"Oh, Whet @ beautiful morning.”
WWE WWW ELLA 1 cmamall '
1953... . the last mile . . . we're almost there . almost out in the
field. Just » few more weeks, a few more days now ‘til we're out from
our Alma Mater.
Not so long ago we were just coming into our Alma Mater. Remem-
ber those long registration lines in the old commons, now the library?
And all those confusing cards!! "Five copies, pleate, and in ink.”
Thon more long, long lines into the Co-op for those oh-so-cute bright
red beanies—the receptions in the Richardson lounge, (now the com-
mons), in the gym, and in Pierce Hall? Gosh, how did we ever man-
age without Brubacher?
We slowly learned our way around to Ockios, to the State Ed, to
Ockies, to the W.T., and to Ockies, The female members learned their
way around to many more places—there weren't so many rush rules
that year. There were lunches, and parties and more lunches, Then
suddenly, those woeks were over and the Boul setfled back to normal.
We went through Rivalry, (just @ little confused) but we did make it
through. We started off on the right foot by taking the Campus Day
cup, and—well, we put up a good fight the rest of the way em:
ber Blue Horizons with Pat Carlo and his one flower in his garden,
and Ted McCarthy, cought behind those huge fifteen foot flats for
one entire scene?
Our Sophomore year saw @ wave of baby blue hit the campus, and »
wave of gay young sophisticates hit the baby blue. We sold them
clevator tickets, special late permissions, and Myskania seots. We
had our beanies pinned on our bulletin boards now instead of to our
heads. Another few months of parties and banquets and soph Ed
courses whizzed by. Rivalry was whizzing with it, but this time wo were
on top. And such a grand finale to Rivalry—our Hoppy People with
cast falling downstairs and little red sneakers showing beneath the
curtain during scene changes.
When we returned the next September, we found many new things
besides the green frosh. There was 2 now commons, (now the cafe-
teria), a new dorm complete with snack bar and game room, and a
new commerce building. We became the sister class—quiding and
helping instead of teasing and picking on. The football issue came
up, and eventually went down after heated discussion. The color of
the beanies was changed, Big 4's were thrown out the window. Stu-
dent Union Board was created. On the social side, we were still
having “birthday parties", and our banquet, but the climax was our
Junior Weekend,
above and beyond the call of duty. ...

Remember how it began—hot pizza « la Signor Corsi—and how it
ended—Blue Champagne and orchids, with Queen Bev Pranitis and
@ lovely court of Jean Corigliano, Joan Stocker, Marilyn Adamiak
and Joan Allon. Ah... that wase weekend!! When Moving-Up day
came that year we wore present en masse. This was our day. Re
member breakfast at the Waldorf (cafeteria, of course), all dressed
up in Jolly Junior hats, bands, and canes—trying to learn the songs
and trying not to spill the coffee. Neither attempt was too su ul
was it?
Then we came back for our last stand. The last briefing before we
hit that cruel, cruel world. This year, we returned to another now
commons, and a new cut system, and a new Dean. We watched the
Rivalry proceedings, but not quite so breathlessly as wo watched the
Milne kids and the TPB box. There was forum after forum on govern
ment improvements, on policy precedents, and on budget formula
tion. We tottered around in our high heels, squirmed in our stiff shirt
collars, waded through lesson plans and comedials. Remember those
8:10 conferences with your supervisors? . . ? With gay abandon, wo
sang and Charlostoned our way through our banquet and thon, sud
denly we were at Moving-Up Day again. We sadly, but graciously,
moved over for that wave of baby blue, no longer baby and cer
tainly not blue. And now... but wait. . . it can't be time already
+++ it's Torch night, and why, here we go . 53 is leaving
there goes the banner . . . fading, fading out from our Alma
Mater... So long, Minnie.
If you don't know the words, hum!
Read us a story, Uncle Joe.

On behalf of the entire College, the staff of the PEDAGOGUE
wishes to take this opportunity to extend a warm welcome to Dr.
Lanford as the new Dean of the College, and to extend to him the
best of luck in his new position. Those of us who had the pleasure of
his acquaintance over in Huested in the science department will now
find his office in Draper continuing in the same top-notch efficient
manner we have come to expect of him. Amiability and geniality—
that's Dean Lanford!

The door swings wide, and a quick glance
Cans shows evidence of the business that makes
up Dean Stokes’ day. Our Coeds abound
everywhere, all waiting impatiently for a
few moments with our gracious Dean of
Women. Where to hold the next meeting
—on what day—and countless other prob-
lems are all brought before her. Through
all these quandaries her encouraging ad-
vice and warm smile are ever-ready to pull
us through our momentary crisis. Irreplace-
able—our Dean Stokes!
ELLEN C. STOKES
Calling all men! Calling all men! If you've a problem, anything at j
all, ranging from time distribution for studying to arrangements for 4)
living quarters, Dr. Hartley is the person to see. Our Dean of Men f
has a talent for “cutting unsurmountable problems down to size," and
DAVID HARTLEY making everything seem a little less perturbing. From the moment
you enter his office you're immediately aware of his sincere interest
in your problems, and you are thereby put at ease. A true exponent
of “Southern Hospitality" — that's Dean Hartley! =

And the bend played on
The second floor of Richardson is one of the best places to have
a class. Here you may be serenaded by the glee clubs or orchestre
of our famed music department. Music courses in opera, symphony
and the history of music, too, are becoming increasingly popular.
Listening rooms are now the favorite spot to relax and listen to your
favorites, the “long-haired classics," or the latest hit musical on
Broadway. Try it sometime.
Where's the nearest art museum? Why, on the second floor of
Draper, of course. This is where Miss Hutchin's art students display
their masterpieces. Courses in art history and art appreciation sup-
plement those involving paint and easel. Who knows, we may discover
another Rembrandt among our talented artists one of these days?

