It is to the extension of these aca- demic and cultural horizons that this book is faithfully dedi- cated. The construction of new buildings, the acquisition of many competent instructors, the addition of recreational and educa- tional facilities, have lasting value as investments for the future only if they are supported by an alert, adult student body. We have progressed visibly in attaining these precious securities at a rate commensurate with our physical advance. The aerial photographs of future decades may be partly fore- seen. Eventually, the limits of building will have been reached and one pilot's-eye view will closely resemble any other. But the changes will continue in the library, in the classroom, and in the minds of the students. These changes must reflect the un- ceasing aspiration, by all who come to Hofstra, toward greater wisdom, and its natural consequence, a peaceful world.

The Class oi 1947 'N the fall ol 1943 there came into existence - on the Hofstra Campus a new group of young men and women who called themselves tae Class of 1947.

This class, the largest on the campus, has an enrollment figure well over 500 students. Its ranks are further increased by the large number of G. I. veterans-some 475 of them-enrolled in the extension units. Because of the presence of these many indus- trious ex-G. I.'s, the members of this class have a wide variety of backgrounds-some came di- rectly from the high schools, others, released from all types of ranks, private to majors, came from all branches of the armed forces-and aims. The Frosh quickly recovered from the en- thusiastic greeting Which Was promptly given to them by the Sophs and fitted themselves into campus life. There was no Freshman rule this year and both Frosh men and Women were to be found on 'all of the athletic teams-Walt Peterson and Tommy Pierce stood out on the gridiron. The Extension unit also had its teams. joe Percival, Dick Wynn, and Joy Schulholf were on the staffs of the Chronicle and the Word. Green Wig performers were Bill Hussey, Norbert Droesch, and Henry Horwege. The members of the Freshman class are look- ing forward to three more pleasant and busy years of service and fun at Hofstra.

Student Council PCN the 1946-47 Student Council fell the enormous task of reorganizing the student gov- erning body so that it might effi- ciently regulate the activities of the largest student body in Hofstrals history. The main steps toward this end were the revision of the Coun- cil's constitution and the enlarge- fnent of future student councils to ten members. In September a student assembly committee was appointed which presented several enjoyable student- faculty programs and the annual Christmas party. The Council regulated the elec- tions of the class officers, distributed student activities fund, elected l7 seniors to the national collegiate Who's Wl1o, and admitted several new clubs, activities, and fraterni- ties into the college extra-curricular life. The year's activities will be brought to a close with the annual Spring Day affair. This will be a gala affair, complete with the i'Hoat paradef, the crowning of the Spring Queen, the awarding of prizes, and the Spring Day formal dance. This year's Student Council was headed by President Bill Rhodes. Vice-President Bob Boyce, and Sec- retary Aphrodite Stevens. The other members were Irene Orlowski. Ted Bejsovec, jack Clarke, and Joe Stra- cuzzi. Joe MacDonald represented the extension unit. Honor Council HE Honor Syste1n represents one of Hofstra's cherished tradi- tions, for it places upon the under- graduates one of their most pre- cious privileges. It is enforced by the Honor Council composed of a panel of five students and two fac- ulty members, as Well as a faculty adviser to the group. The students are selected by the faculty and voted upon by the student body for one year of activity. The function of the Council is to supervise the administration of the Honor System at Hofstra and to acquaint the freshmen with the Honor System as it operates on campus. In case of violations of the Honor Code, the Council acts as a court, hearing the individual case in se- crecy, recommending to the admin- istration due punishment, and then announcing the final decision to the student body, withholding, how- ever, the name of the violator. Members of the Council for the year 1946-7 were: June Brunjes and Alice Hero, Seniors 3 Margaret Vagts and Robert Ostling, Juniors, YV il- liam Oberkrieser, Sophomoreg Dr. Darlington and Dr. Ollmann. Miss Vagts presided as President of the Council and Miss Brunjes, as Secre- tary. Adviser to the group, Mr. lfVatts. Front-P. Vagts, Brunjes, A. Hero. Rear-Mr. Mfatts, YV. Ober- krieser, R.

The Nexus goes into its second decade of publication with the 1947 edition. In 1936 the first Nexus was published-a soft covered, forty page booklet. During these relatively few years it has progressed to a well-bound, well-balanced book, representative of campus life. November 1946 found Editor-16-.Chief Felix Strauss with the overwhelming task of organ- izing a staff and preparing a yearbook to be ready for distribution before graduation. With no one from former Nexus staffs to turn to, Felix took on the most tedious job that could face an editor.

