Cifaoel al Published by the Senior Class State University of New York Technical Institute Binghamton EX LIBRIS STATE UNIVERSITY NEW YORK @ INSTITUTE of | sm APPLIED ARTS oc SCIENCES. E: FUREWARD Two short years ago dawned a new phase in our lives, a phase which was to promote our technical training, and simultaneously combine many memor- able experiences which will be everlasting to all of us. While the Two-Year Institute educational program is still comparatively young, it has effectively demonstrated its ability to produce men and women capable of filling respons- ible positions in this highly technical era in which we find ourselves today. : We have finished our preparations at State Tech and are now equipped to apply our training in a world that is again troubled by international conflicts. It is for us, the Graduates of 1951, not only to add to the accomplishments of our predecessors, but to help build a brighter future for tomorrow. In the following pages are recorded some of our college memories; some happy, some disappointing, some encouraging, but altogether a never-to-be- forgotten combination. Your Citadel will help you relive those days from be- ginning to end, from dawn to sunset. Jan MILES 1951 DEUICA TION LLOYD HARTMAN A friendly nature and ready wit, an understanding of the difficulties we students had to overcome when trying to express our feelings in the form of themes or speeches, and a never-ending air of dignity belong to our English instructor, Mr. Hartman. Because we, the Class of 1951, came to know Mr. Hartman through his hard work on Tech Talk and his past assistance with the Citadel, we unanimously agreed that he truly deserved the respect and affection which we felt for him. The best way of expressing our feelings seemed to be through dedicating to him the task that has meant so much tous this last year at State Tech, our Citadel. First Row: J. Spencer, M. Lounsbery, J.

The seniors honored the freshmen with the annual Get-Acquainted Dance which was held on September 14. At this dance, we met many new Students and made many lasting friend- ships. October offered two social activities--an informal dance in the cafeteria, and the Halloween Dance. The Student Council officers were elected to carry out their many duties. Last, but not least, our basketball team held the long-awaited tryouts for the 1950-51 team. November brought about many happy thoughts of our first vacation. But, before that anticipated vacation, the Thanksgiving Dinner Dance was held, which was enjoyed by everyone. The alumni reunion was held on December 2. A dinner, in their honor, was served in the cafeteria followed by a basketball game between the alumni and our own varsity team. Later in December, the cheerleaders held a Pep Dance to salute the basketball team and to raise money for the new cheerleading uniforms. The Christmas Dance was held on the 20th and the Christmas recess began on the 22nd. Though our Christmas vacation was very enjoyable, most of us were eager to return to school and see our friends. During January we watched the Hornets buzz through six suc- cessful games of basketball. The annual Queen of Hearts Ball was held on February 9. Joyce Sheehan was crowned our new queen. After the crowning and the awarding of flowers to the five attendants, our queen led the Grand March. February was a big month. Parents Day was held on the 3rd. The parents were entertained by ‘selections from the Glee Club, a tour of the school, a buffet supper, and two basketball games. March was a very eventful month for all of us, but especially for Coach Baldwin and his winning basketball team. After defeating Bayonne Junior College in the finals of the Region 15 Eastern Junior College Invitational Basketball Tournament on March 10, the State Tech Hornets were sent to Hutchinson, Kansas to compete in the National Junior College Tournament. Much money was needed to send the team so the ‘‘Kansas Kitty’’ was established. Donations poured in, not only from the students and faculty, but from local business concerns, clubs, sportsminded individuals, and our sister institution, Harpur College. By March 9th, the ‘‘Kansas Kitty’? had gone over the top. We will never forget the excitement of seeing our team off and the kind people who helped them go. One of the good tidings that we received in April was that we, the graduates of 1951, would be the first Tech students to receive degrees, Associate in Applied Science. Open House was also held in April. Many guests attended and found that our school is very cap- able of turning out good, efficient students. May was a month of cleaning up unfinished business. The girls were leaving school for their summer co-op jobs. The Senior Picnic, a huge success this year, was held on May 17 at State Park. We, the class of ’51, bid a fond farewell to our friends and to our school. We’ve hada great deal of fun during our two years here. As we leave to take our position in life we carry with us many pleasant and lasting memories.

