7 4e 1948 PUBLISHED BY llte Student iady of Rjabettk fjuniat Galleye North Chili, New York For more than half a century all glorious and grand Our Alina Mater now has stood an honor to the land; Amidst her fields of waving grain, her fruit trees loaded down, She stands a noble monument of glory and renown. The Staff of the 1948 Chesbronian would have you view this book with the aim of making its contents an ever- living reality in your own life. Our purpose throughout these pages has been to por¬ tray our college, its personalities, its work, and its play in the light of its noble ideas — Christian ideals of spirituality, honest endeavor, wholesome work, and constructive leisure. Whether this book brings back fond recollections of yesteryears or challenges you anew, we trust that your life will be a living testimony of your determination to prove faithful to your Master and to uphold the traditional ideals of your Alma Mater. Editor . C. Wesley King Assistant Editor - Clyde Van Valin Business Manager - Roger 1 essaro Faculty Adviser - - - - Neil Pfouts Dedication While hurrying through life we often overlook those of great character who dwell among us. But here we pause to honor one whose greatness is ever present and over flowing, yet is attended with a humble heart and helpful hands. His cheerful smile and untiring efforts make him a cherished friend of all who know him and an outstanding example of unselfish labor to all with whom he works. As a token of our appreciation for his enthusiasm, for his sacrificial efforts, and for his unfailing interest in us, the Staff of ’48 sincerely dedicates this volume of the Chesbronian to Ralph B. Welsh. . . . . “Within her halls made famous hy great men who labored here.’’ Merlin G. Smith A. B., A. M., Ph. D. President of College; Pro¬ fessor of Mathematics, Physics and Astronomy Rev.

At times during these first two years in college we have longed for that divine spark-genius— but casting aside such wishful thinking, and persisting in our studies, we have achieved our goal — graduation. Now that the long-awaited time has arrived, our elation at having realized our aim is strangely mixed with reluctance. We are not afraid to face the future. Roberts has implanted within our souls ideals and patterns which will enable us to live successfully; but we have made so manv friends and have shared so many smiles and tears on this campus that when we graduate we must leave a part of ourselves behind. For the future we have pledged ourselves to persist in our pursuit of success— spiritually and materially. We are starting out with an absolute trust in God, pleasant memories of the past, and abundance of faith for the future — to make lives that will be complete. To Prof, and Mrs. J. Eslie Beeson, whose guidance and enthusiasm have made our fun more pleasant and our business less irksome, our lips say “thank you” for our hearts.

As a class, we have worked diligently in the hope of realizing our ambition. In retrospective view of the past we consider our Freshman year a great success. Our first class function was held at the beautiful site of Flamlin Beach, bordering Lake Ontario. The echoes of merriment from the spacious pavilion still ring in our ears. Plans were early laid for Freshman-Sophomore banquet and committees were set to work. For our second semester function we gorged ourselves with an enormous ham¬ burger fry in the dining room. Quantities of pop and ice cream disappeared down hungry throats. Oh, yes, and who will forget having to get up at the unearthly hour of 12:00 a. m. just to give those fastidious Sophomores a send-off breakfast for their skip-hike. But our school memories would be sadly incomplete were there not included recollections of our faithful faculty advisers, Mr. and Mrs. C. Alton Dailey. Their loyal cooperation in steering class activities, in helping just where help was needed, and most important, in just being friendly, have won places for them in our hearts. As we come to the close of another school year, plans for the future begin to occupy our minds. We realize that we are the ones to carry on . We know we can, and will!

With commencement, the work and worry are almost forgotten in the memories of the friendships and fun and the won¬ derful thrill of achievement that climaxes the four years of study. Wherever next year may hnd us, each of us will remember with gratitude the contributions Roberts has made to our physical, mental, social and spiritual life. The laugh-filled chapel programs; the never-to-be-forgotten hayride; the imploring spectators at the basketball games to buy our candy, pop and ice cream; the admiring remarks about our class pins, are some of the many events which will live in our memories. We owe much of our success as a class to Mr. and Mrs. Bowen, our faculty ad¬ visers, who have shared both our work and play. 38 June Beeson Batavia, N.

