Early in December, 1958, a notice appeared on the Coxe Hall bulletin board requesting the return of a radiator cap missing from a Mercedes-Benz automobile. It was signed simply W. H. Durfee. Seemingly a request from any member of the college community, we know of course that this small announcement came from Walter Hetherington Durfee, Dean. By such typically unassuming means as this has this man effectively carried out his many great responsibilities and duties in his long association with Hobart. On Wednesday, June 17, 1908, Walter H. Durfee received a B.A. degree, magna cum laude, from Hobart College, with honors in Greek and Mathematics. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and gave both the Latin Salutatory and Class Prophecy. He was also the recipient of the Intercollegiate Greek and Mathematics Prizes. His undergraduate activities at Hobart included membership in Sigma Phi, the Dramatic Club, Lacrosse Squad, and, in his junior year. Associate Editor of the ECHO, this publication then being an effort of that class. Durfee also held the position of class vice-president. From the 1908 ECHO we quote: Walter is our small boy with a superabundance of brains. We call him our 'Prize Package,' and there is no fake about it either. Walter wishes to give the readers of the ECHO a problem: 'If a man starts to walk to Penn Yan and back and walks twelve miles an hour going and eight miles an hour coming back, in what month will he reach Geneva?' In 1911 Dean Durfee received his M.C.E. degree at Harvard, and later earned his Ph.D. at Cornell in 1930. His career varied considerably before his return to Hobart. From 1911 to 1913 he Graduation, June, 1908 was a draftsman for the McClintick-Mar- shall Construction Co. in Pittsburg. In Turners Falls, Massachusetts, he was En- gineering Designer for the Turners Falls Power Electric Co., from 1913 to 1917. He was Assistant to the Engineer, Proprie- tor of the Locks and Canals, Lowell, Mass- achusetts, from 1917 to 1921. He re- turned to Hobart in 1921 where he was made Assistant Professor of Mathematics, and has been full Professor since 1930. In 1937 and 1938 he was Acting Dean, and became Dean in 1938. In 1947 and 1948 he was Acting President, and was made Provost in 1948, a position he still holds. Dr. Durfee reassumed the post of Dean in 1955. Wedding day, April, 1914. 10 With a grandchild, 1945. i. k V I r DR. WALTER H. DURFEE In addition to Phi Beta Kappa, Dr. Durfee is a member of Phi Kappa Phi, the Mathematics Association of America, the American Mathematical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a contributor of publications to the London Mathematical Society. He is actively engaged in the work of the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Rochester. Walter H. Durfee was born in Geneva on January 31, 1889, the son of Dr. William Pitt Durfee, the first Dean of Hobart. Thus, for most of his life, Dr. Durfee's home has been in Geneva, and his existence has cen- tered around Hobart College, as has that of his family. His sister. Miss Elizabeth R. Durfee, is registrar. Dr. Durfee and his wife now live on South Main Street, next to the old Durfee House which continues to bear the family name. One son, William H., graduated from Harvard in 1936. All members of the Hobart family regret to learn of Dr. Durfee's coming retirement from active work at Hobart. His plans for the future remain uncertain at this writing. We are sure, however, that Dr. Du'fee's life will continue to be most successful and rewarding. We count ourselves at Hobart fortunate that Walter Durfee has favored us with so much of his energy, time, and patience. Therefore, it is with great humility that we dedicate this book to our Dean and Pro- vost, Walter Hetherington Durfee. I I THE REV. LOUIS M. HIRSHSON Louis Melbourne Hirshson received his B.S. degree in 1922 from Harvard University, and was ordained as a clergyman in 1925. He was Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, Hartford, Connecti- cut, from 1946 to 1956. In 1956, he received his S.T.D. from Berkeley Divinity School, New Hav- en, Connecticut. In addition to these activities, Dr. Hirshson held other varied positions before coming to Hobart. He was a salesman for Procter Gamble in Ohio, coached a professional football team for three years, and has been associated with the founding or trusteeship of sev- eral schools, including two graduate schools of theology. During World War II, Dr. Hirshson was chairman of the Pittsburgh Area War Labor Board Committee, and has, since 1950, been trustee of the Inter-Professional Commission on Marriage and Divorce Laws of the American Bar Associa- tion. i President Hirshson, as an Episcopal clergyman, follows a tradition which existed since Hobart's founding, with the exception of the years from 1936 to 1956. He continues in his plan to make Hobart one of America's finest liberal arts col- leges. We feel sure that he is succeeding. Hobart is fortunate and blessed to have such a man at the helm. Since his arrival at Hobart in July of 1956, Dr. Hirshson has lost no time in endearing himself to us all. Familiarity with his collections of shav- ing mugs and train records has spread, and stu- dents and faculty alike regard him as a personal friend. 15 TRUSTEES The Rt. Rev. Dudley Scott Stark Chancellor of the Corporation Merle A. Gulick Chairman of the Board Carroll R. Harding Vice-Chairman of the Board Merle A. Gulick, chairman of the Board of Trustees at the Colleges of the Seneca, is vice- president of the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, and a Hobart graduate, class of 1930. In his undergraduate years, Mr. Gulick was president of his freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes, played varsity football, basketball, and lacrosse, and was named to every campus honor society. In December, 1958, Mr. Gulick was nominated for inclusion in the National Football Hall of Fame. He is a member of Kappa Alpha. In 1930, Mr. Gulick joined Equitable as a service supervisor in the Group Department, and has since then, worked himself up to his present high post. A Lieutenant Commander in the Coast Guard, Mr. Gulick helped or- ganize the Port Security Division, the organization which protected two hundred and fifty ports against sabotage during World War II. He saw action in the European and Pacific theaters. Joseph J. Myler George D. Whedon Paul E. Vogt The Rt. Rev. Lauriston L. Scaife Robert E. Doran William F. Hamilton, Alumnus Trustee Byron S.

COOK On October 17, 1958, death came to one of Hobart's most loyal alumni at his home on South Main Street, Geneva. Edward John Cook, hobart 1895, affectionately known as Eddie John in college, legal, and Geneva circles, died at the age of eighty-five years. Mr. Cook was captain of the football team at Hobart, and won the White Rhetorical Prize at his graduation. He took a postgraduate course the following year, at which time he coached the foot- ball team, and is said to have been Hobart's first athletic coach. He was a member of Theta Delta Chi, and later served as the twenty-third President or the Grand Lodge of that organiza- tion, in addition to remaining extremely active in all fraternity affairs, locally and nationally. He was the author of the Hobart College Alma Mater. He received the degree of LL.B. from New York Law School in 1898 and practiced law at 50 Seneca Street, Geneva, for sixty years. Mr. Cook specialized in corporation law and estate work. He was active and influential in many organizations in Geneva. For two years he was president of the Federated Bar Associations of Western New York, and was Vice President of the New York Bar Association for twenty years. In 1938 he was a delegate to the New York State Con- stitutional Convention. Mr. Cook was a trustee of Hobart College for twenty-six years up to 1943. He was the secre- tary of the Board of Trustees for much of that time. He was to receive an honorary LL.D. de- gree from Hobart in June 1959. It is heartening to know that President Hirshson had informed Mr. Cook of this before his death. Hobart College is indeed fortunate to have had men such as Eddie John Cook as part of the college family. He will be sorely missed. 27 MAJOR ALESSANDRO BERETTA Assistant Professor of Air Science B.S., State Teachers, Vermont, 1950 CAPTAIN EDWARD M. LINDBLOOM Assistant Professor of Air Science B.S., Black Hills Teachers College, 1951; M.A., Colorado, 1954 LT. COL. LAROY R. STOLTZ Professor of Air Science B.S., Illinois, 1932 CAPTAIN SAMUEL C. SCHENK Assistant Professor of Air Science CAPTAIN BATORSKI Assistant Professor of Air Science 28 In Blemortam The college was stunned to learn of the sudden death of Captain Thomas Barton, USAF. This article is not intended as a resume of the Cap- tain's life, but rather as a tribute to him as a man we all held in the highest regard. His contribution to the college and the Air Force was great, and his students and associates will not forget his abilities as an in- structor. We will remember him for his warm and friendly personality, which endeared him to hundreds of his students, and let us know that above all he was our friend, and always ready to help. His humor and frankness helped many of us over rough spots. Only a friend dees that. It is difficult to express our feelings when we lose such a man as Captain Tom. Anyone who knew him must know how we all feel. So, a final good-by to the Captain—we won't forget him. We couldn't. —The Herald 29 30 Sigh.' RESHMAN From fifteen states and two foreign countries, 237 of us entered Hobart in September, 1955, the largest class since World War II. Orientation week provided us with our final fling. However, we were set back momentarily when we realized that we greatly out- numbered our feminine friends from across the street. But the news that four hundred more were only mo- ments away and the thought that in a few months we might be in a fraternity where we could find someone to drive us there bolstered our hopes. And so we be- gan classes confidently, going to HLA lectures, hand- ing in original English themes, etc . . . The time flew by quickly. Some of us got interested in extra- curricular activities, but in general we didn't have much to say about anything, and it felt strange, since only a few months before we had been running the show. And time kept flying by . . . Dr. Hubbs became Act- ing President upon Dr. Brown's resignation; Professor Atkinson became Assistant Dean. The IFC instituted a mandatory 1.45 average for pledging a fraternity, and Hobart received some national recognition when it appeared on the College Quiz Bowl, a nationally broadcast radio program . . . We lost the Soph-Frosh brawl, but since we displayed so much spirit, hazing was halted, as was the brawl, because of injuries to some of the participants. Rushing began and the IFC added another innovation: preferential bids . . . Our football team lost to Alfred on Fall Weekend, ending an eighteen game winning streak. In basketball we compiled a 15-5 record. A number from our class took part . . . Springtime arrived and we had our first look at the famed Geneva mud. Babe Kraus entered his thirtieth year of coaching lacrosse at Hobart, and we were hosts for the North-South All-Star lacrosse game ... Dr. Hirshson was appointed eighteenth president of the Colleges at the end of the year, and with one year behind us, we became experienced Sophomores, men of the world. No beanie, no eats. 32 OPHOMORE Some of us had distinguished ourselves by being elected to Orange Key, class officers, Board of Control, etc., and we began to assume more responsibility in school affairs . . . The soccer team played its first season of all varsity competition and Eddie Tryon's -gridders garnered another successful campaign, winning seven and losing just one, to Union on Parents' Weekend. The Rochester rivalry was renewed and Hobart took the first game, 20-0 . . . The college con- tinued to increase its facilities with the completion of the science reading room in the new chemistry building, and ground breaking ceremonies for the north wing of the building were held in the spring of our sophomore year . . . The 1956-1957 school year was one which saw the Hobart students help to meet an international emergency by sponsoring two Hungarian students' education and living expenses. Our class took an extremely active part in the cam- paign to raise funds . . . Fraternity row became a reality when Delta Chi purchased its new home on South Main Street; the Theta Delta Chi house was completely destroyed by fire; Gamma Delta tried to become the eleventh fraternity and failed . . . Our basketball team had a very poor season, falling below the .500 mark for the first time in many years. Raymond W. Albright, chairman of the Board of Trustees, died. And there was the Millet controversy which rocked the entire school. 33 Hobart football teams had been sensational in our first two years, but it wasn't until our junior year that the team went undefeated, winning six. Two of the games had to be cancelled because of the flu epidemic which swept the East ... A wrestling team was started under the direction of Ray De- meuth. The team won both of its scheduled matches. Along with the wrestling squad, the fencing team struggled for recognition. The quad athlete picked up a new craze called frisbee, and stickball and lacrosse played second fiddle momentarily . . . Hobart's expansion program continued with the com- pletion of the north wing of the chemistry building. This wing was the spacious Albright Auditorium, which replaced Coxe Hall as the lecture room . . . The IhC became an influential part of campus life and produced many innovations. Foremost the creation of a Judicial Board to handle all infractions con- cerning fraternity men; also arranged was Greek Week, at which time all fraternities would initiate their pledges; the Variety Show was insti- tuted to replace the Sing; and an IFC trophy was in- troduced, to be awarded to the most outstanding fraternity on the campus, beginning with the academic year 1957- 1958 ... In the interest of education the students sponsored the appearance of two excellent lecturers. One was Mr. duPlessis, the South African Ambassador to the U. S., and the second was the Hon. Alexander Ustinov, First Secretary of the Soviet Embassy in Wash- ington, D. C. . . . Student resident tutors were used in the dor- mitories. Dr. Andrew Hubbs, college physician died, and was succeeded by Dr. Ward. Mr. Atkinson became Associate Dean . . . April 19, 1958 was Hobart and William Smith Colleges Day in New York City, by official proclamation of Mayor Wagner. Schola Cantorum sang in Town Hall for the occasion, and the following day in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Complete with grin.

