Hobart College - Echo of the Seneca Yearbook (Geneva, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 141 of the 1955 volume:

INTRODUCTORY DEDICATION 9 ° 1950 1955 Hobart College, perched atop the high west bank of Seneca I ake, seems to the outlamler identical with any small liberal arts institution. To its family, however, Hobart has far more than just a stone and concrete foundation. The ideal of “a college by which the means of intelligence and honorable distinction will be accorded to posterity” has been retained throughout Hobart’s 12.5 year existence. Never relenting in this its objective, to offer each student a means of increasing his knowledge of nature, man and God, Hobart College has maintained the standards set forth by its founder, the lit. Rev. John Henry Hobart. The Western Civilization program characterizes the efforts of the college in furthering man's intellectual and spiritual achievements. The conception of man as a rational being who seeks and attains his highest felicity through the exercise and perfection of his reason is afforded the student from both a scientific and a philosophic approach. The mind, spirit and character are cultivated and developed solhat the individual becomes master of an ever increasing amount of knowledge, is able to examine this store of knowledge, becomes capable of arriving at responsible and accurate judgements and thence acts accordingly as his reason dictates. The culmination of one’s college career represents the closing chapter of this four year period of mental and social matriculation; a closing chapter which also may be read as the eventual role each graduate will assume in society. It was the considered opinion of the majority of those concerned, that this yearbook be dedicated to the task of faithfully representing the aforementioned obdurate ideals of the liberal arts system that have been ensconced in campus activity. It is our sincere desire that this object has been fulfilled. The Editors TABLE OF CONTENTS When the freshman arrives on campus he immediately comes into contact with one or more of the following facets of college life—officers and faculty, students, activities, honor societies, social life, and sports. It isn’t until the end of his four year sojourn that the student really begins to feel that he is a part of all six of these categories. For the uninitiated and the experi- enced then, allow us to reveal as well as to bring into recall, Hobart 1952-1955. Our guide on this tour will be the fabled Statesman. He seems to know the way down memory lane . . .

Stoltz, Commander This year marked the fourth anniversary of Hobart’s Air Force U.O.T.C. unit. Established in 1951, Ilie A.F.U.O.T.C. this year lias shown con- siderable expansion in its activities. The unit has incorporated a larger office to be administered for and by the cadets. The innova- tion of frequent rotation of the commanding posi- tion of cadet colonel has been established. This year has brought about limited openings for com- missioned officers in the chaplain and scientific fields. During the interim members of the unit traveled to Bartow Air Force Base near Tampa, Florida, for the purpose of giving the cadets an oppor- tunity to become familiar with Air Force base procedures and activities. A similar trip to the New Orleans area is planned for the near future. Among the activities which showed considerable improvement and development were the Arnold Air Society, the rifle team, and the drill team. 19 - C FRESHMEN Row 1: Mcssineo, Baum, Robert.s, George, Ross, Keller, Cole.

Robert Terhune; Secretary Treasurer 41 I The Board of Control, founded in the early years of the century, is the student governmental association, acting as both student advisor to the administration, and controll- ing force behind most campus activities. This year the Board, under its president Jack Wright, made long needed amendments and revisions to its out- dated constitution. The amendments and revisions were employed to make the constitution more workable in matters of parliamentary procedure, and to define the sta- tus, scope and the authority of all the governmental organizations on campus. In order to combat student apathy in election, the Board revised election procedures to arouse more interest on campus. Among the new rules, one is that a candidate for any office on campus has to make a speech disclosing the issues at hand and his platform. The Board also enlarged its scope and kept labs, and made suggestions on the financial outlay of various organ- izations such as W.E.O.S. and the Herald. Board members on the Academic Policy Committee have made suggestions and are working on the proposed changes in the marking system of the college. This year for the first, time, the Board, feeling the stu- dent’s need for available transportation to away sports events, set up a. committee to take charge of arranging for busses to transport students at a reasonable fee. The Board also aided the college radio station, W.E.O.S. to rise Phoenix like out of its own ashes, and get on its feet. The governmental association granted appropriations out of the student fund, to the station, in order that it. might acquire long needed equipment, to enable it to run at peak performance. At the time of this writing, the Board of Control sent representatives to the National Student Association, with I lie hope of joining with William Smith in membership, in order that both colleges might reap the benefits of the N.S.A 44 MEMBERS SENIOR CLASS REPRESENTATIVES: Jack Wright Roy Dexheimer Edward Pollack John Tolmie James Ritter Todd Brinkerhoff JUNIOR CLASS REPRESENTATIVES: Jeff Stansburv Jack Kennell Robert Kashimoto Phil Hyatt Gust Servis SOPHOMORE CLASS REPRESENTATIVES Si mm Landres Michael Keenan Warren Herendeen Peter Gardner FRESHMAN CLASS REPRESENTATIVES: Harry Bowie Michael Letts Franklin Berry I.

GENEVA, N. Y.. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1055 No. 15 Revised IFC Constitution Presented; Omega Psi Granted Local StatUS,' Work Projects Devised For Pledqes .1 r The Interfraternity Council of Hobart College failed to endorse the petition of Omega I'si Society as a member of the Phi Epsilon Pi National Fralernit on the Hobart campus. Also at this week’s meet- in , a newly revised constitutor of the I Ft as presented to that body by President Dvxheimer. A motion was also passed by the IFC establishing Saturday. March 5th. 1955 as a day for a downtown work detail by all the fraternity pledges. On Tuesday night past, February t wenty-soeoml, Fred Daiizige� . the; piesidunt of Omega Psi Society at tended the IFC meeting to an-wer questions concerning the applica- tion of Ins recognized Social Clue to become a chapter of Phi Epsilon Pi. There ensued a long discussion on the subject, during which presi- dent Dexheimer made it abundant- ly clear that under its constitution, the IFC cannot accept or reject Omega Psi’K petition. It can only endorse or recommend it to the HOC, or it can render an unfavor- able endorsement of the petition. This latter course was the one fol- lowed by the members of the IFC when a vote was taken on Tuesday night. The representatives of the U n mom be i fraternities voted -1 against the motion of endorsing the Omega Psi petition. The Coun- cil then moved to instruct their representative to the BOC to ren- dei th. negative vote of the IFC al the Board meeting on the fol- Decision Up To Trustees this week voted to recognize Omega Psi as a local fraternity on t was attended by some forty interested spectators, the Board elve to four.