Lois Martell, Assistant Editor, was in charge of Club write- ups. Her previous experience in yearbook edit- ing was of great value to the Nexus. She helped nntiringly in matters of layout, organization and administration, besides taking care of her assigned job. Ginny Thomass took over the heavy duties of Literary Editor. Kay Boyce did the Senior write-ups. Jack Clarke wrote the Fra- ternal organizations, Alice Hero, the Sororities. The important Sports section was under the guidance of Sports Editor John Gilesg Peggy Vagts and Claire Moritz collaborated on Girls' Sports. MR. GILBERT M. VVEEKS AND The business staff was under the very able leadership of Business Manager Bill Kaiser. The financial success of the l947 Nexus may well be attributed to Bill's capable planning. Along with him worked Jerry Glass, Tom Dempsey, Jim Quigley, Pete Eagone, and Ed. James. The duties of the Photography Section were wide-spread, varying from drawing up schedules and identifying prints to the actual photograph- ing. The staff included Jonas Zucker, Marty Gick, Jane deVeer, Tom Trowbridge, and Bob Seay. Bob Ostling served in the capacity of Art Adviser. Mr. Gilbert Weeks assisted the staff time after time in his role as Faculty Advisor. In recognition of the staff's sincere and steady contributions to Hofstra, plans were initiated this year to award a limited number of keys. NTEMBERS or THE Nexus STAFF The Chronicle N its second year of post war publication, the Hofstra Chronicle has grown from a bi- weekly four page paper into a six and occasion- ally eight page blue ribbon edition which ap- pears regularly on campus each Friday morning. The staff, headed by its able editor Burt Wohl, doubled itself in numbers and included such new feature columns as bright, humorous features and the thought-provoking editorials. Managing Editor Jerrold Lewis, Sports Editor John Giles, Advertising Manager Bill Mills, and many others, all helped in the production of Hofstra's most successful student publication in many years. Also, persons not directly connected with the paper contributed stimulating letters which aided greatly in the formation of the Chronicle's editorial beliefs. Headlines and vividly-clear pictures heralded the more important events of the college year. Vivian Della Chiesa and Martha Graham, BURTON WoHL Editor guests to Hofstra from the entertainment world, received wide spreads and appropriate pictures which emphasized the college's appreciation of the celebrities' talents.

The primary purpose of the magazine is to put into a more permanent form the best literary and artistic work done by the students of Hofstra. The secondary purposes of the magazine are: to provide a practical me- dium for those students interested in advertis- ing and to provide a school activity that will prove a fruitful outlet for those students inter- ested in any of the technical problems with which the publication of a magazine is con- cerned. THE YVORD is a quarterly magazine. How- ever, during the war years, due to all-around shortages, publication of the magazine was sus- pended. During the Spring semester, 1946, a group of students formed a new editorial staff and under the guidance of Dr. John B. Haney published the first post-war issue which proved a firm foundation for THE YVORD's 1'6UU'11 K0 the campus. Now, after two years of interruption.

Those best fitted for the various jobs formed an executive committee, and Mr. Scott, a new addition to Hofstra's English Department, be- came the organizations faculty adviser. The committee consisted of the following: Producer - Jack Feinblumg Director - Bill Rappaportg Manager-Morty Crowmang Tech- nical Director-Sy Y uterg Secretarial Director- Lila Blam, Financial Director-Ben Blau. The Kaleidoscopians proposed to accom- plish the following projects: a series of two one- half hour broadcasts once a week of which one would be a variety show and the other a dra- matic production, and a fifteen minute educa- tional program to be put on once a week by the various departments and clubs on campus. These programs would be broadcast from Se- wahnaka High School's FM. station and pos- sibly from other near-by stations. Plans are also under way for a full scale musical comedy, writ- ten, directed, and cast by students at Hofstra College. Free dances were held every other Fri- day in the Little Theatre with a band and en- tertainment for the students' enjoyment. First Row-Mr. Scott, B. Stewart, A. Sager, L. Blam, N. Grant, D.

Since its return to the campus in the spring of 1946, it has successfully presented a number of productions, including Ladies in Retirement, Blithe Spirit, Am- phytron '3S, and Camille, typifying the wide scope of dramatic ability present in the student body. X In addition to their major productions, the group presented an evening of eXperimentals - Green Wig Christmas Packages - one act plays cast, directed and acted by students, as well as a series of lectures on the various plays which were produced during the season. A sizeable publicity campaign was under- taken at the start of the fall semester and was carried out through the year by many varied and unique advertisements on the Quad and other parts of the campus, numerous posters throughout all the classroom buildings and Hof- stra Hall, and through the Chronicle. The officers for the year 1946-47 were: President - Nancy Shaw, Vice-president - Judith Nussbaum, Secretary-Aphrodite Stev- ens, Treasurer-Ada Booth. In connection with its many successes the Green Wig entered into the swing of Hofstra's social life and equalized the many hours of drudgery and hard work in preparation for its productions with a number of parties, which met with great approval. ff fi ' 'fffw 1 . 04 lv 4 1 , ,, ff 'wwMWfi' f ,,,- 'G ' . ,.,,v 1 7 1 First Row-Mr. Arberg, Crystal, M.

In the spring the band presented a concert in conjunction with the Glee Club. Ray Sobel, who plays the clarinet and saxophone, acted as student leader. One of the band's primary aims this year was to build up a greater supply of instruments and music. Participat- ing in the band group, for the first time, became a curricular subject instead of an extra-curricular activity this year. Another undertaking of the band for the year 1946-47 was giv- ing a radio program over local station WGBB, performing with special arrangements such band favorites as the Hofstra Alma Mater, selections from Handelis Messiah, Gounod's Sol- dier's Chorus, a new arrangement of the Hofstra Fight Song, Written by Mr. H. William Kufe, and the Light Cavalry Overture by von Suppe. 81 I O afernal or an afion W ffm!-r,,.,.

