HIS HOLINESS THE LATE POPE PIUS XII I pray tboxe whose affair it 1'; not to bother to erect any monument to my memoryfl efrom Lav Will and Textament 0f Piu; XII. In the Providence of God it sometimes happens that 3. Pope is chosen to be the very sum and representation of the Faith for a whole generation of people. We, the Class of 195 9, who in youth and maturity knew no other, rev- etently dedicate out SAGA to the blessed memory of Pope Pius XII who was Christis Vicar on earth during our years 1939-195 8. Out Pope died at the zenith of his greatness; recognized as one of the most brilliant men of the world and one of the Churchis saintliest Pontiffs. He held Doctorates in Theology, Philosophy, Canon Law, and Civil Law. He spoke Latin, English, Italian, French, Spanish, Portu- guese, German, Greek, Hebrew and Atamatic. But he knew best the language of the heart. He was confronted with unprecedented problems during a time when civiliza- tion itself was imperiled by an atheistic power bent on the conquest of the world. But to him only one thing was necessary, the Love of God and neighbor flowing from personal sanctity. Times without number he appealed to mankind to restore all things in Christ. He would Change the world and overcome its atch-enemy by the charity of the Redeemer and the message of His gospel. He was a prodigious worker and yet he reflected the t quietude of a contemplative-always working, always; calm. He lived the perfect life in an era of fear, bewilder- ment and seeming despair. His death removed from this earth a spiritual giant, an intellectual luminary, a fearless leader who with a few; others under the Providence of the Almighty have pre- vented this world from falling apart. His life, works, and example can be for us, the Class of 1959, the monument on which to fashion a new world out of the chaos of today . . . HIS HOLINESS POPE JOHN XXIII Bishop of Rome and Vicar of Jesus Cbrist: Successor of St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles; Supreme Pontiy? of the Universal Cbrucb; Patriarch of the West; Primate of Italy; Archbisbop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province; Sovereign of the State of Vatican City. Habemm Papam . . . tWe have a Papal On Tuesday, October 28, 1958, Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli ac- cepted the throne of Peter as Pope John XXIII. Like his predecessors of the last 2,000 years, he received the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Deposit of Faith and the guidance of the light of Eternal Truth. He is the head of the Mystical Body, the Vicar of Christ upon earth. Like St. Peter, it was of him that our Lord said: He who hears you heats Me. Like his predecessors, His Holiness John XXIII will be the living embodiment of the principle that truth in any era of human learning can never contradict truth in another era. He will use the words of eternal truth as a skilled surgeon uses a scalpel, to cut away all of the false and erroneous notions with which the human mind can be infected, regardless whether they are errors of the past or their modern variations. He will use the words of eternal truth to temper the dangerous enthusiasm and childish eagerness of man about his new discov- eries. Like our Lord before him, John XXIII will be speaking to those who are open minded respective to the truth as well as those who are close-minded and rejecting of any but their own system of virtues. The world indeed marvels at the superhuman accomplishment of the Papacy. As Christians, we continue to be grateful for the goodness of God who can work so much good through men. We are the Body of Christ, member for member. We should te- member to pray often and fervently for His Holiness, that God may give him the strength to bear the indescribable burden of the Papacy and that the Kingdom of God may be extended to include the whole human race. Viva 2'! Papa! HISTORY OF SIENA COLLEGE The year 1937 is a most memorable one for the Class of 1959. For some of us it reveals a vital statistic, the year of our birth; for all of us it represents the founding of our Alma Mater. It was in 1937 that the Reverend Edmund Francis Gibbons, D.D., Bishop of Albany, invited the Franciscan Fathers of the Province of the Most Holy Name to extend their activities into his diocese. Time and time again we have heard our parents narrate the beginnings of St Bernardine of Siena College. They tell us of the purchase of an estate of 40 acres with a large old