Commencement is the end and the beginning—end of all we have found during this phase of the journey, and the beginning of all that lies ahead. With each step taken we have attained greater knowledge and understanding. We must continue, for this road leads only forward. 6 To Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Wallis, our class advisors for three years, we ded¬ icate with gratitude our 1954 KIONDA- GA. For four years this class has greatly appreciated their guidance. From fresh¬ man English classes to the present time, their assistance and interest in our class endeavors have been of great value to us. Their characteristic friendliness and helpfulness have been exhibited both in and out of class. We have benefited by the suggestions and foresight of this de¬ pendable couple; their willingness to give of their time has greatly increased the success of senior class functions. Mr. and Mrs. Wallis, we thank you for sharing your knowledge with us; for guiding us with sincerity and enthusiasm; for making our four years at Keuka full and satisfying ones. The standards you have set for us will continue to influence our future thought and action. I i i Katherine G. Blyley Symbolic of untiring efforts and progressive attitudes, Keuka College stands as a monument to her past presidents. In the light of her past achievements for the college, and with the addition of the Miller Room this year, Dr. Blyley can be credited with bringing their aspirations much closer to reality. Because of her ad¬ ministrative capabilities and foresightedness, Dr. Blyley has justly gained the respect of trustees, faculty and students. Louise R. Heath Guide and counselor, professor and friend, Dr. Heath has become an ideal during the four years we have known her. During this, her last year at Keuka, we only regret that we have not had enough time in which to appreciate fully her genuinely fine qualities. Compliments become you as tinsel becomes a tall snow covered cedar in a mountain cedar wood.” 9 culmmidAxdion Assistant to President Business Manager Edith L.

We arrived as the new freshmen to the Keuka campus. Any fears or anxieties we had were soon allayed by friendly and gracious upperclassmen, who showed us to our rooms, tests, and Jay’s. At first, there was the usual confu¬ sion, but soon we were settled in our rooms with our schedules. We had even found the little post office. Initiation was introduced to us soon after the arrival of the Sophomores, and our united Allah to the Sopho¬ mores’’ echoed monotonously through the halls. With good spirit we played our parts as nursery rhyme characters. Receiving our Frosh caps gave us the FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS Standing, Left to right: Victoria Bongard, Barbara Ekvall, President, Lorna Wright, Patricia Brissett.

Cafe Rue de la Paix,” our Frosh stunt, was a success be¬ cause of the united efforts of the entire class and the whole¬ hearted support of our ad¬ visors. On the political scene, we elected a fine group of officers who capably led us into our freshman year. We can now look back on initiation, the stunt, and Eng¬ lish commentaries with relief and satisfaction. We have as¬ sumed our rightful place in the Keuka family.

Standing : Gettings, Lamb, Perkins, Cozier, sophomores With fresh memories of our own initiation, we Sophomores eagerly di¬ rected the fall traffic of Freshman Bo- Peeps and Tommy Tuckers. A dis¬ tinctly superior air soon changed to a protective and friendly attitude toward our newly chosen Frosh Buds. Choos¬ ing the first member of our Keuka family was an experience we shall never forget. Our recently won prestige was near¬ ly lost on that black night in Novem¬ ber when Soph sleepyheads wrestled with warm clothes, preparing to spend a night in the open. Screams mixed with laughter issued from woods sur¬ rounding the college, as Juniors treated us to Pow-Wow. Sophomores’ originality was evident when we proudly displayed our dif- SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Front, Left to right: Janice Fasolino, Barbara Hunt.

Before leaving Keuka to try our wings during Field Period, we pre¬ sented the social highlight of fall quarter, Bon Voyage” weekend, a success in every respect. The Class of 1956 showed prowess in athletics as we maintained our rep¬ utation on the basketball court, win¬ ning a name for spirited playing and good sportsmanship. The Soph Stunt, given in early spring, was typical of the class and its variety of talents. At the half-way mark, we recall fondly the first two years of success at Keuka, and eagerly look forward to giving our best to our Alma Mater in the future. 21 Seafed, Left to right-.

