e re in . . . A SENIOR PUBLICATION WEST CHESTER STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE WEST CHESTER PENNSYLVANIA Dr. William F. Vollbrecht DGDICniOI It is with a feeling of pride that we of the 1952 Serpentine Staff dedicate our yearbook to a man who has been a guiding source of inspiration to us since our arrival here at West Chester State Teachers College. In recognition of his fine service to our class, we have chosen as our dedicatee, Dr. William F. Vollbrecht. A graduate of Northwestern University, Dr. Vollbrecht came to West Chester in 1938 after hav- ing completed his studies at the University of Penn- sylvania, University of Berlin, University of Miami, Stanford University, and Harvard University. Dr. VoUbrecht ' s finest contribution has been his classroom teaching where he has brought us not only the benefit of his scholastic achievement but also the wealth of his travel abroad. Dr. VoUbrecht ' s reputation as an authority in the field of social studies is a well-deserved honor. His study and travel in such countries as Germany, England, Belgium, France, Austria, Hungary, Den- mark, Poland, Switzerland, Norway, and Sweden have made him .a specialist in his chosen fields of early and modern European history and comparative government. He has widened his contacts with the students through the field of extra-curricular activities. He served for a time as faculty adviser of the Inter- collegiate Conference on Government and World Affairs. More recently he has given unselfishly of his time and counsel to guide the graduating class through four successful years here. A familiar figure on campus. Dr. Vollbrecht has become endeared to both faculty and students alike. His understanding manner and his willingness to be of service have done much toward making him a forceful personality. Because of the great part he has played in mould- ing us into the future teachers of America, we take this means of expressing our sincere apprecia- tion to Dr. William Vollbrecht. Pmwm We remember the thrill of being back on campus the first day. The college came to life again, and those long lines for registration were back. Pictured to the right is Marjory Dean getting her roster from Miss Peggy Groff. mri« ' . With the long summer vacation left behind them, men and women students both awakened to the prospect of returning to class. The lines moved from Recreation Hall and registration to the task of moving belongings into the dormitories. The dorms once again became the centers of interest. The line of cars appeared on the quadrangle as women students started their first phase of dormitory life — moving in. We recall that that was the day when brothers, fathers, and beaus with arms full of suitcases, coats, lamps, and hangers were allowed to wander through the halls. We were able to catch one small group as they started the routine trips from cars to rooms. Then came that part of processing for freshmen, known as orientation. Pic- tured on the lower right are a group of freshmen men as they made their way from Philips Memorial Auditorium following their first conference. This was for freshmen their first formal contact with life at West Chester State Teachers College. TO LIFE Old HAMTS RE Although the long summer vacation was over, the summer weather was not. After having braved the lines at registration and having moved belongings to our rooms, we took off with renewed spirit to quench our thirst and more important, to see the crowd again. The talk ran fast and furious outside the Purple and Gold Tea Room as Joan Nyland, Karl Lieblong, Virginia Byerly, Robert Edwards, Robert Hoy, and Patricia Bethea acted as a self-appointed welcoming committee on the sidewalk. After awhile, everyone at this stop had told and retold vacation escapades and was ready to move on to another spot — the Commons. Here, welcoming us was a Commons with its new blue walls waiting to soothe us and to listen to our stories. Relaxing in the Commons we found Bridget Arrigale, Louis DiMassa, Phyllis Marinaci, Vera Bigelow, Nancy Hunsicker, Marilyn Clymer, Dorothy Rafter, and Joan Snader. VISITED Before the serious work of classes had really begun, we spent much time in carefree idleness at the Purple and Gold Tea Room. Laughter, conversation, and refreshments seemed to be the most important activities for the moment. We stocked up at the Little Man ' s because we expected to have a gab fest which would probably last long into the night. mimn n rHESIDEIT Dr. Charles S. Swope DEAN OF INSTRUCTION Mr. Winfield W.

