PROLOGUE

A key —a keyhole — a door! Four years ago

we were given a key which would open many doors.
We used this key, opened these doors and found
precious things — friendship, knowledge and
happiness. We worked and we played. We learned,
we loved, we lived. It is this, our living, which

we present here — a glimpse through the key-holes
in those many doors—in the pages of our PEDAGOGUE.

With deep respect and admiration, with a feeling
of pride that we belong to the great organization he
heads and with our assurance that we, as teachers and
as citizens, are backing him in his great task, we,
the class of 1950 dedicate this, our Pedagogue, to
the eminent educator, Dr. Alvin C. Eurich, President
of the State University of New York.

PRESIDENT OF THE STATE

Treasurer, Marie DeCarlo.

Contrary to popular impression you don’t have to dwell in a nest and
scratch for worms to belong to the class of 1950. All you need is an unusual
combination of wit, “know-how”, and zest for life. For the Indian summer
breezes that swirled around the red brick buildings of State that fall of 1946
blew in a really special class—the Blue Jays of 1950.

Do you remember? It becomes even fainter—the mild days and the
freezing nights of frosh camp and the first school day with its utter confu-
sion. We've » really come a long way since then—from rushing and rivalry
up to practice teaching. Remember BONANZA—we were so disappointed
when the red leg paint failed to materialize for the finale; our famous rivalry
song parodies that no one but the class of 50 could ever write; our banner

of blue which survived even extra banner hunts?

We ve gained new members along the way and lost some who were a
vital part of us. We've had our share of presidents—Dick Feathers, Tony
Pro, Sparky Vaughn, Bill Lyons. As a matter of fact, we've had our share
of everything—talent, beauty, brains, great personalities and above all, good

times.

This year was our year of “last” things. Our last Campus Day, with
beauteous Audrey Koch reigning, our last banquet, our last Moving-Up

Day, our last dance, our last party.

Although our college years have been only four among the many in
State’s history, and although we've had the same experiences that many
before us have had and many after us probably will, to us they are unique,
because they are our very own. So as all “grand old seniors” we say tare-
well to our Alma Mater with a certain sadness. Still underneath it all is a
note of gladness for not only do we have the joys of the future to look for-
ward to, but also the happy memories of the past to look back on — the

memories ot the class of 1950.

Our Freshman Campus Day Skit, “Kilroy Was Here’—Saltys, Trop, Caruso, Prochilo, Smith,
Freyer . . . Breakfast at the Boul started our Junior Moving Up Day ... “There is hope and
cheer abiding for every Senior here . . . Something new was added, 50's banner took its place
on the Commons wall.

President Bill Engelhart, Secretary Lois Prescott, Treasurer Ruth Breen,
Vice-President Joe Purdy.

Last May we of ’51 took another big step in our college careers—we moved up
another year and became the jolly Juniors here at State. Our ranks have decreased
somewhat but our spirit still soars upward. With a sigh of relief, mingled with dis-
appointment, too, we shed our cloak called rivalry, leaving our cast-off-garments for
the Frosh and Sophs to don. Growing up was a momentous occasion in our lives and
even poses a miniature problem, for we now stand in the middle camp—to gaze back
upon the past years with fond memories, and to look ahead with deep anxiety of
taking over the duties of the “grand old seniors”.

President “Willy” Engelhart was really out in front this year, proudly leading
us in all our undertakings. Then there was V.P. Joe Purdy and secretary Lois Pres-
cott, always bustling about here and there. Ruth Breen as treasurer kept our finances

CLASS OF 1951

In our role, as Juniors, we have had willed to us the care of the “new blood”—
the Class of 53. As wise and erudite beings that we now are, we were to let them
in on the ‘scoop’ or at least try to prepare them for the ways of the sophomores. Short-
ly after school began last September, we, graduates of the school of hard knocks,
started to prep our bewildered counterparts. How quickly they learned we were
soon to find out, with a glance at the Rivalry scores that they amassed!

On the more serious side of our agenda, we as the Junior Class, sponsored Junior
weekend, the big moment in our history. One of our own regal beauties smiled down
upon us from her shining throne, reigning as queen and surrounded by a court of ‘51
lovelies. It took a lot of blood, sweat, toil, and tears, but indeed was well worth it all.

Mindful of the good times had by all in the past two years and in order not to
let the past overpower the present, we sponsored two big Junior parties. And how
we proved that our spirit and pep were as good as ever! We'll all remember the ‘51
banquet in our third year at State. The Sky Room of Herbert's was really ‘greening’
from ear to ear that night. (We still have a sense of humor, too—or do we? )

And now, we Gremlins realize that it will soon be time to reform from our imp-
ish and merry pranks and face the tasks that lie before us. Which of the jolly elves
will be tapped for Myskania? Which Gremlin is to be President of all Student Asso-
ciation? We Gremlins hopped and skipped through a wonderful three years here
at State. Now we are beginning to settle down and hope that our little (?) students
next year will appreciate our numerous talents. But, after all, we know how green

we are!

Opening Night: “For Heaven's Sake.” A Little Bit of Heaven Moved to Page

Lnernnry :

Harv Robinson

September, 1949 came to State and with it returned those fa-
mous “yellow jackets”. Upon their arrival the biggest thrill they
seemed to find was acting as guides or “big brothers, or sisters’, to
the newly arrived frosh. They helped bundle them on to busses
and spent a weekend at Frosh Camp helping the “devils” to get
acquainted with State.

This was only the calm before the storm—of Rivalry, that is.
The bees plunged in with their customary enthusiasm. The very
first assembly found them in double lines from the halls of Richard-
son to the balcony stairs singing the frosh up to their “ivory tower.”
The bees found also that being divided upon the main floor was
not the most ideal condition for singing, but they kept at it with
their old zest.

Rivalry events were carefully planned by the king bee, John
Bowker, and his excellent committees. All the Bees threw them-
selves into the first showing of their strength on Campus Day.
Dozens of yellow jackets circulated throughout the Commons to sell
applications to Myskania or to fix up some frosh with his or her
dream in the date bureau. They topped off the evening with their
skit which told of the dire fate of Sophie Mores, who tried to win
the love of Ferdie Frosh.

CLASS OF 1952

Rivalry Events began to pile up, one coming on the heels of
another. ‘The Bees suffered their first loss in the entertainment
world, but came back fighting to get on top. The athletic events
followed quickly. The Bees fought their hardest, winning some
and losing others. All the way through breathless hearts and hope-
ful souls kept their eyes peeled on the bulletin board in the Com-
mons. Faithful groups of Bees appeared daily in the auditorium
for sing rehearsals. Songleader, Mary Borys, worked hard and long
in order to hear the words that the sophomore class had won the
“sing”. ‘The Bees went home for Christmas with the happy know-
ledge that the score was tied.

The Bees showed their spirit and generosity in other fields also.
They secretly felt proud at the job they did with their gifts for Smiles
at Christmas. They flew happily off to partake in the other activ-
ities offered at State, so that on Moving-Up Day, along with the
joy of becoming Juniors, and the sorrow of losing a wonderful sister
class, they carried with them the happiness of a job well done. In
their hearts were the memories of the good times had _ together,
whether working on an activity or the wonderful time had at the
banquet at Herberts that night in January, or the many little get
togethers of the year. Each bee in his heart made resolutions for

“bigger and better’ years to come.

From their first day at Frosh Camp to the last Rivalry event, the Red Devils have
really been in there pitching. Unaccustomed as they were to being at the bottom of
the heap, and finding themselves in strange surroundings and situations, and living
under crowded and in some cases unheard of conditions, these freshmen have shown
an unbeatable fighting spirit.

After wading through line after unending line at registration, pumping many
hands at many more receptions, writing seven or eight life histories of themselves, and
taking several tests which were obviously applications for admission to insane asylums,
the Class of ’53 was ready to make itself known at last at what turned out to be
Activities Day. Here they affixed their names to growing lists, most of them filling
up about twice as much free time as they had, but all showing an enthusiasm for
extra-curricular activities.