Work Projects The IFC has contacted various civic organizations in Geneva con- cerning the possibility of sending all the fraternity pledges down- town to accomplish some kind of beneficial and constructive work. This is a definite step by the IFC in the direction of cementing the public relations between the city of Geneva, the School and the college fraternities. William Smith and Representatives To Hobart Dispatch NSA Conference The members of the Co-ordina- ting Committee of the William Smith Student Council and the Ho- bart Board of Control attended the District Conference of the Nation- al Student Association held at Syracuse University on Saturday. February nineteenth. Their express purpose was to obtain ideas on Stu- dent Government and to become familiar with (he functions of the NSA. Heather Moden, Carol licis. Sally MeConkcy and Kate Harrington were the delegates from the Wil- liam Smith Student Council, which .s already a member of the NSA. Dwight Collins and Simm Lamiros represented the Ilohart Board of Control, which is contemplating membership. The main purpose of this Association of Student Govern- ments i to hold regional and dis- trict conferences and an annual convention, so that students from colleges and universities can ex- change ideas and viewpoints on student government and many other facets of college affairs. The above named delegates at- tended a general session on the morning of February nineteenth at Syracuse which explained the constitutional setup of the NSA and its domestic and international programs. In the afternoon, there were four panel discussions, rang- ing from campus publicity to inter- national affairs, all of which were covered by the delegates. Great Expectations Cnon returning the delogates emphasized the tremendous po- tential of the NSA and the help that it can give student govern- ments in the handling of student affairs. There are over one hun- dred and fifty information sources made available to the three hun- dred member colleges of the NSA. The NSA ran ' 'e colleve irovrrn- of an Inter-Fraternity Council and flic various types of ROTC pro- grams. They also have sot up a world-wide travel program, through which college students can travel to foreign countries during theii summers at cut-rate privies. The NSA, said our delegates, is a huge pool of ingoing and outgo- ing ideas which ran be utilized to a great constructive extent by the students of its member schools. the Hobart Yacht Club. Some ad- vantages of feminine membership were mentioned indicating that there would be nothing inappro- priate about William Smith girls in the club. Anyone who wishes to join the club would have to pass an extensive swimming test and would have to have some previous knowledge about sailing. There would also be Initiation fee from $5 to $25. Council voted to accept the constitution of the Yacht Club. A second question o! importance that was mentioned whs the re- fusal of (tie Dean’s inmi'.tee to accept the proposed change- in late permissions which shall re- main as they have been up to now. The main objection of the admin- istration to the proposed changes was that the faculty and the trus- tees do not wish io see William Smith iCirls jri bars after midnight. The Student Council elected Bar- bara Hicks as its secretary and Ruth Fonnema ns the parliamen- tarian. The chairman for the Big Sister Committee was also riomin- ated. The final selection of the chairrn Heath, the si each h- pureha for Me recognition ns a local fraternity subject to regulations which will he imposed. If all regulations are met, it will be permitted to affil- iate itself with a national fratei- rity. Omega Psi has announced that they wish to become a chap- ter of Phi Epsilon Pi International Fraternity. Fred Danzigei, President of Omega Psi, made it clear that his group is completely non-sectarian, lie acknowledged that though Phi Epsilon Pi is predominantly Jew- ish the national would in no way interfere with any part of their rushing or pledging policy. Economics Todd Brinkerhoff led the attack against recognizing Omega Psi. lie based bis opposition on an ec- onomic standpoint. Brinkerhoff stated that if Omega Psi drew twenty men from the campus, it would hurt, the already existing fraternities. The administration would forte all pledges who would normally cat at their house, to cat in the cafeteria. This would add to the financial losses many houses are now suffering. Ed Pollack retorted that econ- omics is secondary to the student’s social life. Pollack said that if the social life of twenty or thirty stu- dents could be enhanced by an- other house on campus, there should be one. Pollack was backed up by Jerry Stiidk, the neutral body represent- at vo to the Board. He pointed out that fifty per cent of the student body,Is non-fraternity. Of this {K?r- ccntage, he said, ninety per cent desired to join fraternities and have the benefits that, go along with them. The affirmative votes for Omega IV i were cast h Frank Berry, Harry Bowie, Dwight Collins, War- ren Hercndeen. Boh Kashirnoto. Mike Keenan, Simm Lund res. Mike Letts, Ed Pollack. Jeff SLuwbury, Jerry St rick, and Jim Ritter. The negative votes were cast by Todd B� inker hot f. Gus Servis. Phil H - att. and John Tolmie. The lone ab- stainer was Pete Gardner.

H-BOOK REVIEW The Hobart Review is a student publi- cation aimed at furthering the interest of students in the field of literary expression. The Review contains stories and poems submitted by the students in addition to selections written by the outstanding authors of the past and present. The Re- view has been in existence since 1950. It was originally a yearly publication, but its outstanding early success made it possible to publish it biannually. The Hobart Review is partially sup- ported by the student tax. The magazine usually contains a variety of works sub- mitted by the students. Peter Pollack, Edward Pollack (Fall Editor), John Wright, Warren Herendeen (Spring Editor). 50 POT Pot magazine was founded by a small group of Hobart students. Since that time it has had an infamous history at Hobart, but has been accepted by other colleges as one of the top humor magazines in the nation. Last year proved to be almost fatal to the magazine, when it was labeled “degenerate” and banished from the Wil- liam Smith campus. Suggestions were offered to Pot by the Board of Adminis- tration in an attempt to clean it up. Since then the editors have appeared to have accepted the advice extended to them, as this year saw a general rise in the brand of humor published.

STAGE-WHISPERS Created seven years ago, Stage Whispers is the sole theatrical publication of Ho- bart and William Smith Colleges. The book accompanies all the major campus productions of its publisher, Little Thea- tre. In addition to its ordinary capacity as a playbill, Stage Whispers incorporates background material, art, poetry, and other student literary contributions under the direction of a different program editor for each issue. 51 LITTLE THEATRE Lit,tie Theatre, the dramatic workshop of the Colleges of the Seneca, is organized Lo provide interested and talented sLudenls with experience and training in all of the many facets of the creative, technical, and com- mercial theatre. Producing major and experimental works of established and new authors, the Little Theatre and its subsidiary branches present dramatic works of lasting interest to both the college and the town. Under the capable guidance of its director, E. E. Griffith, the dra- matic group presented this year one major production and Shakespeare’s “Othello” is planned. The highlight of this season was the production of William Saroyan’s “The Time of Your Life,” which, incidentally, was also revived on Broadway this year. The Experimental Theatre, jointly sponsored by Little Theatre and English 184, continued its tradition by presenting Irwin Shaw’s “Bury the Dead,” produced and directed by two senior students, Joseph B. Wattenberg and C. Leroy Dexheimer. 53 W. E. O. S This year saw a rebirth for the “radio voice” of the colleges. In all senses of the term, this year was truly a “Banner Year” for WEOS. Last year WEOS man- aged to decline to the-lowest point in its short history. In September the sta- tion struggled to its feet, but was still riddled with inefficiency within its execu- tive board. Finally after three changes in its administration within an eighteen month period, the radio station settled down with a new Station Manager, and a competent staff of department heads. At the start of the second semes- ter WEOS constructed a new “Radio Center,” consisting of new studios, offices and completely new equipment. At the time of this writing the “radio voice” of the colleges is contemplating a change in call letters and is arranging a telo- type machine, that will probably go into operation in the fall.

