "that which distinguishes man from other beings." Man is the only creature who can think of and logically conceive a system of mathematics; he is the only creature who can sum up his thoughts through the medium of language in philosophy, religion, and literature, and only man can express his most beautiful thoughts through art and music. At Wilkes the humanities division encompasses all branches of learning primarily conducive to culture and a liberal education. Here it includes the study of English, foreign languages, art, mathematics, music, philosophy, and religion. The aim of the College in presenting the humanities is not merely to give the student a factual knowledge in these fields, but also to teach him to apply what he has learned to his own life, thus enriching it and giving it real mean ing . In presenting the best in literature, art, and music to the student, the College strives to give him a lasting enjoyment and appreciation of all the benefits not only of our culture, but also of other nations. Mathematics and philosophy help the student to think clearly and to utilize his logic in understanding the ideas presented to him. He can then apply these ideas to his life, having learned from the experiences and thoughts of the great thinkers of the past as well as of the present. Dr. Da vies befo re th e Battle o· In summa ry, the purpose of the humanities division at Wilkes is to impart cultural knowledge to the student in such a manner that the liberal education which he receives will aid his future living, so that he may be an intelligent and active citizen of the country in which he lives.

The beginnings of science were found in man's slow and unconscious observation of natural occurrences. Only when considerable progress was made in the ordering of knowledge did man begin to seek causes for phenomena and attempt to discover connections between them. Science, then, has been representative of the growth and enlargement of human knowledge. At Wilkes the sciences embrace such diverse fields as biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, and psychology. Through biology and chemistry man learns of the workings of his body, through physics and engineering he builds a better material life for himself, while through psychology he attempts to discover the workings of his mind. Here at the College, the science departments have concerned themselves not merely with purely academic considerations, but also with technical projects designed to better the community and to aid in the advancement of man's knowledge as a whole. The biology department, for example, has engaged within recent years in programs of experimentation involving cancerous tissue - a contribution, though if even in a small way, to the scope of man's knoweldge in this field. Study and experiment, theory and practice, academic research, practical aid to humanity these are the contributions of science to life. Since no field of man's investigation can be totally separated from another, science, whether represented by the student, the teacher, or the professional investigator, endeavors to add to the fund of knowledge by which man attempts to improve himself and his world. Mr . Riley points out an interesting psychological fact. This, then, is the place of science, broad or exact, not only here at Wilkes, but wherever man wonders abo~t the world around him. Here at Wilkes, the science departments attempt to answer some of his questions. CATHERINE H. BONE Chemistry :HARLES A. REIF, Ph.D. Biology Dr. Reif supervises a c las s project. VORIS B.

Their beginnings can be traced to the' most ancient of written histories, the records of Babylonia, Egypt, Judea, and Greece. The individual departments within the Social Science Division at Wilkes provide the essential background in this field for all students besides enabling the incominq student to select a vocation from a wide field ranging from nursing edu cation to retail merchandising and including such other departments as elementary and secondary education, economics, history, sociology, business administration, secretarial studies, and accounting. Within this division the student receives not only classroom instruction, but also an opportunity to take part in related extracurricular activities. The departments maintain clubs through which the students may take part in outside projects concerning their area of study. In addition, they give practical experience to their students, such as the accounting and selling internships sponsored by the accounting and retail merchandising departments as on-the-job training while the students are still in school. Other outside activities which are of benefit to both the College and the community are also encouraged. The History Club has qiven a series of lectures by foreign students to help the people of the College to better understand the ways of other countries. The Education Club is very active in the Anthracite Institute for the Development of Schools, a scientific organization which is interested in introducing the newest and best teaching methods to our schools. The commerce and finance department takes surveys at the request of local businessmen, such as recording the traffic passing a particular point in order to predict business conditions.

The Wilkes College Library, located in the beautiful building of Kirby Hall, contains over 35,000 books, 500 different titles of periodicals, and several hundred pamphlets. The library also has several special collections which include original manuscripts dating from the 13th and 14th centuries, autoqraphed books, material on local history and coal, and books on Poland and in the Polish language. The library staff handles Visual Aids equipment, schedules the time and showing of movies for classes, and trains students to operate the film projector. The staff consists of four full -time memb ers: Mrs. Nada Vujica, head Librarian; Mr. George Ermel, Circulation and Reference Librarian; Mr. Warren French, Cataloginq and Referen ce Librarian; and Frances Hookins , Secretary. With the aid of about 18 student assistants, the staff maintains library hours 70 hours a week, throughout holidays and vacations. Each semester the staff offers two hours of orientation instruction to new students in the efficient use of the library, enabling them to become aware of the location and proper use of a treasure of books.

This is all work of the Guidance Center. Veterans may receive counseling and advice as to their aptitudes and abilities by filing an application with the Veterans Administration. All students entering Wilkes must take aptitude tests, and these are administered at the Guidance Center.

Each year many business firms visit the campus to interview the senior students as a result of the careful planning of Mr. John Chwalek, Placement Director. The college maintenance crew has an important task - seeing that the physical beauty of the campus is kept up at all ti mes. Throughout the four seasons of the year, the crew has the responsibility of caring for the 29 buildings and numerous walks and lawns at Wilkes. Mr. William Jervis, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, heads a staff of eight full- time employees and eleven student assistants. The group has various duties - sweeping sidewalks, raking leaves, caring for flower beds, shoveling snow, painting, and repairing. In addition, the staff handles the maintenance of all buildings by tending furnaces, removing ashes, and buffing floors .

Its primary purpose is to aid in furthering the higher education of those unable to attend day school because of a lack of time or because of their hours of employment. The present enrollment of the Evening Division is approximately 650 students. These consist mainly of undergraduates seeking a college de gree, which they could not obtain without the facilities Wilkes offers them. By attending evening classes, they can earn their degrees while maintaining their jobs. Most courses offered in the Evening Division of the College closely parallel those of Wilkes' day school students. On the other hand, the Evening School also seeks to give opportunities to those who would broaden their knowledge or increase their skill, and those not seeking degrees may still enjoy the advantages of the College's practical training. A study in still life . Under the direction of Mr. Stanley Wasileski, the Evening Division has become an important aspect of the College program and demonstrates the close relation between the College and the community.

The graduates assembled on the lawn in the rear of Kirby Hall and marched to the gym in a body led by Dr. Eugene S. Farley. Fred M. Hechinger, educational editor of The New York Herald Tribune, was the principle speaker. Esther Goldman received the highest honors, graduating summa cum laude, while ·Richard Kent and Dale Warmouth took second honors, graduating magna cum laude. Those who graduated cum laude were J. Warren Blaker, Mary E. Fitz- gerald, Morris Hollander, Arthur J. Hoover, Judith Hopkins, Joshua Kaufman, Helen Koelsch, and Ellen Witiak . Seven graduates who received awards were: Arthur J.

I., I· Freshmen Betty and Joe arrived here in a state of confusion. Orientation Week kept them constantly busy listening to talks on college life, receiving instructions, and getting acquainted with the rules of hazing, which would be so much a part of their life for their first two months here. Then the day came for registration. All the Freshmen managed somehow to find their way through the maze in the gymnasium. Once registered they were really a part of Wilkes. Every Freshman knew he was here, but some were not yet sure why they were here. Many of those who registered will graduate from the course they chose; many will change as they learn better their abilities and interests while actually applying themselves to their courses of study. Freshman year is essentially the laying of a foundation for future study. Its curriculum is general enough, in most cases, to permit change to another course if the student feels he will benefit by doing so. It is also a year for becoming acquainted with college life. Adjustments must be made to a whole new way of learning . The Freshmen find great freedom to use their time as they please; it is their duty to use it wisely. Freshman year can be a difficult one in the sense of adjustment, but it is richly filled with new friendships and accomplishments. �ROBERT THOMAS JOHN M. SABA, JR. KATHERINE SCUREMAN President ROBERT B. PAYNE Vice President Secretary Treasurer The Class of '59 began their first year at Wilkes College adorned with dinks, banners, name cards, and gart~rs. For the first few weeks, between trying to find the various campus buildings and also trying to get our schedules straightened out, we were truly a group of "Frustrated Frosh ." But our year was only beginning. Following a spirited campaign, the class, the biggest in Wilkes history, elected Bob Thomas as President, John Saba as Vice President, Toni Scureman as Secretary, and Bob Payne as Treasurer. The first thing that the officers did was to set up a Freshman Council which would discuss important matters before bringing them up in class meetings. The class advisors, Dr. Reif and Dr. Thatcher, were present at the weekly meetings to aid the Council in settling difficult problems.

Our first class project, moving the Bookstore to its new location in Harding Hall, was a wonderful success. Accompanied by the College Band, the Frosh made their first contribution to the campus, when given an opportunity to work together with one goal in mind. Since entering Wilkes, the Class of '59, through sponsoring numerous campus affairs, has become an active, well-organized part of the student body.

