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.

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.

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.

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. Indoor activities included contests in billiards, ping-pong, shuffle board; and in the evening hours, dancing to the music of the All Stars. Our amiable chaperones. Spades are trump.

The class, its officers, its council, its ad visors have all worked together to make the class of 1959 what it is today.

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. The squad of four varsity debaters and six novice debaters under the leadership of Dr. Arthur Kruger, English department, finished a very successful season in the inter-collegiate debating competition.

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.

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 .

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.

The Student Government of Wilkes College has had another successful year. As the central governing power of Wilkes, the Council is the co-ordinator between the administration and the student body. Budget, school calendar, class elections, and Freshmen hazing are just a few of the problems handled by the Council. Traditional Council activities include: Thanksgiving All-College Dance, Winter Carnival, Christmas All-College Dance, and the Cinderella Ball. Because of the efforts of the Student Assembly Committee, we at Wilkes benefit in seeing a well-planned program weekly. Prominent speakers discuss the topics of the day, the music department presents several enjoyable programs, Cuen' Curtain entertains, and other student organizations conduct interesting and worthwhile programs.

The Committee was set up with one purpose in mind-that of developing school spirit at Wilkes College. It has sponsored many successful projects to initiate this spirit and is constantly striving to reach its goal. One of the major undertakings of the com• mittee was an attempt, on the basis of a questionaire answered by the student body, to register and evaluate student opinion on several pertinent questions concerning the college.

They are our athletes and provide us with the sports which we all enjoy. In addition to this, they sponsor some of our most outstanding activities including: the Lettermen's Raffle; Christmas Formal; April Showers Ball.

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 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.

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.

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.

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. Mrs. Doane acted as faculty advisor. Open to all women on campus, the sorority Proceeds from the money-making events constituted a service fund. This year, the recipient of the annual T.D.R. scholarship was a freshman, Miss Lois Betner. During the Christmas season, gifts were distributed to local hospitals. Also included in the program of the organization is volunteer work, such as helping conduct city-wide drives and aiding in college sponsored affairs. First row, left to ri ght : M. Mattei , J.

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. No decisions are rendered by one or two members but every problem, no matter how small, is discussed within the club and then voted upon. It is for this reason that the success of the Lettermen's Club is not due to a select few but to each and every member.

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. In addition, the team also presents a number of programs for Rotary Clubs, Kiwanis, and Church groups throughout the community. J im Neveras, 0 fr uits of victory.

However, it has not given up its function as a concert band, for it gives concerts at local high schools throughout the valley. The band also plays for Parents' Day in the Spring and at various assemblies during the year. A jazz workshop has been organized which permits interested musicians to make arrangements and to participate in jam sessions.

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. In April, many club members attended the Eastern College Science Conference at which Dr. Rief lectures to Biologists. First row : F. Bielenda, N. Turtel, D. Murray, G. Silewski, C . Michael, P.

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.

Local trips were made, including one to Stegmaier's Brewery. 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.

Its purpose is to teach members something about radio, television, and newspaper work, thus giving them a basic knowledge in these fields for their futures. 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. To supplement their discussion activities, the club arranges periodic field trips to local and state mental institutions. d o~~~ \ .... ff . .

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. In the second game of the season, the Colonels were defeated by a 12-7 score at the hands of an aggressive Ithaca eleven. In the opening minutes, speedster Ronnie Rescigno The Colonels suffered their third defeat this time to Bloomsburg - in a sea of mud. Putting together touchdowns in the second and third periods, the Huskies won the Anthracite Football Trophy presented each year to the winner of the area rivalry. In the only win of the season~ the Colonels, paced by Ronnie Rescigno, Howie Gross, and Dick Wozniak, scored an 18-6 victory over Trenton State Teachers at Trenton. The most costly loss of the season for the Colonels was inflicted by a powerful Maryland State team .

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.

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. Co-Captains Jim r-erris, Joe Jablonski, and Carl Yan Dyke talk things over with Coach Eddie Davis.

Carl and George go up for one. "Jimbo" leaps high for a peeper. George Morgan gracefully makes 2 points for the Colonels. �The Wilkes wrestling season this year was the best the team has ever had. 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.

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 feel confident that the judgment of our administrators is sound and ·that under their able guidance Wilkes College will prosper and play an ever increasing role in the community. RUSSELL R.

Director of Student Activities ��it I ' ~ f t"'!!¾.- ~ §~ �THE HUMANITIES 7rie heart of a liberal education is the humanities. Here students feel the pulse beats of the past. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 Wilkes Lettermen's Club consists of athletes who represent the college in five Inter-collegiate Sports but yet combined in strength to render service to the college and community. The Lettermen's activity calendar began early in the school year with the annual Homecoming Raffle, under the chairmanship of Vice President David Thomas. The Lettermen also held a Booster Day for the Soccer and Football teams, but the climax of the first semester was the highly success- ful Annual Christmas Formal with Minny Minarski as general chairman.

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 highlight of the dance was the announcement of Cinderella chosen from a group of ten lovely coeds. �1e their utmost to give tt government. mental role of the Coun.rious social events.

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. These affairs are open to everyone participating in campus life. �" . 123 ���NEIL DADURKA President B.S. in C.F. he's EUGENE ROTH Vice President B.S. in C.F.

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. 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 Bu at POMEROY'S * Pomeroy's, a Wyoming Valley Institution since 1860 is a Member of the World's Greatest Department Store Family.

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.

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.

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.

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 return of such st<tlwarts as Seth Ansah, Tim Jenkins, Bill Lloyd, J.

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 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.

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.

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 highlight of the dance was the announcement of Cinderella chosen from a group of ten lovely coeds. �1e their utmost to give tt government. mental role of the Coun.rious social events.

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.
