ECHO OF THE SENECA 1956 HOBART COLLEGE GENEVA, NEW YORK tRUfc FOUNDATION ____ Of r ADMINISTRATION PAG PROGRESSION PAC DISTINCTION PAGE 54 CREATION PAGE 64 RELAXATION PAGE 88 COMPETITION PAGE 102 ■1 The American Heritage is not something that can be defined by a series of platitudinous catch-words such as we learned in the ele- mentary schools; it is rather the embodiment of a great many in- tangible factors which aggregately produced the America of today. Men like Lincoln and Washington helped America through its most critical periods, but our country’s progress up to the mid-point of the twentieth century is equally attributable to other men whose names have been forever lost in the Limbo reserved for the souls of unsung heroes. Men have two debts incurred at birth: debts to those who will come after him and debts to those who have come before. The lay- men who have a thousand names, who gave us freedom, and per- haps the most important to us in this phase of our lives, our system of education. For freedom’s roots have not merely survived, they have grown, they have been nourished .... they have been fed and lived and’ strengthened by education. The American men of today, then, owe their present existence to the institutionalized foundation of learn ing as set up by their forefathers. This year we recognize this man, Mr. American Heritage, ded- icated to Education. He is you and I, all of us, every American we know .... without exception. To this man—Mr. American Herit- age, we present Hobart College’s Echo oj the Senecti for 1956. 5 9n Mesn Uam Charles E. Love (1910-1955) Charles E. Love was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Colleges of the Seneca and an Executive Vice-president of Com- mercial Controls Corporation in Rochester, N. Y. Mr. I .ove had served on the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, the Admissions Committee, and Finance Committee, acting as Chairman. Mr. Love attended Hobart, was a member of Phi Phi Delta Fra- ternity, and graduated in 1932. He spent a spectacular career with I.B.M. Elected to the Board of Trustees of the Colleges in 1950, his term was due to end in 1958. He was also Vice-president of the Hobart Alumni Association. 6 7 A o one can be a genuine teacher unless he is himself actively sharing in the hiupian at- tempt to understand men and their tvorld. —Alexander Meiklejohx 8 Our teachers must be advocates, but they never must be salesmen or propagandists. The very existence of democratic schools de- pends on that distinction. —Alexander Meiklejohn H. NEWTON HUBBS Treasurer and Acting President of the Colleges of the Seneca B.E.

The Hobart Air Force R.O.T.C. Unit was estab- lished at the college in 1951 with Colonel Ernest B. Shephard in command. At the close of Colonel Shephard’s tenure of duty in 1954, the Unit had made remarkable advancement, both in organiza- tion and in enrollment, including more than one- half of the Student Body. The present commander, Lt. Colonel LaRoy R. Stoltz, assumed command in September 1954. In 1953 a new system was inaugurated, giving cadet officers complete control and responsibility of R.O.T.C. activities. Previously, commissioned officers commanded the operation. In 1954 this system was further expanded, allowing Junior officers to take charge during the latter part of the drill program with the Senior officers acting only in advisory capacities. This experiment was deemed a complete success by Col. Stoltz and is to become a permanent part of the R.O.T.C. pro- gram. The highlights of this year’s activities included the Annual Parents Weekend Review, The Formal R.O.TtC. Ball in February, and the Annual Re- view and Inspection. The programs of orientation flights for basic cadets, and the Air Force-spon- sored trips to Florida were expanded during the past year. A new innovation this year was the weekly retreat ceremonies, held during the latter part of the Spring term. Lt. Col. LaRoy R. Stoltz, Professor of Air Science and Tactics. 21 Education commences at the mother's knee, and every word spoken within the hearsay 0} little children tends towards the formation o o Education makes a people easy to lead, l ut difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impos- sible to enslave— —Attributed to Lord Brougham Joel M. Savits Secretary-Treasurer 4 Jerry W. Angel! Historian CLASS-HISTORY 216 excited and bewildered students became the Freshman Class at Hobart College in the' Fall of 1952. We were the thirci largest class in the history of the college. Soon after we ar- rived, Agaventah began his f.rst ol many disappearing acts and we became the third R.O.T.C. class. We all were interested in hearing Granville Hicks describe his experi- ences as a Communist. A few months later, we witnessed the birth of the Statesmen 13,” followed by the infamous “POT” humor magazine. With the arrival of our class, a new golden age of athletics began. For the first time since 1936, all of our athletic teams had winning seasons. We learned that Hobart would soon renew the rivalry with the Univer- sity of Rochester in football, but saddened because it would not be until 1956. In Febru- ary we danced to the music of the Sampson Skytones at the First Annual R.O.T.C. Ball. A month later the New Chemistry Building was started and we ended the year be- wildered but anxious to go on. . . . We returned in the Fall of 1953 to begin another year as “wise fools,” minus many of our classmates. The first Intercollegiate Soccer Team in Hobart’s history became a reality. Fall Weekend amazed us with two feet of wet snow which arrived while we slept. Our game with Alfred was cancelled, leaving us with a 5-1 record. Sigma Chi and Phi Phi Delta moved into new houses. In October, we were thrilled by the performance of the Dublin Players. We were proud of Schola Cantorum when they made their debut at New York’s Town 1 lall. The Chem building continued to grow, and it was announced that soon the first phase would be completed. The “golden age” con- tinued with our basketball team bearing Colgate and having a 12-5 record, finest in the 52 years of intercollegiate competition. Another year gone and now as “upperclassmen” we await the next step up the ladder.. . . We were Juniors now and thinking of those left behind who didn’t have to pay the increase in tuition—SSoo. Some of us continued in R.O.T.C. and got to go on the Florida trip. Alfred University visited us and painted on our pretty barracks but what did we care .... the first undefeated team in 63 years. 'I’he news of the North-South Lacrosse game excited us hut again we would be gone when it was to be played. Our golden age had arrived with the major sports accumulating a 32-16 record. Some of us cried and some of us cheered when the “POT” died. Dean Dunn left us and the appointment of Dr. Durtee was announced. At Commencement 21 Sen- iors listened to Secretary of the Air Force Talbott and became the Second R.O.T.C. Commissioned Graduates from Hobart. Ho-hum, 3 years down and one more ro go. . . . As Seniors we showed that we had brains as well as brawn when our College Quiz Bowl Team defeated Washington N Lee only to lose to Oberlin much to our dismay the follow- ing week. Our football team went 19 games without a defeat and it took our old nemesis, Alfred University to end it all on Fall Weekend. Appropriately, we learned the Alma Mater and they uave us Dry Weekends.

