Be- sides taking with us a proficiency in a chosen field, we will carry in memory the unfor- gettable incidents, both happy and sad, that have happened to us. In writing this book, we have tried to recapture some of the outstanding events that have taken place during our too-brief stay at Tech. Many years from now when our Alma Mater is firmly established on its own campus, we will recall our own college days: of pep rallies in the cafeteria; of fighting our way through rain, sleet, and snow to the various labs outside the main building; of our fabulous basketball team; of formal and informal dances; but most important, of the lasting friend- ships we have made. Nothing could express our feelings better than does the last verse of our Alma Mater: ''So we'll drink a toast to you our Alma Mater, And to the grads wherever they may be, As we proudly stand and sound your name together Broome Tech, we sing our praises all to thee. ' DEDICATION ? 2 =. | goa (AZ de meses eee IZA , Des) ORES Skt MR. RICHARD E. BALDWIN is ae y +? 7 ORS ie DD OPES eee a. a ee ee ae he Sak eee eh tng The smiling scholar, the competent coach, the man who gives the Hornets their sting - this description fits only one man - Richard Baldwin, better known to most of Broome Tech as ''Coach.'' Because of Mr. Baldwin's skill as a coach and his all-around good sports- manship, he has helped to build the foundation of tradition upon which every good college stands. Mr. Baldwin's coolness in a tight spot, exhibited by his conduct during a game, his at- titude toward the referees and opposing coaches has set an excellent example for his play- ers and the students in general. In addition to his coaching duties, Mr. Baldwin teaches Communication Skills in an ef- fort to disprove the theory that ''all good athletes are dumb.'' (Future basketball players please note!) Mr. Baldwin's ''schoolroom manner'' - his friendly nature, ready smile, and helpful attitude - abolishes any fears that students might have who seem to have been allergic to English courses in the past. To you, Coach Baldwin, we dedicate our yearbook. This is our small way of saying ''Thanks'' for the wonderful teams you have produced in the past and for all of the tradi- tions you have built up along the way. IN MEMORIAM JAMES MEADE As years pass by, new friends are made and old acquaintances all but forgotten. In order that one friend may live on in the hearts of his classmates we respectfully pay tribute to James Meade. Jim joined us in September, 1953, asa mechanical student. His stay was short but in the brief period he was with us he made himself known to his fellow class- mates as a cheerful, congenial person. Jim had just completed a six-year 'hitch'' in the Navy and was availing himself of a higher education so that he could establish himself in industry. He wa s with us only until November when he had his unfortunate accident, but we will always remember him, not only for his likable personality but also for his ability to apply himself studiously to any problem that presented itself. ] , Ms ig STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK WILLIAM S.

This statement has been heard by all at one time or another, but it is doubtless that it has ever been heard in connection with our Automotive Department. It is hard to conceive that something as noisy as the Autos' shop can be referred to as still. As you will see, it is not the shop but the men who are the still ones. Little is heard or seen of them around school. Even though this is true it does not mean that they are inactive. Heavens no! A brief glimpse at their activities reveals interests in various fields. There are among them, a radio short-wave 'ham'' working for his amateur license; a man working for his Private Pilot's license; a man who is dreaming of entirely designing and building his own car and whose interests are photography, boating and welding; a couple of men who be- long to a local hot rod club called, ''The Highway Men; ' and also a man of too-expensive-auto- part designing ideas. The life-blood of these men is cars. At one time or another they have all possessed a car which was in some degree of repair. Every make of car has been in the possession of each one of these men at some time or another so that he could add his own special touches of genius. As the still waters of a pond calmly run to join the streams and rivers which eventually lead to the seas, so will our Automotives progress. 51 Pp RE ar Le Days ea a ia ee � al CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY Yr t4 CLASS OF 1956 Row 1: Walter Burrows, Eugene Frank, Ronald Mattice, Beatrice Taber, Florence Burford, William Strunk, Joseph Sbarra, William Gibbons.

