Rather than stumble through the past, we look eagerly forward to the future. Thus, abounding with knowledge of our chosen profession, we turn our backs to the obstacles already overcome and prepare to sur- mount those ahead. We, the Class of 1949, witnessed the first post-war Olympic Fes- tival. We saw it as a great spectacle of brotherly love, an exhibition of a peaceful world at play. It is in this worldly sense that we pledge our- selves. Knowing full well that the tranquillity of all nations rests in part upon the continuance of these meetings, founded on a traditional love of sport, we shall beckon to new participants and applaud all vic- tors, be they friends or enemies. We shall not falter in our objectives, to preserve peace and foster international good will, in this our field of endeavor. In this spirit, we turn to commencement. k i aKX, OF INTEQ WALTER BALABANOW 753 Bergen St., Newark, N, J. Baseball 1, 2, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 4; Student Council 1, 2, 4; Class Vice-President 1, 2, 4.

Our class is no exception, but we shall not forget our first three years for we feel that they have been great successes in all respects. Our class has been a leader in all fields of the school ' s program. From our ranks have come outstanding scholars such as Richard Nazzari, Robert iMears, and Marie Kowaleski. Among our most famous athletes are Fred Ingold, Jim Cavanagh, Ted D ' Alessio, Ray Schnitzcr, Domenic Parise, Grace Maffey, and Catherine Paskert. Never to be forgotten are the Big Five, the singing of Paul Beck and Alan Farner, and the officiating of Bob Feeney. We as a class have traveled far together, and, as we round the final turn of our college career, we are looking forward to a strong finish as Seniors. Soph loinore CL ass The biggest problem in our class this past year was determining who of those that started with us were Sophomores and who were Juniors. After Luttgen ' s Class accelerated into the third year at the end of the summer, our class, like most others at the college, was left with only two sections — one of which had started in February 1947, and one which had entered in September of the same year. Despite this appear- ance of confusion, we were, with the helpful advice of Dean Stapay and the leadership of our president, James Evans, able to hurdle the second obstacle on our road to graduation. Without a doubt our class played a prominent part in the activities of the college. Who will forget the prowess on the athletic fields of Frank Acocella, Jerry Grogan, Eddie Groh, Joe Guidetti, Maurice Briefer, and John Koronakos? Nor were the girls ' teams neglected, for Eda Becker, Frances Capone, Irene Vicendes, and Tina Angeles held varsity berths. We were well represented in all clubs as well. Among other things, the huge success of the Halloween dance given by our class will be long remembered. Although we realize our class has accomplished much in our two years at Panzer we are not content to stop with this. In our next two years we will con- stantly be looking toward the achievement of even higher goals. C res i esnman CL ass- The Freshman class was composed of two groups appropriately called the February and the September freshmen. Our first and quite natural impression of Panzer was one of uncertainty. However, in a short while we were going along with the steady current of Panzer ' s friendly atmosphere. Initiation day for our girls was one of the most enjoyable experiences of the year — at least for the Sophomores. In no time whatever our class became orientated to the social and athletic programs of the college. The ranks of all clubs were bolstered by our members. In athletics Ted Monica, Frank Matullo, and Robert Nichols cavorted with the soccer team, and Joe Guth- rie, Bill Clark, Tony Lanni, and John Marra played with the basketball team. Joan Sullivan and Rose . 4arie Battaglia played with the Women ' s Basketball Team. The baseball season saw Paul Holick, Bob Decker, and Bill Emrich on the diamond. 25 PICTURHS COURTESY OF NEWARK EVEN ' liS ' C NEWS OLYMPIA STAFF Through the tireless and never ending efforts of the 1949 Olympia Staff this book has realized its ma- turity. Were it not for the counsehng and guidance of our faculty advisor, Mr. Flynn, this goal would never have been achieved. STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, governing organization of the school, is in charge of all student activities. Each class is represented by four members. The Council brings the faculty and the students into closer con- tact. 28 OLYMPIA EDITORIAL STAFF No orgnnization in mod- ern civilization can exist without leadership. Our lead- ers, the Olympia Editorial Staff, personally adminis- trated the planning, arrang- ing, and completion of this annual. ATHLETIC COUNCIL The Athletic Council is responsible for promoting and supervising participation in intercollegiate athletics by all students. The council also serves as the clearing- house for all athletic awards. SPRINGBOARD The Springboard gathered and published newsworthy items about Panzer and Pan- zerites. Through editorials, stories, and features, the newspaper presented whole- some philosophy, ideals, and criticism, for student con- sideration. BIG SISTERS The Junior girls, commonly known as the Big Sisters ' aided the freshmen girls in becoming better acquainted with the school and school life. Both the Big and Little sisters enjoyed a social program which included a picnic, bowling party, luncheon, and banquet. BADMINTON CLUB The fun encountered in the play and tournament of the Badminton Club was unsurpassable. With the aid of the fine leadership of Mr. Charles Humiston the caliber of play throughout the season showed constant improvement. 30 Projectionists Club The Projectionists Club was one of the new activities instituted at Panzer, during 1948. A group of experienced student operators assisted Mr. Stapay in orientating newcomers to the field. PING PONG Close competition marked the Monday night meetings of the Ping Pong Club. After an exciting season, the club ' s program was brought to a close with a hard-fought tournament. GIRLS ' BOWLING CLUB Through the activities of the club, the girls Nere able to develop better skills and techniques of bowling. Awards were given for the three highest averages of the season. MEN ' S BOWLING Under Mr. Washnik ' s guidance the Bowling Club proved to be a great success with the men students. It consisted of six inter-club teams, from which the five best bowlers were selected to represent the college in intercollegiate competition. GYM CLUB Students desiring e.xtracurricular work in apparatus were given their opportunity by the Gym Club. The popularity of the club was evidenced by the large roster of members. 