“The time God allots to each one of us is like a precious
ptece of tissue which we embroider as we best know how”

—Anatole France

Li 1940 Pedagogue we affectionately and respectfully dedicate to Dr. Abram

R. Brubacher, an outstanding man, a beloved president, and a genuine friend.

He made his life a masterpiece of scholastic achievement and sympathetic under-

standing; his pattern was laid for us to follow as we best know how.

DR. ABRAM R. BRUBACHER

FRESHMEN

3 2 *

Having been collected from Oskwagachee, Mudhollow
Junction, and Bangup Corners, we found ourselves here—
at State. So what?

So we go to Freshman Camp. So we get pushed around
by the sophomores, and scowled at by upper-classmen.
But it doesn’t take us long to catch on. By the time schoo
starts we know pretty much what it’s all about—didn’t

we elect Tom Feeney as our president? And_ Shirley

Eastman’s a cute littke number—as our vice-president
she’d make a good date.

Comes Campus Day. And boy, do we show these kids
around here what a real class can do! Not only do we give

the Sophs the worst fight they Il ever see in pushball, but,

believe it or not, we put on such a beautiful stunt that

night—we win the whole thing and take first prize Now
what do you think of that?

And that’s not all—not by a long shot. Because you

see. there’s a lot more to come—a lot more. Just for
instance, we've got a Freshman basketball team this year
that’s really something. All we've got to say is, try and
beat us.

And speaking of athletics. we broke all precedent in

this place. Did you ever before hear of a Freshman team

I’ve seen greens of every shade,
I’ve seen greens of every hue—-
Olive. emerald, lettuce and jade,
Nile, aqua and greenish blue,
The green that covers the hillside
The greens that are bizarre.

But never have | seen a green,

As green as Freshmen are!

Feeney, Bradt. Eastman, Walter

entered in both the intra-mural basketball
and football leagues? Of course you didn’t—
we told you we were starting things moving!

We had a lot of fun one morning in assem-
bly, too. And we mean fun. Talk about
singing! Dottie Cox is one song leader who
really knows what she’s doing—and that
‘‘alma mater” we composed is really some-
thing! Of course, the Sophs won—but you
couldn’t expect us to break every tradition
here at State—now could you? And we like
to sing. Dancing around the auditorium to

the croaking of “little frogs” can be a heck
of a lot of fun if you want it to be. And we
wanted it to be.

Having talked to a cute little French
major, we found out what billet-doux means.
Funny Dean Nelson didn’t agree with us.
But we should worry—one of us managed

to grab five. It’s just as we said before.

that’s all. Anything we do is done right. See?

GAY YOUNG MEMO: ITEMS FOR A SOPHOMORE’S SCRAPBOOK

| cS O DH Oo M ORES Athletics: Haushalter and DeForest (once when Hattie

was on time) upheld the glory of ’42 on W. A. A., while

he-men Dickson and Graves, do the honors with M. A. A.

Banquet: The spring food-fest is a full success.

Campus Day: Soph Sweeties are swell! They outrun the
Frosh and shine as attendants and pages of the Queen.

Cheers: Lots of them for and from cheerleader Winnie
Baer. and favorable comments on the unofficial help of
Evie Doyle, who just can’t sit still if there’s something to
yell about.

Escapades: Sincerest sympathy to German for that
incident in the auditorium during Frosh song practice.
Revenge is assured when spring comes to Washington

Park. Orchids to Merritt for his knowledge of Page Hall
geography.

Finance: Ben 'Tybring. College House’s trembling tenor,

is learning all about budgets as representative to Finance
Board.

Soph treasurer, Meek, has three gray hairs caused by
worry over late dues.

i Football: Frosh spirits are as low as the barometer when
the Sophs win again.

Meetings: Sophs introduce night class meetings,
with that social touch that puts them over big.

Moving-Up-Day: The best so far—Hair ribbons
and bog bow ties were discarded in favor of more
mature apparel.

Music: °42 is proud to boast of its own ‘Tosea-
nini in the person of Bernie Perlman. If “getting
off to a good start” means anything, he will soon
lead the State College Symphony Orchestra to
Carnegie Hall.

Officers: Merritt, Ryerson, Gaylord and Meek

direct the activities for the year 1939-40. °42

Merritt, Ryerson, Gaylord, Meek

backs them to the limit.

Parties: Leap year frolic brings out the
hidden yearnings of State’s Sophomore
women. Surprised?

Profession: First real introduction comes
through Ed. 10. Among other things,
learned how to study and where not to
park.

Pushball: Quote the Campus Day Skit—
The Freshmen are push-overs—unquote.

Receptions: The Sophomores, on best
behavior, decide that green really becomes
the Frosh.

Rivalry: The Sophs nobly refrain from
rubbing it in. Too bad 743.

Romance: Definitely not lacking in *42,
K’stablished Frosh romances continued. new
and surprising combinations were formed.
not to mention the popular pastime of
swapping B. F’s and G. F’s.

Sing: Talent is displayed as °42 lifts its
voice to Alma Mater and victory. Con-
gratulations to songleader Hirsh for in-
spiring songs and inspired directing.

Skits: Roy Sommers blossoms out as
State’s most promising skit writer. Lord
Kelly and Saint Paul of the Alumni Resi-
dence Hall were strokes of genius. Practice
proves fun for all.

Soiree: There aren’t enough adjectives to
describe the music of the crowd. One more
star in the crown of °42!

Studies: Ouch!!!!

Miscellaneous: It’s the best year yet.