Of course, the Frosh cheered madly as their brand new banner was presented
to them, and they stood proudly behind it that night at the bonfire. Little did they
suspect that in another hour it would be gone, seemingly forever. They have not
and will not soon forget that mean bit of trickery.

Before they had gotten very far into Rivalry, they discovered that their friends
the Sophomores weren’t kidding when they said, “Wear those beanies,” for the Assem-
bly, was soon howling over the apologies of Thea Neth, Herb Davis, Richard Parise,
Walt Schneller, and others.

The first week of November saw the Devils engaging in heated campaigns to
elect their officers. When the ballots were counted, Ted McCarthy was found to be
in the keynote position, as president. Bill Ketcham brought down the Vice-Presi-
dential spot, while Marilyn Hiller won out as secretary. Tall Man Rudy Bove was
put in charge of frosh finances, and Jeanne Corigliano, Ruth Dunn, Richard Jacob-
son, and Graham Zeh were elected to Student Council. Although still bannerless,
with their new leaders before them, they next went out and walked off with the
Campus Day Cup.

53 has indeed made itself at home here at State. From their truly worth-while
journalistic venture—Pitchfork—for their splendid acceptance of defeat in the rivalry
sing, they've shown the ambition, energy, and sportsmanlike qualities that fore:ell a
class that will go far in its college years.

A key is neither good nor bad;
only as it is used does it have
value. Its goodness or badness is
in the purpose of the user, who
employs it for worthy or ignoble
ends.

This College exists to help every
student serve higher purposes
more intelligently and effectively.
Only as the doors opened here
lead into better teaching, more
understanding and_ constructive
participation in all the urgent af-
fairs of our time, do we, and you,
serve those purposes. The worth
of the College is in the lives of
its graduates.

Each of you has acquired here
instruments to open new doors for
yourself and for the students you
will teach. Those keys are valua-
ble only as you make them so, by
wise and effective use. The de-
terminant of their usefulness and
value is you.

We wish for you wisdom, and
high purpose, and success!

DEAN NELSON

Among the first to impress us at Frosh
camp, our “Great White Father’ becomes
an integral part of our college career. His
amiable appearance at the first assembly,
with his grinning observation about the
color in the balcony, immediately show us
his sincerity and wit. But he has his seri-
ous side, too, which many of us discover
in discussing our schedules and our schol-
arship or in receiving his helpful counsel.
Administrator, guide, advisor, friend —
Dean Nelson will remain one of the most

vivid memories of our years at State.

DEAN STOKES

State College’s claim to graciousness—
the grave but smiling woman whose charm
and understanding make us wiser merely
by their presence. She always lends a will-
ing ear to all our problems. Housing for
women, freshman orientation, the school
calendar, social organizations—all these are
her job but her interest lies in every stu-
dent and in every student's activity. Her
office symbolizes her attitude—“Enter with-
out knocking”. She is forever busy but
never too much so to talk to the confused
students who: daily cross the soft carpet
into that quiet room which is dominated
by the calm presence of our Dean Stokes.

Vice-President of Student Association,

Mary Eade.

There's a lot of business, sure, but there's
a lot of fun, too. All kinds of people wander in
and out. When meetings are in the Lounge
anyone from a Milne student to a lost graduate
student may assume that the august group assem-
bled there is one to which they belong. Fresh-
(something new and different for

Student Council) was really a panic—the frater-

men initiation

nity paddling influence was strongly felt, both
literally and figuratively! The novices were
quizzed on all sorts of minute points—from the
preamble to the Constitution of Student Asso-
ciation to their opinion of various members of
Student Council. Fortunately they were blind-
folded—perhaps that’s why some of the daring
answers were delivered with such aplomb! After

the nasty preliminaries came the social part of
the evening. The freshmen skit showed they'll
go far—on the stage, anyway. And the refresh-
ments were fabulous, too. Several members
later attended the Stokes-Peterson concert with
doughnuts protruding from their pockets—what
the sharp kids on the campus are wearing this
season!

The constant inquiry for cigarettes is enough
to upset the meeting, but even when everyone
has cigarettes there aren’t any ash trays—you
cant win. All business out of the way and
assembly set up for Friday, someone moves for
adjournment. Closing time ranges from eight
oclock to eleven, but it’s all for Student Associ-
ation and it’s for real!

Ohi:

Pedagogue—a magic nine-letter word to a certain group of State
College students. Sometimes you wonder if the peasants who cas-
ually pick up their Peds in the spring and riffle nonchalantly through
the pages ever realize how much work goes into it—the hours of
racking your brains for a theme, choosing a publisher, writing stories
and rewriting them, cropping pictures until there’s nothing left but
a pair of eyes and you can’t remember whether it was Dr. Collins
or the Junior Prom Queen. Or maybe they don’t know what it is
to run all over town for an ad so you can pay for the Ped.

But by and large it’s all great fun for the Ped staff—traipsing
after Dick to all the big events like State Fair—so that someday when
a little boy picks up a tattered copy of the Pedagogue 1950 a quaver-
ing voice can say, “See, Johnny, that’s when your grandfather ap-
peared in the Stromboli Follies—” banging out stories and captions
on the P.O. typewriters and trying to imagine how it feels to be
Campus Queen so you can describe it in one brief phrase. Making
up the “dummy” (no, not Bill) is fun, too, and what a relief to see
it gradually grow larger as more work is done. Yes, it’s work, but
it’s rewarding work, and there is no member of the staff who looks
at the finished product this spring who will not be reminded of the
fun it was to work on the Pedagogue 1950.

garage (otherwise known as Ceci’s
Folly) where you can find the
latest exchange papers.

Tuesday and Wednesday nights
there's transformation. Weird crea-
tures, most of them wearing jeans,
turn the place into an uproar.
Cracking the whip from the Junior

DRAMATICS AND
ARTS COUNCIL

The house lights dimmed . . . the
curtains went up on D & A’s first perform-
ance this year—Margaret Webster's troupe.
After the shrew had been entertainingly
tamed and Caesar had been superbly slain,

Miss Webster's cast sipped punch and
nibbled sandwiches in the lounge.

We Pedguins hadn’t finished flapping
our fins over the first success when these
D & Aers started changing scenery and call-
ing rehearsals for their second offering.

The title was simply “The Northeastern
Collegiate Drama Association Festival.”
The cast-

Host was elegantly enacted by... .State’s
D & A Participants... ..R:P.L, Union,
Hartwick, Russel Sage, St. Rose.
Mediator at this discussion where they

analyzed each others plays... .Pro-
fessor Smith

Guest speaker at the dinner....Gene
Rosenthall

The man who came to dinner....Dr.
Collins

The scenes—
Scene I: Dinner at Keeler’s and plays at
Page Friday night.
Scene II: Visited rehearsal at Play House
and more plays at Page on Saturday.

There was one act D & A rehearsal over
and over this year. The set was always
a smoke-filled room and the props consisted
of three new ashtrays and peanuts con-
tributed by President Kay Noonan. It
was deceivingly called “Council Meeting”
and nobody ever knew whether it was go-
ing to be a comedy, tragedy or a mystery.
It was a mystery when only Secretary Bob
Donnelly and Kay turned up (Bob forgot
to tell the rest of the council where and
when the meeting was, but a least he told
there was was one). It became a tragedy
when Treasurer Georgie Maginess noticed
expected expenses exceeded the budget.
Star of the tragic versions of the meetings
was Henry “I’d-love-to-do-it-but-I-don’t-
think-’'m-capable” Smith. It was comedy
whenever the following characters played
the role of themselves: Marty Downey,
Joan Perine, Joe Purdy, Al Stevenson,
Joan Farrell, Earle Jones, Tink Wittpenn
and ‘Tony Prochilo.

So the final curtain of D & A’s 1949-
1950 presentation fell amidst the roar of
well-deserved ovation.

Council Seniors: Dick Feathers, Tink
Wittpenn, Earle Jones, Joan Farrell,
Tony Prochilo.

Spring Production “The Corn Is
Green”: Rhoda Riber, Jeanne Valcho-
vic, Dan Rider, Marj Lyons, Joe Cru-
cilla.

