ECHO OF THE SENECA 1957 HOBART COLLEGE GENEVA, NEW YORK Administration Progression Distinction Creation Relaxation Competition Page 10 Page 22 Page 108 Page 11 8 Page 138 Page 160 The 20th Century has been characterized by the total mobilization of Human Society for the purpose of propelling into motion forces capable of altering the earth’s proportions. Science has revolutionized the Universe and has brought one great and unfath- omable concepts into the focus of everyday life; it has reduced an unknown globe to a familiar environ- ment as the macrocosm is to the microcosm. The in- terplay of forces has produced an age dominated by the mechanics of scientific man’s methods of de- struction. The magnitude of these potential civili- zation destroyers is a prospect which lingers in the mind of every educated man. Cities, people, and all inhabitants of the earth’s surface have felt the im- pact of this force which, unleashed without control, could reduce cities to skeletons and make whole civilizations mere shadows of reality—civilizations too weak to be considered active! The Atomic Age— as this 20th Century has been called—offers to the future a duality: a delicate balance between progres- sion and retrogression, between human existence in the form of society and no society, between life and death... . We, the students, will soon hold this balance. It will be our dilemma. And all our hopes for the fu- ture will remain but hopes—illusory—unless we use the Atomic Age to our advantage, not as a weapon of destruction but as an instrument for the preser- vation of a way of life—our life. And so we dedicate ourselves to the work of improv- ing our ever expanding society and, although the past will act as a guide, the future shall become the theatre in the production of a fruitful Atomic Age. 9+t MesfUVuGLm G. Foster Butterworth ( 892- 956) G. Foster Butterworth was a member of the Board of Trustees from 1952-1956. He was a member of the New York Law firm of Cadawala- der, Wickersham and Taft, and was a resident of Rye, New York. Mr. Butterworth was noted for his work as an Episcopal layman. He was Chanceller (legal advisor and assessor) to the Bishop of the Prot- estant Episcopal Diocese of New York since 1940, Trustee of New York Cathedral (St. John the Divine), and secretary of the Federa- tion of Protestant Welfare Agencies, among other religious and hu- manitarian work. Born in New York, Mr. Butterworth received his B.A. from Columbia University where he graduated Magna Cum Laude. He was gradu- ated from Columbia Law School in 1916, was admitted to the bar in the same year, and began his long and successful career as an attorney specializing in estates and trusts. 6 I Administration Inauguration... B.A. Harvard 1922, Doctor of Divinity 1946 Kenyon College At exactly four minutes alter 2 P.M. or Friday, October 12, 1956, the Reverend Dr. Louis Melbourne Hirshon was inau- gurated 19th president of Hobart College and 8th president of William Smith College, while an assemblage of more than 1500 people witnessed the return to the clerical tradition which had existed at the Colleges of the Seneca from 1822 until 1936. Delegates of more than 300 colleges, universities, and learned societies and priests of the Episcopal Church, an esti- mated 250 alumni and alumnae, six Episcopal Bishops including the Rt. Rev. Malcom F.ndicott Peabody of Syracuse, Bishop of Central New York, the Rr. Rev. Lauriston L. Scaife of Buffalo, Bishop of Western New York (both members of the Board of Trustees of the Colleges), and the Tt. Rev. Dudley Scott Stark, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Roch- ester, and Chancellor of the Colleges, the student body and faculty of Hobart and William Smith, family and friends of Dr. Hirshon, and other distinguished guests were all packed into the huge commencement tent on the green in front of Coxe Hall. This was the first time in the history of the Colleges that a president has been inaugurated outdoors, and the first time in this century that an inauguration has taken place on the campus, all previous inaugurations having taken place in the Geneva Theatre or in Trinity Church. Dr. Hirshon, formerly Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, Hartford, Connecticut, was elected to the Presidency of the Geneva Colleges last May and officially assumed his new duties last July. He succeeded Dr. H. Newton Hubbs, secretary and treasurer of the Colleges, as president. Dr. Hubbs received an honorary degree. The principal speaker at the exercises was Dr. Edward A. Weeks, Jr., editor of The Atlantic Monthly and a longtime friend and college classmate of Dr. Hirshon. In the induction address, Dr. Weeks said (in reference to Dr. Hirshon’s associ- ation with Christ Church Cathedral): “If a good Harvard man should do this (monumental work) in New Haven, he should do wonders at Geneva. He said that Dr. Hirshon had called himself a “repairman , and called him (Dr. Hirshon) “efficient and humanitarian. Dr. Weeks praised the small Liberal Arts Colleges and warned that they “must nor dilute their quality by increasing. “When you cater to the many, he said, “something has to give, and usually it’s quality.” Dr. Weeks also received an honorary degree. The induction was conducted by Raymond W. Albright, chairman of the Board of Trustees. The Rev. Dr. Hirshon took the oath saying, “1 do—God being my helper. In an address during Orientation Week, Dr. Hirshon remarked that he felt awkward at times as if he were a freshman. He has wasted no time in attaching himself to the hearts and minds of the entire College family. II T rustees • • • MR. RAYMOND W. ALBRIGH T Chairman of the Board of Trustees THE RT. REV.

The unit has tak- en great strides since its introduction on the Hobart campus in 1951. Under the command of Lt. Col. I.aRoy Stoltz, advances in organiza- tion and enrollment have resulted in an increase of interest in the ROTC movement. Two new officers—Major A. H. Beretta and Captain Thomas W. Barton have been added to the personnel. The barracks which house the offices have been revamped. The installation of a cadet lounge and reading room comparable to the officers’ clubs, so frequently discussed, has provided a place to spend leisure time for ROTC students. Using many materials from Sampson Air Force Base, other physical additions have been made, among them a three position rifle range in the New Chemistry Building. The highlights oi this year’s activities included participation of the officers, Drill Team and Band in the inauguration ceremonies on Octo- ber 12, the Annual Parents’ Weekend Review, the gala Military Ball on February 22, sponsored by the Arnold Air Society, and the annual Inspection-Review. Cross country, flights were taken this year to Ma- rianna, Florida, Moultrie, Georgia, Laredo, Texas and Bartow, Flor- ida, in addition to several local flights held during the regular drill periods. 18 Lt.

