A great metropolitan newspaper of our state hails him as The Win- ningest Coach ; a governor praises the accomplished skill of players this man has coached to professional brilliance; the owner of one of the most out- standing professional football teams in the country says that the McCain- coached player always stands head and shoulders above the rank and file. To the man who has brought national renown to our college; who has planted in the hearts of ten proud teams the will to fight hard, to win and lose with grace on their road to championships; who, amidst honors and plaudits and victories, has practiced the ideals of service, simplicity, and humility so faithfully that every student at Maryland State College is inspired to emulation, the students of Maryland State College dedicate The Hawk, 1960: Vernon E. Skip McCain One of the Winningest Grid Coaches in the Entire U.S. THE SUN. BALTIMORE. gfNDAY MORNING. nryOBER By William Tcmton Skip McCain Is Not Far Off Wilkinson ' s Pace — Has Had Four Unbeaten, Untied Teams SKIP ' S PAGE Sun Salute In twelve years McCain ' s teams have sustained 83 wins, 12 losses, and 4 ties. He produced untied and undefeated teams in 1949, 1950, 1951, and 1955. In 1954, Maryland State joined the Central Intercollegiate Ath- letic Association; in 1955 McCain led his team to the championship. Since 1954 the Hawks have par- ticipa ted in r rvo bowl games, both in Miami. McCain brought two scintillat- ing AU-Americans to his coaching staff. Nay Taylor of Tennessee State and Earl Banks of Iowa (now Head Coach at Morgan State ) . He sent Vaughn to the Canadian Pros, Sample and Plun- kett to the World Champion Colts, Brown to the Detroit Lions, and Stan Jones to the American Football League. In his twelve years Skip has produced nine All-Americans — Sylvester Polk, Calvin Martin, Walter Robinson, William Jor- dan, Leon Wilson, Sherman Plun- kett, John Sample, Roger Brown and Vernon Vaughn. We salute our coach. wmnmgest The Skipper and Some Friends; In Rear, Ex-Hawk Coach, Morgan Head Coach Banks Relaxing with his all-time All-American THE PRESIDENT OF MARYLAND STATE COLLEGE: DR. JOHN TAYLOR WILLIAMS Seventy years of existence and ten years of phenomenal growth were celebrated by Maryland State College in 1957, the tenth year of the able, dynamic administration of Dr. Williams, who has seen us grow in numbers and facilities, his task widening with the expansion of the College. Scholastic emphases, athletic emphases, a growing national reputation, the need for further expansion: These are institutional topics our President ponders as he asks: Who are we of Maryland State College? THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND: THE HONORABLE J. MILLARD LAWES Our College was honored by a visit from Maryland ' s First Citizen, Governor J. Millard Tawes, on December 5, 1959, the occasion being our First Annual Leadership Convocation. A notable gathering of Maryland citizens heard the Governor speak in tribute to our student leaders. Charles P. McCorniick Chairman Wilson H. Elkins Executive Officer B. Herbert Brown Secretary Edward F. Holter V. Chairman Harry H. Nuttle Treasurer Louis L. Kaplan Assistant Secretary C. Ewing Tuttle Thomas W. Pangborn Albin L. Aubinoe Enos S. Stockbridge Thomas B. Symons Edward S. Burke Assistant Treasurer Foreword Table of Contents Who are the men and women, students and teachers, of Maryland State College? What have we done? What do we cherish? What are our interests? How do we look to ourselves? What has been our history since the last time we recorded it in the pages of a year book? The Hawk staff invites you to learn through the media of picture and story what we have done this year. We are, as you will discover, a closely knit community of students and teachers, going about our daily tasks, studying, teaching, creating, working, wor- shipping, dreaming, relaxing, aspiring; in short, do- ing all those things that deepen into custom and tra- dition on every college campus in the land. History repeats itself, is a very old saying. What justification exists for presenting a history which is a repetition of a twice-told tale? The main reason for this record of our life, so the editors be- lieve, is that while the setting may remain the same, the persons taking their places in the historical drama change and grow. It is for the individual member of each class, organization, and team that his par- ticular moment of Maryland State College history should be preserved; he is a person; he has an identity. In the hope that this edition of The Hawk shall speak personally to every member of the Maryland State College community, the editors present it to our family.

A Corps of Administrative Officers Administration Dr. James D Singletary Dean of the College is Dr. James D. Singletary, scholarly disciple of the real, not the popularized John Dewey. Hard-working Dean Singletary has impressed his mark of identity upon faculty and students who share his enthusiasm for good work, high standards, and professional growth. Miss Edith I. Gibbs Mr. Francis H. Harris Dean Edir.h I. Gibbs, monarch of the co-ed country bound not by Murphy Hall but the breadth and width of our college life, helps women students find their identity by wise counsel. Women ' s I ay, Candlelight Service, and other traditions and use- ful organizations taken for granted now had their origin and growth in Dean Gibbs ' mind and heart. The Good Dean! How well the title fits our calm, courteous Dean Francis H. Harris.