The Debating Society of Hobart and William Smith, Col- legium Oratorium was established at the beginning of the century. The purpose of the society is to offer students a chance to participate in discussion on controversial topics, in an attempt to gain a belter understanding of these issues, and to increase their ability to express their feelings and beliefs. The group has had repeated success in many interesting intercollegiate debates and tournaments. The debaters have in the past engaged Cornell, Harvard, Uni- versity of Rochester, Canisius, Brandeis and the Potter Memorial Debate held every Spring on the Hobart Col- lege campus. During the 1954-55 school year, the Collegium Oratorium debated against the bigger schools of the country instead of the traditional small school opponents. The topic, Re- solved: “Ihe U. S. should extend diplomatic recognition to the Communist Government of Red China?” The de- baters have increased their membership over previous years and the group is gaining in popularity on the Hobart and William Smith campuses. This competition includes participation in the Saint Lawrence tournament, the Brooklyn College tournament and a trip to the Boston area. 55 ST.

TEMPLE CLUB The Temple Club has been offering many unique and enjoyable times to its members, based on the belief that a broad education is the most meaningful. Many aspects of past and present Judaism are discussed and debated by the members and guest speakers at regular meetings. Members who are unable to attend are kept in- formed of all events in the newly instituted Temple Club Newspaper. With its broadly planned pro- gram and with the traditional Fri- day night services which it sponsors, the Temple Club offers many social, cultural, and religious advantages to those who desire them. 57 SCHOLA CANTORUM Schola Cantorum, a choir and con- cert group composed of members of both colleges, was founded in 1940 by a merger of the Hobart Glee Club and the William Smith Choral Club. Experienced in the singing of sacred and secular music, the group gen- erally offers two concert programs a year; at Christmas time and in the Spring. In the past school year 1954-55, the group presented its annual Christmas Caroling Service at Trin- ity Church and a half-hour of re- corded Christmas music which was broadcasted from the tower of Coxe Hall. During the Easter vacation. Scho- la Cantorum was privileged to give a special performance at the Dawn Easter Service at Radio City Music Hall, sponsored by the Protestant Council of New York City. The group also presented the Evensong Music on Easter Day at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in New York City.

Garrison, G. Mulleary, R. Magliozzi, R. Croft, M. Lapp, C. Pascoe. In 1952, Ron Mombello, a Hobart senior, felt the need on this campus for a group, modelled after such singing ensembles as Colgate’s “13” and Yale’s “Baker’s Dozen.” The seeds planted by the “Hobarteers” were living only in memory. Ron’s “Statesmen 13” brought the memory into a reality. The 4 “Hobarteers” were transformed into the 13 “Statesmen.” The year of its inception saw only limited success and acceptance. Five performances were given in the immediate area. Toward the end of the year, new energy was obtained through the force of Mr. Donald Merriam, long-time director of a local church, and a graduate of Juilliard. With this added impetus, the two-year period of 1953-55 has seen a growth toward maturity. On campus, the “Statesmen” are fully accepted, and lend helping voices to college-sponsored events. They keep up morale by their many impromptu song festi- vals. For greater adaptability, the group was reduced to nine members plus alter- nates. 58 c H A P E L C H 0 1 R Row 1: Morton, Krahmer, Odell-, Sanford, Gary, Morrison, fiance, Dayton, Smith, Dickerson.

The Finger Lakes Five Plus One felt that this music of America belonged in college, and the appreciation of the students has borne out this theory. Besides their alma mater, the Five have played at various colleges, such as Cornell, Wells, Keuka, etc., plus engage- ments at the famous Jimmy Ryans in New York City and the Golden Grill in Rochester, N. Y. The men who make up this self- supporting group are deeply inter- ested in seeing that the Five becomes a permanent college organization. . Lienau—Drums, P. Pratt—Trombone, It. 0'Brim—Banjo, It.

The Hobart Marching Band, under the direction of Leland Flora and drum major, Paul Pratt, was one of the most active organizations on campus this year. Participating at home football games, the band was kept busy playing “March, Men of Hobart,” this being indicative of the many touchdowns that led Hobart to an undefeated season. Highlighting the band’s season was the gala Band Day performance held on Home- coming Weekend. This included a performance by four regional high school bands in coordination with the Hobart Marching Band. During this event, the band also accompanied the Schola Cantorum in a tribute to Sigmund Romberg. Hobart’s Marching Band was ex- tremely active during Parent’s Weekend, performing in the R.O.T.C. dress review during half-time of the Ham- ilton game, and in the evening presentation of Rom- berg’s music for the parents at Geneva High School. Another highlight of the band’s season was on October 30th when they accompanied the Hobart Football Team to St. Lawrence University, where it helped to spirit the team to its hard fought victory. 60 Flute Underberg Bimston ('larinet Bodine Calkins Bclluscio Pilati Turack Langa Latham Kriegsman Cheney ('ornet Magliozzi Kansler Willing Myers Percussion Lineau—Snare Drum Schneider—Bass Drum Formally organized during the winter of 1949-50, the Hobart and William Smith Concert Band was an out- growth of the Hobart Sinfonia, a small band of musi- cians closely allied with the Civic Symphony of Geneva. Under the capable direction of Professor Leland W. Flora and with the inclusion of William Smith students, the Concert Band rapidly gained the interest of many prospective virtuosos. Over the past five years the members of the Concert Band have adequately shown their worth as musicians at highly successful w - concerts at which they have won acclaim for the andling of difficult, classical works as well as in the generally accepted field of band music. This year’s concert, held on March 11th in Williams Hall, boasted compositions by Bach, Handel, Beetho- ven, and Tenaglia, in addition to several well known marches. Featured was a “Tribute to Glenn Miller” which included such all-time Miller favorites as “Tux- edo Junction,” “Jersev Bounce,” and “Little Brown Jug.” Arens—Cymbal Selch—Tympany Bassoon La fiord Smith Horn Mills Pratt Hyde Baritone Sud low Fink Van Rensellear Trombone Sisson Scharf Mosher Ililken Woodard Butow Parton Alto Sa.v Landy Tenor Sa.v Henschel Daiboch Tuba Shelton Beedon THE CONCERT BAND 61 Scaled: Robert Sudlow (President), Lyle Sisson (Vice-President), Andrew liodine.

