PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK INSTITUTE OF APPLIED ARTS AND SCIENCES BINGHAMTON, NEW YORK 2 PIONEERING FORTY-NINERS Exactly one century ago, as many as 70,000 prospectors traveled across the wilderness in long swaying wagon trains; sailed to Central America and then overland; or sailed around the stormy Cape Horn in proud clippers to the West Coast in search of gushing riches. Although comparatively few actually found large shares of gold, those pioneers, with a “let’s-do-it” spirit, accomplished a far greater goal when they opened a vast new frontier. The pioneering spirit still profoundly shapes American beliefs and attitudes. Americans warmheartedly applaud the man who breaks new ground or attains new heights, regardless of his origin. Only here in America, a land of challenges, can people make such progress, pro¬ vided of course, they display ability, courage, character, imagination and perseverance. Our country is one of constantly expanding prosperity and tech¬ nological advances. As a result, opportunities today are far greater than they were one hundred years ago. Today there are more challeng¬ ing careers for ambitious capable men and women than can be met. There is, for example, an ever increasing demand for personnel with a technical background to assume responsible positions on the sub¬ professional level. To help meet this demand, there have been estab¬ lished in New York State five new institutes to provide intensive train¬ ing in the technolgies and applied arts. On April 1, 1949, these units, by an act of the Legislature, became a part of the State University of New York. On September 23, 1949, one hundred and forty bold young men and women, willing to pioneer new fields of service, will leave the portals of the Institute at Binghamton. Upon these and other young pioneers, the continued growth and prosperity of America depends. 3 DEDICATION MR. C.C. TYRRELL Director In April, 1946, the New York Legislature passed a bill providing for an Institute of Applied Arts and Sciences to be founded in Bingham¬ ton. The problem of securing the right person, qualified to direct its material, as well as its academic development, was the first task in forming this institute. After four months of search, Mr. Cecil C. Tyr¬ rell was selected as Director of the Institute. Mr. Tyrrell received his Bachelors and Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University. He instructed for three years at the University of Maine and for five years at Pratt Institute, and later was Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Rutgers University. He was also affiliated with the General Electric Company and with the Anthracite Institute as Senior Research Engineer. With this broad educational and industrial background, Mr. Tyrrell was well equipped to mold the skeleton of this Institute into a post-high school agent to provide its students with a highly technical, yet, well rounded education. To this leader and pioneer, we, the first graduating class of The State University of New York, Institute of Applied Arts and Sciences at Binghamton, are proud to dedicate this first volume of “The Citadel”. 4 FROM OUR DIRECTOR In these days when we have reached the end of our geographical pioneering, it is in the American tradition that another group of “Forty-niners” should be engaged in a venture which is opening the frontiers of opportunity for the youth of our State and Country. In our democracy it is a fundamental concept that each of us has the right to develop as an individual to the limit of his capabilities and ambition. In a complicated society such as ours, the need for education as preparation for citizenship and a vocation has become increasingly apparent. That the conventional pat¬ tern of the four-year college or professional school was not the entire answer, either as to the type of curriculums offered, or to the economic ability of our youth, has been apparent to many for some time. Just as we in America seek by scientific analysis and experimentation a new source of power ora new automobile transmission, we are seeking in this pioneering experiment a new method of pushing back the ‘T)arriers” to the de¬ velopment of that greatest of our natural resources, our youth. In these first two years we have had the pleasure of going ahead together -- the staff and you, our first class. As in all new ventures, the way has not always been a smooth one. We have often had to improvise, to invent, to initiate a new method. We have had to build equipment, to organize, to work out our rules and regulations together. As we near the end of this first class’ time in the Institute, it is pleasant for me and for the other members of the staff to look back and consider what fine cooperation we have had from you who have been a willing group of frontier men and women. You too, I am sure, must look back with satisfaction and with a feeling of personal gain. In this endeavor, as in all of life, your gain is in proportion to your contribution. You of the class of ’49 have contributed greatly in this pioneering venture. You have blazed a trail that will be helpful to those who follow. 