Graham n mum On July 30, members of the West Chfester State Teachers College and of the community were sad- dened by the death of Mr. Charles L. Graham, an instructor in the Health and Physical Education Department. Few men have molded themselves into the life of an institution as did Mr. Graham, who projected his talents and personality into the life of the West Chester State Teachers College. Charlie , as he was most generally known to faculty and students, was graduated from Spring- field College in Massachusetts. He was awarded his master ' s degree at New York University. Later he served as physical instructor at the Dayton, Ohio Y.M.C.A., and he held coaching posts at Springfield, Massachusetts, and Troy, New York. For fourteen years, prior to his appointment at West Chester, Mr. Graham had been assistant professor of physical education at Williams College. In addition to this enviable record, he served on our own college faculty for sixteen years. During this time, he coached almost every sport here. His last coaching assignments were associated with the varsity swimming, cross country, and tennis teams. Mr. Graham ' s devotion to the students was sym- bolized by his unbounded faith in them. His very presence led many to look on the brighter side of depressing situations. A quick wit and a dry sense of humor were his most familiar characteristics. It goes without say- ing that he was one of the most popular coaches ever to serve at West Chester. Beyond the campus of our college, Mr. Graham was an active and respected member of the West Chester community. His interest in civic affairs was in keeping with the American way of life. Mr. Graham ' s associations with the Red Cross were among his most cherished activities. He was recently honored by that organization for twenty- five years of faithful service. It is with the deepest sincerity that we pay tribute to the memory of a man whose loyal de otion to our college will ever be an inspiration. James E. Cook ' 5, Elsie O. Bull n mmim Elsie Oleta Bull left this life on November 2, 1951. The news inexpressibly saddened innumerable friends. With the pasasge of time it becomes more and more evident how great is the number of those who sincerely mourn for her and share the poign- ance of her loss. In her lifetime of service given ungrudgingly to her profession, she had first shared the warmth and strength of her great personality with her colleagues on the faculty. Closely associated with those friends come rank upon rank of the young men and women whose pre- sumable relationship was that between student and teacher in the classroom. But in the thirty-five years during which each semester a new generation of stu- dents came under her influence, there were few in- deed who did not carry away a conviction of her personal interest in them as individuals, and learn lo return it with gratitude and affection. But deep as was her absorption in her professional life, it by no means set a boundary to her vigorous activities. Innumerable neighbors in the little town of Delta who had known her through childhood, lively girlhood, into dignified and charming matur- ity, were drawn into her interest in her church, her home, her garden, and every project for the welfare of the community. There is every reason to believe that her twelve years of retirement, shared with her beloved sister, Marjorie Sellers, at their home, was still richer in the satisfaction of active fulfillment than those who have preceded them. It was a multitude from all walks of life and from near and far distant places who were saddened by her last illness and shocked and grieved by her death. The story of suffering and ultimate merciful oblivion was received with a constriction of the heart, and often with tears. And then comes the miracle of Elsie Bull ' s last characteristic gift to her friends. Even as the bowed head is raised, the heart lightens as lips form the inevitable phrase, But do you remember — ? And then will follow the tale of a generous act, a problem solved, a piece of whirl- wind cohesion, sudden generalship in an emergency, quaint philosophy or a quip well turned, an attack on laziness or an illuminating and kindly character analysis — on and on, recollection challenging recol- lection, until an immortal personality stands again at our sides and a positive vitality replaces the negation of sorrow. The assuaging of their grief at her death by her own enduring and unconquerable spirit is Elsie Bull ' s dearest legacy to her friends. Miss Dorothy Ramsey CLASS OFFIOERS Pictured to the left are the presidents of the sopho- more, junior, and senior class. They are Donald Wright, president of the sophomore class, John Gueraccini, junior class president, and Richard Light, senior class president. Theirs was the task of directing the many individual class activities which made the 1951-52 semesters successful. It was not long before the business of being back at school was a reality. Elections, that had been postponed last year because of the national emer- gency and the draft, took place early in the school year. The results of the elections found Richard Light, president of the senior class with Arthur Nazigian serving as vice-president. At the head of the junior class was Jolin Gueraccini as president with George Rath acting as vice-president. The sophomores chose Donald Wright as president and Allen Speakman as vice- president. The officers and members of the classes began earnestly to turn out a series of activities throughout the year that were a real credit to the individual classes and their sponsors. wndeficL LISTMP, LMRIED The extra-curricular activities and the social events were not all that went into the making up of the schoolyear. Once again the schedule of classes took up the major portion of the day and evening. The secondaries majoring in the field of science began again the hours of work in the laboratories solving the mysteries of chemical compositions. Pictured to the right is such a group of students spending an afternoon in the chemistry laboratory. The music students got back into the routine of spending most of their free time in the music practice rooms. The task of passing keyboard harmony became a major topic of conversation. The two students who appear in the picture to the right seem to be enjoying their period of practice. The health and physical education students took over the gymnasiums once again to build their skills in the various gymnastic feats. The parallel bars, horses, ropes, and mats were used to their full advantage. Pictured to the right are students engaging in the strenuous routine of being health education students. Then, too, the seniors were introduced to the rigorous schedule of the future teacher through their student teaching assignments. Two periods a week were spent in the curriculum and materials classes discussing problems encountered while student teaching. Other students went to classes; some seniors battled with a split schedule of student teaching ; all were busy as the school ' year rolled on to May. Shirley Ziff, Anthony Tamboro, and Raymond Hood work in the college laboratory. Darlington Kulp and his accompanist are seen in one of the practice rooms. Robert Morgan, Francis Conway, and James Cook take their wrestling exercises in class. BACK ROW: Rowland, Hamilton, Yaure, Waller, Gallant. FRONT ROW: Reese, Kernan, Stewart, M.