brick mansion on it; how classes were hrst held in the several rooms of that building; and of attending the laying of the cornerstone for the structure known as Siena Hall e- the center of the College Administration, the labs, and the classes. A short time later our gymnasium, Gibbons Hall, was constructed; Many a cheer has rung from the rafters in this building on behalf of out great basketball teams of the past and spirited teams of today. In our own lives we have witnessed the phenomenal growth and development of our beloved college. As small boys we watched students going into Siena Hall during the years of World War II. To meet the needs of the war, the college accepted its responsibilities and contracted with the US. Navy to train its personnel. How we gazed with awe upon those uniformed cadets! When the war ended, large numbers of ex-servicemen, including some of our older brothers, enrolled at Siena. We saw the erection of prefabricated buildings holding 18 classrooms. Several old buildings on the campus were con- verted either into more classrooms or were put to use for extra-curricular activities. Then we watched the erection of H several Quonset huts, one of which became a temporary Chapel for our use. 1950 marks a notable development at our Alma Mater, for this was the year in which the St. Bernardine of Siena Friaryt the Faculty House for the Friars. was completed; Attached to this structure is Our Lady of Angels Chapel, always open for our edification and sanctification. Here are held the Forty Hours Devotion and our Annual Retreat. It was also in 1950 that our presently outstanding Field Artillery ROTC Unit was established. In our own time on the campus. we have researched and studied for many hours at the beautiful Father Jerome Dawson Memorial Library. opened just before we became Freshmen. As we leave the campus we see the rapidly rising skeleton of a new dormitory building being erected to make Siena an even greater attraction for students miles away. We eagerly anticipate an early return after graduation to visit this latest addition. Many a time over a cup of coffee in our cafeteria we have wished for a larger and more modern eating-place, and now this dream will soon be fulfilled. For. along with our new dormitory a spacious dining hall is now under construction. Siena. our college, has gone a long way in a short 21 years. What will the next generation bring? If Siena ex- pands and grows at the same rate in the future as it has in the past, it will soon become one of the greater Univer- sities of the East Coast. At that future date. we - the Class of '59 e can tell the Class of 179 about our pioneer days at the outstanding University of Siena. M051: Reverend EDMUND F. GIBBOT'JS, D.D. Biybop of Albany Retired Most Reverend VWNLILIU'A A. SCULLY, Bishop of Albany M 05; R everend EDXWARD I. MAGINN, 11D. Auxiliary Bijbop of Albany M y Dear G mdzmtes: I feel a special kinship with the Class of ,59, since its appearance at Siena coincided with my assumption of the presidency. You have run your course in four years; mine has still two years to go. You have the advantage of me, too, in that you have tangible evidence of achievement during your four years - your degrees. When I hrst came to Siena, in 1939, the College was two years old and definitely a small college. I persist in thinking of it as small despite statistics to the contrary. The fact that Siena is no longer a small college is impressed on me most forcibly on occasions like this, when I reHeCt that I no longer know most of the students personally. My knowledge of you is, however, probably more extensive than you realize; my pride in you certainly is. A college must center its activities about its students. But in its concern for its present students it cannot lose sight of its past students, its alumni. The achievements of our alumni are the measure of the success of the College in the task it has set itself. The alumni is in a real sense our contact with the world of reality that lies outside our sup- posedly sheltered walls. You are about to join the alumni. I hope that the Class of ,59 will add more than its numerical share of Vigor and loyalty to an alumni body which of necessity reflects what the College is but of choice can help to make it still better. May Godis blessing be with you always. Sincerely young hi7 ' E ??euibhza tREVJ EDMUND F. CHRISTY, O.F.M. 13 i F vywq 3.... Reverend SIXTUS OCONNOR, O.F.M. Vice Prejidem Reverend MAURUS A.