JOLLY
JUNIORS

“Jolly” Juniors . . . not the word for us in 8:10 methods
courses . . . no more pushball and song rivalries. no more
getting stuck in ventilators searching for banners and
mascots no larger than this and no smaller than that...
much anticipation as to who’d be Prom Queen and would
we have another name-band or not... bets on who would
be tapped for Myskania . . . can next year be any worse
than this? .. . How’ll I ever get that unit plan done?...
memories of being Junior advisors. . . much correspondence
to prospective Statesmen... “You'll go for it like crazy
up here: the place grows on you, so help me!” ... Counsel-
ors at Freshmen Camp... Gardephe’s stunt, the tops in

something new and spontaneous (to the cast as well as to

the audience) . . . much class spirit... even an Armistice

more fun. more decorations, more refreshments than—oh,
well. I never did like crowds... “Brunch” at the Annex
at eleven . . . sudden dignity assumed . . . Milne, please
notice! .. . wonder which of them will be in my class next
year... an eye to practice teaching .. . “Should I take
Extra-Curric?”. . . “Gee; [’m glad I made Advanced
Dramatics: it brings out l’artiste in me, le grande passion;
what I mean is, it’s a lot of fun . . . think it will help me
cet a job next year,” ... had to send home for money for
Junior week-end . .. do you think
she expected flowers for house
dance when I sent her an orchid
for Prom? ... But they’re dur-
able . . . glad I tactfully sug-
gested that she wear it in her
hair... what a week-end...
Prom. luncheon, tea-dance, and

house dance!”’. . . and the orchid

still lived! . . . Remember Junior

Pogor, Dower, W alrath, O’Brien,
McCreary

party for the Frosh? . . . and the bicycle
built for two in the Campus Day stunt, and
how everyone gasped when Dower (with
teeth gritted) and Hannon rode down a
creaky plank of wood ... then there was the
Junior banquet, and 1941 toasted itself as
it should . . . it was our year all right. . .
lots to do and just as much to think about
doing . . . observing in Milne and visualiz-
ing ourselves as prospective “out-in-the-
fielders” . . . debating as to whether or not
summer school should be considered—to
lighten next year’s burden. . . incidentally.
summer school at State is fun... you meet
the most interesting people . . . sometimes
... and came Moving-Up Day ... hard to
say much about that day, isn’t it? . .

there we were with our canes and arm-
bands . . . and some of us with ribbons
decorating us and new keys, and others of
us feeling rather dullish . . . who visited
that “Night-Before-Moving-Up-Day-
Club” anyway? ... last of all we went to
Torchlight Procession after Class Night . . .
and carried torches for the seniors who
were our friends . . . we asked, with a sort
of lump in our throats, “Where, oh where.
are the grand old Seniors.’ and saw them

walk away from us into the darkness. . .

GOLDEN
RULE DAYS...

Four years spent “under the thumb” of people we con-
sider plenty all-right . . . for once in our lives we enjoyed
pressure . . . little white cards: ‘Please call at the Dean's
office’... am I shaky or just naturally knock-kneed? . . .
silver-white hair and silver-blue eyes (stream of conscious-
ness speaking: “Effect produced reminds me of a nice cool
breaker rolling shoreward on a sultry day”): Gosh, [’m not
scared; believe I'll stop in some time without being sent for
... walking through the halls today—saw Dr. Sayles stoop
to pick up a Freshman’s glove: It’s a thing like that wins a
person to you .. . dignified gait assumed as I plod Milne-
ward . . . “Good morning, Dr. Freddie, er, Frederick”

broad grin and “Hi! how’s everything”—and I’m set for
my class now... talked with Mr. Bulger today—wonder if
I'll get an interview? . . . Stopped in to see Dean Moreland
for a few moments; she’s never too busy to listen to the
problems of the universe—or what have you! ... Aren't
people wonderful? . . . Did you go to Assembly today? . . -
Myskania announces—say, did you really sign up for
Myskania as a Freshman? . . . too bad they don’t tap grads
—you might have a chance in a year or two. . . strange
thought—Why doesn’t Student Council have picnics all
spring—Myskania does, and won't say where—they re so
darned secretive . . . makes it interesting, huh? . . . Self-
government really is a good thing, isn'tit.. . Excerpt from
an Assembly: “Mr. President, are we or are we not a
democratic institution?”—applause please! ... Mr. Presi-
dent. will the speaker yield the floor? . . . “No, sir, I will
not.” (Much applause) . . . meeting finally adjourns: next
week Finance Board will make a budget report .. . “that’s
where my money goes” . . . Seriously, though, it’s really a
sreat system of administration! “Golden Rule” really says
it . . . really swell people to be found here: and they're

worth knowing well!

Draper... G. H. Q.... General in Charge of Manoeuvres, M. G. Nelson: Aide-de-Camp, Elizabeth Van-

Denburgh . . . also hang-out for carrier pigeons and others . . . Frosh rush in where Seniors fear to tread.

ADMINISTRATION
Glad it’s almost over? .. . question hurled
at seniors every year... sure, were glad to
be one step nearer some goal... whatever it
may be ... but there are things that are
hard about being a senior... one of those is
leaving behind among them a grand admini-

stration...

The Dean and the Dean...

Dr. John M. Sayles . . . acting president of

the college . . . eyes sparkling under beetling

black brows ... chairman of the Alumni

Board of Directors . . . booster for a new

dormitory for State men... is confident of

its need here... chaperone at formal dances

“*

... even goes in for a little “jitterbugging

on the side .. . did you see him “swing out”

of the receiving line on to the dance floor at
Senior Hop? ... his cheery “hello” has been
especially appreciated by students . . . helps
their ego to be noticed by the President. . .
doesn't like to be photographed, though . . .

has too much else to do to be bothered by

nosy photographers...

Dr. Milton G. Nelson

. dean of the

college . . . especially well known to those

unfortunate students whose marks have
placed them on his black list . . . always will-
ing to listen to and to help with problems of
students ... scholarship problems and other-
wise ... have even heard returning prodigals
call him “Pop” Nelson interested in

photography .. . liable to pop up anywhere

to get an unusual shot for his collection . . .
ardent admirer of the comic strip “Alleyoop”

.. When not busy checking cuts, schedules,
and marks... the door of his office is open to
you ...be’s a swell person who’s been thrust

into an office that spells fear in many hearts.

Speaking of principals...