There is a group of students seldom seen cavorting around the hallowed halls of Broome Tech. They can usually be found hidden away among their beakers, flasks, and Bunsen burners in the Prescott Building. But every once in a while their cheerful, grimy faces can be seen peering into, out of, or around the cafeteria. The Chem students are human, although that is a debatable statement. They have two volley- ball teams, play basketball, belong to Volleyball Club, Camera Club, and help Social Committee to make a success of school events. Life isn't easy for these Chem students. They must be mechanics, electricians, typists, carpen- ters, firemen, apple-polishers, and all-around handy men (especially around women)! Each week they grudgingly turn over their playground - lab, that is - to fifteen fumbling females, and then run for their lives. So far, the lab is still there! Whether working or having fun, the Chems are buddies to the end! 53 14 7) iat a: ‘ = zi SECTION 1A-1, CLASS OF 1956 Row 1: Bichara Aboufadel, Richard Curley, Guy Barnes, John Brown, Richard Demeree.

When the lights in the cafeteria start flickering, no one has to ask ''Wa Happen''? We all know that it's only the Electricals at work. This is the largest class at Broome Tech, and, while they can usually be found exerting ''brain-energy'' at the Rider Building, they also manage to find time for outside activities. One of the finest intramural volleyball teams to appear during the noon hour is made up of six Electricals. They also play basketball, participate in Student Council activities, work dilligent- ly on Social Committee, and root loudly at the basketball games. Serious-minded but school-spirited too is this class of Electrical Technology students. 56 MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY SECTION 1A-1, CLASS OF 1956 Row 1; Milo Brunick, Thomas Cummings, Charles DeGregorio, Edwin Bronson, Ralph Budine, Gerald Conrad, David Chandler.

Rusty rainpipe? Maybe a broken door knob? Never fear! There's a Mechanical here! The Mechanical students seem to be a quiet, uncomplaining group of individuals until they turn out in full force to cheer at a basketball game. They enjoy playing basketball and volleyball and have two good teams in each sport. They also belong to Volleyball Club, the Athletic Committee, and Newman Club. Some of the Mechanicals blend their voices into the fine music we hear from the Glee Club. This spirited group adds much to life at Broome Tech. 59 MEDICAL OFFICE ASSISTANTS i § | CASS OF 41956 Row 1: Dorothy Hathaway, Grace Williams, Nancy Harding, Patricia Nestor, Maureen Mulrooney, Nancy O'Hora, Barbara Srnka, Nancy Holcomb.

Who is the first person to come running when the blood starts to flow from a cut finger? Why, an M.O. of course! These girls can often be seen carrying long white lab coats, muttering ana- tomical terms to no one in particular, or furiously trying to take dictation. Active members of volleyball, basketball, Glee Club, Social Committee, and cheerleading come from this class. This group's attendance at games, dances, and other activities is something to be commended. (NOTE: This is an all-girl's course; does this mean that girls are better par- ticipants than the boys?) Playing practical jokes on unsuspecting Chemistry instructors is only one of their favorite pas- times. The M.O.'s celebrated Halloween with a wiener roast and Petctraied the start of Christmas vacation with a ''coffee-and-cake'' party in the Chem lab. Always laughing and a lot of fun, the M.O.'s have again this year contributed much to the school . 61 TECHNICAL OFFICE ASSISTANTS denlnliiainecaie eset eit AGATE ee item ta eae tment I ee ORT IY Narre reer etree iceemaniienencicmr sem nmernn- wom pe ae i j : : 9 4 CLASS OF 1956 Row 1: Helene Salkin, Agnes Barno, Martha Wallace, Marguerite Holtzmaster, Kay Lyon, Gartha Pennington, Carolyn Olmstead, Joyce Pelezar.

Contrary to public opinion, all T.O.'s don't turn into slide rules. They are far too busy! This is an athletic class! They play mixed volleyball, girls' volleyball, girls' basketball, and Varsity basketball. The manager of the varsity basketball team this year was also an illustrious T.O. This class also supplies vital members to the Citadel Staff, Newman Club, Glee Club, Social Committee, and Athletic Committee. During school hours the T.O.'s can be found studying (however, they will confess to an occasional game of pinochle) but after school - especially after a basketball game - they are the first to suggest and follow through on a party. Much of the ground work for many parties and pic- nics is laid in this class. This class never runs out of jokes (or jokers). School spirit and leadership are shiningly exhibit- ed by this happy-go-lucky Technical Office Class. 63 pacer ow CMM OS Neer | For Mixed Chorus LAZYBONES “epics Psy ta QTE: sy « ‘ - P, (pie J WIESE eo ALI te OF iy 18, lige t , . td Coot | + 4 i ae 8 ae Lie 7. oa @ é . . . ve “Led . 7 GAT rs 1 a.