This organization is composed of two students from each of the college classes, two representatives from the high school classes, two faculty members, the president of the Student Association, and the Dean of the college. The officers and committee heads of the Senate this year were as follows: Chairman, Dean Updyke; Vice chairman and Social activities chairman, Robert Winger; Secretary, Clara Snow; Treasurer, Clarence Barnett; Scholastic activities chairman, John Alden; Religious activities, Douglas Canfield; Athletic activities, Ralph Cromwell; Citizenship activities, Roy Baker. This governing body was influential in sponsoring a new tennis court, ticket sales for varsity basketball games, and programs on reverence and etiquette. Reso¬ lutions, such as the giving of athletic awards, were handled by the Senate likewise. The Senate also worked hand in hand with the Administration and faculty in handling misdemeanors on the campus and in giving the students a democratic chance in running their own activities. 1 1 i i n m 11111 1 111 1 1 ii 111 1 1 ii 111111 1 1 11 ' 50 TTT TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT 111111 III I III 11111 HI IH T II1111IIlllllllI (Left to right)—Douglas Canfield, Frank Kreps, Oscar Canfield, Howard Thompson, Dale Rhome, Howard Lewis, Mnester McKay, Ralph Cromwell, Charles Lucie, Richard Weber, Ray Evans, Robert Winger, John Alden, Myles Campbell, Jack Atkinson, Jerold Campbell, Otis Stovall, William Rudd, Ted Kiffer ' Vetereut The Roberts Veteran League was organized in 1946 and has proved to be a very successful organization upon our campus for the past two years.

DEBATE TEAM afetuf, @lct Roberts Philosophy Club was first organized on December 2, 1947. In true Greek tradition, the members of the club consider themselves lovers of wisdom in quest for truth. They have accepted the challenge of Socrates “Know thyself”, because as Socrates said, “an unexamined life is not worth living.” The first con¬ sideration of the club concerned those searching questions of John Ruskin, “Whence did I come ' ? What am I? Whither am I going?” Besides this, the club has discussed at great length the problem of Communism, its history, and its bearing upon man today and upon man in the future; likewise the problem of evolution has been a topic of discussion. All its members agree with Lord Bacon, “A little philosophy inclineth a man’s mind to atheism, but a depth of philosophy bringeth man’s mind about to religion.’ President - Vice-President Secretary - Adviser Dorando Cerulli Robert Newhard Vida Belardi Dean LIoward E. Updyke ' De ate team Roberts Junior College Forensics under the direction of debate coach, Professor J. Eslie Beeson, entered inter-collegiate competition with great interest this year. The topics for debate and discussion were: Piesolved, that the Taft-Hartley Labor Bill is unfair to organized labor unions; and Resolved, that a Federal World Government should be established. After defeating Oswego Teachers College in their first home appearance, the team journeyed to the Geneseo College campus and participated in a panel discussion with members of the G. C. speech class. On March 12 the team traveled to Oswego Teachers College campus in a return match. The R. J.

Mrs. Dale Rhome sang the contralto solo and three guests from Houghton College, Alice Wright, Virgil Hale, and Stanley Clattenburg, sang the soprano, tenor and bass solos respectively. Under the direction of Mrs. Marian M. O’Brien the chorus of some 100 singers brought Handel’s masterpiece to a joyous completion by render¬ ing the final “Hallelujah Chorus”. Miss Evelyn Gott was at the piano and Mr. Torn Grierson, of Rochester, at the organ.

Because of the purpose of the organization, the repertoire of the choir is com¬ posed entirely of sacred music. This year’s theme of the program was a choral adapta¬ tion of “Christian’s” experiences as taken from “Pilgrims Progress.” Beginning their concerts early in January and being booked to the middle of May, the choir has sung on the average of twice every Sunday. The annual spring tour was directed southward to Philadelphia and Washington, D. C. This excep¬ tionally full season was climaxed by a home-coming concert given on May 30. This organization has been a wonderful means of Christian fellowship to its members, a challenge to its leaders, and a blessing to all.

The honors this year were given to the victorious Red team. To attain this championship it was necessary to trample on an ever-fighting, tough Black team for four or more of the seven possible games. The final tally worked as follows: The Reds got off to a good start by taking the first two games 6-0 and 7-0. The Blacks held them to a scoreless tie in the third and rallied to take the fourth game 12-0. The vital game on Thanksgiving Day resulted in one of the most exciting, hard- fought games on Roberts campus. The Blacks needed but to win, to force the series into one more final game for the supreme decision. The Reds were out to win and did so by a score of 12-6 and also the series for 1947-48. All in all true sportsmanship and good clean play characterized every Saturday game. iiiniiniiiiiiiirT ni iiii n iii i ii m i ii iii iinim i iii ii iii i ii i iiiii i iiii ii i iiiiii riiii ii ni i i iii i i iii i iiiii i im iii miiii i iiiiiiii ii iin 64 BLACK BOYS ' FOOTBALL (Left to right)—Roy Evans, Ralph Cromwell, Jack Atkinson, Ted Kiffer, Ellsworth Morey, Mnester McKay, Charles Lucie, Robert Winger, Robert Hendricks, Howard Smith, Charles Beahm, Jim Alley BLACKS Positions REDS England L.