There was a time when we looked up to the Junior class with envy and no small amount of uncertainty. Those Freshman days seem now so long ago, yet we still recall our first project as Keu- konians, Frosh Stunt. We acted de¬ mons and devils, and sighed with relief at the applause of acceptance. It seemed like pretty hot stuff” then, but that was before we brought Broadway to Keuka, in Ladies’ Man,” our Soph Stunt, an exciting production, glamorous and different. Our feeling of pride and accomplishment was only slightly surpassed when this year we paraded our charcoal Junior jackets. Harbouring our Little Sisters dur¬ ing the terrors of Initiation tight¬ ened the ties of our Keuka families 22 Seated, Left to right: Caton, Hartwell, Valade, Holley, Lail.

During the year we thrilled to the completion of that dream come true, the new Mil¬ ler Room, to our beer mugs, and to the endless hours of planning that made Junior Weekend a modernistic masterpiece. Rising with the dawn on May morning and selecting a class hymn were indications that our Junior year was ending. May Day, when we donned caps and gowns for the first time, moving up’’ to the sacred Senior position, was a fitting climax to a happy and eventful year. Wearing proudly our new onyx rings, carrying with us new dreams and aspirations, we look backward with pride and forward with eager confidence. 23 may A kaleidoscope of white dresses, caps and gowns, senior hoops, dripping damsels dunked off Neamo, and most of all, our radiant Mav Day Queen, will forever enliven our memories of May Day, 1954. Parents, alumnae and friends crowded the campus to share our most significant Keuka tradition, the festivities which symbolize and sum up the academic and social achievements of the college year. Commencing the day’s program were the moving-up day exercises in the auditorium where seniors relinquished their places to incoming juniors and the other classes took a step forward. The crowning of the A.A. queen concluded the morning’s events. In the afternoon, as the freshmen and sopho¬ mores processed Down this Aisle of Elm Trees,” we, with our parents and our friends, anxiously awaited the arrival of the May Day Queen. Proud¬ ly we watched as the sophomore social chairman placed the regal crown of pearls upon our Queen —the senior whom we felt best represented the ideal Keuka girl. Through her personality, her leadership, her fellowship, and her scholarship, she had shown us the true Keuka spirit. This was her day, and hers was the highest honor a Keuka girl could receive. That night, we paid a fitting tribute to our mothers at the Mother - Daughter banquet, con¬ signing our Dads to the ministrations of the fac¬ ulty men. With a note of sadness, this day ended with the senior step-sing. First row, Left to right: Susan Madden, Andrea Stutz.

Cheers for hockey goals drift down from our new Keuka Dad’s Athletic Field and the traditional 6 a.m. stroke- up” reminds us of practicing crew teams that dream of jet speed for the annual May Day crew races. Basketball, volleyball, softball, tennis, fenc¬ ing, and swimming, both varsity and intramurals, round out the sports program which is offered to all students for relaxation and fun. Keuka girls look forward to several Play Days each year, as teams travel to Cornell, Elmira, Wells, and William Smith for sports events, and are hostesses for return Play Days here. Other events looked forward to are the Student-Faculty games when the profs forget classroom procedures and attempt to use strategy on the basketball court and softball diamond. The annual A. A. Banquet is the time when cups and trophies are awarded to winning teams and students are given K’s” in recognition of active participation in sports. On May Day the Athletic Association Queen is crowned. She is the Senior who exemplifies ability, sportsmanship, interest, and Keuka spirit.

The crowning of the Junior Queen was the highlight of Accent in Abstract. Other aspects of the modern pattern were a collegiate dance on Friday evening, a Mobil Matinee to all dorms on Saturday afternoon and a formal banquet prior to the dance. Modernesque will recall fond and lasting memories to all. First row, Left to right: Marjorie Jacobsen, Barbara Ekvall, Dorothy Lawton.