The shrew is tamed at the Ale House,
the Margaret Webster production,
“The Taming of the Shrew”.

The orchestra entered the pit, tuned up and
then settled down. Maestro Bobby Smith raised
her baton and Music Council’s symphony began.
Their opening selection, the annual Stokes-
Petersen Concert, was warmly received and as
the tremendous ovation still echoed thru the halls
the musicians turned their music sheets to the
page labeled “Irapp Family Singers’. ‘This
novel and extremely appealing group brought
that Christmas spirit right onto the Campus and
captivated their audience not only with their
beautiful music but with their equally beautiful
personalities.

MUSIC COUNCIL

Next on the program came a pleasant hour
in assembly when the choralettes, women’s and
men’s choruses presented us with their rendition
of several musical selections. The March winds
blew in the operetta ‘Patience’ with its twenty
lovely maidens and its equal number of dragoons.
As usual Gilbert and Sullivan provided as much
fun as Spike Jones’ version of “Tea for Two.

The ‘orchestra’ had some more arrangements
to offer us, so once again the baton raised to
conduct them in ‘Spring Concert’—one of May’s
hey days. What a wonderful one it was.

The orchestra council had encores every
week when they invited all to join them in
listening. We heard many great classics during
those noon hour sessions with the vic.

Music council also made sure their men were
the best dressed in town for their closets were
filled not with old family skeletons, but with
brand new tuxedos. But the finale must come—
so the baton is lowered—and another harmonious
year came to a close.

Music Council Seniors: Audrey Koch, Jewel Pollak, Joan Erlandson, Rusty Willsey,
Joe Crucilla, Barbara Smith, Jean McNeil.

Secretary Jean McNeil and Vice-Presi-
dent Joan Erlandson converge on busi-

ness by the keyboard.

You are, no doubt, familiar with the exper-
iences of Greece’s Amazons, but have you ever
heard about the antics of State’s Amazons?
Well, way back in September 1949 Queen Holl-
iday began her rule. Her first official act was
to call her council to the court and notify them
of the arrival of the ‘Devils. The kingdom
hustled to make ready for the red ones and finally
in October the reception took place. ‘There was
a hot time in the ole’ town that night as their
glasses overflowed (with cider) and food was
spread before all and games and entertainment
ensued.

The Devils liked this royal treatment so much
they decided to hang around a while, and just
to make sure everybody was aware of their arrival
they ran ahead of the wagons on the hay ride,
and rang all the doorbells they came across. ‘The
news traveled fast and even two ghosts in the
haunted house down the road from Miss Hohn-
ston’s farm heard about it. But when they went
to extend their greetings, they were drowned out
by forty blood-curdling screams and the patter
of eighty party-weary but frightened feet. (Back
at school the next day rumors had it that those
two ghosts were well known to all).

No sooner had they recuperated from the
games and tricks and food of the hayride party,
than Queen Holliday decreed that another mer-
rymaking be prepared for their benefit. So up
popped the ‘coker’. This wasn’t another festival
where the participants just square danced and
round danced till they were too weary to go on.
It wasn't just a big feast where they downed
tons of coke, popcorn, peanuts, crackerjacks,
bromos, etc. No, it was a highly ritualistic cer-
emony in which the girl’s manager and repre-
sentative were formally (and informally) initi-
ated into that high court called council. It was
a very touching ceremony—especially when those
hunks of ice touched Melvin’s and Aliki’s backs.
Then a nostalgic note was added as council’s
renowned hillbilly band played background mu-
sic (?)) and Queenie dubbed manager Melvina
and representative Aliki by tapping them with
a dirty mop that was laying around.

W.A.A. Honor Council Trio: Ruth
Smith, Ruth Holliday, Elly Adams.

Of course the Devils joined the daily routine
of the Glamazons as well as the party making.
Unlike the Greek Amazons our Glamazons’
efforts weren’t devoted to alluring and captiva-
ting unsuspecting males Cit says here). Instead
they were busy holding council meeting every
week to ‘discuss’ contingency funds and ammend
the constitution. One of these amendments
definitely established that it’s a woman’s world
by turning the election of class representatives
and managers over completely to WAA, thus
eliminating the male element which was present
when the classes held the election. The amend-
ment changed the number of sports seasons from
four to three.

Each one of these seasons was packed full
with a variety of sports and all the fun that goes
with them. In the fall the outing club went

gerty, Vice-President Elly Adams, Treasurer Phyl Harris.

mountain climbing with some ‘unsuspecting
males’ from RPI’s outing organization. While
they were cavorting around on the hills a con-
tingency of Glamazons went down in the valley
of Chatham to strengthen the fortification known
as Camp Johnston. While there they fought
the battle of the clean-up and, although they
lost their campaigns against the mice and the
cresole brushes that successfully attacked their
hair and the locked pump house that forced them
to haul their H2O a half a mile uphill, the event
was not a complete failure. For they succeeded
in capturing a male in his four wheeled convey-
ance to transport them from the capitol to the
battle ground and back again.

This defeat illuminated their weakness so a
strenuous program was established in order to
rectify these faults. A volleyball league was
formed and although some of the best nights of
their young lives were spent on that court, the
rest of the teams didn’t seem to mind losing the
cup (an imaginary one) to those clowning
‘Pushovers. Tennis, cheerleading, and riding
were also enthusiastically pursued but while ar-
chery and hockey were at their peak an ally
moved in and encamped on the training field.
For a while the eager women warriors tried
knocking the ball around on the staked out
obstacle course but they finally conceded and
let them build the new dorm there.

The fame of the accomplishments of the
Glamazons was so widespread and impressive
that 30 colleges decided they wanted to hear
more about it. So they came to the NYSFCWAA
Convention. (CAII that alphabet soup boils down
to the New York State Federation of College
Women’s Athletic Association). On the week-
end of December 9, the delegates poured into
Albany and the underclassmen were poured out
of their beds to make way for them. The dele-
gates were kept moving with two banquets at
Herberts, business meetings where our own Mrs.
Holliday presided because State was automatic-
ally head of the group this year. Then there
were numerous interesting and prophetic dis-
cussions. But these gals weren’t the type that
would sit around a conference table and talk
about good ideas. No indeed, for these were
gals of action! And action was just what they
packed into their winter season's program.

There was much enthusiasm over the bowl-
ing tournament which boasted of the participa-
tion of 1] teams and there were 16 teams in two
court battles, known as ‘intramurals’ that weren't
the only cage engagements the gals had for there
were numerous playdays with other colleges.
While many of the population were dribbling
around the court others were ‘cultivating the
art of fencing’. One wonders why they sang
‘touché’ each time they scored—it didn’t seem
necessary ‘cause brother—if they touched you,
you knew about it. But then that singing must
have been comparable to the Amazons wailing.
At any rate it was just as effective for in the
beginning of the season council received a re-
quest from the male element to permit them to
participate in the sport. (Oh yes, it was ‘non-
chalantly’ granted—naturally.) Riding also be-
came co-ed about this time and tumbling always
was so you see progress was being made. The
so called ‘winter sports’ got a late start due to
the inclement climate but they were there, nev-
ertheless, in the form of skating, tobogganing,
skiing, and snowball fights.

Well, which was it a gutter ball or a
strike? .. . W.A.A. bowling.

In the spring the young “glams” fancy turned
toward softball, tennis, volleyball, archery, hik-
ing, and riding. There were also the successful
social functions such as Spring Spree where
awards, fine food and friendship were passed out
by the carloads.

As you may remember, those Amazons be-
came extinct, probably because they overworked
themselves trying to get a man; but no such
fate befell our Glamazons, and our story can
truly end ..... “And they all lived happily
ever afterwards.”

M. A. A., under the capable direction of
George Glenday, President, started one of its
most successful campaigns. Other officers for
the year were Teddy Bayer, Vice-president, Ron-
ny Rockhill, Financial Secretary, and Bob Brown,
Secretary. Not only to these officers, but also

to the rest of M. A. A. Council, composed of
Al Holliday, General Manager of Intramural
Athletics, and Frank Fay, Freshman Class Rep-
resentative, a great deal of credit should go.
Andy Rossetti was this year’s Manager of Var-
sity Athletics.

