ECHO of the SENECA 1958 William II. Van Rensselaer llohert J. Schutrum Hubert E. Merle Editor-in-Chief Associate Editor Business Hlana er 4 In Memoriam Michael Spencer McHugh On June 5, 1954, Mike McHugh graduated from Trinity-Pawling School, where he had made his name in sports and the theater. During that summer Mike toured the eastern stock theaters co-starring with his father, Frank McHugh, in the famous play, “Ah! Wilderness.” In September of the same year Mike stepped off a Greyhound Bus from New York onto the Hobart campus. In a short time Mike became one of the best known and well liked freshman at Hobart. He played a lead role in the Little Theater production of, “The Time of Your Life” and although he had never played the game before became an important man on the freshman lacrosse team. During the summer of 1955 Mike again toured in summer stock in the play, “Three Men on a Horse.” He returned to Hobart in September for his sophomore year. On November 12, he was killed in an automobile accident. His loss was great but his contribution even greater, for he possessed a personality and aggres- siveness which everyone envied and many tried to copy. We cannot forget him and we don’t want to lose our memory of him. We loved him and he loved us, but most of all he loved Hobart. There- fore it is to Mike McHugh that the Class of 1958 dedicates this book. 5 18.1S-19.� � - 100th AWIVI KSAIIV OF TOT) A r' r.i .

Wil l I M P PlilMH i:t GEOltGl I Yo T The First ECHO of the SENECA, 1858 THE ECHO of the SENECA HOBART FREE COLLEGE, 1858 It has been one-hundred years since the publication of the first ECHO in 1858. One-hundred years; each possessing a flavor all its own; each marked by an im- measurable variety of thoughts and feelings which seem to fade the instant they come into being, so that Ho- bart’s early years seem lost beyond recovery, but they have not been lost entirely. In the pages of old ECHOS we can regain some of the character of those distant days; we can discover what it meant to be a Hobart stu- dent and what h was like. The very appearance of the early yearbooks brings us back to times that seem strange, even alien. The first ECHO was both formal and pretentious. It was printed in the form of a four page newspaper, the titles were set in florid Gothic type, (some of the capitals were almost lost behind a tangled tracery’of flourishes), and the text was sprinkled with Latin mottos and quotations —untranslated, of course. The writing, was ornate as the lettering, was marked by such unforgettable images as: “Hope, bright glowing hope, the beacon-light to illumine its course o’er the billowy tide of College life,” “Times swift car,” and “Fortune's genial rays.” ft is more than style of composition that makes these passages of poetry and prose seem alien to our own times. 'Ehe style is only a manifestation of a philosophy which viewed life in different terms: which saw world history, past and present, as a sort of moral Aesop's fables, where the whole world was explained by moral standards— timeless, transcendental standards which humble men even more humbly served. And so, the lines read: “Go forth on thy mission.” For life was a mission, meaningless in itself, significant only as it served a, “higher” end. Just as Hobart’s advancement was the higher end to which many men of the past dedicated their lives. Of course, the students often pushed ahead with their mission in a most rollicking fashion. It will remain a paradox that such a staid-seeming times should have given vent to such riotous behavior. The ECHO once gave a partial resume of some of the more spontaneous extra-curricular activities, when, “with misterious regu- larity cows were found in the college chapel placidly awaiting the morning service; cannon balls went thun- dering down dormitory corridors in the middle of the night; . . . professors were locked in their classrooms; lectures were enlivened by the clang of concealed alarm clocks going off at five minute intervals; the horse of “Little Mac,” professor of Greek, who was in the habit of ‘driving out’ on pleasant afternoons, was found turned into a zebra by artistic striping with white paint.” This side-by-side co-existance of boisterousness and formality will always remain a paradox, a paradox that lends its coloring to the unique, never to be repeated, chapter in Hobart’s history, but that has been caught and held in the old pages of the ECHO.

Dr. Louis M. Hirshson When the Rev. Dr. Louis M. Hirshson was inaugurated nineteenth president of Hobart College last year, a clerical tradition was reestablished which had existed from 1822 until 1936. He dis- claims any working knowledge in the field of higher education, and admits to the mastery of no unique administrative techniques. However, his previous record indicates unusual if not profession- al preparation for the job at hand. He once told a reporter, that he doesn’t shy away from being called a “utility infielder” and says that whatever he has accomplished in the past has been through his ability to see the essential though sometimes hidden nature of the problem, and to inspire others to work toward its solution. As far as his plans for Hobart are concerned there is nothing hidden. They are to push in every concerned area, not to keep Hobart the good college that it is, but to get it into the forefront of America’s truly fine liberal arts colleges, and to strengthen its relation with the church.” Dr. Hirshson has had a rich and varied career. Receiving his B.S. degree from Harvard Univer- sity in 1922, he was ordained in 1925. From 1946 to 1956 he was Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, Hartford, Conn, and in 1956 received his S.T.D. from Berkeley Divinity School, New Haven, Conn. President Hirshson has also been engaged in the business world. He was a salesman for Proctor and Gamble in Ohio, coached a professional football team for three years, and has been associated with the founding or trusteeship of several schools, two of which are graduate schools of theology. During World War II he was chairman of the Pittsburg, Pa. Area War Labor Board Committee and, since 1950, trustee of the Inter-Professional Commission on Marriage and Di- vorce Laws of the American Bar Association. This is an unusually rich preparation for a college presidency. '7 TRUSTEES THE RT. REV. DUDLEY SCOTT STARK MR. CARROLL R. HARDING Chancellor of the Corporation Vice-Chariman of the Board MR.

Mr. Gulick joined Equitable as a service supervisor in the Group Department in 1930, and since then has worked himself up through the ranks to his present status of vice-president. While a lieutenant commander in the Coast Guard, Mr. Gulick helped organize the Port Security Division, the organization that protected two hundred and fifty ports against sabatoge during the war. He also saw action in both the European and Pacific theaters. '9 mi WALTER H. DURFEE Walter H. Durfee has had a long and close association with Hobart College, llis lather, William Pitt Durlee was head of the mathematics department and Dean of the College. Born in 18S9 Dr. Durfee received his B.A. degree from Hobart in 1908 graduating Magna Cum Laude aft- er playing varsity lacrosse and being elected to Phi Beta Kappa.

Since the turn of the century, the Hobart Board of Control has been the foremost legislative body on the campus. Its members consist of elected representatives from each class, plus a rep- resentative from the Interfraternity Council and Independent Body. Under the leadership of its President, Harvey Wiltsey; Vice-President, Albert Watson; and Secretary-Treasurer, Joseph Waters; the Board has concentrated upon the betterment of student organizations and close coordination within the student organizations themselves. One of the significant steps which the Board has taken is the close supervision of the finances of these campus organizations which receive money from the student tax. This previously dormant committee has been reactivated and is at present doing an excellent job. Perhaps the most important and difficult undertaking of this years Board was the revision and review of the New Student Union Government in an attempt to improve the social life of the inde- pendent body and the student body as a whole. More important than anything, however, the Board has backed both with finances and publicity, many lectures and concerts which are of great- est importance in a liberal arts education. =: OF CONTROL JOSEPH WATERS Sec.-Tres.

