At left, Mrs. Theresa Doris, and below, Mrs. Margaret Houlihan. Their efficiency accounts for keeping so many bosses happy. Essential for the attainment of peace is that the knowledge of each generation be passed on to its Society has arranged that much of this accomplished by teachervstudent youtht environment called transference be communication within a total education. 33 35 mu m webbing v a 29m ?JWW 38 Soon after students have started to Iearnitis naturalthatthey beghwto inves gaKatheH newfound knowL edge. i; 2 Z 295???? , ?,?,fo .14.w .....u I 43 u 46 TRloDE DEMONSTRATOR cu WW mm W - 9m 9.3;: 51 xw aha: mm 1 ' mavmwwmw Lcjlyj? 7;Yh .1! ., ,4. 55 4,4,7? . x x fof .. 5x x M$Vx ,. gem 3 57 Aft being confronted by the knowledge of their professors, becoming invoIved in the communication process and investigating knowledge for themselves, it then becomes time for the student to isolate his mind - in class, during a test, in the library, wherever - and begin to think about this phenomenon of which he is a part. It is from such contemplation that comes the hope for the future. NW , WW WW up ... .4 ,, W- 65 66 Essential to Clear thinking and continued learning are periods of rest. Ironically, often some of the best ideas, relationships, and th ughts are direct products of moments of relaxation.

Eventually they will become involved in working toward the ultimate goal of all mankind - a world of peace and understanding. A full and varied program of athletics affords students the opportunity for friendly, fast-paced competition governed by rules of good conduct. Such experience is imperative for the attainment of maturity. STUDENT GOVERNMENT For a two-year institution which has been in operation for only two years, the College has an amazingly active Student Government. At right, the man who presided over this governing body for two years, August Piazza. Bottom left, Marily Griglock, vice president; bottom right, Ronald Viglone, secretary-treasurer. Below, the entire Student Government. First row: Miss Griglock, Piazza, Viglone. Second row: Florence Weir, corresponding secretary, Andrea Maher, Frank Cornell, Marla Cloak, recording secretary, Carol Amico, Miss Margaret Campbell, advisor. Candidates for Student Government offices for the 1969-70 school year were: Uirst rom President, Frank DeMasi, Joseph Killeen, Floyd Roby; Treasurer wnopposedx Florence Weir; Second row Vice President, Dennis Keith Ferrell, Andrea Maher; Representatives, hseatedh Marla Cloak, Ernest Sando, Rae Ann Ritz, Standing John Murray, David Roberts. Each of the candidates was given an opportunity to present his campaign platform before the student body at a Political Rally held as the Jewish Community Center Auditorium the day before elections. A question and answer period followed each presentation. 89 Elected by the student body as officers of Student Government for next year are Frank DeMasi, President, Dennis Keith Ferrell, Vice President, and Florence Weir. Secretary-Treasurer. Also elected as representatives are Marla Cloak, Rae Ann Ritz. John Murray, John Abraham. STUDENT GOVERNMENT PROMOTES SOCIAL SEASONS WITH TWO FORMAL AFFAIRS The Christmas Dance was held in the Crystal Ballroom of the Hotel Sterling. Pictured above are Frank Cornell and date, Kenny Richards and Gwen Singer, Marla Cloak and David Hess. Domicella Chapelonis and August Piazza. The Spring Formal Dinner Dance was held at Holiday Inn. At right, Ronald Viglone and Margaret Campbell welcome James Tobin and Marilyn Griglock, Donna Golanoski and Edmund Gorka. Enjoying the intermission, below, are hseatem Patricia Pagnotti, Michael Nardone, Charles Valites, Marlene Mikula, Mrs. Rita Schneider; Standing Dr. and Mrs. Byron Rinehimer, Mr. and Mrs. George McCutcheon, Dr. and Mrs. David Duncan. The Drama Club presented two one act plays in a program entitled HAn Evening With the Moralities. The American Dream, by Edward Albee, the cast of which is pictured below, was the modern counterpart to the fifteenth century Everyman, starring Jack Kocienski, right, in the title role. The many other small roles were filled by the large cast pictured below. Critics' reactions to the evening were favorable and considered quite a success for the College's first dramatic offering. Kocienski. Gail Zekas played Mommy and Tony Kopko played Daddy in The American Dream. As the overbearing, shrewish wife and the cowed, Mittyesque husband, the two gave a good interpretation of Edward Albee's opinion of modern marriages. Florence Pixie Weir, as HGrandma in The American Dream, by all accounts stole the show. She brought talent and vibrancy to a difficult role. It has been pointed out that one of the most difficult parts for a young actress to play is that of an old woman. Pixie succeeded. Her t'Grandma was the perfect blend of humorous and pathetic senility. Mary Lou Yelo's interpretation of the society woman-social worker in modern America was one of superficiality and apathy. Miss Yelo adapted her voice to a shrill indifference that suited the characterization well. Joseph Polcha, in the title role, played the American Dream as a boy wonder with a body and a face, but no direction or future. He drifted in speech and action through the excellent role. grain I, 33m: 1199 E . h h ' VETERANS CLUB.