In the fall intramural football enjoyed one
of its most exciting seasons with the competition
in both leagues very keen. Harvey Milk, direc-
tor, carried on one of the most efhcient programs
State has seen in some years. Fourteen teams
were divided into two leagues. Potter Club,
defending champions for the last three years,
came up with its usual fine play to capture the
“A” league. Potter had some trouble in down-
ing the Angels and Beavers but went to the wire
handily awaiting KDR, the winner of the “B”
league. KDR and Suspenders battled down the
stretch for the honor of winning their respective

A LOL oh ACEI ROEOR OLS IEF PEO LEM APE AED

league and in the last game KDR, under the
direction of Bob Hausner, beat the Suspenders
13 to 7. KDR then went to play Potter for the
cup. Outside of Rivalry, never had State seen
so many rooters for an intramural athletic con-
test—cheerleaders, popcorn, firecrackers and what
have you. The game started with KDR holding
their own, but Potter, with Paul Carter doing
some fine quarterbacking, went in fine style to
roll out a 37 to O win and retain their football
supremacy.

For some time it has been thought that State
was in need of a fall intercollegiate sport, and
a two man campaign in the persons of Dave
Wetherby and Bill Reynolds brought a soccer
proposal to the halls of State. Much to the
amazement of M. A. A., the resolution “breezed”
through Student Asociation, and our first soccer
team, a green but aggressive one, did well for
its first year. They tied ABC and lost to Union,
ABC, Siena, and RPI by close margins. The
future certainly looks bright for the whole soc-
cer program. ‘This year’s varsity was composed
of Paul Bullock, Jack Burke, Arnold Dansky,
Bob DeRue, Dave Duncombe, Jack Farley, Tom
King, Paul Kirsch, Jim Marsiglio, Raoul Nunez,
Bill Reynolds, Ben Santora, Dean Strickland,
and Dave Wetherby.

The Tumbling Club resumed action in the
fall with President Frank Digregorio, Vice-pres-
ident Ed Sikora, and Secretary, Mary Borys.
Their half-time entertainment during the bas-
ketball season was something to see (the acro-
batics, that is). The Rifle Club also began op-
erations about this time.

Late in October Coach Hathaway called out
the hopefulls and veterans for basketball practice.
Many key losses due to work, transfers, and grad-
uates found the Peds with a young but highly

one with such teams as New Britain, U. S.

This year’s team operated around veterans Cap-

Jim Coles, and “Killer” Kaehn with Bob Haus-
ner, and Teddy Bayer coming up from last vear’s
Jayvees. Newcomers to the squad were Bob
Tabor, Bob Jacoby, and Max Fallek. State's
style of play was a switching man to man de-
fense while the offense constituted a fast break
or slow roll with variations of plavs centering
around the forwards. Coach Hathaway was
very pleased with State’s performance in a scrim-
mage game at RPI. After the Peds got the
range, RPI was only one or two baskets ahead
for some time.

lars, quarters, nickels and even cents. ‘The board
is made up of six members—student economists

guard over all of it with Midas-like concern.
Throughout the year, the Board relents a little

various organizations and projects sponsored by

after long and often heated debate over the

DEBATE COUNCIL

With reams of important looking papers
stuffed under their arms and train tickets, hotel
reservations, and cough drops overflowing their
pockets, Debate Council started off on another
year of fervid discussion, didactic argument and
heated debate. Under the keen perception of
President Ed Kurlander, 51, the Council pre-
pared its agenda for the coming year. The coun-
cil itself, consisting of thirteen members, works
under the guidance of Mrs. Carrino to gather
their materials, assign their debaters, and make
the endless arrangements necessitated by the
goals established. Within the limits of the
budget provided by the Student Association, De-
bate Council this year participated in a grand
total of seventy-five (75) debates and emerged
victorious in sixty-one of them—a wonderful
culmination to the strain and toil of the prepara-
tion and undercover work of the long weeks pre-
ceding each debate.

The topics debated by each team are chosen
by a national committee and this year the Staters
limited their work to themes of national interest
and importance as, for instance, “What Should
Be the Policy of the U.S. Toward the Far East”
and “The Barden Bill”. Our debaters traveled to
other colleges, where they spent their visits in
all types of housing from quonset huts to luxur-
ious hotels (?), Gincluding the Student Union

102

Building at Cornell and the athletic barracks
at West Point). Debating teams from other
colleges invaded State College Campus too.
Visiting colleges often brought four teams and
debated six different State teams in one day—
that was enough to tax anyone’s energy!

Debate Council also strove to establish a
Hooper rating this year. ‘That is, they presented
their viewpoints to the public via the air waves.
Appearing on local radio stations they debated
such topics as “Ihe Barden Bill” and “What are
some of the problems of Speech of Children?”

Representatives were also sent to major tour-
neys throughout the year — events adding to
their supply of humorous tales as well as to their
already heavy agenda. (They'll never forget
backing all the way down a certain snowy steep
in Vermont because of the lack of initiative on
the part of the old buggy). Noteworthy in these
meetings is the emergence of Vaughn and God-
wars among the ten best speakers at the Vermont
Tourney!

Members: Walter Farmer, Philip Malafsky,
Vickie Baldino, Helene Grossman, Marjorie
Farwell.

Forum is a clearing-house for political opin-
ion. [his year was an active year—in the world
—the nation, and in State’s Forum of Politics.
We went down to the lounge on Thursday after-
noons to find out what the rest of the world was
thinking—and what State students were doing
about it. We argued and pondered the pen-
sion issue, the Barden Bill, the State proposi-
tions. Opinions ranged, and we began to see
other sides and broader issues.

But politics is action as well as talk, and
Forum was action, too. This year, under the
leadership of Molly Mulligan, greater emphasis
was laid on the educational function of Forum.

In November, the first annual High School
Mock Assembly was held in the legislature
chambers. High School students from the Capi-
tol area schools met with representatives of
Forum to live government. The high school
students came well prepared. Their bills cov-
ered issues as complex idealogically as compul-
sory voting, as practical as codes for highway
protection. They “thrashed” it out in committee
rooms, and debated again on the floor of the
chambers. We were impressed by their earnest-

ness and their soundness. We felt a little awk-

ward ourselves—sinking back into the great Sen-
ate chairs—“supposing we were really responsible
for the laws of the state—supposing?”—until the
voice of a Columbia-Higher reminded us that,
after all, we were.

When the mock assembly was over, we had
learned a great deal about the governing pro-
cess, a great deal about problems of legislating.
We had more understanding and more respect
for both genuine legislators and high school
people. We had a great deal of admiration for
Paul Buchman, State College chairman, who
had planned and led this first experiment in
joint high school-college projects.

Forum has another function on campus—
more quiet but constantly as important. The
Forum “information” files in the library offer
current material on every aspect of the Social
Sciences. They are a source of pertinent infor-
mation for term papers, oral reports, or lesson
plans. Agencies such as labor unions, embassies,
political parties, and pressure groups are repre-
sented—covering a three year period.

The fourth function of Forum is “affiliation”.
Forum offers partisan organizations, on campus
and off, voice to the student body. Through
Forum, such groups as “World Federalists”,
“Young Republicans”, and “Students for Demo-
cratic Action” have found an opportunity to
voice their doctrines.

Who belongs to Forum and who can come to
meetings? A student tax ticket implies auto-
matic membership. Everyone belongs to Forum!

Student Christian Association is a fellowship
of students seeking to understand the Christian

way of life on our Campus and to correlate it
with and integrate it in the world outside
through constant inquiry, service, and worship.

This aim is the basic goal for which the group
strives throughout all their numerous activities.

Under the leadership of our faculty advisor,
Dr. Francis Colby, the officers—President Jeanne
Bowen, Vice-President Audrey Weller, Secretary
Helen Pilcher, and Treasurer Ann Braasch—
and the members of the cabinet, have directed
and guided the organization through another
successful year.

