w ,I m ,w an. ,. Dear Siena Alma Mater Glory to her Blessed Name We her sons, her praises echo, And our love with joy acclaim The stories of great men and great things are generally prefaced with the age old expression, From a humble beginning . . . . This adage is also very true of the history of Sienu College. It is from a humble beginning that the Glory of our Alma Mater has in twenty years been transformed into deep love for Siena College. The doors of Siena College were first opened on September 22, 1937. There were no ivy covered buildings or maple shaded campus for the pioneer students to admire on their entrance to the college. The Old Friory Original Building Laying cornerstone of Fr. Jerome Dawson Memorial Library i I M $ 3 nexumwzw u These students, few in number in comparison with today's enrollment, were greeted by a solitary brick farmhouse surrounded by forty acres of rich Newtonville farmland. Every collegiate foundation is important but these ninety men were greeted by seven Franciscan Friars of the Most Holy Name Province, who had one idea in mind, - namely, to give these students and the thousands more to come after them a Catholic collegiate education. Until June 20, 1938, when the cornerstone of Siena Hall was laid, the College operated under the Charter of St. Bonaventure's College of Alleghany, New York. Upon their return to the college in October of 1938, the original ninety members of the college discovered that the enrollment had in- creased to 250 students and that classes were now being taught in a new partially completed building of Georgian-Colonial architecture. The scholastic year of 1940-1941 is noteworthy in the annals of the school. The enrollment of the institution at this time soared to new heights. There were 989 students in the day and evening divi- sions of the college. Completed in September of 1941, Siena Hall was built on a firm foundation of trust in the Divine Will of Almighty God. The permanence of the young college was recognized when on March 20, 1942, the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York granted Siena a permanent Charter. The college has as its primary purpose, the development of the individual. This development is three fold; it is the mental, moral, and physical molding of the character of the whole christian man and not just one segment of him. In order to develop the man physically, on December 20, 1940, the cornerstone of the gymnasium was laid. The brick edifice was named for the Most Reverend Edmund Francis Rev. Colman Dunne, O.F.M. Guardian of The Friary Rev. Jerome Dawson, O.F.M. Gibbons, D.D., then Bishop of Albany, who in 1937 had invited the Franciscan Friars to establish a Catholic Men's College in his diocese. The years from 1942 to 1946 were sorrowful ones for the entire world, but they were especially sad for Siena because, during those years, forty-six of her brave sons died vaiiently on the war torn battlefields of the world. The liberty that these men fought for and preserved is the reason why Siena's history does not end here, but goes on. Since the war there have been many changes in the cur- riculum and the campus of the college. The college had to adopt a temporary accelerated program in order to fulfill its duty during these war years. From July of 1942 until August of 1944, the College, in coniunction with the United States Navy, trained uniform personnel as prescribed under the V-5 Program. This program was discontinued in September of 1944 when the College returned to the usual two semester and a six week summer session. One of the most remarkable changes in the college was the teriffic increase in the number of students attending the school after the war. The campus was actually bursting its seams in the year 1948 when enrollment sky-rocketed to 2,752 students. Three fourths of this figure were veterans. In order to provide classrooms, it was necessary to construct a perfabricated building of eight ciassrooms on the campus and to rent a hall in the nearby town of Latham. Located on the southeastern corner of the campus are two adjoining Georgian-Colonial styled buildings. Although from their external ap- pearances neither resemble that which we call a house , both of these magnificient structures truly are houses. One is St. Mary of the Angels Chapel and the other is the Friary. The former being the house of God and the latter the Faculty house of the Friars. It was only eight short years ago on April 25, 1949, that the Most Reverend William A. Scully, D.D., then Coadiutor Bishop of Albany, blessed and laid the cornerstone of the Friary, which was completed in July of 1950. 1950 is another important year in the annals of the institution for in April of that year the United States Army established a Field Artillery R.O.T.C. unit on the Campus. Field Artillery and Military personnel were assigned to the school to direct the program of Mili- tary Science and Tactics which started in the Fall of 1950. The course offers, upon successful completion, a commission of Second Lieutenant in the Field Artillery of the United States Army Reserve. Since its inception in 1950, approximately 125 Siena graduates have received commissions. Just as the training in the R.O.T.C. enables these men to be soldiers in the Army of the United States, so also does the christian training by the Friars help all the graduates of Siena to be strong soldiers in the Army of Christ. The rapid expansion of the College demanded the erection of the Library which makes more complete the fulfillrhent of the words of Francis Bacon, Reading maketh a full man . . . . On October 12, 1953, ground was broken for the construction of the building. In 1954 the newly constructed Library was named for the priest who as Chairman of the Board of Trustees from 1937 until 1943 aided the growth of the college immeasurably. It was with profound re- spect and deep gratitude that the library was dedicated to the Very Reverend Jerome Dawson, O.F.M. In this short history of Siena College it has been impossible to record the contributions of the countless individuals who have helped the College to become the fortress of learning . These people have made the College the beacon of learning and the cross of devo- tion for the three thousand sons and daughters that wear the seal of Siena College. Hail Siena, Alma Mater May your Cross on dome of gold, Be the beacon ever offer For the youth your arms enfold. Dedication Saint Bernardine of Siena The grace of God, our Savior, has appeared in His servant Bernardine, who shone like a bright star in a dark night, and with the heavenly brilliance of his virtue and doctrine frightened away the darkness . . . Saint Antoninus. So goes the description of a man recognized by some under the title Disciple of purity , by others Apostle of Mary , and by the entire universal church, as Saint . . . so goes Bernardine of Siena. Born into an ancient knightly family, Bernardine became known for his three great loves - love of-God, love of purity, and love of Mary. With these strong bonds as a foundation, he grew in holiness and in 1402 chose the Habit of Francis to preach the Gospel of Christ. And preach he did and heard he was. Sprinkling his phrases with pious references to Jesus, Father of Justice, and Mary, Mother of Mercy, his voice was as much thunder to a soul of sin as it was hope to a heart of repentance. We, the children of the college which bears his name, conscious of his accomplishment and inspired by his holy life, reverently and prayerfully dedicate this annual to that Disciple of Purity , that Apostle of Mary - Saint Bernardine of Siena. Dear Graduates: This edition of the Sage, reviewing as it does the twenty-year history of the College, records the physical, structural milestones of our growth. it is a record we can be proud of, but it is only part of the story. For the rest of the story, and the most important part of it, l refer you to another book - the Historical Conspectus of Siena College - which lists the names and occupations of our 3,000 graduates and almost as many more who have spent at least a year in the College. it is in their records, and not in visible bricks and stone, that the true history of the College is written and its success measured. You are soon to begin writing your part of that history. You will find your success more assured, more opportunities open to you, because preceding graduates have made the name of Siena known and respected. We are confident that you will not only uphold but enhance the reputa- tion of Siena in your lives and careers, individually and in concert with the alumni you are soon to ioin. A college yearbook is dedicated to pre- serving the associations and memories of four years; active participation in the alumni will continue many college relationships through a lifetime. Since the alumni are an integral part of the College, i can presume on my position to assure you of a cordial welcome into their ranks. May God's blessings go with you in all your ways.