Founded in October, 1946, and chartered in February, 1947, it has doubled its size during the year. The fraternity numbers eighteen men. The members of the Executive Committee include Richard F. Wynn, presi- dent, Stanley Brier, vice-president, James Bene- dict, treasurer, Mark Essner, secretary, and Jo- seph Gordon, sergeant-at-arms. A very active social schedule, including two trips to Philadelphia as guests of Phi Alpha Fraternity, a parent-son banquet at the Hotel Park Central in New York, a pleasure jaunt to William and Mary during March and to George Washington University in April, again as guests of Phi Alpha Fraternity, and many Friday and Saturday night parties in the homes of the mem- bers, have kept the fraternity busy throughout the year. The fraternity held its rush smoker at the Garden City Hotel. Many prominent guests were present to offer their views and experiences with college fraternities. A rush party was held for prospective pledgees shortly after, at which all present had a very delightful and enlighten- ing time. ' Although the spirit and Barkis were willing, the flesh was weak-so the fraternity was not an active participant in many of the intra-mural sports events. However, Alpha Iota could al- ways number a goodly percentage of members engaging in the perennial pinochle or bridge games in the new student lounge. As active and ambitious as Alpha Iota has been this year, entering into as many ventures as was possible, next year promises to hold even greater prospects and promises for a fuller and more complete fraternal society. Delta E silon Beta P ELTA Epsilon Beta is a new organization that was formed to vivify the precepts and practices of a true Democratic group and to promote the true brotherhood and harmony of such a group.

Of particular interest to all organizations is the Council's movement for a silver service that will be at the disposal of all campus organiza- tions for social functions. This year a Bridge Party was held in November, the proceeds of which have been set aside for the purchase of the set. In the spring, as usual, the Council busietl it- self with the supervision of Rushing, Activi- ties included: a Tea for all eligible Co-eds, the establishment of Pledge rules for rushingg and the determination of the Pledge period. The group is governed by a rotating chair- man. The three rotating chairmen for l946-47 were: Poppy Kassaris, Alpha Theta Betag Jean Anderson, Kappa Omicrong and Joan Lerch, Wreatli and Foil.

On December lil following the Iona Basket Ball game, the sorority held its annual dance, the Snowball. Bethpage Country Club was deco- rated with a snowman, and snowballs for the affair.

Camera Club HE Camera Club has been organized for the purpose of maintaining interest among fel- low camera fans on the campus and to coop- erate with other organizations on the campus by supplying them with their pictorial needs. In time, after the establishment of a permanently well-equipped dark room, the Camera Club an- ticipates being the sole source of publicity and publication photographs for the school. The photo group caters to the inexperienced box camera enthusiast as well as the advanced ama- teur photographer. The semi-annual picture salon is the big mo- ment in the club's activities. The exhibition for the fall semester, which took place on the West ll lO 2 Porch of Hofstra Hall, included many shots taken by members in Europe during the occu- pation. In order to facilitate convenient meeting times, the Camera Club originated the system of dual meetings. Co-Presidents were therefore elected to aid in the smooth operation of these meetings following in consecutive hours on the same day. Richard Beuhrer and Jonas Zucker were elected to fill these positions. Norman Tengstrom was elected Vice-President: Dalton Levy, Secretary: and joseph Contcliawk. Treas- urer. Mr. Dyson, an ardent calilcra fan hiinscll. is the faculty adviser. Chemistry Club l'l'H the enormous increase in the stu- wvtleiit body and the consequent increase in Chemistry and Science majors and pre-medical students, the Hofstra Chapter of Student Aflili- ates of the .-Xmerican Chemical Society, together with the College Chemistry Club, had the larg- est membership it has ever been able to attain since its inception in 1941. The ofhcers elected for the current school year were Robert Noyes, President, Kenneth Johnson, Secretary, Jeanne LaVine, Treasurer, and Edna Swenson, His- torian. Dr. George Lutz was club adviser. The difficult question of finding a suitable meeting time was overcome and the Society suc- ceeded in finding some very fine speakers for its regular monthly meetings. An endeavor was made this year to get speakers who would talk some real chemistry, with equations, reactions, and all, instead of the usual publicity-men sent out by many firms. The club attempted to incorporate the chem- istry students at the Hempstead extension into its membership. The year's activities were topped by the traditional Christmas party and the spring banquet held in conjunction with Beta Beta Beta, honorary biological fraternity. The difference between the Student Aflili- ates of the American Chemical Society and the College Chemistry Club is that to be a Student Afliliate one must be a second year chemistry student with at least a B average: all other chem- istry students may join the College Chemistry Club.