A small group of men, usually five in number, are chosen for this honor from the members of the Junior Class. These men are “tapped” as they leave the college chapel during Moving-up Day ceremonies. This sign of recognition at Hobart comes only to those men who represent a combination of academic, social, and extra-curricular activities. Its members include athletes, campus publication heads, and leaders in student government. The sole quali- fication for Druid selection is “most outstanding on campus.” The society was established at Hobart on December i a, 1903. While the society is founded on recognition, the Druids serve an important function in campus activities. They act as guardians of Hobart tradition and as advisors to the President of The Colleges of the Seneca on student affairs. 55 The Junior Honorary Society derived its name from the chimera of Greek Mythol- ogy, which was a female with the hndy of a goat and the head and tail of a lion. In a somewhat analogous manner, the Junior Honor Society combines in one body the main features that make up llobarl cam- pus life. The membership in Chimera is limited to those who have distinguished them- selves in extra-curricular activities and in academic work. Newly-elected members are announced each year on Moving-up Day. They are selected from members of the Sophomore class of the preceding year. Sealed—Charles Balis, Michael Keenan (President), Warren Herendeen. Standing— Samuel Yoshida, Donald Damoth, Peter Gardner, Martin Silfen, Dwight Collins.

Members are selected from those Freshman who have done satisfactory academic work, and who have exemplified ability in leadership and responsibility in extra- curricular activities. • The Society is in charge of preparing the Fall Weekend festivities and assists the Druids during Freshman Orientation Week. The members of Orange Key are selected at the conclusion of each school year. The Society is self-perpetuating, working in coordination with the Director of Admissions of Hobart College, and The Senior Honor Society.

PHI DELTA Epsilon Pi Sigma, Hobart and William Smith honorary science society, was founded in 1924. It was established as a means of recognizing those students who showed proficiency in the sci- ences, and with the hope of stim- ulating greater interest in the related science fields. Originally limited to students of the Nat- ural Sciences, it has more recently been expanded to include certain related branches of the social sciences. Talks are given by guest speakers, and by club members dealing with different branches of the sciences in an attempt to show the correlation between the various scientific fields. Phi Delta, The Honorary Journalistic Society at Ho- bart and William Smith Colleges, was founded in 1947. Its objectives are to give recognition to students who have made outstanding contributions to College Journalism, and to en- courage further efforts in this and related fields. For membership, a student must have either held posi- tion on two or more college publications or have done other literary work merit- ing recognition. First Row—Susanne Rappolt, Betsy Hacker. Second Row—Barbara Lynch, Ellen Rosenberg, Renee Ostrow, Patricia Buchanan (President), Annabel Brodie, Delores Johnson. Third Row—E. Carl Laun, James Stephens, Hiram Ash, Robert Ham- mond, Carmine Dandrea (Sec’y-Treas.) DELTA PHI ALPHA Delta Phi Alpha is the honorary German language society, recog- nizing ability and interest in the German language and culture. It was founded in 1929 at Wofford College, South Carolina. In 1940, the Beta Phi Chapter was estab- lished at the Colleges of the Seneca through the effort of Dr. Alexander L. Harris, Mr. Fred- erick Lehnert, and the late Pro- fessor Edward Williamson. The purposes of Delta Phi Alpha are to honor proficiency to the German Language, and to promote the study of Ger- man civilization, literature and culture. PHI SIGMA IOTA Phi Sigma Iota, the na- tional honorary Romance Language society, was founded in 1929 at Alle- gheny College. The Phi Eta chapter was established at Hobart and William Smith in 1939- The objectives of the society have been to erect a bonrl between na- tions who speak Romance Languages and to encourage scholarship in this field through research and dis- cussion. A research paper is presented by one of the members at each of the monthly meetings. Edward Shuster (President), Mr. Jack Boenninghofen, George Merrill, Marilyn Hiidebrandt. Seated—Barbara Wilcox (Vice-President), Jean Jones, Liz Cobb, Joyce Nystrom. Standing—Marcia Wakeman, Mr. Jack Boenninghofen, Peter I.iss (Treasurer). 59 TAU KAPPA ALPHA Tau Kappa Alpha is the national, honor- ary forensic society. It was founded in 1908 by a group of students from various Indiana colleges. The Hobart chapter was established on campus in 1935, and recog- nized in 1946. Membership is attained by students who have distinguished them- selves in some form of public speaking, especially debate. The society has proven itself to be a powerful factor in maintain- ing an active interest in public speaking at Hobart. Philip Mendell, Albert Bruncll {Vice-President), Allen Salick, Stephen Weisman (President). Gamma Epsilon Chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi was founded on May 30, 1953 by a group of 12 students in the Hobart Marching Band who felt the need for a closer and more fraternal tie among the band members. Kappa Kappa Psi honors outstanding bandsmen by electing them into the brotherhood.

THE BOARD The'Hobart Board of Control, which has been in existence since the early years of the century, is the student govern- ment organization which controls most of the intra- collegiate activities. Under its able president, Robert Wagenfeld, the Board has been very successful in alleviating many of the prob- lems that faced the student body. Foremost amongst these was the revision ot its constitution. After many months of drafting and planning, this new constitution was accepted by the faculty and student body. The work of the student faculty committee has been more clearly- defined, and in general, a consolidation and streamlining of the machinery of student affairs has been effected. One of its most important provisions gives the board power to place a student on disciplinary probation with permission of the dean. The Board also has been effective in the reorganization of campus activities notably The Review and the college radio station WEOS. The loss accrued by- the now defunct College Humor Magazine was absorbed by the Board funds. The revenue received from the vending machines in the dormitories has been appropriated into a special fund. This fund filters back the money to the students in the form of a new lecture program, the sending of Hobart students abroad to study, and to aid social events. The Board has also sponsored and dedicated a memorial to Art Kenny, in tribute to his longtime faithful support of Hobart College and in appreciation for his consistent example of good sportsmanship, determination and gentle- manly-like character.

