Jarvie has been actively engaged in the new pat- tern of higher education in our state since 1946. His concern is primarily two-fold-to meet the educational needs of society, and to reduce and eliminate the economic barriers which prevent many high school graduates from obtaining higher education. He has made possible a diversity of programs integrated to the service of each com- munity, with a maximum of local control and responsibility. r . selected by the Buffalo EVENING NEWS as one of the twelve outstanding citizens of BuHalo for the year 1949, Richard R. Dry, director of the Buffalo State Technical Insti- tute, in every respectdeserves the honor. He has demon- strated the success achieved by the learn-by-doing college, he has geared education and industry to work hand-in-hand. In the words of his citation, he 'Ihas added a new, large reser- voir to the educational facilities of this community. Laurence E. Spring, assistant director for extension and regis- trar, worked on the surveys made in 1944 ,throughout the state to determine the needs of industry for technicians trained two years beyond the high school level. Not only is he ex- perienced in industrial and educational surveys, but he is also widely acquainted with state leaders, and especially well known among key industrialists of the Niagara Frontier. Students and their families, alumni, staff and extension stu- dents know and like Mr. Spring. Buffalo State Technical Institute Board of Trustees. Seated: Eugene A. Schwarz, Vice-President, George L.

S class statistics while the 1950 census takers have been hard at work among the 150 million odd people of the United States, this busy little gal has been buzzing around BSTI collecting all sorts of information about the 300 seniors who will exit from our portals as the second' graduating class of this great institution. ' in the past two years, have you noticed that most of the seniors have brown hair and brown eyes, there are about Eve guys to every gal, that four of our DH seniors are wearing bright smiles, and diamonds on their left hands, that among the fellows we have one who stands with his head in the clouds at six feet six inches? ' the average senior gal is nineteen years old, five feet five inches tall, and she has brown hair, and brown or blue eyes. The average senior guy is twenty one years old, has brown hair, and brown or blue eyes, and stands about Eve feet eleven inches tall. The youngest of the clan is nearly eighteen years old, the oldest, thirty Hve. i brown hair is prevalent, but one in eight has blonde curls, one in ten has black tresses, and five fellows are outstanding stop signals. Brown and blue eyes are very popular Cexcept on Monday mornings when 75Z become bloodshotj. believe it or not, only half of the seniors are native Buffalonians. The majority of the out-of- towners come from nearby cities, such as Niagara Falls, Kenmore, North Tonawanda, Lockport, and Lackawanna. Some of the students hail from such faraway places as Albany, Corning, Sherks- ton, Ontario, Bradford, and Pittsburgh, Pennsyl- vania. the lucky half of the class come swarming out of the parking lot at 8:25 every morning. Twelve of the not-so-lucky get their daily exercise by walking to school, and the rest have to put up with the NFT Qalthough one fellow claims he uses a pogo stick on nice' days, and one DH gal flies in on her broomstickb. second to lunch and free periods, the lab classes rate much higher than lecture classes in all curriculums. Mr. Benziger and Mr. Flentge share equal honors with Mr. Shenton and Mr. Fitzgibbons and Mr. Mosher for popularity around the campus. most students wrestle with their homework about three hours every night. One ambitious fellow claims he studies .00017 X 10-17 hours diligently every night, and twice as much over the weekends. forty two seniors are now wearing the ball and chain of marriage, twenty two plan to, shortly, fifty are in the blissful state of going steady, and the remaining number are either hoping or smart. When there's any spare time most of us spend it eating, sleeping, playing pinochle, or tending the local still. A few have hobbies or television sets. well, gals, if you want to get your man, here's a bit of advice: 99.44Z of the men want girls that look like Jane Russell, have personality plus, and can spend an inexpensive evening once in a while. and, guys, herefs a hint for you. If you don't have Robert Taylor's features, don't despair- Clark Gable's will do. well, I've about exhausted my keyhole information. Respectfully submitted . . . I. M.