Dean Moreland . . . dean of students . . .
another understanding friend .. . her duties
include many scopes of student life .. .
manners . .. freshman orientation . . . inspec-
tion of group houses . . . (hope none of you
were caught with excess clothes or dust
around) . . . helping students find work for
room and board . . . we hear she bought a
smooth new hat but is afraid to wear it...
not suitable for her position ... and what is
that extra desk in her office for? .. .

Dr. Robert Fredericks . . . Principal in
Milne . .. Dr. Freddy to his former college
students . . . busy with conferences every-

where... often called upon to aid with disci-

pline problems which are beyond student

teachers ... very friendly . . . nice sense of

humor always can find time to help

anyone who needs him...

Dr. Conlin. .
High ..

. principal of Milne Junior

. . headaches

. new to us this year .

over finding supervisors for Milne clubs .. .
and getting them into motion . . . trips to
other schools in capitol district with his
. nice

supervision class . . . very friendly . .

person to talk with... progressivist ...
Mr. Paul Bulger .. . secretary for Student
Employment Bureau . . . dashing over to the
Annex for a bite to eat at 1:30 every day...
busy making contacts with those in power
to hire teachers . . . wonder if he thinks I’m
apple polishing when I smiled so sweetly
just then... 4:30 bureau meetings . . . dis-
cussions and round tables to help students be

prepared for interviews and jobs (we hope)

... friendly and a person well worth knowing.

Budget cut! ... Budget cut! ... Budget

. of every organization in col-

so to speak ao

lege... why? ... we've heard it from every

angle! national budget cut state

budget cut and lastly the cut from
Student Association ... again we may ask
why?...student tax hasn't been paid...
therefore, can’t meet its

Finance Board.

proposed budget ...so organizations must
take a cut to make available revenue balance
expenditures...

Finances at ratber loose ends back in 717
and °18... Finance Board organized in 1909
to manage the financing of student-run
activities
student organizations have come under the
supervision of Student Board of Finance .. .
and Av.

music council ... News...

Statesman ... athletics . .. infirmary benefit

. and lastly, the PEDAGOGUE...

To finance these organizations, the board
decided that each student should pay a
blanket tax ... thus he could benefit from
all the organizations . to decide on the
budget and the amount of the tax not difh-
cult... hard, however, to get some students
to buy the tax ticket . in “37, President
Brubacher stated that payment of tax would
be compulsory two-fold benefit

recommendation for positions by the Student
Employment Bureau and better pro-

rams of student-run activities...

one by one, the finances of

The board is under the direction of Pro-
fessor Cooper. treasurer of the board... Mr.
Cooper took the place of Professor Clarence
Hidley ... he left college this fall due to ill
health . . . the chairman of the board is
elected to that position every year by the
board members Professor York has
served in that position for about fifteen
years . the treasurer of the board is
appointed by the president of the college . . .
if his work is satisfactory, his job is perma-
nent ... should he fail to do his work ade-
quately, his dismissal is in the hands of the
president . . . from his work so far, it looks
as if Professor Cooper has a permanent
position in that capacity . due to the
changing complexity of the college’s finances,
Mr. Cooper has instituted a new system...
he claims and hopes that it will be infallible
... new, simplified schemes of bookkeeping

double self-checking of records

entries of entries. debits and payments . .
all these it is hoped will insure ease, accuracy
and speed ... each organization presents its
bills to the treasurer who pays them and
checks off the expenditures . . . in short, a
new modern system of accounting has been
instituted...

This year the faculty members have had
the able support of Stan Kullman and Bob
Martin... seniors... Dan Bucci and Steve

Paris ...jumiors ...and Ben Tybring ...

sophomore...

The budget is made out each spring by the

board members . . . maybe you think that
the budget assembly won't be one sweet
gripe session this year... it is made out on
the basis of the amounts of money requested
by the organizations in election tothe amount
of money expected from collection of student
tax... the budget is then recommended to
the student association . . . often suggestions
for changes in the budget are made by mem-
bers of the association .
finance tries to mete out the finances accord-
ing to the accepted budget . they are
merely administrators of the budget . . . they
have nothing to say as to how much each
organization can or cannot have by having
the budget accepted in the spring . . . it’s
possible for the new board to start collecting
money for the student tax in the fall... thus.

student activities can also get under way

almost immediately .. .

Just a bunch of cutthroats . . .

the board of

The tax raised from ten dollars to twelve
dollars this year the PEDAGOGUE, the
college yearbook, is now included under the
benefits of the student tax ... providing we
don't have any more havoc raising budget
cuts ... and the amount of money for in-
firmary benefits was raised from ten _ to
fifteen dollars...

Because the tax hasn't been paid this year
as well as was expected, the board has worked
doubly hard to stretch the money they have
to meet the demands of new organizations
which have lost their subsidy . . . so, you
organizations who are feeling the pinch of a
budget cut ... urge your fellow classmates
to pay their tax ... that’s the only way the
board can help you . it has treated you
well under trying circumstances . .

preciate their fine work...

DRAMATICS AND ARTS COUNCIL

Advanced Dramatics plays . . . Elemen-
tary Dramatics plays ... who’s the backbone
and sponsor of these presentations?
Dramatics and Arts Council . . . formed
about twenty-one years ago as a Dramatic
Council . . . dramatics and art closely inter-
woven... consequently, art department con-
stantly called in to help... Dramatic Council
later included representatives from Art
Department . . . name changed to Dramatic
and Arts Council... made up of two mem-
bers from each class... freshmen chosen by
the council... on basis of work, interest, and
ability . . . announcement of their appoint-
ment made on Moving-Up Day...

What does the council do? ... maybe Jane

doctor, statesman, and raconteur . . . per-
sonal friend of Yeats... great lyric poet...
often compared to Herrick, Donne, Waller,
and Heine . . . spoke on the history of Irish
literature . . . his talk was a little too intel-
lectual for us... we expected his rollicking
wit to be more in evidence...

exhibits ... related to the drama... costum-
ing...make-up and stage sets...