Have you ever had any trouble accounting for your weekly allow-
ance? Ask any commerce student and they will be glad to help you
find that lost five cents. Yes, the excellent guidance of our business
instructors has taught us how to handle money efficiently.
Increasing demands for business teachers have caused many great
changes to take place in the Commerce department. Students can
now major and minor in business subjects. They are being taught the
skills of typing and shorthand, plus other vital business material that
will enable them to take their place in the Commerce departments
throughout the various high schools in the State.

Literature, composition, criticism, and speech are just a few of the
aspects which the English Department offers to our students. There
are courses in the novel, poem, essay, play, and short story through
which students become acquainted with all types of literature. Criti-
cism courses offer an analysis of the various forms of literature, and
students have an opportunity to exchange ideas on their inter-
pretations.
Composition enables students to express on paper their emotions
and opinions on various topics of the day. The speech courses teach
them how to put over these ideas emphatically before an audience.
Through these studies students are provided with all the opportunities
to enjoy this world through a mastery of the English language.

these are only a few of the many educators which
every student will remember. We have been able to
comprehend a knowledge of these men and their
ideas due to the efforts of our Education depart-
ment.
The main objective of this department is to give
us an understanding of young people and the com-
munity in which they live. In this way, we will be
capable of meeting the increasing demand of Amer-
ican youth for superior teaching and guidance.

Dates, names, and places are no longer of para-
mount importance in the social studies department.
Social studies majors as well as those who are meet-
ing the requirements find that history is no longer
a study of the by-gone past. The courses which are
being offered are now invigorating and appealing
even to the least interested. They acquaint us with
the past and present so that we will be able to
interpret the future. Through the fields of economics,
sociology, and political science we are being pre-
pared to meet the problems of the atomic age. A
superior staff of instructors, who are pleasant and
helpful, are capably preparing us as the teachers
of tomorow to meet this challenge.

There we were—Juniorsl—past the trials and tribulations of being
Frosh and the semi tication of phomore days. Now we
could take a more objective view of Rivalry—being at last
beyond it—and could rominisce over our own experienc
past two years.
We began our year by electing leaders for the flock—Marv Chernoff
as President, John Allasio as Veep, Kay Oberst as Treasurer, Faith
Hanton as Secretary, George Hathaway as Publicity Manager and
Jean Rasey as Songleader. With such capable people to lead us,
we flew into the first frantic weeks as Juniors.
First we met our sister class, the Frosh of "56, and initiated them to
State with the Junior Guide Reception, organized by Pete MacManus
and Nancy Whittle. Almost before we could rest our wings, we were
rushed into the All College Reception, which was one of the big
successes of the year, thanks to Pam Calabrese, chairwoman. Later
in the term, ‘54 and ‘56 combined their talents to put forth a Sister
Class Revue, "Flapperette.”
At last came the day when the Bluejays were officially "banded" —

Who will forget all the bull-sessions in the Commons and in the

at State,
Along with these memories we must include the election of class
officers and rivalry. We chose Bill Small to be our Prexy, with Mary
Brezny as Veep. Maurice Bovier handled money matters for the

The Rivalry scene opened on Campus Day with the track and field
events, and our first skit put together as Frosh, Though we didn't
do too well in the track and field events, we got off to an ex
start with the skit, and managed to steal that from the Sophs quite
easily. Pushball and Banner Hunt appeared on our Rivalry agenda
and after beating the Sophs at pushball, a huge number of us turned
out to succeed in finding the Soph banner and in keeping our own.
Ping pong, swimming, debate, volleyball, basketball, sings, and all
the other rivalry events soon appeared and captured our interest and
ability. Throughout all we agreed that the Sophs were fine sports in
both victory and defeat, even though they were glum at defeat, and
at times overbearing after a victory.

