Front Row: Balmas, Falk, LeBlanc, Gay. Back Row: Coach McMahon, Mucher, Warnock, Sharp, McMaster, Coach Thompson. WRESTLING The pride of Alfred this year was the mighty State Tech wrest- ling team. Undefeated during their first year of intercollegiate competition, the grapplers rolled over all opposition with ease. They beat such teams as R.I.T., St. Bonaventure, Oswego State, Erie Tech, Orange County and Farmingdale. Standout of the team was J ohn Le Blanc who won all seven of his matches by pins. Other unde- feated wrestlers were Walt Gay, Bob Falk, Ralph Mucher, and Carl McMasters. Rounding out the eight man squad were Pete Warnock, Dave Sharp, and Bar- ney Balmas. Much of the credit must go to Coach Charles Mc- Mahon, a former star wrestler with Alfred University. GHEERLEADING Cheering the basketball team on to victory were the peppy, hard-working cheerleaders of Al- fred State Tech. Under the guid- ance of Mrs. Schogoleff, the cheer- leading squad consisted of Alice Clements, Rhoda Young, Shirley Long, Kay Baldwin, and Lyn Johnson. Alice Clements, Rhoda Young, Shirley Long, Lynn John- son, Kay Baldwin. 93

ALMA At the start of the 1953-54 school year, Alfred State Tech was a college without an Alma Mater. The Student Council ap- pointed a committee to rectify this situ- ation. This committee sponsored a contest for an Alma Mater. Late in January, the winner was announced. He was Richard Fote of Olean, New York. 3 li- N-r MATER pa, thc Chorus, and the All-Campus band, composed both the words and music of this beautiful Alma Mater. His work re- ceived high praise from Mr. Anthony Cappadonia, head of the music depart- ment at Alfred. The student body has good reason to be proud of Dick Fote and their new Alma Dick, a member of Kappa Sigma Kap- Dick Fote Mater. 5' .1 f Ll' im: s -1.1.1 ,ig rff ....'l VE law To 71156, 061 A71 fA'ED 11414 7775 79.61.06 OF 750175 60115 GY kf E 4,1 :Lal-l'L' :Lon-inf ol offaze rife our :awry rle Fill? wffcff :wa fm- aff- 14 e-Qtr J lj fl 4 'ia'-is-' l ffl' 'I l i Taulw :WE BL ue Imp MAE GOLD'-5.8 ,CHAAY IS F06 V00 IFE rl esOo so Q All!! .,,, ,, 'fH'1ifif ef'--i.L.f.1.1lf1f tw' l 6154154 Aw- rlise f75M-a.e- 155 You. -Desas we Jima. 196 - CAWM V5- if-'E-'fdlF.1-'7'lf'r -f-f 1 .ff I 1oI'E You 05.4.8 AAN!
