Why, that ' s the Plattsburgh State Teachers Col- lege. No, it hasn ' t been a college long — April 13, 1942, the Feinberg bill was passed — P. S. N. S. became a college! That certainly was a great day — the end of classes — speeches — snake dances through the town. Memories that will always live on. Yes, the building itself is one of the newest in the State. Fire completely de- stroyed the old building in ' 29. From its ashes arose the present structure — bigger and better — a new start towards the realization of hopes and dreams. And to- morrow? — That will bring more tangible evidence and further proof that we are ever growing — culminating with achievement of the goals toward which our leaders are striving. Already blueprints have been approved for a beautiful new home economics building — situated at the southwest corner of the campus. But that ' s not all — plans are also under discussion for a residence hall — a technological institute — a home management house . .. . Plattsburgh of the future! The tower? We always think of that as a symbol of strength holding all the traditions of the college. Spiraling ever heavenward, it has sheltered all — the power of aspiration is in its soul. You see, Plattsburgh is more than just a college — a place of higher learning — it ' s imbued with the spirit that goes with youth — the hope, the dream, the ex- pectation — the courage to challenge life. . 6 . Can we face reality, you ask? These war years have brought many changes and new ideas to P. S. T. C. While watching history whisk past, we have not been idle. Amidst confusion, chaos, and a bewildered world, we — as one small part — have contributed to the preservation of our democratic way of living. First, our boys — it was the War Curriculum which established the foundation that better enabled them to give their best. Then, our girls — the establishment of the United States Cadet Nurse Corps in ' 43 was proof we harkened to the call for nurses. Already some have left the campus — joining various affiliated hospitals to further their training. — Foreseeing the need for teachers, we followed the prece- dent — all over the country — beginning an accelerated course by which students might be graduated in three years — rather than the usual four — if they so chose. And then, our other efforts — the college as a whole volunteered — because of the man-power shortage — to help save the large apple crop at the Chazy Orchards. This became one of our proudest war-time traditions. Each September — for the past three years — we have taken time out from classes. Faded dungarees — gay bandanas — plaid wool shirts — buses echoing the strains of one fish ball — en- thusiasm that does a job and caps weariness with satisfaction — that ' s the way it has been. Red Cross work — the Mobile Blood Bank, War Fund, rolling bandages — War Bond drives, selling War Stamps, nightly epistles .... together they mean something. Therein is the idea of what our college means to us. It is up to you to carry on — for only what YOU put into Plattsburgh will be the Pitts- burgh which lives on. • 7 • ' Pedication Education — an age-old institution — key to under- standing of the outer and the inner world. Education es- tablishing principles of approach to no specific problem, and yet to every problem .... residing not in book knowl- edge alone — rather in development of all faculties of each precious individual — education — emotional, social, phys- ical, as well as intellectual — Education integrating our America — enlightening self and society .... one answer to life ' s crying needs — .... Education — means to an end, not an end in itself — more than a parchment marked with a B.S. degree — a key, not an ornament — with which treasure doors open — To that — so understood — we offer our Book — and, with the Book, our heads, our hands, and, most of all, our hearts. 8 9 IO Gut Itiumrhate ojj •(idvfoe ' c oc, Maty Q ne and fiico Who accepted the responsibility of making the class of ' 46 one of which P. S. T. C. could be proud? Doc, who helped put the goals of the class before us and played an important part in formulating our democratic philosophy — to bring us together for one purpose — to dedicate ourselves to our col- lege and our profession. Mary Jane, who brought us together in an informal social way, so that we might know better our classmates and advisers. And Chico — observing us from his vantage point — giving us something to look up to. All three our inspiration. • I I Whoie aijaltationi become tealitiei In the (?oLLege he ietvei 12 Through the record of our past and the interpretation of our present, the Class of 1946, the first class admitted after Plattsburgh attained full college status, has envisioned the Plattsburgh State Teachers College of tomorrow. The years of our history show an ever expanding service to the children of the State, an ever increasing awareness of the challenge which our college will accept. In this Yearbook of 1945 is evidenced the full realization that the present tragic years create a great moment in history, a time when men and women everywhere dream of a world of justice and of peace. With historic perspective, the Cardinal revives the years that have gone and with vision proposes, through the larger contribution of our college, an ever greater acceptance of our part in the creation of a better world. That the staff of the Cardinal and all those who have assisted in its preparation and publication have had this sense of history, this awareness of things to come, and in addition a deep desire for our college to give to the utmost is a tribute to them and to all of us. We congratulate the Class of ' 46 for the history and the inspiration of the 1945 Cardinal. Charles C. Ward 13 Soatd oft l iiitoti Hon. Harry P. Kehoe, President Pittsburgh Mr. John S.

