It is always a big challenge for me to write these little notes because I just want to get right to all of this incredible work. However, I will celebrate our accomplishment by giving a quick outline of what we did this year. First, with a wish to make outreach as safe and effective as possible, we made a Welcome to Manuscript video to (virtually) spread around the Wilkes campus. This was so much fun to make and I believe I can speak for all of us when I say that watching ourselves on camera was one of the hardest things we have ever done. We made a similar video for Banned Books Week in which we expressed that Banned Books authors’ voices never should have been silenced and neither should ours. We used this opportunity to encourage the Wilkes community to share their voices by voting in the extremely important, monumental 2020 election. Also, for the first time, we produced two editions of The Manuscript. When I became Executive Editor, I wanted to use this literary magazine as a platform for Wilkes University’s students to release, to be heard, to be read. That is why we decided to put out a digital edition of Manuscript in support of Black History Month and in allyship of Black Lives Matter. A polished compilation of poetry, art, short essay, and prose that showcased Black voices would be able to be spread around campus and beyond. The submissions we received were incredibly beautiful and we were grateful to have published them. And finally, this Spring edition! The theme is “New Beginnings” because this past year and almost-a-half has reminded us how little control we may have over our surroundings, our health, our government, and our very lives. Many of us pray to start over, many may pray for it to end, and all of us are doing our best with all the wishes in-between, and so we give you this �edition. Art, poetry, prose, the like—I’d like to call these musings new beginnings to a new hope. I neglect to call this a “new normal” because we are forever adapting to whatever life throws at us and many of us have struggled with loss, accomplishment, grief, joy, and all that have changed us even before the pandemic. We have all adjusted to a new normal at some point. So, let’s throw “normal” away. Let this edition bring in a fresh start to whatever our story may be, the ones that lie in the short stories, artwork, and poetic verse. Let’s start anew. Thank you to all that submitted and to all that made this issue possible.