HB ■ l flk mwtiJBM LilllliHGD m LIVED Day students started their school day at their lockers and then moved on to join the dormitory students as they made their way from class to class along the old familiar pathways. Serious trends of thought are temporarily interrupted by the bells. Minds turn toward unending pleasure as one and all scramble to that small building which stands in its quiet and unassuming way to produce so much happiness — The Post Office! Here, letters, cards, packages, large and small, all needed and anxiously awaited, produce that indescribable, intangible so called lift . The sight is inconceivable, and it can be appreciated only by those who see and enjoy it. Faces that only a few minutes ago were stern and serious, carrying the countenances of adults, are as the faces of little children with their prize toy. Does it seem possible that just a few letters can do so much ? Letters are opened and read ; then, minds turn again to the problems at hand. However, as the students return to their classes, they seem to have a new air about them — a new strut to their walk, which can only be defined as a feeling of security and increased happiness. Letters of encouragement, future dreams, and hopes may be a small Init sucJi a vital part to all in our lives here at West Chester . Now, again, the bell has rung, classes have begun, notebooks are ojjened, minds alert, and all former thoughts are cast aside. The thirst for knowledge stands forth and shows itself as our first and true objective. mu Joan Murray and Joseph Moore are typical of the happy smiles and contented faces that look forward in their never- ending quest for knowledge. To them knowledge is a source of happiness now and in the future. - i 41 A true university is a collection of books — a quota- tion loved, understood, add appreciated by all those who see it, a quotation which has real meaning for students in the famed halls of West Chester. The library at West Chester plays a vital part in the life of our students. It is an endless source of value both academically and culturally. To the students it is a haven, a form of rescue in their search for new and improved methods in their complex fields of teaching. For all, a feeling of pleasure and a deep sense of satis- faction are found here. THEIR llIDERIiRilDllilTE Books, books, and more books . . . hours spent searching through the stacks for a special book . . . Sunday afternoons trying to accomplish a week ' s work. These are the luxuries -of the Francis Harvey Green Library. In the recreational reading room are found stacks upon stacks of fiction books to suit all tastes and jjersonal- ities. Pictured below is a typical group relaxing in a quiet corner of the recrea- tional reading room. They are as pictured : Charles Grumbine, John Brennan, Gary Zwieg, Harry Reiff, and Harry Gallant. Also on the second floor and opposite to the recreational reading room is the juvenile room, which is used by the elementary students and the children of the Demonstration School. The elementary students use this room primarily as a source for children ' s literature. Our juvenile room is considered one of the best among children ' s libraries. On the main floor of the library is found the reference room with its collection of encyclopedias and other reference books. Opposite this room is the reserve room, where special material needed for classroom work is kept available for the college students. In the basement we have the recreational reading room, where students can read newspapers and magazines for classwork or for personal enjoyment. Pictured to the left are Elizabeth Senst, Virginia Keshel, and Robert Bade spending an after- noon in study. On each floor of the library there are stacks of books, row ujx)n row of useful books to aid the student to prepare an assignment. Individual desks and tables are provided for study. But it is to the stacks with its small desks that most students go to seek quiet and conducive study atmosphere. The library would be incomplete without its staff of efficient librarians and student helpers. Miss Helen Russell is the head librarian, and her staff includes Miss Faye Collicott, Miss Geraldine Conbeer, and Mrs. Beltz. To these librarians we can sincerely say thank you for having helped all of us to become better students. DAYS Deborah Pierce is one of the lucky ones. She has two men, Ronald Dellicker and Irving Jacobs an to appreciate her feminine charms. September semester began, and the upperclassmen were quick to recognize the incoming freshmen. Looking back, we remember November as the month of the wearing of the green dinks and cardboard signs. Sounds of Buttons, Frosh filled the campus air as the response bounced back, ' Beat Bloomsburg, Beat Drexel . Violators were reported to the Freshman Court. Those were the days when we decided to go easy on the poor freshmen. But, do we recall the days of our freshman regulations when just