The Student Council is the only governing body at Tech that is elected completely by the stu- dents. Two sets of officers are Atte for each year, necessary because of our co-op plan. Student Council is composed of one representative elected by each department and the chair- man of the Council's standing committees who are appointed by the Student Council President. These committees are Athletics, Social, Awards, Music, Camera, and Publications. Throughout the year, the Council sent representatives to the National Student Association meetings at Harpur and Buffalo, to the Mock Senate meeting in Albany, and to the student govern- ment meeting at Alfred. Another project that the Student Council is responsible for is the support and welfare of the school's War Orphan. The Council also sponsors the annual Blood Bank Drive. This is the organization where any and all ''gripes'' are taken to be acted upon. Having this governmental organization is one more stone in the foundation which builds Broome Tech's students into leading citizens of their country and respective communities. 68 a en a ee a ae | ee Row 1: Dorothy Weintraub, Marie Wanser, Rose Proc, Frances Fox, Regina Ford, Louise Davis, Nancy Parsons, Marlene Rollins, Carole Armstrong.

Every dance, every sports event, every party is carefully recorded until the time comes to put them all together as a treasure chest to be opened many years from now, as vivid and real as the day the event took place. Many people must be given credit for the fine job they have done to make this book possible: Our Editor-in-Chief, who worked like a mad-woman to.put the book together; the Literary Staff, who tried to say a million things in just a few sentences; our advisor, for his fine ideas and assis- tance; the Picture Staff, who had to keep everybody happy by scheduling pictures at the right times; the Art Staff, who added touches of originality to the coats the Typing Staff, who put in long hard hours typing the book; the Circulation Staff, who did a marvelous job of selling the book to the Freshmen; and last, but certainly not least, to th e Camera Staff for their fine and very difficult job of taking the pictures. It was inp work, but it was fun. To play even a small part in the creation of something that will still be here after we are gone is an achievement that we are proud of. 69 SOCIAL COMMITTEE Row |: Claire Sekora, Nancy Harding, Louise Davis, Frances Fox, Marie Wanser, Rose Marie Proc, Marlene Rollins, Barbara Srnka, Maureen Mulrooney, Roslyn Jaynes.

Few of us at Broome Tech realize the work that goes on behind the scenes in planning a dance or a party. The ''brain'' behind our activities is the Social Committee. This is the only organiza- tion at Broome Tech that sponsors a scheduled season of social affairs for the students. Any stu- dent at Tech can join this committee simply by attending the meetings as they are posted on the bulletin board. This year the Social Committee outdid themselves as far as social events were concerned. Homecoming Weekend held on November 19 and 20 was highlighted by the inauguration of a King Tech Ball held in the Hotel Arlington. Chris Galatis was crowned King, with Nick Koman- owski, Frank Micalizzi, Boyd Yetter, and Jim Niefer on the court. This was the first time the men at Tech had had the chance to reign ona ''Royal Court.'' However, the overwhelming at- tendance at the Ball indiciated that it won't be the last. Perhaps the most ''atmosphery'' event this year was the Christmas Dance held in the tree-deck- ed lounge. A juke-box and tasty refreshments were imported to put us all in a very mellow vaca- tion mood. The annual Queen of Hearts Ball was held in the Johnson City Moose Club. At this formal as well as at the King Tech formal, people were left without enough chairs to sit on. Frances Fox was the lucky Queen, and Regina Ford, Rose Marie Proc, Louise Davis, and Ila Sanford composed her charming court. All agreed that this lavish affair and our last year at Tech were over much too soon. 70 AWARDS COMMITTEE EEO tees Rr ae re ; AC TERE Si li ate te ee sing siege ad ” é _ aaaieca ee � i ; i j i f t t ; citmminimume ee Row 1: Nancy Parsons, Jean Perhach, Claire Sekora, Barbara Srnka, Nancy O'Hora, Maureen Mulrooney.