The honorary fraternity for members of the Hobart Marching Band was accepted as the seventy-eighth chapter of the national honorary fraternity, Kappa Kappa Psi, during May, 1953. It was installed as the Gamma Epsilon Chapter of the Kent University Chap- ter in Ohio. Kappa Kappa Psi is designed to promote good fellow- ship, and to aid the band in any way possible. The fra- ternity has honored bandsmen by offering trophies to the outstanding bandsman of the week, and has also offered trophies to high schools for outstanding work in band activities. Last year the executives of the Hobart chapter were again delegated to participate in the National Inter- collegiate Band, sponsored by the national convention of Kappa Kappa Psi. President of the organization is Robert Sudlow. Lyle Sisson is the Vice-President. 62 A R N 0 L D A 1 R S 0 C 1 E T Y In the spring of 1954, a group of six Advanced AFROTC Cadets at Hobart College organized the Robert Hugh Taylor Squadron of the Arnold Air Society. The Squad- ron was named after Lieut. Robert II. Taylor of Ge- neva, who lost his life in action in the Adriatic Sea during the Second World War. The Arnold Air Society is an honorary military fra- ternity, drawing its membership from the Advanced Corps of the AFROTC program. Its purpose is to bring about a closer relationship between those cadets in training for commissions in the United States Air Force. The Society is represented on some 105 campuses throughout the United States with a total membership of well over 10,000 cadets. One of the most important traditions of the Society is the national Conclave held in a different city and area of the country each year. This year the Fifth Annual Conclave was held at Wash- ington, D.C., where over 2500 Cadets gathered to dis- cuss changes in the AFROTC program with leading Air Force personnel.

Although not yet officially recognized as a collegiate activity because of its relatively recent appearance on the campus, the Hobart Drill Team was formed in No- vember, 1954, as a campus function. The Team is composed of twenty members of the stu- dent body and is under the supervision of two Korean War Veterans, Ellis S. Hammond and Carmine Dan- drea. Its purpose is to represent the student body and, more particularly, Hobart’s AFROTC detachment in intercollegiate competition with other drill teams and to represent the College at parades and other Civic functions where such a unit is desired. 64 CHEERLEADERS Kneeling: Toni Barkin, Phyllis Law, Mary Turack, Barbara Wilcox, Mary Lou Hillman.

The question of cheerleaders was again one of the major issues confronting the student governing bodies of Wil- liam Smith and Hobart. Finally, for the first time in the history of the Colleges, a squad from William Smith joined the Hobart squad for the entire football season. The first appearance of the co-educational cheerleaders at the Buffalo game was received with much enthusiasm and was said by many to have raised school spirit. The squad of ten tried several new stunts and appeared at all pep rallies in order to increase the cheering, and the re- mainder of the season continued with success. However, the Hobart squad had to continue the enthusiastic cheerleading throughout the basketball season without their female companions from William Smith.

Its goal has been to stimulate interest in science and research among students of both colleges by recognizing outstanding student accomplishments in this field. It has attempted to show the correlation of various fields of science by facilitating meetings of students interested in science where topics familiar to all may be discussed. Meetings are usually held once a month and consist either of talks by outstanding scientists, stu- dent reports, or discussions criticized by faculty members. Epsilon Pi Sigma holds a banquet in the Spring of every year. Scaled: Kenneth Spitzer, Ann Oppenheimer, John Abbott. Standing: Evelyn Sanford, Solomon Horwitz, Sidney Isaacs, Lois Nellis, Pat Lussow. Phi Delta, the Honorary Journalistic Society at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, was founded in 1947. Its objectives are to give recognition to students who have made out- standing contributions to college journalism, and to encourage further efforts in this and related fields. Students who have held posi- tions on two or more college publications, or whose work otherwise merits recognition, are qualified for membership and may be elected to the society by its present members.

PHI DELTA 72 DELTA PHI ALPHA Delta Phi Alpha is the honorary German language society which was founded in 1929 at Wofferd College, South Carolina. The Beta Phi chapter was established at Hobart College in May 1940 through the efforts of Dr. Alexander L. Harris, Mr. Fredereck Lehnert, and the late Professor Edward Williamson. The purposes of Delta Phi Alpha are to honor excellence in German; to promote the study of German language, civilization, and literature; and to foster a sympathetic appreciation of German culture. The membership of Beta Phi therefore, is limited to those stu- dents who have shown ability and interest not only in the German language itself, but also in German culture. Prob- ably the greatest asset of Delta Phi Alpha or any other honorary society is that they give the student an incentive for higher scholarship. Martha Gary, Phyllis Holtz, .lack lioenninghofen. William Hoebbel. Phi Sigma Iota, the national honorary Romance Language society, was founded in 1929 at Allegheny College. The chapter at Hobart and William Smith, Phi Eta, was es- tablished in 1939. The society’s objectives have been to erect a bond between nations who speak Romance Languages and to encourage scholarship in this field through research and discussion. Each member prepares a research paper once a year and presents it at one of the monthly meetings. Scaled: Virginia Krclimcr, Jack lioenninghofen.

Its purposes are to foster the study of economics in the college; to encourage scholarship and the association of students for the advancement by research and practice; and to further a higher stand- ard of ethics and culture in the community. During the year, members hear addresses on the various phases of the business world to- day. Sealed: Howard Davidson, Floyd Smilli (President).

The activities of this chapter are designed to further their understanding of the Social Sciences. Members will take trips to local industries, listen to lectures by experts in the field and attend presentations of perti- nent motion picture films. There will also be reports presented on certain designated sub- jects. Seated: Nancy Alkinbcrg, Howard Davidson, F.dythe Zimmerman, Norman Romano.