There are, however, many outstanding events which have taken place during the past year, which will be remembered with pleasure by this graduating class. - THE GET ACQUAINTED DANCE was held early in the school year. This activity, which seems to be developing into a tradition, usually succeeds in acquainting the new Freshmen with the Seniors, introducing instructors, and pro- moting new romances. In December the Alumni stepped in. They held a banquet in the school cafeteria and then proceeded with the usual Alumni vs. Varsity basketball game. This year the ALUMNI RE- UNION definitely became a tradition, for at their meeting they elected their first officers. These officers will make possible more Alumni reunions than have been held during the past years. THE QUEEN OF HEARTS BALL is always a highlight of the year. In February it was held at the Johnson City Moose Club. The Queen, Joyce Sheehan, took the spotlight with her attendants, Jean Hastings, Phyllis Weeks, Marcell Boulous, and Shirley Groce. On PARENTS DAY, held in May, we let our parents get a glimpse of our school activity. This year at the traditional banquet the parents were entertained by the State Tech Glee Club and Band. After this program they gathered in the gym to witness the Bayonne vs. State Tech basketball game. Basketball season is always full of excite- ment for State Tech fans. This year, however, we were really fortunate, for the Hornets won the Region 15 tournament which enabled them to go to Kansas to compete in the NATIONAL TOURNEY. Pep rallies and fund-raising cam- paigns were carried on at the school in the weeks before the trip. Then, to really give the boys a good send-off, everyone gathered at the station for a final pep rally as the boys boarded the train. This event was definitely not a tradi- tion, but it was an experience which none of us wish to forget. OPEN HOUSE always finds State Tech stud- ents scurrying in every direction. In the days of preparation every student and instructor is : PARENTS DAY busy creating eye-catching exhibits and demon- strations to be presented to the prospective students. When the day arrives we find all the Seniors conducting the various demonstrations and the Freshmen acting as guides. Our annual SENIOR PICNIC was scheduled for the end of the spring term. It was held at Pine Grove in State Park. The menu consisted of hot dogs and salad. Entertainment was found in soft ball games, strolls by the lake, and, for a few warm blooded men, Swimming in the lake. The whole affair was very successful. We even had the weather on our side. The last event of the year for all Seniors is, of course, GRADUATION. As we don our caps and gowns we realize that we are no longer Six separate groups but one impressive unit. The seriousness of this tradition causes us to look back on the past two years spent roaming the | | halls of State Tech. Most of us reminisce a bit, thinking over the fun we’ve had and the friends we’ve made. Now we’re ready to leave. It was a struggle but we made it, and we now realize that it was really worth it. NATIONAL TOURNEY GRADUATION GENERAL ENUCATION DEPARTMENT STAFF RICHARD BALDWIN GEORGE A. ELLIOTT R. L, GREENWOOD LLOYD W. HARTMAN CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY CHEMICALS The Chemical class of ’51, though few in number, has the distinction of being the first all-male Chem class in the history of the school. They have followed in the footsteps of previous Chem classes, however, creating the same peculiar odors and causing a few minor explosions. Besides being recognized through their work in Chemistry they have been known for their school spirit and participation in all school activities. They contributed an editor to the Tech Talk staff and some outstanding ability for our | basketball and baseball teams. They also have a member in the school orches- tra, an outstanding tennis player, and a basketball referee. During the year they sponsored various stag parties, all of which were very successful. For the purpose of comparing our methods of teaching Chemical Technology with those of a university they took a field trip through the Chemical department : of Syracuse University. This trip proved interesting and informative for both the students and the faculty. The Chemical Technology course is a difficult one. It requires an enormous amount of study and many hours of laboratory work. These nine students have worked hard and faithfully and, as a reward, are graduating from this Institute.

