The dedication of the Pedagogue is never a matter to be taken lightly and
this year, as in the past, much thought and consideration was given to the decision
After much discussion, our choice fell to a man whose modesty was surpassed only
by his surprise on being informed of the choice. Needless to say, we found in our
candidate a scholar, teacher, administrator, and friend — Dr. Harry BircHeNoucn.
Dr, Birchenough received his AB degree at Cornell, Pd. B. at Albany, and
M.A. at Columbia. He joined State's faculty in September 1907, and has faithfully
rendered to our school 44 years of service
Dr. Birchenough, beside his regular teaching schedule, has been chairman
of the committee assigning examination groups, and a member of the curriculum
committee. At one time he was president of the Alumni Association, of which he
is at present still a member
To you, Dr. Birchenough, we owe our greatest respect and. thanks. You
shall long be remembered by all of us here who have worked with you and have
been in your wonderful classes.
To Dr. Harry Birchenough

SENIOR (LASS
So it's time for some other gremlins to
stick their pointed little heads into those green
beanies. Impossible ! 1 ! Nobody could fill our
SHOES. Why who else could —inyent a beanie
machine that would yield precious rivalry points
—or fail to elect a campaigner who ran on'Milk’
bottle caps —replace Sexy Toe Leivestro with
Sexy Knee Dooley (remember that Big Four
where Dooley’s skirt was shorter than Weather-
Vice-President by’s?) Could any other class win only one cup —
Rita Bissonette and celebrate it every time they had a party — or
be gallant enough to share their picnic food with
ants who hadn't even paid their class dues?
And “For Heaven's Sake” we put an end ition halinen tebe ic hieh!
to more traditions than ‘52 had rivalry points. ~
Those poor "55’ers will never see — Dorm Rivalry
with buttered bulbs dripping on blankets or a
‘rum tiddle-dee um tum’ sing where we frosh
really became ‘little frogs} crawling up and down
the auditorium — even our ‘Jolly Junior’ M.U.D.
was minus the traditional mud. But we thought
we'd start a few traditions too and ‘SHOE’enuf, we
did — lost rivalry two years in a row — and despite
McCarthy's threatening probes we gremlins boldly
displayed our red leanings in our Junior Prom
court and again on our last Campus Day.
Greetings to’
Well, ‘For Heaven's Sake’!
Then came the year when our battle cry
changed from “Through the Halls of SCT” to
“Through the Halls to Milne PT” — and with it
our last look at class banquets, text book lines,
senior-soph parties, peep holes in the wall oppo-
site the girls’ locker room, 10¢ minimums com-
mons ad infinitum — Of course, there's more to
"51's history but who wants this Ped banned in
Boston!

The Junior Prom of the Green Gremlins will always

and the clever decorations creating a true “Mardi Gras"

To many State girls, Christmas was not the important occasion in December.
Planning for the affair for weeks and importing their boys from all over the state
State women made ready for a gala and entertaining formal evening at the annual
Inter-Fraternity and Inter-Sorority Christmas Ball at the Ten Eyck Hotel. Co-
chairmen, Kuhlkin and Dunn, chose a “Winterlude” theme for the big dance.
Starry-eyed girls and smooth-looking men danced to the mellow music of
Harry Vincent. A spray of irridescent balloons brightened the ceiling and added
to the prevailing atmosphere of gaiety and grandeur. Couples greeted each other
with pleasure and sincerity as they saw more and more friends come to join them
for a good time. The thought in mind thatthe women were given three o'clock hours
only augmented the general spirit of radiating smiles and contented faces
As two a.m. was approaching, the couples made ready to leave; after having
spent a wonderful night of dancing. Having taken pictures at the Ball, many dates
assured themsclves and their girls of remembering the happy and full evening
which they had spent. It was a good preview of a Merry Christmas.

Now is the time for the traditional “remember
whens,” so 1, Sophless Snitchell propose to revive
your memories by laying before you the saga of
the Sophs. That's right — the Devils have sprouted
horns of experience. No longer do theirred bean-
ies brighten these hallowed halls, but Ihave
noticed that every once and a while they do put
in an appearance — slightly the worse for wear to
be sure, but still with the same spirited heads
beneath them.
The year got off toa talented start with the pre-
sentation of the Sophomore skit on Activities day.
The Devils also showed their proficiency for bluff
ing by extracting $$1 from the frosh, penny by
penny, through the sale of everything from park
benches to “Activated Bishsnorsmorfies.” (Don’t
know if an antedote has been found yet, but I'm

afraid that some poor Sophs will be of no further
use to their class. They wore themselves out ad:
the stuff!!)
irting from many a warning received
rs” last year, the class seemed
rather reluctant to follow that particular wz
tion, When, however, it was announced that only
three warnings had been issued by the entire
class, they began to load Myskania’s mailbox
daily. Incidentally, rumor has it that this year’s
freshmen are quite a unique bunch ing to
a Myskania ruling on a contested warning, they
st of necessity have eyes in the back of their
heads.
This is it — this is it ~ this is it — Ahh! — The

To the Class of 1951:
“Shoes” suggests the resemblance between the College and
the famous old lady who lived in one; her ‘so many children’
include more than ten thousand living alumni, and at times
this year the buildings have looked as crowded as the old
lady's domicile must have been. But the new Draper and the
new dorm make more room for everybody, and the many
alumni, far from confusing their Alma Mater so she doesn't
know what to do, are constantly helping her determine how
to do it better for each new class.
“Shoes” suggests a different parallel, too. Shoes are de-
signed to help people go places, to protect them from un-
necessary bruises, to beat a path for others. They reflect the
individualism of the wearer, even though many have a com-
mon pattern. In the last four years you have discarded shoes
too small, too narrow, too thin for the journey ahead. We
hope you've acquired new ones, individually fitted, now
comfortable after the occasional pressures of ‘breaking them
in,’ sturdy for the long road that leads from here. May they
carry you to your goal!

