Nichols Highland Falls, New York 4 Y OUR college years have coincided with two of the most action packed peace-time years in the world’s history. Despite the inevitable insistence of academicians on prosaic requirements, you have felt the excitement, challenge and pressure of change in your classroom instruction. Even though the secrets of the universe may be unlocked by man in his increasing knowledge and wisdom, the operation and preservation of the world depends on man ' s humility in the use of his power in the face of God’s intent and purpose. Remember that College is never an end in itself, only an early chapter in your life-long struggle to identify yourself, choose a path of direction, prepare for it and achieve it. Go forth with greater wisdom and more humility. Edwin H. Miner, President 5 W E hear much said about the “lost” generation and the indifference of youth. I do not believe this, for the present college generation has assuredly not given up its spirit of adventure. The world, as we are disconcertingly aware, has already embarked on what may well be its greatest adventure—the exploration of space, measuring the immeasurable, defining the infinite. There is enough excitement in these fantastic undertakings to challenge the adventurer in each one of us. The next 20,000 years may be difficult. To pull through, we shall have to develop spectacular imaginations and cosmic wisdom, but such things are not impossible for the venture¬ some. I have known hundreds of college students and I believe strongly that the overwhelming majority of them have that great sense of adventure. Lyle V. Mayer, Dean 6 Mary G.

STUDENT SENATE T HE Officers and the Senior Senators for the 1957-1958 Orange County Community College Senate were elected last May. They are as follows: President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Bruce Earle Pete Edraos Ruth Dietz Mike Hershkowitz Senior Senators: Bob Prause, Pat Darcy, Winnie Kipp, Don Ham¬ ilton, Lee Barkman, Ginny Bull. At the beginning of this school year, elections were held to choose our Freshmen Senators: Doug Neyer, Beth Rosenblum, Anita Colini, Gil Boyd, Steve Pappas, Nick Welsh. On February 20th and 21st two additional freshmen, Barbara Bascom and Bob Dederick became Senators. Four Freshmen Senators resigned from their positions for academic reasons. Flo Blake and Fred Schleutermann, runners-up of the October 24-25th elections, were automatically appointed as new Senators. NEW CLUBS ORGANIZED (approved by the Senate): Ski Club, Boarders ' Club, Pipe Smokers ' Club, Twirlers’ Club, the “Occettes.” A lounge committee, headed by Don Hamilton, was appointed to help keep the lounge in order. The lounge has been reorganized by Senate members; new lamps and ashtrays have been placed on the tables. The Senate approved a $200 grant in aid for an entering Senior 48 dent at the door of the lodge to collect tickets and money. “Silver Bells,” the Christmas Dance, was named by Joanne Contos in a contest run by the Senate. She won a free ticket to the dance for herself and her escort. Beth Rosenblum was in charge of the dance and did a very fine job. The Graduation Ball which will probably be held on June 2 is another dance sponsored by the Senate. The Senate has appointed a com¬ mittee to try to locate a place to hold this dance and Sha-Wan-Ga Lodge, last year ' s site, is being considered. Charlie Beck, an appointed member of our Senate, is vice-president of National Student Association. He has attended many conventions, SENATE OFFICERS First row, left to right: Winnie Kipp, Pete Edraos, Bruce Earle. Second row —Bill McGovern, Mike Hershkowitz.

They also appropriated $300 for the Doctor Spangher Fund. The Student Senate sent flowers to Dr. Miner who had an unfortunate accident which sent him to the hospital. One of the biggest projects of the Senate was their support of the SUNY Bond Issue. They par¬ ticipated in a parade in Middletown which in¬ cluded the jazz band, the cheerleaders, and other students of OCCC. At the beginning of the year and in January, a Welcome Frosh Dance was held to welcome all incoming Freshmen. This affair was sponsored by the Senate and was held at the Legion Lodge. The Senate appropriated a fund to have a stu- one in Ann Arbor at the University of Michigan. On October 18, 19, and 20 the members of the Senate attended a SUNY convention at the Legislative Chambers in Albany. On February 8, 9, 10 a convention was held at Oswego for the purpose of ratifying the SUNY constitution. All rules for the campus which include smok¬ ing, parking, canteen, cafeteria rules and many others are set up and approved by the Senate. Many of the rules are set up by the rules com¬ mittee headed by Bill McGovern who also serves as Judge and attends Senate Meetings. All meetings are held on Tuesdays at 1 1 :00 A.M.