5 From Mr. Titchener MR. P.F, TITCHENER Chairman of the Board of Trustees June 2, 1949 Our Board of Trustees is watching the close of our second year in the Institute with great pride. We have looked forward to the graduation of this first class. Much has transpired since the appointment of our Board in July 1946. Much activity has taken place since the opening of the Institute to students in October 1947. It has taken a great deal of work, a lot of patience to recondition our building, secure and install equipment and to process applications from prospective students. This has been real “Pioneering”. Everything considered, we are happy about the calibre of students served and their eager participation in their studies and in our general activities. We are proud of the choice of our Director and our faculty, who have developed a fine spirit in our student body and who have provided such intelligent leadership. We congratulate the first graduating class of State Tech. 6 DR. L.L. JARVIE Executive Dean of the State University of New York Dr. Lawrence Jarvie has played a major role in the construction of the state program of two-year college-level technical education. Dr. Jarvie came to the New York State Education Department as and expert on this type of technical education. He was formerly affili¬ ated with George Washington University, the University of Chicago, and served as chairman of Institutional Research at the Rochester Institute of Technology. During the recent war, he was in charge of the Armed Forces Institute in Britain. With this background, he was well qualified to help develop the Institutes of Applied Arts and Sciences and the older state agricultural and technical schools into one primary group of state post-high schools. 7 BOARD OF TRUSTEES Left to right: Mr. Bernard H.

JOHN KUSHNER Department Head Left to right: Michael Orinik, Axford L. Beagle, Jr., Darrell H. Badore, O.P. Zicari. There is a small but highly important group of students who make up our chemical department. On the whole, they are a fairly quiet group, and many pass unnoticed. But, this small group is studying a course that holds some of the best opportunities for jobs and advance¬ ment in industry. In this course, students are given a thorough background in college general chemistry, which includes inorganic qualitative analysis, in¬ organic quanititative analysis, and organic chemistry. Some of their subjects include the study of metals and alloys, the strength of materials, physics, mathematics, and general chemical engineering courses such as unit operations. Considerable attention is also devoted to human relations and the reporting of technical results. These are integral parts of chemical engineering practice. The future chemical technician must be able to get along well with others and to express himself clearly orally and in writing. As a result, much emphasis is placed on industrial manage¬ ment, English composition, public speaking, and technical report writ¬ ing during the entire two years. Approximately thirty of the chemical students have become student associate members of the Binghamton section of the American Chemical Society. As members, they can attend a series of lectures which are given before the local section of the society by famous scientists in a variety of chemical fields. After graduation, the first class of chemical students will go out to their respective jobs or further their studies by taking advance chemis¬ try courses in some other educational institution. Wherever they go, they will establish a foothold for future chemical students, just as the pioneer established a foothold in the wilderness for the settlers that followed. 32 CLASS OF 50 First row, left to right: James Flannery, Betty Downey, Patricia Mayhood, Franc Bixby, Dolores Whitaker, Louise Aton, Nathan Heifetz.

This September, the first Electrical Technology graduates will step out into industry and start making their way. In every respect, it will be a test--a test as to whether the conditions that exist in electrical industries will be enhanced by the addition of technically trained in¬ dividuals. With this in mind, the Electrical Department has made an effort to provide the student with as wide a background as possible. The curriculum included industrial electronics, electrical machinery, control equipment, closely correlated with shop and laboratory work. The “whys” were answered in theory classes, and the “hows” in the “on-the-job” co-op work. In June, the senior Electrical students, accompanied by Messrs. Wright and Latham, went on a field trip to the G.E. Schenectady Works. The students were able to see, at first hand, actual production methods and techniques. The size of some of the large turbines and generators rather overwhelmed most of the students. Certainly, many obstacles lie in the path of the graduate Electrical Technician. All he asks, however is a chance to prove himself a useful and valuable asset to those with whom he may become associated. 36 CLASS OF ’50 First row, left to right: Louis Ducote, Stanley Clinton, Pat Dozier, Ken¬ neth LaBarre.

MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY COURSE We, the students of the Mechanical Technology Course, feel that we have come a long way in the two years just past. In the fall of 1947, we started out at the Institute by supplementing our book work with the uncrating of shop and laboratory equipment. We unpacked, cleaned and installed a large share of the machinery now in operation in the machine shop and mechanical laboratories. In addition to that, we built some of the equipment in use today. The tool crib, the welding booths, the Jominy Bar apparatus and the Fluid Flow Tank are a few examples of the work done by the Mechanical Technology Students. Since April of 1948, we have been represented in our cooperative employment periods at I.B.M., E.J., Ansco, Ozalid, Kroehler, E.H. Titchener and several other local industries and a few out-of-town industries. While at work, we performed such jobs as drafting, machine set-up and operation, production supervision, maintenance work. In the closing term of our Senior Year, we each worked on a project of our own choosing. These projects ranged from factory design and plant layout to the design and construction of laboratory equipment for use at the Institute. Some of these projects can be seen today in the Mechanical Laboratories or in the Design Rooms. At the end of our final term we took field trips to up-state New York to take tours through various manufacturing plants to study plant layout, production methods, manufacturing processes and other phases of the work we have just completed, enabling us to see practical applications of the courses studied. We all feel that we have accomplished much, both as individuals and as a group, during our stay at the Institute and at the same time we have enjoyed every day of it. 40 CLASS OF 50 First row, left to right: William Winters, Robert Wyatt, Donald Reeve, Robert Clair, Joseph Fleming, Carl Clark, Roy Whiting.

MEDICAL OFFICE ASSISTANT COURSE TECHNICAL OFFICE ASSISTANT When the Institute first began as a Junior College, two years ago to be exact, it had among its various curricula, a department known as the Medical Office Assistants—M.O.’s. The purpose of this course was to satisfy the ever- increasing demands of hospitals, physicians and industries, for trained medical office personnel. The M.O.’s of ’49 were the Pioneers of this department—for they were the first group of girls who were able to do this sort of work in this section of the state. During their cooperative work period of last year, some of the girls worked for experience alone, since the main thought in their heads was to gain addi¬ tional knowledge, not a salary. “Jack-of-all-trades” would be a good synonym for an M.O. because her studies are wide and varied. From the medical point of view, she is valuable because of her knowledge of chemistry, anatomy, material medica, lab¬ oratory practice, pediatrics, physics, medical terminology and office techniques. On the secretarial and receptionist side, she is taught typing and shorthand, bookkeeping, purchasing and accounting, and psychology. Once a Medical Office Assistant has accum¬ ulated the above knowledge, her duties in a doctors’ office may range from handling a doctor’s financial records, writing abstracts from medical journals to performing laboratory tests, receiving patients and sterilizing instru¬ ments. The M.O.’s of ’49 are proud of their profes¬ sion and the assistance they can be in the Med¬ ical Profession, for they are sure they will make an important mark in the semi-profes¬ sional world. Services of office employees with special training are required by engineers, architects, public works, and some industrial concerns. In addition to receiving business and steno¬ graphic training, the technical office assistant receives technical training. This special train¬ ing prepares the technical office assistant to perform additional duties such as writing of specifications, setting up instructions for the use of drawings and blueprints, cataloging and filing of technical books and publications, sum¬ marizing technical reports, and interpreting employer’s orders. Technical office assistant occupations are open to both men and women. A course of this type provides opportunities for a number of jobs: file clerk, time keeper, re¬ ceptionist, stenographer, engineering library assistant, stock clerk, foreman’s assistant, technical secretary, specification writer, office machines supervisor, engineer’s secretary, executive’s secretary, technical librarian, lab¬ oratory technician, information specialist. The technical office assistant curriculum offers special courses to familiarize the stu¬ dent with shop and laboratory equipment, pro¬ cedures and terminology, and general courses in office practice, typewriting, shorthand, and bookkeeping. A few general courses give the final touch to the training of a technical office assistant. Mathematics, social science, health, and English complete the entire curriculum. The technical office assistant is a compara¬ tively “new thing”, but it is slowly gaining fav¬ orable recognition. There is reason to belieVe that in the future such an employee will become a necessity for some institutions. 44 CLASS OF ’50 MEDICAL OFFICE ASSISTANTS First row, left to right: Beverly VanWoert, Pauline Grace, Caryl Davidson, Iris Hellewell, Elizabeth Chase, Marilyn Bostwick, Mabel Dubben.