We entered in September, unaccustomed and be- wildered, and yet always optimistic. Our first year of firsts: Hobart’s first inter-collegiate soccer team; the first girl cheerleaders on campus; the first annual Parent’s Weekend. Sonny Wilson became the first basketbalf player in Hobart's history to score over 340 points in a single season. The Arnold Air Society was formed from the ranks of the outstanding advanced AFROTC cadets. And the plague of Rheinhold plagiarism swept through our ranks. Some of us returned — sophomores — fewer but “stronger.” Hobart's first inter-collegiate rifle team was formed; a new demerit system was installed by the AFROTC detachment. The I.F.C. announced its first limited and controlled rushing system; we became the first sophomore class in years to turn out in full force for the Frosh-Soph brawl. We won. Hobart's football team attained its first undefeated, untied season in its 63 year football history to become one of the most respected small college teams in the East. Sonny Wilson scored 43 points in a single basketball game. Air Force Secretary Talbott spoke at the graduation of the class of 1 955. Our Junior Class dominated the membership of the College Quiz Bowl team, competing for the first time on a national radio hook-up; our social calendar and our hands were slapped by six dry weekends; our athletic status continued its upward surge as the basketball squad finished the season wirh a 15-5 rec- ord—the best in Hobart's history. And some of us sat in the stands as the national sports spotlight played upon Boswell Field at the Annual North-South La- crosse game as Babe Kraus celebrated his 30th anni- versary as Hobart's lacrosse mentor. The inauguration of the Rev. Dr. Louis Hirshon as Ho- bart’s 19th President heralded in our senior year. The Colleges received a $100,000 anonymous grant for the completion of the Chemistry building which we had seen grow staggeringly from the ground over the previous three years. The New Student Union finally achieved its rightful status as a recreation room rather than a show case. Most of us sat for the first time in a greatly enlarged and improved Boswell Field. And we watched that day as Hobart ran rough-shod over our old football nemesis, Rochester, renewing an inter- rupted rivalry with a 20-0 victory. These are facts which we remember as we leave. But we must also recognize trends. Our four years was marked by a period of constant administrative change. Passing in review: two deans, Dr. Seymour Dunn and Dr. Walter Durfee; three Presidents, Dr. Alan Brown, Dr. Newton Hubbs, and the Rev. Dr. Louis Hirshon. We lived in an era of tremendous athletic upheaval at Hobart. Our varsity schedules were not only marked by outstanding won-lost percentages but also by remark- able upsets. Among the most notable of the team vic- tories: basketball upsets over LeMoyne and Colgate, a baseball win over highly touted Colgate, and foot- ball triumphs over Alfred, Rochester, and finally, Buf- falo. In our four year memory of football, we recall but three losses. And finally we will remember the revival of what can only be known as spirit.” When we came as Freshmen we were hit by Herald headlines proclaiming “student apathy and declaring that the school was “going to the dogs. We helped to revive the tradition of fresh- man hazing and, as a result, we have witnessed a re- turn of class unity. This has been our life at school—what we have ac- complished, what others have accomplished and we witnessed. We leave now for other accomplishments in a different world. We have lived at Hobart, sheltered. Our time here has been, in a sense, unreal because it has not come to grips with what is on the outside—beyond the halls of ivy. We have seen the outside through windows of information. We have seen the last four years of others' lives go by on pages. What follows is what we remember from the outside, what we did not en- counter but saw only in a mirror. We have watched it go by and we have not yet joined it. We go now to encounter the reality of experience,” to find “away from home and friends what the heart is and what it feels. We go to encounter . . . 20 CENTS SEPT. '53-JUNE '57 A decade adrift found its heroes and its symbols in driven, pessimistic but good men, in Joe Friday of “DRAGNET” and in James Dean of “Rebel Without C � ause. Sgt. Friday, sombre, quiet, followed criminals to the thudding dum-de-dum-dum thematic mood music of TV’s most popular cops-and-robbers program of 195.3. Old values, shaken by two wars, and the rise of a new ideology, promised deep changes. A profound longing arose that this generation which had come of age in a moment when dreams of a technological utopia were within grasp, in a nuclear tragedy, and die by self- execution. Human viciousness, multiplied by technology, was the unaccountable which threatened the future of man- kind. Joe Friday spoke with the monotone of a ticker- tape and a generation of scientific-minded viewers agreed that this was the way the world ran. The message of Sgt. Friday was that in the age of misery one might from time to time smile weakly. The old moral America kept the old moral values, but cynicism and relativism confronted the youth of the citadel of democracy. New men rose to power while the arch-symbol of youth and handsome liberal success perished in prison. The decade still adrift, was not without propulsion as the forces of revolutionary change besetting the civilization grew. The rift between old values and the unmapped luture and its strange values widened. The Selective Service Act brought grim news to spec- ulative heads who would have preferred alter five decades of war to talk awhile yet. They would like to discuss the dark vision of communism, its forbidding and malevolent character. It was now a time of trou- bles, worse than anytime in the past. Many events of the ’50’s were analogous to the 20’s. But, the condition of all thought was nuclear warfare, which distinguished this decade’s troubles Irom its kin in other ages. A handsome young student of the ,30’s, philosophical, liberal, revolutionary, delivered a nation in the 50’s from its pharoah. Gamel Abd-el Nasser became the beloved of F.gypt, of the uncommitted peoples from Tokyo to Cairo, of the Arabs, and told the world his moving story behind the July Revolution in the “Phi- losophy of the Revolution.” What was the aim of thi-s proud Egyptian? What did he mean to this generation of Americans? He was good of course, although a bit anti-semitic; he was going to do something for the Egyptians. We were for that. Events were taking shape: the good, the just were, as when America was young and revolutionary, winning. The smile of Nasser was a good smile like Eisenhower’s: old moral America glowed in reassurance of itself and we lent a hand. There was the case of a certain smiling, handsome prisoner whose serpent cry could scarcely be heard as it hissed into the corners ol the decade. But one day, the toothy Nassar sprouted horns and fangs, and the faintest tendency to a clipped moustache, and an inspired generation watched the s-s-s-s of the west poison Nasser. The generation was delt a handsome blow. 24 r True knowledge, as all knew, poor humanities stu- dents not so well as bright mathematicians, was to be found in Science. The X-RAC, the RCA color camera, and the urani- um reactor represent scientific developments which are hallmarks of sacred Progress. The generation was star- tled at times and would inquire, Progress to what? The failure of the leaders to provide a satisfactory answer led to great despair and indifference. Pile generation thumbed its nose in contempt at smug truths of science, smug churchly certainties, was bored with relativism and too tired to make existential leaps and began to live without thinking. The generation hooted at selective service in “The Girl He Left Behind,” deified James Dean because he smiled at nothing, and, looking into a mirror, espied itself, in long hair, a snarling smile, poor, tender, rebellious—Elvis Presley. Leading, hoping, a gem, once uncut: the mature J. Robert Oppenheimer. Made one of us by a certain un- fortunate “incident;” a fool confessed. Inspired by Mr. Murrow, “Oppy” was the Dean of academicians; Au- thor of sin, he made amends but he did not capture the imagination of the decade. As he passed, it seemed as if a serpentine whisper sadly pursued him. In the spring of ’54 two friends of Senator Joe Mc- Carthy, vomited up by the decade’s apparent need to examine the content of its sewers, showed two unhappy themes. Schine, neanderthalic, looks the neo-barbarian that the decade idolizes. Cohn is the tongue-lolling jackei, smart, preying, opportunist, handy with a switch- blade. Both are unmasked. But the near-hero, handsome McCarthy, is both together, moving on for power over principle, drifting from investigation to investigation, until trapped by his own coils. The kiss of death came unawares. A landing gavel expressed retribution: Hennings, innocents, “softies,” servants. I I i t ( 1 I Myrtha Trotter augured a great social change (an early Autherine Lucy) when she entered Claymont High School, Delaware. The Supreme Court had yet to act; the south had yet to rise again, warlike. But it would come; and when it did the decision of the genera- tion: where indeed lay the victory of this generation in America ? Less sinister and representing an aspiration of ath- letes perhaps as old as utopian dreams of political philosophers was the breaking of the four minute mile. Roger Bannister, running against all scientific calcu- lations of how to do it, on damp cinders, against wind, fastest in the first lap, sped to success—and immortal- ity. The children of the atomic age aspire also to speed to success but not to death’s immortality. «7 f The feminine, always suggestive of a time of troubles, dominated the decade: its hoodlums, its heroes, its artists. Liberace flashed to stardom in sequined coat and lovely curls, as much as in talented fingers and a penchant for middle-age women. Miss Cinemorsel Monroe and Joe united two loves of the decade: both were soon adrift in opposite direc- tions. T.V. felt its way, by charging headlong into the worst and the best its medium might offer. The domi- nance of feminine tones made T.V. a powder-puff wet with Noxema: “Pinky Lee,” “Howdy-doo-dee,” and “Canyon Jack.” Heights were rare but comedy by Jackie Gleason was bearable. Audrey, his wife, was very bearable in “The Honeymooners,” popular Glea- son show skit. While T.V. “Democriticized” itself, the world re- garded the phenomenon of the Russian Smile. The generation now living gazed with wonder and nearly died by fright. Krushchev and Bulganin wreathed in smiles portended very little good for the young genera- tion. In ’56 they died in Hungary in inspired revolution against such happy masters—an unhappy burden. •■28 The sporting world gathered itself for more history. John Tandy, only two months later, broke the four- minute mile and beat Bannister’s time. In September ’54 Rocky Marciano, despite a split nose, sent E.zzard Charles home without a title, which he now claimed. Heavyweight champion of the world. With his face shadowed by a thick beard, Sal (the Barber) Maglie stood on the mound in Brooklyn and scowled in October ’54. Of all the hated Giants, the Dodgers hated Maglie most. Three times this year he had beaten them. This time the Giants needed only one game to put the Dodgers out of the National League race. Maglie did it. 29 Favorable signs of world happiness—how brief!— were in the offering that October in ’54. The Yugoslavia of willful Tito accepted the Trieste settlement. Tito promised Yugoslav investment in Trieste. Russian Smiles were growing cheshirely. Even Ernest Hemingway might be pardoned in such a happy, unmilitant mood, if he delightedly re- ceived a mere traditionalism: the Nobel Prize. A few old signs made their appearance: a Todd jack- et, a style begun in 1928 by a Yale student, is fitted to a Yale freshman. But, the first year of our generation could have as a perfect synthetic symbol, nothing more fitting than “Scrabble” which took the country by storm. It was a game of words yet there was a fearful note in the chaos of its name and the first word written on the board fearful for what would soon worry us anew, what was perhaps the horrid end of generation: “conquest.” But of whom and by what? 30 I f PRESLEY Elvis (“The pelvis’’) Presley first rock-and-rolled his way into public recog- nition with his hit record, “Heartbreak Hotel.” Since then his success has sky- rocketed—in less than a year he sold over six million records. As well known for his hip-rolling style as for his voice, he has become the idol of teenagers, the bane of civic leaders. In the course of just a few months he has been barred from several cities, indirectly caused thousands of dollars worth of theater damage, and (shades of Frank Sina- tra) lost not a few suits to teen-age souvenir hunters. Unperturbed by what ap- pears to some as a social up- heaval, Elvis has continued making records, appear- ances, movies and money. 31 On October 5, Victor Riesel, crusading; labor ml umnist, was permanently blinded by an acid-throw- ing assailant. The incident aroused angry public reac- tion. Soon the main figures behind the assatilt were un- covered. President Eisen- hower promised to begin an attack upon the underworld infiltration of unions. And so it appears that an at- tempt to protect racketeer unions has resulted in the focusing of public attention upon them. 1956 saw the death of John Florence Sullivan, better known as E'red Allen. He began his career in the 1920’s as a vaudeville come- dian and juggler, but was soon topping radio popu- larity polls in his famous show, “Allen’s Alley.’’ more recently he turned to writing. His autobiography, Treadmill to Oblivion, was a best-seller. Much Ado About Me, his last book, was pub- lished posthumously. Be- fore his death, Allen was panelist on What’s My Line?” But he never felt at ease in the medium of tele- vision and had tried unsuc- cessfully to establish a TV program. With his death we have lost not only a great comedian, but a wry and acute commentator upon the American scene. 1 I I I : .‘52 The biggest thing in ’56 baseball was young Mickey Mantle. The twenty-five year-old ball player led the major leagues in just about everything. He had, for the second consecutive year, the highest slugging per- centage in both leagues-- 705 or 376 bases for 533 times at bat. He also led in batting (.353), runs batted in (130), and home runs (52—eight short of Ruth’s famed record). This makes Mantle the fourth player in major league history to lead both leagues in these three catagories at once. It is fairly obvious, then, that one of Mickey’s many a- wards was the “Most Valu- able Player of 1956.” i 33 1956 was a happy year for Ernest Borgnine. His films: Jubal, The Catered Affair and The Best Things in Life were all box-office hits. But his most unpre- tentious film, Marty, was by far his most successful. The “Best Picture of the Year,” it earned for Borg- nine the Oscar for his per- formance in it. This was the year Dave Sime of Duke proved him- self to be one of America’s foremost runners—a feat he accomplished in the short span of two months. On May 5 he topped an old world record by running the 220-yard low hurdles in 22.2 seconds. Six days later he ran the 220-yard dash. It took him 20.1 sec- onds to crash through an- other world record. He equalled the record for the 100-yard dash of 9.3 sec- onds on May 19. Finally, June 9 he broke his own previous record for the 220- yard dash. He shaved the time from 20.1 to an even 20 seconds. There’s no tell- ing what new records lie’ll break once he catches his breath. :54 On July 16, John Ringling North sadly announced that “the tented circus is a thing of the past.” With that America’s last Big Top folded. In the future, per- formances of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus will be limited to air-conditioned indoor arenas. The only other two circuses—The Clyde Beatty and King Brothers circuses—had suspended their operations within a month of North’s announce- ment. Their passing marked an end to one of America’s most cherished institutions—The Big Top. To the delight of Americans and the relief of Monac- cans, Hollywood actress Grace Kelly was married to Prince Rainier III, sovereign of Monaco. The marriage took place April 19 in the Roman Catholic cathedral of St. Nicholas in Monte Carlo after a civil ceremony the day before. The wedding was covered by 1500-1700 press, radio, and TV reporters and photographers. Monacans breathed easier after the ceremony, for un- less the Prince produces a royal successor, the small kingdom will fall to France. This January they had even more reason for celebration. Princess Caroline, heir to the throne, was born. Fifty lives were lost when on a foggy night on July 26, 1956, the Andrea Doria crashed into the Swedish liner, Stockholm. The ice-breaking bow of the Swedish ship ripped one-third into the Andrea Doria’s side, through corridors and staterooms. Due to a forty-five One night, at the Marine training base at Parris Is- land, a company of recruits were led by their Sergeant on a disciplinary night-march. The last part of their march led th;m through Ribbon Creek. As they waded tluough the waist-high water it became deeper and more turbulent. Soon the men were struggling to stay on their feet. The march ended in disorder as some of the men lost their footing and were swept downstream. Many were unable to swim. The “disciplinary march” turned out to be a disaster. When the last survivor straggled back to camp it was discovered that six ma- rines had lost their lives. S Sgt. Matthew McKeon was immediately court martialed. But it seemed that the Marines were on trial as well as McKeon. Their rigor- ous method of training was under attack—their belief that in training they must risk the lives of a few to toughen the recruits and prepare them for war. These principles were upheld by a military court which ac- quitted McKeon of manslaughter, oppression of troops, and conduct detrimental to the service. He was found guilty, however, of homicide due to “simple negligence” and drinking in a recruit barracks. He was sentenced to 3 months imprisonment and demoted to Private’s grade. degree list the Italian liner was unable to launch its life- boats, but fortunately help arrived within three hours. The long inquiry and trial which developed was just recently cut short by an out of court settlement. The total loss amounted to millions of dollars. 1956 witnessed a grand example of mind over matter and man over matter. An American housewife cata- pulted a centuries old Irish housewife named Bridey Murphy into the gullible imaginations of millions of Americans. Their hope: to lend their shallow, and some- what materialistic minds an apparition of a higher order—a belief in re-incarnation. Tired of 20th Century Reason they yearned to return, if only briefly, to the romantic times when the world wasn’t bound by the slide rule, but rather, when the slide rule was bound by the world. But while some longed for the supra-rational, another man, Dr. Jonas Salk, quiet- ly combined faith with know-how and discovered the polio vaccine. The Rea- son that so many wanted briefly to escape in order to lend some supernatural longevity to their lives had, as in the past, provided a much more tangible, though shorter, term of life. .‘57 Till last March, the nation waited expectantly for the President’s decision. Would he run? He had been beset by two serious illnesses- coronary thrombosis and ileitus. But finally he told the nation: “We will see what the American people have to say about it.” The Ameri- can people responded by electing Eisenhower over Adlai Stevenson by a unanimity, second only to Roosevelt’s victory ovci Landon in 1936- 35,500,000 to 9,500,000. Ike’s creed was liberalism in terms of needs, conservatism in terms of money. Pie called for a moderate expansion of the social role of government and his party’s slogan was “Peace, Progress, Prosperity.” The only troubles on the American scene were low farm prices and troubled race-relations due to the Supreme Court decision on racial segregation. This, however, was not enough to elect a Democratic president. Two unusual conditions tend to vitiate the president’s victory: One is that for the first time in more than a century the party winning the presidential election has failed to gain control of both houses of con- gress. And also, this marks the first time a president has been legally barred from running again. Both situations will have their effect on the President’s power. How much they will encumber him remains to be seen. The one thing certain is that President Eisenhower is one of the most popular executives in American history. I 38 The 1956 World Series games produced a hero, Yankee, Don Larsen. He pitched the first perfect World Series game in base- ball history. The baffled Brooklyn Dodgers after 27 fruitless tries, and many more swings, failed to dust off first base. But, still un- daunted, the Dodgers went on to beat the Yanks and capture their first Series victory and, in the process, break the Yanks five con- secutive World Series win- ning record. r 4 When Egypt’s President Nasser seized the Suez Ca- nal, the Mid-East situation immediately presented an altered, exacerbated pic- ture. The economy of Eu- rope and Britain depends largely on oil flow through shareholders in the newly nationalized Suez Canal Corporation, demanded that Nasser either restore the canal or allow it to become an internationally controlled waterway. Nas- ser refused calling a council of Mid-Eastern nations at Dharhan and securing the approval of King Saud of Saudia Arabia and Shukri el-Kuwatli of Iran. George Bernard Shaw was a familiar personality to 1956 theater goers in New York City. Two of his plays, Major Barbara and Saint Joan and an adaption of Pygmalion, My Fair Lady, had successful openings on Broadway. E11 i Wallach and Glynis Johns starred in the Shavian production of Major Barbara and a new actress, Siobhan McKenna rose to fame in a short pe- riod of time with her interpretation of St. Joan. My Fair Lady became the season’s most popular produc- tion, featuring Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews. A swift, hard left hook ended the fight career of Archie Moore and gained his opponent, Floyd Patter- son, the world’s heavyweight boxing championship. A lithe 21 years of age, Patterson became the youngest boxing champion in history. Born in a North Carolina cabin and raised in Brooklyn, Pattersons rise to success was rapid. In 1952 he won the Olympic title. Then, switching to professional boxing, he was victorious in 30 out of 31 fights. Patterson was the odds underdog in his battle with Archie Moore. The older, more experienced fighter had learned a lot in his 156 professional fights. But his age spoke the difference; he was too sluggish for his young opponent. Moore was counted out in the fifth round and Patterson gained both a title and a Si 16,000 purse. Versatility in athletics that no woman and few men have ever achieved was only half of the reason that Mildred Didrikson Zaharias was one of the most notable fig- ures of her lifetime. In her 42 years she had established herself as a humanitarian. She had amassed as many friends as tro- phies. And there were quite a few tro- phies. In the 1930’s she had no equai in track, basketball, tennis, swimming, div- ing, shotputting, lacrosse, fencing, polo and billiards. For fifteen years she led women’s golf, winning and earning more than any woman in history. The Babe won everything she set out to win with one exception. She was idolized by her husband, the wrestler turned Sports Promoter, George Zaharias. And when she died, it caused one of her fans, a Mr. Eisenhower, to remark, “Every one of us feels sad that finally she had to lose.” When she left Hollywood, Ingrid Berg- man had no peer. She was regarded by many as the living Joan of the entertain- ment world, a woman surrounded by a veil of magnificence in her field. Away in Italy, in exile from her public, she became the center of scandalous gossip. In her return to American screens, La Bergman showed herself to be as wonderful an ac- tress as ever. Scoring in Anastasia, she co-starred with the first lady of the thea- tre, Helen Hayes. 41 The amazing trials in Poznan, Poland moved sudden- ly to their end: the defendants’ outspoken statements that they had joined in the June 1956 Poznan riots be- cause of the misery, tyranny and Soviet domination in Poland were embarrassing the Red regime. The first group of defendants charged with murder was let off with surprisingly light four-—and four-and a-half—year sentences. Two defendants in the second trial were ac- quitted, one got a suspended sentence, six accused of stealing and wielding arms got prison terms up to six years. The third trial of eight indicted for attacking the militia was being rushed to a verdict. As for many other Poznan prisoners, the Communists hastily canceled or postponed plans to try them. The Olympic games at Melbourne' saw the double victory of Vladimar Kuts, the hammy Russian long dis- tance runner. Kuts thrilled the capacity packed audi- ence with his comical antics and his gestures of friend- ship toward the crowd. Kuts was victorious in 1500 meters and 400 meters and was instrumental in the team victory for the Soviet Union. I The winter of 1956 witnessed one of the most coura- geous battles of a people for their freedom. The sattelite nation of Hungary suddenly exploded into rebellion, I attempting to expel the Russian forces. It started as a student demonstration in Budapest. When the students attempted to storm a radio station to present their demands, they were opened fire upon by police. This touched off a revolt that soon raged through all of Hungary, finding its roots in the bitter antipathy of its people. For a while it seemed they had won. The Soviets, surprised by the intensity of the rebellion, promised to remove its troops from Hungar- ian soil. But soon afterwards, in a surprise movement, they advanced with tanks and new recruitments, surrounded Budapest and then recaptured the nation. The revolt, though unsuccessful, brought many changes. It forced Russia to reconsider its “de-Stalin- ization” program and satellite policy, greatly affected world opinion, and created countless new problems for the Soviet nation. 43 The freedom loving people of Hungary have been forced to wear the yoke for eleven years now. The feeling of loyalty to a cause which was imposed upon them has been absent in the hearts of these satellite subjects. The reign of terror and the denial of the basic freedoms has caused a vacumn to set in and a feeling of futility to overrun their daily lives. The subjects of a totalitarian regime must arise in mass and cast off this yoke which has been burdening them for so long a peri- od. The desire for freedom and self-government and the elimination of those forces which have been violating the sovereign rights of the people must be attempted even at the price of death. The free peoples of the world stood by horrified at the treatment given to the Hungarian people by their imperialistic rules. People of Soviet Hungary fought valiantly to preserve their independent status as a nation and to drive out the elements which have controlled their minds as well as their bodies. The moral pressures exerted by the outside world against this usurpation of power by a external force were great. The fight for freedom is universal; the price paid is also universal. The people of the United States saw the opportunity to aid the people of Hungary. The colleges of America offered scholarships to Hungarian Students. American families offered assistance to the families of the driven out Hungarians. We in America recognize the desire for independence. The students, faculty, and administration of Hobart and William Smith Colleges have done their share in the crusade for freedom. Compared to the total picture, our efforts appear to be small. In reality, we have given an opportunity to a Hungarian youth to learn the Democratic life and to learn the real meaning of freedom . . Someday these youths will return to their homeland and lead the way to freedom amongst their people . . . The American youth, realizing their duty, came to the aid of their fellow students . . . God bless them all. The long-awaited arrival of two Hungarian students was partly fulfilled last Tuesday. Laszlo Darko, from Buda- pest, Hungary, arrived on campus last Tuesday evening at 7 p.m. He was met at the station by Dr. Kerteze of Geneva, Dick Block, chairman of the Hungarian Student Relief Fund, and Marty Silfen, with whom Darko will room. He was taken to Sacone’s for dinner, where he shed light on some of the details concerning his coming to the United States. He said that he had no difficulty leaving Hungary in so far as the police were concerned. The only hardship in leaving his native country was the parting with his family. He left, however, with his family’s knowledge. Darko left Hungary on November 20, 1956. He arrived in the United States on December 3. Since his coming to America, he attended Hard College in Allendale, New York. There he was tutored for slightly less than a month. However, he did not finish the course. The college officials here felt that he could learn more quickly if he came to Hobart as soon as possible. Here his experience with the language will be more general and he will probably pick it up faster than if the lan- guage was simply drilled into him. Above: Lazio wearing the uniform of the Hungarian Army, lietow: Coming face to face with the English language in its most popular form, the magazine. 46 Darko has had some formal education. He has completed what would be the equivalent of two years of college. He stated that he could not go on to a university because his father was not a Communist. While going to school, Darko achieved a very commendable scholastic average. He has never received any grade other than A or B. As of this mo- ment, his main interest lies in Geology. However, he has also expressed a desire to learn about business. The Administration will give Darko some aptitude tests and other examinations to determine his approximate ability. If he fairs well, the decision whether or not to attend Hobart is his own. Darko will not begin to take courses for actual credit im- mediately. Instead, he will audit several courses. He has yet to master the English lan- guage. However, for the short time he has been in the coun- try, he speaks English re- markably well. Next Septem- ber he will begin regular classes. tbove: Lazio at Ping Pong in the Union Asked if he had anything to say concerning his new sur- roundings here, Darko said, 'I am very very happy to be here. I would like to learn English quickly and I ask Hobart students to help me to understand English' Darko also said that he would like to fit in as easily as possible. He does not want students to feel he is anything more or loss than any other Hobart stu- dent.

