Many distinguished Ameri- cans have felt the warm satisfaction that comes with writing after one's name: '4A.B., Hamilton College. You men whom this hook honors have won your degrees under circumstances which make them equal in value and meaning to any Hamilton degrees heretofore conferred. Many of you, absent for years on war service, have returned to a college plunged i11to confusion by expansion and reconversion, to seize a college education as opportunity afforded. Yet in spite of trials, or perhaps because of them, your Hamilton degrees stand for sound learning, distinguished teaching, and pleasant familiarization with the responsibilities of free men. Increasingly as the years go by, your degree will symbolize for you the quality of mind and character that makes men leaders among their professional fellows and their fellow-citizens. Keeping the college headed truly towards the highest goals is a common task of faculty, administration, students, and alumni. A last Word: Never get lost! The College goes to great lengths to keep track of its own. Whenever you move or change jobs or have another baby, send a postcard to the Alumni Review. This will help us to make your participation in College affairs more pleasant and rewarding. If your College experience has been extraordi- nary, small wonder, for I feel that the College should take extraordinary pride in your conquest of difficult disciplines of the mind and your good cheer in the face of hardship. You are a grand bunch, and that goes for your wives too. God speed to all of you, and return soon and frequently to the Hill whence you are setting forth. 3 HAMILTON'S WAR DEAD . ln sunny green spots and on sterile water-bounded dunes the world over are planted great geometric patterns of white crosses. They enshrine Ameri- cans who fell in the second world holocaust within a generation. Fifty of them mark the resting places of men o11ce on this campus. Each of these sacred patches is become a part of Hamilton, forever Hamilton. Over 1600 Hamilton men went forth into the most awful ordeal ever known under heaven. These fifty clods of rich dust are its legacy to us. They make Hamilton akin to the world. One should be proud to carry the name 6'Hamiltonian, with all it repre- sents: sanity, perspective, catholicity. Amidst bewildering tumult, Hamilton remains sanctuary. lts immutability will be soon enough apparent after our departure. Then, let us hearken to the lost voices of these men who knew and loved Hamilton, let us now recognize our kinship with them. All we do here and hereafter ought to be guided by their remote, urging cries. Truly it is time for men to cease being human and become holy. Nothing less is required of us than complete dedication-for destruction. Sometimes on a summer evening, when one hears the rustle of tirs and looks down on his college and sees the pinpoints of light appear far below in the valley, he knows the experience of calm, determined reconciliation with truth. Such must we heed. Hamilton's war dead, thc war dead of the world, yes, miserable humanity itself, are watching us. 08 4 3 , ff ., . -, 1 l-'- 1 ' -'-- ' -1. ' 5- r- ' .. . Q f 3 My ew' .

Reeves 1944 we gafflflgg XA ln the turbulent years just past, dubious distinction as the most harassed group in college has passed from the freshman class to the faculty. Since 1943 flux and uncertainty have characterized the operations of this body, long viewed as only less stable than the Root Elms themselves. Witness the statistics: of fifty-one members, but twenty-four are pre-Pearl Harbor appointees. Nor do figures portray the whole story, for time has made its demands too. A grievous loss was the death in the spring of 1946 of Dr. Edward Fitch, Professor Emeritus of Greek and for many years Dean. Metamorphosis was well under way in mid-1943, when twin deans were desig- nated to supervise academic programs, one for military personnel and one for the vanishing civilian group. One of several problems they resolved was the dove- tailing of these two schedules to avert time conflicts. The exigencies of a military program uncovered faculty versatility, so that it became no uncommon phenomenon for a physical education instructor to teach English composition competently, or for the music professor to revert from Bach to the gospel according to Beard. Although the humanities were subordinated to more directly utilitarian fields, sheer numbers kept the English department, for example, constantly occupied red- pencilling themes, while a shortage of language teachers brought women into the faculty fold for the first time in Hamilton history. ln 1944 civilian enrollment atrophied almost to the vanishing point, a situation that made for academic clover for the fortunate few and a chance for experimentation, from which the freshman English seminar and a revised history survey course resulted. The fluctuating and demanding nature of wartime conditions presaged a loss of homogeneity but be- queathed to post-war Hamilton a faculty differentiated from all that had preceded it by its cosmopolitan character. A nearly complete upheaval occurred in ad- ministration, the final step being the appointment last October of Mr. Blyth, Acting Dean of the College since July, 19114, to a position as Dean of the Faculty. Peace has 11ot vet blessed the faculty with an 'thing like its former serenit '. 1, N D 1 The onslaught of Atomic Ave enrollees, nearl ' 600 of them, has recluded res ite 5 C from a 'ear-round teaehin f calendar nor is there now an Y ros ect of abatement bl V 7 9 with another summer session in store. With neither rest nor time for research many professors may inevitably he expected to feel academically punch-drunk, even with the addition of departmental assistants to case some routine burdens. The wartime emphasis on science has now turned to a new concern with social studies, a tendency reflected in departmental shifts here. 6 l jacuby ART KARL WITH-Professor of Arif Munich and Berlin, Ph.D., Vienna.

Emerging from his obscure background only in such times of decision, he nevertheless is actively con- cerned with college affairs at all times. His presence assures alumni that their alma mater is being Well supervised. To the undergraduate he is the guiding hand that guarantees four years of superior education and college training. Only after gradu- ation does the student come to realize and appreciate the high standards of ability and deep interest in the College that characterize all the Trustees' efforts and achievements. The Board of Trustees is composed entirely of Hamilton men with the exception of the President of the College, a member ex officio. Meeting four times annually, it discusses and resolves problems pertinent to the welfare of the College. Among its most recent acts have been the appointment of President Worcester and the approval Of numerous faculty appointments, the adjustment of student expenses, and authorization of the 1947 summer session.