S. T. C. for our third year. Seeing the many familiar faces (and those strange and new) made us stop a moment to glance back at our first two years sheltered by the towers of the College. We were a first class — first college class to enter — first to initiate the War Curriculum, with a class of over seventy boys — a chance to boast the largest class thus far. The Freshman Hop, in keeping with Army, Navy and Marine reservists, with silhouettes and military atmosphere, proved our class to be strictly war-minded. Cooperation among classmates was shown at our first All-College Supper — the boys arranged tables and the girls, whether Home Ec. or Elementary, obtained ex- perience juggling trays. Class Day proved to be something worth waiting for — wands of blue and gold proclaimed us silly Frosh about to become sophisti- cated Sophs — the rest of the College heard our song for the first time. 20 The beginning of our Sophomore year found us eager to return to our Alma Mater — and just a little more secure than one year before. It was now our turn to haze the Freshmen — seemed wonderful to supervise dandelion digging, serenading, learn- ing of rules — to have doors opened for us and to wield the gavel at court — St. Valentine ' s Tea at the Red- cays ' — all red and white — lost most of the men of the class to the Armed Forces. With the exception of the College Door Canteen, so aptly presented by the faculty, social activities became sparse — that is, until March 6, when the Navy invaded the town and changed Plattsburgh Barracks to Camp MacDon- ough. First, dances with bell-bottoms; then, with Midshipmen, and then, with Ensigns. Life was interesting once more — evening clothes were unpacked from moth ba lls for the first formal of the year, the Sophomore Soiree. Our theme 2 I this time was a spring garden with its wishing well, rambling roses and trellised archways. But all our activities weren ' t on the social side. Amidst dates and phone calls, studies took their toll. And now we are Juniors! Proud of the responsibilities and obligations that are ours at last. A year filled with hard work — interspersed with good times. Fare- well to the Navy and welcome Air Corps and Pittsburgh Barracks once more. December brought snow and the Yuletide spirit — Christmas Tea at the Redcays ' , Vesper Service and Carols, Christmas Cantata — Off for Christmas recess — time flies and we with it. Cramming, exams, report cards (oh, dear) and a new term. — Once again vows to work harder. Spring and Junior Week — anticipated for three whole years. Cutting classes, Junior Banquet, Junior Picnic, crowning of queen — What fun! We rule the roost! And then back to dignified Juniors — almost Seniors.

Gordon Chapman was the first member of the Plattsburgh State Teachers College to give his life for his country. A former student at Syracuse University, Gordon transferred to P. S. T. C. in 1942 as a member of the War Curriculum. He was called into service in the early part of ' 43 and gave his life on the Anzio Beachhead on March 28, 1944, during one of the first Allied invasions. His interest in sports and hearty good-fellowship will always be remembered by all who knew him. 43 H 1945 Was it possible? At long last — Seniority rights and privileges — the final stages of preparation before we should be on our own. A mingling sensation of feelings — four years to look back on — years of fun, hard work ( ! ) , trepidations, and triumphs — good years — all of them — we ' ll miss these now familiar surroundings — yet — wasn ' t this what we ' d been striving for?

They have proved their right to be upperclass- men. The Sophomore-Freshman party entertained over 280 in a memorable gala affair. The cup was very sweet that first week but soon turned to gall as the poor innocent Frosh found out what they had to contend with. But ' twas all in fun — and really showed the good sportsmanship of both classes. • 50 • They lost two former class officers — Claudine Tobin replaced Priscilla (Diz) Armstrong, who had answered the cry for president last year. Roma Mikus re- placed Dorothy Dana as secretary. Theirs was the dance with Camp MacDonough — the gym camouflaged with evergreens — Snow ' s orchestra. It was informal — but one of the most successful dances on record. Sophmoronity — they often call it — intangible people, these would- be Juniors. Almost halfway through P. S. T. C. — two more years to make as memorable and satisfying as the days they have already spent inside the ivy-covered walls. Friendship is the keynote of the Class of 1947. We can truly say — All hail, ' 47!

Leaving home towns and families for the first time — from high school to college in one big step. Plattsburgh — the first lonely and strange night in a new environment — There was registration — it seems as though there were scores and scores of cards, blanks, and questionnaires to be filled out. Meeting upperclass- men for the first time — being shown around P. S. T. C. by their sopho- more sisters (and brothers?) — Say, where ' s the north bulletin board? — How do you get to the girls ' locker room? Then the traditional red and white Freshman caps and handbooks — and, ah, something new has been added — the bibs with name, address, and phone number printed on with bright red nail polish — Picturesque? Very much so. Only two weeks — and short ones thanks to apple-pick- ing — of initiation this year. Wipe that grin off — and sing the first two verses of The Alma Mater — The Freshman dungaree ball — a truly original idea that took the College by storm. They finally started to settle down and study. Along came Thanksgiv- ing vacation and homeward bound — Remembering every detail in glow- ing accounts of college life at Pitts- burgh. In December they saw for the first time the impressive and beautiful Nativity Pageant. Then vacation — longer and better. January was a month of mid-years — Cramming — Report cards (re- member THAT day!) Naomi Ven- able elected president. Smooth working and efficiently organized committees — making the class of ' 48 another memorable class. Truly a class to be proud of. They now stand ready to welcome the class of 1949. They will in their years at P. S. T. C. prove to the College that their individuality and friendliness make them a class we can never forget. 55 • Ttcskman Jlht OFFICERS President Naomi Venable Vice-President Mildred Martell Secretary Doris Brown Treasurer Sally Duignan Delegate Joyce Livingston Marjorie T.