The hand- printed four page issues sold three hundred copies in that year. In 1863 directorship of the Echo passed from the hands of the sophomores to those of the Juniors under whose guidance the year-book remained until 1947. At this time the Echo assumed its present form, one of an all-class production under the editorship of a Hobart Senior. 66 Russell L. Davison Senior Editor Irwin E.

This year the situation has been some- what improved and a more successful operation of the station has been the result. From its new studios in Smith Flail, the station has been able to increase its operating time with new programs like away sports events and the partici- pation of student groups like The Finger Lake Five plus Two. New equipment has been purchased and technical improve- ments now make it possible for the sta- tion to be heard throughout the colleges with programs of higher quality and more consistency.

Organized to allow interested and talented stu- dents in the held of drama a place to gain valuable training and experience in the many fields of the theater, the Little Theater and its subsidiary branches present dramatic works of lasting in- terest to the college and the town. In May of 1955, the Little Theater under the direction of E. E. Griffith presented “Othello,” which was the first Shakespearean play presented in several years, and proved so successful that it ran for six days. The only other major play pre- sented in 1955 was “The Crucible,” a modern play based on the Salem witch-trials, which was presented in November. Outside of producing their own plays, Little Theater also sponsored the Dublin Players, a famed group from Ireland’s Abbey and Gates theaters, who presented “Pygmalion” and “An Ideal Husband” in September of 1955. This was the second time that the Dublin Players had performed in Coxe Hall, and they proved to be a highlight of the fall season. 72 THEATER OFFICERS Heather Moden John Huntington Glen Hilken Tom McEwen President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Mr. E.

Upon the graduation of that class, the show was turned over to the Colleges as a general student activity. In 1955 the musical review became known as PASTICHE, and has gained momentum with constantly improving quality and sparkle. Last year the production was taken off campus, and achieved success in the DeSales Auditorium in Geneva.

COLLEGIUM The Debating Society of Hobart and William Smith, Collegium Oratorium, was established at the beginning of the century. The purpose of the society is to offer students a chance to participate in discussing controversial topics of national con- cern, in an attempt to gain a better understanding of these issues, 'and to increase their ability to express their feelings and beliefs. This year the group has had repeated success in many interest- ing intercollegiate debates and tournaments. The debaters have in the past engaged Cornell, Har- vard, University of Rochester, Canisius, Brandeis and Princeton in the Potter Memorial Debate held every Spring on the Hobart College campus. During the 1955-56 school year, the Collegium Oratorium debated against the bigger schools of the country instead of the traditional small school opponents. The topic was, Resolved: “The non- Agricultural Industries of the United States should guarantee their employees an annual wage.” The debaters have increased their mem- bership over previous years, and the group is gaining in popularity on the Hobart and William Smith campuses.

Created to serve the colleges as an official choir and concert group, Schola has achieved wor- thy accomplishments in both sacred and secular music. In the past, the group has presented two concert programs a year, at Christmas time, and in the Spring Schola Cantorium offers its members personal pleasure and satisfaction from the group co- ordinated success which it has attained. In recent years, Schola has been privileged to give special performances at well-known New York City Churches, during the Easter vacation. A song will outlive all sermons in the memory. Henry Giles THE STATESMEN James Long (President), Larry Culbertson, Peter Dumont, Richard Magliozzi, Charles Pascoc. David Keller, Robert Croft, Martin Lapp. 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 mem- ory. Ron’s “Statesmen 13” brought the memory into a reality. The 4 “Hobart- eers” 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 ot Mr. Donald Merriam, long-time director of a local church, and a graduate of Juilliard. With this added impetus, the three year period of 1953-1956 has seen a growth toward maturity. On campus, the “Statesmen” are fully accepted, and lending helping voices to college-spon- sored events. They keep up morale by their many impromptu song festivals. For greater adaptability, the group was reduced to nine members plus alternates. 80 The Chapel Choir serves the Col- leges of the Seneca by assisting in services at St. Johns Chapel. The group works under the guidance and direction of Mr. Lindsey Lafford of the Hobart College Music Department. The group provides music for services in St. Johns Chapel on Sundays and on major holy days. The Chapel Choir frequently per- forms at other churches in the vicinity.

The band pro- vided a great deal of color and school enthusiasm during the football season, and was commended on several occa- sions by the administration, faculty, and student body. The band performed at both home and away football games, pep rallies, the R.O.T.C. dress parade, and the parade on Fall Weekend. Its fine performances at these events were largely due to the efforts of its new director, Nicholas V. D’Angelo, and its freshman drum major Ralph Elliot. Though the band made no official trips this year, a number of its members volunteered to travel to Buffalo and Clinton, N. Y. to play at football games. Most of the music selections and arrangements, designs of the half time shows, and trip arrangements were done by band members. This year’s officers were; Glen A. Hilken, Pres., Bob Willing, Vice Pres., Andy Bowdein, Recording Sec., and Steve Underberg, Corresponding Sec. 83 ARNOLD AIR SOCIETY 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 Squadron was named after Lieut. Robert H. Taylor of Geneva, who lost his life in action in the Adriatic Sea during the Second World War. The Arnold Air Society is an honorary military fraternity, drawing its member- ship 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 165 cam- puses throughout the United States with a total membership of well over 10,000 cadets. One of the most important tra- ditions of the Society is the national Con- clave held in a different city and area of the country each year. On Nov 18th, the Hobart Squadron attended the Area B Conclave in New York City, where Cadets gathered to discuss changes in the AFROTC program with leading Air Force personnel. This year fqr the first time, the Arnold Air Society will sponsor the AFROTC ball. First Row—Davison, Servis, Lapp, Magliozzi, Ayres, Dusinberrc, Bcaghen.