NIEAGHER amiaon vs in fAe war Of late many a returning Hamilton man has experienced the freshman's thrill once again in reacquainting himself with his college. The impassive serenity of grounds and buildings belies the upheaval whichfrecolored the Buff and Blue with a khaki shade during the heavy waning days of 1942. With civilian students outnumbered eight to one by the soldiers, the Hill took on every aspect of an army camp. Mufti-clads still ambled from class to class in knots of two or three, soldiers wheeled about in 'itask units of 10 to 25. The chapel bell between classes set in motion some 10 to 20 squads of Army Specialized Training Program language-area students and 15 flights of singing pre-meteoro- logical privates. The college's unprecedented population density made for crowded Clinton buses, stacks of soiled O.D.'s in the dry cleaning shops, and frequent queues at the barber shops and soda fountains. At mealtimes the college turned restaurateurwwhole- sale. Commons' massive oak tables gave way to bistro stands with much less elbow room. 530 chow hounds filed past steam tables in two long lines. The Soper Build- ing's wooden annex is one monument to have evolved from the demands of large- scale dishwashing. Civilian students dined in regal seclusion at Delta Kappa Epsilon and at Alpha Delta Phi, the catacombs of the latter even being fitted out as combination PX and snack bar. To find an instructional staff for 600 students, concentrating their work on a few subjects, was no slight problem. To meet PM needs, a six man mathematics- physics staff was inflated to 211. The arrival of the ASTP language-area students upped the five man romance language department to 13, and a new four man '4area division was created to teach the economics, politics, and geography of Central Europe. A 130-year tradition was tossed aside with the hiring of seven Painless M ilitarizat ion g if.-R523 Graduation by the Numbers . . . women language teachers, four of them wives of male faculty members. The more variegated civilian program presented no such dilliculties. Language courses often hit rock bottom, but English composition, history, mathematics, and physics waxed with registrations of 25 or 30. Classroom space was a dire need. The gargantuan festive boards from Commons were transplanted to Truax, where area students amused themselves coloring in spread maps. PM space was gained by slicing Roofs math parlors in twain, and gloomy Silliman had its dozen odd uses reduced to but one: teaching space for ASTP trainees. What was once nebulously dubbed Ustudeut lifen was stripped of its ostentation and confined to scant snatches of time Where it could be found. For the soldier population it consisted ofa brief hour and a half before Htaps and one evening a week, save for occasional week-end passes. It took the Army to convince local bus companies that. the Hill is not, an insurmountable barrier, so that Saturday P. NI. saw escaping ti.l.'s swarming aboard Ivtica-bound conveyances. The breathless pace inspired civilians to greater efforts. Squad living, military drill. and a demerit system highlighted the freslnnen's introduction to militarism. although upperclassmen still lived as untouchables. Soldier scholars found college facilities adequate and modern. Especially popular was the Drowsing Room, which they soon adopted as a haven for pleasurable reading and furtive napping. The Alumni tiymnasium, as a body-building plant, met with but limited favor. Classroom desks now bear the initials of some who found etching them for posterity 15 HAMILTON IN THE WAR fffllllfl-11116112 more absorbing than the Articles of War. The Chapel served as a catch-all, includ- ing its use as a cinema palace and as a classroom for large groups. In December, 1944, came the news that a mass exodus of the warriors would be complete by the following February. With this announcement gray hairs multi- plied in the budget department. But in any ease the facts were that, after three years of war training programs, 300 CPT fliers, 700 air corps pre-meteorologists, and a countless number of ASTP trainees, A-127s, and pre-medics had been boosted along their educational way. K Came 1945, the wild bells rang out, and Hamillonews exulted: The road is open. lt will 11ot be long before the campus is once more crowded with Hamiltoniansf' lt was not long. With the passing months applications for admission swamped the administration. In keeping with the times, a 116W president, David Worcester, and a new dean of students, Theodore S. Jones, both naval veterans, were appointed, and stepped into unenvied roles as peacetime planners. The Hamilton that geared itself to war has found no easy task in reconverting to peace. Still Hamilton remains as we knew it: the View over the Oriskany, the neat. quadrangles, the importunate chapel bell-these are immutable in the Hamil- ton of yesterday and today.

GRADUATES Us L . fix 2 if 4' ' Acting President Hurld with June, 1905, Graduates Twenty-four civilian students in late 1943, fifty-eight in 1941, sixty-three in early 1945-by such slender threads did mufti enrollment at Hamilton hang during those years that marked a numerical retrogression to the infant Hamilton of 1814. Save for a larger proportion of pre-meds than ordinarily, the small civilian body was fairly representative of its peacetime counterpart. Each was here for a purpose, however, and the group included no scholastic risks. Inevitably these students had to forego the joe collegew aspect of student life so dear to the spinners of college lore. ln its place the administration instituted a custom-made program built on a short-term basis, which enabled youngsters not able to commit, themselves for long to pick up credits before the awaited call. Three small-scale houseparties were swung, but except for basic athletic a11d student government functions, the non-academic on college hill was non est. Record student body averages were evidence enough that the non-uniformed remnant was expend- ing its energies on the books. Commencements, sparse and quiet, were not the affluent affairs of yore. ln June, 1944-, the 150th anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone of Hamilton-Oneida Academy, ten out of seventeen graduates were present to receive their degrees in person. The list of honors and prizes announced by Dean Graves was long. Much the same pattern prevailed right through the Commencement of June, 19463 it is evident in the fragmentary pattern of the following pages. These men, to whom Hamilton is already a memory, knew their college at the nadir of her fortunes. 17 graclua lea RICHARD COOK CLELLAND Clinton Squires 1944 Phi Beta Kappa, Band 1, 2, 33 Instructor in Mathematics, 1943-1944.

Back in 1941 they hailed the entering Class of 1945 as the wonder class, but even the members of that proud body will concede that this Juneis graduating quota far exceeds '45 in marvels. tliven the situation predominating at most in- stitutions ofthe higher learning throughout the country, the Class of 1947 would be, paradoxically, phenomenal if it were not phenomenal. Consider its mere age range, for example, embracing over a decade of class designations. The manifold talents and backgrounds incarnate in its eighty-eight members, a rather small number as Hamilton classes go, would do justice to the most cosmopolitan com- munity imaginable.

T9 igma mi Sigma Phi, by virtue of its 1831 appearance on campus, claims eminence as the venerable grandaddy of Hamilton fraternity life. The present Hall of the Beta, constructed in 1917, is the third. The first was in Clinton, the building which is now the village library, while the second, built on the present site in 1900, burned in 1915. Before the house was reoccupied last fall its interior was extensively remodeled. The concatenation of Sig honors this year includes the head of the intramural council, representation on the Honor Court, presidency of the junior class, co- captaincy of the football team, the soccer captain, and the college organist tossed in for cultural equipoise. The starting hockey line was but a modified Sig dele- gation. Was Los tapped two juniors from the house. In less secular realms was a heavy representation in the Church Session and the college choir. Special dis- tinction came to Charlie Redmond and to Lee Bristol, who found their way into the pages of Who's Who, collegiate department.. Fraternity spirit ran rampant in intramural competition, for which Sigs turned out in sufficient number and quality to win their division's volleyball cup and to produce standout hockey and basketball teams. Beviving a hoary tradition, the pledges were host to fifty faculty and alumni children at a Christmas party complete with pillowed Saint Nick. ffm N- 1 sl fri' x tx :Wo - .fifiv i ie : i' 80 .mega Mi To combat the 6'evils of two societies then existing at Hamilton-there have been many such in College history-Samuel Hells and four fellow idealists founded the mother chapter of Alpha Delta Phi in 1832. From this modest beginning the fraternity has expanded to encompass some twenty-seven chapters, three of them in Canadian universities. The iirst Samuel Eells Memorial Hall, a rococo monstrosity, was erected in 1882. The present chapter house, completed in 1929, bears the same name as its predecessor but is one of the most architecturally pleasing ediliees overlooking the Valley of the Oriskany. After its three year lying-in period the Hamilton Chapter of Alpha Delt has resumed full-scale operations with a vengeance and now harbors more active mem- bers than at any time in its long history. Hedecoration has restored the Hall to prime condition. College activities, gladiatorial and otherwise, have been furnished their traditional quota of ADP lads. A happy portent for continued vitality was the ingenuity of the pledge delegation, whose efforts won for the house the trophy awarded for the display best expressive of pre-I Tnion game spirit. The knit-tie boys have carried this same spirit into their social functions, where they may wax hos- pilable in the spacious newly renovated game room, one of the finest on the Hill. . o L 4 K ' A --.uv 3 . ..

