You have completed your coursework and your requirements to graduate. Your time at Wilkes has come to an end. It is an end that you should be extremely proud of. You are now entering a new phase of life. One journey has ended; yet another journey awaits you. Where will you go? What will you do? In your celebration of your accomplishments and this very important milestone in your life, remember that although your time at Wilkes ends with a presentation of a degree, there have been equally important lessons you have learned during your time here. As a freshman, you entered with the goal to earn a bachelor's degree. You have completed this goal. But as Ernest Hemingway reminds us, "It is good to have an end to jourey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end." Think about your time here at Wilkes and what you have learned not only in the classroom as part of your journey to attain your degree, but also what you have learned as a person outside of the classroom, in your interations with professors, mentors, classmates, coaches, teammates, friends. Think about your journey as an adult, as a learner, as a friend, as a fellow human being. Think of the relationships fostered here. Think of your mentors and perhaps those you sought to mentor. We emphasize those relationships here at Wilkes. I hope it has made your journey here a better one and one that you will continue to learn from as your life continues past our campus. I hope it has also inspired you to mentor someone else, whether it be in your next classroom or your new occupation. We hope that you will think of your time here often. We will certainly think of you often. Your journey as a Wilkes undergraduate has ended; but your journey as an alumnus has just begun. Keep in touch. Come back and visit. Share your stories and your new life lessons with us. Although a new journey begins for you, perhaps far away from Wilkes, we want to hear about it. And as our journey as a school continues on, we urge you to remain a part of it. Take advantage of the Alumni Association; there are incredible alumni out there looking to mentor new Wilkes graduates. Return for homecoming and see what's new on campus. Stay in touch with your wonderful professors and coaches. Wilkes will always be waiting for your return. So go forth! Begin a new journey! I wish the best for you. Remember your journey here at Wilkes. I hope it will provide you with fond memories, a desire to continue learning, and the passion to help those around you. We will miss you! Come back and visit. Patrick F. Leahy President Wil Hon Trutl Guid, Lo Thou May, Mayi Wi. �Wilkes, our Al1na Mater, we pledge our hearts to thee. Courage, Honor, Faith, and Truth and loyalty.

In the fall of 2012, Wilkes President Patrick Leahy asked Band Director Phil Simon to investigate the possibility of starting a marching band. One year later, in the fall of 2014, The Marching Colonels took the field for the first time at the first home game of the season. The 32 member band, including 10 color guard, 22 horns and percussion and two drum majors, Sofia Soares and Martina Barna, performed their inaugural show, celebrating 60 Years of Rock and Roll at six home games and for the Wyoming Area High School Cavalcade of Bands. Each performance was enthusiastically received by the audience, and the consensus of both the band members and spectators was that it was a very successful first season. Band Director, Dr. Phil Simon and the staff and students of the Marching Colonels want to thank Dr. Leahy, the Wilkes faculty, staff, students and community for their tremendous support during the Marching Colonels inaugural season. The band will return to the field in the fall of 2015 with an even more exciting and entertaining field show. The Marching Colonels have adopted the slogan, The Spirit of the Blue and Gold, and we mean to honor that slogan with lots of spirit and enthusiasm in every performance. �EED ���IN LOVING MEMORY OF MATT KACHURAK �CASINO NIGHT ������ALCO HO :~~~~0i:,t~ill:t's~rt1 AWARENESS WALK �������SENIOR SPOTLIGHT Do you have a saying or motto that you live your life by? I don't really have a saying or motto that I live by, I just go out and play like I'll never get to play again. Wilkes University would like to introduce 5th year senior Tim Bousson, from Shamokin, Pa. Tim is a starting receiver for Wilkes' Football team. He has been playing the beautiful game of football for 16 years now and has loved every second of it. Tim is very thankful that he has had the opportunity to play football here at Wilkes and doesn't want it to end. He is majoring in History, but Tim says after college he is going to enrolling in either the State Police Academy or the Air Force. What are your goals for your current season? Were they achieved yet? My goals for the current season were to win the MAC and to be an all-conference receiver. Unfortunately, winning the MAC won't happen this year and I'll have to wait to find out about the allconference selection. An interview w it h Tim Bousson Tim was named Wilkes University's MVP for the annual Mayor's Cup game which is against our rivals King's College. "It felt really good to win the MVP and I think it was a great way to end my career. The only way it could have gotten any better was to win the Mayor's Cup. Regardless, I'm still proud of all my teammates, especially my seniors." What is your biggest accomplishment in your sport? My biggest accomplishment was to be given the chance to play football after high school because only about 7% of student athletes get to make that transition. What one or two things do you currently do in your training that are keys to your success? The one thing I currently do training-wise and always have done was run. Speed is the most important thing to me and it is a huge key to my success. What would be your ultimate achievement? My ultimate achievement would be able to play at any level after college. What was the best advice you were ever given? To never be complacent. "Complacency is the enemy of success." Where do you draw your inspiration from? I draw my inspiration from my parents, and also my teammates. What is your diet like? I don't really have a diet, but I always eat a Big Mac meal the night before games. What is your most memorable moment here at Wilkes? My most memorable Wilkes moment hasn't happened yet ... graduation day. What do you plan to do after college? After college i plan to go to either the State Police Academy or join the Air Force. How do you set your goals? I set goals by focusing on the big picture and then I look at the steps I need to take to get there. interview by Evan Willey ��Embrace a Chi d DODGEBALLTOURNAMENT Each year Zebra Comunications, Wilkes University's own student run public relations agency, sponsors orphans from Tanzania who's parents have passed away due to the AIDS virus. This year Zebra choose 4 orphans to sponsor. Every year in the Basic Public Relations course the class is put into groups and have to decide on an event to help raise money for their charity. The advisor for this course is Dr. Jane Elmes-Crahall. The Embrace A Child In Tanzania account team included Evan Willey, Samantha Early, Marcus Leaf, Mandy Stickles, Sara Davis, and Amanda Hornak. Fall 2014 the team chose to host a dodgeball tournament for the students of Wilkes University. The team raised over $500 that afternoon and an anonymous donor donated $1,300. The team raised over $1,800 for the orphans. ������WO~EN'S r,ASKETr,ALl ����....J IV) LLI ��������CHORUS ��SENIOR SPOTLIGHT An interview with Elena Stambone "Elena is the third all-time leading scorer in Wilkes women's basketball history and first in most 3-point shots made. For four years, she has been one of the hardest working players on the team." --Head Coach Chris Heery "My name is Elena Stambone and I am a senior pharmacy major. I'm from Jessup, PA and I went to Valley View High School. I played shooting guard for the Wilkes Women's basketball team. I chose to come to Wilkes because of the great pharmacy program. I also wanted to continue my basketball career while pursing pharmacy. Wilkes was the best option for me because of the outstanding academic program offered by the school of pharmacy and the opportunity to also play basketball." What are you most proud of? I am most proud of my ability to be successful and stand out in basketball while still maintaining good grades and being successful in school. Pharmacy is a very demanding major and it is not easy to juggle all the studying and basketball on top of it. I am proud of myself for being able to get my studying done and excel in the classroom at the same time as impacting the basketball program. I am very proud that I was able to become the schools third all time leading scorer. What are you planning in doing after graduating from Wilkes? Since the pharmacy program is a 6 year doctorate degree, I will be graduating in 2017. I am not positive if I will be doing a residency after graduation or just starting to work in a pharmacy, but I am hoping to find a path in pharmacy that I am passionate about and that I can excel at. What was your favorite part of being on the woman's basketball team? My favorite part of being on the women's basketball team was the memories that I made. Some of my best friends are people that I met through basketball. Basketball opened a lot of doors for me but the best part about it was the great times I had with my best friends. Who is your biggest hero and why? My mom. My mom got me involved in everything possible when I was younger. She took me to camps and practices and everything you can think of just to get me involved. She supports me in everything I do and loves me for me. Without her, I wouldn't have the passion and determination for everything I do. My mom is definitely my hero. interview by Evan Willey Describe yourself using 1 word. Passionate. Anything I do in life I put my whole heart and all my effort into. I am really passionate about being successful in life and my career. Basketball was everything to me for my entire life and it truly was and always will be my passion. �:ll 1ggle 1yself sroom L very ~ading om rill be na lam L'S i's :tball he 1 She Lk of and nd l hero. W,lley SENIOR SPOTLIGHT Rn interview with Cameron Hinkel "Cameron has been both a leader by example and a vocal leader for the men's basketball program. He is one of our hardest workers in practice and one of our most valuable all-around players. Cam plays through injury and fatigue. He has the respect of every teammate and coaching staff member." --Izzi Metz "My name is Cameron Hinkel and I am a senior Communication Studies major with concentrations in Journalism and Telecommunications. I played the small forward position for the Wilkes University Colonels, and I chose Wilkes because the area is completely different from where I'm from and I enjoyed the campus when I came to visit." What if your favorite food before and after a game? Chicken Parm or spaghetti and meatballs. What songs pump you up before a game? I usually listen to some A$AP Rocky or Schoolboy Q to get me hyped up not any specific songs. What do you plan to do after you graduate from Wilkes? Well I plan on attempting to get a job in the fields I studied and hopefully one day be able to coach basketball and give back to the kids. How long have you been playing basketball? I have been playing basketball since the 5th grade, so about 11 years. If there was a book written about your life what would be the title? The Life and Times of Hinkelberry Finn. What will you miss most about college? Just getting to be around my teammates and seeing and hanging out with friends. interview by Evan Willey ��������BASEBALL �ROSSE ���������������KLA ���SENIOR SPOTLIGHT An interv iew w it h Brendon Blac howski "Brendon Blachowski has been an incredible leader and player for my men's tennis program. As a captain, he has led our team to three straight conference titles and NCAA Berths (and we are hoping for a fourth title and NCAA appearance later this spring). As a player, he has been a contributor in both singles and doubles for my team. Also, Brendon is a great role model on and off the court!" --Head Coach Chris Leicht Brendon is majoring in Environmental Engineering, but having such a tough time consuming major hasn't hindered Brendon's tennis game. Some of Brendon's awards include The Colonels Elite, Freedom Conference MVP, 5 Time MAC Singles and Doubles Champion, 2 Time Second Team AllConference. Even though he is leaving in this spring, his mark as a tennis player will stay with Wilkes. Why did you choose Wilkes? When I was searching for schools, very few offered both an environmental engineering major and a prestigious DIII tennis program. Once coach reached out to me and I visited Wilkes, I was sold. How long have you been playing tennis and how did you start playing? I've been playing ever since I can remember. My mom is also a tennis player so she got me into it the day I was able to pick up a racquet. My dad on the other hand is a basketball/volleyball guy, but he picked up tennis pretty easily. I still haven't beaten him to this day ...but I think it's time we have our first rematch in over ten years! Do you have any lucky charms you bring with you? I don't have any lucky charms, but I do have some weird superstitions like bouncing the ball exactly three times before a first serve and two times before a second serve. I'm also known for using the same racquet with a pink grip for matches since I've convinced myself it's brought me good luck ever since I started using it. What do you plan on doing after Wilkes? I'm currently searching for jobs that will lead to opportunities in water resources engineering and sustainability management in the Greater Philadelphia Area. What is one thing you will never forget about college? If I had to choose one thing, it'd be our trips to the NCAA National Championships. It's an amazing experience competing against some of the best teams in the country and I'll always cherish those memories. Winning both my doubles and singles matches sophomore year to advance us to the Round of 32 at nationals was probably one of the coolest memories. Of course, I'll never forget all the friends I've made along the way that made my last four years unforgettable. If you could trade places with one celebrity who would it be and why? Kit Harington because who doesn't love Game of Thrones!? Season 5 can't come any faster! What are some of your favorite foods for before and after matches? I usually eat fruits like bananas and oranges before matches, but I can always go for a celebratory homewrecker burrito from Moe's afterwards. interview by Evan Wil1ey sAr Car She She deci pha: Laci "Car alwa such look havi: gro"' visio Wh~ waiti Phys: wills Wha oflac frienc picke, Ifyrn then ands1 Wha1 ofbeh togeth �SENIOR SPOTLIGHT Do you have any other hobbies or talents other than lacrosse? I like to play basketball and snowboard, or pretty much do anything outside. Carley Smith is a senior biology major with a chemistry minor. She is from York, PA and went to Dallastown High School. She decided to come to Wilkes for the pharmacy program but decided it wasn't for her shortly after working in an impatient pharmacy for a summer. She is the only senior on the Wilkes Lacrosse team. What's your favorite movie? I liked the hunger games series and divergent. Rn interview with Carley Smith "Carley has been a rock for our team for the past 4 years. She always is striving to be better and always gives 100%. She is such an unselfish player who will set up her teammates before looking to score. Carley is a player every coach dreams about having. She is coachable, gives her all, and above all else, has grown over the past 4 years both on and off the field. She is the vision of a champion." --Head Coach, Kammie Towey. What do you plan on doing after college? I am currently waiting to hear back from grad schools to get a master in Physician Assistant studies. However if that doesn't work out I will stay at Wilkes for the accelerated nursing program. What first interested you to play Lacrosse? I never heard of lacrosse until middle school which was when some of my friends started playing. It seemed liked a cool sport so I just picked up a stick and gave it a shot. If you won the lottery tomorrow what would you spend the money on? If I won the lottery tomorrow I'd pack my bags and start traveling the world. What's the best part of being apart of a team? Best part of being on a team is that you can all just be a bunch of weirdos together and it's perfectly alright. If you could only eat 1 type of food for the rest of your life what would it be and why? Dunkin because everybody runs on Dunkin. Who or what is your biggest influence in life? My mom is definitely my biggest influence in life. She's the perfect role model and always pushes me to be better. What is your biggest goal of the season? Biggest goal of the season is to break the record for scored goals. What is one quote that you live your life by? "You get what you get, and you don't get upset." interview by Evan Willey �� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. -Robert Frost 2 �PRESIDENTS NOTE Dear Class of 2016, ALMA MATER Congratulations! You have completed your coursework and you requirements to graduate. Your time at Wilkes has come to an end. It is an end that you should be extremely proud of. You are now entering a new phase of life. One journey has ended; yet another journey awaits you. Where will you go? What will you do? In celebration of your accomplishments and this very important milestone in your life, remember that although your time at Wilkes ends with a presentation of a degree, there have been equally important lessons you have learned during your time here. As a freshman, you enter with the goal to earn a bachelor's degree. You have completed this goal. But as Ernest Hemingway reminded us, "It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end." Think about your time here at Wilkes and what you have learned not only in the classroom as part of you journey to attain your degree, but also what you have learned as a person outside of the classroom, in your interactions with professors, mentors, classmates, coaches, teammates, friends. Think about your journey as an adult, as a learner, as a friend, as a fellow human being. Think of the relationships fostered here. Think of your mentors and perhaps those you sought to mentor. We emphasize those relationships here at Wilkes. I hope it has made you journey here a better one and one that you will continue to learn from as your life continues past our campus. I hope it has also inspired you to mentor someone else, whether it be in your next classroom or your new occupation. We hope that you will think of your time here often. We will certainly think of you often. You journey as a Wilkes undergraduate has ended; but your journey as an alumnus has just begun. Keep in touch. Come back and visit. Share your stories and your new life lessons with us. Although a new journey begins for you, perhaps far away from Wilkes, we want to hear about it. And as our journey as a school continues on, we urge you to remain a part of it. Take advantage of the Alumni Association; there are incredible alumni out there looking to mentor new Wilkes graduates. Return fore homecoming and see what's new on campus. Stay in touch with your wonderful professors and coaches. Wilkes will always be waiting for your return. So go forth! Begin a new journey! I wish the best for you. Remember your journey here at Wilkes. I hope it will provide you with fond memories, a desire to continue learning, and the passion to help those around you. We will miss you! WILKE , our ALMA MATER, we pledge our ~ to thee. Honor, faith, and courage, TRUTH and LOYALTY. In our work as in our pleasure, Guide us as a FRIEND · We shall always ~ thee, LOYAL to the E D.

On behalf of everyone at Wilkes University, congr I ions n graduation. My colleagues and Itake great pride in all that you have accomplished and ar~""'", . ." hat opportunities lie ahead. You have experienced a time of great progress at Wilkes. Over the pa years, academic investments and campus developments have transformed Wilkes, while our commitment to a mentoring culture has grown stronger. You will recall that an ambitious campus enhancement initiative expanded academic fo iti es. The Mark Engineering Center, Karambelas Media and Communication Center, and NeuroTraining and Research Center became part of the campus vernacular. Several new athletic teams were launched, the So doni Art Gallery reopened with great fanfare, and a trip to Starbucks became part of our daily routine. The Campus Gateway Project has changed the way we navigate from place to place. In addition, unparalleled educational opportunities - both in and out of the classroom - continue to prepare students for the future. Faculty members, often working alongside undergraduates, develop ways to tackle the biggest issues of our day, and various study abroad programs allow students to engage in important research internationally. The Wilkes University Honors Program marked a milestone this year when members of the program's inaugural cohort graduated. These large-university opportunities are offered in a small-colle-ge setting, where faculty members not only know your name, but also your aspirations, challenges, a 1d dreams. I hope that this unique combination has helped to shape your col1ege experience in a positive way. Before I close, I would like to reiterate a sentiment that Imentioned at the President's Dinner Dance. Many believe that college represents the best four or six years of your life. Ibelieve that the best days of your life are not behind you -instead, they are ahead. As you look back on your time at Wilkes with fondness, do not forget to look to your future with confidence. There are so many things that I'd like to express to you in this message- how grateful Iam that you chose Wilkes, how proud the campus community is of you, and how much we will miss you. I wish the best for you, Class of 2019. Ihope that your journey at Wilkes has provided you with many memories, a desire to continue your learning, and the passion to help those around you.

The building was erected in 1909 to house the offices of the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal Company. 1 It was designed by the Wilkes-Barre architectural firm of Welsch, Sturdevant, and Poggi. 2 The office building was purchased by Wilkes College in 1958 from the Glen Alden Corporation, successors to the original firm. 3 The structure is presently used to house classrooms and offices and is named in honor of Charles Parrish, a founder of the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal Company. Architecturally, Parrish Hall is an example of late Victorian commerical architecture of the Hacademic• trend. The masonry structure has five stories and measures approximately sixty feet by one-hundred feet. The front section is heavily decorated with classical details while the middle and back sections show little aesthetic striving. The name of the originql firm is carved below the cornice on the street facade. The entrance and stairhalls have marble wainscoting and tile floors. A decorative motif composed of the initials of the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal Company is found through out the interior. An interesting feature of the interior is the floor to floor mail shute, said to be 1 �2 the first such system in Wilkes-Barre. Minor alterations have been made to the building over the years, however, the basic structure remains intact. Parrish Hall stands on the east side of South River Street near the intersection of West Market Street. The land was originally a portion of plot number six as laid out in 1770. Two of the finest hostelries in the history of Wilkes-Barre stood on this site and that of Chapman Hall to the south. The Phoenix Hotel was erected about 18Jl• It was replaced by the Wyoming Valley Hotel about 1864. The Wyoming Valley Hotel was torn down in the early twentieth century. Legend says that Arnold Colt operated a tavern in a building that stood on or near this site in the early years of the Dineteenth century. 1 oscar J. Harvey and Ernest G.

Although the exact date of construction is unknown, the building was erected in the mid nineteenth century. The earliest known record of it is a circa 1868 photograph of South River Street. The history of the building is closely associated with that of McClintock Hall to the south. Mcclintock Hall was built as the residence of Andrew Todd Mcclintock. The building was erected in three sections. The I.I! original portion s~ts close~to the sidewalk and has a center door flanked by two windows. The back or east wing was erected about the turn of the century. It is not shown in the 1894 Atlas of Wilkes-Barre but is shown in the 1904 edition. The last section built was the south wing al though the exact date is not knownhu/ f~Jc,,'t' fo/r>i• I The proerty was acquired by the college in 1959 from the estate of Gilbert S.

Although a substantiated date of construction is unknown, the house was probably erected in the early 1840s. A note added to an 186J architectural drawing of the house records that it was built in 1841. Until 1951, when the building was given to Wilkes College, the house had been the home of three generations of the McClintock family. The present Mcclintock Hall is nearly three times the size of the original house. The 186) architectural drawing of the plan of the first and second floors and an examination of the structure reveals that the house is made up of four main sections built at different times. The original house was a two and a half story, half Georgian form structure with a recessed entrance and consisted of the present hall and the two rooms along the south side of it. may have been in a separate building, The kitchen In the following years the two first floor rooms on the north side of the hall and a two story service wing were added. The conservatory which stood on the site of the former library may have been built at this time. In 186J the New York architectural firm df Vaux and 11 �12 Withers designed several alterations for the residence of ftA. T. McClintock, Esq., Wilkes-Barre, Pa.- 1 The plans involved the addition of a second and third floor to the north side of the house. The bay window and the floor length windows of the first floor, northwest room were also a part of the designs. The two story arcade and the present vestibule as well as minor interior alterations were included in this plan. A note written on the bottom of one of the sheets of the architectural drawings indicates that the 1863 designs are the work of Frederick Clark Withers. (Withers was the architect of Kirby Hall.) Francis Kowsky, a scholar on Withers, however, feels that the alterations, particulary the arcade, may have been the wori of Withers' partner Calvert Vaux. 2 Kowsky writes that "(the arcade) is totally unlike his (Withers) work, being closer to the Renaissance style that Vaux used from time to time.ft The last major addition was the construction of a library on the site of the earlier conservatory. The exact date in unkown, but this extension was erected in the early twentieth century. The extension does not appear in the series of atlases of the city until the 1933 edition. oriel The window on the south side of the second floor is not shown on the 1863 architectural drawing but does appear on a circa 1897 photograph of the South River Street. Gilbert Stuart McClintock (1886-1959), an attorney, donated the house to Wilkes College in 1951 for use as a �lJ residence hall. 3 As Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Gilbert S. McClintock guided the establishment and growth of Bucknell Junior College into Wilkes College. A grandson of Andrew Todd McClintock, Gilberts. Mcclintock acquired the property from his father Andrew Hamilton McClintock (1852-1919), an attorney. McClintock Hall is not a "period piece" but a house which, from circa 1841 to 1951, clearly shows the everchanging style and taste of its occ~pants. In addition to the house, Wilkes College · also acquired a large portion of the McClintock collection of antique furniture and art work. The McClintock Room in the Farley Library is the repository for ~ -'&' prints, books, paintings, and manuscripts pertaining to the history of Northeastern Pennsylvania that were collected by the McClintocks. Mcclintock Hall stands on the site of a building that was used in the early nineteenth century by Jacob Gist as a store and post office. 4 Cist, who was married to the daughter of Matthias Hollenback, resided in a house that sto ~d where now stands the Baptist Church on South River Street.

Attorney McClintock was a staunch friend and advisor of the college. During the later years of his life, he was known as "Mr. WilkesBarre" and his intimate friends respected him as such. The bulk of this estate was bequeathed to Wilkes College and he also left all prints, books, paintings and manuscripts to the college. Built in 1841 for Andrew Todd McClintock (1810-1891) and his bride, Augusta Cist; cost was $3000 . Four children and two grandchilfren were born in this ho~se of successful corporate lawyers and civic leaders. The builder came from Montgomery County of Northern Isish parentage and thus did not build i~ the traditional New England style. Given to Wilkes College in 1951 by Gilbert S. McClintock. Style: Modified New England with wing at rear, separate bath house and stables· (now destroyed). Construction: Native brick with imported Philadelphia brick facade. Later Construction arld remodelling: Building extensively re ·modelled in 1865 (Side entrance changed to a center entrance, interior moldings, ceilings, fireplaces, rooms added to the third floor),; in 1901 (the handsome library replaced the arboretum); at sometime in the late nineteenth century the cellar was excavated to install a furnace. Details of interest: The facade has thinner mortar than the rougher local bricks; the evidences of the entrance from the side porch on the left; the beautiful ceiling moldings; the ty \ ical front and back parlor arrangement on the right; the shutters and risers. (Greek Revival with Victorian additions) Although his forebears settled in Northumberland County in 1795; Attorney Mcclintock was born in Wilkes Barre. Educated at Princeton University, he received his law degree from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Throughout his life he was identified with commercial, financial and cultural organizations of the community. Prior to 1970, McClintock Hall was placed on the Pennsylvania Register of Historical Buildings. It was placed there by an alumni, Ron Andrews '70 . 1i ·· 't,,_..

Sterling (1821-1889), a financier. Although the exact date of construction is unknown, the house was probably built about 1860 when Sterling purchased the property. 1 The property was given to Wilkes College in 1949 by Carl Sterling, a descendant of the original owner. 2 The building, which stands on the easterly side of South River Street, is presently used as a residence hall. Sterling Hall is an example of residential Italinate architecture of the mid Victorian period. The front porch, which was rebuilt in 1973 after having been damaged by the flood in the prior year, is one of the most prominent features of the facade. Tradition says that the iron work on the porch was made by Robert Wood, a manufacturer of ornamental iron work located in Philadelphia. The principal rooms on the first floor are arranged around an L-sbape hall. the main staircase is located in the southerly section of the hall. Of particular interest is the carved marble mantelpiece in the southwest room of the first floor. It is probably indicative of the mantels that were originally "" :f ;1_ .• . •• used in the other rooms of this floor. Sections of the first floor of the interior were 24 �25 renovated in the twentieth century before the college acquired the building. The alterations generally involved changing the style of the rooms from the original Victorian to an "academic" style. William G. Kaelben of the Rochester, New York architectural firm of Gordon and Madden designed several alterations in 1914 for the dining room to the east of the staircase. 3 The designs called for the replacement of the north wall with a series of open arches and the installation of casement windows and classical style t rim. In 1925 the firm of Gordon and Kaelben, Rochester, drew up a plan to create the present large room, used by the Sterlings as a library, that is on the north side of the 4 center hall. This plan called for the removal of a partition between two smaller rooms. The cornice of this room was designed by the C. H. Rugg, Company of Rochester. 5 1 need, 1860.

