8 IE k S ANXX$X X 7i! L'OERTY OF THE CUNK xmgw. THE SAINT MARY OF CHAPEL ANGELS Since the original chapel of the Franciscan Order bore the name of Saint Mary of the Angels, it was quite natural that, when in 1950 our college chapel was blessed, ittoo should be placed under the same patronage. The first pious act in the life of St, Francis, after he had renounced the world and embraced the religious life, was to restore the crumbling and all but - derelict chapel of Mary of the Angels. It was in this sanctuary that he was granted a vision of Jesus and His Blessed Mother surround- ed by a host of angels. Filled with astonishment and reverence, the saintly Francis prostrated him- self upon the ground and adored the Divine Mai- esty. Upon hearing the voice of the Lord teIIing him to petition a favor, Francis requested the grace of fuli pardon for all who, being contrite and having confessed their sins, would visit that little sanctuary. Mary interceded and the favor was granted This small chapel, regarded as the cradle of the Franciscan Order, soon became a shrine for innumerable pilgrims. We the class of 1956, looking back with gratitude on the many spiritual exercises that have been held within the walls of our Saint Mary- ,gafsthe Angels Chapel, and the many, fruitful mo- 19mg of prayer and mediation that we have spent here, reverently and prayerfuliy dedicate this SAGA to Saint Mary of the Angels.

One of the best things Siena can have given you is the more intimate contact with the faculty which is peculiar to the smaller college. The priest faculty, in particular, as your spiritual fathers, will follow your fortunes with fatherly interest and concern. I hope you will return that interest through visits to us and through active participation in Alumni affairs. Until the recent generous action of the Ford Foundation, Siena has had no endowment except the living endowment of the con- tributed services of the Franciscans. We have counted our resources in people rather than in money. In that spirit we want successful lives, good lives, for our Alumni far more than we want their money. If you are successful, Siena will continue to be blessed by the Provi- dence that has sustained her in the past. You are the test of our purpose; God will judge us through you. I hope this farewell will not be for long. In any case, it is not goodbye but God be with you. Sincerely yours, :lf. 5WIJ Ogng; 0??? FR. EDMUND F. CHRISTY, O.F.M.

The Delta Epsilon Sigma is the National Catholic Honor Society of Catholic Uni- versities and Colleges. Siena's Beta Psi Chapter of this organization was founded in 1954. In the three year of its existence on the Siena campus, membership has grown to twenty five. The requirements for election to the society are very rigid. The student must main- tain a scholastic index of 2.2 and exhibit such character traits as to make membership beneficial to the society. In the Fall Semester of this past year the following were elected to the Delta Epsilon Sigma: Ruth H. Glickman of 7 Union Street, Hudson, New York; Catherine B. Schermerhorn of Schenectady, New York; James E. Shea of 47 Fleetwood Avenue, AI- bany, New York; Lawrence R. Heslin of 21 McElwain Avenue, Cohoes, New York; and James A. Sullivan 111 of Albany, New York. The official ritual and a dinner honoring the new members was held on December 8, 1955. The officers of the Beta Psi Chapter for the year 1955-1956 are: President, Joseph I. Gale; Vice-President, Arville M. Crandall, and Secretary-Treasurer, Professor David Colbert. 84 SENIOR In th early part of November the seniors held their annual dinner at Corky's Restaurant in Cohoes. Bernard Cobb was in charge of arrangements and the affair proved to be a huge success. Among the guests that attended were Rev. Norbert Lehr, O.F.M., a newcomer to the school and moderator of DINNER The Siam: News; Rev. Robert Gabel, O.F.M., Spiritual Direc- tor at the school; Captain John Montgomery, an instructor in Military Science and John McKane, former President of the class and now in attendance at Albany Law School.

On a typical fall day in September 1952, a group of approximately two hundred and fifty starry-eyed youngsters entered the halls of Siena College. The day was freshman registration and the class of 1956 was about to become a reality. We were immediately thrown into a bedlam of frenzy and terror suffering many hardships at the hands of the Sophomore Class during two hectic weeks of hazing. One of the earliest accomplishments of our infant college car- eers was the thorough beating we inflicted on the sopho- mores in the now historic Battle of the Brooms. The hazing period ended with the sophomores winning the Field Day under suspicious circumstances. The time for our first election was here and after much consideration Michael Verdile was elected to lead the class for the first year. With Mr. Frank Renzi as class moderator, we were off to a fine start at Siena. Timmy Hill received a spot on the varsity and started the brilliant career which culminated in the shattering of many Siena basketball records. In September 1953, with our dinks tossed aside and the Siena tradition embedded in us, we entered our Sopho- more year. Elections were again upon us and by a two vote margin John McKane defeated William Conboy and began a two year reign as President of the class. Dave Barsalow became Junior Varsity manager and was soon to be ele- vated to the high position of varsity manager. We were now ready to sponsor our first social event, The Sophomore Soiree. Under the capable leadership of William Hunt, the dance proved to be a gigantic success and was enjoyed by everyone who attended. The guidance MR. DANIEL HORGAN Moderator which we lost in the leaving of Mr. Renzi we regained in our new moderator Mr. Daniel Horgan. Our Junior year proved to be a very active one. John McKane was re-elected President and in addition to McKane, Vincent Ruggiero, William Reilly, William Hunt and David Duncan were chosen for important positions in the Student Senate. Tim Hill, Frank Koenig and Earl Skiff had become an important nuculus for the varsity and William Powell had led the golf team to many important victories. Louis Tessier and George Kelly were chosen co-chair- men of The Junior Prom and although the dance lived up to expectations of all Proms, it was different in the sense that the dance was the first Junior Prom to be held off campus The gala affair, held at the Circle Inn, will be long remem- bered by everyone who attended. In May we elected class officers to guide us through our remaining year at Siena. John Mack was elected class President and James McGuire was elected President of the Student Senate. Also elected to Senate offices were Louis Tessier, Thomas Hurley, William Reilly, Richard Como and Herbert Wolfe. Michael Verdile and Thomas Mahar were chosen co-chairman of both The Snow Ball and The Pep Rally. The issueing of reservations for The Snow Ball was another first for our class. We are now entering into the twilight of our days at Siena. In the years ahead when we apply the principles and ideals which we have obtained at Siena we will look back with a feeling of nostalgia to the priceless moments of our college clays. We only hope that we are able to repay Siena for what it has given us. 25:32:25 let it not gall your patients, goon iagu Othello: Ac!L II, Scene I JUNIOR CLASS Row 1, Left to Right: R. Englander, R.