APPRENTICE PLAYERS T HE Apprentice Players, Orange County Community College’s dra¬ matic club under the supervision of Dr. Manuel Rosenblum, was formed to give its members a better understanding of the different aspects of the stage. The officers of the Apprentice Players this year were John Biroc, president; Carla Decker, vice president; and Valerie Kovalcik, sec¬ retary-treasurer. This year, as in previous years, the club ' s major activity was the production of a play. This year’s production was Euripides’ story, The Cretan Woman, translated into English by Robinson Jeffers. The very able cast, under the direction of Dr. Rosenblum, included Katherine Canelides, Grace Greaves, Pete Swenson, John Biroc, Ruth Dietz, Faye Lipschutz, Charlie Murphy, Ginny Bull and Peggy Stacklum. Professor Ariel Dingwall, a professor of theatre at Hunter Col¬ lege, was guest speaker in March at one of the Club’s Dinner Meetings at Diana ' s Hotel. 50 Sal Rizzo, Grace Greaves, John Fanatico, Doug Neyer, Dick McGill, Mr. Meyer, Dominick Shallo, Dave Cunningham, Pat Murphy, Bill Mellin, Nick Cardaropoli, Ted Sahlin, Bernie Quinn, Lou Voit, Charlie Murphy, Bob Jessup, Ira Posner, Ulrich Schaaf hausen, Ivan Irkliewsky, June Cross, Carol Wenchel, Mike Hershkowitz, Joe Fister, Frank Ponte, Ed Merola, Jerry Rotter, Enrique Cruz, Carol Salmon, Diane Luskin, Faye Lipschutz, Carol Torrens, Roy Levine, Bob Schock, Beth Rosenblum, Paul Cooper, Frank Jannoti, Bob Clark. T HE purpose of this club is to improve the life of the student away from home by providing recreational and cultural facilities for all boarders. A group of students, boarders in Middletown, headed by Dick Mills, conceived the idea of forming an organization to carry out these plans. BOARDERS CLUB The Boarders Club became a reality in December of 1957 when the constitution was approved by the Student Senate. The first president of the club, Jack Reuter, resigned and was succeeded by John Fanatico who also resigned. The original officers were: John Fanatico, vice-president; Ellen Lindeborg, secretary; and Sal Rizzo, treasurer. The officers for this semester who are leading the club toward its goal are: Doug Neyer, president; Sal Rizzo, vice-president; Grace Greaves, secretary; and Dick McGill, treasurer. 51 T HE Business Club, one of the largest clubs on campus, has 70 members who are mainly accounting students, business manage¬ ment majors, teaching and business students, and secretarial science majors. All other students are welcome to join. The goal of the Club is to give its members a better understanding of today’s business world. BUSINESS CLUB The Business Club originated the Coffee hour, when they serve coffee and donuts to all students while the Jazz Band provides the music. This year, the Club held four such Coffee hours. The Club also sponsored a Tea for the Secretarial Science students with Mary Sahora, from the South-Western Publishing Company speaking; a hayride dance, and a Bermuda shorts dance at the Legion Lodge; and the Spring Formal held at the Meadow-Brook Lodge. The Club tries to help its members as well as the entire Student Body to become acquainted with men in industry and in the busi¬ ness field. This year, Robert Elting, a representative from IBM spoke on “Job Opportunities.” The Officers for this year were: President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Adviser Michael Hershkowitz Kathleen Ames Marion Davis Richard ZadanofF Mr. Charles Reilly 52 A COLLEGE newspaper is a necessary item in the life of the college student. It lets him know what is happening on campus and thus interest in college activities is created. In September, under the supervision of Gloria Eisenberg, the paper was off to a good start. In January Miss Eisenberg resigned and the paper was reorganized with Frank Pcnte as its editor. Four members of the staff represented OCCC at the New York Press Conference on November 21, 22, 23. The conference was held at Cortland State Teachers College. Sal Rizzo was nominated as the delegate for next year. Helpful pointers on the improvement of college newspapers were discussed at the conference. The members are willing to work so that the rest of the student body can be well informed about what is going on around campus.