SENIOR CLASS Four very short years ago the opening chapter in the hiStory of the Class of '59 was woven into the tapestry of the Siena saga. Almost the first thing encountered by our class was a long line leading to the various offices at registration. One of the last things done by our class was to stand in another long line, this time to receive our diplomas. Between the framework of these parallel lines is stretched the fabric of our stay at Siena. If somewhat frayed at the corners by the frustrations and failures incident to a srudentls daily activity the composite whole depicts collegiate life at its bESt. The subjecr of lines bring back fond memories. Bill Goyette and Bob Leary should get awards as the first two Frosh in line for Shaircuts. They looked real Joe College! During the early days of Initiation we were forced to unite tthe purpose of In- itiationN for the common welfare of saving our hair and finding those elusive shoes. Anybody see a pair of size nine white bucks lately? Now and again some poor Frosh would be caught un- awares and be subjected to the whims and fancies of the Sophs. Word has it that Bill Perreault rode a sleigh down State St. on an 800 day in the middle of September. After the pajama parade Roger Miner was half way to Schenectady before he realized that he wasn't anywhere near State Teachers College. Have you found it yet, Roger? In the field day events our athletes did well against the mathe- matical wizards of the Sophomore Class. During the basketball season Jack Weaver re-wrote the scoring records. Politically the class was led by President Bob Hogan. The remaining officers were Ed Kane, Ron Lather, Jack Weaver and John Conoby. Since we were unaccustomed to college exams we were forced to study. Therefore, all written records of the remaining history of the class as Freshmen have been censoredelost to mankind for all time. Being stubborn, we decided to remain at Siena for another year. Experienced college men by now, we learned how to ar- range the field day events and, also, how to make money. Does anyone remember the collection taken up by Ron Lather to re- place our idol Cy-Ana, who was so thoughtlessly crushed by the lowly Frosh? Was it a good party, Ron? On the social side, the Harvest Hop was a great success. There was dancing in the gym and gambl . . ., pardon, games downstairs. Frank Kirk and Roger Stone ate up the prohts in a pie eating contest. Rog and his big appetite won. Again turning to sports we see Bill Arcuri and Dave Carpen- tier showing their prowess as bowlers, while Jack Weaver was proving himself a great clutch competitor on the basketball court. Remember his last second jump shot, giving the club a 50-49 upset over Iona at the Armory? As our stay at Siena continued the incidents became more amusing. Dan Sickles came in prepared to take Dr. Buffs eco- nomics exam only to find that it was Mr Bull's exam that day. Dr. Buff had given his test two days earliert Dan, wake up! Then there was the time Dick Poltrack came to school on a free day. Joe Russo likewise.'0n the other hand, Bob Van Slyke celebrated holidays that no one else knew about. Bob, did the Dean really congratulate you for attending a full week of classes? On a serious note, Pete Vinett was pleased when his proposal for a Campus Charities Drive was accepted. Our ofhcers for the Sophomore year were President Ron Lather, Vice President John Koval, Secretary John Girard, Treasurer Ed Kane, and Historian Jerry O'Shea. Fr. Hugh Ellet, OFM, was moderator. And now for stories about the profs. Many recall walking into history Class seconds late and being requested to get a late slip. Bob Lord, however, prides himself on being late twice in a row and not being thrown out. Must have been close to Christmas. Lest we leave the wrong impression, Walt Sivertsen got a nickle when a prof mispronounced his name, while Fran Martin and John McGuiness couldn't wait to get to Professor Colbert's class. By the end of our Sophomore year we were firmly entrenched at Siena and looked forward to our Junior year. Our new GEICCI'S were Jerry O'Shea, President; Jack Hannon, Vice-President; Bob Heslin, Secretary; Ed LaRow, Treasurer; Nong Cummings, His- torian; and Chuck Morrill, NFCCS. Also near the end of our second year, a new spott-Iacrossee came onto the campus. If the game was confusing to the specta- tors, it was even more bathing for the tyre players. Nevertheless, the club advanced rapidly under the guidance of Jim Leonard. The club gave the College a thrill by upending Union in a double overtime at the Junior Prom weekend. The sensation of the year for the Science Division occurred when George Beaulac passed one of Dr. Bevakis physical chemis- try exams. Jim Morrow almost passed, while Tom Fehlner lost 35 on the test. During the Fresh Initiation of 1957, Don Watson, scientific genius and rabble rouser, incited the Freshman Class to riot. Right Don? Remember Thursday afternoons when the ROTC corps was reviewed by the student militia? Ranking drillmasters were Ed LaRow twho also Hooded the Dean's onice with a snafu organic experimenty, Jerry O'Shea, Jack Hannon, and Nong Cummings. Speaking of the military, Torn Evans won't forget teaching the functioning of the M-1. His riHe wouldn't work, or so he claims. This was the year that Paul Kaufman misspelled Epistemology for Fr. Kevin. Sacrilege! How did Bill Elder get to the Copa after the West Point game? While on basketball, didnit Dick Hersch make a nice Indian? Do you still like little kids, Dick? Not to be outdone, the outing committee of the Junior Prom, including Ed Smith and Lee Shinkle, ran afoul of the local gen- darmes. Fortunately, cool heads prevailed and the day was saved when someone suggested: Tell him you're a priest, Hughie! As might be suspected from the above, the event of the year was the Junior Prom, The music of Lester Lanin made for an evening of fine dancing in a gay tulip setting. Bob Heslin supplied clever favors, a small bottle opener with attached cards, telling how to mix drinks. Possibly this was the reason for the talk on alcoholism during our Senior yeati Other highlights of the week- end were the Lacrosse game with the Siena Indians playing the St. Regis Indians and the jazz concert starring J. J. Johnson. Although the Variety Show was sponsored by the Seniors, the hit of the show was Jerry Brehm, a Junior, with his rendition of Soliloquy from Carousel. Another highlight of the year tat least for BoardersT was the day Pat Hourihan fell in the water- fall at the Boarders, Club outing. That