The Class of 1952 pub- lished a memory book under the title of the LANCE, but it cannot be compared to the larger size editions of the last four years. John McCarty and Paul Snyder were the co-editiors of the 1953 LANCE, the first yearbook in the history of the college. Familar campus personalities as- sociated with the book are J. Carter Rowland and Maurice Shoup, who served as advisors and are now on the Gannon faculty. The 1954 LANCE introduced color to the book, along with many other features which have become a permanent part of the LANCE. This edition was edited by R. Ray Ward. The third edition of the LANCE was the responsibility of Daniel J. Barren, who guided his staff in turning out one of Gannon's outstanding yearbooks. More recently it the 1956 LANCE, published by last year's graduating class. James Considine, currently in pre-medical school at Seton Hall, was .editor of this book. The efforts of Considine and his colleagues are well remembered and ap- preciated by many of the people still on the Gannon Campus. This Fifth Anniversary Edition of the LANCE has attempted to bring a new and different presentation to the pages of Gannon's yearbook. It includes a more com- plete coverage of the activities- of the college than ever before contained within the pages of the year book. However, as you have no doubt noticed, the cover design on this year's LANCE is similar to that of 1956. It was the intent of the editors to establish a precedent and attempt to adopt this design as the official and permanent cover for the LANCE. There are many problems in the publishing of a yearbook. We have solved many of them and found a few to be insurmountable. We can only hope that the experience and knowledge gathered this year can be of some help in making the job easier for future publications. We hope you enjoy reading this edition of the LANCE and that yo u will show it to your friends as a representative picture of Gannon College. jtallcafttm The 1957 edition of THE LANCE is dedicated to His Excellency. The Most Reverend John Mark Gannon, D.D., D.C.L., L.L. D. Archbishop — Bishop of Erie. It was his courage and great vision that brought about the founding of Gannon College in 1944, and his unswerving interest in the school and its students that has contributed greatly to the. development of this college. The founding of any institution of higher learning is a Herculean task, but the scope and complexity of Gannon College made it a deed that many termed impos- sible. Gannon College was founded as the only Catholic men's school in the city, originally starting with meager facilities and resources. The situation was made more difficut as World War II broke out, all but emptying the halls of Gannon. The school managed to remain in existence throughout these turbulent years. They were difficult years . . . heartbreaking years. The men of the college left the placid atmosphere of their classes to engage in the deadly serious business of war. Many of them never returned. Weaker men, men with less foresight and convictions, would have accepted this as defeat and closed the doors of Gannon forever. But, this was not to be the fate of Gannon College. Thanks to Bishop Gannon, the college remained open during the war, nurturing its wonderful gift of education until such a time as the men of Erie could again take advantage of it. The ensuing years proved to be the period of greatest expansion in the short history of the college. New and imposing buildings sprang up on the Perry Square horizon, giving concrete rebuttal to the doubter and critic, emphatically proving that Gannon College had become a vital and permanent part of the educational system of the area. It is a phenomenal and almost fantastic achievement in the annals of education- al pioneering, but the job was done and done well. The Gannon Class of 1957 can think of no man more deserving of this dedica- tion. To Archbishop John Mark Gannon we extend our sincere appreciation for the opportunity of a higher education. -' - 1 r A birthday SaMt m Ifis lExttUtnm On June twelfth of this year Archhishop Gannon will celebrate his eightieth birthday. At this time the city will honor its most outstanding octogenarian. Born in Erie, the son of Thomas and Julia Gannon. John Mark Gannon was the seventh child of a family of nine. He was reared in the warm and loving atmosphere of a modest Catholic family which then resided on West 11th Street in Erie. After his graduation from Central High School, the young man worked in the office of the Erie City Iron Works, an experience which no doubt helped to develop his familiarity with the problems of the working man. He also was tutored in Latin in preparation for the priesthood. He enrolled at St. Bonaventure College and there formed friendships with other men who have since become some of his closest acquaintances. The young Gannon was ordained on December 21, 1901, and began furthering his studies, this time at Catholic University, in preparation of the high place in the Church which his contemporaries and teachers knew he would some day assume. After assisting at various diocesan parishes for a short time. Father Gannon, in 1904, sailed to Europe where he continued his studies at the University of Munich and the Appolinare University of Rome where he earned a doctorate in Canon Law and Sacred Theology. The young Doctor of the Church received an appointment to hi s first parish in 1907, when he was assigned to Cambridge Springs as a resident pastor. This began his fantastic career in the Erie diocese during which he has performed feats which by many were thought impossible. Upon the death of Bishop Fitzmaurice in 1920, John Mark Gannon was in- stalled as Bishop of Erie. His first major accomplishment was the erection of the million dollar St. Joseph's Home four years later. From that time on, Bishop Gannon has successfully completed many projects which until this time were not believed possible for any one man. In the majority of the cases, he has taken the welfare of the young people into consideration above all else. It was only a little more than a decade ago that he founded Gannon College, an institution which through his guidance has grown in tremendous proportions. It has been a full life for Bishop Gannon. It has been a life which many men with combined efforts could not duplicate. Still, he is not finished. He is con- stantly striving to better the conditions of his diocese and will not rest until he has done everything in his power to meet this end. This truly is an indication of his en- viable and admirable character. -JJL- . i r j ADMINISTRATION BOARD OF TRUSTEES The Board of Trustees is the legal governing body of the college. Its mem- bers are clergymen of the Diocese of Erie who are chosen in accordance with provisions of the college Charter. The Bishop and Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese serve as Chairman and Secretary of the Board respectively. The Board is possessor of more authority than any group in the college ad- ministrative make-up. It is the body that appoints the college President. It can also approve any amendments to the statutes of the college, the annual budget and all legal acts of the college. The Board elects men to its Executive Committee which exercises the oower of the Board itself between Board meetings. Three members are elected to serve on the Committee along with the Bishop and Auxiliary Bishop and President of the college. Members of Board are, Seated: Auxiliary Bishop Edward P. McManaman ; Archbishop John Mark Gannon, Chairman of the Board: Monsignor Wladislaus J. Stanczak. Standing: Rt. Rev. C. Raymond McQiiillen, Rt. Rev. William L. Sullivan, Rev. Wilfrid J. Nash, President of Gannon College. LAY ADVISORY BOARD The college Lay Advisory Board, created in October of 1956 by Archbishop John Mark Gannon, is composed of industrial and professional men of Northwestern Pennsylvania who have been selected for their personal prestige in the community, their recognized integrity of character, their ability in business and financial matters and their interest in Gannon College and its work. The Board is instrumental in providing special contacts between the College and the community so that both may obtain mutual benefits. It also suggests ways and means for the sound growth of the school, a vital function in the current plans for expansion. Seated, Left to Right: J. LeGrand Skinner. John W. English.

ENGINEERING COUNCIL The Advisory Council of the School of Engineering was established when it appeared evident that the increasing importance of the technical sciences in the national economy was affecting the enrollment in those fields at Gannon College. The Council assists the College in meeting the needs of the community for technical education facilities hy providing advice, counsel and reco mmendations. The Council may also take action which it deems necessary for the welfare of the school, community or profession. In effect, the Advisory Council prepares the Gannon man in such a manner so that he may be of maximum benefit to the development of the Erie area. Shown above are members of the Engineering Board as they look over some recent developments in the school of engineering. Seated, Left to Right: Dean Gerald Kraus, Chairman M. J. Kolhoff.

President of Gannon College The 1957 LANCE is indeed proud to have the honor of being the first annual in the history of the college to recognize the Reverend Wilfrid J. Nash as President of Gannon College. Fr. Nash, Gannon's second president, assumed his new office in the Spring of 1956 upon the retirement of the Reverend Joseph J. Wehrle. He had previously served in various administrative capacities, including Dean of the College. A man of great warmth and understanding. Fr. Nash has been a prominent force in the development of the college during his presidency. In addition to being an educator and adminstrator, he maintains his deep interest in all phases of student activities. As a man of God, Fr. Nash has instilled a part of his great spiritual and religious heritage in the college. Congratulations and the sincere wish for success in God in the years to come.