A small group of men, usually five in number, are chosen for this honor from the Junior class. These men are “tapped” as they leave the college chapel during Moving-up Day ceremonies. This sign of recognition at Hobart College comes only to those men who represent a combination of aca- demic, social and extra-curricular achievement. Its members include athletes, campus publication heads, and leaders in student government. The sole qualification for Druid selection is “most outstanding on campus.” The Society was established at Hobart on December 12, 1903. While the society is founded on recognition, the Druids serve as guardians of Hobart tradition and advisors to the president on student affairs. Aside from their customary duties during Freshman Orientation Week and there- after, the Druids this year were instrumental in the enforcement of the “beanie” tradition. 109 Chimera Arthur Lambert, President Harvey Wiltsey, Secretary Thomas Brown Brandon Warden Albert Watson Richard Schwartz Harry Bowie Michael Letts Brown, Warden, Watson, Wiltsey, Schwartz, Bowie, Letts This Junior Honor Society derives its name from the Chimera of Greek mythology which was a female with the body of a goat and the head and tail of a lion. Each year the men elected to Chimera from the incoming Junior class are selected on the basis of their extra-curricular activities, athletic and academic records, as well as many other aspects of cam- pus life at Hobart. In addition to the other honor societies, Chimera aids in providing tours and accomodations for prospective students as well as other visitors. The feature of the year, Spring Weekend, is under the supervision of the Junior Honor Society. 110 Orange Key Kenneth Northrop, President Michael Rosen Robert Wetzel Paul Brody Leslie Stark Thomas Kotas Seymour Margolin David Cole Joseph Waters William West Rosen, Wetzel, Brody, Stark, Kotas, Margolin The Orange Key Society is the Honor Society of the Sophomore Class and was founded in 1926. Freshmen who have shown great ability in campus leadership and extra-curricular activities while maintaining satisfactory academic standards are accorded this rec- ognition. The Society fills the role of official student reception committed at Hobart College assisting in the conduction of Sub-Freshmen Day in the Spring and Freshmen Orientation Week at the beginning of the school year. This year the members have each assumed the role of adviser to ten or eleven freshmen and the task of aiding the Ad- missions Office on a regular basis throughout the year. The Orange Key Society also takes charge of the annual Fall Weekend festivities. The Society is self-perpetuating and announces the next year’s membership on Moving-l p Day each Spring. Ill Pi Gamma Mu . . . The New York Rho Chapter of Pi Gamma Mu, the Honorary Social Science Society, was found- ed at the colleges in 1953. The purpose of the organization is to foster interest in all fields of the social sciences. The Fall discussions will cen- ter on the problem of segrega- tion. In order to qualify for mem- bership the student must attain an average of ‘B’ or better for a total of twenty hours in the So- cial Sciences.