Under the leadership of Jim Trinnaman, the group has set as a goal the task of the activities ol the l.F.C. with those of the entire campus and of the community with fine approval of the full administration. There will be a unified “Hell Week” which will mark the revival of “Greek Week” and the entire affair will end with an Inter-Fraternity Sing and an all campus dance. The year 1955-56 saw the rushing period extended an additional two weeks and the concept of freshman preferential bidding was successfully introduced.

The season began during the snow falls of February as 50 hopeful stickmen appeared for practice in Williams Hall. Following strenuous workouts for two months twenty three members journeyed to the southern part of the country. The team gained needed experience as they scrimmaged Maryland, Loyola and Johns Hopkins which rank among the better teams in the country. HOBART 16 CORTLAND 8. The Statesman opened successfully by defeating a poor Cortland team. High men for the afternoon were Kolodney and Brooks each with 4 goals. Captain Kraus and freshmen Wiltsey both netted 2 goals. HOBART 13 HAMILTON 10. Paced by 5 goals and 3 assists from the stick of Jon Kraus, the team battled to their second straight victory as they came from behind to nip a scrappy Hamilton squad 13-ro. Holding the Clin- tonites to 1 goal in the fourth period the Statesmen creased the cords with 4 of their own. Brooks and Kolodney con- tributed 3 and 2 goals respectively. DARTMOUTH 11 HOBART 5. Hobart suffered their first defeat of the 1955 season, bowing to a strong Dart- mouth squad 11-5, before a Spring Weekend crowd of 2500. Never in danger the “Big Green” dominated play from the very first scrimmage. High man in the losing cause was Kraus with 2 goals. R.P.I. 14 HOBART 7. R.P.I.’s powerful team rolled to an easy 14-7 victory, as the Statesmen absorbed their sec- ond defeat. In the last 20 minutes the home forces col- lapsed as the invading Engineers pumped 9 goals passed the goalie. HOBART 11 UNION 7. Breaking loose with 4 quick goals early in the second period, the Statesmen swept to an 11-7 victory over the Garnetmen before their Spring Weekend throng. With the exception of the 4 goal out- burst the teams battled on even terms throughout most of the contest. Kolodney, Brooks and Kraus led the team with 2 goals apiece. SYRACUSE 15 HOBART 14. Until the final seconds, the Statesmen appeared on their way to the upset of the year. In the most exciting, if not the best played game of the season, the boys from Geneva led all the way until the last minute of play. Jumping to a 7-0 lead at the end of the first quarter the Statesmen continued to dominate play throughout the first three periods. In the final period, however, the “Cuse” exploded with 8 goals, 3 in the last 50 second to avoid what appeared to be a certain defeat. Kolodney and Gasper split scoring laurels with 3 goals each. HOBART 10 COLGATE 3. Playing the first Colgate Lacrosse team of the post-war years, the Statesmen gained their fourth victory of the season 10-3. Never threatened, the team rode to the easiest conquest of the season. Kraus led the scoring with three goals and three assists. PENN STATE 8 HOBART 7. In a hard fought battle between these arch rivals, Penn State found themselves on top of an 8-7 score, for their first victory over Hobart since 1951. Close all the way, the score changed hands several times throughout the afternoon. Kraus led the attack with 4 goals. HOBART 8 CORNELL 6. In the last game of the year the Hobart stickmen wrote a fitting finale to the 1955 season, as they upset the “Big Red” 8-6. Behind 5-0 after the first quarter and 6-2 at the end of the half, the States- men came back to play the best half of lacrosse seen at Boswell Field in many years. Captain Kraus finished a brilliant four year career with a brilliant display of shoot- ing, netting 4 goals, three of which were scored in the first three minutes of the second half. 103 THE LACROSSE FAMILY Jon P. Kraus, Francis Kraus, Joseph Kraus The Babe” Jon Kraus has graduated and thus the name of Kraus has been added once more to the Hobart record book. This marks the third time a member of this famous Hobart family lias engraved his name on the athletic fields. It all began in 1921 when Francis L. Kraus of Fulton, N. Y. entered Hobart. The “Babe” in his three years earned letters in lacrosse, basketball and football. He was elected captain of the 1923 football squad. Following his graduation he re- mained at Hobart and in 1926 began his 30 year career as lacrosse coach at The Colleges of the Seneca. We next find the name of Kraus to appear on the scenes in 1947 when Joe Kraus, Babe’s oldest son began his 4 year stint. He developed into one of the top assist men in lacrosse in the east. Next came kid brother Jon in 1951. Continuing in the family tradition, Jon won letters in basket- ball, football and lacrosse. For his outstanding playing he was given honorable mention in the All-American field for lacrosse players. To those who know this family it must have given them a mighty chuckle this spring to see Captain Jon arguing with brother Joe as referee while father “Babe” looked on knowingly from his coaching spot. The “Babe” has seen his last son circle the nets and now he can sit back to receive the praise for them and his fine work for 30 years at the helm of the lacrosse team. 104 LETTERMEN Angeli, J.