foamy water must have been misleading. With the spring of our Junior year election time was once more upon us. The campaigns were waged with ingenunity. Ed Tobin still remembers the day he was almost carried off by the Lion Partyis helium-hlled balloon. The three rival parties were the Arrow Party, led by Bob Heslin, the Progressive Party, led by Bob Van Slyke, and the Lion Party, led by Paul Kaufman. Results of the balloting were announced at the first annual Spring Concert of the Glee Club. Bob Heslin was named President of the Student Senate, with AI Murgia as Veep. Al was a Progressive candidate. Most Senate ogices were carried by the Progressives, with the Arrows gaining two Senate seats, including Dick Petro as Rep-at-Large, The only break through for the Lions came in the Senior Class where Pete Carey was chosen as Historian. Other Senior officers were President Tom Jennings, Vice-President John Girard, Secretary Jerry Brehm, Treasurer Frank Kirk, and NFCCS Rep. Jack Shannon. The Class of '59 has produced several Student Senators Pictured above are, left to right, seated: Senate President Bob Heslin, Fr. Chtysostom Murphy, OFM, Vice-President Al Murgia; standing: Frosh Class President Bob Hogan, NFCCS Representative Bob Van Slyke, Representative at Large Ron Lather, Junior Class President Jerry OiShea, Senior Class President Tom Jennings and Representative at Large Dick Petro. 87 Ft. Patrick Callaghan, OFM, Class of '59 Moderator, senior year. The season opener against Canisius was a thriller with the Indians edged out in the last six seconds. The RPI game provided the basketball team with its first win. Johnny Girard stole the ball, and Jack Weaver duplicated his Iona performance with a winning basket zit the buzzer. After dropping a heattbreaker to LeMoyne by one point in overtime, the club bounced back with a gritty 72-65 tri- ple overtime win over St. Francis of Brooklyn. Jack Weaver caged 38 points for a record high single game performance marking the first occasion Siena had whipped St. Francis on her home court. Publication editors: Rick Testa, SAGA and Beverwyck, and Dave Fahey, Siena News. Jennings has yet to reveal the secret of his formula for leadership, developed after long years of study in the lab. Looking back on our Senior year we see that it was a tre- mendous successewe survived. Rick Testa published his Rickwyck Papers, Jim Provanzanois lasagne party was a smash but Jim still hasn't found his watch. Tick survived both his first month in office and also the Junior Class din- ner. Dick Andrews finally got everything straightened out with Fr. Sextus office and Jim Kirker finally got out of Dr. Plageris hair. Dave Fahey still considers himself lucky to be alive after a visit at the newspaper by some angry Green Jackets. Fred Padula was last seen heading to The Siena News to find more desks. Ron Lather is still con- fused about the Oct. 6th meeting of the Senate and asks, What did you say about dancing lessons, Bob? The Sen- ate went into an uproar at this verbal query. Remember the Pep Rally, the biggest in history? There were floats and visitors from RPI and Bona. Credit goes to Lee Skinkle and Jack Hannon. Senior Snow-Ball Co-Chairmen Dick Andrews and Jerry O'Shea. Incidentally the referees at the LeMoyne game were named Honorary Scrooges of the Week for their display of the Christmas spirit. Once again the games were broad- cast, with Bill Johnson and Gary Perkinson at the mike. This was the year that Jim Reilly coordinated the Fresh- man Class. The Sophomore President,'Fred Mastin, is still wondering how he came to arrive in the Adirondacks. While speaking of Boarders we must not forget Leo Kosibais artis- tic talent. He painted the Senior parking lot with a hand brush. Following close after the class dinner was the Christmas Pageant, for the first time an evening affair sponsored by the Gleemen. By the way, it was rumored that Dave Testa rafHed off the telephone numbers of the dancing girls that he met on his last trip to New York. Four am. is early in the morning! First cousins of the Glee Club were the White Cords, an octet composed of twelve members, ditecred by that accomplished director this own wordsl Bob Heslin. By the way, Bob, do you still need change? Our profs were always cordial. Remember how Dr. Plager went out of his way to welcome Ron Bigley to sociology? Dave Campbell was fascinated by the study of ethics. Some days he spent the entire period juSt answering questions for the'edilication of Fr. John J. and the class. Then Pete Carey acquired a line set of rejecrion slips before this history was finally accepted. Pat helped. Fr. Matthew was so im- pressed with Frank Cuttitais knowledge of Henry IV that he offered to let Frank take over the class. Larry Dembo and Ed Pearlberg are the boys who really put the Senior Class on a paying basis. They never worried about balancing the budget, only about how much of a surplus we could handle. After graduation John Emmett will undoubtedly be lost without Jim Howard and Mike Grogan to share his lunch period. Joe Early's calm disposition remains the envy of all. ROTC Cadet Commander Don Traver and Executive Officer Bob Heslin. But in spite of these lapses and all the social activities we still managed to struggle through and so today can read of our triumphs and failures in Lou Buff and Rick Testals 1959 Saga. We have also reached the point in our careers at which we can express our thanks and gratitude to Fr. Hugh, who was our moderator for three years, and wish him suc- cess in his studies at Rome. Also we thank Fr. Patrick who gave us the benefits of his guidance in our Senior year. We have reached the goal for which we have worked-- graduation and our degrees. Our diplomas, however, were not our only reason for attending Siena. Rather, they stand as symbols of the training imparted to us by the Franciscan Friars. Because of them we are better men. Fr. Hugh Eller, OFM, Class of 39 Mod- erator, Ftosh, Soph, and Junior years. The central event of the year was the Snow Ball weekend. Co-chairmen Dick Andrews and Jerry O'Shea overcame calendar problems to produce an outstanding three days. Music was again supplied by that idol of the campus dance floor, Lester Lanin. After the dance, came a ski week at Stan- brooke. Bill Mahar figured in one of the most amusing anecdotes to come out of our four years with the Green-and-Gold. It seems that Bill was called upon to translate in German class one day. After a long silence Dr. Fuetst finally exclaimed, You knew your name before class!