BOARD OF CONTROL The Hobart Board of Control has been the foremost legislative body on campus ever since the turn of the century. Representatives elected from each class, a representative from the In- terfraternity Council, and a representative from the Independent Body make up the total member- ship. Under the influence and leadership of this year's President, Craig Messersmith, the Board has done its best to further student organizations and close coordination with them. The Board closely supervises the finances of student organizations which receive money from the student tax, and also uses its discretion in recognizing new student organizations and their charters. In attempts to further the social life of the students, as well as their education, the Board has financed and publicized many concerts and lectures. 88 The highest overall student honor at Hobart College is election to the Druid Society. Member- ship 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 qualities of leadership in extracurricular ac- tivities. There is no single criterion for membership in Druids; its members include athletes, cam- pus publication editors, and leaders in student government. If there can be said to be a single qualification for Druid selection it is this: Most outstanding on campus. The Society was established at Hobart on December 12, 1903. Although its primary 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 advisors to the president on student affairs, and help to coordinate the activities of Freshman Orientation Week. CHIMERA FRONT ROW, left to right: Richard (Sec.-Treas.), Watson (President). BACK ROW, left to right: Weinstein, Chirelstein, Tinsley, Eisenberg, Weishaus, Robert- son. Chimera, the Junior Honor Society, derives its name from mythology's fire-breathing monster having a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail. The Society is self-perpetuating, selecting its new members from men of the Sophomore class who have distinguished themselves in both academic and extracurricular fields. The new members are an- nounced at the annual Moving-Up Day ceremonies. Included among Chimera's duties are the preparation for Commencement exercises and advisory duties during Freshman Orientation Week. The Spring Weekend dance and Jazz Concert are also their responsibility. Throughout the school year, the society joins the Druid society in carrying out their projects. 90 ORANGE KEY FRONT ROW, left to right: Arum, Kerley, Holden. BACK ROW, left to right: Hahn, Kreinheder, Kahn, Tierney, Brunei. The Orange Key Society, founded in 1926, is the Sophomore Honor Society of Hobart College. Its main function is one of acting as a reception committee and as a host to members of each year's Fresh- man Class, as well as to visiting parents, sub-Freshmen, and to members of visiting athletic teams. Basic for selection of Freshmen to the society is ability in leadership, responsibility, and scholarship. Other activities of the society during the academic year include, along with the other honor societies, the supervision of Freshman Orientation Week. Each honor society member is assigned five or six fresh- man advisees, the purpose being to acquaint them with the traditions of the school. As a climax to their work. Orange Key organizes and supervises the annual Fall Weekend Float Parade and Dance. t BK President, Dr. Walter H. Durfee Secretary, Mr. John R.

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 sec- tions 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 1958-59, as in every college year, is to elect under-graduates to membership, in recognition of their scholarship and of such personal qualities as intellectual 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 indicated 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 win- ner'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 bestows honorary membership upon him. 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 founders, for the promotion of Friendship, Morality, and Literature. In more modern terms, it protects and advances the cause of quality in American education in general and at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in particular. PHI SIGMA IOTA Phi Sigma lota, the national honorary Ro- mance Language society, was founded in 1929 at Allegheny College. The Phi Eta chap- ter was established at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in 1939. The objectives of the society are to pro- mote better human understanding through the study of the Romance languages and the culture of the nations who speak them. Scholarship in these fields is encouraged through research and discussion. A research paper is presented by one of the members at each of the monthly meetings. FRONT: Rodriguez, Pierce.

The New York Rho Chapter was established here in 1953, the Society itself dating to 1927. The purpose of the organization is to foster interest in all fields of the social sciences. Members of the chapter work to furth- er their understanding of their field. They visit local industries, hear lectures by recognized experts, and view pertinent films. In order to qualify for membership, a student must achieve an average of B or better for a total of twenty hours in the social sciences. 93 EPSILON PI SIGMA Epsilon Pi Sigma is the local Science Honor So- ciety. It was founded at Hobart in 1924 and was expanded to both colleges in 1939. Its purpose is to recognize and reward scientific work of merit and its members include all students who have main- tained a certain academic standard within the Natural Sciences. Election to the Society usually comes in the Fall of the prospective members' Junior Year. Dr. Bcinert is the faculty advisor to the Society. Left to nght: Weiss, Anderson, Lipson (President), Greenspan. KAPPA BETA Kappa Beta Phi is the national honorary social society. It was established at Hobart in 1890. Weekly seminars are held in one of the local establishments designed to suit their purposes, and the organiza- tion sponsors two parties annually, on Fall and Spring weekends. An atmos- phere of carefree abandon invariably characterizes these parties. SEATED, left to right: Koehler, Miller. STANDING, left to right: Clarke, Dahowski (President), Christie, Schwenk, Hulett. PHI DELTA Phi Delta is the honorary journalistic so- ciety at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, and was founded in 1947. It purports to give recognition to students who have displayed outstanding qualities in journalism, literature, or any of the related arts, and to encourage efforts in these fields. A student must have held a position on two or more college pub- lications, or have done other literary work deserving recognition to qualify for member- ship. Rogers, Stark, Fleschutz, Weigand, Kelley, Advocate, Wheelock. DELTA PHI ALPHA Delta Phi Alpha is the honorary Ger- man language society recognizing ability and interest in the German language and culture. It was founded in 1929 at Wof- ford College, South Carolina. In 1940 the Beta Phi chapter was established at the Colleges of the Seneca through the efforts of Dr. Alexander Harris and Prof. Frederick Lehnert and the late Prof. Ed- ward Williamson. The purposes of Delta Phi Alpha are to honor proficiency in the German lan- guage and to promote the study of Ger- man civilization, literature and culture. Probably the greatest asset of Delta Phi Alpha is that it gives the student an in- centive for higher scholarship.