On behalf of the Student Body of Hobart College, the 1958 ECHO wishes to express its deepest sympathy in the recent death of one of our friends and fellow students, Douglas Burke. Doug was returning from a date early Thursday morning, December 26, when at the bottom of a steep hill his car left the road and crashed, resulting in his instantaneous death. In his three and one half years at Hobart, Doug made many friends. A popular member of his fraternity. Kappa Sigma, and well known on the athletic field play- ing both varsity football and baseball. His contributions to Hobart were great and his name will not soon be forgotten. i Oh God, who bindcst us to life by holy and tender ties, we gratefully recall all that Douglas was to us; all that he stood for in the world. May we live even more constantly in the companionship of his spirit, and carry out, in the old spheres in which we moved together, so much of his purpose as we can. May we be kind to the friends he loved; devoted to the community in which he lived; loyal to the college of which he was a splendid part. 1 hus in our lives may he still live on, to our own comfort, and the wel- fare ol thy world, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Distinction Druids The former Druids lead the ceremony on Moving- up Day. The newly “tapped” Druids march from the chapel. Harvey Wiltsey The highest overall student honor at Hobart College is election to the Druid Society. Membership is limited to a small number of men, usually five, who are “tapped” by the departing Druids as they leave the college chapel during Moving-up Day ceremonies. This sign of recognition comes only to those men who have attained a high standard of academic achievement and have shown outstanding qualitites of leadership in extracurricular activities. There is no single criterion tor member- ship in Druids; its members include ath- letes, campus publication editors, and leaders in student government. If there can be said to be a single qualification for Druid selection it is this: “Most out- standing on campus.” The Society was established at Hobart on December 12, 1903. Although its pri- mary purpose is as a sign of recognition, Druids are active as well as “honorary” members of the student body. They serve as guardians of Hobart tradition, as ad- visors to the president on student affairs, and help to coordinate the activities of Freshman Orientation Week.

The Society’s members are selected from men of the Sophomore class who have distinguished themselves in both academic and extra-curricular fields. The society is self-perpetuating and new mem- bers are announced each year at the tra- ditional Moving-Up Day ceremonies. Included among Chimera's activities are the preparation for Commencement exercises and advisory duties during Freshman Orientation Week. In addi- tion, the society lends assistance to proj- ects of the Druid society throughout the course of the school year. Standing: Cole, Waters, Brody, Keplinger, Wetzel, Mcssersmith (Sec- Treas.).

The Orange Key Society, founded in the late 1920’s, is the Sophomore Honor- ary Society and an official student recep- tion committee of Hobart College. Mem- bers are selected from those Freshmen who have shown exceptional ability in leadership, responsibility and scholarship. Orange Key joins Hobart’s other honor societies in supervising Freshman Orien- tation Week. Each member is assigned five or six Freshmen advisees. He is re- sponsible for helping these men when possible, and referring them to the prop- er authorities when a problem occurs requiring faculty or administration coun- selling. The Fall Weekend Float Parade and Semi-Formal dance are organized and supervised by the Society. The members also take part in the College’s visitor program by offering their services as guides. This is a particularly important function during Sub-Freshman Weekend. «7 Phi Beta Kappa Row i: Barbara Smith, Robin Dayton, Laurel Bitteker, Edith Feroozi, Tobie Flint, Cathy Raymond.

The Zeta Chapter of New York, Phi Beta Kappa, was established on the Hobart campus in 1871. It thus became, in order of founding, the sixth chapter in the state and the twenty-second in the country at large. A separate section for William Smith College was instituted in 1912. More recently, the two sections have met and functioned in common. The active membership of the chapter consists of members of the colleges’ staff who have become members of Phi Beta Kappa here or elsewhere, and undergraduates who have been elected and initiated by the chapter. The Zeta Chapter’s principal activity in 1957-58, as in every college year, is to elect under-grad- uates to membership, in recognition of their scholarship and of such personal qualities as intel- lectual drive, character, leadership, and future promise. That the local chapter is an independent judge of candidates, and that it is not in any way bound by mere academic proficiency as indi- cated by point averages, has always been a cherished principle with its members. In addition to the election of new members, the chapter undertakes, to the limit of its available funds, to stimulate the intellectual life of the campus in other ways. It awards prizes, in books of the winner’s selection, to the highest-ranking first-year student in each college. It holds a tea, a lecture, or similar function, to honor those students who have demonstrated, superior academic ability. It honors the annual commencement speaker, in whose selection it plays a part, with the traditional designation of “Phi Beta Kappa Orator”, and besrows honorary membership upon him. At this writing the chapter also plans, by participation in the Phi Beta Kappa Scholar Pro- gram, to bring to the campus early in 1957 Miss Louise Bogan, a distinguished poet and critic, who-will lecture and participate in classes and student discussion groups. The chapter, cooperating with but separate from the colleges, thus possesses a valued and vital tradition, by which it guides its present activity. It strives, in the language of the society’s found- ers, for the “promotion of Friendship, Morality, and Literature”. In more modern terms, it pro- tects and advances the cause of quality in American education in general and at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in particular. 88 Pi (■amnia Mu Sealed: Streim (Vice Pres.), Flint, I.eitstein. Standing: Abbey, Landry. Missing: Smith (Pres.). Pi Gamma Mu is Hobart’s Honorary Social Science Society. Founded nation- ally in 1927, it was added to the campus in 1953. The purpose of the organization is to foster interest in all fields of the social sciences. The activities of this chapter are de- signed to further their understanding the field. Members take trips to local indus- tries, listen to lectures by experts in the field and attend presentations of pertin- ent films. In order to qualify for election, a student must attain an average of “B” or better for a total of twenty hours in the social sciences. Kappa Kappa Psi The Gamma Epsilon chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi, the national honorary band fraternity, was founded May 30, 1953. The main ob- jectives of the fraternity are to promote the welfare of the college band, and to provide a pleasant and valuable social outlet for all band members. This January, a joint Kappa Kappa Psi—Marching Band banquet was held. Each year Kappa Kappa Psi awards trophies to bandsmen who have made outstanding contributions to the band during the marching season.

Phi Sigma Iota Phi Sigma Iota, the national honorary Romance Language society, was founded in 1929 at Allegheny College. The Phi Kra chapter was established at Hobart and William Smith in 1939. The objectives of the society have been to erect a bond between nations who speak Romance languages and to encourage scholarship in this field through research and discussion. A research paper is presented by one of the members at each of the monthly meetings.