Four issues a year... bigger
and better than either of its
composites .. . just step up
and get your copy. kids... it’s
worth the time you spend
standing in line... afterall...
you have to read something in
Assembly ... well . . . don't
you? ... purely student talent

every student welcome .. .
just hand in anything you've

written... and if you don't

think it’s good ... Agne will

The hybrid . . . Echo and Lion .. .

them!... Sprague likes to give color to ber

you can write poems... the Statesman loves
poems...or...last... but not least ... which
... of course,...is as it should be...jokes...
good jokes ... not dirty one, you under-
stand ... but just subtle enough so Brown

can get them ..

- you

and if you can’t do anything else .

can always make a Bright Saying . . . only
be sure to say it when there’s a Statesman
board member around ... so be can make

believe he didn’t even hear it...and scoop

innocent remarks can be interpreted in such
queer ways... but that’s all nght... we
love Our State College Magazine .. . seri-

ously: 4. 3

The people that make it like it, too...
they have an awful lot of fun figuring out
which story goes where... and why... and
if they finally decide it shouldn't go any-
where . . . we don’t blame them . . . we
wouldn’t print it either ... they have dead-
lines, too... but they meet “em...and...
so help me... that’s somethin’... proofs...
proofs ... where are the proofs? . . . for Pete’s
sakes ... send them up in a taxi. . . quick

telephoning . . . if that darned budget cut
goes through, we Il have to cut out one issue

figured it out . . . especially the “danger.

OTHER RELIGIOUS CLUBS
Every...

well, not every ...one... but
most State students are quite serious . . .
several times a week ... that’s as it should be
. . even though we don’t have daily chapel
. . . plenty of opportunities for us not to
stray from the fold ...5S.C. A. offers many
varied programs. . . something for everybody
. and then there’s Newman Club .. . and
then, there’s the other church clubs .
groups you don’t hear so much about... .
because they're not so highly organized . . .
and they don’t have so much money to put
on dances and parties . . . and then there’s
not so many students proportionately to
belong to these clubs, either . . . but it’s not
the money .. . it’s the spirit behind. . .
groups of kids of one religion like to get
together every so often ... at their churches
...and talk things out ... up at the Friend-
ship House ... on upper State Street ... the
Lutherans get together every three weeks
... cook their own suppers, too. .. chile con
carne seems to be a hot favorite . .. President

. .. paternal Dr. Frontz guarding his little
sheep... after supper... washing dishes...

dents have their own Menorah meetings

TAUGHT TO THE
TUNE OF A
HICKORY STICK

School days ... school days... in our modern schools,
we don’t use hickory sticks any more . . . returning alums
tell us they wish they could sometimes . . . practice teach-
ers in Milne second the motion .. . adolescent psych...
bring out the individuality of the child by kind treatment
... Dr. Candlyn with his stick . . . he uses it to good
advantage, though ... the science profs with their measur-
ing rods... but even though it’s not really there . . . the
hickory stick symbolically lords it over us... term papers
... term papers... reading reports .. . practice sets...
lesson plans ... mid-sems. . . lab experiments . . . Milne
supervisors ... unit plans... finals .. . and the big stick
... recommendation for a job... gee, wonder if I'll ever
get a job... flunked so many times when I was a Fresh-
man... altogether, we have a pretty swell faculty . .
they can’t help it if the State requires such and such...
they'll do their darndest for you ... really . . . they're
right there behind you batting for you . . . maybe you
won't realize it till you’re a hoary alum. . . but it’s the
truth ...so help me... even the Milne supervisors are
srand eggs... when you get to know them... and you'll

get that chance sooner or later . . . when they tell you
things, it’s for your own good .. . you'll wish they'd told
you more when you get out in the field next year . .

High spots in college are when you have faculty to
dinners .. . or suppers ... or teas... or anyway, when
they’re your guests .. . they relax and you relax .. . they
smoke and you smoke . . . they joke and you joke ..
closer relationships ... fun... playing bridge with the
math department ...no fun... they always win! .
Snapping pictures of you when you're not looking . . . and
you snapping pictures of them when they're not looking
... did you see those dandy photos by the faculty up in
the art rooms?...

At 8:10 we call them names... at 4:30 likewise... but
after all... we love them . . . God bless “em... and.

scout’s honor, this isn’t apple polishing!

College of the Empire State...

FACULTY

Seems to me I spend most of my time...
spare and otherwise . . . talking to various
faculty members... and have I been accused
of apple-polishing ... maybe Ido... but I
like to think [I’m just naturally friendly ...
anyway ... I’ve found there are some defi-
nitely interesting people around here. . . I
used to be awed by D. V.... but I’ve found

he’s grand to talk to... even though he’s

always up to his neck in papers .. . and books

. and committees . . . and social studies

programs... did you see Rienow’s tie today?

. . 1t was lavender . . . how can one person
know so many things . . . and still be as
human as this man is? ... and look at Mrs.
Egelston . . . her lectures in History 120
floored me .. . felt as if I should be copying
down everything that was said .. . instead, I
just gazed at her in amazement .. . or some-

~**

thing ... maybe that’s why I only hit a “C

Dr. Body, Boots, and Britches . . .

O4.