'f 6. + -4 Mt ,M 82 :ii Madikn A little over a hundred years ago a group of Hamiltonians decided that the two then-existing fraternities on the Hill should have some competition. Iinder the sponsorship of the Yale chapter, they became part of the national Psi lvpsilon organization. And the newly-formed secret body did oll'er competition, for today Psi If is the largest house on the Hill, both in size and membership, a distinction that has evoked the fond appellation, The Barnf, lt has been said that fraternities leave their mark on a man, and the loeal chapter of Psi lf is no exception. Their seniors may be easily recognized on the eampus by the spinal curvatures which are a result of sitting on the hard, backless dining room benches and the musele-bound legs which have developed through four years of struggling up the Barn's seven flights of stairs. Always a diversified house, the Psi ll's this year boasted representation on every college activity, a record that reached its apotheosis in student government, where Psi if dicta went virtually unchallenged. Ill its traditional specialty of accomplish- ing the impossible, the PY Club this year distinguished itself by accommodating some forty-one of its members without even bulging at the sides. E Ur 84 CM Qi The Chipsies, like most ol' their fellow eating houses, eame out of la guerre bloody but unhowed. Last summer's plastic' surgery treatment. plus a boldly t,'Xl'l'lllt'd autumn ollensive, have sueeeeded in plaeing the Lodge in a position somewhat akin to ante-bellum normaley. The big sleep did, however, preelude the celebration of an eagerly awaited een- tennial obscrvanee ofthe house's establishment. Sinee its introduction at Hamilton in I8-15 Chi Psi has been a voiee to reekon with in college allairs. lts reputation for uniqueness first gained eredenee when, with the requisition of the Huntington estate, it set the pattern for each fraternity to possess its own house. The Hamil- 1011 ian was eoneeived in l859 by t.wo Chi Psi's. More in eonformity with Contempor- ary tastes, be it noted that the Winter Carnival tradition, now eonsidered a virtually indispensable feature of Hamilton life, was initiated by a Lodgee. This preeedent for doing things was again strengthened this year when eheerleader Herm vm1d.-r- wart almost. singlehandedly roused a parvenu student body from its apathy in time to help eonsummate the phenomenal football vit-tory over the rival Dutch. The veteran brothers are eonviuced that, in sum, life in the Lodge onee again projeets a picture reminiseeut of l'1Hlf'y0Il days gone by and prophetic of continued strength. Nts? t- l ,f?'f!3'i .fl ,N l my 86 mega Mani on The construction of Camp Dewey in its backyard, coupled with feverish prepara- tion on the part of the brethren for a gala post-war opening, have in recent months given DU all the appearance of a government reclamation project. Nor is this activity at an end, for its alumni are laying plans for a much-needed house addition to provide more Lebensraum for the cramped inmates. Not content to Wait for this scheduled renovation, the Dl s have already remodeled their downstairs 'lplayroomw on their own. Largest house in point of membership in former times, its postwar nucleus of two men was somewhat crushed to find some forty-four among the missing. Two rushing campaigns and an autumnal infiltration of former members cured that difficulty, so that D.U. is again operating full tilt as one of the better-balanced houses on the campus. Mishaps encountered en route have been met and over- come as, for example, the terrible tragedy of the water-main break at houseparty time, a situation that made entertaining rather trying, to say the least. 1947 marks the hundredth anniversary of the founding of the Hamilton chapter, an occasion noted by the holding of the national convention here on the Hill. The assembled brethren pin their hopes on matching in the future the accomplishments of this first century of prosperous existence. ' 5 . 88 i .ibeha Jgappa 6ll05iAl'l e Tau chapter of DKE joined the Hill fraternity group in 1856. Throughout its Hamilton career the fraternity has gathered its membership from holoistically- inclined undergraduates, With both scholastic achievement and extra-curricular activity regarded as essential to a balanced college existence. For many years the Deke house was located on the now-vacant plot of land at the corner of College Hill and Bristol Road. ln 1927, with the completion of a new domicile, the chapter moved Hillwards into present quarters. In the spring of 1946 nine Deke members on the Hill accomplished the rebirth of the fraternity. With the chapter again swelled to pre-War proportions, it has gone on to reassert its traditional prominence in athletics, debate, dramatics, and student government. Bernie Burns co-captained the football teamg Bill Freeman was editor of Hamilionews. On the managing end, prexy Fred Smith took care of stray pigskins, while Bob Belden has shouldered the business end of college publications. Animated by a desire to promote anything beneficial to the college community, the DKE House derives great satisfaction from its associations with itsgfellow fraternities and with the college as a whole. if 3 1 ' milf X5 Mig-xfvl, W 90 ,. 15:33 Hx k ?x .wwf- 'W 'Wm W ,L w 4 Q Eg Zffw' 3 N IZW ., ,,, W L 'C IS- g49::,,f A 4.

In 1868 the local Charge joined the national organization of Theta Delta Chi and moved into a house in Clinton. There followed assorted moves in Clinton, then to the foot ofthe Hill to the present Morrill House, with the campus finally gained in 1925, some fifty-seven years later. After the lean war years, the Theta Delts are again back in stride and taking an active part in things Hamiltonian. All of last summer was spent in painting and redecorating the Ranch. With the fall, twenty-one pledges signified their in- tention of upholding the local- Charge's traditions, not to mention sharing in Satur- day night soirees and the like. This group added to nineteen returnees raises the total of men in the house to the largest ever. Every Theta Delt has always pointed with pride ofcourse, to brother Alexander Woollcott, who aided the Charge in building an outstanding fraternity library. Last election dayfanother old time confrere came to the fore, United States Senator Irving M. Ives. This year Hamilton Theta Delts will join the twenty-six other charges in celebrating the fraternity's Centennial Anniversary. if ' 4 99 92 merdon olfferargf ociefg '6Honest, fellows, we're really no more literary than you. ln fact our basement has the longest--f' ELS arose in 1882 from the Hamilton College Debating Circle and has suffered ever since under the stigma of erudite anteeedents. No delightful ambiguities permeate its original constitution, Hill neutrals, irked by discrimination, united in a move for self-protection and the betterment of scholar- ship. The step worked. The Society is still noted for the volume of Phi Betes to flow from its portals. But over the years the young idealists have survived an in- ternal schism and a disastrous fire to emerge just as much one of the boys as any of the Hill's Hellenic institutions. - liven so, this year, with the Continerdal and the Hamiltonian in their laps, the li. Hallites cannot judiciously deny all ties with matters literary. Their talents are, however, well diffused. A college vote of confidence was accorded Student Council members Ellis Bradford and Donald Gregory, heads of the senior and the freshman classes. The toehold in WHC is ample evidence of the progressive spirit abroad in the Hall. Intramural competition has come in for its share of attention too, although not to the detriment of a showing in varsity athletics, notably soccer and swimming. The home away from home for students and faculty alike during the sombre years is again being enlivened by this, the latest quota of transcen- dentalist descendants to lay claim to the title Emcrsonian. gs , ,te 94 amdala In 1918 a wing of the Emerson Literary Society split from the house to organiie another local fraternity, Beta Kappa, with a view to affiliation with a national organization at some later date. A few years thereafter Beta Kappa petitioned Lambda Chi Alpha for a charter and was duly installed as the sixty-fourth Zeta on February 22, 1924. Since that time Gamma-Eta has initiated over two hundred and fifty men, gradually taking its character from its high standards of scholastic performance. In pre-war years it consistently ranked among the tirst three fraternities in scholastic averages. War sent the chapter into a coma, but it snapped out with the return in early 1946 of Brothers Connerton, Siedlecki, Shaw, and Schmid. Bushing and pledging that spring added eight men to the ranks. The house reopened last fall, concurrent with the return of three more pre-war members and further leaveningin the form of fourteen pledges. With so healthy a start and the backing of the strongest na- tional organization represented on the Hill, Lambda Chi confidence in the future is well warranted. N 1'f'0 of 96 1 Q I' . ,5,A i..

Founded in 1939 in answer to the problem of the man who could not or would not join a fraternity, and taking its name from Pro- fessor William Harder Squires, the young organization was forced to hibernate early in its career for want of civilian replacements. lt emerged from the three- year quiet period armed with a new constitution, new ideas and spirit, and the wholehearted support of faculty and administration. Every man on the Hill not affiliated with a fraternity is entitled to the use of the Silliman Hall clubrooms, boasting ping-pong tables, a radio-phonograph, the indispensable examination file, and an embryonic library. The Squires slug it out with the fraternities in intramural competition, fielding a Buff and a '6BIue team. H Fall houseparty saw the Squires' first postwar dance, a successful mural-bedecked affair held in the Hall of Commons. Their striking '6Beat l'nion display, erected before the same would-be-gothic pile, gave the Alpha Delt effort close Competition for first honors. More and better social events are numbered among club projects. In the line of accomplishment is a series of well-attended lectures of general interest sponsored by the club and delivered by members of the faculty. The fresh enthusiasm of the present, backed by a four year running start from pre-war normality, promises to project the Squires Club into its proper niche along- side the Creeks as an influential organ in undergraduate activity. 98 Wm. an W aw gif Av- ' M 9 A , B ' YA ----- ,.v M 5 y --,..