The “Searchlite”, the monthly newspaper,
familiar to all State College students, is spon-
sored by S.C.A., and through this, the organiza-
tion is able to secure large attendance at all its

functions and to provide the students every
month with a knowledge of its varied activities.
S.C.A. carries on an extensive program every
year. Among the outstanding events of the
year were the Frosh Frolic—the reception to in-
troduce the class of ’53 to the group and to re-
cruit future workers for $.C.A.—the combined
religious clubs’ picnic in October on the dorm

field, an event featuring singing around the
camphre—the annual Hillel-S.C.A. Thanksgiv-
ing Chapel and the Sherwood Eddy Capitol
District-Council-sponsored program. S.C.A. was
particularly busy this year, as in other years,
with the heavy schedule of the religious season,
Christmas. Remember the carol sing with New-
man, Hillel, and IVCF, and Christmas Chapel
produced by the toil of the frosh? Of course
on the agenda were also the initiation banquet
for freshmen, the Capitol District Council Depu-
tation Team program, the activities of Religious
Emphasis Week and the May installation ban-
quet. Io keep S.C.A. here at State well-in-
formed and progressive, the organization was
represented at the State Student Christian As-
sociation conferences.

The none-too-glamorous but indispensable
undercover work is done by various cabinet ap-
pointees. It is the main responsibility of the
cabinet and its members to promote community
projects, to sponsor both on and off campus ac-
tivities with students, to foster better student-

faculty relationships, to act as a guiding council
for all $.C.A. activities and help promote higher
ideals in all and to encourage a better Christian
attitude. A big job indeed! The cabinet work-
ers and their positions are as follows: Norma
Miller 50, Deputations (Capitol District Coun-
cil Secretary and Treasurer); Claramartha Braun
51, Church Mediator; Audrey Weller '51, pub-
licity; Ruby Anderson ’52, and Harold Vaughn
50, Frosh Club; and Anne Braasch °51, program
director.

tion and held every Wednesday noon in the
Unitarian Chapel. S.C.A. realizes that religious
participation is an essential part of the life of
each and every one of us and therefore has set
up this plan of chapel to enable all to have an
active part in such religious experiences.

Student Christian Association believes that
when the “outlook” is bad, try the “uplook”.
This has been its guiding motto, and it has tried
to help others to follow the same ideal, and to
imbue all with the Christian way of life.

Newman’s president Mary

Arden Lynch.

Newman Club is an integral and very im-
portant part of life at State College, particularly
for those Catholic students who are living away
from home. Through Father Dinneen, the help-
ful and pleasant chaplain, Joe and Jane College
get the spiritual help they would normally seek
from their parish priest. With the assistance of
the officers—Mary Arden Lynch, President, and
her cohorts, Brophy, Cahill and Kloser—Father
Dinneen makes Thursday evening meetings
something to remember. ‘Iwo very interesting
series of lectures were given at Newman Club
this year. First semester Father McDermott
spoke on Catholic Apologetics or the reasoning
behind the Catholic faith. His lectures were
not only interesting and vital to all students,
but also punctuated with Father McDermott's
inimitable humor. He has had many amusing
experiences in his teaching and priestly careers,
which he interjects into his more serious dis-
cussions of religion to provide his large audience
with many laughs at all meetings. The topic

The traditional beginning of every
Newman meeting—Benediction of the
Most Blessed Sacrament in Newman

Chapel.

for second semester was Scholastic Philosophy.
These lectures were given by Father Walton, an
English priest. Father Walton is in the Mill
Hill order which is mainly missionary in activity,
but he has taught and therefore understands all
too well the problems and difficulties that con-
front young students in their daily college life.
Father Walton did much good in helping all
Newmanites to gain an understanding of Chris-
tian philosophy and indirectly a working in-
dividual philosophy of life which is necessary
in attaining any purpose or goal as teachers.
The regular Thursday evening schedule starts
with Rosary and Benediction in the Newman
Hall chapel, continues with a business meeting
and lecture and ends with dancing and occa-
sionally refreshments—if the balance in the treas-
ury allows it.

For its own members Newman Club holds
periodic Holy Hours and a Communion Break-
fast on Mothers’ Day. The Diocesan Council
of Newman Clubs really got under way this

{
'

year in planning a unified program among the
clubs in various colleges around Albany. State's
representatives on the working committee of
this group was Jerry Brophy. Several social
meetings were held with the other colleges who
are members of this group. The R.P.I. meeting
was typical of these area get-togethers. Buses
were chartered by those colleges outside of Troy
and large delegations representing Oneonta
State, Skidmore and Union as well as State were
present. Ihe Sunday afternoon meeting started
with a speech by Father Rooney, Co-adjutor of
the Albany Diocese. Tim Shea of Union, presi-
dent of the combined groups, then gave a brief
resume of past events and outlined plans for
future meetings. Business having been satisfac-
torily disposed of, the festivities began. A light
repast of tea and cake was served to all and danc-
ing was enjoyed by the favored few who had
friends in the crowd. The Newmanites returned
home inspired with zeal for greater activity and
eager to return for the next conference. The
Newman News was revitalized this year with
some success. Not a glossy affair like the State
College sheet, but an informative little news-
paper including helpful advice and the Catholic
viewpoint on national and world events. There
were many problems connected with the publish-
ing of the Newman News. The greatest misfor-
tune was the accidental burning of all copy for
the first issue. But, nothing daunted, the eager
staff reassigned topics and started out again. The

next problem was the make-up. Would it be
better to have a four page folded issue or a two
page unfolded one? All difficulties were finally
surmounted and the presses (Commerce Depart-
ment typewriters) started rolling. Results —
fabulous! Perhaps someday Newman Club will
be competing with the Evangelist!

HILLEL

Dan Ganeles

Hillel of B’nai Brith, Gideon Lodge is the
Jewish community on the State College campus.
Its aims are twofold—to create greater and more
sincere insight into current social, religious, na-
tional and international affairs and to better rela-
tions and cooperation among the various reli-
gious clubs and sects on campus.

Under the able direction of President Danny
Ganeles, the freshman reception began a pros-
perous year for Hillel. This inaugural program
was designed to familiarize students with our
organization. Next on the agenda for 1949-

fun doing it.

108

1950 was a joint picnic sponsored by the religious
clubs on campus. A bird’s eye view of Chris-
tianity and Judaism was presented by various
club representatives and this served in bettering
group understanding and relations.

Among the most popular activities of the year
were the lecture on marriage and its meaning
and a program on sex education which drew a
capacity crowd. Two films and talks by Miss
Osborne, Dr. Gould and our friend and _ ad-
visor Rabbi Moseson made this program not only
informative but interesting.

Religious Emphasis Week included a radio
program and daily informal talks in which Hillel
cooperated with S.C.A. and the Newman Club
to make this a really successful event in the year.
State Fair also furthered our inter-faith relations
when the three religious clubs consolidated in a
gigantic business venture. Yes, we had a finger
in that peanut and popcorn booth.

President Ganeles, aided by a laudable group
of officers, a wise advisor and interested and co-
operative members have truly made this a great
vear for Hillel—both socially and religiously.

Where even business meetings are fun!

Does life have a purpose? Does my religion
work as well as the African native’s or the Chi-
nese philosopher’s? Is his religion as good as
mine? Does it make any difference what I be-
lieve? Why does God allow war or suffering?
Can we know that there is a God? What hap-
pens after death?

Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship tries to
find answers to questions like these—intelligent
answers which are real, practical, and complete.
And so the functions of Inter-Varsity are aimed
at how to make these answers fit into a college

the Leper” as told by a medical missionary. And
more than these—a faith that’s practical, even
in times like exams—that’s been the basis for
real friendship—that’s been our greatest gain at
State.

I.V.C.F. activities were carried on by this smiling
portion of State's student body.

SMILES

President Sue Panek has a
conference with the _ other
officers.

“Me nursemaid to a bunch of kids?’—and a
mighty fine nursemaid he proved to be. Grant-
ed these State people are versatile, but more
than that, there is a genuine interest in chil-
dren evident hereabouts. State is now the
adopted parent of the children at the Albany
Home, the result being mutual satisfaction for
both and “Smiles” all around.