The International Relations Honor Society was founded in 1916 as a chapter of the national organization sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and whose purpose it is to promote interest in world affairs. The IRHS has had an involved history since its founding forty-one years ago. Initially, it was founded as an honor society, but later, in order to reach a wider membership, it opened the or- ganization to all students, regardless of academic standing. In 1956, however, it voted to return the organization to its original honor standing. Now, a 2.5 average is required for admittance. IRHS is one of the most active organizations on the college campus. During the past few years it has sponsored and participated in a full program of debates and addresses. One of the most distinguished visitors to the colleges has been Wentzel Christoffel du Plessis, United States Am- bassador from the Union of South Africa. He delivered an address here on the invitation of the society and afterwards defended his government’s theory of apartheid in a general question and answer session. 9' Arnold Air Society Seated: Schutrum, Millar, Steele. Standing: Wood, West, Scheeren, Reese, Cole. Over a dozen Air Force Cadets, here on the Hobart campus, are wearing the red, blue and yellow orange ribbon of the Arnold Air Society. The Society is both an honorary and a fraternal organ- ization. It unites more than ten thousand members in one hun- dred colleges and universities stretching from New York to California. The Hobart squadron of the Arnold Air Society was formed by six cadets in the spring of 1954. It was named after an alumni, Lieut. Robert H. Taylor, who died in action during the Second World War. All members have a common interest—they are all advanced cadets looking forward to a commission in the United States Air Force. They meet each week for discussion or to hear a lecture given by a qual- ified expert in some field of in- terest. 92 Last years cadets receive their commissions. Kappa Beta Phi Seated: Hadley, Van Rensselaer (Treas.), Sehamore (Pres.), Merle (Vice Pres.), Miller. Standing: Versteeg, Edwards, Van Wagner, Clode, Heffernon, Green, Dahoski, Roll. Kappa Beta was gradually smothered. Before the first guns were fired at Sumpter all traces of the Society were gone and it was not to be heard from again until its glorious rebirth at Hobart in 1890. The basis of membership in Kappa Beta Phi and its reason for existence is good fellowship and all expedient means and short methods of obtain- ing a college degree. Besides financing an active movement to wipe out the W.C.T.U., the Society took an active part in the repeal of the 19th Amendment. Officially, the Kappa Beta Phi, the National Honorary Good Fellowship and Moderation So- ciety, was founded at Hobart in 1890 and chap- ters were soon founded at other Universities and Colleges throughout the country. However, sev- eral eminent historians have reason to believe that the Society was actually founded around 1827 when a few southern students at Union voiced open objections to the Puritanical ele- ments in Phi Beta Kappa. One of these illustrious gentlemen, a former Cavalier from Tuberville College, screamed out, “What this country needs is a good five-cent beer!” and Kappa Beta Phi was born. The Society opened a chapter at Tuber- ville and along with the Union chapter and sev- eral other chapters, the Kappa Bets thrived for almost thirty-five years. But with the rise of the Temperance movement, the noble spirit of the One of the regular functions of Kappa Beta Phi is a weekly seminar, held in one of the local public houses, where the members, full of good fellow- ship, spend lively and stimulating hours discuss- ing topics of current interest. Another of the regu- lar functions is the party given twice yearly in honor of Spring and Fall weekends. These parties, which show the Society in a lighter vein, are well known for the spirit of gay abandon which char- acterizes them. Phi Delta Phi Delta, the honorary jour- nalistic society ot Hobart and William Smith Colleges, was founded in 1947. Its objectives are to give recognition to stu- dents interested in journalism, literature or any ot the related arts, and to encourage efforts in these fields. To qualify for mem- bership, a student must have either held a position on two or more college publications or have done other work meriting recog- nition. This year the group has heard talks by Benjamin P. Atkinson and visiting lecturer Louise Bo- gan, been led in charades by Dr. Otto Schoen-Rene, and enjoyed two parties—among a host of other activities. Seated: Steinberg, Handelman.

The Echo of the Seneea 1958 Seated: Cook, Merle, Brody, Van Rensselaer. Standing: Robbinson, Kerstein, Wally, Block, Weissman, Kaplan, Steele, Tucker, Cohen. This book, The Echo, is the direct descendent of a four-columned, four-page journal upon which the ink has been a hundred years dried. Not a yearbook, as we know it today, it served as a trum- pet for the full-spirited braggadocio of the Sophomore class and a chronical of their despotic rule over the “Freshies.” Yet, under the subtle and sustained influence of American and Fraternal democracy, the spirit, the purpose and the organization of The Echo have changed considerably. No one knows why in 1863 the Sophomores defaulted their control of the yearbook to the Juniors, but from then on, the form of the publication began to steadily evolve toward its present form. It became less and less a means of class self-expression—sometimes inspired, sometimes bombastic, always exclam- atory—and more and more the last footprint of departing Seniors that it is now. In 1947, the final step toward its present form was taken. The Echo became an all-class pro- duction under the editorship of a Senior. So here we are, after a century of continuous, progressive development. Here we are, the cul- mination of ten decades of growth. We disclaim any responsibility. 97 The Herald Row i: Jubb, Dewey.

It operates thirty-three hours a week, from seven-thirty to one p.m. Sunday through Friday. 'The station has been hampered, during its still short career, by a lack of funds, bur it has man- aged to maintain the high quality of performance of a first class campus radio station. New equipment has been purchased and technical improvements have added to the effectiveness of the broadcasts. Besides popular and classical disk jockey shows, news summaries, weather reports and panel discussions, the station provides partial coverage of I lobart inter-collegiate athletic events.

Row 2: Brunell, Banks, Chonchol, Kahn, Klein, Jayaeskcra, Norris, Sills, Wester- land, Gruber. The Debating Society of Hobart and William Smith, Collegium Oratorium, was established at the beginning of the century. The pur- pose of the society is to offer students a chance to participate in dis- cussing controversial topics of national concern, in an attempt to gain a better understanding ot the issues, and to increase their ability to express their feelings and beliefs. The group has had a good deal of success in its many inter-collegiate debates and tournaments. The debaters have, in the past, engaged Cornell, Harvard, the University of Rochester, Canisius, and Brandeis. Many of these clashes have taken place here at Hobart in the Potter Memorial Debate held every Spring on the Hobart College campus. Two members of the society, Richard Lewis and Roger Meyer, have recently been elected to Tau Kappa Alpha, the National Honorary Debating Society. Its purpose is to honor outstanding speakers and debaters, and to stimulate the growth of better public speaking and debating. The qualification for membership is two years of service on the debating team. 101 Meyers Little Theater Seated: Warden, Griffith, Sammons, Mareck R, Mareck M.

The Quintet, with its repertoire culled from three centuries of woodwind music, has made two transcontinental tours and appeared in every part of the United States and Canada, setting an unofficial record for the number of performances. Present day composers who have written explicitly for the New Art Wind Quintet include the late Marian Bauer, Roger Goel, Jan Meyerwitz, Robert Starer and John Verral. The group gave the first Chicago performance of Arnold Schoenberg’s Quintet and has been similarly instrumental in introducing the work of other moderns.