A King Tech Formal was held on Friday night in the Hotel Arlington followed by an alumni banquet on Saturday. The cli- max to this very enjoyable weekend was the basketball game between the Alumni and Broome Tech Varsity - the annual bas- ketball season's opening game. Though the Alumni lost the basketball game that night, the two days spent at Tech certain- ly were not a ''Lost Weekend.

Romane Go 2S. fot- see The reincarnation of the Empire State Junior College Con- ference presented the Broome Tech Hornets with a colorful but stiff schedule for their 1954-55 season. As in previous years, however; the Hornets came through with a succe ssful season of 17 wins and 7 losses, running their all-time record to 152 wins and only 49 losses. The Hornets finished the year in third place in the Conference with a record of 8 wins and 4 losses. The first days of practice were encouraging to Coach Bald- win with such lettermen as Captain Chris Galatis, Bernie Ben- sen, Charlie Sax, and Jim Niefer returning for another year. Nick Komanowski (ineligible last year), Steve Kubica (up their snowshoes and manned their dogsleds for the trip to Can- ton. They managed a slim 75-73! victory, but it left the team feeling a bit exhausted and apprehensive toward their next- day's game. On Saturday, the winning margin of a 57-73 point game belonged to Coach Bucky Roche of Binghamton and his tall Paul Smith's five. Bensen was high in both games, scoring 25 and 27 points respectively. Some minor injuries were suffered by the Black and Gold from time to time, but they nevertheless proved that they knew where the win column was located.

This year Broome Tech was invited to participate in the Eastern Regional Junior College Tournament played in New York among some pretty stiff competition. Though both games were lost - one to Trenton 75-66, and one to Paul Smith's 71- 64, the Hornets made a good showing and gained invaluable experience. Herefofore, Broome Tech has reached the century mark only twice in 7 years. This year the Hornets tallied 100 points or more in three games. The first game was an even 100-70 vic- tory over Orange County Community College of Middletown with Bensen establishing a new record (but not for long) of 43 points in one game. The second century game was a season's high for the Triple Cities. The Hornets trounced Cobleskill $ 69 Remarkable Finale [� -O.

Galatis and Komanowski played their usual fine games and scored 22 points each. The last game of the season found the Hornets in the century bracket for the third time this year and for the fifth time in Tech history. The 114-79 victory over Alfred Tech very nicely avenged the earlier loss by 7 points at Alfred. Bensen seemed to be making up for the Alfred game he missed, as he scored 63 points and established a new record. It was the general feeling of the fans that this game was a fitting climax to the endless round of excellent games played throughout the season. Though Bensen was the one who landed in the headlines most often this season, due credit must be given to Nick Komanow- ski, Chris Galatis, Jim Niefer, and Charlie Sax for their fine sportsmanship and all-around fine ball playing. A man is only as good as the men behind him, and this Broome Tech team of 1954-55 was a genuine pleasure to watch. Congratulations to Coach Baldwin for the fine team produced. May Tech never cease to have great teams such as this! ¥ BAN bes Row ay Dick Fiddrskr Alan Barnum, Mr. Beagle, Joseph Sbarra, Glenn Hills. Row 2: Dick Masaryk, Wade Davern, Robert Sedlak, John Sents, John Ward. The season just completed was not what a person would call a success. That can be seer. by glancing at the won-lost record which was 1-15. The main reason for such a dismal record was the fact that the team was entered in the Industrial League, which proved to be too fast a circuit for the Broome Tech Yearlings. Another reason for the poor showing was the limited practice ses- sions - there weren't too many. A main factor involved here was that Mr. Beagle, the regular- season coach, had other obligations, such as teaching night school, and therefore, during the span of the season, the team was under the direction of five different men. It was under the helm of Mr. Kapral that the high-light-victory over Ansco occurred. It was primarily a team effort, although several boys stood out in the victory. Wade Davern led both teams with 25 points, and George Moschak chipped in with 16. Bob Sedlak played a prominent role as playmaker and, along with George Wyskoski, controlled both backboards. Captain Glenn Hills played a steady game as did Dick Masaryk, John Sents, and John Ward. In the individual statistics department, Bob Sedlak led the team in field goals (79), free throw conversions (62), total points (220), highest average (13.8), and had the most rebounds. Also, he was the only man on the 14 man team who played in every game (16). Wade Davern placed second to 5edlak in everything except rebounding, a department where George Wyskoski, Jim Norris and Glenn Hills all helped out. One oddity that occurred during the season was against the IBM second shift when the Jayvees started out with only five men. At the end of the third quarter, the score was 44-32 in favor of the Junior Hornets. With approximately eight minutes left, Hills was banished when he committ- ed his fifth foul. At this point there still was no cause for alarm, but two minutes later Davern fouled out and slowly, but surely, the lead dwindled down. Finally, at 1:59, with the score tied 93-53, Vasilchik sank two foul shots for IBM and the Baby Hornets were never in front again. But hold on! With four seconds to go, Sedlak joined the band of guilty culprits to the sidelines when he was charged with his fifth personal; therefore, at the game's end only Sents was left and in- cidentally, the gallant crew lost, 55-63. The closest threat of the opponents' hitting the century mark came in February against the IBM first shift. They had us scared for awhile, but we came through - they fonly'' scored 98. We re- joiced on our terrific ''defense'' but the biggest event was yet to come. On March 15, the once- beaten Owego A.A. poured a grand total of 109 points through the hoops. Sedlak hit for 24 points but it was all in vain.