P' t amiiyg 5 Mm, 'alll I fv' Advertising Agency N December 17, 1946 eighteen students held an organizational meeting and formed the Hofstra Advertising Agency modeled after larger business agencies. Its purpose was to stimulate interest in advertising and to acquaint those interested with the practical side of the business in order that they might be better equipped after graduation. Because of the shortage of space, it established its headquarters in the basement of Hofstra Hall and immediately started on a campaign for the Seawana Sorority dance. Although the Christmas vacation began four days later, suffi- cient groundwork had been laid to give the Art Department a start. Much credit goes to these conscientious artists who used their own time during the holidays to prepare a number of ex- ceptionally striking posters. fi The advertising hit the eyes of the campus on January 6th, the first day of classes. An inten- sive campaign was carried out throughout the Debatin EJUVENATED after an absence of almost four years, the new Debating Society started the year 1946-47 with the purpose of continu- ing the good work of its predecessors in carrying out all of its former duties and functions. The Society studies forms and methods of de- bate from the informal open style to the more rigid Oregon method. It is very fitting that the faculty adviser of the organization is a pro- fessor of philosophy. Dr. MacKay takes an active part in the club and aids its members in learn- ing the technique of recognizing faulty argu- ments and in preparing convincing rebuttals, which is the most diflicult part of a fine debate The club not only has debates among the S 104 following two weeks, demonstrating the use of varied media including a large streamer hung in the gym, a unique electric sign placed in the new Student Lounge, a display hung from the ceiling of the cafeteria, and prominent posters strategically placed on bulletin boards. A mer- chandising stunt was promoted which consisted of the wearing of colored pins by those who had bought tickets. The dance was a success, inspir- ing the members of the Agency to continue their efforts. ' Membership at the end of its first term has increased to thirty, and the various departments are becoming more coordinated. A New York Advertising agency, one of the largest in the world, has taken personal interest in the campus advertising and is offering help in many ways. It is the hope of the organization that better advertising will raise the level of eXtra-curricu- lar activities, thereby creating a finer school spirit. Society members, but it also hopes to hold open discus- sions in neighboring high schools in the very near future. And as soon as possible the society plans to make arrangements to enter the inter- collegiate debating arena. The most serious concern this year was given to a topic chosen by the colleges all over the country as heading the list of importance. That is Should labor be given a part in business management? The ofhcers of the Debating Society were: President -----------.... ................... ................, H a rry Zuckerberg ViCe'PTCSidC1lI ..... ................

The membership was expanded and committees were organized for all phases of the club's activi- ties. As social functions, the group attended a French movie, opera, and dined at various French restaurants. To further the club's cul- tural purposes Dr. Henri Brugrnans, the ad- viser, illustrated lectures on France and French art with slides. The club visited a session of the United Nations where speeches were heard in French. Speakers addressed the club on various topicsg among the most interesting were reports given by members who had experiences in France during the war. In the spring the traditional entertainment was held for the benefit of a French orphan whom the club is supporting through an agency in New York City. Through the Kaleidoscopians the club presented a fifteen-minute radio pro- gram over the local station, YVCBB. To re-emphasize the purpose of the club, which is to interest the students of French in the culture of France beyond their academic studies, a conversation group was formed. Dr. Brugmans directed the conversation on diverse topics. The French Club pursued a broad and varied program to augment the activities of the Col- lege as a whole.

Future Teachers of America N 1941 aspiring teachers at Hofstra banded together to form the Truesdel Peck Calkins chapter of the National Future Teachers of America, the third such chapter in New York State. Other than the year 1943-44, when it dis- banded for one year because of the war, it has been continuously active since that time. The organization's program covers two phases: professional and social. Meetings were held at least once a month this year, alternating these two aspects. The purpose of the F.T.A. is to unify and ex- tend both the social and professional aspects of the lives of all future teachers on the campus. Each year members vote to emphasize one pro- fessional interest during the entire season. For 1946-47 the members decided upon becoming one of the discussion groups connected with The American Association affiliated with the United Nations. Each member in turn was to receive training from the A.A.U.N. in order that he would be qualified to lead discussion groups after graduation. Those students who show exceptional ability and receive high grades are eligible for member- ship in the Student Teachers Club, a group of Hofstra alumni who have kept in contact with the college. Entrance into this organization may only be gained when the prospective member is unanimously elected by the alumni members. Paul Potter was the presiding officer for the yearg Miss Florence Procelli, a Hofstra alumna and now Dr. Scl1nyder's secretary, acted as sec- retary-treasurerg Dr. Dorothy Sclinyder is the faculty adviser. German Club HE German Club was organized this year ' with the purpose of providing pleasurable evenings of both a social and academic nature. To this end programs planned in advance con- tributed largely to the enjoyment of the meet- ings. Members gave short reports on different phases of German culture. The field of litera- ture was represented by a biography of G. Les- sing and the reading of some short stories in German. Another facet reiiected at meetings was the local customs of the German people. Having in their midst a native of Germany, the mem- bers were treated to a short talk on the celebra- tion of the Fastnachtsfest, a carnival having a religious background. The group also attended a German opera and dined at a German res- taurant. For the first time since the war they also saw a German movie. An indispensable part of every meeting was the singing of traditional German songs. The group soon had selected favorites and these were repeated at each meeting with even greater suc- cess and enjoyment. This short condensation of the German Glub's activities during the year 1946-47 re- flects the very satisfying evenings spent by the members. Front- . Crystal, R. Grabusch, S. Lehnberger, E.