Even when State Tech was but an idea in the minds of its creators, the philosophy of “earning a living and living a life” was more or less the motto by which the curriculum was set up. Learning to earn a liv¬ ing is taken care of by the technical courses offered by the Institute,but this is by no means the only necessity in education. On an equal par in importance, is learning to live a life. To equip its students with this knowledge, the general education department offers courses in com¬ munication skills, health, psychology and sociology. The ultimate goal of general education is the creation of “the kind of life in which men persistently try to increase their understanding of the world in which they live, to govern their lives in accordance with high ethical standards, and to arrange their lives and their surround¬ ings with some regard to aesthetic values”. In order for the activities of an educational institution to be justified, its students must be taught to reason together in g ood will, with emotional maturity and balanced judgment. The general education department of State Tech has strived to accomplish these ends. When its first graduating class leaves, it will be prepared to assume the responsibilities of citizenship even in the increasingly complex society of today. 48 MR. CLYDE E. CHAUNCEY Dean of Men MRS. LUELLA PAULEY Dean of Women THE LffiRARY The library, under the direction of Mrs. Luella Pauley, assisted by Miss Foley, is one of the most popular rooms in State Tech. Here, students find a relaxing atmosphere in which to do research and homework or read a magazine in a few spare moments. After classes, you may find the long conference table by the front windows occupied by students working ou t a difficult problem. We owe the setting up of this smooth running library to the efforts of Mrs. Luella V. Pauley and her assistants, who two weeks before the Institute opened for classes, chased after library-owned books stored on instructors’ desks, dug books out of cellars, cleaned them, catalogued them and arranged them on the shelves. The job still goes on. New books are constantly being ordered to add to the 2000 volumes already on the shelves. To this is added the task of filing the 95 different magazines the library subscribes to. The job of setting up the library was a mam¬ moth one, but it was done and on time. As a re¬ sult, students and instructors have had access to valuable information and the library is ready and waiting for the new influx of books and students. CAFETERIA Our cafeteria is unlike any other. True it is used for eating, but there students and faculty gossip, study, sing, listen to the juke box, or just relax over a cup of coffee. Between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., there is always a bustle of activity in the cafeteria. Even at night, you will see the cooks busily preparing food for a banquet. We owe the popularity of this cafeteria not only to its pleasant and well lighted atmosphere, but also to the good food at a reasonable price and the courtesy of the dietitian and three cooks, who are willing to serve you at any time. This essential unit of the Institute is also a source of financial assistance to some students who set up counters and serve. Both students and faculty are appreciative of the services rendered by the cafeteria staff and hope that they will stick with us in the years to come. 49 HIGHLIGHTS OF INSTITUTE HISTORY This is the story of the Pioneers, the class of ’49. Yes, this is the story of a small group of students who were the first to enter “State Tech” and try to set traditions and policies to be follow¬ ed by future classes. This story begins with the passing of a bill in Albany, in April, 1946, which provided for an In¬ stitute of Applied Arts and Sciences to be founded in Binghamton. In August of that same year, Mr. Cecil C. Tyrrell was chosen as Director. Much work