Phi Delta, The Honorary Jour- nalistic Society at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, was founded in 1947. Its objectives are to give recognition to stu- dents who have made outstand- ing contributions to College Jour- nalism, and to encourage efforts in this and related fields. For membership, a student must have either held position on two or more college publications or have done other literary work meriting recognition. Matthews, Steinberg, Warden, Lynch, Herendeen (President) 112 Epsilon Pi Sigma . . . Epsilon Pi Sigma was estab- lished in 1924, and expanded to include both colleges in 1939. It’s purpose is to recognize and reward scientific work of merit and to increase interest in the sciences at these colleges. To qualify for membership a stu- dent must show special ability in his scientific work and satis- factorily complete a certain num- ber of hours. Epsilon Pi Sigma sponsors the Science Club, which presents lecturers of both the- oretical and practical topics and discusses new trends in science. Tau Kappa Alpha . . . Tau Kappa Alpha is the Na- tional Honorary Debating So- ciety. The Hobart chapter was established on campus in 1935, and recognized in 1946. The pur- pose of Tau Kappa Alpha is to honor outstanding speakers and debaters, and to stimulate the growth of better and more effec- tive public speaking and deba- ting. The qualification for mem- bership is two years of service on the debating team. 11.3 Mcndell, Lewis, Mirkin (President) Phi Sigma lota. . . Phi Sigma Iota, the national honorary Romance Language so- ciety, was founded in 1929 at Allegheny College. The Phi Eta chapter was established at Ho- bart and William Smith in 1939. The objectives of the society have been to erect a bond be- tween nations who speak Ro- mance Languages and to encour- age scholarship in this field through research and discussion. A research paper is presented by one of the members at each of the monthly meetings. Seated: Wakeman, Wilcox (President), Petrizzi, Standing: Loy, Ganzauge, Epstein, Nystom, Flint IRHS.