Their meetings were graced with such able speakers as Rabbi Halpern, who discussed the very timely topic of Zionism, and Maideh Mazda. Members participated in several panel discussions, one of which dealt with the current topic of f'Ameri- can Foreign Policyf' During the fall semester, Hofstra was repre- sented at the Middle Atlantic Conference, held at Vassar College, by Carol and Stanley Borge. The club was also invited to the Herald Trib- y lO8 une Forum at the VValdorf-Astoria, 'William Mills and Paul Potter attended for Hofstra. In the spring semester Hofstra again played host to the Metropolitan Conference of Inter- national Relations Clubs. This was attended by delegates from most of the colleges in this sec- tion of the country.

It was named after Mrs. Kate Mason Hofstra, wife of the founder of the college. The purpose of Kate Mason is to give some organization to women's activities on the campus. It sponsors several so- cial events through the year. The first function of the Kate Mason Society each year is the Big Sister-Little Sister Teaf, The purpose of this is to help the Freshman girls to feel at home on the campus and to per- mit the newcomers to become acquainted with the upper classmen. The tea was held on Octo- ber 28 this year, it was the largest in the organi- zation's history. The traditional fashion show was presented g from the participants in this were selected four girls to represent Hofstra on Abraham and Strauss's Fashion Board: Poppy Kassaris, Arlene Olson, Irene Orlowski, and Dorothea Snycer. Another function on the program of Kate Mason was decorating the Christmas tree in Hofstra Hall. Spring Day represents the major event for the Kate Mason Society. It has charge of the nominations for the Queen and her attendants and supervises the balloting for her election. The members also select the Daisy Chain. They arrange for the crown for the Queen and deco- rate the float upon which the coronation takes place. The President of Kate Mason crowns the Spring Day Queen.

The Newman Club HE Newman Club has successfully been im- planted in the scope of Hofstra's eXtra-cur- ricular activities from the very beginning of the college. Because of this fact, it was one of the first to become affiliated with a national organi- zation-in this case, the Newman Foundation of Catholic Clubs. Its aim has been to preserve and develop the faith of Catholics attending non-sectarian col- leges, accomplishing this by regular religious lectures and discussions. In the spring the New- man Club participated in the annual commun- ion breakfast of the New York Province. In May the club held a very successful communion breakfast at which time the newly-elected ofli- cers were installed. Social life, too, was conscientiously planned and carried out through the year. Monthly so- cial meetings were held in the recreation room of St. Thomas the Apostle Church. In Novem- ber the organization presented an authentic old- fashioned silent movie and vaudevilleg this es- tablishes a tradition of two years' running.

In addition to its work at various institutions the club also sponsored several lectures by out- standing psychologists which were open to all those interested in any field of psychology. Sev- eral research projects were undertaken by indi- vidual members who reported their findings to the club at their meetings. Members also be- came interested in the vast problems of psycho- logical testing and classifications and much ex- tra knowledge on that subject.

Plans for the con- struction of an amateur radio station, capable of communication with all parts of the World, were completed. Further plans for the construction of a modern frequency modulated broadcast sta- H2 tion on the campus were also completed fllld this aim of the Radio Club. One of the more evident project will remain as the most important and most appreciated contributions of the club was the rebuilding of the college Cl1i1HCS 5351 tem which was in disrcpair for a number of years.

Spanish Club N order to promote knowledge of the Spanish language, its background and native culture, the Spanish Club was formed on the Hofstra Campus. Meetings were held twice a month dur- ing 1946-4'7g special programs consisted of Span- ish music, the singing of Spanish songs by the members, movies and slides on various subjects and locales, and the always-enjoyed refresh- ments. On November l6 the club attended the His- panic Museum and the Belmont Theatre and had dinner at Forno's. In February the group sponsored a very successful dance after the C.C.N.Y. basketball game-the Fiesta The Spanish Club presents awards of medals at the end of the Spring semester to those stu- dents who have been judged to have made most progress in first and second year Spanish.

The members of the club have banded to- gether for the express purpose of raising funds that can be used to establish a local residence for varsity men and provide them with a train- ing table diet which will aid the coaching staff in their conditioning program. As a first venture, the club sponsored an All- American Jazz Concert featuring the outstand- ing jazz musicians in the country early in Janu- ary and hopes to repeat them at regular inter- vals. This proved to be one of the most success- ful campus events of the season.

Spring season lfgiclllll' -Mllilsm Cheerleaders INCE September found Hofstra resuming football for the first time since the war, it was decided a large cheering squad should be chosen to support the team. There were three girls, Claire Moritz, Eleanor Scheiner, and Virginia Mangan, re- maining from last year's cheering squad who were, thus, in line to take up the job of re- organizing the squad at the beginning of the year. It was decided that there would be a team of ten, making it necessary to have tryouts for the choice of the seven new members. There were notices posted on all the bulletin boards in the college to draw attention of all those boys and girls interested in representing their school in this manner. A group consisting of about twenty-five girls came forth to compete for the positions open to new contestants. Although there was a strong desire to have at least two men on the squad, no male students were represented. The selec- tion of new members was a difficult task, for all of the contestants were talented to an almost indistinguishable degree. The judges were Mrs. Beverly Cleaveland, faculty adviserg Coach Jack Smith, Lou Stancampiana, representing the stu- dent bodyg Claire Moritz and Ginny Mangan. The following girls were selected: Ginny Chal- fant, Hazel Mischler, Jane MacDonald, Alva Pfirman, Jean Muller, Jacquie Lavac, and Dotty Simandl. The squad became an organized group on the campus and was then able to prepare for the football season. The cheering squad had a highly successful year. At least ten new cheers augmented the old repertoire. The girls repre- sented the college at all football and basketball games both home and away. Front-Z. to r.-J. McDonald, Muller, H. Mischler, E.

