ex umxs % . THE 1953 LANCE GANNON COLLEGE ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA W e entered Gannon in the unnaturally quiet days preceding the outbreak of the present hostilities. Our freshman ranks were iwolkn with ex-G. I.'s, veterans of World War II, who sought an opportunity to further their education and to find their place in the society of a nation at peace. We have seen develop, in these momentous four years, yet another threat to world peace and to the way of life we all desire. Our nation, once more, has been compelled to arm herself against foreign enemies. Despite the ever present realization that not all of us will be able to begin, after graduation, the normal courses of life envisioned four short years ago, we have enjoyed our college years. Many of our friends have left our class to join the expanding Armed Forces of the country. Many of us will enter the service immediately after graduation. Our lives, like our fathers' before us, have been lived in the shadow of military necessity. What the future holds in store for us and for our nation, we cannot know. We can only hope and pray that future graduates will be free from the blight of war. Although the burden many of us must take up seems heavy, we are thankful for the pleasures of our life at Gannon. Let us proceed now into this book of cherished memories ADMINISTRATION 10 CLASSES 18 CONTENTS ORGANIZATIONS 62 SOCIAL ACTIVITIES 78 SPORTS 86 ADVERTISING 102 I .

DEDICATION LONG with the coveted sheepskin and a trunkful of texts, we are leaving Gannon with many memories. They are fond memories of the friends that we have made, the pleasures of college life that we have tasted, and, above all, the deep impression that has been made upon all of us by one man. All of the members of the faculty of our alma mater who aided us towards the attainment of our goals, are our friends. Among these fine men and women, however, one stands out as especially deserving of our affection and respect. His wisdom and kindliness, born of a radiant spirituality, have reached out and touched each one per- sonally. In class, in our daily campus life, and in personal relationships his guidance and encouragement have eased over the rough spots and have made our stay at Gannon an experience we shall never forget. It is with profound gratitude for his example and Christian understanding that we, the graduating class of '5 3 dedicate this book to the Rev. James W. Peter our Professor and friend. SENIORS 4- ,P4j . rise-, vj 53 Rev. Norbert J. Wolf, since he became a member of the faculty in the summer of 1949, has been active in both the adminis- trative and professorial life of the college. Over and above his manifold duties as Dean of Men, he devoted a great deal of his time to the task of being advisor to the Student Council and to our class. He exert- ed a steadying influence on the legislators and, by the way, on us. We owe him an especial debt of gratitude for the invalu- able assistance he rendered us when we readied our Junior Prom. Fr. Wolf received his A.B. from St. Mary's University and gained his master's degree in Mediaeval History at the Catholic University. Left to right: Lloyd V.

CAGERS IN RECORD SEASON The Golden Knights climaxed the most suc- cessful season in Gannon cage history with a spectacular road tr;p. In the circuit, the Lancers gained victories over Akron U., Buffalo State, W. J., 'Western Reserve, and Fredonia during the last two weeks of the campaign. They lost to California S. T. C., in a close 5 8-59 contest, to spoil a perfect invasion of foreign courts. Playing against some of the best quintets in the East, the teams' biggest wins were registered against Colby, Buffalo, Rochester, Youngstown, and W. J. The Knights played six teams on a home and home basis and came out .500 or better with all but one. Only St. Bonaventure was able to capture two decisions over the Tulliomen. Alliance, Edinboro, and Fredonia succumbed twice while Youngstown and Akron split with the Lancers. Other losses came at the hands of Canisius, Allegheny, Maryland State, and Clarion. The Golden Boys proved to be just as effective on the road as they were on their home court. On the friendly Auditorium hardwood, they won nine and lost six. They captured eight out of twelve decisions on the road. 1 P. Snyder A. Middleton D.