women students were put through the scourge of hell week ? Remember walking to class with hair up in socks one day, pin curls the next, and strings the next ? The humiliation of it all — we were college freshmen. We had just started to get acquainted with the men on campus when frosh regulations ordered no dates, no make-up. But then, one year later we had hidden the dinks and signs, and we sat back like smug upperclassmen to watch the freshmen squirm. Regs began and were ended before any of us realized that the semester was progressing and that we, the college community, had settled down to life at West Chester State. MilKIIG Memories are made of what we thought were common campus scenes. We can now look back on the everyday occurrences and realize the important part they played in our college life. Remember the times we complained about the West Chester weather? Never- theless, we withstood them all — rain, snow, sleet, and hail. The rains came, and we weathered the storms as we dashed from building to building and from class to class. We sought refuge from the out-of-doors in the snug warmth of the college dinifig room. Will we ever forget those cafeteria-style meals at the beginning of each semester and those endless lines — however did they get so long? As the semester progressed, the luxury of waiter service returned. Students relaxed and listened to the announcements given over the dining room public address system. With the progression of the fall semester came the unforgettable Valkyrie Club regulations administered to unsuspecting sophomore health and physical education women students. Up in the morning to the strains of the Valkyrie Chorus, women students entered the smoker to meet their ladies-in-waiting . Junior and senior health eds — remember how we thought we would never live through those hectic three days? Beds to make, shoes to be shined, the quadrangle measured in cigarettes — but when we were upperclassmen we expected the sophomores to live up to all the rules. And the poor sophomore struggled on to become finally a member of the famed Valkyrie Club. Remember the cartoon that appeared in Quad Angles asking why we did not teach them how to act like ladies ? Were we annoyed ? Do we remember? As the years burn into glowing embers, we shall remember . . . we shall remember. . . . MEMORIES Pictured at the upper right are Pauline Harold, Phyllis Marinacci, and Robert Carlin in the George Washington Social Room, standing before the famous Peale portrait of General Washington. This portrait is one of West Chester ' s greatest treasures, is nationally famous, and world-renowned. We pay tribute to the graduates of ' 52. We salute them, but our tribute seems insufficient. They have worked hard toward their goal. They have reached the climax of a career. Now, they are prepared to seek other and greater ideals. We extend our sincere wishes for success in life to these future teachers — the graduates . We are the Fresliman Class . . . Beat P.M.C. . . .

Elementary Transfer from Maryville College, Tennessee F.T.A., Phonograph Club Governing councils, clubs to broaden our interests, and groups to improve our professional standards are all part of our college activities program. We elected officers, planned our meetings, and worked toward a successful year. In the upper picture, Peggy Stover, Lois Cope, and Mary Jane Mercer are busy looking at notices on the college bulletin board in Main Dormitory. Early in the fall, we found a list of clubs, advisers, and meeting places here. After electing offices and organizing programs, we moved into a season of activities which pre- sented opportunities for new and interesting experiences. The annual Senior Tea, the Junior Prom, Little Theater productions, Freshman Regulations, and the All- College parties were some of the many outstanding functions of the year. We also participated in professional clubs which helped us to enlarge our interests and pre- pare us for the field of teaching. Our special activities help us to relieve the tension of classes and to enjoy our life on the campus of West Chester. jicimiies QiiiiD mm D. Young, News Editor; V. Brown, Managing Editor; McGinnis. r Dr. Thomas E. Berry Faculty Adviser A student body without an official voice would be without a means to express its desires and opinions. For this reason, Quad Angles is published bi-monthly during the college year. The news section keeps students informed about activities on campus, such as All-Star programs, elections, special presentations, and club news. On the second page of the paper are found columns such as Random Thoughts and the Question Box. These are written by the feature staff and editors, and they express opinions of the staff and the student body. In order to publish and distribute Quod A ngles, the business staff budgets the money received from the Student Activities Association and also solicits advertise- ments from local businessmen. B.