Waiting to see Dean Stokes is almost like
waiting in Grand Central Station — the
outer office is always so busy. The inner
office houses our gracious Dean of Women
— pleasantly receiving all those troubled
Frosh, organization heads with their inevit-
able problems about when and where to
hold the meeting, and hundreds of others
with problems equally important to them.
Always meeting the crisis with an encourag-
ing word of advice and a verbal pat on the
back — that’s our Dean Ellen.
If you've ever waited in the outer office
after being summoned to see the Dean, you
have an idea of what the condemned con-
vict goes through. However, after emerging
from the inner sanctum, you realize that it
wasn't so bad after all. Thank goodness he
always says that it's good for every student
to have flunked a course during his college
career! He’s proved that he plays a fair game
and always places his cards on the table.
Don’t chew the nails of those fingers of yours,
Dean Nelson will let you out early so you
can be home in time for Thanksgiving din-
ner.

The administration offices harbor a staff of officers who play
an unobstrusive but important part in the life of every State stu-
dent. We are first introduced to their work, when, as Freshmen,
we go to get our schedule. From that time on we may return to
the office for one reason or another, for these people are sympa-
thetic listeners. ‘“But my lecture notes don’t make sense!” “Could
I possibly drop the course?” “I'd like to change my schedule.”
“May we have special permission to switch hours?”
It is here that our college life is integrated to keep the careful
balance between work and recreation in our myriad of activities,
to help the welfare of each of us, to see that college is to us “‘a
preparation for life.”

The English Department is proud of the tra-
dition that few students leave without electing a
course in English. From the History of the Eng-
lish to Shakespeare, the only problem is what to
do with the overflow. Freshmen concentrate on
Composition and Speech; English Majors aim to
cover all phases.
No problem is so complex, nor any personal an-
ecdote that may serve to enlighten the work of any
author so trivial as to be lightly passed over; the
amazing triangle of Dorothy, William and Samuel
Taylor, Lamb’s endearing eccentricities, Mel-
ville’s symbolism, Boswell’s retentive mind — all
are explored. Movements and counter-movements
are studied; Chaucer's R ime Royal, and the Spen-
serian Stanza, pastorals, lyrics, narratives, epics.
Miltonic influences, traces of Platonism, sources
of conflict in Elizabethan drama which reappear
in later centuries; all are followed and traced
through the literary ages. Careful reading and
clear thinking enable both teacher and student
to study life through the study of literature.

Armed with microscopes, scales, test-tubes, and dissecting kits,
the students of the science department delve into the mysteries
of biology, zoology, physics, and chemistry.
The gross and the minute become known facts as the biology
student pursues his course. The incomprehensible equations of
chemistry become thrilling realities before the test-tubes and the

STUDENT
COUNCIL
1950 proved to be another active year for Stu
dent Council — they discussed, debated and often
settled the problems, large and small, of an ever
expanding Student Association. Like the prover
bial postman combatting snow, rain, and sleet, all
sorts of adverse weather conditions and outside
pressures, despite all, they meet each Wednesday
night in the Lounge at 7:00 P.M. (That is, of
course, those who get there on tin Most of us

aided by the officers of Student Association and
the student representatives of the hierarchy of
classes at State. Work is done largely through
committees, each member is in his proper niche.
Rosie, one of '53's pep machines, took minutes
throughout, despite a sprained finger, conferences,
and her many other extra-curricular activities.
Cahill arranged the assembly schedules, not with-
out some bad headaches, postponements, with-
drawals, too many programs and not enough days
Oh well, first come .. .
Then of course, came the affairs of rivalry
guided by Schultze, Robinson, Palmer, Clemente
and their rivalry committees. To prevent blood-
shed in the battle of the classes, they moderated
all sorts of problems ranging from pushball to
Big Fours. Standing committees? They've got one
for every type of problem, from legal problems
and contracts, to hot chocolate in the Commons,
to the question of universal keys. Smith mimeo-
graphed sheets of data on key costs of organiza
tions only to find everyone was happy the way
things were. On the other hand, Bennett planned
assembly sitting only to find you can’t please
everyone. Come holidays, come Dione collecting
money like crazy for reduced railroad rates.
Blazers invaded State with Baldino and Palmer
acting as models. Campus Chest Chairman, State
Fair Chairman, Conference delegates, all were
chosen in an atmosphere of seeking the proper
person for the proper job. The conferences netted
both wisdom and fun for the delegates going
State came back from Inter Collegiate Confer-
ence just a litle smug at the superiority of our
system of self-government as contrasted with those
of other State Colleges. Effervescent Eade boasted
of how State really had student government, not
a puppet system subtly directed by an administra-
tion, However, all was not work for the Student
Council members. They initiated the new Frosh,
with gleams in their mean eyes, to the rigors and
responsibilities of their new posts. They joked and
co-operated to accomplish many things, mostly
tangible too. Marquis for the lounge, bulletin
boards, alleviating the Milne rush at 11 p.m.
There were a few intangibles like the develop-
ment of just attitudes towards student govern-
ment. The most significant aspect of Student
Council is their earnestness. They tackle the min-
ute details and mechanical problems with the
same seriousness that they solve the more exciting
ones; they can do this perhaps only because their
constant goal is the good of the organization.