It is one of the numerous chapters belonging to the Association of International Rela- tions Clubs. The I.R.C. is also affili- ated with the Collegiate Council for the United Nations, the Foreign Policy Association and the American Association for the United Nations. These National organizations pro- mote the understanding of Interna- tional affairs among its member chapters. The purpose of the International Relations Club is to foster an intelli- gent understanding of international events among the student body.

The Hobart chapter was founded in 1844 and is the third oldest on campus. 87 I.F.C. The Inter-Fraternity Council of Hobart College is the central co-ordinating body of Hobart’s fraternities. The I.F.C. is composed of representatives from each of the ten fraternities on campus. Its duties include legislation, for- mulation of rushing policies, and the regulation of social activities. During the year 1954-55, the body initiated a new de- ferred rushing system on a one-year trial basis. The aims of this policy were to strengthen the I.D.C., the Freshman Class, and to ease the financial burden of the fraternities. The I.F.C. also passed definite drinking regulations de- signed to enhance public relations at the college. Plans for an all-campus Stewards Committee, a work project for Freshman pledges in town whereby funds would be raised for the I.F.C., and a Greek Week festival were also spon- sored by the I.F.C. this year. The Inter-Fraternity Sing receives its backing from the I.F.C., with the proceeds going to worthy charitable organizations. 88 Louis Hush, Roger Clouser, Frank Frasca, Joseph Personeni, Del into Gales, Metl Beckman, Brock Yates (President), Peter Pfohl, J. . .

Founded at Ilobart in 1800, chapters have subsequently been es- tablished at Cornell University and the University of Minnesota. The motto of Kappa Beta Phi, Durn vivamus, edimus, et biberimus,” is of great inspirational value to all of the brothers. Several historians believe that the so- ciety was originally founded at Union in 1827 in opposition to the strict scholastic elements of Phi Beta Kappa. The Union chapter, along with several of its colonies was forced out of existence by the temper- ance movement. Thought dead forever, the society sprang up again with its re- birth at Ilobart in 1890. The Inter-Dormitory Council, a sub- committee of the Board of Control, acts as the stimulus for Neutral Body activ- ities. 'Pile Council is composed of repre- sentatives from each of the five dormitor- ies. This past year, the Council has under- gone a change in constitution. The new rushing rules, enacted by the Inter- Dormitory Council, aim to establish the I.D.C. as a more permanent and influ- ential body on campus. The I.D.C. pro- vided dancing facilities and cocktail par- ties for both Freshman and neutral body members on Fall, Homecoming, and Spring Weekends. Other ideas carried out by the I.D.C. included the installation of a soda pop machine in each of the new dormitories, and the enacting of a social and conduct code for dormitory residents.

The Statesmen opened the season showing a good defense and a powerful attack in trouncing the Hamilton team, 15-5. John Snape, tlie stickmen’s Captain, scored four goals and George Lassiter, Hobart midfielder, put on a spectacular exhibition of broken field running in scoring a couple of goals. The team continued to display its powerful offensive ability in beating Cort- land State, 18-6. Cortland committed numerous fouls and had players in the penalty box throughout most of the game. Hobart capitalized on these pen- alties, with the starting attack cofttributing 15 of its total 18 goals. Snape tal- lied for 9, Burhans 4 and Kraus 2. Goalie Pickering played a great game in the nets, making many spectacular saves. Hobart compiled its third victory of the season, in as many games, by a 10-5 margin against a hard fighting, but outplayed. Union Squad. Snape scored 5 times and Burhans accounted for four more goals. The midfield of Herne, Lassiter and Marx put on a fine exhibition of precision passing to set up most of the scores. Against Penn State, the Statesmen’s winning streak was in serious danger, as the Spring Weekend Tilt was tied 8 times, with Hobart moving into the lead for the first time midway in the third period. Captain John Snape set a Hobart record by scoring ten goals rluring this game. Midfielder Bob Hamel of Penn State scored 8 goals in trying to keep his team in the game, but the combination of Snape and Lassiter proved to be too strong for the Nittany Lions, and the Statesmen pulled the game out for their last victory of the season, 18-16. The following week, the Statesmen absorbed their first defeat in Hanover, New Hampshire. Dartmouth set up a rugged defense holding Hobart, to 6 goals, while they scored 11 times. The second defeat was administered by Cornell on rain-soaked Schoelkopf Field, in Ithaca. The Statesmen lead throughout most of the first half, how- ever, Cornell caught fire in the third and fourth periods to move away to a 17-10 victory. As in the Dartmouth encounter, Hobart’s lack of reserve strength proved to be the deciding factor in the game. Francis “Babe” Kraus, Coach of Lacrosse. After the Cornell defeat, the Statesmen lost a heartbreaker to highly ranked BPI 8-7. In the first half, Snape scored 8 goals to put the Statesmen ahead by 2. This lead proved insufficient as the Engineers pro- ceeded to embark on a 4 goal scoring spree, which decided the contest. In the finale of the 1954 season, Hobart suffered its fourth consecutive defeat at the hands of a powerful Syracuse team. Snape scored several times, but the Syracuse com- binatum of All American midfielder Bruce Yancey and Dick Miller, proved too much for the Orange and Purple. Hobart was honored when it was an- nounced by the United States Intercol- legiate Lacrosse Association that Boswell Bowl will be the site of the 1956 North- South, All-Star Classic. Jon Kraus was elected Captain of the 1955 Statesmen squad. Jon is one of the best assist men in the East. This year’s squad has many returning lettermen who should form the nucleus of a well-balanced team. ALL-AMERICAN SNAPE John Snape, Captain—1953-5!) John Snape established himself, last year, due to his un- canny stick handling, his speed, and his screaming shots, as one of the finest attackmen in the nation. He led the na- tion in scoring with 43 goals, bringing his four year total to 146, an all time Hobart mark. Snape represented Ho- bart in the North-South Classic in Freeport, Long Island. As Co-Captain of the North Squad, he put on a beautiful exhibition of stick handling, scoring 2 goals and assisting on 4 others. To conclude a great season and a spectacular career, John Snape was named to the second string All American team. BASEBALL Lyle “Spike” Garnish came to Hobart College in the Fall of 19.50. Prior to this time, “Spike” coached Basketball, Baseball, Football, and Tennis at the University of Roch- ester from 1929 until 1949, at which time he assumed the position of Industrial Recreation Assistant at the Eastman Kodak Co. “Spike” took the positions of Varsity Basket- ball and Baseball coach at Hobart in 1950. During the 1953 and 1954 seasons, he coached the Hobart Freshman Football Team, in addition to his two Varsity assignments. Lyle Garnish, Hobart laseball and Basketball Couch. Seated: Turoski, Carpenter, Brascho, MuUeavy, Ford, Raforth, Beyrer, Pica. Standing: Garnish (Coach), DeFran- cesco, Rappoport, Getman, Byrne, Rush, Comstock, Mayer, Nussbaum (Mgr.). i i 0 98 The Hobart baseball team hail one of its most disappoint- ing seasons. Coached by Lysle “Spike” Garnish, and cap- tained by Greg Mulleavy and Bob Ford, the team just never seemed to get started. Plagued by bad support, pitchers Bill Byrne, Pete Comstock and Lou Bush had all they could handle to control opponent batters. Hobart began the season by suffering a sound beating at the hands of the “Big Red” from Cornell. With only three hits, Hobart scored just once, to avert a shutout. Final score, Cornell 1.5 Hobart 1. The Ithaca game was cancelled due to rain and Hobart moved down to Schenectady to play Union. The “Garnish- men” scored five times in the fifth but could not overcome the seventeen runs amassed by Union; due mostly to faulty fielding by Hobart. Final score Union 17, Hobart 5. Following two postponements with R.P.I. and LeMoyne, Hobart played host to Niagara on Spring-Weekend. Lou Bush displayed fine form by striking out 11 men. With Mulleavy starring in the field and Getman at the plate, Hobart managed to tie Niagara 4-4. The game was called in the eighth inning due to rain. 105If Baseball Co-Captains, Robert Ford and Gregory Mulleavy Hobart continued along its losing ways with a 7-6 loss to Hamilton. The only encouraging factor of the game was Len DeFrancesco’s opening pitch home run over the left field fence, the first to be hit since the fence was installed three years ago. Hobart lost again to a strong St. Lawrence team, 12-2, as Lou Bush absorbed the defeat. Another postponement with Clarkson was followed by a crushing defeat at the hands of the “Red Raiders,” of Col- gate. Colgate scored five runs in the third which decided the game. Final score Colgate 13, Hobart 2. Hobart broke its losing streak, with the aid of 18 walks as they beat LeMoyne 14-8. Bill Byrne received credit for the win although he needed help from Lou Bush, in the 8th. Lou went on to end the game by striking out five of t he last six batters. Canisius was Hobart’s second victim of the season. Pete Comstock gave up only 2 runs while Hobart scored 4. Frank Raforth deserves commendation for his block of the plate which thwarted an attempted steal of home in the 8th and for hitting a single and triple. Final score Hobart 4 Canisius 2. Although ahead by as much as five runs, Hobart couldn’t stave off Hamilton’s late rally which gave them an 11-8 victory. In the final encounter of the season, Hobart lost a heart- breaker to Syracuse, 6-3. Lou Bush pitched the entire game and struck out many Syracuse batters, however, he had little support in the field. Hitting honors were shared by Getman, Ford and Beyrer.