Each team was greeted by a round of cheers as they came on the court to test the strength of their opponents. Because of the keen competition between the teams, every game was packed full of excitement and suspense. From the very outset of the series the Red girls were determined to recapture the victory which they lost to the Blacks last year. With the help of Art Ilorwood, as their coach, the Reds achieved their ambition. These several victories were spear¬ headed by the high scores of Ruth Jordon, Irene Frisbie, Mary Ridall, and Gratia Holtz. The most heart-breaking game of the season was the first one which ended in a score of 21-20. In the other games of the series the Blacks were no match for the fast-moving, hard-hitting Red team. The losing team, however, exhibited genuine sportsmanship and good basketball technique. The girls who set the pattern for the Blacks were Bea Clement, who averaged 11 points per game and Eleanor Brewer who ran a close second. 66 i m 111111 m i h i i ii i 111 1111111 11 11 u 111 11 1 11 itfti ' i miimiii i i rrr r n 111 11 m 11 11 11 1 m 11 1 1 1 mi 111111111 1 11 m 11 11 1111 m i 11 m 1111 m GIRLS ' BLACK BASKETBALL TEAM (Left to right)—Joan Tessaro, Elinor Williams, June Brunk, Virginia LaQuay, Martha Poston, Connie Larson, Ruth Kingcaid, Bernice Clement SCORES Blacks 20 19 19 18 At the end of every basketball season, a varsity is chosen from both school teams to play against a team from the community.

With the exception of the last game played with Genesee junior College, our cagers have maintained a record of being undefeated on their home court during the past season. The team displayed the fine Christian sportsmanship which characterizes the athletic department here and the entire school. Immediately after the tryouts early in the fall, the squad began intensive training under the guidance of Coach Alexander. On Nov. 15 the Roberts Raiders fought their way to victory by upsetting the Caledonia Baptist Church team 51-31. In their first encounter with Genesee and a second one with Caledonia, the Raiders suffered setbacks which only spurred the team on to capture the next nine consecutive games from accurate-shooting and excellent ball-handling opponents. Despite several other reverses near the end of the season the quintet successfully rolled up a record of 14 wins and 5 losses. Such victories were made possible by the hard-hitting spirit of the team and by the careful coaching techniques.

This was the first leg of their journey to McPherson, Kansas, for the Tournament of Lree Methodist colleges of North America. The Roberts five were victorious over Spring Arbor Junior College for the third time this season. Lebruary 17 found the team at Central College. Roberts was unsuccessful in five starts in the tourney, but was awarded the team sportsmanship award. Each man who was privileged to make this jaunt feels that his life has been deeply enriched by the experience.

Roberts, Go! Hit ’em high! Hit ’em low! Go! Roberts, Go! And Roberts did go! With cheers led by the three peppy cheer leaders, how could they help it. Too bad they weren’t at Kansas. The girls, Virginia Burns and Marie Reining, wore black ballerina skirts and white sweaters with big chenille “R’s ”. “Windy”, the cheer king, wore trousers with a sweater like the girls’. Spectators enjoyed the cheers such “Oh, fight!” which Windy introduced by walking out on his hands. By their precision of movement, their rhythm, and high enthusiasm the cheer trio was the means of spurring the varsity on to good teamwork and often to victory. r TENNIS CHAMPIONS (Left to right)—Frank Kreps, Ray Evans, Bruce Blowers 1 ?e t U One of the sports enjoyed by many on the campus including faculty and students alike, is tennis. Last fall, tennis fans showed a real interest in the sport by partici¬ pating in the tournament, both singles and doubles. In the singles, the last set was played between Ray Evans and Bruce Blowers, with Blowers the victor. The scores of the sets were Evans 6-4 and Blowers 6-2 and 6-0. Ray Evans and Frank Kreps were the winning partners in the doubles. Their victory over Harry Frederick and Quentin Bucher in the final playoff was 7-5. Since the re-surfacing of the second court, both courts have been kept in constant use during playing season. —i 73 FALL - WINTER - SPRING - SUMMARY Sept. 10 Registration week.

S. is in the area served by Roberts. Many young people seeking admission to evangelical colleges cannot be accepted for lack of room. Our national life will be more completely secularized as more students attend college unless the evangelical colleges also enlarge their regis¬ tration.

Evangelical Christian program, pleasant accommodations and surround¬ ings and adequate self-help opportunities. Fully Accredited By the University of the State of New York.
