Each removed his cap and gown following the hrief ceremony and stepped into a place in society-as lawyers, doctors, teachers, business- men, and many other occupations. . . . but when I become a man, l put away childish things.

Foreword 'lihe 1955 l'andora was created with one end in mind - to present the 1953-l95-l academic year at Nvashington and ,lellerson College in ll brief, though complete and accurate, record. Published in honor of the Class of 195-l and dedicated to Ur. Lyman Xvillets Rogers, the sev- entieth edition of the Pandora was initiated in early llune of last year. The first photographs were taken at this time and the layouts were being drawn by the staff. The major emphasis in this year's yearbook is the photography. .X maximum number of pic- tures were developed with the idea of reproduc- ing them as large as possible. To compensate for this emphasis the length of copy was restricted wherever necessary. Reporter. photographer, and engraver were functionally essential to the completion of this Pandora, but the greatest single factor was the cooperation received from the students and fac- ulty. lfor this cooperation, which transformed the l955 Pandora from an idea into ll finished yearbook, the statl' and editors are sincerely grateful.

Of the many things that have occurred on the Campus during this, your last year at Yvashington and Jefferson College, perhaps the most significant will be apparent to you only ten years from now. By that time we hope to have completed successfully the Ten-Year Develop- ment Program for a greater Yvashington and Jeilerson. It is one of the major milestones in the long history of your College. lt will, I be- lieve, he a continuing source of pride to you. lt will benefit directly the students who enter YV. 8: J. two years after you have become alumni. lVe hope that the outstanding work of alumni and friends in support of the College this year will continue to grow and make your tenth re- celebration. BV that union a real occasion for u time we expect to see our endowment enlarged, our enrollment increased to 750 students, and our plant greatly improved by needed additions. ,Xs you leave this Campus to take up your re- spective careers, may l wish you success. You will find the years ahead pass swiftly and that we always look forward to welcoming you back. Nlay you return to a Hner XVashington and Jeff- erson College.

Here we find the nerve center of the College working to co-ordinate life at XV. K Une of the prime objectives of the adminis- tration this year has been The Greater YVash- ington and Jefferson Development Fund. This is a ten-year program designed to raise 554,000,000 This plan calls for 551,000,000 as the immediate goal and an additional 353,000,000 over a ten- year period. The Buhl Foundation has made a conditional grant of 25275,000 to this program. The Alumni Fund has been discontinued this year, being replaced by the development p1'0- gram. Nlr. Xvilliam G. Nlarshall is the national campaign chairman, while lNlr. Henry Hood is heading the local fund drive. President and Mrs. Patterson recently made a trip throughout the southwest, visiting various Alumni groups, and discussing this program with them. .Ks Dean of the College the responsibility of the establishment of academic and extra-curricu- lar activities falls upon Dr. Ralph XV. Thomas. Beside setting up courses of study and conferring with juniors and seniors about their qualification toward graduation, he also interviews all students wishing to transfer from other schools. Dr. Dudley R. Alohnson, our Dean of Stu- dents, is a familiar figure around Campus. Dr. -lohnson acts as an academic advisor to the stu- dent body. He is familiar with each studentls academic work and frequently corresponds with the parents concerning their sonls progress in College. ln addition to these duties Dean John- son is in charge of running the dormitories. Dr. Boord, the Controller of the College, has charge of all financial transactions. He also acts as business manager, in charge of maintenance of all college property. MR. JOSEPH A. LECKIE Director of Alumni Activities ff v e is UR. IJUULEY li. JOHNSON Dean of Students Joseph B. Leckie has succeeded Mr. XVieand as Director of Alumni Relations. lt is his duty to strengthen the bond between this College and its Alumni. Our Director of Public Information is hir. Richard C.

Historical Collections No doubt one of the most interesting and informative departments of the College is found on the ground Hoor of the Thompson Memorial Library - that of Historical Collections. Here we find an extensive collection of material and manuscripts of our early period, and that of the College. These collections have been made possi- ble through the untiring efforts of Mr. Charles M. Ewing, who at all times is ready and willing to aid students, faculty, and visitors in their re- search. One of the outstanding features of Nlr. liwing's collection this year was a display of theme effects of the late VVilbur F. Pete Henry. This was done in conjunction with the 1953 Homecoming. ff-sf link f '-4-1x.T 'N 'H . 6,4 u-....,.a,4.- s 17,0 if fm so Wg p Y I lllreltor of the college l1lSi0TIL'l1l collections 13531319-mi--a iv ' YW , ' W X if fig ,, X N - , f 1 ' C ' X kgs Tiff' FQ' .ihjf Y' ' GA exif x NY . 1 1 -, V - f , ' V x 3 ,- ,Wh 1, if':W,R.ta, 1 T :'3 Aij?TiT fair' Nl' 32-L 'Q K ,i .. , X, .

Thompson Memorial Library Students absorbed during a free period at the library. Librar The Thompson Memorial Library was made possible through the gift of lNlr. XVilliam R. Thompson of Pittsburgh. The original gift has been supplemented throughout the years with additional donations by Mr. Thompson's wife, lNlary Thaw Thompson, as a memorial to her mother. The Library houses 85,000 volumes and important documents in its stacks. The YValker Room on the ground Hoor contains the books and library furnishings from the home of Nlr.

