PRESENTED BY THE STUDENTS OF PANZER COLLEGE OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND HYGIENE EAST ORANGE, NEW JERSEY T H E 1 4 7 L Y M P I A PANZER COLLEGE OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND HYGIENE PANZER=throtigIi the years Panzer College of Physical Education and Hygiene celebrated its thirtieth anniversary this year. It was founded in September 1917 when the nation was engaged in the first World War. State legislatures throughout the nation passed laws which made physi- cal education compulsory in public schools. The Pier- ,son Act of 1917 provided for A Course in Physical Training to be established and made a part of the course of instruction in the public schools of the State of New Jersey. This act became a school law, but there was not a normal school in the state for the preparation of teachers of physical training and hygiene. In the fall of 1917, therefore, a group of interested men and women established the Newark Normal School of Physical Education and Hygiene to meet the new educational demand. Randall D. Warden and Matt- hias H. Machery, supervisors of physical education in the Newark schools, were elected President and Vice- President of the new organization. The institution, incorporated and accredited, offered a two year normal course for the training of both men and women teach- ers of physical education and hygiene. The first director, John Morris, was succeeded by Henry Panzer who was nationally known as an authority in physical education. As the institution developed professionally, both its enrollment and its prestige increased. This neces- sitated the purchasing of additional property, and in 1926 the Normal School moved to East Orange, New Jersey. Immediately after the change in location, the school was reorganized and became a teachers ' college. In December 1928, the State Board of Education of New Jersey approved the four-year curriculum and authorized the college to grant the degree of bachelor of physical education. The board of trustees changed the name of the institution to Panzer College of Physi- cal Education and Hygiene in honor of the president, Henry Panzer, who died some years later, in October 1932. The trustees selected as his successor Dr. Mar- garet C. Brown who had been the Dean and Registrar of the college since 1921. This year marks her twenty-fifth year of service to the college. In 1938, the State Board of Education gave the trustees author- ity to confer a degree of bachelor of science in educa- tion. This year, 1947, finds Panzer College engaged in its first year of post-war training. There has been a tremendous increase in the enrollment of the students, eighty per-cent of whom are former service men and women. To accomodate this sudden influx of stu- dents, building enlargements an d improvements are again in progress. As democracy has met its challenge so does Panzer extend its educational services to those men and women who have served democracy so well.

Page 13 lENIOR CLASS HISTORY pfw ' ,o«5 In the summer of 1944, the class of 1947 started off ' }fjg coming of the fall term, our number increased greatly. We passed through orientation, to be greeted by initiation week, but we survived and soon became accustomed to the acceler- ated program. « ' J ll l cV some of our mem- ' Miv bers were more advanced than others in the acceler- ated program, they were included as members of the Sophomore class. But never the less class elec- tions were held and Lou Peragallo was elected president, when Robert O ' Connell had to resign the position, to enter the armed service. Thus the class of 1947 moved into the fall term complete with classes and extra-curricular activities. Before we realized it, the spring term ended, and intersession had begun. After intersession ended, we were allowed time to take just one deep breath before we were swept off to Aquatic School at Narrowsburg. This was an experience long to be remembered. Following this experience, some of the students returned to summer school, while others secured camping positions, or just enjoyed the summer months. The fall of 1945 gave us the right as Sophomores to initiate the new incoming freshmen, which we did in proper style. The fall term also brought the problem of classification of pupils, to Miss Wacker, the registrar. Some students were enter- ing the term as second semester Sophomores, while others were just beginning their first term. At this time also, the College welcomed back many of its former students from the armed services. More men students returned to the College in February 1946, and the problem of classifying our group was solved by the breaking up of the class into sopho- more and junior groups. But the two groups stayed together in spirit. With the closing of the spring term, we said good- by to Mrs. Beach, Instruc- tor of Women ' s Athletics, who was leaving the Col- lege to take a position overseas. The Big Sister Club responsibilities were turned over to Ruth Twombly as president, and Doris Vivian as sec- retary. Some students started intersession, while others went off to Aquatic School, or National Life Camp. Summer session started, with Mrs. Caulfield as Instructor of Wo- men ' s Athletics, and before we realized it, our last year was approaching. With the closing of the summer term, we said good-by to Dr. Greenawalt, Dean, who left the College for another field of work. The fall of 1946 brought forth many activities. Orientation, a tea for the new freshmen women, sponsored by the Big Sister Club, and many other social activities. The first, and one of the most important items on the senior list of activities was the election of class officers. Robert Swanson was elected president; Doris Vivian, vice president; Selma Neuman, secretary; James Malone, treasurer; Carmine Giordano and Ruth Twombly, represen- tatives of the Athletic Council; and Rita Ferguson and Andrew Nazzari, representatives to the Stu- dent Council. A short time after this, the pro- duction of the college annual was undertaken, and the senior ball held at the Greenbrook Country Club. The class dinner and commencement exer- cises were drawing near, and we realized it would not be long before student teaching was completed and graduation would be upon us. Our parting thoughts are with those veterans who did not return. However, it was our privilege to have many of the returning men as members of our graduating class. .  «13-P, ?e 16 nzer College terans Organize Trackmen to Practice Soon Schedule Pending Late in March, weather permit- ting, Coach Howard Gorman will ■ lU f or trackmen.