Kappa Kappa Psi, the Hon- orary Musical Fraternity, was founded nationally in 1919 with a chapter being estab- lished at Hobart in 1953. Since that time the Gamma Epsilon Chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi along with the Band Director and Staff, have guided the activities of the Hobart Marching Band. Planning of half time pro- grams and the away-game trip comprised the tall activ- ities plus the sponsorship of several social gatherings, i. e. picnics. Under the auspices of the fraternity, the Concert Band entertained at several concerts throughout the area, including the annual Campus Concert and the 2nd Annual Hammondsport Concert (fol- lowed by a trip to the famous Hammondsport wineries). The officers for the year 1957-58 were: George Rich- ard, President; John Wheel- er, Vice President; Pete Tins- ley, Treasurer; Al Scheeren, Secretary; Mr. Lindsay Laf- ford, Sponsor; and Mr. Nich- olas D'Angelo, Director. TAP KAPPA ALPHA Tau Kappa Alpha is the national honorary debating society. The Hobart chapter was established in 1935 and recognised in 1946. Its purpose is to honor outstanding speakers and debaters, and to stimulate the development of better and more effective debating and public speaking. A student is eligible for member- ship after completing two years of service on the debating team. 96 Left to right: Stinson, Jayasekera. I.R.H.S. The International Relations Honor Society was founded in 1916 as a chapter of the national organization sponsored by the Car- negie Endowment for International Peace, and whose purpose it is to promote interest and understanding in world affairs. The honor society is affiliated with the Association of International Relations Clubs, the Collogialo Council of the United Nations, and other international organizations. It has sponsored and participated in a monthly pro- gram of debates and addresses, inviting fac- ulty members and other distinguished guests. Mr. Wenfzel Christoffel du Plessis, U. S. Am- bassador from the Union of South Africa, and Mr. Alexander Oustinov, First Secretary of the Embassy of the U.S.S.R. were our most honored guest speakers.

ARNOLD AIR SOCIETY The yellow and bhje of the Arnold Air Society, now in its fifth year at Hobart, is an honorary and fraternal organization composed of junior and senior cadets. Nationally the Society unites more than ten thousand members in one hundred colleges and universities. Its members, anticipating reserve commissions, are con- cerned with furthering the meaning and traditions of the United States Air Force on their respective campuses. The Hobart Squadron, formed by six cadets in the spring of 1954, was named after an alumnus, Lieutenant Robert H. Taylor, who died in action during the Sec- ond World War. The Society meets every two weeks for discussion and promotion of the campus and community projects it sponsors. West, Cole, Hicks, Wood, Thatcher, Birkel, Van Velsor.

STANDING, left to right: Walley, Richard, Freeman, Weinstein, Ohl This book, The Echo, is the direct descendant of a four-columned, four-page journal upon which the ink has been dried for one hundred and one years. Not a yearbook, as we think of one today, it served well as a trumpet for the full-spirited braggadocio of the Sophomore Class, and a chronicle of their despotic rule over the Frosh. Since then, with the on-rush of American and Fraternal Democracy, the style, pur- pose, and form of The Echo have changed considerably. It has become, more and more, a declamatory expression of the Senior Class—a lasting pen-print of the graduat- ing class, sometimes bombastic, usually inspired, and always exclamatory. In 1947, the final step toward its present form was taken, and The Echo became an all-class production under the editorship of a Senior. 101 FRONT: Robinson, Turner, Jacowitz, Brody, Eisenberg, Weinstein, Chirelstien, Paine, Minozzi, Stark, Greenspan.

THE HERALD STAFF Founded in 1879 as a monthly literary and news maga- zine, the Herald has developed since 1 900 into the official newspaper of Hobart and William Smith College and is published weekly throughout the school year. The Herald is the oldest continuous newspaper in Geneva and is a member of the National Collegiate Press Associa- tion. 102 “H” BOOK The H Book is published annually by representatives of the Junior class. It is the official guidebook cf the college, and its pri- mary function is to familiarize both Freshmen and transfer students with Hobart traditions, and with the nature of the various campus organizations. The book contains a guide map of the campus, various organizational con- stitutions, Hobart's songs and cheers, the school calendar, athletic recapitulations, brief write ups of the extracurricular activities, plus a description of each of the ten Greek letter fraternities. The H Book informs incoming students with all non-academic facets avail- able to him at Hobart College. Wheelock, Metcalf, Wolf, Parsons, Husted. Rogers, Bromberg, Hiden. HOBART REVIEW The Hobart Review is a student publi- cation which is a medium for the literary talents of Hobart men. It includes any field of writing in which the student dem- onstrates ability. It appears once a semes- ter, and is partially supported by the stu- dent tax fee. Its function is to encourage student literary efforts, and rewards them by being published. Mr. Benjamin P. Atkinson is faculty advisor to the publica- tion. 103 WEOS FRONT: Page, Minozzi, Hansen, Lockwood, Bream, Small, Ludlum, Oberlander, Kline, Bonestecl.

WEOS, the radio voice of Hobart and William Smith Colleges, was founded ten years ago to provide training in the various fields allied with radio, and to establish, operate and maintain radio facilities on these cam- puses. In its total of 41 broadcasting hours per week, emanating from the basement of Smith Hall, WEOS offers com- plete broadcasts of world news, sports and campus events, original student and faculty programs, interviews of campus interest, and a variety of musical entertainment covering the top 35 tunes of the day, and the best in jazz and classical music. To fully accommodate its listening audience, which potentially is the entire student body living on campus since the rewiring program was completed last Fall, WEOS purchased a new console this year, many times more effective than its old one, and versatile enough to necessitate a re-training program for all control operators. Other innovations at the studio during 1958-59 include a new floor in the control room, and an annex adjoin- ing the studios, presently housing the United Press International teletype, which is maintained entirely by WEOS funds. In final judgment, every department of the station has increased its quality to such a great degree, that a WEOS delegation to a radio conference at NYU last fall, learned that the radio station of Hobart and William Smith Colleges was, by actual comparison, the leading college radio station in New York State. 104 CHEERLEADERS The cheerleaders of the Colleges were responsible for the encouragement of greater school spirit at the football games this fall. They also led pep rallies and aided in Orien- tation Week for the class of 1962. FRONT: Tobias, Weale, Perkins. STANDING: Van Lieu, Mc- Leod, Baker, Johnson, Hewson, Charters. INTRAMURAL BOARD The Intramural Board of Hobart College consists of one member of each dormitory and fraternity and is set up specifically to oversee the entire curriculum of intramural athletics on the Hobart campus. Presided over by a chairman, each individual sport is or- ganized and handled by an appointed man- ager in whose hands is placed the responsi- bility of scheduling, securing referees, and tallying of league standings. The Board also is the acting body in such matters as disputes, playoffs, and personnel management, as well as handling of the inter-class contests. 105 FRONT: Arum, Ellerman, Fink, Engel, Foster, Ingersoll, Freeman, Narins, Abbey.

LITTLE THE A TER The Little Theater season of 1958-1959 opened with a March production of the well-known Broadway musical comedy, FINIAN'S RAINBOW. Playing to capacity audiences for four nights, the show starred Gary Maier, Robin Dayton, Irish Fitzpatrick, Peter Hahn, and Diane Daulton. Later in the spring, S. N. Behrman's adaptation of Jean Giraudoux's AMPHITRYON 38 was presented in Coxe Auditorium and again at Commencement. Major roles were filled by Leslie J. Stark, Diane Daulton, and Peter Hahn. Opening the fall term. Little Theater continued with S. N. Behrman, this time presenting his BIOGRAPHY. Featured were Joan Murphy, Peter Hahn, Donald Brunei, and Bill Wheelock. A novelty of this production was its staging in the round, a practice new to Little Theater this year. The play ran for five performances. In January, William Shakespeare's THE MERCHANT OF VENICE was presented. Well-received by audiences for all per- formances, including a Saturday afternoon matinee, principals were Leslie J. Stark, Judith Hasselbrack, Peter Lavery, and William Keplinger, with major supporting roles being played by Mary Ellen Christiana, William Wheelock, Charles Hickey, Carol Rieger, Marc Hulswit, John Metcalf, and James Gebara. Musical comedy returned to Coxe Hall with the March production of Cole Porter's KISS ME, KATE. Student director was Leslie J. Stark, and major roles were filled by Gary Maier, Susan Roth, and Barbara Wilson. Choreography was directed by Lynne Cumming and Joseph Kerstein, and music was provided by Nicholas D'Angelo, Melvin Hill, and Henry Hecker. Stage manager was Georg Schreiber. In April, Little Theater climaxed the season with Arthur Miller's DEATH OF A SALESMAN, with principal roles filled by Leslie J. Stark and Carolyn White. Mr. E. E.

HOBART MARCHING BAND In 1958, the Hobart Marching Band concluded its football half-time activities at the Hobart vs. Upsala game in East Orange, New Jersey. The sixty piece unit is under the direction of Mr. Nicholas V. D'Angelo with Charles Arlin as Head Drum Major and Thomas Kenny, as Associate Drum Major. This year the Band began its season with a band camp for the incoming freshman members prior to Orienta- tion Week. The Band plays at all home football games and at least one away game, the Annual AFROTC Fall and Spring Reviews, Memorial Day Parades, Pep Rallies, and this year the Band played a review for the Seneca Ordnance Depot. The governing body of the band is the Band Staff which works in cooperation with Mr. D'Angelo. It is composed of six regular members of the Band and all officers. The officers are elected at the close of each football season and are for the 1958-59 season; President: Robert Steele, Vice-President: William Van Dyke, Secretary-Treasurer: Warren Seidel, Corresponding Secretary: George Price, Librarian: Charles Allman, and Band (AFROTC) Commander: Alexander Scheeran.