From seasonal sports to dramatics and modern dance, from all — college picnics to all — college ; dances, the emphasis is on individual j expression through group action. Through publications, stunts, sports and club activities, we not only have a means of expression and creation, but a chance to develop a sense of sports¬ manship and fair play. .... .

Through our democratic form of govern¬ ment, each student is responsible for the further¬ ing of Keuka ideals. Active participation and vot¬ ing for student body officers are each girl’s share in the conducting of organized school life. It is through Co-operative Government that all the various organizations on campus function. Representative Councils help to determine the conduct and discipline of the students, while Stu¬ dent-Faculty Congress considers the business and government non-disciplinary areas of college life. Student Forum is the weekly Friday meeting at which matters of all-college interest are discussed. Here each student fulfills her responsibility as a college citizen. Co-operative Government assures all students a unified and coordinated campus life. Through participation in this campus governing body, Keukonians experience for themselves democratic processes, which prove invaluable in after-college life. Seated, Left to right-.

From here come the weekly accounts of campus news, the compilations of creative writing and the historical record, in words and pictures, of the year’s activities. Copy, coffee, and cigarettes highlight the Tues¬ day night-long ritual as reporters meet dead¬ lines, and editors compose the weekly newspaper, The Keukonian. Extra!

Within the linings of Red Jacket, we discover the personal ability and wit of our talented young authors and poets. Writers Week, clever posters and humorous skits were encourag¬ ing symbols to aspiring writers who gained rec¬ ognition at the annual Red Jacket banquet for prize winning stories and poems. Tilted heads—cheese—flash! Class pictures, candid shots and club gatherings marked only the primary stages of long mon ths of careful planning, compiling and printing Keuka’s album, Kiondaga. We turn these pages expectantly. Once again we see our May Queens in all their splendor. Again we see the low lights and spring setting of our memorable Senior Ball, and we can hear the heartwarming voices at our Senior Step Sings. With our yearbook editors, we venture into the mysterious Pow Wow trails in suspense and won¬ derment. Again we live four years, never to for¬ get. kiondaga Seated, Left to right : Joan Black, Editor, Caroline Stone, Joyce Gardner, Emily Dean.

However, few of us are stars—we are just people, working hard to produce good theatre and good fun. We spend lots of time on stage, it is true, blocking scenes and learning lines, but we spend even more on ladders adjusting lights, on the floor painting flats, and in conference dreaming up publicity stunts. To us a production means more than pure acting; for where is the play without the stage hands and the makeup crew ? Every year we have several new experi¬ ments. This year we produced an arena- style play, Antigone.” It was the second one of this nature for Arion and we are constantly working on improvements and variations. We find dramatics a chal¬ lenge, both in acting and producing.

Y. W. C. A., Chi Lambda, New¬ man, Hillel, and Canterbury Clubs co¬ operate to offer religious opportunities for each Keuka girl. The wide program of religious activities including worship, service and fellowship, enables each girl to keep in contact with her own personal religion. Horizons are broad and Keuka’s re¬ ligious organizations offer an almost un¬ limited line of activity in regular pro¬ grams, WUS, retreats, religious music interpretation, Life and Faith Chapel speakers, the Churchmanship Banquet, birthday banquets, dances, dorm Lenten worship, off-campus confe rences and par¬ ticipation in all-state planning.

Our green uniforms spotted the campus as we attended those first nursing arts and foods classes. Sophomore year was the last spent on campus with our class. Soph¬ omore field period took us to Clifton Springs for our first hospital experience. September, 1952—we received our caps, coveted symbols of progress. During the next two years we con¬ tinued the various services in our affiliated hos¬ pitals. June, 1954—Graduation day—we received the coveted green bands on our caps. Now we are at last launched upon our chosen careers. 2-year business course Left to right: Murriel Love, Lorraine Rowe, Nancy Swain, Barbara Cleveland, Dorothy Lawton, Nancy Kimmel.