The Council. however, has not been content to rest on formalities and under the chairmanship of Hoyt Harmon set out at the year's beginning to aet as a functional group. 1' Une of the first jobs it tackled was that of reviving moribund college spirit. This it accomplished in co-operation with the Student Council, with no mean results as any outsider who was on campus during the Union game week-end can testify. Meeting in solemn conclave, the Council acts primarily as a co-ordinator of fra- ternity aetivities, but it is also helpful in planing for school dances or in ruling on questions of alumni reunions, freshman rallies, and the like. Heinstituted this year the advisory service that has been so helpful in extri- cating many houses from a maze of rebirth problems to positions of solveney. Most significant of all, however, is the reform blow that has been struck at a time when relations among the fraternities betray less friction than at any period in the past. New rules governing rushing activities, to go into effect this fall, have been designed to eliminate ambiguous terminology, to insure every incoming stu- dent the chance to inspect all houses equally, and, most important, to guarantee that any man interested in joining a fraternity is not overlooked. This timely and enlightened step towards fraternity concord attests the aware- ness of the Councils members to rush week evils that have flourished in former years, and its desire to combat not only these but also the unjust opprobrium that the fraternity system has suffered because of them. 100 I j gags 41 Y.

My TH E CULL EG E YE AR jooflaf College historians may one day reckon the first Saturday of November, 1946, as the date onwhich Hamilton at last flowered into post-war bloom. lt was Home- coming Day for the Hill eleven, and the squeals of houseparty guests eommingled with the bass cheers of undergraduate supporters seemed to complete the picture of ancient pomp reinstated. A fortnight previously the veteran-shy Hamilton squad had taken on Svracuse's Neanderthal Jayvees in a pre-season fray. A three tally rebuke suffieed to show up the weak spots, and with these plugged, Svendseifs proteges had sojourned the following week-end to the lliver Campus to do battle with Rochester. On the first play of this first scheduled game, Ants Diffiregorio snared a screen pass to streak goalwards for a score. But the Rochester wall had overwhelming power and, despite our diminutive back's second touchdown on a ninety-seven veard runback, the Yellowjackets piled up 1-l points, to best our 14. Now November 2 saw the Hillmen slithering through the home mud of Steuben Field. .And this time not even Hobart's premature lead could hold the home com- bine from a mist-enshrouded 7-6 triumph over its Geneva opponents. The mo- mentum engendered by this success sent an optimistic team to Haverford, where it met, its big disappointment, of the season. The Continentals held their own during the first half, but injuries and loose playing enabled the Mainliners to push us the length of the arena three times in the final minutes, to amass twenty-eight more points. .lust to make sure that the half wasn't one-sided, though, Bernie Burns churned through for paydirt, and his performance was reinforced by another screen pass from Coleman to Diffiregorio which accounted for the second Hamilton score of the day. w, I I ll izling Tritmn' irule: lxeele, Svcndsen, We-her. ?

The classic of this or any other season was the epic clash with Union, marking the 51st time Hamilton has matched brawn with that institution. An experience- wise and spirit-infuriated team jogged' onto the turf that bright afternoon, primed to get results. And how they produced! A capacity gallery gaped in happy stupe- faction as Hill underdogs outfought the touted Garnet, scatter formation and all, throughout sixty minutes of incredible play. The shriek of the final whistle signalled the victory clanging of the chapel bell and kudos aplenty for Bernie Burns 82 Co., who had evened the series with the Dutch. From out of nowhere inspired team play had pulled a successful season in its waning moments.

Despite optimistic pre-season views, it wasn't until loyal student fans were about to start chanting Wait'll next yearw that the boys hit on the right combination and their real potentialities came to the surface. Hobart took the first fray, 55-52. In the next. engagement, Hamilton outplayed a rangy fnion team at Schenectady but was downed by a 50--12 margin. This was the game in which high man Dan Ferguson scored 12 of his 20 points on fouls, certainly some sort of record. Back on the home court, Hill hoopslers suffered from a half-time rally by Stevens Tech, 53--1-1. Lanky Bill Tanks talents CHIIIO to the fore in this contest. Hamilton first tasted victory against Mass. State, whose measure it. took 54-52 in a fast game featuring Tank with I5 points and HFale Connelly with 13. Blue book fatigue had much to do with our second loss to Stevens on its Hoboken court, 449-38. Hoehester's Piivermen found the Continentals easy prey, in the 94-48 dis- aster tlashy Dan Ferguson's 20 points were the saving grace. Baek in their own back yard, the MHSSHt'lll1St3tlS State men avenged their previous loss by skimming through with a -19-46 win. 4 Yictory was close at hand in what was perhaps the season's decisive struggle, when the locals seriously jeopardized the 63-60 win of R. P. l., a team that has in recent years made frequent trips to the Madison Square Garden tournaments. Once again the lead score was chalked up by Dan Ferguson, who cleaved the meshes for his customary 20 points. Tank, Wilson. Dan Ferguson, Connelly poised to lake Brewer's lip-off against Mass. Slate.

Tank and Ferguson did the honors against the pottery-makers, with 20 and 15 markers respectively. The next victim was Hobart, to whom the Weber charges administered a 61-45 drubbing, using the fast break. Ferguson and Tank added to their laurels with more distinguished shooting. The return fray with Union was Hamilton's most impressive victory of the entire campaign. Bolling to a 41-29 edge at half-time and maintaining its lead in the face of strong Dutch threats, Hamilton emerged triumphant, 67-61. Captain Bill Wilson, John Connelly, and Bob Mackay sparkled in the win with their brilliant floorwork, while Tank, Ferguson, and Brewer found the bull's eye for 19, 18, and 11 points in that order. In the season's finale the team distinguished itself with a stellar showing against the same Rochester powerhouse that had won so easily in the first meeting. Dan Ferguson and Bob Brewer, co-captains elect, led a scoring parade which incessantly harassed the lf. of B. bailiwick and gave the Continentals the lead throughout a big portion of the proceedings. Only Boch- ester's set shots gained it the 68-60 margin of victory. but Coach Weber had the satisfaction of seeing hard work rewarded in basketball that clicked as the season ended. 107 s ocLey The winter of 1947 was destined to be hot for l1ockey at l-lamilton. Enriched by veterans Charlie Redmond, Charlie Knapp, and Bernie Burns, the squad was the college dream team of the decade. Coach Rudd, not unaware of its potentialities. could be seen in the gym boiler room long before snow came, grooming his charges in shooting and skull practice. But the ice came late and Hamilton faced St. Lawrence, a power in the liast. with scant practice in the Sage frigidorium behind it. The T-2 defeat we sustained at their hands was ample evidence of our unpreparedness. From that point the team began living hockey and the engagement four days later at West Point saw a skilled and scrappy team fight the Cadets to a 2-2 deadlock. ln home territory again, the pucksters battled a spirited Middlebury squad, filing the Vermont ice- men away under an 8-2 victory. A three-week hiatus occasioned by mid-year examinations was broken when Messrs. Redmond and Entourage sharpened their skates on the Jamaica Hawks to the tune ofa 6-2 win in preparation for the coming Colgate onslaught. The Raiders had a crack team this year and wasted no time in exposing our chief weak- nesses: lack of passing teamwork on the lines and a faulty defense mechanism. Coach Rudd quickly set about eliminating these loopholes, which Werelargely re- llfunlinued on Page H09 Williams lhwarling llze Clinlon attack. 108 Slandiny: Vandurwart CAssl,. Mgrj. U. Burns.