Junior Weekend proved to be a most wonderful weekend in '53's
memories. Who'll ever forget the Friday night party here at school
complete with melt-in-your-mouth pizza pie by none other than our
own Jean Corigliano and chef Carmen “Casolaro” Corsi? Bill Adams
furnished entertainmont for the evening with those mystifying magic
tricks of his. For further magic...
“Just checking!”
On Saturday evening, the Crossroads banquet room in Latham was
transformed into an enchanted ballroom. A huge goblet brimming
with crystal-blue champagne poured its sparkling contents over the
dancers from above the main doorway, and a magical champagne
filled fountain bubbled sleepily in the corner.
As the clock struck twelve, the dancing couples heard the familiar
"A Protty Girl Is Like A Melody” and the lovely Junior Prom Queen,
Beverly Pranitis, escorted by her four royal attendants, Joan Allen,
Joan Stocker, Marilyn Adamiak, and Jean Corigliano ascended the
white carpet to the throne. Here, Queen Bev was crowned with a
tiara of baby orchids and pearls; a very beautiful queen—and @ very

As the classes filed into their respective places
familiar strains of the ever-popular "Old Seniors

the Frosh who were finally leaving their “Ivory Tower". The assembly
adjourned to Page Field where the respective classes formed their

straining speech the morning activities were onded.
The evening's entertainment consisted of the rivalry skits and the
sing. Then came the long-awaited event — the presentation of the
rivalry cup. Bob Donnelly expounded with the usual speech while the
Sophs and Frosh waited with impatience. Suddenly came tho loud
‘and mighty cheer — this time from the class of ‘54 while the Frosh
came back with a determined “Wait ‘til next year!” The evening
ended with the Step Song as our never-to-be-forgotten Seniors
moved out into the “wide, wide world”.

SA PROCLAMATION
To the Public:
This is hereby an announcement and proclamation of various ac
ties undertaken during the year of 1952-53 in the Royal Council
room, considering the events from the largest Lannon to the smallest
Small,
During the year the grand old vizers—Telfer, the old man of the hills:
Smith, the wise man; Keller, tho huntrass; and Bonahue, the peace
mater, led on by their grand old man, Lombardi, the warchief, put
their names into ignominy for all time. At the mighty election hall
when the free vote was extonded to all, why then did Lannon an-
nounce, that for “Campus Queen", all present were to sign their
pink slips!
Sed, nt |
Mr. President
Veep — Brown
*** The Colonies Abdicated *
At the beginning of the year did Telfer announce that he would take
care of the library nights change? Then the library was open on
Mondays and Wednesdays. Today, after conferences and great revo-
lutions in thought, we go to the library on Mondays and Wednesdays.
The assomblies were assembled by the fearsome Keller and Bonahue.
The warpaths of the green and the yellow were led by peaceful Joo.
Their total record was mighty, but vague.
The vice-consuls to the old men wore Pat, dean of the republic and
the constitution, that document which has lasted through the ages
and defies change. Payne, the social one and in charge of all extro-
verts, could always be found walking through the halls of Draper Pal
ace staring at a mammoth calendar. And Rosenbaum, the great
elucidator, attended to meetings with the most high teachors of learn-
ing. Combined with Metternich McManus of the legal book, and led
by the peacefinder Chernoff, everything combined resulted in the
abolition of the peoples of the state.
The one year veterans, the gromlins green, performed to the edvan-
tages of few. Wittschen, knitting Marilyn, of the nevor-finished-
stocking took care of seating in the great meeting hall. When no
one came, Marilyn saved all by sending white missiles into the green
openings that devoured them. Combs of the wit, planned the social
events, and lacovone, the laborer, solved the problem of assembly
cutting the first semester, The results are in @ report to be submitted
in "63. Lockhart, gone to fight the wars of the republic, was suc-
ceeded by the school teacher and scholar, Inglis. Leader of the pack
was practical Coan of the rivalry path. Accomplishments were too
numerous to mention or dare disclose.
The fledgling fifty-sixes came from the large citios, the small towns,
and the rolling farms to lend their advice to the great minds. Betscha
of the short hair and the flying feet, joined with the fomale trium-
virate of Cordelia Conway, Ophelia Baxter, and Midge Fisher. These
four artists prepared an artistic poster with the never-dry paint. Led
by big Small, an “amazing” amount of things were left to be desired.
Our guiding light, Lannon, the architect, showed his groat talents by
decaning @ Grecian plaque for eternity. The veep, Brown, spent a
difficult year juggling finences and @ bank book all year. But through
careful spending, Brown's new Caddie will arrive in June. Battisti,
of the "Who seconded that motion?” fame, took the minutes in one
of the longest short hands ever displayed.