Returning to his post as Director of Athletics and Chairman of the Department of Physical Education, Jack MacDonald took up his duties Where they were terminated in l9-43 when he entered the Armed Forces. BRICK STONE, FRANK REILLY, JACK SMITH, BABE GANCEM1 JACK MACDONALD Chairman of the Department of Physical Education He served as head coach of football, basketball, and has planned an ex- tensive IM program. jack Smith who so ably carried on as director of sports during the war years, serves as assistant to Mac- Donald as JV coach director of IM play and Varsity baseball coach. Three newcomers to the staff are headed by ex-Hofstronian Frank Reilly who serves as assistant to the two Jacks in basketball. He also de- votes quite some time to IM super- vision and acts as the staff's repre- fsfentative to the Varsity Club. Babe Gangemi served as line coach in his first season at Hofstra. He gained his experience through seven years of football at Freeport HS, Fordham U. and a year of pro ball with the Jersey City Giants. Trainer Brick Stone has done a fine job in keeping injuries suffered by Hofstra men down to a mini- mum. Brick has taken it upon himself to coach the track and wres- tling squads while also assisting with intra-murals. Football Ol S'l'Ri-YS Flying Dutchmen, playing their lirst season in four years against their toughest, competition in the six year history of theaisport, emerged with a respectable four and three and ran Coach Jack MacDonald's Zlifgvins, l tie and 17 losses. lwiflie Blue and GolElfggridste1's racked up tri- umphs over Montclair State Teachers, Panzer, Trenton State Teachers, and Bergen and dropped decisions to Brooklyn, American ln- ternational and a powerful aggregation of neigh- boring Kings Point Merchant Marine Academy. Though most of the men reporting to prac- tice early in September can be termed as i'green, many fine prospects turned out for Mads call. Uppermost in experience was Bob Schuessler, recent transfer recruit from Man- hattan College where he played varsity center. Also from Manhattan, Elmer Demarest, an end, promised to make himself known on the grid- iron. Ray Coleman, Lou Stancanipiana and Al Mead were the only men who previously ap- fy f ff! f , fff,, ? , W , , I .Q ,xg 5,2221 9 ' V ' 'Q f , ffl, , f' W f rl , , q Q l peared in the garb of Dutchmen and their pres- ence helped to round out a successful squad. An enthusiastic group of Freshman hopefuls headed by Walt Petersen, Bill Karas, Chuck Kline, Bob Hanrahan and Bill Novi promised to make the fight for starting berths interesting. Montclair Teachers College played host to the Dutchmen in the season opener, and before the game was a minute old, the home forces threat- ened to maintain their unblemished supremacy over the visitors. On the first play from scrim- mage after Hofstra had kicked off, John Solo- mon raced 48 yards off his left tackle for a score before the Hofstra rooters could get seated. This lead was short-lived however, as Karas and Petersen clicked for the first of their two scor- ing plays. After driving to the Montclair ll in three plays, Karas heaved a short over-the-line pass to Petersen who went over standing up for the score. Bob Schuesslerls toe put the Dutclimen in the lead shortly afterwards as he added the extra point to make the score 7-6. Midway in the second period a pass by Karas from his own 47 found Petersen again on the Montclair 36 and he raced the remaining dis- tance before anyone could get their hands on him. Once again Schuessler made good and ended the scoring for the day. Two records were set by the MacDonaldmen that day. One was notching their firstuopening game win, and the other was beating the Maroon and White for the first time. s is X t X X X Q X Q sw . it bttb tx . i- K a - 1 'P X w a s Q N i - ----r P it .