JUNIOR As Freshmen the Class of '60 rebounded from the persecution of Initiation to become a unified, cohesive group. As Sophs the class did its own hazing, re- newed the Pajama Parade, and scored a clean sweep of all Field Day events. A Frosh-Soph outing at Thatcher Park and an Autumn Whirl at the gym gave proof of 60 know-how. We Juniors, under the leadership of President Tom Mahar, welcomed a new moderator, Fr. John J.

SOPHO We Sophomores staged a notable Initiation for the members of the Class of '62, who then ungratefully kidnapped our President Fred Mastin. This imperti- nence stands in ignoble contrast to the swimming par- ty that we as Freshmen gave Tom Mahar. This year in the Field Day we Sophs overpowered and humiliated the outclassed striplings who aspired to join us as Sienn men.

FRANCIS Founded by St. Francis of Assisi in 1221, the Third Order seeks to sanctify its members while they are living in the world of professions and trades. Over the centuries its mem- bership has grown to include men and women, married and single, from all walks of life. Today there are four million Third Order members in the world and over one hundred thousand in the United States. The rule of the Order consists of three short, simple Chap- ters. The first decrees the requisites for membership and ad- vises the wearing of scapular and cord under street clothes. The second chapter defines the Order's way of life by counsell- ing moderation, decency, and the cultivation of Virtues. It also prescribes frequent reception of the sacraments, the daily office, and the exercise of spiritual and corporal works of mercy. The third chapter discusses the administration of the fraternity. On campus the Third Order meets each month in St. Mary of the Angels Chapel for Mass and Communion. The group sponsors an annual Day of Recollection, a Communion break- fast, and an orphans trip to a Siena basketball game. This year the Third Order erected a billboard depicting the Christmas Crib on Route 9 near the College. Moderator is the Rev. Conon F. Welsh, OFM, who is also Spiritual Director of the College.

Frederick Mastin President of the Sophomore Class Timothy Mannix President of the Freshman Class Robert Heslin President STUDENT SENATE The origin of the Student Senate, the governing body on the campus, is co-incident with the origin of Siena College itself. Self- government, a privilege granted to the student body by the College Administration in 1937, has been from the start truly a school tradition. The Senate is made up of thirteen members, four executive ofhcets, the four class presidents, three representativeseat-Iarge, a publicity co- ordinator and the NFCCS representative, all serving for a term of one year. A parliamentarian is appointed each year by the president to fur- ther facilitate the smooth channeling of legislation during sessions. The executive, legislative and judicial powers of the Student Associa- tion rest in the Student Senate. Its aims parallel those of the College. Under the guidance of their moderator, Rev. Chrysostom Murphy, OFM, and Robert Heslin, president, the Senators strive to bolster the student's academic, spiritual and social life on campus. This they ac- complish through effective coordination of the activities of the various campus organizations. Much more than a coordinator however, the Senate acts as the foun- tainhead of numemus events. Open Houses are arranged with area womenis colleges. Sponsored are such diversified activities as jazz con- certs, student outings, the Annual Christmas Pageant, the Blood Bank, the annual Fathet-Son Dinner, the administration of polio shots, the away basketball game trips and the Leadership Training Programe designed especially for senatorial and classnofhce candidates to prepare them for the many duties assumed upon election. Indeed the all-encompassing workings of the Senate are felt by every student at Siena. The Student Senate, playing an integral part in every facet of campus activity, endeavors constantly to mold true Siena men . . . Christian gentlemen.

With the basic purpose of furthering among all boarding students a sense of true camaradie, the club enables its members to function as one for student and school betterment. Such is illustrated through the semi-annual outings and dinner meetings, the Boarder's role in the Pep Rally and the yearly Communion Breakfast. Holding bi-monthly meetings at the club room, the members are readily accepted as one of the outstanding groups in regard to spirit. Boarders grin for camera ORicets, left to tight: Vince Dean, Ft. Chtysostom, Moderator; Jim Reilly, President; Frank Gallo, Secretary. It was under the Rev. Robert F. Gabel, OFM, that Sigma Lambda Alpha was founded in September of 1953 and today enjoys a prodigious membership. Re- placing Father Robert as Moderator was Father Conron Babcock, OFM, who served during the 1955? '56 school year. The following year, the vacancy left by Father Conron, through his beingtalled t0 the Missions, was filled with distinction by Father Ama- deus Fiore, OFM, now studying in England. The Rev. Chrysostom Murphy, OFM, Dean of Men, now directs the Boarders together with President-elect James Reilly. Remaining ofi'icers for the current school year are Thomas Basil, Vincent Dean and Frank Gallo. 'I27 128 COLLEGIANS The Siena Collegians, the campus swing and dance band, were organized only last year but already play an important role in College activities. Open houses, concert-dances, Pep Rally dances, and informal class hops are all to the melodies of this popular group. The student musicians play not only at Siena but also at resorts, proms, outings, and anywhere else there is a desire for good music. The Collegians have many fans who prefer danc- ing to their music than to that of a big name band. President of the Collegians is Bill Cunningham. The combo practices on Wednesday evenings. When Fred Kopser organized the Siena Collegians its name was no mere chance. Years ago there was another student dance band with the same name.