Captain Earnic Lisi Little All American (Honorable Mention) Eddie Tryon once again showed his football inge- nuity, as he guided an injury ridden Statesmen squad to an unbeaten and untied season. This was only the sec- ond time in Hobart history that a football team has sported an unblemished record, and brought Hobart’s winning streak, to eight with 32 wins in its last 35 games. Hard hit by the losses of Walt Harrison and Dom Bianchi from last year’s team, the hurt was com- pounded by major injuries to key players Ernie Lisi, Don Dahowski and Chris Christie, each being sidelined and incapacitated when the season ended. Still, Tryon had the reliable Gary “Tre-Mendez,” and Little All-American, Art Lambert, to lead the Statesmen to a seventh place ranking for Lambert cup honors. The ’57 season must be considered one of the most unusual in Hobart History. On two consecutive Satur- days in the middle of the season, games against Alfred and then Union were cancelled due to the flu epidemic. On the basis of comparative scores, it seems doubtful that either of these teams would have been able to break our winning streak. 154 Lambert dodges as he returns kick. It is interesting to note that Union rescheduled a “flued-out” game against a vastly weaker R.P.I. team, and lost. It was an enjoyable season. The team was not over- powering, nor was it overly deceptive. Still, it capi- talized on every break and was bound together by quick thinking and experience, which is the forte of any Tryon coached team. Spectators in the stands at Roch- ester who saw us twice overcome second period deficits and beat the spirited Yellow Jackets, were aware that this was more than a football squad. It was a unit, with a desire to prove to all that Hobart could rise to every occasion and give just a little bit more than any other team. Art Lambert Little All American (Honorable Mention) HOBART 26 ALLEGHENY 7. As early as the opening game, we had a fair sign of things to come as the Statesmen easily downed Alle- gheny, 26-7. 'Throwing a limited number of passes due to the presence of Rochester scouts in the stands, Lambert guided the team to a 13-0 halftime lead. Mendez, Northrup and Royston each scored, as the supposedly weak Hobart defense contained the Gators and Little All-America, Jim Villa, until two seconds remained in the game. HOBART 27 ROCHESTER 20. The game of the year saw Hobart fighting from behind almost to the final gun. A 60 yard touchdown pass from Lambert to Dahowski was nullified because of a penalty, and the Yellow Jackets jumped to a quick 14-0 lead. By halftime, the lead had been cut to 14-7, and tied at 14 apiece. Gary Mendez—leading yard gain- er is seen at the right in action. Rochester’s Parinello scored on a tie-breaking forty yard touchdown run, but the Statesmen were not to be denied that afternoon. Pouncing on fumbles and inter- cepting passes, we pressed every advantage until we tied the score at 20 all in the fourth quarter; and then went on to take the game 27-20 with a late touchdown march as 6,000 spectators sat spellbound in the stands. Around the end for ten. HOBART 21 THIRL 14. Travelling to Greenville, Pennsylvania, Hobart salvaged a close but decisive victory over the Thiel Tomcats. Lambert led the scoring for the Statesmen with two touchdowns, and Mendez had one, as the Statesmen led during the entire contest. The Tomcats scores resulted from recoveries of Hobart tumbles deep in our own territory. Ernie I.isi had to kick the third extra point as Don Dahowski was removed from the game because of an unsportsman-like conduct charge. Lew Abagnale broke into the starting line-up, and the big junior tackle from Pelham kept this position and played outstanding ball for the remainder of the season. Line-coach Bob Teague HOBART 40 ST. LAWRENCE 7. Before a capacity Parents’ Weekend crowd on Bos- well Field, the Statesmen came out of two weeks of inactivity due to the flu epidemic and methodically grounded the Larries to a 40-7 deleat. It was the worst loss of the year for St. Law'rence, as they tried to avenge DiFabio dodges the opposition. Dahowski makes deciding catch against Rochester. last year’s 54-0 defeat by Hobart, and it was also their sixteenth consecutive loss. Larrie quarterback, John Pulice, played an outstanding game as did Hobart’s Jack Royston, who came through with his biggest day of the season, accounting for three of Hobart’s six touchdowns. The St. Lawrence team was constantly penalized for personal fouls, so the bigger and stronger Statesmen showed no mercy as they drove to their fourth consecutive victory of the campaign. To err is human. HOBART 8 HAMILTON 2. In their poorest showing of the year, the Statesmen nipped Hamilton 8-2 at Clinton, New York. Both Captain, Ernie Lisi and end Chris Christie were injured early in the game and were forced to the sidelines for the remainder of the campaign. The Continentals grabbed an early 2-0 lead in the first half when end, Don Dahowski was tackled in the end-zone after he recovered a fumble. In what seemed like a baseball game instead of a football game, Hobart tied the score in the second half with a safety of their own. 157 Minutes later Hobart recovered a bad pass from center in the Hamilton end zone to take the lead 8-2. Hobart was out-rushed and out-passed, but one bright spot was the splendid play of sophomore back, Tony Holmes. HOBART 19 UPSALA o. 1957 saw a new edition to the Statesmen schedule, Upsala. The Vikings came to Geneva seriously hoping to topple the Orange and Purple from the unbeaten ranks. But they found a vastly superior team even when injury riddled. Lambert’s great ability to adapt to any situation was put to a severe test in the last game of the year as Dahowski, DeVito and Tony Holmes Costa brings ’em down. were added to the list of those injured. The Upsala line constantly ripped through to rush Lambert and his passing effectiveness was seriously marred. With the score deadlocked at 0-0 at halftime, the Hobart fans began to wonder whether this was going to be the game or not. But with the outset of the second half, Gary Mendez, fleet senior halfback, set up the first of three fourth quarter touchdowns with a sprint deep into Upsala territory. Obviously rejuvenated by this sudden feeling of victory, Lambert was able to outmaneuver the overanxious Vikings for three more touchdowns in the remaining twelve minutes and thus Hobart re- mained undefeated and untied for the 1957 campaign. This year’s squad was stocked well with seniors who carried most of the load which will be quite disappoint- ing to next year’s team. The seniors are: Dave Angell, Harry Bowie, Doug Burke, Joe Difabio,Charlie Hadley, Art Lambert, Ernie Lisi, Bob Mathews, Gary Mendez, Jack Royston, Bill Vanderhoof.