Under the able direction of Sue Panek, the
organization is attempting the impossible, name-
ly, to satiate the insatiable appetites these chil-
dren have for personal, sincere attention. The
situation calls for parties, picnics, and perspira-

tion—a time-proven method of getting results
with children.

Gifts from State, Santa disguised as Joe Cru-
cilla Cin case any children are listening) and a
“biggest, bestest” electric train made the Christ-
mas party the number one event of the year.

Also featured were picnics with delicious hot-
dogs roasting in the open, escorted groups to
State Fair, Monday night basketball, and after
all leading home weary, contented little people.

So, you have to stand on your head. Could
there be a better reason?

Now that’s what you call liv-
» ing up to a name! The Christ-
a mas party at the home.

The activities of the Student Facilities Board
this year centered mainly around Student Facili-
ties Board Activities, and a fund which the
Board controls. Also of importance was the dis-
cussed erection of a Union for students in the
new dorm now under construction.

Confronted with the titanic task of delving
through the old but slightly used records of
Student Council in quest of exact wordings of
motions old and new, which originally set up
this fund, this group unearthed some of the
most earthy items concerning things like stipu-
lations connected with special contributions and
things.

As yet, the room allocations to the various
organizations is still on the allocating stage, but
this year’s Student Facilities Board has laid the
groundwork for student participation in the
future.

The group is composed of two seniors, two
juniors, one sophomore, and a faculty advisor
and Treasurer of the Board. ‘This year the
Chairman is Al DeCesare and he has been ably
advised by the Board’s good friend and Faculty

Advisor, Dr. Ralph Beaver.

Maggie Hosking, Phyl Har-
ris, Jerry Dunn and Herb
Holland took care of the fa-
cilities.

MATH CLUB

President Ruth Marschner called the meeting
to order. The members put aside their math
books and listened to the reading of the minutes.
When these were adopted, the treasurer’s report
was given: there is exactly 61c in the treasury.
Next, one of the members gave a brief two
hour talk on “How to Bisect a Line Segment.”
This was accompanied by a movie of the same
name. Another member presented a report in
which it was indicated that this had been a most
successful year for Math Club. Plans for a
party at the next meeting were discussed. It
was decided to have a topology party and do
mathematical puzzles that spell out the names
of the new officers. Refreshments will be cook-
ies and ice cream in the form of geometric fig-
ures. [he meeting was adjourned, and everyone
rushed to the board to work out the latest brain
teaser; there are three nuns and three cannibals
one one side of a river... .

FRENCH CLUB

French club has a tete a tete in the cold, cold snow.

Dan Tauroney, Rose Mary Lessard, Marjorie Hills and

President Ruth Marschner make things add up for the
Math club.

La séance se réunira! With William Kir-
man wielding the gavel and Vice-President Mary
Elizabeth Macksey, Secretary Joan Miller,
Treasurer John Knitt as his efficient cabinet,
French Club has mixed business with pleasure.
Madame Krail, who recently arrived from Paris,
has attended all the meetings, telling about
French people and their customs. Group parti-
cipation is a major goal of the Club, and enter-
tainment includes the singing of French and
Canadian songs, voice and piano solos, and skits
and impromptu speeches. A play which will
be open to the public is on the schedule for the
spring.

Another aim is the acquisition of a facility
in informal French conversation. Not only are
the meetings conducted in French, but the
members have initiated a “table francaise” in
the cafeteria where all loyal members can be
seen at noon chattering away between bites of
their sandwiches.

COMMERCE CLUB

You can’t work on an empty stomach.

Commerce Club proved this maxim by hold-
ing their banquet early in the year at Herberts
and by accomplishing a great deal the rest of
the year. The guest speakers, Dr. Collins and
Clinton A. Reed, Chief of the New York State
Bureau of Business Education, were a great help
in starting the year off right.

Since their sponsoring of the movies “Les
Miserables” in the fall was so successful. they
became movie producers again in the spring.

They did take time out for fun, though, and
bowled ’em at the alleys. But they were soon
working hard again, preparing for the Business
Teachers Conference. There were exhibits,
luncheons, “Jury Trial”, reports on business
education to prepare. The results of their ef.
forts were felt within a 50-mile area around Al-
bany, since business teachers from that area
were invited to attend.

They climaxed the year with a picnic—well-
earned relaxation.

IZFA

The goal of Zionism itself was the estab-
lishment of a homeland for the Jewish people.
The primary aim of a Zionist organization is
support for Israel, as a strong democratic Israel]
means a healthy foundation for the Jewish com-
munities throughout the world. The corollary
should be the development of an understanding
of Israel and Zionism among the people of the
United States. The Intercollegiate Zionist Fed-
eration of America (IZFA) has been among the
first in the Zionist movement in developing an
approach to the new and important task of pub-
lic relations for the new state. The function of
IZFA is to stimulate culture on the campus.
With the news of Israel off the front pages,
IZFA must still accomplish the following aims.
It must explain Israel — its achievements and
problems; the relation of the American Jewish
Community to Israel: and the compatibility of

Zionist ideals with the democratic concept.

has started another year whirl-
ing on its way. Another sea-
son of Spanish Club for the
students of State College. Our
organization is designed to add
to our knowledge of Spanish
culture and to do it in a painless
way. Directing activities on
those Thursday evening fiestas
is Mary Calandra, rolling her
‘irs’ like a veritable native.
Since we ourselves cannot take
a whirl to Spain, Mexico, or
Latin America (lack of airline

of the fingers, Pan Amigos at-
tempts to bring these lands,
their peoples, and their customs
right to our doorsteps. In this
manner, our understanding of
the Spanish way of life is fa-

cilitated. At past meetings

PAN AMIGOS

Helen Moeller, bedecked in
costume and castanets, took us
to the bullfights and gave us
their interpretation of the
Dance of the Torreador, lack-
ing only Ferdinand himself.

Through the eyes of our cam-
era, we made three trips to
Latin America, seeing all as-
pects of the daily life of our
distant neighbors. A coquet-
tish dance known as “La Raspa”
was presented for us by four
pseudo-Spanish couples; — ah,
how flirtatious were those gay
senoritas in their billowing
skirts and low-cut blouses, at-
tempting to gain the affections
of their Don Juan partners!

At other times, were first

Some are even eating.

As an infant group, we started the year off
with a bang and a few bruises at the soccer
game against the Frosh. Sexy-toe Lievestro,
sporting open-toed sandals for the occasion, and
Speed Dumbleton comprised the male section
of the team, ably assisted by the female partici-
pants. Kay (this is such a farce.) Noonan, with
all the nonchalance of an expert, seated herself
in the middle of the field and calmly smoked a
cigarette as bodies fell on all sides.

The counting of ballots reared its ugly head,
as we found that the preferential system was
akin to Einstein’s theory on gravitation; some
wise soul imported an adding machine for just
such an instance, but even with math experts,
Holliday and Adams, ever-competent Webber
managed to foul up the works, and it wasn’t
until the wee-ee hours of the morning that the

MYSKANIA

last bleary-eyed members wended their weary
way home.

Convinced that our group abounded in all
sorts of (you should pardon the expression)
talents, the girls with the exception of the pro-
fessionals, Noonan and Riber, formed a basket-
ball team, spurred on by their cheerleader, Lyle
(with a hip and a hay and a_hoo-hoo-ray)
Walsh, while even-tempered Thompson, the
girl with the smile, kept murmuring: “This is
a business meeting—cut out the cheers!”

As for the future of this astute group, we have
all secured positions with the government testing
new K rations for the Pure Food and Drug Com-
mission (no reflections on the burnt La Sagna
or the gluey spaghetti of the year). We're all
sure that we'll go down in history as the group
of “iron constitutions.”

IRATE

It was a calm and peaceful first semester for
the Greeks of Stateland. Gone was the “Battle
of the Rush” and in its place was found an
atmosphere of leisure and calm where gradually
the friendship of the freshmen was cultivated
and won.