THE Student Council of the Buffalo State Technical Institute held its first meeting during the first week of October. It was at this meeting that the nominations were made for the executive elections. After a long and rousing campaign, the third group of Student Council officers were elected. They are Robert O'Neill, president, Robert Brauch, vice-president, Clara Cannici, recording secretary, and Gloria Harris, treasurer. Miss Gloria Harris was forced to resign because of ill health, and her office Was taken over by Norman Loch. The council then amended the constitution so they could have a better interpretation of the laws. At the same time, the council reissued the organizations' budgets, and advanced school programs. The Student Council Activities Committee is now cooperating with the Student Athletic Associa- tion of the school. They have combined their efforts for a common purpose of building the morale of the student body. Through these efforts the v-arious programs here at BSTI Will be both more successful and more intelligently undertaken. ' The first social event of the Council was the annual Christmas Dance held at Kleinhans Music Hall. In February a St. Valentineis Dance, without admission fee, Was held in the BSTI auditorium.The music was provided by the school dance orchestra under the direction of Joseph Grossman. '78 den to for soo shi gro the tol The council added a few luxuries to the lounge such as the juke box, the Tele-juice machine and deck paint. A new selection of recordings was purchased and a plan madeiwhereby song platters are to be acquired according to the Hit Parade selections. The Council set up a Student Loan Fund for those who are in need of money. There is no set time for repayments, this is handled entirely by an honor system. The Council in 1950 started the honor society, Tau Sigma. Members to be chosen to be sent invitations to join will excel in initiative leader- ship, activity, school spirit, and scholarship. The purpose of the society is to provide a functioning group which will assist in the promotion of the best interests of BSTI, and in organizing and promoting the alumni groups here. The Student Council functions' in an effort to afford students leadership management, as well as to promote extracurricular activities, projects, and social events.

THE National Student Association campus committee consists of the following senior delegates.: James Reid, Robert Rouse, Charlotte Dixon, Howard Schau, Gloria Harris and Mary Lemoine who was secretary of the Western New York district. Junior delegates are Joyce Powell, Pat Spangenberg, Diane Yaw, Vince Adolfo, and John Carpenter. The National Student Association has approximately one half million students from some 800 colleges, universities, and institutions throughout the country as its members. When the respective school joins the NSA network, each and every student becomes a member. NSA was formed to create better relations between the different schools of learning, greater student participation in campus affairs, greater expression of ideas, and increased fellowship among students. NSA is classified in three ways: N ational---consisting of officers for the country elected by the represent- atives of the member colleges at the Annual National Congress, Regional-consisting of state officers elected annually by representatives of member colleges of the state, District-representatives of the respective states. We are in the Western district of New York State along with BuHalo State Teachers, University of Buffalo, D'Youville College, Canisius College and Rosary Hill College. This April, Joyce Powell, Mary Lemoine, Vincent Adolf, and John Carpenter attended the state convention at Rochester Institute of Technology. Main speaker was Dr. Lawrence E. Jarvie, State University of New York. N SA's biggest project this year was the Intercollegiate Varsity Show. This was an overwhelming success and will be an annual affair. Two or three acts were presented by each school participaing. Representing BSTI were Mary Lemoine and Charles Sciandra. The varsity show was put on at Uni- versity of BuHalo,.Niagara University and St. Bonaventure College. 80 i . i A i in bi.