Few of us remember the hesitancy and nervousness we experienced that 5th day of September, three swiftly passing years ago. We were soon caught up in the traditional activi- ties of Hazing, the maior events of which were the Paiama Parade, during which we successfully, but only playfully and temporarily, harassed the citizens of Albany, and the Frosh-Sophomore Field Day, which we lost although having won a moral victory by cap- turing the day's feature attraction; the tug-of-war. After electing officers and getting acquainted at the Freshman smoker in the early days of October, we settled down to becoming acclimated to our new surroundings. In May we began planning for our Sophomore days with the election of officers. Returning in September, 1954, we subdued the freshmen and then busied ourselves with plans for the Sophomore Soiree, under the able and creative co- chairmenship of James Olsen and Neil O'Donnell. 90 D. Banbury, J. Hogan, J. Mangini, T. Kenny. The affair, in an appropriate Parisienne setting, was an enjoyable and memorable event. In December our class float earned second place in the Annual Pep Rally competition. Two very popular social activities added high- lights to our year. These were the two dinner meet- ings, one held in December and one in May; the latter for the purpose of introducing the newly elected offi- cers, who we had chosen to represent us in our Junior year. Elected was: President .................................. William Senno Vice-President .................. Salvatore Catalano Secretary .............................. Russell Topping Treasurer ......................... Bernard Shannon Historian ............................... Thomas Quinn Beside our new president, three of our classmates won posts on the Student Senate. Lawrence Favreau and Michael Opar were elected Secretary and Treas- urer, respectively, while Neil O'Donnell was chosen Representative-at-Large. During our iunior year we held two dinner meet- ings, which as usual, afforded all who attended a fine time. A stellar event of this, our third term, was the Hobo Hep. The music was splendid, the decorations were uppropo, the games were entertaining, the girls were lovely, the boys were lively and a good time was had by all, aided no doubt by the comic sight of Gus Favreau and his wonderful hat. Now we look foreword. With the fine assistance of our patient and cooperative moderator, Rev. Robert F. Gabel, OFM, we hope to make our last year our best, scholastically, socially, and in regard to our con- tributions to Siena. CLASS OFFICERS Left to Right: T. Quinn, R. Topping, S. Cutalano, Rev.

The name of the Sophomore class has been synonomous with the ever-growing spirit and unity of this college. From the time we registered in the Fall of 1954 until the present day, we have risen to heights attained by few former classes. After being harassed for two weeks and exploited in the Albany paiama parade by the Sophomores, we had our revenge in the Soph-Freshmun Field Day. Only a fluky scoring system saved the Soph's from a miserable defeat by our strong freshman team. However, we are quite proud of our tie in this annual event. Under the guidance of our popular moderator Rev. Eugene Shea, O.F.M. we started to roll. Great success at the Freshman smoker, class picnic and dinner were accompanied by freshman dominance of the intramural football and bus- ketball alI-star teams. We also produced a fine Frosh basketball team, led by standouts Tony Shavo, John Obermcyer and Tom McNamee. Gary Girmindl proved to be the most versatile intramural athlete on campus, placing second in the golf tourney, being selected as most-valuable football player and chosen to the intramural basketball aII-stur team. The Spring Elections produced a group of officers who were to become the backbone of every future Sophomore undertaking: President ........................................................................... John O'Connor Vice-President ........................................................................ Byron Prahm Secretary .................................................................................. Mike Brady Treasurer ................................................................................ Bruce Jensen Historian .................................................................................. Larry Benzie 92 Our first undertaking as Sophomores was the most successful in many years - the Freshman Hazing. Dinks, bow ties, shortened pants, Siena haircuts and many other villainous tortures were characteristic of the poor Freshman. The some powerful teams were back to pummel the Freshman in the Field Day. However, ill feelings were forgotten at the Paiama Parade and Soph-Frosh Smoker in which both classes had a ball. Late in September we were faced with a decision to sponsor the Sophomore Soiree or the Hobo Hop. At a class meeting, the question was brought up and an unanimous vote favored the quite popular Hop. After a record breaking decor- ation iob lstarting at 1:00 P.M. the afternoon of the dancel the gym and basement were ready for the festivities. We are proud to say that the Hobo Hop was the great success that it was in former years. The Soph's spirit of cooperation was again evidenced in the preparation of the Pep Rally Float and in the attendance at the Sophomore Dinner. We again shone in football with a Sophomore team, the Gaels, taking first place. We were also well represented on the basketball team by: John Obermayer, Frank Con- nelly, Don Wilson, Tom McNamee, Larry Spinelli and William Johnson. This is one-half of the history of a memorable class. The second part of the story rests in the hands of the same fellows who proved their metal in all activities of the class of 1958. L to R: L.

We are quite sure that we looked and acted like a Freshmen class for none of us knew exactly what we were in for. We soon found out in the following two weeks so aptly referred to as llHell Week for Frosh. The new styles for Frosh were green and gold ties, white shirts, white socks and the Sophomores adaptation of Ber- muda shorts, lpants cuffs rolled Up three timesl. They told us at the beginning of the initiation that it was to bring our class closer together, which it certainly did. The Frosh paiama parade down State Street in Albany was a high point during the hazing. It was followed by a serenade from the steps of the State Education Building by the Freshmen to all passers by. That same night some two hundred Fresh- men and Sophomores combined, visited the campus of State Teachers College where two Siena pennants were unfurled in Brubacher Hall. At the annual Freshmen-Sophomore smoker all differences of opinion that had arisen during hazing were forgotten and we three hundred and eight Frosh became Siena men.

As Siena men we had a few more obligations since we could no longer use the excuse of I'm new here. We tried our best in whatever we did from building a float for the Pep Rally to supporting the Student Senate and electing our own class officers. In fact, we think that the Class of 59 is and will remain to be the best, most active, most school spirit- ed class to ever come to the Siena College campus.

The belligerant Sophs took the field against an untested and unorganized Frosh aggregation who were bent on revenge for the suffering they underwent during the hazing period. With fire in their eyes and the urge to kill in their minds, the newcomers had re- cruited a fine contingent of talent and were determined to make an impression into the annals of Siena College by winning over the Sophomores. Only in 1951 did the Frosh turn the tide against the second year men. The main attraction of the afternoon was the football game. The yearlings who always seemed to be the underdog gained extra prestige by their fine showing in this year's classic. The Frosh had such fine high school stars as Gene Riggi, John Koval and John Weaver. The outstanding players for the Sophs were Byron Prahm, Gary Girmindl and John O'Connor. The records of past years show that the cool, calm and collected Sophomores ex- pect the activities to be a push-over only to find that they have had a stiff battle on their hands. The events have always provided their bag of thrills and have been packed with action much to the approval of the spectators. 97 Into the walkers night marched Siena's sleep- Our future leaders Bucks make camp E When Qtaesar sapg, th tbiS? 2 it i5 perfurtmzh Julius Caesar: ActL I, Scene II OFFICE The administrative or office staff is in charge of the tedious and meticulous job of doing the paper work of the college.

Representative to the Student Senate The chief weakness of the Church in the United States is the scarcity of lay Catholic leaders. One of the foremost aims of the National Federation of Catholic College Students since its founding nineteen years ago has been to aid the development of such leaders - men who will bring a Catholic out- look to their chosen career. The N.F.C.C.S. seeks to encourage interest in the principles and prob- lems of Catholic Action. On each campus, students interested in a particular field are put in contact with each other, encouraged to organize a formal group, and aided in adopting a program. At Siena, organized groups exist in Family Life, Mariology, Literary Affairs, International Relations, Forensics, and Student Government. Because it has affiliates on almost every Catholic college campus in the United States, the N.F.C.C.S. is able to act as a contact between interest groups on one campus and similar groups on other campuses. The individual groups benefit by learning what others are doing, and how they are going about it. To facilitate contacts and to provide for coordinated activity on a re- gional and national level, the National Federation is subdivided into some twenty Regional Councils. Siena is a member of the New York-New Jersey Region, which consists of twenty-two colleges. The N.F.C.C.S. Campus Committee, consisting of one representative from each class, one from each active interest group, and the Junior and Senior delegates, is charged with the over-all direction of Siena's N.F.C.C.S. The committee officers are: Senior Delegate ................................................ William Barnes Representative to the Student Senate ................ Thomas Hurley Moderator ...................................... Rev. Robert Gabel, O.F.M. Siena was represented at the Federation Convention in Pittsburgh last summer by James McGuire and Thomas Hurley. At these conventions, the work of the previous year is reviewed and policies for the coming year for- mulated. The Regional Convention, in October, was attended by nine mem- bers of the Campus Committee. Because of its increased enrollment, Siena was awarded a third voting delegate in the Regional Council this year. For the second consecutive year, Siena was host to the April meeting of the Regional Council. This year also saw the inauguration of the Family Life group on campus, thus broadening the Siena N.F.C.C.S. activities. HO Left to Right: OlDonnell, Como, Mr. F. Monahan.