VI THE FACULTY The Gannon College faculty now numbers approximately 100 men and women, each of them dedicated to giving the men of Gannon the finest edu- cation possible. A heterogeneous group, the Cannon faculty includes people with varied backgrounds, interests, techniques and mannerisms. They are interesting people . . . the kind you enjoy talking with over a cup of coffee or working with in extracurricular activities. All of them recognize their responsibility to the growth of the school and intellectual development of its students. They are constantly engaged in the business of increasing and enriching their knowledge. Perhaps they become discouraged at times. Discouiaged with the stu- dents and their own state in life. It may seem to be a thankless profession — one that involves great giving on their part with little or no reward. The students appreciate the efforts of their teachers and will reflect up- on them even more in the years to come. It is best summed up by the quotation, Teaching is the closest thing to immortality a man can reach. BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION The school of Business Administration is headed by Dr. John A. Waldron. Dean Waldron is responsible for the maintenance of academic standards and curriculm in the business department. The school trains concentrators in business adminis- tration, finance, accounting and industrial management. The ethical and humanitarian role of business in society is also emphasized. Dr. John A. Waldron Dean Louise Beverly James Hanes Albert Heinlein Michael Kavanaush Mark Plivelic Peter Smaltz John Susko Francis Weithman Ernest Wright Mii-hael Yarhenet HUMANITIES Rev. Louis Lorei The general objective or aim of the Division of Humanities is not to train the student in only one specific line but to prepare the student for a life which has breadth of interest and depth of knowledge. The head of this division of the college is the Rev. Louis Lorei. The Division of Humanities attempts to maintain the liberal tradition in a Christian education. Rev. Joseph Barr Richard Beyer Rev.

