Gene S. Welborn DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS The Colonials went forth to do battle in six varsity arenas this year. They carried the Green and White onto the hardwood, across the hill- ocks, out on the diamond, down the cinder straightaway, onto the base- lined asphalt and over the fairways. The Wfelborn warriors hear their signal for attack in the drawl of the Hoosier state-the coach is a native Indianian. He got his M.S. in education at that state's Univer- sity after a sojourn among the Illini for the laavrulazrrwfzfs and a three year tour of Navy duty as a chief pharmacist's mate. He came here in 1947. Beniomin Hopkins Moses REGISTRAR AND DIRECTOR OF ADMISSIONS Now marking his tenth year as a higher educator in the Triple Cities, Mr. Moses might be called advance guardian for the college. He ar- rived in Endicott in 1941 to direct the Syracuse Extension School, has been here since. A Scrantonian, he took his A.B. at Syracuse in 1934, stayed on at 'Piety Hill as assist- ant dean of men and received his M.A. there in 1939. As for his duties-- well, college means lots of things, but more than anything else it means studies, courses, curricu- lum. Getting the student in, keep- ing him in and getting him out on schedule is Mr. Moses' job-when the chips are down, he's your man. and Spam Herbert L. Leet LIBRARIAN Last fall a convoy of trucks rumbled northward, carrying back to Syracuse all the books from our library. Herbert Leet surveyed the empty stacks, drew a quick mental picture of the lot of us slowly dis- appearing in the abyss of illiteracy, and went to work. The library now has nearly 20,000 volumes. This gentleman who has staved off the extinction of intelligence in our milieu came to us in 1947 with an A.B. and B.1..S. from Syracuse after service in the libraries of a number of public schools in the state. He now operates from higher-ceilinged headquarters in Harpur,s newest campus acquisition-the ex-public library. 15 Somuel P. Douglass BUSINESS MANAGER Those of you who do not pay tuition, attend Harpur's brightest social functions, have a taste for the sharpest in 1vy League togs, or know anything of life at our college may not be familiar with the keeper of the college treasury, Sam Doug- lass. Otherwise, you know him as the young man who runs our phy- sical plant and complex monetary machinery. He took over last sum- mer after a yearis good service teaching finance to Harpuris future captains of industry. He got his B.S. and M.B.A. from Syracuse- navigated a B-17 during the war . . . admits to having been a second lieutenant.

Jock F. Kimball DIRECTOR OF THE EVENING DIVISION A chance for new growth - as workers, as citizens, as people en- joying life-is being given to the men and women of the Triple Cities by the college's evening program offered in Endicott and at State Tech. And the program itself is growing, under the hand of its ami- able chief, Jack Kimball. Back with us again after a year at Columbia winding up his study for a doctor- ate, Mr. Kimball is known to old- timers as the soft-spoken Missourian who was our first director of Stu- dent Personnel. Four years a Navy lieutenant, he had served as assistant to the dean at his alma mater, the University of Kansas City, before coming here in 1946. Elizobefh S. Plclnkinfon DIRECTOR OF STUDENT PERSONNEL If this auburn haired young lady never steered you into the right line of work, or found you a job, or a place to live-if she never smoothed out any scholastic or fi- nancial rough spots for you-then you just never went to Harpur. Miss Plankinton came here in 1946 as Women's Counselor, and became Director of Student Personnel in 1948. Before that she had been a co-ed at the University of Oregon, and a SPAR ensign in Washington. She received her master,s degree in personnel from Syracuse - hails from Oregon-sparks our campus activities and social life with their fabled informality. pdlddltftdz and M. ., John W. Addley couNsELoR OF STUDENTS These days the college boy no longer refers to a calendar in making his future plans, he uses a watch with a sweep-second hand. Seldom be- fore have students had such an urgent need for good advice, sound information, and someone-to-root- for-the-home-team. This is where john Addley comes in. Walk into his ofHce, make yourself comforta- ble under one of those gorgeous oil paintings, and give him the story. You soon find out what can be done. If you asked, you'd get this data: native Hudson, New Yorkg Air Corps tower operator, World War Hg B.S. and M.S., Syracuse, second year here. The paintings are Mrs. Addley's. 14 Michael N. Scelsi DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC RELATIONS When Harpur hits the headlines- this is the man behind it. The af- fable Mr. Scelsi returned to his native Endicott in 1949 to see to it that the world hears from us in print and on the air waves. Before that, he more or less made the grand tour, global style--getting his A.B. at Louisiana State Univer- sity . . . spending four years in the Pacific as a Marine Captain . . . working three years as a UN of- ficial in virtually every country in Europe. He cut his journalistic teeth on the LSU Pcl Mall, and it now devolves upon him to guide the assorted sooth sayers, oracles and bactotums who made up the staff of the Colonial News.