October again, and Page auditorium was filled
with the rustle of programs and the murmur of
music-lover’s voices. Expectantly they awaited the
president of Music Council, "C. J." Peretta, who
was about to open the Music Council Concert
Season with the annual Stokes-Peterson concert
At the end of the concert as the crowd filed
out, sorry that such a wonderful evening of musi
cal enjoyment was over, they previewed the next
program for which they would return in Novem
ber
This year, in commemoration of the Bach bi
centennial anniversary, Music Council presented
as guest artists the internationally famous Bach
Aria Group. This group afforded the State Col-
lege audience an opportunity to watch the per
formance of stars they had heard on the radio
and on the stage. The reception held in the
Lounge after the concert, making it possible for
the audience to meet these visiting artists, put the
finishing touches on an extraenjoyable music
evening
With two concerts on its agenda successfully
finished, the council started a gay New Year with
an assembly program of the college performing
ensembles
Music, Maestro
Our Ballet Corps
Then came another annual favorite — the op-
eretta. Like the Stokes-Peterson concert, this per-
formance is an integral part of the Music Council
season. In March, the operetta-group and the
orchestra co-operated in another rollicking Gil-
bert and Sullivan production, “Iolanthe.” This
performance, received warmly, as always, sang its
way into the hearts of the audience.
Meanwhile, before the season could draw to a
close, there was much technical work to be com-
pleted by the Music Council members. There
were the advance programs for the Tuesday re-
cording hours, where much pleasure was derived
even during an overcrowded week. The mailing
list was revised by busy try-outs; and, the council
constitution underwent a categoric revision.
Before long, however, it was May and time for
the all-college Spring Concert. Their lilting melo-
dies still floating in Page auditorium, the ensem-
bles bowed a close to the 1950-51 season.
It is evident from the past program and from
the still echoing ovations received by the per-
formances, that Music Council will return next
year to present its perennially popular program.

As the curtain rises we see the new president
(center stage) introducing the first committee
who begin the reports by reviewing the fall season.
Under the leadership of Phyl respectfully referred
to by her colleagues as Gavel Gertie, fall sports
were launched. Tennis and volleyball leagues
were formed and a new baby was added to WAA’s
cradle-roll, soccer.
Coach Garcia's valuable demonstrations added
veneer to the girl's techniques. (In sports, that is) .
In a day in October, peanuts, apples, and melo
drama welcomed the Blue Jays to the WAA. (pro-
nounced “way”). Soon, hockey was boosted to new
heights by the addition of playdays to the pro-
gram. States’ stars played hostess to the grim ones
from Green Mountain and to the savages from
Sage. After the scrimmages, as we mingled to-
gether in the Ingle Room, the rivalry of the field
was forgotten and our common interests created
new friendships.
The fall season was completed by our Coker
on November 28. The Janes in jeans took time
out from squaring their sets and munching car-
mel corn to witness the initiation of their new
frosh council members. On December 5th, State
sent the now famous ‘road runners’ on a mission
to Vassar. Among plaid scarves and red wool
knee socks and the extreme friendliness of the
campus the committee conferred with delegates
from colleges all over the state about mutual
problems. At their return they worked hard to put
to use the valuable new ideas they compiled.

The curtain rises on the second scene — snow
has fallen and winter sports are well under way.
Rices resounds with the tumbling of the tens and
the cries of the cocds, while down at the other
end of the trail aquatic artists are splashing. Two
other bouncing babies signed our scroll — Twirl-
ing Club and Modern Dancing. All in all, it was
a successful season,
Basketball season saw the invasion of the court
cruisers with the sneaky sneakers. On December
9th, State was invited to a basketball playday at
Sage. But the spotlight of the winter season cen-
tered upon the playday of the Four S’s—Skidmore,
WOMEN’
Sage, St. Rose, and State. From the bounce of the
first ball in the gym to the croon of the tunes in
the Lounge, everyone agreed it was a huge success!
Skis were stored, racquets dusted off, and even
the tennis nets began to bud providing the setting
for the final scene. The arrival of sunburned
noses, skinned knees and saddle sores was proof
enough that tennis, softball and riding had begun.
Spring sprees, held at Camp Johnston began to
steal the scene. To climax it all, WAA devoted a
whole day to complete relaxation. After chasing

The first sad note came with the varsity basket
ball team — it was to lose its first seven games be
fore posting a win. After beating the Alumni in
their pre-season encounter, the “Peds” went down
to defeat after defeat —all by close margins in
the waning minutes of the games, However, the
team felt that they would reverse the record in
the return engagements only to lose the services
of Pete Telfer and Don Krug after the Xmas
vacations. This blow hurt the squad which suf-
fered another defeat this time to the over power-
ing New Haven, Later, before a packed house,

The “Peds” had to wait until Potsdam invaded
Page Hall before they posted their second win
and win they did! 89-68. From the very start,
everyone knew State would romp and if Coach
Hathaway hadn't used his reserves, the Statesmen
probably would have posted the century mark.
Utica and New Paltz then set State down to de
feat — the latter by two points 61-59 as the services
of State's freshman star, Bill Walker, were lost due
to an injury
Bob Brown had taken over the job of holding
the team together and was, by far, having his
greatest year on the court. Besides being one of
the top scorers, his steady rebound work and ball
handling made Bob the outstanding player on
the team. Top scoring and beautiful defensive
rebounding made “Nate” Fallek one of the fans
favorite players and the hard-driving Paul Carter
won ovations that “brought the house down.”
Captain Jim Warden and freshman Bill “Hiram”
Walker rounded out the first five for the second
part of the season. Coach Hathaway was sure once
the team started on the right foot it would take a
terrifically powerful club to beat the “Peds.”
Unless the war hits State hard we can look to
the future with a bright eye —a very bright eye.