Row4: Demuth (Coach), Studebacker, Potter, Jacobstein, Kitzman, Margolin, Foqueat. Playing their second year of strictly varsity competi- tion, Coach Ray Demeuth’s hooters couldn’t seem to put their right foot forward and finished the campaign with a 2-4-3 record. Usually thought to be slow starters, the Orange and Purple showed signs of shaking off this stereotype as they tied Buffalo State in the opener and overpowered Hartwick in the second game. But the joy in the Hobart camp was short-lived as Clarkson, Ithaca and Geneseo State beat the Statesmen on successive occasions. With the prospects of a completely dismal season staring Hobart square in the face, we rebounded from our three losses, dropping only one of the last four games. Despite the poor record, no one would say that this team was poor by any standards. On the contrary, it had many of the qualities that are seen in the best of teams, shown by its performance against our powerful rivals, Rochester. 160 Raymond Demuth—Coach William Cody—Captain All-State Second Team Cody boots just in time. Captain Bill Cody’s defensive ability coupled with an ever present scoring threat, impressed the experts enough to make him a 2nd team All-State choice at right half back. Center hall back, Albert Watson, who kicked all the Hobart penalty kicks and displayed an all-around aggressive play, joined Cody on the All- State squad by making honorable mention. The front line also had some sterling performers. Freshmen, Dave Lust and Lundy Gordon, led the team in scoring with five goals apiece, while senior left wing, Bill VanRensselaer was close behind with 4 goals. Kitzman dribbles through opposition. The Statesmen met up with defeat for the second time as they were nosed out by a powerful ITHACA squad, 2-1 on alumni field. A large crowd of 350 saw the Statesmen jump to an early lead on a penalty kick by halfback, A1 Watson, and maintained the slim margin for the first half. But with the outset of the third quarter, Ithaca came to life, bombarding goalie, Bob Wetzel, with 20 of their 34 shots and picking up the two decisive goals. Hobart opened the 1957 campaign at BUFFALO STATE by coming from behind to tie 2-2. Freshman, Roger Kitzman, scored the initial goal of his collegiate career, and senior, Bill VanRensselaer added another to complete Hobart’s scoring. Led by Senior letterman, Bill VanRensselaer, who scored two goals, the Hobart soccer team copped their first win of the season against visiting HARTWICK COLLEGE, 4-2. Freshman, Roger Kitzman and sopho- more, Scott Schneider knocked in goals in the third and fourth quarters to put the game on ice for the home team. Hobart dominated play throughout the game, as exemplified by the fact that they managed 32 shots to 15 for Hartwick. Bob Wetzel again played a fine game in the nets, getting 10 saves. Confidently, the Hobart Pitchmen journeyed north to take on the CLARKSON booters, but ended up dropping their first contest of the year, 4-0, the game being played in a steady downpour. The Green and Gold broke the ice late in the first period and within two minutes, Clarkson had added another. Apparently hampered by the bad playing conditions and an excel- lent Clarkson squad, the Statesmen were unable to put out an organized attack and cautiously took to the defensive. 161 Captain speaks to his men. Graduating Seniors: Watson, A., center-half, Van Rensselaer, left-wing, Cody, Capt. right-half. The Orange and Purple traveled to GENESEO for their next game, only to be stunned by an underdog team, 5-3. The home squad picked up 2 goals late in the first quarter and maintained the margin throughout the remainder of the contest. The Blue and White booted home another marker before Freshman, Roger Kitz- man, broke the ice for the Statesmen in the waning minutes of the first half. With resumption of play, Geneseo forged ahead, 5-1. But Hobart’s Dave Lust and Bill VanRenssaleer closed the gap to 5-3 before the game ended. After losing three in a row, Hobart got back on the right track as they overpowered the visiting LEMOYNE team, 5-1 before a large Parent’s Weekend gathering. The Statesmen were never in danger, as they com- pletely outplayed the visitors. Playing one of their best offensive games of the campaign, the Orange and Purple took a total of thirty eight shots, holding the losers to a mere ten. Freshman, Lundy Gordon, starred in the Hobart offensive, netting 2 counters. Other scorers included Freshman, Dave Lust, Lazio Darko and Captain, Bill Cody. Kitzman boots in time. Watson—All-state honorable mention. 162 Kitzman passes to Tom Watson. Statesmen forge ahead 2-1 in the final period, forcing the Yellow Jackets to come from behind to tie. Two pulsating overtimes ended status quo and Rochester had to settle for an unbeaten but not untied season. Much defensive credit is deserved by Bill Cody, who kept with Rochester’s All-American, Ted Zornow, holding the star, who had previously averaged 4 goals per game, scoreless. In the next game Hobart experienced a let down after their brilliant showing against Rochester and were edged out by HAMILTON 3-2 on Alumni f ield. Lundy Gordon’s two goals were the extent of Hobart’s scoring. The final game of the season saw the Statesmen journey to Oswego in a game which was postponed from an earlier date due to the flu epidemic. Neither team was able to muster up a strong enough offensive to break the ice and the contest ended in a scoreless deadlock. Behind at the half. Although the 1957 soccer season was poor from many aspects, the Rochester game will long be remembered as one of the most exciting and inspiring games a Hobart team has ever participated in. The Yellow Jackets from Rochester came to Hobart on the verge of gaining their first undefeated and untied season in their history. Obviously, a heavy favorite, Rochester ran into more trouble than they bargained for as an aroused Hobart aggregation stunned the visitors with a 2-2 tie. Two brilliant freshmen, Dave Lust and Lundy Gordon, led Hobart’s attack, each garnering a goal. ROCHESTER gained an early 1-0 lead, only to have the 163 Tom Watson inside-right, Lundy Gordon center-forward, Rogei Kitzman inside-left.