in the course... (as if that’s the lowest mark
I ever received!) . . . I’ve begun to think
extensive notes are somewhat foolish . . . ever
been in any of Walker’s classes? . . . there’s
aman for you... more idealistic and soundly
philosophic . . . taking notes would be silly
... 1 like to just let what he says soak in...
and he never runs out of anecdotes ... Baker
is another interesting person . . . he looks so
“Englishy” ... and is his wife pretty .. .
young enough to be a State student herself
. . . just banged into Miss Shaver over in
Milne... ah, Milne... “I cannot hold thee
close enough”... heh, heh .. . where was I?
..on, Miss Shaver... she’s a grand super-
visor .. . along with Taylor . . . | wonder
what he does with all those unit plans.
incidentally? ... wish I’d tasted some of that
apple pie he baked .. . and it’s leap year,
gals... quit crowding, will you? .. . he’s not
the only eligible . . . look at Allard... and
Densmore ... Wow!... don’t you like super-
visors. but yes? . . . those two are insepar-
ables . . . and smooth ones, too. . . oh, to
practice teach ... (French and English) .. .
now that they are here . . . speaking of Milne
...isn’t Freddie great . . . that chuckle of his
just sets me right talking with him
always lifts me up a peg or two... there goes
Hicks and Sisk ... laughing as per usual...
those two make a good combination
similar and yet different as night and day ...
Hicks with that sort of humble air. . . and he
could be one of the most conceited of indi-

viduals ... he knows more about us than we

know about ourselves . . . there’s always a

string of people in the Ed. office waiting to
see him... and Sisk grins... and drawls...
and gives forth samples of his dry humor .. .
and you burst out laughing . . . and feel
kinda dumb . . . cause he hasn't cracked a
smile... hell do anything for you, though
...and is never too busy to listen to you...
C. C.’s (Smith) twang fascinates me... it

reminds me of Dean Nelson... 1 dunno why

... Nelson is great, too... seems as though

Footlights and greasepaint . . .

he’s looking right through you ... and you

tweed suits just hit me right... I love ’°em

..and Dr. Tommie’s courses are great...
his sense of humor is astounding . . . how
does he accumulate so much knowledge . . .
did you hear him on Albany’s “Information.
Please?” ... and Hardy was fine, too . . . bis
voice is perfect for radio . makes you
swell up with pride to think such people are
our faculty . there goes Jones with bis
raccoon coat ... doesn’t he look like a huge
teddy bear . . . look at the red cap . . . that

the day the frog got away from

remarked that frog’s eggs re-

Miss Avery has any eight o'clock classes?
... She must have to get up at dawn to get
here .. . remember the day she couldn't get
to Albany? ... too much snow and stuff...
golly, we have quite a faculty .. . how can

. . . wonder how her History of Milne is
with a

coming ... maybe we could help...

few anecdotes that occur in classes ... like
the time... but why go into that now?...

the model rooms Mrs. Barsom and her home

ec classes set up. .

. at this point I'd like to

ask Morris about my I. Q.... I’ve a pecu-

liarly moronish feeling . . . mine is the

wandering [. Q.... maybe I’m turning into
the artistic type ... in that event, I’d better
go see Miss Hutchins... or Miss Martin...
I should have taken that course about bulle-
tin boards .. . they ought to pin me on one

Burnett will have a bargain sale today...
once | remember, I thought of majoring in
French

languages . . . Spanish...

German ... it’s a good thing [ dropped out
. of my own volition ... understand...
and can’t you see me plowing through Latin
courses ... “all Gaul is divided into three

parts’ ...so what?...as I recall, the one

Latin word I enjoyed saying was “Fui”...

and I’m saying it now... and Mr. Pearson

... taking time out for tea... and dances

. oh, heck .. . how does a man like Mahar
have time for twelve children? . . . isn’t it
amazing? ...and isn’t Decker an observing
person? . . . imagine one man handling a

whole department in Spanish class,

Dewey or don’t we? ...

Stinard pauses . . . leaves the subject on

hand to discuss the war situation .. . a mild
looking man... with a definite sense of
humor... shares an office with Mahar...
and close to them dwells Miss Dobbin . . .
will you ever forget Springdingus last year
. and the blue velvet evening gown . .
oh yes, our faculty are all right, all right ...
doesn't Mr. Bergin look sleepy ... but he’s
much different in class ...orso] hear... I
used to watch him wandering around in his
own sort of individual way ... and won-
dered what he was like . . . and if he ever
looked wide-awake . . . but he always looks

the same .. . sort of sleepy . . . and easy-

going... but happy ... and placid... Miss
Preston and Miss Smith . . . two nice looking
women ..

. with nice clothes . . . wandered

over to the auditorium this afternoon...

.. Dr. Candlyn
(Thomas Frederick Handel) officiating . . .

and does he know his music . .

sat in on a chorus class .

always
wanted to take a course in music apprecia-
tion... everyone who’s had it thinks it’s the
cream ... and after chorus. I watched a

where does one find such perpetual sparkle
... unless it’s in the eyes of Dr. Scotland and

Miss Wallace ..

and bubbly over . .

. they always look so alive
. and [ thought Latin
was a dead language . . . and biology a kinda
buggy bore .. . but it seems I was wrong
again ...incidentally, teaching in Milne has
led to many pleasant acquaintances . . . such
as Dr. Moose . . . who is definitely wrapped
up in Mrs. and Baby Moose... and I love
to watch him with the Milne orchestra .. .
blowing away ... and directing . . . and doing
a good job... and having a lot of fun doing
it...and there’s Miss Conklin... who keeps
looking pleasant . . . and doesn’t look at all
the foreboding supervisor . . . for that mat-
ter, | can’t think of anyone in Milne who’s
particularly ominous . . . just wish I knew
some people better than I do... funny little

things I’m going to remember about this

place .. . like Dr. Hastings’ flush when he
laughs bard . and Tommie’s chuckle
bursting into a loud “‘heh, heh” . . . Hicks
eating a pistachio cone... or apple. . . or
lollipop that some student brought in at

beginning of class .. . and being put out of

the library by Miss Cobb when I lost my

shoes and giggled too loudly . . . and all the

help those librarians will give you if you
merely ask . . . always forgetting that Dr.
Freddie really should be called Frederick ...
and knowing that he doesn’t mind, anyhow

...and being asked to close the window in a

classroom . . . forgetting I had slipped my

shoes off, and ending up a much embarrassed

Rienow very. very much . . . how does he
keep his hat on the side of his head .. .
admiring lots of other people, too... talking
with Walker about religion ...and books...

and pictures . . . and driving out to drop in

on the Hardy or the Jones family ... why do
I always think of those two at the same time
. . remembering Jones as Campus Queen in
Springdingus ...and Beaver as an attendant
and Croasie, Moreland, Dobbin, and

