They have taught us how to differentiate between good and evil, how to evaluate the worth of words, and how to deal with varying situations. We have learned of individual and of uni' versal life in their entirety-what made them as they are, and how we might make them better. Our training, also, has enriched us in our understanding of people and through the actions of others, we have learned much about ourselves. In the light of this, therefore, what is more appropriate than to mold this record of our days at Elmira around the three great stages of all life-the Past, the Present, and the Future? X ,. . '1 .

Dr. and Mrs. Karl Dannenfeldt DEDICATIO Actually, the dedication does not lie in these words alone, but in the heart of every member of Hftyftwo. Each one of us realizes how much we would have missed if we had not come to know such wonderful, sincere people as the Dannenfeldts. The Sunday night suppers, the Koffee Klatches in the Cowle Bin, and the undying support of our various activities all went into making them the perfect Patron Saints. More dear to us, however, was the open door and ready hospitality, the unfailing "hello", and the active interest they so generously showed toward each one of us. This book, then, is a small part of the complete "thank you" which we hope someday can be manifested in its entirety to our Elmira parents,-Dr. and Mrs. Dannenfeldt. At home with the Dannenfcldts vw?

Their chief responsibilities are to do whatever may be necesf sary to improve the extrafcurricular life of the students and to encourage active interest and participation in all of the clubs and classes. Among its more specific obligations are the planning of the social calendar and the appointment of Centennial Chairman and the all' college Christmas party chairman. It also provides a central body which can promote interfgroup cooperaa tion and aid. In their meetings, these twentyfone girls discuss any problem which a member society may be having, and bring it to the attention of the student body and faculty. From these discussions have come many sugf gestions which have considerably improved life out' side the classroom for all members of the college community. 1 T J ' O? K1 '7 0 E 54-N 29 Doris Carlson, Secretary Marilyn Hezinger, President I9 , X-, Rule regulators STUDENT GGVERNMENT Whenever we are asked about Elmira College, one of the first points We think of to explain is that we are under an Honor System, and that the immediate ref sponsibilty for the smoothfrunning student affairs is invested in a governing body of the students them' selves. Elmira is not unique in these respects, but it is one of the few colleges where such a system has been successfully tried and established. Individually and collectively this success belongs to us, who, through our belief and cooperation in this democratic system, strengthen it with the years. As with the larger democracies of the world, so with our own selffgoverning community, the earnest' ness and integrity of each individual, those governed as Well as those governing, determine the quality and success of this system. In signing the honor pledge, we are pledging ourselves to the responsibilities and active support of a system under which we are proud to live. Government gals . .l 31 FELLCWSHIP STUDENT Student Fellowship on the campus of Elmira has tried to bring about a better understanding of the different religious denominations. Especially this year, it has tried to show us how important religion is in our daily lives, and what relation religion has to the world crises. The talks during Religious Emphasis Days by Rev. Mr. William Kirkland and the discussions led by him were most enlightening and were a real inspiration bringing questions to our minds, and provoking us to think. Vesper services each Sunday night provided a few minutes each week for us to be quiet and thought- ful together. The candlelight service at Christmas time was particularly beautiful, and made us all feel that someday there would truly be Peace on Earth. The annual Christmas bazaar saved us many steps, and was a big success. Christmas cards were sold on campus. The proceeds of the bazaar and the Christmas card sale were as always put in the Silver Bay fund to be used by our delegates this spring. Members of the student body attended Student Christian Movement conventions. Exam teas where students and faculty alike found a cup of tea and cookies most relaxing, were sponsored by Student Fellowship. This year during' the membership drive, students not only signed a membership card, but they also hlled out an activity sheet stating what they would like to do in connection with Student Fellowship. This inf creased the active participation of the student body. Student Fellowship was this year under the direction of President Joan Lowry. 32 M Silver Bay oe f j J J ,Q 4-C65 Q, .ses S. F.

The problems we faced were not typical of those which faced most of the youth of the world, but they were nonefthefless real. Production began this year with a presentation by the class of '51 of "Goodbye My Fancy", written by Fay Kanin. The play had a special meaning for all of us, since the author had been a student at our college, and the play was in part based on life here. Sometime after' wards, the junior Thespis presented "The Young and Fair", a drama by N. Richard Nash. This play also dealt with the life and the problems which arise in a girls' school. Although the casts in both productions gave excellent performances, not all of the credit must be given to them alone, for without the patient guidf ance of Miss Morrow, Miss Quinlan, and Miss Fitch, we would have been little short of amateurs. We must remember also those behind the scenes and the ofhcers of organization. Through the efforts of many people, Thespis has had a very successful year. The terminaf tion of the season with the June Play will prove that "All's well that ends well!" , 35 i - 1 41' JoAnn Cipolla, editor 9, 'S . .- w -ll fi' ., """"'l .,,, - 254 1 Y ' . 2. .. .

