Many are in far-away places serving in the armed forces, A larger number are em- ployed locally, are getting married, building homes, raising families, For them it is possible to maintain a close contact with Institute activi- ties through the Alumni Association, Its aims are to maintain the friendship. de- veloped while students and to promote the wel- fare of the Institute. An example of the latter objective was the efforts of the Association to- ward securing the permanency of the Institute. In the social line the Alumni held a dinner and election of officers in November, followed by a basketball game with the varsity. The Spring semi-formal in May was sponsored jointly by the Alumni and the Student Council, Unfortunately a baseball game with the varsity was rained out.

The Big Brother program was launched the same day to acquaint Seniors and Freshmen, In the fall, Mr, Chernin spoke to us on behalf of Dwight D. Eisenhower, then a candidate for the Presidency. The Westinghouse Company presented an un- usual science show--‘‘Energy in Action’’. It was created by scientists of the Westinghouse Research Laboratories and dealt with low tem- perature research, The Student Council again sponsored a pro- duction by the Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta Guild of Syracuse; the musical comedy ‘‘Iolanthe’’ was presented here in March, That same month, four student delegates and several faculty mem- bers went to New York City to attend the annual Symposium of the State University of New York. The delegates later gave a report of the meet- ings at a convocation, Atthe same time, we heard about the Mock Senate held in Albany. Two freshmen andtwo seniors represented State Techand presented abill that would abolish Re- gents in this state, The bill was not passed, but our delegates said the week-end was very well spent and suggested that next year a larger dele- gation be sent, Parent’s Day once more brought the mothers and fathers of State Tech students to the institute to meet our instructors and become familiar with the physical plant where their children spend so much time--and energy, This spring, one day was set aside for an Open House. In- stead of attending regular classes, students worked through the day and evening on displays and demonstrations or acted as guides through the various labs and classrooms, What is more outstanding than the changing of this school from a state institute to a community college? Next year we’llhave a new name, changes in the organization of the school and, Hoppened? in not too many years, the fine campus we’ve waited so patiently for. One eventof the past year was outstanding, but not inthe sense we consider the other happenings, While returning from a tournament in Scranton, four members of our volleyball team were in- volved in an automobile accident. Three of the boys are up on their feet again; we’re still anxiously watching the progress of the fourth, A new two-party system for electing Student Council officers was inaugurated, Elections were held and successfully presented the Fresh- men with fine leaders for their Senior year at State Tech (or the same school but with a dif- ferent name), The annual Awards Banquet was held at the Johnson City American Legion, After a fine dinner, awards were presented to those students who had been outstanding in athletics and other extra-curricular activities during the past term. An orchestra furnished music for dancing after the dinner. In May, picnic time arrived and once more we migrated toState Park for a big blow-out. What with ball games, tasty refreshments, and en- tertaining companions, ‘‘a good time was had by all’’--with our faithful Chem Seniors setting the pace. The end of every college year belongs primar - ily to the senior class, The Class of 753 dined and danced their way through the Senior Dinner - Dance with their usual gusto, Then, at the prop- er time, each one solemnly donned his cap and gown and his most this-is-the-day-I’ve-been- waiting-for e xpression to enter the auditorium and be properly graduated. To them we would comment on an outstanding event: their life after graduation: ‘‘We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite. ”’ ANONYMOUS TY.