Agnellus McCabe, OFM, attempts to develop in its members those qualities essential to leadership and to represent the College in debate and parliamentary gatherings. Debatewise, the Fall semester saw the Gaveliers equally at home in New York and in such New England tourneys as Dartmouth, Vermont, and Brown. Classen Gtamm was honored as the best varsity speaker at St. John Fisher. Siena teams scored vic- tories over such rivals as Rutgers, MIT, Middlebury, Syracuse, and Hofstra. High point of the Spring semester was the Club's meei Gav aids own college tournament, drawing teams from all over the East to compete for the Ft. Devine Memorial Trophy and the chance to participate in the unique Debate of Champions. Response to the high school tourney was so enthusiastic that it is now one of the largest in the State. Further opportunities for speaking experience and personal contact with other colleges are the Intercol- legiate Legislative Assembly and Mock Senate, in which Siena plays a leading role. In another first, the Gaveliers journeyed to Montreal to convene in a Uni- versity Model United Nations, along with students from four continents. Club banquets, held twice a semester, furnish a training ground for budding toastmastets and after dinner speakers. The Club meets every Tuesday. 129 OFFICIALS CLUB Keegan and Perkinson keep score.

During the holiday sea- son the Gleemen staged seven con- certs throughout the Tti-City area, including those at Troy, Cohoes, Latham and Albany. The Board of Directors established a twelve man specialty group named the White Chords, which added a sparkling touch to all club singing. The spring semester found the Gleemen on tour again.

A hot night at Siena. PEP RALLY On November 25th, proclaimed Siena Day by area city mayors, the Annual Pep Rally was staged on campus marking the inauguration of the 1958-59 basketball sea- son. By far the biggest and most spirited demonstration in Siena history, the evening's festivities were highlighted by the parade of class and club Boats, the traditional bonfire, presentation of the varsity squad by Coach Cunha, and a dance open to area college stu- dents and Visitors at Which the Collegians and Glee Club performed. Exubetance and good will tan high; the turnout was unrivaled-an apt indication of the extraordinary school spirit that was con- sequently portrayed in game after game once the season was under way.

Varsity Basketball Siena's 1958-59 basketball team finished the season with one of the poorest records in the school's history, winning only three games and losing sixteen. The team was again plagued by lack of height. Despite their handicaps, the Indians showed insurmountable hustle and desire. It was truly a season of heartbreaks as the In- dians lost four games by a total of six points. Their only wins came against RPI, St. Francis of Brook- lyn and Albany State. Many of their defeats were suffered at the hands of the titans of the East. Though most of the burden was placed on the backs of Captain Jack Weaver, Gerry Btehm and John Gitard, due credit should also be given to the rest of the squad for their considerable efforts. Coach at Siena for the last fifteen years, Dan Cunha graduated from Notte Dame where he excelled in baseball and basketball. After coach- ing at Vincentian Institute, he at- tived at Siena in 1943 where he was made head coach. With a keen Coach Dan Cunha sense of analysis and great determin- ation, he brought to Siena its high ranking of not-so-manyeyeatseago. Since then the Indian teams have been on the downgrade, but this casts no reflection upon the true ability and skill of Coach Cunha, a real pro.

The Cadets, squaring their series record with the Indians at 2-2, outdistanced the visitets with a big offensive splurge in the last 10 minutes. The Cadets, led by Dat- rell Kouns' 23 points, had four men in the double figures column. Jack Weaver was high for the Sienamen with 16 points. Despite the 1055, several of the Indians showed marked improvement and thereby kept Army careful through much of the game. Jack Weaver, Siena Captain. INDIANS EDGED BY CANISIUS, 56-54 A valiant but vain effort was made by the Siena Indians to inaugurate the season with an upset at Albany over a taller Canisius team. In a tight and bitterly contested battle from start to finish, Captain Jack Weaver, the game's high scorer with 25 points, put on a sparkling all-around performance punctuated with jumps, sets and drives, but a driving layup by Canisius' Tom Rojek just before the buzzer ended it all for Siena. The Rojek brothers, Frank and Tom, were high for the victors with 17 and 14 points respectively. Manhattan controls ball. Jetty Btehm WEAVER SHOT TOPS RPI, 48-46 After dropping the season's first two games, the Indians gained their inaugural win the hard waye via a last split-second jump shot by team captain Jackie Weaver which was made possible only after overcoming an earlier fifteen point deficit. Soph Joe Healey also participated in the late-game heroics by knotting the count on a jump with fifteen seconds to go, and setting the stage for Weaver's ending. A 12 point Siena spurt in the waning moments was strictly a team effort and showed each player at his best.