COLLEGIUM ORATORIUM Collegium Oratorium, the de- bate society of Hobart and Wil- liam Smith Colleges, was or- ganized at the beginning of the century. The purpose of the So- ciety is to stimulate interest in debating and public speaking and to provide teams for inter- collegiate competition in these fields. Miss Shirley Swarthout and Mr. E. E. Griffith of the English department serve as coaches and advisors to the Society. The highlight of each year is the Potter Memorial Debate, held each May, in honor of the late Dr. John Milton Potter, a former president of these colleges. In the past, such teams as West Point and Columbia have been invited to Geneva to participate in this classic contest. Besides the intercollegiate de- bating each year, the Society also sponsors and participates in de- bates for various local civic or- ganizations, and produces an oc- casional mock-serious debate over the college radio station.

The 1958-59 Hobart Interfraternity Council has had a two-fold purpose. First, to carry out the program initiated the previous year, and second, to promote new ideas for the betterment of the Hobart fraternity system. The former has resulted in continuation of such programs as the Variety Show, Greek Week, Christmas parties for underprivileged children, charity drive, a more concise program for rushing, the Judicial Board, the awarding of IFC keys, and many other projects. After sending President Paul Tannen and Secretary-Treasurer Dick Block to the National Interfraternity Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, the IFC decided to expand its services to the fraternities and the colleges. A more extensive Greek Week is being planned, whereby assistance can be given to both the college and the community. Attempts are being made to control extensive pledge hazing, and to encourage the fraternity to acquaint pledges with more pertinent facts of be- coming active fraternity members, and to establish a high school orientation program which would send a delegation of Hobart students to nearby high schools to acquaint high school seniors with the various facets of college life. Another major project is the insertion of a deferred rushing system whereby there will be an informal rushing period during the first semester and a concise, but complete, formal rush period early in the second term. This will not only strengthen stu- dent-faculty-Administration relations, but will give the freshmen and the fraternities greater opportunities for meeting each other. This past fall. Sigma Chi was the recipient of the first awarding of the IFC Trophy to the Most Outstanding Fraternity on the Hobart Campus. Awarded on the basis of scholarship, Interfraternity athletics, extracurricular activities, and special events, the trophy was awarded during half-time of the Hobart-Union football game on Parents' Weekend. The trophy, which is the largest awarded at the college, is the only trophy of its kind in the country, and will be awarded during the fall semester of each school year by the IFC. 118 The Judicial Board is a body set up within the Interfraternity Council which is designed to deal with all infractions com- mitted by fraternity men and handles the college social code.

The chances of success for the 1958 edition of the Hobart College Statesmen were doubtful. Most of the starters of the undefeated 1957 squad were lost by graduation; those remaining were for the most part inexperienced. The pre-sea- son experts picked the Statesmen to win just one or two games. Coach Tryon was pessimistic. 142 The gridders traveled to Canton, New York, and under grey and rainy skies opened the 1958 season by kicking off to the Larries of St. Lawrence University. On the very first play from scrimmage St. Lawrence fumbled and Hobart took over on the Larrie 30 yard line. Seven plays later Sophomore quarterback Joe Yelas sneaked over from the three yard line for the initial Hobart touchdown of 1958. Captain Don Dahowski added the extra point and the Statesmen led 7-0. Don makes with the hams. Inexperience cost the Statesmen two scoring opportunities and the score remained 7-0 until a Yelas' pass was intercepted and returned 56 yards for a St. Lawrence touchdown. A kick added the extra point and the score was 7-7 as the half ended. 143 Another St. Lawrence fumble set up the second Hobart touchdown; Fullback Stu Cook carry- ing the pigskin over from the 1 yard line after it was moved 30 yards in four plays. The try for the extra point was blocked and Hobart led 13-7. The final Hobart tallies of the day came when Yelas hit Dahowski with a 32 yard pass and Dahowski kicked the extra point. Final score Hobart 20—St. Lawrence 7. Abagnale fells a tree. The following week the Statesmen were optimistic as they prepared to do battle with their arch rivals the University of Rochester Yellowjackets. This was almost the same Rochester team that had almost upset Hobart last season. The Statesmen held the Yellowjackets through the first quarter but Rochester tallied twice in the second on a line plunge and a long pass. Both attempts to convert failed and Rochester led 12-0 at the half way mark. 144 In the third quarter Hobart penetrated to the Rochester 20 and this was the deepest they got into Yellowjacket territory all after- noon. In the final stanza the Yellowjackets added two more touchdowns on a long run and another pass. Again both attempts to convert failed and the game ended with Rochester on the long end of a 24-0 shut- out. 145 COACH TRYON Timber-r-r-r. The Statesmen dug in to meet a newcomer to the Hobart football schedule; the University of Vermont Catamounts of the powerful Yankee Conference. Old Man Upset was among the spectators in the crisp fall air of Boswell Field but he would not rear his head until the final quarter. Vermont kicked off to the Statesmen and four plays later recovered a Hobart fumble. On the very first play from scrimmage the Catamounts scored on a 22 yard pass and ran for another 2 points. In the second quarter the States- men traveled 68 yards to pay dirt with Yelas sneaking over from the 3 yard line. A conversion attempt failed and the Statesmen trailed 8-6. Vermont immediately mounted an offensive which was stymied as Dahowski picked off a wayward aerial and scampered 57 yards for the second Hobart touchdown. Once again the conversion attempt failed and the half closed with the Statesmen holding a 12-8 edge. SENIORS 146 LEWIS ABAGNALE, JR. HOWARD CHRISTIE, JR. DONALD DAHOWSKI Midway in the third quarter Vermont ground out their second touchdown of the afternoon scoring on an 8 yard run. Their attempt for the extra point failed and their 14-12 lead stood until the waning minutes of the game. A field goal attempt by Dahowski was wide and short but Hobart Captain-Elect Dave Hoexter alertly smeared the Vermont receiver on the one yard line. Three plays later Senior End Chris Christie pounced on a Vermont fumble. Yelas sneaked over with the winning six points as the con- version attempt failed. Final Score Hobart 18, Vermont 14. The Statesmen traveled to Alfred the next weekend for the first game at Alfred in their long rivalry. The Statesmen lost no time as they scored on the third play of the game. Christie pounced on an Alfred fumble and Yelas went over from the 2 yard line. Dahow- ski added the extra point to make the score 7- 0. Alfred came right back traveling 46 yards in nine plays for a touchdown and made the two point play good to take an 8- 7 lead. It was a half thwarted Hobart scor- ing attempt for the clock ran out with Hobart having a first down on the Alfred five. The Saxons still clung to their 8-7 lead. 147 Don continues a tradition. Who's got it? In the third quarter another Alfred fumble set up the second Hobart touchdown and what proved to be the final scoring in the game. Senior Ken Northrup crashed over from the one yard line to put the Statesmen in the lead 13-8. The game ended with this touchdown as the difference as the conversion was missed and Alfred failed to score again. Quarterback Yelas put on an offensive show passing for 167 yards and running for 62 for a total gain of 229 yards. Dave Hoexter was largely responsible for holding the Saxon offense to a meager 90 yards on the ground on no pass completions. SENIORS 148 BURTON KLINGER JOHN METCALF Before a large Parent's Weekend, Union was the next team to fall victim to the States- men. Despite their unimpressive record Union worried Hobart for it was hard to forget their stunning upset the last time the two teams had met. All fears were in vain for the Statesmen rolled up the biggest score of the season defeating the hapless Garnet 42-0 as Coach Tryon cleared his bench. Junior Tony Holmes bucked over from the three for the first Hobart score and Dahowski snared a 15 yard Yelas pass for the second to complete the first half scoring as the Statesmen led 14-0. A 28 point avalanche which hit Union in the second half started when Yelas hit Da- howski once again with a ten yard pass. Yelas then found his other end. Senior Joe Wright, in the end zone and 149 Tell 'em what it means, Ken. promptly fired a 28 yard strike for the fourth Hobart score. Freshmen Bob Gates and Dave Martin added the fifth and sixth Hobart tallies on a one yard line buck and a 39 yard run back of an intercepted pass. The 42-0 score looked like one which would be posted by one of the powerful teams of the past, certainly not this sup- posedly weak team. After a week's lay-off the Statesmen met an undefeated, untied Hamilton College team. In this game the Statesmen would prove that they were no fluke. For the past three years the Statesmen were the spoilers of Hamilton's undefeated record and Hamilton was determined that this would not happen again. The Con- tinentals opened the scoring in the closing minutes of the first quarter on a run from the 5 yard line. The conversion attempt failed and Hamilton held a 6-0 lead which they increased to 12-0 on a 2 yard line plunge as the half ended. Onward and upward, Joe! A different Statesmen team seemed to be playing as the second half started. Once again Old Man Upset became the twelfth man in the Hobart huddle. The Hamilton line held despite a potent Hobart attack in the third quarter but on the second play of the final stanza Yelas fired a 26 yard pass to Dahowski in the end zone. The try for the extra point was blocked and the Statesmen trailed 12-6. Hobart mounted an attack which carried them to the Hamilton 7 yard line only to be robbed of a scoring opportunity when they fumbled. The Statesmen were determined however and minutes later Yelas shook loose from three Hamilton tacklers to send a 36 yard pass into the outstretched hands of Chris Christie to tie the score. The all important extra point was blocked. Hamilton tried desperately to score again but Hobart dug in and took the ball on downs to run out the clock. This 12-12 tie was certainly a victory for Hobart. 150 A cocky Hobart team traveled to East Orange, New Jersey, for the season's finale against Upsala College; a team which had never beaten the Statesmen; never even scored upon them. Upsala quickly notched the first touchdown of the afternoon on their first series of downs and made good a two point conversion. In the second quarter the Vikings added two more touchdowns on a 24 yard run and a 26 yard pass to take a 20-0 half time lead. The second half opened with the Statesmen traveling 67 yards to the Upsala 19 yard line only to have a Yelas pass intercepted and returned 81 yards for the fourth Upsala touchdown. The extra point put Upsala into a 27-0 lead. In the final quarter Hobart battled back to score two touchdowns on quarterback sneaks by Yelas and Junior Larry Russell however this was not enough as the Statesmen suffered their second loss of the season 27-12. The 1958 edition of the Hobart Statesmen will be remembered as being one of the gamest in Ho- bart's history. The team which was supposed to win just one or two games posted a 4-2-1 record. They placed two men on the E.C.A.C., small college team; Yelas and Hoexter receiving honorable men- tion. Yelas was the 4th leading passer in the E.C.A.C.-North Small College Division. The Statesmen ran more plays, gained more yards, and scored more points than their opponents and were indeed a team which the college could be proud of.