32 SERVICE CLUB Whenever chairs had lo be set up, or curtains had to be hung — whenever anything had to be done — the Service Ckib members were always prepared to do the job. PANZER PLAYERS The Panzer Players, un- der the direction of Miss Larson, presented a variety of skits and plays. Outstand- ing presentations included those at the Thanksgiving Tea Dance, the Christmas Festival, and the Spring Demonstration. RED CROSS The Red Cross Club served both the college and the community. Drivers were furnished for the local mo- tor corps; volunteers don- ated blood to the Essex County Blood Bank; and a committee from the club es- tablished and maintained fire drill regulations in the college. GLEE CLUB The Glee Club, directed for the second 3 ' ear by Mr. Dugdale, enjoyed one of its most successful seasons. Much of the success of the club was also due to its accompanist, Mr. Schmiedle, and the fine support given by the student body. HOCKEY CLUB The girls ' held hockey club proved very successful this year. Freshman girls arrived en masse with a few old timers. The field hockey team that branched out of this club proved to be a Top Notcher! 34 LEADERS CLUB The purpose of the Lead- ers Club was to develop leaders to assist in class- room instruction, and to pro- vide opportunity for those who wished to exercise lead- ership abilities. The mem- bers of this club were of great assistance to the in- structors and the students. OFFICIALS CLUB New to the extra-cur- ricular activities was the Officials Club. Its purpose was to train students in the techniques of officiating com- petitive sports. WHO ' S WHO Students selected for Who ' s Who must have a high academic rating, be ac- tive in extracurricular ac- tivities, possess good char- acter, and be a potentially useful citizen. This year five Panzer students were sel- ected for the honor. Jjance ( roup lips The national section of the Folk Dance Club is known throughout New Jersey for its unusual talent in presenting a program of Slavic dances for public recitals. The club spent an enjoyable season giving presentations at high schools, educational associations, and clubs. With the beating of torn toms and the swaying of hips the Hawaiian group made quite a name for itself. Hulas and war chants made up the remainder of the program of the Folk Dance Group. F. T. A. The Henry Panzer Chap- ter of the Future Teachers of America is part of a great state and national educa- tion association which helps prepare students for their future profession. The chap- ter, organized in 1947, has provided many interesting and educational programs for its members. MODERN DANCE Doing a tour jete, a high leap, and a split, the girls of this club have danced their way to success. They were always a popular favo- rite at the Christmas and Spring demonstrations and have proven what a fine art dancing is. MARSHALLS The white carnation is a familiar sight to every Pan- zer guest. Behind the flower is a Marshall, that ever- efficient Johnny on the spot. Under Dean Stapay ' s direction the club received our guests at social functions and rendered many other helpful services. ' : lff -f?ii C ootbaii Panzer College ' s 1948 football team, coached by Herman Wische, was well seasoned with returning veterans and strengthened by many promising fresh- men. Due, however, to injuries and superior opponents, Panzer failed to compile a winning record. Once again the Panzer basketball team emerged from a nineteen game schedule with a very impressive record. Prof. Gorton completed his twenty-first suc- cessful season as coach of the Panzer Hoopsters. The squad consisted of nine lettermen and four freshmen. it Lens {Basketball 40 The soccer team ended one of its most successful seasons by winning the mythical championship of the newly-formed Metropolitan Soccer League. Tlie team finished the season with a record of 7 wins, 1 tie, and 2 losses. c , occer ujaseball The outlook for the 1949 Panzer baseball team was bright. A number of Letternien returned to form the nucleus of Prof. Gorton ' s squad. In addition a large freshman class supplied welcomed talent. 41 cJrack Returning to bolster the squad were a number of track veterans. Under the guidance of the new coach, Mr. Tyszkowski, the team compiled an impressive record. Our divot diggers, although strong in spirit, were forced to yield to experience, and thus were unable to score a win last season. With added experience and new material this year ' s team showed great improve- ment. Qolf C. 42 Panzer was once again well represented on the apparatus. An excellent showing was made in all meets by the Gym team. Next year ' s squad will miss the familiar faces of Gene Ford and Ted Reed, who will be lost through graduation. cJc ennis For the third successive season Panzer College was represented in the Held of tennis. Although the team did not set the world on fire, they spread a warm feeling of friendliness wherever they traveled. C f zTi cJeani 43 m omen s [Basketball The women ' s basketball team, under the direction of Mrs. Roberta Caulfield, played host to eight wom- en ' s teams from colleges in this area. The team was captained by the Misses Natalie Slack and Barbara Munder. Panzer opened the 1949 fencing season with a vic- tory over Pace Institute. The team ' s continual success was due to the constant efforts of Mr. T , who insisted upon practice, practice, practice. eani 44 Win, lose or draw, the Panzer College cheering section, led by four pretty co-eds, gave a great deal of moral support to our athletic teams. These girls deserve much credit for a successful athletic season. ofieid uTocneii Lyheerleadi For the first time in the history of Panzer, the college was represented by a girls ' field hockey team. Panzer opened against Scott High, and then en- countered Drew, Montclair Teachers, Centenary Junior College, and St. Elizabeth. The season ended with a favorable four and one record. ers 45 THE HARRIS DINER North Park and WasKington Streets East Orange, N. J.