Panzer proved stub- born and it was not until the final quarter that the goal line was crossed. With ten minutes re- maining, and the Dutchmen on Panzer's 2, Buddy Pierce bulled his way over the center of the line. A blocked kick by Schuessler set up the second score a few minutes later. Pierce carried the ball seven yards whereupon he lat- eraled to Schuessler who went l5 more for a score. A long bus trip to Trenton the following week did not take away from the Dutchmen's attacking power, as they romped over a hapless Trenton State Teachers eleven 21-0 as a result of a blocked kick by Schuessler for two points, a 38 yard pass play, Hanrahan to Petersen, a 2 yard buck by Pierce and a 22 yard run by Hanrahan. On October 26 Hofstra suffered its first loss 'fi ffgl 2 , 4' X X f ffmlj , , Wf W, V 17' Wm X of the campaign at the hands of an invading Brooklyn College team 13-8 when a quick kick was run back 47 yards by Ed Gaglio for a score late in the final stanza. Try as they may, the Dutchmen lost a hard battle in the waning seconds as the clock ticked off its precious time. American International made it two losses in a row as they ran over a tired Hofstra squad 20-6 with two touchdowns in the second period and another in the third. The only bright light for Hofstra was a brilliant 66 yard runback on the opening play of the third stanza for a score that saved it from a whitewashing. Tired but not disheartened, the Dutchmen returned to play host to Bergen on November 9 and with the aid of some added JV members scored in all but the third period to earn their third shutout of the year l8-0. Three long plays spelled defeat for the visitors as the home forces out-ran, out-rushed and out-passed them. The outstanding play was the pass interception of Perry lV1lllS on his own E50 and his subsequent 70 yard run across the goal for the score, Hofstras linal game on November 231-d against a powerful Kings Point team at O'Hara Field proved to be the best and hardest fought battle of the year although the MacDonald- men wound up on the short end of a 27-0 count. Kings Point had to take to the air to score three of their four touchdowns, and if it hadn't been for two momentary lapses of de- fence, the score would have been much closer. On one occasion a Point man broke through for an 85 yard run and on another a pass that should have been knocked down went un- touched into the arms of a waiting Mariner in the end zone. John B. MacDonald served as head coach and had Jack Smith and Babe Gangemi as his assistants. Walter Brick Stone acted as trainer while Charles Mirschel, Ray Widmer and Ed Lamb were managers.

Many men had active part in helping the Dutchmen complete this season's play. Men who saw most action were Elmer Demarest at left end, Walt Petersen at the other end for the first three games until he suffered a shoulder separation, his replacement, Charley Gelveles, Big Bill Novi, Ted Bejsovec and Les Dimond at the tackle spots, Ray Coleman and Lou Stan- campiana at the guards and Hy Kaplan at cen- ter. In the backfield Bob Hanrahan, Al Mead, Matt Campbell and Chuck Kline saw plenty of duty along with Bill Karas, Bill McKenna and Bob Schuessler who switched from his center position after the A. I. C. fracas. Scoring honors went to Petersen and Pierce with 18 each, while Schuessler earned runner up spot with 13. Biggest ground gainers were Hanrahan, Mead, and Pierce while the passing assignments fell to Hanrahan, Kline and Schuessler with the latter taking care of the team's kicking. f l WW 1 , - V - , V X X! ' y W ,AA, i Basketball OFSTRA,S 1946-47 Basketball season was definitely one to be remembered. Break- ing just about every existing school record as far as basketball is concerned, Coach jack Mac- Donald's Cagers were led on the Hoor by Co- captains John Mills and Roy Triebel. This is also the first time in the College's history that a basketball team has had co-captains. Those who saw the team in action will easily understand why it was impossible for the players to choose between these two men. In addition to Mills and Triebel, the Blue and Gold regulars were: Bill Ryan, Elmer Demarest, and Jack Koehler. Other starters were: Bob Rais, Hank Zalewsky, and Tom Fow- ley. Prominent in their relief roles were: Bob Hoffman, Toni Vesely, Bruce Hackford, and Melvin Einsidler. Three additional reserves were borrowed from the Jayvee ranks in prepa- ration for the year to come. These were Bob Zinn, Lester Rosenthal, and Pete Rutledge. While mentioning names, this might be a good place to tell you that Coach MacDonald was ably assisted by Coach Jack Smith, Assistant Coach Frank Reilly, and Trainer Brick Stone. The managerial duties were handled by Tom McCortin and Larry Rose. One of Hofstra's greatest claims to fame dur- ing the most recent basketball schedule was its co-captain and high scorer, John Mills. This was Mills' fourth, and therefore last, year of varsity competition and he made it a big one. He was among the country's top ten point get- ters, maintaining an average of better than l9 points a game. In twenty games he had topped his OW11 record of the '42-'43 period ol' twenty- one games. And it was just about inid-season when Big John brought his collegiate total to one thousand points and kept right on adding to it. Wliile Mills was breaking individual records, his teammates were joining with hiin to break and reset some local teain records. They beat -22' x -. Qs X - , , in -..R . 5 I 2 St. Peter's two weeks before the end of ti1C sea- son to break the existing Hofstra record of 15 victories in one season. ' In addition, the team set a new school record for the number of points racked up in one game. It happened here in Calkins Gymna- sium on fan. 31, when the Flying Dutchmen played host to New Bedford Textile, from Mas- sachusetts. The new total is 86 points. And thirclly, the season total for a Hofstra team was once at a high of l095, but the present record is l354.