It's in "53's hands now.
Despite many fears to the contrary among the NEWS staff as that Wednesday night
deadline approached, the STATE COLLEGE NEWS continued to make its weekly
appearance this year, eminating from the now-not-so-now P.O. in Brubacher. Under
the leadership of “Chief” Peace, the paper progressed through an eventful year of
work, worries, and foolishness not soon to be forgotten,
Returning in September, we found ourselves at the outset understaffed and having to
compete with the Snack Bar for the presence of reporters in the P.O. We managed
to struggle through the first semester, and, after Koszewski and Mayakis, Co-Managing
Editors, had had @ chance to drill those style sheets and headline counts into the heads
of many eager Frosh, they took them on as cub reporters, thus establishing a new
system of promotion,
If you have been anywhere around the Publications Office on a Tuesday or Wednesday
night, you can't have missed hearing a famous Lynch-Zuch duet, as these two illus-
triouses provided the musical background for the week's crop of comedy. Likewise,
you will have heard the explanations of Associate Editors Lynch, Eldred, and Gerig
as they labored to fill those fifteen holes, or of Feature Editor Surtes as she poured
‘over the exchange or searched for an idea for that box. Never to be forgotten is the
night when the copy editor was dubbed "sloppy editor" and when feature and make-up
became “creature” and "make-out” editors respectively. Thon there was the night
when the NEWS was almost stymied by a combination of measles and flu. It was then
that we seriously considered printing a fourth page of spots in honor of the disease
which had finally outdone us, but, once more, we demonstrated to our own satisfaction
that all things are possible.
Over in the sports office (left hand side of the P.O.) Editor Abe Biattman led his staff
As the year progressed, we did not lack for social functions with the traditional "Lack
of Talent Show” and the annual banquet which this year consisted of an over leisurely
dinner at the Petit Paris. Then there was the New York conference where we lived a
little and learned a lot (about journalism, of course!) as we herded our delegation of
eight about the big city. Not to be forgotten, too, are those enlightening Board
meetings where the policy of the paper was established, those vital matters of busi.
ness taken care of, and where Hank always had an opinion. (On any subject — just
name it!) With the aid of Brezinsky and Platt, Co-Public Relations Editors, we man-
aged to publicly relate ourselves and keep the outgoing basket full (of telephone books,
carbon paper, old copy, and the likel). Then State Fair week arrived and the editorial
staff gave vent to their long suppressed ideas of humor in our “competition”, the
STAID COLLEGE GNUS. At long last, we used that oft-times contemplated headline
“Faculty Feet".
We work willingly ??
in carrying on the traditional rivalry between sports and editorial staffs. Saat who
id work closest to the 12 o'clock deadline and still get to press!) In this he was
bly aided by Doris Doherty, Senior Sports Member. After multitudinous errors,
orts staff finally learned that, in order to protect itself, it would have to send a
representative to Hudson! Never to be forgotten are those last minute sports column
heads, especially the proposed "Trash by Ash”.
Behind the scenes worked Business Manager Jordine Skoff and her newly combined
business and advertising staffs. Thanks to their efficiency, the books somehow’balanced
and the ads managed to appear when and where they were supposed to. Over in the
folding, stamping, and addressing department, Maryellen Sigler, Circulation Editor,
and her staff, kept the paper moving out regularly to subscribers.
At long last the addressograph machine was received and put into service this year.
(We finally gave up completely on those tapes.) Although we waited in vain for our
Exchange Rack, Murry Woodman, Exchange Editor, managed to set up and keep in
order (for the first five minutes, anyway) a makeshift rack in the Student Union,
Most newsites will tell you that there's something to the excitement of those last min-
ute headlines written on the train, those stories dictated over the phone, and that
midnight ride back from Hudson Thursday night with papers safely stored in the roar
and all over for another week which makes them glad to be associated with such an
organization. Occasionally they'll also tell you that they're crazy to go fo all the work
ond worry, but we're sure they'll all admit that, although we've had to contend with
problems from blank pages to fill to presses that refused to run, we've lived in the
thick of things this year, and we've had fun.

“Someone has been complaining
About the odor of our cheap glue.”

Music lovers all
Music Council swung into action by welcoming the Class of '56 to
musical activities at State. That evening of games, refreshments, and
getting to know each other really proved beneficial to all.
In October, when the rustle of skirts and murmur of low voices had
died down, Joan DeVinny, president of Music Council, opened a
new season of music at the college. The Stokes-Peterson Concert
was a fine beginning.
Next on the program was the Don Cossack Chorus. No one will for-
get those brilliant costemes, the dancing and knife throwing, plus
“standing room only", And for days after, some were still talking
about the singers they met back stage.
January brought a most enjoyable assembly program of choral num:
bers. “Frankio and Johnnie" took the spotlight, but with such variety,
the highbrows and lowbrows alike left Page with a melody running
through their brains.
N. Brown, J. De Vinny, W. Nash
Jean Casadesus warmed the hearts and minds of his audience with
his sensitive interpretations of familiar classical pieces in March.
Never could we imagine that the piano in Page Hall had such po-
tential. The reception afterwards gave many an evening to remember,
This May, Music Council presented a Spring Festival with the instru-
mental ensembles and soloists with orchestral accompaniment one
evening, while the choral groups, with a wide range of numbers,
offered another whole evening of enjoyment.
—"this our last concert of the year closed another season made
possible by a hard working Music Council. Willie Nash struggled
with the budget and line transfers, and Madelyn Meier kept track
of our changes in the constitution and meetings. And if only there

Yes, the dorm field is a pretty active place when W.A.A. commences its athletic program for the year. Directed by
managers under the supervision of W.A.A. council, girls from every class participate in sports, become acquainted,
learn techniques, and just plain enjoy themselves. Field hockey, soccer, volleyball, and archery are just 2 few of the
fall sports which provide relaxation and enjoyment.
The annual bus trek to Camp Johnston for the Frosh Frolic provides an invitation to become further acquainted with
that [i'l log cabin. The wide open spaces and a chance to really “rough it” are only a few of the opportunities at Camp
Johnston. Here the girls may do as they please, though they have to chop wood and build a fire once in a while, too.
With the close of the Fall season, WAA's Coker entered the spotlight at Hallowe'en time. To get into the spirit of

Basketball is the major winter sport. League games provided competition and excitement. Without conflicts with the
weather man which allowed only one hockey playday with Green Mountain, WAA participated in three basket.
ball playdays with Skidmore, Russell Sage, North Adams, and New Paltz. Along this line, WAA tries to promote
friendly relations among area high schools, while getting at the same time, a little teaching experience. Several near-by
high schools were invited to playday here at State which proved successful on the part of everyone concerned.
But not to let other would-be-aspirants out of the picture, tumbling, cheering, swimming, bowling, ping-pong, and
other team and individual sports are offered. All of these intramurals and clubs are integrated with college life no
matter what the season.