Mart It is difficult to single out any one player for special honors, but it is accepted that Captain Hill Morton deserved the Most Valuable Player Award, which he received for the second straight year. Hill finished his four years at Hobart by being named as a second-string Little All-American halfback. A broken field runner, Hill shone even more brightly when it came to blocking. The name of Morton will not disappear from I he football headlines after his graduation, for according to Eddie Tryon, Hill will be a cinch to make the grade in professional ball.” Starting in 27 consecutive games, Hill carried the ball .‘562 limes for 1,943 yards and 25 touchdowns. He gained an average of 5.3 yards per carry. 101 THE UNDEFEATED Hobart 40 — Wagner 6 A half-dozen hard-running backs exploded big holes in the line as Hobart rambled to an easy opening conquest over the Wagner Seahawks. The Statesmen collected six touch- downs, before giving up a last-minute scoring pass to the visitors. Hobart 45 — Buffalo 0 Capt. Billy Morton staged a brilliant display of his vaunted all-around ability as the Statesmen rode herd on the Buf- falo Bulls. Morton galloped 189 yards en route to three touchdowns. Hobart scored three times in the first period, twice in the second, and once in each of the final quarters. Hobart 32 — Allegheny 7 Hobart scored in the first two minutes, then fought back from a 106 yard touchdown gallop that tied it at 7-7. After that, the teams fought a stout defensive duel until Hobart smashed over for a 13-7 halftime lead. Three more touch- downs in the second half proved decisive. Hobart 32 — Kenyon 0 Despite a wet field and driving squalls, Hobart punched over for two touchdowns in the first period and another in each of the remaining quarters. Quarterback Jon Kraus got the Statesmen under way when he hurled a 37 yard touch- down pass through the rain to Dick Turoski. Hobart 32 — Union 21 Hobart’s unbeaten eleven overcame a serious Homecoming Day threat by twice coming from behind and then finally clinching the victory with two last-quarter tallies. The Statesmen scored on the first play from scrimmage as Dick Turoski sped59yards off tackle. Then Hobart scored again, missing the extra point. Union utilized its clever option play for a second tally and a 14-12 lead with 90 seconds re- maining in the half. The half ended as Jon Kraus hit Dick Turoski with a 40 yard touchdown pass. 102 SEASON. 8 WINS Hobart 20 — St. Lawrence 6 On October 30th, the Statesmen encountered a sturdy foe in St. Lawrence. The final score was 20-6, but in winning their tenth in a row and sixtli of the season, the Orange and Purple had to break a 6 to 6 tie in the last six minutes of the game. In this time, Turoski scored twice, once on a pass from Kraus and again on a 37 yard sprint. Gates tackled a St. Lawrence back in the end zone for the other two points. Hobart 42 — Hamilton 7 A Parents Day crowd of 3,300 saw Hobart throw a blanket over the East’s leading passing attack and take to the air themselves. Jon Kraus’ passes resulted in two touchdowns and set up a third. The final touchdown came on a 60 yard run with an intercepted pass by end Joe DiFabio. Hobart 13 — Alfred 6 The final game of the year drew an overflow crowd of 4,700 fans who witnessed a hard fought game right down to the final whistle. Hobart tallied first as Morton sliced 12 yards for the score and the extra point was good. In the third quarter, Alfred picked up their touchdown, but failed to make the conversion. The Statesmen bounced back the next time they got the ball, as Harrison galloped 71 yards for a touchdown. Although surpassed in first downs and total yardage, the clutch play of the Orange and Purple enabled them to win out, 1.3-6. I just want to Con gratulatp rou amd al You« eoys CD-..