It originated on this campus in 1916 and now has a membership of 75 students. LTitil last year, this cultural group was called the International Relations Club, but since adopting a clause requiring a 2.5 average for admittance, it has automatically become an honor society. Kappa Kappa Psi. . . Gamma Epsilon chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi, National Hon- orary band fraternity was found- ed on May 30, 1953. Because they felt the need for a closer and more fraternal tie within the Band, twelve members of the Hobart Marching Band organ- ized this fraternity at Hobart. Besides promoting fellowship within the Band, Kappa Kappa Psi has encouraged and promoted improvement in the Band through numerous service projects. Sealed: Willing, Bodine, D’Angelo, Tanncn.

The student body elects its representatives to the Board at the end of the Spring term, with the exception of first semester freshman representatives who are elected soon after their orientation in the fall. In addition to each of the four classes, the Inter- Fraternity Council and the Inter-Dormitory Council also elect representatives to the Board. 118 Intra-Fraternity Council. • • Seated: Gardner (President), Gruber, Van Rennselaer, Rowsom (Vice-President), Wiltsey (Secretary-Treasurer), Basner, Franco, Browne, Standing: Ziegelmair, Peters, Cochran, Corbett, Schamore, Robins, Cali, Polley, Jones, Letts The Inter-Fraternity Council was founded ten years ago. Its purpose is to facilitate cooperation among the fraternities on campus and promote the interests of Hobart College. All ten houses are represented by this co-ordinating body. They meet once every week under the leadership of Peter H. Gardner for discussion and voting. The Inter-Fraternity Sing, an annual event, was again sponsored by the I.F.C. but this year it had special significance. All the proceeds obtained from ticket sales were donated to the Hungarian Student Refugee Fund. The I.F.C. also voted to contribute an additional $350 to the fund. 119 Martin E. Silfen ZdtitMA...

In 1863 the directorship of the Echo passed from the hands of the soph- omores to those of the Juniors under whose guidance the yearbook 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. The Echo reveals the main aspects of the academic, social, religious and athletic life of the campus. “The Atomic Age” the theme of this years’ Echo, dramatizes the revolutionary character of the twentieth century and the relation of college students to the means of destruction. H Book. . . Seated: Hilken (Editor), Hosted, Steele, Rowsom. Standing: Rothstein, Metcalf,Van- Rensselaer, Tucker The “H” book is published annually, by representatives of the Junior Class. It is the offi- cial guidebook of the college and its primary function is to famil- arize freshmen and transfer stu- dents with Hobart traditions. It contains, a guide map of the campus, the Constitution, Ho- bart’s traditional songs and cheers the school calendar, past athle- tic teams, the major extracur- ricular activities, and a concise description of the campus fra- ternities. Review. . . The Hobart Review aims at further- ing the interest of literary expression. The Review is solely a student publica- tion which has been in existence on the Campus for the past seven years. In it is contained short stories, verses and essays written by the students of Hobart and also written by contemporary and past outstanding authors. The Review comes out once a semester and it is partially supported by the student tax fee. This year the Hobart Review displayed a va- riety of interesting articles submitted by the students. Stephens, Sloat, Hammond (Editor) 122 Collegium Oratorium. . . 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 na- tional concern, in an attempt to gain a better understanding of the issues, and to increase their ability to express their feelings and beliefs. This year the group has had its most active year in its history, and has had repeated success in many interesting intercollegiate debates and tournaments. During the 1956-57 school year, the Collegium Oratorium debated against the larger schools of the country instead of the traditional small school opponents. l'he team traveled over 5,000 miles, thus making it one of the most active groups on the campus.

