38 LYCOMING COLLEGE 30 10025 9275 E J. GRAY MEMORIAL UBRART Aqood book, is the precious lire blood of o master-spirit treA5ured up for o, life bejonS life. Milton Sx JlifaiU Published 6y the Students of Dfc tmson Junior College £dit 4f rlvte The Dart Staff has attempted to give you a resume of the 1944-4 5 school year. Our activities have been somewhat curtailed because of the war and the absence of many men from the campus, but we have carried on to the best of our ability. None of us will soon forget the Chestnut Hunt, the Mardi Gras, the Greater Dickinson Banquet, Campus Thun- der and graduation. Much credit is due our business staff who, under the able direction of Barbara Timberman, have worked untiringly to make this book a success. Our thanks to Professor Gillette, faculty adviser, who willingly gave of his time to listen to our troubles and to help us work out our problems. In spite of the shortage of materials and other handicaps, we have endeavored to bring you a Dart that will, in later years, make vivid some of your most cherished memories. ® n ® o c (air n ® To the members of our faculty who have gone from the halls of Dickinson Junior College to answer the call of duty, we proudly dedicat e this book. For you, Lt. (s. g.) John G. Cornwell, Lt. (s. g.) Richard V. Mor- rissey, Ensign John P. Graham, Ensign Alice Eastlake, and Red Cross Field Director Earl Z. McKay, we offer our prayers for a safe and speedy return. 46308 Qj U ae 7 Mil IliENT ' : Diar Friinds: I have been referring recently to the Dart to refresh my memory about students in other days. So many Dick- insonians are active in the world ' s bat- tle fronts and making such a fine rec- ord that I have been looking up their records of work and activities as stu- dents at Dickinson Junior College. In this I have found the various volumes of the Dart most helpful. It has been interesting to compare and see how closely their record in the various fields of activity in which they are now en- gaged parallels their record while here. This illustrates an important function of the Dart, namely, to record faithfully, from the stu- dents ' point of view, the history of the Junior College while it is in the making. In after years you will find great pleasure in referring to your Dart just as I have been doing recently. It is likely that there are members of your class and certainly some members of the student body whom you do not know well. A reference to the Dart in later years will often refresh your memory and recall pleas- ant happenings and associations. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your part in making the Dart possible in spite of the many difficulties which I am sure you must be experiencing. We are all in debt to you for a real service which you are rendering. And now a final thought. These are tremendous times. Possibly not since the beginning of the Christian Era has any age been filled with greater possibilities. What is to come out of this war? Will the cost be justified by the results? Young people are paying the greater part of the cost by making the greater sacrifices. The youth in our colleges and elsewhere must carry on the work for which they gave their last full measure of devotion. Of another day of world-shaking events Wordsworth said: Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, But to be young was very Heaven! May you see in this day not its privations and inconveniences but an incomparable opportunity and prepare yourselves accordingly. Sincerely, mm® ®p Hon. Robert F. Rich Mr. Charles E.

We will never forget that date, for we took our first feeble steps toward acquiring a higher education at D. J. C. The typical campus life was con- stantly disrupted by the presence of the aviation cadets of the Army Air Forces. The sophomores further annoyed us as we waded through a wet and muddy Freshman Week. Such events as the Greater Dickinson Banquet, Nine Girls, May Day, and cadet socials filled our days at Dick- inson. With the coming of the Fall of 1944, we returned with our heads high. This year we were sophomores! After the withdrawal of the cadets we moved back to the old dor- mitory, and for a while we wandered around in once alien territory. As upperclassmen we soon gained sufficient con- trol to dole out punishment to the frightened Frosh, and to laugh heartily at their antics performed on the gym steps. Such things as the Mardi Gras, Campus Thunder, the Christmas Pageant, the President ' s Reception, and our one basketball game, provided us with the many pleasant mem- ories we take with us from Dickinson Junior College. 15 SOPHOMORES SHIRLEY ADSIT OLIVE BABCOCK RUTH BIEBER OLIVE BRIGHT R.