SECOND ROW: Applebaum, Kaminsky, Morrison, Kahn, Patton, Poole, Mockett, Hye-Knudsen, Samberg, Demuth. THIRD ROW: Anderson, Kitzman, Britton, Foote, Krohler, Hill, Gordon, Lust. Coach Ray Demuth's soccer team opened the 1958 season on an optimistic note. With twelve returning letter- men, and 40 candidates going out, the prospects of bettering the previous season's record of 2 wins, 4 losses and 2 ties seemed good. Then the bubble burst, due to study difficulties, a number of candidates quit the squad, among these were 2 lettermen and several promising freshmen. This left Ray with a fairly strong and well-balanced first team but no experienced substitutes. Some of the bright spots at the beginning of the sea- son, though, were the presence of freshmen John Adams, Naples High star, and Jay Wallberg, an all-Westchester county selection. A strong defensive aggregation, led by Captain Skip Messersmith and former goalie Bob Wetzel, and the return of Goalie Stew Patton after a 2 year absence filled out the picture. After this, though the team would have to be bolstered by a number of untried frosh and inexperienced sophomores. The first game was against Hartwick on October 1 1. 152 SENIORS CRAIG MESSERSMITH SEYMOUR MARGOLIN HOBART 0 HARTWICK 4 Goalie Patton and the defense kept Hartwick from scoring until 68 minutes of the game elapsed, when 4 goals were scored in succession. Hobart kept up a strong attack throughout this game, taking twice as many shots as the opponents. Outstanding in this game were Patton and fullback Wetzel. A headache play. 153 SENIORS ROBERT MILLER MICHAEL OPELL HOBART 4 CLARKSON 4 A week later, the Statesmen made their home debut, tieing highly-touted Clarkson Tech. The Engineers' All-American, Bruno Lewandowski, scored all of their goals. Ho- bart came from behind all the way to gain the tie. In the second period, Tom Poole made the score 2-1 on an assist from Wall- berg. In the last period, Lundy Gordon again assisted by Wallberg, and Wallberg both scored to tie up the score. Wallberg's goal came with but 1 :30 left in the game. At the beginning of the 5 minute overtime, Le- wandowski put one by Patton, and Gordon scored again to leave the final score tied. Leaping Lust covers ground. HOBART 4 LE MOYNE 1 The Pitchmen won their first game of the season, by beating LeMoyne at the loser's field. Freshman Skip Britton had 2 goals, while Adams and Wallberg had 2 assists apiece. The whole Hobart defense was outstanding, as LeMoyne could only take 1 3 shots on the goal. 154 DUNCAN PATTON ROBERT WETZEL HAROLD WOOD ROBERT ZINN HOBART 2 ITHACA 4 Hobart was outclassed in this contest all the way. Due to the fine defense and goal- tending the score was kept tight. The game was played under miserable conditions, in a pouring rain and on a sea of mud. This hindered the Statesmen's speed and they had to rely on their passing which was the weakest part of the attack all season. HOBART 5 GENESEO 0 This game marked Stew Patton's only shutout of the season and the last Hobart vic- tory of the season. Adams scored early in the fray, while the action see-sawed back and forth until the fourth period. Then Bob Zinn, Dave Lust and Adams scored in quick succession to ice the game. HOBART 0 ROCHESTER 6 On November 1, Hobart journeyed to Rochester to meet the revenge-bent UR. In the preceding meet- ing between the two teams, last season, Hobart tied the UR, to become the only blemish on the Rivermen's record. This year, though, Hobart deter- mination was not enough and the Statesmen were swamped 6-0. Patton had to make 14 saves while the two Rochester goalies only had to come up with 7 between them. Rochester took 40 shots to Hobart's 10, an indication of the one-sidedness of the game. In the third period Hobart pressed the attack but did everything but score. 155 HOBART 0 OSWEGO 1 For the second time in a row, and the third time in the season the Statesmen were shut out. Hobart dominated the game but couldn't get the ball past the Oswego goalie. At 4:02 of the last period Ron Benweels scored the winning goal, putting it right through Patton's hands. Losing this game, the Statesmen lost all chances to break even on the season. HOBART 1 HAMILTON 4 Adams scored the only Hobart goal in the second period, as the Pitchmen were completely out-hustled and out-classed by the Continentals. This loss left the final record at 2 wins, 5 losses and 1 tie, just a trifle better than last year's. The outlook for the '59 season looks highly favorable though, as Adams, Britton, and Gordon, a com- bination that scored 10 out of the total 16 goals scored all season, were all returning as well as Wall- berg, Poole, Lust, Kitzman and Al Potter, all standouts on the '58 team. Gordon also had 5 assists, more than the total of the rest of the squad, which pointed out the Statesmen's weakness in a coordi- nated passing attack. Graduating Seniors are, Captain Messersmith, Sy Margolin, Mike Opell, Patton, Zinn, Wetzel and Bob Wood. No Captain was elected for 1959 as it was decided that there was no man alone capable of the job.