In the late nineteenth century ownership of the property passed from William C. Reynolds to his son Edward Sheldon Reynolds (1844-1895). An attorney, Edward Sheldon Reynolds was quite interested in the history of the Wyoming Valley and authored several articles on the subject. In his youth, Reynolds is reported to have scratched his name, school, and year - ~Sheldon Reynolds Yale '67N - on a pane of an upstairs window. 4 He is credited with organizing the Yale alumni society for Northeastern Pennsylvania in this house.5 ,: The attorney and banker Dorrance Reynolds (1877- 1959) acquired the property _ from the estate of his father in ·•: ( ..._.... the early twentieth century. 28 �29 Catlin Hall is a Georgian form house with decorative detailing that is characteristic of the Greek Revival style. The house consists mainly of a center hall flanked bj~two · rooms along each side and a service wing attached to the southerly side of the back (east side). The present appearance of the building is the result of the renovations made for Dorrance Reynolds about 1906. 6 Originally, the house appeared much as it does today except that the recessed porch was not enclosed. A· circa 1868 photograph of the building shows how it appeared in the mid nineteenth century. In the late nineteenth century, probably in the 1870s or 1880s, the house was "Victorianized." The roof overhang was extended and the cornice was either removed or covered. The recessed entrance porch was enclosed with large wooden double doors and the trim was painted a dark color. The present marble mantelpieces on the interior are vestiges of these alterations. 7 The earlier wooden fence was replaced by a more fashionable iron type. Early in the twentieth century the building was altered and several additions were made. The facade was returned to its original classical appearance and the roof overhang was 8 shortened. The original front door was rehung. The projection with the French doors on the norhterly side of ~ \ _ the first floor, the oriel on the southerly side, and the extension and the two story . porch on the easterly side were �JO added at this time. Metal and glass doors replaced the wooden one at the street entrance. A brick fence about six feet in height was erected along the westerly and northerly boundaries of the property. This fence was lowered after the college acquired the property. On the interior the circa 1906 alterations included the removal of the partition between the two rooms north of the hall to create one large room. This room was used as the library by Dorrance Reynolds and was lined with bookcases. in this room. A new floor was laid The bookcases were removed by the Reynolds when the property was sold. The original floor is visible in some areas where the bookcases stood.

He built with care and thought, for stability and beauty. The bricks, brought fran Phila. by canal were carefully selected for their color, a purplish tint so that in 1906, when Col. Reynolds made some additions, it was necessary to color the bricks that were used that they should blend with the old ones. The front door is the original and also the silver door knob now in use. The Reynolds home was purchased by the college in 1957 and renamed Catlin Hall after the noted and highly controversial painter of his time, George Catlin. Catlin was born in Wilkes Varre in 1796. In 1959 , LIFE magazine published a series of color photos and articles of Catlin's paintings. Catlin Hall is considered to be one of the oldest buildings in this area. Elisha Reynolds was a merchant of note and sold his home later to his brother, i-ln. Champion Reynolds, a leader in business, political and civic affairs. Both his son, Sheldon and his grandson, Dorrance, were presidents of the Historical Society. iiilliam Champion needed a big house for he had eight children. Four generations of the Reynolds family lived there before the hane was sold to Wilkes College. Style: Traditional, simple, New England in brick rather than wood. Main front section with wing in rear. Separate stables at the back of the lot. Constructim: Native brick with imported Phila . brick facade, five windows second floor, four m the first floor. Stone sills. on Later additions and_rerrodeling: Marble in frmt hall, cmcrete pillars, fireplaces, hall, patio, and porch at left; (1906), Cellar: Probably excavated later for heating system; Partition between frmt and back parlors. Details of interest: Original door with silver plated hardware; original mahogany handrail; door moldings showing Egyptian influence; lovely parquet floors in the library; first floor shutters and riser design are the same as at Mcclintock Hall; sane of the original glass remains in the home. Catlin was admitted to the Luzerne Bar Associatim in 1819 and following four years of practice, he left the area for Phila. where he established hiS'" career as a painter. He became world famous for his paintings and booRs of American Indian Tribes . In the span of eight years, he visited 50 tribes and brought home a collection of more than 600 oil paintings, landscapes, Indian custans, their weapons , costumes and wigwams . His paintings have been exhibited in Londm, the Louve in Paris, and the Smithsonian Institute. "In his deaf, lonely age, after 30 years abroad," wrote his biographer, "he still signed himself- Georget Catlin of Wilkes-Barre." Prior to 1970, Catlin Hall was placed m the Penna. ~gister of Historical Buildings. After the 1972 flood, damages to Catlin Hall were estimated at about $50,000.

No. 20 Catlin Hall late nineteenth century sources Patricia Reynolds �Weiss Hall 98 South River Street Weiss Hall is an architectural paradox~ The building is an example of the Queen Anne style of architecture that was popular in the United States in the late nineteenth century. It is a style that is characterized by an irregularity of plan and the massing and a variety of color and texture. Weiss Hall has these qualities, however, the original style of the building was in the Greek Revival mode which emphasizes symmetry with wall surfaces as smooth as the material allows. The building was erected about 1850 as the residence . of the Honorable Edmund Taylor, Judge of Luzerne County. Taylor purchased the property in 1849 from William Ross who owned a large tract of land on the northeast corner of River and Northampton streets. 1 The Taylor house was similar in appearance to that of Catlin Hall to the north, only the Taylor house was a half Georgian form structure. In 1886 Samuel L. Brown (18JJ-1906), a businessman, purchased th_e property from the Taylor estate. 2 Apparently, Brown had the alterations made that changed the style of the building. The 1889 view of the city shows the house in its altered form and a sketch of the structure that appeared in an 1889 publication indentifies it as the residence of Brown. 3 �J6 Although no records .of the alterations are known to exist, an examination of the structure reveals that the changes were extensive and well executed. Prior to the summer of 1971 when the building was repainted, it was possible to see evidence of where the original second floor window openings on the facade were bricked in. The construction of the first floor of the tower in the southwest corner is different from that of the rest of the house. Other evidence supporting the claim that the house was altered is the low pitch of the roof and the narrowness of the center hall, features more characteristic of the Greek Revival style than of the Queen Anne. The interior of the main section of the house has a center hall with two rooms along the southerly side, a room and a stairhall along the northerly side, and a wing off the east end. The first floor hall is paneled with oak and has a fireplace. The walls of the first floor room to the east of the hall had ornate plaster panels above the wainscoting. These panels, however, were destroyed by the flood water in 1972. • The parquetry flooring of the two first floor rooms to the south of the hall may be a vestige of the original interior. The sketch that is illustrated in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, the Progressive City shows that there were two porches along the south side. The porch on the end of the main structure · was one story high and was removed in the 1950s or 1960s. The po~ch on the southerly side of the �37 wing had a balcony. This porch was razed in the summer of 1971. The property passed through several ownerships until. 1957 when it was acquired by Wilkes College through the generosity of Aaron and Tess Weiss. 4 presently a residence hall.

Wilkes College purchased the property in 1973 from the estate of the grandaughter of Stanley Woodward, Mrs. Marion Woodward Payne (Mrs. Bruce Payne), thus ending over two centuries of . continuous ownership by the decendants of Zebulon Butler. 2 Architecturally, Butler Hall is an example of the Italinate style of the mid Victorian period. was William w. Neuer of Wilkes-Barre. 3 The architect The building is constructed of brick with stucco exterior walls. Of particular note on the exterior are the carved areas above the window openings and the front porch. On the interior the rooms of the principal floors are arranged around a center hall with a staircase. At the time of college acquisition, the first floor consisted of a library to the south of the hall, the living and dining rooms to the north, and the kitchen and service rooms to the east. staircase rises only to the second floor. .~ The main An early { \.:. ,, twentieth century photograph of Northampton Street shows 40 �41 that the roo:f of the house was crowned with iron work. In the first quarter of the twentieth century the house was acquired by John Butler Woodward (1866-1925), an attorney who, like his father, served as a county judge. Woodward commissioned the Wilkes-Barre architect Thomas Podmore to design several alterations for the house. 4 These included new fenestration arrangements, an extension to the first floor, trim. and minor alterations to the interior The second floor windows above the entrance along River Street were altered from three arched windows to the present large one with sidelights and a fan light. Several of the dormers were altered from multiple windows to include only one large window. The library on the first floor was extended to the west out onto the porch. The "classical• style mantel in the northeast ronm of the first floor, the former dining room, may have been installed at this time. The hatrack in the entrance hall was originally built into the house that John Butler Woodward had built on Northampton Street, now Susquehannock Hall.5 Butler Hall is presently used for classrooms and faculty offices. It is the second building on the campus to honor the early settler. The first building stood at 158 South River Street, now demolished, and was the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Payne prior to taking up residency at 110 South River Street in the mid twentieth century. The Woodward house replaced a circa 1794 dwelling • �42 erected on this site for Colonel Lord Butler, the son of Zebulon Butler. It was a two and a half story, frame structure with Classical lines. The Lord Butler house replaced the one built on this site for his father. The Zebulon Butler house was the scene of the first court held in the newly elected Luzerne County in the fall of 1787. 1 oscar J. Harvey and Ernest G.

An architectural drawing of the basement level of the house is labeled as the -Residence of F. J. Weckesser, Esq., W-B" and bears the date February 18, 1916. 2 Charles H. P. Gilbert (1860-1952) of New York was the architect of the house. Gilbert appears to have been mainly a residential architect and examples of his work can be found in the AIA Guide to New York City.J Gilbert's obituary in the New York Times identifies him as the architect of the house of Frank w. Woolworth. 4 Weckesser was a business associate of Woolworth and this connection may explain why Weckesser chose Gilbert. At his death, Weckesser .was a dircetor of the F. Woolworth Company. w. He moved to Wilkes-Barre from New York state about 1900 and became associated with F. M. Kirby and Company. In 1912 when Kirby merged with Woolworth, Weckesser became District Manager for the Woolworth fi-:r.m in Wilkes-Barre. For several years before his death, Weckesser was a member of the Executive Committee of the 85 �86 Woolworth Company. Weckesser Hall is an example of the Beaux-Arts style of architecture that was popular in the United States in the years prior to World War I. The building is one of the few examples of this style remaining in the Wilkes-Barre region today. The exterior has a strong feeling of verticality to it, expecially the center bays -0f the facade. The interior has a center hall with the rooms arranged around it. The interior trim is eclectic in style with Gothic, Neo-classical, Baroque, and Or.iental designs pre sent. The building contains an eleva t .or and a ballroom on the third floor. Wilkes College acquired the house in 1956 upon the death of Mrs. Weckesser. 5 Today the building houses a number of administrative offices. Included on the property is the garage, now known as Weckesser Annex and used as a classroom with offices above. 1 Luzerne County Deed Recordi, Book 497, p. 68. 2 charles H. P.

It was designed by the Wilkes- Barre architectural firm of Innes and Levy. 1 Wilkes College purchased the property in 1949 from Edward Morris. 2 Until mid 1972 the house was the residence of Eugene Farley, the first president of the college. s. The basic structure remains intact with only minor alterations having been made to it over the years. Known today as the Annette Evans Alumni and Faculty Building, the name honors a late member of the Board of Trustees and a benefactor of the college. In her will Miss Evans bequeathed her family home at 117 West River Street to Wilkes College for the use of the alumni association. The Evans house, however, was heavily damaged in the flood of 1972 and is scheduled for demolition. The site on which the house stands is significant in the history of Wilkes-Barre. In the late eighteenth century John P. Arndt operated a tavern on this site. 3 The historian Oscar J. Harvey records that in the summer of 1797, the Duke of Orleans, later Louis Philippe, King of France, and his two younger brothers lodged at the Arndt tavern on their return to Philadelphia from visiting Asylum, 45 �46 a French refugee settlement in northern Pennsylvania. 4 In later years the tavern was operated by Thomas Morgan whose daughter was married in the tavern to David Wilmot. Wilmot later served as Senator from Pennsylvania and authored the Wilmot Provisio. Harvey further records that Harmon Bennerhasset and his wife are reported to have stayed here while visiting her sister after Blennerhasset's downfall and ruin through the Burr conspiracy. The building erected for Arndt was removed in the late nineteenth century, circa 1879, and replaced by the residence of Edward P. Darling, an attorney. - The new house appears to have been a two and a half story structure of masonry construction. The Darling property extended approximately _forty feet to the south of the present line. About the beginning of the twentieth century the property was divided with the southern portion becoming known as 150 South River Street. The 1894 Atlas of Wilkes-Barre illustrates the Darling house as covering most of the width of the property. In the 1904 edition of the atlas series, however, the Darling house is shown as being nearly half the size of the one in the earlier edition. This would seem to indicate that the circa 1879 structure was either drastically altered or removed all together and a new one built. The Darling house was razed for the construction of the Hirshowitz house. The lawn area to the north of the present structure �was purchased in 1941 by Edward Morris. 5 The area was a part of a large lot known as 1J8 South River Street. The property was divided in 1941 to enlarge the adjoing properties, lJO and 146. A three story brick dwelling stood on the site from the early nineteenth century until about the late 19J0s. The house is said to have been built for Henrick B. Wright, an attorney who served in the state and national legislatures. The property was retained by the Wright family until 1941. 1 rnnes and _L evy, architectural drawings, •Residence for Harry R. Hirshowitz•, June JO, 1928.

Chase, a president of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company. 1 The property was given to Bucknell Junior College in 1937 by Harold R. Stark. 2 190 South River Street was the first property in the River Street area to be given to the college for a permanent campus. Chase Hall houses administrative offices and classrooms today. Architecturally, Chase Hall is representative of the Tudor Revival style of the early twentieth century. Of some note on the interior are the mosaic floors in the hallways and the sun room on the second floor. The name and the year ~1918• are recorded in the stainglass windows on the stair landing between the second and third floors. Although the building was altered in the conversion to educational use, the basic structure remains intact. Behind the house stands Chase Annex, the former garage now •used for offices and classrooms. The house stands on the site of two mid nineteenth century dweelings that were demolished for the construction of the Chase house. On the northern portion, known as 184 South River, stood a brick house that is identified on the 1870 map of the city as belonging to M. L. Everitt. 50 This �51 house was later owned by the Bennett family. A frame structure stood on the southern part of the Chase property. -1 Intervi.ew with Dr. Eugene s.

No. 27 Chase Hall 190 South River Street late 1971 source, author �Kirby Hall 202 South River Street Kirby Hall was erected in 1873-1874 as the residence of Stephen Leonard Thurlow, a Wilkes-Barre businessman. 1 Prior to building the South River Street house, Thurlow lived on South Franklin Street in the building now known as Sturdevant Hall. 202 South River Street was given to Bucknell Junior College in 1941 by Allan P. Kirby (18921973), a financier. 2 The building was dedicated as the Fred M. and Jesse A. Kirby Home for Education in memory of Allan Kirby's parents. Kirby Hall presently houses several classrooms and faculty offices. Kirby Hall is an example of the monochromatic form 1-Ji.,h Vicjur 1:1Y' G,.Jnic. of the -Q-lioen=:·A-nne style of architecture of the late nineteenth century. The house was designed by the New York architect Frederick Clark Withers (1828-1901).J A leading architect of the period, Withers was associated with Frederick Law Olmstead and for several years was a partner of Calvert Vaux in the architectual firm . of Vaux and Withers. This firm made renovations to the McClintock house, now Mcclintock Hall, about 1863. The architect's perspective and the plans of the two principal floors were illustrated in the December 9, 1876 issue of The American Architect and Building News, a leading architectural journal of the late nineteenth - 53 �54 century. The perspective, however, was inadvertently reversed in the publishing process. Apparently, Withers considered the Thurlow house to be one of his important works for it is included . in a type-of-advertising pamphlet entitled Buildings of F. c. Withers. 4 This pamphlet appeared in 1877. The property was acquired by J. Franklin Lee about 1880 and sold to Reuben J. Flick about 1886. Fred Morgan Kirby (1861-19 In 1905 ) purchased the house. 5 Kirby opened a five and ten cent store in Wilkes-Barre about 1884 and eventually expanded the business into a chain of ninetysix stores operating under the name of F. M. Kirby and Company. In 1912 Kirby merged his business interests with those of Frank w. Woolworth Company. Woolworth and others to form the F. W. Kirby became a vice-president of the new firm. Kirby had several alterations made to the building. A stone terrace replaced the frame porches originally around the facade. Several of the original two-over-two sash windows were replaced with one-over-one ~ash windows • • The original interior woodwork was replaced with the present "academic- moldings. It appears that minor alterations were made to the floor plan, particularly to the staircase. The floor plan that appeared in the 1876 journal shows the staircase in an E-form with one set of steps rising from the first floor to the landing and two �55 sets of steps leading from the landing up to the second floor. Kirby Hall has a center hall with the principle rooms arrange along the sides. When the college acquired the house, it retained much of the grandeur and some of the furnishings from the years of the Kirbys' occupancy. It was reported in an article that appeared in the school newspaper at the time the building was dedicated that the walls of the main hall on the first floor were covered with scarlet brocade. 6 In the article the southwest room on the first floor was described as having "scenic walls of gray and white decor.• Tradition says that the wall paintings above the wainscoting in the former dining room are the work of Madam.o iselle Juliette Gambaro, a French artist who came to the United States under the sponsorship of the Thur lows. The property at 202 South River Street was originally a part of lot number one as laid out in 1770. Lot number one was drawn by Jabez Sill' who the historian Charles Miner says built the second house in Wilkes-Barre. 7 Miner also recorded that the first marriage performed in the Wyoming Valley took place in the Sill house on this site. 8 The marriage was between Nathan Denison and Sill's daughter Elizabeth. Early in the nineteenth century the property was acquired by Rosewell Welles who served in the Pennsylvania �56 legislature in 1805 and 1806. George R. Bedford notes in Some Early Recollections that Welles was one of the four attorneys admitted to the bar at the formation of Luzerne County in 1787 and that he was married to one of the daughters of Zebulon Butler. 9 The Welles house was described by Bedford as being . one of the social centers of the town and that Harmon Blennerhasset, associated with the Burr conspiracy, was entertained here. The Welles house was razed for the construction of the Thurlow house. 1 oscar J. Harvey and Ernest G. Smith A History of Wilkes-Barre and W · (6 vol.

Kirby, who gave it to the college in honor of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Morgan Kirby, in 1941. Fred Morgan Kirby, an American merchant and banker was born in Brownsville, NY in 1861. In 1884, he moved to Wilkes Barre and opened his first five-and-ten cent store under the name of Woolworth and Kirby. Attended High School in Watertown. Son of William Kirby., Capt who sailed around Cape Horn in 1849. In 1887, he acquired C.S. Woolworth's share in the store and reorganized it as F.M. and W. Kirby. In 1912, Kirby was operating 96 stores east of the Miss. River. Kirby Hall was placed on the Pennsylvania Register of Historical Buildings by Ron Andrews, author of this work and an alumni of Hilkes College. Kirby Hall was built by-l1r. and Mrs. S;L. Thurlow. Mr. and Mrs. Thurlow brought with them Mele. Gamboro, a French governess. who came from a wealthy French Parisian family.

In the fall of 1955, a 40-42 foot addition was made to the cafeteria, to accommodate from 500-550 students. The expansion constructed of brick and steel, is two stories high and parallels the walk from the cafeteria entrance to the Kirby Hall Library. Large picture windows beautify the exterior and furnish the interior with ample light. Huge round cherry tables and Federal chairs enable eight students to dine together at one table. Knotty pine paneling and colorful modernistic wallpaper complete the attractive picture. The first floor has additional dining area and also a reception lounge and large rest rooms. The bottom level of the original cafeteria is used by the dormitory students and the remaining three segmants are used by the day students. In 1941 the building was named the Kirby Home for Education and has been used as the college library. Up to 1947, only 2 rooms occupied the library; the remainder was used for classrooms and lounges. The three-floor structure has 18 large rooms and 3 smaller rooms. Between 4-7 thousand books were housed in the library in addition to over 400 periodicals. The staff included 4 full-time members and 18 student part-time workers. In 1983, the Kirby House was used for the Academic Support Center, and the Language and Lit. Dept., Classroom, and Lab. After the 1972 flood, damages to the Kirby Hall were estimated at about $200,000. Added: 1 March 1983 Georgetta Nelson from information from the Wilkes College Files �KIRBY HALL by William V. Lewis, Jr. , '80 It is a building, more elegant and majestic than most otheLp,and with a sense of heritage surrounding it. It is not a hall of government nor an ancient ruin, but an aura of importance and history emanates from this place. As a silent witness to the establishment and development of Wyoming Valley, the land--and later the building- has had a key place in our local history. Kirby Hall has been the site of many of the great milestones in our tradition, and the recent renovations underline the continuting important role that the property will play at Wilkes College and to the Valley as a whole. Indeed, the story of this historic property seemingly encompasses a synopsis of the early and continuing development of the area. The story begins with the founding of the Valley, when the site was listed as Lot No. 1 of the town of Wilkes Barre., in Major John Durkee's original town plan. Jabez Sill owned the lot on which he built the second house erected in Wilkes-Barre. This "house" was, in fact, a log cabin where, on April 1, 1769, the first marriage in Wyoming Valley took place. Colonel Nathan Denison, later famous for signing the articles 0£ surrender following the Wyoming Massacre, and Elizabeth Sill were married at the ceremony. .,,,1 ;( In the early 1800s, the property was sold by the Sill family to Roswell Welles for 200 pounds. Interestingly, the deed contained a clause ~ranting immunity from any claim to the property made under the laws of the State of Coqnecticut- a reflection on the then contemporary Yankee-Pennamite conflicts that the early V~ley settlers faced. Roswell Welles was one of the four attorneys admitted to the bar of Luzerne County when the County was formed in 1787. A Rraduate of Yale College, Welles was to serve the area in the State Legislature, and later as a county judge. The home Welles built on the site was described as a "double-house, ceiled with pine boards and probably never finished in the second story. In front of the home stood the residence of Jabez Fish, on the banks of the river." The Welles home was, in its day, considered one of the social centers of the town. Here Herman Blennerhasset, later implicated in the Aaron Burr scandal, was entertained. Judge Welles died in 1831 and apparently the property then passed through several ownerships. George Bedford, in his SOME EARLY REFLECTIONS described the property during the period in this way: "When I first knew the premises the house was in a dilapidated condition and the large lot surrounding it was utilized as a lumber yard and the whole . neighborhood was uninviting." ,. The site was eventually to be acquired by the Stephen Thurlow family in 1872. The present structure was erected in �KIRBY HALL (cont.) -2- 1873-74 and occupied by the family in 1875. The building was designed by the New York architect Frederick Withers, a leading architect of the period, and is an example of the monochromatic form of the time. The architect's perspective and several floor plans of the building were illustrated in the December 9, 1876 issue of THE AMERICAH ARCHITECT AND BUILDING NEWS, a leading architectural journal of the late nineteenth century. In September, 1880, the home was sold to J. Frank Lee for $40,000. Several years later, in July of 1886, Lee sold the property for $42,000 to Reuben J. Flick. The Kirby family acquired the property from Flick's widow in October of 1905 for $55,100. Kirby made several alterations to the building, A stone terrace replaced the frame porch around the front of the buildin~. Also, the interior woodwork and windows were replaced. The Kirbys did, however, leave intact the wall paintings above the wainscoting in the dining room that were supposed to have been the work of Mademoiselle Juliette Gambaro, a French artist who was brought to America by the Thurlow family. The propert y remained the home of the Kirby family until the death of Fred M. Kirby in 1940. Thereafter, his son, Allan, donated the property to Bucknell University Junior College for use as the "Fred M. and Jessie A. Kirby Home of Education." The intended use was to be an art center and libr~~y for the Colle g e. In giving the property, the Kirbys provided for the use of two rooms on the first floor by the Wyoming Valley Society of Arts and Sciences-a group made up of many area civic leaders. It was ~his Society that was later to give to Wilkes College the land on which the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts now stands. The need for a library surpassed the need for an art center in Kirby Hall, but, in a way, the Kirby mansion has more than fulfilled its intended mission. The upper portions of the house were used for classrooms and for several years the top floor of the building served as the President's residence for Dr. Eug ene Farley and his family until the College acquired the present Annette Evans Alumni and Faculty House which was then used as the President's home. The removal of the library collection to the Eugene Shedden Farley Library menat a transformation for Kirby Hall into use by the Foreign Language Dept. Presently, the Department of Language and Literature is based in the building. ~ ·1; .· One of the most historic buildings on campus, Kirby Hall naturally has a number of tales told about it. Supposedly, around the turn of the century, a gambler named Poker Pan was killed in a gambling dispute in what was formerly the music room (now the language lab). Many alumni remember that for years the Kirby's chauffeur, Ted Dugan lived on the second floor of the rear carriage house, which was later to become the College Commons. The first floor, with its revolving turntable in the floor (Used for working on carriages and cars.) was used as a garage by the College until the chaufferu's death .. Then the College converted the carriage house into a cafeteria. �KIRBY HALL (cont.) -3- Worthy of note in Kirby Hall are the terra cota wine racks that are still in the basement, a graphic reminder of how life once was. Finally, it should be noted that while Wilkes College occupies the Kirby building, another school, Lafayette College, has one of its rooms. The Kirbys had an exact reproduction of the home~s library built in Van Wyck Hall at Lafayette and the contents of the Kirby family library were placed there. But of all the tales about Kirby Hall, the story of the life of Fred M. Kirby stands out as the most notable . His life reads like a Horatio Alger story, a young man working his way to the top of corporate and community affairs. Born in Brownsville, New York, on October 30, 1861, Kirby was the son of William and Angeline Slater Kirby. Prior to their marriage, Kirby's father had participated in the California gold rush of 1849 . Fred Kirby received his education in pub lie schools and at a g e 15 became a clerk in a dry goods store in Watertown, New York . Among his fellow employees were F.W. Woolworth and C.S.Woolwcrrth, settting the basis for the later famous and profitable association. For eight years, Kirby worked in the store, until he had saved a few hundred dollars which was to serve as his share of capital in a partnership with C.S. Woolworth. On Sept 1, 1-84, Woolworth and Kirby o pened their first five-and-ten cent store at 172 East Market Street, Wilkes-Barre . When the store first opened, the fixtures were rough and unfinished and the counters were made of hemlock planks. ~irby's desk was an old dry goods box which he kept for years as a momenta of the difficulties faced in his early business career. Kirby however, surmounted those difficulties because after three years he purchased Woolworth's portion of the firm. In 1888, he brought his father in as a business partner. The firm continued to prosper and by 1911, 96 stores east of the Mississippi River were in operation. In 1912, Kirby merged his five-and-ten cent stores with those of the Woolworth family and became a vice-president and director of F.W. Woolworth and Company. I I Kirby's other business interests were numerous. He was a director or officer of many business organizations, including : the Miner's Bank of Wilkes-Barre; the Second National Bank of Wilkes~Barre; the Lehigh Valley Railroad; the U.S. Lumber Company; the Mississippi Central Railroad; the International Equities Corporation; and the Metropolitan Life Life Insurance Company of New . York. ~ t _.<" Many, however, remember Kirby because of his tremendous support of civic , humanitarian and philanthropic causes. His gift to Wilkes~Barre of Kirby Park and the Angeline Kirby Health Center stands out among his many good works. He was .also a significant contributor to Wyoming Seminary and Lafayette College. His generosity is seen in the donation of his country estate in Glen Summit for use by the Episcopal churches of the area. Kirby even turned over his yacht, "Suzannah" to the U.S. government during World War I at no cost, for use by the coastal �KIRBY HALL (cont.) -4- patrol service. And, of course, his generosity gave us what is now Kirby Hall. Honored for his service in so many endeavors, Kirby received the Qistinguished Achievement Medal of the Pennsylvania Society, thus joining the ranks of other noted recipients including Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford and Andrew Mellon. Another outstanding tribute on the part of Wyoming Valley was "Kirby Day", an event during which local ceremonies and publications were dedicated in appreciation for the work of Fred M. Kirby. Also on July 4, 1978, through the generosity of the Kirby Foundation, more than 8,000 local citizens and visitors viewed a pageant reenacting the Battle of Wyoming, presented by the Wilkes College Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts along the dike at Kirby Park. Preceded in death by his wife, Jesse, Fred Kirby died on Octover 16, 1940 ( just 14 days before his 89th birthday gn), at his Glen Summit estate. Thus, the story of his life ended, but his fame and labors are still very much alive for the people of Wyoming Valley. Of course, it was in Kirby Hall that F.M. Kirby formulated many of his ideas and plans for his community. "If only these .w alls could talk" would be a fitting statement to be made in the building. The site has been a silent witness to events ranging from Indian settlements along the river to General Sullivan's Revolutionary encampment across the road, from steam boats cruising up the Susquehanna to the arrival of the first railroad train to come into the Valley on the adjacent corner in 1843. Here in 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt spoke on the River Common- the river water of many floods inundated its grounds. It has also witnessed the growth of a College and the intellectual development of many minds. It seems fitting that a place so endowed in history and purpose should now serve as a hall of education. Indeed, it appears that destiny has directed this land to become part of an institution of learning. As if almost by an invisivle force, Wilkes College acquired the property and Wilkes College holds as~ goal for its students the constructive participation in the social, economic, cultural, and political life of the community. This institutional commitment is consistent with the Kirby family's philosophy. It is a quiet inspiration to those who learn here. Thus, Kirby Hall shall continue in its rolea source and symbol of our heritage and our progress. The author wishes to express his sincere appreciation to Ron Andrews, alumni of Wilkes-'70,- for the use of his scholarly and distinguished studies of the architectural history of the area. �KIRBY HALL (cont.)_·_ - -5- across the road, from steam boats cruising up the Susquehanna to the arrival of the first railro a d train to come into the Valley on the adjacent corner in 1843 .