The RegionXV Junior College Tournament held at Kalurah Temple was perhaps the biggest morale defeat suffered by the Hornets. Beating Brooklyn Tech in the final game not only won the Region XV crown for the Hornets but also enabled them to enter the National Junior College Tournament at Hutchingson, Kansas, But the story could- n’t have a happy ending as the Brooklyn Tech coach strongly protested the use of Ford Baker who played in the closing minutes of the final game. After much heated debate, the NJCAA ruled the ‘‘Baker incident’? unfavorable and the Hornets had to relinquish their crown in favor of Brook- lyn Tech. That seemed to be the turning point of the Hornet’s season because they continued to play a brilliant but erratic and unpredictable brand of ball from there on, This did not, however, hold back the spirit and fight the boys put up against the 76 opposing teams because they did a marvelous job and lost many of the close games that would have given them a better chance. The disbanding of the Empire State Conference, also, took place during this un- usual season. Coach Dick Baldwin’s historical speech in which he exclaimed toa rival coach, ‘‘I can start my manager and still beat your team’’, was the highlight of the coach’s meeting at Syracuse, Through mutual agreement the conference was disbanded temporarily. The lack of reserves probably caused the Hornets to lose two straight games in the N.Y.S. Institute Tournament held in Utica. Buffalo and Brooklyn Tech, two teams beaten by the Hornets in earlier season games, eliminated the Hornets by pulling away in the closing minutes of both games, For the last three minutes in each game, the Hornets were forced to play with only three men, due to the five-foul rule. Coach Dick Baldwin, considered by many the best in the area, once more turned out a winning combination which reflects directly upon him and brings out his ability as a basketball coach. Through his and the team’s hard effort, State Tech again fielded a basketball powerhouse in this section of the state. Among the scoring highlights of the season was co-captain Paul Guley’s individual record-breaking 36 points against Buffalo Tech, but a few games later, Joe Daszewski’s 39 points against Oneonta State regained his title for him, Scoring honors of the season went to co-captain Pete Hatala with 657 points to become the second highest scorer in Tech’s history. The performance of Murph Hlopko and Bill Dekar during the season has earn- ed them co-captain honors for the 1953-1954 season, 1K ¢ Varsity Volleyball | Row 1: Jack Lowery, Jack Armstrong, Row 2: Jim Landon, Elwood Graham, Joe Armstrong, Tony Ruspantini, John Fitch, Row 3: Gordon Hitt, Bob Hillis, Dick Leo, Ronald Carroll, Bob Killey, Roy Green- wood, coach, State Tech’s varsity volleyball team has become recognized as one of the leading college teams in the East, It has been host for two years to the Eastern College Volleyball Tourna- ment, and has taken third place in that tournament both times. Other colleges in the Eastern Tournament have included: Springfield College, Cooper-Union, Rensselaer Polytechnic In- stitute, Carnegie Tech, Oswego State Teachers College, and Wilkes College, This year a special section for intramural teams was included in the Eastern College Tournament, Intramural teams were entered from Cornell, Colgate, Brockport State Teach- ers College, Wilkes, University of Scranton, Oswego State Teachers College, and Carnegie ech; An automobile accident in March put co-captains Jack Armstrong and Jack Lowery and first-string passer, John Fitch, out of action for the remainder of the season, However, three junior varsity men, Gordon Hitt, Elwood Graham, and Ronnie Carroll, were good enough players to move up to the varsity squad, so that theteam made a respectable showing for the rest of the season, Captain-elect Joe Armstrong and Tony Ruspantini were chosen as two of the outstanding spikers in the Eastern Tournament. Co-Captains Jack Armstrong and Jack Lowery had re- ceived mention as outstanding players in tournaments before their accident, The volleyball Hornets have received favorable mention both in the Volleyball Guide and in the International Volleyball Review, and Coach Roy Greenwood has been asked to become a correspondent for both publications, To get a volleyball team into shape for the spring tournaments, a college with less than 300 men must start practicing early in the fall and play nearby college and Y.M.C.A. teams as often as possible, As a result of this hard work, our volleyball team has been aple to play successfully against much larger colleges, and is ready to tackle any college team within traveling distance, even