Dick Burns, who had been doingan excep- tional job on the second line at the.season's beginning, was adopted by Redmond and scrappy Dana Babcock on the first string, while Carl Knapp stood up to center on the second wave to augment the aggressiveness of Nick Burns and the hard shooting of Jim Burns with his own uncanny skating ability. These shifts, together with the efforts of Bill Crew and Bernie Burns to perfect their defensive teamwork, brought big dividends in the next game, in which the Hillmen skated rings around the Big Bed of Cornell, to the delight of an enthusiastic Carnival gallery which saw the Ithaca quintette suffer a stinging 12-2 loss. The Colgate jinx, however, still proved unbreakable, and the Baiders skated away with a 10-2 victory in the next ice spectacle. Determined to show rink followers they were still in the fight, the Hamilton men did an about face and squelched a cocky Williallls combination 10-2, to the delight of retired coach A. l. Prettyman. who made hockey history at Hamilton for many a year. The season terminated with two well-fought losses to a seasoned Clinton Hockey Club, led bythe legendary Gregg Batt, fl-3 and 7-et. That Hamilton, with less than 600 students, regularly produces hockey squads able to engage and, more times than not, defeat contending teams from the East's larger institutions is a feat that has gained her distinction as the Little Giant of college hockey. This year's team has undergone its metamorphosisg next year it will stand ready to offer stiff competition to the best the country has to offer. 110 llze Welzerrrzen gain tl . .

Sinee the College stepped out of its class to sehedule meets, this first win helped no end in bolstering the team to faee its swamping by Syracuse in the ensuing swim-fest., 64-ll. Further disaster followed with Colgate's 66-9 eonquest of the Hill team. Still holding their heads high, Keefe's aquabeaux taekled formidable H. P. l., estimated our strongest opponent, to undergo a 62-I3 defeat. ln the return meet. with Colgate, notwithstand- ing eonsiderable improvement, we still had to faee a 58-15 loss. Highest hopes rested on the next elash with lvnion. The team, paeed by Dan Cantor, Bill Taverner, and Bob Howard, did mueh betterthan the final 119-26 seore would indieate. lixeept for the final relay, whieh we won by nearly a pool length, every event was elose. Taverner set. a new pool record of 79.7 points in the diving event, besting his own previous reeord by three points and leaving his nearest competitor thirty-five points behind. Rochester returned in the final meet set on revenge and splashed our plueky swimmers 50-25. Despite its setbaeks, the team is to be praised for the gallant fight. it. put up against highly unfavorable odds. 112 MCL .Ll To most Hamilton H1811 the Block H Club is something new. Actually the or- ganization existed here before but had lain fallow since 1938, until Charlie Redmond and an interested group of Hill athletes took it upon themselves to form the club anew. Club membership consists solely of men who have won varsity letters. Unlike many another group of its ilk, it is strictly utilitarian and dedicated to advancing athletics at Hamilton. The club strives to maintain interest in all phases of athletic activity on the Hill, acting as a go-between for the student body and the physical education department. tinder Hedinondis aegis, its members have contacted schol- astically qualified athletes in many high schools and preps in the liast, to interest them in attending llamilton. Several sub-freshmen visited the campus during the year under club auspices and were made familiar with the Hill. Club members also gave of their time to help sell refreshments at the basketball and hockey games. Proceeds from the concession are to bc applied to improvementsin the Baker lounge ol' the gymnasium. To cap activities, the letternien gathered shortly after spring vacation for a banquet, at which animal awards for football, hockey, and basketball were an- nounced and letters for the winter sports distributed. 113 Twomey.

Y ls . . agnframuraf gounci Iuterfraternity athletic' eompetition serves two laudable purposes: it drains otl auy frustrations that almost-varsity men might harbor, and it eneourages friendly rivalry among the houses. The Intramural Couneil, as the governor of this eom- petition, can on demand sehedule anything from a ping-pong meet to a basketball tournament. Besides a delegate from eaeh house, its roster also ineludes two repre- sentatives from the Squires, one from the married men, and one from the TKIC Chapter, at present inaetive on the Hill. The Couneil exists to eneourage and eorrelate interueeiue rivalry and to pro- vide the means for its realization. lt arranges schedules, sets game times, prom-ures equipment, and makes eligibility qualilieations, to insure equitable eompetition. ln all this it aets as a sort of liaison ageney between the physieal edueation depart- ment and interested students. This year eompetition flourished in toueh football. volleyball, hoekey, basketball, and softball. So elose was tl1e going that playolls for the fall sports had to be held over until springtime. Broadening the sphere of its aetivities, the Council also arranged hockey and basketball matehes with intramural ehampions from Colgate, who were met by Hamilton all-stars. This healthy poliey of spreading the sports thin guarantees that any man so inelined may partieipate in as well as look on the game of his ehoiee. .Ill -we CO! eg? eal' it Between classes Driving up the corrugated mountain last October, you might not have at first guessed you were returning to, or just entering, a college evolving from ehaos. Nature had already unleashed her dress rehearsal for the winter to come, almost before October was decently under way. The anxious fraternity welcome mat was unfurled to all who cared to trip on it, and in the pauses between personality tests, interviews, and flood lights, bedazzled but cautious frosh politely received nattily attired upperelassmen, who stormed their living quarters in every cranny of the campus. With a freslnnan class touching 190, a perfectly respectable total enrollment not many decades ago, confusion and general anarchy ruled for several weeks. The old homogeneity was nowherein evidence.There was an uncomfortable chip-on-shoulder attitude prevalent that the resented efforts of concerned upperclassmen eould not dispel in a fortnight. Post-war Hamilton was laden with individualists, and indi- vidualists speak to whom they please. Men who had known another Hamilton bc- moaned the difiidence of the great gangling student body, read disaster in the signs of thriving eultism and cliquishness. ll5 Hamilton is still a college, not a think factory, and what dicta and protests in the public speaking classes failed to elicit., events gradually achieved. The flag rush, weekly chapel, class warnings, fall houseparty and the Saturday bacchanaliae, those prime catalysis of conviviality, and finally the Union game lather helped to homogenize the student population and render it compact. ln November it pe- titioned for, and got, the Thanksgiving recess it felt it deserved. The expansive power of this student body was in part typified by its foreign students, Messrs. Maret, Dyrdal, Jaskari, and Contovounesios, representing France, Norway, Finland, and Greece. In a climate of extremes in taste, every conceivable sort. of extracurricular diversion prospered. Clubs burgeoned with bewildering fe- cundity-a Camera Club, a Chess Club, a Spanish Club, not to mention the maui- fold organizations in the process of starting anew. Above all, however, the student body was a serious one. The incidence of genius was incredibly high, and im- permeable mentalities were rare. Long hours over the books in the newly smoke- lilled rooms of the library hatched a record crop of Phi Betes. ln January Professor .lohnston announced that five out of the twenty-five men graduating had been elected to the society. one of the few that didn't suspend operations in wartime, and so Prichard Couper, Frederick Hayes, Rolf Hubbe, Allan Parker, and Kalixt Synakowski joined the ranks of the key-swingers. The holiday season refresher laid the way for late January's Sturm und Drang sessions with final exams. Eliminations were at a minimum. New men arrived to replenish the ranks of the depleted, and fraternities worried through a miniature rush week. The General, hunched over the wheel of his orange jeep, battled record snow drifts. Newcomers speculated on the vintage of Bull's Packard. Hockey spectators vainly tried to pair the Burns boys off into brother combinations. As the campus melted into a spring quagmire, students looked ahead to the coming summer session, with its golf and tennis. By March track aspirants were pounding the Sage runway. Mox Wleber was holding battery practice in the gym. Warm weather brought with it a facsimile of friendly pre-atomic Hamilton. The college year ended more serenely than it had begun. y ,ff fi ll6 Callaghan. Busha. Hubbard. Kelly, Francis. Freeman. Turkheimer. Belden. ,Q :beau gpdign .. B The gold key of Pi Dell is the print-minded undergrraduatefs emblem- atie reward for outstanding partieipation in publications. 'l'ranslated into terms that 580 wary fellow students can appreeiate, the honorary soeiety eonstitutes a sort. of formal bond among the harried young journalists who alternately swallow no-doze to meet deadlines and then resort to aspirin trying to forget them, mull over layout details and streteh the frayed ends of short budgets, anxiously' inspect galley proofs as they spill from the printers, and otherwise sprout gray hairs in their eapaeity as the instruments responsible for begretting the publiea- tions that student fees make possible. lnstituted at Hamilton in l92l, the ehapter formerly chose its numbers by a metieulous point system and held meetings regularly. The inertia eramping: publi- eations at the years beginning rather obyialed any sueh relined proeedure for the nonee. ln any ease, the seleetions, made from among the men who jumped blindly in last autumn, overlap the Publiealions Board pretty elosely.