The exact date of construction of Sturdevant Hall is not known. By tradition, it is said tha the house was erected for John Dorrance (1800-1861), a minister of the Presbyterian Church. Dorrance purchased the property in 1841 from the Butler family which acquired the land in 1772. 3 The house probably dates from the early 1840s. In 1862 Stephen Leonard Thurlow, who later had the present Kirby Hall built, bought the property from the estate of John Dorrance. 4 Thurlow is listed for this property on the 1870 Map of Wilkes-Barre. Jesse Thomas, a physican, acquired the property in the late nineteenth century. Ownership passed by marriage to the Sturdevant family about 1913. 5 William H. Sturdevant was married to a daughter of Dr. Thomas and was a civil engineer who produced two atlases of the city. In the early twentieth century an extension was added to the south side and the house was divided i,,to two residences. 75 The �southerly portion was further divided into apartments. In 1942 Robert A. Eyerman, a Wilkes-Barre architect, designed several alterations for 131 for Dr. Maurice B. Alhborn. 6 Sturdevant Hall illustrates the changing style and taste of its occupants. The main portion of the structure is a center hall house with Greek Revival decorative detailing. The present front porch and second floor center window grouping are characteristic of the mid to late Victorian period.

It was erected about 1890 and was drastically altered in the early twentieth century. The structure is not illustrated on the 1889 -view of Wilkes-Barre• but is shown on a circa 1891 photograph of South River Street. By the 19JOs the building had been renovated for apartments as is shown on the 19JJ Atlas of Wilkes-Barre. The alterations involved a new arrangement of the floor plan and the erection of an extension to the back. Apparently, the separate entrances original to the plan were replaced by the present center hall. Wilkes College purchased the property in 1968. 1 For several years the building was not offically named but now honors an early resident of Wilkes-Barre. Frances Slocum (1773-1847) was born in Wilkes-Barre and kidnaped at the age of five by the Indians. She never returned to the area and lived until her death with the Indians. This is the second campus building to honor Frances Slocum. The first such building stands at 115 South Franklin Street and is scheduled for demolition. 1 Luzerne County Deed Records, Book 1639, p. 808. 69 �L62 South River St~eet SLOCUM HALL (Frances Slocum Hall) After the flood of 1972, daniages to this hall were estimated at about $50,000. added: 1 March 1983 Georgetta Nelson from the Wilkes College files �70 - Ill.

Ross Hall 251 South River Street In the summer of 1967 Wilkes College purchased the home of Dr. N. Frederick Schappert, a physican. 1 Now a residence hall, Ross Hall is named in honor of the Ross family which played a prominent role in the development of Luzerne County. The structure was built as a residence about 1896. The house is not shown on the 1894 Atlas of Wilkes-Barre but is listed in the 1897 city directory as the residence of . Maria Dunning, a widow. Originally, the property was a part of a larger tract owned by the Atherton family. The Atherton house stood at J6 West River Street. Ross Hall is an example of Romanesque architectur~ of the late nineteenth century. The main windows of the facade are interesting features of the house.

The house was erected as the residence of George R. Bedford (1840-1927), an attorney and author of Some Early Recollections (c~ 191J), an account of life in nineteenth century Wilkes-Barre. The college acquired the property from his son, Paul Bedford, also . an attorney. Bedford Hall has undergone numerous alterations over the years. The original portion stands on the corner of South and River Streets. Although the interior has been altered and extensions have been added to the back, the exterior of this section appears much as it did originally. An interesting feature of the exterior is the design used in the brick work of the walls. The original internal floor plan was different from the present one. The main ent~ance was through a vestibule, now open as a porch, and the main staircase was located to the north of the present one. The present steps to the third floor are a part of · 161 �162 the original staircase. The present large room in the northwest corner of the first floor was originally two rooms with fireplaces in the wall between the rooms. The service stairs were situated at about the southerly end of the present main hall on the first floor. S~udying th~ 1894 and 1904 editions of Sturdevant's atlases and a 1902 photograph of South River Street reveals that an addition was made to the south side about the turn of the century. Included in this addition was the present large room to the west of the hall on the first floor, north of the sun room, and that had a scenic wallpaper until the flood of 1972. In the late 1920s, Paul Bedford , (1875-1967),. son of the original owner of the house, commissioned the WilkesBarre architectural firm of Innes and Levy to design several alterations to the house. 3 An advertisement found in a 1933 publication indicates that the construction work of this renovation was done by the John Curtis and Company of Wilkes-Barre. 4 The present interior is the result of the Innes and Levy alterations. The 1920s renovation involved a new arrangement of the floor space in the original house and the construction of a sizeable addition to the back or south side. The large rooms in the northwest corner of the first and second floors were created from two smaller rooms on each floor. The present staircase Jtffl' rises only to the second floos was built at this time as_ was the present servf ce steps that �163 are nestled in to the south of the main stairs. The large room at the south end of the first floor hall, the sun room on the first floor, and much of the service wing to the southeast are part of the Innes and Levy design. Although r the renovations to 1 the original house were J xtensive, Lt appears that much of the Price woodwork may remain around the . doorways and windows. The Bedford property was given to Wilkes College in 1967 through the estate of Paul Bedford. 5 The building is presently used for classrooms and faculty offices and was little altered in the conversion from a residence to an educational facility. j Until 1972, the first floor room to the west of the hall on the south end, the room used as a music room by the Bedfords, retained a scenic wallpaper that was hung during the 1920s renovation. 6 The paper, destroyed by the flood waters, was a twentieth century reproduction of a nineteenth century French pattern known as "Scenic America." The property, as acquired by the college, is larger than the plot of land on which the Price designed house was built. The 1882 atlas shows a lot with a frame house on it to the southerly side of the Bedford property. The 1894 atlas illustrates this lot as being a part of the Bedford tract. The back section of the present Bedford Hall stands on part of this tract. The lawn to the east of Bedford Hall is the site of a late nin~teenth century brick dwelling. �164 -. ) The house is identified in the city directories as being the residence of Alexander Farnham, an attorney. The Farnham house was razed in the mid-twentieth century. The one story brick structure located a few feet southeast of (\ Bedford Hall may have been built as a garage Jon the Farnham property. 1 Samuel H.

Both houses were built about 1925 and were designed by the Wilkes-Barre architectural firm of Innes and Levy. 1 The house at J6 was erected as the residence of Julius Long Stern (189)1964) and the one at 40 was built for his father~ Harry F. Stern (1854-1928). The stone used in the constAiction of both houses is from a mid nineteenth century house that stood on this site and was razed for construction of the stern houses. Julius Long Stern was. a grandson of the merchant . Isaac Long and was associated with the Long firm for many years. Later he sold his business interests and became a lecturer in the history d~partrnent at Princeton University. SternJals~was a member of the Board of Trustees of ,Wilkes College. Architecturally, the house at J6 West River Street is •representative of the HTudor RevivalH style popular in the decade following the end of World War I.

The Waller residence is at 40 West River Street and is still occupied by Mrs. Waller. About 1924 Julius Long Stern purchased the Atherton property at J6 West River Street, razed the house, and divided the land into four lots, the present JO, J6, 40, and 56 West River Street. The street frontage of the Atherton property is indicated by the low stone wall that runs along the front of the present lots. part of the fence around the Atherton land. The wall was The Atherton house was a Mansardic style structure, probably built in the mid 1860s, and was constructed of stone reported to have been quarried in the vicinity of West Nanticoke, • Luzerne County. 4 The house was erected for the financier Thomas Atherton. Tradition says that it was designed by the noted Philadelphia architect John Frazier. Several rooms in the Atherton house were decorated with paintings executed by Madomiselle Juliette Gambaro. 5 Gambaro was an artist who came to the United States from · - -~ �- 120 France under the sponsorship of s. L. Thurlow and his wife. The pai~tin~above the paneling in the former dining room of the present Kirby Hall, built for Thurlow, are said to be the work of Gambaro. A few of the paintings in the Atherton house illustrated the fable of La Fontaine for which members of prominent Wilkes-Barre families posed as models. On the 1870 and 1882 city maps, the Atherton property is shown as extending back to South River Street. The house set in the northwest portion with the stable and carriage house along South River Street. Over the years the land along South River Street was divided into lots and sold off. Early in this century the stable and carriage house was converted into a residence and is now known as 255 South River Street. 1 The Residential Work of Innes and Lev Architects Wilkes-Barre New York, Architectural Catalogue Company, Inc., 1933). 2 Interview with Charles Levy, Huntsville, Pennsylvania, March, 1971. 3Luzerne County Deed Records, Book 1548, p. 672 • • 4 unidentified ne¼~aper article in the collection of the Wyoming Historical and Geological Society. 5T.

Upon examination of the house following the flood in 1972, it was found that the structural problems that existed prior to the flood were greatly increased. It was determined that the damage was to the extent that the building warrarited demolition. The house was designed by Miss Evans' father, Clark Wright Evans (1857-1940), an architect and a musician. Architecturally, the building is an example of the Shingle Style of the late nineteenth century. Drawings for various details of the house are included in the college's collection of the Evans family papers. Before coming to Wilkes-Barre, Evans was associated with a New York architectural firm. Among the family papers is a set of drawings by Evans for a house in New Jersey. The design of the New Jersey house, apparently made before Evans came to Wilkes-Barre, is qu i te similar to that of Alumni Hall and may haVe been the 1nspiration for it. �135 Although the exact date of construction is unkown, the house appears to date from about 1898. The approximate date is based primarily upon two receipts found in the family papers. Both receipts were issued in 1898. The first one, dated February 10, is from Arnold, Constable and Company of New York and lists the Evans' address as South Franklin Street. Prior to moving to West River Street, the Evans family resided in a house on South Franklin Str~et where now stands the college library. The second receipt is from the Boston Store in Wilkes~Barre and bears the date May Jl. This receipt gives the address as West River Street. Alumni Hall is a three story, frame and masonry structure with a gambrel roof. The principal rooms of the first floor are a vestibule, a large stairhall extending across the widith of the house, a large and a small sitting rooms to the east of the hall, and the dining room, kitchen, and service rooms to the west of the hall. staircase rises only to the second floor.

Wilkes College acquired many of the original furnishings of the house as well as numerous pieces of art and American antique furniture collected by the Evans family. Drawings found among the family papers indicate . that Clark Wright Evans also designed some of the �1J6 furnishings, in particular the side boards in the dining room. Unfortunately, most of the furniture of the first floor was destroyed in the flood in 1972. The building stands on the westerly side of the street on the location of a mid nineteenth century ice pond. •The 1870 and 1882 maps and the 1889 city view illustrate that the ice pond covered nearly half of the block between Ross and Terrace Streets. The area is shown in the 1894 atlas as having been filled in and divided into lots. The settling of the filled area may be responsible in part for the structural problems of the building •. 1 2 Luzerne County Wills, item number 1914.

The late nineteenth century city directories :_ list Woodward as residing on the north side of Northampton Street where he lived until the completion of the house at 78. Woodward was an attorney who, at the time of his death, was serving as Judge of Luzerne County. He was the son of Stanley Woodward who had the present Zebulon Butler Hall erected. Until the construction of Susquehannock Hall, the Northampton Street property was a part of the Woodward property at 110 South River Street. In the first quarter of the twentieth _century, John Butler Woodward acquired the property at 110 South River Street and moved into the family home. The Northampton Street property was eventually sold. The hatrack that stands in the entrance hall of Butler Hall was originally installed in the Northampton Street house. 2 Frederick Weckesser donated 78 West Northampton Street to Bucknell Junior College in 1938. 3 Until the college acquired the Weckesser house on South Franklin .Street, 154 �155 • Susquehannock Hall was known as Weckesser Hall in honor of its donor.

I The house was built in the first half of the nineteenth century. An exact date of construction is not known although, stylistically, the building was of a type that was being built in Wilkes-Barre in the 1840s. The property is identified on the 1850 city map as belonging to Beuben Flick. Tradition says that this is the same Reuben Flick who, later in the century, owned the building known now as Kirby Hall, The house at 292 retained most of its original features when it was demolished. Two notable changes that were made to the structure over the years are the addition of the one story porch on the facade and the installation of interior trim in a couple of the rooms. The trim that was added was from a circa 1787 house built on South Main Street for Timothy .·Pickering.

The house was built about 1880 for it is not shown on the ' 1870 city map or 1872 city view, but is indicated on the 1882 map. The structure was demolished i~ the mid twentieth century, probably about 1963 when the Wilkes-Barre Redevelopment Authority was demolishing a number of the buildings on Wright Street. Wilkes College acquired the land, apparently, from the Redevelopment Authority in 1965. 1 1 Luzerne County Deed Records, Book 1570, p. 874. This deed covers the transaction involving the land where now stands the cafeteria and men's dormitory. 181. �Site 157-159 South Franklin Street Now a parking lot, the open area on South Franklin Street, across from Weckesser Hall, is the site of the . house that was erected for H. Baker Hillman (18J6-1899), a coal operator, in the late nineteenth century. The exact date of construction is not known although it appears to have been built sometime between 1882 and 1894. The 1882 city atlas shows two properties, each with .one structure on it, for this area. The 1894 atlas illustrates that the two smaller lots were joined and that one house, indicated as belonging to Hillman, replaced the two smaller ones. By the publication of the 1904 edition of Sturdevant's Atlas of Wilkes-Barre, the property and the house were divided into two separate properties. The Hillman family retained possession of the northern half, number 157, until 1959 when it was sold to Wilkes College. 1 The southern portion, number 159, was purchased by the college in 1956 from the estate of the former Countessa Elena Dandini ( -1955). 2 The Countessa, who was born in Wilkes-Barre, was the daughter of Congressman and Mrs. Henry w. Palmer.J Married to an Italian nobleman, the Countessa resided in Europe for many years before returning to the United States and taking up residence at 159 South Franklin Street. 182 �18J ) The Hillman house was two and a half stories high and of brick construction with stuccoed exterior walls. The corners of the main structure and the projection to the north side were decorated with qubins. The facade was five bays across, symmetrically arranged, and had a one story porch. The openings for the principal windows and doorways' had segmental pointed arches. The house was razed soon after college acquisition. 1 Luzerne County Deed Records, Book 1440, p. 25). 2Luzerne County Deed Records, Book lJlO, p. 292. ) JThe Palmer residence was at 247 South Franklin Street. �7 183A 157-159 S.

The former Helen Constance Palmer, Countess de Sylva was the daughter of the late Congressman and Mrs. Henry H. Palmer of Wilkes-Barre. Born in this city, she spent the greater part of her life abroad , but returned to H.B. in 1945. The life of a countess presented a combination of romance and patriotism which led her to glamour and a European title and back to repatrition in the land of her birth . In 1915 she married Count Dandini de Sylva of Italian nobility forfeited her rights as an A~erican citizen and assumed the title of Countessa. Her husband, an officer in the Italian army was killed in action in 1916 during World War I. Following his death the Countess reBained in Italy and served as a war nurse in an army hospital, caring for the wounded until the Armistice in 1918. Althoup;h she travelled extensively and spent CTany of her summer s in Geneva, Switzerland, she visited her ho~e in this country at least once every few years . On these trips she travelled on Italian passports although she was of the opinion that she automatically reverted to her ~erican citizenship when her husband died . While she maintained homes on the Palazza Colonna in Rome and in Grasse, France, she recop;nized the Palmer suBmer residence in Laurel Run as her real home. In 1933, she applied for repatrition and the application was acted upon favorably by Judge Albert L. Watson in the Federal Court in Scranton. The Countess' father, the late Henry H. Palmer, served as Attorney General of Penna . and Congressman of the 12th District. He was one of the most prominent members of the Luzerne County Bar Association of the time. He·r mother, the late Ellen WebsterPalmer, was a pioneer in welfare work among workin8 boys of the Valley before child labor laws were enacted . She organized the Boys' Industrial Association for Working Boys, and a monument presently stands on the upper river CoITIQon near the city greenhouse erected in her honor. Added: 1 March 1983 Georgetta Nelson �183B ELLEN W. PALMER- ) "FRIEND OF THE WORKING BOY" by Charles A. McCarthy Sunday Independent April 17, 1983 The statue of Ellen Webster Palmer, "The Friend of the Working boy," located near the City Greenhouse on North River Street, Wilkes-Barre, was again restored to its pristine glory as a memorial to a Great Lady who did much to help the plight of the working boys of her era. • Restoration of the vandalized statue of Mrs. Palmer and her two friends, a breaker-boy and a news-boy, was made by Henry Schiowitz, a former resident of Luzerne County and a widely recognized sculpture. It is the second occasion for this beautiful and imposing statue to be damaged by unthinking culprits. The head of one of the boy figures was knocked from the display in 1955 by some unknown miscreants. The second effort to destroy the statue occured in Aur,ust, 1982 . ) Sometime after the death of Mrs. Palmer on Thrusday , May 2, 1918, her daughter, Contessa Dandani de Sylva, caused the monument to be carved in her honor. Fabricated by John P. Weiss Balz Company of North Main St. Wilkes-Barre, the completed work was initially installed opposite Union Street in Wilkes-Barre. On Friday, Dec. 20, 1921, it was announced the statue had been removed to its permanent site near the City Greenhouse on North River Street, dia g onally across the street from Kin g 's College Main Building. The entire statue which depicts Mrs. Palmer with her arms around a breaker boy on her right side and a news boy on her left side, weighed seven tons. This singular tribute to Mrs. Palmer honored her for her decades of work in helping the working boys of the community. As early as 1891, appalled by the near lack of recreational facilities available to young boys and aware of the need for help in assisting these boys to advance themselves, n rs. Palmer held a meeting of interested boys in a vacant store room on East Market St. Wilkes-Barre, on Monday March 9 1891. From this humble beginning in a vacant storeroom, the group grew from a modest 100 in its initial year to over 750 a decade later. AIDED BOYS Of the thousands of boys who benefitted from attendance at these meetings, many became prominent in community affairs. One of these, George C. Korson, then resident of the Heights section of W.N., later became recognized internationally for his compilation of materials concerning anthracite mines and miners. His most famous work was titled:"Minstrels of the Mine Patch". Shortly after commencement of the early Saturpay night entertainments, Mrs. Palmer varied the program to include a study of the three 'rs'. By this time attendance included not �page 2 ELLEN PALMER (cont.) only breaker-boys, but door-boys, newspaper-boys, shoeshine-boys and other youngsters interested in the programs offered. Boys attending represented a wide variety of national backgrounds. Mrs. Palmer's venture was so successful a need for larger quarters was quite noticeable. In its first few years, her group moved to such storerooms as were vacant. Later, Wilkes-Barre City Council allowed the group to occupy a large room in City Hall, which they occupied for about two years. GREAT INTEREST Interest in Mrs. Palmer's project became so great, a charter was granted in 1899 under the name: "Boys Industrial Association." Initial board of directors included: "William Conyngham, Alexander Farnham, A.C. Campbell, Henry W. Palmer, Martha Phelps, and S.J. Strauss. Miss Mary Trescott, the first woman admitted to practice law in Luzerne County Courts, served as board secretary and as chairman of its finance committee. By 1901, Boys Industrial Association was represented by two debating clubs. William Aston was president and Edgar Jones Secretary of Club Number One; Fred Phillips and Thomas J.

The property was acquired by the Fuller family a few years after construction and was retained by members of the family until the 19JOs. In the late nineteenth century, a mansard roof was added and the house and the land were divided into ·two separate units. The Glen Alden Coal Company purchased the entire property in the first half of the 19J0s and razed the structure. The property was acquired by Wilkes College in 1958 when the school purchased the building known now as Parrish and Chapman Halls from the Glen Alden Corporation, successors to the Glen Alden Coal Company. 2 For several years, the house was the residence of Henry M. Fuller (1820-1860), an attorney who served in the United States Congress from 1850 to 1854.

It had two stories plus a mansard roof and contained over twenty rooms. The ceilings of the first floor were approximately sixteen feet in height, · Tradition says that a ballroom exited on the third floor facing the river. The main hall on the first floor was tiled with marble as was the conservatory. A black walnut staircase opened to the third floor. Charles Parrish (1826-1896) was instrumental in establishing the anthracite industry of Luzerne County on 212 �213 a large scale. A founder of the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal Company, Parrish died while on a visit to Philadelphia after several financial setbacks brought on bankruptcy. Parrish Hall at 16 South River Street, erected for the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal Company, was named in his. honor by the college. A reception honoring President and Krs. Rutherford B. Hays was held in the Parrish house on July 4, 1876.J President Hays was the quest speaker at the ceremonies held earlier in the day in Wyoming, Luzerne County, observing the centennial of the Battle of Wyoming. In 1908, the property was acquired by John Nesbitt Conyngham (1865-1935), a coal operator and a nephew of Mrs. Parrish. 4 Conyngham had an extension added to the back or east side of the building and an elevator installed along the north side. The property was given to Bucknell Junior College in 1937 by Mrs. Bertha Robinson Conyngham in honor of her late husband, John Nesbitt Conyngham. 6 The property was the second parcel of land given to the college for use as a permanent campus. Up to the time of the fire in 1968, the building retained somewhat of its earlier grandeur through various wall coverings, murals and papers, which managed to survive the years of repainting., The reflecting pool 7 in the conservatory was removed in the conversion for academic use. �214 An ambitious plan to renovate the house for college 8 use was drawn up in 1937. The drawings show that the street facade was to be given a classical appearance with new fenestration arrangements and Corinthian columns, two stories high, on the portico. The exterior walls are illustrated as being brick calling for either the removal of the existing stucco or the addition of a veneer of bricks. The interior was to be drastically altered and extensions were to be built to house a library and a lecture hall. Conyngham Annex ' stands on the east end of the property and is pres~ntly used for classrooms. Built as the carriage house and living quarters for servents, the structure was _) probably erected in the 1870s. 1 oscar J. Harvey and Ernest G.

Many times around campus, there are groups of friends sitting and talking. In a tree behind Chase Hall, next to the bookstore and along the walkways are places where friends have gathered. Talking with friend is not the only thing to do on campus. There are many events at Darte Center that are enjoyed by Wilkes students, faculty and the public. Before we socialize and are entertained, we learn in Wilkes latest addition on South Franklin Street, the Classroom Office Building. Wilkes provides us with a well-rounded academic and social life. 4 �"Do not look back in anger or look forward in fear but around in awareness." 5 �The past, present and future came together on Thursday, August 31 during the 1995 Summer Commencement and Dedication of the John Wilkes Statue. On this sunny late-Summer day, 62 Wilkes students received their degrees and prepared to step into that future while a figure from the past, 18thcentury political reformer and University namesake John Wilkes, was honored with the unveiling of a bronze statue in his likeness. 6 ��As much as things change here at Wilkes University, so much still stays the same. You can remember the walks to class with one of your close friends that you never got to see enough of, like Sue George and Linda Chuong. Another thing that doesn't change on campus is the frequent visits to the John Farley Library. There are times when you would rather not be there, but there are also times when it is nice to sit and just read the newspaper in the solitude that only a library can provide. Wilkes also never forgets what makes it the university that it is today. The John Wilkes statue reminds us of the reason why we are Wilkes. On a more contem- porary level, our Alma Mater is known for its small classes and teachers that interact with students enthusiastically. 8 �. ' \ .' ~~ \ \~'.. , .

It started off on Thursday with Homecoming elections. The candidates for Queen were Holli Root, Jodi Depue, Kristen McNally, Katie Holliday, Karen Bednarczyk, Kim Howells, Mary Jo Cunningham, Kellie Klein, Amy Kuzmick and Kim Kaskel. All of these lovely candidates had an equal counterpart that could possibly have been her King for Homecoming Weekend . The candidates for King were Scott Mengle, Sean Gorman, JJ Grube, Tom Horvat, Brian Adams , David Habowski , Andrew Carter, Ali Quereshi, RobertStelnberger, and Mike LaMura. The crowning of the King Ali Quereshi and Queen Kim Kaskel happened at halftime during the Wilkes / Kings football game. The Wilkes Colonels defeated their top rival 29 to 15 . The Impressive game played at Ralston Field had led players such as Elijah Powell and Mike Conaghan. The team showed their sttength to their coach Joe DeMelfi, and proved that the Wilkes Football team should be taken seriously. There was much celebration throughout the weekend. The football game was not the only thing to celebrate. Capin Hall held an Open House, the Darte Center had its thirtieth anniversary, the Edward Darling, Jr. Theatre was dedicated and the Pep Rally were all events to celebrate. One of the biggest events was the Homecoming Dinner Dance at Gennetti's ballroom. The students of Wilkes looked their best, dancing the night away. The theme was "These Are the Days'' . .. to remember. Nothing could be more truthful when it comes to Homecoming Weekends at Wilkes.