followed until on September 30, 1947, we found ourselves completing the final preparations for admittance. We were, as most new college students, frightened, but determined to succeed. On October 1, 1947, we timidly went to our first college class. We didn’t know then that these rooms would long remain in our memories. Soon after school started, we had a “Get Acquainted Party” which both students and faculty attended. Inasmuch as there were no students here before us, the faculty entertained. The greatest event of the year was held on the evening of October 21; the Opening Convocation of the first year for “State Tech”. Mr. Tyrrell opened the convocation with a few words and then the invocation was given by Rev. Joseph H. Smith. The “Star-Spangled Banner” was sung, followed by the address of welcome given by Mr. Paul F. Titchener. Next the charter was presented by Drs. L.L. Jarvie and L.A. Wilson. The flag was presented and then the main address, “New Frontiers in Vocational Education”, was given by Dr. Dwayne Orton, Director of Education, I.B.M. Corp. “America” was then sung and the convoca¬ tion was closed by the Director. Because of the need for a student government, a member was chosen from each section as a representative. A Constitution was drawn up, and after much debating, was ratified. By November 23, candidates for offices were elected. On February 7, 1948, in the school gymasium. the Pioneers paved the way for the beautiful “Queen of Hearts Ball”. This was the first semi- formal dance sponsored by the student government and it proved to be such a success that the students decided to make it an annual affair. Miss Veronica Biros was elected “Queen of Hearts” by students attending the dance. Tlie Pioneers, on February 10, placed the final stone on the foundation for the student publication, “Tech Talk”. Twenty-one students with Bette Whittemore as editor and Lloyd Hart¬ man as advisor are credited for this publication. The Spring and Summer terms found many students working. A picnic was he Id at the Chenan¬ go Valley State Park at which swimming proved to be the most popular event of the day, although boating drew a close second. Soon we found our¬ selves registering for the Fall term and came back to school only to find that 151 freshman students had moved in on us. Another “Get Acquainted Party” was held in October, 1948. Now, not only did we know all the senior students but as many freshman students as well. The entertainment committee planned a Thanksgiving dance to be held in the Institute gymnasium, called the “Turkey Trot”. Another dance, the annual “Queen of Hearts Ball” was held February 11. This time the dance was held in the Arlington Hotel with Miss Rhoda Fish as queen. On March 17 and 18, the first Open House was held. Approximately 800 people attended, among whom were 500 high school students. A St. Pat¬ ricks Day dance was held March 17, in the gym¬ nasium, the decorations being the traditional green and white. On April 1, the New York State Institute of Applied Arts and Sciences at Binghamton became one of the branches of the State University. 50 THE HISTORY OF ATHLETICS AT STATE TECH During the brief history of State Tech, athletics have played an important role in the lives of its students. In September, 1947, the first class of students entered the doorway of an old building which was once a State armory. These pioneers lost no tin creating a the handica merce by a 70-61 count. Before the smoke of battle had cleared away, our team was playing in the finals against a flashy team from the Central City Business Institute of Syracuse, New York. The team from Syracuse proved too much for the the Tech 68-47 score. For ex Every stu week, but c ball seaso: the latter the gym co| take shape gym classe his text bo was greatly needed.

The Black and Gold overran Genes- see Junior College by a score of 56-49, to go on into the semi-finals.