Less than half of the men who started as young, eager freshmen have remained to receive degrees as members of the class of 1954. These men are now able to take upon themselves the responsibilities of life and carry on the traditions of their Alma Mater. The formal education which they received is of value in the preparation and moulding of the layman, but the graduate will look back upon the cultural atmosphere which this college creates, while he happily remembers the joyous moments of the Prom and Greek Swingout. He will realize the value of the combination of the different aspects of living with his fellow man. It is natural that a feeling of sadness will engross the Senior on June 12, but this is soon replaced by the gaze into the future. Nlany of the graduates will enter the United States Army as Second Lieutenantsg others will be going to medical school While still others will try other graduate work. But all will look back to their undergraduate days and thank lVashington and Jefferson College for the preparation which it gave to enable them to assume their place in society. As the days of the last year in college go rapidly by, the senior begins to entertain thoughts of leaving friends and fraternity brothers with whom he has passed through the vicissitudes of college life. He will look back upon the basket- ball and football games, the concentrated hours of study for finals, the dances and parties, the VVednesday morning chapels and the keen com- petition of intramural athletics. The ultimate result of all these activities at Jay play a major part in all the lives of the graduating seniors. .off ' llowxlzlm I.. BlT'I'liRNlANI Ro WM ,...-eos.. Howard L.

ROBER'l'SUN l .KUL SMILUW VVALTER POWELL 1 1 1 OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer The Class of 1955 The junior class of VVashington and Jefferson College has arrived at the point in their under- graduate career when definite plans must be made in preparation for the future. This is a time when the undergraduate has become accustomed to the small college and the advantages of a lih- eral education. But the class of 1955 may best place their thoughts on the possibilities offered in their last year at XV. ZS: The senior year is the time for the final stroke in the picture of a Jayman. The hours spent during the senior year may well hold in store the best memories, both of social and academic achievement. The men of the class of 1955 now have a firm grip on the instruments to success. Inspection of the past three years at Jay will reveal to the Junior the gain obtained from the hours spent at VVashington and Jefferson. The curriculum at VV. ii allows the Junior to plan a well-rounded education, by providing room for courses during his last year in college in fields other than his major. Thus the junior class has the opportunity to extract from VVashington and Jefferson all that it has to offer. lfach member of the class of 1955 may look forward to his last year among the persons, both faculty and students, who have played such a vital role in the development of his character and intellect. 36 The Class o 1956 The term Hwise fools, often jokingly used in reference to sophomores, certainly does not apply to Jay's class of '56. Although this is only their second year at W. ZS: they have already made their mark in the annals of our school's history. Their potential and will to be tops in whatever they participate is the trait that has set them apart from the mass. Scholastic-wise, the sophomores, as a whole, rank high among the other three classes and with two more years to develop their study habits, they will undoubtedly capture the academic lead by their senior year. On the sports' front sophomores now man many important positions. Their alert heads up play and drive to win helps produce top notch sports, deserving of Jay's followers. Intramur- ally, many fraternities lean heavily on the capa- bilities of their sophomores. The sophomores are also well represented in the college activities and organizations. Their ability to lead as well as follow is proven by the fact that many already hold key positions in most of Jay's fraternities, publications, honoraries and clubs. Yes, we are proud of our Sophomore class here at Jay and we are sure that their realization of their responsibilities, not only to themselves and their parents but to their school and com- munity, will firmly place them on the road to success and happiness. Sophomore officers: President Dennis Must Cmiddlej, Vice-President Fharles Broadield Crightj, and Secretary-Treasurer Leonard Strobel. 37 i A Richard Perraull, freshman from l'onnecticul, arrives at Hays Hall to begin his college career at Washington and Jefferson. lass of 1957 Along about the second week of September .lay's class of '57 snapped shut their suit cases, said their goodbyes and started out in quest of a college education at XV. 3: For the lirst week the school is theirs - mixers, dances, orientation, convocation, meeting roommates and discussing their future as XV. X students. Upperclass procters and members of the Student Service Union offer assistance and suggestions to the bewildered underclassmen but, in true college tradition, each new student devel- ops his own policy through experience and rea- soning and when the upperclassmen return one week later, the youngsters have already devel- oped the air of old hands as college men. Next the fraternities converge upon them and they are swept away to glimmering parties and lavish banquets. lvith the acceptance of a pledge pin many of them find that extra touch of fellowship never before experienced. The majority of the class of '57 may have been displeased with their hrst taste of college Freshman class officers: President Robert Holden Cseatedj, Vice-President Daniel Blackburn Criglztj, and Secretary-Treasurer Lee Davis. 38 hour tests but by the time finals rolled around many were well versed in the art of How and Xvhat to Studyfl New blood was injected into the veins of many of ,lay's extra-curricular activities by the freshmen. Their participation in sports. both intrascholastically and intramurally, constantly keeps -lay's athletic program on the upswing. And so with the closing of the last blue book in June many of the Class of '57 may pause to realize that these years at XV. Zi bl. will be the most fruitful in their preparatory work for the long road of life, the successful surmounting of which lies ahead as their ultimate goal.

Although no first place honors or trophies have been achieved thus far this year, the lnde- pendents have presented a strong and unified team in each athletic contest.

' ' 'hung 'IIlni Q' ot the majors to broaden their general education. encouraging them to achieve high scholarship, and guide them in their quest for entrance into graduate schools is a goal constantly crossed hy the professors of the Biology Department. The success lies in the fact that the courses otlered at XVashington and -lellerson meet more than most of the requirements for the entering into graduate school. The Pre-med course offered here is one of the fields of science that XVashington and Qleller- son is proud to carry. Surely lllashington and .lellerson is one of the hest l're-med schools. Those former Pre-med students of XVashington and -lelilerson will Verify this opinion. The record of the placement of l're-meds into medical school is a silent speaker for those wanting to know of the real truth of this department. The placement average has been ahoye ninety per cent every year for the past six years of those students inter- ested in the field of medicine. And so the qualified stall of men of the Biology and Pre-med Depart- ment ol XVashington and -lellerson are more than doing what is expected of them.

The chemistry building is one of the most modern buildings on campus. ln the laboratory the stu- dents work with the best and newest equipment available: the professors may be proud also, for their lecture rooms are very modern.