ARMED FORCES DAY DEMONSTRATION PASS IN Raysew: The Siena ROTC entered it's seventh year with a total membership of over four hundred fifty cadets, eighty of whom were were advanced course candidates for commissions as Army second lieuten- ants. Year by year the ROTC has grown with the College, developing from three graduates commissioned in 1951 to over forty in 1957. The fundamental purpose of the ROTC is to produce Army officers with the highest possible degree of integ- rity and leadership ability, plus the tech- nical qualifications which will enable them to serve the Nation effectively in times of national emergency. The majority of Siena graduates have served on active duty for two years following graduation, returning then to civilian life to participate in their home town Reserve Units. Several of the graduates have taken advantage of the opportunity to become Regular Army Officers and have embarked upon life-time careers of service to their coun- try. The ROTC teaching staff, composed of career officers and enlisted men, is under the guidance of Lieutenant Colonel James F. Kudrna, Professor of Military Science and Tactics. These men, in addi- tion to teaching classes and supervising Thursday afternoon drill periods, accom- pany the cadets to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, where, during the summer of their Junior year, these cadets participate in a six- week session of field training. This sum- mer comp provides an opportunity for the cadets, in company with students from other colleges throughout the country, to apply the skills learned in college and to develop further their leadership abilities. All agree that summer camp means hard work, but there is a lighter side too: seeing Oklahoma from Mount Scott; the cadet dances on the patio of the Fort Sill Offi- cers Club; hitting the swimming pool after a hot day in the field; and just plain sittin' and restin'. 'l'l6 During the four year academic course a tremendous number of subjects are pre- sented - small arms and infantry weap- ons, American military history, first aid, map reading, field artillery tactics, gun- nery and fire control, staff procedures, administration and military law are but a few. Upon graduation the newa-com- missioned officer is well grounded on most aspects of Army life. Other areas receive concentrated attention, too. Every Thursday afternoon the campus swarms with men in uniform, turning out for drill. Parade and marching maneuvers are the vehicle for a graduated program of lead- ership instruction. The freshman cadets start as privates in the ranks, move to non-commissioned officers' positions in their sophomore year, intensive leader- ship training as members of the AdCor Battery in their junior year, and finally become leaders of the cadet battalion, when, as seniors, they hold cadet rank of second lieutenant through Lieutenant Colo- nel. The skill of the group is frequently on display for the benefit of the public. St. Patrick's Day and May Day are two such occasions when the cadet battalion par- ticipates in the parades in Albany. Field Day, May 11, is the last formation of the academic year for the cadets, and it pro- vides an opportunity to demonstrate the skills learned in the classroom as well as on the drill field. The seventh Annual Military Ball was voted by all to be the best ever. Always an outstanding campus event, the Novem- ber affair, appropiately called The Can- non Ball , was attended by over three hundred couples, the cadets in uniform and their dates in formal dress. Spring semester social events included the Ad- vanced Corps Dinner Dance, parties spon- sored by the Rifle Team and the ROTC Band, and a pre-camp get-together for the AdCor Battery. 117 FIELD DAY x 425m? WQ H9 ROTC BAND Now only five years old, the ROTC Band is conse- quently one of the youngest organizations on the campus. The nucleus of the organization was a seventeen piece drum and bugle corps which was originated in the fall of 1952. The unit made its first public appearance at the Field Day exercises in the spring of the following year. Through the untiring efforts of Rev. Paul Oligney, O.F.M., a highly talented and capable conductor, the or- ganization increased in both membership and excellence. Illness forced Father Paul to leave his position as conductor, and Mr. Gerald Cohen was contracted to carry on with the same ability the work started by Father Paul. For the next years the band continued to meet and answer the many challenges that were placed before it. Some of the more outstanding accomplishments of the organization are: Playing at the Governor's party at the opening of the New York State Thruway, a Field Day concert in conjunction with the Glee Club, an intermission concert at the Military Ball, and an annual Christmas Concert. Under the baton of Cadet lst. Lieutenant Richard Parisi the ROTC Band has continued to display the outstanding characteristics that it has demonstrated in the past years. d McFerrun, G. Rowtand. Secon ' Ho src. Carma SFC. R. CORCORAN Coach RIFLE TEAM The Siena College ROTC Rifle Team, under the guidance of its Coach and Moderator, Capt. Don C. Taylor, again com- pleted a very successful season. The team consists of nine cadets who have continued the tradition that is now as much a part of the club as are its members. During the past season, the team competed in matches with the riflemen from Niagara University, Oregon State, Xavier University, Mississippi School of Mines, Al- fred University, Tennessee Polytechnic University, and other col- leges and universities. The team also competed in the William Randolph Hearst Tournament and the Intercollegiate Rifle Tournament. The formation of the Pistol Club has increased the interest of the team members and the other students in the R.O.T.C. Since its origin on the campus the Team has become one of the most outstanding organizations at Siena. Officers for the Team for the 1956-1957 Scholastic Year are: President and Captain .. . . Bruce Chesterfield Sec. and Treasurer . . Vince Chesterfield Coach and Moderator . . .. Capt. Don C. Taylor Assistant Coach ., SFC. Robert Corcoran CAPT.. DON TAYLOR Moderator 120 The ROTC Honor Guard made its first appearance on the Siena Campus in the Spring of 1954. This unit's first activity was participation in the annual ROTC Field Day Ceremony in May of that same year. Due to inclement weather, it was unable to demonstrate the precision drill exercises for which it has now become so well known. In September of 1954, the Honor Guard was reorganized and training began under the direction of Cadet Captain Malcolm Winn. In January of the following year, the command of the unit was turned over to Cadet Captain Richard Englander. During that year, the unit participated in the ceremony at the crowning of the statue of the Blessed Virgin in May and at the Field Day of the ROTC. In the fall of this same year, the Honor Guard began train- ing under the leadership of Sgt. William Forget. In January of the following year, Cadet Captain Ivo Cavoli continued the work of his predecessors and prepared the unit for the demonstra- tions that it would present later in that year. Now in its third year on the campus, the organization has been ably guided by Cadet Captain Thomas Hamill, who turned over command of the unit to Cadet ist. Lieutenant Robert Mulvey in January. The excellence of the Honor Guard was clearly shown in its demonstration in the ROTC Field Day held in May of this year. 121 w us Li: to Right: tar Mchennu, Russell Toppacretar s Treasurer.

As a class, we have established an outstanding record and praiseworthy tradition during our years at the College. That fall morning in September of 1953 when we became the freshman class is now but a dim memory to most of us. Harassed by the Sophomore Class into group fighting for the honor of our young class, we soon began to function as a united body. Our first activities as a class were participation in the annual paiama parade in Albany and the Soph-Frosh Field Day on campus. Early in October of that same year we held our first class elec- tions and chose the following men to lead us during the remainder of our Freshman year: President ..V .. . ... Charles Arndt ViceePresident ........ James Olsen Secretary ........................... , Lawrence Favreau Treasurer ...... Richard Hennessy Historian . Peter McTaggert Under the able guidance of our Moderator, Rev. Robert F. Gabel, O.F.M., we settled down to study and plan for the events that we would be actively engaged in during the remainder of the year. September of 1954 meant a great deal to our class, for now we had reached the long envied stature of being Sophomores . No longer were we neophytes . We established an outstanding name for ourselves during this our second year at Siena because of the suc- cess of the Sophomore Soiree and the fact that the class float cap- tured second place in the Pep Rally Parade. Most important was that fact that the class as a whole had a great deal of spirit . This same pirit was much in evidence at the two dinner meetings and the pic- Iic held by the class. We were ably lead by the following students during our Sopho- 1ore year: resident Charles Arndt ice-President . . Thomas Jeram ecretary Richard Hennessy reasurer V . .. . . .. . Lawrence Favreau istorian .. , .. , ., ....... Cornelius O'Donnell Returning to classes in the fall of 1955, the members of the class egan to plan for the many events that the Junior Class would sponsor luring the academic year. The duly elected class officers for the tear were: 'resident .. , William Senno lice-President Salvatore Catalano Secretary ..... Russell Topping Treasurer ., . . .. Bernard Shannon Historian ......... L . Thomas Quinn Besides these men, three others from our class were elected to i represent the entire student body on the Student Senate. They were: REV. ROBERT F. GABEL, O.F.M. Moderator Michael Opar, Treasurer; Lawrence Favreau, Secretary; and Cornelius O'Donnell, Representative-at-Large. William Senno, as President of his Class, also received a place on the Senate. The most notable activity of the Class during this year was the inauguration of the first Social Weekend ever held on the Siena Campus. With William Senno ancl Salvatore Catalano serving as Co- Chairman, the weekend was divided into three segments; the Junior Prom on Friday night, the lnter-Club Council Carnival on Saturday night, and the Jazz Concert on Sunday afternoon. It will always be remembered as one of the most memorable events ever held at Siena. Our Senior year began with an air of expegtation. Withtthe ex- perience we gained during the past three years we wereready to make this, our last year at Siena, the best yet; iln the previous semester we elected the following men to serve as Class officers during our Senior Year: i t President . . .. ............................. ,lLawremes-LEgvreau Vice-President ............ i yBernqzdfshannon Secretary RusSelltTJofbping Treasurer ..