The purpose of the club was to unite in fellowship those men who shared common experience through the service of their coun- try. The group had a membership of over ninety veterans, making it the largest organized club on the Colleges’ campus. The group was responsible for the most successful social function of the fall semester — a masquerade dance entitled, “Dante’s In- ferno.” The Statesmen. . . Norton, Lightcap, Jones, Keplinger, Barker, Maier, Hider, Backus, Friedenburg In 1952 several students under the leadership of Ron Mombello started a new choral group called the Hobart Statesmen. In its first few years the group did not meet with immediate success. Now under the leadership and guidance of Mr. Merrian, a di- rector of a local church, the statesmen have become a prom- inent group on campus and have since been successful. They have sung at many of the college- sponsored functions such as pep rallies, variety shows, dances, etc. The Statesmen have been enjoyed by all who have listened to them perform. W. E. O. S., the radio station of the Colleges of the Seneca, was founded in 1948. It operates thirty three hours a week, from seven-thirty to one p.m. Sunday through Friday. The station has been hampered by a lack of funds but has managed to maintain the high quality of performance of a first class campus radio station. New equipment has been pur- chased and technical improve- ments have added to the effec- tiveness of the broadcasts. The station has provided coverage of Hobart inter-collegiate athletic events as well as a well rounded coverage of music, news and panel discussions. The station is a member of the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System and broad- casts from the studios in the base- ment of Smith Hall. WEOS . . . 124 Meyer (Station Mgr.), Kazlow, Marks, Chapman.

The Council aids in the promotion of religion, and attempts to create a mutual understanding between all re- ligious groups at the colleges. It also acts as a medium of exchange for information regarding any member organization. Although meetings are regularly scheduled for the beginning and end of each school year, matters requiring special attention frequently ne- cessitate additional meetings. Under the dusk of a Sunday evening, The Motet Choir of Saint John’s Chapel can be heard. The selected voices of both colleges and the Schola Cantorum constitute this mixed chorus of about twenty-five mem- bers. Their primary function is to provide music for the morning and evening chapel services on Sunday. Occasionally during the year the group ventures forth to sing at other Churches in dif- ferent cities. In the past the choir has visited Syracuse, Rochester, and Bradford, Pa. These recitals are most common during Lent. The group, whose primary inter- est is Church music, is under the direction of Professor Lindsay LafFord, who is also the organist.

E. Griffith The Little Theater, under the able direction of Mr. E. E. Griffith, presents dramatic works of lasting interest to the school and the community. W. Somerset Maugham’s “The Constant Wife” was presented for three days beginning March i6, 1956. It was so well done, that it was presented again during commencement weekend. It is a sophisticated drawing room comedy, based on the idea that so long as a wife is supported by her husband, it is up to her to be faithful to him, but if the husband is not faithful to her, and she supports herself she is entitled to lead her own life. On May 17-19, “Ikhnaton,” by William Grammar, a Geneva Resident, was presented. It is a play based on the life of the Egyptian Pharoah Ikhnaton and Queen Nefertiti. Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” was presented from November 7-11. It was played to full houses for all four nights. “The Four Poster,” by Jan de Hartog was presented on December 6 and 7. It is a chronicle of a husband and wife, from their wedding night in 1890, till they pack and move thirty five years later. This play requires the use of only two characters. What distinguished this performance from others was that in each of the three acts of the play, different actors took the parts of the same characters. As part of his honors work, Glen Milken wrote “King Midas and the Golden Touch.” It was presented in Coxe Hall Auditorium on December 12 to an audience of 260 Geneva children. After- wards, it was taken out on a tour to several schools within the area. On J anuary 15 and 16 The Experimental Theater presented two plays,” No Exit,” by Sartre, and “The Proposal,” by Chekhov. The plays were student directed under the supervision of Mr. Griffith. “No Exit,” directed by Bob Mareck, is an existentialist drama concerning three people in hell, and points out Sartre’s belief that “Hell is other people.” “The Proposal,” directed by Simm Landres, is a “semi-farce produced semi-subtly.” It is concerned with the absurdities following a clash of similar personalities. 130 % 1 Thomson, Durkee, Edcll, Mareck 131 Childrens Theater. • • written directed and produced by GLEN A.

The Herald is the oldest continuous newspaper in Geneva and is a member of the National Col- legiate Press Association. The Hobart Marching Band. . . The Hobart Marching Band performed admirably during the 1956-1957 school year. The band provided a great deal of color and school enthusiasm during the football season. The band performed at the home football games, pep rallies, the R.O.T.C. dress parade, and the parade on Fall weekend. Its fine performances, were largely due to Mr. Nick V. D’Angelo and its Sophomore drum major Ralph Elliott. Most of the music selections and arrangements designs of the half time shows were done by the band members.

Boh Ormstedt First Team All-State Playing its first year of strictly varsity competition the Hobart hooters, under the fine coaching (if Ray Demuth, complied a commendable 4-3-1 record. The Orange and Purple won over Lemoyne 1-0, Geneseo Sta te Teachers 1-0, Buffalo State Teachers 3-0, and Hamilton 2-1 in overtime. Losses came at the hands of Ithaca 1-3, Clarkson 2-3, and Rochester 1-5. The team captained by senior, Bob Ormstedt, who was also the leading scorer on the team with five goals. Other point getters were Bob Miller and Claude I lenry, 2 each, Nichols, Tom Watson, Cody and Kolodny with one each. The Statesmen were weakened before the season started when they lost the services of their star fullback, Harv Wiltsey. Wiltsey had been a standout in his first two seasons and would have again provided much defensive strength. Like last year the Orange and Purple started off the campaign badly but managed to finish up strongly. The Statesmen lost two of their first three games, losing the opener at Ithaca, winning the next at Lemoyne and the losing to Clarkson in double overtime. A tie with Oswe- go State Teachers quieted things down. Then Hobart put on their usual late season spurt by copping three out of their next four games. The only loss came at the hands of the powerful Rochester club. In the recent all-state elections Hobart placed its captain Bob Ormstedt on the first team and Buzz Kolodny and Bill Cody on honorable mention. 1()0 HOBART i ITHACA 3. The 1956 season opened on a disappointing note, as Ithaca ended Hobart’s five game winning streak from the 1955 season 3-1. Cap- tain Bob Ormstedt scored the only statesman goal on a penalty kick with 15 seconds remaining in the first half Goalie Kam Baher and full back, Buzz Kolodny’s defensive work kept the score down. HOBAR T 1 LEMOYNE o. In the second game the Orange and Purple evened their record by edging Lemoyne 1-0. Hobart’s goal was again scored by Orm- stedt on a pass from Kolodny in the final quarter. Goalie Baher turned in another fine performance, boasting 16 saves. HOBART 1 ROCHESTER 5. In the seventh game the Statesmen took their worst bearing, losing to a powerful Rochester team 5-!. Three missed penalty kicks hindered Hobart. Henry tallied the only Hobart goal. HOBART 2 HAMILTON 1. Playing on a snow covered field at Hamilton, the Statesmen edged the home team 2-1 in two overtimes. Ormstedt’s score with three minutes remaining provided the tie, while Kolodny’s first goal of his collegiate career won tile game with 15 seconds left in the second overtime. This was the final game for Plank, Kolodny and Ormstedt. H51 HOBART 2 CLARKSON 3. Alumni field was the scene of a double overtime loss to Clarkson 3-2 in the Statesmen’s third contest. An early Hobart lead of 2-0 provided by Ormstedt and Bob Miller was overcome by the visitors, who went on to score the winning goal with ]4 minutes left in the second overtime. Despite the loss, Hobart dominated play, attempting 27 shots to Clarkson’s 11. HOBART 2 OSWEGO 2. In the next game another double overtime encounter with Oswego produced a 2-2 tie. Hobart drew first blood when Ormstedt scored in the second canto on a pass from Cody.Oswego tied it up in the same quarter. After half time entertainment by Oswego, T. Watson put the Statesmen ahead on a pass from Ormstedt only to have the visitors tally again on a penalty kick. HOBART 1 GENESEO TEACHERS o. In the fifth game Claude Henry kicked in the only goal of the con- test to give Hobart their second win, 1-0, over Geneseo Teachers. Cody and Kolodny were outstanding on de- fense as was Goalie, Baher with 23 saves. HOBART 3 BUFFALO STATE o. The sixth game saw the Orange and Purple win their second game in a row by defeating Buffalo State 3-0 in a roughly played contest. Messersmirh, Henry and Ormstedt were in- jured. Goals were scored by Cody from 30 yards out, Miller and ‘'Chuck Nichols. Tennis. . .

Opening against Alfred, the Statesmen won handily, 8—1, losing but one singles match during the afternoon. Harper proved our next victim follow- ed by a 7-2 victory over St. Lawrence. The only loss of the season was suffer- ed at the hands of a very powerful Hamil- ton squad, undefeated in over 2 years of competition. Bouncing back, Tryon’s men came up on the long end of a 9-0 match with Canisius, squeezed by a revengeful Al- fred squad, 5-4 and closed out the sea- son with an 8-1 decision over Clarkson.