The English Department takes on large responsibility, for it has to deal with all types of students seeking various professions. lts first task is to see that the two year require- ment is satisfactorily completed by those students who desire only a general knowledge of our spoken language, next, it spends many hours of time with the students pursuing English as a major. The English Department offers the stu- dents a very wide choice of English courses, namely: freshman English, Public Speaking, American, English, and Greek Literature, also some students are engaged in the creative writ- ing course. The English Department is well rep- resented in the extra-curricular activities: the Buskin Club, a theatrical organization, the Red and Black, a weekly newspaper: and The Vvall, a hi-yearly literary magazine. Those who make up the English Department are Dr. L. E. Vllhit- ing, the chairman of the department: Dr. XVilliam B. Stein, Dr. Edwin hloseley, Dr. Richard Stavig, and Mr. I.. Eisenhauer.

T e Crust of the Earth There has always been a need for a basic understanding of geography and geology. but in recent years the world's economic and political struggles have increased this need to the necessity of a workable knowledge of the climatic condi- tions and raw material potentials of different countries. XVashington and -lellerson has oliered to its students in later years a course entitled Physical- lfconomic Geography and four regional courses -North .'Xmerican, Xllestern Asia, lfastern .-Xsia, and Latin America. These courses include the structure and distribution ot climates, soils, land forms, vegetation, and their human utilization. There are two courses presented in geology- l'hysical-Structural Geology and Historical Geol- ogy. These courses deal with the structure of the earth's surface and a study of common rocks and minerals. The Historical course deals with the early period in the earthls life when its physical construction had just begun. Spring lield trips supplement the class reci- tation in both the geographic and geological studies.

Nlost jaymen at some time take work in this depart- ment. The proportion of History majors is not high, for job opportunities growing directly out of specialization in History are limited. Nlany History majors go into secondary teaching, a few to graduate school, and a number to law school. Opportunities for men trained in History are on the increase in journalism, government service, and in business personnel work. For prospective graduate students, XV. X Ll. ollers work in historiography, bibliography, and historical writing, and requires the necessary lan- guage study. Pre-legal students can lind useful courses in American general and constitutional History, and in lfnglish History. lfor future public school teachers, Pennsylvania History is required. The majority ol' History students, however, study the subject as a part of their liberal edu- cation, to increase their understanding of things as they are, to make their citizenship more intelli- gent, or simply for the pleasure of recreating the past in its various aspects, religious, intellec- tual, economic, political, or artistic. For them there are many courses, tracing lvestern Civili- zation from the Greeks to the 20th Century. Dr. Brady, assistant professor of mathematics, illustrates a higher math solution at the board.

One of the most interesting features of the Nlath Department is its agreement with the lVIas- sachusetts lnstitute of Technology and the Carne- gie lnstitute of Technology concerning the 3-2 plan. By this plan, an engineering student attends college for three years after which he goes to one of the above named graduate schools. Upon the completion of his first year there, he is given a degree by the college. At the end of his second year, he graduates, a qualified engineer. Dr. Howard C. Shaub, professor of mathematics.

The R.O.T.C. department will also spon- sor the rille team as it has done in the past. Besides these, R.O.T.C. has certain benefits which are available only to the cadets. For in- stance, the Pershing Rifles, a national honorary military society, is comprised of only outstanding army cadets. Also available to the individual cadet are a dozen different citations for special achievement in various fields. The highlight of the cadet year is the Military Ball, the formal military function of the college.

Assisting the de- partment as professor of psychology is Dr. lhlerle K. Miller. This year the Abnormal Psychology Class made a held trip to the lvestern Pennsylvania Psychiatric Hospital. Also supplementing the regular studies in psychology is the Experimental Psych course, which allords students the oppor- tunity to go into the field to learn. Xllashington and Jefferson is unique in that the first psychology course offered to the students is restricted to the upperclassmen. This primary course is a study in elementary psychology and emphasizes the scientific behavior of the indi- vidual human being. Other courses range from Psychology of Personality to Special Projects, a couse reserved for qualihed seniors majoring in psychology. Dr. Leslie A.

This is the pur- pose of the political science department to give that understanding of government. The depart- ment is headed hy Dr. Foust who, in turn, is assisted by Dr. Crouse. This training is of great value as good citizenship training gives us an understanding of principles, participation, obli- gation, and privileges in organized society. This is accomplished through such courses as Hlflcments of Democratic Government, American national, state, and local government courses. Others to whom the courses offered hy this department are particularly valuable are: pre- legal students, prospective teachers and those in- terested in preparing for government service.

The Phi Beta Kappa key is worn by many distinguished scholars and is recognized as the symbol of the leading honorary fraternity. ljndergraduate members normally do not make up more than 10 per cent of the senior class and are selected by the faculty members of the society: approximately half at the end of each semester. From time to time election is made of alumni who were high ranking graduates, have been out of college at least hfteen years, and whose scholarly achievement since graduation has been outstanding.

The members of the organization are selected hy their high scholastic standing without regard to major held of study so that membership is, in a sense. inter- departmental. lflstahlished on campus in 1940 as the Zeta chapter of the national organization, the group has entertained many philosophical questions and, on occasion, has invited guest speakers to participate in their meetings.

The glory of Greece and the grandeur of Rome are the universal cultural heritages which Pita Sigma Phi helps to preserve on the VVash- ington and Jefferson campus. Drs. Nyswaner and Bradeen have held the faculty leadership of the classical honorary and conducted many of the honorary's monthly meetings in their homes, or in the student-faculty lounge of Lazear Hall. At these meetings, the members submit papers on assigned topics or listen to revealing lectures.