This class proved to be the largest Elec- trical section ever to be graduated from State Tech. It was not long before the Electrical class demonstrated its abilities both as a group and as individuals. They became prominent in State Tech’s student gov- ernment and sports, and were represented in every one of its student activities. They participated actively in all the intramural sports, offering stiff competition. A team of Electricals captured the 1949-50 intramural volleyball championship. Recognizing the outstanding qualities of leadership possessed by many members of the Electrical class, the students elected one of the presidents and two of the vice-presidents of the Student Council from the Electrical section. The senior class president and treasurer are also Electrical students. The class is very proud of another one of its members who played center on the basketball team for two years and this year acted as its captain. All due credit must be given to the many Electrical students who were the backbone of the wrestling team and who helped to establish it as a varsity sport. With the knowledge they have obtained during the past two years, the Elec- trical Technology Class of 1951 leave to apply their arts and sciences to the in- dustrial world. Having entered to learn, they now go forth to serve, and with them go the memories of the many good times they experienced while attending State Tech. i ae — S ee eH yy ELECTRICAL FRESHMEN First Row: R.

PETRASKE 39 MECHANICAL and AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY MELHANICALS Combining scholarship with student activities, the Mechanical Technology Class have added much to the school in their two years here. With only a few minor changes in their curriculum, they have been able to attain better con- tinuity of their course. Nearly every social and athletic event held in the school for the last two years has been represented by at least one Mechanical student. Though their crowded schedule took up a good part of their time, the Mechanicals found time to enter into volleyball, basketball, baseball, and other Tech sports. A few of the students are members of the school band, and many others belong to the various social organizations. The Mechanical class of ’51 is especially outstanding in the respect that it has had no desire to out-do other courses. They have shown this in their efforts to work for the school as a whole and not for the Mechanicals alone. The last term of the school year is of special value to all the Mechanical students, for at that time they have the task of working on a project of their own choosing. Some of these projects consist of designing floor plans, laboratory equipment, or factory layouts. Once a Mechanical student has accumulated the prescribed knowledge for these two years, he is equipped to enter industry in a variety of capacities. Among the many occupations he may enter are draftsman, junior engineer, and lab technician. The Mechanicals of ’51 are proud of their course and even prouder of the place they are equipped to take in industry. MECHANICAL FRESHMEN First Row: K. Ross, P. Knox, D. Pease, H. Schreck, C.

AMSTRONG HERBERT DURST MARION A. FORBES 43 AUTUMUTIVES Twenty-one of the men in the class of 1951 compose the first Automotive Technology group to leave State Tech. Ina sense, they are pioneers, not only because of the newness of their field but also because of the hard work they have put into the setting-up and organization of their labs. They assembled the machinery that arrived and devised their own for that which didn’t arrive. In some cases they even used their own cherished cars in their classwork. Despite this whirl of activity in classes and labs, the Automotives were never left behind when it came to State Tech’s social life. They possessed a champion volleyball team and had the honor of being the first class of the year to stage a snowball fight in the lounge. Another talent possessed by this class came out in the form of their class song, ‘‘Yea, Automotives.’’ When it came to starting new organizations, the Automotives always took an active interest. Perhaps this is why one of the Automotive students was made president of the newly formed Varsity Club. They also had a good share of men participating in most of the varsity sports. We, here at State Tech, are proud to send this first class of Automotive Technology students out to represent our school, for we are well acquainted with the willing and cooperative spirit which goes with them.

X a TECHNICAL and MEDICAL OFFICE ASSISTANTS TECHNICAL MEDICAL OFFICE Besides classes, labs, and homework, the SENIOR M.O.’s have engaged in many outside activities. Members of the class took part in the publication of both Tech Talk and Citadel. They held offices in the Student Council as well as in the Senior Class. Their social activities began with a going away party at the end of the first term for one of their instructors, Mrs. Margery Dozier. Many birthday cakes have been purchased and consumed in honor of their classmates. Their social activities were concluded at an Annual Senior M.O., dinner held in May. Data sheets, templates, steel beams, and summaries took up many hours of the T.O. SENIORS’ time. However, they still found time for some outside activi- ties. A Christmas party, held at the home of Ed Black, was, perhaps, the high- light of the year. At the end of the second term, they honored Mr. Wright, their Electronics instructor, with a going-away party. A large majority of the class took part in the many skating parties held during the year. Also, the men of the class participated actively in all types of intramural events and contributed some top-notch players to both the J-V and Varsity basketball teams. The other activities were not lacking T.O.’s either. They were represented in almost every existing activity. In many, they held high offices. MEDICAL OFFICE ASSISTANTS First Row: M. Teed, M.