The MAA intramural program of this year offered « most
adequate program of competitive sports for interested ath
letes.
League Manager Jim Fox got the program off to # fast star!
with two smoothly run touch football leagues. It was nine
man football with eight teams in each league. The fraternity
teams dominated both leagues. The final playoff pitted the
arch-rivals, APA and Potter Club. After playing two tie
games, Potter finally triumphed 14-0 gaining football laurels
for the 1952 season.
By November intramural bowling was in full swing with Ralph
Moot acting os league manager and chief statistician. T
upstairs and downstairs facilities of Rice's Bowling Alleys
accommodated the two bowling leagues. Thurlow Hall,
paced by a froth aggregation, copped League A, while SLS
garnered first place in the "B" League.
Co-commissionors Lynn Lewis and Walt Rehder worked at
the schedules and playoffs for the Basketball intramural pro:
gram. Eighteen teams made up the three leagues. The
LOFB (Legion of Forgotten Ball Players), Potter Club, and
Summit House proved to be the powerhouses in their respec
tive leagues, outshining all competition,
Claude Palczak ran the softball leagues. Play culminated with
2 playoff in each league between the two top teams. Play
off berths went to APA, St. Mary's Rockets, Potter Club, and
the Potter Grads. APA came through in the final playoff
against Potter Club to sweep the softball crown
We play a leisurely game...
Volleyball rounded out the intramural offerings. League af-
fairs were handled by Arnie Smith and Dick Kirsch.
Marked progress was seen in the newly organized Wrestling
Club under the guidance of Coach Joe Garcia. The club is
open to all interested in learning to wrestle. It paves the
way for possible insertion of wrestling into the varsity sports
program in the future. The club wrestled various Prep schools,
YMCA teams, and two year colleges in the area.
Rifle Club also found its place in State's intramural pro-
gram. In the Spring, golf and tennis tournaments concluded
another successful year of intramural sports, A good time
was had by all,

Under the direction of Grand Marshal Owen Smith, Campus Commission began its
efforts early in the fall, to keep the school in tip-top shape. The Commission members
were the unseen regulators of the more important features of our non-academic life—
for example, the bulletin boards, the Commons, the Lounge, and the mailboxes. They
were the ''disc-jockeys'’ that furnished the dance music at noon in the Commons. They
were also the ushers, who channelled the mass exitus from assembly every Friday. In
addition to this, the Commission was in charge of the “Coke” machine and the mimeo-
graph machine, and regulated the use of posters.

Good afternoon. This is Radio Council of New York State College for Teachers, bring-
ing you an up-to-the-minute report on latest events.
Radio Council President William Floyd announces that he has just received word that
the Radio Council show "Musically Speaking" has won top Hooper Rating award of
the year. Doris Hagen, principal disk jockeyess, has reportedly turned down all N.B.C.
contracts. Miss Hagen states she is wedded to her art here at State College.
An unidentified contestant, who appeared on R.C.'s quiz show "Break the Bucket" at
State Fair has been jailed for failure to pay income tax on his winnings. Vice-President
Richard Wood says through a misunderstanding, the contestant thought these win-
nings could be listed under charities.
Treasurer Sylvia Semmler announces via her column “Tuning in the Town" that a dra-
matic reading, "Don Jose in Purgatory", will be presented next week at Page.
That's all for now. Tune in next week when Radio Council will again bring you news and
views at State.

Last October we had hopes of putting out a series of three issues of
PRIMER this year, but our plans failed to materialize. Then, later on,
after we started receiving material for the traditional single publica-
tion, we forgot our earlier disappointment. The material had to be
judged and selected, and a galley proof had to be set up and read.
It took time, and when everything was ready for the printer's ink we
were glad and justifiiably proud. Some very talented people had
contributed their fiction and poetry, and several other equally cap-
able people had illustrated the book.
The staff—Madelon Knoerzer, editor; Marietta Wiles, literary editor;
George Hathaway, art editor; and Faith Hanson, business manager—
Madelon Knoerzer, Editor-in-Chief and many other literary enthusiasts endeavored to maintain the stand-
ards of quality and general-college interest that have become the
criteria of PRIMER. We hope we succeeded in making it good read-
ing for you this year. Content like the following makes us feel that
we may have.