He swore to me we’d never part, until our dying day. It was a fairy tale romance, My prince had come for me. On big white horse with stately prance, For all the world to see. There was no mountain top too high, No sea too deep for him. To rescue me he’d climb the sky, And many miles he’d swim. But love was lost and feelings fade, As fairy tales oft’ do. Through destiny our lives are made, A foregone plan, that’s true. Though years have passed, since we did part, I can’t forget the day. When first love came and stole my heart, He took my breath away. 12 �You’ll Remember Me - Caitlyn Bly You’ll smell me in the day From all the flowers your nose will come across You’ll see me on the horizon The bird with its wings stretched free You’ll hear me in the dark grass The cricket chirp of a symphony You’ll miss me in the morning When you sip your bitter coffee Knowing that no more sugar is left to fill your cup 13 �What She Left - Lydia Poer The first time you saw a dead animal, you couldn’t look away. You knew that as a small, impressionable young girl, you should be reeling away from it, fainting, screaming, but what you did was stare at its small, gored body, innards laid out on the cold concrete, waiting to be stepped on. Hand still grasped on the garage door, you dragged your gaze up to your cat, who was sitting proudly with her paws placed primly in front of her, waiting for you to accept her gift. The fur on her face was pristinely white. You carefully placed your foot on the other side of it, giving the dead mouse its space in death. You scooped up your cat, walked out of the garage, around the house, and went back inside through the backdoor. You didn’t tell your dad it was there because you felt like you were going to get in trouble. She was your cat, after all. You left it there, and when your brother almost stepped on it later and called for you to look at it, you reacted the way you were supposed to. The day after your senior prom, you woke up from a nap after spending the night at your friend’s house, the chlorine smell of her pool still trapped in your hair. You glanced down over the edge of the bed, seeing your cat’s curled spine pressed against the wall, right underneath where you had been sleeping. You stared at her for a beat, a habit you adopted as she got older and older, waiting for her chest to rise just briefly before falling back down. You moved quickly, flinging your legs over the bed, falling to your knees, shoving the side table away. She didn’t budge. Her fur was smooth all but one spot, where one of the dogs had nudged her. You remember having to tell yourself to cry, to show what you were losing after fifteen years. You did not touch her, although now you wish you had, one last 14 �time, but you’re also afraid of how cold she would have been. You leapt from your floor and ran to your dad. He saw you sobbing, and you had to tell him that she was under the bed and she wouldn’t move. You watched from the windows as he went inside and when he came back out, he was carrying a trash bag, cradled in his arms. 15 �Gravedigger’s Faith - Sean Schmoyer The giant walks forward on a sacred quest, Bestowed by a god who cherishes the dead, Putting the lives that were lost to rest. A silent prayer to his ghostly crest, His tribe gone like a severed thread, The giant walks forward on a sacred quest. Heroes welcome him to be their guest, He joins them and takes a tyrant’s head, Putting the lives that were lost to rest. With magic light, he cures on request, Easing the worries of those filled with dread, The giant walks forward on a sacred quest. He learns that feelings should be expressed, Though a loner he starts to trust others instead, Putting the lives that were lost to rest. The god shows signs that he is impressed, Still, it is known that death is widespread, The giant walks forward on a sacred quest, Putting the lives that were lost to rest. 16 �Instrusive Thoughts - Darren Martinez english class nestled in room 300-something a sunny, warm room with a fireplace, never used thought of tossing themself through the kaleidoscope in the middle of stairs delicate, little intrusive thought ghost pains of tibia and fibula tearing through the flesh of the knee the crunch, baked into a splat ensuing scream, from a passerby or other the thoughts begin to ask them questions. Would you die? Maybe you’d make it to the hospital. Do you think the class would miss you? I would. they’re answering their own questions heehee hoohoo charming little sprites, aren’t they? 17 �As Is Life - Emily Cherkauskas 18 �philia - jay guziewicz i am not used to this. i am not used to being listened to to sharing things, instead of holding everything, the mother who watches as her children board a rollercoaster but never climbs on herself. i sit in the back seat, silent, holding my tongue from biting insults while i get called a fucking bitch by someone who once wanted to call me theirs. i am not used to this, so i am sorry if i don’t have the right words to say, or if i apologize too much, or if i expect too much. but i hope you know, everytime i tell you i care, i mean it. heart is so full of a love i’ve never been allowed to experienced before now, and how can i say anything but thank you. 19 �I Talked to Icarus - Genny Fredrick I talked to Icarus on a beach one time. He was younger than I remembered. Funny thing is he didn’t remember his death much. Told me the wax felt kind of nice dripping off his arms. The water and waves reflected well too. It was a dream of course, but after I heard him say that I never was scared of death. I was 15 then, and by the time I turned 17 I was still resistant to its fear mongering. Death was as normal as life. When you were sitting in your mom’s uterus floating around in embryonic fluid you didn’t think of what was coming next. You just sat there growing and changing and listening and feeling and when you popped out, you screamed a little then you were cool. I wasn’t gonna spend my whole life worrying about death, I was gonna scream when I got there then I’d be okay. I hated the classics. We spend years of our life reading what people have read for years. Thesis’s were built on ideas, that were discussed in classrooms, that were written about in books, that were shared by firelight, and still we think that we can come up with a new way to address tragedy. That was the most human thing of all, expecting we can do better when better isn’t even real. 20 �Light in the Time of Coronavirus - Chad Stanley So supposing, We hit the body with light. And I think you said, That hadn’t been checked Because of the testing. And then I said, Supposing you brought the light Inside the body. And I think you said, You’re going to test that Too. 21 �Ninak - Sheylah Silva I asked where you had gone, and you said the stars in my deep brown eyes. I told you to take my hand, wading into the dark: descending to the ocean floor. I lay there alone in the sand, in the salt staring up at the moon’s strange face. I conjure these notions of mine, naming them under the stars wondering if I am looking into my very soul. I have built a home inside my heart; and I will live there, forever. 22 �Vulture - William Farnelli In my mind, the question sounds: Why do you smile when I am around? Do the songs that fall from the sky Distract you from the pain in your side? I’d kiss you if it wouldn’t burn my lips, The face that could destroy a thousand ships, And still, I dream of the scars on your torso As the cracks on your plinth slowly dance a calypso. And if one day your chains are let loose, Or rusted away by the ocean’s abuse, Would you fly with me to where bones lie to dry, Halfway between the sand and the sky? “Put honey and yeast in a keg for me,” Far sweeter the nectar than the sting of the bee. Carry on, carry on, Carry on, carry on. Are we limited by the tools we employ To only accept organs we can enjoy? If only we had a body to spare That could endure this wear and tear. In your black eyes, I find the Sublime, Enough to make me fear at times That I stole your liver and you stole my heart, A curse from the beak that tears you apart. Would having a heart really be a disgrace For a harpy without a human face? “Put Nobody at the helm again,” I’d rather be no one than have the wrong name. Carrion, carrion, Carrion, carrion. 23 �The Ultimate Insult - William Billingsley History tells us of an insult so powerful, it could kill a man where he stood. Throughout history, this insult went by many different names. But at some point during the last hundred years, knowledge of that accursed insult’s deathly words suddenly vanished from the historical record. And today, only a few historians speak in hushed tones about the mythical ‘Ultimate Insult’ and the power it commanded throughout history. But very few take the claims seriously, and those who get too close to the truth are allegedly never heard from again. So goes the legend, of which I would have very much liked absolutely no part of. But my grandpa Maximillian’s dying wish was for me to finally get to the bottom of all this. Why did the Insult disappear? When was it used last? Would the Insult still be as potent as it was a century ago? These were all questions that he bade me investigate. And normally, I would not have bothered, if it weren’t for the fact of how close our families were or this exceptionally enigmatic map that he secretly handed to me on his deathbed. The map was arcane in every sense of the word. The area shown in the map was vague, to say the least. It was a top-down perspective of some village or other— utterly useless without knowing where the map originated from. Even with weeks of research through various mapping tools and satellite data, I was no closer to the answer. Frustrated, I then decided to explore what language or cypher existed on the map itself. It was nothing that I had ever seen in my time, but I was faced with a serious dilemma: should I divulge my quest to anyone else? Was my grandpa’s fear about those who got too close to the Insult actually true? Would I be silenced too? Better to be safe than silenced, I suppose. In order to ensure my own safety, I looked for a public place that I could remotely upload pictures of the text to various websites via flash 24 �drive. However, it was important that this public place also not have very many cameras, as camera logs would certainly be checked if my upload aroused any undue attention. And once identified, that’d be it. Game over. After some searching, I eventually found a newish internet café that had just been set up in a safe part of town. Better yet, they had public booths that would limit how traceable my upload might be. So after scanning the text portions of my map (there’d be no point in uploading the entire map, as it might encourage others to complete my quest for me), I went to the café and uploaded it onto various forums and websites, not really expecting anything. Still, I asked any interested parties to email me at a throwaway email address. Of course, I used a VPN to cover my tracks when I checked that email address too. Weeks went by, and all I received was the usual: junk emails with the occasional edgelord chiming in about the images. On a cautious whim, I decided to return to the café where I had first conducted the upload. And as I parked across the street, I was suddenly hit with a massive bout of apprehension and terror. Not knowing what was going on, I decided to make a swift exit, driving out of the parking lot. To my sudden horror, I saw three armored vans swarm out in front of the café, with roughly a dozen armed men wearing body armor and plainclothes rapidly jumping out the back. Armed with a ridiculous complement of accessories on their assault rifles, they methodologically stormed all of the entrances to the café. Gunfire could be heard, though I know not if they were killed or merely threatened. But in not knowing whether I would be pursued for witnessing this brazen black op in broad daylight, I kept driving. I foolishly had the map tucked inside a hidden area in the car (the glove compartment), but I had to assume that I did not have long. The best-case scenario would be that they weren’t onto me at all. But the worst-case? I had hours, tops. 25 �And so, I stayed on the highway for hours, finally stopping at a gas station for much needed fuel and food. I didn’t think I was followed, but being that the whole point of following someone is to remain undetected, I didn’t want to make any assumptions that would put an early end to my quest. And then my phone chimed in with a new email notification: “LEAVE NOW.” Not needing any more of a warning than that, I immediately left the station. Much like with the café, vans and helicopters soon descended on the station, blocking all of the exits. Shit. I really was being tracked. But how? Why? And who was behind that mysterious tip? A new email arrived: “PULL OVER.” Normally, complying with this would also be a poor decision, but again, if the choice was to be interrogated, silenced, or seeing where this third path led me, it was an easy choice. I found a spot a few miles down the highway and pulled over near a quiet stretch of forest. After a few agonizing minutes of listening to the cars roar by, I received a new email: “ENTER THE WOODS. BRING THE MAP.” As I recovered the map and walked over to the woods immediately adjacent to the highway, I heard a faint whirring sound from above, just seconds before what used to be my car exploded. Looking away from the wreckage of my baby, I resumed my sojourn into the woods. Or rather, I would have, if I were not immediately clubbed as soon as I turned back around. *** I woke up some time later on a strange horse-drawn cart in an unfamiliar snowy locale. My hands were bound, and there was another horse-drawn cart ahead of us on the dirt path. “Hey, you,” a ragged man in front of me cryptically said. Like mine, his hands were similarly bound. Oh no, I thought. 26 � “You’re finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right?” he said with a gravelly tone of voice that belied his somber awareness of his surroundings. Perhaps he knew. I was speechless. I cast my gaze towards the sky, searching frantically among the rim for something, anything that would dispel this cruel illusion. I was trapped. 27 �A Lovely Murder - Sean Schmoyer His Love A dagger A dagger My heart it now bleeds A wound A wound He has Done To me Sharp Oh how Sharp Blood I see My heart Yes My heart Oh yes I see I see Oh yes My Heart It bleeds My Broken Heart bleed I see I now am A fool My Wound My Wound He Has S lain Me A Lover A Criminal A Murderer You See Was So Deeply In Love That He Has Killed Yes Me 28 �What Can I Do - Sam Burgess, Jr. I’m just a child, What can I do, about the world today? I’m only eight, I can’t relate, Don’t know the words to say. To those who are in power, Who lead us every day. How can I make them listen, How can I make them pray? To our great God, that he end, All wars and poverty. All illness and pollution, Of land, air and sea. They all should stop and listen, This world is in decline. I’m only eight, and I pray to God, That I live to see age nine. 29 �thinks - Darren Martinez im searching for an original thought. if I dig far enough in my every orifice, perhaps I will find something thoughts pass me by, enveloped in a haze of a thousand hybrid cars for a glimpse, occupied with the consecutive thought; What shall I eat for dinner? It’s an essay question. written on my arm, a thousand different answers. cut like runic symbols, still fresh with thin blood starve. order the same pizza you’ve had thrice this week. eat the chocolate pretzels you stole from the convenience store for breakfast, lunch, brunch, linner, and dinner. the sweat gloves cannot grip the pen, the mediator looms over my shoulder Cheating, are we? that wasn’t such a difficult question. come, eat dinner with your family and there she goes. next thought. if you cannot eat, you must love. it sneers at me from below the crank window you’re all filled with objects! so filled! and yet, you cannot think. you’re cold as ice your flesh is burned inside out the postman lost your address, giving your mail to the sweet old lady 30 �that lives next door. why not try to love, . shake that one off, will you? c’mon champ, don’t let it get you down. we’ve got to go deeper still here the thoughts are more primal they snarl, grinding up your artefacts ahh, broken brakes. the sole bane of humanity. come so far, built so much, thought a thousand thinks you’re broken. undeniably. thanks doctor. can he be fixed? why, no who would trade a brain in the wretch for a slug on the street salted, squirming slit his throat while the anesthesia grips his heart he’s probably happier in there 31 �Mother Nature - Sarah Weynand I treasure your birth of tulips and oak, of emerald leaves and sparkling waters; your tender caress of the ocean, your fingers circling about in its depths like you would a sweetheart’s hand, sweeps bikini girls under waves, and your rumbling moans bring us thunder, nails gripping the silk beneath you as your lover leaves sparks with his lips on your collarbone— your choked whisper cracks like lightning and your afterglow cardinal cheeks grant us sunrise. But you are also composer of spiders, snakes, scorpions, who hold us down and cover our mouths as their venom destroys our petals. they wrap us with silk and their smooth bodies hold us and hold us as if they starved for us and sting us with a shrug, when their zip their jeans back up and wipe the blood from their knuckles. it’s in their nature. But if it’s their nature 32 �and you are their mother, how could you let this happen? How could you spoil us with such pleasures and turn your cheek to those who abuse us for them? 33 �My Body Will Never Be Your Home - Caitlyn Bly I can feel your eyes examining me Acting like my body is for sale My chest tightens The thought of disappearing invades my soul Like an insect under a microscope, I am left exposed Here I am completely clothed But in your mind disrobed Your seemingly innocent smile pierces my very being Do not undress me with your eyes Do not ravage me in your immoral mind For my body is not yours to take My body can not be bought nor sold Do not look at me with those unholy eyes My body shall never be your home 34 �Yani - Ana Perez 35 �Tempest - William Billingsley A solitary gale through the moonlit forest, between sleeping oaks, slumbering deer, and past waters of the lake. Along the water’s edge, another arrives, cast out of heaven, and left for dead. Stirred by the wind, she stands up, steadies herself, and leaves the forest. But weaving their grim tapestry, the three Fates are not yet finished, and ever-greater torments await her. A fell wind through the night forest, between twisting canopy, owls on the wing, and over torpid waters. Along the water’s edge, she finds herself, exiled once more— alone again in the abyss. Unyielding, she stands up, staggers out of the forest, and the cycle repeats. 36 �The wheel turns and turns, and once again, she washes ashore— but she does not stand. A familiar gust through the crimson forest, under that oak firmament, among the bodies on the shore— but she does not move. Once more, that gust sweeps through the forest, under the canopy, through the underbrush, and along the lake— and at last, her eyes open. By now, she surely knows, that in leaving the forest, her return is inevitable. But to remain is to embrace oblivion, to surrender to that dark tapestry. So she must stand, no matter what reckonings await her, and leave the forest. Once more, that fleeting tempest cuts through the smoky forest, under burning canopy, over the captive lake, and those who would not stir, guiding her out of the inferno. 37 �Solitary - Lydia Poer It’ll hit me randomly that I’m really alone, not like when I’m by myself in my room (but also like that) but that I’ve never had a boyfriend or a girlfriend or a partner or whatever they want to be called – besides my theater teacher’s son from freshman year of high school who I broke up with after three months, but he’s married to a nice, lovely girl and besides, who counts those short, short relationships? – so sometimes I’ll lay in bed at night and wonder what it would be like to stand in a kitchen with someone next to me helping me chop vegetables for a meal we bought the groceries for together and are making together and will eat together and what it would feel like to stand side by side, barefoot on cold tile, the windows open to let in the warm summer evening air, while they stir something in a pot while I push something around in a pan and then after we would put off doing the dishes so we could watch just a little bit more of the movie I’ve been wanting to see but haven’t had the guts to face alone and even now, I remember what it was like to hold his hand even if it was saturated with fourteen-year-old awkwardness and how he didn’t laugh at me with our friends when I cried at X-men twice, but I wonder what would it be to hold someone else’s hand and get to be in a relationship now that I’m older and would like to say wiser and have better stories to tell because we probably won’t run in the same circles and therefore I can meet even more new people through this stranger who’s just a shadowy silhouette in my head that’s just out of my reach even when I imagine them sitting in the passenger’s seat as I drive home for the weekend or across from me when I’m eating lunch or walking next to me on my way to class and trust me, I’m well acquainted with being alone because it’s been my state of being my entire life, even during those three months, but even though I can’t remember anyone looking 38 �my way, doing a double-take, or seeking me out and it’s hard to consider being together, I imagine what it would be like to put my number on that guy from my friend’s class’s car on a premeditated whim and what it would be like if he called and asked if I wanted to go somewhere, and I’m thinking this as I sit typing in my pajamas, the only other sound being the tinny music lifting out of my computer’s speakers, and that it’s like he only crosses my path when I don’t have time to stop and change my course and then the dull ache will start because I don’t really want to be alone right now. 39 �arin means exalted - jay guziewicz you are poisoned water, the stream I’ve been drinking from for months. the stream that has my insides rotting away, and my teeth decaying, and I know that I should stop taking sips from you, but you say you are clean and you cool my parched throat, and I am just a silly little girl with a god complex who craves the power that you threaten to give me. 40 �Warrior’s Way - Sean Schmoyer Boats rock on the waves Wounded men search every day Seeking one last grave Mama Pearl - Sam Burgess, Jr. Deep in the woods of Tennessee, once did a Midwife live. With gifted hands she healed for free, and endless love she’d give. They called this woman Mama Pearl, and not one Mom to be. Would give birth to a boy or girl, unless Mom Pearl could see, Their life begin upon this earth, with gentle tender touch. She’d christen every precious birth, each one she loved so much. The year was nineteen sixty-four, and one hot summer day. A northern friend came to Mom’s door, here’s what he had to say. “My wife has run away on me, she’s with another man. My child needs constant care cause he, can’t walk as others can. 41 �He’s four years old and he was born, with a deformity. Within six months my son will mourn, my death because you see. I’ve only six more months to live, as cancer’s come to claim. My life, and I am here to give, lil’ Charles and it’s my aim. To have you love and care for him, as you are known to do. And when my final light is dim, my conscience will be true.” “I’ll take your child and give him love, as God will be my guide. He sends his guidance from above, he’s always by my side” Mom rubbed Charles’ fragile legs at night, and then to him she’d say. “Through God’s power and His might, you’re gonna walk one day.” She had her sons pick up the boy, and carry him to springs. Where water therapy brought joy, while pretty robins sing. Melodic music sweet and pure, rhapsodic harmony. By now Lil Charles was very sure, that his new family. 42 �Loved him as though he were their own, yet, Charles would have his doubt. When Mom would smile as she was known, to do at times and shout. “You’re gonna walk one day lil man, when? God will let us know. You must believe and think you can, and on your way, you’ll go.” One day when Charles was nearly eight, it was the first of May. Mom said to him, “It’s getting late, come child, this is the day.” “Come on now Honey, walk to me, that’s all you have to do. The love of God will set you free, it’s now all up to you.” Said Charles to Mom, “Look at my legs, you know I cannot walk. Sometimes they feel like wooden pegs, but every time you talk. You give me confidence and I, will give it all I’ve got. So now I’ll stand and even try, to walk, though like a tot. If I should fall, I’ll try again, you’ve always preached to me. That if at first, I did not win, another try would be. 43 �The proper course that I should take, because the Lord above. Has shown that He will not forsake, those seeking His true love.” The little boy stood on his feet, and looked Mom in the eye. What took place next was hard to beat, it made all present cry. He struggled with each little step, determined look on face. Great Kings of Egypt would have wept, had they been in the place. It seemed as though the Angels sang, the sky was clear and blue. The bells in Heaven even rang, a heart rendering view. At last, he fell into Mom’s chest, about four feet away. They held each other and the rest, mere words cannot convey. It took Charles several months before, he walked with normalcy. His would become a tale of lore, a sight for all to see. Mom passed away in eighty-eight, in peace she left this world. Now souls beyond the Pearly Gate, are healed by Mama Pearl. 44 �Window - Emily Cherkauskas 45 �Medicine for the Uncertain Mind - Sheylah Silva Hot like brush fire, we run through the land whose abundant voice calls us further through the steps of many ancestors. The wood engulfs us in the close and quiet love you find between shaded trees. Aglow in the dim, you then become the moon: shining seemingly from within finally turning back to gaze at me.