War caused it to fall into the innocuous desuetude common to most ex- tracurricular functions, but, although many other colleges have not yet revived their debating groups, Hamilton's platform haranguers were voeiferously on the scene again this year. An executive committee and a debate manager, the plenipotentiaries shown above, were ehosen to make engagements with colleges, high schools, and ehurehes, to select and coach debaters, and to plan a long-range program of extracurricular publie speaking. Their efforts gained them selection to Delta Sigma Rho, national honorar ' debatin societ.

Redmond. llichardson. Bristol, Cooper. Rl'ltag0l'l Sam Kirkland's little white cottage, long dark and dim, witnessed the renewal of Pentagon's firelighted seances this spring. Far less conspicuous t.han other honoraries, Pentagon abjures dangling corks and silver horseshoes, but its small live-sided badge is the envy of all Hamiltonians. ln the final mid-week chapel of each spring, the members of the current year make their selections for their successors. One by one they peel off i11to the aisles lo tap the five outstanding men from that year's junior class. Men are chosen largely on the basis of their contribution to tl1e College with athletic proficiency, personality, and interest in outside activities playing a lesser but necessary part. Outgoing members each year deliberate carefully on the relative achievements of candidates before picking the men to be honored. The influence of Pentagon has been subtly felt in every aspect of college life almost since its inception at the turn of the century. The unusual prominence of its members gives them an influential voice in Hill affairs. When new policies are charted, the chances are that the senior honorary has had a hand in the action. Quiet and unassuming, this august body works with a minimum of publicity and propaganda. Yet, for all this, it is the collegc's outstanding honorary, and its members typify all that is good in the phrase Hamilton Man. 119 Carmer, N. Burns, B. Burns. Vanderwart, Hartshorne, Sehepper. ad od Keepers of the Crew Hal and Big Brothers of the Freshman Class are the six dignitaries here represented, six juniors ordinarily selected at the end of their sophomore year on the basis of outstanding leadership qualities, athletic ability, and personality. Having been duly trampled on by former members of the or- ganization at the tapping ceremony, the new group got together this winter only to find most of the old records gone with the wartime wind and many of the fresh- man activities, of which Wvas Los has been guardian, cancelled. In general, thejob of thejunior honorary has been to make certain that Hamilton's neophytes toe the line and are protected from any but legal sadism. lt also seeks to instill that home away from home atmosphere into the bewildered froggie with a schedule embracing orientation programs in the fall, the flag rush and tug of war, the Wells exchange dance, and various athletic events. To hit this mark, consider- able rehabilitation has been necessary. Co-operation and honest endeavor payed off with consummate success, however, on this springs rapprochemenl with the Aurora institution, an affair that drew panting upperelass as well as freshman support. - Notwithstanding the post-war college muddle, Was Los men are in there pitch- ing their traditional horseshoe and performing a real stabilizing service, reassuming their place as one of the Hill's more active and highly regarded honoraries. 120 Connolly, l orman.

Unharassed by the eagle eye of the all-seeing proctor, Hamilton students romp through examinations and themes, casting their eyes neither to right nor left. Summing up their efforts with the signing of the honor pledge, they submit their work with conscience free, knowing that they are relying on their own trust- worthiness. No intricate seating arrangements or temptation barriers hereg simply the responsibility of the individual student for doing his own work honestly. The present rules for application of the Honor System are a far cry from the obsolete and seemingly ridiculous rules imposed for student conduct at the in- ception of the college in 1813. The institution of an honor system for student self- conduct was a challenge that has been traditionally met by scores of Hamiltonians who consider it one of the most mature enterprises to have arisen on the Hill. To administer the Honor System and point out the rules to the occasional plagiar- ist is the duty of the Honor Court. After conducting a thorough investigation of any violations reported, the Court comes to a decision and reports its findings to the Academic Council, which then acts as it sees fit. Election to the Court is a high honor conferred upon those who have gained the respect of fellow students. The paucity of cases that have come before the Court this year attests the high regard that undergraduates hold for the efficiency of the system. 122 Standing: P. Brooks, D. Gregory, Pigott.

Not until 1938 did the college, persuaded that democracy is here to stay, sanction the formation of an undergraduate organization to act as intermediary between students and the academic council and as a clearing house for problems involving student welfare. This year the Council has come back strong with a new constitution, which em- phasizes a salutary trend in admitting an underclass quota to membership. The Student Council does its work by keeping in touch with student opinion, by consultation with the administration, and then by initiating action. No mere figurehead, it has helped materially this year in the re-establishment of student life and the college community on a pre-war basis. Under the chairmanship of Coogie Williams, it helped to revive freshman traditions, relayed the Thanksgiving recess petition, sponsored the Union game rally a11d dance, initiated class elections, and appointed a Winter Carnival committee. Other goals in its role as the barometer of student concerns have been the commendable attempt to stagger hour examina- tions and the concentration of Hill athletic skill in a Block H club. 123 RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIGNS 5' lla 2, rn, ve, 'n ,i gg J n !

Twice each year it sends delegates to a general confer- ence, one of whom was Boyd Murdoch, leader of the chapter. It also functions as a charitable assemblage and sponsored a drive to gather cast-off books for the stu- dents of Cebu. In 1940, under the able guidance of the Reverend Raymond P. Lawrence of St. Mary's Church in Clinton, the Catholic Students of Hamilton College became affiliated with the National Federation of Newman Clubs, an organization of Catholic culture a11d Catholic fellowship. The Newman Club Federation has stated that one of the clubs' main purposes is to bring Catholic students together through its various social activities a11d to enable them to form friendships more beneficial than chalice acquaintances on campus makes possible. Activities of the NEVVMAN CLLB on the Hill range from yearly Corporate Communions at St. Mary's in Clinton to monthly discussion groups held at the various fraternity houses. Among the topics broached this year were such pertinent subjects as 4'Marriage and Moralsf' 'fPhilosophy of the Churchf' and f'Papal Infallibilityf' The Club gathered for the first time after the war in the spring of 1916. At this Kirkland Cottage meeting plans for the forthcoming year were laid and elections held, with John Musselnian chosen as president. In its promotion of the religious, intellectual, and social betterment of Catholic students, this group acts in accordance with the ideals of its national patron, John Henry, Cardinal Newman. 125 CALLNJA .gzddion The College Church, resuming its meetings after two years of suspension, boasts a membership of over a hundred students. The Church has for its governing body seven undergraduates, and three faculty members. These eonstitute the Church Session. At present the Church, the oldest student organization on the Hill, is more aetive than at its inception in 1825, the year in which the Chapel was built. That its pros- perity inight be made more secure it was placed under the care of the Presbytery of lltica, but the Church is insistent that in fact and practice it is non-sectarian. The fellowship of the Church is open to all who care to affiliate themselves with it and its activities. The Church's main purpose is to give to undergraduates who are away from home and unable to participate in the life of their home church an opportunity to affiliate themselves with a religious body during their stay on the Hill. Three times annually the Church conducts a communion to which all are invited. Guest speakers are brought to the Hill occasionally under its auspices to lead discussion groups. Besides sending delegates to surrounding Student Christian Movement conferences, the Church is instrumental in relaying the ollcrings of Sunday night chapel services to such organizations as the World Student Service Fund, the lftica Boys Club, and the local Community Chest. Progressing steadily and without loud acclaim, tl1e College Church, in its quiet way, continues to be one of fTtlllllll0ll'S most prized and worthy organizations. Denison. B. Davis. Fry. W. Nloorc.