J. C. In the girls ' dorm the usual tranquil routine was broken occasionally by rats, cats, bats, and sick dogs. The high spots of each day were the three mail deliveries. In the evenings we danced in the lounge from after dinner until 7:00; we wish to compliment Mouse Hill for asking the girls to dance instead of going into a huddle over the vie with the other fellows. After 7:00 we studied and were a fairly serious group. The heavy silence of study hour was broken at half-hour intervals by the slapping of Lizzy ' s shower sandals on her heels as she went to Flossie ' s room to gripe about the long assignments and discuss Joseph Cotten, her great love.

The boys ' dorm was a quiet place except when gently stirred by a rip-roaring wrestling match. Two of our classmates, Weed Hill and Ed Hall, were on the first string of our great basketball team which very promisingly had won one game when it was dis- banded. Bob Rebel Weber was a Henry Fonda sort of guy who blushed and surprised everyone with his good manners. Buzz Stein- hilper was a genuine Beau Brummel and will always be remembered for his aptitude for plane geometry. But, alas, we have passed on the greater problems and more difficult work. It is with a feeling of nostalgic affection that we pass on to the bobby sockers and Sinatra-ites of the younger gen- eration the Dickinsonian tradition of getting an education and hav- ing fun too. 31 SENIOR PREP PAUL R.

The freshmen had arrived! On a warm October day we walked over to Mountain Beach where we had a glorious time getting acquainted with each other dancing, hiking, playing games, and, of course, eating. Taking the bad with the good, we next endured Freshman Week. What a week! Each day we looked more ridiculous with our clothes on backwards, with our hair in braids, in pin curls or straight, with horrible black or grey stockings, and with idiotic shoes. Prof. Dickason ' s slogan Are you going OUT? con- vinced us that we must attend the Greater Dickinson Ban- quet. Campus Thunder scored another success when Fifi Cioffi and her chorus put the audience in hysterics. Having been thoroughly initiated into the traditions and activities of Dickinson, we feel we are ready to step into the vacancies left by our friends and counselors, the Sophomores. 35 ffje tiitttii s 1.

The newspaper came off press every three weeks, and the work was handled solely by the office practice class, under the direction of Albert A. Dickason. Jeanne Odell served as editor; Sue Umstead and Pau- line Kurtz as associate editors; Shirley Adsit, humor edi- tor; Barbara Wagner, dormitory editor; and Sara Manfre, day-student editor. A new committee chosen from the office practice class served each month on the staff. 42 To enable the Dramatic Club to carry through in full measure all the planned-for spectacles of the year, a money- making, fun-frolicking March Gras, complete with booths, shows, danceland, and queen, set the pace for 1944-45. Professor Dickason directed the stage productions of the year. He was assisted by Mrs. Jean Yocum, and an efficient student administration of Betty Collins, president; Nancy Lou Waldner, vice president; and Sally White, sec- retary. The traditional Christmas pageant in modern dress, The Christmas Letter — the musings of a boy overseas — was presented just before the Christmas vacation. Campus Thunder, a series of sketches, some comic, some scenic, some both, revived from last year, was a howl- ing success. Despite the curtailed student body, the Dramatic Club continued to provide the spice of the school activities. Firs! Row, Left i Rlgbl Hall, Gould, Weber, Wolfe, Overdorf, Stelnbllper, smith.