STANDING: Garnish (Coach), Sanford, Clinton, Milner, Arum, Foster (Manager). In spite of the fact that the Hobart Statesmen encountered a mid-season slump, at one time losing eight in a row, they went on to post an overall record for the 1958-59 season. The Statesmen won their sec- ond and third games after losing their initial encounter to Alfred. After that, they went into a tail-spin losing their next eight, finally coming out ahead of Rochester in a brilliant 72-68 contest. From there on in, the Statesmen team held their own winning three out of their last six games. The final game of the season against Rochester at the River Edge campus saw the last appearance of seniors Tom Kotas and Bob Wetzel, Captain of the team who had injured his knee earlier in the season against Union. Next year the team will have a nucleus built around Jim Upper, John Adams, Pete Chamberlain, and Ron Blaessig, plus any new fresh- man that may make the team. 157 HOBART 44 ALFRED 63 The Statesmen opened the 1958-59 season with an initial loss to a strong Al- fred quintet, 63-44. Alfred, mainly to the efforts of Jerry Girmindi who tallied 26 points, was 19 points ahead at the half and never relinquished their lead. Roger Kitzman was high man for the Statesmen with 1 2 points, and teammate Bob Wetzel contributed 1 1 points to the losing cause. Blaessig up! HOBART 55 HARPUR 44 Hobart then journeyed to Harpur to help dedicate their new gymnasium and were successfully able to beat Harpur, 55-44. The team was offensively spearheaded by Jim Upper with 16 points. Bob Wetzel with 12 points, and Roger Kitzman who tossed in 1 1 points. Ron Blaessig's defensive work proved valuable in the victory. 158 HOBART 68 HAMILTON 57 The Statesmen continued their winning ways engaging Hamilton at Harpur and beat- ing them, 68-57. High man for the Orange and Purple was Jim Upper who tossed in 26 points. As they prepared to return to Geneva, the Statesmen showed a 2-1 record. HOBART 53 BUFFALO 73 Initiating a four game home stand, the Statesmen came up against a rugged Buffalo five as they were outclassed, 73-53. The Bulls first five men sported double figures, while Statesmen standouts were Roger Kitz- man with 14 points, followed closely by Jim Upper with 13 points and captain Bob Wetzel with 1 1 points. Lay-up by Blaessig HOBART 49 UNION 64 Much needed was Captain Bob Wetzel who was felled early in the contest with a knee injury as Union handed Hobart a 64-49 loss. Frank Crum of Union led all scorers with 19 points, while high in the Statesmen's column was Tom Kotas with 14 points. Roger Kitzman was the only other player for Hobart in double figures scoring 12 markers. 159 Blaessig rebounds HOBART 45 OSWEGO 52 Still minus the service of Captain Bob Wetzel, the Statesmen lost a thriller to Oswego in overtime, 52-45. Making the difference in the encounter was Oswego's Don Davis who poured in 29 points. Statesman goals were scored by Roger Kitzman and Jim Upper each accounted for 14 points, while Pete Chamberlain and Ron Blaessig controlled the boards. Ailing Bob Wetzel was replaced by Tom Kotas as Captain. HOBART 48 HAMILTON 53 Looking for their first win of the season, the Continentals from Hamilton ipvaded Statesmen territory and beat the Orange and Purple, 53-48. Although close at the half with Hamilton leading by only one point, the Buff and Blue increased their lead by eight points with only four minutes to go and held on until the final whistle. Jim Upper and Roger Kitzman paced the Statesmen with 14 and 13 points respectively. 160 JOHN BONHURST DONALD DAHOWSKI STEPHEN FOSTER Manager SENIORS HOBART 53 R.P.I. 58 Journeying to Troy in hope of breaking their four game losing streak, the Orange and Purple encountered a fast Engineer team which spelled defeat for the Statesmen, 58-53. Roger Kitzman and Jim Upper were high men for Hobart, each netting 16 points in the contest. THOMAS KOTAS ROBERT WETZEL HOBART 38 BUFFALO 63 Traveling to upstate Buffalo for the second encounter between the two clubs, the Statesmen came up once again against a strong Buffalo team, losing 63-38. Hobart's only consolation was a 20 point effort put out by Jim Upper. HOBART 49 COLGATE 85 Colgate's Red Raiders handed the Statesmen hoopsters a sound thrashing, 85-49 in the last game before mid-term examinations. Pete Chamberlain and Jim Upper shared scoring honors, each netting 13 points, while teammate Chris Chrisite tossed in 1 1 points. Colgate's Jim Salisbury led all scorers with 21 points. Hobart's loss to Colgate was the seventh one in a row for the quintet. 161 Kitzman moves in HOBART 57 ALBANY STATE 67 In an attempt to find their way to the winning path again, the States- men were thwarted in their effort as they were bowled over by hard-run- ning Albany State, 67-57. Gary Holo- way, Albany State forward, led all scorers as he tossed in 25 points. Scoring for the Orange and Purple was Jim Upper who registered 20 points. John Adams followed with 15 points and Tom Kotas canned 12. The Statesmen's record now stands at a dismal 2-9 with a little more than half the season to play. HOBART 72 ROCHESTER 68 A fiery quintet spelled defeat for the Statesmen's arch-rival Rochester, in a contest marked by near fighting, 72-68. The Garnishmen found their winning combination mainly to the efforts of J:m Upper who tallied 34 points, high for both teams. Also in double figures were John Adams and Ron Blaessig with 15 points each. Pete Chamberlain dominated the backboards which proved a vital factor in the win. 162 HOBART 69 ST. LAWRENCE 56 Aided by Jim Upper and John Adams, each canning 20 points, the Statesmen trounced the visiting Larries from St. Lawrence, 69-56. The contest was marked by trading of baskets dur- ing the third quarter, but the Orange and Purple finally surged ahead to victory. Ron Blaessig, in addition to fine defensive work, canned 11 points to lead the Statesmen scorers. Clinton scores HOBART 66 HAMILTON 77 Meeting for the third time this season, the Statesmen travelled downstate to engage the Continentals of Hamilton only to come out on the losing end after two well-fought victories in a row, 77-66. Bright spot in the Hobart quintet was the sterling play of John Adams, who netted 26 points to lead all scorers. Jim Upper, who tossed in 16 points, was closely followed by Ron Blaessig who chipped in 1 3 points. HOBART 70 CLARKSON 64 Returning home, the Hobart five convincingly proceeded to whip Clarkson, 70-64, led by John Adams and Jim Upper who tallied 23 points each, and Tom Kotas who tossed in 10 points. Outstanding defensive work by Chris Christie and Ron Blaessig played an important part in the Statesmen's victory. Hobart has now won its last three out of four games. 163 HOBART 54 ALFRED 65 Invading Alfred, controlling the boards mainly by the hands of Warren Sutton, tacked a 65-54 loss on the Statesmen. Hobart, injury ridden by the loss of former Captain Bob Wetzel, also lost Chris Christie temporarily. Jim Upper threw in 22 points for the Statesmen, and Tom Kotas, senior forward of the quintet, poured in 1 5 points. A though the lead at the half was in the Statesmen's favor, Alfred roared back in the second half amassing six points in the opening minutes of the second half and not losing ground coming out on top. HOBART 64 HARTWICK 61 The Statesmen bounded back well against Hartwick, upsetting them 64-61 in a game which was decided in the last minute of the contest. Jim Upper tossed in 26 points and was followed by Ron Blaessig who threw in 16 points and Chris Christie who tossed in 10. HOBART 67 ROCHESTER 94 In an attempt to avenge their earlier defeat at the hands of arch-rival Rochester, the Statesmen were battered at the River Edge campus, 94-67. For Rochester, Bill Yantz and Bob Witner accounted for 43 points, while high in the Orange and Purple column was Jim Upper with 24 points closely followed by John Adams who canned 17. Hobart's final record for the 1958-59 season was 6-12.

SECOND: Stirling, Thornley, Klinger, Schmerler, Tierney, Demuth (Coach). For the first time in the 137 years of Hobart's existence, wrestling was advanced as a varsity sport. The team began its official season inauspiciously, participating in only five matches and losing all of them. The team, and its coach, were fairly green to the sport with many of the matmen having little or no experience. To their credit, the freshman-studded team decreased the margin of defeat with each match and fine spirit was displayed, not only by the squad, but also by the spectators. The team was also hurt by injuries to Burt Klinger, 167 lbs., Sandy Engel, 177 lbs., and Big Bill Hanwit, 157 lbs. 165 Botl fights a cross body ride. The first match was on February 18, with Alfred University who triumphed over the Statesmen by the overwhelming score of 36-0. No member of the Hobart squad won and only Tinsley, 147 lb. class, and Burt Klinger, 167 lb. class, were not pinned. 166 Klinger and Engel make weight under watchful eye of Coach Ray Demuth. Killer Hanwit goes for a pin. The following Saturday the Hobart grapplers were defeated by the J.V. visitors from Ithaca 33-5. Fred Hartman, in the 137 lb. class was the sole Hobart wrestler to win which he did by pinning his man. 167 Pressure on Heavy John Impress us with your prowess, John! Three days later on February 28, the Statesmen hosted the teachers from Oswego who thumped the home squad to the tune of 33-5. Again only one man scored for Hobart. 123 lb. Hank Schmerler pinned his opponent. The Statemen then journeyed to Rochester the following Wednesday to succumb to the Yel- lowjackets by a margin of 30 points. Pete Tinsley was the lone bright spot for Hobart when he decisioned his man. SENIORS 168 SANDER ENGEL BURTON KLINGER JOHN METCALF The season's finale saw the Statesmen receiving the University of Rochester for the sec- ond of a home and home series. In this match two Hobart matmen were triumphant, John Metcalf in the heavyweight division by a pin and Pete Tinsley, 147 lb. class by a decision. The score was 26-8, the best effort of the season for the Genevans. Congratulations must go to the iron men Jim Stirling in the 130 lb. class and heavy- weight John Metcalf who were the only ones to wrestle in every match. Special commen- dation must go to the real iron man, Coach Ray Demuth, who did an excellent job.