Campus Commission
There are nicknames for everything these days
but it is true that members of Campus Commis-
sion deserve the name of “‘Beautifiers of State.”
Ginny Norton, Grand Marshall, has the job of
keeping C. C. members on the go. However, much
of the work is done by the members without them
considering it a job.
Once you arrive in the Commons and your eyes
become accustomed -to the smoke-filled room, you
can easily find your way to the two coke machines
and the new machine that serves, not only soft
drinks but also hot chocolate. Now you can sit
down on a cold day and have a hot drink while
playing that long and arduous game of chess.
This improvement on drinks was made by C. C.
with the approval of Student Council.
The Big Clean-up!
Marshalling in Friday assemblies is a test of
strength for C. C. members. If it weren't for Kathy
Ryan, Pete Bon and a freshman try-out at the
Milne door and Bill Taylor at the Richardson
door, there would be many a broken bone during
the 1:30 rush.

lend their mathematical genius goes unheeded, as
there are few people who would like to tackle
Jackie's bookkeeping system.
Lost and Found finds plenty to do for Helen
Hagel or Alice Cohen. Many good buys are made
at the sales held during the year. Alice is wonder-

The Collegiate debate proposition for the
year was: “Resolved: That the non-com-
munist nations should form a new interna-
tional organization.” This topic (to put it
mildly) was maddening to work with, for
the constantly changing world situation
forced debaters to alter arguments often and
radically, even two and three times a day and
as close as ten minutes before debate time.
However, in spite of an uncooperative world
and certain organizational difficulties, De-
bate Council, with the enthusiastic leader-
ship of President Tom Godward, came fur-
ther into its own. The job of coaching for
the year was handled by James W. Shutt,
who received many hours of able assistance
from “Sparky” Vaughn. There was a great
new splurge of activity; the council wrote a
new constitution; and the season was suc-
cessfully climaxed by the installation of a
chapter of Tau Kappa Alpha, national hon-
LEADER
Godward
orary forensics society. It has truly been a
good year.
With the small nucleus of old hands
that made up Debate Council, activities were
begun this year with tryouts that produced
twenty-five potentially capable debaters.
Fight of these, all first-year debaters, im-
mediately demonstrated their capabilities by
winning the Hamilton Novice Tournament.
Capturing ten out of twelve debates, in this
first big tournament of the year, brought
State the unofficial title of “state champion”
on the novice level. To further prove their
merit, eight other beginners won six out of
eight in the Grand Annual Tournament at
the University of Vermont. The “new blood”
really earned its place in the sun!
In preparation for debates with other
schools, over a hundred practice debates
were held. In hunting for facts, opinions,
and other evidence, in the analysis of ma-
terials, in putting materials into ideas and
arguments, in evaluating arguments — and,
finally, in squad-clash testing of arguments,
many hectic, nerve-wracking, but thor-
oughly enjoyable hours were spent. The
total result: 110 individual debates with
other schools, 76 victories, and most import-
ant, participation by thirty-five State de-
baters.
Over half of the debates were away from
home — on trips that will be long remem-
bered. For example, the elation over the re-
sults of the Hamilton Novice Tournament,
the “short-cut” to Vermont that ended at a
hunting lodge miles back in the sticks, pecu-
liar eating places, mixed-up schedules, trips
to Brooklyn, Colgate, Cornell, West Point,
Champlain and M.I.T.— much happiness,
some disappointments.

Forum of Politics
This year has been a busy one for State’s Forum
of Politics. It sponsored more than half a dozen radio
broadcasts, made provision to hold another mock
assembly, and supported the World Student Service
Fund. We heard such a variety of speakers on cur-
rent events, as students discussing Dewey vs. Lynch;
Dr. Standing, Miss Newbold and a member of the
American Labor Party on the McCaren Law; a re-
port from our vice president on the activities of the
U. N.; a very heated debate on our foreign policy in
China; and Dr. Nielson on Toynbee's Cycle theory
in History. “Forum Flashes,” news events posted on
one of Forum's bulletin boards, kept students in-
formed of world-wide happenings. Posters on the
other board informed students of the discussion

Re: LOCAL STUDENT HONORED
Release: IMMEDIATELY
Miss Press Bureau, daughter of New York State
College for Teachers, Albany, has recently been
awarded an honor rating for outstanding per-
formance in Public Relations.
Miss Press Bureau, an old stand-by at State, is
a major in publicity and a minor in interviews.
Her major entails public relations for the college
and for the students through notices sent to local
and hometown newspapers concerning Dean's
List, elections, appointments, and other activities.
Her minor is devoted to guiding freshmen and
transfers who come to State for interviews by
familiarizing them with the college and acquaint-
ing them with other students.
She is an active member in the P. O., and be-
longs to the Hard Working Club on campus. She
has also received a B. A. degree in friendliness,
typing and efficiency. Her greatest asset to success
is her unfailing determination to complete her
job at all odds. Miss Bureau’s future plans are to
remain at the college.

1950-51—The midpoint in a century
pierced by the edge of conflicting ideas and
torn by the regimes of the free and the falsely
free. To young men and women of good will
who more strongly than ever respond to the
need for inter-group understanding, Inter-
Group Council and organizations similar to it
are a campus focal point. Extending on a col-
legiate level the work of such units as the Na-
tional Conference of Christians and Jews and
the B'nai B'rith, I. G. C. has sponsored semi-
nars, community service work and educational
campaigns to promote inter-cultural awareness,
and has brought within its province the young
adults of various ethnic and religious groups
whose ideas have formed the basis of free peo-
ple everywhere. Led this year by Carol Lebow,
I. G. C. again plans another active term for
next year’s incoming students.