His defensive wizardry made him doubly dangerous. Standing only 6-2, his timing ano terrific spring made him our top rebounder. Alex Chrobak Gramps Al's smooth brand of ball payed off many times in close games. A zone defense was his meat; his set shots made many an opponent's defense fall apart. He was co-captain the past two campaigns. Al was named Athlete of the Year in 1952. George Hesch Ace Flashy passes and accurate set shots are synonymous with George. An all-around player, Ace's most spectacular bit of court mastery is his driving lay-up shot. Only a Sophomore, George will see to it that Gannon's win column is well padded in the next two years. Richard De Carlo Deke Gannon's most prolific scorer. Holder of the school scoring record in his Freshman year, Deke came back and broke it again in this, his Sophomore year. The past season he scored 413 points and averaged 18 points a game. Edward Williams Ted Ted's soft hook shot got the Gannon team out of trouble many times. His height under the boards was a valuable asset to the team. He is also an excellent defensive man, he guarded many an opponent like Fort Knox. Walter Bedich Ton The Freshman sensation, Walt played like an old pro all the way. He was the main offen- sive sparkplug at the beginning of the season. Ton plays an alert, rough brand of ball. He ended up the season in third spot in the scoring derby.  • Dwight Timmons Dutch? Dutch, according to cage language, is classified as a dead shot. His one hand push shot was .i potent wc.ipon .it close range. Hitting from the sides, he helped engineer the Buffalo U. upset by coming off the bench to tally 22 points. Robert Finnccy Although he did not score often, Fin set up many scores with his ball handling and all- around floor play. He was one of our better defensive men. Paul Snyder Pablo A graduate from the Gannon Intramural League, Paul's left handed hook, combined with his speed and sharp passing, made him a valuable piece of real estate. o . to r .: G. Heinz, E. Vetterling, A. Chro- bak, A. Icsimki, E. Vftkh. Featuring an all-underclassman team, the golfers of Gannon breezed through a very suc- cessful sc.ison during the Spring of '5 2. With the addition of a Freshman sensation in the person i Id Walsh, of Sharon, Pa., they should wax hotter this season. Ed Westerling, former Erie East swinger, as number one man, and Alex Chrobak in the second slot, give our team the most potent one-tWO punch in the N.W. Pa. district. Art Jesinski, George Heinz, and Gene Kawana can al- ways be counted on to break even or to out-point their opponents. GANNON BOWLING LEAGUE OFFICERS: G. Popp, Pres.; Rev. C. Lubiak, Vice-Pres.; D. Grieshober, Sec. The Gannon Bowling League has become the school's most popular intra-mural sport. The league boasts eight five man teams. The winning team is honored at the annual bowling ban- quet. The season is highlighted by the Intercollegiate Bowling Tournament. In the past three years, Gannon bowlers have taken tournament honors with two first place trophies and one sec- ond place trophy.

SENIORS - SOPHS SHARE TROPHY Spirit, never quite so apparent at Gannon, was generated by the re-appearance of Snorts Night after a two year rest period. Though many aching knees, elbows, and assorted muscles resulted, a good time was had by all. The present Senior Class, mythical champs because of a Sports Night victory in their Fresh- man year, found the Sophomores not too impressed by the apparent athletic ability of their el- ders. The young lads staged a last ditch surge in the final event — the eight lap relay — to take first place while the Seniors had to be content with a third. The Freshmen took on the spoiler's role. Though deficient in their point total, their relay team came from far behind to edge the Seniors for second place and dropped them into a tie for first place with the Sophomores. Although strictly for amateurs, there were a few slightly terrific performances. Sopho- more, Len Cyterski, found time at the quarter of the Senior- Junior basketball game to take a first place in the standing-broad jump with a leap of 9' 6 and also edged the field in the 25 yard dash. Then Dutch Timmons, an aging Senior, put the shot 43'3 . Another tired Senior, Art Middleton, surprised the crowd by having little difficulty in clearing the high jump bar at 5'6 and because all were eliminated, retired for another long period of lethargy. It was strictly a two class rivalry. The Freshmen taking a first place in volleyball, faltered in the individual events. Though responsible for dirupting Senior victory plans, they took a dis- tant third place. The Juniors also ran. s p o R T S N A P S r -j At  ANNON ADVERTISERS PATRONS WE WISH TO EXTEND OUR SINCERE THANKS TO ALL THOSE FRIENDS, PATRONS, AND ADVERTISERS WHO SO GRACIOUSLY CONTRIBUTED FINANCIALLY TO THE SUC- CESS OF THE 5 3 LANCE.