S Y TAU SIGMA CTorch and Scrollj was organized in May, 1950. Although many BSTI students have made marked contributions not only to the Institute but also to the community, heretofore there has been no way of adequately recognizing the achievements of these outstanding students. As the result of the formulation of this honor society, it is now possible, in slight measure, for the Institute to take formal notice of unusual accomplishment. R The committee responsible for drawing up a constitution for Tau Sigma was faced with the prob- lem of finding the most objective method of selection of candidates. It was agreed that if the selection were based on some of the more important personal characteristics, a fairer evaluation of the student's contribution tothe Institute could be made. After exhaustive analysis, the conclusion was reached that selection should be based on evidence of scholarship, leadership, fidelity, personal integrity, and cooper- ativeness. The students who rated highest in these qualities were to be tapped for membership. Each year a maximum of ten new members are to be selected from the graduating class. All students in the senior class are eligible for consideration. The tapping of qualified students takes place within the last two weeks of the fourth quarter. In order to obtain a representative analysis of the senior class, the selection committee consists of members of Tau Sigma as well as the faculty advisers. Charles Orlando is presidehtg Bernard Pawlowski is vice president, Clara Cannici is secretary, and George Coughenour is treasurer. Mr. Benziger, Mr. Fitzgibbons, and Miss Hewlett are faculty advisers. 81 bfi news Buffalo Technical Institute NEWS staff: first row: Clara Cannici, Lois Hickok, Herb Wurstner, Vince Mariani, executive editorg Paul ,Paladino, Doris Colton, second row: Joe Messer, Nina Beckwith, Mary Almeter, Nan- ette Sweetland, Howie Mandell, Miss Cornell and the members of the Communications Skills Department are faculty advisers. THE Buffalo Technical Institute NEWS under the leadership of Vince Mariani, assisted by an able staff, has been issued for special occasions like graduation and the Buffalo symposium arranged by the State University of New York. The Buffalo Institute is one of the thirty-three units of the State Uni- versity. It has also been issued for regular school occasions such as election of class and Student Council officers, Moving-Up Day, and the Sports Assembly. The format has been changed on occasion this year to report student events when they are timely. The staff changed from the multilith process which was carried out here at the Institute, but which re- quired a five-day time clearance, to a commercial job which allowed one-day time clearance. All of you who have been BTI NEWS readers realize the advantages of a 24-hour print job, especially when Institute events are often run at such short notice. , All BTI NEWS readers will remember Howie lNIandell's sparkling column, the Institooter, as well as his brilliant cartoons which were so often take-offs on BSTI customs and traditions. The Co-Ed Corner and Paul Paladino's Column were also widely read, as were Vince's editorials. All students interested in joining the newspaper staff are asked to report to Lois Hickock or Howie Mandell, to come to the first organization meeting the middle of September, or to turn their names and sections in to any member of the Communication Skills department in 242. 82 PR edii of t for intl WP val pul pos in thi yoi so library relations club Behind the scenes: Mrs. Ruth E.

Other activities followed immediately, including arranging special exhibits for the Symposium. A school-wide Book Plate contest was also held to design a book plate to be placed in the front of all gift books to the school library, Library Club members and the co-Winners of the contest are very proud of this contribution to be passed down for use through the years to come. Again, adopting a policy of being Ufirsti' in many activities the club sponsored the first school roller skating party which was a great success and brought a demand for more skating parties in the future. The Think Americann posters posted at strategic places around the school have been a club project. At Christmas time, the first school drive to obtain clothing, records and a record player, and magazines for the patients at the Buffalo State Hospital was initiated bythe club. It was followed by a Christmas party. f 84 1 4 I.. ,,, H ,ff W :aa id E 4 whei visit dem freq' Koi secr mb, th .y. 'ng ok ed ,ry :ry gh ies ch mg ed ct. ng, nts as SWS!

The elected members meet periodically to discuss athletic schedules, sports activities, and such matters dealing with athletics here at BSTI, which continually arise. An asset for successful membership in this council is a broad knowledge of all phases of sports, so that each and every member may be capable of intelli- gently coping with the business end of sports activities at the Institute. In this third year of BSTI sports activity, the Student Council has sponsored four varsity teams in baseball, basketball, tennis and golf. Including the Cheerleaders, 42 major B letters were presented. The BSTI Varsity Athletic Assn. was composed and consists of major lettermen. Keys were presented to them. The Student Athletic Council fostered intramural activities and tournaments in such sports as basketball, softball, golf hole-in-one, table tennis, horse shoes, and deck shuffle-board. Affiliation with the National Junior College Athletic Assn. led to the formation of a New York State Athletic Assn. of all eleven two-year Institutes of the State University of New York. This group now sponsors state-wide tournaments in basketball, golf, and bowling. On Mayl13, 1950, four BSTI golfers represented Buffalo at the first annual State University of New York Institute Golf tournament at Cobleskill. , V Athletic program director Allan L. Davis was aided in sport activities by the following members of the faculty: Mr. Whitmore, Mr. Fitzgibbons, Mr. Goliber, Mr. Olson, Mr. Fix, Mr. Shenton, Mr. Mosher, and Dr. Skinner. - 87 newman club N EWMAN CLUB: first row: Bill Boland, Bob Crosman, Vice-Pres.g Don- ald F.