Fast forward to the day of my seventh birthday. I was going to be seven in a few scant hours. I was seven. Life was good. Or so I thought. No, this isn’t dramatic foreshadowing of any sinister event. This isn’t that kind of story. No, it was at my seventh birthday party that my parents opted to surprise me with something I could have never expected. You know, because I was seven. Because it was my birthday, I was allowed to stay home from school for the day, which was always okay with me. I was able to sleep in and ruin my circadian rhythm just a bit (but it’s not like I knew what that was anyway when I was seven). After that, I went up the hill behind our house and into the woods for several hours playing with whatever woodland critters I could find. As it turns out, those woodland critters were very fast. And did not want to play. My memory of exactly what animals I saw while I was playing in the woods escapes me, but I probably saw a deer. I definitely also saw a bunny. My parents never believed me, but I swore I saw a bear. For some reason, the details were always a little fuzzy. I never did see that bear again. I hope he’s doing well. Nonetheless, I eventually returned home around noon. And I was starving. I was ravenous. It had been quite literally, forever, since I had my last meal. So I cried out to my parents, who had stayed home for the day. You know, because it was my birthday. And I asked them what was for lunch. To my utter horror, they said nothing. No lunch? This was inconceivable. It could not be. It must have been some cruel joke. With my developing mind still calculating the ramifications of no lunch, I asked again. No response, but this time they looked at each other in unison. In retrospect, this part was a little weird. Oh well. So I asked a third time, my hunger gnawing at my very bones like a rat in a bucket in one of those old torture methods. And it was 51 �On this third request that they told me that they were still making my birthday meal and that it was absolutely a secret. Well, telling any seven-year-old that they have some great meal surprise waiting for them is definitely not something you want to tell them if you have any expectation of secrecy. My parents should have definitely given me some generic-branded animal crackers and sent me on my way out of the house. But, they did not. But they did insist I go back into the outside world and play for a few more hours. Begrudgingly, I did. On my way out, my parents assured me that this birthday meal would be ‘to die for’. While again in retrospect, this might be a red flag and particularly ominous, a seven-year-old is not going to be able to ascertain any kind of malicious intent behind anyone’s words. Unless like, they were comically evil. But even then, if your parents were villains, would you be keyed into that knowledge too? Or would you be utterly unawares? Anyway, like I said at the beginning, this isn’t that kind of story. So I entered the breach once more, fearless (and starving). Seriously, if seven-year-old me knew how to hunt and had the means to do so, I would have spent hours trying to catch a rabbit. And if I had been so lucky to actually hunt one successfully in that alternate timeline, I would have absolutely been hit with the existential quagmire that is the value of life. I would have pondered that rabbit’s sacrifice for hours in the corner of the woods. Should I have killed it? What would I have done once I killed it? I didn’t know how to skin a rabbit. I also didn’t know how to cook a rabbit. Or even start a fire for that matter. And once I had finally gotten over the fact that I had slain this poor creature, I’m sure a wolf would have leapt in and stolen my dinner anyway, making the whole endeavor pointless. Sevenyear-old me was not especially good at anticipating the future. And while I did not know how to hunt at seven, I did see a lot of berries and plants that might be edible. And when I say that I was starving at this point, I meant that. So I scaled the hill that sat behind my house and headed back into the tick-infested 52 �woods once more. What else was I to do but wait for my birthday meal and subsequent presents? This time, however, I had brought along my backpack so that I could carry essential food supplies that I would scrounge up in these wild woods behind my house. It was a warm day in late spring, so there were a lot of different varieties of plant life out and about. But good luck trying to convince starving seven-year-old me that eating anything in these forlorn woods was a bad idea. After all, I was hungry. And if I didn’t eat something soon, I would undoubtedly and inevitably become hangry. The final form of any child. In that state, a child is not only mostly stoppable, but they’re also very loud. And if there’s one thing people don’t like, it’s loud children. Anyway, so there I was, collecting random assortments of plants from the woods. I started by collecting some berries of the blue variety. My parents had bought blueberries before, but these berries were of a brighter hue. After all, if apples can be red OR green, why can’t blueberries be two different shades of blue? So I grabbed a few handfuls of these berries and added them to my pack. And though I was rather famished at this moment in time, it was not yet time to devour my picked bounty of berries. Nay, even a seven-year-old needs variety in their foraged cuisine. So I sallied forth, my eyes peering as far as they could see in the woods for items that I could eat. Well, as far as my eyes could see, with some old glasses anyway. After a few minutes of searching and light walking, I found my next delicacy: a red mushroom with a white stalk, spackled with white dots. Or was it a white mushroom spackled with red dots? Seven-year-old me cared not. I like to think that I’m still a fun guy, but I can definitely empathize with my younger self for ignoring the duality of mushrooms in his hungerous state. If he had not been so hungry, my younger self would have undoubtedly pondered this matter further. If they were indeed red spots, would they taste differently from the white portions of the mushroom? Or if they were white spots, would they taste differently from the red portions of the mushroom? And what about the stalk? Would that have an 53 �entirely different consistency? Nonetheless, I collected several of these redwhite mushrooms. They proved to be somewhat tricky to locate given the fact that mushrooms do not grow very tall and I could also not see very far as a wee lad. With the mushrooms added to my inventory, I came to realize that my hunger had been escalated to a higher echelon of hunger: hunger pains! As one might expect of a child on any endeavor, I was not very efficient in my foraging. Indeed, several hours had actually passed while I was on my foraging quest. Surely my parents could have finished preparing my birthday meal in these last few hours? With myself fiending for some of the delicacies in my backpack, but encouraged, I went back home. Which, if you’ve been paying attention at all to my story, you should know wasn’t very far from the woods. So I was there in like five minutes tops. Really, it was pretty quick. Nonetheless, I entered through the doorway and found that someone had turned off all the lights at home. The door was unlocked, which was different. My parents would have definitely locked the door if they were going out. Maybe they finished my birthday meal and were out looking for me? But wait, no. That wouldn’t make any sense if both of them had left. Maybe my dad went out to get some more cigarettes while my mom went towards the woods looking for me? Once again in hindsight, these are all huge red flags. These red flags should have been apparent to any normal-functioning adult. But seven-year-old me was not one of those adults. So I just turned the lights on and scanned the living room. Nothing was really out of the ordinary. Then, I looked over at the kitchen and saw…My parents? Still standing there at the kitchen counter like they had been several hours ago? In typical parenting fashion, my parents simply smiled and waved at their dear boy. Now, I know what you’re thinking: that my younger self was in for a bad time and should have bailed a long time ago out of this story. But what was I to do? They were my parents, and I was hungry, dammit. It was either whatever they 54 �made for my birthday or my foraged foodstuffs. Besides, it was my birthday! What could possibly go amiss? And like I keep telling you, this isn’t that kind of story. Undaunted, I triumphantly walked into the kitchen area. I set my bag down on the table and told them about the berries and mushrooms I had found. Again, they warmly smiled at me as I recanted my second woodland expedition to them. Of course, my expedition’s exposition was all for a singular goal: my birthday meal. I knew this. And my parents definitely knew this. Probably because my stomach growling at that point had become something fierce. It had actually gotten so loud that it caused me to double over in an effort to minimize the sound. Otherwise? I would have never been able to tell my story over that racket. But through some further perseverance and grit, I finished my story as if it were my magnum opus for life. And so, I asked them if they had finished my birthday dinner yet. No response. So I asked again. After a pause, they looked at each other, again in unison. My hungry eyes darted between them as they held their silent stare for several seconds too long. Or, if I knew better, it would be too long. Determined (and hungry), I asked a third time. Their gazes immediately darted back towards me as I repeated my request. With a simple head nod to me and to each other, my mom headed for the living room and my dad approached the fridge. Excited, I hurriedly sat in my chair with great anticipation. And then my mom shut off the lights. My dad’s footsteps approached the fridge. Then, nothing. The anticipation was killing me. But as I began growing anxious, my dad opened the fridge, casting him in an ominous yellow light as he retrieved a plate. Given my short stature at the time, I was unfortunately unable to ascertain what shape my meal might be. Was it a cake like my friends at school had raved about every year? Or maybe a single oatmeal raisin cookie, like the one I got last year? I still remember that meal. I think it was the best cookie I had ever had. 55 � But enough of those halcyon days, I wanted to eat my birthday dinner in the now, not devour my memory of last year’s. As I waited in the darkness, my dad’s footsteps began approaching the table in a measured fashion. As he did that, my mom began locking up our five locks on the door. It was some arcane contraption of deadbolts, chains, and even included a customized 2x4 propped up against the doorknob. What can I say? My parents like to have peace of mind. After all, you never know who’s gonna kick down your front door. Now you’re probably thinking about the windows in my house or some such. But let me assure you that you needn’t worry about if we had secured our windows in a similar manner. This is because my parents sealed up all the windows from the inside, so that it only appears like we have windows. This way, they claimed, would allow my parents to not be disturbed by the morning sun. After all, who was seven-year-old me to argue? Anyway, my trepidation was especially evident as my dad approached the table. He set the plate down and began fumbling around for something. I waited patiently, hopefully with a full complement of silverware on the table in front of me. As my dad found the object he was looking for, my mom returned from the front door and stood behind me, still seated. She quietly placed her hands over my eyes. I heard a scratching sound from my dad’s direction. Scritch. Scritch. Scritchach. A small flame had roared to life and a small amount of smoke had filled my nostrils. At the same time, I heard the plate of destiny being placed right in front of me. Without a word, my mom lifted her hands and bade me to open the dish cover. In the dim candlelight, with both of my parents sitting quietly next to me, my dinner had finally arrived. It was a new dish covering, so there was no way to peer inside without removing it. I looked at my parents again, their gaze ever fixated on me. Or was it my 56 �dinner? Did they want some too? I asked if they were going to partake in my meal. No no, they said, this one was for my birthday. As such, I should be the one to eat it. That sounded good enough to me. Thus, the moment was finally at hand. My dinner. Whatever mysterious cuisine or delicacy it was, it would assuredly be devoured by me in a heartbeat. Unless like, it was broccoli or something. But I’m sure my parents wouldn’t do that to me. Would they? That would be a cruel joke, carried out by only the most nefarious of parents. And after all of this waiting and adventure, surely my parents would reward me in a just manner? So I reached for the dish cover, hands trembling. Whether they were from genuine excitement or as a side effect of my hunger pains, I know not. But nonetheless, I began to lift up the dish cover with all of my measured might. After all, I wouldn’t want to break something as treasured as this dish cover. But as I lifted, the candle was suddenly snuffed out. My dad suddenly stood up. Apparently he had not been expecting this development, because he knocked over the box of matches onto the ground. He began fumbling around for the box and the matches. I set the dish cover back down on the plate. I started to leave my chair to go help my dad, but my mom firmly set her hand on my shoulder. Getting the message, I patiently waited for my dad as he gathered as many matches as he could. So alone I sat, my stomach growling evermore. And at the last, he stood up and began to light another match. Somewhat unbalanced by the night’s sudden developments, my dad took a few more attempts to get a working match lit, even breaking a few in the process. But once again the dining table was lit by the candle and my birthday dinner could resume. cess. But once again the dining table was lit by the candle and my birthday dinner could resume. And as I lifted the cover off once more and peered at the treasure that lay below, I could hear my parents breathing. I hadn’t noticed them get up, or get so close to me that I could hear them breathe. Alright, I told them. This is weird. I’m going to go eat in my room. As I got up from 57 �my chair to take the mysterious dish into my room (and to the much better lighting), my dad suddenly swatted the dish out of my hands. Being pelted at what must have been light speed, the plate never stood a chance. Neither did whatever delicacy lay beneath. It was gone. Reduced to atoms. And though I was devastated and on the verge of tears, all I could think about was… That this was how you get ants. 58 �Soulmates - Genny Fredrick “But we’re soulmates” “And?” “Don’t you think that means we have to be together” “Have to? We don’t have to do anything. I definitely don’t have to do anything. You think of soulmates as a two-person puzzle and you’re the only person I’ll fit with so I have to, I have to. That’s not what soulmates are. Soulmates are the colors blue and white. They look great in the sky together, make everyone who looks at them feel great too. But the cloth I used to stop the blood running out from under your skin last night was white too. That white rag was full of blood red and it sure made me feel more than the sky ever did. Don’t tell me what I have to do. You might think of me as your white but I sure as hell don’t want my soulmate to be blood red.” 59 �We Will Serve the Lord - Sam Burgess, Jr. He suffered so greatly, so calmly, so long, His purpose was noble, His spirit so strong. The nails pierced His flesh, His tendon, His bone, Though no one was with Him, He was not alone. His blood flowed so freely, upon wooden cross, Our lives now eternal, our souls are not lost. When the spirit did leave Him, the curtain was rent, We know why He died, and why He was sent. He was placed in a tomb that was borrowed not new, On the third day He rose, for me and for you. God so loved this world, after all it had done, That He gave up His child, He gave up His son. We really are blessed, this whole human race, We’re saved by His mercy, His goodness, His grace. I know not how others pursue their reward, As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. 60 �i learned more from shonda rhimes than i ever would from henry grey - jay guziewicz weeds grow in unexpected places, cracks in the sidewalk or an old pair of shoes, and my love for you grew unexpected, shooting out from the muscle of my heart that i thought was nothing but ash. and i love the ground, solid under my feet, as much as you love the ocean, seaweed wrapping around ankles but i will walk underwater for you as you would climb ashore for me. 61 �Matinee - Lydia Poer I’m going to the movies. This means driving myself, the summer sun tanning my legs through the windshield as I maneuver the streets, going down the long stretch of highway to get to the old theater because the new one is too crowded and I’m loyal. I’m going to the movies. Nobody is with me this time. I want to see this on my own – I want to experience this movie to the fullest, without my uncontrollable need to put my hand on the arm of my friend, without the stress of making sure my leg doesn’t press against my neighbor’s, without having to restrain my feelings as I watch the looming, god-sized figures before me. I keep the ticket that the teenage usher gives me, the paper no longer perforated so the edges are rough and quick. I’m going to the movies. I get a soda and some candy and take my seat. The best seat is either the second or third row from the top, as close to the middle as possible. This is so your head isn’t craned back too far, and you can recline your seat, and you are faced only with the next two hours. Under my breath, I sing along with the jingle that tells me that Haynes has got the car (or truck!) that’s right for me. The movie starts and I put my feet up on the empty seat in front of me. This early in the day, there’s no one around except for the older couple closer to the bottom of the stairs. My jean jacket crawls up toward my ears, the denim rubbing against my jaw. I tell myself multiple times to remember that moment, that one shot that seems so perfect and so beautiful, but it’s forgotten almost as quickly as the next shot that seems so perfect and so beautiful. The movie seems like it’s four hours long, time extending without the sun for reference, lost in the space of the movie, but when I look it up, it’s only a few minutes over two hours. 62 �When I leave the movies, I take my trash with me, the thin pink strip of plastic that I tore away to get to the candy riding home with me in my pocket. When I step outside, the sun wraps its arms around me, and I feel warmer and cozier than I ever have. I take off my jacket and move on. 63 �Love Me in All the Ways My Grandfather has Loved My Grandmother - Caitlyn Bly When we meet Sweep me off my feet When your glance meets mine Promise me a love so divine When it’s time to pick out my ring Do not pick the most expensive bling For no matter how small I’ll always keep it close to my heart From my finger it will never part When it’s late and I can’t sleep Hold my hand and start a conversation so deep And when we find ourselves miles away Write me letters to remind me that our love will stay When it’s time to raise our own Make sure I am not left to do it alone When I am disrespected Make sure you object Come to my defense Speak words so intense That the words of vulgarity will never be spoken to me again And then When I am old and gray Grab my hand and take me away Lead me to the dance floor Sway with me so pure Love me until my last breathe Love me in all the ways I deserve to be loved 64 �Parasio En El Caribe - Ana Perez 65 �browsing steam on a february evening instead of writing a paper due tomorrow - Darren Martinez i found the online profile of someone i’d since cut off in the friends list of a service we both used to frequent a sudden door, hurtling down from on high exploding the terrain. dud warhead, tilling the ground through sheer force of will. the gunpowder’s dried up, packed its bags, went to heaven the door brought about a channel a connection that all at once was bungled, constricted, strangulated, murdered i could feed words through the keyhole twist the knob, type in morse code mend broken relationships with men shattered helm to toe I went to typing and my brain’s suggestive text went as edgy as possible, instantaneously. “I hope regret eats your bones.” No, fuck that. “I earnestly, actually hope you’re happy.” Even if I did, it’s not very believable. words cycled in and out, pedaling those pretty mountain bikes that were too tall to let the rider stand still 66 �four hours later, sweat dripped from my brow. if I hit the same keys my perspiration did I likely would’ve typed a more coherent message I resolved myself, took a deep breath, and unfriended may we meet again in the next chat service 67 �I Swear - Caitlyn Bly I swear some nights I hear god He speaks to me from above While the angels descend down And tap on my windowsill I swear some nights I can reach the stars Float up and grasp them between my fingers The madness explodes in me Like bright colorful fireworks I swear some nights I feel completely alive As if I could never die 68 �The Visit - Sam Burgess, Jr. If you don’t believe in angels, you’ve every conceivable right. But I was cast from my own hells, when one visited me last night. With loving hands, she touched my head, then life became so clear to me. The beauty of her insight led, to feelings of serenity. We talked about the problems that, exist across our troubled earth. I asked her why, during our chat, a person’s life has little worth. As fighting all across the world, persists at such a rapid pace. And since “Old Glory” was unfurled, the loss of life from every race. Has caused more “Moms” than I can count, to mourn the bodies of their sons. She spoke, I felt my comfort mount, I was among the chosen ones. She said, “There soon will come a day, when pain and suffering will cease. All creed and races work and play, there will be everlasting peace”. 69 �“The world must look”, she said to me, “at how young children have behaved. And then it will be plain to see, how man’s existence can be saved”. There was a lovely radiance, that glowed when this supreme one spoke. I felt relaxed, no longer tense, I pinched myself, yes, I was woke. As she continued, I was sure, that somehow this would change my life. She delved into my very core, erasing anger, fear, and strife. Too soon her time came to depart, I thanked her for a precious night. She gave me blessings from her heart, and disappeared towards the light. 70 �Shake, Sit, Shake, Sip, Swallow, Sit, I Promise I’m Sane in the End - Sean Schmoyer Whoops!