Such a way of living can only be considered as a self-constraining, self-defeating, and eventually, a self-disappointing way of living. When individuals develop a pragmatic view of life determined by their special view or interest of religion, philosophy, morality, ethics, their rhetorical approach to any issue creates a causal relationship within the limits of their own interest. Whatever interests them less, or better stated, whatever isn't considered worth their while because of the closed-mindedness developed by their pragmatic determinism is simply rejected as false. This approach towards life prevents individual growth and creates only an illusion of "what is" because the only response these individuals can perceive is already predetermined by a selected and limited view. The philosophy behind the liberal arts education at Wilkes has made me realize that as individuals, we can not afford to view life as a subject of study which revolves around one law, but rather an object of study which revolves around an infinite body of man-made theories. And these theories, both past and present, when combined may imply a universal theory which may in fact shed some light upon past, present, and future reasoning with an eclectic view, but not however, an absolute law. History has shown human kind is right only for a moment because eventually he or she realizes that their views have been limited by the constant progression of deterministic reasoning. R. Patrick Simes English / Philosophy 1996 16 In short, you he mater will continue to Alumni Association w Come back often.

Whatever orth their while determinism is ividual growth and A Few Words From the President To The Graduating Class of 1996: You leave a changing Wilkes University for a dramatically changing world. The Class of 1996 has had a very special role in the campus transformation. You were the beneficiaries of new and renovated buildings as well as of a changing campus ambiance typified by the new Fenner Quadrangle, the improvements to Ralston Field, and the new statue of John Wilkes. More alterations and additions are planned for the years immediately ahead, and I hope you will return to campus and take pride in the increasing beauty and enhanced facilities of your alma mater. I write this letter just after participating in the Senior Awards Ceremony in the Edward Darling Theatre where the quality of our class and the opportunities flowing from your Wilkes education were everywhere in evidence. You continue the traditions of academic excellence that go back to the earliest years of Wilkes. You also have consolidated the tradition of community service that was still in its infancy during your freshman year. You have availed yourselves of the cooperative education and internship opportunities more than any previous class. In these and other ways you have set new standards and established new traditions affecting both the academic program and the co-curricular program at Wilkes. In athletics, both in men's and women's sports, you have reached new heights that your successors will be motivated to climb--and exceed. In short, you have helped me make Wilkes a better place. We hope your pride in your alma mater will continue to grow and that the leadership of your class in joining with a growing Wilkes Alumni Association will help strengthen the alumni's involvement and support of the University. Come back often. Stay in touch. Be Wilkes proud and encourage others to become beneficiaries of a Wilkes education. Good luck to the Class of 1996! Christopher N. Breiseth ���CLUB DAY ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL OCCASION Every fall, between Stark Learning Center and Chase Lawn, Club Day is held to recruit new and old members into signing up for clubs and special activities that coordinated by students to keep Wilkes students entertained and be active in volunteer services activities. Some major clubs make their appearance on a sunny day were Amnicola, Manuscript, Circle K, and Volunteer Services and Campus Interfaith. Among these clubs there was a tarot cards reader (sponsored by the Programing Board) on location reading students their fortune and giving their horescope for the year. Club Day is not just another event. It is an event that students can come out and join clubs that they are interested in or just to school and students get to know other leaders who keeps us students on campus on our toes. and off campus.

This year's issues included: Mental Health, Senior Citizens, Literacy, Children and Youth, and the Environment. Students volunteered from aweek long agenda of activities ranging from raking leaves with children at Kirby Park to picking up litter off the streets of WilkesBarre or playing games with senior citizens to teaching computer literacy skills to the • public.

Wilkes University held three blood drives in the 1995-1996 academic year. The first one was in early October. The first blood drive had 123 participants. This is over the goal of 120 participants. Amy Mazur, the Director of Volunteer Services, was pleased that Blood Drive '95 was a huge success. The blood drives were held in the Marts Center's Rumours lounge. It took place between 10 am and 4 pm, so everyone had an opportunity to donate. Giving blood is not a big chore, but as incentive there were prizes. Some of the prizes were cordless phones, gift certificates, and long distance phone cards. The other two blood drives were in 1996, one in February and one in May. All of them had refreshments such as soda, pizza, hoagies, and snacks. Giving blood to save someone's life can be more rewarding than you think.

Volunteer Services and Campus Interfaith, located on the third floor of Conyngham, offers students many exciting opportunities to become involved and make a difference. The programs allow students to make more friends on campus and in the community. Amy Mazur, head of Volunteer Services, and Mary Hession, head of Campus Interfaith, have worked hard for the past three years raising enthusiasm on campus and have established a newsfetter, a homepage, and a volunteer hotline to show for their efforts . 30 One of their programs, called Talk it Out, meets once a week for dinner, conversation and planned service projects. Other volunteer programs involving the community include: SHARE (a program especially designed for elderly persons which gives participants $30.00 worth of food for $14.QO each month), R.E.A.C.H. (a program for disadvantaged youth and their families), Association for the Blind, the Blood Drive, American Red Cross, and AdoptA-Grandparent (a program which visits the elderly at the Little Flower Manor who do not receive visitors). Whenever there is someone in need, you can be sure these services will be there to help. And thanks to Amy and Mary, Wilkes can continue to provide service to the community through students' efforts and generosity. �Amy Mazur volunteered at a children's center in Jamaica while researching a possible break trip sight for future volunteers . fanor who do not isitors). henever there is in need, you can be ~ services will be there t\nd thanks to Amy and ilkes can continue to ervice to the ty through students' d generosity.

Wilkes was graced by a few big names in the 1995-1996 academic year. On October 31, Halloween night, Rusted Root played for 3000 fans in the Martz Center. The band, originally from Pittsburgh, had an altogether different sound than what is usually offered today in the music industry. The six member band played hits such as "XTC", "Rain" and "Lost in the Crowd." The fans, some in Halloween costumes and some in street clothes, listened, sang along and danced to the cutting edge music. Another upcoming artist who opened for Rusted Root was Joan Osborne. She performed probably her most memorable song of 1995, "One of Us." Everyone seemed very pleased by both performances. 38 �As big as Rusted Root and Joan Osborne are, Alanis Morissette tops both of them. Wilkes was lucky enough to have one of Billboard's Top Ten artists. She intensely performed songs such as "You Ought to Know" and "Wake Up" as the stage glowed with her presence and candles. She sang in front of 2500 fans on December 5, 1995. She only paused briefly during her hour and a half long performance. Still the audience wanted more. they encouraged her to come back on stage for two more encores. During one of these she did a cover of Radiohead's "Fake Plastic Trees." Wilkes was "Head Over Feet" for Alanis and was just as happy to have Rusted Root here. 39 �1 Blizzard of Bucks! $$$$$$$ $$$$$$$ Above Left: What is she trying to do?? Above Right: Aww!

Everyone there tried their best to get as much cash as they could, but how easy was it really? Making yourself a public spectacle of ridicule and grabbing at the dollars in a blizzard machine may not have been as easy as it looked.

The weekend became a whilrwind of partying and merriment comparable in scale to the the wild Dionyscian passions of old. Friday night kicked off a large scale brain cell safari that carried well on into not only Saturday morning, but Saturday night and Sunday as well.

But some students decide to give of themselves instead. That's exactly what happened during the fall break trip to a halfway house in Maryland. At St. Martin's Home for Women and Children, seven students sorted and packed food in the center's food bank, hung clothing for the clothing bank and babysat for homeless women at the shelter. This year's spring break trip traveled to South Dakota's Rosebud Indian Reservation. Eight students repaired houses by painting and doing carpenter work while learning about the Sioux Indian culture through first hand 00 experience. As an end result, the students participating in the trips discovered the importance of teamwork in the midst of diversity. Dan Smith and Todd Vinovrski spent their spring break repairing houses in South Dakota. Andrea Sheasley and Tannele Yenkevick learned the meaning of teamwork by the end of the week. The spring break group posed for a picture with members of the Rosebud Indian Reservation. 47 �myof 30t theDarte Dis guy, he no se, 48 �I have no idea what I am doing.

Before the Mix and Match, students filled out a questionnaire about their interests and priorities in life. At the Kirby Center that night, students received a list of their matches. At first some students tried to find their match, but soon people just, played or watched "The Dating Game ," danced, talked with friends , and mingled with students from both neighboring schools . • •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Ri ght : Look at w ha t 1 got he re ....... ..

Shelburne Television Center Dedication After two years of planning and an investment of nearly $750,000 representing the first phase of construction, the Thomas P. Shelburne Television Center marked its grand opening in April, 1996. This facility serves not only as a powerful statement of Wilkes University's commitment to the future of its students and the importance of the electronic media, but as a living memorial to one of northeast Pennsylvania's most beloved and innovative broadcast pioneers. Mr. Shelburne began shaping a vision for the electronic media in the Wyoming Valley in 1946 when he began as a partner at WILK radio and television. Eventually, a later merger created WNEP-TV, the local ABC affiliate and market leader of this area. Known for his commitment to award-winning regional productions and community service, Tom Shelburne represents the very best in broadcasting and serves as an appropriate model for all incoming and prospective broadcasting students. The 5,500 square foot facility contains: two production studios, two modern control rooms, three seperate editing suites, a master "head end", four field cameras, and an adjacent long distance learning and teleconferencing center. The facility is not only innovative and exciting but so is the atmosphere inside the Department of Communications. Currently, 160 students are majoring in four concentrations: radio/television production, organizational communications, journalisim, and rhetoric/public communication; all comprising the fourth largest area of study on campus today. Additionally, weekly productions such as "Wilkes Today", "WOW!" and "Colonels Corner'' involve a significant number of students, both major and non-major at the center. -Story courtesy of the Shelburne Television Center 56 �LEFT: President Breiseth addresses the audience, paying tribute to Shelburne.

The show ran from Feburary 15-18 and was directed by Joe Dawson. 58 . .......__ �Qtarmina ~UI Dedicated to the coming of spring and the movements of the Goddess of Fortune, Carl Orffs Carmina Burana is a stirring work that enchants and enthralls its audience. The crowds that gathered to see the opera performed by students of Wilkes University were just that. Presented by by the theater, drama, and music department, Carmina Burana heralded the coming of Spring at Wilkes University. 59 �C/J E-t ~ C/J ~ > C/J C/J C, Q 0 ~ C/J 60 This April, Wilkes University was graced by the presence of the nationally acclaimed poet, W.D. Snodgrass. Snodgrass, a Pulitzer Prize winner, not only presented his works in an oral presentation to the general public, but met before hand at an informal tea with students and instructors to discuss poetry and writing in general. A man whose works influenced such poets as Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, and Robert Lowell, Snodgrass stunned and amazed the crowd with readings from his past works and his controversial newer work, "The Fuehrer Bunker". �'I, Wilkes ts graced by of the na.imed poet, :lSS.

Some of us were enjoying the warmer temperatures of our southern homes, but most of us were not fortunate enough to escape the Blizzard of 1996. There were over forty counties under a snow emergency which means that unless it is an emergency, do not drive. Therefore, the malls, grocery stores and entertainment centers were closed unless their employees could walk to work. Not to mention it was cold outside--about 15 degrees below zero. The wind gusts were up to 45 miles per hour at times. These were no conditions to go out and take a sleigh ride. Scraping off cars, salting pavements and shoveling heavy snow off of roofs were the main activities of the days in early January. Just days after the area started to recover, and we got back to school, Mother Nature stepped in again. Does everyone remember what they were doing the night of the evacuation? Probably so. After the Blizzard of 1996 came heavy rains and a January thaw that drenched and inundated the Wilkes campus and the surrounding Wyoming Valley. This was a perfect combination to make the Susquehanna River rise. The river was almost at full capacity. This made people wonder if the 37 foot levee could hold the powerful water. Wilkes-Barre took precautions and evacuated the areas surrounding the river, including Wilkes students. The students that could go home, did, while the 150 remaining students were transported by bus to College Misericordia. These students got buses at the Martz Center and traveled to Dallas for a one night stay. Wilkes was busy removing computer lab equipment and valuable art work from the basements and first floors of COB and the Stark Learning Center. All of the commotion started at about midnight. Even at this time of night, Wilkes got the news out through Residence Life Assistants, Security, and area media. By three in the morning, the bused students were in the gym of Misericordia. Residence Life thought that the procedure went very smoothly. The students from Wilkes were pleased with the neighboring college and the hospitable treatment. College Misericordia provided the students with free snacks, a television, games and basketballs. There was relief in sight when the Susquehanna River near the campus was not going to flood and it started to recede. By Sunday, practically everything was back to normal, so there was no reason for students not to get back in gear by going to classes bright and early on Monday morning. 63 �MULTICULTURAL STUDENT COALITION aru 64 �TION UnitedatWdkes, andUJiththe P\tTURE PHDro 1300TH 65 �I The 2nd annual Block Party was held on the Greenway between COB and Stark this year. The turnout was unbelievable. There were more games this year compared to last year. Some of the Block Party attractions are Aerobatron, Biosphere Bowling, Dunk Tank, High Striker, Sumo Wrestling, Battle of the Bands, Beer Tent, Food Vendors and many more. The Off Campus Council (OCC) sponsored this event with the support of Student Government, Inter-Residence Hall Council, Programming Board, and the Alumni Association. 66 ��Guest Lectures In September and October of 1995, Wilkes University was happy to welcome guest speakers Katie Kostner and Marcia Wallace, respectively. Miss Kostner spoke about the dangers of date rape and how to avoid it by sharing her own heart-wrenching story of when she was raped at William and Mary in Virginia. Ms. Wallace, of the television show "Webster," shared her story of her battle with breast cancer to inspire and inform others about this type of cancer. 68 �Left Page: Miss Katie Kostner This Page: Ms. Marcia Wallace 69 �Food Fest 1996!! Once again this year, the students were ever so happy to try out all the new kinds of food that could be found at Mardi Gras in Pickering Cafeteria. What kind of food was there? Everything from heavenly cheesecake to gourmet coffee to chicken fingers and pasta. Everyone went there hungry and went away more than stuffed. �Photos clockwise from left: --"Hmmmm. Now what do I want??" --"Now make sure you tell all of your friends about how good this food is, okay?" --Trying a little bit of everything .... --"Are you sure I'm going to like this, ma'am?" --Even our great cafeteria workers were having a good time at Mardi Gras! \ .

He was loved by all, young and old alike. He always had something nice to say whether it be giving good advice or paying someone a compliment. He was a perfectionist in all his endeavors.

For example, durtng the month of October, 1994, Wilkes apartment students and dorm students were targeted for robberies. After several break-ins, I helped establish a student crtme watch. Over 75 students attended an Informational lecture on how to make the crime watch successful. I also made It aware to the chief of Security that It was Important to Include apartment students In the escort service. He worked with myself and CJ Copley to Include apartment students In the program. Wlth our help, the admln1stratlon of Wilkes allocated funds to purchase the security car.· Karen Bednarczyk "Whether you are considered a leader or a follower, I believe that everyone has the ability to make an Impact on the lives of other people.

By getting to see my girls often and by spending so much time with them, I hope lo have enhanced their experiences as dorm students. I also tried to acknowledge the accomplishments of each girl when they had something Important happen--a recital, winning a scholarship, or just needed a pick-meup--by putting a sign on the front door.

There should be a support group for college dorm students who return home for the first time and their slogan should be: ''I' m not a slob, I'm a dorm student. " When my mother dropped me off at my dormitory for the first time she said to me, "study hard , learn to be independent and take care of yourself." Then she looked around at that tiny four by four cubicle that I would call home for the next eight months, sighed and said," You ' re gonna miss me . "College is different," she warned, " it's a completely different world. " Then she kissed me goodbye and called me everyday for the next eight weeks. While I was there, I considered my mother' s advice. She was more that right when she said college was a different world, in fact what it was a different culture. I spent my entire freshman year learning the rules and regulation s that were all-essential for survival in a dorm room. When I returned home in May it was safe to say that my mother and I both suffered from culture shock. I had been home for nearly three minutes when my mother con idered sending me away to the furthest boarding school in America. I dropped my luggage on the kitchen floor, sighed deeply and boldly announced my presence. "Mom, I declared, 'Tm home ." My mother stepped into the kitchen to greet me and I thought she might kneel over right there in front of my eyes. Never in my entire life had I seen a human being turn green. "What, do you live in a barn?" she asked. "No, I live in a dorm" I answered. " And I'm home for the summer. Aren't your happy?" I think it was then when the culture shock hit her the hardest. She said eight words to me after that, in fact those were the only eight words she said anymore. She just sat in the kitchen rocking back and forth with her eyes fixed on what I had brought home and for hours just kept repeating over and over again: "My house, my beautiful clean house, what have you done?" Apparently she didn't agree with the "dormean" way of packing. In her culture folding and organization are essential, but in my culture everyone packs a though they are evacuating the city due to a natural disaster. As with any unfamiliar culture, my mother was simply ignorant toward my new ways. So for the next eight hours, occasionally checking her pulse , I carefully explained to her how I did, pack appropriately. "You see, ma, " I began, "In that box,"(I pointed to a disorganized crate in the corner) "are my toiletries two rolls of toilet paper, three packages of coffee filters , an old pair of sneakers, 14 samples of generic hotel shampoo and conditioner, four boxes of generic bandages and a pair of elbow pads. " As I pulled each item out, I explained their purpose. " In my culture, coffee filters are the next best thing to toilet paper and the sneakers are a great way to avoid any foot fungus that may develop while taking a shower. As for the elbow pads, our showers allow for very little movement. " I stretched my arms far into the air to prove my point. " You don't realize it Mom , but a roomy shower is considered quite a luxury among dorm students." Anyway, I bent my elbow back and twisted my left leg to expose my bruises. "These are shower wounds. The elbow pads make washing my hair and shaving my legs a lot less hazardous and the bandages, well they ' re self-explanatory." I pointed to another crate. "In that crate are my kitchen needs." I dumped it's contents on the floor. It contained any and every kind of packaged, frozen, or canned food ever chemically processed by man. Packages of Ramen noodles, cans of Cheese-Wiz, Pez dispensers, Spam and spray on butter spilled on to my mother' s kitchen floor. There were only two other things left in the crate after I dumped it out - an economy size gallon of Pepto-Bismol and an overstuffed folder with menus to every fast food take-out joint in the area. My mother's condition worsened. Next I emptied the crate with my laundry needs. "In this crate I have one bottle of liquid detergent , a dust buster , a roll of fabric softe ner, and a large piece of cardboard . Where I live washer and dryers are sometimes hard to get, so when my clothes are dirty I simply sniff them, run the dust bu ster over them, rub them down with a piece of fabric softener, and then press then on this piece of cardboard so that they are not too wrinkled. It's really very convenient," I explained. With each crate I emptied my mother developed a new symptom. By the time I was finished not only was she a deeper shade of green but she also developed an eye twitching, a strange rash that ran from her chin to her chest and a very unhealthy grunting noise that occurred every ten seconds or so. Cleaning up and reorganizing these crates was the most traumatizing for her. She grunted a few times and pointed toward the vacuum and [ assume that is what she wanted me to do. So I carefully explained to her how "my people" don ' t vacuum until either our shoes stick to the rug disabling us from any sort of movement or until the bugs crawl out from beneath the bed and introduce themselves to us. It took me seven hours to make her " beautiful clean house" beautiful again.

My mother and I had our differences that summer. I did things my way and she did things the "nght" way. By the middle of the summer I was ready to start my support group. I could just see us a bunch of college dorm students sitting in a big circle at one o'clock in the morning explaining to each other how are parents think we are slobs and can't wait for us to return to school. I would be at the head of the group and we would all be wearing our tee-shirts that say: "I'm not a slob, I'm a dorm student." We would greet new comers with a friendly supportive "Hello." Members would say things like: "Hello, my name is Ted - I'm a first year student and last night my mother criticized me because I used Windex to wash the dishes. Then he would break down and we would all share our stories. Right around three o'clock we would order pizza and make a community jug of ice tea form which we would all drink. But most of all we would have a common bond. We all went to college and learned to take care of ourselves and to be independent. It may not be our parents way but we learned to do it alone. Maybe someday we will be more "civilized" but until then, I proudly wear my tee-shirt that reads: I'm not a slob l'm a dorm student.

I took a different route this past summer. After final exams were over, I got ready to compete at the Miss New Jersey Scholarship Pageant (a Miss America Preliminary.) On May 26, I made my venture to Ocean City, New Jersey, "The Home of the Miss New Jersey Scholarship Pageant". I stayed in Ocean City for the week. While there, I was in the Miss New Jersey Parade representing the northern part of the state as, Miss Northern Lights. Throughout the week there were many vigorous rehearsals, interviews, and preliminary competitions. I won a preliminary award in the swimsuit competition. Then all the hard work paid off on June Lst, when I was called for Top Ten, and then Top Five! From that moment on I was in seventh heaven . After they called fourth runner up, third runner up, and second runner up, l found myself standing with only one other girl. Then the announcer said, "And the First Runner-up is Miss Hu ...", and when they began the name of her title I knew they weren ' t saying Northern Lights!!! I was crowned the new Miss New Jersey! At that moment I realized that this year I would not be watching the Miss America pageant, instead I was going to be in it. In becoming Miss New Jersey I won a lot of prizes including: The use of a 1996 Ford Taurus, and the use of a I 997 Ford Contuor (when the '97's came out), scholarship money, and jewelry. The rest of my summer was not spent in summer classes, or working, or even going to the shore with my friends. Instead my summer was used to prepare myself for my depa1ture to Miss America on August 28th. Throughout my summer, I made numerous appearances, participated in parades , was a guest for a local radio station, was flown down to Tennessee to get "headshots" photographed, and I even found a spare moment to come to Wilkes University to speak to the incoming freshman. It was definitely a summer to remember! [t was when I became Miss New Jersey, when I realized how much support I really had. After I returned from my crowning moment in Ocean City, my town proclaimed that June L6th through the 23rd was now "Melanie Bell Week". To kick off this week, they held an old fashioned parade in my honor in which I rode on a horse and buggy. At the end of the parade, they presented me with the key to my town of Vernon, and a number of resolutions from both my town, and my county. At the end of the week, my mayor held a reception, where the towns people donated money to me to defer the costs of my wardrobe. When you enter the town of Vernon now, you are welcomed by a sign that not only says, "Welcome to the Township of Vernon," but it also says, "The home of Melanie Bell, Miss New Jersey 19961997." One more thing happened that summer that l felt to be unbelievable. I was given a joint resolution from the Assembly and the Senate. To receive this reward I went to the State House, and I was able to speak to both houses, and was able to speak to New Jersey's Governor, Christine Todd Whitman. The time soon came when I found myself preparing to leave for Orlando, Florida where I would meet the rest of the contestants. While in Florida T was able to ride all the rides, eat all the food and not have to worry about the competition. We were only in Florida for three days, which was spent getting to know everyone, and relaxing. We soon left Florida on our track to Atlantic City in a chartered jet, only flying the contestants and their traveling companions. We had the whole plane to ourselves. From the moment we landed the minutes , hours , and days flew by. They were filled with lengthy rehearsals, interviews, and preliminary competitions. Although I was not amongst the top ten, I can not say I was angry with all that happened. I guess that was because I was treated like royalty for three weeks, I was able to say my name and school on national television , and met some of the best friends a girl could meet. In fact, [ am still in touch with many of them . You meet 49 other women with the same ideals, the same dream, it would be amazing if you left there without becoming friends with aJJ or most of the girls. On Sunday, September 15th I returned to Wilkes ready to dive into my studies as a normal college student. However, from that day on was nothing like normal college students life.

With this tour I would miss many school days. But being a determined person , I stayed in school. I am the first Miss New Jersey to remain in school during her year of service. I believe it was one of the best choices I ever made. I was now able to have the best of both worlds: Miss New Jersey, and college life.

I think the most ludicrous excuse I ever came up with was during the Persian Gulf war. I was in eighth grade and I told the vice principle I was late for school because I was chased by a pack of crazed Arabian terrorists. That same year I also told my math teacher I was failing because the lobotomy I had as a child cost me the mathematical portion of my brain. By the time I reached high school my excuses became more elaborate. When anxiety overwhelmed me [ hyperventilated during the HSPT (High School Proficiency Test) I blamed it on chronic asthma triggered by the lead particles in the number two pencils everyone was forced to use . But when I refused to change for gym class claiming that my house was invaded by angry skunks and my clothes retained their putrid odor I knew God had given me a special gift. It was the gift of excuse giving and it was safe to say that this gift had gotten me through six years of elementary school, two years of junior high and four years of high school. I thought I was ready for college. The first week of school I strolled into my nine o'clock class ten minutes late. The professor stopped his lecture and said to me, "Let me guess - crazed Arabian terrorists?" It was then when I knew college wasn't going to be as easy as I thought. I might actually have to do something. I tried everything to avoid the exams and term papers that were assigned to all college students. I learned quickly that the ''I'm too sick to go to class today" bit didn't work in a fo ur year university. I dreaded going to class and still do. The lecture always seems to push me into a temporary coma. Before I took History I didn't think it was possible not to blink for an entire hour and fifteen minutes straight. I can actuall y feel myself slipping away as the professor speaks. First I lose feeling in all of my limbs, then my mouth drops, my eyes open wide and my eyebrows crinkle into a puzzled frown , sort of like the expression my grandmother makes when I try to explain compact discs . I usually hold my pen in my hands as though I'm taking copious notes and actually understand what he's sayi ng and why he would take the time to say it. A fell ow classmate once told me that the professor actually spoke to me while I was in one of these trances but all I did was grunt. Once I realized that there was no excuse for not doing my work I dedicated all of my time to postponing my work. In other words I became a hard core procrastinator. It was like an addiction I couldn't control and it started with those fo ur tiny words , "I'll do it later." I found millions of reasons why I couldn't do my work at that particular moment. I would actually rather sit on the bathroom floor and count the tile blocks than do my work. There are 62 to be exact. One time I spread a think layer of Elmer's glue over both my hands until I managed to peel off the perfect set of latex gloves. Until one day it finally caught up to me. I had managed to put off studying for my history test until 2:00 am the night before and had an entire box of latex gloves to show for it. It wasn ' t until I got my test back when I realized [ was failing miserably. I had managed to get a 43 .5% not even half the answers correct on my test. I couldn' t believe it. I tried reasoning with my professor and even lied and said that l suffered from "sporadic amnesia". A condition I obtained from a childhood head trauma. He just nodded and said "that's too bad." Ashamed of my failure I left my dorm room, doomed to a life of cardboard boxes and cat food. I found myself walking aimlessly through the city searching for the most comfortable bench to sleep on for the next fifty years of my life. I strolled into a local connivance store and purchased a pack of cigarettes thinking I would turn to a life of drugs. As I walked the streets I saw businessmen in business suits and wondered how many 43.5%'s they had gotten in their lives. I saw a bitter old man with a can in his hand and wondered what his excuse might be. I had lost all hope and worst of all I was out of excuses. I needed to talk to someone who could answer all of my questions and tell me everything would be O .K. Then somewhere between that connivance store and my dorm room I met Sally. A lonely old women sitting on a bench with a shopping cart filled with her belongings and a paper bag from which she would swig. l sat next to her and had a smoke. She introduced herself and offered me some unhealthy meat that she was eating out of a round flat can labeled "Frisky Whiskers" "No thanks," I said "It's not my fault ya know," she began.