However, to Betty and Joe the campus is more than simply the grounds. It is the people found there, the fun in their company, everything around which their lives revolve. The governing body of the campus is the Student Council. This democratic self-government gives the student the responsibility for all decisions made by the Council, for t~e Council represents him and reflects his views. Campus publications reflect the student also. The Beacon, campus newspaper, voices the opinions of students, besides conveying news of interest to all. The Manuscript, annual magazine of Wilkes, presents some of the best literary efforts of the students; while the Amnicola, College annual, reviews the year's activities: Campus events help to draw the students closer together. The weekly assemblies, the annual Winter Carnival, and Homecoming give students a chance to enjoy each other's company as well as that of alumni. Also, campus meeting-places bring together students and faculty, who can be found at a lmost any time during the school day chatting together in the bookstore or the cafeteria . The dormitories offer similar meeting-places for students who live on campus . Surely Betty and Joe are right in believing that a campus is more than simply grounds. �The students who have been selected for recognition as outstanding personalities represent all facets of campus life. They have been the dynamic forces behind stage productions, athletic teams, student government, and campus publications. George Batterson Clifford Brautig Ivan Falk Henry Goetzma Through capable leadership in their years at Wilkes, these seniors have made life more stimulating and enjoyable for us all. The efforts of these people have done much toward helping Wilkes to grow on all levels of endeavor. They have helped to promote the good will that exists between the college and the community. It is with extreme pleasure that we honor these campus personalities. We honor them with the feeling of a debt of gratitude for the many contributions they have made to us during their stay at Wilkes.

R. Price Bernice Thomas 51 �The Student Council, the central governing body of students at Wilkes; finished the school year with a successful record of student government and social activities. This year's council was truly representative of all sections of the campus, bringing together student leaders from every department at Wilkes. Along with their usual activities, the Council also acted as a co-ordinating group between the administration and the student body, with council members attending a number of Administrative Council meetings. Greater unity in direction of student activities was achieved by this year's council by organizing all club, class, and activity presidents. This group aided in co-ordinating student activities and eliminating conflicts in the social calendar. A new Student Body Scholarship was initiated by the Student Council by using the surplus funds in the Student Activity Fund at the end of each school year. The scholarship will be awarded by a committee of Council members and the Administrative Council to a member of the student body. Traditional Council activities were received with great enthusiasm by the students. The Freshmen's Get Acquainted Party, and the Cinderella Ball proved again to be the highlights of the social calendar, while the Winter Carnival attracted a large crowd of students at El Pocono Dude Ranch. The Thanksgiving All-College Dance set a new attendance record, with over 1,000 students and guests from colleges throughout the state. It proved to be the most successful dance held in recent years.

The Freshman year has somehow slipped behind them in a blur of games, dances, studying, and exams. They are oriented to college life; it is part of them. Whether they realize it or not, Betty and Joe are faced with a decision. They have sampled knowledge from many fields; now they must choose one on which to concentrate during their remaining years in college. It is important to choose wisely, for future happiness may depend on their choice. Although some graduates enter careers only slightly related to their college studies, most will spend the rest of their lives working in the field of their college major. It is essential that they can enjoy their work, be interested in it, and do it well. The sophomore may not realize that he has made a decision. He may only know that he likes the field he has entered and has no desire to change. Yet another may find that he has lost interest or is not suited for the curriculum he chose. He must determine where his interests lie or what his abilities are and enter a field where he can utilize his full capacity and realize his ambitions. So Betty and Joe make their decision perhaps carefully, perhaps carelessly. Whatever it is, may they abide by it and be satisfied. r �DAVID VANN President SAM PUMA Vice President The Class of 1958 entered its Sophomore year with a flourish of activity. The first item to come up was elections. The following officers assumed leadership of the class, David Vann as President, Sam Puma as Vice President. Janice Schuster as Secretary, and Edmund Kotula as Treasurer. The four student council officers elected were Sam Lowe, Clifford Brothers, John Scandale and Virginia Brehm. The class again adopted the Council system, that assumed the responsibility of Freshman hazing. The progressive hazing program which contained several innovations from programs, was terminated at the Freshman-Sophomore sponsored Halloween Ball. JANICE SCHUSTER Secretary EDMUND KOTULA Treasurer An idea which was initiated last year was continued with success, this year. The selling of Chrysanthemums at the "-Homecoming" football game. This, too , helped to increase our treasury. We., then sponsored a Wilkes College "Beard and Mustache Month" climaxed by a dance based on this theme.

Related activities are supplied to meet the needs and interests of every student science major, music major, and education major alike. In these activities, the student often finds himself in new situations or among people he doesn't know or knows only slightly. He soon learns that strangers can become fast friends and that new situations are not so insurmountable as they may at first seem. Perhaps the most important effect of activities on the student is the promotion of fellowship. Betty and Joe discover that everyone has something in common; they are all human. Because of this, all have their own particular likes and dislikes; all have their own ideas, beliefs, mannerisms, and idiosyncracies. Once this fact is realized and accepted, it becomes relatively easy to accept all men for what they are, not what one would like them to be or what one believes they should be. By working hand in hand with people who have similar interests, Betty and Joe become tolerant of others' views and aware of their feelings. This phase of fellowship is very important in a world such as ours, where people of all races and creeds must live together and work together. Such fellowship as is bred through campus activities is necessary for peace in our world and for peace within ourselves. I - �greatly increased in number and strength. The very successful affairs held throughout the year were of three types: those open only to members, those held for new students and for high school seniors, and the all college affairs. The Theta Delta Rho Sorority of Wilkes College continued its traditional program of social and service activities during 1955-56. These officers served as leaders for the organization: Bernice Thomas, President; Geri Kolotelo, Vice President; Peggy Stevens, Secretary; Margaret Smith, Treasurer; Jessie Roderick, Social Chairman.

Under the capable leadership of Howard Gross, the Lettermen's Club has had another successful year. It must be kept in mind that school spirit is necessary to the well rounded student. Therefore, the club inaugurated Booster Days for the Basketball, Soccer, and Wrestling teams. All three days proved to be successful. The club which is a service organization, must earn funds to finance its extensive program. To obtain this goal, the club sponsors an annual raffle and shoe-shine day, providing not only funds, but proves to be an asset to campus life. The April Showers Ball, under the chairmanship of Joe Wilk, proved to be another bright feather in the Letterman's cap. The Christmas Formal is the biggest event on Campus each year. Glen Carey, served as General Chairman for the second year, and Jarrel Cashmere as the chairman of decorations. The success of this dance has equaled if not surpassed any of the Club's previous dances. This was proved by the fact that the attendance was al- The Lettermen's Club only succeeds because of the combined efforts of the club.

Putting on plays fulfills its obligation as a theater. But the real value lies in the integrity of its performances. It can never outgrow that responsibility. Last April at the gymnasium, two studentdirected plays were presented on a double bill. William Crowder directed and acted in O'Neill's "The Emperor Jones," and Howard Ennis directed and performed in Shaw's "Androcles and the Lion." J· ;;,- This season Cue 'n Curtain produced exerpts from "The Forefathers," in conjunction with the centennary celebration of the birth of the Polish poet-playwright, Adam Mickiewicz. The Women's Club for the Polish Room at Wilkes College sponsored the event and donated the proceeds to the college. Performers were college students, alumni, and community actors. Also in the fall, Cue 'n Curtain audiences saw the hilarious farce, "Nothing But the Truth." Dress rehearsals were held with the Wyoming Valley Philharmonic orchestra practicing in the lobby, stage crews painting flats on the floor of the gym, the light crew tying cable to the rafters, wrestlers exercising on the mats, and the basketball team completing a practice session . . .

Durinq the 1954-1955 season, the squad captured such tournaments as the Princeton Novice, the Johns Hopkins, the Notre Dame, the District 7, and the Bucknell Invitation. These, however, were mere stepping stones to the team's greatest achievement - that of placing second in the nation at West Point last year. The team attended a total of IO tournaments and won 70 debates out of 95 , one of the most impressive records in collegiate debating. Although hurt by the graduation of the two men who comprised last year's two-man team, Nick Flannery and James Neveras, this year's team did a fi~e job. The team this year consisted of Jesse Choper, John Bucholtz, Fred Roberts, Virginia Brehm, Tom Lally , Seymour Holtzman, and Bruce Warshall. This year's two-man team was Jesse Choper and John Bucholtz. They placed third at the Johns Hopkins Tournament where Choper was selected as the third best speaker. Choper bu ilt up a fine record for himself winning an average of three out of every four debates. John Bucholtz t ournament . The Debating Society is certainly one of the most active organizations on campus. The team travelled hundreds of miles to attend the various tournaments.

The Club's purposes are furthering the recruiting of young people for the Teaching Profession and stimulating future teachers to learn more of their profession. Working with the F.T.A. and Wilkes' Education Department, the club accomplishes these things. The club holds meetings three times monthly. Various topics related to the Education Profession are discussed by club members, by speakers in the field, and by films depicting our schools and their problems. Other special projects are also carried on by the club members, such as establishing F.T.A. clubs within the local high schools.