Harvard, Yale, West Point or Notre Dame, if they have the nerve to play us, Negotiations are under way for adding several new colleges to our 1953- 1954 schedule, Atthe same time, varsity volleyball does not crowd out intramural matches for all students, Probably more students play volleyball at State Tech than engage in any other single sport, There are volleyball matches nearly every noon each term except the summer term, At the beginning of the spring term an intramural championship tournament is held. This year it was won by the Mechanical Freshmen, but the Electrical Freshmen and the Electrical Seniors gave them some stiff competition. Negotiations are under way for some of the intramural teams to play intramural teams from nearby colleges next year. A lot of color was added to the intramural program by several mixed volleyball teams of three men and three women each, At one time six mixed teams were competing and furnish- ing considerable entertainment during the lunch hour. One mixed team even defeated one of the men’s teams, 19 Most students find that the type of volleyball played at State Tech requires more skill, more expert ball handling, and more strategy than they had encountered before. However, our students make rapid progress as volleyball players, and develop skills in a sport that they can play for the rest of their lives, Meeting outside teams has helped our students to appreciate what degrees of expertness are possible, and has stimulated them to greater improvement, Binghamton is a center of volleyball enthusiasm, and that fact has helped us in many ways, Stan Brown of the Binghamton Y. M. C. A. has done a lot to help train and develop our teams, The Binghamton Y has offered the use of its facilities at times and the Bing- hamton Y Varsity team has encouraged and helped to teach our players. Local business and professional men have officiated at our tournaments, furnished trophies for our tournaments, donated food for meals to be servedto players at long tournaments, and made occasional financial contributions. Without all this help, much less progress could have been made, 7: ae ea oa Varsity Baseball Row 1: Jim Landon, John Miller, Duane Winters, Jim Luciani, Murph Hlopko, Frank Tokos, Mario Cianicosi, Tony Hronec, Row 2: Bob Wright, John Husnay, Charles Vernon, Ed White, Ford Baker, Don Dunbar, John Simek, Coach Dick Baldwin, Absent from picture: Pete Hatala, Bill Wiley.

Also missing as a result of a near-fatal auto accident were the team’s number one pitching prospect, Jack Lowery, and outfielder Jack Armstrong. In addition Coach Mc Vean’s new duties as Registrar pre- cluded his continuing at the helm of the team, However, some thirty candidates - including veteran infielders Mario Cianciosi and Ed White and outfielders Captain John Husnay, Pat Miller and Pete Hatala, all lettermen - greeted new Coach Baldwin when he called the first baseball meeting late in March, a mixture of seniors and frosh that was to compile the best Tech baseball record ever - seven wins in nine games - and establish an awesome team batting mark of .311 in chas- ing 93 runs across home plate. Experts say that pitching is the major factor in a baseball team’s success and Coach Baldwin was fortunate in coming up with frosh Jim Landon, who very capably handled most of the mound chores in recording four wins in five starts, Former pro Ford Baker also split two decisions in two non-collegiate tilts against LB.M., the win a 4-1 one-hitter, It is also axiomatic that a team’s defensive strength is directly proportional to its down- the-middle talent, And here the Hornets excelled as three newcomers abetted Captain Husnay, a fixture in center field: burly Frank Tokos - a capable receiver and a wily hand- ler of pitchers - did the ball stopping, and Murph Hlopko and Jim Luciani composeda slick-fielding keystone combination, The Hornets were also blessed at first base as frosh Duane Winters - a hustling, hard-hitting speedster - proved to be the Black and Gold’s all-time best at first base. Mario Cianciosi at third rounded out the infield with Chuck Vernon filling in very capably in utility roles. In the outfield along with Husnay, who led the batting parade with a .424 average were Pat Miller and Ed White, both spelled occas- ionally with Bill Wiley and Pete Hatala. Although the team was hampered all the way by the vagaries of the Spring weather which limited practice sessions and rained out the Alumni and one Utica Tech game, the play- ers performed brilliantly in racking up a 7-2 record, With many of the key players re- turning, Coach Baldwin is looking forward to a banner year in 1954, 82 Varsity Cheerleaders cleda W aN pernie Kucko, n Tomanclss J.V.