See ya down at Neighborhood House!
Been to Neighborhood House lately? This is a question you may
hear at a meeting of Intergroup Council. In the community the
Council has organized and supervised activities such as the Clin-
ton Square Neighborhood House where children are given the
opportunity to learn arts and crafts and participate in wholesome
recreation,
1.G.C. also works to develop better intergroup relations on cam-
pus. The Council tries to give students a richer and fuller under-
standing of inter-cultural problems. The group also communicates
with Councils at other colleges, learning of their problems and
the work they do.
The Council's calendar of events includes both educational and
social activities, such as noted lecturers, excellent films, and social
dances. The members of |.G.C. are interested in seeing that
today's youths are developed into better citizens of tomorrow.

With the collegiate debate proposition for the year: Resolved that the Congress of the United
States should enact a Compulsory Fair Employment Practices Law, Debate Council launched
another season of debate with fifty colleges and many high schools.
In December a cab pulled up in front of Draper and out stepped two Britishers, complete with
cockney accents. Debate Council had asked them to visit us and vie with one of our teams in
a round of facts and wits. Result: The wits keynoted the occasion with a memorable battle of
speech-making that the onlookers will never forget!
Experience was gained by our 30 new debaters who were given an opportunity to meet teams
away and at home. How did we do? Well—the author of this poem prefers to remain ananymous
for—obvious reasons. However, | extend my apologies to both Longfellow and Emily Dickinson.

Bet I'll flunk this test.
Stevenson or Eisenhower—which would it be? This was the big ques-
tion confronting Forum the first part of this year. To delve into this
issue we sponsored such speakers as John Forner, a Republican can-
didate for Congress, Daniel MacNamie, Democratic chairman, and
Stanley Bookstein, a publicity director. Not content to listen to sec-
ond-hand information, Forum made it possible for interested students
to see and hear both of the main presidential candidates at the R.P.I.
Fieldhouse. The impression of these vast rallies will remain with them
for years. After listening to the above speakers, students represent-
ing each party gave a heated debate supporting their favorite can-
didates. For the benefit of all students who could not attend our
functions, our bulletin boards displayed colorful material from both
parties. Question of the year—what happened to the Stevenson
poster?
Our speakers this year talked on a wide variety of topics—Austria,
Pakistan, and France. Outstanding was Granville Hick's presentation
of the Communist appeal to American intellectuals. Also interest-
ing was a lecture on the political aspects of American history.
To widen our horizons of world affairs, we made it possible for many
students to attend state-wide conferences. Among these were the
St. Lawrence Model Security Council session at Canton where we
represented France, and the C.C.U.N. at Cornell where we took the
part of Honduras.
The Mock Senate again gave eight of our students excellent practice
in legislative procedure and debate.
Soapbox was greatly improved this year. Student opinions of political
events were openly expressed and circulated widely throughout State
College. Our speaker, Doug Nielsen, kept everything functioning
smoothly and inspired a most successful year for Forum.

There is an organization on campus whose main purpose is that of getting its members
together to have a good time. Commuter's Club is this organization open to students
of State College not living in group houses.
The club sponsored its annual Soc-Hop in October. Prizes were given for flashiest
socks, smallest and largest feet. In May, there is the Moving-Up Day dance to high-
light the weekend. Various other activities are a picnic, their newspaper, and parties
on wheels—roller skating that is!
Commuter's Club began the year with Donald Cook as president. Joy Longo led the
club for the remainder of the year. The other officers are George Wood, Vice-Presi-
dent; Liz Becker, Secretary; Paul Saimond, Treasurer; and Publicity Director, Carole
Sanders.
Soc-Hop Capers
Sd Varsity Ciiban Fellowship
Is there a God? If so, is He personal, or is He far-removed from our lives? If God be personal, can we
know Him? These are questions which everyone at some time or another has asked. In answer, the historic
Christian faith as contained in the Scriptures replies affirmatively to each question.
If then, it is possible to know God, how is this achieved? To adequately and truly know a person one
must identify oneself with that person. Thus, it follows to know God, man must identify himself with God,
even become like God. However, can man in and of himself, strive to be like God and reach this almost
impossible goal? Many have tried; many have failed. There must be another way. The Scriptures again
come to our aid and declare that God Himself has provided a Way, for “God was in Christ reconciling
the world unto Himself." (Il Cor. 5:19) Thus there was a Divinely given Mediator by Whom man can
alone know God and Who alone satisfied a righteous, all-powerful God's demand for perfection.
Anyone who becomes a Christian, then, need no longer stand before God in and of himself, for One,
even Christ, stands at his side. This One, many years ago, presented Himself, in each person's stead, on
a hill called Calvary and there accomplished everything that God had justly demanded for the individual
—namely the putting away of each individual's sins from His sight.
So, then, Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship has as its main purpose the proclamation of this good news
of what God has done for man in Christ. To this end every activity—each lecture, each joint meeting
with R.P.I. and Union, each conference at Camp Pinnacle in the Helderberg Mountains, each party,
each sport's weekend—was dedicated.
Hence, to each individual IVCF offers a faith that is practical, workable, and which has survived and
more than conquered every phase of life and every trend of human thought from the arena of ancient
Rome to the humanism of modern scientific America.
The Student Christian Association's first function this year was welcoming
the Frosh and new students of State at the annual “Frosh Frolic’ the first
week of school. This was the beginning of many activities for SCA
this year.
Our organization was fortunate this year in having the State wide Student
Christian Movement Conference in October close-by at R.P.I. The Con-
ference accented Christian Social Action. SCA again sponsored the
traditional State College Sunday, held every Campus Day weekend. This
year the First Reformed Church of Albany was host.
Campus Chest also gave SCA the task again this year of solicitations for
the Campus Chest Drive. Besides our bi-monthly meetings a noonday
Chapel is held every Wednesday at the Park United Presbyterian Church
on Western Ave. Many Clergymen from the Albany area aid in making
this period a refreshing one in the middle of the hectic school week.
The 2nd annual Christmas Sing began the holiday spirit for the school.
Ten fine choral groups participated. Miss Colby, our helpful advisor,
again opened her doors at 300 State Street during the Advent Season
every Wednesday evening for a dinner-discussion series. Miss Colby also
played hostess for the Lenten Season.
SCA will have had two sets of officers this year under a new system to
aid in making for a better program. Officers filling in the interim for the
first semester were Paul Ward ‘53, president, Natalie Green '54, Vice-
President.