It's not even my fault I drink." "Well then whose fault is it?" I asked. Then in a low monotone voice she said, "Psychotic alien tribes." "Excuse me?" She bounced up and screamed, "Psychotic alien tribes chased me to work everyday and made me late!!! My boss didn't believe me and fired me!!!" She calmed herself and sat back down. At that moment it hit me - Sally reminded me of someone. Someone I didn't like. I glanced at my watch, it was still early but I was wasting time. I stomped out my cigarette and threw the pack to Sally. It was time to kick the drug habit. "Where ya goin'?" she asked Dinh Trang, 1st yr. Jud ith Vand e l, 3rd yr. Oliva Vogt, 3rd yr.

In an effort to initiate incoming Freshman into the world of extracurricular activity on campus clubs enticed non-members towards their own particular booths with candy, jugglers, pendulums of doom and other assorted oddities. There students learned a little bit about all the clubs on campus, i.e. what they do, how one joins, and what being a member entails. Set on the sidewalk in front of Kirby and Chase Halls, students thronged to the stands on the cool September afternoon and learned a bit about all the interesting activities on campus. �IF&IfilJE ~ 1r ~ 0 ••••••• reshman into :ampus clubs 1 particular of doom and learned a little Lat they do, how 1ils.

For two days parents can meet friends they've only heard about, see where classes are held, and maybe even meet a prof or two.

Though there are still stories about those giant flesh eating cockroaches that dwell in the sub-basement... �.I : This year a new dorm opened its doors to Wilkes students. Fortinsky Hall a.k.a. The Fort, formerly faculty offices, has become home to two sets of students. Fortinsky 227 was opened to the male population of campus, and Fortinsky 225, the apartment style half, was opened up to both genders. The building, though needing a little fine tuning, was in tip top shape when students returned from Summer break. Fortinsky Hall has quickly become one of the most sought after residence halls by students returning to Wilkes and in most estimates will probably become an even more prized comodity as whole apartments graduate at the same time.

This facelift had several unseen side affects, the least of which was a mud bog fit to house Swamp Thing. The large "Mud Way," as students soon took to calling it, also began to exude an pungent aroma similair to that of the Louisiana bayou sans the smell of cajun fried cat fish. The end product; however, was near in sight for as soon as the snow melted and the mud dried, the "Green Way" actually started to become green. Construction workers worked to restore the grass that had existed the year prior and did a suprisingly good job, the only catch, most students were not here to see it. In the year to come however, the "Green Way" restored to beauty will more than likely be useful for such events as Club Day and/ or the Blockparty. Though we did suffer through a year of mud, slime and the mellow stink of stagnant ex-snow, the "Green Way" is well on its way to being useful to all students in the years to come. �Back to School Means one thing t Facelift , aestetic beauty of soon will stretch van's parking lot. a mud bog fit to : to calling it, also Jayou sans the smell : for as soon as the to become green. he year prior and lere to see it.

This year's welcome back mixer was held in the belly of the Arnaud C. Marts Center in the Rumours Night Club and demonstrated one fact, there's nothing Wilkes students like more than to party. However, there was nay a keg or case in sight all the students had a fine time, chatting with old friends, making new aquantaces and whole heartedly goofing off after a summer of only halfheartedly goofing off. The Wilkes Welcome Back Mixer was, as it is every year, a rip roaring sucess. �Gambling. Sin. Two things that taste great together. Like numerous Native American reservations across the country Wilkes University did the unspeakable, it legalized gambling ... well, sort of .... This year Wilkes University sponsored another infamous Casino Night where the students could sip soda, relax and scream such mantras as "Yes, Boxcars!" "Blow on 'em for luck," "Come on, my watch for twenty in chips!" "@#$#&$# #$%@&!" and "Pay up the twenty plus intrest or we break your legs ... slowly.... " Actually things did not get so out of hand. The gambling was merely for prizes such as stereos, dorm refrigerators and other, minor Hell Raising at Wilkes prizes. Also no loan sharks were present and no one in the room looked like Joe Pesci. This allowed Wilkes students to enjoy a fun night of gambling and not loosing a red cent. Like years past, Wilkes' Casino Night was a gala event filled with laughter, music, and a whole lotta gambling; truly one of the highlights of the year on campus events. Who knows ... Maybe next year we'll get to play the ponies too. �;ambling. in. wo things that taste great '.ke numerous Native n reservations across the Wilkes University did the 1ble, it legalized ; ... well, sort of.. ..

Wilkes Mardi Gras has Populace Pri:m.ed to Burst Fat Tuesday ... The feast before the famine ... Two words ... "Lotsa food!" Wilkes, in an annual act of charity to its starving students, invited a number of catere to push their wares upon the ravenous masses of Wilkes students in order to give the cafeteria a better grip on what the students of Wilkes exactly want to eat. Food varied from stir fry to pizza to chicken on a stick. Flavored coffee floated through the throngs of humanity along side maccaroni and cheese and fried fish. Student "ooohed and ahhhhed" at the plethora of tasty food that was literallty pushed on them by vendors hungry to make the crowd happy and a few sizes bigger at the waist. Mardi Gras, an event all on campus students wait for each year, proves that if there' one thing students love, it's food, and lots of it. �lo, -,---''' n.ed to Burst .,otsa food!" vited a number of caterer n order to give the to eat.

That's what you would have seen if you had attended this years collegate battle of the bands. Public Square was shaken by the furious bass riffs and thundering drum beats of bands from Kings to Wilkes to Misercordia. Although, the Wilkes contingent, Bedford, put up a good fight they came up short. Funny, considering they have a seven-inch and cassette EP in the stores. �On Feburary 2f 1997, a chanting, pos waving mass of upse oncerned students marched on the Dorth Dickson Darte Cente protest the tuition hi~ oon to be instated by Board of Trustees.

STUDENTS FIGHT TUITION HIKE TO NO AVAIL �On Feburary 28, 1997, a chanting, poster waving mass of upset, concerned students marched on the Dorthy Dickson Darte Center to protest the tuition hike soon to be instated by the Board of Trustees. While the event was publicized by flyers around campus and word of mouth, only a good three dozen students turned out for the event, trying their best to convince the Board of Trustees not to raise tution by such an extreme amount. The event was covered by two out of three local TV newstations and one local radio station as well. This fact, along with the students' incessant .TS FIGHT .HIKE TO [L / t chanting and sign waving prompted the Board to allow the students in, not to address the Board on a whole, but to "talk" with individual memebers. This however did nothing to stop the Board from hiking tution by 14.45 percent. But on the bright side ... �Hey! We got a beer tent!!!! Woooohoooo! Wilkes' Annual Blockparty is a Success �Johoooo! :ess How often do you get to see full grown men dressed in large air filled sumo costumes slam into each other while a crowd of surly, half drunk college students hoot and jeer in the background while at the same time listening to one of many local bands fill the air with a cacophony of rhythm? Not often. At the Wilkes Second Annual Block Party, however, sights such as this are seen hour after hour as the party trudges on through the day, a behemoth of college students, rock n'roll, food vendors and even a beer tent. It's the closest thing you'll get to Carnival this north of Mexico. This year the block party was held at Ralston Field as opposed to the Green Way between Stark and COB due to the reconstruction of the Green Way. Though this did affect the turn out for the event, people still showed up in droves to eat drink and make merry. �Mulitcultural Awareness Week At Wilkes [J - --------------' This year Wilkes University, in its on going efforts to heighten the public's awareness of cultural diversity, sponsored a much attended, highly anticipated, week of multicultural awareness. The events held during this week demonstarted that men and women of all races, creeds, and colors could come together to become more sensitive to the beliefs and needs of other groups. These events, held every year, help not only Wilkes Students, but the community as well. �Week Wilkes is year Wilkes ty, in its on going efforts :en the public's ss of cultural diversity, '.d a much attended, 1ticipated, week of :ural awareness. ~ events held during this nonstarted that men ten of all races, creeds, :s could come together e more sensitive to the d needs of other nese events, held every ) not only Wilkes but the community as �Monster Mosh What masks? All Hallow' s Eve, a time for the ghosts and specters to ride with pale Hecate's crew cross the sky and a time for mere mortals to GET DOWN!!! Once again, Wilkes University students were always ready for a good time and poured into the Marts Center looking as macabre as fiends of the lower realms and as hungery for a party as a vampire is for fresh blood. Wilkes University, it could be said, hosted a party that woke the very dead. �Dinner with The Lords of Lords In a stroke of fate too a large for ~my mortal to fully comprehend, both the director and assistant director of Residence Life got married in the same year. That's right ladies, both Darren Hack and Doug Lane are both out of circulation for good. To commemorate this amazing spin on the wheel of fortune as well as thank both men for their service to Wilkes, a party was held to honor the duo and the brides, for when the stars align a party must ensue. �Trick 'r' Treat •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• You This year Wilkes University Volunteer Services once again sponsored a Halloween Party for local underprivelged children. Candy, as one could imagine, was abundant, as were children in the garb of ghosts, ghouls, witches, and dare I mention them .... Power Rangers. Games also abounded from bobbing for apples to musical chairs. �Bwah-ha-ha ''' ••• You Laugh, You Lose ..... Ever try not to laugh while someone in front of you cracks jokes that would make Al Gore actually act animated? Well, that was the scene at the Wilkes Sponsored Game Show, "You Laugh, You Lose". Students packed Rumors to try to win a few bucks or maybe even a door prize by trying not to burst into fits of belly aching, side splitting, booming laughter. As one can imagine, a good time was had by all, not only due to the fact that the host himself was outrageously funny, but watching one's fellow classmates turn red faced trying to contain their laughter was treat enough. �The Wilkes University Programming Board consistently displays a knack for drawing some of the biggest names in show biz, and they don't come much bigger than the piano man himself, Billy Joel. Now in the lecture circuit phase of his career, Joel regaled those in attendance with stories of his younger days, fielded questions from the audience, and, of course, played several songs from his impressive repetoire. Although some students may have hoped for a more traditional concert, few were disappointed by the end of the show. Perhaps it was put best by Sophomore, Keith Previc when he said, "Hey, this is Billy Joel were talking about! As long as he's not doing a mime act, it'll be one heck of a performance."

Most students, on their own for the first time in their lives, find it a bit hard to adjust at first but, as time passes and the faces and places around campus become more familiar, life becomes easier, and much more exciting. Parties, dances, sporting events, and special events like Winter Weekend and the Homecoming Dance all help make campus life a hot bed of activity, a veritable whirlwind of action. It's hard not to find something to do on a Friday night. There are free movies, concerts and plays at the Darte Center and parties lie just around the corner. Life is as fast paced as one wants to make it. �This year, the Wilkes campus grew by leaps and bounds. The connotation of the word "Pickering" was reworked. Fortinsky Hall threw its arms open wide to recieve its first live - in occupants in years, and a new phone system was installed making sure every dorm room had a phone line as well as the possibility for cable television if desired. �Campus life was far from dull. The tuition hike caused students to reevaluate what they expected from Wilkes and what they were receiving. The freshman class was the larg in years as was the portion of it residing on campus. New faces abounded. Every event on campus seemed to be filled by standing room only crowds. We at Amnicola hope you enjoy these glimpses of your friends, be they old or new, or even yourself.

We all started out at orientation not knowing what this year had in store for us, now most of us could fill the shoes of the orientation leaders who gave us our first glimpse of Wilkes University. We walked onto campus believing it was as big as the city, but we left knowing that it was more like a family.

Michael Rosh, Alyse Baumann, Michael Beachem, Jill Fasciana I have spent the last four years being an active member of student government. It has not only taught me great deal about responsibility, time management and leadership - all right, well blah, blah, blah, l won't talk about all that good stuff that may seem trite and uninteresting. I will say this, my experience as president has taught me a great deal. I am not referring to all that time management stuff, but more about people and who we are here at Wilkes. Student government is responsible for all the terrific activities that many of you partake in, such as homecoming and the weekend of clean family fun - Winter Weekend. We also give money to clubs to take various trips such as conferences and museums. But that is not all that we do. Granted, student government isn't out to shake the world instead we like to stand up simply for what we believed we deserve and we try to make changes happen on campus. To put it all in perspective, having turkey melts at the cafe and SUB was just as important to some of you as keeping the bookstore on campus. Phone service was not up to par, so we contacted the appropriate people. Also many were initially unsatisfied with maintenance and we expressed our concerns to them.

You attended the forum student government provided with President Breiseth. Also, some of you decided to picket against the increase - a pure indication that you have learned what the university has taught you to do as individuals by standing up for your beliefs. I leave my position as president, not in a sad state of mind, but enthusiastically, knowing that we as student government members have made a difference in all aspects of university life this past year. This year proved that no task is too trivial for student government to help accomplish. People have different needs, some seemly more important than others. But as we realize, they really aren't When it came down to it, the concern over juice at dinner was just as important as parking permit applications and improving the mid-semester grade reports. We tried to accommodate every need great or small. Our theme for orientation this past summer was 'light the torch' - which was an exiting time - with the biggest class yet to enter Wilkes. Well, now I am passing the torch on to brighten future ahead. Wilkes is growing and expanding day by day which provides us with the wonderful opportunity for us to grow and change too.

The sports events that occurred throughout the year were packed with ecstatic students, faculty, friends, and family that screamed and roared for the Colonels to win. This excitement was not only generated by the crowd, but also by the spirited and energetic cheerleading squads. When the Colonels' seem to be in a tough spot and the fans begin to lose faith, the cheerleaders always seem to know how to get the crowd back into the game. We would like to thank these young men and women for giving up their time to support our school's teams in both victory and defeat. Both the fall and winter squads increased their numbers since last year, and hopefully next year they will receive even more help in cheering on our Wilkes Colonels' sports teams.

Since the 1970's, Wilkes has competed at the NCAA Division I level, but due to widening gaps between the two, Wilkes decided to make the change, now having all 13 varsity sports under the same banner. "As Division III students-athletes, the wrestlers will be afforded the same opportunities to be successful on a team and individual level just as they would be in Division I," said Wilkes head wrestling coach Al Zelner. Wilkes wrestling, while a member of the MAC, were a conference power proving victorious for 14 MAC crowns; including seven straight from 1968 to 1975 under Coach John Reese. Wilkes also captured the first NCAA Division III Wrestling Championship in 1974 and produced 12 AllAmericans in two years of Division III competition.

The FBI officers assigned to Reno came to survey the area the day before the event in order to set their parameters. These parameters including choosing the route she would take to get to the stage, clearing people out of the way, and keeping offensive people away from her. A meeting was held with Reno the day before commencement to discuss these parameters and designate which officer would be responsible for which tasks. These jobs were divided among seventeen officers-six FBI men, four policemen, and seven Wilkes security personnel. Jerry Cookus, chief of Wilkes security, said that, "it was a cooperative effort that required planning the day before, but everything went very well and according to plan." 01l7\1>1J7\l1S Above: Janet Reno speaks to the graduates during the commencement ceremony. 19 ��1999 Wilkes Senior Week Festivities For Graduating Students The Senior Week festivities at Wilkes University are a time for all graduating seniors to gather one final time before graduation day.

Protheroe Sipping on a Forty and Wishing for Something Better Otis Redding serenades me before a secondfloor window above the dark street. Sipping on aforty and wishing for something better. I've been wearing sunglasses at night. You should've seen my baby's face, her eyes would knock you out. I am having a hard time determining what I want. Jobs are insignificant, and work is for suckers. I met a woman and she's so purdy. She likes to dance and so do I. The way my grandparents dance. She thinks I'm quiet and brings it up. I play coy, and just nod my head. Sometimes I like to imagine what It would be like to take her to one of those early Appalachian dances. The ones that were held around the harvest. I'd imagine that the temperature would be nice enough that we wouldn't sweat, as we gallivant around the gazebo. We would feel the heat coming from the fire on our face if we got too close. I would definitely be smelling pies made from the fall crops. And the whole town would be watching us because we are the youngest couple. That would be great. But, now my forty is empty, and the truth at the bottom is... I am just a poor man, and the son of an Appalachian monster. I am not built for this kind of beauty. She could surely do better than this. J. Kauwell 74 �K.

Never even trying, just to say I did Excuses aplenty to avoid the inevitable. Frozen here on a plateau Nothing will get better. Hope, a faint glimmer, dies out.

I want to know where you are, who you are with, and what you are doing. I've often heard it said that a picture is worth a thousand words, but thase pictures that I have of you are worth a thousand questions. You look about five years old, in your holster and guns. Who are you pretending to be? Buffalo Bill Cody? I can imagine, although I will never really know, that this was a most memorable Christmas for you. The tree is shining and its brightness is reflected in your face as you smile mischievously, gun in hand. Now you are older, probably in eighth grade. It's funny how eighth-graders look so much older nowadays. You, though, had a very young face. And even though your lips are not parted in a smile, I can tell that you are waijing for the photographer to signal that you are done, so that you c0uld break out into your laughter. You always looked so serious, yet those that know you, know that you were almost always smiling on the inside. Who ironed your shirt, I wonder. It looks so crisp and clean, definitely not an indicator of the poor circumstances in which you grew up. Nor do you look deprived as Buffalo Bill Cody, smiling broadly beside the shimmering Christmas tree. Did you like to pretend a lot? Did you play make-believe in your holster set? I can hear you say, "Aw, c'moli Bill," when your older brother wouldn't indulge your Buffalo Bill fantasy. He never had fun like you because he was too serious. He could laugh out loud, but not like you did. . . You, you laughed inside and out, and your laughter spread hke seeds caught 1n a wind. Now you are grown. You have graduated. Did they tell you at your graduation that you are called to be a leader, and you must help mankind in his quest for the greater good? Did they tell you that you are the key to the future? Did you believe them? You should have, because you were the key to my future. You are the key to my future. I could say that these black and white photographs bring back memories, but they don't. I know nothing of them, as they are your memories and you are not here to explain them. I could tell you the truth, and that would be that these old phot09raphs upset me, despite the happiness I see in them. I could also say that looking at these pictures makes me angry, and that would be true too. I am angry because I cannot ask you to explain them because you are gone. There will be no more photographs. They are all I have, and yet, they are really nothing. K. 0chreiter Impromptu Things I hear this as I step cautiously into the men's room near the food court of the local mall: "Man! This ... is ... the BEST day of .. .my LIFE!" Admittedly I'm pleased-that whiny and throaty statement was definitely the funniest thing I've ever heard come out of a stall in a men's room. Well, farts were real funny when I was younger, but this is different. I guessed the kid to be around five. "First we go ...to ...JOEY'S, and THEN ... wecometotheMALL ... and, and, and there's a MERRY-GO-ROUND! This's the best day of my life. I really think." Now I'm really happy, I'm dumbfounded! This voice was the epitome of happiness, of simplicity, of joy. When was the last time I saw anything so clearly, or so innocently, what a gift! I could not wait to meet this little guy. It made me glow to just think about Joey's, a merrygo-round, and the best day of my life. Why cc3:n't it stay so simple? I had to see this kid! "And , and I didn't know about any of it! I, I, didn't know. I didn't know where we going, and .. .and this is, I LOVE this." I was in awe; what a show! As the door opens, I turn and see my little friend, the boy who made my day by basking in his innocent and ignorant gloiy. He had on a_ bright red button-down sweater with a w~1te collared s~,rt underneath that made him stand out against the pale tile of the restroom. I was not disappointed. He looked up at me smiling, one tooth short of a row on both top an? bottom and went for the sink. He was awesome. His ' huge brown eyes were opened wide as if still surprised, and his freckled cheeks jiggled back and forth as he spread the soap between his hands. He was perfection. He was fat, and that made it even better. He dried his hands and met his father. "Dad," he said, as he looked three feet straight up, "I didn't even know." I was so pleased with the timing of my bladder. I looked at the father, expecting to get a smile back, an acknowledgement of how damn cute and innocent his fat son is, how great it is that he is so happy, and that it took so little. Just a small recognition of my inspiration! No such luck. "l know son," began his father. "Impromptu things usually are quite fun." The boy's smile faded slightly. His head suddenly leapt off the scruff of his upper back, to its thinking position, which was not unlike that of a confused puppy trying to figure out his master's command. His head cocked back into place. "Huh?" "You know son, impromptu. Spur-of-the-moment, all-ofa-sudden. Com'mon, let's go." M. Schreiber .- 77 �Untitled A Crooked Hall I feel grossly inadequate, Like a wooden rowboat in a sea of gilded galleons.

Kauwell 79 �The Dignified Man He was like that ever since he could remember. Even in grade school he carried himself with an air of sophistication. Sure the other kids didn't like him very much, but he didn't value their opinions about anything so it didn't matter. There was the time whe he was dared to eat paste, and almost considerd it to earn the respect of his peers. But he didn't and the teacher had been watching him and congratulated him on being a very grown up boy for the first grade. Compliments from teachers, dignity was always good for that. Dignity was all he ever wanted. He could dress more carefully than anyone else in his school. Jeans and a T-shirt didn't cut it for him. He needed effort. Shirts that you had to button proved that he took his time getting dressed in the morning. The more buttons, the better. Ties added more effort to the process. A nice tie (under a button down collar of course) and he was ready to face the world. He spoke with proper grammar at all times: may I go to the lavatory, to whom did you wish to speak. Hell, he never even cursed. He didn't like the music his peers did, effort again; Mozart put effort into his music, three guys with guitars and a drummer wouldn't know the definition of effort. He didn't act the way his peers did, mainly because it consisted of listening to effortless music and getting drunk; apparently the high school equivalent of eating paste. So consequently, he was not very popular with those peers. But he didn't need them. Why go to a party to listen to noise surrounded by people he considered undignified when they were sober let alone trashed off their asses? There was a short time when he did consider going to his senior prom. The thought of all those tuxedos and prom dresses made him almost forget whom he was really thinking about. In the end though, he decided it didn't matter how nice they were dressed; they would never act dignifed enough to suit him. The music would be wrong, and the whole point of prom night was afterwards you'd get drunk, eat paste, smoke something, get laid, anything but act the way intelligent human beings were supposed to act. So dignity didn't win him many friends, but it didn't make him any enemies either, and it had gotten him his job, and then his promotion. Yes, dignity had done it all. He loved his job. They were so impressed at the interview that they hired him immediately. He was the youngest employee ever to be promoted to management. Now almost everyone who worked there had to call him sir, and he thought (correctly) that he made more money than all of his classmates combined. 80 Which is why h and could no lo dignified in the Twenties had a · dignity didn't le, as he feared he , he was walking and his big, fat c who had appare1 decided that neit (his legs now qu could think was, suited him well a dignifed corpse t �grade school he ls didn't like him very in't matter.

Not when he was old and could no longer take care of himself, as he had seen happen to so many who were dignified in the past. The past was where he wished he lived. A good suit from the Twenties had a vest to button, a jacket to button, and even a hat to straighten. But no, dignity didn't leave him when he was forced to buy a meager meal with food stamps, as he feared he would before he got his job. No, instead his old friend left him while he was walking to the bank in his favorite suit with his best power tie around his neck and his big, fat dignified check in hand. That is when he met some drunken, fat slob who had apparently long ago decided that dignity didn't mean anything and recently decided that neither did red lights. And as the dignifed man laid there on the street (his legs now quite an undignified mass of bone, blood, urine, and Italian silk) all he could think was, "this will not do, this will not do at all."

Amnicola Volume 54 Copyright 2002 The Wilkes University Yearbook �hen you decided in high school that college was the right choice, did you ever imagine it would be like what it is today? We see in the movies the sororities, the constant frat parties, the completely disorganized and chaotic life of a college student. If this was really true, colleges would have died out a long time ago. By no means is college life a walk in the park. Attendance, quizzes, tests, final exams, labs, papers, research... and those are just for the fifteen credits you take on each semester. Add on the extra curricular activities you get yourself into: writing for the Beacon, hopping on air with your very own radio show on WCLH, joining the Psych Club, the Pharmacy Club, or any club related to your major, going into politics with the student government, or perhaps forming an underground organization to fight for some student rights. Then there are sports. Football in the fall, baseball and softball in the spring. Training year round, making it to practices, revving up for the big game. And if that wasn't enough, then we have to worry about paying for this whole experience. Some of us are lucky enough to get a scholarship or a grant to make up some of the difference, but even so, that only provides for room, board, and class. So we go out and find a part-time job, either to help pay for our education , or just so we have some cash on the weekends to pay the cover charge at the clubs. Class, work, activities, and your personal life all get crammed into a few years where you are studying to become whatever it is you wish to accomplish. Sometimes it seems like an endless maze that you just won't make it through, and other times you twiddle your thumbs looking and hoping for something to do. Sleep for a few hours, never getting enough, going to class, spending an evening at work, practice or on occasion out with some friends, and studying into the night, and then crashing for those few precious moments, before repeating the whole process again. fWilkes was leading to a be in comin1 - we make f attend partic and lose, a about to embark into the real wo Our first taste of Wilkes is F1 days you spend in the summer that it isn't a total shock when ye Exploring campus, registering ) and starting to make new frien with down the road .

If this was really ~e, quizzes, tests, final exams, its you take on each semester. f Wilkes was only about classes and majors leading to a degree, what point would there be in coming here? Wilkes is so much more - we make friendships with our classmates, attend parties, watch our sport teams win and lose, and find ourselves as we are about to embark into the real world. Our first taste of Wilkes is Freshman Orientation, those few days you spend in the summer learning about the campus so that it isn't a total shock when you arrive for your first semester. Exploring campus, registering your first 15 (or more) credits, and starting to make new friends you will hopefully graduate with down the road. And of course we can all remember our first day of class, a lowly freshman in a world unlike any other. But all of that soon changes when we realize we aren't alone, and not everybody is out to get us. Living on campus, the first battle you come upon is your new roommate, and of course the people you share your bathroom with. Some step up to make a schedule, only to realize in college life that even classes don't always run perfectly on schedule. Those first few weeks we suddenly realize the newness of it all has begun to wear off, and college life as we have come to know it sets in. . \ I ~~:-~ ."'~- · ~.... ~ _· Above: Rifkin Hall, acquired by Wilkes in 1989, completed the row of residence halls along River Street.

