SENIORS SUE DAVIDOFF The winner of this year ' s Sword Award was energetic Sue Davidoff, who made her mark at the University in campus politics. Possessed of a liberal, clear-thinking mind, this future sociologist was a long-time member of Stu- dent Senate and the Thomas Jefferson Club. Campus politician in the highest sense of the word, was Ed Russell, president of Young Republicans Club. A member of the Student Speakers Bureau, a debater and a Crusader, Ed also made news in the National Students Association, ICG and Phi Alpha Theta. The male winner of the Sword Award, Marty Gross, did his utmost to stir up school spirit at the University during his four years. He was a cheerleader and a Crusader, and most important, president of Student Senate. Marty also participated in IM sports and was a member of the Pre-Law Club. A stellar member of the University ' s Debate Society, Dick Bernstein made a perfect presi- dent for the Intercollegiate Conference on Government and the Council on Student Gov- ernment. Dick was president also of the Sword Society, so we might refer to him as the creme de la creme. EDWARD RUSSELL RICHARD BERNSTEIN Twenty-three

OUTSTANDING Known mostly for his work in religious or- ganizations, especially as vice-president of Newman Club and president of URC, Tony Stromeyer has also been active in Theta Kappa Phi, IF sports and Crusaders. Tony was a member of IF Council for two semesters. Mr. Fraternity might well be the nick- name for Dave DeTurk. As president of Sigma Pi and IF Council and co-chairman of Greek Weekend, Dave ' s influence in fraternity affairs was always strong and vital. This leadership ability again came to the fore when Dave was named president of the Committee of Six. NANCE GINGRICH Nance Gingrich, a vivacious redhead, was Alpha Sigma Alpha ' s gift to the Women ' s Athletic Association, of which she was presi- dent. Active in both Chimes and Magnet, Nance was seen leading cheers at every foot- ball game. As for sports, you name it, and she was in it. Vice-president of Theta Sigma Upsilon, Dee Shakoski ' s undergraduate career was climaxed by the winning of the coveted TU Award for excellence in sports. Besides sports, Dee de- voted her time to Beta Gamma Sigma, Chimes, Magnet, Marketing Club, SAM and Pi Gamma Mu. DAVID DETURK DOLORES SHAKOSKI Twenty-two