This is due mainly to the large number of pre-medical students that are enrolled here. Qriginating at VVashington and Jefferson in 1936, it has continually strived toward stimu- lating interest and further study in the field of chemistry. hlembership in the honorary is re- stricted to thosehwho have taken a prescribed number of hours in chemistry, maintaining an above B average with an overall B average. Thus, membership is considered to be quite an achievement. At their regular bi-monthly meetings subjects concerning the different phases of the chemical field are discussed. In addition to these discus- sions field trips, movies, and special talks by prominent men in the chemical and related fields are employed. VVhile the accent of these activi- ties is on the new achievements which have not found their way into the textbooks, the basic facts are not neglected. It is believed that a thorough knowledge of chemistry can only be achieved with a sound chemical foundation. Qn several occasions the honorary has held joint meetings with Phi Sigma, the biology honorary. In this way both honoraries can better see the relationship between the two. Serving the honorary as officers this year are Howard Cohen, President: Jim Philips. Vice- President: Richard lNIcCloskey, Secretary: Ken- neth Kost, Treasurer.

The local chapter resulted as an outgrowth of the Darwinian Society which also stressed study in the lield of Biology. Nu chapter takes great pride in the fact that their total member- ship is less than 31111. Only those who have an overall B average and an above B average in the biological field are eligible for membership.

The local chapter is fortunate in having sev- eral l.atin-America students as members. This affords the other members with an opportunity to learn about Spanish and Spanish influenced cultures first hand. Nlembership is limited to those who have an overall B average and at least a B average in three years of Spanish. The Spanish Honorary plans for coming events' Russ Mobley, Fharles Mackey, and John Kohrer put their heads together in preparation of a eommg meeting. The honorary meets monthly to see films, hear reports, and listen to speakers on the topic of Spanish culture. It is believed that through these meetings a better understanding of our Spanish neighbors and their customs can be effected. This honorary is also fortunate in having Dr. Anthony bloreno of the Language Department as advisor. His keen interest in Spanish has been valuable to the chapter. ln fact, it was this in- terest which led to establishment of an annual conducted tour through Mexico. This tour has become the highlight of the academic year for his students. Nll MllPfRS HV 'HH SPXNISH HOMIRKRY ARI, l.I.i'tXlJINfIl IDR. NIURIXH, RUGFR KOSSLI-IR, PHII.

Under the leadership of Dr. Swift, head of the Psychology Depart- ment, the honorary has grown rapidly in its short life. .Ks are most honoraries, the membership is restricted. Only those with a minimum B aver- age and twelve credit hours in Psychology are invited to join. The honorary's regular monthly meetings are consumed in discussions, films, and speakers. Here they are presented with the new theories and the problems that psychology must face and solve. They also attempt to gain a working knowledge of the subject. Among the many speakers have been psychoanalyst and personnel directors in industry. Under the leadership of Charles Sonneborn, President: Al Schoepf, Vice-President: Roger Brightbill, Secretary, and XVes lfason. Treasurer, the honorary has continued to strive toward its ultimate goal: it is hoped they will eventually become a part of the national honorary to present before the public the importance of psychology.

The largest organization is the publications which are composed of the Red and Black, weekly college newspaper, the Pandora, the college year- book, and The VVall, a literary magazine. The Buskin Club affords training in the the- atrical sphere and the Intercollegiate Conference on Government develops the abilities of the politically minded who wish to learn legislative procedures. Students who are awarded scholarships are required to participate in at least two activities each year. For the most part the student is his own organizer with limited sponsorship from members of the faculty. VVashington and Jeffen- son College fully realizes the importance of extra- curricular organizations in the the education of every individual, an education which develops responsibility as well as intellect. Moffat Debate Founded in 1915, the Moffat Debate Forum provides an excellent opportunity for those who want to participate in intercollegiate debating and other forensic activities. However, not enough students have taken advantage of this opportuni- ty and the benefits gained from membership in this organization have been restricted by the lack of interest shown by the students at W. 81 Dr. Sanderlin hopes that next year there will be a renewed interest in the Moffat Debate Forum. Each year a topic is selected to be the theme, upon which that year's debates are based. This year the intercollegiate debate topic is: f'Resolv- ed: that Congress should adopt a policy of free trade. Dr. Mason spoke to the group about this policy. He outlined the issues that are involved and the arguments, both pro and con, connected with a policy of free trade. A varsity is selected composed of four men: two who affirm the ques- tion and two who refute it. 4 Fred Fristofori, editor-in-chief. Paul Rathgeb, business manager.

Dr. Ralph Thomas' experience with past l'an- doras served as a guide in meeting the many problems of publication. Assistant editors Kn- thony hlastrian and Byron Hoover gave their time and energy whenever called upon. Both ol' these students gave up two days of their lfaster vacation in order to identify proofs and read copy. Mr. Richard 'I'hompson's publicity depart- ment furnished several of the graduation and introductory photographs. His hle of pictures was always available to the Pandora. The ble- Neal Studio, now located in Canonsburg, are responsible for most of the photographs in this edition of the yearbook. This studio developed and printed over two thousand pictures. The l'andora is indebted to Mr. Charles .Xrnold of the Observer Photographic Studio for technical advice and assistance. Several pictures were taken by Nlr. .'Xrnold's staff. Thirty-nine Xvashington and Alellerson stu- dents composed the body of the yearbook staff. Their tasks ranged from editorial work to photo- graphy on the editorial division and advertising assignments on the business division. Finally, for expert advice and service in the bookls printing, the Pandora extends its gratitude to the Xvard l'rinting Company where a rough dummy becomes a polished yearbook. 1' 'jg LQ xr Qi - A S333 Asigsfal- :?Q'w' 1 -1 - 1 1:..:f.12' ffs: 1325125 145144: 1 A 1. -1 t,.: ?3 gg?Sj5S?3:'yj5fv? 1 we--1-9.