At first the Council was composed of the officers of the House — acting in the same capacity — and members of the three standing committees. With the increase of activities and enlargement of com- mittees — including some students not members of student government — membership was decreased to include only otficers and chairmen of the committees. Thus we now have a small, efficient group — meeting twice a month — which initiates and clears all problems arising in the college — before they are sent to the House to be acted upon.

Yes, and they have been at it for quite a while — no wonder they are so efficient! Beginning ten years ago — the aim of the House was to give future teachers an under- standing of — and participation in — democratic living. Functioning at first merely with terms of agreement — to enable the group to work freely and recognize their needs — the House adopted a Constitution in 1940. Class representatives — faculty appointees — designated members of approved clubs and organizations — answer to roll call — providing the strongest students on campus with an opportunity to be in most responsible positions. Discussing problems of consideration which may become rules or regulations — this delegate body is indeed kept busy.

Miss Backus and Mr. Wiley realized the necessity of having an Athletic Board. This Board is for the purpose of bettering intramural sports for Plattsburgh State Teachers College. A representative from each class was elected and the Athletic Board began functioning in that month. The Athletic- Board meets every spring to plan intramural sports for the following year. To encourage more participation in girls ' athletics, the Athletic Board arranged a system of awards which will replace the previous letter system and thus provide a greater challenge and incentive. To win an award, students must meet the requirements in at least one of the four team sports and at least one of the individual sports. Students must be named on at least one of the honor teams chosen by the Physical F.ducation Instructors. Awards: First year — Class Numerals; Second year — 6-inch Chenille School Letter; Third year — College Athletic Pin; I- ' ourth year — College Athletic Medal. MEMBERS Jean Tolotky Senior Marjorie Garland Junior Gertrude Harper Sophomore Barbara Kenfleld Frethman 70 VolUyUU Volleyball proved to be a great attraction last fall with the four classes entering en- thusiastically into exciting competition. Honor teams were formed for the first time this year, composed of the twenty girls who displayed the greatest amount of skill dur- ing the interclass games. Hadminton Many students participate actively in sports throughout the year. Badminton is both an outdoor and an indoor sport featured at P. S. T. C. Practice for the annual tour- nament affords pleasurable exercise as well as a competitive spirit. Calisthenics Up-down! Follow-me! In-time! One- two! Three-four! P. S. T. C. students are keeping their health (and figures) the hard way. Exercise and calisthenics play a pre- dominant part in the curriculum under the course entitled Physical Education Activi- ties. • 71 • SiUnf Snowy slopes and nippy air led our out- door girls to don their ski suits — grab their skis — and rush out to Conway ' s several times this winter. Some co-eds have re- ported that it is a painful art to acquire — but many have advanced from the rudi- ments to the mastery of this intriguing sport. 7lald jockey l ield Hockey — Rapidly becoming a must on the sports calendar of P. S. T. C. Spring and fall, thee shin-guarded creature ' , swing mean clubs, yet arc replete with the good sportsmanship that we invariably find in ' the other gender in sports. ' Tumbling is one of the newer activities featured on our campus list. It ' s exercise, fun and sport executed through a series of for- ward rolls, hand stands, flips and dives. Of course they ' re a little stiff afterward, but no one is surprised. These co-eds earn their let- ters the hard way — and wear them proudly. 72 Tennis Tennis holds a place of esteem in the sports world at P. S. T. C. Every spring the courts are dotted with young hopefuls swinging at the elusive white pellet as it goes whizzing past. But — who knows? — Per- haps our annual spring tournaments will produce a future Alice Marble. Arrows are again darting across the cam- pus at P. S. T. C. as the girls strive for proficiency in one of the oldest and most renowned sports of all time. The partici- pants find it anything but dull. After all, Robin Hood found it exciting. Soft B Ll Yes, you ' ve guessed it! The College has gone all out for Softball again this year. Slinging bats with the best of them — slid- ing along in the mud — pitching like vet- erans — all goes to show that they aren ' t sissies .... And from present indications, it looks as though this session will surpass all previous ones in the softball field. 73 Third row — LaPierre, Brooki, Marlell, Bouchard, Kill hum, MeCiilloHgh, Hodges, Kilbourn Second row — Rauscb, Doubraia, Hastings), Collins front roll — Bassett, Allen, Azzaretti trance Sink OFFICERS President Secretary-Treasurer Helen Macei Poi.i v Brooks Delegate to Home Alys Collins Outing (?lul OFFICERS President Secretary -Treasurer Sally Duignan Eli abi-th KksgINS Delegate to House Gkacl Hi ki mii i n Second rou — Wind, Williams, Collins, Sanborn, Sheen, Betar, llerendeen, Pfagenbacb, VanDusen, Wakeh.