NATIONAL STU DENT ASSOCIATION The National Student Association is a non-parti- san, non-sectarian confederation of more than 300 democratically-elected student governments at Ameri- can colleges and universities. U.S.N.S.A. represents through these student governments more than 800,000 American students. Formed in 1947, N.S.A. has won recognition in the educational community through its constituent membership in the American Council on Education, representation in the U. 5. National Com- mission for UNESCO, and its participation in programs carried on by the U. S. Office of Education and the National Education Association. N.S.A. membership is open to colleges who hold the preamble in all its rights and obligations, and who maintain a scholastic level equal to the average. The Association is organized on the national, regional, and district level to better aid member student govern- ments. Early in 1948 N.S.A. officially came to the Siena campus when the first campus committe was formed. Although for the past seven years Siena has been active in N.S.A. affairs on all levels, this year we have taken a commanding lead in district affairs. Tom Hamill, Siena's Senior Delegate, was elected as Chair- man of the Eastern District, which comprises six schools in the greater Hudson Valley Area of New York State. On the regional level, Siena was the host college of the New York State Region for the annual spring 111 RICHARD COMO, N.S.A. Representative to the Student Senate regional held in April of this year. Tom Hamill and Dick Como were chairmen of the convention which was held in the impressive Senate Chambers of the State Capitol. Among the highlights of the meeting was the annual variety show in which Siena partici- pated. Here on the campus, N.S.A. has been active in a number of projects. Among the most important is the Leadership Training Program which is held each Spring before elections. In order to lay plans for the program, the N.Y.S.N.S.A. held a Leadership Train- ing Conference at Niagara University last fall which was attended by the Student Senate as well as the N.S.A. delegates. The Student Discount Service offered by N.S.A. is of primary value on the Siena campus, providing liberal discounts for Siena students among merchants throughout the area. Delegates to the N.S.A. this year are: Senior Dele- gate, Tom Hamill; Junior Delegate and Representative to the Student Senate, Richard Como; First Alternate, Cornelius O'Donnell; Second Alternate, Peter McKen- na; and S.D.S. Chairman, Gregory Tobin. Moderator of the group is Mr. Francis Monahan. IL CIRCOLO W 4?

In order to help obtain this end, the members of the club have presented a complete set of Italian encyclopedias to the college library. Despite its youth, the Italian Club boasts a mem- bership of about forty active members. During the past year, the Italian Club has participated in the ac- tivities of the lnter-Club Council. The club meets monthly for business meetings and also holds social gatherings at an Italian restaurant in the Tri-City area. The Italian Club's annual fall semester dinner meeting was held at Ferro's restaurant in Schenectady and was addressed by the Rev. Bernardino Bonnasea, O.F.M., Rev. Eugene A. Shea, O.F.M., and the club moderator, Mr. Thomas A. Castellano. The topic of the main speaker, Rev. Bernardino, was Communism in Italy Today. This year the Italian Club also expanded its acti- vities to include participation in the annual Pep Rally Parade. 112 ITALIANO The Italian Club will hold its annual award din- ner-dance in May. At this event an award is given to the student who has attained the highest scholastic grade in Italian after three years and also to the stu- dent who has been most active in the club. This again is in line with the italian Club's aim of promoting the appreciation of Italian culture. The highlight of the Club's activities is its annual Christmas Party for orphans of the Tri-City area. This year almost seventy orphans were feted. They re- ceived gifts from Santa and were cared for by many of the students, faculty members and friends of the club in the true spirit of Christmas. Class officers for this year are: President ...................... Orlando Pigliavento Vice President ................ Patrick Montenaro Secretary ............................ Gaetano Bacciu Treasurer ............................ Richard J. Parisi l. C. C. Representative .............. Dino Cimino Moderator ............ Mr. Thomas A. Castellcmo How about some more iokes Father Eugene? 'l'l3 SEVENTH ANNUAL ORPHANS PARTY The seventh annual Orphan's Party, sponsored by the Italian Club, washeld in the recreation room of Gibbons Hall during the week before Christmas vaca- tion. Over seventy orphans from the Tri-City area were in attendance and a very enioyable time was had by all. Under the direction of moderator, Thomas Castel- Iano and the club officers which included Orlando More cake on the way uvvvvv-u vu- Pigliavento, Tom Baccia, Patrick Mentenaro, Richard Parisi and Dino Cimino, the orphans were taken to and from the party by cars donated by the club mem- bers.

Sigma Omega, the society for all evening students, has a history which, in years and successes, is second to none. The organization, founded 18 years ago, is, junior only to the college itself. It provides, in its activities, that necessary social outlet for the some five hundred students in our evening division. Sigma Omega was founded soon after the doors of the college were opened to the working class. Its primary purpose is to provide the opportunities for students of this class to meet and get acquainted, therefore insuring their college days many mom- ents to remember. With this purpose in mind, business meetings are held once a month at times and places which are convenient to the membership of this unique college organization. At these meetings, the owls gather socially, away from the confines of academic walls. To further its goal, the club, which by nature is composed of the leaders in our community, spon- sors such activities as the Welcome Dance, Christmas Party, Communion Breakfast, Family Picnics and their Annual Award Dinner. Sigma Omega has passed the test of time. It can be assured of continued success, not only for what it has done, but because of what it is . . . the pivot around which our AFTER-SUNDOWN SCHOLARS are treated to that, ever to be treasured, taste of col- iege life.

Look, more owls coming in The Greater Troy Area Club was founded in 1949 with Peter Keyrouse us its first president. The purpose of this club is to foster activities of the col- lege and to provide a social outlet for the Siena students of the Troy area. Under the able direction of its moderator and its president, the club has been active in intramural sports, Campus Carnivals, Pep Rallies, social activities and many other functions of the school. The Troy Club, with its over one hundred members, has many members in the Student Senate, Varsity sports, publications and other activities on campus. This has been a most successful year for the Troiuns and better things are expected in the future. MR. CARL DONSBACH Moderator 1955-1956 OFFICERS Moderator ............................