Coach, Edward Tryon The 1956 edition of the Hobart statesmen although comparatively weak in depth, but sparked by Little All American mentions, Capt. Walt Harrison, Art Lambert, and Ernie Lisi, exercised a preponderance of that “Old Hobart Determinashun” to compile an excellent 7-1 season. New records were set as Capt. Walt Harrison erased Bill Morton’s 1943 yard rushing record by gaining 2071 yds. during his Hobart career. Quarterback Art Lam- bert completed 39 passes to tie the 1951 record set by Lou Letizia for single season completions. Pleasant surprises of the season were the development of Don Dahowski and Bill Vanderhoof, into polished per- formers and the growrth of the backfield combo of Kee- nan, Mendez, Harrison, and Lambert into one of the best among small colleges. In winning 7 of 8 games during the 1956 season, the Statesmen completed a four year record of 27 wins, 3 losses, and 1 tie, a remarkable achievement due mainly to Coach Eddie Tryon. Seniors playing their last game for the Statesmen were: Capt. Walt Harrison, Mike Keenan, Tom Hally, Ken Wells, and Bill Beedon.

Sparked by Mike Keenan’s longest run of the season, a 90 yard jaunt, we never were in trouble. Although not connecting with our passes, we again compiled over 350 yds. on the ground. HOBART 33 ALLEGHENY 6. The Statesmen op- ened the 1956 season on a successful note scoring at will against a spirited Allegheny 11. The home towners rmly score came An an So yd sprint from scrimmage after Captain Walt Harrison had pushed over our third T.D. of the afternoon. HOBART 20 ROCHESTER o. With a 20 point splurge in the first half Hobart coasted to their second victory in as many starts. This renewal of rivalry, ended in 1947, saw the Statesmen pile up 331 yards in com- bined offense while holding the visitors to 95 yards. Hobart followers were delighted with the demonstration of complete control exhibited by Tryon’s men. HOBART 7 UNION 20. Before an overflowing Par- ent’s Weekend crowd the roof fell in before the onslaught of a vastly underrated Union club. Hurt by costly fumbles and a 60 yard punt return the States- men could never seem to get their attack rolling. The difference was the quick Union line which constantly threw the Statesmen for long losses. HOBART 54 ST. LAWRENCE o. On the rebound the Statesmen regained their previous winning form against a hapless St. Lawrence. Piling up 8 T.D.’s while holding St. Lawrence scoreless Eddie used all his reserve strength. 1 «e HOBART 2i HAMILTON 20. Billed as the top small college game in the east, the Hamilton—Hobart game lived up to expectations. 2000 chilly spectators saw two evenly matched squads play 60 minutes of see- saw football. The highlite of the game was a 101 yard kick-off return by Bruck of Hamilton. For the second straight year the Continentals had met Hobart sporting a spotless record, and for the second time had lost it. HOBART 33 BUFFALO 12. Fall Weekend saw the Statesmen close the 1956 season with a brilliant per- formance of offensive attack and defensive alertness. Hobart could do no wrong as they wrecked Buffalo’s highly rated squad 33-7. This was truly a great game and a suitable climax to a wonderful season.

South Goalie makes spectacular save as North Players close in at the left of shot, June 9, 1956. NORTH-SOUTH LACROSSE GAME Two midfielders, one in the blue and white uniform of the South, the other in the Yankee white and red, tensed for the opening face-off in the second naif of the 1956 North-South lacrosse game. Five-thou- sand spectators rimmed Hobart College’s Boswell Field in Geneva, New York, and watched to see if the North could overtake the Rebels to prevent them from tieing the classic’s series at 7-7. The score was 6-5 in favor of the South. Both teams had battled evenly through the first two quarters. The Dixie squad had jumped to a 4-2 first period lead but the North had fought back with an aggres- sive attack. The Yankees scored the last two goals of the half and were gaining confidence after a shaky start. The contest had been as much a duel between two styles as between two teams. The North relied on speed, rugged body contact, and quick frontal drives on the goal for its scores. It rarely played the South’s methodical behind-the-net passing game. Two thirds of its goals were unassisted. Against the South’s deliberate attack the Yankees threw up a one defense that reduced their opportunity to control the ball. The Rebels guarded their crease in man-to-man fashion. Lacrosse Day in Geneva 169 All Stars. . . John Howard, Washington College attackman, and Jim Keating, .. dfielder from the University of Maryland, had shouldered the Dixie attack in the first half. Howard angled in the game’s first goal at 4:13 of the opening frame and scored twice more during the period. Keating had flipped in two counters by the half. For the North, Colgate’s Bill Dimas had looked impressive- in the first two quarters. He scored twice, both times unassisted. One of the shots was a sharp back-handed slider from the flank that baffled the South goalie. The prettiest score of the game, however, was an over- the-shoulder flip by Hobart’s Bill Burhans as he raced away from the crease after faking from the side. The first-half efforts of another Yankee, goalie Bill Campbell of Princeton, won him the press’ vote as the game’s outstanding player. Hi saves were brilliant. He stopped 22 shots from Dixie during the fray, four against perfectly placed tosses within a minute of each other in the first quarter. 170 Jerry Angel! Our Stars . . . Bill Burhans That’s how it stood as the two midfielders crouched for the face-off opening the crucial second half: Style against style, the South gunning for a win to deadlock the series, the North showing signs of power at the end of the second period. The referee tossed in the hall, the South won the face-off as it had been doing all afternoon, and it completely demolished the defenders within the next two minutes. Dick Saunders of Duke scored four times by 1:32 of the third quar- ter on headlong charges at the stunned North goalie. Assisted on three of them by Howard, he beat the Yankees with their own abrupt attack. Before the period was over Saunders had bounced in two more rallies to set a North-South game record. The Dixie attack strung to- gether nine successive goals before Syracuse’s Don Muller stirred the North tmm near-shock with a score at 14:44 of the frame. The Rebels went on to win the game 20-10. That third-quarter has already been described by the late Grant- land Rice in two lines about the old-time Senator’s Walter Johnson: “How do they know what Johnson’s got?—Nobody’s seen it yet?” Replace Johnson by Saunders and the South in the third period and you have the story of the 1956 North-South game. The Yankees sent a shattered squad into the final quarter. What followed was anticlima- ric. Andrews, Smith and Lindsay fought back with four goals for the North, but the Dixie squad scored five, in effect giving notice it still has dynamite left for the North next spring w'hen it will try to gain the series’ lead for the first time in the history of the classic. Next year’s melee is scheduled for Baltimore. By then our Yankee athletes may have discovered “what the Rebels got” in that third quarter. 171 His Day • • • Babe Krause accepting a portrait from his fans and friends in honor of his many years’ service to the sport of lacrosse.

His record with the Statesmen: 1 29 wins, 81 losses, 5 ties. Kraus was cited for his service to American la- crosse at a dinner in Geneva prior to the game. The biggest celebration in the history of the North-South game accompanied the 1956 contest. Geneva, population 19,500, was small enough to devote its whole attention to the classic for three days and large enough to make the festivities impressive. They included a 90- uni t parade, street dance, fashion show', beauty contest.

The Statesmen travelled to Troy to Face the strong Engineer team in their first encounter of the season. First game nervousness and the superior depth of the R.P.I. team turned the game into a rout with R.P.I. on top 13-3. Beedon, Lassiter and Davi- son scored for the Statesmen. HOBART 11 CORTLAND 3. Capt. George Lassiter led the stick- men to a decisive win amidst a downpour of rain and snow at Cort- land’s field. The crowd pleasing Lassiter scored 4 goals and assisted on two others. The defense of Angell, Gates and Wells limited the Teach- ers to 12 shots on goal. HOBART 18 HAMILTON 11. Hobart had no trouble in piling up the score against a weak Continental team. The first team played less than a half as the reserves received valuable experience. Lassiter scored 6 goals before he sat down. COLGATE 9 HOBART 8. The Red Raiders blanked the States- men and scored two goals themselves in the last quarter to nip Hobart 9-8. Playing without Lassiter and Wiltsey, Hobart’s attack was im- potent. Dave Angell scored three goals to lead the attack. It was the Statesmen’s first loss in five games. HOBART 9 CORTLAND o. Goalie Howie Farnsworth through a whitewash job at the Teachers as Hobart was in control all the way. Only loose play of the Statesmen prevented the score from being higher.