The original building of the school was Old Main, a beautiful mansion constructed with the finest woods and materials, many of them imported from Europe. The Library was the first construction project in the colleges history. This modern and striking edifice is connected to Old Main. Gannon Auditorium, completed in 1949. fulfilled a long time need of the college and community for a fully equipped auditorium large enough to accomodate important functions. The Auditorium also serves as the basketball court for the Gannon cagers. Opened in 1953. the Engineering Building is one of the most modern constructions of comparable size in the area. Its striking facade faces West 7th Street. The building is completely furnished and equipped with the latest in fixtures and furniture. The Mechanical Engineering Laboratory, referred to as the Annex , contains classroom and laboratories. It is directly across the street from the Engineering Building. Formerly a part of the splendid layout of the Old Main man- sion, the Downey Hall of Science now serves as biology and chem- istry laboratories. The ROTC Building, located on the corner of Sixth and Sas- safras Sts.. houses the installations equipment and personnel. There are also housing facilities for the faculty. Suttelle Hall and Faculty Residence, both within minutes walking distance from the center of campus. The expansion of the college is a continual process, with en- tirely new constructions or the purchase of suitable property being conducted every year. For the latest developments in the expansion of Gannon College, see the following two pages for the New Look on the campus sky- line. A| A I til WEHRLE HALL Wehrle Hall. Gannon's first men's dormitory, will be com- pleted by August of this year. The new construction, a new con- cept in architecture , will com- fortably house nearly 300 men. Archbishop John Mark Gannon is shown at left as he broke ground for the new dormitory. 1 ! A ar VtM2.Lt UALL— . Of uv_cau, so c«i ( wr, 1 yC .t.umn â– i tUMAA â– ..■«-..-. Located on the corner of Sixth and Sassafras Sts.. Wehrle Hall is L shaped and constructed of aluminum and brick. Glass and colored building materials are being used to emphasize its modern appearance. STUDENT CENTER The Student Union Center, situated on the corner of Sixth and Walnut Streets, was formally opened to the Student body in March. Formerly a private residence, the Student Union Center can accomodate all the organizational meetings and activities which are held on campus. The interior of the impressive looking building is richly de- corated with hand carved woods and tapestries. It has been re- furnished with comfortable lounge furniture for greater comfort and practicability. There is seldom a night during the week that the lights are not burning brightly in all rooms. Officials estimate that several hundred students per week take advantage of the Student Center. The pictures at right illustrate the impressive interior and furnishings of Gannon's latest addition. Rftffl SENIORS THE CLASS OF 1957 OFFICERS O Robert Vilchinsky President Richard Dunford Douglas Kingston Robert Marsh Vice-President Secretary Treasurer COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVES II James Rrzezinski William Garvey John Rimp The men of the Class of 1957 will realize their goal on June second when thev are graduated from Gannon College. At that lime their college (lavs will end. For many it will mean the end of four of the most memorahle years in their lives . . . years of hard work combined with the fellowship of good friends and a sense of belonging to a group that had a meaning and a purpose. They'll remember their first day at Gannon College, a day of new experi- ences and people. They were tossed in with 200 other men. most of whom they had never seen before. But. the following days and years led to the formation of friendships that meant much during these college years and will continue to exist through- out the rest of their years. The men of '57 have left their impression on the school. A record of significant and lasting contribution to their Alma Mater is their legacy. It is one in which they can feel immense pride. The class that was famous for it's best yet slogan will leave Gannon as . . . the best yet. CLASS ADVISOR Rev. John Bicsey. Senior Class Advisor, is a relatively new face on the Gannon campus. His warmth of personality and fine sense of humor overcame this newness early in his association with the Class of 1957, as he worked throughout the year with the Class. To Fr. Bicsey. the Class of 1957 offers sincere thanks for a job well done. MICHAEL ANTHONY ANNUNZIATA Erie, Pennsylvania B.S.— Electrical Engineering A.I.E.E., Treasurer; Radio Club; Sigma Phi Epsilon. Mike found a home in the Engineering Building during his four years at Gannon. Despite the grind of the Science curriculum, he still found time to delight the hearts of many Erie lasses- Mike's perseverance and hard work helped to push Gannon's Christmas Carnival over the top. After two years with Uncle Sam, Mike will make a million as an Engineer and raise a brood of little An- nunziata's to enrich Gannon's coffers. RENZO JOSEPH ARMANINI Erie, Pennsylvania Management Club B.S. — Business Administration Gannon's answer to Elvis Presley, Joe combined the abilities of playing the banjo, mandolin, violin, and guitar with that of the tonsorial art. Joe pyramided his meager resources into enough cash to get married, through his interest in the stock market. But the ulcerous job of watching his portfolio was too much, so Joe decided to take a job at the Hammermill, where he will continue after graduation. JOHN CARMEN AZZATORI New Brunswick, New Jersey B.S. — History N.F.C.C.S.; Sociology Club; IM Sports; Softball Commissioner; I. R. C; O.M.K. The women of Erie cried when John left in February to do some special work at Seton Hall, but he left many pictures of himself around to brighten up the cold winter nights. But the echo of his New Jersey accent lingers still in the halls of Old Main. John professes a deep interest in people, and this will aid him, no doubt, in his chosen profession, teaching. JOHN GEORGE BARWIN Johnsonburg, Pennsylvania B.A. — Political Science Tau Kappa Epsilon; I. C. G.. Historian, Secretary: N.F.C.C.S. : O.M.K. Joe Luckey claimed Jack's spare hours for the dispatching of stray cigarette butts, until the desperate cries of the Boys' Club boys aroused his sympathies and he gave up the broom for the life guard jacket. Tau Kappa Epsilon and I.C.G. claimed what little time he had left. When his tour of duty in the army is completed. Jack will enter the teaching profession. GERALD JAMES BOVA Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. — Finance Tan Kappa Epsilon, Treasurer: S. 1. T.. Vice-President; Management Club; N.F.C.C.S. As a finance major, it is logical that Gerry's activities are centered in money matters. Mutual Building Loan will never be the same when Gerry closes his Teller's cage and enters the field of business. Teke also benefited from his knowledge of the manipulation of the long green. Although he is a strong advocate of promptness, we imagine that Gerry will be late for his own wedding, which will occur soon. RODNEY NEAL BRANDON Erie, Pennsylvania B.A. — Political Science Spanish Club, Treasurer While a member of the United States Marine Corps. Rod acquired an interest in photography and travel. Since he aided his college finances by working at the Erie Insurance Exchange, it enabled him to procure a NEW car, and what could be easier than arrang- ing insurance. After graduation Rod plans on going on to law school. WILLIAM GEORGE BRIGHTON Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. — Electrical Engineering Rifle Team; Tennis Team; Chess Club, Delta Sigma Phi; IM Sports Big Bill was a mainstay of both the rifle and tennis teams. His interest in these activities enabled him to cut more Friday after- noon drill sessions than any other man in the school. No slouch. Bill copped the American Legion Marksmanship award four times. He also dabbles in piano playing and will become an engineer after his tour of duty in the Army. JAMES MARTIN BRZEZINSKI Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. — Accounting Student Council, Vice-President; Who's Who. 1956-57; O.M.K.; 1957 LANCE. Shag or Breeze or Cactus or whatever you want to call him. was one of the last of the diehard rabble rousers. His favorite activity was making large wagers on the length of time he could go without having a nicotine fit. and would always end the sentence by bumming a cigarette. Jim plans on a career in Industrial Mana- gement or Accounting after his stint with Uncle Sam. Participated in the Blitz campaigns of 1956-57. RICHARD ALLEN BUZZA Erie, Pennsylvania Management Club B.S. — Accounting A veteran of the U.S. Navy. Dick entered Gannon and found a home among the exclusive set of eterans on campus. Racking up a respectable point average earned him a slot on the awesome Dean's List. Dick is married, but he still found time to take an active interest in the Management Club. He plans a career in corporate accounting after graduation. WILLIAM JOHN CAREY Erie, Pennsylvania Sophomore Class Secretary; Chess Club; Tennis; IM Sports; Delta Sigma Phi Sci B.A. — Chemistry Club; O.M.K; Varsity Bill was the hotshot of the tennis team at Gannon and could be found knocking a tennis ball against the Audi wall any month of the year. This continued practice earned him four letters in tennis. He will be remembered for his winning smile and pleasant manner. Bill will serve as a second lieutenant for two years and then go on to graduate school. SHEARON THOMAS CARROLL Bradford, Pennsylvania B.A. — English Freshman Class President; Tau Kappa Epsilon, Chaplain; Lambda Iota Tau. Vice-President; Drama Club, Secretary; Freshman Hall President Broadway's and Hollywood's loss was Gannon's gain when Shearon rolled on to campus in 1953 and became recognized as one of the biggest men on campus. Called the King of Freshman Hall, he whipped the freshman class into shape in their first year together. Although employed as publicist at one of the local dailies. Shearon still found time to devote his untiring efforts to a number of campus groups. He intends to teach English to the youth of America after graduation. RICHARD LEWIS CASSIDY Erie. Pennsylvania B.S. — Business S.I.T.; Management Club The Air Force claimed this man for a number of years, and then he came to Gannon to do some work in the Business curriculum. During his lour years, he was active in the Student Investment Trust and the Management Club, hoping that these organizations would give him some experience in his chosen field, advertising. The Boston Store. Ruberoid. and Modzy's Cafe occupied his time as far as work was concerned and the general business of school took up what he had left. FRANK MICHAEL CONNELL Edinboro, Pennsylvania B.S.— -Industrial Management Sports seemed to hold most of Frank's attention as far as extra- curricular activity was concerned. However, he tempered his athletic interests with a like for drawing. Finances were aided by construction work and various other industrial jobs. After Frank does away with his obligation to Uncle Sam, he intends to enter industry. m THOMAS CROTTY Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. — Business S.I.T., Management Club One of the more energetic of the business majors, Tom was an avid fan of Mr. Smaltz. When not plugging away at the books, he could be found wherever there was action — at the Friday night dances, the Villa or the Hurst. He got around quite a bit. The S.I.T. also was benefited by his knowledge of the market. MICHAEL A. CUSICK Sharon. Pennsylvania B.A. — Philosophy Student Council, Secretary; S.A.A.; Golf Team, Captain; IM Sports; Who's Who, 1955-56. The Ivy Man of Gannon. Mike was a member of the Ripcords who captured the IM basketball crown for three years. Sports are his hobby, with a strong preference for the Yanks. Mike put in his time at the Erie Insurance Exchange and Bearings, Inc. during his four years at Gannon. Law school is in his immediate future if he can hide from Uncle Sam long enough. EDWARD FREDERICK CUDUCIO Harborcreek, Pennsylvania B.S. — Accounting Ed's professed hobby is, studying word meanings and definitions and related ramifications of philosohy. This is quite a feat for an accountant. Like most students, Ed dislikes any form of advice. He does, however, like music, art and travel. His like for travel will be satisfied as he plans on entering the service immediately after graduation. r JOHN HENRY CUNNINGHAM North East. Pennsylvania B.S. — Business Administration Another of the veterans on campus. John was a mixologist which could prove quite interesting as an outside activity. He held some less glamorous jobs while in school, such as a meat clerk, construc- tion worker, and laborer. John attended Kent State two years before he decided to give the Air Force a flier. He hopes to settle with some local company after graduation this June. FRANK FRANCIS DAVIS Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. — Business Administration Management Club; N. F. C.C. S.; Sociology Club ; S. I. T. Frank dislikes people asking stupid questions. He also likes girls. Both of these are pretty reasonable. Apparently, he likes diversi- fication in his extracurricular activities. Frank has a sense of humor that is comparable to that of a character from Damon Runyan. He's quite the boy. A good job is his goal after sweating for Uncle Sam for a few years. MARK JOSEPH DE HARDE Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. — Industrial Management Mark didn't do too much in the way of activities here at Gannon, but he got married and managed to earn quite a bit of money as an engineer in training. After graduation he plans on taking the registration examination for the state of Pennsylvania. Mark in- tends to open his own office or to get a job in industry after his obligation to the U.S.A. is fulfilled. JAMES ANTHONY DEL MARAMO Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. — Business Administration O.M.K. ; I.M Sports; Spanish Club; 1957 LANCE. Subscription Manager. Zig was the most energetic character on the Gannon campus. His zeal and ability for hard work made him a reliable man on any job. The little captain of C Company shaped his troops into a hard hitting bunch of cadets who copped honor company several times. The Calabrese Club and Connie were his avocations when not applying himself at his vocation, office manager of the Keystone Auto Parts. Zig will do well in whatever the future holds. He once half-blitzed. JOSEPH JOHN DI CORPO Erie. Pennsylvania B.A. — English GANNON KNIGHT, Sports Editor; I.( :. ;.: I.R.C.; N.F.C.CS. Joe started his college career at Gannon when the college was much younger, and after fulfilling an army sojourn, returned to finish his work in English. Joe is married and usually spent long hours working the night shift in order to finance both a family and school. The result of this was a set of droopy eyelids and a Bachelor's degree. Joe is partial to chess and pinochle for relaxation, and plans to enter the teaching profession or public relations work after he graduates. B.A. — Chemistry JOHN WILLIAM DI LUZIO Erie, Pennsylvania N.F.C.CS.: Variety Show; IM Sports. Science was a natural for John here at Gannon, but he dabbled in the arts too. Piano music emanating from the rehearsal halls of the Variety show probably came from this man's nimble fingers. The chem lab may not have had sweet music, but any product of those hallowed halls probably came from the same nimble ten. John plans on attending Grad School after leaving Gannon, and also to catch up on his hobbies, art and reading. WILLIAM JAMES DUGAN Erie, Pennsylvania Sociology Club BA. — Sociology St. Bonaventure claimed the early part of Bill's education, but he returned to the home town to finish up his sociological work. An army man, Bill is married, but has not given up his interest in hunting, which he claims as a special interest. Maybe his army training is not completely washed out. Whatever he chooses to do with his sociology degree, he will probably do well. RICHARD JAMES DUNFORD Wesleyville, Pennsylvania B.A.