It was founded in September of 1953 - a consolidation of all out-of-town students formerly belonging to sectional clubs, such as, the Metropolitan Area Club and the Western New York Club. These clubs being relatively inactive, made the need great to bring together in a single group those students having this one thing in common, the fact that they were Boarders. The idea was not a new one; but the en- thusiasm and effort of every member of the then newly formed Siena Lodgers Association led by moderator Rev. Robert F. Gabel, O.F.M., made it a reality. The Boarders Club had from its beginning a dual purpose. Functioning properly it could benefit both its own members and also Siena College. Through bi-monthly meet- ings and various intra-club activities it could build up a spirit of companionship and solidarity among its own members. Secondly, by means of this closeness between its members, the club could stimulate and encourage participation in and support of all activities sponsored by other groups or by Siena College itself. With such a purpose and combined with the great enthusiasm of its founders, the club could not fail. Now after three years of operation the spirit with which it was founded has not waned; rather, the club, under a new moderator, Rev. Conran Babcock, O.F.M., has wit- nessed an increase not only in enthusiasm but also in size. It is now the largest and most active of extra-curricular groups on the Siena campus. But the coming years, showing promise of a future even more successful than the past, will find the Siena Lodgers Associa- tion working even harder to make this fact for certain: In any college, the Boarders are the core of school spirit.

It was named in honor of the great Franciscan chemist, Be- thold Schwartz. The club's membership is composed of regularly matriculated students of Chemistry at Sieno College who have completed one year of Chemistry and who are in good scholastic standing. The club has attempted to afford its members an opportunity to become better acquainted with the various fields of Chemistry, and to thus secure ex- perience in the preparation and presentation of tech- nical material before scientific groups. It further aims to provide the student with on better understanding of industrial chemistry by actually observing applications of classroom theory. But perhaps, the chief ambition of the group is to foster a professional spirit among the members, and to instill a professional pride in Chemistry. Present members of the club, who are Chemistry maiors, are accepted, upon application, into the American Chemical Society. These members form the Siena College Chapter of Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society.

Dr. Herbert Fuerst 125 Francis of Assisi took the Work of the Gospel of Christ as if addressed to him personally. After all, was not the Gospel 0 pattern for living life as it ought to be lived? Christ did not intend that His Message be printed between two covers and gather dust. He in- tended that His Message shoUld take on flesh and blood, and live and move among men. From the time Francis heard the Gospel read at Mass on October 20, 1209, he resolved to make it his norm of life. The sincerity of his endeavor drew the crowds after him. No matter where he went, he met a mob eager to be trained in his school of life. He began to people the Friaries with new recruits. But, that was not for everybody. Previous commit- ments and obligations made it impossible for many to leave the world and live in a Friary. 50, Francis made a bold move. He brought the Friary to the people. Stepping out of monastery walls, he brought the religious life into the open by means of his Third Order. He made it a vehicle of acquiring 128 perfection that is available to every condition of life, to every age and to both sexes, without breaking family bonds or household ties. His Third Order was founded to sanctity its mem- bers by the observance of their Rule and to make the world a better place for Christians by diffusing the Christ-like spirit of St. Francis in domestic, civic and national life. He has more than three million followers today. Many Siena students have donned the brown and white garb of the Third Order. They meet on the campus monthly after the ten o'clock Mass in the Chapel. Their Big Brotherhood Proiect towards the Orphans in Albany was a big success at Christmas time. More than 30,000 Meal Prayer Cards were dis- tributed in this area and two Franciscan missionaries in Japan have been adopted by the Siena Frater- nity. Church supplies, clothes and books are collected and sent to Japan by the members. i i i i Siena's Woman's Club or Mother's Club began in 1940 under the direction of the college's first Presi- dent, Rev. Cyprian Mensing, O.F.M. 'In March of 1940 the first meeting was held and Mrs. Frank Sheehan of Albany was elected President. Other past Presidents of the group include Mrs. M. J. Maloney, Mrs. Frank Woods, Mrs. Conrad Rissberger, Mrs. William Bulger, Mrs. Walter Mooney, and Mrs. Thomas Scanion. The Siena Woman's Club has been very active throughout its 16 year existence, and they have made numerous donations to the College. Among the gifts which the college has received are the statue of St. Annual Christmas Pa rty Bernadine which appears in the main lobby of Siena Hall, a check for two thousand dollars, drapes for the library as well as the Christmas Crib. Also donated by the club is the main altar of the college chapel which was dedicated in May 1951, by the Rev. Mark Kennedy, O.F.M. Besides these numerous donations the club spon- sors an annual fashion show, card party, a Christmas party for the faculty, and a Communion Breakfast. Currently sewing as President of the club is Mrs. Sylvester McGeever with the Very Rev. Edmund Christy, O.F.M., serving as Moderator and Rev. Ben- iamin Kuhn, O.F.M., serving as Assistant Moderator.

Over ten thousand students have reg- istered at Siena since its beginnings in 1937 and four thous- and five hundred of these have become eligible to be mem- bers of the Association by graduation or one year or more of successful work in the College. The Alumni has a central governing body and sixteen Albany Alumni finances proiect for tearing down old friury. local chapters. The Association as a whole has a Commun- ion Breakfast, Sports Dinner and Graduate Welcome Dance. The local chapters have their own programs.

The club is open to all students who desire to learn the fundamentals of the game, as well as those who seek to perfect their game through constant practice. The 1955-56 season has as its objective the establish- ment of a full schedule of contests between Siena and any similar clubs in the capital city area. MR. MICHAEL J.

Matthew Conlin, O.F.M., and Mr. Martin Kelly, the group has made steady progress towards being one of the more active clubs at Siena. The Players function on a stock-company level, endeavoring to in- struct members in the various facets of the theatre. Two major produc- tions are presented each school year along with several experimental Iab-shows. During the vacation months the Players act in summer stock shows at Siena. This year's two maior productions were The Traitor by Herman Wouk and The Upper Room, a story of the passion of Christ. The Players are presently readying a summer production schedule in which they plan to stage three plays.

Moderator The purpose of the Siena College Gavel Club is two-fold; to develop in its members the essential quali- ties of leadership, and to represent Siena College in debate and public speaking among colleges through- out the East. In the two years since the rebirth of a debating society at Siena, the Gavel Club has become one of the most active organizations on campus. Headlining its many activities is the annual Siena College Inter- collegiate Debate Tourney, held in March. Ten schools are represented in the tourney, including Fordham, Syracuse, Williams, R.P.l. and St. Michael's. In pre- paring for this event, the Govaliers compete with such top-flight debating teams as Union College, Army, R.P.I., Albany State TeachersnTufts, University of Ver- mont, and Dartmouth. By tourney-time, Siena's de- baters are weII-seosoned. Besides this inter-collegiate tourney, the Gavel Club also sponsors a High School debate tourney. 136 High School Debating Teams from throughout the area compete, with Gaveliers handling all arrangements. Prizes are awarded by the Club to the winners. Among its other activities, the Club conducts a Speakers Bureau, on International Relations Forum, 0 Forensic Society, and participates in the Intercol- legiate Legislative Assembly and the Mock Senate.