In the spring of 1939, Miss Backus introduced the competitive game to Plattsburgh State Teachers College. Since that time, the game has been an annual event, played after interclass basketball season. The sixteen outstanding players from the interclass games are chosen by Miss Backus to represent Yale and Princeton. YALE VS.

Networks of each sorority have grown up all over the state, giving a con- necting link among the state colleges. Before the war, convocations were held, drawing us even nearer together. Now that this is impossible, our interest is quickened by the spirit of rivalry among the different sororities. Yet, harmony reigns through the efforts of the Inter-Frat Council. Rushing, dances, Hell Week, banquets and informal get-togethers all form an important part of our college life. 76 Vki Kappa Oil K 1 Rs Marion Bakhuk President Flr$i Sent.

Outfitted in yellow blazers and white caps, these girls are well known about the campus. Origi- nating as a literary society at the Geneva State Normal School in 1872 — a chapter was formed in Platts- burgh in 92. There are seven active chapters now — keeping in contact by means of the Clio Daisy. One of the oldest sororities — the Delta Chapter has added another memorable year to its history. Tradi- tional cider and doughnuts for all frosh — Beachcomb- ers ' Party — fun, food and friendly informality for all pledgees — cooperation with Interfrat Coffee Hour. Then it was Clio Day — Chung-Hwa Ming-Chu presented in assembly — endless rushing for last min- ute preparations — stage fright — a Chinese tea and exhibit in the afternoon — a requested repeat per- formance for the A. A. U. W. Pledge time — Pledge Banquet and twenty-three timid pledgees to guide through Hell Week. Formal initiation — the pledgees forgiving us our cruelties (?) and becoming our sisters. The Senior Breakfast — next on our calendar — reminiscing and sad farewell — farewells to friends — fun and sorority life for another year. 77 OFFICERS Iki ni Thimbu i PmiJeal fi t Sf . Ji anxi B.

This, blended with leadership, knowledge and wisdom, has helped in no small way to make the A.D. ' s what they arc. Theta Chapter of Alpha Delta was established not quite a quarter of a century ago with about twenty-five members. First meetings were held at the Young Woman ' s League on Broad Street. Now back to the present. Coke-tails, served in the traditional Alpha Delta style, offered a welcome introduction to the scads of new faces — members of the Class ' 48. Again, members of the Frosh class, as celebrities, were greeted at the A.D. Dude Ranch for the Rush Party — the sleigh ride. Life photog- rapher, games, entertainment, climaxed by pancakes and sausaee in the Western wav — dessert with Miss Backus as hostess — assembly and Emanon, which proved to be a qui , program. Gaiety and seriousness hand in hand all year. Evening gowns, flowers, food, solemnity, a few tears and hearts that felt so good at the Pledge Banquet. Then — ugh — the pledgees and Hell Week — need more be said? Formal initia- tion and beauty and simplicity. A look to the future and the Farewell Banquet to the Seniors and another happy year — to enrich our lives.

Now we leave one more fun packed year behind — with the Agonian Hour for the Frosh — then the celebration of the first anniversary of the Agonian Room for a rush party — helped willingly with the Interf raternity Coffee Hour — reluctantly said good-bye to Miss Sullivan as adviser and welcomed Miss Kelly in her place — then Pledge Banquet at the Hotel Witherill with pledging at midnight in the beautiful Agonian tradi- tion — midst horrors, fears, and laughs. Hell Week proving the pledgees ' characters — sisterhood given in return — a year of sparkling Agonian memories termi- nates at the Farewell Banquet in June.

Ten years later, the members changed its name to Footlights Club when Normal became College. Last year, the system originated of awarding pins to Thespians active two years or more. Annually, Foot- lights Club presents a one-act drama — supervises pro- duction of the Christmas Pageant. Among the suc- cesses of the Club are The Tenth Word, Saturday ' s Children, The White Iris, Brief Music, Faces of Deka, and Cry Havoc. 80 mitotic Sjaaeck (2lub A third successful year for the Verse Speaking Choir — organized in the 1942-43 school year.