LON 'S'IGMA DELTA EPSILON SIGMA Left to Right: J. Robinson, J. Connors, F4 Rourke, Mr. D. Colbert Delta Epsilon Sigma is the National Scholastic Honor Society for students of Catholic Colleges and Universities. At Siena, the Beta Psi Chapter of DES was established in 1954. In the three years of its existence, membership has grown to forty. Requirements for election to the society are very high, and the number of students who may be elected each year is restricted. A second semester iunior, whose cumulative scholastic index is 2.2 or higher, and who exhibits such character traits as to make mem- bership beneficial to the society, may be nominated. If this criterion is maintained, the student is invited to become a member in his senior year. Seniors may become eligible up to graduation. In addition two alumni may be selected each year and graduate students are also eligible. Induction takes place before all members at a solemn Ritual presided over by the officers of the Sieno Chapter. A dinner usually follows the formal induction ceremony. In 1956-57 the following were elected to Delta Epsilon Sigma: Josinc Gertrude Bakker, B.A.; Gerald Eric Bogdanowicz, B.B.A.; Erwin Richard Bogenrieder, B.A.; Lawrence James Bradley, B.A.; John An- thony Brendese, B.A.; John Harold Connors, 8.5.; John Joseph DiDom- enico, B.S.,- Jock Dolab, B.B.A.; William Patrick Gettings, B.B.A.; George Wells Miller, B.B.A.; Thomas Edward O'Donnell, B.B.A.; Angela Mary Pochmun, B.B.A.; John David Robinson, B.S.; Francis Michael Rourke, 8.5.; and Alexander Varga. 126 q Gan v Fugm 7h M - Open House Sy Patuv a.

M VWM SAGA On the pages of this annual are re- corded the achievements of the many clubs and organizations of Siena College. The achievements of the Staff on the 1957 SAGA speak for themselves. This book is a living tribute to those men who unself- ishly donated their time and talents in order to make possible the publication of this yearbook. The guiding hand of the Staff, who through his unending drive and at times llpush,ll was its Editor-in-Chief, Sal Cata- lano. To him we offer a well deserved thanks ! Our Assistant-Editors, Neal O'Donnell, Frank Hurd, and Dick Englander did every job from composing write-ups to pre- paring lay-outs . They also deserve a llwell done . We wish to express our sincere gratitude to Bill Forget for his co- operation and assistance during prepa- ration. Pete McKenna, our Copy Editor, and his assistant, Bill Barnes, earned their laurels for their excellent work in com- posing llwrite-ups and proof reading copy. To them we express our gratitude. While most of the students spent their free time eating lunch and relaxing, Harry Corr, our Activities Editor, was busy scheduling club pictures and guiding our photographer, Jack Gormley, to the var- ious organizations to take the old tin- types . We also wish to thank Boice Stu- dios and Auggie Weiss for their photo- graphic contributions to this annual. We are indebted to Stan Karbowski, our Business Manager, for his work in balancing the budget and in soliciting advertisements and patrons for the pub- lication. Thanks Stan. Our Sports Editor, Dick Parisi, deserves a big round of applause for the. terrific job he did on the sports writeups. To Bill Senno, Jerry Fitzgerald, Jude Bourdeau, and Ray Verdile, we wish to express ou appreciation for all that they have done in helping us. Last, but by no means least we want to put on record our heartfelt thanks to our Moderator, Reverend Robert F. Ga- bel, O.F.M., for all the inspiration and guidance that he so gladly gave to the staff.

It is fitting, on the twentieth anniversary of Sienu to trace the growth of The News, as it is Siena's oldest publication, organized in 1938 just one year after the starting of the school. It remained in operation until 1941, when war broke out. It ceased pub- lications from that time until 1945, when the war was over and students began to return to school. At first it was published sporadically, but in 1948 the paper assumed the role of a weekly. Each Friday during the regular school year, eager students devour the latest news items and features. The primary function of The News is to bring information of Siena to the attention of the students. It fulfills this aim by a com- plete coverage of the campus, both news- wise and picture-wise. Under the guidance of Faculty Advisor, Rev. Aloysius Siracuse, O.F.M., the paper begins to take shape on Monday of each week, and late Tuesday the paper is put to bed . The Siena News staff is headed this year by the Editor-in-Chief, J. Vincent Chester- field, who cracks the whip over Assistant Editor David Fohey and Associate Editor Robert M. Correale. Other members of the staff include: News Editor Rayfnond M. Raf- ferty; Feature Editor George Maksail; Pho- tographer Augie Weiss; Art Editor Rudolph Puma; and Siena News Delegate to the Stu- dent Senate, Richard Hennessy. The paper is affiliated with the Inter- collegiate Press and the Associated College Press and is also a member of the Intercol- Iegiate Newspaper Association. 130 Father Aloysius and the stuff check a col- umn Standing, Left to Right: J.

Tooher, THE BEVERWYCK The creative talents of Siena students in the field of writing are vividly ex- pressed in the literary magazine of the college. This publication, aptly named The Beverwyck , was introduced on the campus in April of 1947. On this, the Tenth Anniversary of the magazine, the members of the Staff look back with iusti- fiable pride on the accomplishments of their predecessors. Under the guidance of their Modera- tor, Rev. Charles V Hayes, O.F.M., the Staff combines short stories, poemsfar- ticles, and features which they have created in each bi-yearly edition. The appearance of the Fall and Spring edi- tions of The Beverwyck on the campus creates an atmosphere of diligent reading on the part of the student body. The Beverwyck , is claimed by many to be one of the most praiseworthy activities of the College. This place of honor is the result of hard and laborious work on the part of the resourceful staff. The Staff for the Academic year 1956- 1957 are: Editor-in-Chief Salvatore D. Catalano Editor-Night School Pat Hayes Associate Editor Frank Miazga Editorial Board ..

THE SWORDUOF THE SPIRIT The essence of Paul of Torsus' person- ality, like a glowing flame which illumi- nated 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 headon, without com- promise. Impatiently, fearlessly, quickly, he tore away hypocrisy, smugness, self- ishness. 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 Paul used in his missionary travels. In the midst of Roman decadence, he was the spearhead of a great movement for renewed social life based on the Word of God. The title of the weekly religious bui- Ietin at Siena lives up to its name by em- phasizing the importance of the Word of God, the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, in modern society. It reminds us of the bat- tle between the body and the spirit. It contains brief but blunt articles concern- ing man's struggles with the forces of evil. It offers suggestions to the students for leading a fuller spiritual life. Catho- lics today need the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, THE WORD OF GOD to fight the onslaughts of the world, the flesh and the devil. REV. ROBERT F. GABEL, O.F.M.