There have been some changes made. . .and very pleasant changes, too! Bigger and better crowds at the basketball games, support and enthusiasm from the spectators, buses to away games - results that have made the cheerleaders feel that their planning and hard work have certainly not been in vain. Throughout the basketball season the cheerleaders conducted many pep rallies at convocations and in the cafeteria. The spirit displayed by the students (especially by the Mechanical and Automotive seniors) was sincerely appreciated. The students' noise at away games, made possible by the spectator buses, was a welcome relief from the otherwise dim roar of the five cheerleaders' lone voices. The cheerleaders also made huge strides this year. For the first time they accompanied the players to Buffalo - and by train! The brightest highlight of the year, however, was the weekend trip to New York City for the Eastern Regional Jr. College Tournament. This will scarcely be forgotten for many years to come. Out of 11 away games, the cheerleaders missed only four - quite a contrast to last year's record of going to only two away games. The cheerleaders would like to thank Miss Marci for her time and efforts spent throughout the year. Also, our congratulations to Coach Baldwin and the team for a season well done. May Broome Tech have many more years such as this! 85 VARSITY VOLLEYBALL aot Row 1: Bob O'Connor, Manager. Row 2: Al Gillow, Larry Cramer, Mr. Greenwood, Lindy Isabella, Bob Baldwin.

The Broome Tech Varsity Volleyball team took second place in the College Section of the Bos- ton V Party sponsored by the Boston Y.M.C.A. It took second place in the Metropolitan Tourna- ment in New York City sponsored by Cooper Union, tied for fifth place in Section A of the Stan Bown Intercollegiate Volleyball Tournament, and placed first in a triangular tournament at Tech in February. The team also entered three big tournaments in which most of the other teams were more experienced Y.M.C.A. teams - the Jenkins Memorial Tournament sponsored by the Bingham- ton Y.M.C.A., the Gardner Memorial Tournament sponsored by the Scranton Y.M.C.A., and the Open Section of the Boston V Party. The Junior Varsity team played various nearby teams and entered three tournaments. It was eliminated in two matches at the Gardner Tournament, but took first place in the B Section of the Boston V Party's College Tournament. It tied for fourth place in the B Section of the Stan Bown Tournament. Broome Tech's varsity, junior varsity and women's teams all played in the Gardner Memorial Tournament at Scranton in November. Although the varsity and the women's teams did not win a single tournament match, they both made a good showing against tough, older and more exper- ienced teams. The women's team won an exhibition match from the Talk Store team of Scranton, and the junior varsity found that the novice section in which it was playing consisted of teams too inexperienced even to be fun to play against. The junior varsity prefers to lose to worthy oppon- ents rather than to win from push-overs. Two small tournaments were held on our floor in January in which our varsity placed second out of five teams in one and third out of five teams in the other, while the junior varsity tied for third place in the first one and took fifth place in the second one. Other events scheduled for the season included: (1) A mixed volleyball demonstration «on Par- ents' Day in February, (2) a varsity match against Cortland-Ithaca wrestling meet, (3) the Cooper Union Intercollegiate Tournament in New York (in which our varsity took second place last year), (4) the Westchester County Tournament in April (in which we entered the varsity, junior varsity, and women's teams), (5) the Springfield College Tournament in April, and (6) the Stan Bown In- tercollegiate Volleyball Tournament at the IBM Field House in April (in which 16 teams from George Williams, Carnegie Tech, Cooper Union, University of Pittsburgh, Broome Tech, Cort- land State Teachers' College, Oswego State Teachers' College, Siena, University of Scranton, Harpur, R.P.1. and Colgate played last year). 86 J.