Summer 1972 t;lO lMion in Damage Estimated ^Operation Snapback' Follows Record Flooding Thursday, June 22, started out just as anv other routine day at Wilkes College. People were inconvenienced by having to don rain gear, but offices and other departments continued work as usual. Even by Thursday evening, when reports indicated that the river level had risen considerably, there was no thought to the possibility that Wilkes would experience the worst disaster in its short history within the next two days. Then it hit, Friday, June 23, at 11:14 a.m. sirens sounded, ending the effort of hundreds of individuals to hold back the raging waters of the Susquehanna, and driving everyone out of the area. By Monday, President Francis J. Michelini and other college officials were on campus, surveying the estimated S1 (Lmrilion in damages and beginning the seemingly endless cleanup procedures Then, just 11 days later -on July 5Wilkes opened its doors tor the resumption of summer school classes, proving to the skeptics and area residents that Wilkes was capable of “snapping back into action again. Qverdl damages remain at the Umated $10-milhon, according to Dr. Michehm, with the hardest hit areas being the library, the Stark Science Hall and the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. „ The music building ___ and the CPA "Operation Snapback" — the name given to the restoration of Wilkes College and experienced $1.5-million in damages to ‘ts campus by volunteer students, faculty .equipment, ._________ ° --- ■ instruments, lighting andand administrators — remains in full operation, along with the assistance of furnishing. many out-of-town students, alumni and Perhaps the hardest hit area on the friends who came into town to see if they campus was the library with over "could help out" $500,000 in book losses.