The members visited the Hispanic Society in the morning, and in the afternoon the group saw a Spanish movie. In the evening they had dinner at the Jai-Alai Restaurant in Greenwich Village after which they motored to the Brooklyn Academy of Music to see Carman Amaya and her troupe perform. The club participated in the Variety Show and in the Christmas program by singing Spanish songs. During Pan American week, April 1 1, the club sponsored a dance at the Legion Lodge. The “Spanish Fiesta at the lodge was grace¬ fully decorated in Spanish fashion by the club members. A special feature of the evening was the entertainment performed by the club. Plans for a field trip to Mexico were discussed with much in¬ terest and excitement this year but had to be postponed due to many difficulties. 54 First row, left to right: Patricia Knickerbocker, Valerie Kovalcik, Andrew Averin, Alan Van Der Zee.

The group meets once a week to work with poetry and poetic prose for speech improvement purposes as well as the enjoyment of literature. Over the past few years they have presented a wide range of programs both on and off campus. These have included “John Brown’s Body” by Stephen Vincent Benet and “America Was Promises” by Archibald MacLeish. This year, instead of presenting a choral reading program, the club sponsored the first OCCC Oral Reading Festival. There were three reading hours of poetry, prose and drama followed by a Festival luncheon. Mrs. Thera Stearns formerly of the Speech Department of Michigan State University evaluated each of the reading hours and was guest speaker at the Festival luncheon. For the past three years the College Readers have sponsored a cake sale to help send a representative to the annual Apple Blossom Oral Reading Festival at Michigan State University. Under the direction of Miss Evelyn Steele the club concluded their activities at the graduation exercises by reading from the Psalms for the Invocation and Benediction.

This club is dedicated to the purpose of fostering and preserving Jewish cul¬ ture and contributing to the welfare and education of Orange County Community College students and to the community. With and help of its spiritual advisor, Rabbi Goldblum, and faculty ad¬ visors, Mr. Sussman and Mr. Meyers, the club was able to hold socials once a month at the local temple. During the year the group also held a coffee hour and a dance for the student body.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT V ARIOUS sounds can usually be heard coming from the fourth floor in Morrison Hall, the home of the college’s combined Carnegie Hall and Birdland. Music plays an important part in the life of college students here on campus. This has be¬ come evident by the increasing interest in the various music groups. The band and orchestra both participated in the Music Department’s “57 Varieties,’’ the annual talent show. At Christmas time both organizations again shared honors in the an nual Christmas program. The chorus’s reg¬ ular Yuletide broadcast also took place over the local radio station. In order to keep up with the times, the band and chorus took an early Spring trip “Around the World in Music.” To end the year these groups went on tour, visiting JAZZ CLUB Francis Bartolomeo, Steve Hopkins, Robert Carabia, Tony Grabliauskas. 58 MADRIGALS Jane Caughn, Roberta Werlau, Ruth Dietz, Gina Colao. several area high schools. Other performances included Open House and Graduation. Aside from the band and chorus, another popular group was the jazz band. This group could usually be heard performing for the Coffee Hour and other college activities. The Brass Septet has been another activity ensemble with performances on and off campus. The Madrigal Singers was another active group. The Singers appeared before service clubs and other college functions. The Girl’s Trio is another new group. We hope to hear more of them in the future. In the year to come, the Music Department will say goodbye to their quarters on the fourth floor of Morrison Hall. Upon completion of the new campus building, the Music Department will take up quarters in the new Student Union Building.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS T HE purpose of the International Relations Club is to foster an active interest and deeper understanding in the nations of the world. The club has joined the Collegiate Council for the United Nations, a college organization devoted to the United Nations. As a member of this organization, the club participates in diversified projects carried out on a national scale in support of the United Nations, such as the annual Collegiate Council for the United Nations Model General Assembly. Each participating college represents a United Nations member. The International Relations Club, representing Saudi Arabia, sent eight delegates to this year’s assembly at Wilkes College in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. In addition to their Collegiate Council for the United Nations work, the International Relations Club invites speakers to the college to discuss issues of international significance. Many of our students have travelled abroad, as Robert Dederick did while he was in the service. The club encourages them to show films and slides or tell of their experiences. The club also sponsors field trips and social activities. The officers are chosen for one year.