Founded by the first class entering Siena in 1937, the Student Senate was granted by the Administration of the College the privilege of govern- ing the Student Association through democratically elected officers and members. Nominations and elections are held each Spring and the candidates are drawn from the Student As- sociation which includes all fully matriculated under- graduate students attending Sienc College. The four officers of the Senate and its ten members, many of whom are delegates from key organizations, are truly respresentative of the Student Association and serve for a term of one year. Acting under their moderator, Rev. Donald Moo- ney, O.F.M., the Senate of 1955-56 has endeavored to put into practice the purposes of its existence which are embodied in the preamble of the Constitution of STUDENT SENATE James McGuire, President of the Student Senate and mod- erator Rev. Donald Mooney, O.F.M. make plans for future activities. the Siena College Student Association: . . . In order to provide for full student representation in all matters pertinent to student affairs, in order to foster, to inter- grate and to coordinate those religious, social and educational activities which develop virtues essential to a Christian gentleman and a responsible citizen . . . The Senate seeks to maintain this ideal of the Col- lege by student cooperation and centralization of stu- dent activities. To this end, it coordinates and pro- motes social functions. Its aim is best achieved by co- operating with campus groups to promote activities rather than by sponsoring them itself. Several ambitious programs have been under- taken with the cooperation of the Senate, including the student outing at Lanthier's Grove, the annual Snow Ball, and the Leadership Training Program that is held at election time. Indeed, the Student Senate is an active, hard-working and successful organization. 0000000 - , ,, - 00000 000 0000 I '0 ' 00000 0000000 000000-00 H 0000000000 0.- 0000 0, . 00000 0000000 000000000 ' I ' .0-.0.0.0.0000 000 0000 0 0 y ' L I 0 0000000 000 00000 0000000 0 0000000 0000 000 00 0000 00 00 000 0000000 00000000 0000 0000000000 00 000000 00 0000 ' ....'.

On these pages the men who put the '56 Saga together have a chance to crow. The rest of the book records the events and activities of the year which are memorable to the remainder of the students of Siena; here are the memories of the staff which compiled that record. Here are the men who worked so hard to capture in print and picture the things which Siena graduates will recall with pleasure throughout the years. Joe Picchi, Editor-in-chief of the '56 Saga, was ultimately responsible for getting everything done, and he discharged his many duties well. He was the boss who established deadlines, and the whip who saw to it that they were met. His Associ- ate Editors, Bill Adams and Tom Hurley, were his special victims. Picchi's sweat and their blood produced the yearbook. For our art work and layout, we needed a man of talent and ability. Such qualities were inherant in our Art Editor John Stycos. Salvadore Catalano assisted John in the layout work and the appearance of this year's Saga owes everything to their genius. We are indebted to slight-of-hand artist Mike Verdile, who, as Business Man- ager, juggled the books to keep us in the black. Mike hounded Paul Marra and Pete Redmond into bringing in enough ads to get us out of the hole. For this relief, much thanks. Ed Beans Campbell had his hands full as Activities Editor, but he came through with flying colors.

Jude Boudreau, Dick Parisi and Frank Hurd are all credited with several assists. Pictures are the essential ingredient for a yearbook. Without pictures there is no book. Special thanks should be given to our Photography Editor Charlie Berger, Frumkin Studios, Augie Weiss and James Tobin. Mention must also be made of the writers who turned in the copy on every conceivable subiect to keep our publishers presses moving. Tom Quinn, Frank Varga, James Sullivan, Dick Englander, Paul Riven, Pat Montenaro, Harry Corr, Jude Bour- deau, Ray Verdile, Dino Cimino, Cornelius O'Donnell and Bill Barnes all put in hours chained to a typewriter. Barnes deserves special credit for his composition of the Dedication, as does Jim Sullivan for the Shakespearian quotations which sprinkle the book. Mr. Daniel Horgan, our moderator, guided us through our most difficult mom- ents and had the seemingly endless iob of making sure that all our material was exact and correct. Our work is now finished, and it will take us many weeks to catch up on our sleep. The Saga office in Gibbons Hall may have had a beaten-up couch in it, but there was seldom much time for the staff to take advantage of it. The pleasure of sleep was an unrealized hope, but we do have the pleasure of accomplishmerit. Now we too take up the old words llAve atque vale.

Moderator John Minahan and editor Sal Cutalano discuss story for next edition. The Beverwyck is the title of Siena's student maga- zine. Literary talent in the college is the mainstay of the magazine, so continuous campaigns are carried on for manuscripts. Each issue presents new problems to the editors, and new short stories, poems, articles and features to the readers. The Beverwyck was first published in April 1947 as a slim sliver of light to keep alive the flickering candle of literary endeavour at Siena. The magazine has more than fulfilled the dreams of its originators, and as each deadline is met, its moderator, Rev. Charles V.

THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT The essence of Paul of Tarsus' personality, like a glowing flame which illuminated the Gospel of Christ with such blinding flashes of light, can be caught in its completeness in one simple word: Apostle. Theology was his chief pre-occupation. In all his endless travels through the civilized world of his day, he had only one concern: to spread the knowledge of the Word of God. Just consider the means he used! He met every issue head- on, without compromise. ImpatientIy, fearlessly, quickly, he tore away hypocracy, smugness, selfishness. The brilliance of his thought, the richness of his language, the deftness and speed of his strategy, have tended to give him a place in history with the learned of the world. In his Epistle to the Ephesians, he tells his followers to arm themselves with the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, which is THE WORD OF GOD. This is the weapon Poul used in his missionary travels. In the midst of Roman decadence, he was the spear- head of a great movement for renewed social life based on the Word of God. The titIe of the weekly religious buIIetin at Siena lives up to its name by emphasizing the importance of the Word of God, the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, in modern society. It re- minds us of the battle between the body and the spirit. It contains brief but blunt articles concerning man's struggles with the forces of evil. It offers suggestions to the students for leading a fuller spiritual life Catholics today need the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, THE WORD OF GOD to fight the onquughts of the world, the tlesh and the devil.

In addition to this the club undertakes the promotion of inter-collegiate amity by the con- certed action of its members in assisting visiting teams and clubs. To augment the spirit of friendship which exists between Siena and its alumni, the Varsity Club has sponsored, in cooperation with the athletic office, a letter banquet and social gathering of former Varsity Club members. Membership to this organization is open to maior letter holders and two year participants in a major or minor sport.

The Club was organized for the purpose of fostering activities for students interested in hunting and fishing. Among its activities, the Rod and Gun Club num- bers two official fishing trips and many unofficial by the members themselves. There are also two official hunting trips and a picnic for the members. The club holds meetings bi-monthly, at which mem- bers of the State Conservation Department speak on pertinent topics and slides are shown. The Club also publishes the St. Bernardine Times, which is a digest of the literary efforts of the club members and is published four times a year. The Club also holds two ROD AND GUN CLUB skeet shoots and two turkey shoots, each year. These two activities are Open to all members of the Siena Student Body. Presently, the Club is anticipating the purchase of archery sets which will be for the use of all Siena students. The moderator hopes to obtain the services of the New York State champion to demonstrate the use of these sets, before the Student Body, during a free period.

Since 1950, on each Thursday during the school year the Siena Campus has taken on the appearance of an army post, with men in khaki in every classroom, in the Cafeteria, the Gym, and even the Library. At 1330 hours 0:30 p.m.i a bugle sounds Assembly and the scattered men in khaki fall in. A shapeless mass is converted in minutes into an organized unit; platoons fall in, batteries are dressed; a command from the Adiutant e- Report - then, to the Battalion Commander - Sir, the Battalion is formed. The next two hours will be filled with shouted orders and units marching, moving as one man. Here the cadets learn to practice the military virtues of obedience and leadership; learn the importance of discipline and teamwork; develop a pride in themselves and in their unit - an esprit de Corps.