The annual North-South All-Star Lacrosse Game will make its central New York debut when it is played at Hobart College on Saturday afternoon June the ninth. The game is sponsored by the United States inter-collegiate Lacrosse associa- tion. This years game will mark only the fourth time in the history of the series that it will be brought North of the Mason-Dixon Line. The primary consideration for awarding the game to Geneva was the sixty year tradition of Lacrosse in centra! New York. Francis “Babe” Kraus for thirty years Lacrosse coach at Hobart has been named honorary chairman of the All- Star Game. Jon Kraus 'OS FOOTBALL Mike Keenan After going 19 games without a setback Hobart’s big Orange and Purple almost made grid iron history in its bid for its second straight undefeated season. A capac- ity crowd at Boswell Bowl saw a powerful Alfred team stop the Statesmen for the first time since the Trinity defeat in 1953. Coming into the season with an eleven game winning streak, the Statesmen, led by Captain Augie Gates, finished with a record of six wins, one tie and one defeat. The season opened against W agner and the Seahawks were defeated 14-7. The fol- lowing week Hobart opened its home stand by defeating Allegheny soundly 44-7. Against Buffalo, Hobart, for the first time in two years, failed to score a victory. The game ended in a 0-0 deadlock. The small Homecoming Weekend crowd that braved the rain saw the Tryonmen overpower Kenyon 53-0. The team traveled to Union and played a brilliant second half which enabled them to win 25-14. A highly underrated St. Lawrence eleven was defeated by the score of 25-14. Undefeated Hamilton was beaten 19-0 and then Hobart finally tasted defeat at the hands of Alfred 6-0. Star center Jerry Angell playing his last year for the Purple and Orange was se- lected for the Third Team Little All American. Fullback Walt Harrison was given Honorable Mention Little All American and was also elected captain of the 1956 team. Seniors who played their last game for the Statesmen were Captain Augie Gates, Jerry Angell, Dune Sinnock, W endy George, Cubby Carlough, Skip Sammis and Warren Kimber. Walt Harrison 1956 Captain-elect Jerry Angell Joe DiFabio Harry Bock Ernie Lisi 106 1955 Gary Mendez Coach Eddie Tryon When Eddie Tryon came to Hobart in the summer of 1945, he took over a football squad that was not used to winning. In his ten year reign as Ho- bart coach, Eddie has brought national recogni- tion of the Statesmen’s gridiron accomplishments. The former Colgate All-American built up the Hobart team gradually. In 1953, the Statesmen launched their history making football streak that was to bring them 19 consecutive games with- out a defeat, making them a ranking Eastern football power. The streak was finally broken by the potent Alfred team in the closing game of the 1955 season. Coach Tryon is looking forward to another successful season at the Hobart helm. Art Lambert Dave Angell Augie Gates Ken Wells 107 Season Ended With 6-1-1 Record; Defensive Record Set This Year By Red Beldner The Hobart Statesmen ended the 1955 season with a strong 6-1-1 record. The two weak marks were a 0-0 tie with Buffalo and a 6-0 loss to the undefeated Saxons of Alfred. The 1955 squad had only 3 returning starters. As Coach Eddie Trvon has pointed out. it made up for this lack of experience with plenty of spirit and hustle. It equalled the record of 1936, second best in Hobart history. The Statesmen opened the season with a 14-7 win over Wagner College, at Staten Is- land. The game was played on a very wet field, which hampered the Hobart tack. The Orange and Purple put together a 70 yard drive in the see ’ by Mike Keenan's one yard scoring plunge. In 'he final Hobart fumble and soon converted the break began to move.

A wet field and a strong Seahawk defense deadlocked this game wjth only two minutes to play. With the ball on Wagner’s 8-vard line, Art Lambert pitched out to Gary Mendez for the winning touchdown. HOBART 44 ALLEGHENY 7. Led by their powerful fullback, Walt Harrison, the Statesmen crushed Allegheny in the opening game at Boswell Bowl. Harrison had a field day as he scored three touchdowns and piled up 150 yards on the ground. Sinnock, Beadon, Keenan, and Holmes also scored for Hobart. HOBART o BUFFALO o. Hobart’s 14 game winning streak was snapped by a highly spirited Buffalo team. With Gates recovering one of the Bulls’ seven fumbles in the early minutes of the game, the Statesmen had the ball on Buffalo’s 20- yard line for what amounted to their best scoring opportunity. The Buffalo line braced and four downs later, they took possession of the ball. A brilliant defense by the Hobart line enabled the Statesmen to stave off last quarter drives that had the Bulls inside the Hobart 20-yard line the entire quarter. HOBART 53 KENYON o. A steady downpour that hampered the Homecoming Day attendance did not dampen the explosive Statesmen. Led by Gary Mendez’s brilliant playing, that resulted in three touchdowns, the Tryonmen registered their biggest romp of the season. Lambert, Royston, Keenan, and Holmes also tallied for the States- men . 109 HOBART 25 UNION 14. Hobart went into the second half trailing 14-6 against a powerful Union Team. An all out effort, led by Keenan and Mendez, enabled the States- men to come from behind and preserve their winning streak. Keenan, an aggressive halfback at 155 pounds, accounted for three of the Statesmen’s four touchdowns on plunges of five, two, and two yards. HOBART 26 ST. LAWRENCE 14. A hard hitting and vastly underrated St. Lawrence squad was able to throw a blanket over Hobart offense for three quarters. Trailing 14-7 in the last period, quarterback Art Lambert and halfback Mike Keenan teamed up to avert defeat. Lambert scored on a quarterback sneak and Bianchi’s conversion tied the score. Two minutes later a St. Law- rence fumble set up the Statesmen’s next scoring oppor- tunity with Lambert driving over center for the winning touchdown. The closing minutes of the game saw Royston race across the goal line for the final score. HOBART 19 HAMILTON o. Unbeaten Hamilton made its bid for fame in attempting to stop the unde- feated Orange and Purple. The Tryonmen had other ideas and led by Harrison and Mendez the final score was 19-0. HOBART o ALFRED 6. Before an overflow Fall Weekend crowd at Boswell Bowl, the historic Hobart winning streak was broken by a powerful Alfred team that retained its perfect record. The only score in the game came early in the fourth quarter when Saxon quarterback Moresco plunged over from the one, after the Hobart de- fense staved off the Saxon onslaught time after time in the third period. Joe Abraham (Trainer), Bob Teague (Line Coach), Augie Gates ( 955 Captain), Eddie Tryon (Head Coach). I IO JERRY ANGELE A native of Ilion, N. V., Jerry came to Hobart with a reputation that he has more than lived up to. In his senior year at high school, he was named an All- State guard. At Hobart he has played varsity foot- ball for four years and this year was chosen third team All-American. His outstanding play on the gridiron was the blocking of a kick against Alle- gheny and sprinting 39 yards for a touchdown. K,-. • Jhf „ re. WALT HARRISON A junior who hails from Brooklyn, N. Y. where he was All-City fullback at Erasmus Hall High School. Currently rated one of the best small college backs in the blast, Walt has an overall rushing average of over six yards per try. He was elected Captain of the 1956 squad and received the Most Valuable Player Award which he richly deserved. He was also chosen Honorable Mention Little All-American for 1955. The unsung hero of the powerful States- men line was Augie Gates. The stalwart Captain of the Orange and Purple led his team on to a memorable season that will not for a long time be forgotten.