Father Rogers of the Carmelite order is spiritual director, and Mr. Moses Stivers is faculty advisor. The executive committee consists of Bob Kane, President; Deirdre Manning, Vice-President; Pat Darcy, Secretary; Karl Grimm, Treas¬ urer. During the meetings Father Rogers spoke on problems that occur in the life of a Catholic college student. Everyone is invited to these meetings as well as to the conventions which are held in New York City and New Paltz, New York. Bernadette McCormick attended the convention in New York City in January of this year. In March the members went to a con¬ vention in New Paltz. At these conventions the young people discuss their problems. The topic for this year was “Upstate Newman Clubs.’’ Our club has the problem of being located too far from the other Catholic Clubs in various colleges. The Newman Club numbers twenty members and meets twice every month in room 209 in Hudson Hall. As has been the custom in the past, the club sponsored a Com¬ munion Breakfast this past spring.

PROTESTANT FELLOWSHIP T HIS year the Protestant Club’s activities were highlighted by four dinner meetings held at local churches in the area. The guest speakers included Robert Bonthius, Ph.D., chaplain of Vassar College, and William Cole, Ph.D., of Williams College. The subject of their lectures and the main theme towards which the club di¬ rected most of its activities was “Preparation for Christian Love and Marriage.’’ The club had a book exhibit in the college library on this subject. Besides monthly dinner meetings, the club held two regular business meetings a month. At Christmas time the club provided funds for a Christmas dinner to help a local needy family. A trip was made by the group to the Middletown Seventh Day Adventist School, where they examined the educational standards of a school of this type as compared with public schools, and also gained an insight into how religion can harmoniously combine with education under proper supervision. During the first semester the roster of officers was: Allan Foster, president; Stanley Keasel, vice-president; Juanita Prestipino, secre¬ tary; and Tomasina Durante, treasurer. During the spring semester Stanley Keasel was president; Anthony Shostak, vice-president; Esther Club, secretary; and Juanita Prestipino, treasurer. The club was assisted by the guidance of Mr. V. Robert Heisey as faculty advisor, and the Rev. Herbert M. Barrall, rector of Grace Episcopal Church, the Rev. Joseph Hedges and the Rev. David Pierce, pastors of Webb Horton Memorial Presbyterian Church as spiritual advisers. 62 SKI CLUB T HE Ski Club was formed on December 2, 1957, under the di¬ rection of Ivan Irkliewskij, Harry Biccum and Gil Boyd.

On the social side, the Veterans Club started the college year off by sponsoring the first off-campus dance and by selling the first edition of the college newspaper. Along with the dance and many other functions, the Veterans Club also sponsored a spring picnic which proved to be a great success for all who attended.