Under the leadership of George Silewski , President, and Dr. Harold Thatcher, advisor, a series of question-and-answer periods were held. Important historic sites were visited and a speaker from the Israeli Office of Information in New York was sponsored. The Club joined the social whirl by presenting a square dance in its first function as host to the college men and women. The INTERNATIONAL RELATION S CLUB was organized to acquaint its constituents with the workings of the political world . In achieving this end, the group t raveled to Harrisburg each April to participate in a mock convention sponsored by the Intercollegiate Conference on Government. In addition, various other regional conferences are attended each year. The club has also contributed to campus social life by sponsoring successful dances during the year. they presented an original research paper. Socially the Society has sponsored two successful dances, two wiener roasts, and its annual Christmas Party. The Biological Society of Wilkt s College rs open to all students interested in biology. This year, the club has been engaged in many educational and social activities. The Society has heard guest speakers from Wyoming Valley; and members of the faculty have addressed the Society, speaking on timely and interesting topics. Films to help broaden the students' knowledge in biology and to show the relationship of biology to other fields have been presented. Members of the Society are eagerly beginning two research projects, one in conjunction with Dr. Sheldon Cohen and another with the WilkesBarre General Hospital.

Associated with the American Chemical Society as a Student Affiliate Chapter, it is also an active member of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Chemistry Society. The social events of the Club include its Fall and Spring Farmer Dances, an outing, and an annual Christmas party. A banquet held by one of the member colleges climaxes the activities of the Intercollegiate Chemistry Society. Perhaps the largest undertaking of the Club during the school year is the Annual Science Show at Wilkes College. Here, the members construct and demonstrate to local high school students the various apparatuses used in chemistry. An annual field trip is also scheduled to some large chemical plant so that the students may see the industry at first hand.

Making a few longer trips, the club went to Wilmington, Delaware to tour the Dupont Company's plants and to New York City, where they visited the Chase Manhattan Bank and the New York Stock Exchange. The club closed its very successful year with its annual outing. The main purpose of the SOCIETY FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF MANAGEMENT is to create an understanding of all phases of business life. The club acts as a supplement to the actual classroom studies in the field of business through its program of guest speakers, panel discussions, attendance of Senior Chapter meetings, and field trips.

Among its activities were tours of WBRE-TV and Wilkes-Barre Publishing Co., both of which were interesting and rewarding. Also, Tom Moran, editor of the Independent, spoke to the club members. The PSYCHOLOGY - SOCIOLOGY CLUB, which is still in the formative stages, has drawn up and ratified a constitution, besides being active on campus. Under the leadership of Dave Fischi and the guidance of Dr. Symonolewicz and Mr. Riley, the club has managed to arrange seminars with personalities in the social-psychology field.

By now, their course of study is determined, and they will spend this year working toward the objective they have chosen. More and more the student finds himself studying subjects closely related to his major. Surveys are things of the past. He is now involved in courses which delve deeply into the subject matter, courses which break down the surveys into their component parts and dwell on each one in all its subtleties and details. The work becomes harder and demands more of the student's time and thought. However, it is interesting, and he knows that he is growing closer to reaching his objective. Therefore he is willing to work longer and harder to master each step. Betty and Joe may now choose more electives than before. Perhaps they will select those that are closely related to their major; perhaps those that give them an insight into other fields will better suit their desires. In either case, they are free to choose those subjects which will satisfy their needs and help them to reach their goal, whether it is a specialized field or a broad general education. As time goes on, Betty and Joe find that their work and study are bringing them closer and closer to their goal. Willingly they will work toward it, knowing that in the future the goal will be reached. \Z~~~ -~~i:; ~ •,'!\~f,. Jl,.,'A • V ' i ..

Those representing the Class in the Student Council were Nancy Morris, Don Reynolds, Les Weiner, and Larry Amdur. The Class helped begin the social whirl at Wilkes by sponsoring a sport dance. Their next affair, called "Carnival Time," was also a success and provided one of the most fun-filled evenings on the College Calendar. Throughout the year, the Class of 1957 maintained its social standing on campus with such affairs as its Class ice-skating PHYLLIS WALSH Secretary JOHN COATES Treasurer party, its swimming party and the Class outing. Many members of the Class of 1957 proved themselves in campus activities, such as Jesse Choper and John Bucholtz in debating, Nancy Morris in the Student Council; Les Weiner as Dorm-President of Ashley Hall; and Jim Miller and Larry Amdur in Cue 'n Curtain. Not to be denied in athletic circles either, Bill Farish, Neil Dadurka, John Bresnahan, and Don Reynolds were mainstays on their respective teams.

A broad program of sports, both intramural and intermural, is provided so that all students have the chance to participate. Through taking parf in the games, the student cultivates a spirit of teamwork and cooperation. He learns to think of the team as a whole and to play for the benefit of the }eam, instead of thinking only of himself and what he can do to stand out. Each player is part of a working unit which, to run smoothly, depends on the cooperation of every member. Without teamwork, there is no team. Instead there is only a group of players with nothing to integrate them, nothing to make them play together. Sports also give the student a sense of sportsmanship .and fair play. He comes to understand that the most important part of the game is not winning, but rather playing to the best of his ability for the benefit of the team. He must win or lose like a sportsman.

Due to the loss of many key players, the Colonels never quite came up to expectations. The gridders had five returning seniors, four of them members of the forward wall. Joe Wilk and Cliff Brautigan were the Colonels' top tackles. Glenn Carey operated from the center post while acting as captain. Also in his last year of play was Bob Masonis , outstanding defensive guard. The only backfield member in his final season was Howie Gross, who proved to be the sharp-shooting passer needed for the gridders' attack. The team was rounded out by 25 underclassmen. In unveiling their new "T" formation attack, the Colonels were hampered by costly fumbles which helped Lebanon Valley to a smashing 41 to 6 victory. Dick Wozniak climaxed the only touchdown drive of the gridders with a sweeping play around right end for the score.

IC �Even a flood of bad breaks couldn't keep the 1955 soccer team from a third straight winning season. After a slow start, the Blue and Gold boaters went on to a season of five wins, three ties and three losses. In their first major league schedule, the Colonels amassed the most wins in the school's history. The boaters were sorely hit before the season even started when star halfback Ahmad Kazimi was sidelined for the season by illness. The backfield then lost Dave Polley in mid-season after he had played the best game of his career against Hofstra, Wilkes' first win. After losing to Rider, 3-2, and Lafayette, 1-0, Carl Van Dyke pulled the hat trick by scoring every Wilkes goal in the 3-2 win over Hofstra. Another bad break caused a 0-0 tie with Muhlenberg as both teams were literally blown off the field before the half by a heavy rain and wind storm. ;h The big game of the year followed a few days later at Philadelphia where the Colonels and Tempie sloshed through a driving rainstorm. Temple, runners-up for the National Championship in 1954, won 3-1. Van Dyke got his sixth goal of the year against the Owls. With only one win to show for five tilts, the boaters then went on a binge to rip off the next six without a loss. They played what was probably their finest game of the year, against Elizabethtown, 3-1. This tilt marked the first time a Wilkes soccer squad played under the lights. Captain Parker Petrilak was brilliant in the goal. Bucknell scored a goal a minute before the end of the second overtime period to tie the boaters 2-2 in the next game. George Batterson came off the bench to add another win for the Colonels with a final score of 3-2. Hank Deibel had the other two tallies. Petrilak starred again. Jim Ferris racked up his first goal of the year while Giordano was getting his third as Wilkes won its third of the year, 2-1 over Trenton State Teachers College.

Giordano scored his fourth, and Younsu Koo banged home his first goal of the year. The final contest of the season saw t\ie Colonels coast to a 3-2 triumph over Philadelphia Textile. Jim Ferris made his last game a great one by scoring two long goals. Giordano got his sixth. Koo goes in after the ball as Hank covers. Ten seniors paced this year's fine team to its record accomplishments. They were: Younsu Koo, Carl Van Dyke, Fred Boote, Hank Deibel, Sam Shugar, Glenn Phethean, Joe Popple, Captain Parker Petrilak, George Batterson, and Jim Ferris. At the end of the season, freshman star Nick Giordano was given honorable mention to the Tri-State Tearn. Younsu Koo, who came all the way from Seoul, South Korea, to attend Wilkes, was named the outstanding soccer player of the year at the annual sports banquet. While Koo was hampered by a bad leg, his defensive play and ball handling were outstanding throughout the year. Carl scores. International flavor, Nick, Younsu, and Ahmad .