Sparked by “that old Hobart determina- tion,” the Statesmen finished as the only undefeated and untied team in the history of Hobart College, and also collected an as- sortment of wholly unexpected honors from various football polls and news bureaus. As victory followed victory, everyone realized that an undefeated season was pos- sible. Then carne the climax with Alfred and the 13-6 win that left the Statesmen as New York’s sole representative among the nation’s 23 untied-unbeaten elevens. Hobart was the only college in New York State to finish with a perfect record. In the voting for the Lambert Trophy presented to the best team in the East, Hobart ranked 8th. The Statesmen finished si.vlh among all small colleges in rushing, and eighth in total offense. Hobart was the only team in the state to place a man as high as the Little All-American second team and the only squad in the East to win 3 positions on the Little All-American team. The Little All- Americans were Capt. Bill Morton, named to a halfback position on the second team, and guards Don Bruno and Dick McKnight, both selected for honorable mention. Mc- Knight was the unsung hero of the squad, and his constant determination won him this recognition. For the third straight year, Bruno’s tiger-like charges won him honor. Halfback Dick Turoski was the highest indi- vidual scorer in the East, including major and minor colleges. He scored 90 points. Coach Eddie Tryon came to Hobart in the summer of 1946. He is a graduate of Colgate University and in his senior year there he was named as a first string half back on the All-American team. After graduation lie played Pro- fessional bail for the New York Yankees. Nine seniors played for the last time in the Alfred game. They are; Morton, McKnight, Kraus, Dolan, Bruno, Scudamore, Smith, Vogt, and Turoski. Hats off to these men and the rest of the team along with the coaching staff for the first undefeated season in 63 years of Hobart foot- ball. Junior tackle Delivan W. Gates has been elected cap- tain of the 1955 squad. 104 105 BASKETBALL Seated: Browne (Mgr.), Merle, l)e Francesco, Lambert, We is glass (Capt.), Cohen, Wilson, Kraus, Cohen (Mgr.).

The team started out in strong fashion, collapsed in the middle of the season, and ended by playing excellent basketball. Al- though the final won and lost results did not establish any Hobart records, several others were made by the team. Tlie team scored a total of 112(5 points to establish a new record. Sonny Wilson rewrote his own and the college’s individual scoring records. lie set the all-time seasonal mark at 402 points and against McMaster, he poured through 43 points for an individual game record. In addi- tion, Sonny Wilson established a four-year total of 1315 points. The Statesmen opened the season by playing host to Oswego State Teachers College. The Oswego team pro- vided t lie ideal tune-up contest. Ilobart won easily, 90-66 as four starters scored in double figures. The next game at DcSalcs Gymnasium was against Mc- Master. In this game, Sonny Wilson broke his previous 37 point record with a 43 point total as Hobart triumphed, 95-55. Alfred, seeking revenge from their gridiron defeat, fought all the way, but when the final whistle blew, they found themselves on the wrong side of a 51-49 score. Hamilton was the next, guest at DeSales and displayed excellent, defense. Their offense however could not match their defense. The Hamilton quintet finished the evening with 46 points to Hobart’s 50. Clarkson became the fifth victim in the winning streak that Hobart, had compiled. However, this sLreak was not extended as the Statesmen suffered their first defeat of the season at the expense of Colgate. Ilobart played a dismal first half, coming to life in the second half. Unfortunately their attempted comeback was too late, and Colgate came ouL the victor, 77-63. The Hobart 14 game winning streak at home was snapped by the Buffalo “Bulls,” led by Jim Horne. Jon Kraus’ fine set shooting in the closing minutes led a rally that fell short by 7 points. The Final Score: Buffalo 72-IIo- bart 65. Hobart captured wins over R.l’.I. and Albany State, but returned home only to lose to a Union Team, sporting a 22-game losing streak, 47-45. Another loss followed, to IIamilLon, 76-66, placing the Statesmen at their lowest ebb of the season. The trip to Allegheny College was successful by 3 points, 66-63, but in Buffalo, defeat occurred as Jim Horne proved too much, with the Statesmen suffering a bad defeat, 74-48. Hobart set out on the right foot in its attempt to start another winning streak at. home with a decisive victory over St. Lawrence, 81-56. The calibre of Hobart’s play in- creased with victories over Platlsburg and Alfred. In the final encounter of the season against LeMoyne College, who had beaten a powerful Western Kentucky team, the Statesmen rose to the occasion, winning, 69-55. The game proved to be the highlight of the season. Best of luck to Sonny Wilson and Jon Kraus who both played their last, varsity game for Hobart College. 109 James “Sonny Wilson. During the course of his college career. Sonny Wilson smashed every existing Ilobart scoring record, a feat which demands not only mention, but also praise from everyone connected with Ilobart College. By the end of his freshman season, Wilson piled up 238 points for a new Ilobart individual season record. In his sophomore year, Wilson’s 331 points broke his own record, and he set the individual single game record of 34, against St. Lawrence. Opposition centered their defenses on the idea of stop- ping Wilson. Despite this fact, Wilson amassed 344 points in his junior year, breaking the seasonal record for the third straight year. Ilis 37 points against Ohio Northern was another record-shattering performance. Each new season meant more records to be broken. At the end of his senior year, Wilson set the all-time seasonal mark at 402 points and against McMaster, scored 43 points for the individual game record. In his four years of basketball, the six-foot, 100 pound sharpshooter compiled 1315 points for an overall 20.2 average per game. Someone undoubtedly will eventually break these rec- ords, but no one will ever erase the name of Sonny Wilson from the names of Hobart’s all-time greats. 110 GOLF The Ilobart golf team compiled a record of 2 wins, 6 losses and 2 ties. The all time record now stands at 32 wins and 24 defeats. The team’s best played match was against a vastly superior Syracuse team, to whom they lost by the score of 514-31$.