Lenny Batroney, forward from Georgetown, became the all-time pointmaker at Wilkes early in the season by topping Bob Benson's three-year mark of 783 tallies. Streaking along at a meteoric 21-per-game average, Bart now has 1003 points in less than three seasons. Facing another NCAB leader, Vince Leta of Lycoming, the other night, Len played to the hilt and shaded the Williamsport ace 30-26 in their personal scoring battle. Parker Petrilak is back from Korea to swell the ranks of Wilkes talent. Jim Atherton, Eddie Davis, Joe Sikora, John Milliman, and Marsh Karesky, Batroney, and Petrilak comprise the starting line-up. Without a senior on the roster, it appears Wilkes has the making of a winning squad next year. 1 news of the clubs Ed's gift moved Mrs. Nada Vujica, librarian holding advanced degrees--they must be legion--for ■n, to urge us to ask other alumni tions.

Al Groh, '41, director of dramatics at the College, has agreed to direct the big show, likely to be in some respects similar to the well-remembered "All in Fun," Lettermen's show of '49, and Ted Warkomski, '50, to write the music. As no-one who saw "All in Fun" needs to be told, two such collaborators can go a long way towards making the review a resounding success, but only your full cooperation can assure its going over.

Some 30 or 32 New Yorkers and Jerseyites justified the hopefulness we expressed in the last "Bulletin" at the Kosciuszko Foundation the evening of May 1, The group heard Dr. Farley, adopted a constitution, nominated officers, and then re­ paired to the Foundation's board room for tea and incomparable Polish cates. Ballots were returned to the Alumni Office, with the following results: president, Bill Sabanski, '52, now a chemist with Pittsburgh Plate Glass in Newark; vice presi­ dent, Dick Scripp, '52, associated with U.S. and Indonesia Importing Co., New York; secretary, JoAnne E.

The officers were installed at a second meeting at the Foundation May 22, which gathering also marked the appointment of Marianne Hofman, '52, as program chairman, Roberta Siva, '52, as Club representative on the Alumni Council, and Sam Eliap, '50, as publicity man. The group projected a purely social gathering to follow the Aldelphi game in the fall and asked us to use this issue of the "Bull a. tin" to urge New Yorkers who have yet to get wind of the Club to drop Bill Sabanski a line at 124 Chesapeake Avenue, Lake Hi­ awatha, N.J. The Club is especially fortunate in having such a handsome and well-appointed meeting place as the Foundation and such gracious hosts as Professor and Mrs. Stephen Mizwa, who are in charge there. The entire group, as well as the College, is most grateful to them and to Jeanne Ko cyan, '45, sometime secretary of the Foundation, who put us in touch with the Mizwas. i u we've devoted a somewhat disproportionate amount of space to these two ° YJ? v +e organization and progress constitute the biggest alumni news -rumMin \ rUS-k da^ ds no^ distant when we'll be giving them even more space: rumblings have been heard in Washington, D.C., and Johnson City, nT One of the outstanding assembly speakers of the year just past was Fred M.Hechinger education editor of the "New York Herald Tribune."