Many joys were woven way into our hearts during the course of our days of teacher training. Sorrows have made an occasional appearance, but these have definitely been shrouded by the dauntless courage of the blase seniors. Insurmountable tasks were given to us, but we surmounted them ; mountains that touched the sky were placed before us, but we have reached their pinnacles. If we could replace the mid-night oil we have burned, the country would never have to worry about the -fuel shortages. The seniors have now made their lamps brighter ; so in order to complete their finale in a blaze of glory, we do hereby affix our walrus, we mean (trained) seal, to our last will and testament. We bestow : TO THE FRESHMAN CLASS. Our remaining one fluid ounce of the original 10,000,000 gallons of mid-night oil. All of this is for you. TO THE SOPHOMORE CLASS. Our Knights of the Round Table bequeath their glittering Armour so that you may become Star Hams in the near future. TO THE JUNIOR CLASS. All the implements necessary to surmount the treacherous mountain crags and ocean whirlpools. These including diving units, jet- propelled planes, parachutes, etc. Naturally this equipment is well worn, but what is left is all yours. TO THE INCOMING STUDENTS. By rights we should will you everything— you ' ll need it. However, we consider it our duty to take care first of the students we already know. We have not forgotten you entirely though, because we still have one peck of apples, which apparently will not last very long with the added faculty; a book pertaining to the Far East, to aid you in orientation; and one bottle of carcass toughener to be applied generously in preparation for initiation; plus our Best of Luck. TO PROFESSOR GORTON. One well tailored zoot suit to be worn only on gala occassions such as Christmas Festival, Homecoming Day, etc. TO DOCTOR COPP. Our hope that when you have all your visual aids catalogued and housed, there will be room in your office for yourself. TO DOCTOR BROWN. We leave the joy of seeing and knowing that your coveted dreams of new building facilities and equipment are at last becoming realiza- tions. May they long continue. We feel that aforementioned gifts have been wisely and equally distributed. Despite our already superabundant philanthropy, we have reserved the right to place on auction some excellent articles heretofore unmentioned. AMONG THESE ARE: 1 . A magic wand to wave at the professors. This is to be used only when in dire need. 2. One Alladin ' s Lamp, for it consumes only one tenth of the mid-night oil devoured by popular makes. 3. A book on Phrenology — How to Win Phrens and Influence People. The foregoing is the legal will and testament of the Cla.ss of 1947. In witness whereof, we hereby subscribe our name and seal on this first day of June in the year of our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-Seven. Page 18 Wii.r.iAM C. Nemick, Exeailor. J J SOCIAL CflUNDtR V A- THE JUNIOR CLASS We the present Junior class, entered college as the largest Freshman class in the school at that time. Because of the war and the accelerated program the group was broken up before long, leaving only six members of our original class. However, the returning veterans have made it possible for we Juniors to enter our senior year as a much larger class. Successive changes have given the class several sets of officers. Louis Peragallo, how- ever, served as our president most of the time until his recent entrance into the Army. As Juniors, the class has elected William Hale as president; Elaine Richmond, vice-presi- dent; Virginia Cemarada, secretary, and Harold Lefkowitz, treasurer. Looking back over the three years of college life, we have many fond memories. As Freshmen, we experienced a great thrill in leaving for park classes until the Sophomores administered the traditional hardening process. In general, the experiences we encount- ered during the initiation stand out as events long to be remembered. As a highlight of the sophomore year, the class sponsored a Hallowe ' en Dance, which turned out to be one of the most successful affairs of the term. In addition to this, our swim parties, tea dances, senior balls, and athletic games have all aided in giving us a well rounded college program. Considering the group as a whole, you will see that we have done our utmost to profit from this program. Page 20 THE SOPHOMORE CLASS The Sophomore class, consisting of sixty-five students, twenty-six of whom were girls and approximately thirty of whom were veterans, had the distinction of being the first post-war class to enter Panzer. After the first two weeks of school, during which we underwent our initiation, we finally settled down to the more serious side of College life. During our first year at Panzer, we became known as the class which did things, for we were well represented in almost every extra-curricular activity of the school, and a good number of freshman names appeared on the honor roll. It was also our social duty to sponsor a square dance. This without a word of exaggeration was a huge success, so much so that a repeat performance was given this year. As the class entered its second year, the number of its members was reduced to thirty, thirteen of whom were girls. The first two weeks were spent in the training of the new Freshmen in the ways of Panzer College. Following this short period, we again settled down to business and proceeded to try to keep our good reputation. This not only included work, but also acquainting ourselves with the large numbers of new students. Our officers this year have been: president, Richard Forster ; vice-president, Dorothy Greulich ; secretary, Antoinette Serruto ; treasurer, David Roderick. 