Franklin Literary Societ The Franklin Literary Society, which was re- activated three years ago, has once again realized its age old tradition of presenting faculty and student discussions on literature and closely re- lated liberal arts. It is a liberal organization in that its membership is open to all students inter- ested in the pithy expression of the ideas of their time, which are presented through whatever chan- nels that artist may use. Those who belong are desirous of finding the real, true definition ot the relationship of these ideas to their own lives. Approximately every three weeks, talks and panels are sponsored by the society in open meet- ings. The society shows that it works for a pur- pose in that it presents programs which are ot popular interest to those in intellectual pursuit of literary knowledge outside the classroom. The society's biggest program for the term of l953-54 included plays representing different phases of college life. The society presented tour plays from the New Yorker. They were: l'rf'l1nli' Io Reunion by Oliver Lafarge, llonors and Ri'- tcnrdy by James Reid Parker, Prom Il'yt't'iQl'llIi by XValter Beinstein, and .lposlalv by George Mil- burn. lifach play represents some phase of college life.

Intereolle iate Con erenee on Government Not to preach, nor to teach, but to learn Government. Upon this, the Intercollegiate Con- ference on Government was founded. The prime objective of this group is to prepare legislation for the annual conference at Harrisburg, where over forty colleges stage a mock political conven- tion. Here the representatives experience the problem of legislation and learn how to lobby for bills that they want passed. At the outset of the convention, the delegates are divided into committees and, as such, attempt to decide what bills they will present to the House for adoption. lvhen the bill is finally formulated, Ed Duignan offers his opinion on a piece of legislation to Bill Carson and James Welsh. the committee takes it to the House where it is debated. The group that represented YV. 86 bl. last year boasts of having passed six of the seven bills that they brought to the floor. This year's junior legislaturesll are under the guidance of Dr. Crouse and headed by Jim Hiles, president: George Anthou, vice-president: and Carl Decker, secretary-treasurer.

It was formed as an outgrowth of the Friday Fellowship, which is still meeting in conjunction with the association. Meeting weekly, the group has had many prominent men from Wlashington and vicinity speak to them, and with them in open panel dis- cussions. Their thoughts have in these cases covered many aspects of the importance of Chris- tian ideals in daily living. The members of the Student Christian Associ- ation take an active part in the community life of Wlashington as leaders in youth groups and numerous community projects. This gives them an opportunity to experience many of the ideals which are the basis of their faith. Thus it is the means of fostering the Christian and democratic heritage which belongs to VVashington and tlefier- son College.

In order to attain this distinction they must re- ceive a letter in the same sport for two years. These athletes have formed the Lettermanls Club to further the interest of sports on this campus, and to improve the conditions under which they operate. It is in this spirit that they have bought for the school a whirl-pool hath and are contem- plating the purchase of a tluplicator for the ath- letic oilice. The funds for these varied projects are produced by: running the concessions at the home football games, selling programs at all home basketball games, and the sale of Christmas cards.

The plays are being presented in the new theater-type auditorium, the converted Lincoln Street chapel. The interior of the chapel has been completely renovated as a new stage was built and the seats rearranged. The stage crew that did this line work was led by Roger Evans and Dick lfreid- land. They also took the task of relighting the theater so as to enhance the coming productions. This intricate lighting task was handled by John Parsons, the club's lighting technician. Arthur Miller's adaptation of lsben's 'lAn lffnemy of the People was the play presented in December. XVith the aid of the student director, ,Xl Schoepf, the production was a success. The extremely hard male lead was ably handled by Dan Friedman. The Spring semester play will be HStalag Sev- enteen, which was a booming success on Broad- way and in motion pictures.

Pre-Medical ociety Since Ivashington and -Ieflerson has one of the foremost pre-medical departments in the country, it is to be expected that a society for these premeds should develop. This society was organized on the campus in 1950. The purpose of this organization is to acquaint its members with various fields of medicine. The society strives to balance Classroom edu- cation with views of practical application of their academic knowledge through the use of films. These films this year have been on cancer, the treatment of cancer through radium therapy, normal labor, and Caesarean section. In addition to these films their were several lectures by Dr. Dieter, chairman of the Pre-lyledical Committee of YV. 81 The prominence of VV. 81 vI.'s pre-medical department has placed additional responsibility upon the organization, since it is the s0ciety's aim to develop the interests of these men in the field of medicine.

Beta Theta Pi The Beta Theta Pi Fraternity was founded at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, in lS39. The Gamma Chapter is the oldest chapter of Beta Theta P in continuous existence. lt is now in its ll3th year. Nlembers of the Gamma have distinguished themselves in many different phases of the cam- pus activities during the past year. They were well represented in varsity sports, such as foot- ball, basketball, track, and swimming. In other extra-curricular activities as the Red and Black, Pandora, Student Service Union, and the Student Council, the Beta were outstanding in their lead- ership. ln the field of scholarship, the Gamma Chap- ter maintained their high standards. During the first semester of this year, they ranked as the second highest fraternity in scholastic average. ln keeping with their ideas of improvement, the Betas have continued the renovations in their house which they started last year. They plan to carry this program even further in the future. Since their establishment on the VVashington and Jefferson campus, they have attempted to strive toward the purpose of their fraternity by providing the opportunities for mental, physical, and social development, through the rich and en- during bond of brotherhood.

Lippen- cott, the only living charter member, was head of the group of petitioners who applied for a charter in the oldest college west of the Alle- ghenies. ln the past few years the Kappa Sigs have experienced several house movings. Last year was spent at 237 East Wlheeling Street. How- ever, since the beginning of the present year, the chapter house has been at 202 Fast Beau Street. This house had been renovated by the college and the members redecorated and refurnished much of it. The chapter was represented on the gridiron this season by letter Winners Dick Pisarcik and Camille lylaravalli. The fraternity participated in all intramural sports this year with line results. The basketball team ended the season with only one defeat and reined as champions of the college. A game with the intramural squad of Carnegie Tech's Kappa Sigs is planned before the end of the year.