Hillel, a national organization devoted to furthering social, cultural, and religious life
among Jewish students, began at State as a very small group. It has grown since then,
with the valuable aid of the B'nai B'rith lodge, until it now plays an important role in
the lives of many students.
With the assistance and guidance of its counselor, Rabbi Harold Schecter, Hillel has
sponsored many successful activities this year. Hillel's year began with the annual
Freshman Reception, at which its new members became acquainted with the aims of
the organization.
Throughout the year Hillel sponsored several Friday night services. At one of these it
was greatly honored by having Dr. Evan R. Collins, President of our college, as guest
speaker.
As in previous years, a Passover seder was held in March. The entire faculty and stu-
dent body was invited. Each year this occasion provides an opportunity for all faiths
to learn something about the Jewish religion.
Two Lox and Bagel breakfasts were held during the year, furnishing good food and
enlightening discussions for all who attended. The Chanukah party, with refreshments
donated by the women of B'nai B'rith, was also enjoyed by all. These activities helped
to make this a very successful year for Hillel.

Smiles is an organization which offers State students an opportunity to work with young
children, namely those at the Albany Home for Children. Here they gain not only
valuable experience, but also a great deal of personal satisfaction.
Smiles’ activities range from chaperoning to sponsoring athletic events. Each year
the group fosters a number of activities including spring and fall outings, Christmas
and Easter parties, soccer, basketball and softball games. During certain evenings in
the week an individual student can work with a particular hobby group, tutor or aid
the Home's regular staff in some way.
This year the fall outing consisted of a trip to the Catskill Game Farm. There was a
fine turnout and everyone had a fine time.

and to the Commerce Club. One of the most important
events of the year was the spring conference. This meet-
ing brought to the prospective teachers, as well as many
area teachers, the benefit of hearing famous speakers
in the business field. Many displays and demonstrations
were presented which would be helpful to the classroom
teacher. The year's activities were concluded with a
banquet and an annual picnic for the students and the
faculty.
Distributive Education Club, new on campus, is a service organization with the purpose of improving the distribution
process by having businessmen and students work together. On DE Day in March members spent the day at different
Albany stores finding out practical information on retail store operation. - .
The officers are: Douglas Adamson, President; Kenneth Everard, Vice President; Marie Mortelliti, Secretary; Charles
Milham, Treasurer; and Publicity Director, Eli Ballin. The Faculty Advisor is Mr. Reno Knouse.

ERRASANR
No amorous manifestations allowed.
Student Union Board had a successful year in both the acqui-
sition of new facilities and the continuation and extension of
last year's social program.
The social season was booted off to a fine start with the First
Annual Soccer Dance. Barbara Law met the goals of the
State kickers when she was elected Soccer Queen. The queen
had Dean Strickland as her regal counterpart. King Dean |
was elected Most Valuable Player by his teammates and was
awarded a trophy at the dance.
Two Coffee Hours, one each semester, with both faculty and
students in attendance, met with fine success. The Union
also saw eight basketball dances, held after State home
games. Four of these events had the advantage of a "‘live”
orchestra while the other four used the juke box for music.
At the start of second semester, after Fran Allen took over
the reins of Chairmanship from Rudy DeSantolo, the big
acquisition of the year was made—the TV set which has pro-
vided hours of entertainment since. Those flashy paddle
wielders (ping pong, that is) of the game room got a new
table and in keeping with the bouncing theme, a 3 speed
record player was purchased for general usage in the Union.
For the more literary minded, a library was set up in the
lower lounge with book gifts from the American Association
of University Women.