Vice President Ge. � . tN ELLEN THOMPSON Bookkeeper Two more administrations have passed through the halls of State Tech. The Student Council officers for these administrations were elected in a term preceding the 1950-51 school year. Edward Tucker was our first leader. His administration had the important job of approving the budgets of all clubs. Chairmen were chosen for various committees which were to take part in solv- ing whatever problems were to arise. Thus, the Council was prepared to meet the coming year. With the arrival of the second term, William Shramek took over. During this term, the Council started a new and simpler method of bookkeeping, which was suggested to them by the state auditors. As last year, the Council sent representatives to the Rochester Synposium. Four students went, including the Presidents of the two administrations. It was their duty to take part ina panel dis- cussion and bring back reports for the student body. Something entirely new, and of which our Student Council is an originator, is the University of New York State Student Council Association. The first conference was held in May at our own State Tech. Student Council officers from all the two-year Tech schools met to discuss the business of the schools in general. The purpose is to promote closer relations between the New York State Institutes by setting up an arbitrary council. Each year the Student Council is improving. It is continually becoming better able to cope with the many problems and new issues which are brought to its attention. State Tech can well be proud of the work accom- plished by the Student Council of 750 and 751.

The Camera Club, always an energetic group, has this year added new equipment, prepared a new camera studio, and is working on the construction of a new film processing lab, all for the purpose of taking and developing better pictures. Under the direction of Mr. Armstrong, faculty advisor, the Camera Club was re- sponsible for taking and developing all the Tech Talk and Yearbook pictures. As in the past years, the success of these publications has depended greatly on this club. The addition of the new studio and the increase in photographic equipment has not only resulted in better pictures, but also in a more active interest on the part of the stud- ents, The Camera Club officers are: President, Howard Dingman; Secretary, William Burgin; and Treasurer, Edward Tucker.

Although Dick Baldwin’s charges were not as successful in the tournament as they had been during the regular season, they gained national notice which may result in games with stronger, out-of- state teams during the coming year, which is a step in the right direction for this relatively young, but powerful team. Highlights of the past season included Ben Clarke’s total point output of 556 points which broke the season individual point record; Bobby Ross’ 33 points, a new single-game record; and the always close and thrilling games with the teams from the New York area: Bergen, Bayonne, and Brooklyn Tech. Another ‘first’? in the Hornet’s history was accomplished when the Baldwin men won the New York State Institute Tournament at Canton, N.Y. This trip to the cold northern limits of upstate New York was highlighted by the third of the three games which State Tech found it necessary to win in order to win the trophy. This game was with Long Island, a very tall and polished team. Although the Binghamtonians were not as tall, they proved to have just a little more polish as they squeezed out a 62-61 victory over the Aggies. This victory was accom- plished by Jerry Fuller’s twisting lay-up shot with only eight seconds to play. As a fitting reward, Jerry was elected by his teammates as next year’s captain. His basketball knowledge and his cool-headedness should prove him a worthy successor to this year’s popular captain, Paul Krch. 63 VARSITY BASEBALL First Row: Gary Hartman, Batboy. Second Row: J.

Coach Carl Abissi has built the 1951 version around eight returning veterans. At the Citadel’s deadline time, the Hornets had compiled a recordof four wins and three losses with eight games left to be played on the schedule. The team started slowly but gradually found the range, winning three out of the last four games. The Black and Gold opened its season at Recrea- tion Park with Keystone as its opponent. The game went to Keystone in a 15-10 slugfest. In its second game, the Hornets gave Morrisville at 7-1 win in football temperature. The first win of the season found Cobleskill as a 4-3 victim. State Tech made it two in a row with an 8-3 win over Keystone. This avenged a defeat earlier in the season. Morrisville brought a tough team to town and again walked away with a 7-t victory. During a weekend trip, Bayonne Jr. College forfeited 9-0, and Pratt Institute bowed 8-3 at Brooklyn. , “i Y ALLYN PEARSALL ARTHUR BANFIELD BASEBALL MANAGER Bernie Smithka ASSISTANT MANAGER Haig Gopoian GARY HARTMAN Our Big-Leaguer BURT SLATER ROBERT ROBINSON VICTOR PETRILLO RICHARD CHRISTMAN GERALD FULLER Lares se Nae 2a athe cic ciel First Row: D.