The first govern- ing body was elected by the first class in 1937 and was named the Student Senate of Siena College. Nominations and elections are held each Spring and the candidates are drawn from the Student Association which in- cludes all fully matriculated undergraduate students attending Siena College. The four officers of the Senate and its nine members, many of whom are representatives from key campus organizations, serve for a term of one year. The executive, legislative, and iudicial powers of the Stu- dent Association rest in the Student Senate. Under the guidance of their Moderator, Rev. Chrysostom Murphy, O.F.M., and their President, William Senno, the Senate fosters harmonious rela- tions between the Faculty and the Student Association. It co- ordinates the academic, religious, and social activities of Siena College. The Student Senate in addition to governing the student body of the College, also sponsors many extra-curricular activi- ties during the academic year. In order to promote more con- genial relationships with area women's colleges, the Senate arranges open houses. Among its other diversified activities, it arranges for Jazz Concerts, Student Outings, the Annual Christ- mas Assembly, and the Leadership Training Program. The latter prepares the prospective officers of the Senate and Classes for the leadership role that they will assume upon their election. The Senate plays an integral part in every facet of campus ac- tivity and constantly endeavors to mold Cl Christian gentleman and 0 true Siena man. 9, RICHARDJENN av Sena News , Representative REV. CHRYSOSTOM MURPHY, O.F.M., Moderator One of the more prominent organizations on the campuses of Catholic Colleges is the National Federation of Catholic Col- lege Students. Siena College is a member of the Eastern New York-New Jersey Region of the NFCCS which is comprised of student delegations from twenty-three Catholic Colleges be- tween Albany and New Jersey. Siena entered the NFCCS in 1945. We are one of the more than 180 Catholic Colleges which represent nearly 200,000 students. The National Federation, aimed at promoting the Lay Apostolate on College campuses of the country, works through a Commission Plan. These Commissions, or concentrated fields of endeavor, work to stimulate Catholic thought in already exist- ing clubs. This year, in order to bring this Commission Plan to the campus level, Siena has formed, under Constitution, what is known as the NFCCS Campus Board. The Board is made up of men elected from each of the classes and those clubs whose field of endeavor fits into the Commission framework. This Board forms a concrete nucleus to work with the National Or- ganization. Through the Board, it is possible to reach each student on the campus. 136 Brady, T. Cuufield, G. Callaghan, T. Holmes. Officers and Moderator, Left to Right: B. Barnes, Father Chrysostom, E. Murcil. In addition to linking the campus to the Federation, the Board also sponsors many activities and events on the campus. Most noteworthy of last year's events were the initiating of the Siena Campus Charities Drive and hosting some 150 students of the Region in a two-day April meeting.

Marcil, F. Hurd, M. REV. ROBERT F. GABEL, O.F.M. Moderator Francis of Assisi took the Work of the Gospel of Christ as if addressed to him personally. After all, was not the Gospel a 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 intended 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 commitments and obligations made it impossible for many to leave the world and live in a Friary. 80, 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 perfec- tion that is available to every condition of life, to every age and to both sexes, without breaking family bonds or house- hold ties. His Third Order was founded to sanctity its members 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 Project towards the Orphans in Albany was a big success at Christmas time. More than 30,000 Meal Prayer Cards were distributed in this area and two Franciscan missionaries in Japan have been adopted by the Siena Fraternity. Church supplies, ciothes and books are collected and sent to Japan by the members. THE THIRD ORDER OF ST. FRANCIS Left to Right: P. Barrett, Lawr- ence Bradley, Stanley Karbowski, William Acquario, David Fahey. The Sieno College Gavel Club opened the fall semester by taking first-place at the St. John Fisher Debate Tourney and winning the championship trophy. Here as in tournaments held by Hamilton, Vermont, Rochester and St. Anselm's, the spirited Gav- eliers proved the match of such colleges as Fordham, Dartmouth, Georgetown, Michigan State, West Point, Trinity, and Rutgers. Debates with local colleges in the Siena- initioted Novice Training Program added more opportunities for debate. The third annual Siena College Debate Tourney, held in March, drew debating powers from throughout the East to compete for the Father Vincent Devine O.F.M., Memorial Trophy. A month earlier the Gaveliers played host to area high schools in a tournament for future Gavoliers. Assistance to diocesan debate teams was a major work of the club. Parliamentary debating at the Mock Senate and the Intercollegiate Assembly added variety to the Spring calendar. Parliamentary procedure classes are also spon- sored by the Club each year to teach students at the college the essentials of parlia- mentary procedure. A further change of pace was the banquet program where after dinner speakers from the Club's own Speakers Bureau contributed to the enioyment. Guest speakers from the Faculty and informal discussions enlivened the weekly meetings held in the Gavel Club Room located in the E BuiIding. Gaveliers also won Sieno Distinction in Capital District Orotorical contests. The club was honored with two seats on the new NFCCS Campus Board. Both the International Relations and the Forensics Chairmen served on that body in an effort to promote Catholic Action. 138 Moderator . , , . . Rev. Vianney Vormwald, O.F.M. President ,. ,, ., ., .

The Siena College Glee Club was organized in 1954 under the direction of Reverend Lawrence Roinville, O.F.M. Since their incep- tion the troubadours ot the 1'Green and Gold have grown in size and ability. Indeed, the Glee Club is one of the most active groups on the campus as it meets for rehearsal twice weekly and represents the col- lege at many functions. Among the many activities in which the Glee Club has partici- pated are: the annual Pep Rally, The Italian Club Christmas Party tor orphans, the annual Christmas Assembly, and the Christmas sing at the New York Central Station in Albany. The Spring Semester saw no lack of activity in the Club. Early March brought tune-ups at two local hospitals, St. Peteris and the Veterans. In quick succession appearances were made on two of the local television stations, WRGB and WTRI. Another first for the club was their participation in the Albany Miss America Contest spon- sored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. All this was by way of apex tor the semester's highlight, reached on the clubis second annual concert tour to the environs of New York City. Armed with a formid- able repertoire and tour contracts , the men of song invaded the Franciscan parishes at Calicoon, St. Stephen's and Holy Cross in New York and one in Signoc, New Jersey. Included on the trip was a tour of the Ed Sullivan TV show. A new innovation for the club was the smart green blazers which were first worn to the Fall dinner, sponsored by the Glee Club which was held at the Hot Shoppes Restaurant. 140 Club Officers for the year 1956-57 are: Moderator and Director Rev.

Kelly, Director, and Rev. Patrick Callaghan, O.F.M., Moderator, this year completed one of its most active and successful seasons. The club's pur- pose is to stimulate interest in the Dramatic Arts on the Siena Campus and provide an outlet for dramatic talent which the student might possess. Having successfully completed their second sea- son of SummereStock, in which they presented Bou- cicault's London Assurance and two plays by G.B. Shaw, Missalliance and Arms and the Man , the Players embarked on their fall production. In con- junction with The Shadows of the College of St. Rose, the Players presented Accent on Shakespeare , a montage of four of Shakespeare's greatest plays. The Players' winter show was Herman Wouk's The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial which won praise from area audiences when taken on a tour of the local play- houses, as well as from students when staged at COVENTRY PLAYERS Gibbons Hall. The traditional Passion Play was presented on the campus during the Easter Season. In betwen major productions such as these, the Players participated in The Eastern lnter-Collegiate Play Competition which is held annually at neighbor- ing colleges. They also sponsored their own one-act play competition, the Inter-Scholastic Play Competi- tion, for the benefit of the Dramatics Clubs of area high schools. Realizing the hard work and exacting skill in- volved in the presentation of a smooth, professional- Iike production, members of the Players not only en- gage in acting, but also in the stage-crafts of light- ing, make-up, set design and set building which provides them with a well rounded knowledge of the many facets of the Dramatic Arts.

Sigma Beta Sigma has the honor of being the school's largest and foremost busi- ness organization. The organization's membership is restricted to students in the Busi- ness Division. It is well known on campus as the Siena Business Society. The formal aim of the society is to stimulate the student's knowledge of business to a point where he may expertly apply it to the various business fields and professions. The society is indebted to the numerous speakers and lecturers who graciously donate their time in relating their personal and professional experiences of opportunities and activities in the business world today. Special meetings are arranged with local college business clubs to inter-communicote personal ideas and theories. Through the func- tions of the society the student associates with his classmates in'discussing the merits and demerits of possible future occupations. , Due to the clubs large membership there are various committees to relieve some of the burden from the club officers and distribute it to many rather than a few. The committees are: Membership, Intra-Club Activities, lnter-Club Activities, Speakers, and Athletic. The society has its play time also with informal get-togethers. Of these socials the Annual Christmas Party stands high on the Fall semester calendar with invitations to the faculty and administration. The social calendar for the Spring semester finds the Annual Dinner Dance a much looked for success. Front Row, Left to Right: P. Vinett, Rt Ryan, N, Goca, Mr. Froment, C. Wong, T. Evans, J. Dolub.

The main function of the organization is to familiarize its members with applied theory in the field of Finance. The club brings leaders from the various fields of Finance to the campus to lecture to the club members during its monthly meeting. During the past years representatives of insurance companies, commercial banks and stock ex- changes have addressed the organization. Each year, the club, with the assistance of its moderator, arranges a trip to the financial district of New York City.