THE activities of the year for the Newman Club have been many and varied. The objectives of the club are to supply the students with religious, intellectual and social programs. , The officers of the club are: Patrick Kane, president, Robert Crossrnan, vice-president, Mary McAuliffe, secretary, and Thomas Friedman, treasurer. The outstanding religious event of the year was the annualvretreat held at St. Joseph's Old Ca- thedral, which closed with a breakfast at the Hotel Buffalo. Prior to the retreat, a very successful Com- munion breakfast was held to commemorate Newman Day. During the month of December, the mem- bers joined together to celebrate High Mass at Holy Spirit Church. Several discussion groups were conducted at BSTI after school hours. These groups were presided over by Father Thornberry and provided intellectual activity in which everyone participated. A movie to .promote the Christopher hfovement was sponsored during the lunch hours for the benefit of the en- tire student body. The first social function of the year, was a combined meeting and dance held at the Institute. The University of Buffalo, State Teachers College, and BSTI met at the Catholic Center of Buffalo for a supper meeting to discuss plans for the Cleveland Convention. At the final meeting of the year, a slate of new officers was elected, in order that the club may con- tinue successfully. The social activities of the year were closed with the annual picnic which was held at St. Vincent de Paul Camp. 88 student christian y association ON April 25, 1950, BSTI played host to the College Work Department of the Council of Churches. During this meeting, Angelo Pefanis, present of the Institute Student Christian Association, reported on the recent activities of the S.C.A. group. The possibility of the S.C.A. sponsoring some very out- standing movies during the noon periods next year was discussed. From March 29th to April 1st S.C.A. at the Institute collaborated with the other religious or- ganizations in having a World Student Service-Fund campaign to collect money, men's clothing, and books. Jim Reid acted as chairman for the drive. A total of EB33 along with books and clothing was col- lected. This is the Hrst time that all of these organizations had Worked together on an all-school project. The annual dinner and dance sponsored by S.C.A. was held April 3rd in the Ivy Room. Dinner Was at six o'clock with dancing and entertainment following. Mickey Dee and Skinner headed the list of talent as guest stars for the Variety Show held at the Institute on April 27th. Among the talent from BSTI were such performances as a torch singer, Nancy Barnes, accordion player, Bob Renzag impersonation of Al Jolson, Mary Ann Guenther, and a Wonder- ful duplication of Betty Hutton, by Elaine Weber. The entire program Was dedicated to Mr. Elmer' Turner, former Assembly Adviser. Mr. Turner, who had been very seriously ill in the hospital, died Sunday night, April 30th.

THE Institute Glee Club counts 1949-1950 the most successful season since its inception shortly after BSTI opened in 1947. The Glee Club is the only vocal group in the Institute. Rehearsals were held each Monday from 3 :45 to 5:00 in the Student Lounge under the guidance of Mr. Richard Newell, who acted as faculty adviser for the club. . 'The director of the Glee Club, Mr. Kenneth C. Gill, is a well-known figure in the field of music here in Buffalo. Mr. Gill is acclaimed as a competent musician and outstanding music critic. Miss Mildred Stickney has very capably served as Glee Club accompanist. The aims of the Glee Club are both social and educational, and give every member an opportunity to gain knowledge that will improve his singing ability. During the school year, the club provided musi- cal entertainment for the students, by its participation in three assemblies. The spirit of Christmas was instilled in the heart of every student by the Glee Club's excellent presentation of carols at the Christmas assembly. At the Valentine Day assembly, the club sang many Fred Waring arrangements including Dry Bones,', Chiapanecas, and 'selections from Carousel. At the May Athletic assembly, the Glee Club presented an outstanding program including In a Monastery Gardenf' Of Thee I Sing, The Woodchuck Song, and A Great, Big, Wonderful World. . , 90 i i WM 1 21 Q. ill E. 11 I C' TH star are : Pal girl Clu of a futl Cor onlQ Evf pre ste me pri joi chemistry CHEMISTRY SOCIETY SENIORS: first row: Joseph Mergler, Libby M.