Bcttj Miller (al pis II TK]g €IH®Q® Under the expert and enthusiastic leadership of Mr. Frederick Stevens, a choir was formed at Dickinson, after a lapse of several years. The choir practiced every Mon- day evening, although it inevitably snowed that night. The choir ' s first appearance was the Christmas pag- eant. The carols and other selections were done with beauty and simplicity. The choir also sang in April for a meeting of the Methodist Conference, which was held in Williamsport this year. Although this is the first year of the choir under the direction of Mr. Stevens, we feel that we have accom- plished the foundation for a fine choir. In a few years, and with a few more men, the choir should be a credit to Mr. Stevens and to Dickinson. Those of us who are gradu- ating can state with pride that we were in the choir when there was laid groundwork for later success. rati sixm Begun last year under the interest and efforts of Miss Dewey, the Dickinson Sextet continued to function as a musical organization this year, under the direction of Frederick Stevens. The Sextet gave many unique per- formances which will be remembered for their originality and cleverness. The Sextet has been very active on the campus and in the community. Members of the Sextet are Alyce Walker, Betty Collins, Shirley Ortman, Suzie Umholtz, Barbara King, and Shirley Minker. Betty Miller has accompanied the Sextet both this year and last year. 45 I.rft t«i Etighl Gould, Guillard, Guilder, Sunders, Overdorf, blinker, Ortman, Pysher, Kschinka, Brown, Carter. One of the most talked of and most enjoyable events of this year was the Greater Dickinson Banquet held in the ballroom of the Lycoming Hotel on March 2, 1945. The catchy phrase, Are you going OUT? taken from an old Carolinian custom, brought a huge response from the student body in ticket sales. The speaker for the evening. Chancellor William Pearson Tolley of Syracuse University, delivered an address of interest and inspiration to the alumni and student body. Among the other notables present were Mayor Williamson, who led us in singing many of the old favorites; Mrs. Samuel Hutchinson, the president of the Alumni Association, who read the names of former Dickinsonians now serving in the armed forces. Professor Stevens, accompanied by Mrs. Stevens, sang several selections which were enjoyed by everyone. Others on the program included the Dickinson choir, and Miss Dewey ' s string ensemble. Professor Dickason deserves much of the credit for making the banquet the big success that it was. He was very capably assisted by the following student committee: Shirley Minker, Chairman; Shirley Ortman, Otto Sonder, Robert Overdorf, Ardelle Gould, Ann Carter, Roma Gunder, Jo Ann Guillard, Martha Brown, Betty Kschinka, Flossie Pysher, Joan Evenden, Elizabeth Corson, and Olive Bright. 46 .©ra®n® 3g ™©TO£m The Sophomores, always willing to tax their ingenuity chinking up schemes for torturing the poor Frosh, made no exceptions this year. It was hilarious to see two good friends like Bill Ed- wards and Bill Hinkleman feed each other blackberry pie, while blindfolded. We found out, too, that Bill Hinkleman seems to know a lot about kissing, according to his rather complete speech on the subject. National election even got into Freshman Week. Jo Guillard made a fine soap-box orator for Thomas Dewey in front of the Williamsport Library, while Jean Bartholo- mew championed her vote, Franklin D., on an adjoining box.

COUNCIL The Student Council is the self-governing body of the girls at Dickinson. One representative is elected from the Freshman class. The officers are elected at the end of their Freshman year, so that they will be able to start right in with their duties. A Council meeting is held each Tuesday evening, where various rules are made and other matters of importance discussed. Individual desires must be subservient to those of the entire group. The Council started off this year by helping Miss Dewey welcome the new girls and directing them through the dormitories. Since that time, they have been willing and eager to help anyone who might wish assistance or advice. Their aim is to teach and help girls to live and work to- gether as cheerful and upright individuals of Dickinson. 4fl In the spirit of the founder of Methodism, John Wesley, who de- clared, The world is my parish, we find a group of ministerial students and those preparing for Christian service on the campus of Williamsport Dickinson. One of the oldest organizations on the campus, the members this year have been active in conducting devotional services in Clarke Me- morial Chapel and in the effective ministry. Twentieth Century circuit riders in the club include the Reverends Frank H. Weller, John F. Buehler and Francis Maneval. The Wesleyans had two splendid advisers this year, the Reverends Harley B. Kline and John R. Sanderson. Members of the club include: Frank H. Weller, President; Ardell G. Gould, Vice President; Francis Maneval, Secretary; John F. Buehler, Treasurer; Ralph W. Sheriff and Stanley F. Knock. Along with early Methodists, we believe that we need more than religious enthusiasm. Our calling demands pure motives, joyful ex- periences and blameless lives. Christian brotherhood, love and service will be our goal. Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. Only one life, ' twill soon be past. Only what ' s done for Christ will last.

At the meetings we have dis- cussed plans for a fuller recognition on the part of the students of Chapel service and vespers service. Mr. Sander- son, our representative from the Pine Street Methodist Church, suggested several ways to get the students more active in outside church work. 50 Left t..