The SCA — Student Christian Association — is
one of the three religious clubs on campus. It is
primarily a Protestant organization but is open to
and welcomes members of all creeds and faiths to
its religious and social activities.
General meetings are scheduled for every other
Thursday night and under the President, Anne
Braasch, 51, who has been ably assisted by Helen
Pilcher, Vice-President, Ruby Anderson, ‘52,
who doles out the cash so carefully, and Nancy
Worden, "52, the indispensable secretary, these
meetings are both inspirational and a source of
good fellowship
Dr. Frances Colby, of the English Department
here at State, is the sparkplug and best advisor that
we of SCA could have. It is to her that we owe our
success as a working organization; let us slip up
and Dr. Colby can always come to our aid.
Working behind the scenes are the various cabi
net members who keep the wheels of the organi

any activities. Among these, especially for our

Jacobus, '54—editor-in-chief, Claramartha Brawn,
51, advisor) is the newspaper printed by the asso-
iation and it keeps the members posted on the
conferences, council meetings, general meetings,
news and items of general interest
Bull sessions under the leadership of Ruby
Anderson, ‘52, have been held at Dr. Colby’s
apartment. These are super and have been won
derful at both the Advent and the Lenten Series.
1's Hop, a dance sponsored by SCA, is the
social activity of this sort and at
it is hoped that the dance will be
highly successful. Carol Jenkins, °51, is in charge
his undertaking
In March, delegates from our organization will
attend a conference sponsored by the Student
Christian Movement in New York State planned
especially to help meet the peculiar needs of reli
gion and questions raised by one in the educa
tional field
Chapel, last but by no means least, is one of the
greatest activities of SCA and in our Wednesday
noon services in the Unitarian Chapel, we all join
in the realization of the aims of the Student
Christian Association, a step along the road to the
Christian way of life

Running up the steps to Newman Hall, we
arrive just in time for Benediction, given by
Father Dinneen, the Newman Club chaplain
After Benediction, and a few words of greeting
to friends we encounter in the hall, the meeting
is called to order by President Brophy, and Father
Dinneen says the traditional Newman Club
prayer. Secretary Marie Adamo reads the minutes,
and we proceed to the important business at hand
We discuss the tremendous success of our Holy
Year pilgrimage to the Catholic churches of Al
bany, and Jack O'Brien tells us that our annual
Mid-Winter Hop was even financially successful
“Betty Cahill, as vice-president, will you contact
the News, to make sure that they announce our
retreat in plenty of time for the kids to sign up
The formal mecting is over, and Father Dinneen
introduces our old friend Father Walton, of the
Mill Hill Order, who tells us the story of St.
Theresa, and illustrates it with beautiful slides.
Yo our surprise, “the meeting is adjourned,” and
we all troop to the recreation room for cokes and
ping-pong
As we leave Newman to hurry back to our
dorms, we find that our feelings are not the same
as those which we had when we left for the meet
ing — in addition to the new knowledge that we
have acquired about our religion, we seem to be
more holy, more sincere in our beliefs. We know
that in Newman Club we have found a very im
portant addition to the education that we are
reoeiving at State, and we know that in Father
Dinneen we have a friend to whom we can turn
for any help or advice that we may need.
And so we settle back in our rooms to wait
impatiently another two weeks for the next New-
man Club meeting.

The Christian Science Organization here at State,
although small at present, is continually growing. Our
regular meetings are held every other week on Thurs-
day nights. A cordial invitation to attend our meetings
is extended to the entire student body and faculty of the
college. The meetings consist of readings from the Bible
and from “Science and Health with Key to the Scrip-
tures,” by Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and
founder of Christian Science, and testimonies of Chris-
tian Science Healing, together with experiences and
remarks on Christian Science. Just recently, the organi-
zation acquired a bulletin board and intends to use it
for distribution of free literature on Christian Science
for the benefit of the students and faculty. This litera-
ture will include The Christian Science Monitor, The
Christian Science Journal and The Christian ‘Science
Sentinel. The organization is also aiming toward hav-
ing its card in The Christian Science Journal. A book-
case is maintained in the Lounge where the Bible,
“Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” and
the other works of Mary Baker Eddy may be found.
It is the supreme desire of the Christian Science
Organization the the group will continue to grow and
to serve the college as it has in the past since its begin-
ning here at State only a few years ago.

HILLEL
Thanks to the generosity of B'nai B'rith and the
willingness of the students, Hillel is a part of the State
College Campus. Its aims are to create greater insight
into current social and religious affairs, and to better
relations among the religious clubs on campus.
With Barbara Stein holding the reins, Hillel began
the year with a freshman reception. Observing an intro-
ductory play, the freshmen learned what can happen
in Hillel!
Howard Rosman led Hillel in sponsoring the inter-
religious Thanksgiving service in the SCA chapel.
Among the other activities of the year was a joint meet-
ing with the Hillel chapter at R.P.I. and Russell Sage
which was a crowning success.
With the inducement of “lox and bagel,” Hillel Hall
saw tired but hungry faces one Sunday morning.
Another activity was an interfaith Barn Dance and
Supper headed by Morty Cohen during Religious
Emphasis week. With the coming of State Fair, brother-
hood was continued with all the religious clubs con-
solidating in a dart throwing venture.
This year saw Hillel with its own Hillel News edited
by Helene Patlen and a new advisor, Rabbi Harold
Shector. Under the leadership of President Barbar
Stein, Vice President Doris Brody, Secretary Dorothy
Lipgar, Treasurer Arlene Blum, Hillel forged ahead
in the year 1950-1951.