3 Page 21 W f § 4 A J t- FRESHMAN CLASS With the increase in enrollment this year, brought about by the influx of veteran students, the Freshman Class became a combination class. The older half, or upper class freshmen as they jokingly refer to themselves, were registered in February 1946, while the younger half of the group entered school in September of the same year. Composed almost entirely of veterans, the February half of the class contains the largest number of ex-servicemen in the college. The lone girl, charged with keeping all these former doggies, gobs, gyrenes, and fly boys in check, is Miss Dorothy Grieve. The September half of the freshmen contains three ex-servicegirls among its veterans. Class officers for the February freshmen include: John Lang, president; James Farquhar, vice-president; Daniel Marzano, treasurer; Marvin Speidel, secretary; Harmon Field and Miss Grieve, Student Council representatives; John Feeney and John Mineur, Athletic Association representatives. The September group has, as its officers: Edward Skuria, president; Natalie Slack, vice-president; Glynder Fowler, treasurer; Dolores Kunkel, secretary; Ethel Pasvolsky and Richard Weber, Student Council representatives; Jane Farley and Philip Graham, Athletic Association re presentatives. The proudest boast of the class is that the touchdown twins , John Kerr and Daniel MacGregor, who accounted for all of the Panzer football team ' s points this fall, are among its members. Page 22 JTUDENT COUNCIL JPRINGBOARD Because of the increase of students in the college, the Student Council has been strengthened consid- erably with the mature views of the veterans who have enrolled. The enlarged student body and the many improvements in the building have pre- sented new problems which the student organiza- tion had to face throughout the year. During the past year, a great many changes have been witnessed in both the appearance and the content of the Springboard. Operating under a predominantly war-veteran staff, the school paper has returned to an improved, printed version with pictures and has aiTiliated itself with the Associated Collegiate Press. Folk Dance The Folk Dance Group is one of the most interesting extra-cur- ricular activities of the college (whose membership is now 44 students). The group has become increasmgly popular since the re- turn of our men. Demonstration programs, supplemented by in- formation concerning the origins of the dances, have been pre- sented for various community groups. Modem Dance Composed of twenty women and one man, the Modern Dance Group has brightened up the past year with its splendid perform- ances. This club presented a demonstration in the Christmas Festival, which represented the yuletide spirit, and also helped usher in the Easter holiday by per- forming in the spring ' demonstra- tion. Who ' s Who Who ' s Who Among Students In American Universities and Col- leges, is a national organization whose main purpose is to serve and honor outstanding and de- serving students in the colleges and universities throughout the country, devoid of politics, initia- tion fees and dues. The factors for consideration are character, scholarship, leadership and extra- curricular activities. 24 Lib Consisting of a representative from each class, the Library Com- mittee functions as a service to the college, attempting at all times to produce and maintain harmony between the student body and the activities of the li- brary. It is the committee ' s duty to state amounts to be fined, and make decisions concerning various other matters. Big Sister Club The Big Sister Organization which recently became a club, is composed of junior and senior girls. Each semester, these stu- dents receive names of incoming freshmen girls, who, upon arrival, become their Little Sisters. It is the duty of the Big Sisters to acquaint the freshmen with their new environment, through a varied social program. Red Cross Unit The College Red Cross Unit, which consists of 29 members, was organized in December 1946; thus it is the newest organiza- tion in the school. The members to date have served as Motor Corps drivers, have aided in ac- cident prevention, and have col- lected gifts for the veterans hos- pitals. Page 23 Glee Club The thirty members of the very popular group, The Glee Club, meet every Monday evening to engage in their joyful activity, smgmg. Students, faculty and friends of the college enjoy the annual performances of this group at the Christmas and spring demonstrations, and at the com- mencement exercises. The club also performs occasionally at as- sembly programs. The Octet For the first time in the history of the college an Octet has been added to the non-athletic schedule of activities. The group began with the usual number of eight, but due to increased popularity, a few new members were admitted this semester. The group entertains at assemblies and social affairs. One of the newer organized clubs of the college is the Drama- tic Club. This club deals not only with the technicalities of acting, but also with the art of make-up, the use of properties, and stage management. To study the practical application of the work, the group this year is visit- ing various theatres.