On Saturday, March 2, 2002 a group of 7 students and 2 staff advisors left Wilkes Barre for Alexandria, LA. The Alternative Spring Break crew members spent a week there working with Habitat for Humanity's College Challenge. They volunteered at two work sites. At the first site, they painted walls of a brand new, made from scratch home. While in Alexandria, they were hosted by the First United Methodist Church; Billie and Wayne Malone (members of the church) "adopted" the group, arranging dinner each night and making them feel welcome in the south. At the end of their work week, the crew drove to nearby New Orleans for a day of sight-seeing and fun. The 24-hour drive brought them home to Wilkes Barre Sunday, March 10th. 30 Clubs PLAYER GP 7 Ken Huntington 10 Russ Silcox 13 Ryan Maisano 17 Eric Wolfe 19 BJ Kosich 23 Nick Romanowski 27 Rob Hersker 29 Steve Hulme 30 Mike Burke 4 7 Nick Meadow 83 Nathan Cook 97 Dave Peer 15 15 9 3 15 3 15 8 15 15 10 15 PLAYER GP 30 Mike Burke 15 �er oc Building on their momentum from 1999-2000, Wilkes Roller Hockey made national waves last year with a run ending in Upland, California at the Collegiate Roller Hockey League National Championship Tournament, where Wilkes was ousted by eventual champion Eastern Michigan Cniversity in the Elite Eight, 5-2. The graduation of Chris Jarzyk and Jason Waterbury and loss of Eric Bonacci left some big shoes to fill, but Wilkes still retains most of their nucleus. The veteran talent of Captain Dave Peer and Rob Hersker around an incredible pool of underclass talent promised even greater accolades and accomplishments for the team in 2001-2002, as the Colonels looked to build on lheir #7 national ranking in Division II. Wilkes remained competitive throughout the 2001-2002 season, but unfortunately had a poor howing in the regional playoffs and ended its season in 6th place in their conference. They will look to rebound in the 2002-2003 season and regain their national ranking.

Besides the typical dorm , Wilkes also offers on-campus apartments and mansion style dorming. The only typical dorm on-campus is a co-ed dorm style building, Evans Hall, which is co-ed by suites. The next type of housing on campus is the mansion style housing. The mansions that are on our campus were donated to Wilkes University by the wealthy families that lived around our university. Instead of tearing them down and building a more Above: The main entrance to Evans Hall on the corner of modem and typical dorm styled No rth ampton and South River Streets.

There are currently twelve mansions on campus which are single sex dorms. There is one co-ed mansion on campus , Barre Hall which is co-ed by floor. Ross Hall is our multicultural dorm on campus and most of the residents are members of the Multicultural Society. The last style of housing a student can get is an on-campus apartment. There are ten on-campus apartments. Two of which are co-ed by apartment, Fortinsky Hall and Rifkin Hall. All the rest of the apartments are on South River Street.

Besides fun, their is the academic side of dorming. Rarely can you walk through a dorm, especially Evans Hall, without seeing a group of students studying in the lounge together. Dorm life has allowed students to get help with their work and to study together. Whether it's hanging out in the dorms and eating pizza or studying with a group of kids in your class, dorm life allows students to live together as a "family" unit.

If you're like me, it's difficult to leave Wilkes because it is such a special place. And yet it is time to move on to new things. When I graduated from college, I wondered, "How will this work out for me?" It was a scary time, venturing off into the unknown. The life I'd known at college - the life that I thought was so wonderful -- was suddenly over. I found that it was important to think about that time as a beginning instead of an ending. Though times are tough economically, I urge all of you to see this as a time of great opportunity to think about what your passions are and pursue them. I am doing that myself as I retire. While you were at Wilkes, you might have found a new direction and succeeded at things you never thought possible before you came to the University. Now it's time to celebrate your accomplishments , .,, such as earning a degree, an acceptance to graduate school or landing #first job in your chosen field. It's also important to spend some time appreciating the relationships you've formed with faculty and with your fellow students. _,- · I'm doing much the same thing as I begin the next phase of my life. The accomplishments I'm celebrating are ones I've helped to make happen while leading this University. The most visible one is the new science building that will offer great new facilities for students and faculty. During my time at Wilkes, we've also earned honors, such as the grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and grants to our facuity from prestigious organizations like the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. There have been additions to our academic programs - such as the Sidhu School of Business and Leadership, four master's degree programs and , two doctoral degrees. We even showed that we could muster an Army of Colonels when the community needed it after the September 2011 floods. For me, there is so much to celebrate and be thankful for - just as there is for all of you. -,-.:·"' As I retire as president, it's time for me to decide what I'll be doing in the next phase of my life. I want to continue my professional involvement as a consultant and perhaps write a book. But I also remind myself of something that I want to share with you: be comfortable with uncertainty. Even as you contemplate the future and make plans for the next chapter in your life, it's important to keep your heart open to possibilities that haven't yet presented themselves. Experience has taught me that those unforeseen challenges can offer some of the greatest opportunities of our lives. Good luck to each and every one of you.

You may have thought this was peculiar, right? Well, this is completely normal in parts of India during this time of year, because they were celebrating Holi. Every year, Hindus celebrate the festival of Holi, best known in the West as The Festival of Colors. Like most events in the Hindu calendar, this festival has many purposes, both religious and social. It is by far the least religious holiday, but still one of the most exhilarating celebrations. Holi celebrates the arrival of spring, originally to commemorate the abundant harvests from the fertile land. 1n modern times, Holi has become a tradition to just celebrate during the onset of spring. Although its social significance has been altered over time, its religious purpose remains intact-it honors events present in Hindu mythology. The days looming to Holi are buzzing with excitement and joy. The event takes place over a period of two days; on the first day, which is Holi, participants hold a bonfire (Holi means fire) to honor the death of a demon in Hindu mythology, and on the following day, known as Dhuletti {dhoo-let-tea), colored powder is thrown at each other to celebrate spring. ��on the Greenway .

It originally started out as a family sport. But racing was found within his blood passed down from his father. Skiing only became serious when he left baseball at Wilkes in 2011, to pursue competition. For years Jon would only ski four to six times a year as a hobby. In the last two years though this increased substantially to four to six times per week! A benefit of this was the opportunity to travel. Some of the farthest slopes were Salt Lake • City, Utah; Copper, Colorado; Killington, VT; and Okemo, VT. Jon's favorite slope is Solitude in Salt Lake City. No wonder, it's one of his favorites, it's ranked #3 for Best Powder and has an annual snowfall .of 500 inches. With over 2,500 acres to j}{i on and 64+ runs it has ample opportuniti~s for long days on the slopes. Skiing is not,a .sport that is easy to fund. He easily spends thousands of dollars to cover equipment. gas, entry and organizational fees, and travel per year. That's why Drebitko applied at Sno Mountain to become one of their ski instructors and pace setters. According to Professional Ski ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Instructors of America (PSIA) he is ranked level I out of 3. With more training and experience he will move qHickly through the ranks. Working at Sno Mountain has its advantages, it allows him to ski for free and receive pro forum discounts from certain retailers. In his free time Jon loves to still play baseball and swing a bat. He also ..,... enjoys taking his dog for walks on the mountain and of course watching skiing whenever it's on TV. John Teller is Jon's favorite ski cross racer but his all-time favorites are Bode Miller (pictured) and Lindsey Vonn all of who compete on the US team. Drebitko knows the true definition when it comes to speed. He's been clocked between 6 5 to 7 5 mph during a ski cross race on some of the international courses. Normally the speed reached depends on the type and/ or discipline of the race. Jon had the chance to qualify for the USASA Nationals Competition; which was hosted in April 2012 at slopes in Copper Colorado. At Nationals he met competitors and coaches who shared the same skiing passion and were willing to exchange ideas on techniques. For most of the year Jon found himself ranked at #1 for the From: http://lazyspleen.blogspot.com. USASA for most of year and therefore entered Nationals at 3rd. He 012/ 11/randomville-10-peoplcended the season crossing the finish at 6th after crashing in his second 1-bet-you-didnt.html heat.

In the end, Wilkes conquered 25 hot dogs in under 5 minutes and were crowned the champions. Maniak Franiak's technique was to "dip and shove".

I will admit that J,was unsure of how you would perform this year as an editor. However, you ended up becoming the right-hand-man and friend that I really needed. You always supported me one hundred percent and for that I cannot thank you enough. /' To Melanie Nolt: Mel, you took on so many roles this year. You put yourself in charge of not only all of the copy in this book, but also tl1e budget, as well as personally contacting anybody that CO}lld possibly help·us make this book better. On top of all of this, you came up witfi p~rsonally engineered special projects that had never been done the yearbook before. It is this creativity, passion, and drive that you not only displayed yourself but inspired in myself and the rest of the staff that made this book possible. To everybody else that helped with this book: Cora, Jasmine, Nipa, and Bobby you all brought so many ideas and talents to the table this year. It is all of your creativity and hard work that made this book possible. Thank you all so much for sticking with me and the yearbook this entire year.

Jones' visit was organized by the Allan P. Kirby Center for Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship. With a full day of activities, Jones spoke with students at an Honors Q&A panel which was open to honors program students, Kirby scholars and students in certain business classes. After the panel, Jones attended a dinner and then closed out his night with his lecture, "On Innovation: Powerful Ideas to Create a More Innovative Organization: Executive Director of the Allan P. Kirby Center, Chuck Pierce commented on the visit. "It was really engaging, especially from the student aspect. It was a long time coming. It was something we had to reschedule over and over through COVID. A lot of hours went into it but it was very rewarding. This is something we try to do twice a year. Finding someone like Terry Jones who has name recognition, maybe not his name but the companies that he started, is really relevant:' At the Q&A Jones took questions from students, covering topics ranging from his books, "On Innovation' and "Disruption Off: partnerships between companies, how to adapt and move past failure, how to raise capital and the challenges of it and his creative process for generating ideas. By Morgan Rich Staff Writer In response to a question about failure, Jones said, "You have to look at failure as an open door. Look at Silicon Valley. We look for people who have failed, because they may have a better attitude, they may not be so passionate about things and not waste money, tltere could be a lot of things that they learn. long as you learn from failure, map.y of you are on the cross country team or on a sports team, why is it that after a race that you dont win that you go back and t to figure out everything you did wrong?

The Earthshot Prize is the most distinguished global environmental prize in history and aims to help repair and bring change to the planet. The prize was started by the Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in 2020. The Royal Foundation will run the Earthshot Prize until the end of 2021. According to the Earthshot Prize website, inspiration for the prize was taken from President John F. Kennedy's Moonshot, which was when he challenged the nation to land a man on the moon and claim a leadership role in space exploration by the end of the 1960s. The Earthshot Prize is centered around five different "Earthshots:' which is supported by UN Sustainable Development Goals and other internationally recognized measures. Together they form a unique set of challenges that are rooted in science and aimed to produce new and different ways of thinking, technologies, solutions, systems, as well as policies.

It started in traditional fashion with a call to order and roll being taken. Next was the approval of minutes and the treasurer,s report. The treasurer's report stated that there is a total of $42,713 across all SG accounts. The first order of business was a request from the Air Force ROTC about a club trip. It was given by Shawn Cottee. The request was for $1,800 to go toward a trip to Paintball Asylum to gain field training that they believe will be beneficial to the cadets. Many of the cadets have no experience in field combat and the trip would relieve financial burdens on the families and give a chance for cadets to gain valuable experience. The decision is to be made at next week's meeting. The second order of business was a presentation of the Table Tennis Chili, for a review of their constitution and asking to be activated as a club on campus. As presented by the president, first year chemistry student Saurabh Patel, the club would present the opportunity for a new intramural on campus for students. The club has asked for $300 in order to afford table tennis racquets and balls. Without much promotion, the club already has heard back with interest from at least 11 students. The club is to be supervised by Megan Boone Valkenburg. The third order of business was a presentation from Zach Niemiec, a P3 pharmacy student, about the review of the constitution and reactivation of the Ski and Snowboard Club. It was last active in 2019. The club hopes to visit ski resorts in the greater Northeastern Pennsylvania region for students who have a desire to ski and snowboard. The club, with limited promotion, has seen interest from at least 58 students. With a full e-board, the club looks to add ,.members that want to have fun while skiing d snowboarding together. The club and constitution will be voted on next week The fourth order of business was a presentation from Olivia Schanbacher, a junior musical theater major, about the review of the constitution and activation of the Tap Club.

Phillips, a co-recipient of the 1997 Nobel Prize in physics, was welcomed to Wilkes on Oct. 20 for a presentation on modern science. The chemistry department hosts the Catherine H. Bone lecture in chemistry series on a regular basis, hosting notable guests. This series of lectures has been made possible by the previous work of Catherine H. Bone, a former professor of chemistry at Wilkes. The most recent speaker was a Nobel Prize winner who has garnered and earned several other achievements in his field. Phillips was born in Wilkes-Barre and spent his early childhood in Kingston before his family moved out of the area. He attended Juniata College where he earned his bachelor's degree, followed by a doctorate of philosophy in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has since worked for the National Institute of Standards and Technology as well as serving as a professor of physics at the University of Maryland. Phillips started the lecture by introducing himself, as well as some colleagues that he worked closely with in the past. This introduction was brief, and he explained the many entertaining concepts that he could cover in the field relating to his topic, "Time, Einstein and the Coolest Stuff in the Universe:' Phillips emphasized that he wanted the audience to have fun, and that rather than covering several topics that would take up an hour each, he would instead explain the theory of special relativity and the discovery that time and space were not constant. The lecture that was given kept the audience engaged, with several pieces of humor and interesting stories. In the lecture, Phillips explained the concept of time and the speed of light to explain GPS, and how GPS worked, including how the distance from satellites allows us to know where we are on the face of the earth. "People use GPS for everything, such as to figure out how far they are from home;' said Phillips. "When we drove here, to this lovely bed and breakfast last night, the GPS guided us right to the front door. So everybody uses this all the time. I think that sometimes, people wouldn't know how to find their local grocery store if they didn't have GPS. But, the point is, that time is important for your daily lives:' Later in the presentation, Phillips talked about his team's work in using a laser and a magnetic field to decelerate and cool an atomic beam. "The coldest thing you've ever seen is liquid nitrogen;' Phillips said. "It boils when it hits the ground. It turns rubber bands into dry twigs. It's 77 degrees above absolute zero. We're supposed to get within 240 millionths of a degree above absolute zero:' To prove his point, Phillips walked around with a bottle of liquid nitrogen and poured experiments that Phillips was able to use to show discoveries his team had made within their experiments. The audience was treated to many demonstrations, which kept them engaged and interested in the material. One demonstration showed how cold liquid nitrogen was in comparison to the room. Phillips put a container of liquid nitrogen under a small plastic trash can, then telling the audience they would get back to the experiment later. The audience did get The Beacon/ Genny Frederick Dr. Wllllam D. Phllllps brings the experiment to the audience as he poures llquld nitrogen around Stark 101. it all around the Stark to 1 lecture hall, to show how it was so cold that it boiled when it touched the ground. He went on to explain the experiment that led his team to the discovery that would earn them the Nobel Prize. "The temperatures we could get were really tremendously lower than we had predicted;' said Phillips. "We got the temperature down to seven-tenths of a millionth of a degree of absolute zero:' The presentation highlighted several back to it later, when the pressure created an explosion that made the trash can fly in the air, while Phillips was in the middle of explaining something else. After the lecture, Phillips fielded questions from the audience for more than 30 minutes. Students who came to see the lecture were interested in the topics, no matter the discipline or age they were. Phillips mentioned in his presentation that it was the first time he spoke to a live audience since the pandemic. Student reception was positive. "The presentation had stuff that kids could understand, but not enough to bore a physics minor;' said Ashlynn Allison, senior mechanical engineering major with a minor in physics. Allison noted Matthew Schwarztrauber, a Pl pharmacy student and chemistry minor, who also attended the lecture with her felt that the mix of chemistry and physics was beneficial. "It was really entertaining to sit here because Matthew does chemistry, I do physics, so he understood one thing, then I understood the next thing, and it went back and forth, and back and forth;' said Allison. Michael Nowak, a sophomore electrical engineer, explained how the surprises and demonstrations made the presentation interactive and engaging. "You can pay attention better. You can understand what he's talking about;' said Nowak. "Sometimes professors talk and they just like to go through notes. When he does interactive stuff, you can see it happening as he's talking about it." Schwarztrauber also noted the new learning opportunities featured in the lecture. "You can see that there's a lot of intersection between a lot of science disciplines;' said Schwartztrauber. Dr. Donald Mencer, professor in the chemistry department, was glad to have Philips at Wilkes. He felt it was an honor to have an internationally recognized scientist accept the invitation to deliver the lecture. "Dr. Phillips is well known for his contributions to laser cooling, a technique to slow the movement of gaseous atoms in order to better study them;' said Mencer. "His work, along with that of Steven Chu and Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, has been important in the advancement in the area of low temperature physics:' Mencer was also satisfied with how, aside from giving the lecture, Phillips sat down to have lunch with students and staff during his visit to campus. ''.All of the students I spoke to about the lunch meeting spoke highly of the event and mentioned how comfortable Dr. Phillips was able to make them feel;' said Mencer. "He is very approachable:' For more information on Wilkes's various lecture series, visit www.wilkes.edu/ signature-events. @wilkesbeacon Jakobe.Maskulyak@wilkes.edu �_J The Beacon - October 27, 2021 - TERRY JONES, from front He encouraged students to be curious and expose themselves to ideas from different creatives and fields and to take those ideas from others and apply them to the areas of study students are working in. Pierce commented on the impact of Jones's responses during the Q&A. "Mr. Jones was very gracious to sit with honors students, Kirby scholars and some students from our classes and brought a lot of their questions down to the student level to show them that everyone can be an entrepreneur. He said it does not matter what curriculum you're in, what area of study it is, it is about persistence and bringing that idea forward and into reality;' said Pierce. For his lecture, Jones spoke to an audience in the Darte Center as well as to an online audience via Zoom. As his lecture began, Jones told the story of a limousine ride where the driver of the limo was the owner of the limousine business. The owner asked Jones to review his website and Jones told him that he should create a new one that experiments with elements he was lacking, like pricing and booking. "I said, 'how old are you?' he said, Tm 55' I said, 'that's too bad because if you don't change I don't think you'll make it to retirement;' Jones continued, "This was just at the beginning of Uber. He didn't want to change and unfortunately, a few years later I 4 News got a notice that he went bankrupt. He went bankrupt because he couldn't change:' Jones used this anecdote to talk about innovation and its importance. During his lecture, he again talked about culture and team serving as the two biggest components of innovation and change. He talked about the need to build a culture that promotes failure as a learning experience. In addition to that, he talked about his recruiter who, when recruiting, would ask new hires who the smartest person they knew was and then go and try to recruit that person. He also expanded on his earlier comments on the generation of ideas and innovation. "Today I think innovation can come from anywhere in the organizational chart, because everyone has access to information. The best ideas I've seen over and over again come from the bottom of the organization, the customer service rep, the salesperson, the person on the line making the product:' He went on to explain that innovation that comes from the top-down is orderly but The Beacon/ Sean Schmoyer Kirby Scholars from the center attended Jones's lecture at the Darte Center. dumb, and innovation that comes from the bottom-up is chaotic but smart. The biggest obstacle he explained is something called the Bozone layer. The Bozone layer, as Jones describes it, is middle management stopping good ideas from moving up. Jones explains that when employees are not rewarded for change, the Bozone layer starts to kick in and kills innovation from the bottom up. Jones concluded his lecture with another round of Q&A, this time from a larger audience. He gave more advice to both students and community members, some of who were in the process of starting their own businesses. John Pezzolanti, a senior engineering management major and Kirby scholar of project management, client outreach and engineering said, "It was a great opportunity to help plan the Kirby lecture along with the rest of the Kirby scholars and Wilkes administration. It was also a great honor to be chosen to give the introductory remarks. I learned how to deal with failure with projects and what investors look for when choosing investments. It was a great experience talking with Mr. Jones. It was inspiring to hear about how to move past failures and hearing all his experiences:' ' @wilkesbeacon Sean.Schmoyer@wilkes.edu Creative Writing Office offers ((Writing our" every Thursday By Maddy Kinard Staff Writer Every Thursday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the creative writing graduate office, located in Cox Hall, is offering a "Writing Hour" in which any student, faculty or staff can utilize this quiet space in order to accomplish work. When writing, many find that they need a change of scenery or a change of company. Cox Hall is seeking to be this space to respark motivation and inspiration for writers on campus by offering that change of pace that may be necessary for accomplishing tasks. David Hicks, director of creative writing, finds this sentiment to be true as he has noticed it in his own life. "The common perception of writers is that we're all a bunch of loners, but while there's some truth to that (we tend to be introverts), in reality we thrive in community;' said Hicks. Inspiration for the writing hour also stems from the writing community on campus, which is a bit of a secret as Hicks alludes to. "Over a dozen of our staff and faculty members have graduated from our Creative Writing graduate program, and judging from our literary magazine, Manuscript, we have some excellent writers in our undergraduate student populations as well;' said Hicks. "What they all have in common is that they wish they were writing more often. So, we have this beautiful mansion as our office space, with several quiet roomswhy not turn them into writing spaces?" Students present on the first "Writing Hour" this past Thursday anticipate returning to the space as they found they were able to get work done while present. "It's nice to have a captive audience. So if you can get other people to come with e eacon m1 y Farnell! and Martinez get creative during the "Writing Hours". you, it's fun:' said Darren Martinez, senior English major. Senior English major Fenn Farnelli also agrees with the positive response for a space to do work outside of the usual dorm. "It's pretty neat;' said Farnelli. "This hits the vibe for places I like to be to do work: empty, quiet:' The creative writing office would also like to expand time spent in the lounge and two other available conference rooms to Tuesdays club hours as well. Outside of Thursday's "Writing Hour;' Cox Hall also offers other spaces so long as students honor it as a quiet space for writing. One of the aforementioned conference rooms, located right inside the front door, is available every day of the week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. No appointment is required and is free for use so long as the space is not being used as a classroom. While working, Cox Hall also offers free coffee, tea and snacks for anyone who is visiting. "Just step into our kitchen and help yourself;' said Hicks.

It was the fourth time this event was held and six speakers, along with the keynote speaker, spent the day presenting topics ranging from the experience of Black men to the biases oflanguage and privilege. The first session was held by the keynote speaker of the day given by Dr. Cassandra St. Vill. Vill works out of her home in Maryland and is currently a high school teacher and professor of social sciences. Her work has led her across the world and with her five degrees has been at the forefront of seeking progression for black people. Vill gave her speech over Zoom and started with a tour of her home. She showed the room she was in, and what everything in that room said about her. She had stuffed animals that represent her emotions and the importance of having all of them. One stuffed animal included Sadness from the animated movie «Inside Out:' As Vill moved the camera, the upper part of her wall showed pictures and quotes from famous activists in history. One she highlighted was from Malcom X, the quote from him being, «The future belongs to those who prepare for it today." Vtll used this to seque into the main idea of her speech, something she repeated throughout much of her presentation. «Don't put flowers on my tombstone, help me plant the garden today;' was the theme of the session. Vill explained the quote in reference to world leaders. She said they don't need anymore people to admire them, and instead they need people to fight with them and support them. Vill continued and integrated this explanation into the Q&A portion. Instead of answering the questions given to her, she had students answer their own questions to show that they have just as many answers to problems as she does. Vill would give her ideas in response to the questions, but the point of her method was to highlight the power students have. The method of question answering was seen as eye-opening for those who attended, as people from all different backgrounds were giving answers to the problems of today. Students were then given the choice of two different sessions. One session was «The Black Male Experience" given by Wilkes alumnus Woodly M. Augustin. The presentation gave Black students a chance to share their experiences together, some of which were hard to speak about, and explain how those experiences that they go through are different than counterparts of different races. The presentation opened with a vi eo that students felt was powerful. In th Video, a man was jogging 2.3 miles and decided to wear a ~ Dr. Mia Briceno gave a presentation on bias and prlvledge during the Diversity and lncluslon Conference. mask for the whole trip instead of the first mile like he normally would. He said it was still running, but running at a disadvantage, or running while knowing one would have to work twice as hard. The man told the story of Ahmaud Arbery. Arbery was a 25-year old Georgian man who was shot and killed by three white men who pursued him while he was jogging. The comparison was made that being a black man in America is like jogging with a mask, which makes everything much harder. Augustin then talked about what colorism has done to Black society, explaining that the arguments that colorism creates inhibits Black people from fighting for their justice when they are fighting within their own communities. Augistin ended the presentation with the importance of mental health and having a hold on it. It is a stigma in the Black community to not get therapy and instead deal with problems independently. Black men also have the secondary stigma as many men have a stigma against therapy and mental health. To anyone dealing with issues such as these or any on campus at all, students can visit the Health and Wellness Center to talk to therapists that are on campus. The last session was a~out privilege and was given by Dr. Mia Briceno, an associate professor of communication studies at Wilkes. The presentation began with an activity, where each member of the audience took a bag and walked around the room to the papers on the wall that had different phrases about privilege in the country. Each paper had seven phrases and for every phrase that applied students would put a candy in their bag. Once the activity was over, everyone had pieces of candy. While some students had more pieces, all had the same general number. Briceno used this as a metaphor to highlight that everyone has privilege in some way. After this activity, many people in the audience shared their experiences of biases. This activity and the following discussion showed that everyone has different privileges compared to others, but understanding what that difference in privilege is, is necessary. Learning and understanding privilege is a tool for growth. Erica Acosta, director of Diversity Initiatives, said, "The Fourth Annual Diversity & Inclusion Student conference is an opportunity for students to engage in conversation about diversity and social justice topics.The conference is also an opportunity for our students to network with other students from other universities/colleges:' She continued, "The theme was 'Education is Key' because I feel education is important. It's important because education can open doors for our students in marginalized communities. @wilkesbeacon Zachary.Paraway@wilkes.edu The Beacon/ Emily Cherkaukas Woodly M.