The team did not season. As it was organ- ire was difficulty in scheduling nts. The Tech team entered a fast fame through the season with two wins ames. Much experience was gained by er of the team, which proved to be in- the 1949 season. Baseball and outdoor vities continued through the summer 8 . September, the first school year at State Tech drew to a close. The re-opening of the school year in September, 1948 found many new faces. The freshmen students, through their will¬ ingness to engage in extra-curricular activities, did much to push school spirit to greater heights than it had been the previous year. The course of athletic activities followed the pattern set the previous year. The intramural basketball league was reorganized. The first-year Chemicals took the championship for 1949. The cheerleaders 52 reorganized to greater strength and better cheers in preparation for the exciting games ahead. Shortly after the fall term began, Coach Bald¬ win posted a notice for all fellows interested to turn out for varsity and junior varsity basketball. About sixty men reported, including lettermen from the previous season. Our new team was entered into the newly formed Empire State Athletic Conference League. The Tech team was to face much stiffer competition than in the 1948 season. In order to complete the regular season schedule, games were booked with other schools not in the conference. The most exciting of the non-league games, were two games against Triple Cities College. These games, against our neigh¬ bor, created a spirited rivalry. Triple Cities Col¬ lege has become one of our traditional foes on the basketball court. By the beginning of the 1948-1949 season, the Black and Gold had finally acquired the nickname “Hornets ' ’. Anyone who has seen the Black and Gold uniformed Techers streak up and down the court will not deny that there is a buzzing atmos¬ phere. At the close of the season the “Hornets” had written another chapter in the athletic history of State Tech. The “Hornets” amassed a total of twenty-two victories against only three defeats, and captured the Empire State Athletic Conference Crown with an unblemished record of twelve straight victories, with no defeats in league play. Coach Baldwin received an invitation to enter the team in the National Junior Colleges Athletic Association’s Eastern Regional Basketball Tourna¬ ment, held March 10-13 in the Sports Arena at Rochester. Teams from nine states were entered in the tournament. The “Hornets” drew a team from Altonna, Pennsylvania, for their first game-- a team which had placed tenth in the National Junior Colleges Invitational Tournament held in St. Louis, Missouri last year. The “Hornets” were eliminated in a very close game by a score of 50-48. Playing in the loser’s bracket, the “Hornets” brought home the consolation trophy by defeating Genessee Junior College 54-44, and going on to sting and defeat Syracuse Central City Business Institute--the team which had eliminated the Black and Gold in the finals of 1948. At the beginning of the 1949 spring term, the baseball team was reorganized, with several re¬ cruits from last seasonand some newcomers mak¬ ing up the team. This time the coach was able to fill in a number of weak spots and the team came through with an enviable record of 8 wins in 12 games. Under the capable coaching of Mr. Abissi and Mr. McVean, the team exhibited a great deal of spirit and teamwork, and developed precision in their plays. As a result, baseball has undoubt¬ edly become the second major varsity sport at State Tech. Because of the inadequate facilities, girls athletic activities have, up to the present, been limited to cheerleading, swimming, volleyball, badminton, and pingpong. With the coming of the spring and summer months, softball, tennis and golf broadened the field of girls activities. In the space of less than two short years, the students of Binghamton State Tech under the cap¬ able guidance and leadership of coaches Baldwin, Abissi, McVean and other faculty members, have blazed the trail of good sportsmanship, plus an outstanding record of victories for the future stu¬ dents of State Tech to uphold and surpass. 53 nor nets in £jnipire Eliminated lav T.

This “baby” was born amid much enthusiasm and spirit on the part of the staff and since that time has steadily grown to become the voice of the students. During its first year of life, however, this infant began to falter on its rather weak legs and in the month of March actually sat down. But thanks to new enthusiasm and pep, little “Tech Talk” stood right up on those now stronger legs, and in November, went on to greater achievement. A program was even worked out so that our “child prodigy” was sent to high schools and colleges throughout the Triple Cities and vicinity, which meant that more students could learn exactly what we’re doing at the Institute - both in the line of work and play. We are proud of our ‘T)aby”, for it has continued to grow stronger and better until we be¬ lieve it has become an example of the spirit of the school.

Missing was Bette Whittemore-Treasurer. Since the fall of 1947 the Student Council has seen four different admin¬ istrations. Past history would prove lengthy and inconclusive, but its cur¬ rent record and list of achievements certainly bear out the worth-whileness and activity of this organization. The group has sponsored and or¬ ganized two annual picnics, co-ordin¬ ated all social activities, attempted to settle any student-faculty difficulties. In short the Council has done almost everything incorporated in the pre- amble of the recently adopted revised constitution. Obviously mistakes have been made, but the records show not the same ones twice. It is the hope of the Council that its records, errors and achievements will be an aid to future Councils so that they may work even more effectively and efficiently through their predecessors. 66 STUDENT COUNCIL “49” First row, left to right: Mary Jayne Kirkland, Treasurer; Richard Mehlen- bacher, Vice-President; Albert Tulla, President; Maryanne Dwyer, Secretary.