Second Row—Burrows (Mgr.), Bonhurst, Davison, YVagenfeld, Stein, Smith, Dorchester, Seibert, Abraham (Trainer), Garnish (Coach). Lysle E. Garnish came to Hobart College in the Fall of 1950. Prior to this time, “Spike” coached Basketball, Baseball, Football, and Tennis at the University of Rochester 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 Basketball and Baseball Coach at Hobart in 1950. During the 1955 season, he coached the Freshman Foot- ball Team, in addition to his two Varsity assign- ments.

Lawrence By edging Alfred 54-50 in the final game of the season, the Hobart Statesmen brought to a close the most successful basketball season in the history of the school. Under the tutelage ot “Spike” Garnish, the quintet compiled a 15-5 record, sur- passing the previous mark of 12 wins set by last year’s squad. At the beginning of the season, the starting lineup was comprised of Art Lam- bert and Jack Strobel at the Forwards; Richie Weisglass at Center; I.en DeFran- cesco and Stan Cohen at the Guards. Many of the basketball fans in the area were wondering whether the team, minus the high-scoring Sonny Wilson, could turn in a favorable performance. The season opened with an easy victory over a mediocre Buffalo State team. Although the team showed a great deal of potential, they were as yet untried. Their first real test came on December 7 against University of Buffalo, a highly- regarded team. The final whistle found Hobart on the short end of a 83-72 score. Hobart bounced back from the defeat, stopping a good Hamilton outfit on our home court, 56-46. The team was now beginning to come into its own as they swamped Utica College, 94-68, scoring 56 points in the First Half. Double wins over Upsala, 81-60 and Hartwick, 67-50 in the Sampson Invitational Tournament, brought the record to 5-1. After the Christmas recess, the team never regained the fine edge they attained in the Tournament. The Statesmen started fairly well, bearing a well-coached but outclassed Univ. of Puerto Rico, 80-64, and then upending Alfred Univ., 83-72. Two successive defeats followed, the Statesmen bowing to Union, 78-75 and Col- gate, 84-62. The second half of the season began with victories over Kenyon, Ham- ilton, and Allegheny. Between semesters, Coach Garnish brought Bob Wetzel and Bob Albrecht from Freshman berths to Varsity status. Harvey Wiltsey, a fine Sophomore prospect, now began to make a steady appearance in the lineup. After playing an excellent First Half, the Statesmen lost to a strong LeMoyne squad. A win over R.P.I. preceeded a second but exciting loss to Univ. of Buffalo. Victories over Clarkson, St. Lawrence, Oswego State, and Alfred brought the sea- son to a close, with a 15-5 record, the finest in Hobart Basketball History. Some of the highlights of the 1955-56 season were the Hobart defense, which limited opponents to 60.2 points per game, ranking us Fourth among small colleges in the nation, the rebounding and fine all-around play of Richie Weisglass, the play of Freshmen Bob Albrecht and Bob Wetzel, the shooting of Art Lambert, and the victory in the Sampson Tournament. Also Congratulations to Eddie Tryon and the Freshman Team for a great season.