George Wolf, who was already on the campus, having entered for the summer session, told the newcomers how much better they would like carrying books than rifles. The new group, consisting of Robert Overdorf, James Ritter, Ralph Sheriff, and Otto Sonder, soon learned where classes were held and became acquainted with each other and with other students. Most of the X-G-I ' s had been Infantrymen and even yet comments are heard from them about the weight of a full field pack or the exercise of a forced march. During the first few weeks of the term most of the fellows seemed to enjoy wearing bright colors to make up for long months of wearing regulation O.D. ' s and suntans. At the beginning of the second semester Frank Castlebury entered the school as a sixth ex-serviceman on the campus. James Bubb, a former Army Band member, also entered for a few weeks. The X-G-I ' s are proud to represent so large a percentage of the total num- ber of men at Dickinson. The men have been active in clubs and other activities on the campus showing that they have as successfully made the transition from drill field to college as they first did from campus to camp. Members have belonged to the College Choir, Dramatic Club, Debating Club, and basketball team. While the group has never formally organized as a club, it is held together by main experiences and opinions in common. 51 m mm c© m The students and faculty of the college responded very nobly to the various appeals throughout the year to buy War Bonds and Stamps. With the assistance of Miss Watkins, faculty adviser, the following committee was responsible for the promotion of sales: Alyce Walker, chairman; Olive Babcock, Gladys Myers, Phyllis Gladewitz, Nora Winner, and Jo Guillard.

This event, which has been a part of every student ' s life at Dickinson for many years, was eagerly anticipated by the member s of the student body and faculty alike. The day was perfect for the hike out to Mountain Beach. As we arrived shortly before lunch, we had a little time to go exploring. The lake proved too tempting for a certain group, who didn ' t realize that October was not the month to go for a swim. In the minds of many people, the sight of that one little boat with so many people in it will always remind them of the Chestnut Hunt of 1944. After a wonderful lunch, served by the women of the faculty, the different classes competed against one another in various games under the direction of Miss Watkins and Professor Dickason. To those of us who are graduating, the Chestnut Hunt will always be one of the fine traditions of Dickinson, and a part of our school life which we will always cherish. . .: This year we added a new club to the list of student activities. The Upsilon Pi Delta Debating Fraternity. Its inception was due mainly to the efforts of students in the social classes of Dr. Helen Breese Weidman, whose capable guidance helped to make it one of the most active clubs on the campus.

The nurses received their early academic training in our classrooms. The second floor of Bradley Hall was turned into a nursing laboratory, where the basic procedures for bed-making, bed-baths, etc., were studied. Although their schedules were heavy, the nurses took part whole-heartedly in all the social affairs on the campus. Mrs. Frank Kilgus served as housemother and constant friend and adviser. 55 Dickinson Junior College returned to the court scene this year, temporarily at least, after an absence of one year from varsity action. George Wolf, discharged veteran of World War II, was largely instrumental in organizing the squad, but was unable to compete because of service dis- abilities. Soon after Dr. Long had officially sanctioned the cage sport, Rollie Hain, former coach, was named to guide the Gold and White through the 1944-45 campaign. Practice sessions began in earnest at the beginning of December. Even before one game had been played, the Hilltoppers were dealt the first of a series of blows that forced the early curtailment of the season. Bill Hinkle- 56 man, promising Frosh, entered the U. S. Maritime Service. Dickinson entered the first game of the year against York with eight players on its roster. Dick Crossley, Bill Ed- wards, Ed Hall, Bob Smith and Bob Bevington comprised the starting five, with Paul Hill, Bob Weber, and Ralph Sheriff, an ex-serviceman, as reserves. We journeyed to York for the initial test of a rather green squad. However, because of the fine marksmanship of Bevington and Crossley, who registered eighteen and twelve points respectively, we returned home with a 39-31 decision and victory number one. The second, and unfortunately the last game, was played in our own gym against Bucknell Junior College. In this contest superior reserve strength told the story and we went down to a 42-26 defeat. Once again, it was Bev- ington and Crossley who led our scoring, each checking in with seven points. At this point, the long arm of Uncle Sam reached out and plucked three mainstays from our ranks. Edwards went into the Air Corps, Smith chose the Navy and Bev- ington was sworn into the Coast Guard. With the number of boys so depleted it was deemed necessary to discontinue the young season then and there. Due credit should be given the members of the team who displayed the fine courage and sportsmanship for which Dickinson has been so well known in the past. 57 : « . . . ■ . j X ' ' XX KM m ■: s ii ij 4tJkm i 1.