THE year 1950 was a banner year for the Chemistry Society here at BSTI. The society was reorganized this year to promote better relations between chemistry students and faculty. This revision also allowed for equal representation of juniors and seniors, thus resulting in a more efficient, democratic organiza- tion. During the first few meetings the constitution was revamped, temporary officers were elected and plans for the coming year were drawn up. In December, permanent. officers were elected. They included David B. Braun, president, Walter P. Duszynski, vice-president, Beverly VVest, secretary, and Russell Sperlazza, treasurer. hir. Arthur C. Flentge was unanimously chosen as faculty adviser. A few of the highlights of the monthly meetings were lectures by such prominent speakers as Mr. E Sa. I .,. pq. .9495 .hx Via..

Even though most of our members have not become Esther Williamses of Johnny Weismullers, the fun and enjoyment derived from the application of the old proverb if you don't succeed at first, try, try, again, more than compensated for aches and pains happily suffered on the following Thursday. Among the most proicient of the regular swimmers was Jean Gartler closely followed by Norm Loch, both of whom will always be remembered for their extraordinary diving ability and their grace- ful backhand and side strokes. The officers of the swimming club are: Russell Callihan, president, Fedora Tonello, vice-president, Rita Willert, secretary, John Mason, treasurer, Norman Loch, public relations officer. The swimming club existed as a girls' swimming club from October, 1948, to February, 1949. It was soon revealed, however, that an insufficient number of girls were attending to justify its support through Student Council funds. With a new constitution approved, .the club was no longer restricted to girls. Among the faculty members who came to the club occasionally were Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Flentge, Mr. Donald Peacock, and Mr. Ralph Ross. ' We of the Swimming Club, wish to take this space to thank our faculty adviser Miss T. C. Hewlett for her deep interest in our club, and all those who made it a successful swimming year. The Swimming Club meetings always afforded an atmostphere of pleasurable sociability to all those taking advantage of its offerings. A welcome hand is continually extended for any prospective members. 95 dance club DANCE CLUB: first row: Norm Loch, Ann Marie Bolognese, secretaryg Thomas F.

THE Dance Club, which was organized last year, resumed meetings in the fall. The following students were elected to office: Rita Iglewski, president, Cwho resigned and her duties were taken over by Tom F riedmanjg Michael Stachowiak, vice-president, Ann Marie Bolognese, secretary, and Lee Bossart, treasurer. ' During the meetings, thanks to the patient efforts of Mr. Carl Young, we received instructions in Latin American dances such as the rhumba, tango, samba, and a fascinating Mexican hat dance. Mr. Young also gave us advanced steps in the foxtrot and waltz. The club has purchased some new records for the juke box, ranging from songs for foxtrots to square dances. All who attended the classes and looked forward to every Tuesday afternoon together enjoyed the club very much. We would like to thank Mr. Peacock, Miss Cornell, and Miss Heffron for spending so much of their time with the club as advisers. Through these lessons we have come in contact with students in the other sections, thus increasing our knowledge of other courses here at BSTI, besides learning grace and balance in ballroom dancing. 96 E Q 3 E E E E Q E Q 3 5 E - sq.

THE Senior Optical Society was approved as a school organization in November, 1949 with Mr. Allan Davis as faculty adviser and Mr. William Staniland as adviser directly from the optical Held. The pas- sage of time has brought to the Optical field advance techniques which in turn have elevated the optician from a one time glass peddlerv to a man of technology and distinction. From this same trend of con- stantly improving came the inspiration of our club. The purpose and spirit of our organization is the advancement of our profession by being receptive to new ideas and keeping the society in action when We enter the optical field. Many of ourimeetings are held in the BSTI Dispensary and they have all been unique in bringing out group work and activities. We will always recall our December-meeting at the University Post with half smiles and perhaps ---- Oh well! It was our good fortune to be honored by the witticisms of the Master of Ceremonies Ed Helta, and the mad entertainment of our two faculty friends. This was noth- ing, however, to the jolt We received when all the checks our club had made out for various and sun- dry' reasons, came bouncing back because they were improperly filled out. Now as our final days at BSTI come to the inevitable end, we are bringing into our Society the Optical juniors so that the society will grow with BSTI. 100 snaps lambda chi iota g J W me LAMBDA CHI IOTA: jirsi row: Ann Marie Bolognese, Jean Hall, Nelda Cameron, Patricia McGuire, Patricia Clark, Charlotte Dixon, Gloria Harris, Mary Lemoine, Phyllis,Netzley, Mari- anne Comerford, Mrs. Hunt, second row: Betty Lou Hofner, Joyce Carlson, Beverly West, Dolores Farino, Dorothy Arbogast, Lois Cline, Norelyn Case, Mary Almeter, Gerry Orcutt, Nancy Barnes, Karen Ann Goldbach, Joan Gehrman, Lois Hickok, Barbara Strouse, Sarah Migliore. LAST fall a group of senior girls, with Mrs. Grace O. Hunt as their adviser, planned to become char- tered members of Lambda Chi Iota, national social sorority. Their charter was granted in April, 1950. T-he original charter members are: Nelda Cameron, Joyce Carlson, Charlotte Dixon, Jean Hall,' Gloria Harris, lllary Lemoine, Patricia lWcGuire, Patricia Clark, Phyllis N etzley, Gerry Orcutt and Norelyn Case.