On Veterans Day the Siena ROTC was among those who marched in the parade honoring the men who served their country in her wars. The Battalion marched in the May Day Parade in honor of the Mother of God. And the ROTC represented the Green and Gold of Siena in honoring the Green Benediction PMSLT Shows Medal To General Conolly FDC At Work Ceremony at The Shrine of St. Barbara and Gold of St. Patrick on March 17 in Albany. At the Field Day on May 5 the cadets demonstrated the skills learned in the classroom as well as those learned on the drill fields. The Military Ball in November was a success, the largest to date, and the most military. The annual Communion Breakfast was also successful. More tu- lips were planted around the Shrine of St. Barbara Patroness of Artillery, built by ROTC cadets in 1951. These things are also part of the military training for neither social life nor religious duties will cease during army service. Like every other course, ROTC requires class work and hitting the books. A soldier in the field depends continually on maps, so a course is required in Map Reading - azimuths, coordinates, guides and grids, etc. These things were basic; later courses in Ob- served Fires, Fire Direction Center, and Survey called for knowledge of maps. They also called for a phonetic alphabet - Able, Baker, Charlie; a pho- netic numerical system - niner zero wun niner; a Base Piece One Roundl FDC Class strange vocabulary - Bring your GFT to the FDC exam.

In the Senior year there was a class in Military Law, cul- minating in a two-day Moot Trial. The cadet mem- bers of the court took unholy pleasure in finding the accused one of their classmates, Guilty. Next a course in Military Teaching Methods, including a practical exercise - teaching a Freshman class in First Aid. Not onlly Military Teaching Methods, but all ROTC classwork is put to a practical test. At Fort Sill, Oklahoma for six weeks last summer, the know- ledge gained in class rooms over the previous three Battalion Staff On Arm Forces Day years was tested in the field. Under the supervision of regular army officers and non-coms, cadet batteries occupied gun positions, laid nets, established obser- vation posts, and fired actual missions. Cadets manned the guns and Fire Direction Center. Others were on the OP, sending each fire mission down to the guns, moving the burst on line, then on target. Fort Sill had another side as well - up in the morn- ing long before the sun; eating C rations in the field; sleeping tor trying tot in pup tents; being eaten alive by chiggers ; sweating under the sun and being tanned by it; Double Time ; Hurry up and wait ; Gunners Hop ; and RT. All this physical tough- ening contributed to the preperation for military serv- ice - the goal of the ROTC. CADETS AT FORT SILL, OKLAHOMA Row 1, Left to Right: J. McGuire, C. Berger, T. Hurley, P.

It was in 1954 that the Honor Guard first made its appearance on the Siena College campus. It was in May at the annual Field Day activities held by the ROTC. Due to the inclement weatheq, the Military Benediction was held in the St. Mary of the Angels Chapel. When September 1954 rolled around the Honor Guard took on a new shape under the direction of Cadet Capt. Malcolm Winn. They performed admirably at the Military Ball in November, and after the new semester in January the Honor Guard was turned over to Cadet Capt. Richard Englander who guided them through the May crowning of the Blessed Virgin and a precision performance in the May 1955 May Field Day exercises where they doubled as a trick team and an Honor Guard. for the coming May ROTC Field Day exercises. 162 In September 1955 the Guard was offically changed to a Trick Drill Team under the direction of Cadet M9Sgt. William Forget who paced them through the Veterans Day parade and a fine display of trick drill at the Military Ball in November. When the Spring semester opened Cadet Capt. lvo Cavolli was left the job of preparing the Trick Drill Team Now only four years old, the ROTC Band is con- sequently one of the youngest organizations on cam- pus. The nucleus of it originated in the fall of 1952 in the form of Cl seventeen piece drum and bugle corp. After a winter of hard practice, the unit made its first public appearance 01' the Field Day exer- cises in the spring. The spirit and enthusiasm of this Band Performs during intermission 0' Military 30 original group paved the way for the future. At the outset of school the following fall the membership increased to the extent that the added instrumentation afforded the transition from a drum and bugle corp to a full thirty piece marching band. It was also in this year that the need for instruction and practice under a conductor was forseen. The Rev. Paul Oligney, O.F.M., a highly talented and capable conductor, donated his services. Through his untiring efforts the band grew to concert proportions only to see Father Paul become ill and forced to leave before realizing the fruits of his labor. In the fall of 1954 the present conductor Mr. Gerald Cohen was contracted. For the next two years, under the direction of Mr. Cohen, the band met and answered many challenges. Some of the more outstanding accomplishments are: Playing for the Governor's party at the opening of the Now York State Thruway, a Field Day concert in conjunction with the Glee Club, on intermission concert at the Military Ball, and a Christmas concert, so weli received that the students forced the band to play several encores. With continued progress the future possibilities of the organization are al- most unlimited.

This year has been a most successful one for the college Rifle Team. lt formed an Intercollegiate Rifle League consisting of Siena, R.P.l. Army, R.P.l. Navy, R.P.l. Air Force and WilliamsCollege. Siena has defeated all of these teams and should wind up in first place in the league. Other teams that Siena has defeated include Oregon State, Washington University, Annapolis, Xavier University, University of Connecticut, University of Louisville, Tennessee Polytechnic University, Niagara and Alfred University. Team officers include Captain John J. Montgomery, Coach and Moderator; Richard Roth, Captain; and Bruce Chesterfield, Secretary-Treasurer. The first team is composed of seniors: Richard Roth, Richard Abbott, and John Motler; junior, Bruce Chesterfield; sophomore, Vince Chesterfield; and freshmen, Mel Kelsey, Hank McFerran, Stan Kosek, Don Rowland, and Robert Lynch. The most promising of these men is Hank McFerran, who has led the team in scoring all year long. 164 Much credit for the'teom's success should go to its very able moderator and coach, Captain Montgomery, who has devoted much of his time to make the team what it is.

MICHAEL J. FEENEY, O.F.M. Director of Athletics After sixteen years in the capacity of athletic director for Siena College, Father Maurus Fitzgerald has now been transferred and his place has been abley filled by Rev. Michael Feeney, O.F.M., a pro- fessor in the Religion department and superintendent of the buildings and campus grounds for the last three years. He will remain in these capacities along with his new iob. A native of Wellesly, Mass. Father Michael at- tended Boston College high school and graduated from St. Bonaventure in 1944. He was ordained in Washington DC. and was assigned as assistant pas- tor at St. Francis church where he was active in Co-Captains Frank Koenig and Tim Hill with coach Dan Cunha organizing C.Y.O. teams. From 1950-52 the new Siena athletic director served as Procurator, teacher and Junior Varsity bas- ketball coach at St. Joseph's Seminary, Culicoon, N. Y. Father Michael has been given the very difficult iob of guiding Siena's athletic endeavors in the newly formed Middle Eastern Collegiate Athletic Association. The aims of the conference are to institute a sound relationship between schools of comparable stand- ards, to ease scheduling problems and to stimulate student and public interest. The conference consisted of LeMoyne, St. Francis of Brooklyn, St. Peter's, Iona, St. Bonaventure and Siena. Left to Right: D. Barsalow, J. Olsen, D. Wilson, J. Byrnes, J, Obermayer, E.