Kgelston as attendants . . . seeing the faculty
stripped of their dignity liking and
respecting them all the more for being so
very. very human... thinking back upon
the faculty wives . . . gentlemen still prefer
blondes .. . at least, Mr. Cooper does .. .
and we O.K. his judgment... and how grand
all the wives are... taking in visits to school
systems and institutions... and jails ...and

MEN’S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

M. A. A.... representing the athletes of
the college no hikes via the truck for
these fellows ... if you see what we mean
...and we believe you will... the organiza-
tion has been busy this year... but definite-
ly ... cross-country... Francello...captain

... Managing the team. . . Clum, Snover,

Agnello . . and

. . the juniors of the group. .
not so jolly this year . . . on account of be-
cause, that is too say well, we had a
disastrous season . . . three intercollegiate
meets this year and the frosh (Hansen,
DeNike,. and Cooke) did their darndest .. .
October 21... lost to Delhi in the season
opener .. . home-running grand . . . Wash-

ington Park ... with the lake... and the

trees ...and the bees... and the short-clad
team... October 28... Morrisville downed

us... but we were just too tired... Novem-

140

ber 4... visited Alfred and did a graceful
bow for their benefit . . . to the tune of
twenty-three points ... ouch! ... we play
basketball too . . . varsity consists of John
Havko, Frank Kluge (nice looking, huh?),
Paul Merritt (remember him as “Julius
Caesar?”’), William Dickson (the redhead).
Henry Brauner, Willard Frament (a grand
guy). Arnold Ellerin, Milton Ray, David
Lehman, Robert Hilton, William Barrett.

and Walter Simmons .. the

season:
mediocre as a whole ... ‘“‘a hot and cold

team”. witness the Niagara and Pratt

games...alltold... five victories and seven
setbacks . . . team displayed some remark-
ably good playing upon occasion . and

some lost as remarkably at other times

. . .

Walt Simmons and Will Frament acted as
co-captains . . . the season saw five varsity

men play the last game: Kluge, Frament.

wet =o Handsome is as

handsome does . . .

Simmons, Barrett. and Havko... and a
good game it was, too... R. P. I. downed by
a margin of fifteen points . . . the whole year
saw much excitement ... and some dull

moments... much cheer-leading ...a Rus-
sian Cheer... and the advent of a band...

vou should hear that band ...a killer...

King Porter

Goodman's only rival

Remember, it's leap

vear, girls. . .

Stomp ...and... Washington Post March
... yes, actually! ... and a good one at
that! . . . and besides basketball we had
intramurals . .. directed by the council...
consisting of co-presidents Les Gerdts and
Dan Bucci... treasurer, Carl Marotto...
secretary, Howie Anderson . . . and Phil
Kaufman, Bob Seifert. Bill Brophy. Gad
Bodner, Joe Schwartz, and Hal Duffy .. .
intramural sports divided seasonly . . . fall
saw touch football... with K. D. R. the
league champ. . . a tough season . . . two
years in arow ... winter brought basketball

.. with College House the league champ...

they didn’t have a point given to them...
spring saw volleyball and softball . .. and
how do we publicize all these going-ons? ...
the M. A. A. Press Bureau . . . propaganda

.. and not for war either... just with our
rrvais..:. . organizer’: -.:.: Bill Ryan. ...>
started the ball rolling in May 1938...

directed actions for a year... Jim Maloney

heads it this year... wrote a dandy column
in the News this year . .. impartial. . . in-
novations occuring ... on Student Associa-
tion Budget this year . . . four committees
... publicity ... for sports at the college...
and district newspapers . . . and publicity
for State in other colleges . .. and exchanging
morsels of news with our opponents . . . and
gobs of posters (so good that people collect
them for souvenirs!) ... and announcements
...and so forth ... and finally, publicity in
the hometown newspapers for participating
members... Joe Schwartz, assistant, directs

the set-up... members include Louis Green-

S-T-A-T-E!... RAH!... RAH!

span... Carl Marotto...Gadlin Bodner...
Phil Kaufman .

Robert Patton. .

.. William Phipps... and
. and they re doing a good
job. we must admit... such publicity should
act as a stimulant... and lead the athletes
on to bigger and better doings . . . more
baskets for the basketball team ... more
touches for the football league . . . more bits
for the softball team ... more pings... or
pongs ... for the ping-pong competitors .. .
as for the aforementioned M. A. A. Council
.. membership includes Kluge . . . as presi-
dent . . . Ladislau (Larry to you) Balog as
treasurer . . . how are the finances coming
these days? . . . secretary is William (take a
letter) Dickson... hmm... and William
(swell fellow) Haller is vice-president
other members include Gerald (Jerry Ul

have a baked bean sandwich and a pickle

142

please) Saddlemire, Leslie (trumpet blower)
Willard (Will, liked

respected) Frament...and Robert (darned

much and

Graves.
swell freshman) Leonard ... and incidentally

. M. A. A. Council has done a swell job
this year ... they ve had to contend with a
budget cut... and yet... they ve been able
to put a team out for every sport... cut
down on the incidentals .. . make up in the
major sports ... they got Press Bureau to

receive an appropriation from the Student

Association . . . all on their own . . . no
money from the M. A. A. budget . . . smart
handling, we call it... oh, say ... we have

a good chess team... and the fellows have
been working up to it for a long time... .

and this year they defeated Cornell... and

4 Se ee

and Green Mountain Junior College .. . but

Colgate ... and Union. .

all in all it was an out-

lost te: Ty as os
standing season and credit is due the
roster... of which John Hoose is captain-
manager ... and the six members... Art

Fox ... Steve Shaw ... John Hoose .

James Gillen . . . Roy Sommers and
Robert Patton . .. have you ever noticed
these people practicing in the Commons...
of all places ... Ul bet it started as a fad...
something to keep idle hands busy . . . like
the bridge games that go on... and now it
comes under M. A. A....hohum!... where
do we go from here? ... I still have about
thirty lines of copy to do in this write-up...
so I’ll digress for a minute .. . and take up
some space ... then I won't have so much

to write ... but I'd better go back to the

The pride of State. .

oh. ves... the frosh

question at hand...
play basketball too... Tom Feeney .. .
Frank Hansen... Morris Gerber . . . Leo
.. Van Ellis .