WARMOUTH ON WILKES AND NCAA RATINGS In its second year as a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, Wilkes stands high in the final 1952-53 basketball statistics released this spring. With a record of 10 wins and 12 losses, which in itself shows much improvement over past years, the Colonels and Len Batroney figured among the national leaders in sever­ al places. With 471 points to give him a new College record and an average.of 21.4 per game, Len made 38th place in •individual scoring. He was also number nine in foul-shooting with an 80.5 per cent, making 153 out of 190 free tosses.

Pictured below with club members Thelma Williams and Steve Toporcer, the display impressively pointed up, by means of photographs, drawings, and neat bar graphs, the growth of the College during the past 20 years, its significant contributions to the community, and its training of leaders and intelligent follow­ ers through a varied program of student activities.

Jack Semmers rapped out a double against John Mil liman to score Jimmy Davis and tie the score in the last inning. w I �TkeOUFc, I -ljar F^ceS V . ^eSV?^w|js|isi °ur man wa^°uth was men American Board of Internal Medicine has certified n it Organize 1 1’ rises up among the Johnson Ci?s n2 a club- If ’39, as in internal Dr. Kerr an 1 to set the gears grinding.

Vol* H' No* 5 September, 1953 t.ffiiVE DUSTED OFF THE WELCOME MAT Two important events vie for top billing in this issue— Homecoming and the Alumni Association1s big musical review "Here’ to Ya." The latter being scheduled for the Thanksgiving week-end we give the nod to Homecoming, October 16 and 17. Chairman Loretta Farris, ’44, has things going smoothly for the annual gathering^ but space considerations prevent our giving more than the highlights here. We trust they are sufficient to bring many, many Alums back for a misty-eyed view of our ever-expand!ng campus and its crop of new faces. We gather right away, from the schedule placed in our hands by Miss F., that busy Dan Williams, ’44, will be as busy as ever. He's chairman of the registration committee, and the cryptic note under Location says "Everywhere." The first thing on the list is a coffee hour which' will be held in the lounges of McClintock Hall from 5 to 6 p.m. on Friday, October 16. At 7:30 a general meeting, devoted first to business, and then to more relaxing things, such as a word of greeting from Dr. Farley, a variety of speakers from the club's membership, refreshments, and dancing to records. Al Groh, ’41, will give the assembled group a preview of "Here* to Ya,11 according to present plans. Having peeped in on early re­ hearsals, we feel that this in itself is incentive enough to attend Homecoming. You'll like what you see, but more about the show later. Saturday is a full day, with its tour of the campus, bigger than ever, and the annual judging contest. The contest always brings out all the dormant talents of dormitory students and various club members, and it makes the campus a gay and bustling place. From 5:30 to 6:30, Alums will be at Kingston House for a cock­ tail hour, following which a buffet supper will be served. The Big Game this year is with Hofstra College Saturday evening at 8:15 at Kingston Stadium. It promises to be one of the best tilts of the season, if it follows the pattern set last year at Hempstead, L. I., where the Flying Dutchmen, a real power in small college circles, squeezed by the second-seeded Colonels in the wan­ ing minutes of a thrilling game. es concerned with Homecoming, In order to help the committees j would you signify your intentions of cf coming by mailing the reservatlon blank found elsewhere ini this t-— issue?

From moving0 brisk comic ditties, the songs reveal great spon- 6 t&neitv and charm, and we feel that they are quite in the same league with sene of the hit tunes which have taken Broadway's heart in past years. The script, which takes the campus for its setting, is clever and packed with good lines. The review was conceived as a means to raise money for a schol­ arship fund. A worthier cause, especially in this significant twen­ tieth-anniversary year, could not be found. We hope the Alumni's enthusiasm and faith in Wilkes will pay dividends where they'll do the most good—in the future of some deserving youngsters. Response to Tom's letter has been pleasing, Dipping into the envelopes, we find that the classes of 1944, 1945,, 1948, and. 1950 have taken an early lead In the "donation derby." The class with the best results, as well as the three largest individual contribu­ tors, will receive recognition in the program. People who are actively involved in our show—business manager, director, committee heads and members, actors, chorus members, dan­ cers, advertising people, a battery of others--have been very hard at work a long time. A lot of work remains, and there will be plen­ ty ox sleepless nights ahead. The participants have been kindling a glow Ox pride for weeks now, and it will be at Its glowino-est on the evening of November 28.

Response has been most gratifying.Evident- Time has not been available for a tabulation of the replies, nur random samplings seem to indicate that Wilkes people have bn* 1 very well for themselves. done More about the survey later. c & F STUDENTS TO GREET GRADS The Economics Club, whose prize-winning Parade of Progress -3 pictured in our last, has decided to invite former display was Commerce and t— Finance students to a get-together sometime in the Homecoming week-end, president John Kpnsavage states. Details still have to be worked out, but Interested Alumni may help things along by dropping a postal card to Miss Thelma Williams, Economics Club Secretary, in care of the College. If things turn out well this fall, the C & F gathering at Homecoming could very well be an annual affair. Perhaps other Alumni in various fields could institute like parties. We are open to ideas. CLASS AGENTS APPOINTED 48, The Loyalty Fund Committee’s Chairman, Joseph J. Savitz, ’’48, has presented the office with a list of class agents, appointed by him along with committee members Sallyanne Frank Rosen, *43, and Joseph B. Farrell, ’42. So that you may know who your agents are, the list is included. Agents will receive lists of their classmates as rapidly as we can get them out. Mary Heness Ward, *45 Thomas J. Toole, ’35 Gifford S.

Dr. Hammer, recently at Columbia University, may become co-ordinator for the Cooperative Program in Educational Administration, if local schoolmen accept the plan.

And, the new year promises a regular Alumni Bulletin which should draw us closer together. Our future plans call for many activities. Many of these are designed to increase our active membership. Once we have accomplished this, we can bet­ ter fulfill our purposes for existing, which are to serve our Alma Mater, to foster and maintain lasting fellow­ ship among alumni, and to provide for the continued growth of Wilkes. We are making plans for more chapters, and we plan to repeat the social affairs of last year with even greater success this year. I shall make reports to you on some of these activities at a future date. We must have as much help as you can give us to achieve all these aims.

But in order to continue the progress new dreams must replace the accomplishments so as to provide a constant goal. The above models of buildings are but one of the dreams that the administrators of the college have now. Someday, like the Wilkes gym and lecture hall, this dream may also come true. The models are of a proposed building that will provide I1 an audilorum, possible art museum and c* ’* one on the left will cost cr: ______ 2 „ c.ullurai center The — while the on the right will run about SI,000,000. lhe r_ ffir one need building is great so that the college such a to provide the community, as well may continue inVts'5 efforts as its students. finest in facilities and teachings, Another dream .uWi,h come true. that may s >. A team of resarchers working on studies SBMIWM in allergy and immunology have issued re­ ports on their two-year projects at Wilkes College. Two papers have been published M W; by the Journal of Allergy and a third is iff soon to be printed in a university press magazine. Shown above are, left to right, Walter E. Mokychic, now a student at Jefferson Medical College, and Dr. Sheldon G. Cov*^ hen, who conducted experiments that indicated certain types of strepto coccus infections could cause the development of r blood vessel and arterial diseases. The diseases, the researchers found, could be traced to the presence of an allergic conP v dition produced by growth of micro-organ) isms in the bodies of experimental animals. / ■ Dr. Cohen and Mokychic were aided in their role of streptococcus toxin anti-toxin by Dr. John F. Drapiewski, department of pathology at Mercy Hospital, who served as consultant in the study of pathological ■<a>material. Another paper published by the Journal of Allergy was written by Dr, Cohen and Dr. Charles B. Reif, chairman of the de­ partment of biology at Wilkes. Entitled "Cu­ taneous Sensitization to Blue-Green Algae," it deals with a study which found that pigments in some algae or microscopic water plants, were responsible for a type of "Swimmer's rash."

Wasi­ leski dwarfs buildings on the scale model of Wilkes College which he will soon com­ plete after more than a year of spare-time labor. Constructed on a scale of one-eighth of an inch to the foot, Wasileski estimates that the replica represents more than 1,500 hours of construction. J t The director of the Wilkes evening divi­ sion and professor of mathematics started his project more than a year ago when he made a model of _______ Barre...Hall, in which his office is located. SS-$. s^dytiV60*?60*'^ r WILKES COLLEGE Issued Monthly For Members Of WilkesBULLETIN College Alumni Asssociation ,---- Published monthly by Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Entered as second-class matter October 12, 1951. ai the post office ffice at Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, under the act of August 24, 1912, as amende u- •’ » act of August 4, 19 > H College Team Studies Allergies, Immunology i! ■8 ■ He says that he began Chase Theatre soon after that, and as he continued to add buildings to his collection, his hobby had outgrown his own home. At present he is working on the model in Barre Hall. No decision has been made as to its eventual resting place, but if re­ actions of students who stop by are any indication, it will be located where it can he on continuous display. Measuring approximately eight by six­ teen feet, the model is complete right down to the "Please" signs which keep absent- second-class r-“ QS ame»ded by the I minded students from wandering on the grass and the correct number of panes in each window. Only one detail has stumped Wasileski to date, but he will probably come up with a solution. He has not been able to simu­ late the ivy that covers many of the campus buildings. He has tried such devices as green paper on string, but results have not satisfied him. Wasileski estimates that he has used 100 tubes of airplane glue and 30 sheets of artists' board to construct the model. To make trees, he raids his barberry hedge for twigs of the right size and shape and adds sea moss for the foliage. There are 100 trees in the replica. "A large number of people," Wasileski said, "are surprised at the number of chim­ neys we have. It seems to prove that most people never look above the eye level.” There are 49 chimneys on campus, since many of the buildings were homes with fireplaces on each floor. Another observation that Wasileski has made is that many persons have no idea that the Wilkes campus is so big, either in area or number of buildings. Since the col­ lege is scattered along River and Franklin streets, there is no way to see it in per­ spective. Dormitory students are especially pleas­ ed with the model. Almost everyone who has seen it has pointed out his own room to Wasileski. The buildings are, left to right, along River street — Conyngham Hall, president's home, Barre Hall, Butler Hall, Ashley Hall, Chase Hall, Kirby Hall. Along Franklin street, they are — Sturdevant Hall, Pick­ ering Hall, and Gies Hall. Down in the middle of the campus are — biology build­ ing, president's home garage, lecture hall, Butler and Ashley anexes. Chase Theatre, cafeteria and Kirby garage. Out of sight are McClintock Hall, Sterling Hall, Weckesser Hall, Hollenback Hall and the gym­ nasium. Wasileski declares that when he finishes the project, he is going to take a long rest from his hobbies. The next thing he has in mind is a mathematical museum with models of all the instruments used in that science from antiquity. �Just A Few Notes On Old Friends... M.