A strong democratic Israel means a healthy foundation for the Jewish com-
munities throughout the world. The primary aim of a Zionist organization is
| i} support for Israel. The function of I. Z. F. A. (Intercollegiate Zionist Federation
ofiel ole of America) is to stimulate culture on the campus. It must explain Israel — its
achievements and problems; the relations of the American Jewish Community to
Israel; and the compatibility of Zionist ideals with the democratic concept.
Parties, picnics, athletics, movie trips — that’s only a little bit of the program
sponsored by SMILES for those wonderful kids at the Albany Home for Children.
State Students thus get first hand experience in handling youngsters, and in bright- SMILES
ening up the schedule and routine of the lives of these kids. It’s a lot of work,
but a sticky kiss or a toothless smile from some grateful child is more than enough
to reward our strenuous efforts.
Smiles, literally!

In addition to personal study, group activities
included Friday afternoon Bible studies under the
direction of Mr. Cantel, narrator of “Crossroads,”
a Sunday evening religious discussional program
over WPTR, Thursday noon gatherings featur-
ing outside speakers such as Mrs. Ethel Barrett,
WPTR story lady, and Charles Troutman, na-

A Frosh Reception, presenting the movie
“Voice of the Deep,” was our introductory pro-
gram of the year. Teaching the children about
Christ each Sunday morning at the Albany Home
for Children was a fruitful and enjoyable experi-
ence for those who participated in this part of our
activities. An assembly program was sponsored,
fall and spring conferences were held with nearby
college:
conference at Syracuse University was
attended with its emphasis on missionary work.
Additional fun and fellowship were had at roller-
skating and bowling parties, Christmas caroling,
work parties at nearby Camp Pinnacle, and the
annual banquet.
To know Christ and to make Him known —
through individual through prayer,
through gatherings, through discussion — to that
end all our activities were devoted.

FRENCH CLUB
Voulez-vous aller avec moi? Or words to that
effect and we're off to French Club. The members
of French aiment les games et les chansons trés
much. It's fun to see staid seniors romping in ‘le
Prince de Paris a perdu son chapeau’ or ‘Sur le
point d Avignon’. They like to quiz themselves,
too, and spell each other down. The Freshmen
sit wide-eyed and mouthed saying only ‘oui’ and
‘non,’ but they come again. The lounge echoes
with their songs. ‘Madame la Marquise’ is a fav-
orite. And of course there's ‘Aupres de ma blonde’
(I prefer brunettes myself)! We all understand
the beautiful music of Massenet, Ravel, and De-
bussy. Nelson Eddy is terrific singing ‘Chanson
du Toreador’? Oooo, la,la, trés gai, le French Club

ish Club started its season with a bang! eed
Early in the fall, all the language clubs had a faasae
joint reception for both old and new members. cs
From there, we marched right into our successful
Christmas Party — and what a party. Mr. Munro, Ea
faculty advisor, played some Spanish records.
Then a group of students, led by Kick Jacobson 4
and Irene Brezinksky, sang the traditional Christ- A
mas song of Mexico. The evening was high- OF,
lighted by the breaking of the Pinata, which had | q
been filled with many small gifts. Raoul Nunez ie
added to the evening by telling us about Christ-
mas in Bolivia.
This spring, Pan Amigos will prepare an enter-
tainment program for the meeting of Spanish
Teachers of the Hudson Valley Area. Besides the
evening meetings, we have had afternoon bull
sessions, at the Boul, of course. Here, students
were able to use their language in every day chat-
ter and many found it very valuable.
All their activities have combined to provide
learning and enjoyment for Spanish students.
Hasta la vista!

CLASSICAL CLUB
|
The aims of the Classical Club have been twofold
this year. First, to enable State College students to
organize the Latin department into a social unit in
; L, which we may become better acquainted not only
if? with each other, but also with our faculty; and,
second, to enable us to consider the more interesting
phases of Roman life and customs, as well as topics
indirectly related to Latin study.
Our program started off in October with our good
friends, the French and Spanish Clubs. Everyone
had an enjoyable time, even if we didn’t understand
the French and Spanish songs we struggled through.
Subsequent meetings consisted of topics of present
day Italy as well as ancient Italy, entertainment and
refreshments.
With the advice of our good friends and teachers,
Miss Wallace, Miss Goggin and Miss Williams, we
saw Rome with all its majesty—and had fun doing it.

Math Club this year was under the dictatorship of Dan Taur-
oney. In the salt mine of Room 150 with all eyes peering down
upon him he called many meetings to order. The purpose of one
meeting was to acquaint members with the application of mathe-
matics outside the classroom. Mr. Gross from General Electric
gave a very interesting lecture on Quality Control. He explained SG
to us many applications of statisttcal measures in industry and
showed us how the theory of random sampling applied to mass
production.
Another meeting was devoted to the understanding of topology.
This talk was given by Mr. Wayne Palmer, a graduate student of
State. We are now sure of what are the inside and outside of two
concentric circles.
These were the highlights of this year’s meetings. The future
plans are so large one may even consider them fourth dimentional.

The Commerce Club is by no means “all play”

speeches by well-known men in the field of Busi-

Waa hoo! Waa hoo! Read all about it! The

kept the ball rolling and proved themselves
worthy of their success.
To get the upperclassmen acquainted with the

gymnasium. Skits were put on and “mush” was
served. The gala affair ended with the traditional

This eliminated the not and the noon

previous years.
The first semester saw the Kappa Delta and the

paint. Gamma Kappa Phi moved into their new
teepee at 1000 Madison Avenue. Chi Sigma

At Christmas time, the Greeks joined hands
with their Big Brother Chiefs and presented an

put on his best Indian suit and danced under a
cloud of vivid colored floating balloons to the
chants of Harry Vincent, his “Tom-Toms” and
his Orchestra.