Mr. Patton. pudgcafiond oarcl The dilemma with which the Publications Board began wrestling after its con- vocation last summer is one indigenous to Hamilton publications: How can we have our cake and eat it too? For a college as diminutive as Hamilton to support a newspaper, a literary magaine, and a yearbook is an accomplishment. Its realiz- ation, indeed, even on the austere terms that have prevailed this year, has been made possible only by a mandatory fee imposed upon the college body. Rising prices and tight budgeting soon made it apparent that the operating setup temporarily established at the year's beginning could not permanently work. To find a solution, a committee of the Board weighed past evidence and present forces, emerging with recommendations which have had the effect of setting stu- dents and administration alike to pondering the publications question. Whatever the future, this year has seen publications bloom forth once again, if not in pre-war glory, then at least striving to fulfill their peculiar and vital func- tions: HAMILTONEWS as the weekly account of Hill life, the CONTINENTAL bringing the best of student expression into print for general perusal, and the HAMILTONIAN in its role of recording and critiquing the college year. As the common denominator of these organs, the Publications Board, along with most thoughtful Hamiltonians, is convinced that a college community without any one of them would be appreci- ably attenuated.

F266 OCLPJ Be ye not surprised il' one day you eneounter a blurb about alma mater in the SQUEEDUNK GAZETTE. Hamilton's A. P., the Press Board, probably put it there. Aeeepting its obligation to keep the outside world up to date on campus happen- ings, the Press Board submits eopy to all newspapers clamoring for Hill highlights. News about sports events, soeial aetivities, and anytlmg of general interest may appear in the dozen or more dailies supplied by the Board. lt isn't just by aeeident that Hamilton makes the New Yoak Tunis or the trim DAILY Pnass but merely bet-ause the Board regularly funnels stories to the great waiting publie. liaeh of the six undergraduate members of the Board, under the supervision of George Tillman, is assigned one or more papers to whieh he Contributes. Un the more newsworthy items, like the Hamilton-llnion football game, the members eollaborate to produee articles whieh are submitted to all papers that have ex- pressed interest in the event. Appointment to the Board is eompetitive, the ineumbents suggesting the names of men who are eligible for their successors. Nlembership involves peeuniary as well as literary satisfaetion, for our embryonic reporters meet a few payrolls along with innumerable deadlines. Only the ultimate now remains to the Board: Hamilton headlines from eoast to eoast and it may yet engineer that. D. Parker, Backus, B. Allen. Solon, Babcock. .. amiaonewd The first college news magazine, product of a 1942 merger between the old HANIILTON LIFE and CONTINENTAL, resumed publication last October and has regularly appeared siIIce in its magazine form. Soon after the publication of the initial issue by Robert Pigott and Ralph Shulansky, who had helped to carry the paper through the spring coma of 1946, a permanent editorial staff was appointed and a reportorial staff organized. Under William Freeman, several innovations were attempted in the format and content of HAIINEWS. A Man of the Week series feaured a cover sketch and brief kudos on the lead sheet for outstanding Hamiltonians. The office i11 Silliman Hall was a start towards what the staff hopes will be a technical and organizational heritage for future Hamilton journalists. From tenuous beginnings, H,ANINEW'S has developed gradually. Having pulled the paper up by its own boot-straps, Freeman resigned in February and was succeeded by Publications Board appointee Nathan Turkheimer. With an enlarged staff and enlivened by new techniques of news gathering and writing, Turkhemimefs labor of love came in, with March, like a lion. Since that time the paper has been an increasingly accurate and well-managed chronicle of Hill happenings. its staff now awaits the fall of 1947, at which time the weekly news organ will revert to its traditional unslick newspaper form.

This record size caused it to spill out of the stalls provided for it on the ground floor a11d even to overflow into the more lofty regions of the balcony. Nothing daunted, director Professor Berrian R. Shute was pleased to state that at one time so great was the resonance I could hear the chapel windows rattle. A custom hallowed ever since the Woollcottian era has been the annual trip to New York City to give joint concerts and radio broadcasts. Its cancellation this year because of adverse financial conditions came as a disappointment to expectant alumni and to undergraduate members alike. Even so, the season has been a full and enjoyable one. Early in November the choir gave its first broadcast over station WIBX, Utica, with subsequent return engagements. On December 8 the Wells College Chorus and the Hamilton College Choir joined vocal forces at Aurora to present a joint Christmas vespers service. Just before recess, in a setting of fir boughs, tapers, and hautboys, the choir presented its Christmas concert that has become so indispensable a11d enriching a complement to Hill holiday festivities. lts performance of the Verdi Requiem in conjunction with the Utica Civic Orchestra this spring climaxed the year's program. Hamilton's choir is unique in never having succumbed to the Glee Club temp- tation, although units from it have entertained at informal gatherings in tl1e past. lt functions most constantly, however, as musical background for the Sunday evening services. Benditions of works from Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mendelssohn and others enhance the services immeasurably and never fail to elicit praise from the visiting speakers. Mr. Baldwin. 'slr. Slintv. 1232 Music 3-at, the choir's catalogue designation, earns its members two l1ours of credit a year in return for the Sunday presentations and attendance at preparatory rehearsals, so that over a period of three years continuous membership allows the student academic credits equivalent to those given for a one year classroom course. This is a somewhat superlluous inducement, for the majority of choir members consider the pleasure and training they derive from participation recompense enough for their efforts. Outstanding among the choir's personnel this year were Merwin Gelfen,baritone, J. Mason Webster, tenor, and Allen Schepper, bass, all of whom drew generous acclaim for their solo performances during the choir's appearances. Also deserving of praise is Lee Hastings Bristol, Jr., for his distinguished organ and piano accom- paniment. ' With so ambitious a start already realized, it is evident that, under the direction of Mr. Shute, the college's most. famed organization is well onthe way to regaining its high pre-war status. Soon it will be carrying Hamilton's name throughout, the East, providing aesthetic pleasure for tl1e ev er-widening audiences before which it, performs. 133 Watt-liworcl aroulul tlu- Hoot llall studios ol' tlu- collegu- lmrozulm-asting station siiuw- its rt-zu'tiYation in FtlllI'll?lI'j, IOI6, lu-is 1-onstanlly lu-en rt-lxuilcl.