There are now 1-15 chapters and it has a membership of over -18,0110 men. The chapter at XV. K grew out of a society known as the Barracks Club, which was formed on January 18, 1911. lts first meeting place was a basement room at 266 ljast Beau Street. Later the organization resided and met in one section of Hays Hall. In 1915 the club moved into a house on liast Chestnut Street, and in 1919 it became the Gamma Zeta Chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha. ln 1922 the chapter moved to its present location at 333 lflast Beau Street. Despite its small size, the Gamma Zeta Chap- ter participates in the intramural sports, and many of its members are active in such extracur- ricular activities as the Red and Black, Pre-lWed- ical Society and many others. Gamma Zeta is looking forward to a pros- perous future. .Ks always, the chapter is attempt- ing to aid in the development of its members toward the high ideals, for which the fraternity stands.

Letterman and Charles P. T. hloore, on February 19, 1852. Today, 102 years later, Pennsylvania Alpha of XYashington and Jefferson College, the parent chapter, is in a position to further the ideals of her founders. The local chapter is one of the strongest on campus in both number and capabil- ities. lvith thirty-four active members and ten pledges, Phi Psi is a leader in college activities. Phi Psis offering their services in varsity sports included John Conley, .lehf Leake, Les Bry- ant, Ray Keisling, Larry Curran, Charles Cima, Bill Dourlain, and Laird Anderson in football, Tony DeCello in basketball, and Al lfkstrom, swimming. On the intramural scene, Phi Psi started the year by copping volleyball honors, and was run- ner-up in basketball. lvrestling is another sport in which Penn Alpha is aiming for top laurels. Also, most of last year's cup-winning softball team returns intact this spring, and should be a strong contender. Shortly after February initiation, a leadership cadre of national and chapter officers from three other Pennsylvania colleges met at Penn Alpha to discuss and further fraternity relations. A house-leveling fire in 1935, and the lean war years failed to squelch the flame of Phi Kap- pa Psi, and she now finds herself as strong as the fervor of her founders.

Phi I appa Sigma Since 1850, Phi Kappa Sigma has grown as a national fraternity. Today its forty-four chap- ters still maintain the same principles of fellow- ship and unity on which Phi Kappa Sigma was founded. Here at VV. 8: the Delta Chapter has been active in many extra-curricular activities. A few of these are Franklin Literary Society, Buskin Club, Red and Black, Pandora, Pre-lVIedical So- ciety, Chi Epsilon lNlu, Bridge Club, Chess Club, Student Service Union, and Alpha Kappa Alpha. The Skulls have also participated in many aspects of the intramural athletic program. They have actively participated in track, basketball, swimming, volleyball, bowling, wrestling, soft- ball, and ping pong. Phi Kappa Sigma feels that social events are an essential part of college life. The fraternity has been extremely successful in their parties which are held twice monthly. It has always been the aim of Phi Kappa Sigma to promote among its members the feeling of fraternal friendship. It has also tried to dif- fuse this amicable feeling among the other social groups on the VVashington and Jefferson College campus.

Pi Lambda Phi also took first place last semester and is looking forward to a repeat performance at the end of this semes- ter. Por a number of years the Pi Lams have been among the leaders in this field. Taking inventory on the occasion of its sixth anniversary, Pi Lambda Phi feels that it has come a long way in six short years, and is look- ing forward to reaching even greater heights. The bulk of the credit must go to the individual brothers, all of whom have worked toward a common goal. Pi Lambda Phi owes its progress to this spirit of fraternalism, fellowship, and cooperation that exists among all its brothers, and the faithful following of the democratic ideals set down by its founders. XVith such ideals, Pi Lambda Phi lfraternity should continue to grow in the next six years by the same leaps and bounds which have marked the great achieve- ments of its first six years on the campus of Yvash- ington and Jefferson College.

Later in the third period the Big Red added another tally on one of the three costly .lay fum- ,?i hles of the day. In the fourth stanza the Jaymen were again within striking distance after a 10- yard Dalglish to Pisarcik aerial was completed for a touchdown. The final score was 27-14 in favor of Deni- son.