VARSITY CLUB T HE Orange County Community College Var¬ sity Club is made up of men who have earned varsity letters in a sport. Earning a letter does not make them Varsity Club members auto¬ matically. They must first demonstrate that their interest is sincere in becoming a Service Club member. This is done by pledging for a week’s time. The purpose of this pledging is that if a person successfully goes through pledge week and is voted into the Varsity Club by its mem¬ bers, his interest is sincere. The Varsity Club members are called upon to devote their serv¬ ices to the College and to the Community. The purpose of the club is to be a service organization on and off campus, to familiarize the students of the college with the different varsity sports, to promote good sportsmanship on and off campus, and to bring athletes to¬ gether. There are two kinds of membership in the Varsity Club. The Collegiate member is a male student who has earned his letter in a varsity sport, and the Honorary member is the faculty adviser to the various varsity sports. The Club this year has done and plans to do the following things: The entire Varsity Club marched in the Mid¬ dletown Sports parade, along with the cheer¬ leaders and the Girls’ basketball team. The Vars ity Club had fall and winter sports schedules printed (cost of printing was again donated by the Student Activities and College Book Store). These schedules are sold by Varsity Club members at 10 cents each for the purpose of contributing money to: a. Middletown Little League. b. Middletown Babe Ruth League. c. To sponsor one under-privileged boy and girl to a year’s membership at the Y. M. C. A. d. Purchase the Athlete of the Year’s trophy and Plaque. e. A glass backboard for the new gymnasium. f. Donate $10 for the Soccer Player’s Ban¬ quet. The Varsity Club held a Pledge Dance at the American Legion Lodge on November 22, 1957. The Varsity Club will aid Mr. Chachis in the testing of 1500 of the Little League and Babe Ruth League Baseball players in April and May. 70 JOSEPH FAMELLETTE Outstanding Athlete of the Year 1957-58 A TROPHY is awarded each year to the stu¬ dent who has been selected as the Orange County Community College outstanding athlete of that year. The trophy is given by the Varsity Club, and selection of the student athlete is made by the vote of the coaching staff and the President of the Varsity Club. Qualifications fcr the award are athletic ability, faithful training, contribution to athletics, and satisfactory scho¬ lastic standing at OCCC. Joseph Famellette was the student chosen for this honor. He was by no means a star in all sports, but he was a star in football at Pough¬ keepsie High School and an outstanding Marine Sergeant before he came to Orange County Community College. Because v e have no foot¬ ball at OCCC, he came out for wrestling for the first time in his life, and he was very successful as he was in Tennis and Sophomore Basketball. Whatever athletic event Joseph Famellette participated in, he put his heart and soul into it. Above all, he was a gentleman at all times, participating with true sportsmanship behavior. He also did an outstanding job as a volunteer recreational leader for OCCC’s community serv¬ ice programs for our local youth organizations. Joseph Famellette was the year’s outstanding physical education major. His future plans are to transfer to Springfield College where he in¬ tends to complete his B.S. Degree requirements in Health and Physical Education. He also plans to do graduate work towards an M.A. Degree. - SOCCER S TUDENTS returning in September found the varsity soccer team practicing under the watchful eyes of coaches Chris Chachis and Robert K. Lake. Their task was not an easy one, for they had to replace nine letter men who had performed for the crack 1956 squad. The Orange men started their season off with an impressive victory over Pratt Institute. The Black Knights of the Hudson were our second opponents, and they rallied in the last three minutes by scoring four goals to give the Orange men their first defeat. Our third and fourth games were played at the Middletown State Hospital field, with a win over Union College and a three to three tie with East Stroudsburg. The biggest victory of the year was downing the Yale Frosh 2-1. Our next two contests found the Orange men losing two close games to Mitchell College and the Long Island Agricul¬ tural and Technical School by one point. The next encounter found us battling to a 0-0 tie with the Hofstra Frosh. The season was climaxed with an exciting victory over Union. At the conclusion of the soccer season, the college inaugurated an alumni game to be held every year. This year the alumnae proved to be the stronger of the two teams in a very exciting victory, leaving a score 1-0 on the record book. As a tribute to the entire soccer team we of the college are very proud of the sportsman¬ ship and teamwork displayed by the squad.

He was asked to survey the Junior College soccer coaches to ascertain their feelings. As a result of his poll of 250 two-year institutions, the National Association decided to establish a Junior College All-American Team. The COLT booters have been in intercollegiate competition for seven years with varying success. Outstanding players in the 1957 season who may return for the next year include: Steve Pappas, Ulrich Schaafhausen, Teddy Smiehorow- ski, Ivan Irkliewskij, Bill Barnes and Dennis Baldwin.