Even Coach Ralston isn't glum over the initial set-back, and that, as every alumnus knows, is saying something. Both he and "Beacon" editor Ben Beers, '54, have told us the Bloomsburg game was a good one, and we'd as soon take their word as that of anyone else we know. From the local viewpoint, high points in the game down the line were reached when a series of passes to Bill Morgan and Mouse McMahon took Wilkes down to the five-yard line, whence Eddie Davis went over for a touchdown, and when, in the final quarter, ex-Marine Russ Picton, Colonel quarterback, shot a 21-yard pass into the end zone for the second Wilkes score. L > A Still later, Joe Kropiewnicki, form­ erly a stand-out on the diamond, justified our cheering section's trip to Bloomsburg by galloping 90 yards to the BSTC one-yard line. Only a penalty for holding kept the team from scoring again. Coach Ralston officiated at the marriage of the T formation and his long-favored single wing early this season. A marriage of convenience, perhaps, since Picton and Davis, the Colonels' two quarterbacks, are in­ timately acquainted with the intri­ cate working of the T. Among the newcomers who show considerable promise are linemen Cliff Brautigan, Glenn Carey and Gerry Wright, and tailback Davey Hughes.

"I got a good look at him when he came up on the flight deck and stood only a few feet away from me; and later on in the afternoon, I bumped into his entire party in one of the crew's mess halls, where he was enjoying an American hot-dog." Bill hopes to be home about the middle of October and expects to be on hand for the King's game. "Rail-Fan n Rides Hobby Into Print When a letter arrived some time ago bearing a "Wyoming Valley Central Railroad" letterhead and the signature of Bill Ellis, '48, we thought we smelt a news story for the "Bul­ letin." The Wyoming Valley Central sounded about as probable as the Beaver Meadow, Pompanoosic, and Western—especially since the letter­ head carried a sketch of the famed Toonerville Trolley. An inquiry produced tion from Bill that the i an explananameme "Wyoming Valley Central" L is at the moment considerably longer than railroad.

Next summer he expects to teach at the school's mountain chalet pictures of which looked especially attractive as we sweltered in our Chase Hall attic. 1 • ' Much impressed, the ordered a reprint—"aboutJ-aurel 300 LiCe — 3 copies, ii I remember correctly."

All of them speak French, and many are sufficiently advanced to profit from instruction in English. , A bit later Bill's expanded and r^ vised version of a Scranton Trans.’ Company history appeared in the "Headway Recorder," publication c! , the Washington division of the E.

Electric Railroaders' Association. j , Before assuming his present posi­ tion, Bob conducted classes in Eng­ lish literature, conversation, and grammar for both regular students and the general public at the Uni­ versity of Genoa, Italy. The adult­ education classes there were spon­ sored jointly by Genoese business­ men and the United States Informa­ tion Service. Some of his evening classes met in a dormitory used as headquarters by the Germans during World War II. Among his students were a trans­ lator who will soon bring out an Italian edition of "Peter Pan" and two businessmen who have since be­ come associated with Socony Vacuum in New York. nOtiiAl I. MILLER Small French and less Italian is io mere cl a stumbling-block to Bob Miller, '48, .han small la in and less Greek was to Shakespeare. The Bard, despite h’s lack of depth in their languages, managed to sur­ pass the ancients in comedy and tragedy; and Bob, similarly benight­ ed (he says), has succeeded in impar.ing instruction to Italian students and French-speaking boys at a Swiss school. Thanks to the urging of Dr. Mary E. Craig, chairman of the English de­ partment, Bob visited us during the summer with an account of his activ­ ities in Europe since June, 1951. Like his present charges, most of his students in Genoa were able to speak a bit of English.

But what is even more important is that Wilkes has not forgotten, m the recent spate of activities, her principal business. She is still seek­ ing to provide her students with op­ portunities to receive a sound educa­ tion, to develop all the powers of their minds. Now that the University of the State of New York has granted us provisional accreditment of our accounting course, all our curricula have the approval of three accredit­ ing agencies: the University, the Pennsylvania Department of Public Instruction, and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Second­ ary Schools. And our faculty have not left off striving towards the realiz­ ation of the liberal arts ideal, which effort has brought us and continues to bring us the only kind of recogni­ tion worth having—the kind we all desire for the College. In sum, this has been a good a good year, a very good year.

Accordingly we are soliciting ex­ pressions of your opinions on clubs , and funds. Won't you write to us— remembering, of course, that interest • alone is not enough: the requisite or­ ganization requires time and work.

From the alumni point of view, not the least important aspect of the pro­ gram was that it carried the name and fame of Wilkes and Wyoming Valley into millions of homes in the United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Europe.

"It would be much to n' sia's advantage to effect a u -his™ I union oj her raw materials with Germ —ian in. dustrial might," he said. "Russia's basic effort," he contin ued, "must be to keep Germany frOm ' joining the North Atlantic Treaty dr ganization." It would satisfy Russic to neutralize Germany, he pointed out. Dr. Shuster, who recently returned to this country from Germany, where 1 he served with the McCloy entour­ age, held that America can defend her interests in Germany by winning good will and advised against erec^ ing a foreign policy based on dis trust. To his contention that "Germany is the most anti-Communist country’ in the world—and there is no evidence that the Germans would modi­ fy that basic position," Brown replied he was "not on sure ground in em­ phasizing German hatred of the Communists. Anti-Communist reg- . imes in the past have made deals \ with Russia," he stated, adding tha I the attitudes of the German people will not be important if another dem agogue arises in their midst. Warm-up Period Stimulating ( ; Though the Town Crier's bell didn < | ring till 9, members of the audienc began formulating questions f°r speakers shortly after 8, when Mo^ erator Decker, playing the gadflygan to draw them out on th® ejLi Ring's topic.

The splendid turnout apparently pleased Town Hall, producer of the pregram, as much as it did us. Ac­ cording to latest reports from Presi­ dent Farley and Mr. Chwalek, the Town Crier and his retinue will be with us again next year. �'Mun "Wide Recayidtiw “ ■■ spring.

Tied in with local observances of International Theatre Month, the pa­ geant was also a convincing demons ration that the theatre promotes in­ ternational understanding. Jews, Negroes, Greeks, Swedes, Slovaks, Syrians, Poles, Lithuanians, Welshmen, Russians—all were there, apparently having the time of their lives. Their offerings ranged from powerful liturgical music to light­ hearted folk dances. Individual performances were woven into a meaningful whole by Alfred S.

Included among the gradu­ ates will be 16 alumni who left us last August and 29 more who finish­ ed up in January. It is pleasant to report that this year the Alumni Association has solved for the graduates the peren­ nial problem of where to go after commencement. Remembering their own bewilderment, local members of the outfit have decided to welcome 52s to the Association by holding a reception-dance for them in the Am­ erican Legion Home, North River Street, immediately following the ex­ ercises m the gymnasium.

Established by members of the Association last year as an enduring symbol of their attachment to Wilkes, the award is presented annually to the graduate who, in the opinion of a special faculty committee, has made the strongest contribution to the life of the College.

Elliot, instructor in eco­ nomics, has received a study grant from Case Institute of Technology, Cleveland, enabling him to spend six weeks in the Ohio industrial cen­ ter this summer studying problems in contemporary economics under six of the nation's leading economic thinkers. b Some time later Mr. Morris's phiz cegan to appear on posters he de­ scribed as "half as big as the door to Chase Hall" over an outsize ap­ peal to members of the Pennsylvania Junior Chamber of Commerce to "Join the Chorus for Morris." In the laboratory phase of the pro­ gram, called "Economics in Action," he will visit industrial plants and business offices to investigate the ap­ plication of economic theory to busi­ ness practice. He will also examine industrial methods of teaching eco­ nomics to employees with a view to adapting them for use in Wilkes classrooms. One of 50 college teachers -select­ ed from a group of nearly 300 ap­ plicants for the study grants, Mr. Elliot will be provided with board, lodging, tuition, textbooks, and travel expenses. They did just that: at a late April convention in York he became their president. In tendering our heartiest congratulations, we can’t help won­ dering whether the coming political conventions will force us to adver­ se for an admissions director in the next issue of the Bulletin.