A busy Student Council, equally busy Student Counselors ' body, Men ' s Senate, and Women ' s Coun- cil have integrated our corporate living this year un- der the guidance of Dean Gibbs and Dean Harris. Items to note as the year went by were the new spacious look of a well furnished Student Council office; the quiet, confident leadership of L. Parker; the very popular choice by women students of B. Jenkins, Women ' s Council President, as Woman of the Year; an enthusiastic, well supported Homecoming celebration; the neater look of dormitory rooms; the serious consideration of ways to improve use of leisure and maximum use of present recreation facilities; the growing effectiveness of the Counselor-Freshman Counselee relationship. (A department head called Dean Harris to tell him that a freshman ' s counselor had dropped in to spend five minutes talking about one of his freshmen, left an hour later with out- lines, notes, and other helps to improve the perform- ance of the counselee in a difficult course! ) The Hawk salutes student government for a year ' s work well done.

Stagecrafters have pre- sented the Freshman Players as well as their veterans in well-received offerings. The Alpha Kappa Mu Interest Group, com- posed of high-ranking students whose scholarship standings merit their admission into an honor society, this year conducted a tutoring service for the general welfare. The Interest Group has been a real service to a growing number of students who drop into Trigg 127 Tuesday evenings for sympathetic help with mathematics, chemistry, English, and biology (the leading trouble makers).

Since its highly successful beginning as a five- figured loan fund under the sure guidance of Presi- dent Williams, the G. E. C. Hayes Loan Fund has operated efficiently and humanely to the benefit of many students who, without its helping hand, would have faltered and perhaps have failed to complete their year ' s work. Staffed entirely by students, the Committee, with Adviser V. W. Stone, continues to render an invaluable service. Also in areas of organizations whose members have had the ideal of service is our Veterans Club; men and women who answered their country ' s call to arms, served it faithfully, and now take up their own educational pursits.

But after the meet at the All-Eastern In- door Event, skeptics suddenly found that Ross and his speedy Hawks meant business.

Since then Corps cadets have engaged in many activities in the local area while par- ticipating in the two-fold program objectives: to pre- pare cadets for future service as officers in the Air Force and to build citizens. Developments and changes have been aimed at improving overall program. Cadet staff personnel have been rotated regularly, new concepts introduced, and improved methods of instruction incorporated. AFROTC staff consists of Associate Professor of Air Science Major Louis W. Cracken, Assistant Pro- fessor of Air Science Captain Bradley R. Foster, and fu ' o administrative non-commissioned officers, Staff Sergeants Donald E. Blevins and Frederick J. Smith.

Membership in the AF- ROTC Band, the Arnold Air Society, the Cadet Drill Team, the Cadet Glee Club, and opportunity to go on orientation flights in aircraft are just some activities cadets can participate in and enjoy. The Angel Flight, believed to be the largest of its kind in the U.S., has contributed to the Corps by promoting interest in it, aiding in social activities, serv- ing as hostesses, and marching as a separate unit or jointly with the Cadet Drill Team. Stellar attraction of the year is Military Day, with Military Ball ceremonies, consisting of drill and band contests, displays, awards, and visiting dignitaries, followed by a formal Cadet Ball — all helping to make this day a momentous occasion.

At Home In 1959 Homecoming might well begin with a sudden glimpse of a favorite campus spot — the moon-drenched tree under which a fellow first discovered the beauty of that special girl ' s face. It might begin with the re- membered musical ting of a chain beating against the flag pole. It often begins — that sense of being home again — with familiar sights and sounds: late fall leaves making vivid splashes against the dull gray of a dusty football field, the pink and green, black and gold and purple of floats, shouts of welcome, football cleats hitting the pavement hard, the band tuning up, the swish of a majorette ' s brief skirt, the color and rhythm of the parade. However it begins. Homecoming is always gay, exciting, colorful, nostalgic . . . ■ 31 . pffWi 118 We are surely at home when. . . And her reign begins Win War ianJ State, 1 959-60 6 .

Both are cherished additions to our way of life, both con- tributing to poise and confidence through stresss on usage. grooming, carriage, body co-ordination.

VAa: The Governor And The Student Leaders December 4, 1959, was the day President Williams set aside to honor students who have distinguished themselves as campus leaders. To emphasize the im- portance he attached to our first Leadership Convo- cation, President Williams invited Maryland ' s First Citizen, the Honorable J. Millard Tawes, Governor, to address an assemblage of the honored leaders, prominent Marylanders from government, business, the professions, and other fields of accomplishment, parents and patrons of the College. Briefly but eloquently. Governor Tawes, a man of enormous charm, warm friendliness and dignity, an obvious leader of men, spoke about the path one takes to leadership, of its responsibilities and privileges, of the sacrificial role of parents who make leadership convocations possible. Then Student Council President Levon Parker presented the Governor a plaque from the student body. The Governor lunched with the College family, visited Art Gallery with President Wil- liams, posed for photograph with student leaders. In 1959 they brought us their messages. Art, Music, Learning.

Preparing the I960 HAWK was an exciting task made enjoyable by congenial fellowship of a co-operative staff that occasionally worked all night, wheeled across Bay Bridge rushing copy to publisher while worrying about exams and reports, sighed for office space, longed to finish job at right time — early enough for everyone to receive book before term ended but late enough to avoid vociferous criticism of our br ain child. For relief from harassing problems, HAWK spread his wings one day, everybody perched on, and ye editors flew to Balti- more with some interesting photographic results. We missed Business Manager Yates sorely, wish him a speedy recovery. Also unavailable for the photographer were Associate Editor Gould, Art Editor Satchell, Photographers Wickes and Wiggins. We now impress ourselves for posterity as follows: Editor Cat Davidson, Business Manager Sammy Quails try to per- suade Hawk that right time to sink his talons into this particular situation is football season.