Powell, former United States secretary of state, died on Oct 18. His family reported on Facebook that his death was the result of complications from COVID-19. Powell also had multiple myeloma and Parkinson's disease and his immunocompromised health put him at greater risk once contracting COVID. He was 84 when he died. Powell was born in 1937 and was raised in the South Bronx. He attended college at the City College of New York. During his time in college, he was also a member of ROTC and, upon graduation, received both a bachelor's degree in geology as well as a commission as an Army second lieutenant. He served two tours in Vietnam and, during the second tour, earned the Soldier's Medal for bravery after surviving and then rescuing three others from a helicopter crash. Powell returned to the United States and had his first position working with a president when President Richard Nixon appointed him a White House Fellowship. Powell then traveled to Germany to command the V Corps in Frankfurt, Germany. It was here that Lt. Col. Mark Kaster, professor of earth and environmental science and veteran's counselor, met Powell during a briefing. When asked about his experience serving under Powell, Kaster said, "He was a soldier's soldier. Powell looked out for his troops. They're the priority. When you're a commander, you want to make sure your people are taken care 0£ And when they're taken care of, they'll go the extra distance, the extra mile. They'll do those things that by themselves, they would think are impossible, but with good leadership, you can take the hill:' During Ronald Reagan's presidency, Powell was the National Security Advisor. Notably, he took part in negotiations with Mikhail Gorbachev over arms treaties. During the presidency of George H. W Bush, Powell was appointed a four-star general, serving as commander in chief of Forces Command He served in this position only briefly as he was appointed as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff by Bush. Powell was the youngest officer and first African American to have this position. f During Powell's time as chairman that the U.S. was involved in conflicts such as the invasion of Panama and Operation Desert Storm. Dr. Andrew Miller, associate professor of political science, remarked on Powell's work in foreign and military policy. "The most important contribution of Colin Powell was his formulation of the Powell Doctrine, which argued that before any military action is taken, there should be clear foreign policy goals, o helming strike capability and public support;' said Miller. After spending much time in politics, many thoughthew9uldputinabidforthepresidency. However; Powell explained his distaste for politics pfevented him from running. Instead, he was appointed as Secretary of State under George W. Bush and held the position as the first Black secretary of state. The biggest stain on his record came during his time as Secretary of State when he claimed that there was proof that Iraq was holding weapons of mass destruction. In a United Nations meeting in 2003, Powell cited Iraqi defectors as proof that weapons of mass destruction were being created and stored by Saddam Hussein. Senate reports and other investigations found that this speech was composed of false information created to gain international support for an invasion of Iraq. In 2004 he testified before the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee reporting that these weapons were not likely to be found. While Colin Powell's life included much military and political work, his legacy lives on outside these areas. One of which is the Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership at the City College of New York. The school houses the social science departments, leadership development and public service programs. The school mourns the loss of Powell, and in an online statement, told how he would never miss a graduation and would "show up early to meetings on campus so that he could stand in front of Shepard Hall and meet students as they walked by. Heu hear their stories and tell them his own:' Powell's long career can be seen as one of service to the country and its people. "We lost a national treasure:' said Kaster. @wilkesbeacon Graphic by Jack Malatesta CCDI holds virtual career, grad school and internship fair By AJ S ff W,Rubino . ta nter Wilkes University Center for Career Development and Internships hosted its annual Career, Grad School and Internship Fair on Oct. 21.

"Next time we will make sure to send links out a few days prior to the event and explain thoroughly on what the link is for;' said Sharon Castano, director of internships and parent programs. "Of course, it is much more pleasant to talk with someone face to face, but we just have to do our best for now. I am hoping for a hybrid style fair next semester;' said Castano.

If your dog is uncooperative with costumes, this simple treat recipe will allow your pup to enjoy the Halloween season regardless. Ingredients: 2 apples 1/2 cup of peanut butter 2 tbsp coconut oil Pretzel sticks Mini dog treats Directions: First, clean your apples. In order to make the mini apple bites, you can use a cookie dough scooper, melon baller or spoon. Use your tool to carefully cut out the bite-sized pieces. Be careful to not cut too deep into the apple and gently cut to avoid too much apple juice leaking out. Rinse the apple bites to wash away the juice. As they are drying, you can move on to the next step. Combine the peanut butter and coconut oil in a small cup, deep enough to dip the apples in. Heat them in the microwave for up to 30 seconds to let the coconut oil melt. Mix together until homogenous. Take the pretzel sticks and stick them into the apples. Let the skin of the apple act as the bottom of the bite so stick the pretzel into the apple's flesh. Holding on the pretzel stick, dip the apples into the peanut butter and let the excess drip off. You might have to give the apples a gentle shake to get some of the excess away. Due to the number of apple bites and their sizes you can simply place them on a plate to let them harden. Once nothing is dripping, place them. You can also stick small dog treats onto the apples. You might have to use some of the peanut butter to act as an adhesive. Refrigerate the apple bites until they are fully cooled and hardened. Notes: I recommend using gala apples for their sweetness but it can depend on what your dog prefers.

Wrap the yarn around the center of the spool, pull It off the hand, and double knot It around the middle. Readjust to form a pumpkin shape. Step 2: Thread the pipe cleaner through the mlddle loop under the knot and wrap It around Itself. Bend It to form a stem shape. Cut the excess yarn from the knot and the end of the spool. Step 3: Continue making the pumpkins repeating the previous steps untll there are enough to fill the garland. Step 4: Thread the twine through the middle knot underneath the pipe cleaner. Continue this for each of the pumpkins. , Halloween is almost here, and that means it is a perfect time for one more spooky DIY decoration. This pumpkin yarn garland is easy to do and is perfect for a last-minute party decoration that is sure to amaze your Halloween party guests. · The required supplie r the pumpkin yarn garland are orange yarn, green pipe cleaners, twine an~ scissors. There are not many supplies or any expensiv · ones, which makes this craft affordable, costing less t4an $10. These supplies can be found at any craft store, such as Joann Fabrics, Michaels or Amazon. The first step is making the pumpkins out of yarn. Grab the orange yarn and begin to wrap that around four fingers on your hand. Keep your fingers flat and do not wrap the yarn too tight that it moves your fingers. Continue to wrc!1p the yarn about 100 times or until there is a large amount around your fi g rs. Cut the yarn to finish the body of the pumpkin but keep the spool to tie it together. Thread the yarn through the middle and ring fingers from the back of the hand, wrap it around the middle in front and back through the middle and ring fingers to meet the other end in the back. Tie a knot with the two ends of the yarn wrapped around the spool. Once there is a knot at least holding it loosely together, pull the yarn off of the hand and tie this knot tighter. Double knot it as tight as it can be. Cut any excess yarn left from making the knot or any stray pieces. Next, adjust the yarn ball to spread it out so that the two halves meet. This should create a somewhat flattened ball with the yarn that resembles the general oblong shape of a pumpkin. Adjust any stray pieces of yarn to get the desired shape. Now, it is time to make the stem. Grab the green pipe cleaner and cut it into thirds. Thread the pipe cleaner through the middle string, holding the pumpkin together on top by the knot that was made. Fold the pipe cleaner in half around the string and wrap it around itself so that it becomes one stick. Then, bend the pipe cleaner over to create a stem shape. Each stem can be different and unique on each pumpkin. Some can be short, long, have multiple twists, etc. The pumpkin should definitely be apparent at this step. Do any final adjustments to get the desired pumpkin shape. Repeat these steps for the amount of desired pumpkins for the garland. This can be time-consuming and tedious, but it is relaxing, which makes it a nice spooky stress reliever. Once there are enough pumpkins, it is time to make the garland. Grab the twine and thread this through the middle string on each pumpkin underneath where the pipe cleaner is placed. Thread each pumpkin onto the twine and adjust the spacing of the pumpkins as desired. The garland can be short and have the pumpkins close together, or they can be longer with them being more spaced out. Once the pumpkins are all on the garland, cut the excess twine and feel free to display that final spooky touch for Halloween. @wilkesbeacon Elizabeth.Cherinka@wilkes.edu Share your spooky Halloween crafts with us!

Morgan.Rich@wilkes.edu Graphic by Jack Malatesta Viral TikTok dog determines people's days, mental health Learning how to make the most of a "bones day" or "no bones day" By Cassidy Taylor Staff Writer If you have not already heard of Noodle the Pug, you are going to want to get familiar with what a "bones day,, or "no bones day,, is. Head to Jonathan Graziano's account (@jongraz) on the TikTok app and you will see that, every morning, Noodle's owner checks to see if his 13-year-old pug woke up with bones or not and shares the video on TikTok. Graziano picks up Noodle's body and sits him up, and if the pug falls right back over, that means it is a "no bones day;' and if he stays sitting up, that means it is a "bones day:' This silly idea has taken over TikTok, and people are making decisions about their day based on what Noodle does in these videos. A ~'no bones day,, ~enerally consists_ of relaxmg, self-care, kindness and bemg comfortable. A "bones day,, is about productivity, going out and t~ating yourself. Here are some ideas 9f what to do on each type of day. Since a "no bones day,, is meant for relaxing d self-care, they are the best for staying tn comfortable clothes, being at home and filling your own cup. "No bones days,, are suitable to make your state of well-being the top priority. You can do simple things like light your favorite candle, drink lots of water, catch up on your favorite TV show or take a nap. If you would like to take your "no bones day,, one step further, you can do some true meditation and self-reflection. Find a comfortable place to sit where you can have your feet on the floor and your back straight. Having your feet placed firmly on the floor helps to keep you grounded and your back straight helps you to feel powerful and more confident. Then, close your eyes, inhale through your nose for five seconds, hold your breath for three seconds and then exhale through your mouth for seven seconds. Exhaling longer than you inhale can actually help to lower your heart rate, which lowers stress. Spend some time doing this breathing exercise, and once you feel ready, grab a notebook and write down three things you are grateful for, three things you are proud of and three short-term goals you have. You can save those goals and stash them away to go after on the next bones day. Some other great journaling prompts to help you reflect on dur~ng your "no bones,, relaxation are writing a letter to your IO-year-old self, writing a letter to your future self or answering the question: "what does your life look like when you are at your best?" Many people feel that Noodle the Pug and his "bones or no bones day,, predictions have brought a lot of joy to their lives. "I just think it's a fun, cute way to determine the kind of day you'll have, kind of like a daily horoscope, except it's an elderly pug;' said senior psychology major, Alison Gardner.

With Halloween right around the corner, what better time for the boogeyman to terrorize the big screen again? "Halloween Kills" picks up right where "Halloween" (2018) left off. We follow the three Strode women as they let their guard down, believing they killed Michael Meyers in an elaborate trap, only to put their guard right back up again when they realize that Meyers survived. Once the town learns of his return to Haddonfield, they fopn a mob of protestors to ensure " that "evil dies tonight:' What ensues is pure chaos until the very last moment. The film throws a bone to its fans by bringing back some of the characters from the 1978 film. Tommy Doyle, the young boy whom Laurie is babysitting in the original "Halloween" film makes another appearance in the new adaptation. Lindsey Wallace, another young child whose babysitter was killed by Meyers, makes her return to Haddonfield. Lonnie Elam, Nurse Chambers and Sheriff Brackett also join in this film. "Halloween Kills" is laden with the nostalgia that makes fans adore the original films. The film incorporates many flashbacks to the original night of Halloween in 1978. Audiences get an unfamiliar perspective of some of the events from that night and learn more about what makes Meyers tick. There is something to be said about the fact that this series transcends the boundaries of time. We entered the world of Haddonfield, Ill., back in 1978, and we are just as invested in 2021. This is every filmmaker's dream: to have your so evil that his wickedness made the story eternalized across generations residents turn into moral monsters too, mar)s true creative success. but it felt very artificial.

I will the formula that audiences have grown say this: as a standalone film, "Halloween accustomed to, changing it in this way felt Kills" was great. It did everything that unnatural. I needed it to do for me. I was scared; I The one aspect that I feel completely was invested in the plot; I shared in the redeemed the sub-par plot for me was characters' sadness; and I laughed with how brutal Michael Meyers was in this them.

Streaming services are more accessible to independent musicians than ever and social media provides a ready-made platform to grow your esteem. The prototype for this system looked far different, however. Out of this early web of internet subculture and innovation came Yung Lean, Swedish cloud rap pioneer and pillar of internet music subculture. Lean's discography is vast, encompassing ten albums, eight years and countless genre shifts. This prolificity has not come without a cost, for behind the music lies a story of tragedy, drug abuse and finding meaning. Through the following ten songs I will tell this story, giving a chronological introduction to the life and music of one of the most lasting and talented names in alternative hip-hop. acclaimed blend of cloud rap and Houston drill, "Rodeo:' in the year after working with SBE in Sweden. Sound thievery aside, "Ghosttown'' is a demonstration of Lean's ability to shift his sound at will, ignoring the binds of genre and effortlessly providing hits. 4. "Hoover" - "Warlord" Following the success of "Unknown Death 2002:' Lean moved from Stockholm to Miami, Florida. It was in Miami that Lean's lifestyle rather quickly caught up to him. While working on "Warlord;' Lean's numerous drug addictions ended up nearly killing him via an overdose. Immediately following his subsequent hospitalization, Lean's longtime friend and manager Barron them that even during his hospitalization they were all he thought about. The track also features fellow SBE member Bladee, a poprap innovator in his own right. Underneath the cheerful enamourment of "Hennessy & Sailor Moon'' and other tracks off "Frost God;' however, it was becoming more and more evident that Lean had not yet recovered fully from the tragedy of Miami. 6. "Hotel in Mill&'' - "Psychopath Ballads" Briefly escaping 'the Yung Lean title and releasini ':Psychopath Ballads" in summer 2017 under an alteration of his real name (jonatail leandoer96 being the chosen pseudonym), Lean took this EP as a chance to 1. "Lemonade" - "Unknown Death 2002" 2. "Kyoto" - "Kyoto" 3. "Ghosttown" - "Unknown Memory" "Unknown Memory'' is possibly the closest thing to a proper rap album that Lean has ever put out. Seeking a more mainstream sound with his own twist on it, "Ghosttown'' was yet another evolution in form, with Lean dropping his signature aloof delivery in favor of a more pointed flow. "Ghosttown'' - also features a pre-superstardom Travis , S~ott, who would go on to drop a critically 8. ~gony" - "Stranger" Along with honesty comes pain, and ''.Agony" is the perfect embodiment. Quite simply, this song hurts. Lean sings truthfully over a stripped-down instrumental composed mainly of an intentionally out-of-tune piano, with a revitalized lyrical performance unavoidable in its scale and ability. Lean even finds time amongst his nuanced descriptions of mania to fit in a poignant quotable, with "Can't write a song, only do hooks:' Both referencing a common criticism he received in his earlier career and emphasizing his inability to see anything through due to his mental state. This displays a brutal candor that Lean picked up on his journey to stability. 9. "Bender++Girlfriend" - "Poison Ivy" Lean's time in the spotlight began early, first gaining popularity on the internet in 2013 at the age of 17. "Unknown Death 2002" was his first proper introduction as an artist, and it delivered on that front. Produced by fellow Sad Boys Entertainment (SBE) member Sherman and featuring fellow Swede Baba Stiltz, "Lemonade" is a demonstration of Lean's ability to captivate the ear. Recorded in a rudimentary home studio, what it lacks in serious content it makes up for in unreplicable creativity. Released as a single in the months following "Unknown Death 2002:• "Kyoto" was a clear sign that Lean was refining his sound. Enlisting another phenomenally talented SBE producer in Gud, "Kyoto" is to this day Lean's most popular track Finding his confidence in success, Lean buzzes over a synthheavy beat, proclaiming his hatred towards criticism, his love of recreational drugs and his indifference towards fame. "Kyoto's" brief stay as a mainstream hit further popularized Lean, beginning a gradual accumulation of stress and addiction that would plague his career for years to come. Philadelphia while touring "Warlord:' "Red Bottom Sky" was a rejuvenation of Lean's sound, proving he finally was taking himself (and his art) seriously. Machat was killed in a car accident. Upon this tragic chain of events, Lean disappeared into isolation in Sweden, leaving Gud and Sherman to finish "Warlord:' It is haunting to hear this startlingly manic, chaotic record knowing the circumstances that it was created in. Despite this, "Hoover" and "Warlord" as a whole was a driving, invigorating change in direction for Lean, proving that he could develop his sound beyond cloud rap. 5. "Hennessy & Sailor Moon" - "Frost God" Following the events surrounding "Warlord;' Lean remained surprisingly upbeat. Released in late 2016 about 10 months after "Warlord;' "Hennessy & Sailor Moon'' was the lead single for "Frost God:' Delivering a potent ballad over an ethereal beat, Lean reminisces over a lover, reminding be more open and honest. "Hotel in Minsk" is a stellar example of this shift, as Lean waxes poetic about love, loss, and the pain that his mental illness and addiction have caused him over a simplistic piano beat. He seemed to finally be opening up, a trend he would continue to great esteem despite the inherent somber nature of the resulting music. 7. "Red Bottom Sky'' - "Stranger" With his reinventive tendencies in mind, it was clear that "Stranger" was to be Lean's biggest shift in sound yet, beginning with its lead single. "Red Bottom Sky" caused a stir upon its release, with a refreshing sound and a refined focus. Over a gorgeous Gud instrumental, Lean serenades the listener with lamentations of loss, self-introspection, and a reference to an attempted shooting perpetrated on him and his friends in Coming off the cathartic experience that was "Stranger:' Lean sought yet another sound to experiment with. He found his answer in SBE member and producer Whitearmor, who executively produced every song on "Poison Ivy:' This focus allowed for a more detailed delve into a gothic sound that he had touched on before, with the second half of this splittrack especially showing both Whitearmor's ridiculous ability at production and Lean's ability to sound good on any instrumental he chooses. I 0. "Sunset Sunrise" - "Stan" "Starz" gives the listener Lean at his happiest, finally sober and relatively in control of his demons. With the album art being a simple lightly edited picture of himself (borrowing a concept from his jonatan leandoer96 run), the project is authentic to its core. "Sunset Sunrise" is a standout, with a hauntingly beautiful Whitearmor instrumental supporting Lean's use of religious metaphor to signify his departure from his previous chosen subject of worship, recreational drugs. Rapping it up Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Lean's career is that although it spans over eight years and counting, he is still only twenty-five years old. He has the experience and ability of a veteran with the energy and drive of an unproven rookie and is sure to continue to provide some of the most sonically interesting music available. No matter how much the industry shifts around him, Lean will undoubtedly continue to be a trailblazer for years to come.

A clear answer By Zara Lantzman Staff Writer On Oct. 17, Aaron Rodgers trotted into the endzone for a rushing touchdown of six yards at the bottom of the fourth quarter. As Rodgers did his iconic discount double-check celebration, in the stands, Bears fans flipped Rodgers off. Rodgers then retaliated with a quote that will never be forgotten. 'Tve owned you all my f-ing life:' Rodgers said. "I own you. I still own you:' Rodgers has a career record of 22-5, 6,208 yards and 57 touchdowns against the Bears. One of those wins was against the Bears in the 2010 NFC Championship. Rodgers then went on to win the Super Bowl. The Bears and Packers have the oldest rivalry in the NFL. The current record for Packers versus Bears is 102-95-6 with the Packers leading the series. Before the Rodgers era, the all-time record for Packers versus Bears was 80-90-6 with the Bears leading the series. Rodgers completely turned this entire series around with the Bears. Every game for Rodgers against the Bears is special. One of the greatest games he has ever played was on Nov. 9, 2014. The game was known as the "Sunday Night Massacre:' The Packers led the Bears 42-0 at halftime. Halftime. Rodgers threw for 315 yards and 6 touchdowns in one half. That is unheard of. The Packers ended up winning that game with a final score of 55-14. One of my all-time favorite Rodgers versus the Bears moments was a week one opener on Sunday night football on Sept. 10, 2018. A game that can never be forgotten. Rodgers was coming off a season where he was out due to a broken collarbone. With nine minutes left in the second quarter, the Packers were down to the Bears 10-0. Rodgers got sacked by defensive tackle Roy Robertson-Harris and injured his knee he play. Packers backup quarterback Deshone Kizer came in for the injured R~gers and fumbled on his first drive. Kizer's next possession ended in an interception for a touchdown. The Packers were down 17 -0 at halftime. After being carted to the locker room before the half, Rodgers then comes back onto the field, walking on one leg and gets the biggest standing ovation he has ever had. You can see the fear in Bears fan's eyes when he walked in. The Bears' first drive of the half ended in a field goal, and the game looked over after the Bears had a lead of 20-0. That, however, was far from the truth. Rodgers on one leg single-handedly brought the Packers back from the deficit. The Packers only scored a field goal on their first drive but that one score started to give them momentum. At the start of the fourth quarter, Rodgers threw an absolute laser to the back right corner of the end zone to wide receiver Jieronimo Allison for a touchdowrr: " Following the touchdown, on the next Packers drive, they scored again with a touchdown pass for 12 yards to wide receiver Davante Adams. The score was 20-17 with nine minutes left in the game. The Bears got a field goal on their next drive to bring the score to 23-17 with two minutes left in the game. Rodgers and the Packers started their two-minute drill. The first play started off with a dropped interception by Bears cornerback Kyle Fuller. In the very next play, wide receiver Randall Cobb runs across the middle of the field for a slant and takes it 75 yards for a touchdown. That touchdown brought the final score to 24-23 Packers. Aaron Rodgers, on one leg, brought the Packers back from a 20-3 deficit going into the fourth quarter. If that is not owning the Bears, then I do not know what is. Aaron Rodgers owning the Bears is a yearly occurrence as they play twice a year. Rodgers will continue to own the Bears until he retires. A record of 22-5 just says it all. - @wilkesbeacon Zara.Lantzman@wilkes.edu We want to hear your vpice! Join the Opinion sec " · 'n! Let your thoughts be known within the community. · ..

Yet, many education systems still lack sufficient classes in ASL even though it is arguably just as much a necessity as any other language. I wish I could say I have always been an outspoken advocate of ASL as a language requirement or elective in schools, but it began in high school when it was finally offered as an extra-curricular and was not sufficiently taught. Once an individual passes puberty it is statistically harder to develop fluent language skills. However, ASL incorporates a variety of expressional and spatial techniques that can be beneficial at any age. If other languages are learned at different points in life, ASL seems to be no different, if not better to take on now. It is never too late to learn, as my family and I are finally planning on taking classes this coming year. I have a baby cousin who will likely learn and use ASL in the future. While I have always wanted to have a background in ASL, this circumstance feels like the perfect opportunity to become more inclusive and fluent. I was thinking, however, that I wish I could capitalize on the education I am already paying for to fulfill this need. This newfound realization made me ponder, why do more universities and colleges not offer classes in ASL? I remember in my high school years of competing in speech and debate, a competitor and friend of mine had told me she was going to university and majoring in ASL. I can still remember the fascination I had when she told me this and I had yet to ever even take a class or at the least self-learn through YouTube and/or the internet in general. Since then, my subtle research began. The benefits of learning ASL are numerous, whether it were to be offered as a language requirement or elective option at colleges and universities. Inclusivity is typically first and foremost on the minds of those learning it. Wilkes does pride itself in being an inclusive and diverse campus, so expanding disability services to the deaf community and those who wish to support through ASL acquisition seems more than appropriate. To disclaim this notion, I am not aware of the full package of disability services offered to individual students in the deaf community here on campus, but for this article's purposes, I am simply discussing the broader education of ASL to the campus as a whole. In talking about inclusion, ASL also enriches interpersonal relationships. Whether it is through expanding learning to new relationships or practicing better communication with those in the deaf community, it is an all-around win. ASL has also been proven to create longterm cognitive skills, making it a mindstrengthening tool. If you wish to see all the positive outcomes of ASL acquisition just open the internet and watch your similar to how other departments and language courses run. Perhaps a basic course, such as an ASL 101, could lay down all the groundwork, fundamentals and give a solid foundation for greater learning just as with any other language. Then it could expand to higher-level courses. ASL could even become a minor and so on, the educational domino effect continues. I would imagit?{, if this were brought to fruition, m.ost students would choose to take the 101 course only. Usually, when a s dent takes a language class they do not;come out a fluent speaker, but can at least communicate and understand basic phrases such as greetings and common questions. ASL foundational classes would be similar in that a student could likely remember the alphabet or be able time fly by, as there are many. In communication studies, we always discuss how to expand our audiences and develop better skills in expression and personal relations. ASL utilizes this beautifully and allows all majors and students to learn these techniques if it were to be offered. Now, I recognize this would require the university to likely have to hire a new professor and/or maneuver services and language requirements, but this does not seem too unreasonable a request. It has been done in the past for other departments, so why not continue the enrichment? If Wilkes were to offer ASL courses, it feels only appropriate that it be done to properly greet someone in the deaf community after taking the class. This is a win in my book, no matter how small. But would the courses be popular? I imagine making it an optional degree requirement would give it just as much popularity as Spanish, French or philosophy, which are three of the options as of now for those required to take a language course. As I began crafting the idea for this article, many students had reached out to me or said in passing how wonderful it would be to have the option to take an ASL class here at the university level. Adding it to the normal semester course load would take away that financial barrier if it did exist. Many excuses, such as ones I have even made for myself like time or money, would become minute. Danielle Morris, junior digital design and media art major, believes that bringing ASL classes to campus is a great idea. Morris explained that the only program she had offered for ASL was in high school, lasting roughly an hour a week and was not as thorough as she would have liked it to be. "If I had the option, I totally would have taken it as my language requirement. I didn't mind taking a language I was somewhat familiar with from high school, but college is all about trying new things and broadening your horizons;' she stated. "Even if it weren't offered as a requirement option, I think having it as an elective option gives students the opportunity to learn something that is not only out of their comfort zones but also something that they may find themselves using in the future:' A fascinating and important point that Morris brought up was the impact of COVID-19 and mask-wearing on the deaf community. "I would assume it's even more important now that people are able to communicate with ASL because of mask mandates - if someone who relies on ASL can't read lips with masks on, I would imagine it's frustrating to communicate with someone who does not know ASL;' said Morris. Having students who know the basics of communicating ASL and even some hopefully who become fluent would be a win-win for the university. Wilkes provides a broader education curriculum and also becomes more inclusive to current and incoming students. It can even become a great marketing tool for bringing in students who have hearing impairments and practice ASL or even for those who have had similar experiences to those mentioned and want an educational experience in ASL. Considering all the benefits and possible solutions ASL could bring to not just our campus, but all social relationships and communities alike, it feels like it should not be an if, but rather a when we decide to implement ASL instruction.

"I was able to do so by having a strong shot from the top of the circle in our first penalty corner:' The second and third quarters were scoreless for both Wilkes and Kings. The Colonels had three shot attempts to King's 11, but both defenses fought back to keep the ball out of the goal. Penalties were called consistently on both sides of the field as both teams were aggressive on the ball in an attempt to claim the "Barre" title.