The purpose of the club is to provide information and social activities for the Siena veteran. The program of aid to the disabled veterans at Albany Veterans Hospital was continued by escorting disabled veterans to Siena Athletic events, and to other social events in the area.

This year the name of the club has been changed from ll Circolo Italiano to La Casa ltalica . In view of fulfilling the aims set forth in the new constitution, i. e. the propagation and sus- taining of Italian Literature and Culture, the club plans the purchase of a map of Italy for the Italian Department and the distribution of pamphlets concerning Italian Literature and Culture. The annual spring semester dinner meeting was held at Ferro's Restaurant in Schenectady. The gathering was addressed by Fr. Andrew Nargay, O.F.M., who spoke on Italy's Gifts to Western Civilization . Another dinner meet- ing and a Communion breakfast in honor of the club's patron, Saint Anthony of Padua, are planned for the fall semester. Of course, the highlight of the club's activi- ties was the eighth annual Orphan's Christmas Party. The party is financed by contributions from Siena students and business men of the Tri-City area. This year's party was the largest ever held as the club played host to about eighty-five orphans from St. Joseph's, St. Cole- man's, La Salle, and the Schenectady County Home. The children were treated to movies, refreshments, and gifts from Santa Claus. President .. Patrick A. Montenaro Vice-President . ..... Frank Visco Secretary , . .. .

Moderator The Varsity Club was primarily established to foster among its members a more profound responsibility as re- gards their faith by group attendance at Mass and reception of Holy Communion on designated occassions. In addition to this the club undertakes the promotion of inter-collegiate omity by the concerted 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 CI maior or minor sport. The club was ably led during the 1956-1957 season by its President, Frank Connelly. Row 1: Rev. Canon Welsh, O.F.M., Moderator, Arndt, C., Gyves, J., Connelly, F., Spinelli, L.

The 1956-1957 Troy Club boasts 125 members. The main purpose of this organization is to provide social activities for Siena students from the Troy area. High points of the school year for the club are the dinner meetings and the dinner dances. The club has many members engaged in varsity athletics, the Student Senate, Siena publications, and almost all activities on the campus. Participation in intramural sports, campus carnivals, and other functions was also shown by the club members. Under the leadership of James Rourke, the Greater Troy Area Club enjoyed a most successful year and all evidence indicates bigger and better years in the future.

Under the guidance of its capable new moderator, Rev. Amadeus Fiore, O.F.M., the 1956-'57 edition did well by its predecessors, adding another active page to its young four year history. Founded in September, 1953, under Father Robert F. Gabel, O.F.M., Sigma Lambda Alpha set out to promote a unity among boarding students which had been lacking up to that time. This purpose was more than fulfilled, and from this unity grew an enthusiasm which pervaded not only the activities of the club itself, but those of the other campus organizations and of the student body as a whole. In its early years, this enthusiasm grew steadily, and continued to do so under the guid- ing hand of Father Conran Babcock, O.F.M., moderator for the 1955-'56 school year. As is the case with any successful organization, a proportionate rise in member- ship accompanied the rise in group enthusiasm. So much has the membership increased, in fact, that it seems in the future, the club might be forced to leave its newly acquired clubroom in the search for more space. Although this association has reached great heights in fulfilling its original ambitions, it may be looked upon to be even more useful to its members and the college in the years ahead.

The new Amateur Radio Club was started in September 1956 on the foundation of the old radio club that has been inactive for CI number of years. The purpose of the club is to stimulate interest in amateur radio activities by providing facilities for operating and building equipment associated with this hobby. The facilities include 0 club room in the A building where a com- plete radio station has been set up. The membership is composed of students from every division of the College. A Iong-time amateur radio operator, Rev. REV. LEO BROWN, O.F.M. Leo Brown, O.F.M., is the Club moderator. The President of the Club is Philip 154 Moderator E. Reilly. The German Club was organized in January of 1947 with Dr. Herbert Fuerst as its moderator. It was or- ganized by the German Department of the College in order to increase the knowledge of German culture, education and politics amang Ger- man language students and former students. The Club meets in the Rathskeller of the Little Bavaria Restaurant in Albany on the first Friday evening of each month. A speaker, usually an expert in his particular field, presents a talk on some aspect of German life or history, followed by a discussion period with the mem- bers. bk; HERBERT FUERST A Moderator 156 Siena Women's Club or Mother's Club be- gan in 1940 under the direction of the college's first President, 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 Buiger, Mrs. Walter Mooney, Mrs. Thomas Scanlon, and Mrs. Sylvester McGeever. The Siena Women's Club has been very active throughout its 17 years of existence, and its members have made numerous donations to the College. Among the gifts which the College has received are the statue of St. Bernardine 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 Chapel which was dedicated in May of 1951 by the Rev. Mark Kennedy, O.F.M. Besides these numerous donations, the club sponsors an annual fashion show, card party, a Christmas party for the faculty, and a Com- munion Breakfast. Currently serving as President of the club is Mrs. Rudolph Puma with the Rev. Edmund Christy, O.F.M., serving as Moderator and Rev. Beniamin Kuhn, O.F.M., serving as Assistant Moderator. The Officials Club was organized three years ago under the auspices of Rev. Winfred Ryan, O.F.M. Now under the direction of Mr. Leo Callahan, the Club has had another fine year in officiating at all intramural activities. This year, we have surpassed the record-breaking membership made during the 1955-1956 season, with an enrollment of twenty-tive members. The work of the Officials Club has greatly increased the importance of intramural sports on the Siena Campus, through its game officiating. The Code of our Club is fair THE CLUB play and sportsmanship, and these ends are attained through the cooperation of the Student Body and the Club's conscientious officials. The experience of our members has been rewarding to them, as evidenced by some being chosen to officiate at local high school games and a few being made members of the Capital District Referees Association. Another activity of the Club is a field trip to tournament cities to witness the officiating and playing of the top col- legiate teams of the country. 157 t, OFFICIALS 158 BIOLOGY CLUB The Biology Club of Siena College was organized in 1947 in honor of Rev. Gregor Mendel, a Benedictine monk. Father Mendel, who lived in the late nineteenth century, was the founder of the present science of Modern Genetics. The club has a two-fold purpose, one social and the other academic. Socially, it promotes extra-curricular activities among students in the Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental aspects of Biology and related fields. The academic purpose is to present lectures by outstanding men in professions of Medicine, Dentristy and their related fields. Membership is open to any students interested in Biology, especially those who are pre-medical, pre-dental or Biology majors. The highlight of the Club's activities for the present school year was the Dinner Dance which was held at the Crooked Lake Hotel in Averill Park. Invitations were sent to area Doctors and Dentists as well as students now in Medical and Dental schools who completed their undergraduate studies at Siena. It is hoped by all that this will be an annual affair. Trips to weIl-known area factories and research centers are sponsored by the club to better acquaint members with the various fields they are studying. Night meetings with lectures by men prominent in fields of Medicine and Biology are held. The final activity of the year is the annual picnic held in May at Thatcher Park, at which the Officers for the Coming school year are elected.

This year's rally was pronounced an overwhelming success by all who attended. The events of the evening included a huge sacrificial bonfire, bomb- astic cheers from the enthusiastic throngs that attended and a colorful float parade in which the entry from the Junior Class, depicting an immense paper mache Indian, won first prize. The Varsity cheerleaders headed by Bob Mulvey and six distaff cheer- leaders from St. Peter's School of Nursing led the milling crowd to the gym where the evening was climaxed by the introduction of the Siena Varsity players by Coach Cunha. An enjoyable informal dance followed the ex- uberant singing of the Siena Fight Song. 177 84-032186 Front, Left to Right: John Girard, Tim Kove, Julius Scutari, Frank Connelly, Glenn Thurber, Jack Weaver.