The Supreme Court of Athena met several
times to interpret the new law and determine
the change in the basis for friendship between
the Greeks and the Frosh. So great was their
task that the Council had to be expanded and
now each sorority has added one new repre-
sentative.

This year has seen much excitement among
the Greeks. Beta Zeta moved their kingdom
and now they occupy a beautiful new castle on
State Street. Psi Gamma after a hectic month

of rejuvenation emerged to become a gay land
of parties and festivities. Gamma Kap’s goddesses
transformed the lounge into a scene of luxury
and beauty with their formal ball.

Two of Kappa Delta’s Fair Goddesses and
the Exalted High Priestess of Chi Sigma Theta
reigned in the Queen’s Court while Phi Delta
lies in state, mourning the loss of its object of
affection and humanitarianism, a stray kitten.
In a far corner of Stateland you find the fair
maidens of Alpha Epsilon Phi in a perpetual
candlelight of service. It’s not tradition—just
the fuse blew.

Near the end of the semester a Social was
held for all the different goddesses and freshmen
in the Commons. To insure a pure Olympian
atmosphere all human males were banished.

Harris,

Riber, Vonada.

Dean Stokes and Margaret Hoskin, exalted
rulers of all goddesses, welcomed the freshmen.
while Demosthenes Riber extolled the praises of
the Greek letter groups. Hilarity prevailed from
the start. The evening commenced with the
“Hokey Pokey” and elimination dances. The
humorous part of Greek life was portrayed by

the Thesbians of the goddesses who were a

great success. Dancing including polkas and con-
gas followed and the serving of nectar and
ambrosia brought the delightful evening to a
close, much to everyone’s regret.

It was a profitable year and the Supreme
Court of Athena ruled equitably and well. So
live the heavenly goddesses in a spirit of gaiety
and friendship—Long live the Greeks!

FRATERNITIES

Inter-Fraternity Council is the central organ-
izing committee and governing branch here at
State College. Serving fraternity life and activi-
ties on the council are three representatives from
each fraternity—Kappa Beta, Sigma Lambda
Sigma, Kappa Delta Rho, and Potter’s Club.
Together with the President, Jim Warden, the
council members have worked throughout the
school year to keep fraternities before the eyes
of the students and make all their activities
combined and individually successful.

Among this year’s accomplishments is one that
is outstanding—the new regulation concerning
the rushing of prospective fraternity members.
By postponing this task until second semester,

INTER-
FRATERNITY

COUNCIL

Inter-Fraternity Council has thereby provided
more time for smokers and rush parties and,
most important of all, has given the Freshmen
men an opportunity to view fraternities from
afar and thus make an unbiased decision.

As in past years, the fraternities treated the
Freshmen men to a typical frat party, Potter
Club's “Twin Party’, SLS and their “Hill Billy
Hoe Down’, and KDR’s “Gambling Casino”.
The Freshmen men had been previously intro-
duced to fraternity life earlier in the fall at the
Inter-Fraternity smoker where they were enter-
tained by Al Kaehn on the accordion, by the
SLS choir, by Harvey Robinson’s clever im-
personations and Jerry Berger’s “stimulating?”
jokes.

The Presidents meet.

In the sanctuary of Dean Stokes’ office, thir-
teen damsels led by President Jean Hotaling,
Vice-president Edie Minch, and _ Secretary-
treasurer Regina Driscoll, work on the formula,
“Rules plus regulations equal peaceful repose.”
Conscious of their roles as bankers in time, they
dole out precious minutes as late permissions
for special dates. Proceedings are sometimes
surrounded with intrigue. Operations begin
with woeful tales—“My Mickey Mouse watch
just wasn’t up to par.”—“Grandmother begged
me to stay for another cup of tea.”’—first told in
the objective words of the house president. ‘Then
the “abashed one’ relates the tale in her own
colorful manner, complete with tears, groans,
and swooning. Lifted from her knees, she is
removed, and Judicial Board retires for a dis-
cussion of the case. What next?—a trip to the
mailbox and consequent rejoicing at work to be
brought up to date on that “campused” week-
end.

Who are they to decide on a campus?

Van Derzee Hall is located midway between
the entrance to Washington Park and Austin
Monroe's car. It is a fine old building consist-
ing of four floors and a Bendix washing machine.

Beneath the house stretches an endless series
of sub-terranean passages occupied by a small
army of ogres and the four witches from Mac-
beth. Their mad cavorting produces delectable
dishes which are promptly transported to an
upper room, fondly referred to by inmates as
the chamber of horrors.

On the main floor are to be found two cubi-
cles for meditation. The first and largest is a
Jong affair with velvet walls and small wrought
iron balconies overlooking the park. These serve
as observation towers for students interested in
Sociology, Biology, and various extra-curricular
activities. At the far end of this room are two
couches, a phonograph, a fireplace, and two
commerce majors who commenced a _ practice
set in 1932, misplaced 2c and have been there
ever since.

This rare chamber of Old World culture is
also the place where our house meetings are
held. ‘The signal for the meeting is the entrance
of the “Sage of the Second Floor” majestically
seated in a sedan chair, supported by four Ama-
zons captured in a naval engagement on the
park lake.

It’s a tight squeeze! Rindsherg, Wiley,

HALL

Gates, Helmer, Lehr, Rockhill, Kirsch.

Here are discussed such momentous events
as the annual open house (which consists of
being placed in a room with 400 humans, each
clutching a cup of coffee in one hand and a
plate of cookies in the other, while attempting
to shake hands and smile benignly); the Christ-
mas party (a poetic evening replete with the
exchange of glowing eulogies and the casting
off of all inhibitions); and the famed Spring
Formal (where roommates go unrecognized in
their ceremonial dress ).

The perfect place to call home—State’s man-
sion! That's Van Derzee!

More common sights are the weekday “steadies”
polishing off a bit of homework, “with both feet
on the floor”; a lindy before supper and harmon-
izing after with the broken rhythm of ping pong
balls in the background. State students know

the Ingle as the traditional gathering place for
the President's Reception.

Carpenter, Eade, Dionne

President: Margie Hills

At last we've arrived. From the distance
here, you get the full effect of the dorm, flanked
on each side by its five white cottages. These
are the frosh quarters—under the protection of
Pierce proper, where not a homesick freshman
can be found. A friendly and sympathetic house
resident, the cozy atmosphere, a touch of chaos,
and what better introduction could the Frosh
have to dorm life?

If you're not yet blinded by the porch light,
come, see the inside of Pierce. Facing you is our
prided green room, delicate and congenial. Now

which daily provoke the gamut of emotions—to

housemothers. With an uncanny sense of
diplomacy, she somehow manages to stabilize
the mixture of personalities here. We rest secure

A cigarette, a magazine, the preferred man in

stincts for relaxation full reign.

Yes, the winding stair is picturesque, but a
good look at the helpless, blind forms wending
their way down to breakfast in the morning and
youll wish you hadn't. It was fully redeemed,
however, the night of the spring formal when
we truly appreciated its height of beauty.

Ingle is short for party, dance, reception and
recreation room. Such memories here—R.O.T.C.

Mrs. Rand—always smiling.

You name it—

Let’s take a break, kids!

Now an intimate peek into the inner sanctuary
where the real living takes place. You’ve been
here before! Oh yes, we held open house that
Sunday. Not being able to recognize the rooms
now shouldn't be taken so hard. Stuffed ani-
mals, coke bottles, bulletin board paraphernalia,
hometown newspapers, handy jeans, battered
scuffs, treasured letters, crackers—they’re the
standard equipment of a livable Pierce room.

Press a button, a bit of imagination and the
elevator floats us to second floor. No, she hasn't
got leprosy, simply phone duty. Ignore the
playful screams, the be-bop, the phone buzzer

Chive short, ten long). In a few minutes it will
be quiet hours and you will see order emerge
from chaos maintained through the efforts of
the courageous councilors.

It takes a minute to become accustomed to
the thin air up here on third. Oops! Don’t
stumble over the bodies. They refuse to neglect
physical development and actually hope one day
to be able to twist their legs around their necks.