The weekend of April 14 brought utterances
of shouts of joy as the individual aggregations
held their yearly merrymaking. Open Houses
were held by all on Friday, Alumni Luncheons on
Saturday noon and the individual formals at

Thus, the Greck tribes did it again! As in

The Council, made up of represen
all four fraternities, sets up standardi

smoker, and, with Inter-Sorority Council, pre

Christmas Formal
The Inter-Fraternity smoker is the official
opening of fraternity rushing and serves a two
fold purpose. By means of the Prospectus, the
freshmen are nan over-all re of the
fraternity situation, and, at the same time, the
fraternity members have an excellent oppor
tunity to get to know interested prospective
bidees. At this time, there is an opportunity for
the groups to show their wares simultaneously
and also to air their talents before the group
The executive positions of the Council shift

“So they went peaceably to bed, left all

“So they went peaceably to bed, left all
their cares to heaven, and fell asleep.”
Residence Council
President Joan Ahr Checks On Hours
Consultation
“Give me five minutes more, only five minutes
more,” goes up the cry from many a starry-eyed
gal as she approaches the door and the hand on
the clock approaches one (or twelve for you poor
Frosh.) Residence Council sympathizes, but what
can we do except decide whether it really was a
tidal wave that washed out all the roads between
Troy, Schenectady, Albany, and points south;
whether there really were police roadblocks on
Washington and Western; and whether your date
did or did not turn back his watch on purpose.
Presiding over the thirteen “iron-maidens” is
Joan Ahr, assisted by vice-president, Jeanne
Hatch, and Frieda Homer, secretary-treasurer.
“Herbie” Skidmore, Elinor Whyland, and Marga-
ret Edwards also enjoy acting like question-boxes
when some unfortunate mislaying of a few min-
utes draws them hurriedly together. Oh, well,
what's three months in a padded cell —it’s so
quiet and peaceful not having to jump up to go
out all the time.
Van Derzee Hall
After Dinner Chat
PRESIDENT
‘ Clarence Larsen
Reading last year’s report on that handsome old pile at State
and Sprague, you probably wondered about the other cubicle for
meditation on the first floor. This is laughingly known as the
“Game Room” and here you'll find any number of serious young
men meditating on whether to discard the jack or freeze the deck.
This room is also appropriately dubbed the “Louis Quattorze
Room” by the stripling practicing French vowels before the mirror.
Van Derzee’s sanctum sanctorum, however, is the pool room.
Who else can boast of an ivory cue ball? “Improves your game
immensely,” confides a devotee, shifting the cigar to the other
side of his mouth. ‘
The old order changeth, though. The Sage of the Second Floor
has departed and Hearts has replaced Canasta in our affections.
Phone calls have gone up and we sorely miss those rowdies burst-
ing in at all hours shrieking, “Got two nickels for a dime?” And,
alas, our position has been threatened by some bourgeois outfit
called Thurlow. But Van Derzee is still a grand old dump and we
Van Derzee Hall
Bremen
September came, the upperclassmen greeted
everybody with the “glad to be back” attitude,
they took a second glance and found forty-seven
capricious freshmen had invaded their favorite
abode. The large rooms had been transformed
into private suites for not one, not two — but six
freshmen! The “Beauty-Rest” mattresses in these
rooms had been removed to be replaced by the
latest style in “bunk-bed” accomodations, New
desks had been imported and a private study had
been established for the six “cell” mates. The up-
perclassmen making a survey of the dorm were
reminded — ‘twas but a slight change.
The fact that Pierce Hall still retained its
charm was conclusively proven by the appearance
“family”
back again. Beside her important role as Social
of Mrs. Rand, who was glad to see the
Director, she maintained her interest in student
problems, gave advice when needed, and was gen-
erous with her unique sense of humor.
The first occasion to christen the Ingle Room
was the President's Reception. The perfumed
room created an exotic atmosphere so typical of
other years. Everyone showed up in his best “bib
and tucker,” heels were higher, hats were the
vogue, and silks and satins reigned at the affair.
Besides accomodating the blind dates, the
strenuous ping-pong games, the open houses, and
the “Charleston lessons,” the Ingle was also the
place for the formal held in the Spring. Seventy-
five residents of the dorm attended this affair and
danced with their escorts in the midst of the
“Candyland” atmosphere. The clock struck twelve
and Barbara Van Horne made her appearance to
be crowned queen of Pierce Hall.
Although the social calendar was crowded,
Pierce was able to schedule three open houses.

The first one, held in the Fall, afforded the stu
dents and faculty the privilege of touring the
whole dorm. The girls showed their versatility in
the line of interior decorating — matched bed.
spreads, drapes and rugs, bulletin boards, ban
ners and souvenirs aided in giving the rooms a col
legiate, homey look. The visitors on their tour
were also shown the pine-paneled room and the
Green Room, which provide additional facilities
for receiving and entertaining guests.
The other open houses, held for. Statesmen,
were restricted to the Ingle Room. The latest
dance music was offered along with entertain-
ment, refreshments, and new acquaintances.
Other activities under the sponsorship of Pierce
Hall included a commendable athletic program,
directed by Joan Haggerty, and the venture into
the “theatrical world” at State Fair. Top honors
were taken with the winning of the softball cup
and Pierce's bowling team ranked high in the
league.
Western Hall
Offering competition to the other entries of
State Fair, Pierce presented a skit depicting the
Roaring Twenties entitled “The Bunny Hug
Review.” The cast, composed mainly of freshmen,
gave a realistic portrayal of events in a “Speak-
easy.”
The government of the dorm was in the cap-
able hands of Freda Homer, President. She proved
to those who were skeptical that warnings could be
issued for violating the rules of the dorm. The
social affairs previously mentioned were under
the direction of Viola Myles, Vice-President. Aliki
Apostilides, Treasurer, became well-known since
it was her duty to visit the girls for their dormitory
dues — not an easy job by far. Helen Agnello,
Memberat-Large, was responsible for delivering
the sign-out sheets to the Dean of Women. Of
course, these sheets could be eliminated in the
dorm since everyone was so punctual. (?)
Not all the activities of the Hall were well or-
ganized. Remember the leap-frog games played in
the hall, how the second floor phone always went
unanswered (everyone was booked up for the
weekends), the gab sessions held in the early hours
of the morning in the kitchenettes, the radios that
the girls tried to plug in the “johns” (there were
no sockets but the value of portables was soon
imposed during the
learned), the “martial law”
time of great crisis, better known as exam week,
and all the complaints at the dinner table? It was
— but an inspiring ye:

Sayles Hall to be inhabited by girls again!
What welcome words those were to 150 girls who
had been uneasily looking out their windows at
a very definitely unfinished dorm and wondering
whether the dorm field or the construction shacks
were to be our home for 1950-51. The news that
freshmen were to live six in a room in several of
the rooms didn’t bother us much, We were quite
willing to cooperate with administration and put
up with crowded conditions; why shouldn't we be
— we weren't freshmen!
It has been swell to have had another year in
Sayles, and now we look with pleasure at all the
sights we know so well. From laundry room to
third floor, each room has memories of the little
things that make up life in Sayles. There is Bru
bacher Lounge which is never empty and where
we had our Christmas Carol Service with Dr
Collins to read for us. The gym still echoes the
rustle of gowns and holds memories of its Jap-
anese garden decorations for our formal. Then
there is the dining room to which we all stumble
sleepily every morning without ever really having
known we were there, and where the waitresses
have the daily task of explaining what Krumbles
or Sugar Krisp is. Then, too, the dining room
brings memories of turkey dinners for Thanks
giving and Christmas and May Breakfast at which
the Seniors are honored.

Sayles Hall
As we go upstairs we see our house mother
Mrs. “Mac” standing on the landing chatting with
us as we pass. On first oor we still look curiously
at the rooms where six beds have rep!
and then pass on through the freshman dc
second floor where the Juniors dominate. Herc
you are likely to meet anything — goldfish, gup
pies, turtles, plants and even people. The only
thing which is lacking is a sufficient number of
freshmen to whom to address the traditional call
Freshman, answer that phone!” And so_ the
phone must ring unanswered, but over its noise
you may hear such comments as Cookie's “Does
anyone have a pair of flats with heels?” Here too
is our treasurer, Peg Smythe, in her eternal quest
for dorm dues, and the secretary, Kit Dando, who
has memorized the faculty list and knows better
than anyone else in Sayles Hall how envelopes
taste after you have licked several hundred. On
third we find most of the seniors and our presi-
dent Anne Braasch, making out late permissions
and industriously knitting. As we look over third
floor we miss Anne Bierly, our vice-president, who
deserted us in January to become Mrs. Ed Elliot
but we find her job well done by Jc Gates, who
replaced her. In the kitchen, however, no one has
quite been able to fill J. B.'s place as the last one
finished every night!
And now as the year is coming to an end, and
the new dorm looks suspiciously near completion
we have to think again of Sayles Hall becoming a
men’s dorm. Despite all our complaints we hate
to give it up, and many of us are still hoping that
some way we may be “grand old seniors” and still
the girls from Sayles Hall

Newman Hail
In September, Newman Hall found itself en-
riched with the vitality of many enthusiastic
freshmen. With initiative and fine house spirit,
they made their presence felt in all house activi-
ties. Their able assistance on the Faculty Tea and
all the excellent entertainment they provided at
the house “hen” parties will be hard to top by
the freshmen classes to follow.
When it comes to any house function, everyone
from Seniors on down “pitch” right in and give
all the help they can. Certainly this is the main
reason for our many successful activities during
the year.
Mail (male) Call
By far the biggest event of the year was our
highly successful first house formal. To the strains
of the music provided by Duncan Dunbar's Band
from R.P.L,, the girls and their guests glided gaily
beneath a star-studded ceiling. If hungry in the
least, one enjoyed the walk down the beautifully
decorated passages and stairs to meet head on with
& gorgeous November moon in a clear blue sky
And the comfort of the Bubble Room enabled the
dancers to enjoy each other’s company as well as
the music did their dancing
How can our date parties ever be forgotten?
Our party with Siena turned into an open house
with Siena, Union, R.P.L, Brockport State, Holy
Gross, and State. We had a few celebrities present
such as several basketball stars from Siena, and
the Brockport State soccer team, The doors bulged
with the 150 men flooding the rooms, and they

especially when several tried to leave by ascending
the stairs to the second floor
The date parties continued with State, Union,
and the N.R.O,T.C. unit of R.P.L. Oh, those
Navy blues!
The whole house was honored with the pres:
ence of Dr. and Mrs. Col
formal skit and entertainment which followed
ins at dinner. The in
was characterized by the humor and originality
which is possessed by the girls. Those sophomores!
Where do they find those stories about “Boo Boo”
and the "Jungle Hunt?”
The presence of our housemother, Miss Dal
ton, is not only realized when she has to remind us
of quiet hours, but also when her nimbleness with
the needle has helped fix that dress or gown for
an important date, Our traditional Faculty Tea
and Christmas Formal Dinner would not be the
ess they are with
it Miss Dalton’s originality
and graciousness. We all notice too that Miss Dal
ton looks forward to those weekly visits paid us
by the men of State, Siena, and R.P.L. with almost
as much expectation as we do
Long to be remembered are those long walks
and trips to Thatcher Park; not to forget tennis
in Washington Park, which ends another full
year for the girls at Newman Hall