Its activities have received considerable notice in the International Volleyball Review and in the Volleyball Guide. It co-sponsored at IBM Field House the biggest col- lege volleyball tournament in the East, and entered college volleyball tournaments else- where whenever the opportunity was offered. It also played in all appropriate nearby non- college tournaments, sometimes entering as many as three teams in a tournament. A new feature of Broome Tech volleyball this year was the staging of volleyball demon- strations in nearby high schools. Many Broome Tech students either participated in such demonstrations or went along as part of the audience. Broome Tech fielded a men's varsity volleyball team, a men's junior varsity volleyball team, and a women's volleyball team, all of which played very well for students who came to college with little knowledge of the strenuous, modern volleyball game and who had only two years in which to develop their volleyball skills before gradudtion. Good players on other teams in the area have said that Broome Tech could have one of the outstanding teams in the country if it were a four-year college. Another new feature this year was the help given by Broome Tech students to the develop- ment of women's volleyball teams among the student nurses at Wilson Memorial Hospital and City Hospital. Several thrilling women's tournaments were held on our floor for these teams, and the Broome Tech women did well in all of these tournaments. Volleyball also led to closer cooperation with Wilson and City Hospital in social activities. The intramural volleyball program for men's teams, women's teams, and mixed teams was again very popular. More students played volleyball than were found playing any other sport. Broome Tech volleyball teams are noted for good sportsmanship and for clean, vigorous playing. They are given a hearty welcome wherever they go, and they help to create a good impression for the school . A valuable organization in the promoting of volleyball both in Broome Tech and else- where has been the Broome Tech Volieyball Club, a group of alert, enthusiastic and capable students. 87 VOLLEYBALL CLUB Row 1: Frank Micalizzi, Glenn Ri ce, Alfred Honeychuck, Mr. Greenwood, Lawrence Cramer, John Ward, Francis Nezelek.

Bernie was the first player picked on the National's All-Star Second Team (incidentally, the only player in the East). This was decidedly an honor since all the other players had participat- ed in the National Tournament played in Kansas City. Bernie was also picked for two other All-Star Teams this season, Hewas an unanimous choice for the All-Star Team of the Eastern Regional Jr. College Tournament, and he placed first on the Empire State Conference All-Star Team. Records were shattered from all sides when this human BB gun came in contact with them. The individual scoring rec- ord for one game of 39 points established by Joe Daczewski seemed low, as Bernie bucketed 63 points against Alfred in his last game for Tech. By scoring 63 points (46 in the last half to set another record) Bernie tied Chuck Rolles' Triple Cities scoring record, and at the same time became the first Triple Cities cager to score 600 points in one season. As could be expected, Bernie also broke the season's scoring record of 554 points in 32 games, held previously by Ben Clarke. Bernie's total points for the season were 626 in only 23 games - a new high for Broome Tech. These records present a definite challenge to all future bas- ketball players at Tech, and will probably not be broken for many years to come. In fact, it would be quite conceivable that they would even remain all-time records. The honors be- stowed upon Bernie were richly deserved; a great tribute to a great basketball player, sportsman, and all-around guy.