SECOND: Kenney, Briggs, Furman, Northrop, Klinger, Wood. THIRD: Bracken, Dahowski, Goold, Christie, Ashman, Campbell. The prospects at the beginning of Hobart's 56th, and Coach Francis L. Babe Kraus' 32nd, year of Lacrosse competition seemed dismal. In his 31 previous years of coaching the Statesmen, Babe has compiled an envious record of 133 wins, 86 losses and 5 ties, for an average of .594, all against the best Lacrosse competi- tion in the country. But the Babe has seldom had to face prospects as limited as those which greet him at the beginning of the 1 958 season. Only 51 lettermen were returning from the fair 1957 team as a number of outstanding prospects were lost to the team due to scholastic difficulties. With Harv Wiltsey, Captain, and Dave Angell at Attack, Harrie Bowie at Defense, and Don Dahowski and Ken Northrup at Midfield, the Babe had a nucleus. But after these five, the rest of his starting lineup would have to be composed principally of green, untested material with little or no game experience. Since Hobart constantly meets bigger schools with more material, it is necessary to have three good midfields and with the Statesmen's lack of manpower this presents quite a problem to the coach. A good goalie was also lacking at the beginning of the season, due to the graduation of Fred Appleton, who was more than adequate at the position. The candidates for this position were all inexperienced. 170 The Babe, though, has always faced this sort of problems at Hobart in previous years, but has managed to field a strong team at the season's end. Slow disappearance of the snow, though, hampered the start of outdoor practice until two weeks before the first game with a strong Syracuse team. This factor coupled with the absence of a Southern training trip for the team, cut chances for quick strengthening of the many weaknesses of the Stickmen as the season opened. The first game was on April 26 against a strong Syracuse University team who, even with the loss of star Jim Brown, were riding the crest of a winning streak extending from two seasons ago. The Krausmen were further hampered due to the loss of Don Dahowski to the Flu-bug. The final score was 16-1 in favor of Syracuse. Hobart only took 15 shots at Syracuse's All-American goalie Orem Lyons, who only had to make 5 saves. While the three Hobart goalies, Dick Schwartz, Bob Furman and Dick Kenny only made 12 saves. The lone Hobart goal was scored by John Bracken, unassisted, in the third period. Four days later, on Boswell field, the Statesmen met a weak Union Squad. The Babe made a few major switches, among them, the shifting o defenseman Chris Christie to attack. This worked out fine as Christie scored three goals, Don Dahowski also scored three but the hero of the day, by far, was Captain Harvey Wilt- sey who had 5 goals and 4 assists. The final score was Hobart 12, Union 3. The game was broken up in the third period when the Statesmen scored 6. Goalie Dick Schwartz was outstanding, as was the Union Goalie. For one of the few times this season Hobart had as many shots as their opponents, 40, while Union had 41. On May 2, spring weekend, Penn State made the long trek to Geneva to beat the Krausmen 8-2. The score was 2-2 at the half, but Hobart came apart in the second half, allowing Penn State to score 6 while we could not dent the nets. Right before this game, veteran defenseman, Harrie Bowie, was taken to the hospital with an appendicitis attack, and was lost to the team for the rest of the season. Christie re-injured a bad knee that was to plague him the rest of the season. Penn State took 48 shots to our 29. On May 7, Hobart made the long trip to Troy to engage Rensselaer Poly Institute for our first away game. After a six hour bus ride the Statesmen played on a field ankle deep in mud. The final score was 12-4, in favor of RPI. The two Hobart Goalies, Schwartz and Furman, had a total of 33 saves between them. RPI, one of the top ten teams in the country, completely outplayed the Statesmen, and only good goal-tending kept the score down On May 10, Hohart played what was described as their worst game of the year, against Colgate, at Hamilton, New York, The game marked Colgate's first win by a score of 14-6. Both Wiltsey and Dahowski scored two goals, but this individual effort was not enough as the goalies and defensemen looked like sieves and the offense just couldn't work together. Riding the crest of a 3 game losing streak, Hobart joourneyed to Cortland State Teacher's College on May 14. In a see-saw battle Hobart took the contest 9-7. A highlight of this game was the emergence of George Camp- bell and Dave Angell as scoring threats. Angell scoring 4 goals, and Campbell scored 2 and had 3 assists. For the first time this season Hobart outshot their opponents. We had 31 shots while Cortland had 27. For the fourth road game in a row, the Statesmen met Cornell, at Ithaca. This game marked one of the longest rivalries in United States Lacrosse. It was the 76th game since 1899 with the Big Red. Cornell was fresh from an upset of previously undefeated Syracuse. The four Cornell Midfields, plus the hot weather, were no match for the Stickmen as they lost 14-5. The score at the end of the first half was 10-2. A bright spot of this game was Harv Wiltsey's three goals. Five days later, at Boswell field, the Statesmen defeated Colgate 10-9. Colgate had never beaten a Hobart team before this, but they were confident of a victory, having previously beaten Colgate, and losing only one other game. Hobart came from behind to win this one. Dave Angell kept alive his hot streak by scoring 4 goals and Dahowski scored 3. Goalie Dick Schwartz also looked impressive in turning back the Red Raiders. SENIORS HARV WILTSEY, Captain, 1958 172 LEWIS ABAGNALE, JR. HOWARD CHRISTIE, JR. DAVID COLE DONALD DAHOWSKI EDMUND KENNY BURTON KLINGER JOHN METCALF ROBERT MILLER KENNETH NORTHROP LAWRENCE STONE ROBERT WERRLEIN ERIC WRIGHT The last game of the year would make or break the season for Hobart. The opponent was highly favored Oberlin, which was the top team in the midwest, losing only to the Cleveland Lacrosse club. The previous year they had beaten Hobart in a close, tough battle in overtime, and observers of the game noted that the game might have been different with good refereeing. This game marked the high point of the season as Hobart won 13-8. Sophomore Campbell had 8 assists and a goal while Wiltsey and Northrup had 4 and 3 goals respec- tively. At the end of the first half the score was 5-3 in favor of the home team. Then in the third quarter Oberlin scored 3 to our 2. For a while the contest was in doubt. But in the last quarter, in the space of two minutes, Campbell, Lisi, Wiltsey and Northrup all scored, in a flurry of some of the best Lacrosse ever seen on Boswell field, to wrap up the game. 173 Schwenk on offense The final record, then, was 4 wins and 5 losses, with 3 of the last 4 games resulting in wins, a tribute to the coaching of Babe Kraus. The graduating seniors were Schwartz, Angell, Wiltsey, Bowie and Lisi. The captain-elect for the 1959 season is midfielder Bob Werrlein. The prospects for the '59 season looked bright as there were 12 underclassmen awarded letters out of a total of 17.

SECOND ROW: Patton, Daly, Clinton, Yelas, Coleman, Hunter, Grass, Garnish. THIRD ROW: Harned, Grimshaw, McKenna, Weishaus. With a nucleus of eleven veterans returning from 1957's baseball team, Coach Lyle Spike Garnish began his seventh year, as Hobart's diamond mentor, on an optimistic note. The only starting position that re- mained open at the beginning of practice was second base, but there were a number of newcomers who showed promise at this position. With hard hitting Captain Eddie Miller in left field, and sluggers Al Watson and C. J. VerSteeg at catcher and third base respectively, the team did not seem to be lacking any hitting pow- er. While in the field, shortstop Bob Goldstein led what seemed to be one of the tightest infields seen on alumni field in quite a while. All this, plus the acquisition by Spike of the highly touted Geneva High star, John Acquilano, seemed to lead up to a successful season. Then the bubble burst, three out of four of the last sea- son's pitching staff were ineligible due to academic difficulty. The loss of these three, led by Bill Hayes, who was a sensation in his freshman year, was a great blow to the team, leaving as the only veteran pitcher, sophomore Jim Allison. On top of this, inclement weather, forced the team to work out in the gym until a week and a half before the first game. During this indoor practice, the pitchers made use of a stimulated mound that has been patented by Spike. This piece of apparatus was quite valuable, indeed, as the Geneva Redlegs, suffer- ing from the same weather problem, also moved into Smith Hall to utilize this mound. Then came word of the loss of '57's first baseman, Tom Watson, due to trouble in his studies. 175 Absorbing these setbacks, the Garnishmen took the field against Hamil- ton, at Clinton, on April 23, after being rained out the day before against Union. The starting lineup included 2 freshmen, Ted Curley at second, and Acquilano subbing for an injured Goldstein at short. Allison started the game. In the fifth inning Hobart was ahead by 2, but a walk and 3 errors allowed Hamilton to tie the game. Then in the eighth, the Continentals scorec what turned out to be the winning run. The final score was 5-4 in favor of Hamilton. In this game, Kerley was lost to the team for the major part of the season due to a knee injury suffered fielding a double play ball. DICK BENEDICT, Pitcher Three days later, the archrival University of Rochester nine journeyed to Geneva, where they defeated Hobart 4-3. Freshman Dave Benedict made his mound debut in this game and pitched all 1 1 innings, striking out 7. But before Benedict settled down, he worked 3 in the first, which when coupled with an error gave the UR 2 runs. Rochester scored 2 more runs as the Statesman scored 4. The score, going into the top of the eleventh was 4-4. Then the visiting nine scored one. Ed Miller led off Hobart's half of this inning with a booming double off the centerfield fence. He advanced to third on firstsacker Chuck Hadley's pop-up. Then Don Weber, pinch- hitting for Goldstein walked and up stepped Stew Patton. Patton, who was substituting for Kerley, was Ho- bart's batting hero for the day, as he had 2 hits for 3 times at bat up to this moment. He took two strikes, then smashed a rising line drive towards centerfield. Hobart fans thought this was the game, and it was, but not as they expected, the Rochester second baseman went high up into the air to snare it, thfen he doubled up Weber to end the game. SENIORS ROBERT GOLDSTEIN FREDERICK GRIMSHAW DAVID HARRINGTON DUNCAN PATTON Captain, 1959 176 On April 30, the Statesmen traveled to Troy to meet RPI. They lost 11-2, using three pitchers in the effort. Starting pitcher Nichols was yanked after walking 4 in a row in the fifth. The only bright spot was Ed Miller's two singles. The 3 Hobart pitchers gave up 7 walks, two corning wilh the bases loaded. In the fourth game of the season, at Geneva, Benedict sparkled, striking out 9 Syracuse batsmen. But this effort wasn't enough as Hobart lost 4-1. The only Statesmen run was scored when Don Weber came home on a wild pitch, after tripling. Hobert was winning 1-0, until the sixth when Syracuse put together 3 runs on a single, 2 errors, a hit batter and a wild pitch. It was during this game that Stew Patton, who, after taking over for Kerley was batting at a pace of over .300, broke his finger. Due to the fact that the game with Le Moyne was rained out, Spike had a full week to try to remedy the poor hitting and fielding that Hobart was displaying. agj SLUGGER HADLEY At the end of this week, the Garnishmen broke their 4 game losing streak by beating Clarkson 1-0 for the first win of the season. This game was the first of a two game road trip to the north country. Benedict pitched to the first shutout displayed by a Hobart pitcher in three years. The freshman sensation also won the game for himself by scoring Hobart's only run. After getting on base on an infield bobble of his grounder, he was driven home by two consecutive singles. No Cla'kson base runner got past second. The next day the Statesmen ended the road trip by losing to St. Lawrence 6-5. Hobart scored 2 runs in the first on four Larrie errors. But in the bottom of this inning, pitcher Jim Allison walked 3 and hit a batter, which, when combined wih two fielder's choices gave St. Lawrence 3 runs. In the second inning, the hosts scored another on a walk, steal and passed ball. Acquilano came on in the third and let in two runs after that, one of which was a home run on the part of Joe Van De Water, St. Lawrence left-fielder, in the seventh, which was the tie breaker. Al Watson broke a batting slump by going 4 for 5, which included a tripie. Four days later the Statesmen journeyed to Rochester to exact revenge for a previous defeat. Benedict was the starting pitcher for Hobart. The final score was 16-12 in favor of Hobart. The Statesmen broke out of their hitting slump by cornering 18 safeties while Rochester got the same amount. Miller, VerSteeg, Watson and Acquilano each got 3 hits. VerSteeg and Watson each got 2 triples, with the former getting 4 RBI's. Benedict, while striking out 6, also got two hits for 4 times at bat. Acquilano got his first hit of the season in this game. On May 16, the Continentals of Hamilton met Hobart at Geneva, for the second time of the season and the 63rd time since 1880, Hobart's oldest rivalry. Hobart gained a season split with Hamilton by winning 11-9. The Statesmen had to come from behind and scored in every inning but the 4th and the 7th. Freshman Joe Yelas started the game but was relieved in the second by Allison, after giving up 7 runs, 6 coming in the second. Allison went the rest of the way until the 9th, when Acquilano relieved him. Both VerSteeg and Phil LaRocca hit home runs. Watson and LaRocca both had 3 hits, and Watson got his 10th hit in 3 games. YOGI WATSON 177 The next day the Statesmen made the trip to Buffalo to take on the representatives of Canisius College on the diamond. Benedict was the starting pitcher, but was knocked out in the fourth after allowing 8 runners to cross the plate. Acquilano then came in and finished strong- ly, giving up only a run in the 6th and one in the 7th. Ed Miller hit one out of the ball park in the first for Hobart's first run. In the third an off-the-wall double by Goldstein was followed by a single by Miller to score Goldstein. These 2 runs served to keep the game close at 3-2 until the 4th when Canisius scored 5. The final score was 10-2. The loss of this game ruined Hobart's chances to finish the season with a better than .500 record, with only 2 games remaining to be played and the record 3 wins and 6 defeats. On May 20, Hobart lost to the usually strong Ithaca team 5-0 at Geneva. Graham, the Ithaca hurler, only allowed one hit, and that was a Texas League blooper by LaRocca. Benedict, who went all the way for Hobart, only allowed the powerful Ithaca batsmen 6 hits, but two of these were good for home runs, each with a man on base. The season was ended three days later at Colgate, as it began, on a dismal note. Hobart lost 3-2. Acquilano pitched a beautiful game, blanking the Red Raiders for four innings and then giving up a run on a triple and a fielder's choice. In the 8th, Colgate scored 2 more on two errors and a triple. Only one of the 3 runs was earned. Hobart scored their 2 runs in the top of the ninth on 2 hits and 2 errors. With a man on base, the last batter hit into a double play, thus ending the rally, the game and the season for Hobart. As the '58 season ended though, fans were already looking forward with enthusiasm to the next year. The graduating seniors, Watson, Hadley, VerSteeg, Miller and Weber left a gap in the team but the bright showings of freshmen Benedict, Acquilano, and Kerley, before his injury, left room for optimism for the com- ing season. Acquilano played every position but catcher and left field, batting impressively at the end of the season. Also returning veterans LaRocca, Patton, Allison and Goldstein would be back. Shortstop Goldstein, who, as Spike relates, is one of the finest fielders ever to be seen at Hobart, was elected Captain for the 1959 season.