A final glimpse of Pierce Hall life at the door-
way—last minute goodbyes at five of one, late
comers running up the walk—all this adds up to
life at State’s Pierce Hall.

The best part of the whole day?

As you turn down Partridge St. from Western
Avenue, you are immediately aware of Sayles
Hall, which is named on post cards as a dormi-
tory for men. With the bustling activity on the
dorm field between Pierce and Sayles, the pres-
ent female inhabitants are faced with the pros-
pect of having their home suddenly lived up to
this post-card description.

In view of this, the 144 residents have pre-
pared a list of things to leave to the incoming
fellows. First of all, Mrs. Mac leaves her scrump-
tious apartment to the new house manager. Gene
and Chris have nothing to leave—instead they
are left with the prospect of living with 144 men
instead of 144 girls. As for the girls, various
individuals have little presents for the fellows.

President: Edie Minch

Fitzmorris, Wildman, Kibling, Battisti, Smythe, Braasch.

SAYLES
HALL

Kit Dando leaves her three turtles—Theta, Chi
and Oscar—who had his name changed from
Mac to Oscar by Mrs. Mac. Other “live” things
that will make Sayles new residents’ lives inter-
esting are two guppies and three gold fish, who
couldn't stand to be taken away from Sayles.
Edie Minch, House President, leaves the tradi-
tion that a house meeting shouldn’t be carried
on in a too serious manner. Almeda Kibling, the
treasurer of this noble institution, hopes the
fellows are more successful in collecting dorm
dues than she, and the frosh on second floor
gladly will the job of answering two phones.

Family Portrait.

Sayles girls will leave happy memories behind
them when they leave the rustle of gowns at the
Sayles Hall formal, the many parties with turkey,
and all the rest at Thanksgiving and Christmas,
the Halloween party brightened by such cos-
tumes as those Siamese twins, the May Day
breakfast, the reception for the frosh, which
brought to light the talent of °53, the open
house, and the song written by the game room
girls which they sang at dinner the night before
they left.

No longer will we have to cope with the
showers which never seem to work, the hours
of waiting for a Bendix or an ironing board
which is going to be surprised to find itself used

to press pants instead of a sophisticated black
dress, those infallible chimes which always sound
just as one is turning over for another forty
winks, the prospect of walking down two flights
of stairs to the mail boxes, and finding no mail
for yourself, and the rooms with all the light
plugs in the wrong places. Sayles girls aren’t
complaining, however, for we'll hate to leave
these essentials of life at Sayles, too. There is a
selfish hope in the heart of the true Sayles Hall-
ite that 1951 will see an unfinished dorm. But if
fate wills otherwise, she knows that the fellows
will carry on the Sayles tradition of being the
“bestest” in as many ways as possible.

All State students are anxiously awaiting the com-
pletion of the new dorm—but not the “St. Maryites.”
Those who dare to call St. Mary’s home will tell you of
all the fond memories they have of the place—such a lot
of heat, ventilation and sudden failure of lights. But
they never complain. In fact, theyre unofhcially known
as State's Silent Sufferers! After all what other dorm
has professionally landscaped mud or women anxiously
waiting for phone calls which are a few hours overdue.

Despite these few inconveniences, the dorm has always
had a lot of spirit. Many of you will remember the St.
Mary’s Halo, the paper published exclusively by and for
St. Mary's. Then there’s the Angels, one of the best
teams competing in intramural sports last year. For the
first time this year and unfortunately probably the last,
St. Mary's is represented in the Pedagogue. This has
been brought about through the efforts of an imaginary
organization called the “Board of Governors’—which
consists of Frank Andreone, Jim Cafaro, Al Di Cesare,
John Duffus, Paul Filippi, and George Glenday.

Everyone agrees hell miss good old St. Mary’s—
because things never were as bad as they seemed.

Jovial King Neptune descending upon State's
landlubbers, struck the waves with his trident
to announce his great festivities—a grand ball
to be held in Davy Jones locker, locally known
as the Colonie Country Club. This grand affair
fell in the windy month of March and King
Neptune asked none other than the Blue Jays
themselves to act as hosts.

From the depths of the beautiful sea bubbled
the melodious strains—the music of Mal Pappin
and his orchestra. Neptune's able assistants
under the guidance of week-end chairmen Ben
Jackson and Lyle Walsh worked long and hard
to achieve the striking effects of marine life. Gay
couples danced among the coral reefs, the fishes
and sea anemones.

Suddenly, amidst the gaiety and excitement,
a fanfare rang out. The ocean rolled back and
over its gleaming waves swept Her Royal Mer-
maid, Queen Marjorie Southwick, attended by
her four lovely ladies-in-waiting—Ellie Adams,
Joan Keyton, Audrey Koch, and Ken Thomp-
son! As the resounding strains of ‘A Pretty Girl
Is Like A Melody’ echoed through the hushed
hall. The Queen and her court made their way
to the throne where beautious Marge knelt to
receive the crown of red roses from Marion
Furlong, Queen of last year’s Prom.

Good old King Neptune wielded his royal
influence upon residence Council, with the
heavenly result that State’s damsels in all their

finery could explore the wondrous aquatic world
until three in the morning. Due to a lack of sea
horse power to convey his guests to the festive
occasion, King Neptune and his able hosts the
class of 50, provided taxi-cabs to supply ample
transportation. In order that the tiny sea horses
not be entirely forgotten, however, old Neptune
arranged to have a horse floating on each and
every program.

Thanks to the hospitality of King Neptune
and the cooperation of Davy Jones, 1950 climax-
ed their Junior Weekend with a truly titanic
affair, whose starry-eyed Queen and enchanting
setting will be long remembered by us land-
lubbers!

The chandeliers glistened and_ twinkled

was it the stars in our eyes that night of the
Christmas Formal down at the Hotel TenEyck?
Perhaps it was the smooth music of Steve
Anthony and his orchestra. Of course, the
thought of three o'clock hours was enough to
make every girl radiant. Ihe colorful decora-
tion, among them clouds of floating balloons,
helped carry out the gay Christmas theme. Jolly
Santa really gave us the Christmas spirit that
night.

helpers, who really made the Inter-Fraternity-

orchestra, ballroom, and chaperones. How
pleased they all were when they saw the crowds
of people that came to their long-planned Christ-

THANK YOU

At the conciusion of the effort put forth on a publication such as this, it is diffi-
cult to enumerate all the people and organizations that deserve a sincere thank you,

because there are so many. Actually, everyone at State merits my sincere gratitude
for providing the very best of subject matter. Due to this fact, the fault for any errors in
the book lie with the editor, and for these he sincerely apologizes. None the less,

there are some individuals and groups who gave outstanding assistance to whom I
wish to give official recognition here:

Jay Publishing Company, Inc.—to John Jackson, Randy Brown, et al, my grati-
tude for an excellent relationship of both business and pleasure.

Hague Studio—to Dick and Sylvia, for excellent photography and lively creative
interest.

To all the staffs, which did those numerous “little things” that are so necessary
and also those important tasks that are so vital, with a special mention to the senior
staff: Elise deSeve, Joyce Dodge, Audrey Hartman, Florice Kline, for their invaluable
assistance.

Earle Jones—who aided us in a difficult situation and came forth with some fine
art work.

Shirley McCuen—who stood with us through the storm.

The faculty for their splendid assistance in carrying out an idea of the editor.

To those individuals who gave the editor moral courage to carry out plans when
all seemed impossible.

Sincerely,

EPILOGUE

All too suddenly it’s over. We turn the key and lock
the door on four years of living, years crowded with mean-
ingful experiences—with fun and study, with laughter and
tears—years which are now a nostalgic memory. We end,
and yet we begin, for a commencement is a beginning. We
peek through the keyhole of another door we find ahead of
us—the door leading to the future. We see the world wait-
ing for us and we are eager for it and for the things we’ve
thought and dreamed about for four years.

With a lingering, backward glance we turn to what is
to come. With the past four years as our key we unlock
the door to the future. We go out from our college to take
our places in that immensely larger community—the world.