A rally late in the game, though proved unsuccessful, had the Gaels somewhat Hustered. Attesting to the fine shooting and errorless play by the Cunhamen is the fact that the Indian starters, man for man more than three inches shorter than their opponents, were out-rebounded by a 3464 count. Iona's George Carter dropped in a game-high 16 while Jack Weaver paced the home forces with 13 points. Don't Eght, boys! Healey gets a double pic. DOLPHINS STUN INDIANS IN OVERTIME, 66-65 The Siena Indians blazed back from 14 points be- hind in the final minutes only to lose the slugfest to a good LeMoyne club, 66-65, in the overtime period. Chief visiting antagonist was LeMoyne's Dick Lynch who dropped in two foul shots with three seconds remaining to cap ofir a twenty-five point performance, and dub in a different ending to what would have already been a stunning finish. Once again steady Jack Weaver spun home 18 points to lead the Indians, and soph Joe Healey came forth with a 15 point per- formance. 5 El. Jj 33 Wy Patsy Mattone Smitty drives on Manhattan's Brunone. NIAGARA GIANTS TRIM SIENA, 62-49 The Siena Indianst weary after a triple overtime conquest of St. Francis at Brooklyn the night before, battled mightily against the Niagara Purple Eagles, but the Western New Yorkers' height proved to be too much for the Cunhamen and Niagara eased by the home club, 62-49. Al Butler, the winner's fine sophomore, topped his team with eight held goals, while Jack Weaver led the participants with 21 points. Siena made its last sustained effort to overtake Niagara by closing the gap to 36-32 before Butler and Don Jones pulled the visitets safely away. John Legasse WEAVERS 38 WINS FOR SIENA IN BROOKLYN, 72-65 On the short end of a 25-12 score, the Indians of Siena bounced back to defeat the St. Francis Ter- riers in three overtime periods, 72- 65, for their flrst win on the lattefs court in 17 years. The victory was further sweetened by Jack Weaver's recotd-breaking 38 point produc- tion, highest ever gained by an In- dian eager and just one point short of the MECAA Single game record. Weaver tallied 33 points in regula- tion time. Cautious maneuvering was thrown aside in the third and last overtime as the Indians pranced briskly and conclusively away.

The Evening was sponsored by the Greater Troy Area Club on behalf of the Siena Student Body. Jack, who finally ended up with 325 points and a 17.1 average in 19 games, was presented with a gold wrist watch and a trophy in recognition for setting the college individual scoring record of 38 points against St. Francis of Brooklyn. The other graduating Seniors, rugged Gerry Brehm and playmaker John Girard, were also honored. The half-time ceremonies were highlighted with speeches from Fr. Alphonsus Connors, Director of Athletics, and Bob Heslin, Student Senate President, complimenting Jack on his exceptional playing. In addition to his record feat, Jack was named to the weekly All-Easr Team. For the past three years Jack has been an outstanding per- former not only in basketball, but also in baseball and this Night was just a small way of letting Jack know how much Siena appreciates his efforts. , 3R Coach and star.

Sophomore Joe Healey, starting his first game, proved to be the key to this third Siena victory by amazing the Feds with 25 N' , f points collected on jumps and drives. Jack Weaver's IagarasJones up or mo' 20 points and the bright play of John Girard and Gerry Brehm added greatly to a well-rounded effort which rattled the highly-touted Teachers from the start. Denny Johnson was the high man for the losers with 12 points. JASPERS WIN ON DEFENSE, 52-44 Defenses glistened brightly but the mountain-like Manhattan Col- lege cagers downed the smaller, yet spirited Siena Indians, 52-44. The Jaspers coasted through much of the first half, but the invaders were sur- prised in the second stanza by the onrush of the aroused Indians, and with only three minutes remaining did Manhattan finally wrap the de- cision up. Bob Mealey and Tom Dougherty led the winners with 18 and 15 points tespecrively, while Jack Weaver's 16 was high for Siena. Mike Perry 188 Who threw the bowling ball? John Rossi TERRIERS JOLT INDIANS IN EXPERIMENTAL GAME, 67-50 Visiting St. Francis capitalized on what turned out to be Siena's coldest game of the season and walked OH with a 67-50 victory. The real point of interest to be noted concerning this contest was the use of a three point tally for all baskets made beyond an arc drawn 23 feet out from the basket. Each club made good on one of these shots. Pat Mattone was high scorer for the Indians with 18 points, while Pete Schweitzer sent home 17 for the Terriers. Siena showed a new big man for the first time in 6'6 Howie Huntington. Wake up, Little One! Hold on to it, Jerry!

This year's game proved no exception to the rule as the Bonnies walked OH with an 89-69 win. Al- though the margin of victory was 20 points, Siena turned in a better performance than the score might indicate for the Brown Indians from Olean started strong and continued that pace throughout the game with a brilliant show of sharpshooting.