Robert K. Lake was coach for the Orangemen throughout the seascn. The team’s record was 7 wins and 14 losses. Although the boys had a losing season, it was a “winning season morally” as expressed by Captain of the team, John Modder, at the Winner Athletic Ban¬ quet. Mr. Lake made it evident that the Orange¬ men never ended their aggressiveness, although the team knew it was inevitable that they would lose at times. Because of the aggressive spirit, there were several games which might have gone either way. Every team has its outstanding player. As far as the Orangemen were concerned, this player was Warner Westrau of Kerhonkson, N. Y. Wes made the third team of Section 15 ' s All-Stars. He averaged 19.0 points per game for the season, playing all 21 games. Second to him was Bill Lord of Port Jervis, N. Y., with a 9.0 average per game and a total of 189 points for the season. Bill was the only other man to play in all 21 games. John Modder from Tuxedo, N. Y., was the only returning player from last year ' s team. He was third with an average of 7.0 points per game and a total of 148 points for the season. John was not only an asset to the team as a ball player but also a morale builder. Coming up late in the season were Walt Green of Chester, N. Y., and Tom Walters of Middletown, N. Y. They helped the team con¬ siderably when the courtmen lost some of their ballplayers at the end of the first semester. Little Lenny Henderson from Newburgh, N. Y., came through in the three remaining games of the season to reach double figures each game. 74 Cock row, left to right: Mr. Lake (Coach), Fred Schleutermann (Assistant Manager), John Modder (Cap¬ tain), Denny Baldwin, Gil Boyd, Tom Walters. First row-. Lenny Henderson, Walt Green, Bill Lord. Denny Baldwin from Goshen, N. Y., was injured for part of the season but returned and made up for his absence by playing commendable ball for the remainder of the season. Gil Boyd of Middletown often played during the latter part of the season. He is expected to return and be an asset to the team next year. Bruce Finch of Ellenville, N. Y., will also be a help to next year ' s team as he displayed promising potential this year. Also returning will be Wes Westrau, Walt Green and Bill Lord. Bob Prause, the team’s manager, and his able assistant, Fred Schleutermann, were essential to the team. Without their carrying out the duties of managers, the team could have been dis¬ organized. The basketball team’s advisor was Dr. M anuel Rosenblum. He is considered one of the most likable persons on Campus and cer¬ tainly proved this to the team with his moral backing. To Mr. Lake and Dr. Rosenblum the team extends its gratitude. 1957-1958 BASKETBALL TOTALS FG FM-FA TP GP Ave. F.Ave. W. Westrau 133 134-229 400 21 19.0 58% W. Green 24 C- 22 56 12 4.66 36% B.

WRESTLING W HEN the mat season rolled around, Chris Chachis, varsity wres¬ tling coach, found himself with only four returning veterans from last year’s varsity squad. They included Willie Mellin, Jim Walyus, Pete Lazier and Stan Sadowski who was out for most of last season due to a knee injury. There was quite a job in store for Coach Chachis as there were twenty-eight men trying out for the team. The team was aided by the former OCCC star Paul Starky, the college’s first student assistant coach. This strong, enthusiastic, hard working, good looking squad grappled their way to a 6 and 2 record. To supplement the weekly practice at the Y, the team met at the famed “Wrestling House,” located at 19 Wawayanda Ave¬ nue, where most of the squad lived. There they worked out in their spare time under the help of Willie Mellin and Jim Walyus. Some members of the team who are graduating intend to transfer to Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania. Willie (Big M) Mellin, a standout in the 147 lb. class, came to us from Blair Academy. He was elected Captain of the squad. Willie holds the very impressive record of being the only undefeated wrestler in the history of the college. Jim (Tiger) Walyus was a standout for two years in the 130 lb. class. Jim was known for his guillotine, and he compiled a two year record of 12-4. Pete (Rib-Crusher) Lazier, although handicapped with a night-time job, proved to be very tough at the 157 lb. slot. Stan Sadowski, the good looking wrestler with the smashed nose, was outstanding with his defensive wrestling in the 137 lb. class. All of these men intend to further their education at a four year institution. 76 Left to right: John Krepick (Coach), Gilbert Boyd, Charles Beck, Douglas Neyer, Tony Amelio, William Mellin.