This group ha been organized to harmonize the work of the Day and Dormitory Councils for women. The board consists of the president, vice-president, and two representatives of each of these two councils. The Senior Tea, the Big-Little Sister Picnic, the Women ' s Banquet, and the Mid-Winter Formal are some of the annual events sponsored by the Advisory Board. Officers of the Advisory Board are Eileen Reilly, president; Gwendolyn Fisher, vice-president; Grace Crispin, secretary; and Virginia Tiley, treasurei. Mrs. King acts as adviser to the group. The members of the Fire Brigade conduct the fire drills in the women ' s dormi- tories. A captain, lieutenant, and patrolman are selected to represent the girls from each hall. A captain for the entire Brigade is chosen from Student Council. After each drill, the group meets with the adviser. Miss Broadhead, and Council Captain, Edith Yocum, to discuss the success of the drill. Eileen Reilly, president of the Advisory Board. ADVISORY BOilllD The girls to the left are the members of the Ad- visory Board. They meet regularly with Mrs. Irene King, Dean of Women, to coordinate day and dormitory activities. Through their efforts social functions are organized and women ' s day and dormitory affairs are conducted. The Advisory Board members are as follows: FIRST ROW: Gwendolyn Fisher, Eileen ReUly, Virginia Tiley. SECOND ROW: Mrs. Irene King, Nancy Herr, Marjory Dean, Doris Ganges. FIRE BRIGADE To the right is pictured the Fire Brigade under the direction of Miss Leone Broadhead and Council Cap- tain, E ith Yocum. The lieuten- ants lead the girls out of the dor- mitory while the captains check the rooms; the patrolmen aid the cap- tains in performing the duties and substitute for the captains or lieu- tenants if they are absent. After the fire drills, the fire brigade meets to discuss the fire drill and safety precautions pertinent to the situa- tion. The Women ' s Day Student Council represents all women commuters. The Council ' s activities consist of caring for its study rooms, lounges, and locker rooms and being co-sponsor of the Mid-Winter Formal and the Senior Tea. Spe- cial holiday parties were highlights of the Council ' s social calendar. The Women ' s Dormitory Council is an elected group which represents the students who live in Main Dormitory. Freshman Hall, and Reynolds Hall. This council has weekly meetings to voice student problems and to initiate policies to improve dormitory life. This year, the Council adopted Danuto Faryno, a Polish orphan, who is sent money and letters of encouragement. Both of these councils act to promote a more harmonious relationship between dormitory and day students. Joan Winters and Nancy Herr of the Women ' s Dor- mitory Council.

The Men ' s Day Student Council also provides recreational facilities for commuting men. The Men ' s Dormitory Council shoulders the responsibility for the governing of resident men students in Wayne Hall and the Barracks and accepts as its aim the fostering of pleasant, homelike conditions in these dormitories. r MEN ' S DORMITORY COUNCIL The members of the Men ' s Dormitory Council are: STANDING: Hersh, Norris, Freudenberger, Pancelli, Wolf. SEATED: 6rumbine, Scott, Blessing. The Cabinet of the Student Government Association acts as a steering committee for the Legislative Assembly. It is made up of the presidents of the individual classes, of the Student Activities Association, and of the dormitory councils. The cabinet discusses and votes on the value of bills suggested to make changes in the college regulations. This cabinet is responsible for making certain that only the best of these suggested changes are received by the Legislative Assembly. After the Cabinet has done its screening, the Legislative Assembly discusses the bills and amends or deletes phrases, as the situation demands. This group is made up of ten elected members and a representative from each of the day and dormitory councils. These two organizations, coordinated with the faculty and administration, have been the basis of more harmonious relationships at the college. With continued student support they will remain as such in the future. v John McKernan, President of Legislative Assembly.

FRENCH CLUB The members of the French Club are responsible for the selection, planning, and presentation of its activities. Weekly programs are varied: song fetes , games, reports on current topics of interest, and plays. Whatever the activity, the use of French is emphasized, and informality is the rule of the hour. Dr. Ethel M. Staley is the club adviser, and it is through her influence that the French students have come to appreciate the beauty and the practical values of the language. The officers include : president, Bruce Frederick ; vice-president, Frances Yanule- vich ; and secretary, Margaret Westhead. The Art Club began this year by using difTerent methods of painting. Going back to the style of the old masters, they began with the brushing-out technique which was followed by Seurat ' s pointillism. From pointillism they progressed to the impacto method, an attempt to achieve the third dimension. These three techniques were first applied to abstractions and finally used in the more realistic aspects of landscajjes and portraits. The members of the Poster Club meet every other Thursday and many additional hours each week to fill the needs and demands of the various campus organizations for publicity posters. This year, however, the main project was the making of our permanent civil defense posters. ilRT CLVB POSTER CLUB f? O- i The Criterions under the direction of Irving Jacobson provided cool, danceable music for all of the big dances except the Senior Prom. They were featured at dances sponsored by the ' arsity Club, the Friars, the Junior Class, and the Advisory Board. Added to the large book of original arrangements were numbers by Ronald Dellecker, Irving Jacobson, and Raymond Hoaster. Featured with the band were vocalist John Hall ; James Reed, trumpet ; John Schwarz, tenor sax ; Jack Parkhurst, alto sax ; and Joseph Kernaghan, trombone. Robert Honionay blew lead trumpet with the backing of James Reed and Joseph Buglio. Filling out the sax section were Ronald Dellecker, Karl Schwarz, and Richard Brendlinger. The rhythm section was comprised of Irving Jacobson, W illiam Traxler, and Fred Whitman. THE CftlTERIOKS THE MAHCHING BAND Though the schedule was shortened this year because of rain and the large number of away games, the band remained in the undefeated ranks. In fact, it wasn ' t even scored upon. Again the band treated the fans to a dazzling display of color and precision drilling. New formations included a bell, a grand piano, and a bugle. The music was always appropriate to these formations. Ronald Dellecker ' s Cherokee, and Mr. Carson ' s Bugle Call Rag made the fans bounce in their seats. Recently added to this list of unique arrange- ments was Ja-Da by Mr. Richard Koon and Mr. Paul Carson. Featured this year were baritone John Hall, who sang The Bells of St. Mary ' s, and James Reed, who did honors to the trumpet solo in Bugle Call Rag. The lead trumpets were all featured in Ja-Da.

SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA The Symphony Orchestra, directed by Mr. Powell Middleton, had the honor of participating in the University of Pennsylvania Cultural Olympics on the ninth of May. As the final event of the festival, the orchestra played for the world premiere of the ballet Plaza by Dr. Bruce Beach. The performance was held in the Academy of Music in Philadelphia. The orchestra also presented its annual concert in March. The symphony chosen for this year ' s concert was the Beethoven First. Mr. Middleton, following a two-fold plan, concentrated both on the mastery of concert material and on the reading of a large volume of orchestral literature. Howard Raymond Penchard is pic- tured below. He is concertmaster of the College Symphony Orchestra and Sinfonietta. The members of the Sinfonietta are a group of musicians selected from the Symphony Orchestra. Under Conductor Gerald Keenan, the group studies and performs music of varied, intricate, and artistic nature. In the field of contemporary music, the Sinfonietta played music including Pastoral for Oboe and Strings by Donald White and Farm Journal by Douglas Moore. Of special interest was the performance of Waltz and March from a suite for children by Dr. Wright of the Music Department. The Sinfonietta presented its annual concert in March and appeared several times at schools in this area. SINFONIETTA MUSIC CLIIB The Music Club always presents a variety of programs of interest to students of all curricula. The members constitute an appreciative audience for persons who do not often have the opportunity to display their musical talents elsewhere. In this way valuable experience is given to those persons who will appear later in public. This year the club sponsored ticket sales and« transportation to various concerts in Philadelphia. Among these events were the Philadelphia Civic Opera Series, the Philadelphia Orchestra Youth Concerts, and the Emma Feldman Series of cultural events. The Music Club donated its complete collection of records to the new record room of the library so that all students will be able to profit from its selection of cultural records. Students interested in opera and symphonic music find much opf ortunity for broadening their musical knowledge and tastes in the Phonograph Club. The students choose most of the music. Some records are played for appreciation only, while other music is studied and analyzed carefully. Each year one opera is selected for study ; this year the opera Louise was selected. Records of special interest or recent release were selected by Mr. Middleton from his large and valuable collection of standard and home recordings. For years, Mr. Middleton has recorded radio programs and other musical events. PHOMGRIPH CLUB LITTLE THEATER William Wolpert, the murderer in Through the Night. Miss Fern Barrer of the English Department who serves as faculty director of the LITTLE THEA- TER group. With Ivan Melada acting as club president, the Little Theater again offered a varied selection of dramatic presentations during the year. The club ' s first play was Through the Night, a murder mystery given as part of the Parents ' Weekend program. William Wolpert, Robert Edwards, Henry Waller, Virgil Marcinkevich, Edwin Snyder, John Frye, and Ann Levis lent their dramatic talents to making the performance a success. Edwards, Keshel, Carr, Magno, Wolpert, Fry, Harris, Marcinkevich, Snyder, Meinhardt, Levis, and Wal- ler rehearse their parts in one of the plays. Keshel, Snyder, Waller, Harris, Marcinkevich, Fry, and Levis re- enact a scene from Through the Night. Second on the agenda for the year was the Greek classic Iphigenia in Tauris, which featured Ehzabeth Senst in the title role. The play, based on Greek mythol- ogy, introduced the lyric lines of Euripides to the West Chester audience. Also on the club ' s program for the year was the annual presentation of the children ' s play given for the Demonstration School audience. Emphasis in this play was placed upon action and setting rather than on dialogue. The play given was Hansel and Gretel. Another traditional work done by the Little Theater players is the Easter play. This year the club presented Everyman. George Bernard Shaw ' s The Dark Lady of the Sonnets was presented by this group to the entire convocation audience. William Wolpert, Ivan Melada, Sally Meinhardt, and Virgil Marcinkevich combined their dramatic talents to make the production a success In addition to the usual group of actors who appear on stage, the club has a staff of technicians — a group that prepares setting, lighting, properties, and make-up.