The former athlete's first club compiled a record of I I wins against 14 losses. However, a quick glance at the slate does not tell the whole story of his initial season at Wilkes. After winning the opener in fine style at home against Ithaca by an 87 to 72 tally, the Blue and Gold courtmen dropped their next four games to Bloomsburg, Rider, Yeshiva, and Moravian on a disasterous four-game road trip which put the squad deep in the hole early in the season. Bloom soundly beat the locals, but the remaining three were by less than ten points. Only too glad to see the surroundings of their home floor, the Colonels got back into the winning column by downing stubborn Susquehanna by a 72 to 70 score. To wind up their action before the Christmas recess, Wilkes entered the Sampson Air Force Base Tournament and came in third by beating defending champion Hosika by a 70 to 62 score, after dropping another close one to Hartwick by a 70 to 66 score. with Lycoming, the Colonels suffered their first defeat at home by a 91 to 79 score. Scranton and Elizabethtown then handed the courtmen defeats; but they bounded back by beating Bridgeport by an 82 to 76 margin. The Colonels then lost three consecutive games to Mansfield, Lafayette, and Lebanon Valley. The bright spot of the season was an impressive victory over Bloomsburg to avenge an early season, 85 to 60 whipping. In following games Lycoming took the Colonels, but Wilkes came back to defeat Harper 99 to 76. The results of the last few games of the season were: Wilkes 54, Hofstra 81; Wilkes 89, Mansfield 72; Wilkes 71, East Stroudsburg 75; and Wilkes 81, Philadelphia Pharmacy 58. • For the most part this year's edition of the Colonel courtmen lacked height. George Morgan, 6-4 center, and John Bresnahan, 6-2 forward, were the extent of the height for the Blue and Gold. Pint-sized 5-8 Jim Ferris, dynamo for the club, along with smoothy Carl Van Dyke and easy-going Joe Jablonski rounded out the starting five. • George and Joe outrun the Ithaca hoopsters. After the holiday layoff the Blue and Gold continued to be plagued on the road and dropped close tilts inside the ten-point margin to Ithaca and Hartwick. Ithaca avenged an early season beating at the hands of the Colonels while Hartwick repeated a win inflicted on the local courtmen in the Sampson Tourney. Then the Davis charges returned home and continued their mastery on their court by winning over Newark College of Rutgers by a 65 to 55 score. However, in their following home game First row: Carl Yan Dyke, Jim Ferris, Ed Birmbaum, Cliff Brautigan, Bob Sokol, Joe Jablanski. Second row: Coach Eddie Davis, Ed Troutman, Elmer Snyder, John Bresnahan, Dave Shales, George Morgan, Walt Angielski, Scott Trethaway, Manager Hank Diebel.

John Reese's grapplers went on to establish some of the highest records ever set by a Wilkes team . Ending the season with a 28-8 victory over Brooklyn Polytech, the matmen set a nine-win record for the season by defeating Hofstra, 2013; Lafayette, 17-1 I; (the only defeat of the season for Lafayette, which later took the MidAtlantic States' Championship) Ithaca, 15-13; Stroudsburg, 37-3; Kings' Point, 21-3; Muhlenburg, 22-6; Swarthmore, 29-3; C. C. N. Y., 24-10. The team's one loss, protested, was to Bloomsburg, 15-17. Reese's grapplers averaged some 21 points per contest during the entire season, ended up with 190 points, the highest ever made by a Wilkes team, and they also had a string of six consecutive wins, which was another unmatched accomplishment. Even personal records went out the window this season as Bob Masonis, Don Reynolds, and Dave Thomas tied with eight victories apiece. Masonis went on to garner the highest total of individual points, added up 39, while Reynolds and Thomas kept close behind with 35 and 33 respectively. This season was the last for two of Reese's proteges, Masonis and Sam Shugar. Masonis, cocaptain this year with Reynolds, wrestled in the heavyweight class, while Shugar, starting late, was undefeated in his three bouts. The Matmen drilling for their next encounter.

A combination of study, work, prayer, and luck has brought them to their last year at Wilkes. They think that now, perhaps, they will be able to relax a little. Studies shouldn't be too demanding, and they will have more spare time. However, they are to discover that this is not true. The work is as difficult, the hours as long as ever. The senior studies, and time goes on. At last the day of graduation arrives. Looking back, Betty and Joe can trace their steps through previous years and feel confident that now they are ready to take their places in the community. All the college learning necessary for success in their respective fields has been completed. What happens now depends on them. Wilkes can do no more for them; they are on their own. . ... . ' In many ways they will be sorry to leave. They can't help looking back on their happy years at Wilkes. In the rosy glow of reminiscence, they recall their years here the games, dates, dances, and outings that were so much fun, the warm friends they have made, and the enjoyment of the serious talks or nonsense around the lunch table or between classes - and it seems very difficult to go. Yet, Betty and Joe find themselves looking forward with eager anticipation to their futures. Finally they will be able to do the work for which they have been preparing most of their lives. . ...... ,.,._ _ ..,_,,,\ -• i:S, . •,' ~ . J?e? '(J' /<1119 \ �GEORGE BAHERSON President B.S. in C.F. HENRY GOETZMAN Vice President B.S. in C.F. it seems only yesterday that we joined together as Freshmen and started the struggle toward our individual as well as our mutual goals. Without a doubt, the most noteworthy feature of our years together has been the realization that a true sense of community has been shared by students and faculty. We have had our moments of joy, and our share of sorrow. The football games, the dances, and the plays will exist only as memories. Interwoven with these memories is the significant attainment of knowledge. Without knowledge there cannot be open mindedness for which the world pleads. Knowledge is also the foundation for sound judgement - judgement that each man JESSIE RODERICK Secretary B.S. in El. Ed. HOWARD GROSS Treasurer B.S. in C.F. must make as he seeks to discern falseness from reality. We must begin now to dedicate our minds and our hearts to the ideals of service to mankind, ideals which we have learned through associations with the instructors here at Wilkes. We are truly thankful for their guidance and companionship over the years. We are now ready to face new challenges and new opportunities. Our quest into an unknown future can be made more confidently if we heed the inscription by the steps of the Archives Building in Washington which states "What is Past is Prologue."

The tax clinic, a College-supported activity, helps lawyers and accountants to better understand the new tax laws as each is passed. The laws are explained and discussed in detail. The Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of Ferdinand Liva, is a community activity aided greatly by Wilkes. The College contributes many of its better musicians to the Orchestra, thus helping to make it the success it is. Another community activity in which Wilkes takes a large part is the Nationalities Pageant, held each spring in the Wilkes gymnasium. All the nationalities living in the valley are represented, and each presents some of the customs and folk songs and dances inherent to it. Many Wilkes students contribute much time and effort to making it a success and to preserving the cultural heritage of these nationalities in our country. Wilkes contributes its graduates to the community. The education given them helps them to better their own lives and to enrich the lives of the people of the community. In this way, Wilkes helps to establish and maintain a standard of better living for all. da �Ferdinand Liva conducts. The new String Quartet renders a classical work. Brass section rehearses.

Four-year courses in nursing education and in art education have been established, thus expandi~g the curriculum offered. Also within the school itself, great additions have been made to the College Library in new volumes and in rare editions ► On the national scale, Wilkes has achieved new recognition. Our graduates have been accepted in graduate schools and medical schools. Our athletes are now members of the Middle Atlantic Conference, a group of colleges following athletic policies similar to ours. Included among them are such schools as Dickinson, Ursinas, and Susquehanna. The annual Wrestling Tournament, open to all colleges, has also put Wilkes in the national eye through magazine articles and wide newspaper coverage. Yet all this growth is behind us. Let us take a look to the future. Wilkes shall continue to achieve and expand. Already a grant has been given to us enabling the building of a new Science Building. The future will also see a beautiful modern Arts Building added to the campus. Other future developments can only be surmised. But, basing predictions on past growth, we feel that Wilkes will continue its program of expansion - in size. in recognition, and in scholastic achievement. �WHY YOUNG MEN and WOMEN SHOULD CONSIDER IRETAILING I BEFORE CHOOSING A CAREER • Architects and Engineers Every year at this time, young men and women get serious about this question: what next?

By his genius he has reduced both distance and time and has brought men closer to one another; by his weakness he maintains and builds psychological barriers that separate men from their fellow men. As the barriers of space and time have yielded to man's slow and patient conquest of his physical environment, so must the barriers between men yield to the painstaking search of enlightened minds. As man's control of his physical surroundings has awaited the release and development of his intelligence, so must man's control of himself 4 await the release and nurturing of his spiritual powers. With an adequate measure of faith in one's self and one's neighbor, the barriers of prejudice and fear can slowly be disintegra ted. If the racial, religious and national divisions of our tim e are to be resolved the individual must assume greater responsibility for his acts and must be ever conscious that man responds in kind. Man reaps as he sows and good ultimately produces good. It is my hope that in your years at Wilkes you have gained a staunch faith that men of intelligence and good will can resolve the seemingly msurmountable problems of our times. 7 his has be~ ies, centered aroun c events, smattered w lenge the intellect. of God" in which volve.

Man good ultimately produces your years at Wilkes you th that men of intelligence ,Ive the seemingly msurur times. FOREWORD 7 his has been a year crowded with memories, centered around desires, marked by significant events, smattered with confusion, designed to challenge the intellect. The mind is the " masterpiece of God" in which all thought and activities revolve. To lose it, the individual becomes the most destitute of creatures, to attempt to reach its potential is an impossibility. Within this framework, truth, knowledge, attitude, character are formed at Wilkes. Studies, Sports, Clubs, Drama, Tea s, Dances, all enter in the making of the ma ture individual. From the moment the freshman walks through the portals of Chase Hall, till the tim e he walks across the platform at the Gymnasium for his diploma, he is faced with conflicts, decisions, disillusionments, hopes, and fears. Despite all these opposing forces, the individual with intellectual deliberateness conquers his fears, compromises his conflicts, stands firm by his decisions, and succeeds in dispelling his disillusionments. The 1957 Amnicola hopes to recall to you the faces and happenings of the past year. It has been conceived as a mirror of the everydayness of college life. We hope you enjoy our presentation and return to it again and again as time progresses. ~ 5 �h is is the era tha a s the Atomic Age. Grea ti ymous of the time.