The 1956-57 edition of Siena's court representatives appeared to be a dismal team which had everything to be desired. When the first practice was held in October, Coach Dan Cuhna was faced with a squad composed of three re- turnees from the previous season - two regulars and one reserve. He had lost high scoring Tim Hill and ace rebounder Frank Koenig and had only 6-2 John Obermayer ond Cap- toin Frank Connelly held over from his starting team of the previous year. Bob Oechslin at 6-3 was the tallest player on the squad. The team was quickly dubbed Cuhna's midgets . However, when the season ended, the charges of Mr. Cuhna did quite a respectable job with their twenty game schedule. Although posting only a 5-15 record the team showed constant improvement in every game. The Green and Gold cagers, who yielded at least three inches in height to every team they faced took decisions from Iona, St. Francis, West Point Military Academy, Albany State Teach- ers and St. Anselms. N.I.T. bound Manhattan iust squeezed by the Indians. The biggest improvement on the team was in the per- son of Sophomore Bill Nash. The Albanian standing only 6-2 was one of the top rebounders in almost every game Siena played. Junior reserve Dave Colbert played excep- tional ball at the tail end of the season while relieving the regulars. Little John Girard, 5-6 Sophomore from Cohoes, sparked the team with his hustle and many fine defensive moves. Mid-season saw Sophomore Red Singsheim 0 Villa- nova transfer become eligible and the 6-2 Schenectadian added a tremendous scoring punch and defensive strength to the starting lineup. Not to go unnoticed was the tran- sition of high scoring Obermayer from forward to center. The Greenbush Junior had to play the pivot because he was the tallest man on the starting team and always had the tallest opponent guarding him. Obie finished the sea- son with the second highest scoring average in the history of Siena. I-I-lew-Imxmzbw Indian Captain Pops Connelly INDIVIDUAL SCORING G FG FP TP AVG.

REV. ALPHONSUS CONNORS Athletic Director Fr. Alphonsus Connors, O.F.M., long a member of the Arts Division faculty, as- sumed the role of Athletic Director in Sept- ember of 1956. He replaced Fr. Michael J. Feeney, O.F.M., who was reassigned as Treasurer of the College. Fr. Alphonsus is a native of Buffalo, New York. He taught at Siena in 1942. The next year Fr. Alphonsus was assigned to St. Joseph's Seminary in Callicoon, New York to teach until 1946. In 1947 he returned to Siena as Assistant Dean of Men, a position he held until his appointment as Chairman of the Arts Divi- sion in 1950. Despite the overwhelming odds, Fr. Alphonsus has accomplished a great deal since he has been in his new iob. Siena still has a top flight basketball schedule. Baseball, which returned in 1956 gained more impetus and the Intramural leagues were more successful this year than in many years under this new Director of Athletics. BEHIND THE SCENES Graduate Manager, Leo Callahan Head Coach and Assistant Athletic director Dan Cuhna Dan Cuhna has iust completed his thirteenth year as coach at Sinea. He took charge of the basketball team in 1943-44 season and has been at the helm ever since. Cuhna is a native of St. Petersburg, Florida. He attended school in that southern state and in 1931 he entered Notre Dame University where he played basketball and basebal! under George Keoghan. In 1935 he graduated and came to the East where he eventually took over as coach at Vincentian Institute, Albany. He came to Siena in 1941 and coached minor sports before becoming head coach in 1943. In the past thirteen years he has com- piled the highly respectable basketball record of 181 wins and 121 losses. in recent seasons he has doubled in the position of baseball coach and cross- country coach as well as basketball mentor. The 1949-50 Siena team captured the National Catholic Invitational Tourney under the direction of Cuhna. His best season statistically was the 1949-50 sea- son when the team finished with 27 wins and 5 losses. Bill Johnson, Ed Lange, and Ken Parker in WPTR broadcasting booth. That Obermayer drive again John Girard INDIANS DROP OPENER TO LEMOYNE The Washington Avenue Armory was the site of the first game of the 1956-57 season. Under the direction of Fr. Alphonsus Connors, O.F.M., newly appointed Director of Athletics, and Dan Cuhna, Coach, the spirited team suffered its first defeat of the season. The Indians were outplayed, out-rebounded and as a consequence, out-scored as they came up with only 41 markers while LeMoyne gathered a 74 total. The Cuhnamen hit on a poor 170A: of their shots. The spectators whooped and hollered through-out the game in an effort to help the team catch fire but the fire was never kindled. Obermayer and Weaver led the Loudonville boys with T4 and 11 respectively. Captain Frank Connelly was unable to connect on his set shots and the rest of the team was unable to get the ball inside to the big- ger boys who were checked well by a well balanced LeMoyne team. OBERMAYER TIES RECORD AGAINST BONAS John Obermayer, although hampered from the field, managed to tie a school record by converting 15 of 18 tries from the charity stripe in this 77-51 loss to the Brown Indians from Olean. Obie tied the record of 15 fouls in a single game which was previously held by Jack Curry who turned the trick against Louisville in 1953. Bill Nash and Jack Weaver aided Obermayer in keeping the score as close as it was by contributing T2 and 11 points each. Actually Siena stayed with the Bonnies for about 30 minutes of the 40 minute contest but the big Brown lndian's sharpshooters and pass stealers, Don New- hook and Brendan McCann turned the tide in the last 10 minutes. The Cuhnamen, hitting a 30.8 from the field, were again led by the tough-to-stop John Obermayer who garnered 23 points. In overall games since the first Siena-Bonnies tilt in 1939 St. Bonaventures hold the lead with 15 wins over Siena with only 5 losses to the Loudonville Indians. 180 Jump ball Bill Nash Jack Weaver HARTWICK HEIGHT HOLDS INDIANS, 64-54 The overall height and rebounding ability of the Hartwick five from Oneonta caused havoc with the Indians of Loudonville as Hartwick bettered the Indians 64-54 in a game at Gibbons Hall on the Siena campus. The Indians started well opening up a big lead of 23-11 in the first half but before the intermission Hartwick had cut the lead to 33-26. Siena came out after intermission showing something which was noticeable all season, the inability to play a good third quarter, and before the Cuhnamen could score, the Hartwick team had closed to within one point 33-32. Again it was Obermayer who showed the way with 27 points, 17 of which were scored in the first half. Weaver again assisted in the scoring column by adding 12 markers. Hartwick caught fire in the second half and it took all Siena had to keep the game from becoming a rout. He's on our side Who does he think he is, Bob Cousy? Block that kick! Don Wilson 182 How much time, Lou? Obie's got it Butter fingers GAELS UPSET ON JACK WEAVER'S LAST SECOND JUMP SHOT Little Jack Weaver's 20 foot jump shot in the closing seconds of play gave Siena a 50-49 verdict over Iona College in the Albany Armory. The win, Siena's first in five tries, came over the highly favored New Rochelle five which had a starting team averag- ing 6-3. The Indians played a deliberate brand of ball, taking only good shots, knowing that the Gaels would control the bockboards. After a nip and tuck first half the score was knotted at 30 apiece. The second half was played much the same as the first with the greatest bulge being a 41-36 edge held by the Green and Gold. Going into the final minute Iona was ahead by one point. The Indians then froze the ball and played for the last shot of the game which Weaver took. John Obermayer paced the lniuns with 22 points while Stan Hill led the visitiors with 16. Siena shot 34.506 from the field as compared to the 35.80A of Iona. Almost but not quite Tim Kove INDIANS FALL PREY TO PURPLE EAGLES Very elated after upsetting the highly favored Iona quintet, the Indians hoped to make it two in a row by knocking off another favorite, Niagara. However, the Purple Eagles had no intentions of making host Siena happy as they kept the Indians constantly off balance in winning, 81-46. Facing another tall and experienced squad the Indians tried their best but just couldn't catch up to the visitors. Siena's best spurt came midway in the x..- - second half when they outscored the visitors, 12-2, , before the Taps Gallagher crew applied the stopper. X Frank Connelly led the Indian assault with 14 k5 points, followed by John Obermayer who fired in 10. Niagara was led by Boo Ellis with 19. Percentage wise Niagara shot 4005 as compared to the 2670 shot by Siena. Dave Colbert Hey gang, I've got it MANHATTAN SECOND HALF OVERPOWERS SIENA, 62-54 It was an inspired Siena five that awed the Man- hattan marksmen in the first half of the traditional rivalry in the Armory. It took the Jaspers, fresh from winning the Holiday Festival in New York City, all they could muster in the second half to pull out the game, 62-54. Sophomore Red Singsheim, playing his first game under the Green and Gold colors, performed brilliant- ly by pumping in four field goals, grabbing ten re- bounds and constantly breaking up Manhattan plays. However, height and marksmanship, Manhattan's forte came through to give the visitors the nod. The Indians were paced by John Obermayer, back in shape after a battle with the virus, with 20 points. Pops Connelly helped with 11 mainly on his quick set shot. 184 SIENH SUBDUES TERRlERS em v -v Nw-W-w Siena fired up, Indians behind twice by 12 points took a 73-71 foul line decision from St. Francis of Brooklyn. The upset partly avenged a 69-50 setback pinned on the Green and Gold two weeks previous in Brooklyn. Jock Weaver's foul conversions gave the Loudon- ville tribe the lead, 68-67, with 1:40 left in the game. However, field goals by the boys from Dodgertown were nullified by the charity tosses of John Obermayer and Frank Connelly. Top point man for Sieno was Obermayer with 21, followed by Connelly and Red Singsheim with 15 apiece. Flashy backcourt ace Tony D'Eiio paced the Terriers with 21. St. Francis scored three more goals than Siena, but the Indians converted 21 of 30 foul shots as compared to the Blue and Redts 13 of 23.