There are talks onFrench works of art and innumerable games are played. Records and biographical sketches are favorites. Often films are obtained which give us an insight into the life of the French Republic. The early activities of the circle are climaxed by a gala Christmas party. The group undertakes the trim' ming of the tree in Tompkins' Lounge and the presentaf tion of the nativity scene. Discussion of French Christmas traditions highlights the agenda.

It means working together in Centennial skits, Judgement Day at Elmira College, Elmira in Mother Cooseland-it means singing together for Merry Chanters, in the diningroom,-anytime, anywhere. We have played together, too, taking top honors in hockey, basketball, and softball. We'll never forget the years spent in Cowles, Alumnae, and finally Tompf kinsg our patron saints, the Dannenfeldtsg or Joan, Elly and Flossie, our presidents. Other memories which we shall hold dear are the "Snow Ball," Mock May Day with the apes and Indians, "Cleopatra", and "The Night Before Christ' mas" with the chorus. This year we had to grow up, take on the responsif bilities of little sisters, Iris and Centennial. We have still had time, however, to produce an hysterical ver' sion of "The Three Bears," whip up "52 Barnyard" and display our dramatic talent in the Junior Play, "The Young and Fair." So, you see, the purple hue means this and more to come, and next year, when '52 is an actuality, and we have to leave, in our hearts "we will always be true to the purple hue." 65 1.' ffm JUNE ROBERTA ABER WELLSBURG, New YORK "I haven't started studying for that test tomorrow -Who wants to go to the movies?"

As a waitress she is idealg as a friend, she is perfect. 66 mirthful of the class of '52, UD!-'sl 4' in MARY ISABEL BALL - SPRING VALLEY, NEW Yom: Mary, the girl with the long blond hair and the ready smile, leads a double life. She is a typical "jeaned" student in the morning, but a highly efficient secretary in her afternoon hours. Telephone! Nine times out of ten it's for Mary. Greatly interested in SF, she has worked hard for it, also. Aurbf'-5 ANA lpkflrv Lu f1,L'f+f4D 1 ll 1 l s . J .it EDITH BECKER SPRING VALLEY, NEW YORK "Strongly in deed, gently in manner."

She's a gal who thinks soundly and is usually able to help with that special problem. 67 BARBARA BELMER BRONXVILLE, New YORK "Good words are worth much." Bobbie's a reliable member of '52's barbershop JOAN T. BEERS CHEMUNG, NEW YORK This slender, agile girl with the "peaches and cream" complexion plans to teach English. Of course all is not study with Joanie, for she has her fancies too -like rushing to Lovell's for that big soda or lying by Passion Puddle, watching the tadpoles. Joan's the modern Pollyanna who gets a kick out of everything in life. quartet. Her French major, along with typing and shorthand, fills a busy day but she still finds time for bridge games and occasionally even finds her Way to the gym. She is our friend and we are proud of it. 68 45 MARION WILBER BENTLEY MORAVIA, New Yom: She's the starryfeyed newlyfwed who can't help being conscious of her third finger left hand. "What does that sign say? I can't read that far." She's either breaking or losing those famous green glasses. It's a good excuse for not doing any homework though, especially when she'd rather just "talk". BRIGID BISGOOD glues!! 4 ELMIRA, New Yom: "The play's the thing" and so is Biz. "But I'm not well" is a favorite line in Biz's collegiate script, but just let her hear of a party Canyoneffj and you will Witness the recovery of the age! Endowed with a well-poised manner, she possesses a valuable theatrical sureness, and many friends. !x i I '69 aka... MARJORY P. BLACKETT NEWTONVILLE, MASSACHUSETTS MARILYN BLOCK S11cAUcus, NEW JERSEY "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine." Tiny Marilyn Block has more energy than any other halffdozen '52ers put together. She is just as prompt to do her homework as to head somewhere for an evening of fun. Perhaps her greatest talent is her ability to make people enjoy her company, and miss her when she is not around. 70 "She is pretty to walk with, and witty to talk with." Gay, cheerful Marjory Parsons from Beacon Hill. Collector of party hats and class comedienne, she hides a practical and understanding strain beneath a frivolf ous, but thoughtful exterior. I 1 l DOROTHY BRADEN NIAGARA FALLS, New YORK "Hail to thee blithe spirit . . ."

Rosemary, the fabulous Falls, and her experience as cupid, are all a part of Dot's wonderful personality and popularity. , J . ,tw ELIZABETH J. BURRGW CENTRAL VALLEY, Nnw YORK Betty cheerfully goes through each day with a shy "hello" and a Warm smile for everyone.

Interested in many fields, she has decided that she' prefers sociology. A familiar sight is Marg H. VIRGINIA BUTLER 5?VL0WfV CROTON FALLS, NEW YORK If Ginger isn't sauntering off to classes, she's dashing madly to the hockey field, the basketball court, or the baseball diamond, depending, of course, on the season.