Two games were played, both with the C. C. N. Y. jayvee squad and the 'Lil Dutchmen emerged on top on both occasions. . Led by Clarence Shinkle who ran Wild for four touchdowns, the Blue and Gold rolled up a record 47-0 score in the first game played at Hofstra Field. This broke the record of 41 amassed by the l94l squad, the last pre-war team. The second encounter between the two squads was almost a different story as the boys from City led off with a surprising defense and led 6-2 until the final minute of play. Then, with defeat staring them in the face, the Dutch- men would not be daunted. YV hen City tried a last minute pass, Perry Watts intercepted it and ran 20 yards for the winning score. Men seeing the most action were Bob Babb and Dave Bloodgood at ends, Les Dimond and Bill Rice at tackles, Ed Lynch and Dolph Vento at the guard positions, Dick Braham over Il1G ball, and Shinkle, YV-21l,l.S, Frank Zagnta and Clayton Francke in the backlicld. e ill UVO OYS iid CTL ch- d a nd bb rid IEO he nd 'l'he V. llaskcthall teznn, under the capable eye ol' Lloacli slack Smith, has also had a very Siu-qessliil season. 'l'heir record at this moment, with two games lel't to play, stands at eleven wins, one tie. and live defeats. This includes a victory over Fordham, a split with St. Francis in a home and hoine series, and a four point loss to C. C. N. Y. Scoring honors throughout the season were pretty evenly divided between the starting five which included: Ed Dressler, Ed Kearney, Fred Lansman, Les Rosenthal, and Pete Rutledge. The rest of the squad also saw plenty of action in the course of the schedule and was made up of Bob Zinn, Len Dobbins, and Jack Ryder. Bob Hanrahan and Jack Clarke also were with the team for part of the season. Bob Fowley was a member of this group until drafted by the Varsity. Playing the majority of their games before the varsity games, and often with the same op- ponents, the V. provided plenty of excite- ment in their own right and put everyone in just the right mood for more basketball. And it had to be good basketball which followed the J. V. games. An example of this was their two point win over St. Francis in the return game here at Hofstra. ayvee Basketball l gg,---- ...-, - 133 4 l We Baseball S we go to press, the baseball picture is still dark with practice sessions still two weeks away and with many new prospects in school, it is hard to say what the next month may bring. It is definitely set, however, that the Dutch- men will once again compete in the Metropoli- tan Collegiate Baseball League and will num- ber among its opponents such Met clubs as C. C. N. Y., N. Y. U., Brooklyn, St. John's and Fordham. Most interesting news is that the West Point baseball season will be inaugurated with a Visit by the Dutchmen. Such last year's standouts as Joe Moran, Tom Vesely, Ed Kearney and Ray Carpenter are sure to see some keen competition from Ed Dressler and Ray Cassidy, all-City catcher and third base- man from Andrew Jackson HS and also from returning Hofstra stars Roy Triebel who covorls around second and Billy Clausseu former first' sacker for the 1942 squad.

That is to say, the two crowns-the lntra-mural League Championship and the Inter-Fraternity Cham- pionship. Three teams were outstanding in their play. Epsilon Sigma Fraternity, the Hickoryites made up of former Jackson High boys and the Long Beach Five. Ep Sig had no trouble with their fraternity foes, Kappa Rho and Crown and Lance, taking both games against these lives. l r mi League honors went to the Hickoryites who won after they beat Ep Sig in a close tussle and nosed them out of first place by handing them their only defeat in 9 games. Andy Gerry, Richy Buck, E. Decker, Bob Reisenberger and Bob Depoto made up the winning team while Elmer Mfolke, Bob Miller, Larry Rose, Bill Boughton and Toni Dempsey comprised the fraternity team. ' The spring team showed an even bigger turn- out for IM sports. Ping pong, badminton and bowling made up the indoor schedule, while softball was followed by a huge turnout. l37 .. .. ti,..,.,v,,,ii-,sshg f Girls, Sports ETURNING to Hofstra in the Fall, the Women opened their Sports activity with a Field Hockey team that was rarin' to go. After a month of hard practice, Lucia Anselowicz, W. A. A. leader of Hockey, was ready to field a team that would give their best against their opponents from neighboring schools. In the first match of the season, the Flying Duchesses earned an easy victory over the girls of Queens College by a score of 3-O. In the second and final meeting of the short season, Adelphi took a close decision at Hofstra Field 2-l. Mrs. Cleaveland, who filled the position of Women's Athletic Director from September to January, revived the girls' interest in many in- dividual sports. Fencing classes were held and many girls came to realize that Touche is more than an answer to a cutting remark. A newly formed riding group also became popular with Hofstra Co-eds this year. Mrs, Cleaveland, a riding enthusiast. accompanied thc girls on their trail rides. This sport promises lo hold ll prominent position in the list of out- standing sport activity at Hofstra. lndoor sports turned to Volleyball and Bad- minton. Although laboring under a limited time allotment in which to practice in the gym, Jean Muller, head of volleyball, organized a few games between teams representing the Freshmen and Upper-classmen. The energetic freshmen held the upper hand in all of these frays, and Volleyball season, which ended with the greatly welcomed Christmas vacation, found them undefeated. The New Year ushered in a new Athletic Director, Miss Mary Baker, and a new basket- ball schedule against tough opposition to con- tend with. This seasonls schedule includes games against Queens College, Adelphi, Brook- lyn College, C. C. N. Y. and the girls of Upsala College of East Orange. An intra-mural sched- ule is also being arranged with play starting in March. These teams will vie for the trophy which is awarded annually to the winning com- bination. 5 i Miss Baker has undertaken the job of coach- ing the varsity team with the capable assistance of Gertrude Decker, W. A. A. basketball di- TCCIOT. The W. A. A. head of softball this year is Dorothy DeC-raf. Intra-mural teams and a Var- sity team to represent the college against other colleges were planned. This sport, which is played in the Warm Weather, will Wind up the girls' sports activity for the l946-l947 season which was a big success due mainly to the un- sellish efforts of the W. A.