The officers of the club are: president, Ivan Jilelada; vice- president, William Wolpert ; corresponding secretary, larie Carr ; recording sec- etary, Virgil Marcinkevich : and publicity manager, Sally Meinhardt. We of West Chester are proud of our Little Theater group. ' e feel that under Miss Barrer ' s direction, they have added immeasurably to our social and cultural life. When we see their plays, we see only the finished production, and too often we overlook the fact that the members spend so much time preparing a play. We can only say we are proud of their initiative and stamina. They have certainly helped to make West Chester greater. Elizabeth Senst and John Matthews pictured in a scene from Iphigenia in Tauris.

It has become recognized by educators and the public alike that athletics are a part of general education because they provide situations that are akin to life experiences, and, as such are conducted with the purpose of developing the educational values that grow out of them. Intercollegiate athletics have long been a part of the program at West Chester State Teachers College. The college has one of the finest athletic departments in the country. For years the coaches have fielded championship teams in football, soccer, cross-country, track, basketball, and baseball. Opportunities for participa- tion have also been provided for those students interested in swimming, tennis, golf, and lacrosse. It is with a feeling of pride that we pay tribute in the following pages to those men who have contributed so very much to the college sports ' program.

Earl Hersh broke loose on a sixty-one yard jaunt for six points early in the third period. Costello scored for the cadets from the four to make the score 19 to 6. A confident Rider team became the next victim of Ram football prowess. Karpaitis immediately dampened Rider ' s hopes by interceptmg a pass which culminated in West Chester ' s first score. Neimond ' s twenty yard run boosted the Rams ' score. Rider came back in the second half and challenged the Rams ' lead with two touchdowns. At this point the offensive went into high gear, featuring passes by McAneney, runs by Hersh, and great blocking on the part of Bassett and Reese.

Freshman Dick Wolff and Fred Prender divided four touchdowns while Alex Neimond and Earl Hersh each scored one. Prender made five out of six conversions good. Moravian ' s lone tally came in the fourth quarter on a blocked punt to make the score 41-7. West Chester climaxed an eight game schedule against the Drexel Dragons. Hersh scored both touch- downs. The Rams ' defensive unit, consisting of Pan- celli, Lamey, Weber, lannucci. Wood, Reese, Karpaitis, Eutsler, Rath, Hagan, and Buechele, was magnificent in holding the Drexel Dragons four times inside the five yard line. The game featured crisp blocking and vicious tackling traditional with these two fine teams. West Chester 7 Bloomsburg 16 West Chester 32 Albright 9 An undefeated Bloomsburg team met the Rams at Berwick, Pa. Bloomsburg scored a safety for the in- itial tally. Hersh circled left end for thirty yards and the lone touchdown. Bob Lang, huskie star half-back, scored on a run from the West Chester thirty-five.

C 6 Rider 12 Delaware 47 Lock Haven 6 East Stroudsburg ... 13 Moravian 7 Bloomsburg 16 Drexel West Chester 32 Albright 9 West Chester S.T.C. football team under the capable guidance of Glenn Killinger, completed its regular season with an honorable record of six victories and two defeats. Much credit must be given to everyone connected with the team, since there was considerable rebuilding to be done for a squad that had been riddled by graduation casual- ties. Their victories were attained through spirited team play rather than through individual skill. In the backfield however, there is justification in mentioning the outstanding play of Earl Hersh and Fred Prender. Prender was the leading scorer in the state with eighty-five points, with Hersh close by with seventy-eight. Despite the blemishes on its record, the varsity squad was honored by being elected to oppose Albright College in the Pretzel Bowl in Reading. West Chester won the Bowl Game 32 to 9, with Prender being selected outstanding player of the day. Fred Prender, highest scorer in the state. mm West Chester 4 Alumni 2 A new edition of the West Chester State Teach- ers College soccer team made its debut on Wayne Field this year with a convincing 4-2 victory over a strong alumni combination. The scoring for the Rams was paced by Clarence Grumbine, who notched three goals ; Howard Trox- ell added the other counter. Goals for the Rams of old were scored by Joseph Marsden and Raymond Gozzard. West Chester 5 Panzer Scoring in every period, the Golden Rams out- classed and outscored the inexperienced representa- tives of Panzer College. Howard Troxell scored two goals, while Albert Whalley, Charles Potter, and Tony Puglisi added single counters. The Rams played the flawless soccer that carried them to a national championship last year. Philip Scott and William Engard played brilliant defensive ball throughout the game. West Chester 3 LaSalle The mighty Rams chalked up their third straight victory of 1951 against LaSalle College of Phila- delphia. Although the hooters won by a 3-0 score, they had trouble solving the Explorers ' defensive game. Once again the names Howard Troxell, Tony Puglisi, and Albert Whalley were in the scoring column for the Rams. These boys, together with Francis Williams and Clarence Grumbine, made up a line that was a menace to inter-collegi- ate soccer.