.'F ter--Sorority Count
Wandering into « meeting of Inter-Sorority Council, the casual visitor might
have identified somo of ifs members by their most frequent comments. For
instance:
Isabel "Aren't there any commerce majors here besides me?" Martin,
Audrey "Let's vote" Cahill,
Joan “What was the motion?” Bolz,
Ruth "You know, | was just thinking” Poole,
Pat “Let's get your dues in" Butler,
Irene "Does anyone have a cigarette?” Brezinsky,
Pat "Let's get hold of that bankbook" Wilkerson.
Although it might at times have seemed completely disorganized, the council
successfully survived another year, accomplishing a number of important
things.
First semester rushing began with the seven sororities’ playing host to ebout
two hundred sixty-five Frosh. Just before Thanksgiving the freshmen women
dressed in their prettiest formals and were transported to a mythical kingdom,
Heaven, A Night at the Nickelodeon, etc., depending upon ‘he thaiwa of the
sorority of their choice. By vacation time, they were pledged to @ sorority.
During November the policy of sorority houses’ exchanging dinner guests once
a month was instituted. The program was successful despite such functional
problems as the complicated exchange schedule ("Where do we go this
month?") and, "What time do you eat, 5:30 or 62”
Second semester came, and with it formal and informal initiation of Frosh.
Again this year "Hell-Weok” was ro-named “Help-Week,” and pledges made
door to door campaigas for the Red Cross, helped Smiles at Albany Home,
shined shoes and held Chinese auctions for the benefit of the Muscular Dystro-
phy Fund. However, Hell-night remained, after which the pledges soon
relaxed.
Spring brought with it the formals; Kappa Delta, Gamma Keppa Phi, Bete
Zeta and Phi Delta sponsored theirs in February, while Psi Gamma, Chi Sigma
‘and Alpha Epsilon Phi waited until Alumni Weekend in May for theirs.
year came to a close, Treasurer Pat Butler gave her last report, Secre-
tary Pat Wilkerson submitted the final minutes and resident Sandra
Coben gave opprovel as resident Kay Sinclair banged the gavel dismissing the
council for summer vacation.

In early October, we sat back and watched the arrival of the annual Intorfraternity

this gathering, the freshmen got their first glimpse of fraternity men in action
receiving @ Prospectus, which would be on additional guide in making the right
choice when they considered pledging a fraternity in early March.
October sho sow three representatives from Kappa Delta Rho come before us and
momentarily shock the entire council as they informed us that the Gamma chapter of
Kappa Delta Rho had resigned from the national frat
local fraternity—Alpha Pi Alphe. We, who had been striving for @ long
nity and was forming a new
ime to dis
pense with any racial or religious clauses in our fraternities, wholcheartedly and en
thusiastically accepted the change, as did the faculty, the students, and the towns
people themselves.
Winter soon arrived, and with it December and Wintorlude—the annual formal dance
sponsored by Intersorority-Interfraternity Council. We donned our tuxedoes, selected
our favorite belles, and attended our ball, dancing to the soft, sweet rhythms of the

And then it was May. Our respective pledges were initiated, and Moving Up Day was

cided to have one last fling. Fraternity men picked their sorority sweethearts as part

ners, and all attended Interfraternity Council's bridge party. Hore, in 2 cory, informal
atmosphere, we all enjoyed our last social function of 1953. With it, we moved over
for our replacements and successors, os the year finally, but too qui

The sunshine seven
The presidents of the various group houses for
women form Residence Council. It functions under
the cooperation of the Dean of Women and the
Faculty Housing Committee to see that certain
regulations involving student conduct on campus
are enforced.
Throughout the year, the Judicial Board with Julie
Korba as "Chief Justice", Marge Alguire, court
recorder, Peg Smith, Aliki Apostolides and Anna
Oberst as “assistant justices” have hoard every ex-
cuse imaginable from a flat tire to just plain forget-
ting how to tell time. When the hands of the clock
move past twelve o'clock for the Frosh or one for the
upperclassmen, a few warnings or campuses have to
be issued to girls who need @ brush-up course on
how to use 2 wrist watch.
This year's Residence Council finally won its caso
allowing the females at State to enter the fraternity
houses without chaperones. Now everyone can en-
joy the shows on TV, instead of just the fellows who
had a monopoly on the sets.
Nights at the round table.
Officers of Ven Derzee during the '52.’53 term were: President—
Bob Massey, Vice President—Francis Rogers, Secrotary—Sem Bron-
ner, Treasurer—Archie Westmiller, Sports Director—James Bombard,
and Social Director—Francis Rogers.

And now...
Our work is finished. The '53 PEDAGOGUE is in our hands, a complete
record of "those good old days" that mean so much as time goes on.
Many people, some part of the college and some outside it, have con-
tributed to making our book an interesting history of the past four years
at State. We owe our thanks to all—to the Junior and Senior staffs, to
the individual seniors whose help at deadline time was invaluable, and to
the members of the faculty and administration who guided and advised
us throughout the year.
Then, too, thanks to the Myers Publishing Company who made yearbook
planning and production both educational and good fun through the work
of George Humphrey. Our photographer, Walter Kelly, merits our grati-
tude for showing more patience and pleasant business relations than we
could ever hope for. Our old friends Sylvia and Dick helped again both
materially and with many original ideas, and Mr. and Mrs. Hathaway
suffered hair-raising experiences which never put them out of their good
humored cooperation with the staff. These are the people who were the
silent workers, to whom we say "Thanks—for everything."
Sincerely,
"Ronnie"