Brierton ...OQwen Bombard (of the A’s)...

Flax . .. Bob Walter... Tom

Howard Lynch... Regis Hammons... and
Jim Portley . coached by Will Frament
.... managed by Will Thomas. . . season
started very poorly .. . first four games lost
to Troy Business... R. P. I. frosh ... Albany
Academy and Siena frosh . . . lost to Union
frosh won against second game with
Albany Academy . . . with five losses and
one win, the frosh wailed through their last
four meets... and defeated Delhi twice...

R. P. I. frosh and Albany Business College

... thus endeth the season...

HERE'S LIFE
AT STATE

144

Life at State... the old education factory turning out
the finished products by the hundreds . . . finished? . . . you
bet your neck they're finished . . . academically and
socially . . . socially anyway .. . group living is a great
thing. so they say ...so is the activities office . . . and the
Grand Central Station... and the Annex ... and so on

into the night...

R. P.1.... Union... Siena... they give us the ha-ha
...s80 what?... we do all right... occasionally we give
them a trouncing ... and... not just occasionally . . . they
come here for dates ... as well as Skidmore . . . and Sage

...and Troy in general . . . we have our beer parties once

in a while. too...

And that ain’t all... most of the people here come from
middle class families . . . a pretty homogeneous grouping

..if you want to call us that... so what does that prove?

... come to State and find out...

I'll betcha we have just as many budget arguments...
pressure groups . . . and social functions . . . as any other
campus in the country . . . of course, we don’t have two
bands at prom... or Glenn Miller at house dances . . . but
we have their records .. . which are just about as good...
and if you don’t think we have a darn good time you have

another think coming...

We think we have some pretty good activities around
here. too... the News... Statesman... PED...anda
slew of others . . . too numerous to mention ... and
speaking of activities ... we have a fine Residence Hall 43

even if the piano does take quite a beating from the

SINER: ec 9 BUR s S's

We have eight o'clock classes and one o'clock rules . . .
then there are the people who don't believe in one o'clock
rules... tough one on them. . . ask some of the girls

from 221 Ontario Street ... they know ...don't they...

Well . . . enough of this baloney . . . let’s take a look

at the daily life at State . . . from the time the damned

alarm clock rings...

145

Come on, Ruby... get up... you'll never
get to class at the rate you're going .. . Lord,
why do they have 8:10’s in this place? ...
you should be getting paid for this ... having
to report on time... this getting up in the
middle of the night sure gripes me... you,

too, fella... stop your peeking and get out

of that bed . . . somebody kick him out...

this would be his fifth cut . . . and that Prof

is gunning for him. . . and you on the stairs

252 et moving!... where the bell are you
who’s the wise

going? ... picnic?...oh...

PLEV 2. alts a telling me there was a phone call

Good morning! . . .

Peek-a-boo . . .

146

Foggy morning...

this hour of the morning... oh... you just

wanted to get my picture... well isn't that
funny ... if you use it Ill sue you for in-

vasion of privacy ... come on. move over

Easy does it! ...

... I’ve got to shave too...my Lord...
you'd think you were the only guy that has
to shave every day ... it’s getting so I shave
in the morning and that night the girl friend
says...hmmm... you didn’t shave to-
night ...did you... what are you going to
02:5 Ae

just think ... no shaving ... what a life...

why wasn’t [ born a woman?.. .

on week-ends you shave morning and night
... and then they kick because your face is
all raw and cut up... women! ... you can’t
live with them .. . and can’t live without
them ... what a world! . . . Doc Dorwaldt
used to callit a vicious circle... you remem-
ber him ... the guy that used to smoke five
or six cartons of cigarettes a week . . . iron

man... he was all right though .

.. gave
me a“C”...even if I did copy the Introduc-
tion word for word ... But Doc was an
education in himself . . . college men are

funny things . . . they even darn socks. be-

sides sewing buttons on coats, ete. . . . can

they swear? ... well, maybe it isn’t swear-
ing... but it’s a reasonably accurate fac-
simile and we thought Hubby was a

man’s man... well he was... until this

year... just proves that if you’re going to
be a celibate you should go into a monastery
--. ora convent... or some other nice quiet

place . like a group house . or the

activities office . . . seems as though that’s
where Hubby got his start . . . and just look
what he’s doing now . . . I suppose darning
your own socks doesn’t mean a thing . .

but just think, girls . . . you wouldn’t have
a thing to do but spend his money . . . and
this is leap-year .. . so go to it, kids... and
lots of luck ... pick a rich one. . . even if it’s
not a success you'll have better luck with

the alimony or will you? . . . but. of

Old Mother Hubbard .. .

147

course, you will have to cook his breakfast
_..and his dinners... and his lunches...
maybe you had better stay single . . . Just
think of all the money you'd have... teach-
ing school... and being single . . . speaking
of breakfasts . . . handle that coffee with
care, Mac... it’s the only clean tablecloth
we've got... or is it clean? ... looks as
though it’s been through the second battle
of the Marne... or over the Commons floor
_.. or on some barroom table... who knows?
... if you can answer this simple question
in ten lines of iambic pentameter, mail it on
a postcard and enclose a_ self-addressed
stamped envelope . . . maybe you will be
the lucky winner . . . of what? ... we don't
know either ... perhaps you read the paper
while eating . . . we find it sort of tough...
you know .. . bad on the eyes so early in the
morning ... then, too... maybe we don't
have a paper that early in the morning...
maybe we have 8:10’s... maybe were just
too damned lazy to monkey around with
Dr. Rienow’s current events . . . but then