One of the extra-curricular activities available to Electrical students is membership in the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, Student Section, Bing¬ hamton Area Sub-Section of the Ithaca Section. Through the efforts of Mr. L.J. Sitterlee, who is now the faculty adviser, this group was formed on November 22, 1948. At the monthly meetings, guest speakers from the electrical field have discussed a variety of inter¬ esting topics which include “Elec¬ tronics in Industry”, “History of A.I.E.E.”, “Instrument Landing De- fices”, “Power in the Triple Cities Area”, and “Electronic Testing Equipment”. A joint meeting with the Cornell student section of A.I.E.E. is being planned for the future. Many benefits, such as the privilege of attending local sub¬ section meetings and keeping a- breast with new electrical develop¬ ments, are received by this group’s 62 members. Through these meet¬ ings they also make valuable con¬ tacts with future employers and associates.

THE CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club, one of the most active organizations in State Tech, started its rough journey to achievement at the beginning of the first term, September 1948. Mr. Durst and Mr. Armstrong, our ad¬ visers, helped us plan a darkroom and expand our knowledge on the art of photography. During the small time that the Camera Club has been in existence, a lot has been achieved by the per¬ severance of the active members. Amid the delicate odor of turpen¬ tine, eager members (girls and boys alike) have painted, welded, star-drilled and performed other odd jobs until they are proud to say, their darkroom is near completion. Also, pictures for the Year Book and Tech Talk have been taken and developed by this group. The art of printing and developing a picture has been taught to the begin¬ ners. One of the more intellectual lectures, given by Joe Struck, made the members understand more clearly the art of Darkroom Pro¬ cedure. 68 S.T.T.S. The students of State Tech are particularly fortunate in having be - come associated with an organiza¬ tion singularly qualified to give advice and guidance to graduate technicians. An idea that developed in the minds of a group of students was presented to the Southern Tier Technical Society and their re¬ sponse was one of unanimous ap¬ proval. As a result, State Tech now fosters a student section of the Southern Tier Technical Society. The senior section plans to work hand in hand with the student sec¬ tion to provide informative litera¬ ture, programs and lectures, to better acquaint the student tech¬ nician with the ever increasing and complex requirements and demands of industry. This association will enable the student to make contacts with professional men in his re¬ spective field of endeavor. Such contacts will not only provide cur¬ rent technical information, but also possible assistance in prospective job placement. MUSIC Despite the intensive technical interest, music has become a pro¬ minent activity in State Tech. In the two-year history of the school, a dance band, a glee club, a music appreciation club and two quartets have been organized. The dance band under the able direction of Edward Richion has made the social life at State Tech more enjoyable to everyone. Last year the glee club under the direction of Mr. Carl Abissi presented a Christmas pro¬ gram. John Merges served as President and Mr. Kalbaugh as accompanist of the club. The music appreciation club, now known as Mu-Alpha-Sigma, was organized for the purpose of spreading interest in the music of great composers. The two quartets pictured on the next page were very active groups. Mr. Thomas Black very capably assist¬ ed the music committee in starting these organizations. Lee Durland served as chairman of the music committee.

After the establishment of a student govern¬ ment, the Radio Club, under the guidance of Mr. Thomas Black, was the first student activ¬ ity to be organized. The main function of this organization is to provide instruction in radio theory and code for those students interested in obtaining either a Commercial Radio Operator’s license or an Amateur Radio Operator’s license. A radio-room has been equipped in the tower where club members may operate the receivers and licensed operators may operate the trans¬ mitters. Construction work may also be done in the radio tower. 70 fiPPBECZfiTIOH The Citadel staff wishes to express its deepest gratitude to those whose efforts have made this publication possible: to Miss Norma Burkhardt, photo¬ graphy scheduling adviser; Mr. Lloyd Hartman, literary adviser; Mr. Aubrey Kalbaugh, business adviser; Frank A.