Despite a mid-season slump, Hobart’s Statesmen finished strong to post an n-6 overall record for the 1957-58 basketball campaign. The Statesmen won their first three. Then they went into a tail spin, losing six out of their next nine. However, the Garnishmen returned to their early season form, winning their last five, cli- maxed by a decisive 79-74 victory over the Rivermen from Rochester. This game saw the final appearance of four of the five Statesmen starters: Art Lambert, Gary Mendez, Harv Wiltsey and Hugh Merle. One returnee from the starting 5 will be Bob Wetzel. These losses can prove fatal unless there is some help from this year’s freshman team. Lambert, once again led the Hobart Marksmen with a 17.9 aver- age, followed by Gary Mendez with a 17.3 average, Bob Wetzel at 14.3 and Harv Wiltsey with 10.5. However, aver- ages don’t tell the whole story for we see that the two top shooters as far as per- centage goes were Bob Wetzel and Harv Wiltsey, both hitting in the middle 40%. The team was captained by senior, Hugh Merle, whose great floor game and team work was instrumental in keeping the team together throughout the cam- paign. Wetzel takes the rebound 165 HOBART 70 ALFRED 57. The Statesmen opened the season triumphantly as they defeated Alfred 70-57. The Garnishmen completely outclassed Alfred, although it is interesting to note that Alfred beat Rochester who in turn took one game from the Statesmen. Bob Wetzel’s timely jump shots ac- counted for 22 points. Art Lambert tallied 17 and Gary Mendez poured in 16 tallies to pave the way. HOBART 66 BUFFALO 57. Hobart returned to Geneva for its initial home encounter and made it a successful one defeating the University of Buffalo in the first of a home and home series 66-51. Art Lambert and Gary Mendez both tallied 20 points to pace the victors. Harv Wiltsey and Bob Wetzel chipped in with 13 and 12 points respectively. The pinpoint passing of captain, Hugh Merle, proved decisive. HOBART 83 UNION 81. The Statesmen made it three in a row as they traveled to Schenectady and eeked out a two point victory over Union. This was a team effort as all five starters hit for double figures. Harv Wiltsey led the scorers with 19 points, followed closely by Gary Mendez with 19, Hugh Merle 15, Art Lambert 14, and Bob Wetzel with 11. As they prepared to return home, the Statesmen sported an impressive 3-0 record. HOBART 57 FLORIDA SOUTHERN 67. The 3-0 record received its first blemish as the Hobart quintet ran into a rough Florida Southern squad, who defeated them soundly 67-51. The southerners had too much height and depth and an excellent outside shooter in Jim McCarthy who tallied 26 points, primarily on field goals. Harv Wiltsey topped the Hobart scorers with 16 while Gary Mendez contributed 13 in the losing cause. This was the first game between the two schools. HOBART 79 HAMILTON 57. The Statesmen returned to winning ways once again as they trounced Hamilton in the first of their home and home series 79-57. Art Lambert once again led scorers with 23 points. Gary Mendez’s drives accounted for 17 points and Bob Wetzel accounted for 13 points. Hugh Merle (Capt.) Art Lambert HOBART 62 BUFFALO 71. After trouncing Buffalo convincingly in their first meeting, the Statesmen quintet were defeated by the Bulls in Buffalo 71-62. Buffalo had too much height and the Orange and Purple were unable to combine their efforts to avoid defeat. Art Lambert dunked in 21 points in a losing cause, while Gary Mendez tallied 14. Bob Wetzel 167 Harv. Wiltsey HOBART 76 R.P.I. 80. Hobart returned home only to succumb to a strong R.P.I. aggregation 80-76 in a close, hard fought contest. The Statesmen almost pulled the game out in the wan- ing minutes, but the Engineers depth gave them enough stamina to squeak through. Bob Wetzel again turned in a fine performance, tallying 2i points. Mendez helped with 17 and Lambert hit for 16. HOBART 87 COLGATE 76. The Statesmen came back strong to defeat an expe- rienced Colgate team 87-76. The “Red Raiders” put up a strong fight, but the Statesmen had too much deter- mination, drive and fight. Art Lambert led the Hobart scoring parade with 25 points while Mendez threw in 21 and Harv Wiltsey 13. HOBART 66 OSWEGO STATE 62. Hobart brought their record up to 6-3 as they de- feated a stubborn Oswego State team 66-62. Harv Wiltsey and Art Lambert both tallied 17 points, while Bob Wetzel chipped in with 16. This was the last victory the Statesmen were to have for three games. Cotas tries for the rebound HOBART 76 LEMOYNE 87. A very strong Lemoyne team cracked Hobart’s two game winning streak as they soundly defeated the Statesmen 87-76. Lemoyne, who had played in top flight competition, had too much experience for the Statesmen quintet. They couldn’t control Lambert, however, who scored 26 points, along with Wiltsey’s 22 and Mendez’s 16 in a losing cause. HOBART 52 ROCHESTER 54. In the most disappointing game of the season, a weak Rochester team defeated the Statesmen 54-52. The Rivermen, in handing the Statesmen their fifth setback, were not impressive. Gaining a slim margin and using the freeze to perfection they were able to keep off the hungry Hobart shooters. Mendez led all scorers with 16 points and Lambert had 13. However, Hobart was to avenge this defeat in the final game of the season. HOBART 81 ST. LAWRENCE 88. Hobart traveled to Canton, only to be defeated by St. Lawrence 88-81. This brought Hobart’s record to an even 6-6 and marked the Statesmen’s last defeat of the campaign. Hobart had four men in double figures. Wiltsey led with 22, followed by Lambert, 18, Wetzel, 17, and Mendez 14 but the Orange and Purple were unable to douse the hot Larries hands. HOBART 61 CLARKSON 55. Hobart began its winning ways once again with a clean 61-55 triumph over Clarkson. Lambert’s jump shots accounted for 22 points while Wetzel and Mendez jumped and drove for 12 and 10 points respectively. HOBART 63 HAMILTON 59. The Statesmen moved on to Clinton where they once again defeated Hamilton, this time by a slim margin of four points, 63-59. Bob Wetzel tallied 17 points to take scoring honors. Mendez had 15 points and his con- sistency to hit in double figures was a contributing factor to the team’s success. The team now stood at 8-6 with three games remaining. Wetzel tries a tap to Mendez. Lambert gets the jump HOBART 65 ALFRED 48. The Statesmen returned home and Alfred is probably sorry they ever did, for the Garnishmen trounced the Saxons 65-48. “Spike” substitued freely towards the end. This marked the final home game for Lambert, Mendez, Wiltsey and Merle. Mendez led the scorers with 18 points and Wiltsey was close behind with 17, however, it was the slick passing of Hugh Merle which highlighted the victory. HOBART 78 HARTWICK 71. The Statesmen journeyed to Oneonta and defeated the Hartwick quintet 78-71. Art Lambert and Gary Mendez again topped the Hobart scoring list with 27 points and 25 points respectively to pace the victors. Lambert’s jump shots from around the foul circle were literally unstoppable as were Mendez’s uncanny drives and push shots. HOBART 79 ROCHESTER 74. Hobart climaxed the 1957-58 season with a brilliant 79-74 victory over its arch rival, Rochester. Gary Mendez ended his career by stealing the show as he drove and shot with amazing accuracy, accounting for 29 points. This effort marked the seasons high for a Hobart player. Mendez was ably assisted by Bob Wetzel who scored 21 points and at one point tallied 8 points in succession in a terrific scoring spurt. Art Lambert only hit for 10 points but his rebounding and defensive work kept the team in the game throughout. Hugh Merle again led the team on the floor while chipping in 14 points. 169 Wrestling Row l: Beale, Wolf, Lust, Hanwit, Metcalf, Widowson. Row 2: Demuth (Coach), Engel, Klinger, Krein- heded, Lynch Charlie Agar referees, as Hobart holds a near pin. 170 Metcalf holds Hamilton opponent after take-down The din of grunts and groans echoed back and forth across the quad during the winter months of 1957-58, as a long awaited wrestling team made its initial appear- ance on Hobart’s campus. Coached by Ray Demeuth, the small turnout of grapplers began conditioning themselves early in December amidst the cramped quarters of the Hobart locker room and using mats without any face covers. Many experienced men were discouraged by the poor conditions and failed to turn out for the team. However, much credit is in order to those men who subjected themselves to one of the most grueling and intensified training sports of all the inter- collegiate activities. After three months of running, excercising and mas- tering the art of wrestling, the grappler’s moment of glory came. Hamilton, who instituted the sport only one year ago, was to be our first match. The team bor- rowed a face cover from Geneva High School, secured Freshman, Charles Agar, a Hobart Student, as a referee and were ready for the Continentals on March 1, 1958. Working half-nelson for the roll and pin. Surprisingly enough, a large crowd of approximately 250 circled the running track in Williams Hall to cheer on the new team. But the Orange and Purple started off on the wrong foot, losing the first two matches. The Statesmen didn’t stay scoreless long as Freshman, Dave Lust, wrestling at 147, decisioned his opponent and thereby became the first Hobart wrestler to win a match. The rest of the team quickly followed suit, as Bill Hanwitt pinned his man in short order and Burt Klinger won on a decision. Bill Widdowson then lost for Hobart deadlocking the match at li-ii, setting the stage for Heavy Weight, John Metcalf’s match winning pin. Another match with Hamilton is scheduled at the time of printing. 171 Lacrosse Row i: Lennox, Gordon, Appelton, Beedon (Capt), Kolodney, Tepper, Weissauer, Wells.