A hebdomedal tie-in with WIBX helped to make the Mohawk Valley Hamilton-conscious. WHC's unique appeal has been strong enough to attract a staff surpassing a hundred, each department of which tusseled with its own particular troubles. Program planning was the special province of Herman Vanderwart, Robert G. Johnson, and Bernard B. Hawley. Supplying vital funds at all times and keeping the announcers stocked with advertising copy were business managers Scott Brewer and John Drews, Jr. In the unsung hero category came the engineers, upon whom fell the monumental task of keeping the station on the air. Led by William F. Kellerhals, Jr., and Joseph C. Baho, the dial-twirlers groped their way to the catacombs each morning at 7:30 to commence the broadcasting day. It's been a long step from crates and boxes to installations that would do credit to a commercial plant. Upheld by administrative approval and the best of technical advice, Hamilton College's largest extracurricular activity is already proving to be a real co-ordinating force in campus life. 135 Cdarfafana That Hill mummers should have executed a musical performance of The Tem- pcsti' this spring is not surprising to the college community. Attempting the unusual has long since become their specialty. Regularly, -in fact, since the century's in- fancy histrionically inclined undergraduates have been bringing the theater to Hamilton. Despite lack of theatre space and the consequent complications involved in the construction of sets and rehearsing of parts, the Charlatans have perennially managed to produce at least two shows a year. ln wartime dramatic activity was cramped somewhat, since no assurance existed that the olive drab actors might not be whisked away just before opening night for command performances elsewhere. Now, with their membership again inflated, Charlatans are trodding the boards just as they have ever since 1907, the year in which the organization ran up its curtain as H11 institution with a piece coyly entitled 6'Mice Will Play. Hill apocrypha has it that the magic name of Wioollcott, with supporting female parts by Professor Rudd, often cropped up on the local playbill in tl1e years immediately following. t Last year Professor Bowie led oil' the buskind stage to new glory with what can only be described as a tour de force, Sophocles, Oedipus Rex. Adornment pro- vided by Professor Shute's original score, sung and played by a choir and orchestra underd his direction, combi?-ed with excellentdperfornrgnceilby the fprinciples. to provi e a moving evenmg or a receptive au lence. ie I usion o c HSSIC sim- plicity was carried even to the point of converting the gymnasium into a Greek theatre for the tragedy.

Sf Hkrins and the Man, for which company and spectators transferred to the Clinton High School auditorium. Connie Wells' attractive performance as Raina opposite John Gorton, in the role of Bluntschli, was soothing evidence of a new era in Charlatans' produc- tions. With a talented quota of student wives to draw upon, they need no longer strain the vraisemhlance to its bass-voiced breaking point as in the past, when many a spindly and daintily hirsute creature has tripped on stage as the heroine. The high standard of entertainment achieved by direction, cast, and stage manage- ment in the Shaw play would have sufliced for one seasons accomplislnnent, hut the Charlatans worked lo a climax with Shakespeares Tempest Done as was 0edipus with music by Professor Shute, The Tempest was also presented in the Alumni Gymnasium, no small engineering feat in itself. Ideally adapted to a musical setting, its poetical and imaginative qualities received em- phasis, although the Masque of the fourth act Mr. Bowie chose to eliminate. Charlatan ingenuity applied to the original context yielded a standard of good theatrei' rarely surpassed on the Hill. The Charlatans will continue, they say, to offer classics rather than warmed-over recent Broadway vehicles. Notwithstanding limited facilities, the group laudahly enough feels it would rather expend its blood, sweat, and grease paint on dramatic art instead of on passing commercial successes. Life upon the wicked stage, they'x'e found, is elusive and demanding, hestowing only to the most ardent its reward: the deep pleasure in a job well done. College Hill is a richer place for their elforts. 137 s ' ' 7' 'i ' , AFA, 1. .. Z?.W! Hamcoll's white-pantalooned marching society was one of the more colorful ac- tivities to flare up once again last fall. When the call for aspirants was trumpeted, over twenty new hopefuls reported to swell the slender core of three former mem- bers. A brief organizational meeting held early in October resulted in the appoint- ment of Clarence Aldridge as student leader and Allan Parker as manager. Faculty guidance has come from the capable hands of Mr. Baldwin. His wide experience in directing both here and abroad has proved invaluable in solidifying the band. While in the armed forces in Europe he had complete charge of a regi- mental glee club which performed in Vienna and at the famed Salzburg Music Festival. Headed by the nimble baton of Clarence Aldridge, the blue-coats came on in public formation for the first time while beating cadence for breathless pajamed freshmen at the Union game rally. 'On December 19 a Christmas-minded college community heard with pleasure the band's accompaniment to the candlelighted choral concert. Subsequent formal appearances, not to mention impromptu vari- ations on themes in the aged halls of North College, have again entrenched the Sousophiles of Hamilton as Hill morale builder number one. 138 Standing: Gow, Torpatz.

Its timeliness and appeal in promoting undergraduate understand- ing of and interest in international afl'airs are not lost on the students, about fifty of whom regularly attend bi-weekly meetings in the Francis Folsom Baker Hem- orial Room. Under the advisorship of Mr. Lenczowski these sessions have taken the form either of discussions or some current international issue, or of an informal talk by a guest speaker. ln the spring of 1946 the club was revived, meeting then merely as a discussion group. Then with the fall session temporary co-chairmen were chosen to super- vise the formulation of a permanent constitution for the club. The document was adopted early this spring, at which time officers were also elected. The l. Pm. C. does not confine its energies to problems merely academic. Last autumn several undergraduates acccompanied Mr. Lenczowski to Lake Success, to observe at first-hand the functioning of an international body. This spring club representatives Elton Francis, William Donnelly, James flow, and Stanley Hubbard attended the Model United Nations Assembly at Swarthmore, this time in the role of delegates from Iran. 139 Prqlkfssurs llurlmm anfl .'lItlHlAVI!1l.V lulk urclifzenloyy wilh llr, llerill, Jzcfure eried Une factor that malws a m'oIlt'gg'tf Inorv than a rmigfloille-ratinn of rlassrooms is tht' vduratinnal appt-al it 0ll'c'rs nntsidv the- Ievturv hall.

Generations of Hamilton men have maligned alma mater as a mountain-bound monastery, but il just isn't so. If anything, Hamilton's lofty isolation serves as just the pretext needed when the hermit student, fancying he can no longer brook uninterrupted classroom tedium, utters the call to hedonism, Let's throw a party! The houseparty, one of the few practices able to thrive throughout the war, came back with a bang last October, when the fraternities wasted no timein organizing the first of the thrice-annual blowouts. To fill the gaps between these intense affairs of a week-end, Saturday evening brew sessions in the houses serve as the ideal catharsis. liver since 1938, VVinter Carnival has been the 11e plus ultra of Hill after-hours life. This year George Merrill and his co-victims designated by the Student Council developed contracted brows devising a spectacle that embraced a figure skating exhibition, a square dance, several athletic attractions, and a crowning event, the Snow Ball, witl1 Alvino Rey and company providing music. On February 22, while the forward edge of the year's worst gale whipped about the alumni gym, President Worcester placed the Carnival crown on Miss Barbara Nelson and awarded the sculpture trophy to the Psi ll's for their Toonerville Trolley rendered in snow. With so magnificent a kermess in fond memory and with a spring party yet in store, what Hamiltonian might not declare, No cloister, this. Babcock, Tarsehes, Hutchinson, Ewing. Merrill, F.

Hamilton, at last blessed with a resident female popu- lation, has been spiked with a dash of seasoning that is strictly an anaehronism in a long and stolid history. Soprano eries eeho up the stairwells, perambulators rest outside the doorways, and erisp chiffon has supplanted stolen street signs for deeoratiye purposes. The girl in elass is no longer ogled, and, while we don't stumble over the sunning baeks as frequently as Buttriek's basement would have its Tunis' readers believe, still the incidence of playsuits around the ivied walls is great enough to remind us that the old order has changed, but pleasantly. The tleneral's men nmst duels drying laundry, HAMNEWS has a gossip eolumn, and Charlatans have real female eharaeters. Hamilton need no longer suffer infamy as The Hermitagef, When the barraeks of Camp Dewey have erumbled back into the ferruginous dust of their Uriskany hilloek foundation, Hamilton will still remember all that the student wives added to life about the quads.
