The- social season opened on September 15th with a Get-Acquainted Party in honor of the freshmen. This served as an introduction to college life and was the beginning of many new friendships. October 10th marked the organization of the new Junior Varsity Cheerleading Squad. In previous years, the Varsity Cheerleading Squad reigned supreme, but the Junior Hornets’ progress demonstrated that they too were worthy of a cheerleading squad. October also included a Halloween Party on the 27th, and student participation in the county-wide Diabetic Drive. All the laboratory examinations for this event were con- ducted at State Tech. November breezed in with the organization of the Wrestling team and a dance, the annual Turkey Trot, held in the gym preceding the Thanksgiving festivities. December proved true to the spirit of giving. The Social Committee gave a Christmas Dance, the col- lege gave a Christmas vacation to the students, and several of the students gave some of their treasured blood to the Broome County Blood Bank which came to the college and set up their equipment in one of the classrooms. Dad’s Day, a newly added annual affair, was held on January 14th. The entertainment included several selections by the Dance Band and Glee Club, a tour of the college, a buffet supper, a wrestling exhibit, a basketball game, anda dance. January saw the defeat of Triple Cities College by the Hornets at the annual Polio Benefit basketball game which gave the Hornets the first round on a trophy donated by IBM. The popular Queen of Heart’s Ball, the scene of the crowning of a new Queen, Miss Rita Duffy, was held on February 10th. After the awarding of flowers to the five contestants, the Queen Bee and her attendants led the Grand March. Dominated by basketball honors, March marked the debut of State Tech into the field of television with the appearance of Coach Baldwin and four Hornets on a sport’s program to demonstrate some of State Tech’s powerful strategy. This month, for the first time in three years, the Hornets broke an old jinx and defeated Triple Cities College with a record of three wins and one loss. On March 9th, 10th, and 11th, State Tech was host for the annual NYS Institute Basketball Tourney. Mother’s Day was celebrated at State Tech on May 13th with a planned program of a baseball game, a buffet supper, entertainment, and a dance. This affair was well attended and a tribute to the mothers who could not get anything done because of their offspring’s ‘‘homework’’. The ’50 Hornets have buzzed through a busy social season and now buzz away with a fond ‘‘Farewell’’ 28