Watson, A. S., Kenmore, N. Y. 116 A definite improvement was realized by the 1955 Baseball squad, coached by Lysle “Spike Garnish and captained by Len DeFrancesco. Though winning only five out of the twelve games played, they were in contention down to the final inning in all but the Syracuse and Ithaca debacles. The five victories were marked by the tight pitching of Willie Byrne, and Lou Bush, backed by the dependable hitting of veterans Len DeFrancesco, Fred Rappaport and freshman sensation A! Watson. Watson was outstand- ing. Leading the club with .385 and provided Coach Gar- nish with the first good backstop since Willie Michaels. DeFrancesco was the first baseman and “holler” guy. Shortstop was the weak spot. Five men were seen at that position at one time or another during the season. Chuck Balis, C. J. Versteeg, Pica, Carpenter and Howie Smith all saw limited service at that spot. Smith played a bang up game at the hot corner when not hurt. Otherwise Car- penter moved over to third and Pica became the sole guardian ot second base. Dick Turoski, Gary Getman, and Rappaport were the outfielders backed up by such stal- warts as Jack Kennell, Don Damoth, and F.d Miller. A ringing double to left by football star Guy Martin scored the winning run in the ninth inning for the Red Raiders from Colgate. 'I’his run nullified excellent relief hurling on the part of Byrne who had taken over in the fifth for Bush, holding Colgate scoreless until Mr. Martin’s blow in the ninth. Pica was the offensive star for the home side getting four hits in five trips. Petey Comstock was belted for five runs in the very first inning at Syracuse and the Statesmen never had a chance, losing 14-5. Byrne stopped the Dutchmen from Union with a fine two-hit performance, also fielding his position beautifully and knocking in a run, as he was the whole show in the first win of the season. Behind Bush’s six-hitter Hobart continued on its win- ning ways by defeating St. Lawrence, 9-6. Rappaport pro- vided a large Spring Weekend crowd with a thrill in the very first inning when he smashed a four hundred foot homerun over the centerfield fence. A fifteen hit attack by Hamilton at Clinton stopped our favorites 8-5. Rappa- port hit another homerun in a losing cause, as five States- man errors contributed heavily to defeat. Watson went five for six as the Statesmen split a double- header with Canisius, losing the first 4-3 but coming back to win the nightcap 6-4. Byrne was the winning pitcher striking out nine as Watson knocked in three runs. At the end of this game Watson was hitting .538 and had hit safely in every game. Ithaca, with many men who are re- ported to be tied up with major league clubs, broke up what had been a close game for four innings with four in the fifth and five in the seventh, winning 12-2. Rappaport accounted for the two Hobart runs by knocking two more out of the park. At Geneva the Statesmen reversed an earlier loss knock- ing over Hamilton 3-2. Byrne pitched a four hitter and Rappaport knocked in the winning run with a sacrifice fly in the eighth. LeMoyne was beaten 3-2 for what turned out to be the Statesmen’s final win of the year. Byrne gave up only four hits but was beaten 5-3 by Clarkson Joe Gorman cripled in the eighth. R.P.I. won 6-3 in the final game when a leaky Hobart defense and fine pitching per- formance by Myron Schalz combined to keep the home side under the .500 mark. 7 CAPTAIN Lenny DeFrancesco A three letter man, Lennie is recognized as thL sparkplug of the team. Likeable Lennie has been a regular since he first donned a Statesman baseball uniform way back in 1953. When he first came, he was a switch hitter but found that most often he was successful when swinging from the right side of the plate. An agile defender, he is seldom credited with any errors while his batting average is among the highest on the squad. So well thought of by his teammates is he that Len has been re-elected Captain for the 1956 season. 118 Damoth scores Getman out at first 119 SOCCER Seated—Miller, Nichols, Zinn, Burhans, Pica (Cap!.), Ormstedt, Davison, Kolodny. Standing—Collins, Bur- rows, Wakeman, Baher, Cunningham, Wiltsey, Scoville, Demuth (Coach). Captain Ralph Pica and Coach Ray Demuth Under the tutelage of Ray Demuth, Hobart’s 1955 soccer team enjoyed a very unusual season. Losing its first three games of an eight game schedule the outlook for a success- ful season looked very dim. However, a revitalized soccer team took the field against LeMoyne defeating them and four opponents thereafter, the season terminating with the bootmen enjoying a five game winning streak. Before reviewing the season, something should be said about Coach Ray Demuth. Before coming up to Hobart, Ray attended Cortland State Teachers College 1948-1951. While there Ray participated on the lacrosse and soccer teams, captaining the lacrosse team in his junior and sen- ior years. He spent the following-two years at North Side High where he taught History and coached the J.V. foot- ball team. In 1953 Ray came to Hobart where he had the good fortunes of coaching Hobart’s first soccer team. Du- ring his first three years at the helm his teams have won 10, lost 7 and tied 1. This years team was built around veterans Ralph Pica, who captained this years team, Russ Davison, Bill Bur- hans, Bob Ormstead, Harvey Wiltsey and Bill Cody. As the season progressed the freshmen began to work well together with the veterans, and therein lies the story of the teams success and their five game winning streak. 120 SEASON RECORD HOBART i OSWEGO 4. Inexperience was a strong factor in this game, since it was Hobart’s opener and many of those that played were getting their first taste of college ball. Hobart’s tally came in the final period on a goal by Pica. HOBART o CLARKSON 3. A wet field proved dis- astrous to the Hobart booters. Wiltsey and Davison stood out on defense for the losers. HOBART 1 ITHACA 2. Fouls proved costly against Ithaca. They scored their first goal on a penalty kick in the opening period. Hobart knotted the score at i-i in the third quarter on a pass from VanRensselear to Pica. Ithaca then bounced back midway in the final period to score the winning tally. HOBART 4 I.eMOYNE o. After a three game losing streak the Pitchmen reared back to take LeMoyne 4-0 behind Pica and Davison. Pica scored a pair of goals in the first period with assists from Ormstedt and Burrows. Davison assisted Ormstedt on a goal in the final period and then scored himself to end the scoring. Burhans, Burrows, Pica, Davison. HOBART 3 BROCK PORT J.V. 1. Pica again led the attack, pacing Hobart with two goals. The first came on a pass from Nichols and the second on a penalty kick. Those came in the first and fourth periods. The other Hobart tally was scored in the second period by Miller unassisted. HOBAR7' 2 COLGATE FR. 1. Ormstedt paved the way for the Pitchmen’s third win, booting in 2 goals: in the first period and the second overtime period. HOBART 2 GENESEO 1. Hobart had to come from behind to win their fourth tilt. Geneseo scored early in the first quarter, but the Pitchmen bounced back to score two tallies to win. The first came in the second period, when Pica headed a kick from Bill Cody into the goal. The win- ning counter, was scored in the third quarter, when Orm- stedt took a pass from Pica and netted it. HOBART 2 HAMILTON 1. Hobart ended its season with its fifth straight conquest. Hobart did all of its scoring in the first period on a penalty kick from Pica, and a freak goal credited to Planck on a ball deflected into the goal by a Hamiltonian defender. Hamilton scored in the fourth period. PICA LEADS SCORING. Ralph Pica was the big man for the Pitchmen this year, as he scored eight goals and had two assists. Bob Ormstedt, captain-elect for next year was next with four goals, Ron Miller 1, and Russ Davison 1. Defensively, Wiltsey, Burhans, Margolin, Wakeman, Davison and Cody stood out. 1 a 1 Wiltsey boots one away GOLF Karelitz, Mozrall, Davidson, Weissman This season the team won two matches and lost five, led by the outstanding Chuck Curler and captain Steve Kare- litz. Hobart fared well on the courses throughout the sea- son. The linksmen were coached by Stan Chizinski, the professional at the Geneva Country Club. The team opened the season against Hamilton and lost 5 to 3M in a closely contested match, losing only on the last hole. The team then played host to Syracuse and los- ing the encounter 7 to 2. The next opposition for the links- men was Alfred, who in the last hole came through to win 6-3- Two days later at Schenectady the tallies were turned as Curler won the individual honors and the teams of Davison and Weissman and Curler and Mozrall also were victorious. At the Geneva Country Club a few days later, the Statesmen defeated Harpur 6 to 3. Gurler’s par ot 71 was the lowest of the season. The remaining four matches saw the Statesmen go down in defeat with Alfred, Hamilton and St. Lawrence; sal- vaging a tie in the final match with Clarkson. The team looks forward to an improved 1956 season. The absence of Chuck Gurler and John Mozrall will be felt but it is hoped that the few returning men and pos- sibly newcomers will enable the team to compel a winning record. 122 TENNIS Kneeling— Poritsky, Weisglass, Beldner. Standing—Wilhelm, Savits, Rooney. The 1955 Tennis team, captained by Bob Terhune and coached for the first time by F.ddie Tryon completed an outstanding 5 and 2 record, losing twjce to Hamilton. The netmen opened the season with victories over Alfred and Harpur. The scores were 7-2 and 6-1. This streak was interrupted by two defeats at the hands of Hamilton. However, the netmen re- turned to winning ways with decisive victories over Alfred, St. Lawrence and Clarkson. They won by scores of 6-3, 6-3, and 8-1. “Red” Beldner was elected captain for the 1956 season. The team is expected to have another fine record as returning members include, Richie Weisglass, Phil Mendell, Jack Rooney, Al Kirsch, Sandy Poritsky, Joel Savits and Fritz Welhelm. 123 SKI TEAM Kneeling—Huntington (Cap .), Hyde. Standing—Zinn, Demuth {Coach), Swan. John Huntington Joe Swan The Hobart Ski Team under the coaching of Ray Demuth lias been able to compete in various tournaments.