Supporting Dorothy Arbogast, the president are Nancy Barnes, vice-president, Joyce Powell, recording secretary, Ann lllarie Bolognese, treasurer, Rita Lang, historian, Karen Ann Goldback, chaplain, and Betty Lou Hofner, sergeant-at-arms. Charlotte Dixon was the charter president and Mrs. Grace O. Hunt advised the girls while they were obtaining their charter. N ow, llliss Gertrude M. Murtagh is adviser, and Miss Helen Cornell and lVIrs. Marjorie White are patronesses. One of the first activities was a party held at Pat McGuire's home during the Christmas season. A dance was also held for the benefit of the members of the sorority. New members were rushed early this spring and the Junior girls were entertained at Pat Clarkis home'.A final party was held at the BSTI restaurant for those girls who were to be pledged to the sorority. After this, invitations were sent to them to attend the formal initiation and induction, for admittance into the sorority. At a dinner following this, a guest, Miss Shirley Mae Laclachlan, spoke on the subject Privileges and Dutiesn of each girl to her sorority and to her sisters. Ten Lambda Chi Iota members came to BuHalo for the installation on April 29 from the Utica Institute of Applied Arts and Sciences. The ceremonies and dinner were held at MacDoel,s. The overall functions of the sorority are to stand by ready to assist all the BSTI activities along with improving conditions and assisting when needed. I 102 , ,V J E E E 3 E 9 EV?

The president, the vice-president, the chaplain, the stewardess and the adviser of Alpha Chapter ofliciated at the formal initiation of the 18 charter members of Gamma Chapter.