— History O.F.T. IM Delta Sigma Phi. Vice-President; Who's Who, '56-'57; O.M.K Sports; Senior Class, Vice-President. A Dean's List man. Dick spent long hours poring over the books to achieve the goal of every college man. an average to be proud of. Despite the academic chores. Dick found time to be active in fra- ternity and other extracurric activities. The R.O.T.C. claimed a good deal of his time, but it will be used to good advantage when Dick joins the other Second Army men to spend his time. JACK RICHARD FOHT Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. — Business Rifle Team, Treasurer, Vice-President, Captain; Varsity Tennis; IM Sports; O.F.T.; O.M.K.; Chess Club; S.A.A. There was nothing Jack liked better during his four years at Gannon than making noise. It could be on the rifle range, in the class room, or on the tennis court, but there had to be noise. Here is a man who really has his life well planned. After he does his tour of duty, he plans on absolutely nothing. GERALD FRANCO Brockway, Pennsylvania B.S. — Finance S.I.T. Secretary and President; Management Club, Secretary; Spanish Club, Treasurer; Tau Kappa Epsilon; IM Sports Spending the first two years of his college career at Penn State, Jerry ventured on to the Gannon scene and immediately became established as one of the more active of his class. An important factor in the function of many campus organizations and possessor of a way with women, Jerry is certain to be a success in any pro- fession he may select. WILLIAM MARTIN FRIES Erie, Pennsylvania B.S.— Engineering A.I.E.E. Bill divided his time between day and night school in order to graduate in double time. While spending all this time in class, he still managed to hold down jobs as a draftsman and a salesman and enter into the workings of the A.I.E.E. Bill is still a civilian, but we imagine that the good old Uncle will have something to say about that before long. That will still leave plenty of time for a long career in Engineering. GEORGES ROBERT GARINTHER Montreal, Canada O.M.K.; Rifle Team; IM Sports; A.I.E.E. B.S. — Electrical Engineering From the land of V.O. and the Royal Mounties comes Monsieur Garinther, clear to Gannon to pursue his chosen field of Electrical Engineering. It may have been a long trip, but we hope that Georges found it worth his while to spend these years in Erie at the concrete campus. Since he is a Canadian, he is a non-vet but nevertheless is one of our ROTC boys. At any rate, a career in Electrical Engineering seems to be in the cards for Mr. Garinther. DONALD MARTIN GARRISON Meadville, Pennsylvania R.S. — Business Administration S.I.T. Belonging to the S.I.T. and being an amateur magician may have something in common for Don. It seems like an easy way to make stocks go up and down. This business major hopes to continue in industrial sales or advertising after graduation. A Navy vet, Don will have nothing to deter him from immediate success. Also, being a family man, he will have added incentive for success. WILLIAM PAUL GARVEY Oil City, Pennsylvania B.A. — History Delta Siftma Phi; Student Council; CANNON KNIGHT, editor-in-chief. LANCE, sports editor; Who's Who, 1955-56, 1956-57; Freshman Hall, Secre- tary; Christmas Carnival, Chairman. One of the busiest men of campus, Bill gave the G-K class while arguing with fellow councilmen, writing sports for the LSV - R, coaching the kids at St. John's and pursuing his hobby, which is history. Sports holds down the number two slot in special interests. Peanuts plans on further studies at Notre Dame, and then, with his interest in kids intends to teach in elementary or junior high school. Success looms brightly in the future of this ball of fire. Bill also protects poor devils and is a gourmet. JAMES ANTHONY GIGLIOTTI Erie, Pennsylvania B.A. — Biology Science Club, Vice-President There isn't much science connected with horses and horse shows, but this happens to be Jim's hobby. Medicine is in the man's future, as he hopes to continue his studies at a university specializ- ing in veterinary science. Jim will probably join the ranks of the enlisted men before very long. THOMAS PATRICK GILES Erie, Pennsylvania Science Club; O.M.K. B.A. — Chemistry Tom and his wife operated a store of their own before a blessed event forced them to liquidate their holdings. Tom is pretty proud of his new son, and rightly so. He is a graduate of the G.E. apprentice course and attended John Carroll for a while. His hobby is golf, much to the dismay of his wife. After two years as a second John, Tom will make chemistry his career. - - JAMES LINCOLN GILLILAND JR. Oil City, Pensylvania B.S. — Business IM Sports; S.A.A.; Delta Sigma Phi. From the medical corps to business administration is quite a jump, but Jim managed to do it. And quite successfully too, since he is one of the elite Dean's List members. IM sports held Jim's main interest during his Gannon days, as he played softball with the Oilers and was athletics coach with the Shield. The Pennsylvania Gas Company offered some extra financial aid needed to support a family, since vets sometimes have quite a time making ends meet, even with Sam's aid. Jim is contemplating grad school and a business career. FRANK RALPH GOLINO Erie, Pennsylvania I.C.G. ; I.R.C.; Demosthenes Society. B.A. — Political Science Frank found a home in the Debate Club, for here is a man who will argue at the drop of a hat about everything and anything. A political science career will not be out of his scope if he can find someone to talk to. Frank spent his spare time as a draftsman for Danielson and also at the G.E., for which he is well prepared since he is an alum of Case. The continuation of his political science studies is in this Gannonites future. THEODORE CLARENCE GOODENOW Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. — Electrical Engineering Marriage and working at the G.E. didn't leave much time for Ted to partake in much of the extracurricular life of the campus. A navy vet, he also put some of his service knowledge to use by re- pairing T.V. sets in his spare time. We can't imagine him having too much of that. The practical experience he gained will aid him in his engineering career. ROBERT PHILLIP GUELCHER Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. — Personnel Management The Air Force was home for this really big man before he came to Gannon to spend a few year. Extracurric suffered because he spent his spare time working as an IBM operator at the Curtze Company, and also coached St. Joe's team in the grade school loop- The IM sports scene saw some of his action on the court, and he claims sports as his hobby. After graduation he plans on either the G.E. management training program or work towards a master's degree. JOHN RICHARD GUTHRIE Punsxutawney, Pennsylvania R.A. — History Spanish Club; IM Sports. Here we have a member of the Fraternal Order of Groundhog Watchers, which is Punxy's claim to fame. John didn't spend all his time watching for the prognosticator of the weather, though, since he is an Army vet and that took at least two good years from his life. During his Gannon years he drove a truck for Klick fur- niture and punched presses at the G.E. However as an history major, he will probably turn to the education of youth for the good of America. RAYMOND KENNETH HAAS Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. — Business Administration Sigma Phi Epsilon; S.I.T. Business is his field and business is his spare time occupation, as Ken worked at being a bookkeeper for Roth Motors and the G.E. A minor in Accounting and membership in the S.I.T. aided his practical knowledge and provided experience for his future plans which will be either Industrial Accounting or Business Administra- tion. Ken is an Air Force veteran. HARRY JOHN HARABEDIAN Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. — Electrical Engineering Harry was so busy in the Engineering labs that he found little time for any extra activity as far as clubs and organizations were con- cerned. He is married and a veteran of the Artillery corps. A successful career in Engineering is this man's desire and he should achieve it. DANIEL ARTHUR HATTON Erie, Pennsylvania B.A.— Psychology A Western Reserve alum, Dan's interests are in the field of clinical psychology. Despite the toughness of the psychology curriculum, he managed to gain a slot on the Dean's list, not a mean feat. The American Meter Co. dispensary was the scene of his after class part-time work, and he plans on grad school to complete his knowl- edge in the art of clinical work. A non-vet, Dan will probably have to fulfill his obligation before continuing in his chosen profession. JOHN LAWRENCE HEIBEL Annapolis, Maryland B.A. — Biology Tau Kappa Epsilon; Science Club. Treasurer; S.A.A.; Who's Who, 1955-56; IM Sports Having a father who is in the Navy necessarily means not staying in one place for any great number of years. This was the case in Jocko's life. Hawaii, California, Idaho and Maryland are just a few of the places he has called home. Also the Antlers. John was a rabid member of the Science Club and faithfully attended their annual picnic. John and Mary Ellen White surprised evervone by tying the knot last summer. Career plans call for biological re- search. JOHN CHRISTIAN HOBECK Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. — Business Administration Spanish Club; IM Sports; Management Club Joe started his career at Gannon in 1949, but a hitch with the Marines postponed his graduation. He boasts of being a life mem- ber of the Alumni Association, which is one of the many associa- tions he carries an I.D. card for. Joe's part time positions fit into his business courses, as he has worked at the Resistor and local banks. Sports, especially bowling, occupy his time. His future is business. ROBERT FREDERICK HOFFMAN Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. — Business Administration GANNON KNIGHT; 1957 LANCE, Advertising Manager: O.M.K. This year's commander of Gannon's prize winning Drill Team found time to practice his selling art for the LANCE. Bob was also a cub reporter for the G - K, but went down in a blaze of glory for the ROTC. He is also involved quite seriously with a St. Vincents nurse and will no doubt be married this summer. His future calls for a regular army commission and then engineering sales. WILLIAM ANTHONY HOH Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. — Accounting Trying to learn the fine art of accounting takes up much time in a college man's life, but Bill gave it enough to earn him a slot on the Dean's List. After graduation he will hang up the tools of his current work, insurance investigating, and go into accounting. Sports and music are his hobbies while Fords hold special attraction. THOMAS ANDREW HOKE Meadville, Pennsylvania B.S. — Finance Management Club; O.M.K.; IM Sports; s. A .: Delta Sigma Phi, Secretary The little man of the Sigs was a terror on the basketball court. In fact, Tom was usually around when any type f sport was men- tioned, be it athletic or the indoor variety. When he wasn't throw- ing his weight around on the sports' field, he joined in on the hot sessions of the Management Club and various other campus organi- zations. Tom plans a career in finance after a tour of duty in the Army's Medical Service Corps is completed. JAMES JOSEPH JARVIS Hoboken, New Jersey Varsity Basketball; Management Club; Spanish Club B.S. — Business Poor student participation in activities is Chick's special gripe, and who has better reason to voice this opinion than one of the members of the long suffering Golden Knights? He professes a like for travelling and it's a good thing since his home in Jersey isn't exactly across the street from the Perry Square campus. Be- sides earning his letter on the court. Jim found time to participate in the Spanish and Management Clubs and work part-time at the Boston Store. JEROME FRANCIS JERGE Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. -Accounting A married vet with two daughters, Jerry found it hard to find time to participate in any extracurricular activities. Taking care of the family and trying to make the best of a college education seems enough for one man though. Jerry is a Marine vet, and attended Parks Air College before coming to Gannon. In the likes and dislikes column, cigarettes and no smoking signs — seems pretty reasonable. After graduation, as he says. Who knows? Erie. Pennsvlvania MARTIN L. JOHNSON B.S. — Personnel Management Another of the quiet family men of Gannon. Martin is a vet of the Army and Air Force. After graduation, personnel management is his goal. Raising a family and going to school takes a little more than Uncle Sam provides, so he added to his funds by various truck driving jobs during his stint at our concrete campus. Mart claims playing pool and hunting as his major hobbies. CARL DANIEL KEIM Erie, Pennsylvania B.A. — Mathematics Tau Kappa Epsilon; O.F.T. ; Varsity Tennis; Outstanding Basic Cadet, '54- '55; O.M.K. Carl started his struggle on the darkling plain here at Gannon, broke away for the confines of John Carroll, and then returned to Gannon to complete his background in math. His assistance with the training of the Drill Team, helped turn out a fine organi- zation for this year. After Carl finishes his tour of duty, he plans on entering the field of mathematical research. The shoe depart- ment of Baker's was the stamping ground of this Gannonite for part-time employment. ALBERT BERNARD KINBECK Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. — Finance Another of the members of the backbone of the school, the vets, he attended the University of Scranton before coming to Gannon to continue his work in Business Administration. He is married which didn't leave much time for the enjoyment of extra activity in campus affairs, but married life can have its compensations. Bookkeeping occupied his time in the work category and relaxa- tion was afforded by a golf game. Al hopes to get into Manage- ment training after graduation. DOUGLAS THOMAS KINGSTON Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. — Business Adminstration Tau Kappa Epsilon; Secretary; GANNON KNIGHT, Business Manager. Feature Editor, Editor Board; 1957 LANCE, Editor; Who's Who, '55'56, '56-'57; S.I.T. ; I.R.C.; I.C.G.; Junior Class Secretary; Senior Class, Secretary. The figurehead of the LANCE office, who's head figured in many of the Blitzes of the '57 campaign. One of the most fearless of the obstreperous feature writers of the G - K for two years, Doug gained and lost more friends on Misery Hill than Briggs even. The Erie Times owes much of its success to the advertising wiles of our great white Editor. After Doug finishes two glorious years on the battlefields of Uncle Sam's army, he will probably storm the Bastille of Business and make a killing, either his own or someone else's. DONALD JAMES KLECK Oil City, Pennsylvania B.A. — History N.F.C.C.S.; GANNON KNIGHT, Business and Circulation Manager. A Dean's List man, Don found time to total an impressive average and still hold down two difficult jobs on the G- -K staff. In order to satisfy his interest in travel, Don joined the Navy to see the world. Golfing is his hobby, and after graduation Don hopes to enter either teaching or government work. THOMAS ARTHUR KNOBLOCH Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. — Finance Management Club; Rifle Team; Sigma Phi Epsilon; S.I.T. Tom attended Penn before coming to Gannon in his sophomore year. He found a new home at Gannon and joined in outside activities with admirable zeal. His hobby was automobiles, but unfortunately they seemed to turn on him now and then. Other interests are water skiing and motorcycling. Tom will serve two years in the Ordnance Corps as a second lieutenant. w RICHARD HERMAN KUHN Erie, Pennsylvania B.A. — Biology Tau Kappa Epsilon; Sophomore Class, President; Student Council; Junior Class, Vice-President; Science Club, Treasurer; Who's Who, 1955-56; IM Sports. Three must be Dick's lucky number, as that has been his point average for many moons. A pre-med, Dick spent many afternoons in the labs, investigating the insides of many small animals. When he wasn't delving in the mysteries of science, he was diving into the pool at the Boys' Club, where he was a swimming instructor. Dick has been accepted at the Pitt medical school, the first man from Gannon to be so honored. Just another indication of his great potential for success. RICHARD ANDREW LEWANDOWSKI Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. — Business Administration Dick was a hardened veteran of the Army of the United States be- fore he began to tread the hallowed walks of Gannon. He didn't bother with extracurricular activities, but applied his