Hobart’s “net” team ended the 1954 season with a 5-2 rec- ord, its best since 1949. The team was able to compile their excellent record due to the fine coaching of “Hunk” An- derson and the talented squad of players, “lied” Beldner, Richie Weisglass, Captain Bob Terhune, Phil Mendell, Shelly Freeman, and Jack Rooney comprised the squad. The Statesmen started their season with an impressive 7-2 win over a good Niagara team. Any chance of an unde- feated season ended abruptly, as during Spring Weekend, the Statesmen were defeated by an excellent Hamilton team, 5-2. The St. Lawrence match was postponed due to rain, and the Statesmen then went up to play Alfred, where they suffered their second and final loss of the season, 5-4. The Statesmen began to show their power as they de- feated a highly rated St. Lawrence team, 8-1. The Orange and Purple went on with their winning streak as they ripped through Clarkson, 9-0. The Statesmen continued their successful ways as they defeated Harpur in a close match, 4-3. The Statesmen ended their winning season with a 7-2 victory over the Alfred Saxons, thus avenging an earlier loss in the season. “Red” Beldner played superbly to end his season undefeated. The tennis team is quite fortunate, as they do not lose any players through graduation. Although they will be without the services of Coach “Hunk” Anderson, Bob Ter- hune, who was re-elected team captain, is quite capable of leading the team through the 1955 season. 112 SOCCER i t I i Row I: Berlin (Mgr.), Ormsicdt, Burhans, DcFrancesco, Kolodny, Ackerman.

This vast increase in victories was due to the year of experience behind the ’53 veterans plus the addition of freshmen and upperclassmen to the team. Playing their first game of the year against the Oswego State J.V.’s, the Ilobartmcn rolled to a smashing 4-1 victory. Bob Ormstedt, who scored 3 times, was the star of the game. In the next game against the Ithaca J.V.’s, a sliding shot by Ralph Pica broke up a fourth quarter tie giving Hobart, a 2-1 win. At Clinton, New York, the Pitchmen received their first defeat of the year by losing 2-1 to the Hamilton varsity. In their next two games against the Cortland and Brockport J.V. teams, the Orange and Purple added two more triumphs to their record. Cortland was overcome by a score of 2-1, while Brockport failed in an all out offensive drive in the last five minutes of play and yielded 1-0. The final game of the season resulted in Hobart’s losing 6-2 to an effective Colgate freshman team. Collins and Silver accounted for the two Hobart goals. The 1955 team will lose Silver, Campbell, Wattenberg, and Captain llappa- port. Ralph Pica, the new captain, will Lake over a team with a well stocked bench and many players capable of moving up into the starting berths va- cated by these seniors. f 113 RIFLE TEAM In 1952, Master Sergeant Bruce M. Lambert formed the first ROTC Rifle Team on the Hobart campus. The team was enlarged in the following year to represent Hobart College in matches against the University of Buffalo and Colgate University. With the establishment of the New York State Inter- collegiate Rifle League in 1954, riflerv became firmly en- trenched as a sport at Hobart College under the guidance of coach Ben Tencer. Other members of the League are Cornell University, Syracuse University, Colgate Uni- versity, Clarkson College, and St. Lawrence University. Each League member fires one home and one away match with every other member of the League. The 1954-55 Team co-captains were Dwight M. Collins and Ronald Martino; the manager was Bob Lcitslein; and the members were William Peck, Brock Yates, Bruce Sheirr, William Gohlenblum, Sheldon Freemon, Martin Jacobs, and Alexander Eucare. In the William Randolph Ilearst Trophy match fired in October of 1954, Hobart placed ahead of such local teams as the University of Buffalo, Colgate University, Univer- sity of Rochester, and Syracuse University. Kneeling: Eucare, Martino (Co-Capt.), Sheirr, Collins (Co-Capt.), Jacobs. Standing: Leitstein, Freeman, Yates, Peck, Goldenblum, Tencer (Coach). 114 YACHT CLUB The Hobart Corinthian Yacht Club was founded in 1047, and since then, it has enjoyed many exciting regattas with other New England colleges. Because of the avid interest of William Smith students in the sport of sailing, it was decided that William Smith would join with the Hobart group to form the Ilobart and William Smith Yacht Club. The aim of this organization is to promote competitive sportsmanship through the me- dium of yacht racing. We are looking forward to many re- gattas this season, and we are depending on our well- seasoned sailors to tow the mark. Ben MeGiveran-—Commodore; Ralph Mills—Vice- Commodore; Franklin Berry—Rear Commodore; Bill Eik- ner—T reasurer. BLESSING TROPHY The Blessing Cup Trophy is awarded in memory of Rupert Blessing, one of the members of the original Intramural Board which had its origin in 1929. The cup is awarded at the end of each school year to the outstanding fraternity in intramural athletic competition. In 1954 the Blessing Cup trophy was awarded to Sigma Chi which finished in second place in bowling, football, and softball, and took third place in basketball. 115 SKI TEAM Coach Hay Demath The Hobart Ski Team was recreated last year when four students journeyed to Alfred to compete in a triangular meet with Alfred and Swain Ski Club. The team finished poorly, but showed much potentiality. The two remaining meets of the season were cancelled due to the lack of snow. The 1954 season saw Hay Demuth take on the position of coach and three meets were scheduled. The first meet was with Alfred and Swain Ski Club on the Alfred hill. Ho- bart was closely edged out for second place by Alfred. The second meet this year pitted Hobart against Col- gate, Cortland, and Alfred. Colgate completely outclassed the field, taking first place. Hobart took third place behind Cortland. Hobart was invited to the meet at Turin, N. V., where the competition was very keen, resulting in Colgate and Hamilton finishing on top. Another meet is scheduled this season at Cortland. For Hobart, this year’s competition did not prove to be very successful, but the team was hampered by the lack of experience in competition and the lack of facilities for prac- tice. With the exception of one member of the team, the team will be intact for the 1956 season, as all skiers will be returning. The Hobart Ski Team members are: Captain John Huntington, Richard Dugger, Harold Hyde, and Keith Calkins. 116 The Quarterback Club, an organization which is as much a part of football as the team itself, continued and expanded its usual roster of activities. During the season, the Quarterback Club met every Monday night for films and discussion about the previous Saturday’s grid battle. Coach Eddie Tryon reviewed the previous game, with diagramed studies of important of- fensive and defensive plays, after which a film was shown presenting the highlights of the game. After studying the details of the game, the club members selected a “Player of the Week,” whose name was an- nounced at the Tuesday night meeting of the team. At its final meeting, the Quarterback Club gave a special testimonial banquet for the team at the Geneva Elks Club. Awards included the presentation of a special Geneva Chamber of Commerce trophy, to Hobart, in recognition of its undefeated season, and individual awards to each member of the team. The highlight of the evening was the selection of Captain Hill Morton as the “Outstanding Player of the Year,” and Dick Scudamore as the “Most Improved Player of the Year.” 117 WEARERS OF THE H SOCCER Bakker, P.