It was a difficult season for “Babe” Kraus’ inexperiencedsophomore laden team, but it showed signs of future brightness. Kraus was faced with a rebuilding job after losing All-Americans, George Lassiter, Jerry Angell and Bill Burhans by graduation. Beedon, Capt. Midfield Around the solid nucleus of Captain, Bill Beedon, Buzz Kolodney, Harv YViltsey, Ken Wells and Fred Appleton was built a team of determined and cou- rageous men who fought hard to end the season with a respectable four win five defeat record. It was a hard job as the team started slow but continued to mature, finishing the season with two impressive victories over Union and Hamilton. Kolodney, Attack The high point of the 1957 lacrosse season was most certainly the pre-season training trip to the south. The trip was sponsored by the profits from the concessions at the home football games, and may well become a permanent fixture on the Hobart lacrosse schedule. There, the stickmen, unhampered by the seasonal upstate New York mud were able to work themselves into condition. Between workouts the Statesmen also found time to play three practice games against Johns Hopkins University, Loyola of Baltimore Varsity and Wells, Defense Although the Statesmen never really showed signs of greatness equal to the teams of the past few years, they did have moments that made the future look bright. The team, which was filled with much young, green material, matured with each game, and all opponents knew they had a battle on their hands for no game was a pushover. Appleton, Gaal HOBART 8 KF.NYON 2. Returning from their trip through the south, the Statesmen opened their season on a wet and muddy Boswell Bowl while the school was still officially on their Easter vacation. It was a good day for Hobart all around, as the veteran defense sparkled and the offense, led by captain Bill Beedon and “Buzz” Kolodney, each scoring three goals, looked excellent. Navy Junior Varsity. 173 Captain elect Wiltsey retrieves the ball and . . . HOBART 2 CORNELL io. With school now reopened, Hobart traveled to Ithaca to face the “Big Red” of Cornell and renew the rivalry that has been going since 1898. However, the inexpe- rienced Statesmen just couldn’t click as the “Big Red” were too overpowering. Spirited on by the fine play of Harv Wiltsey and Bill Beedon as well as the superb goal tending of Fred Appleton, the Hobart stickmen tried gamely but after five minutes, Cornell had grabbed the lead that never was to be relinquished. HOBART 14 CORTLAND n. On Spring Weekend the Statesmen were back at Boswell Bowl to face Cortland State Teachers College. This game was probably the hardest fought game that Hobart had all season and it was marked by many penalties. After mid-fielder, Don Dahowski opened scoring, Hobart was not to be caught as the Statesmen went on to win their second game of the season. Hobart was paced again by Harv Wiltsey and Bill Beedon with strong support from Don Dahowski. HOBART 4 SYRACUSE 16. Syracuse, led by their All-American Jimmy Brown were just too much for the outclassed Statesmen. The teamwork and ball-handling of the superior Orange was just magnificent as they grabbed the lead within nine seconds after the game began and steam rolled to the finish. 174 . . . moves in for the shot. HOBART 9 OBERLIN io. Traveling out to Oberlin, Ohio, the Statesmen met a new opponent, Oberlin College. The Statesmen were determined to pull an upset and grabbed an early lead, dominating play in the first quarter. Oberlin, however, was not to be out done and came from behind to tie the score at the end of the second half and win in the over- time period for their 19th victory in a row. Harv Wiltsey, “Buzz” Kolodney, and Bill Beedon led the Hobart scoring attack. HOBART 4 R.P.I. 8. The following Wednesday R.P.I. visited Hobart. R.P.I., rated as one of the best teams in the country, completely dominated play in the first half. In the second half the Hobart defense began to click and the Statesmen, paced by Dave Angell, a star attackman from the previous year who had just returned to the team, and “Buzz” Kolodney pulled to within one goal. Then the Hobart drive was broken as R.P.I. quickly came back with two goals and was never threatened again. It was in that short second half spurt that the Statesmen showed promise for the future years. Captain Beedon takes an over-the-shoulder shot HOBART 8 COLGATE 11. Hobart then traveled to Hamilton, N. Y. to meet its old rival, Colgate. Again the Statesmen showed signs of maturing as they played a closely fought game all the way until late in the fourth quarter when the “Red Raiders” scored three quick markers. Credit, however, must be given to goalie, Appleton, whose excellent play kept Hobart within striking distance of their opponent. Klodney scores . . . HOBART 11 UNION 2. The slow but gradual maturing process finally came alive as Hobart met and trounced the outclassed Dutch- men from Union. Lead by the sterling play of senior, “Buzz” Kolodney, the sophomores followed suit making a rout of the game from the start. A fine performance was put forth by two sophomores, Dave McDermif t and Don Dahowski and freshman, George Campbell. HOBART 16 HAMILTON 5. I he Statesmen went all out to finish their season with a bang when they met Hamilton at Boswell Bowl. Going into the third period the Statesmen led 4-3. Then the roof fell in for Hamilton as the Hobart stickmen gave out with both barrels, scoring ten straight goals and coasted to their fourth win of the season. 175 Baseball Row i: Smith, Weber, Harrison, Miller, Watson, A.