Her eyes sparkle, her face shines and her slim figure is much envied. Mary "parlez vous" with the best of them, but as yet isn't certain about what she'll do after graduation. M tk SYLVIA ARMISTEAD CASH BUFFALO, NEW YORK An avid student, Sylvia came to us this year from Virginia Interrnont College, where she was an out' standing thespian. One of her rnain joys in life is riding, and her many ribbons are proof of her fine horseman' ship. Another joy of life, however, is eating, and 10 A. M. finds her feasting on a Baby Ruth and a Coke-her midfmorning snack. 73 H X, 'PPP 1' BEVERLY CHENEY BATH, NEW YORK Music is Bev's fortress. Singing, playing the piano, or even just listening, she is completely at home. Alf though she is busy with concerts, here and away, we have gotten to know her and admire her talent and abundance of good will. In swimming, and badminton she also excels. 74 ANN CARR CHAPMAN ELMIRA, New Yom: "'. . . With lots of zip, pep, and energy." Have you heard an infectious giggle coming from third floor Tompkins? Most likely it is Ann! Here is a very vivacious member of '52 who is possessed with endless energy. There is always fun when she is around! M513 ,iii EE, Jo ANN c1PoLLA ELMIRA, Nzw Yom: A red buick stops at the curb and out jumps Jo Ann from behind a pile of books. Although our editor spends much of her time at the chem lab, she does have time for other activities. We will always remember her monkey suit at the juniorffireshman picnic. Cn top scholastically, she is still willing to be a fourth for bridge. 1 G Aw ? V I EF SHIRLEY B. COLE CUBA, NEW YORK "Isn't that cageyln exclaims Shirl as fumes, sparks, and other evidence of a violent reaction are emitted from her test tube. A future chemist, she spends a large part of her time in tattered jeans in the lab, but when there is a party, Shirl is there having the most fun. She enlivens any day! 75 ELLEN FERGUSON DAVIS KINGSTON, PENNSYLVANIA In Ellen we have discovered the essence of the Elmira spirit. Some intangible quality of hers-her gracious manner, her sincerity and understanding of people, won her a rightful place in "Who's Who". She helped guide '54 into the pattern of life here, and in our sophomore year, kept us on our toes. 76 SUE ELLEN DAVIDSON W1-urn PLAINS, Nizw YORK "Sl1e's merry, Sl'l8lS jolly, we like her, by golly!" Always pounding away at her typewriter for Sybil or Octagon, Susie likes everything! Crazy party hats, clowning, little girl expressions, all hide the serious side that characterizes our Bright Eyed Susin. MARILYN KATHLEEN DAWLEY T ELMHQA, New YORK Very shortly we sliall see Milqe's smiling face on our TV. "Mike", with her ready laughter and unequaled sense of humor is the life of any party. She combines a flair for radio and dramatics with unusual ability, as she demonstrated when she managed the junior Play. MARGARET IVI, DE GRQFF Versatile and competent, she's a sure success. AMSTERDAM, NEW YORK "Because of you we will be glad and gay." "DhactWu", the code of greeting-Maggie is near, cheering and enlivening everyone about her. If not in the dorm, you can always find her peering into a micro' ' scope or directing traffic in the library. Wasting no words on trivialities, she adds a bit of spice to the , chatter of her many friends. 77 ' r 1 X-iss, . 1 ! ff f mf A , tiene.

Catch her in a rare moment at night and you'1l see neat braids trans' formed into the longest hair in college. When Sophia returns to Greece, we hope she will always remember the friends she made over here. 78 DIANE DEWHURST Rmcnwoon, NEW JERSEY A personality no less stunning than her platinum hair typifies "Dewey". Nimble of foot and wit, her energetic nature finds gay expression in dancing, parties, cheer leading, fire fighting, and bold class spirit. Never at a loss for Words, she is the epitome of exuberance. l ANN DWORSCHAK PBLHAM MANOR, New Yonxc Ann's the girl who is always on the dean's list.

What name could be more perfect for our girl with the laughing heart than "Joy" and what nickname more suitable than "joychild". Known for her shorter' thanffeathers hair, her shouting, worldfshaking laugh, and her monotone, joy is always fun. That she is popular with everyone is very evident.

Xe-X POLLY HARM ELMIRA, New Yoiuc Polly? Why she's that tall, attractive girl who's repeatedly making dean's list.

Poise and intelligence mixed with genuine sincerity make .Ian the fine person she is. 84 JOYCE HOFFMAN ELMIRA, New YORK Joyce is our make up girl, although her own prettif ness is very natural.