Victories included wins over Canisius, 9-0, after an opening day loss to the Saxons of Alfred, 5-4, and Clarkson, 9-0, after a Spring Weekend loss to the Continentals of Hamilton, 7-2. Other losses were at the hands of St. Lawrence, 6-3, and Rochester, 6-3. Matches against Harpur and Ithaca were called because of inclement weather mak- ing it impossible to re-schedule at a future time. Dick Narins, junior from Buffalo, captained the team and played in the number one position, with Charlie Dunn, also a junior and captain-elect for 1959, playing in the number two slot. Following these in the position they held in the matches for the year were Bill Walley, Brian O'Bannion, Paul Brody—Bob Thatcher and Jack Cross interchanging in the sixth slot. First doubles were composed of Dick Narins and Brian O'Bannion, second doubles by Walley and Dunn, and third doubles alternating be- tween Steve Arum, Bo Holden, and Al Baumann. 179 Holden smashes a fine serve The Statesmen journeyed to Alfred for their initial encounter of the season where they' were handed a 5-4 defeat at the hands of the Saxons. The match wasn't decided until the last set, Arum and Baumann tasting de- feat in three sets. Canisius gave the Statesmen no trouble as they lost 9-0 at our courts not being able to salvage a single set and giving Hobart its first victory of the season. However, the Continentals from Hamilton, the Statesmen's toughest opponent of the year, handed the racketmen a 7-2 loss before a Spring Weekend crowd at our courts. Bill Walley salvaged the only singles match of the afternoon winning in three sets; Arum and Cross winning the only other match for Hobart in doubles taking three sets to become victorious. After matches were called off against Harpur and Ithaca because of inclement weather, the Statesmen evened up their record with a win over Clarkson, 9-0, losing only two sets throughout the match. St. Lawrence handed the Statesmen their third loss of the season in a close match, 6-3, Chuck Dunn and Brian O'Bannion winning the only singles matches, Walley and Dunn taking the only win for Hobart in the doubles division. The last match of the season was played against arch-rival, Rochester, at our courts. The Rivermen, in retaliation for last year's defeat at the hands of the Statesmen thus spoiling their chance for a perfect record, overcame the Orange and Purple with a 6-3 vic- tory, Walley and Brody taking singles matches and Narins and O'Bannion taking the only doubles match for the home side.

Captaining the team was sophomore Les York. He, Dick Fowler, and Bruce Clinton were the only returning letter- men on the squad which included Steve Kahan, Dick Block, Cliff Orr, and John Bobak. After an opening day defeat by Alfred in a close match, 5-4, the Statesmen went on to romp visiting Canisius, 9-0. Harpur, St. Lawrence, and Hamilton, the next foes for the Orange and Purple, went on to hand Hobart three straight defeats before the Statesmen went on to hand Ithaca Col- les york. Captain lege a 4.2 defeat. Clarkson College, the Statesmen's only tie of the season, knotted up the match at 4 one-half points a piece. In the final match of the year against arch-rival Rochester, the Statesmen came out on the losing end, 5-4. With a little more depth to provide the punch for the nucleus of Les York, re-elected captain for the 1959 season, Dick Fowler, and Bruce Clinton, the Statesmen should have a good year to look forward to and also an improvement in their record. FENCING — 1959 The Hobart Fencing Team this year finished fifth in the North Atlantic Fenc- ing Championships. The foil team of Osh- rin and Shulster finished second, one point behind the winning R.l.T. squad. The team has worked hard this year and all are optimistic for next year. Alan Osh- rin has been chosen captain of next year's team with Wayne Atwell and Bob Salesi as co-captains. 181 Captain Oshrin and Walt Gage prepare WEARERS OF THE ”H” Football Abagnale, L. R.

I would consider a letter from an editor completely worthless if he did not pay homage to those who have guaranteed the fulfillment of a project of this kind. But this letter has particular significance to its author, significance in that the ECHO belongs to a group effort far more than it does to the figurehead of the group. Let me add a word of explanation. No one can step into a job, and expect to master it without some previous experience. Certainly the members of the 1959 ECHO staff had their share of experience in compiling a yearbook before the present edition. There is little doubt that as a result of working on this year's book, the same people learned from their associations with themselves, and with other groups. All this leads up to what I consider the most important element in this year's staff. With what was regarded as an unfor- tunate event, the present ECHO began to develop. Few of the many hurdles were anticipated by me, but were brought to my attention by the people who make a book of this nature a success. One has only to weigh the capabilities of each editor and his team to realize the wealth of invaluable assistance that was offered, and most gratefully received. A project of this order is more than a job or a task, it is a dedication to and a sacrifice for the Class and College as a whole, and with this in their efforts, each participant in the activities of this year's ECHO was indeed an inspiration to me. For this am I indebted to the many who immortalize our class. To William Keplinger, Assistant and Literary Editor, I wish to express particular appreciation for his inex- haustibility and sense of determination for which he more than deserves praise. To Mr. Carl Tandoi, and the photographers of Varden Studios in Rochester, my sincerest appreciation for the fine photography that was done by your staff, and in particular, for the excellent color photographs. To Mr. Clifford Orr, the Alumni House Staff, and The Herald, may I express thanks for the use of the pho- tographs and additional data used in our book. To the Taylor Publishing Company, in Dallas, Texas, I wish to extend our appreciation for the suggestions and printing of the ECHO. In particular, I would like to thank Mr. Lou Dworshak for his very cooperative aid and interest in the 1959 ECHO. Without his help, our work would have been many times increased. Our gratitude to him. I should again say that I am beholden to the entire staff for their cooperation and contribution.