WHESTLING TEAM The 50-51 season was actually the first that State Tech could officially boast a wrestling team. The team can well be proud of the achievement; for it was a hard struggle to become recognized. Last year the boys had to train without any appreci- able equipment. This ye ar, because of the hard work done by Mr. Tom Black, the coach, in cutting through red-tape and making ends meet, the team has a large mat and cover and various other types of wrestling training equipment. The season started out as well as can be expected for a new team. By the time the fifth match came along they had won two and lost two. But as the season wore on so did the school term, and because of the demand by scholastic requirements the team lost several first team personnel. To make matters worse old lady fortune stopped smiling again and this time a few more men were lost via the hard road to injury. This did not dampen the spirits of the remaining men. They went on to another victory and gave their other opponents tough battles. The final score was three wins, five losses, having beaten such teams as Ithaca College and Cortland State Teachers which, by the way, are physical education colleges. Other teams met were some four-year schools like Kings College and Wyoming Seminary. Another strong opponent from whom State Tech had to retire defeated, but not without a struggle that lasted until the last match, was Long Island A T. 66 S.T.

These victories include 2 wins over Harpur which neither the coach, the players, nor the student body would trade for any other ten victories consider- ing the fact that they were the last wins that any Hornet sport- ing unit will have over the green-clad Harpurites. Another highlight of the J.V. season was the game with the Oneonta juniors on the Oneonta court. At the halftime buzzer, the black and gold trailed by the phenomenal score of 25-9. They came back, however, after a typical halftime inspirational talk by Coach Abissi and went on to squeeze out a 54-51 victory. This game was typical of the kind of ball that next year’s varsity boys will be producing for Coach Baldwin. 67 VARSITY VOLLEYBALL MGHAM TON First Row: Bob Clark, Glenn Tiffany, Gordon Knapp, Roberts, Harry Sadler.

Known as the Varsity Club, all varsity award recipients, including managers and trainers, are eligible for membership. At one of the first meetings, the fol- lowing officers were elected: Bob Ross, President; Al Pearsall, Vice- President; Mike LaCava, Secretary; Dick Lowe, Treasurer. The Club sponsored a very successful dance during April, the highlight of which was the crowning of Miss Varsity of 1951--Miss Norma Burkhardt. Another accomplishment of the group is the presentation of a trophy at the Activity Dinner to the outstanding athlete of the year as chosen by the Varsity Club. 69 VARGITY CHEERLEADERS Left to Right: Margot Rupp, Shirley Groce, Joyce Sheehan, Marcell Boulous.

Laying the groundwork for future graduates was an important duty of the Alumni Association. Today nearly every major industry in the Triple Cities area, as well as many other industries throughout the state have employed State Tech graduates. Even Uncle Sam has his share of our illustrious men. To say that State Tech has come forth with another ‘‘first’’ is not exactly a novelty, for, since our Institute is barely five years old, it is logical that we should have a great many new organizations. This one, however, is of particular importance, be- cause for the first time since our founding, State Tech now has an active and energetic Alumni Association. The Alumni Association was initiated at a business meeting preceding the annual Alumni Basketball game, early in December. At this meeting the Association elected as its officers: President-Warren Wagner, Vice President-Richard Mehlenbacher, Secretary-Bette Lovelee, Treasurer-Joseph Pokorak, and Historian-Rhoda Fish. Soon after this, plans were made for an Alumni newspaper and Rita Duffy was elected Editor. We, the class of ’51, give our thanks to the Alumni for the grand job they have done Since their own graduation.