But though science may take the lead, Mary has many other interests. We all recall the class skit she wrote and the conservation essay prize she won. Then, too, there is her love for music and dance. She's the type we all admire, for her heart is in her work. E.f'Y BEATRICE HUDSON ELMIRA, NEW Yorut We know better than to try to get the best of Bea in the game of wits, for she is much too quick for us. She's held more offices than we can count.

The walls of her room are covered with letters, indicating her athletic achieve ments, another part of her versatility. "I Remember Mama". Besides this, she has tact and business ability, as she demonstrated in her managing of the S.F. Bazaar. A career in sociology is suited to one so capable. 88 O C ".I!!..'I'.EQ BARBARA KAUFFMAN Yoiuc, PENNSYLVANIA "Soft she speaks, but all men stop to hear." Tall, dark beauty describes Bobbie. Her quiet humor and good sportsmanship make her an addition to any group. She is one of the youngest, yet, in a way, one of the oldest of the '52ers, and one of the few to ever have been swimming in the puddle at midnight! KATHARINE KELLOGG SULLIVANVILLB, NEW Yoruc There are days when Kay will gladly take a demerit just because she feels like being noisy, and there are days when she glides serenely around being quietly happy. An especially graceful dancer. her leading May Day performance will always be remembered. "Farmer" Kay, who lives "way back that" in Sullivanville, cap' tivates all who know her. l i .89 BARBARA JANE MAC NEIL NEWTON, MASSACHUSETTS "All the world, her playground." Wellfchosen clothes and a characteristic giggleflaugh add to Bobbie's allure and popularity. She thrives on arguments and we remember the numerous deep dis' cussions she has led, and her many extended college weekends. 90 MARY V. KILCOYNE ELMIRA, New YORK Always on the go from classes to work and from work to extra classes, Mary still finds time for study and fun. An enthusiastic sports fan and an outstandf ing actress, plans are forever forming beneath her red crown which often lead her to play a joke on a friend or do something very thoughtful. To Mary, an idle hour is time wasted. -A 4-f", l Hr is VALENCIA JOHN MAMALIS HIGHLAND FALLS, New YORK Coal black hair, sparkling eyes, and a ready smile- that is Val. A real baseball enthusiast, she is a demon behind a bat, yet, on the other hand, she is at her best when ready for a prom. Always willing to lend a hand with a picnic, or to help a friend! "Greek pastry, any' one?" that, too, is Val. Hi wp 'qi NANCY MARKS ELMIRA, NEW YORK " 'Tis good nature that wins the heart of all." Do you like good homemade vegetable soup in a friendly atmosphere?

FAY THERESA MCINERNEY ELMIRA, NEW YORK "Pink, small, and punctual." Transportation is no problem for Fay. Her green convertible takes her everywhere. In the spring, one afternoon a week is usually reserved for golf. An Although Eileen did not join us until sophomore year, she so readily became a part of '52, that we think of her as a charter member. She is wellfknown as a comic, but her serious side is seen every so often. Z, i,.. .I ,P economics major and a serious bridge player, her free moments are spent knitting. Petite Fay is friendly and pleasant-quiet, but not unnoticed. 92 ' NANCY JEAN MCIVER UNION, New JERSEY Another personification of the spirit of '52 is this vivacious Scotch lass.

It has been fun to know little "Ma." S 'F' ir K' ,ws -at l ELEANOR LOUISE NYHART BUFFALO, New Yom: "So soft, so calm, so eloquent The smiles that win, the tints that glow."

Fantan is a favorite pastime and you'll find Elly always equipped with pennies "just in case." 93 . S JEAN LOUISE PARKER BERLIN, New HAMPsHmE "We're New Hampshire born, we"re New Hampshire bred-" "Park" is the girl who always calls a spade a spade, probably the result of her staunch New Hampshire upbringing. A fine student who finds time for many extrafcurricular activities, she'll have no trouble set- ting the world on iire after graduation. 94 CARMELLA PALLADINO ELMIRA, New YORK "Tootsies" headquarters are Carnegie where she determines the fate of fruitflies, and the town lounge, where she can frequently be found struggling through a hand of bridge. Bowling is her favorite athletic endeavor, and soft blues, the favorite color of this charrner. i. rs.. A of RUTH PECK ELMIRA, Naw Yom: "As good as she is fair."

Endowed with pretty red hair and a cute giggle, Jan brings cheer to all. 95 ALICE PUGH SYRAcusE, NEW YORK "A silent tongue and a true heart are the most ad' mirable things on earth." Alice came into our class in her sophomore year. Since then her room has become a center for heart to heart talks. We stop her to ask the inevitable question "Alice, please, when is your birthday?" She just laughs in her nice way, and the mystery remains un- solved. 96 CORNELIA ALICE PRINGLE UTICA, N EW Yom: "Bright blue eyes, so wide and gay Announce 'Nell Schpfringle' and her delightful way."