Teams up and down the eastern seaboard had been bolstered by returning service men, and what looked on paper like an easy schedule, turned out to be one of the toughest in Panzer history. Nevertheless, the team did admirably under the circumstances, winning four, tying two, and losing two. Both losses came at the hands of the strong Stroudsburg team, which went through the season undefeated. A great deal of joy resulted when Panzer defeated their arch rivals from South Orange, Seton Hall, early in the season and then repeated the trick again at the end of the season. The Athletic Council is an organization of im- portance in the athletic and social life of the College. It is this group which is entrusted with the responsibility for promoting and supervising participation in intercollegiate athletics for men and women students. Using the policies of the school as a guiding philosophy, the Athletic Council has established and maintained a relationship with other colleges for maximum participation by students in a wide variety of athletic competition, striving to keep these activities purely amateur in nature. Near the close of the school year the Athletic Council arranges and conducts a banquet and dance, one of the social highlights of the year, at which the athletes, who individually participated in the various Athletic Association activities, are feted and presented with varsity letters and awards. ?e 30 c c E R T E A M T L L T E A M Football at Panzer, as at most small colleges in the first year of peace, was a rather limited affair. From the beginning, the main concern of the coaching staff, was to get the men into condition and playing as a team. It was not until mid-season that the team began to look like a playing squad. Then, just as they began to get rolling, a whole host of injuries beset the squad, and what should have been an easy win over Montclair State Teach- ers College, turned into a heartbreaking 6-0 loss. The following two weeks, however, the team quickly bounced back, tying Lowell 6-6 and beat- ing Trenton State Teachers College 6-0. Their strong surge at the end of the season against bigger and heavier teams, augurs well for next year ' s team. This year ' s Baseball team has compiled a record which should stand for many a year to come. Their fourteen wins against two defeats are notable achievements. The two defeats came at the hands of the strong City College of New York and Army teams, but their victories included such highly regarded baseball squads as Rutgers, Ford- ham, and Brooklyn. Panzer, known of yore as a pitching team, came up this past season with a squad which literally tore the cover off the ball. They were always dangerous at the plate. Some indication of the all-around strength of the team might be gathered from the accolade bestowed upon them by Prof. Gorton, their coach and severest critic, when he stated, This is the best aggregation Panzer ever had. A S E B A L L T E A M Page 31 The Basketball team, perhaps the smallest in Panzer history, achieved some notable triumphs this season. Utilizing the speed and sharp shoot- ing of their two forwards, Nat Stokes and Frank Proietti, and the fine defensive play of Hal Lef- kowitz, the team notched ten straight wins before being defeated by the Seton Hall team. Thus far, with the season two thirds over, the team has a record of 12 wins against 3 losses, and all indications point to another successful season for the Gorton men. A E M T E B N A L W L o T ■ E M E N M Another season is over and once again the Women ' s Basketball team has been a credit to Panzer. The season opened with the traditional alumnae-varsity game in which the varsity was victorious. Highlighting the season was the mem- orable trip to Farmville, Virginia, where the team played Farmville State Teachers College. The squad, including fourteen members, played games at Staten Island, Philadelphia, Trenton, Monclair and at the college. Although the victories were not numerous, the team did a splendid job in regard to team play. Pape 32 The Fencing Team meets every Thursday after- noon at the Orange Y.M.C.A. Thus far the team has had two meets with Rutgers and Brooklyn. Both of these were lost. During the month of Marcli, tiie team gave a demonstration at Millburn High School, where various weapons were exhibitetl in actual bouts. M E W F E N G I N o T M E E A N M S The Women ' s Fencing Team was organized in 1939 and received recognition as a team from the Athletic Association in the 1939-40 season. This year the squad consists of eight capable members who had the honor of arranging and holding the Intercollegiate Individual Fencing Meet at our college. Two of the team ' s members, Rita Fergu- son and Natalie Slack, placed in semi-finals of this important affair. Other meets were arranged with local colleges and the team was quite successful. Ze 33 BOWLING CLUB For the first time in many years, the Panzer women students appeared again on the bowling alleys. The Bowling Club consists of approxi- mately twenty members who meet once a week at the Bowladrome. With each passing week the indi- vidual scores of the members gradu- ally became higher and higher, until a few reached the 200 mark. Badminton Club The Badminton Club, with its many new members, has been ex- tremely active and enthusiastic in carrying out its program this year. Although no tournament was held, each player had a fine op- portunity to improve his own skill. The club meets on Thurs- day evenings and really enjoys two full hours of good playing. ' mi The Ping Pong Club ' s twenty- one members meets for one hour of activity on Monday evenings. Ping Pong is often regarded as an easy sport, but any member of this year ' s club will quickly dispute any false ideas. As a part of the club program, tourna- ments were held, which provided much excitement. Pa e 34 n 1 b Mr. George Aakjer Mr. Marvin Ackerman Mr. and Mrs. L. Addario Mr. and Mrs. C.