business acumen at a local advertising agency. In the way of all Madison Avenue tycoons, this led to a very ulcerous life for Dick, which could only be soothed by long sessions at the Laurel Room. CHARLES EDWARD LONG Erie, Pennsylvania Spanish Club B.S. — Business Administration Charlie was a Navy veteran when he hit the local scene in his freshman year. He worked his way through school and supported a wife by working as a night dispatcher for a local express com- pany. His leisure time hobbies are hunting and swimming. Al- though he has no immediate plans for after graduation, he will no doubt enter the canyons of big business. GEORGE HENRY LUBER Ridgefield, New Jersey B.S. — Business Varsity Basketball; Delta Sigma Phi; IM Sports; S.I.T.; S.A.A.; Manage- ment Club. When he wasn't playing hasketball, the next best thing as far as Big George is concerned is relaxing in the sun on the Jersey shore. The Golden Knights had the benefit of his basketball prowess for four years and also the IM scene has seen him in evidence on the courts. Various selling jobs have been his choice as far as part-time work, and after graduation and the army, he hopes to settle in Florida and super sell for full time. MICHAEL JAMES LYNCH Erie, Pennsylvania B.A. — Political Science Student Council, President; O.M.K.; I.C.G.; N.F.C.C.S. We will move immediately into the biography of this student leader. Big Jim was the erstwhile president of Student Council this year and performed admirably. Jim took a personal interest in all forms of student activity while serving as president. His interests also spread to the local girls' schools, where he ran in to all manner of females. The Infantry will claim him for six months after gradua- tion, then education will be his field. Jim also engaged in the traditional blitz here at Gannon. WESLEY JOHN LYNCH Erie, Pennsylvania B.A. — English Tau Kappa Epsilon, Sergeant-at-Arms; IM Sports; Lambda Iota Tau. Treas- urer. i ou could always count on Wes to be around when there was something to do. He was the mainstay of many committees with his cooperation and all-round good humor. Wes explored at the Hurst early in his college career and has maintained his interest in the school by dating one of the graduates. That's what you call tenacity. A Navy vet, Wes plans on gr aduate school and then teaching. GEORGE MACRINO, JR. Erie, Pennsylvania B.A. — Political Science George is a political science major with an eye on the State De- partment for future years. He is another one of those hard work- ing vets, an ex-army man. The fact that his name has appeared on the Dean's List several times attests to the fact that he is a hard worker and sure to succeed in any field of endeavor. Big time operators are this man's pet peeve. STANLEY A. MALINOWSKI Erie, Pennsylvania B.A. — Political Science Tau Kappa Epsilon; Who's Who, 5'5-'56; I.C.G., Vice-President; Sociology Club; Management Club; I. R. C.J V.N. Day Advisor; CANNON KNIGHT, Feature Writer; IM Sports. Stan finished his college days in record time by attending both day and night classes. This heavy load did not stop his participa- tion in a load of extra-activities, and the activities did not stop him from achieving a berth on that coveted List. Stan is an army vet, and has worked at being a claim adjuster in his spare time. Law. insurance, or government work will be this man's final goal after June. ROBERT JAMES MARSH Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. — Accounting GANNON KNIGHT. News Editor, Feature Writer, Editorial Board; 1957 LANCE, Associate Editor; Senior Class, Treasurer; O.M.K.; IM Sports; Who's Who, 1956-1957. Bob's Chevrolet bomb has proved to be a great source of amuse- ment to his Commons Room Colleagues. He has lost it at times, only to have it returned with the glove compartment upholstered in foam rubber. One of the last of the G - K Old Guard, Bob did Gannon's public relations with the girls' schools irreparable damage this year. Called the poor man's Duncan Hines, he insisted on putting the lid on every Blitz with a bowl of Chili. The ground- work laid at the l ocal hospitals will aid him immensely during his two years in the Medical Service Corps. TIMOTHY JOSEPH MC CORMICK Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. — Business Sigma Phi Epsilon, Secretary; Management Club; N.F.C.C.S.; S.I.T. Tim's spare time occupation was taken up by one of the Contracting companies here in town, and he plans on continuing with them after graduation. The Management Club was his major campus activity, this giving him some practical experience in the business field. CLARENCE E. METZGAR Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. — Political Science Varsity Basketball; I.R.C.; IM Sports. The only thing Carney needs to complete his happiness, temp- orarily anyway , is a good year in basketball and football at Kanty Prep, where he is teaching civics and history, besides coaching the aforementioned teams. Carney is a vet. and drove for Major General Ryan during his time. He already has a good start in his chosen field, education, and will most likely continue in fine style. We hope that that good year comes soon. WILLIAM BERNARD MIDDENDORF Girard, Pennsylvania B.A. — Biology O.F.T.; Science Club, Vice-President and President; 1957 LANCE; Delta Sigma Phi; O.M.K. With his degree in Biology tucked under his arm, Middie hopes to go further in the field and enter medical research. Another one of the cave dwellers of Downey Hall, he will undoubtedly go far in his chosen profession. Bill's work time was spent be- hind the counter of a drug store, but he managed to find time for his special interests of hunting, fishing and his future bride. LANCE subscriptions soared when the little colonel took up his post on the subscription staff, an indication of his potential future success. FRANK DOMINIC MINICHELLI Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. — Business Administration Varsity Basketball; N. F. C. C. S. ; Thomas More Club; Management Club. An alumnus of Alliance College, Frank settled at Gannon to lend his talents to the Golden Knights. His interest in golf aided him in his job at the Glenwood Golf Club, and his other sports interests are tennis and ice skating. After graduation, Frank plans on ful- filling his service obligation and then enter the field of business. The N.F. and Thomas More club fulfilled his obligations as far as activities on campus. THOMAS RICHARD MORSE, JR. Erie, Pennsylvania B.A. -English One more of Gannon's hard working English majors, Tom plans on financing his work for a Master's by teaching in the city schools for at least a year. His special interest is horses, and he takes a great pride in his saddle horses. Kimmel and Son Shoe Store was this Gannonite's hitching post as far as part-time work during his college days goes. PAUL NELSON MUSCARELLA North East, Pennsylvania S.I.T. B.S. — Industrial Management Paul called Carnegie Tech home before he made the Gannon scene. Before that, he served as an Infantry Lieutenant. Now he is mar- ried, supporting a family and getting an education. The Dean's List has seen his name a number of times placing him among the more industrious of Gannon men. Industrial management is his goal and if his past is any basis, he should have no trouble what- soever. LAWRF.NCE MILTON PECK Wattsburg, Pennsylvania B.S. — Accounting S.I.T., Treasurer, President. In order to get experience in his chosen field, which is industrial accounting. Larry recently started working at the G.E. Grant's has never been the same since their star shoe salesman left the premises. This change, however, has been to his advantage, since it leaves him more time to devote to the S.I.T., of which he is president, and to his special interests of hunting and fishing. De- spite all these activities, Larry has been a regular supporter of the Dean's List. • Uk JEROME MARTIN PELKOWSKI Erie, Pennsylvania B.A. — Sociology O.F.T.; O.M.K.; I.R.C., Vice-President, President; Sociology Club, Treas- urer; Who's Who, '56-'57. Another Dean's List man, who intends to further himself in the sociological field by studying Psychiatric Social work in grad school. Jerry was a loyal diplomat in the I.R.C., and general chairman for this year's U.N. Day. Part-time he stocked rugs at the Boston Store and sold shoes at Burts. After Jerry completes his p.g. studies, it will be a few years with Uncle Sam. RUSSELL FRANCIS PLUTA Erie, Pennsylvania B.A. — English Tau Kappa Epsilon, PledgeMaster, President; O.F.T., Vice-President, Presi- dent; O.M.K.; Student Council, Treasurer; Lambda Iota Tau; I.C.G.; I.R.C. ; Who's Who, '56-'57. Russ never adopted the attitude, If you can't lick 'em, join 'em when it came to student apathy. Between guiding the Tekes and keeping tabs on the books. he found time to hold down a variety of part-time jobs, argue in Student Council, bark commands at the Drill Team, make an attempt at typing some of the LANCE copy, and be errand boy for the chain smokers of the office. Accused of being gung ho by the Troops, this man plans on a law career after his days as a second John are over. Before this, though, G.P. plans on catching up on the sleep he has lost during his four happy years on the concrete campus. POMPONIO ANGELO POFI Freeport, Pennsylvania B.S. — Business Administration An ex-navy man, Joe hopes to be able to remain in the selling field, using the experience he has gained by working at Robert Hall's during his years at Gannon. He is an alumnus of Edinboro State Teachers, and married. Hunting, fishing, and photography rank high with him as far as hobbies are concerned, with sports running a close id. JOSEPH ALAN POUX Frenchtown, Pennsylvania B.S. — Electrical Engineering A.I.E.E.; O.M.K. ; IM Sports; Seminar on Western Civilization; N.F.C.C.S. The man who was always doing things, yet never loudly. Joe spent his spare hours at a switchboard for one .of the local hospi- tals and probably spent much time putting his college background to work doing more than crossing wires. As the activities chair- man of the A.I.E.E., he helped build this infant organization into one of the most successful clubs on campus. Possessor of a much mispronounced name, Joe plans on a career in electrical engineering. JOHN C. RIMP Erie, Pennsylvania B.A. — English GANNON - KNIGHT, Feature Writer; LANCE, Senior Editor; Drama Club; Student Council, Secretary; Tau Kappa Epsilon, Historian; Lambda Iota Tau. Gannon's only dyed-in-the-wool misanthrope stormed on to the Gannon campus after two years at Behrend Center. It didn't take Jack long to orient himself to the cynical ways of the upperclass- men. His interest in dramatics led him to an attempt at reorganiza- tion of the Gannon drama group as well as an active membership in several other campus operations. One of his other hobbies is journalism, as evidenced in his work on both college publications. Jack is one of the last of the old school of G - K men, a distinction which coupled with his cultivated charm will take him far. ROBERT JAMES ROBASKIEWICZ Erie, Pennsylvania B.A.— History A job teaching history is what this man desires after his departure from Gannon. His secondary hope is to become an insurance agent, a field in which he has valuable experience. He also labored part-time at the Boston Store. Bob arrived at our school after serv- ing in the U.S. Air Force. i DONALD MICHAEL ROBIE Erie, Pennsylvania B.A. — Biology O.M.K., Commandant; Science Club; Cadet Colonel. 1956-57; Who's Who, 1956-57; 1957 LANCE. There was method in Don's madness on 19 Jan. '57 when he tied the knot with Marie. Before that time, Don's spare time was spent travelling between Erie and Meadville until he decided to save on gas and set the date. Don was one of the famed Downey Hall cellar dwellers during his four years at Gannon and plans on teaching Biology. Before that, however, he'll be called upon to spend two years driving around in Army tanks at gov ernment ex- pense. DONALD ALBERT RODENBAUGH Erie, Pennsylvania B.S. — Business Tau Kappa Epsilon, Sergeant-at-Arms; O.F.T., Vice-President; O.M.K.; S.I.T.; R.O.T.C. Band, Commander. Don's special interest in music led him to work long and hard to fulfill a dream which was finally accomplished this year, a march- ing hand for the ROTC Battalion. Between fighting for the hand and trying to complete his studies in business, Don worked part- time as assistant manager of the State Street Super Market. Before receiving his commission which will take up two years of his life, Don and Marge Karaffa will tie the knot in early August. ROBERT RAYMOND RUDOLPH Farrell, Pennsylvania B.A. — Political Science Delta Sigma Phi. President; O.M.K.; I.R.C.; Who's Who, 1956-'57; Student Council. November is the date that Bob will wave aloha to Farrell. home of championship basketball teams, and journey to Texas and defend the nation with the Field Artillery. After all this is successfully over with, Bob will either go to law school or get a job in govern- ment service. During his years at Gannon, he was active in Rotcy circles and also in Student Goverment circles. MAX JOHN RYCZKO Oil City, Pennsylvania S.I.T. B.S. — Accounting The Field Artillery was home for Max before he decided to become an accountant and count other people's money. Seems as though he has his eye on money other than in columns on paper, because he is active in the S.I.T. Max is married and will be able to use his accounting knowledge to get a job and support his family. ANTHONY SALA Erie, Pennsylvania B.A. — Biology Next to accumulating five or six A's every semester. Tony's special interests are Violet and jazz. Another of the Downey Hall cellar dwellers Tony and Dr- Ciufoli can often be seen discussing their mutual interest, music. Tony plans on med school after graduation and his obligation to Uncle Sam is fulfilled. LOUIS JAMES SALERNO Warren, Pennsylvania B.A. — Philosophy Louis's plan is the highest goal that a young man can attain. After he completes his studies here at Gannon, he intends to continue in the work of philosophy and Sacred Thelogy toward the end of becoming a priest. Louis was a member of Sigma Tau Gamma at Clarion State and enjoys reading the GANNON - KNIGHT. THOMAS SAMARA, JR. Manchester, New Hampshire B.S. — Business Administration Management Club Tom heartily dislikes 8:00 classes, thus joining th e club with the largest number of members on campus. He is a Korean vet, spend- ing his time in an airborne unit. By attending Duke and Thiel, Tom has attended more colleges than any other member of the Class of '57. He found a home at Gannon. Tom intends to travel to South America and work for Standard Oil after graduation. WILLIAM ANTHONY SCHUBERT Erie, Pennsylvania B.A. — Biology Science Club, Treasurer, Vice-President, President. Tex spent his time outside of the biology lab clerking in a drug store and a department store, then moving to machinists duties at the G.E. This all served to procure the loot required to finish his pre-med studies here at Gannon. He went through the offices of the Science Club as a valuable source of information for his entrance to medical school. Science fiction is his main source of relaxation. JAMES ALEXIS SENARD Clarion, Pennsylvania B.S. — Accounting S.A.A.; Management Club; G - K. Managing Editor, Circulation Manager; IM Sports. Jim was one of the loyal burners of the oil in the G - K offices when deadlines had to be met. He coupled his journalistic ability with the more material business of distributing it everv Friday morning. An active member of the S.A.A-, Jim is especially interest- ed in sports, but tempers this with an interest in choir singing. He plans to enter the accounting field after graduation, specializing in dishonest tax work. JOSEPH HENRY SHUGART Erie, Pennsylvania Varsity Basketball. 1950; Cannon College Booster Club. B.A. — English Joe spent part of his time being a mixologist at a local pub, Shug's by name. We wonder how he happened to be working there. As most bartenders seem to be. Joe is a sports enthusiast, with a very special preference for the Detroit Tigers. In order to complete his work in English in double time, he attended both day and night classes. He was a substitute teacher even before he graduated in February, and hopes to be able to continue in the teaching and coaching fields. JOSEPH RICHARD SIMMONS Meadville, Pennsylvania N.F.C.CS. B.S. — Accounting A long time member of the celebrated Deans List fraternity, Joe is a married man and a vet of nine long years in the U.S. army.