Assistant Director of Athletics Leo Callahan, graduate manager of athletics, nears the com- pletion of his first year as Intramural Director. Mr. Callahan, a capable performer in sports while at Mt. Pleasant High School and Michigan State College, successfully couched his St. Mary's High School team at Lansing to two state championships. While at Siena, Leo's first freshman team won 19 out of 20 games. He continued to accumulate a fine record as mentor for Siena Frosh teams. In his new capacity, Leo has arranged a wide variety of intra- mural sports to coincide with any average student, giving a continuous flow of programs such as intramural football league, basketball league, softball league, pool tournament, dart tournament and ping pong tournament. Assisted by Sonny Skiff, Leo arranged the popular golf tournament which was widely participated by Siena Iinksmen. To round out the program, Leo received close cooperation from Siena's keglers to form the ever popular intramural bowling Ieuge. The staff of the 5090 wish the maximum of success to sLeo in his new post.

The surprises began with the opening game when the Indians, a decided underdog with little depth and lack of polished per- formers, fell seven points short of upsetting a highly rated Le- Moyne quintet. After losing a heart breaking double overtime game to St. Anselm, the Cunhomen preceded to score two quick triumphs over Army and Georgetown. Unfortunately spirits were short lived as Siena lost successive games to Loyola, Baldwin Wallace, St. Francis, St. Bonaventure, Murray State, Tennessee Tech and Iona. Much credit should be given to the iron five who played many of these games without relief from the bench. The remainder of the season was a great deal brighter with 1955.1956 VARSITY the Green and Gold winning games from traditional rival Man- hattan, St. Peter's, Lawrence Tech, Iona and Adelphi.

Records which were compiled by such past Siena greats as Billy Harrell, Ed Lange, Tom Patten- burgh, Howie Tucker, Bill Hogan and many others are now owned by one man and that man is Tim Hill. During his four years in varsity competition, Tim amassed a total of 1092 points wiping out Ed Lange's four year mark of 1012 points. His seasonal totals were 75, 349, 255 and 417 points. The seasonal average of fourteen points per game held by Howie Tucker was broken by Tim's sixteen point average during his sophomore campaign. All in all Tim has established seven records. His thirty-four points against St. Bon- aventure broke Bill Hogan's single game total of thirty points. The Yonkers flash has also scored twenty one points in one half, thirteen field goals in one game, 129 foul .points in one season, and has broken his own scoring average per game by totaling 20.9 points per game during this current season. Tim's 148 field goals fell short of Harrell's 152 field goals in one season. A product of Charles E. Gorton High School in Yonkers, Tim was an established star in basketball, track and cross country. He was chosen alI-city in basketball, has held state records for the 220 and 440 yard dash, was prolific in high lumping and broad jumping and was named aIl-american for his track endeavors. TIM HILL 179 Hills grabs rebound from Kenyon SIENA 71 LEMOYNE 78 Siena's courageous start was faltered by the lack of an experienced bench and the Green Dolphin surged to CI quick 6-0 lead. The Loudonville lndians pulled themselves together and with Frank Koenig's four points, tied the game at 19 all. The lack of experience expressed itself as a reality as LeMoyne outscored the Siena men in the latter part of the period 29-8. The capable playmaking of Len Mowins, assisted by the valuable tops of big Dan Cavalier put the Dolphins 15 points in front of Siena. Early in the second half, Siena lost their big man , Frank Koenig, a stalwart on rebounds; thus dimming the light of potential victory. Tim Hill did a brilliant iob of relieving LeMoyne of their highly rated Dick Kenyon who left with five personals. u mt , c1 ' am??? e Sterling backcourt play of Frank Connelly and Justin Mc- Carthy enabled the Indians to come within six points with the clock reading 4 minutes. Tim Hill took game honors with 28 points while Cavalier had 20 points for the winners. t . w k t.

ANSELM With the early scoring of Yip Koenig and Frank Connelly Siena started and maintained a narrow first half lead. Johnny Obeymayer contributed greatly to the Sieno cause by his im- pressive rebounding strength and his timely field goals. Justin McCarthy saw limited action because of a bruised bone in his foot. Before he was sidelined by his injury, he contributed with some timely sets and added some assists to spark his teammates. As the second half progressed, the Hawk's Jack Collamore cut 52-47 Siena margin to 52-51. Then Frank O'Donnell continued the pace with a three-pointer which gave St. Anselm's the lead for the first time. Tim Hill's steadfast foul shooting enabled Siena to participate in the overtime. The first extra period terminated with the score between both clubs knotted at 66 all. In the second overtime period only Frank Koenig's one marker was pro- duced by the Indians; thus marking the final score at Siena 68, St. Anselm 72.

Tim Hill, Frank Koenig, Johnny Obermayer, Don Wilson and Frank Connelly participated in an Iron Man performance. The Indians were continuously fighting against much taller opponents from the Hoyas team with Tim Hill giving us a variety of driving layups and quick iump shots adding up to 23 points for his part of the ball game.

Fresh from two very resounding wins over Army and Georgetown the ln- dions were bound for a letdown and Loyola took full advantage of the fact. The shooting percentages were about even for both clubs but the Greyhounds were for superior in the rebound department, grabbing thirteen more missed shots. Jim Allen- baugh and Bi Brown were the main cogs in the Greyhound attack tallying 15 point apiece. As usual the Indian scoring attack was lead by Tim Hill who found the range for 25. The game was close throughout with first one team and then the other taking command but in the final analysis the stronger rebounding of the Greyhounds seemed to be the turning point.

SIENA DEFEATED 77-64 A surpriseingly strong Baldwin Wallace quintet dis- playing a fast breaking attack and some fine shooting from Wynn Hawkins defeated Siena by the score of 77-64. The yellow iackets lead through most of the initial period and held a half time lead of 45-35 mainly through the well balanced scoring attack. Tim Hill, the main inspiration for the Indians, began to find the range early in the second half and the Indians creep to within four points of catching their fleet footed visitors. The game stayed on even footing for the next few minutes but, as the time dwindled, Hawkins and Co. began to pull away thwarting any hopes that the green and gold had of catching them. Hill accumilated 20 points, many of them coming in the dying minutes while Hawkins lead three other yellow jackets in hitting double numbers by counting 19. SIENA 61 ST.

Joe Byrnes REDMEN WIN 71-56 A poor second half shooting percentage by Siena and a 20 point second half by St. John's big 6'7 Mike Parenti were the ingrediences which spelled a 71-56 defeat for the Cunhcmen. The N.I.T. bound Redmen opened the scoring with a set and then Siena went to work, forging ahead on a seven point spree by Tim Hill. Some fine pluymaker and shooting by Justin McCarthy kept St. John's on the defensive during most of the first half. The Redmen held a half time score of 34-33 mainly on some fine outside shooting by the highly publicized Dick Duckett. The story was drastically changed after intermission with big Mike I Parenti easily scoring against his much shorter opposition. The closest 1' 13'? i the Indians got to the Redmen in the second half was 42-41 after about ii five minutes of playing.