"It felt like we were finally finding a rhythm and playing our game;' said Latoski. "Everyone contributed to my goal: the passing, the defense, the mids, and then the forwards made it possible. The communication from Morghan and Ali helped tremendously. It was definitely a team goal:' The second quarter was big for Wilkes as they scored two goals and held the Bulldogs to none. First-year midfielder Kellie Scott assisted Rosenfeld for a goal at the 19 minl\te mark. "We were very excited after beating King's;' said Rosenfeld.

Wilkes swimming returns to the water this year to compete against "real" teams for the first time since the 2019-2020 season. Last year, the teams competed virtually due to the regulations outlined by the Middle Atlantic Conference because of the pandemic. 'Tm really looking forward to in-person meets this year;' said he coach Thomas Limouze. "I am really proud of how the team handled virtual meets- last year, and I know they're looking forward to getting back to normal. Jast night I heard a sophomore say, Tm e:rtited to see a new pool: So it's all of those other parts of.competing in person that I and I think the team are looking forward to: the bus ride, highway scenery, new places, other campuses and other pools:' The restrictions last year made the team compete only at their home pool (the CYC) and upload their times to the MAC where they were then compared to the team they were competing against. "I think the impi!l:t of having in person meets again is that now you are swimming next to another ·mmer head to head which drives you a lot more to go faster;' said junior freestyle/IM Liam White. "With virtual meets, it was just swimming and timing yourself.' Limouze also felt the importance of having opponents to compete against to be crucial to the results of the meet. However, he does not believe that the in-person competition will automatically make the team faster. Senior Fly/IM Trey Harloff will be leading this team as he is the returning record holder for the 200 IM and a part of four relay records (400 and 800 free, 200 and 400 medley). "I am most looking forward to being able to swim under a more normal setting and perform at high-level competitions including MACs and to challenge myself and my teammates the best I can, while enjoying and excelling in my senior year in mechanical engineering;' said Harloff. The men's team is looking to use this season to improve upon their 11th place performance in the virtual MAC championship last season. The women's team is small but mighty this season as they are returning five swimmers. Senior distance/IM Abby Keating is a 5th year pharmacy student who holds seven individual records, junior sprint/ distance Alexa Crossgrove who holds five individual records and senior captain Emilie Detweiler look to lead this team to improve upon their 13th place performance in the virtual MAC Championships last season.

However, the team was able to compete once again in the 2021 season, and has adapted to the training and longer miles of collegiate running. Before 2021, both cross country teams last ran competitive meets throughout Nov. 2019.Nov.2 was the MAC Championship, followed by the ECAC Championship on Nov. 9 and the NCAA Mid East Regional Championship on Nov. 16th. From that point from nearly two years ago, the running Colonels did not see a competitive meet until Sept. 3 of this year, when they participated in the Misericordia Invitational 4K. "It was difficult to get back in the swing of things;' said head coach Nick Wadas. "We had a long layoff from competition. In addition, with the absence of a track and field program, our cross country athletes had very limited competition. It has definitely impacted our team:' After their first meet, the Colonels next ran on Sept. 18 ,once again at Misericordia ,with the 6k Cougar Classic, followed by the Dickinson Long-Short Invitational on Sept. 25. This meet was the DeSales Invitational on Oct. 9, where Wadas saw his team adjust to the longer distances of collegiate cross country. "My favorite meet so far was the DeSales Invitational for various reasons;' said Barlow. "I ran my goal for the 6k, and it was my first 6k of the season. The highs of this meet include getting top 30 overall1 obtaining my goal time of getting a 24-minute 6k and making school history as the 14th fastest women's 6k time:' Not only is this season an adjustment for first-year students, but it is also a new challenge for sophomore runners. Because of cancelled competition last year, 2021 is the first time that both first-years and sophomores have represented Wilkes and raced longer distances, compared to their meets during their high school athletic careers. "Having a real season was challenging, especially when the mileage was tough from starting out;' said Dustin Edsall, sophomore electrical engineering student. "This was my first college athletic season for cross country. It was very different from running in high school due to the increased mileage:' After the DeSales Invitational, the Colonels competed at the Inter-Regional Border Battle on Oct. 16, followed by the LVC Last Chance Run Invitati nal on Oct. 22. "The DeSales invite was a good meet;' said Wadas. "I saw a 15t of good racing. We had a slow start in the race, but it is a learning curve. Most of our team never ran a 6k or 8k and they need to learn that balance between going out hard enough and running smart:' They next compete at the Middle Atlantic Conference Championships at DeSales University on Oct. 30. The runners are looking to train to be able to get a shot at running at the NCAA Regionals. "For the MAC Championship meet, I'm putting in my miles for training and trying to run my best during our workouts;' said Edsall. 'Tm also staying hydrated and mentally preparing to race at DeSales; I'm ready to have another PR:' Wadas hopes to see his runners compete with confidence at MACs in order to potentially put them in a spot to run at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship on Nov. 13 at Dickinson College. This will be the Colonels last meet of the season, finishing a challenging yet successful year after not competing for 657 days. "In terms of MAC: believe in the training and"'have a positive mindset;' said Wadas. "They need to control what they can control. Eat well, hydrate properly, sleep well enough, bring a positive mindset and be persistent:' Graphic by Mia Walker Christopher.Gowarty@wilkes.edu hits rk: also nge )ffiS e of also nor the ated ery No use as a free is help i -J �The Beacon - October 27, 2021 22 Spo~ I The Beac~n: Athlete of the I Favorite building on campus?

The extra point was blocked by the Colonels, and the two teams went into the locker room tied at 20 a piece. It seemed the two teams would go back and forth trading blows all afternoon long in an offensive shootout, but the story was much different in the second half. After Wilkes got a field goal on their opening drive of the half, fhe defense really turned it on and ut down the Flying Dutchman offense. "Going into. halftime, we knew we didn't put everything we had onto the table;' said jun· r linebacker Billy Doron. "We talked to oor coaches, we reflected on ourselves, and we came out in the second half much stronger:' The teams traded punts for much of the second half. It felt like the next team that scored would win. Thankfully for the Colonels, they were able to deliver a final blow to their opposition. With just under four minutes left on the clock, and Wilkes with the ball around midfield, Jules broke for a run down the left sideline after he broke a few tackles, and scored a 49-yard touchdown to put the game out ach.

He was a force to be reckoned with, and was able to deliver the knockout punch to LVC. "I mainly just followed my blocks, and had trust in the play;' said Jules. "I believed the plays we were running were good calls, and I knew we had leverage on the outside, so I just followed the blocks and got to the endzone:' The Wilkes defense was able to keep the Dutchman from putting a comeback effort together. Their secondary was lockdown, while the defensive line pressured Bohannon into making difficult passes. The defense was stout the entire second half, never letting LVC get into a rhythm and score in the second half 'Tm happy to come out with a win, ready to move on to next weekend, and continue to improve on a day to day basis;' said Drach. Wilkes will look to build off this momentum as they fight for a conference championship as they travel to Williamsport on Saturday to face Lycoming in another MAC Freedom contest. The game will start at 1 p.m. as the Colonels look for their seventh win of the season. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

J· I I A History of the College l""J'"10 PROVIDE opportunities for education comparable to those offered J.by other communities of the nation, Bucknell University, in 1933, established a two-year center in Wilkes-Barre and named it Bucknell University Junior College. Prior to that year, Wilkes-Barre and the Wyoming Valley were the largest community in Pennsylvania, if not in the United States, lacking a local college. For several years the Junior College was maintained on an experimental basis while the interest of students in advancing their education and the willingness of citizens to support the new college were determined. By 1938, the response from both groups was known and plans for a permanent college were made. While these plans were under consideration, Bucknell University adopted a policy in relation to the Junior College that significantly affected its development. In 1938, the University promised the College complete autonomy when its foundations were firmly established, but offered to continue its sponsorship as long as this support was of value to the new college. At the same time, the responsibility originally assumed by the Board of Trustees of the University was transferred to a local Board as being more strategically placed to forecast future needs and to integrate the College as a community institution. Und~r this agreement, the Junior College advanced rapidly and by successive steps extended its program to include four years of work. In 1946, the University offered extension courses in Wilkes-Barre enabling students to finish their Junior and Senior years at Wilkes-Barre. At the same ~ime, the College trustees expanded the facilities of the College and established an endowment of more than $500,000. Having satisfied te requ~rements of the State, the Junior College was chartered as Wilkes ollege m June, 1947, and thus gained an independent legal status. World War II deterred the growth of the College for a period of yers, but the impetus to education resulting from war experiences ac~~ ~~te?_i~s development in the years immediately following the cessation conti~tilities. Early ~n the war, from February, 1943, to June, 1944, a th s·gent of 250 Air Crew students was stationed at the College with at eth t ~ College Training Detachment. These cadets were quartered regu: otel Sterling and received training in classes separate from the werear college classes. For several years following the war veterans · as in most colleges. Since September, 1948 ' however they ha ma·Jonty, ~~ ' ' continue to d_en_o_utnumbered by non-veterans, and their numbers will D . unimsh during the next two or three years. unng the years m . which the College offered only two years of study graduate s transf \'ersities· . erre d to more than 100 four-year colleges and uni-' , in two -th.ir ds o f t h ese colleges they made records superior to �WILKES COLLEGE 20 those earned at Bucknell University Junior College. At present, only two classes have been graduated, but a surprising number of graduates have entered graduate and professional schools. Present reports show that more than 37 percent of the graduates are continuing their studies beyond the baccalaureate degree. RECORD OF GROWTH The first classes were held in a rented office building with an enroll· ment of 155 students, and a majority of the faculty were drawn from the staff of Bucknell University. After an experimental three years, the Administration and local Trustees appealed to leading citizens to enable the College to move from rented quarters into a permanent home. The response was prompt and generous. Mrs. John Conyngham and Admiral and Mrs. Harold R. Stark were the first donors, and John N. Coyngham Hall and Chase Hall, given in 1937, were dedicated by President Marts on April 9, 1938. Five hundred residents of the Valley contributed to the funds for adapting these buildings to college use. Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Weckesser added the residence at 78 West Northampton Street to the College property in 1938. In 1941, Mr. Allen Kirby's gift, of the former residence of his par· ents with spacious grounds adjoining those of Chase Hall, provided the College with a real campus and permitted expansion from quarters that were already overcrowded. The new building, named the Kirby Home for Education, was dedicated on December 2, 1941. Members of the Board of Trustees gave the College three additional buildings during 1945 and 1946, which were subsequently named Isaac Barr< Hall, in honor of the English statesman friendly to the cause of the American Revolution, Zebulon Butler Hall in honor of the American 01 patriot, and Gies Hall, named in memory of Paul Gies, former profess of music, who died in 1948. Another adjacent property, Ashley Hall. was deeded to the College in 1946, by the heirs of the Ashley estate, Mrs. Marion A. Ahlborn, Dr. Henry A. Carr, and Roccena Wolfe. thIo 1947, Mr. Andrew J. Sordoni presented the College with the lot at e corner of South Franklin and South Streets, and later in the same yea< a lot on South Franklin Street was purchased as the site of a the construction of which is planned for 1950. . In 1949, three additional properties were acquired. Timothy_ p,~e:,; ing Hall was purchased by the Board of Trustees tn the spnng, ,n of December, Sterling Hall was left to the College through a 1,equ;\.i Colonel Walter C Sterling, and the President's residence was (th< with funds contributed specifically for that purpase by a fnen College. d per· Monetary gifts paralleled these other gifts and purch_as~, :in In t,11e 35 -et mitted the equipping, adaptation, and erection of new buil_dtng~-. 1 eleven years following the promise of autonomy by the Vn1vers ~• gyro"""'""' Pr ° have been increased by more than $2,000,000. \VILKES COLLEGE Rn111fk'd 1933 (Ji.1rlt:'red /!)47 �:,. ::x: t ~ :::: ~ .I) z::.: /. :~ - < General Information �General Information ..; < �GENERAL INFORMATION 23 WILKES COLLEGE 22 CURRICULA The College offers courses leading to degrees in Liberal Arts, Chemistry, Biology, and Commerce and Finance.

It is recommended that students wishing to extend their education beyond the Bachelor's degree take the Graduate Record Examination or another appropriate professional examination in their Senior year. Th~!-ie examinations are generally required by graduate and protessional schools and it is best to take them at the end of the college course. EXPENSES The flat tuition rate adopted by the College enables a student to gain an education in most of the curricula outlined in the bulletin at the rate of $225.00 per semester for tuition, provided the normal load of semester hours as stated in the bulletin for each semester is not exceeded. An additional charge of $15.00 will be made for each semester hour in excess of the normal load.

GUIDANCE CENTER The Guidance Center of the College, which was set up in April, 1945, offers its services to veterans seeking entitlement under the Vocational Rehabilitation Act and "G. I. Bill." A staff of experienced Vocational Counselors and a Testing Department, headed by a clinical psychologist, are on hand .five days a week to !ielp veterans and students explore their backgrounds, capacities, interests, and general qualifications for the purpose of developing or forwarding a vocational plan. CAREERS LIBRARY The Careers Library has taken its place on the campus because the College recognizes its responsibility for helping a student to launch his career with maximum effectiveness. The library is intended to obviate the one great factor in occupational maladjustment of American youth, namely scarcity of information. It is an instrument of the consulting service which is provided not only for Seniors but for all classes in the College. A consultant on careers, maintained by the College, has established and continues to maintain contact with representative industries and professional associations throughout the country. From these primary sources comes first hand information on careers. Thousands of pages culled from this raw material provide background information, and are under constant revision. Individual attention is given the problems and queries of each student as he seeks to set himself in the right vocational direction. One section of the library is devoted to scholarships, fellowships, and company training programs. Another has to do with careers from a geographic point of view. Forty house organs, emp_Ioyee magazines, and professional periodicals are a feature. In the library there are some 600 catalogs and bulletins from more than 500 American colleges and universities, in addition to announcements from foreign institutions of learning, especially at the graduate or professional level. The Careers Consulting Service is not concerned with placement but rather 'th th e way to a career. Long before graduation a student should h Wt ave availed himself of this service. COUNSELING imCounseling at Wilkes College is considered to be one of the most gr!o~ant ways in which we are able to help in the development and ~ion""~ 0.f t?e student. Each student's personal, educational, and vocaas ; 0 ?{cttves are considered at the time of application, so that, insofar reali; ssihle, the academic program can be planned to enable him to e t ese objectives. �STUDENT WELFARE 31 WILKES COLLEGE 30 During the first term the Freshman 1 . . . . which meet once a week 'th c ass is ?1v1ded mto small sections groups discuss informally awn1d ~threprel~enl taftive of the faculty.

Through a program of faculty advisement, each student has a continual opportunity to consult with a member of the faculty for the purpose of discussing scholastic progress and any social or personal problem with which the student needs help. The Deans of Men and Women cooperate with faculty advisers in providing the student with information and guidance wherever possible. Students are urged to avail themselves of these opportunities for help. Realizing that the problem of choosing a career is a realistic and pressing one for most college students, the College has instituted a Careers Library, located in the Guidance Center, which makes available to the student a wealth of current information about hundreds of occupations, pro- SPEOAL INTERESTS Many students have interest d b ·1 · . . studies.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION COMMUNITY PROGRAMS Intercollegiate sports schedules are maintained in football, basketball, wrestling, baseball, tennis, soccer, golf, and swimming. Colleges within the state and in adjacent states are met in these sports. Men may substitute an intercollegiate sport for physical education courses if they meet departmental requirements. A program of intramural sports and physical education gives every man an opportunity to participate. Basketball, boxing, handball, volley ball, bowling, swimming, and table tennis are some of the sports available.

The world needs men possessing broad vision as well as technical competence. The telegraph, radio, airplane, and finally the atomic bomb have rendered obsolete the isolated nationalism of yesterday. As science and technology reduce the size of the world, and man's mobility increases the tempo of competition, a liberal education becomes a necessity rather than a privilege. Two thousand years ago, Aristotle wrote: "Educated men are as much snperior to uneducated men as the living are to the dead." The character of a man's world has always been determined by his understanding of the motives of other men. To offset the trend of specialization which limits the field of a man's knowledge, the scientist and technologist need increasingly to temper their training with a background of the humanities, the distilled essence of the experience of mankind. Specialized training should be combined with courses that help the student to understand human nature, his own and other men's. The College offers two opportunities: a general education for life, and specific training for various vocations. The general education develops understanding of our civilization and prepares the student for constructive citizenship. The specific training consists of courses required for selected occupations and professions. . The Liberal Arts and Science courses may be adapted to specific vocations _by the selection of congenial fields of concentration and of appropriate electives. A prospective journalist may enroll for the Bachelor of Arts course; he may major in one of the Social Studies and choose ~le~ives in English composition, literature, and other subjects useful 10 his future work. b In Engineeri_ng, ~nd in Comm~rce and Finance, the course of study is, contrast, primarily technological, although courses from the Liberal . ~~ _program are required, and the choice of electives is left to the in ividu~l preference. Students find the Engineering course a useful ::aratio_n fo~ our mechanized civilization, even though they do not e engmeermg their life work. The curricula in Engineering and in C0 rnrnerce d psub· an mance are a1so adapted for those who plan to teach these Jects. 1 BusINEsS An MINISTRATION training app ricable to most fields of business is offered in the two progra Course~s f of the Commerce and Finance curriculum. The General tarial ~s or :hose desiring a broad business background, and the Secreurse is for secretarial positions. �35 PROFESSIONS AND VOCATIONS WILKES COLLEGE 34 The Commerce and Finance curriculum covers business principles and practices; it also includes Liberal Arts electives. This diversification of program enables the student to secure a comprehensive foundation for business, secretarial, public service, or teaching career. Young men and women with this broad cultural background find themselves eligible for opportunities dosed to those lacking such training. CHEMISTRY Modern industries offer many opportunities to the chemist and chemical engineer. Today, most large industries employ both chemists and chemical engineers. In the smaller industries either may be called upon to do the work of both. The chemist usually works in the laboratories, analysing, studying, and perfecting procedures and developing new processes, new methods and new uses. He meets the chemical engineer in the pilot plant where together they des~gn and construct, on a small scale, the new manufacturing plant. The duties of the engineer may include design, construction, or operation of the chemical plant. Man· agers of industrial and chemical plants need technical training, as do salesmen for specialized products, buyers for manufacturing concerns, employees in many fields of government service and other activities. The chemical industries include coke, gas, dyes, gasoline, and other petroleum products, rubber, textiles, explosives, cement, metallurgy, plastics, nylon, paints, ceramics, fertilizers, solvents, leather, drugs, light and heavy chemicals and other substances. Last, this is an atomic age and to be an intelligent modern, one can scarcely gain too great an understanding of chemistry. ENGINEERING The first two years of work in chemical, civil, electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering may be taken at Wilkes College. At the end of the second year, students may transfer their credits to othet engineering schools if they make their plans in advance. With sltght modification of their program, students may complete the first two ye_•~ of work in such additional types of Engineering as aeronautical, muung and metallurgical, and administrative. Two years of the engineering currirulum afford a foundation fo< wide range of oa:upations.

NURSING The demand for nurses with college training has increased with the progress of medical science and the wide adoption of highly skilled scientific techniques. A number of hospitals and universities now offer three years of training with a Bachelor of Science degree to student nurses who have completed two years of college. For those who wish to make a life work of nursing, and who aspire to administrative positions in the major hospitals, this course is recommended.

After that, students may trans£ er to other colleges to complete their course. The program at_ Wilkes has been carefully designed to fulfill the requirements of those colleges to which students are likely to transfer. In the modern world, the application of Physics to everyday life i:; becoming more and more common but is, perhaps, not sufficiently recognized nor understood. The tools of communication, electronics, transportation, the motion picture, illumination, engineering, manufacturing, and medicine (to mention but a few of the many activities of modern industrial civilization) are developed and perfected by the employment of the fundamental laws of Physics. PSYCHOLOGY World Wars I and II stressed the importance of the application of Psychology in many diversified .fields. Since then, the need for graduate work and specialized training has been recognized. 0 Liberal Arts preparation on the undergraduate level, consisting ~ a sound foundation in Psychology, Biology, Sociology, and related fiel s. provides an excellent background for work in graduate schools.

They supply values which cannot be developed through academic work alone. All students are encouraged to participate in at least one activity during the year. STUDENT GOVERNMENT To provide a co-ordinating agency, to establish social standards, and to assure responsibility, a Student Council, representative of all students, is elected annually. The Council is responsible for planning, supervising, and executing the program of student activities. DRAMATICS Students of the drama present several one-act plays, and two major productions each year. The students are given training in the arts of the theatre, acting, make-up, scenery-building, costuming, and stage lighting. The College Theatre serves as workshop for major and experimental productions. BAND The College band is organized for the furtherance of instrumental experience, performs at all athletic events, and gives concerts through- COLLEGE out the year. The College owns instruments which are used by musicians who do not have their own bass horns, drums, etc. A uniform is distributed to each member at the beginning of the year. The band library is constantly supplemented by the best martial and concert music. CHORAL CLUB The College maintains a mixed chorus with membership open t? all students who pass an elementary voice test. Previous vocal exp~nenc; O and the ability to read music at sight are important but not required f members. The chorus meets three times each week for the study choral literature covering various periods of music history. ~eve~d programs are presented each semester before the College community a the general public. 1·ts The Choral Club is directed by a member of the faculty.

DEBATING Debating has proved pa_rticularly popular with students preparing for_ the law, or interested m public speaking. A number of intercollegiate debates are arranged each year. ATHLETICS Intercollegiate sports schedules are maintained in football baseball basketball'. gol~, soccer, swimming and wrestling. Colleges ~ithin th; stat~ and m a~Jacent states are met in these sports. Men may substitute an intercollegiate sport for Physical Education if they meet departmental requirements. A program of intra-mural sports and physical education gives every ~an an opportunity to participate. Basketball, boxing, handball, volleyb l~, bowlmg, sw1mmmg, and table tennis are some of the sports available. Th_e athle~ic P:ogram f~r women includes dancing, folk and modern; bowling; sw1mmmg; tenms; field hockey; basketball; and softball.

Th ese clubs, developed cooperatively' b , and art·1st 1c by st~dents and faculty, are kept quite flexible in order that they may e easily adapted to changing and current interests. �College Curricula The curricula include courses leading to the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees, and a number of shorter programs requiring only two or three years of college training. The degree courses include four-year programs in the Liberal Arts, Biology, Chemistry, and Commerce and Finance, and two-year programs in Physics, Engineering, and Music Education. Students completing these two-year programs satisfactorily may transfer credits for their first two years of work to selected colleges offering degrees in these three fields of study. The two- and three-year programs lead to no degree but do give professional, semi-professional, and technical training required in a number of occupations. Among the occupations which may require two or three years of college background are dentistry, chiropractic, osteopathy, medical technology, laboratory technology, secretarial work for business and medicine, music, and radio. Special programs may be arranged for persons wishing to select courses that will satisfy individual interests or needs. �College Curricula The curricula include courses leading to the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees, and a number of shorter programs requiring only two or three years of college training.

Its studies are concerned with men and events, thoughts and institutions, art and science. It creates breadth and perspective as opposed to narrow skills. It is expected, however, that ability in expression and interpretation will be developed. NATURE OF THE PROGRAM A liberal program must necessarily include a wide range of subjects if it is to cultivate understanding of the thoughts, ideals, and institutions upon which our civilization is based. For the sake of simplicity, these subjects are classified into three divisions in which the student will carry on his explorations and from which he will select his major study.

The demands of this profession are exacting, but it should appeal to those genuinely interestea in Mathematics, the Natural Sciences and their application. The following general distinctions may be made between the various .fields: Research appeals to the imaginative mind; the more practical person may _be interested in development and design; others find satisfaction in the tangible results of construction, operation, and production. Technically trained men are always needed to sell applications and equipment. As his experience broadens and his judgment matures, the engineer qualifies for the higher executive and administrative positions. During the first year the curricula for all engineering courses are the same with the exception that Chemical Engineering students must take two additional hours more Chemistry in the second term. For this reason the student should decide by the middle of the first year between Chemical Engineering and one of the other branches of Engineering. The curricula change further at the middle of the second year. For this reason the student should decide by then whether he will pursue Civil, Industrial, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering.

He must utilize power from whatever source derived. The generation of power, whether by steam, hydro or internal-combustion engines is of primary concern to the mechanical engineer in the power field . His services are necessary wherever process equipment and machine tools -are made or used. The mechanical engineer must of necessity be broadly trained in the fundamental sciences and in economics and humanities. Ability and skill in the application of the basic sciences are not sufficient. He must have an understanding of the influence and result of his profession upon our way of life and how its development and expansion affect our future.

' The required courses in this curriculum may be counted toward the Bachelor of Science Degree in Commerce and Finance when students desire to continue their education after completing their secretarial training. The flexibility of t~e pr~gram leading to this degree ~ermits students to elect a 24-hour sequence either m commerce and finance or m another field of study, according to the interests and objectives of each student. As the influence of radio increases, so will an. in_evitable d~mand_ for me~ and women possessed of broad training and speci~ltzed tech_nical skills. This course does not pretend to develop experts in radio produ<;tion: and pr?gr~mming, but it does help to cre~te familiarity with broadcasting m combination with courses in general education. The course in general education will be given in the college an_d the t~chnical courses will be given in the workshop of a local broadcasting station.

A wide program of courses is offered each semester from which selections may be made according to individual tastes and requirements. The courses offered by the Evening Division are designed for their special value to the following groups: 1. Those employed in business or governmental organizations who desire and need training to .fit them for advancement. 2. Men and women who wish to prepare themselves by study and training for work in a new .field. 3. Teachers, nurses and those in other professions who desire additional training in one or more subjects in order to meet the professional requirements demanded of them. 4. Business executives who are interested in advanced problems and discussion courses offered in various business fields. 5. Those who wish to prepare for the profession of accounting and aspire through the study of accounting courses to qualify for certification by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as Certified Public Accountants. 6. Individuals wishing to broaden their knowledge or to increase their skill in certain fields for their personal satisfaction and improvement. All students who register for evening courses are classed as special students. Upon completion of thirty semester hours, the student's high school transcript and his record as a special student will be evaluated at the request of the student, and he may then be registered as a degree candidate. However, no student may expect to count toward an undergraduate degree more than thirty credits earned as a special student. Students who do not seek a degree are admitted to all classes which they are qualified to take by reason of their maturity, previous education, and experience. Although it is advisable, when possible, for each student registering to have first completed his high school course, the lack of part or all high school training does not debar an applicant from the advantages of the practical training of the College, provided he is qualified to follow special courses of instruction in which he wishes to register. �INDEX 139 WILKES COLLEGE 138 ························· .. :~:!:a;~:~~c~::dent .............. .... . ...... ............... .•... ......... .. .... .... .......... ..