However, the Indians did get more mileage from their big men than in any other game this season and as a result the contest was kept close most of the way. Howie Huntington and John Smith combined for 17 points in a losing cause, but steady Gerry Brehm led the Indian forces with 23 points. High scorer for the game was Ed O,Connor of the NYAC, a squad made up of ex-Collegiate stars living in the metropolitan area. IONA SPANKS SIENA, 68.42 For the hrst twenty minutes the guest Siena Indians held their own against a ridiculously taller Gael bas- ketball team and trailed by only seven points at the half. However, in the second half, Iona, led by the board-work and 18 point output of massive Joe Tighe, couldn't miss and at the same time Siena was plunged into a prolonged cold spell; only in the final minutes did the Indians start scoring again. Siena's team was led by Gerry Brehm, who dropped in 15. Iona had four men in double figures. Healey with a neat block. PEACOCKS BOMBARD SIENA, 75-51 Leading by a slight 20-17 count with only five minutes remaining in the first half, a competent St. Petetis of Jersey City five suddenly and shockingly lowered the boom 0n the invading Indians. When Siena finally came up for air, the score was 46-17 with 10 minutes remaining in the game. It was during this period of 'time that the losers had developed a bad chill, missing 18 shots in a tow. However, torrid last-minute shooting made the flnal tally more respect- able. The Saints' Bill Smith accounted for 24 points and Siena's Gerry Brehm replied with a 21 total. BONNIES SNUB INDIANS, 75-48 St. Bonaventure jumped OE to a 17-0 advantage at the Washington Avenue Armory in Siena's final home appearance and coasted past the gritty, but outmanned Loudonville five. With a smooth balance of height, speed and ability, the Bonaventure team proved to be the most proficient opponent Siena faced in Albany this season. Torn Stith was the game's big scorer with 22 points. Siena Seniors Jack Weaver and Gerry Brehm, playing their last Armory game, scored 20 and 13 points respectively while turning in Hashy pet- fotmances. Miss, are you sure you're Jackie Weaver? Healey heads for hoop. 191 Mr. J. Willard Ftament Tennis Coach Much credit should be given to the Tennis squad since it had the most successful record of any team at Siena last year. The team compiled a 9-1 record and finished in a tie with St. Bonaventure for first place in the MECAA Tournament. While the lone 1055 came at the hands of powerful RPI, the Indians beat schools including Albany State, Plattsbutgh and Oneonta State. The team captain was Gerry Brehm who played in an outstanding manner throughout the season. The remaining regulars, Gary Goodness, Harry Ungerman, Vic Goldie and Vern Hydom, consistently came through in strong fashion. It looks like another very fine team will be present this year for all the lettermen will be returning with added experience.

LACROSSE Representative of a very spirited club. Because of the determination and spirit of about twentyrfive students last season, the Siena Lacrosse team met all odds and Showed itself worthy of admira- tion. Under the leadership of Dave Holohan, the In- dians have shown marked improvement; However, because of two almost inSurmountable difficulties, lack of experience and professional coaching, the club was unable to win a game last year, but the team's pro- gressive development was quite evident. Holohan, the leading scorer, along with Seniors Pete Carey, Jim Leonard, Dick Andrews and Dan Sickles have done a great deal to keep the club going. Most im- proved players of the past season were Mike Paolino and Tom Pillswotth. Figured to have a good offense for the coming year, the club's big test will probably be the contest with powerful new-comer Holy Cross. Dave Holohan and Midge Burnett warm up. 193 For five years now the Siena bowling team has pat- ticipated in the Capital District Bowling League, which also consists of representative squads from RPI, Union, Albany State, Hudson Valley Tech and Albany Business College. Always a contender, usually a cham- pion, this year's team stands in hrst place and has a fine chance of taking the title. Dave Catpentiet, president of the league, is the leading bowler with a 182 average. Sal Guatino, also of Siena, holds the second highest average. Other members of the team are Bob Matt, Mike Ciotto, Bill Arcuti, Norm Matt- son, Jim Utermark and Al Gandlet.

During the spring season the Siena nine played their best games against LeMoyne and Albany State. The leading pitcher, who also doubled in the infield, was Jack Weaver with three wins. He is considered a major league pros- pect. Dave Colbert led the team in hitting. During the fall season, the team finished third in the MECAA Tournament, but ac- quitted themselves in fine fashion.

The Golden Greek was by far the stand- out on an enthusiastic harrier ensemble that simply didn't have the horses. The best performance turned in by the Siena- men was at the annual MECAA Tourna- ment, held on the Siena campus last Octo- ber.

Tower Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Traver Mr. and Mrs. H. W. True Joseph Urso Mr. and Mrs. Arthur H. Vinett Mr. and Mrs. Fred T. Weis Mrs. Leslie A. Wilsey FROM THE WISDOM OF THE POPE ART Through art the senses, far from weighing down the soul and nailing it to the earth, should serve it as wings on which to rise above tran- sient trifles and palttiness toward that which is eternal, true, beautiful, toward the only real good, the only center where union is accomplished, where unity is achieved, toward God. SCIENCE The ingenuity, the willpower, and the action of man with his machines and his tools, though they cannot upset the order of nature, may reveal it. Contrary to rash Statements in the past, the more true science advances, the more it dis- covers God, almost as though He were standing, vigilant and waiting, behind every door which science opens. THE BOMB . . . before the eyes of a terrified world there is presented a preview of gigantic destruction, of extensive territories rendered uninhabitable and unfit for human use, over and above the biological consequence that can result . . . For Our part, We will tirelessly endeavor to bring about, by means of interna- tional agreementsealways in sub- ordination to the principle of legiti- mate self-defense - the effective prescription and banishment of atomic, biological and chemical warfare. THE IRON CURTAIN PRAYER In the attitude of prayer man reveals his greatest nobility, hence it was strikingly afhrmed that man is great only when he is kneeling. Away with the barriers! Break down the barbed wire fences! Let each people be free to know the life of other peoples; let that segrega- tion of some countries from the tea of the civilized world, so dangerous to the cause of peace, be abolished. How earnestly the Church desires to smooth the way for these friendly relations among peoples . . . 205 STUDIO 5 THIRD STREET TROY, NEW YORK Don Riel, Proprietor E Phone AS. 4-7081 THE JOHNSON PRESS OF ALBANY Victor E.