Coach “Spike” Garnish. 176 Captain—-Al Watson, Catcher. After a dismal 1956 season, during which the Hobart “9” was below the .500 mark, the 1957 edition came back strong, and although it slumped off badly towards the end, wound up with a respectable 8-6 record. This record can be attributed mainly to the fine crew of fresh- men moundsmen and a number of sophomores on the squad. The highlight of the 1957 team was the superb pitch- ing of Freshman, Bill Hayes, who was the backbone of the Garnish moundstaff, compiling a brilliant 6-2 record. One of his defeats was a 1-0 heartbreaker to a very strong Ithaca team and on an unearned run at that. High hitter on the totem pole was Cee Jay Ver- steeg, who batted a resounding, .404, while committing only two miscues in the field. Besides these two Statesmen, the all-around per- formance of 1957 Captain, Al Watson, with a .303 average and brilliant defensive work from behind the plate didn’t go unnoticed; neither did the power hitting of clean up man, Don Weber, who socked the ball at a .291 clip. Sophomore shortstop, Robert Goldstein, who was getting his eye on the ball towards the end of the season and “Bump” Hadley’s respectable .295 batting average, also aided Hobart’s cause. Hobart opened the campaign against Canisius in Geneva and were victorious, 5-3 as Freshman, Bill Hayes, chalked up his initial collegiate triumph, backed by the hitting of Hadley and Cee Jay Versteeg, who contributed two hits apiece. The second team to fall to the Statesmen “9” was the “Red Raiders” from Colgate, 9-3. Once again Hayes was given the mound chores and turned in a fine performance as he scattered seven Colgate hits to per- fection. Junior Outfielder, Don Weber, came up with three hits while Statesmen swatters, Goldstein, Ver- steeg, and Tom Watson each had two. 77 Hayes—Hobart’s ace pitcher. Out at first by a half step. The first Statesmen loss came Spring Weekend at the hands of St. Lawrence, who turned the tide 8-4. The Statesmen sluggers were limited to five hits and their fielding was very spotty at certain positions.The loss was charged to Freshman, Robert Masteller, who was aided by Freshmen, “Bud” Allison and “Duke” Molter. A five run second inning was decisive in the St. Law- rence triumph. However, a quick recovery was made at the expense of the Rivermen from Rochester on the losers field. For the third consecutive time Hayes performed adroitly in a route going performance as Hobart triumphed, 10-2. A five run 4th highlighted the victory as did A1 Watson’s and “Bump” Hadley’s three hits apiece. One of Watson’s smacks was a booming 4 bagger. A doubleheader at Geneva against Hamilton followed and with this came the return of Bobby Goldstein who had been absent for two games due to an ankle injury. In the first game Jim Allison, pitching his first collegiate game, made it a successful debut as he whipped Hamil- ton, 9-2 behind the hitting of A1 Watson and Versteeg who got two hits apiece. Coach Garnish instructs Walt Harrison. The Statesmen returned to Geneva and defeated R.P.I., 6-2 as Hayes picked up his 4th triumph of the year on a neat 4 hitter. Then the “roof caved in” as the Statesmen proceeded to drop three in a row. A fine Clarkson team invaded Geneva and turned back Hobart, 6-2, Masteller taking his second loss but going all the way. The Statesmen then traveled to Ithaca where they were shutout for the only time during the year, 1-0. This was a heartbreaker for Bill Hayes who gave up but one unearned run. The third loss came at the hands of Rochester in Geneva, 2-1. The losing pitcher was Allison who was relieved by Hayes. Versteeg garnered the only Hobart tally as he blasted his second homerun of the season in the first inning. The losing skein was broken when the Statesmen overpowered Union, 6-2 in the first game of a double header as Hayes climaxed a superb freshmen year with a 6-2 record. In the second game the Statesmen took a sound thrashing, 10-1. In the second game the Statesmen took their second loss of the season, 3-1, and also lost the services of a highly promising Freshman, “Duke” Molter, who broke his ankle sliding into second. He was out for the re- mainder of the season. I'he loss, his first, went to Hayes in relief. However, Hayes didn’t receive much support as the Statesmen were only able to manage three hits off the slants of the Continental lnirler. The Statesmen then went on the road which re- sulted in 2 victories and no reversals. At Syracuse Hayes picked up another victory as he defeated the highly regarded Orange. Don Weber’s timely hitting produced two runs and Hayes’ own hit- ting produced the other. At Clinton, Hobart defeated Hamilton, 7-5 behind Jim Allison who survived a three run 4th and a two run 5th to post his second victory. The hitting of Don Weber again proved to be the difference as the clean-up hitter smashed a timely home run. 79 Walt Harrison Bats while Captain Al Watson catches. Tennis Captain Phil Mendell Captain Elect Dick Narins Charlie Parsons This year the Hobart netmen coached by Eddie Tryon, sported a record of six victories against one defeat. Included among their victories was an opening day win over Alfred, and after a loss to Hamilton, the only one of the year, five straight triumphs against Ithaca, 9-0, Harpur, 7-2, Clarkson, 8-0, St. Lawrence, 6-3, and Rochester, 5-4, the closest match of the season. One match against Canisius was cancelled because of inclement weather. Phil Mendell, a senior, captained the team and played in the number one position, with DickNarins, sophomore and captain-elect for 1958, in the second slot. Following these two in their order of rankings they held in the matches, were Charlie Parsons, Jim Marr, Biran, O’Bannon, and Paul Brody. The first doubles team was composed of Mendell and Marr, second doubles by Parsons and Narins, and third doubles by Mac Wilson and Charlie Dunn. BobThatcher saw limited action. The Saxons from Alfred invaded Geneva for the Statesmen’s initial match of the year and went away on the short end of a 7-2 count. Hobart netmen polished off the Saxon swatters in fine style by copping five of six singles matches and two of three doubles contests. The Statesmen journeyed to Hamilton to face their toughest opponent of the campaign, Hamilton, and were stopped cold 8-1. Charlie Parsons salvaged the only Hobart victory while Dick Narins took his man to three sets before bowing. Hobart returned home to engage the inexperienced Ithaca squad and emerged unscarred in one of the shortest matches of the year. The score: Hobart 9- Ithaca o. Charlie Dunn Brian O’Bannon Playing on the campus courts, the Orange and Purple romped to their third triumph, trouncing Harpur College, 7-1. Parsons and Mendell lost a pair of close ones in singles, but the other members of the squad managed to win handily. One of the highlights of the season was the weekend excursion to Clarkson and St. Lawrence. Due to heavy rains on Friday the Clarkson match was postponed to Saturday morning. Despite the awkward time for a tennis match the Clarkson match was never in doubt as the Statesmen walked off without giving up a point. After the match the Statesmen packed their gear and rode over to nearby St. Lawrence where they ran into much unsuspected trouble. After the first four singles matches were completed each team had two points. In the remaining matches, Hobart’s Paul Brody and Brian O’Bannon came from behind to win their matches. The Statesmen won 6-3. After the Canisius match was postponed, the nalfi game of the season found Statesmen invading the Yellow Jackets of Rochester. The Rivermen, needing only a victory over Hobart to complete an undefeated season, found the Orange and Purple a little too tough in the clutch and were edged out in the final match of the day, 5-4. 181 Paul Brody Mac Wilson and Charlie Dunn playing doubles. Golf Hughie Merle, Captain Captained by Junior, Hugh Merle, and coached by Stan Chizinski from the Geneva Country Club, the Statesmen golfers started their 1957 campaign with a ball of fire by clubbing Alfred, Ithaca, and Harpur in three out of Lheir first four matches, losing only to a highly- rated Hamilton squad. Playing their final four engagements on foreign soil, Hobart’s dream of a winning season was shattered, when a rainy weekend trip to Clarkson and St. Lawerence netted two set- backs, and the final two matches of the year also incurred defeat at the hands of Canisius and Rochester. However high hopes for a suc- cessful ’58 season were forthcoming from all quarters. Underclassmen who showed signs of greatness from time to time were Les York (Captain-elect lor ’58), Dick Fowler, Bob Zinn, Rob Baron and iq !7 captain Hugh Merle. The ( hange and Purple picked up thcii fusl win of 1 lie season, 6Id -I'2 against Mhed as Les York, Steve Rwsrnhlnnin, Bob Zinn and Dick Fowler all posted identical 7y’s In the next match Hamilton tripped Hobart 7l 2-13d- Back home again, the Statesmen got back on their winning way by trouncing inexperienced Ithaca 8-1. Hampered by high winds, Les York man- aged to shoot a blazing 76, leading the Statesmen to victory over Harpur 6-3. The Clarkson-St. Lawerence weekend, a constant rain poured throughout the two days and The Orange and Purple were never able to recover from the two weekend set backs. Canisius outpointed us 7-2 and Rochester poured it on by romping 9-0. •I.V. Football Row .- Kuhns, Mace, Russell, Crowell, Vielbig, Shift , Cohen, Wagner.

In the four games that the J.V. played, they started off slowly, dropping the first two but reversed themselves in the final pair after gaining much experience by work- ing out with the varsity. The team opened opposite the frosh of Buffalo University and received a thrash- ing, 20-0. Cortland’s J.V. proved too much for the Statesmen in the next contest as they handed the Garnishmen their second setback in as many games, 26-6. Hobart finally got into the win column in the third game by turning back the Morrisville Aggies, 20-7. The final tilt of the season saw the Statesmen even up their record at 2-2 against the LIniversity of Rochester Freshmen, 19-13. 182 SOCCER Clinton, B. G. Cody, W. D. (Capt.) Gordon, C. L.

It is the end product of a great many operations by an even greater number of individuals, who must have not only the talent but the enthusiasm and spirit of a team. These are the people that make a yearbook a success while the editor receives all the credit. There are those who organize, those who do layout work, those who write, those who collect advertising and handle the finances, those who take, deveiope, and print photographs, and those who do everything from typing to proofreading. These are the individuals to whom the credit should go and these are the individuals to whom I am thankful for the spirit and cooperation which made the publication of 1958 ECHO possible. In particular I would like to rhank my Associate Editor, Robert Schutrum and Senior Editor, Donald Cook for their hard work in obtaining the material and creating a great parr of this book. To Hubert Merle, The Business Manager of the ECHO I wish to express my deepest gratitude for his wonderful job of managing and obtaining the finances which made this book pos- sible. To Richard Davison, my Organizations and Activities Editor and successor, I give a great deal of credit for his loyalty and hard work in the layout and organization of a large part of this year’s ECHO. A college yearbook is, for the most part, a photograph album. If anyone has ever had the opportunity to take, develop, and print some three hundred photographs they will realize the task and responsibility held by the photography editor. It is to Charles Parsons that I extend my greatest appreciation for the most marvelous job in photography that I have ever had the occasion to witness. To the Varden Studios in Rochester, New York, and in particular to Mr. Carl Tandoi, my thanks for the full cooperation and fine work done by you and your staff in the photographing of the seniors and activity groups. To the W. J. Keller Company, in Buffalo, New York, I wish to express my gratitude for your most helpful suggestions and fine job of printing. In particular I would like to thank Mrs. Jewell Gates and Mr. E. L. Hengerer for your personal interest in the 1958 ECHO. To Mr. Clifford Orr and the Alumni House Staff of Hobart College, a word of thanks for your help in obtaining some of the photographs and other information which were vital in the produc- tion of our book. To the faculty and administration of Hobart College, 1 would like to express my appreciation for your cooperation in the completion of the finest faculty section the ECHO has ever seen. In closing I would again like to extend my greatest thanks to the Staff of the 195S ECHO of the SENECA for the extra effort this year to make the 100th Anniversary Issue the best.