Greatness and power are synonymous of the time. Man's attempt to conquer the elements of na ture is rapidly becoming a reality. The educated man has become the very breath of life to all ideologies, plans, and projects. Dreams and Ideals have materialized because of his desire to learn more and rnore about each minute detail which surround s his everyday living. The thirst for knowledge has become a driving force. Yet this very same knowled ge has done more to destroy that which it has taken centuries to build . Here at Wilkes, the ultimate aim is also knowl- edge. But it is more than that. The learning process is slanted toward that which is good for mankind, not only the individual's personal gain. When the student recognizes that the means do not justify the end, that those who know everything-know nothing, that individuality is more important than conformity- does he find himself on the path to knowledge. The student achieves his goal by tempering justice with mercy, combining knowledge with wisdom, and assuming the element of doubt with the presented concrete facts . �ADMINISTRATION S ince its inception as a four year school in 1948,, the growth of Wilkes College has been rapid but graceful. That the college has found within itself the capacity to expand both its physical plant and student body while maintaining its constantly high academic standards is a tribute to the foresight and careful planning of the administration. Even more important to the student is the fact that his friendly relationship with members of the administration staff has not been altered. The doors of Chase Hall are always open to the student who feels the need to discuss the difficulties of progress. The efforts of the administration to serve people, however, go beyond the student body, into the community. Without the inspiration and hard work of the administration staff, it would be impossible for the college to participate so actively and with such success in the intellectual life of the Valley. STANLEY H. WASILES Director of Evening S< This year we have seen the skillful management of the college during a period of rapid growth.

We are transported to another time, another place; we learn to appreciate the genius and psyche of all mankind. "To live with the humanities is indeed experience of the essential kind, since they take us beyond the local and accidental, at the same moment that lets us know how uniquely valuable place and time can be." At Wilkes the humanities division encompasses those disciplines which embrace all of man's creative thought; English, foreign languages, art, mathematics, music, philosophy and religion. In each of the fields of study, the primary purpose is to help the student to utilize the storehouse of knowledge found in the works of the great thinkers of the past and present. The aim of the college in presenting the humanities is not merely to acquaint the student with the genius of the past, but to make the humanities a useful art. All education is useful, and none rmore so than the kind that makes men free to possess their nature. These studies become discussion rooms and laboratories in the art of thinking, expressing, analyzing, and understanding man's place in this world. The humanities serve to interpret all of the complexities of living. CATHAL B. O'TOOLE, l' Art JOHN J.

Engineering THE SCIENCES '3U ith man's first attempt to deterrriine the why and the what of the natural :world, science was born. Those ancient scientists of Egypt, Greece, and Rome established the present pattern for scientific research; observation, hypothesis, and examination. This axiom has not been changed or altered here at Wilkes. The departments,. however, not only rely on what has been proven in the past, but a combination of the past with the present. Basic laws have been disproven, because students of science found an element of doubt in that area. Here too, the sciences have found it necessary to open its doors to other sciences such as Psychology. At Wilkes the science department now includes chemistry, biology, physics, engineering, and psychology. The chief function of the department is to acquaint the novitiates with the laboratories, the drafting rooms, and to expound the basic tools uncovered by those great men of the past and the present, who have succeeded in wresting from nature her secrets. CA THERINE H. I Chemistry Abstractions and theories are not science-they are part of the scientific method. And to study science is to obligate one's self to all men.

The departments within the Social Science division range from Nursing Education where the vocation is care and physical aid, to Retailing Merchandising where the student learns the operation and procedures of management, sales, and the fine art of competition. Included within this vast field are economics, elementary and secondary education, history, sociology, business administration, secretarial, and accounting. Students majoring in any of these subjects are not restricted to only classroom instruction. Much is learned from the extracurricular activities. The respective departm~nts have constructed a balanced, complete curriculum which enables each student to acquire both the liberal background and the special training needed for each individual's goal.

The Evening Division of Wilkes has been, since the day of its inauguration, one of the school's outstanding contributions to the community. For those unable to attend the college during the day because of lack of time or because of their hours of employment, the Evening Division has performed an efficient and useful function. Because most of the students are working towards a degree, most of the courses offered in the evening school closely parallel those of the day school. With those who seek to broaden their knowledge or skill, the evening school has found another community need to he filled by the college. Those not seeking degrees may enjoy the advantages of many practical courses offered in the evening school. Many of the 550 students of the evening school are working toward a degree. Without the facilities provided by Wilkes many of these students would he unable to complete their education. Now they can still maintain their jobs and earn the coveted degrees which they seek.

The first stop is at the Guidance Center, located in Hollenback, where all incoming students must take aptitude tests. The last stop is at the Placement office, also in Hollenback, where seniors seek jobs. The Guidance Center is of help not only to freshmen in finding their aptitude and abilities but also to upperclassmen who may take batteries of tests to help them choose major fields or careers. The testing facilities of the Guidance Center are used not only by the college but also by many community institutions such as banks, hospitals, and The men in the gray flannel suits. those industries which require testing of personnel. The Guidance center also aids the State with its rehabilitation program for handicapped persons. The Placement Office conducts a far reaching program to help graduates who seek employment and to students who desire part-time positions.

Due to the infinite number of books published each year, Mrs. Nada Vujica, head librarian, is confronted with the task of selecting and supplying • the library with those books that would 'best supplement the students at Wilkes. She is. assisted by Mr. George Ermel, Circulation and Reference Librarian, Mrs. G. Schappert, Cataloguing and Reference Librarian, and Miss Frances Hopkins, Secretary. With the aid of student assistants, the library maintains a seventy hour week throughout the year to insure the students of continual service. �'"The library is the medicine for the soul." Anonymous 33 �BOOKSTORE 7 he bookstore, the gathering place for knowledge se,cond only to the classroom, is where we have the pleasure of socializing while obtaining hooks that will lead us to greater heights. Students wander in and out for activity passes and tickets to various affairs. Miss Millie Gittens, the manager of this little domain, issues words of advice with every text and notebook purchased. Along with the bookstore a new co-ed lounge has been established in Harding Hall. Throughout the year, students have found this lounge a haven from the hustle and hustle of the campus activities. Here events of the day are discussed and notes compared over a cup of hot coffee. �MAINTENANCE 7he well kept lawns, the neatly trimmed hedges, the efficiently heated buildings, prove once again that the maintenance crew is constantly on the job. These men, headed by Mr. William Jervis play an important and integral part of the campus. With a staff of eight full time employees, and aided by student assistants, the crew sees to it that the many buildings, spaced over three city blocks, plus the grounds around them add to the beauty of the college and the community. The praise of passers-by confirm the fact that the maintenance crew is continually performing its job in a more than creditable manner. �7 he ninth annual commencement of Wilkes College was held on Monday evening, June 4, 1956 in the college gymnasium. The graduates assembling on the lawn behind Chase and Kirby Halls marched en masse to the gym led by Dr. Eugene S. Farley, and Admiral Harold R. Stark, United States Navy (retired), who was the principal speaker, addressed the graduates on Wyoming Valley; Past, Present, and Future. Highest honors of the 1956 class were received by Patricia Ruthe Stout graduating summa cum laude, while Marianna Claire Kraynack, Bernice Ann Thomas, Jesse Alice Roderick, and Michael Joseph Barone took second place honors graduat- ing magna cum laude.

The transitional stage from high school to college is exceedingly difficult even for those adequately prepared. However difficult the adjustment, the year is enriched by the very fact of college life, by the lasting friendships made, and by the accomplishments achieved. It is within this span of time that the foundation of their aims are formulated. The determinants of success are sought. Abilities in various fields are recognized. What am I doing? Where am I heading? What am I achieving? The freshman asks himself these questions over and over agam. And only he can answer them. The price of success comes high. It is not achieved by a mere dream. The combination of perseverence, responsibility, and character all enter into the making of the finished product. As the individual learns, he grows m stature, knowledge, and potential. Despite the obstacles placed in the students' path, the successful individual realizes that no hurdle is too high, no obstacle too great, if the dream is worthy of becoming a reality.

Ten seniors were lost by the graduation route, including such performers as Parker Petrilak, Carl Van Dyke, Tri-State honorable mention Younsu Koo, and Fred Boote. As a result of these losses, Coach Reese fielded a young and inexperienced team. However, their lack of experience was offset by their willingness to learn. Only two seniors, Captain Ahmed Kazimi and Jim Stocker, were included in the line-up on opening day. The hooters got off to a slow start, losing to such opponents as Rider, Muhlenberg, Gettysburg, and Halfback Ed Masonis Wins were then registered at the expense of Elizabethtown and Hofstra, the latter a 2-0 shutout. Excellent line play and brilliant defensive work by Tony Bianco and first-year goalie, Bob Sokol kept the Colonel goal unscathed. Carl Havira, Nick Giordano and Ed Masonis contributed with fine line play as the Colonels racked up their first shut-out of the season. Although the Wilkesmen ended up with their first losing season in four years with a 2-2-6 record, Coach Reese is highly optimistic about the chances for next year.

The record was all the more impressive because the entire cage team was composed of undergraduates. Three of the starting five members, George Gacha, Fran Mikalones, and Bob Turley were freshmen. The other two men, Ed Birnbaum and George Morgan and alternate starters Bob Sokol and Elmer Snyder were juniors. The big story of the basketball season was the brilliant performance of Colonel center, George Morgan.