YACHT CLUB CHEERLEADERS -a SVvneveS Under the direction of the Hobart Athletic Department, the cheerleaders achieved an even greater degree of success this year. Captain Bennet Thomson headed a well organized squad which contained several freshmen from both Hobart and William Smith, thus insuring a poised and talented group for the future. There were several successful pep rallies including a giant bonfire which was a hightly spirited affair. The cheering of the students at the football games improved throughout the year. The enthusiastic squad which was expanded to 13, tried several new stunts and perfected their cheers with great efficiency. As a result of three years of active participation on the squad, both Capt. Thomson and David Schrieves will be wearers of the “H” next year. Mr. Statesman, Art Kenny, our j rooter. QUARTERBACK CLUB Four years ago, The Townspeople of Geneva and Alumni of Hobart College living nearby formed a group to express their interest in football at Hobart. Since that time its membership has grown to approximately sixty. The Quarterback Club meets every Monday night du- ring the football season. At these meetings, films are shown and the plays and strategy of the previous Saturday’s game are reviewed by Eddie Tryon, mentor of the States- men eleven. At the Annual Banquet of the Quarterback Club, held in honor of the players of the 1955 football season, Mike Keenan was voted the “Most Improved Player.” Each player received an individual trophy for their fine con- tributions to the team. 126 Paul Vogt, President of the Quarterback Club SOCCER Baher, K.

INTRAMURAL BOARD The Intramural Board is a rep- resentative group of the student body under the guidance of Francis L. Kraus, athletic direc- tor. F.ach fraternity and the neu- tral body are represented and select a secretary as their leader. Joel M. Savits was this year’s secretary and his duties included coordinating all intramural ac- tivities and maintaining records. The Intramural Board awards the Blessing Trophy to the fra- ternity which has the most points in the five contested sporting events during the year. It is given in memory of Rupert Blessing, one of the first to organize in- tramurals at Hobart. An out- standing precedent was estab- lished this year and that was the paying of services rendered by student officials. This has cre- ated finer officiating and assured each event of being controlled by an impartial judge. The Blessing Trophy, symbolic of excellence in the field of Intramural Athletics, was won by Phi Phi Delta Fra- ternity. Phi Phi placed second in softball, third in football, first in basketball, second in bowling and had three cham- pions in the Bronze Gloves Tournament. The Blessing Trophy is awarded in memory of Rupert Blessing, one of the members of the original Intramural Board which be- gan in 1929. The trophy is awarded on Moving Up Day and the recipient occupies the trophy for one school year. Kappa Sigma was runnerup for the award in 1954.

Y '45 I To consider the production of a yearbook as the work of a single individual would be a misconception. It is the integrated, coordinated work and cooperation of many people that brings about its successful completion. The final product encompasses the cooperation and industry of many individuals, a group too extensive to mention. I must, however, express my gratitude and appreciation to those who, through their devotion and interest, have played a major role in the completion of the 19 6 Echo. Martin Jacobs, serving as Associate Editor, contributed immeasurable aid, espe- cially in the areas of layout and photography. 1 want to thank Marv Bloom fur his fine cooperation and industrious work in advertising and art. To Martin Silfen, my successor, I want to extend my very best wishes and express my gratitude for his devoted work in the development of the theme and his cooperation in the coordi- nation of organizations and activities. To the Moser Studio of Rochester, New York and in particular to Allan Wolff and Louis Snipes, I want to express my thanks for a fine job of photography. To William J. Keller, Inc. of Buffalo, New York and in particular to Ted Hengerer and Mrs. Jewell Gates—my thanks for an excellent production job. Clifford Orr, Director of Public Relations, has offered much counsel in procedural matters. To Cliff, my appreciation. In closing, 1 would like to thank the entire Yearbook Staff, without whose coopera- tion the 1956 Echo of the Seneca would not have proven successful. 146 May 17, 1956 Edward 1 Ienry Shuster Editor-in-Chief A PRIZE-WINNING YEAR THE THINKING BOOK AT STAGE Long-standing customers, both yearbook staffs and advisors, are enthusiastic over the Keller yearbook program because experience has proved that application of its various services has made the job pleasant, easy, and gratifying. Our intimate method of yearbook counsel and assistance, based upon continual service, is governed by a sincere desire to main- tain the reputation that every Keller book is distinctive and custom-built. Many, as a result, win top critical awards. Publishers of Finer Yearbooks 33 Clarence A venue Buffalo 15, New York