S'I'ANHORUUGIl. Coach .Xdam Sanders' 1953-54 edition of the XY. K Al. basketball team opened its season with confidence and an awareness that the road ahead was going to be a long, tough one. Gone from the lineup were such standouts as -lohn blojzer, Aloe Richards, l,ou Alvarez, and lid blcGlumphy, all of whom had been experienced veteran per- formers. The schedule was a diflicult one by any standards including Penn State and St. Francis - both of whom made fine showings in post- season tournaments: the Quantico Marines, who beat some of the top college teams in the country, and traditional rivals-XVestminster and l.awr- ence Tech. ln posting a final record of I2 wins and 6 losses, the cage squad performed admir- ably, giving XV. 8: tl. fans something to look for- ward to in coming years. The quintet opened its season against St. Vin- cent College at home and turned in an impressive performance, winning by a score of 81 to 56. .X number of line individual performances were turned in, led by center Cy Godfrey, who tallied 19 points. Godfrey was followed in the scoring column by George Cushner with 17 points, Jim Corbett with 13, and Neil Oblom with ll points. The outcome of the game was never in doubt f'y Godfrey loses a rebound, but Ohlom prepares to eatelz llze free' ball. .layn1en lake lime out for a breather and advice from Adam Sanders. Left to right the athletes are George Kushner, Neil Oblom, James Corbett, aml Bill Knox. George Kushner passes to the outside after clearing the boards. and by halftime the Presidents had accumulated a lead of 47 to 30. The Red K Black's next outing was against l'enn State away. The Presidents neyer had a chance in this contest. The taller, more experi- enced State team who dominated the play were led by All-American Jesse Arnelle. YV. K sl. was unable to get started and hit for only nine lield goals in the entire game. Arnelle led State with 18 points while the linal buzzer found VV. K on the short end of a 66-41 score. The Presidents rebounded against Bethany, winning by a score of 63 to 48. Once again Cy Godfrey and Kushner showed their potential as a one-two scoring punch, tallying 26 and 17 points respectively. Another outstanding job was turned in by blcflay of Bethany who, in addition to tallying 15 points, turned in a line defensive game and continually sparked the Bethany team. Against lVestminster the Presidents put on a line example of team play and won by the im- pressiye score of 73 to 56. The entire starting liye scored in double ligures, led by Thornberry with 16 points. Neil Oblom did a line job on rebounds in addition to scoring 12 points. Riley and Nell led Xvestminster with ll points apiece. i The .lay quintet on the offensive led by number twenty, fy Godfrey. The Red ck Black continued its winning ways against a small but scrappy team from the Uni- versity of blexico. .Xfter a 12-12 first quarter the -laymen started to pull away, and by the end of the third quarter the score was 54-33. Kush- ner led the scoring w'ith 19 points while eleven men broke into the scoring column. Ciaitan was high scorer for the hlexicans with 16. The Prexies' tightest game of the year thus far came against Bethany at home. Behind at half-time by a score of 26-25, the ,laymen put on an 18-point third quarter, only to have Bethany come back with 211 in the final quarter, while stopping the hlay attack with an all-court press. The Red and Black managed to hang on, how- ever, and won by the score of 56-52. Godfrey, Thornberrv, and DeCc11o were the standouts, contributing 13 points apiece. Uefello was par- ticularly impressive in working against the press. The squadls next outing was against lvest- minster, whom they had beaten earlier in the season, this time at New lvilmington. The Presi- dents got off to a line start but were outscored 16-8 in the second quarter and were never quite George Kushner presses the attack against Waynesburg Follege. Godfrey scores on fl drive-in froln the pivot. able to catch up. 1Vestminster turned in one of its finest games, led by Strehler with 15 points and Riley with 12. Godfrey once again was high man with 211 points, but the final score was Yvest- minster 611, XV. tk Al. 51. .lourneying to Detroit, the -laymen ran up against a fast-breaking Lawrence Tech team and couldn't seem to get their attack rolling. Behind by four points at half-time, the l'rexies were held to 1 1 points in the third quarter and were unable to make up the difference. Kushner of XV. ik Al. and XYestbrook of Tech led the scorers with 16 points apiece, with Godfrey contributing 14. The linal score was 53-44, in favor of Lawrence Tech. Returning home, the slaymen once again found the range and downed their traditional rivals Carnegie Tech by the score of 61-53. Again, the Godfrey-Kushner combination clicked for 211 and 19 points, respectively. Kushner provided the clincher in the last quarter when he tallied ten points. Boyd led the losers with 15. The l'residents garnered another win against Thiel. ,Xfter ,lay had built up a 21-14 first quar- ter lead, the visitors changed their tactics and played a defensive game and the half-time score was 28-25 in favor of -lay. The l'reXies finally caught fire once more, however, and ran up a 20-point last quarter, winning bv the score of 62-53. Sophomore center Don lfuhr played an outstanding game, particularly on rebounds, and was high scorer with 16 points. lvilson and hlor- ris tallied 15 apiece for the visiting l.utherans. The Presidents' next opponents were the Quantico Nlarines, comprised of former college players and featuring All-.Xmericans Paul :Xrizin of Villanova and Richie Regan of Seton Hall. The -laymen were outclassed in this contest from the start and it was just a matter of seeing how close they could stay to the taller, more experi- enced blarines. Although the final score was 80-64 the ,laymen made a line showing, particu- larly Godfrey, who tallied 19 points. Arizin led the scorers with 26 points.

The .laymen got the lead early in the game and hung onto it. By the end of the third quarter the seore was 53-51 in favor of Jay and the final score read 73-68. Godfrey aeeounted for 30 points for a new individual high scoring record for XY. K AI., and Heseh of Gannon was high man with 3-1. Kushner, however, hit for 23. two of his baskets Coming at an opportune time in the final quarter, and the Presidents managed to squeeze out a close one. Returning home, the Presidents faced a weak XVavnesburg quintet and won by the one-sided seore of 70-50. Unee again the Godfrey-Kusliner Combination hit for 46 points: from the opening whistle the outeome of the game was never in l'oaeh Sanders and players Kushner, Ponte, Oblom, and Defellu in the dressing room at half lime.

After leading throughout the entire game, the .laymen weakened in the last quarter and Teeh managed to tie the seore and send the game into overtime. ln the overtime. the .lay squad seemed to fall apart as they were held to one field goal while Tech seored 15 points. The final score ot 64-51 belies the closeness of the game, in which the losers almost eontinuously outplayed the winners. Steubenville was the 1'resident's next oppo- nent at home and the eontest was a tight one throughout the first half. The half-time score was 36-36. ln the third quarter, however. Ciod- frey and Kushner found the range and hit for eight and ten points respectively to give the l'rex- ies a substantial lead. The final seore was 78-67.

The team, inconvenienced and hampered by cold and rainy weather, stood up fairly well under the seasoned and experienced squads of all the col- leges in the area. The golf team traveled to Slippery Rock for their first match. after the alumni opener had been rained out. Here they lost a very one- sided battle. The teamls efforts were futile against Carnegie Tech, YVest Virginia, Pitt and VVest Virginia, but they emerged victorious with a sur- prise victory over Vllaynesburg. The golf team then played host and lost a close match to Duquesne C. and were defeated by Pitt on Pitt's home course, Shannopin.

Fencing Although fencing is not a major sport at VVashington and Jefferson College, it is certainly one of the most exciting and fascinating. The purpose of this club is to develop to the status where it may enter into competition with Penn State and C.l.T. The fencing club is anticipating several of these formal matches in the coming year. Another objective of the organization is to become a charter member in the National Fencing Club. After constant continual efforts on the part of the club and its coach, R. YV. Harder. the administration finally granted it a small fencing room. This room is located in the gymnasium's Wrestling room.