Defeating such stalwarts as Hofstra, Muhlenberg, CCNY, and Lafayette, the Blue and Gold grapplers rolled to nine consecutive wins before being tied by a powerful Millersville team, 13-13. This gives the Wilkesmen a record of 17 consecutive wins over the past two seasons. The Colonel grapplers, "Skeet" Williams, 123 pounder, and Jim Ward, 130, were undefeated throughout the season. Dave Thomas and "Tiger" Don Reynolds, 157 and 137 pounds respectively, suffered only one loss during the year. Walt Glogowski, 177, had a 9-2 record. Terry Smith, 147 was 8-2 for the year, and Neil Dadurka, unlimited, had a 7-3 record . Ward established a new Wilkes record for points scored during a single season by scoring 41 to eclipse Bob Masonis' old mark of 39.

Competition was open to all colleges, independent or unattached, and assaciation wrestlers with amateur standing. The team championship was won for the second consecutive year by the Pitt Panthers. Finishing second was Lock Haven State Teachers College followed by Lehigh and Michigan. The Tournament, dubbed by sport writers "the Rose Bowl of Wrestling" attracted entrants from various points across the country. Wrestlers from forty-five teams were represented. Among some of those returning were Michigan State, Indiana, Cornell, Penn State, Pitt, Lehigh, and Navy. Winning honors for the tournament's most outstanding wrestler was Jim Ellis, 167 pound grappler from Indiana. Larry Fornicola, Bellefonte YMCA, winner of the award the previous year, tied for the highest point honors with Bill Oberly, (unattached), and Bill Billet of York YMCA. The Tournament, which attracted over 300 grapplers and over a thousand spectators, is one of the largest of its kind in the country.

Weak hitting on the part of the Colonels resulted in the loss of their next three games. However, Reese's "nine" found its batting eye and captured the next two outings defeating Muhlenberg 5-4 and Lycoming 23-3. Following the two wins were two successive losses administered by Bloomsburg and Ithaca. Three strong arm righthanders, John Milliman, Mel McNew and "Moe" Batterson, together with portsider Ed "Lefty" Birnbaum comprised the "Big Four" pitching staff. The outfield was composed of Co-Captain, Jim Ferris, freshman, Al Balcomb and Al Manarski. The infield consisted of third baseman Bob Sokol, shortstop Ron Rescigno, second baseman Joe Parsnik, first baseman Mike Dydo and John Harvey behind the plate. The Colonels then went on a six-game winning streak. First to fall victim to the rampaging Wilkesmen was East Stroudsburg STC by a 7-1 score. Clutch pitching by McNew resulted in a 2-1 victory over Lebanon Valley. Victories were then recorded over Susquehanna, Cortland and Bloomsburg. The Colonels split the remaining two games overpowering a Scranton team 14-13, and losing to Ithaca 10-7.

Union in May. The team, which worked out feverishly after a late start, dropped all four matches, three of them exceptionally close, and saw several of its members well up in individual standings at the MidAtlantics. With several new faces added to strengthen the team, an official six-game schedule was listed, including a three-way tilt with Scranton and Hofstra. Others on the schedule were Lycoming, Moravian and Harpur,. with the Mid-Atlantic Meet climaxing the season. �GIRLS'BASKETBALL 7he Wilkes Colonelettes under the capable direction of Coach Helen Bubeck had what was termed as "a very successful season from the standpoint of experience gained." The girls lacking experience in this newly-organized activity of the campus left much to be desired on the record sheets with no wins and four losses, but proved themselves with good spirit and determination in each encounter. Only losing one Senior member, Grace Major, stand-out guard, the girls hope to have the nucleus of a well-balanced, high-spirited team in store for next year's fans. �INT RAM URALS 1ntramural sports has probably been one of the fastest growing extracurricular activities on the college campus. Last year's addition of bowling and this year's addition of the Women's Athletic Club are evidence of the growing interest in intramural sports. These new-founded pastimes supplement the old standards of football, basketball, and softball, providing a well-rounded athletic program for those who do not participate in inter-collegiate sports. The intramural program adds to the background of the participants in that it teaches teamwork and leadership. 68 �~ ;t b ���REGINALD MATTIOLI NICK SIECKO President Vice President SOPHOMORES TERRY SMITH Treasurer On,thre 1ntegration completed, the sophomore is a familiar face on campus. He no longer resembles the confused, immature freshman of a year ago. Many changes have been made, decisions have been reverted and the feeling of inadequacy has been replaced by confidence in himself. For the first time, the sophomore sees his dreams slowly moving toward reality. Each day finds another hurdle crossed-another obstacle removed. Each minor achievement becomes another step through the labyrinth of life. He has answered the question presented to him in his freshman year, "Where am I going?" His education as a whole, individually, intellectually, physically, and socially are the determinants for the remaining question; "How should I go?" The individual finds that life is progress. Each Il)inute nudges the preceding minute into the vastness of the past; day replaces day. One more year has gone from his life. But what he has lost in time, he has gained in those things that can not be lost-knowledge-experience-memories. The sophomore approaches the newness of tomorrow with confidence having been prepared by the problems of today. STUDENT COUNCIL MEMBERS RICHARD E.

To them, it is more than a momento of their last year at college. It reflects the culmination of four hard years of work and study. Yet the 1957 Amnicola is not meant to be exclusively the Seniors' yearbook. It is for the classes of 'S.8, '59, and '60 as well. We have made a sincere effort to portray the real spirit of Wilkes within these pages. It is our desire that in years to come, the Amnicola will he a source of enjoyment and fond memories to each and every one of you. ��CAMPUS PERSON ALI TIES he reasons for attending college are many and varied. A college serves as a means of developing personality as well as an institution of higher learning. Throughout their stay at Wilkes, a number of students stood out conspicuously as social and academic leaders. We of the Amnicola staff feel that these students deserve special pictorial recognition as a small reward for their efforts and achievements in making college life more pleasant for us all. These fourteen semors selected for this section of the yearbook have made valuable contributions to the campus life of the college. Their efforts in various fields have not only enriched their own personal lives hut the college and community as well. �111 �BEACON he Beacon, student newspaper at Wilkes, has served as the official news organ of the campus since 1936. It has shed light on the future plans of students and faculty and has proved to be a reliable guide to college opinion. Editor for the year, Tom Meyers, guided the paper through the many controversies in which it took part, and helped to give something constructive to the college, with one thing in mind-to uphold certain journalistic ideals, while allowing freedom of speech by student participation in the ever important column, Letter to the Editor. The success of the paper was evident. At Wilkes nearly everybody reads the Beacon. ��HOMECOMING he weekend of October 12, marked an outstanding event for both Wilkes students and alumni. On that Friday, the grads returned to Wilkes-and began a whirl of Homecoming activities. Student organizations and dormitories competed for top honors in preparing decorations for their college buildings. The themes of Welcome Alumni and Beat Ursinus were featured. A committee of alumni judged these artistic abilities and selected W eckesser Hall as the winner. The coronation of the Homecoming Queen, Marilyn Carl, took place at the big bonfire pep rally held at Baldwin field. Debby Deisher and Carol Goeringer were selected to attend the Queen as the Homecoming Princesses. ��STUDENT COUNCIL 7his was a tremendous year for Student Council of Wilkes College. The Student Council, the central governing body at Wilkes acts as a coordinator between the administration and the students. The problem of the budget has always been a source of controversy throughout the years on campus. However, through debate and discussion, the Council members successfully handled the situation by appropriating student activity funds in accordance with the size and the functions of the individual organizations. Don Reynolds, President of Student Council and the representatives elected from each class have done their utmost to give Wilkes an efficient student government. In addition to the governmental role of the Council, they also sponsored various social events. The Thanskgiving All-College Dance which encompasses not only Wilkes but students and guests from colleges throughout the state proved to be one of the most successful events of the year. Between semesters, the Student Council sponsored its annual Winter Carnival at Pocono Mountin Inn. The Carnival provided a source of welcome relaxation after gruesome finals. The grand finale of all social events was the Cinderella Ball.

The organization's purpose is to provide a training ground for college men to take part in com- munity developments, and to encourage and promote leadership among the group. Since its inception, the organization has taken an active part in such community projects as the Jaycees' orphans' shopping tour, the Wilkes-Barre Parade of Progress, and participation in the Jaycees state convention. tlJ I 142 �lCE to encourage and progroup. organization has taken projects as the tour, the Wilkes-Barre articipation in the Jay- 1 munity ��-~ I • ·. ~ )t'f ·" IP' • , 147 ���WHY YOUNG MEN and WOMEN SHOULD CONSIDER IRETAILING I BEFORE CHOOSING A CAREER Every year at this time, young men and women get serious about this question: what next? Yes, after four years of school, after texts and theories, bull-sessions and books: what next? Where to find the job which will be good enough for a life-time? Out of all the phases of American life, which is the right one for me? Where can I find this blend of ingredients: freedom to express thoughts and ideas; a chance to learn and grow; an opportunity to work with people in a vital, ever-changing basic industry?