The youngWilkes team was racked by such hareI hitting outfits as Bloomsburg, Ithaca College and University of Scran.on in its 1952 diamond wars, but came around in the second half of the campaign. It was a reverse on last season s team which started hot and ended cold, but then the current nine was as green as the outfield at Kirby Park. There just weren't enough vet­ erans to go around, but even the rookies showed plenty of promise by mid-May. The team, holding the baseball spotlight all by itself now that the Monarchs have dropped the game and the Wilkes-Bane Indians call Reading their home, opened against their Lackawanna County rivals, University of Scranton, to begin a 14game schedule. The total number of set-to's was further reduced when rain canceled two of the big games just before finals.

LUCKIES TASTE Published by the Office of Public Relations JOHN A. HOCH Director of Public Relations National Advertising Representative Don Spencer Company, Inc., New York, N. Y. AS THE WHISTLE BLOWS A brand new Bloomsburg State Teachers Col­ lege football team makes its 1952 debut under the lights at Athletic Park tonight, and Husky fans have their first opportunity to see the handiwork of the Maroon and Gold eleven’s new head coach, Jack Yohe, who served as Glenn Killinger’s assistant at West Chester for the past five years, replaces Bob Redman, who drove the Husky dog sled during the past five seasons Yohe, a confirmed disciple of the “T” forma­ tion, has come up with a bunch of fleet backs who run like the proverbial scared rabbits, and a rugged gang of linemen who are reportedly tougher than last year’s crack forwards. Knock­ down and drag-out scrimmages have indicated that the 1952 Huskies will ask no quarter and give none. Win, lose, or draw, this year's out­ fit is a scrappy ball club, ready to trade blocks and tackles down to the last whistle. Although many of last year's veterans will be answering the starting whistle tonight, at least two Freshmen gridders will be in key spots at the kickoff. Mike Lashendock. 148-pound Kulpmont yearling, will likely get the nod at quarterback in the Huskies deceptive "T"-powered offense, while hard-hitting Tony DiPaolo. 1951 Berwick High School captain, will prob­ ably be the starting center. Both lads cap­ tained their high school clubs to outstanding records last year. LS/M. FT- Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco COM,, Th« amirican tobacco company Otherwise, the starting Husky line lists Russ Verhousky and Charley Brennan, both Seniors and All-State prospects at ends; John Ncmetz, 1951 All-Teachers’ selection, and Don Thomas. 230-pound soph, at the tackles, and Ardell Zeigenfuse and Joe Glosek, at the guards. In the backfield, Coach Yohe will likely pick Bob Rainey and Bernie Mont for the halfback spots and Banney Osevala for the fullback duties. Fans should keep their eyes pealed for sev­ eral potential stars among this year’s Freshman crop — Jimmy Browning, lightning-fast Me­ chanicsburg ball-toter; Bob Bottorf, hard-run­ ning 165-pound full back from Bellefonte: Tom Shuey, a rugged tackle from Coal Township, and Tom Persing, an outstanding guard from Shamokin. Senior Dave Linkchorst will spell Lashendock at quarterback, while Fran Bidelspach, the Huskies’ 1951 All-Teachers guard from Sun­ bury, is slated to see action on the defensive unit. Space does not permit the mention of other Husky stars, but before the game is over Maroon and Gold fans will have seen most of them in action. Little is known of the strength of this year’s Wilkes College bail club, but Coach George Ralston always fields a tough, wel’-drilled. eleven that doesn't know the meaning of the word. "Quit.” The Ctlcnels will be using their usual single-wing form.non plus the "T" . and the key men to wsteh. will be Russ Pieton. former Hanover Township ace and A”-lIarm.

OFFSIDE HUSKIES' HEAD MAN Jack Yohe, the Huskies’ new football coach, is widely known in Teachers Col­ lege athletic circles, and local sports fans will get to know him much better as the 1952 grid campaign moves into high gear. Five years as backfield assistant to Glenn Killinger, the veteran West Chester foot­ ball mentor, have given the thirty-seven year old Husky tutor a wealth of exper­ ience in Teachers College football which should prove valuable in his new post. Yohe succeeds Bob Redman, highly successful Husky grid coach of the past five seasons, who resigned early in May to accept the head coaching post at East Orange, N. J. High School. It was during Redman’s tenure that the Huskies became a power in Penn­ sylvania collegiate football, romping to 38 victories in 42 starts and posting unbeaten, untied records in 1948 and 1951. © dsgs 22.

Yohe learned his football lessons at Jersey Shore High School so well that he became one of the best backs in the history of Lock Haven State Teachers College, where he graduated in 1938.

ROUGHNESS PILING ON World War II interrupted his career in 1942, and he served with the U. S. Navy for a period of 46 months, being separated in 1946 with the rank of Lieutenant Following his separation, he taught for one year at Upper Merion before accepting an assignment at the West Chester State Teachers College as assistant football and basketball coach. A confirmed “T” formation man, Yohe hopes to convert the single­ wing-minded Huskies to a “T” generated machine, but the personable young mentor is quick to state that variations will be made in the sys­ tem to fit available personnel. He is known as a stickler for funda­ mentals and conditioning—two hallmarks of Bloomsburg football since 1946. Jack, who is married, is the father of a future Husky guard—fouryear old Gary. The new Husky coach holds a master’s degree from Temple University where he is slated to complete all the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in the near future. " 'a 13.

JOHN, PUBLISHERS. Copyright A p/ lied For—1^02. �HE most destructive flood in the history of the Wyoming Valley was that which occurred on Sunday, March 2, 1902, the waters of the Susquehanna River bursting their bounds and flowing over a vast area built with houses. Deep snow covered the watershed of the Susquehanna and of the tributaries empty­ ing into it and this was suddenly melted by rising tempera*ure and a rain fall of over two inches. The melted snow and rain caused the river to rise rapidly and the ice to break February 28. All day of Saturday, March J, the water went up inch by inch and to­ wards evening the rise became more rapid. All of Saturday night and Sunday the current became greater, the maximum being reached at near mid-night on Sunday, when the gage showed thirty-one and three-tenths feet above the low water mark. The scenes of that memorable Sunday are indescribable. The entire flats from Wilkes-Barre to Kingston, including the village of Westmoor, were inundated, scores of houses being more or less under water. In South Wilkes-Barre most of Firwood was covered with water and the community which had sprung up there within a couple of years was flooded. Riverside, another picturesque settlement on the lowlands, was in about all portions affected, while Irving Park, on which there are not many houses, was also swept with the overflow. �The waters went over the river common and North and South River streets to the houses. South of South street most of the thoroughfares were under water over to South Main street, on which latter street boats were used below Sullivan street. West River street was a lake and on South River below South and on Carey avenue the water was four and five feet deep in places. Most of the streets in the area bounded by South street and the city line and by South Main and the river were submerged. In Plymouth, Wect Nanticoke, Buttonwood, Forty Fort, Wyoming, West Pittston, Kingston, and other settlements along the river the water covered the streets lying near the stream and surrounded the houses. Scores of families at Westmoor, Riverside and Firwood had taken warning by the flood of December 15, 1901, when those sections were also inundated and houses surrounded, and moved to places of safety, or else the record of disaster would have been more appalling. Others, however, did not take this precaution, and remained in their homes. The anguish they suffered on that Saturday night when the raging current became deeper and deeper about them will never be forgotten. During those long, dark hours, cries for help were heard here and there and men in boats, among them members of the Wilkes-Barre police force, went to the rescue of the imprisoned people. There were many narrow escapes, some of them of a most thrilling nature. Hundreds of people were taken from their homes during the night and on Sunday. �There were eight fatalities in Wilkes-Barre and vicinity so far as heard from— people swept from bridges, drowned while attempting to cross the flats, etc. Some of the fatalities occurred after most desperate battling with the maddened waters. The railroads entering Wilkes-Barre suffered incalculable damage, particularly the Lehigh Valley and New Jersey Central, and for a couple of days there were no through trains. Bridges were swept away and great portions of roadbed were washed out. It was months before the damage was entirely repaired. Wyoming Valley’s street car system was also paralyzed and it was a couple of weeks before cars were run regularly. Thousands of people flocked to Wilkes-Barre to see the sights and visited the flooded districts. It was most curious to see boats on River and Academy streets and other thor­ oughfares of like prominence, even on portions of South Main street. When the water had subsided there was in many places a scene of wreck and ruin. The streets were covered with mud. In houses where the water had entered the lower floors—and there were scores of them—there was a covering of mud and where furniture and carpets had not been removed they were destroyed. Foundation walls were in some instances washed out and the houses battered by floating ice. The damage ran into thou­ sands of dollars and had not the people profited by the inundation of a few months previous and removed their belongings from cellars and first floors it would have been very much greater. 1 �The Wilkes-Barre Record started a fund for the relief of the sufferers and it reached the sum of 52,089.78. The United Charities cared for dozens of families, finding shelter for them and furnishing them with provisions and coal before and after they were able to return to their damaged homes. Collections were taken up in some of the churches. The previous largest flood and the largest of which there is any authentic record occured in 1865. At that time the water reached something over a foot higher than the flood under consideration but there was not near so much damage by the 1865 inundation^ for the reason that where now there are thickly built communities there were then only fields. There were then few houses in the area now covered by "Westmoor, Riverside and Firwood. EUGENE T. GIERING.