SYRACUSE 18 HOBART 10. Stu Lindsey, All-American attack and Jim Brown were too much for the Hobart defense to contain as they the Orange to victory. The midfield of Lassiter, Burhans and Wiltsey scored well for the Statesmen but the rest of the team were stymied by the outstanding Orange goalie. It was in this game that Wiltsey was switched to attack. This move by Coach Kraus played a big role in the successful season enjoyed by the Statesmen. HOBART 16 UNION 4. The defense and offense jelled as a unit for the first time this season as the Statesmen piled up 16 goals. Bill Burhans, the teams best slickhandler came to life with 5 goals, some of them spectacular nature. Wiltsey and Lassiter each tallied 3. Wilt- sey and Kolodny passed beautifully from behind the net and account- ed for 7 assists. HOBART 11 PENN STATE 5. The Statesmen whipped in 5 goals in the last quarter to break up a game that was a thriller for 3 quarters. Harv Wiltsey scored 4 goals, three in the last quarter to lead the Hobart attack. Dave Angell netted 3. Fred Appleton held the Nittany Lions scoreless for the last 15 minutes in an exciting game. HOBART 14 DICKINSON 3. Coach Kraus emptied his bench as the Statesmen overwhelmed the former Carlisle Indian school. Hobart scored 6 times in the third quarter as Jack Strobcl put on a one man show scoring three amazing unassisted goals. The score was 13-1 at the end of the third quarter and Dickinson took advantage of the subs to add two tallies in the last period. HOBART 10 CORNELL 8. In the roughest encounter of the sea- son Hobart came out on top of a close one. The game was costly how- ever, as the two leading scorers, Lassiter and Wiltsey suffered injuries. Burhans and Angell combined for 7 goals to lead the attack as Hobart won its fourth straight. r. jTH 75 Burhans, Lassiter, Davison, Kraus, Gates, Angel, Cohen, Farnsworth Basketball. . . Row One: Russell, Merle, Wetzel, Lambert (Capt.), Mendez, Wiltsey, Strobel. Row Two: Garnish, Dahowski, Howard, Kotas, Silfen, Abraham. Principal problems facing Lysle “Spike” Garnish at the beginning of the basketball season were finding replacements for Cohen, Defrancesco, and VVeisglass, stalwarts of the 1955 record breaking squad. Six lettermen returned who, coupled with a freshman and five other sophomores comprised the 1956 netmen. Captain Art Lambert, Gary Mendez, Harv Wiltsey, Hugh Merle, and Bob Wetzel proved to be Spikes first choice. These five were aided by valuable help from Jack Strobel, Tom Kotas, Pete Russel, Bob Albrecht and frosh Paul Howard, through the 1956 campaign. The Statesmen opened on the road against Alfred and came home with a 73-58 victory as Art Lambert scored 19. Three days later Hamilton proved our victim in a seesaw contest which saw Albrecht hit for 18. Hobarts first defeat came at the hands of Union College 69-70. This contest saw the Statesmen blow a 16 point lead. Our fourth win was a 49-47 victory over highly favored Buffalo on a last second shot by Strobel. Returning after the Christmas layoff, the Statesmen traveled to Buffalo where the Bisons reversed an earlier defeat 97-68. Two nights later a Hartwick rally left Spikes men on the short end of a 74-63 score as Wetzel got 17 in a losing cause. Colgate handed an outclassed Hobart a 78-62 defeat for our third straight lose. Wetzel netted 18. Oswego made it 4 straight 66-63 n a contest undecided until the final minute. Wilt- sey scored 20. Poor shooting lost a 76-52 decision to Lemoyne. Wetzel and Mendez shared the scoring honors. In another heartbreaker Hobart lost to a last period onslaught by Hamilton College 66-68. Four of the five starters hit double figures. The Statesmen snapped their losing streak 68-55 as they entertained Rochester. Again four starters scored over 10 points. Hobart continued on their scoring spree with a 83-70 win over St. Lawrence. Mendez netted 23. Bothered by road trouble the hoopsters traveled to R.P.I. and lost 57-69. Foul shooting cost us the decision. Returning home Art Lambert collected 28 as we handed Alfred their 8th defeat 71-64. Hobart hit its season high in point production as we beat Clarkson 87-58. Both Wetzel and Lambert had over 20 points in our seventh win of the campaign. Coach Lysle Garnish 176 Mendez, Lambert, Wetzel 177 Paul Howard Above: Gary Mendez. Right: Train- er, Joe Abraham.

Hurt by the graduation of the starting outfield, and 3 of the 4 regular infielders, it was obvious that Spike was going to have to pull a few tricks out of his proverbial “bag.” Catcher Jack Kennel became an outfielder in Spikes first move. His next gem was the conversion of Captain and first basemen Detrancesco into a part-time hurler. This also reaped valu- able rewards. The most pleasant surprise of the spring was the development of 5 un- tested freshmen into a polished infield and outfield combination. LaRocca, Beauter, Goldstein, Bienchi, and Foliizo added thusly to the nucleus of “Lou” Bush, Al Wat- son, Ralph Fica, C. J. VerStieg and Lennie Defranccsco resulted in a polished efficient squad. The only weakness of the 1956 “Garnishmen” was the inability to come up with the big hit at the right time, resulting in a 5 won, 8 lost record. The Statesmen unveiled their 1956 edition in the rain and snow at Canisius College and returned on the short end of a 4-3 score. Relief pitching proved to be the down- fall as Sammis, in for the starter Lou Bush,wrild-pitched for the winning run. Two days later we opened at home against a tough Syracuse squad and failed in our second attempt for victory, 8-3. Defranccsco started, but plagued by wildness and errors tasted his first defeat. The game was highlited by a 380 foot Syracuse home-run. Our first win came at the expense of Lemoync as Bush allowed 5 hits in a 4-2 con- test. All the Hobart scoring came on a bases loaded double by LaRocca. Returning to the road, the diamondmen lost a pair to Clarkson 7-0 and St. Law- rence 7-6. Bush and Sammis were the victims. Next, journeying to Schenectady, we earned a split with Union 2-1 and 4-5. Lennie pitched his best game of the season with the 2-1 victory. Appearing at home after a week away, the Statesmen under the pitching of Dave Glassman bested Hamilton 10-4. Highlites of the game were two 400 foot home-runs by Defranccsco. The biggest win of the season came two days later in an upset victory over Colgate at Hamilton. Lou Bush allowed only 6 scattered hits losing a shut-out on n 2 out home- run in the 9th. Riding on the crest of three straight victories, the Statesmen succumbed to Oswego State Teachers in a three and a half hour sluggers battle. Aided by 5 unearned runs the visitors wound up on top ij-io. Ithaca followed their example four days later handing Hobart their seventh loss of the season 6-3. Bush and Sammis combined in the losing cause as Defranccsco and Kennel tripled for the scoring. Our third straight loss and eighth of the season followed as Hamilton avenged an earlier loss, 13-4. Weber was handed the loss. The Statesmen closed the 1956 season on a successful note, how'ever, winning at R.P.I. 13-5. Sammis hurled and Don Bianchi homered. 180 Michael Weiss man, Captain L nder Coach Stan Chi- zinski and Captain Mike YVeissman, the 1956 links- men complied a 2 win, 5 lost and 1 tie record. They were victorious over Harper and St. Lawrence, lost to Hamilton twice and Clark- son, and tied Canisius. One of the highlights of the season was the partici- pation in the Harper In- Golf. . . vitat ion al Tournament by the Statesmen. The prospects for 1957 look good as only Captain Weissman and Steve Ka- relitz are not returning. Captain-elect Hugh Merle expects much from his four returning lettermen and is looking forward to help from possible newcomers this Spring. Hubert Merle, Captain Elect Quarterback Club . . . Five years ago, the townspeople of Geneva and Alumni of Hobart College living nearby formed a group to express their in- terest in football at Hobart. Since that time its member- ship has grown to approx- imately sixty. The Quarterback Club meets every Monday Night during the season. At these meetings, films are shown and the plays and strategy of the previous Saturday’s game are reviewed by Ed- die Tryon, mentor of the Statesmen eleven.