The field most centered around the individual is that of the Social Sciences. Ever since the very creation of man, his complexities and capabilities have shaped the world to suit his needs and wants. The departments within the Social Science division range from Nursing Education where the vocation is care and physical aid, to Retailing Merchandising where the student learns the operation and procedures of management, sales, and the fine art of competition. Included within this vast field are economics, elementary and secondary education, history, sociology, business administration, secretarial, and accounting. Students majoring in any of these subjects are not restricted to only classroom instruction. Much is learned from the extracurricular activities. The respective departm~nts have constructed a balanced, complete curriculum which enables each student to acquire both the liberal background and the special training needed for each individual's goal. Both the studies and activities in this field have enabled its students to take their place in the world. SAMUEL A. ROSENBEI Economics RUTH W.

The Evening Division of Wilkes has been, since the day of its inauguration, one of the school's outstanding contributions to the community. For those unable to attend the college during the day because of lack of time or because of their hours of employment, the Evening Division has performed an efficient and useful function. Because most of the students are working towards a degree, most of the courses offered in the evening school closely parallel those of the day school. With those who seek to broaden their knowledge or skill, the evening school has found another community need to he filled by the college. Those not seeking degrees may enjoy the advantages of many practical courses offered in the evening school. Many of the 550 students of the evening school are working toward a degree. Without the facilities provided by Wilkes many of these students would he unable to complete their education. Now they can still maintain their jobs and earn the coveted degrees which they seek.

The first stop is at the Guidance Center, located in Hollenback, where all incoming students must take aptitude tests. The last stop is at the Placement office, also in Hollenback, where seniors seek jobs. The Guidance Center is of help not only to freshmen in finding their aptitude and abilities but also to upperclassmen who may take batteries of tests to help them choose major fields or careers. The testing facilities of the Guidance Center are used not only by the college but also by many community institutions such as banks, hospitals, and The men in the gray flannel suits. those industries which require testing of personnel. The Guidance center also aids the State with its rehabilitation program for handicapped persons. The Placement Office conducts a far reaching program to help graduates who seek employment and to students who desire part-time positions.

Due to the infinite number of books published each year, Mrs. Nada Vujica, head librarian, is confronted with the task of selecting and supplying • the library with those books that would 'best supplement the students at Wilkes. She is. assisted by Mr. George Ermel, Circulation and Reference Librarian, Mrs. G. Schappert, Cataloguing and Reference Librarian, and Miss Frances Hopkins, Secretary. With the aid of student assistants, the library maintains a seventy hour week throughout the year to insure the students of continual service. �'"The library is the medicine for the soul." Anonymous 33 �BOOKSTORE 7 he bookstore, the gathering place for knowledge se,cond only to the classroom, is where we have the pleasure of socializing while obtaining hooks that will lead us to greater heights. Students wander in and out for activity passes and tickets to various affairs. Miss Millie Gittens, the manager of this little domain, issues words of advice with every text and notebook purchased. Along with the bookstore a new co-ed lounge has been established in Harding Hall. Throughout the year, students have found this lounge a haven from the hustle and hustle of the campus activities. Here events of the day are discussed and notes compared over a cup of hot coffee. �MAINTENANCE 7he well kept lawns, the neatly trimmed hedges, the efficiently heated buildings, prove once again that the maintenance crew is constantly on the job. These men, headed by Mr. William Jervis play an important and integral part of the campus. With a staff of eight full time employees, and aided by student assistants, the crew sees to it that the many buildings, spaced over three city blocks, plus the grounds around them add to the beauty of the college and the community. The praise of passers-by confirm the fact that the maintenance crew is continually performing its job in a more than creditable manner. �7 he ninth annual commencement of Wilkes College was held on Monday evening, June 4, 1956 in the college gymnasium. The graduates assembling on the lawn behind Chase and Kirby Halls marched en masse to the gym led by Dr. Eugene S. Farley, and Admiral Harold R. Stark, United States Navy (retired), who was the principal speaker, addressed the graduates on Wyoming Valley; Past, Present, and Future. Highest honors of the 1956 class were received by Patricia Ruthe Stout graduating summa cum laude, while Marianna Claire Kraynack, Bernice Ann Thomas, Jesse Alice Roderick, and Michael Joseph Barone took second place honors graduat- ing magna cum laude. Those graduating cum laude were Geraldine Kolotelo, Gail Joan Laines, Leah Jean Newburger, Carolyn Anne Selecky, Mary Elizabeth Zavatsky, Victoria Justine Zavatsky, John Robert Born, Ralph Sterling Harrison, William David James III, and Robert Vincent Lynch, Jr. Six graduates who received awards were: Helen Mae Krachenfels, Outstanding Graduate of the Year; James Francis Riodan, Jr., Dobson Medal in Accounting; Award of the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Monroe Henry Firestone; Medal in Engineering, Donald Sheldon Burns, and Sheldon Harold Issac. �~ ' ~· ....

The transitional stage from high school to college is exceedingly difficult even for those adequately prepared. However difficult the adjustment, the year is enriched by the very fact of college life, by the lasting friendships made, and by the accomplishments achieved. It is within this span of time that the foundation of their aims are formulated. The determinants of success are sought. Abilities in various fields are recognized. What am I doing? Where am I heading? What am I achieving? The freshman asks himself these questions over and over agam. And only he can answer them. The price of success comes high. It is not achieved by a mere dream. The combination of perseverence, responsibility, and character all enter into the making of the finished product. As the individual learns, he grows m stature, knowledge, and potential. Despite the obstacles placed in the students' path, the successful individual realizes that no hurdle is too high, no obstacle too great, if the dream is worthy of becoming a reality.

Ten seniors were lost by the graduation route, including such performers as Parker Petrilak, Carl Van Dyke, Tri-State honorable mention Younsu Koo, and Fred Boote. As a result of these losses, Coach Reese fielded a young and inexperienced team. However, their lack of experience was offset by their willingness to learn. Only two seniors, Captain Ahmed Kazimi and Jim Stocker, were included in the line-up on opening day. The hooters got off to a slow start, losing to such opponents as Rider, Muhlenberg, Gettysburg, and Halfback Ed Masonis Wins were then registered at the expense of Elizabethtown and Hofstra, the latter a 2-0 shutout. Excellent line play and brilliant defensive work by Tony Bianco and first-year goalie, Bob Sokol kept the Colonel goal unscathed. Carl Havira, Nick Giordano and Ed Masonis contributed with fine line play as the Colonels racked up their first shut-out of the season. Although the Wilkesmen ended up with their first losing season in four years with a 2-2-6 record, Coach Reese is highly optimistic about the chances for next year. The return of such st<tlwarts as Seth Ansah, Tim Jenkins, Bill Lloyd, J. Morgan, and Dave Polley along with Sokol, Bianco, Havira, and Giordano could very well result in the Colonels starting out on another skein of victories. · Fullback Dave Polley Wingback Nick Giordano �!tween the defeats were yette. tered at the expense of :a, the latter a 2-0 shutand brilliant defensive 1d first-year goalie, Bob ll unscathed.

The record was all the more impressive because the entire cage team was composed of undergraduates. Three of the starting five members, George Gacha, Fran Mikalones, and Bob Turley were freshmen. The other two men, Ed Birnbaum and George Morgan and alternate starters Bob Sokol and Elmer Snyder were juniors. The big story of the basketball season was the brilliant performance of Colonel center, George Morgan. Ending up the season with a 25.6 point average per game, the 6-4 pivot man broke the individual scoring record, previously held by Len Batroney, with a total of 512 points. the Colonels' victory skein at four wins.

The next three games saw the Colonels go on a three game winning streak, defeating Rutgers of Newark, Hofstra, and Ithaca. The Blue and Gold next met a temporary roadblock in losing to Lycoming and Juniata. A 35-point spree by Morgan led the Colonels to a 90-78 win over Scranton. However, Lebanon Valley outscored the Wilkesmen by a 79-74 score in the next game. Four straight wins were then registered against Bridgeport, Susquehanna, Lycoming and Dickinson. A heart-breaking 80-79 loss to Susquehanna ended the Colonels' victory skeirt at four wins. The most productive night of the year was then registered against Harpur College, a 109-60 score.

Defeating such stalwarts as Hofstra, Muhlenberg, CCNY, and Lafayette, the Blue and Gold grapplers rolled to nine consecutive wins before being tied by a powerful Millersville team, 13-13. This gives the Wilkesmen a record of 17 consecutive wins over the past two seasons. The Colonel grapplers, "Skeet" Williams, 123 pounder, and Jim Ward, 130, were undefeated throughout the season. Dave Thomas and "Tiger" Don Reynolds, 157 and 137 pounds respectively, suffered only one loss during the year. Walt Glogowski, 177, had a 9-2 record. Terry Smith, 147 was 8-2 for the year, and Neil Dadurka, unlimited, had a 7-3 record . Ward established a new Wilkes record for points scored during a single season by scoring 41 to eclipse Bob Masonis' old mark of 39. Newcomers, Bob Morris, John Macri, and Joe Morgan, performed well under the test of varsity competition and should be of great service in the ensuing years.