SIENH OUTSHUOTS Frank Connelly The Indians, not having a Varsity football team, still pinned a 68-62 defeat on the West Point Military ' Academy's grid basketball team in the Albany Armory before 2500 fans. A fifty one percent first half shooting exhibition put on by the Indians enabled them to walk off the court with a 42-22 half time bulge. For the second attack the Army sent in their foot- ball squad to try to stop the red hot Indian raid. The tactics partially worked as the Cadets pulled to within five points with little over a minute remaining. A field goal by Bill Nash and a free throw by Red Singsheim iced the game for the Green and Gold. In the parade to the foul line the Pointers com- mitted 33 personals while the Indians were charged with 24. Army threw a record 98 passes at the hoop with only 19 falling in. As usual John Obermayer conned 25 points for scoring honors. He was followed by Nash with 13 and Frank Connelly and Jack Weaver who each dropped in 12. Just missed. Two shots for Nash. Siena air attack. 186 Obie taps in rebound good for two points Skeet: Scutcri Glenn Thurber WILLIAMS NIPS SIENA RALLY Williams College played the role of the ungrate- ful guest as they nipped Siena, 74-71, to stop the Indians' two game win streak. Although outscored from the field by eight points, the Ephmen made good of 26 foul conversions in the sloppily played match at Gibbons Hall. The taller Williams quintet controlled both back- boards and also kept the Green and Gold outside with their tight zone defense. Jack Weaver, 5-9 Sienc Sophomore, put on a terrific exhibition of rebounding in the second half which enabled the guest team to close a scoring gap that had reached 14 points at one time. In the closing minutes of the contest, with Siena only three points behind, the Indians lost the fourth member of the starting lineup via the five personal fouls rule. This hurt the Indian cause as only John Obermayer was left from the starting five. Pops Connelly led the Siena scoring with 20 points followed by Red Singsheim's 13. The boys from Williamstown were led by Bill Hedeman who collected 28 counters, T4 of which came from the free throw line. Which way is up? Bob Oechslin INDIANS TEACH TEACHERS, 75-66 John Obermayer had himself a field day against Albany State Teachers College in the Armory collect- ing nine buckets and eight charity tosses for a 26 point collection, high for the evening. Terrific board control by Obie, Bill Nash and Dave Colbert helped greatly as the Indians outrebounded and outhustled the Feds to win 75-66. Each member of the Loudonville five turned in a tremendous performance and refused to be outdone by the classy Albany team. The contest was deadlock- ed 12 times and the lead changed hands 14 times before the Indians bolted from a 29-28 halftime edge to gain their biggest advantage at 75-62. Pepper- pots Frank Connelly, Jack Weaver and Red Singsheim kept the State defense constantly off balance with their playmaking and opportune scoring. Too many hands spoil the broth I didn't touch him, ref SIENA WINS, 73-63 AS HAWKS TAKE OFF Captain Frank Connelly and reserve Glenn Thur- ber appeared in their last home game for the Green and Gold and it was one of the most exciting and abrupt ending affairs played in Gibbons Hall. The official score read - Siena 73, St. Anselm's 63, when the Hawks coach decided to yank his team off the floor in protest to what he termed poor officiating . There was 1:04 remaining to be played in the game at the time. The Saints started fast but were dealt a big blow when they lost their big center Jack Collamore via the foul route. They led at the half, 37-27. Led by Connelly's set shots and Dave Colbert's driving Iayups off picks by John Girard and Bill Nash, the Indians started on the long comeback trail. They started upon a phenomenal shooting exhibition which produced a 64OA: shooting average before the visitors How ,0 mpms a teacher departed. Leading the lniun scoring was Connelly with 21 counters followed by John Obermayer's 16. lou Unright ZJeZIcnmx-n r-I-Jew-lrnxtnibw Front, left to Right: D. McCoubrey, Manager, L. Shantz, F.

The Freshman Basketball Team finished the 56-57 sea- son with an impressive 17 wins and two losses, and was one of the best yearling clubs in recent years at Siena. The young Indians participated in the newly formed Capitol District Basketball Conference and went undefeated, winning 12 straight. Included in these triumphs were out- standing victories over Jewish Community Center of Albany, Albany Business College Jayvees and Albany State Teachers Juyvees. Outside the Conference, the Frosh played some of their finest games. They held wins over Hartwick College Jayvees, Williams College Frosh, and Saratoga Air Base. The yearlings only two setbacks came at the hands of R.P.l. Frosh and Hartwick Jayvees at Oneonta. Throughout the season, several of the green and gold Top six on the Frosh squad 188 shown brightly. Those who showed particular promise in the next few years were John Legasse of Cohoes, Pat Mar- tone of Troy, Joe Miller from Poughkeepsie, and Tom Weinman of Albany. Legasse and Weinman possess deadly iump shots. Pat Mcrtone can do anything on a basketball court. He's a great floor man and rebounder. Joe Miller at 6'2 , tied Jack Weaver's scoring record for a single game, putting in 34 points against Albany Boys Club. Others whose steady play all year helped to establish such a fine record were; Bill Dutch Leonard of Albany, Dave Phelps of Mechanicville, Paul Morris of Albany, Gary Goodness of Cohoes, Frank Reid and Larry Shanz of Schen- ectady, and Tom Doyle of Albany.

INTER-COLLEGIATE BOWLING As the season came to a close the Sieno Inter-Collegiate Bowlers fought towards their third straight title in the Capital District Inter- collegiate Bowling League. The bowlers were also busy in the Middle Eastern College Athletic Association for the second year. Bowling is held every Tuesday evening on the alleys of Gibbons Hall. One of the leagues top bowlers, Dave Carpentier, the captain of the Siena team, led the team to the top with his consistent scoring. He was ably backed by Joe O'Con- nor, Bill Arcuri, Bill Stolz, John Sisk and Bob Coleman. The Capital District Intercollegiate Bowl- ing League is made up of teams from Siena, Hudson Valley Tech, Albany Business Col- lege, Albany State Teachers, Rensselaer Polytechnical Institute and Union College. Siena's 1-2 punch, Carpentier and O'Connor. r-in-V b wevm m, put; 190 After a lapse of four years, baseball was back in the air at Siena last spring. Coach Dan Cuhna pitted his boys against R.P.I., LeMoyne, Albany State, and Potsdam. The virtually inexperienced nine fought gamely in five games against the four foes, playing Lemoyne twice, but were outscored each time. Captain Glenn Thurber led the team in spirit as well as hitting. The spunky backstop col- lected most of the handful of hits that the Indians had. Thur- ber collected two doubles in the Albany State game which the Indians lost 10-9. Joe Smith, Dick Staszak and Jim McGuire were Cuhna's moundsmen. Jack Gyves, short stop, George Smith, 2nd base, and Bob Oeschlin, 'Ist base, were the big glovemen in the infield while Tim Kove and Norm Farrell roamed the outfield with some success.

