Many fimes when the town was dark and slumbering, the pro- verbial midnight oil was burning in the rooms of our students as they study for a key exam. Other times during these hours a sad adieu was being bid to the end of a successful college dance and another memory was added to an already rich storehouse. At times the work part of college life has become heavy and dis- couragement reigned supreme, but always, when all was said and done, there was a kind of satisfaction, a sense of accomplishment which made it all seem worthwhile. During this period of scholastic, there was a parallel form of educa- tion available which appears in no college catalog. There was working together, and playing together, friendships and associations which will be cherished forever. Our Alma Mater gives us the key, friendships made and victories won. The experience of being part of our college society prepared us for the important job of living in a bigger and better society., Thus, another year of study and invaluable experience has passed and we are all one year nearer to the realization of our ambitions.

Cunningham DEDICATION This graduating class and the ones which have preceded it are in a unigque position as compared with the graduating classes of other schools. The college is moving on to newer and better quarters. There will be no alma mater as we knew it to come back to, no familiar ivy covered walls to help relive happy memories. Every Harpur graduate in the present as in the past is ready to admit that our present quarters, temporary though they may be are as im- portant to us as any ivy covered walls. Our halls represent memories of events and people we have known and worked with. They wrap up in one symbol the total experience of our four years of college life. In light of what it has meant to us, this yearbook is dedicated to the campus we have known with the hope that the memories it has given us will in some measure be kept alive by the1956 Colonist and to the Har- pur Spirit which will remain alive regardless of its new physical surround- ings.

There is a need for an entire field of activities to develop the student's diversified talents and outside interests. Harpur College has well recognized this fact. It has provided through co-operation between students and administration a wide array of extracurricular activities. Harpur students play together through their social clubs; they work together on their publications and Student Government; they develop their interests together through such clubs as debate, religious organizations etc. The student upon entering Harpur is thus presented with the oppor- funity to either continue the pursuit of his natural talents in ways not available in the academic curriculum or to develop new interests. There exists in the college a concentration of interest fields which are often far more dispersed in the community as a whole. It is through this dual system of education and extracurricular activities that the student attains wisdom, personality and civic responsibility.

CHORUS The polyphonic sounds of a Machaut Mass or the lilting melodies of Brigadoon are equally well-performed by the Harpur College Chorus, under the able direction of Dr. Harry Lincoln. This fine organization is one of the major musical show-pieces of Harpur. With professional skill the chorus performs at concerts at the college, and they have taken several concert tours in the surrounding area. Their lyrical excellence is seldom found in a musical aggregation of comparable size. The directorship of Dr. Lincoln and the musicianship of the members of the chorus make an unbeatable feam. 23 o - e Le . e - '!'-f - e sl - First row: W. Dabrusin, D. Okerlund, J. Weiss.

Adel- phi with its Fall and Spring Mixes, Baccacia with its famous Clambake, Dionysians and their Twilight Time, Pandorans with the Carnival of Hearts, Goliards' Mardi Gras, Thalians, ITK, and SOS with their parties all serve to enliven the social calendar. The social clubs form the machinery which enables the students to have fun together. In addition, they bring opportunities for lasting friendships. The activities of these organizations in various charitable endeavors, such as Campus Chest, are well known and greatly appre- ciated. In short, the social clubs play an important part in Harpur's task of developing individuals who will be well-integrated members of so- ciety. d Y WV 34 ey 4 : - C'; Sl c o bl - fi 4 - ' W cd u 4 x:;' -':, c L s 3 . - r 1k'h A o .

Though in the past many and diversified sports activities have been offered, the new facilities will expand their scope. On the foundation that has been built in these few years, an expanded program will blossom. The coaches and organizations who have worked so well in spite of existing handicaps will be better able to achieve the heights of their ability. We look forward with assurance to a continued good job and a bright future for sports at Harpur College.

However, their cooperation with the Harpur spirit is on a full time basis. They are counted among the close personal friends of Harpur students. They have a fine record of participation in social events. at they will take away with them valuable academic From Harpur it is hoped th tangible items such as good memories of people, experience and other more in places and events.

CITY HOSPITAL NURSES l solemnly pledge myself before God . . . to pass my life in purity and to practice my profession faithfully . . . It is indeed a long, arduous road to the day when the young women of Binghamton City Hospital may finally take that famous pledge. One of the many obstacles that must be surmounted before their Capping is a stretch at Harpur. During that time they often become an intregal part of the college community. Cheerful and smiling they remain a welcome ad- dition to our dances and parties. Our story would not be complete, however, unless we said something of the fine and difficult job these young women have fackled, preparing themselves for a worthy and beneficial career. We at Harpur are proud to be a part of that training which teaches these student nurses to . . . loyally devote themselves to the welfare of those committed to their cause . . . S. STEWART GORDON Dean SEYMOUR M. PITCHER ROBERT W. RAFUSE JAMES H. WILMOTH Chairman Chairman Chairman Division of Humanities Division of Social Science Division of Science FACULTY It is with justifiable pride that Harpur points to its faculty, for in its ranks are found men of stature in every area of academic endeavor. Too often, in the course of our day-to-day studies, we tend to forget that we are being educated by men and women of outstanding qualification. The essence of a college is, undeniably, its faculty, and in this respect, Harpur College can hold its head high among schools of higher educa- tion. To Dean Gordon we extend a sincere welcome and our best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery from the illness which has forced 58 him to relinquish his duties temporarily. L. ALEXANDER D. R.

Prof. Eng. b4 SENIORS Our four years at Harpur seem but a fleeting moment in retrospect. A kaleido- scope of memories whirls through our heads, memories of people and build- ings, good times and hard study, from the bright leaves of fall, through the snow of winter, to the sunny days of spring. In looking back over our days at Harpur, we find these diverse memories converging suddenly into a sort of oneness, a feeling of nostalgia over leaving our college life behind. This is not the only feeling we experience. There is an eagerness to get to the task ahead, mixed with an awesome respect for its magnitude. And so we go forward to meet life's challenge, leaving behind the physical reality and everyday life of Harpur, but taking with us the things of greater value . . . social and intellectual sophistication.

Theirs is the spirit of tomorrow in college life. The Senior is facing new challenges in the world outside the academic community. The Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior is facing the continuing challenge of his college career. The underclassman accepts his heritage from the Senior, nurtures it, and fries his best to leave the college a better place than he found it. Equally important, he tries to leave a better person than he was when he entered. This is the responsibility of the Harpur underclassmen. On the basis of their progress thus far, the departing class may well entrust its heritage fo their able hands.

We are apt to take liberty for granted. We often forget that the privilege of reading and writing and saying and thinking and doing as we please is a God-given right one that is of inestimable value one that we should love and be always ready to guard and defend. Standing as a stalwart guardian of the rights of the people is the free press of America defender of our liberty, and enemy of tyrants and insidious forces that attempt to undermine our way of life. As long as America's newspapers print the words and thoughts of our people, just so long will America remain free. So let us more than ever cling to that heritage that is one of the cornerstones of our American Democracy a FREE PRESS, and we shall go a long way toward pre- serving those other things which we hold essential as a free people.