Joe will assuredly go on to bigger and better things after he graduates. RONALD PETER SMITH Erie, Pennsylvania Management Club B.S. — Business Ron had an important hand in turning the corner of Ninth and State into a facsimile of New York's Time Square. It was his hand that typed out the messages originating from the studios of WERC that were flashed on the news sign.

FRATERNITIES AND HONORARIES GREEK AND HONORARY SOCIETIES A r E H I A The Greek societies, both social and honorary fraternities, and other honorary societies have probably had greater influence on the college and benefited it more than any other organization. These societies are national in organization and promulgate the name of the college throughout the nation in many differ ent ways. They have also benefited the school in a more direct way on campus, with their tremendous enthusiasm and ability to get a job done. Offering both social and intellectual development, the Greek and honorary societies provide the stimulus necessary for the well-rounded individual. With a constant eye to the future development of the college and its student body, the years to come will no doubt prove to be a great era in the life of these societies.

MILITARY LIFE AT GANNON The cadet battalion staff, patterned after the infantry battalion, is responsible to the PMS T of the unit for the training and supervision of the cadet corps. Each member of the staff is concerned with a particular phase of the overall pro- gram. Members of the battalion staff are cadet Col. Donald Robie. Majors Russ Pluta and Dick Dunford. and Captains George Jobczyinski and Gerry Pelkowski. The staff is pictured at left. The training of the cadets of the Gannon ROTC unit is comprehensive and com- plete. Cadets are instructed in arms, tactics, supply and administration and many other areas of tactics and strategy. The theoretical classroom instruction is coupled with weekly drill periods to im- prove marching and manual of arms proficiency. Col. Willis is shown at left correcting the position of a cadet's rifle. Junior and senior members of the bat- talion are given the opportunity to learn by instructing the underclassmen in the practical aspects of soldiering.