Though they came up with a relatively poor record, Coach Dan Cuhna has hopes of building this sport to its full potential in the coming seasons. Jack Gyves captained his varsity crew which in- cluded Billy Maxwell, Walt Silverstein, Tim Kove, Jim Olsen and Paul Hintleman. A pleasing note is that all these men are returning next Fall. Joining the varsity will be Frosh co-captains Tom Nealon and Ralph Brown. Other Frosh harriers, Tom Weinman, Tom Doyle and Ken Schanz will move up. Highlighting the harriers schedule was the Middle Eastern College Athletic Association meet which was held on the Siena campus. For their first outing the Siena men finished in sixth place. Siena has also competed in the LeMoyne Invitational meet which in- cluded many of the top cross-country teams in the East. Among their dual-meet foes were R.P.l., Colgate and Cobleskill. Siena finished their season with an 0-4 record in dual meet competition, and they finished sixth and MECCA Tournament Cross Country Teams.

Rugged line play, sensational passing, astounding catches and ex- citing runs were featured in the touchdown duels. The Big Screebs, a seasoned, well-knit, weIl-quarterbacked club won the championship and carried off the All-Star Iaurels placing three men on the dream team. They were pressed by the surprising Hus Beens and the reiuvenated Gaels. The Siena News Intramural All Star Team, picked by the officials and sports writers included: Ends: Paul Hintleman, Big Screebs; Joe Butler, Big Screebs. Guards: Leo Reynolds, Has Beens; John O'Connor, Gaels. Center: Gene Riggi, Gaels. Backs: John Koval, Big Screebs; Ed McDonough, Has Beens; Bud Arndt, Gaels. Reynolds and Riggi were unanimous choices. This was the third consecutive year for O'Connor and Arndt. Indica- tive of the high scoring was the performance of Big Screeb back Jack Weaver who scored seventeen touchdowns. :5 Front, Left to Right: J. Mozzone, P. Kaufman, D. chbury, G. Kirsch, D. Linsey.

Originally the league was formed as a recreational affair but it finally was added to the Intramural Department. Sieno's representatives in the Capital District Inter- collegiate Bowling League were all bowlers in the Intramural League first. The top bowlers from the Intramural League are asked to compete in Varsity Bowling competition. Biennial banquets climax the yearIy activities. Tro- phies are awarded to the winning team and to the men who hold high triple, high single, high average and to the two hi-Io winners. Teams compete against each other at 3:30 on Monday afternoons in the Gibbons Hall alleys. This year as last there is one league consisting of six teams. Officers of the league are: President Duffy Bambury Treasurer Dick Richards Secretory Paul Kaufman Perfect form of the President Mike rocks 'em lntrannural With more teams entered than ever before, the intra- mural basketball program had their most successful season. A double elimination tournament was established by the Commissioners George Smith, Bill Dewey and Tim Kove. While most of the clubs spent the first few games polish- Basketba ing up their offense, the Big Screebs established themselves as the favorites by running up some impressive scores. The Gaels and Boarders No. 1 quintet were the ranking threats while the surprising Little Screebs and Popermakers were the darkhorses, Leo Callahan, Director of Intra- mural Athletics Yum . wurw ml mmr um kw uncon- vo nou- w. -..... .. urn; . v... .-.. -.. . .a m... ...-- w-mm - .1 u manual! -w ,.- g... ..... magazsx r! ulmtI-Ih'thvb-O-n 1mm Mwiwnmmudmu- Mlu.mea4u. .u-u wmuw-vrmu mu mu Mle-nhq :- w .. on no wIW.p....-, .dab Jun...- -5..- 1 vmuu- a .1... ---.. mm . w. -v -.... ,0 M, -n m n..u .n..- h ...... non: . mm ......

JEROME WALTON Chairman PLACEMENT BUREAU Since its inception in October, 1948, the Placement Bureau has had a threefold function: 'I. To assist in providing employment of a full-time na- ture to the graduate. To assist in providing employment opportunities of a part-time nature to those who desire to work while attending Siena. To serve as an information office and clearing house for various types of information such as: civil service examinations, public administration in- terneships, and graduate schlarships and fellow- ships at the various colleges and universities of the nation. A further function of the Placement Bureau is the annual Career Day which was held on No- vember 14th. This event as well as the other func- tions of the Placement Bureau rare under the direc- tion of Dr. Egon Ploger, Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Glenn W. S. Humphreys, Mr. Jerome Walton and the Placement Bureau Staff consisting of Miss Marie Thibodeau, Executive Assistant. The Career MISS MARIE THIBODEAU Day was opened by Rev. Edmund F. Christy, OFM, President of Siena College. The principal speaker for the occasion was the Honorable Leo W. O'Brien, Member of Congress. The Honorable Hugh Don- neliy, Mayor of Watervliet, presided over the Assembly. Following the opening assembly, the student body met in small groups, each of which was ad- dressed by thirty-two leading businessmen who described opportunities offered in their respective fields. Among the fields represented by the speakers were: teaching, social work, claims adiusting, ac- counting, chemical sales, physics, insurance, reli- gious vocations, personnel, medicine, finance, biol- ogy, chemistry, law, mathematics, group work and recreational activities, government service, sales, dentistry, association management and armed forces. REV. EUSEBIUS ARUNDEL, O.F.M. GUIDANCE CENTER The Guidance Center was established as another of the many personal services offered by Siena to her students. The goal of the Center is manyfold. The Guidance Counselors interview each student twice a year and at other times when useful or required. Through the use of specialized diag- nostic tests they aid the student in the solution of educational, vocational and personal prob- lems. The experienced personnel conduct an orientation program for all freshmen. A co-feature of the services offered by the Guidance Center is the Developmental Reading Clinic established in 1949 to assist problem readers of all ages. This clinic, the largest and most well equipped in the state, outside of New York City, is open to students from the pri- mary, secondary and college levels, as well as to interested adults from the business world. The full time staff of the Guidance Center is Rev. Eusebius Arundel, OFM and Dr. Ray- mond Dansereau. 200 BUSINESS FORUM In 1949 the Business Division of the college instituted the Siena College Business Forum. Meetings are held month- iy at Chancellors Hall in Albany and are open to the general public. Businessmen of national reputation lecture on topics 201 of current interest during the first part of the meeting and the second half is thrown open to the public for questions. During the past year, the Forum has held five meetings. The forum is under the direction of Mr. David Colbert. LIBRARY STAFF The Library, named after the very Rev. Jerome Daw- son, OFM, is situated on the south side of the campus on a site facing Gibbons Hall. This edifice, which contains two general reading rooms, was designed to harmonize with other campus buildings as a further development of the Siena quadrangle. During his stay at Siena, Father Dawson was Chairman of the Board of Trustees for six years and directed the planning and construction of Siena and Gibbons Hall. When his term of office as Minister Provincial of the Holy Name Province expired in 1943, he continued to serve on the Board of Trustees of Siena College until his death in 1945. 204 Special features of the library include a music room, c: periodical room, bibliographical room, conference rooms, micro-film rooms, repair and workroom, librarian's room, secretary's room, faculty room and a staff room. There are four floors of stock rooms accommodating 100,000 volumes and a spacious lobby, provides an entrance to the general reading room and contains a nine-unit counter height charg- ing desk, card catalogue cabinet for 40,000 cards, and consultation tables for catalogue trays. The library was designed by Rev. Brother Caietan J. B. Boumonn, OFM, AIA, of New York City. The general con- tractors were McMonus, Longe and Brockwehl of Albany, New York. gmmwwwwwwwwww'axo7wwvWWWWWWWWWWW3W$ g PATRONS FROM SENIORS' E E PARENTS g 3 MRS. ANNA BOGDANOWICZ MR. 8 MR5. C.