A busy agenda is planned for the quarter beginning September 11, 1950, starting with a formal tea and an informal rush party for new members. ' Although the organization is new and has not had many meetings or social events, the feeling of true sisterhood is felt by all the members. 103 HA NDE1 I bsfi cheerleaders BSTI CHEERLEADERS:-first row: Joanne Conway, Joanne Shreder, Beverly White, Anil Marie Bologneseg second row: Diane Yaw, Joyce Powell. ATTRACTIVELY costumed in red skirts and grey sweaters with letters in flame red, the six cheerleaders for the school year 1949-50 added much to Institute morale and student and faculty enjoyment of athletic and assem- bly gatherings. The cheerleaders who were advised by Miss Murtagh and Miss Heffron were outstanding at all times both for their grace and their poise. Ann Marie Bolognese, Joyce Powell, and Diane Yaw are juniors who will form the nucleus of the group for next year. The cheerleaders are chosen on a competitive basis. During the school year 1949-50 members of the Student Council made the selection of the present squad. The girls received their major letters at the final sports assembly in lNIay. The letters were assuredly deserved, since the cheer- leaders put in many hours in practice, in perfecting new cheers and new routines, and in leading cheers for all of the games in town, as well as out of town. Their work was particularly arduous during the basketball season, when the varsity team played 14 games. All entering junior girls who are interested in competing for the posi- tion of cheerleader for the coming year may get in touch with any one of the three returning cheerleaders, or Miss Murtagh in room 236. , 106 elf .- s J i VARSITY BASEBALL:first row: Robert Ezzo, Ray Lisiecki, Richard Kajtoch, Frank Marrano, Herb Wurstner, second row: Co-Manager William Wager, John Lachut, Paul Zimmerman, Robert Rouse, Coach Ollie Carnegie, John Szymanski, Roy Hansgen, Allan Schreiner, Co-Manager Gene Eusanio. varsity baseball THE BSTI baseball team was undefeated in inter-Institute competition during the 1950 season. The Flames played a total of eight games, some of them against the stiff competition of teams from four-year colleges and universities. Among these latter teams were the University of Buffalo, Buffalo State Teachers College, Can- isius College, and Niagara University. Out of a total of the eight games played, four games were Won, and four were lost, for a percentage of .500 at the end of theseason. The season was limited because of Wet grounds and because of lack of available playing fields. A Lettermen are Ezzo, Lisiecki, Kajtoch, Marrano, Wurstner, Lachut, Zimmer- man, Rouse, Szymanski, Hansgen, and Schreiner. Led by Captain Kajtoch, the Flames gave a fine exhibition of baseball throughout the season. John Szymanski received the most valuable player award at the Block Letter assembly in May. He was elected by his fellow players. ' Our thanks to Ollie Carnegie for a coaching job Well done. The team was capa- bly managed by Bill VVager and Gene Eusanio. 107 VARSITY BASKETBALL: first row: Captain, John Szymanskig second row: Coach Marty Kentner, Russ Todaro, Walt Maciag, Arthur Helfeldt, Assistant Manager John Zemang ihird row: Ted Steeg, Jack Byrne, Paul Runyan, Paul J.

The players were led by the versatile John Szymanski who had an average of 1Q.1 points per game. Individual honors went to Walter Maciag with a total of 171 points and an average of 12.2 points per game. The team reached its peak of performance when it defeated the Rochester School of Commerce, 91 to 64. High scorer in the game was Walt with 24 points, and second was Paul Cthe Hookj Runyan with Q3 points. The Flames were invited to the junior college basketball play-OHS at Binghamton, New York, where they lost in the first round to Cobleskill, 56 to 43. It was noted throughout the season that the spirit and drive of the fellows were always at a maximum whether they had a sizable lead, or were being walloped. This line display of sportsmanship can be attributed in part to the coaching of Mr. Marty Kentner. At a major letter assembly VValt Maciag received a portable radio for being selected the most valuable player. Our thanks to Managers John Zeman and Dick, Waterstrat for good work. 108 mn i- ! 3 3, Q f -1 4 .QM 'T'-' varsity Tennis THE tennis team for the 1950 season was made up of four seniors and three juniors who are as follows: Jack lllason, number one man, Paul Reese, number two man, Carl Metz- loff, number three man, Richard Hagmann, number four man, Ray Robertson, number five man, John Hynd, number six man, and Wfayne Kates, number seven man.

The Hrst oflices at 44-50 Terrace, were occupied up to a few years ago by Beals, McCarthy Sc Rogers. Pratt 8a Letchworth kept a store in the building until well toward the present century. During the 50 years of the present century, America has set an amaz- ing record of progress-but a moment in the history of civilization. A record unequalled by any other political or economic system, we are humbly proud of our small part. Merely by broad brush strokes, we can all visualize this progress. Remember the crystal set, the hand-cranked car, the biplaneP A far cry from our FM radio, television, hydro-matic drive and supersonic planes. And heres another phase of the progress that went hand-in-hand with these and the myriad of intertwined technological advances - ranging from the radio telephone and Bakelite to the X-ray tube and teletype . . . and to atomic energy and its untold potentialities. Since 1900 we have increased our supply of machine power 4y2 times. Since 1900 we have more than doubled the output each of uslpro- duces for every hour we work. Since 1900 we have increased our annual income from less than 32400 per household to about S4000 fini dollars of the same purchasing powerl, yet . . . - Since 1900 we have cut 18 hours from our average work week- equivalent to two present average workdays. How did we do it? The basic cause for this composite progress has been the release of human energy through FREEDOM, COMPETI- TION and OPPORTUNITY. And one of the most important results is the fact that more people are able to enjoy the products of this free energy than in any other system the world has ever known. PRATI' 8.