... we get all the news from the P. A. system

when we get to school... if we get to school

... it’s a funny thing about breakfasts .. .
women can get by on nothing but fruit and
coffee . . . but the men have to have a little
fruit... cereal... coffee... buns... and
anything else that can be found in the
kitchen .. . and the women think it’s awful
...men are such pigs. . . if they only knew
... maybe some of them do. . . that’s what

they get for reading the papers so early in

148

The breakfast of champions . . .

the morning ... but I don’t know . . . the
men still manage to run the school . . . what
do you attribute that to? . . . the dominance
of the male specie? ... hurry up.. . let the

rest of that coffee go... let’s get toschool...

darn these methods courses anyway . .
wonder what Mr. Taylor will have to say
this morning? ... who cares... I’m going to
sleep the class out . . . pity those poor kids in
the front row ... wow... I’m glad that
class is over... what did Taylor talk about
this morning? . . . the New Social Studies
Curriculum ... we should worry about that
... were only going to teach it... guess I'll
have time for a cigarette ... and a look at
the mailbox . . . don’t know who would
write me a note... except the Dean...
funny habit of his . . . writing notes at the
most unexpected times . .. hope he gets
writer's cramp...nope...he can’t... he’s
got a secretary ... damn those people who
never take their mail out... what good is a
campus commission ... they never function
... look... Bond... Bond.... Bond... Bond
. all in the same writing ... must be love

a la long distance ... what a mob... boy

Love a la long distance...

... if I don’t get that cigarette now I’m a
goner . . . what? the activities office
deserted? ... can’t be true... there’s Wilson
and Kluge ... voted the most beautiful and
most handsome ... wonder what it is...
conference on pulchritude? ... maybe...
maybe not, too... you'd be surprised what
little girls and boys talk about . . . especially
in the activities office ... Ull betcha twenty
dollars it’s about practice teaching . . . ask
them ... maybe you can win some money
... got to bave proof, though ... you know
... photo finish ... well... enough of this
talk ... got to get to class ... hope that Prof

isn't here . . . could use a little study ...

Appollo...and Venus...

149

Wanna buy a book? ...

especially after doing none in the last two
weeks .. . guess [ll cut it... go up to the
library and do a little studying ... not a

very pleasant task to look forward to .

Stooges? ...

150

have a look in the Co-op first... maybe

there'll be a book or a magazine to read
instead of Psychology and Life . .. did you
ever see such a cluttered up place as the
Co-op? . . . looks like a general store right
after a hurricane . . . have some good stuff
in there though . . . fun to go in and look
around ...even if you don’t have any money

.. wish they'd put easy chairs in the library
. . . be swell to sit in a big Morris chair...
and look at those murals . . . something fasci-
nating about them . . . and they ought to
get rid of these N. Y. A. kids . . . walking
around ... always telling people to be more
quiet... “other people are trying to study”
...1f half the people in the library studied
... well... there wouldn’t have to be any
proctors ... librarians. .

. or whatever you

call these people ... of course ... there are

seem as though the library is as full as it
used to be... should go more often and set

away ... glimpses of the Half Moon coming
up the Hudson . . . and Miss Cobb coming

... don’t look now ... I think the Indians
are coming ... back to studying .. . but did
you ever watch some of these romances pro-

the Commons... watch the
mob go at it... note the
different styles of dancing
.«. Change every year .. .
note the difference between
seniors and frosh ... when
the seniors were young it

was the Big Apple... a

moderate form of a Comanche war dance...
now look at them... they're doing better
than the Comanches themselves ... and

that’s nolie... if you don’t wear your armor

into the Commons . well . . . the way
those kids go at it you’d think there was a
premium on bruised shins...sore corns...
mangled toes . . . and occasionally a bust in
the face . . . elbows are hard animals .

especially when you catch one flush in the
snoot ... you don't believe it... try dancing
there some time .. . the only safe place seems
to be the balcony . . . people who don’t have
life insurance usually prefer the balcony . . .
don't know that I blame them maybe
they re bashful . . . beard of such things .

havent you? . maybe they've been
thwarted in their love life... a triangle with
two sides on the Commons floor . . . also
heard of that once in a while really
nothing new . . . weve had triangles ever
since men came to State... that’s quite a
stretch too... then there are the cynics in
the balcony ... you know...the boys that say

...dancing... sissy stuff... can’t be bothered

HEADNOTE

For one-third of your life your head
rests on a pillow. Why not be sure
that the inside is as clean and sani-
tary as the freshly laundered pillow
case. Killip Pillow Sanitizing re-
moves all feathers from their ticks,
sterilizes them, and returns them,
minus all dust and impurities, to

their freshly laundered ticks. The
charge is only 60c per pillow.

FOOTNOTE

Rugs are constantly subjected to
“the tread of marching feet.” As a
result, dust and grit become em-
bedded in the pile, they get a worn-
out appearance and they lose their
lustre. Killip will call for, clean and
repair your rugs by modern, expert
methods. Let us tell you how reason-
able our charges are.

Once an editor's vision...
Now a staff's pride and joy

Ideas take to paper, and the presses
roll off the finished annual... a4
never-to-be-forgotten achievement for
editor, business manager and col-
leagues.

This 1940 Pepacocue is a record-maker among college yearbooks—an out-
standing tribute to Editor Marie Metz and Business Manager William
Brophy, plus their staff of competent colleagues.

The track for modern yearbooks is fast. Yearbook editors have a task to per-

form, yet one competently guided when the B. J. H. organization acts as coach.

Baker, Jones, Hausauer, Inc. have, since 1898, serviced and produced over one
thousand yearbooks. Each annual is a story in itself of this firm’s competent

assistance, collaboration and service.

To those who ‘‘take over’’ the 1941 Pepacocug, the B. J. H. College Annual
organization provides the finest coach for your yearbook staff. Not just in
smarter format, typography, content and art; not alone in complete publishing
facilities right through binding and delivery—but in those equally vital matters
of budgets, budget control, subscription and advertising revenue—the B. J. H.
organization also gives you thorough professional advisement and assistance.
A Baker, Jones, Hausauer contract means a distinguished book, produced with

least effort, delivered on contract time, at exactly the price agreed upon.