The first meet against Slippery Rock was lost by a score of 68-63. This was marked by an initial weakness in the shot put and discus events, and a strength in the sprint events led by record holder, Jack Nlcljlravey, in the 100 and 200 yard dash events. Bethany then overpowered the Presidents by a decisive margin. The meet was highlighted by Nlclilravey in the dashes and freshman .lim Ifarsonls two mile run. The Red and Black finally found their stride as they swamped Grove City 70-58. lNIcI'ilravey won the 220 and broke Grove City's 100 yard dash record with a 9.8 seconds time. Farson Won the mile run and in the two mile run developed a limp. He went on to finish the event in first place, but suffered a setback when he learned that his foot had been broken, ending his cinder par- ticipation for that season. Qutstanding in this meet was Neil Oblom, who broke the record for the 120 yard high hurdle race with a time of 15.6 seconds. 156 jay trounced the Titans of lvestminster by an overwhelming score of 90 to 41.

Pisar- cilc in the low hurdles and high jump, Sislcovic in javelin and discus events, and Curt Turnbull in the broad jump turned in first places to in- crease the margin of victory. Geneva was Jay's next victim by a score of 79 to 52. lffxcellent performances turned in by Mclillravey, Leake, Bryant, Cooper, lNIackey, Pisarcik, Oblom, Donovan, Siskovic, Turnbull, and Kamerer saw the l'rexies cop ten first places. The full force of the loss of Farson was felt by the Prexie cindermen in the Tri-State bleet at Allegheny on lVIay l6. lVlcl'llravey terminated an undefeated season individually, with wins in the dashes. Neil Oblom turned in a spectacular performance in winning the high hurdles and placing second in the high jump. Turnbull proved his ability by placing in the high jump, broad jump, and low hurdles.

Before returning to their dormitories and fraternity hous- es, the Jaymen spend an hour in the gym or at College Field competing with their classmates in a variety of sports which include howling, track, and swimming, to mention only a few. The outlined photograph on this page signifies the close cooperation between students and the athletic de- partment necessary to make the intra- mural program successful. Coach McMullen with his assistants Paul Reardon and Charles Nelson organ- ize the events: performing and oflici- ating is governed by the student. Track Ihe l953 intramural softball season was out- standing as one of extraordinary enthusiasm on the part of the students. Ifnough teams were entered into competition to necessitate two divi- sions. The entire season was marked by many close contests and several upsets. Phi Delta Theta and Phi Kappa Psi fraterni- ties were victorious in their respective sections. In a closely contested play-off battle, the Phi Psis emerged with a victory and subsequently the soft- ball crown. oftball XYith the intramural sport parade leaving the gym and going outdoors, the fireek athletes started limbering up for track, the first of the outdoor sporting events. The Phi Clams again came out on top for the track cup, but they had to give up the coveted mile relay trophy to the Phi Psis. The Ifijis won only one event, that being the 880 yard relay, but they had enough other places to give them a decided advantage. lol Bi lup Une ol the most enjoyable forms of relax- ation is participating in sports. The Xllashington and Llefferson intramural program has been estab- lished for this end. The program has met with success with all ten fraternities and the independ- ents participating. The award for the organization that has ac- cumulated the greatest number of points at the end of the school year is the coveted Big Cup: all participants strive unceasingly for this achieve- ment. Points are awarded to the winners in all of the sporting events. The l952-53 season found the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity emerging as the winner for the fourth consecutive year. Having retired the old Big Cup last year, the Ifijis succeeded in securing a strong hold on the new one. .X strong contender in Pi I.ambda Phi forced a race to the finish. Leading most of the year the Pi I.ams were edged out by only a few points. Close behind was the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity in third place and the Phi Delta Theta fraternity in fourth. The race this year proved to be one of the fierc- est yet, since all ten fraternities produced strong competition. In the individual sports the winners were as follows: Volleyball. Pi I.ams: Swimming, Phi Clams: Basketball. Kappa Sigma: XYater Basket- ball, Plii Delts: XVrestling. Phi Delts: Ping Pong, Skulls: Howling, .Xlpha Tau Omega: Track. Phi Gam: and Softball, Phi Psis. YVhile intramurals have provided the student with a means of relaxation, it has also proven to be one of the unifying factors in the college.

Intramural Wrestling The Phi Gam dominance ol' the wrestling cup was squelched this year hy a powerful Phi Delta Theta mat team. The competition was very close hetween the Phi Psis and the Phi Delts, with the latter team coming out ahead hy a single point margin. Three out of four Phi Delts who reached the finals won their respective weight classy one of them had to heat a Phi Psi grappler to achieve this distinction. Tn the 130 pound class, lfli Nickman of the Phi Delts pinned Ken Cramer of the Kap- pa Sigs in the second period to start off the point scoring spree of the Phi Delts. Gene Rongaus kept up the Phi Delt tradition with his decision over Bert Pitchtord, the highly rated Lambda Chi wrestler, in the 147 pound class. The Phi Psis had their only championship weight in the 157 pound class when Les Bryant went into an overtime period to defeat the Phi Delt. -lack Jenkins.

Intramural Volleyball Sharing top billing with the new sport of waterbasketball, the volleyball cup race initiated the new intramural season. This year a new rule of six players was instigated, making for a faster, more interesting game. The emphasis was placed on a fast, oflensive team where the big man could be maneuvered into a set-up position so as to get the quick point. The past cup winning Pi Lams tried to make it three years in a row but their attempt was shattered in the opening contest with the Phi Psis who went on to win the cup. The Phi Psis found that their sextet could perform well. They quickly picked up this new style of game and went through the season with- out a loss. They were sparked by Bob Shaeffer and Buck Nlackey, and ably supported by Glenn Hostetter and Bill Caldwell. The l'LlI1IlCI'-Llp Pi Lams found their greatest strength in Chuck Burstin's offensive ability and the combined tal- ents of Howie Bitterman and Morty Davidson. ln the postseason game the Phi Psi squad kept their record unblemished as they routed the intra- mural All-Stars.