V vS PUBLICATIONS THE 1957 LANCE FIFTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION Hi Publishing the 1957 LANCE was an experience that will never be forgotten by those who were as- sociated with the book. For the most part, the memories will be pleasant, full of the good times and laughter that accompanied the many late work sessions around deadline time. And they'll remem- ber the valuable knowledge of yearbook technique and photography that was gleaned from the con- versations with Gina and Louis Caravaglia. official photographers for the LANCE and, more impor- tantly, two of the best friends many of the staff will ever have. The editor-in-chief of the 1957 LANCE is Douglas T. Kingston, a business administration major. To Kingston fell the job of coping with the editorial end of the work and supervising all other areas of yearbook publication. Robert J. Marsh, associate editor of the LANCE, was second in command and worked closely with the editor in all phases of the book. He also acted as a business co-ordinator. Marsh con- tributed many ideas and suggestions that were in- corporated within the pages of this book. He is an accounting major. The advisor to the LANCE was Jay Young, left, a new face on the Gannon scene this year. Consulting with Fr. John Slater, Director of Publications, Young advised the staff on how to best accomplish their job and produce the finest book. He had previous experience with yearbooks when he edited the Georgetown Dome in his undergraduate days. James Graham, right, publisher's rep- resentative from Inter-Collegiate Press, aided the editors in dealing with the more techni- cal problems of publication. Douglas T.