Frank Koenig scored a neat 14 points to achieve an impressive 37-24 lead for Siena. With exception of the early minutes of play Siena led all the way with such leads as 17-7, 29-16, and 43-28. Earl Sonny Skiff contributed six points while Johnny Obermayer gave us his usual hustle per- formance which included 12 poinis. A great ovation for a great ballplayer was given to Tim Hill when he sank the field goal which erased Lange's record. Siena emerged a 77-68 victor. IL yy Jim Olsen Timmy drives to score record breaking goal Dan Wilson 189 INDIANS EDGED BY TERRIERS Anyone who attended the St. Francis game in the Albany Armory saw one of the wierdest game contested between two teams. With about twenty seconds remaining, and the terriers leading by the slim margin 69-66, the Cunhamen began an all court press and managed to deflect the ball out of bounds. Because Tim Hill's close guarding had prevented the opposition from putting the ball back into play referee Max Tabacchi had signaled the timekeeper to halt the clock with five seconds to play. Unfortunately his signal was not seen. What followed can be classified as all out becllam. After about fifteen minutes of aruging between coach Cunha and the referees, and the return from the locker room to the court by the St. Francis team, the game was resumed with the terriers elking out a 71-70 verdict. The contest, attended by the largest crowd of the season, proved to be a very close affair with both teams capturing the lead at dif- ferent intervals. The main thorn in the side of the home forces was Innis with 18 points and Mannix who contributed 14 markers. D'Lea played a tremendous floor game and was instrumental in thwarting the Indian attack. The biggest contributions for the green and gold were Koenig's 18 and Obermayer's 17 points. Larry Spinelli Tom McNamee L !

Hit- ting on 14 of 29 second half floor attempts Siena outdid the first half performance of the Jersey City Quintet. Yip Koenig hit against St. Peter's zone at u 50 per cent clip to accumulate 22 points for the eve- ning. Again praise must be given to McCarthy and Connelly for their outside zone defensive work. Son- ny Skiff did a highly creditable rebounding job, scrapped for his 10 points and even pilfered a couple of St. Peter's passes. High point honors went to Tim Hill for his 23 point contribution. Leo Callahan gives aid to iniured John Obermayer 191 Bill Johnson SIENA TOPS IONA 64-56 Siena played one of their best games to avenge a previous loss to the Gaels from White Plains. The Indians, who checked Iona with 2-1-2 zone defense, collected the game's final six points in the last 20 seconds after the Gaels had closed to within 58-56. The zone type defense was complete only by the quick-footed defensive play of Sieno's little men, Franck Connelly and Justin McCarthy. Siena was continuously upset by the three-point plays of lona's Joe Bernardi who was high for the night with 20 markers. Siena maintained victory through clutch scoring of Sonny Skiff late in the fourth period and the four consecutive iump shots of Johnny Obermayer at the end of the first half. Frank Koenig contributed his usual much needed re- bound performance. Siena shot an impressive 41 per cent shooting average thus overcoming any Iona thoughts of victory. 192 Row 1, Left to Right: L.

FRESHMAN TEAM One of the most difficult tasks in college basketball is to mold a band of very fine high school players; from schools all over the state, into a smooth working group; capable of moving into the vacated shoes of graduating varsity players. This year the assignment was handled very well by Jay Kirby. The team,- Ied by 5'8 John Weaver, a prolific scorer and fine rebounder; won twelve of nineteen games. Although losing their first two games the team finished strong winning three out of their remaining four games. 1955-1956 RECORD Siena Opponent Sieno Junior Varsity 48 61 St. Anseim's Frosh 52 80 Saratoga Navel Base 55 53 St. Theresa's Senior C.Y.O. 45 43 Albany Business College J.V. 75 55 Williams Frosh 55 85 State College Frosh 62 52 Albany Jewish Community Center 62 55 St. Bridget's Senior C.Y.O. 52 56 Albany BusineSS College J.V. 62 49 General Electric-Webster 68 57 St. Theresa's Senior C.Y.O. 62 49 Williams Frosh 72 82 St. Joseph's Senior C.Y.O. 70 54 Albany Jewish Community Center 74 88 State College Frosh 95 86 Albany College of Pharmacy J.V. 74 64 Hcrtwick College J.V. 71 81 Hudson AIl-Stars 91 82 Jay Kirby John Weaver INTERCOLLEGIATE BOWLING Left to Right: Captain Dino Cimino, Dave Carpentier, Joe Smith, George Camino, Joe Baginski, and John Marcella. INTER-COLLEGIATE BOWLING intercollegiate bowling is in its second year at Siena College. Again Sienc has an entry in the Capital District Intercollegiate Bowling League which was originated in 1954. The keglers bowl every Tuesday evening on the Gibbons Hall alleys at 7:30. Last year the Indian representatives to this league rolled over all opposi- tion and finished in first place. This year the team participated in the newly formed Middle Eastern College Athletic Association with the scores being wired to the other competing teams. Other entries in the Capital District Intercollegiate Bowling League are: Hudson Valley Technical Insti- tute, Albany Business College, Albany State Teachers College, Rennsealaer Polytechnical Institute and Union College. Members of this years contigent are: Captain, Dino Cimino, John Marcella, Joseph Baginski, George Comino, David Carpentier, Joseph Smith and Joseph O'Connor. Seniors Baginski and Cimino help team win many laurel: TENNIS TEAM Varsity tennis returned to Siena's campus last year, after an absence of six years, under the direc- tion of J. W. Frament. Mr. Frament, a former varsity tennis player at State Teachers' College, through his coaching led the team to a 2-4 record. However, this record was not indicative of the work and spirit displayed by the players in their practices and matches. Their efforts were rewarded by their excellent showing in the M.E.C.C.A. Cham- pionship at Iona last fall. The four participants, rep- resenting Siena at this match, were Doug Hoyt, Dick Kraft, Al Olive and Chuck Scola. The team is looking forward this year to an im- provement on their previous record. They will be led by Captain Doug Hoyt and the following re- turning lettermen: Dick Kraft, Moe Maloney, Al Oliva, Jim Olsen, Chuck Scale, Jerry Sokaris and John Stycos. The team will be bolstered by the following newcomers: Dave Barsolow, Art Harrigan, John Ruila, Tom Ryan, Neil Vincelette, Brian Williams, and Harry Ungermon. Row 1, Left to Right: N. Vincelette, D. Hoyt, C. Scula, A. Olivu, J. Stycos. Row 2: J. Olsen, M. Maloney, J. Raila, R. Kraft, J. W. Frament. GOLF TEAM With the loss of many players by graduation, coach Leo Callahan has regarded this past season as a year of rebuilding. Interest in the Golf Team has been growing steadily since its innovation a few years back and usually out of the Freshman and Soph- omore Class Leo has come up with some fine Iinksmen. The team was captained this year by Earl Sonny Skiff who has compiled a very fine record this season as in the past. Charlie Rourke, although only a soph- omore, has played some fine golf and great expec- tations are forseen for him in the future. Other members of the squad are John Owens, Pete Campbell, and Jim Rourke. Charlie O'Rourke Earl Sonny Skiff Captain Left to Right: L. Callahan, C. O'Rourke, E.

Originally the League was an informal recreation affair, but under the direction of Rev. Dennis Anderson, O.F.M., the league was established in 1948. Teams compete against each other at 3:30 on Monday afternoons in the Gibbons Hall alleys. This year there is one strong league consisting of six teams. Siena keglers Biennial banquets climax the yearly activities. Tro- phies are awarded to winning team and to the men who hold high triple, high single, high average and to the two hi-io winners. This year a new innovation will be instituted at the banquet in the spring; each bowler will receive a minature bowling pin inscribed with his name, team and average. Moderators of the league ore Father Alvin and Father Conon. The officers of the league are: President John Marcella Treasurer . . V.