Combining skill with sportsmanship, the orange and blue attired lassies traveled about the state adding the name of OCCC to the official score books of winners. Several towns of the area may be very proud of their girls; Barbara Magie from Chester smashed up points from all angles as did Ruth Dietz from Goshen and Winnie Greenier from Rockland State Hospital. On the other side of the basketball court, the oppos¬ ing team’s forwards were left pretty much out in the cold with Helen Karamachedis and Grace Diana producing quite a defense to break through. The highlight of the girls’ season was the excellent playing against N. Y. U. The Varsity proved to themselves and to the under¬ standing and happy coach, Miss Diana, that basketball is up and coming in Orange County. But, as Miss Diana said, “It is the whole team that makes a season a success.’’ Date Fri., Dec. 6 Fri., Dec. 13 Tues., Jan. 28 Sat., Feb. 1 Tues., Feb. 1 1 Fri., Feb. 21 Thurs., March 6 Fri., March 7 Tues., March 11 Opponent Shelton College West Point West Point Shelton College Vassar .

She is marked for pep, appearance and how well she knows the cheers by Miss Diana, the newly elected captain and Mr. Chachis. The captain and co-captain are elected on a secret ballot by the members of the squad. This year’s captain is Joanne Contos and co-captain is Winnie Kipp. The squad had two practices a week. At their last meeting, Barbara Magie was elected captain of the cheerleaders for next year. The newly chosen squad for this year had their first opportunity to perform at Pratt Institute. This was their first soccer game and also the first victory. Except for Yale and Farmingdale, they attended all soccer games CHEERLEADERS They started off the basketball season with the Annual Alumni game. During this season, Oblate Seminary was the only game the cheerleaders could not attend. There was one over-night trip to Danbury and the following afternoon was spent in New York City. That evening the squad cheered at Farmingdale. Other activities included a Soccer Pep Rally in October and the Soccer Pledge Dance to which the cheerleaders lent their support. The whole season ended with an all Sports Banquet where the cheerleaders were presented with their letters and certificates. This has been one of the best years for the Orange County Cheerleaders consisting of seven regulars and three substitutes. 80 SOCIAL ACTIVITIES Virginia Bull and Winnie Kipp. SOCIAL EVENTS Sept. 20—“Welcome Frosh Dance’’ Sept. 27—Business Club “Coffee Hour ” Oct. 8—Veterans Club Dance Oct. 21—“Tri-Party Dance” Oct. 24—Business Club “Coffee Hour” Nov. 6, 7, 8—Music Dept.

EVENING DIVISION George B. Erbstein Director, Evening and Extension Division Harold E. Shively Assistant Director, Evening and Extension Division EVENING-EXTENSION AND COMMUNITY SERVICES DIVISION T HE Evening, Extension and Community Serv¬ ices Division continues to play its role in carrying out the Community College philosophy of serving the community. This division offered instruction to over 2000 students during the 1957-58 academic year. These students come from all walks of life to take advantage of these offerings for self-development and advancement and range in age from 18 to 71 years. The Evening Division student body elected an Evening Division Student Council this year for the first time in the history of the College. This group, under the leadership of their president, Marie Coffman, handled all student activity affairs of the Evening Division. The council made several contributions to the College of much needed laboratory and library equipment. The council also sponsored a dance in cooperation with the Day Division and obtained the services of several lecturers who presented talks through¬ out the year. The Extension and Community Services Divi¬ sion continued its service to teachers, dentists, doctors, lawyers, contractors, plant supervisors, banking personnel and people in the field of insurance and real estate. In addition to the on-campus offerings, courses were held in Mon- ticello, Port Jervis and Poughkeepsie, New York. The students in the Evening Division are tak¬ ing full advantage of the facilities offered. This is seen by the fact that 1 2 evening students are graduating this year. 88 ADELAIDE FREER CARL ESPENSCHIED JOSEPH CAMPBELL SAMUEL LEONARDO 89 1 _ !s MMi r R w j ! ,. : || m «m i m V.