Competition was open to all colleges, independent or unattached, and assaciation wrestlers with amateur standing. The team championship was won for the second consecutive year by the Pitt Panthers. Finishing second was Lock Haven State Teachers College followed by Lehigh and Michigan. The Tournament, dubbed by sport writers "the Rose Bowl of Wrestling" attracted entrants from various points across the country. Wrestlers from forty-five teams were represented. Among some of those returning were Michigan State, Indiana, Cornell, Penn State, Pitt, Lehigh, and Navy. Winning honors for the tournament's most outstanding wrestler was Jim Ellis, 167 pound grappler from Indiana. Larry Fornicola, Bellefonte YMCA, winner of the award the previous year, tied for the highest point honors with Bill Oberly, (unattached), and Bill Billet of York YMCA. The Tournament, which attracted over 300 grapplers and over a thousand spectators, is one of the largest of its kind in the country.

Weak hitting on the part of the Colonels resulted in the loss of their next three games. However, Reese's "nine" found its batting eye and captured the next two outings defeating Muhlenberg 5-4 and Lycoming 23-3. Following the two wins were two successive losses administered by Bloomsburg and Ithaca. Three strong arm righthanders, John Milliman, Mel McNew and "Moe" Batterson, together with portsider Ed "Lefty" Birnbaum comprised the "Big Four" pitching staff. The outfield was composed of Co-Captain, Jim Ferris, freshman, Al Balcomb and Al Manarski. The infield consisted of third baseman Bob Sokol, shortstop Ron Rescigno, second baseman Joe Parsnik, first baseman Mike Dydo and John Harvey behind the plate. The Colonels then went on a six-game winning streak. First to fall victim to the rampaging Wilkesmen was East Stroudsburg STC by a 7-1 score. Clutch pitching by McNew resulted in a 2-1 victory over Lebanon Valley. Victories were then recorded over Susquehanna, Cortland and Bloomsburg. The Colonels split the remaining two games overpowering a Scranton team 14-13, and losing to Ithaca 10-7.

Union in May. The team, which worked out feverishly after a late start, dropped all four matches, three of them exceptionally close, and saw several of its members well up in individual standings at the MidAtlantics. With several new faces added to strengthen the team, an official six-game schedule was listed, including a three-way tilt with Scranton and Hofstra. Others on the schedule were Lycoming, Moravian and Harpur,. with the Mid-Atlantic Meet climaxing the season. �GIRLS'BASKETBALL 7he Wilkes Colonelettes under the capable direction of Coach Helen Bubeck had what was termed as "a very successful season from the standpoint of experience gained." The girls lacking experience in this newly-organized activity of the campus left much to be desired on the record sheets with no wins and four losses, but proved themselves with good spirit and determination in each encounter. Only losing one Senior member, Grace Major, stand-out guard, the girls hope to have the nucleus of a well-balanced, high-spirited team in store for next year's fans. �INT RAM URALS 1ntramural sports has probably been one of the fastest growing extracurricular activities on the college campus. Last year's addition of bowling and this year's addition of the Women's Athletic Club are evidence of the growing interest in intramural sports. These new-founded pastimes supplement the old standards of football, basketball, and softball, providing a well-rounded athletic program for those who do not participate in inter-collegiate sports. The intramural program adds to the background of the participants in that it teaches teamwork and leadership. 68 �~ ;t b ���REGINALD MATTIOLI NICK SIECKO President Vice President SOPHOMORES TERRY SMITH Treasurer On,thre 1ntegration completed, the sophomore is a familiar face on campus. He no longer resembles the confused, immature freshman of a year ago. Many changes have been made, decisions have been reverted and the feeling of inadequacy has been replaced by confidence in himself. For the first time, the sophomore sees his dreams slowly moving toward reality. Each day finds another hurdle crossed-another obstacle removed. Each minor achievement becomes another step through the labyrinth of life. He has answered the question presented to him in his freshman year, "Where am I going?" His education as a whole, individually, intellectually, physically, and socially are the determinants for the remaining question; "How should I go?" The individual finds that life is progress. Each Il)inute nudges the preceding minute into the vastness of the past; day replaces day. One more year has gone from his life. But what he has lost in time, he has gained in those things that can not be lost-knowledge-experience-memories. The sophomore approaches the newness of tomorrow with confidence having been prepared by the problems of today. STUDENT COUNCIL MEMBERS RICHARD E.

To them, it is more than a momento of their last year at college. It reflects the culmination of four hard years of work and study. Yet the 1957 Amnicola is not meant to be exclusively the Seniors' yearbook. It is for the classes of 'S.8, '59, and '60 as well. We have made a sincere effort to portray the real spirit of Wilkes within these pages. It is our desire that in years to come, the Amnicola will he a source of enjoyment and fond memories to each and every one of you. ��CAMPUS PERSON ALI TIES he reasons for attending college are many and varied. A college serves as a means of developing personality as well as an institution of higher learning. Throughout their stay at Wilkes, a number of students stood out conspicuously as social and academic leaders. We of the Amnicola staff feel that these students deserve special pictorial recognition as a small reward for their efforts and achievements in making college life more pleasant for us all. These fourteen semors selected for this section of the yearbook have made valuable contributions to the campus life of the college. Their efforts in various fields have not only enriched their own personal lives hut the college and community as well. �111 �BEACON he Beacon, student newspaper at Wilkes, has served as the official news organ of the campus since 1936.

The success of the paper was evident. At Wilkes nearly everybody reads the Beacon. ��HOMECOMING he weekend of October 12, marked an outstanding event for both Wilkes students and alumni. On that Friday, the grads returned to Wilkes-and began a whirl of Homecoming activities. Student organizations and dormitories competed for top honors in preparing decorations for their college buildings. The themes of Welcome Alumni and Beat Ursinus were featured. A committee of alumni judged these artistic abilities and selected W eckesser Hall as the winner. The coronation of the Homecoming Queen, Marilyn Carl, took place at the big bonfire pep rally held at Baldwin field. Debby Deisher and Carol Goeringer were selected to attend the Queen as the Homecoming Princesses. ��STUDENT COUNCIL 7his was a tremendous year for Student Council of Wilkes College. The Student Council, the central governing body at Wilkes acts as a coordinator between the administration and the students. The problem of the budget has always been a source of controversy throughout the years on campus. However, through debate and discussion, the Council members successfully handled the situation by appropriating student activity funds in accordance with the size and the functions of the individual organizations. Don Reynolds, President of Student Council and the representatives elected from each class have done their utmost to give Wilkes an efficient student government. In addition to the governmental role of the Council, they also sponsored various social events. The Thanskgiving All-College Dance which encompasses not only Wilkes but students and guests from colleges throughout the state proved to be one of the most successful events of the year. Between semesters, the Student Council sponsored its annual Winter Carnival at Pocono Mountin Inn. The Carnival provided a source of welcome relaxation after gruesome finals.

Representatives from each dormitory try to aid and solve their mutual problems by discussion and compromise with the administration and the residents themselves. Through these meetings, a better understanding has been created between the dormitories and the administration. Taking on the responsibilities of college activities, the I.D.C. now directs the annual Christmas Dorm Party and the Spring outing.

The organization's purpose is to provide a training ground for college men to take part in com- munity developments, and to encourage and promote leadership among the group. Since its inception, the organization has taken an active part in such community projects as the Jaycees' orphans' shopping tour, the Wilkes-Barre Parade of Progress, and participation in the Jaycees state convention. tlJ I 142 �lCE to encourage and progroup. organization has taken projects as the tour, the Wilkes-Barre articipation in the Jay- 1 munity ��-~ I • ·. ~ )t'f ·" IP' • , 147 ���WHY YOUNG MEN and WOMEN SHOULD CONSIDER IRETAILING I BEFORE CHOOSING A CAREER Every year at this time, young men and women get serious about this question: what next? Yes, after four years of school, after texts and theories, bull-sessions and books: what next? Where to find the job which will be good enough for a life-time? Out of all the phases of American life, which is the right one for me? Where can I find this blend of ingredients: freedom to express thoughts and ideas; a chance to learn and grow; an opportunity to work with people in a vital, ever-changing basic industry? LOOK TO RETAILING . . . LOOK TO DEPARTMENT STORES! Giants of modern distribution, they serve their communities diligently, tirelessly, efficiently. Proud products of the American System, they believe that profits are created through service and that community service is the result of the activities of many people, working together, thinking together, building together.

We take this op) express our appreciation for her ontributions to our college and and, particularly, for her interas students. Her spirit of con~rmeates our college life and 111g us a feeling of empathy. You graduate from Wilkes at a time when the freedoms that we have taken for granted are under attack. If, in your years at Wilkes, you have come to understand and cherish the ideals upon which our Western Civilization is based, you will wish to play a constructive part in maintaining and strengthening those ideals that lead slowly but inevitably toward human advancement. Only through man's attempt to live by great ideals is he able to increase in significance and humaneness. We now face a great challenge, and, in years ahead, this challenge will increase. If we are to meet it successfully, we must nurture to the fullest the resources of mind and spirit with which we have been endowed. It is my hope that your years at Wilkes will have equipped you to participate vigorously and constructively in the long struggle to maintain freedom and respect for the rights of all individuals and all groups. This will require great vision, adherance to great human values and courageous conviction. May God give you the strength and vision demanded of us in these perilous times.
