Late in September of 1958, Corning Community College launched its sports program when Coach Isacco Valli of Corning, a former European soccer player, greeted several candidates for the soccer team. The team worked out at McKinney Park which was do- nated by the city. The “Barons” were hampered by inexperience and a lack of depth. However, the improved play of such starters as Neil Bulkley, Scott Steiner, and Don Lin- coln plus eight of eleven starters returning promised to make the “Barons” a more formidable opponent for the ’59 season. The “Barons” were given the use of the War Memo- rial Stadium during the ’59 season. The veterans and several newcomers were introduced to the student body at a pep rally. A large bonfire gave fuel to the enthusiasm of the students. As the season progressed, injuries to key players, Dick Thompson and Clark Wambold, plus seasoned opponents again hurt the “Barons’ ” hopes of a winning season. Several sophomores ended their playing careers at C.C.C., but outstanding freshmen Clark Wambold, Ernest Goodrich, and Bob Smith provide a solid nu- cleus for next year’s squad. 13

CONVOCATION 1958 Dr. Perry introduces the various instructors to the first group of students to enter the College. After comments by Mr. Fred Parsons, suitable to the occasion, all join in a thankful supplication for God’s mercy on the school and in their studies. Sports events, light games for prizes, and a picnic were fea- tures of this first annual gct-ac- quainted outing held in late Sep- tember of 1959. Students and teachers alike look forward to the fellowship of All-College Day. 12

Now it is time to get down to the main reason for being here: increasing our knowledge and under- standing of the world around us. Bill Olmstead, a member of the Student Steering Committee, guides a new student to her first class. The reason is made clear through the year as each student gradually re- alizes the standards set up by the Honor Guild: Qui diligentem et fidelem dis- cipulum per unum annum se monstravit et gradum insignem meruit, nunc et in perpetuum membrum huius societatis honoris causa electus est. Ergo nos, praeses et decanus et pro- fessores huius collegi in urbe Corning civitatis Novi Yorkensis hodie ei omnia beneficia et privilegia so- cietatis attribuimus et hoc modo eum laude dignum indicamus. Ad cuius eventus test- imonium sigillum Univer- sitatis Novi Yorkensis et manum nostram posuimus. HONOR GUILD—David Bateman, David Tyler, Charles Barrett, Michael Kcrwan, Milton Thomas, Richard Thompson, Elwyn Patrick, Audrey Hughes, Ellen Starr, Sylvette Evans, and Norma Nelson. 14