Garvey Editor-in-Chief Carl E. Wolf Associate Editor A sounding board of student opinion, the GANNON KNIGHT is the most powerful student organization on campus. The G- -K hits the stands every Friday morning around ten o'clock and the entire college anxiously awaits its arrival. There's always something within the pages of Gannon's student weekly that will hit home and cause some controversy. Throughout its history, the GANNON KNIGHT has met all comers and usually wound up in the winner's corner. The girls schools label it with terms that would almost shock a marine and responsible college officials often threaten severe action. It's all a part of the tradition of the G - K. William Garvey has been holding down the editors chair for the past two years, moving up from his sports editor position. Scoop is probably the most energetic editor the G - K has seen in many years. His terrific enthusiasm and feeling for the paper have made the papers published during his regime the most appealing and at- tractive editions published. The G - K executive echelon is rounded out by the editorial board, which confers with Gar ey on major policy issues. The edi- torial Board includes Carl Wolf, the managing editor. Doug Kings- ton, feature editor and columnist, and Bob Marsh, columnist. An unofficial editorial board member is Jack Rimp. senior columnist, who is well known for his cynicism and wit. Douglas T.

Council President; Jack Rimp, Secretary; Jim Brzezinski. Vice-President, and Bob Vilchinsky, Treasurer. The Student Council of 1956-57 was one of the most successful of all Councils. It was faced with the task of securing funds to furn- ish and maintain the new Student Center. This project was without a doubt the largest ever presented to a student organization in the history of the college. Student Council a ccepted this challenge without much more than a moment of hesi- tancy. The result was the most successful ven- ture ever attempted at Gannon. This is a re- flection upon the capabilities of the men who served in the Gannon Student Council and set an example for the future.

February 10 the rugged Brown Indians from St. Bonaventure roared into town to take home a victory while en- route to the N.I.T. And on Sunday, February 10 Gannon's Golden Knights, inspired beyond all hope, took the reins in their hands and raced away to a thrilling 83 - 75 victory over the stunned Bonnie five. On that Sunday after- noon, all the sting of the early losing streak was taken away as Gannon fans went hysteri- cal over the surprising upset. The shot on this page mirrors the feeling of the Gannon fans as they joyfully rocked the Audi with strong approval. The victory alone climaxed a long, uphill fight of the Knights from the early season doldrums and stamped the year an unqualified success. Upsets of this nature do not come along every year.

Gannon's legion of followers watched at first in pleased sur- prise, then swung over to excited comment, and ended up rock ing the spacious gym with the greatest cascade of sound in recent years.

AND GANNON'S BOWLING LOOP HAS ANOTHER GREAT YEAR GANNON BOWLING ROUNDUP Almost as old as Gannon itself, the IM Bowling league, which rolls at Berry's Audi every Friday afternoon, wound its way to another successful year. The ten - pin league, embracing about 50 bowlers, including a fac- ulty team, had a close race this year. The HAPPY GANG won the first half but with the second half almost over, found themselves far down the ladder in eighth place. Waging a red hot battle for first place in the second half race were the PICKUPS, ATOMICS, and POGO'S. As late as the last week, only a few games separated the three teams. The faculty always a popular entry, and annually a tough crew, had an off year this season. Fr. Casmir Lubiak, one of the loop's top bowlers is the advisor of the group which has its own organ- ization and officers. The pictures on this page show one of the loop's top bowlers and the bowling alleys. COLLEGE INTRA-MURAL SPORTS ENJOY UNUSUAL SUCCESS IT WAS A SIG YEAR in the IM sport world as the Delta Sigs, who annexed the football crown, appeared well on its way to doing the same in basketball, as the year- book went to press. Paced by Al Bleumle and Don Zbiernowski, Joe Cavanaugh, and Don Trojanowski, the Sigs ran up a 9-0 record with only one game to play. Right be- hind them were the tough Flyers with a 7 - 1 and the ST ABATERS 4-1. The IM basketball loop this year was also vastly improved, with varsity players serving as game officials. There were 11 teams and 74 men taking part in the league. GANNON'S FIRST IM FOOTBALL CHAMPS are pictured below as they hold their newly won trophies. The team fr om the DELTA SIG fraterni- ty won the title with a 3-0-1 record, but were pushed all the way by a hustling Kegler and Browns crew. The Sigs and Keglers in the showdown battle, fought to a 15-15 tie, and won the title by gaining 4 yards to the Keg- lers none in a special yards gamed playoff. The league, just started this year, was played on Sunday afternoon and was an immense success. The players pictured below are: Left to Right: Bottom Ron: Don Trojanowski, Tom Hoke, Gene Kersensky.

Onl) two lettermen return from last year's team. Mike Cusick and Don Lashinger. Nevertheless the outlook for (he year, accord- ing to Fr. Dipre is bright. FR. ADDISON YEHL and his ten- nis squad are pictured on the left with their tools of the trade. The team hampered bv had spring weather, nevertheless post- ed a good record. Gannon's tennis teams are always formidable and on the black side of the .500 led- ger. The squad, expected to be the best in Gannon history this year, is pictured as follows: Left to Right: Rev. A. Yehl. Jack Foht, Mike, Frank Takach, Lou Sweter- lisch. Bill Carey, and Bill Brigh- ton. BILL BRIGHTON, Cannon gift to the Lake Erie Inter- collegiate Rifle Conference, and one of their leading scorers is pictured to the right. Gannon's rifle team had one of their best teams in history this year, and the squad came within a few points of winning the LEIT title. Brighton, consistently a 380 shooter, led Gannon and LEIT in marksman- ship. A GLIMPSE OF THE GANNON SPORTS WORLD 1957 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE 5 ALLEGH 1 1 r GENEVA CARNEGIE It BALDWIN WAl. V [ Â¥ J jB g£ i | '-J George Hesch, above, Gannon's greatest player now turned coach, had a fine season as freshman coach at his old alma mater — Gannon College. Hesch, who started the season with untrained freshmen and later was reinforced with some upperclassmen, turned in one of the best seasons in the school's history. Losers of only two games to go with their dozen victories, the Littla Knights proved the adage that George Hesch the coach does not like to lose any more than George Hesch the player. Pictured at right are the Gannon cheerleaders who provided moral support for the basketball team throughout its season. In front are Tony DeMartinis and Captain Ron Casey. The Mercy- hurst girls in the rear are Ellie Broscoe, Done Andre, and Ina Smith. Shown above is George Kauffman engaging in a fast game of ping pong, one of the most popular sports at Gannon. J aw --- ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT The annual commencement exercise of the col- lege is held on the first Sunday in June in the Audi- torium.

THE LANCE CATCHE STUDENTS INFORMALLY FAREWELL TO GANNON This marks the end of the Fifth Anniversary Edition of the LANCE and the end of the days of the Class of 1957 at Gannon College. It is the destiny of the men of '57 to now assume our responsibilities to society. Many of us will succeed and perhaps a few will fail. But, without a doubt, all of us will realize and appreciate the benefits of this experience at Gannon every day of our lives. These four years have left a deep impression ... an impression that will make us different from other men in thought and deed. It is an heritage in which we can feel justly proud. It is an obligation to feel proud of, to defend and nourish throughout the years. And we like to feel that the college has benefited by the legacv which we shall leave behind. We too have pioneered at Gannon, and hope that we have contributed to the development of the college through our activities while in school. Years from now, perhaps, there will be reference to the men of '57 and their contributions. But, enough of this. It is too early to write the history of the Class of 1957. It will be written every day of every year in all parts of the world. Many years from now will be the time for a final analysis of our achieve- ments. So let's close by hoping that you have enjoyed this edition of the LANCE and by wishing all the men of Gannon, and especially the Class of 1958. the best of luck. Meet me at GRANT'S under the clock!