Waters ' team functioned with clock-like precision throughout the entire game. West Chester 3 Pennsylvania Playing host to the University of Pennsylvania ' s team the Ram hooters scored a decisive 3-0 victory. The Rams scored two in the first quarter and were never seriously threatened from that time on. Net- ting the initial goal for West Chester was Charles Potter. Howard Troxell scored two minutes later to double the Rams ' lead. He came through again in the third quarter with the third Rams ' counter. West Chester 2 East Stroudsburg 2 The Rams traveled to East Stroudsburg to meet their inferior but spirited soccer team. The out- come was a 2-2 tie, closing the doors on the Rams ' national title hopes for this year. The Rams fought hard to come from behind a 2-0 deficit. The first Ram goal was scored by Albert Whalley. The final Ram goal was added by Clarence Grumbine. West Chester 9 Delaware Playing on a mud-covered field, the Rams scored a 9-0 victory over Delaware. Tony Puglisi led the parade of goals with three counters, Clarence Grumbine had two, Howard Troxell, Francis Wil- liams, Philip Scott, and Albert Whalley netted one goal each. The game was West Chester ' s all the way as the soccer men scored in every period. Ralph Blessing and William Freudenberger played sparkling defensive ball throughout the entire game. West Chester 11 Elizabethtown The powerful West Chester hooters trounced the Elizabethtown Club 11-0. A drenching rain hin- dered the Rams ' attack in the first quarter. The Watersmen broke the game wide open in the sec- ond quarter, scoring five goals. They continued the onslaught in the third and fourth quarters, scoring four and two goals respectively. Francis Williams, Howard Troxell, and Richard Light contributed two goals each while William Freudenberger, Tony Puglisi, Clarence Grumbine, and Albert Whalley netted counters to win the game for the West Chester team.

Despite the muddy field and strong wind, West Chester led at the end of the first half 5-2 and §tayed on the long end of the score by tallying two more and holding the aggressive Seton Hall squad down to the total of four. Al WTialley, the outside right jjlayer, performed the hat trick by netting two and kicking one penalty. Grumbine, Puglisi, Williams, and Troxell each accounted for one. At the end of each season it becomes necessary to bid farewell to a number of athletes who have played their last game as a member of the West Chester team. This year we are honoring five sen- ior varsity soccer team members. They are Philip Scott, William Engard, Richard Light, Edward Creutzinger, and Albert Whalley. Philip Scott comes to us by the way of Kennett Consolidated where he played four years of varsity soccer. Phil, who is twenty-two years of age, has played three years varsity soccer for West Chester. This six foot blond has played the left fullback position with sensational ability during his stay here. He was one of four West Chester players selected to participate in tryouts for the United States Olympics squad. Phil was co-captain of this year ' s undefeated team. He will be remembered as an able leader and an outstanding player. William Engard, right fullback and co-captain of the 1951 squad, is a graduate of Central High School in Philadelphia. While in high school Bill played two years varsity ball and also was captain in his senior year. This twenty year old red head has played three years of varsity for We st Chester. During these three years he has shown versatility in playing as a lineman, halfback, and finally, fullback. Red was also among those picked for the Olympic tryout team, having played outstanding ball as our right fullback. Annville High School has given us one of the Pictured above is fast moving co- ■ ••• captain William Engard in action T • • during one of the intercollegiate i ' ■ I ' ' V • • • • • • • • games. ir Xiw • • • • ♦ _ This is for those of you who are : ■ ' ' interested in seeing a goalie ' s view of a soccer game. most versatile replacements we have seen on Wayne Field in many years. Richard Light came to West Chester with a soccer background of one year of high school. Dick ' s playing has improved constantly through- out his stay here. This year Dick served as a re- placement on the line as well as the backfield. Much credit must go to Dick and fellows in his position for the outstanding teams we have here. It is these men that push the more experienced to their peak. We have another Philadelphia contrit ution in Edward Creutzinger. Ed attended Frankford High School, playing two years varsity as a goal-tender there. He has played two years varsity for West Chester also as a goal-tender. In Ed ' s college career he has seen many shots come his way and has taken very few out of the net. Ed is another one of those boys that have worked very hard during their West Chester days. Albert Whalley, star player and four year varsity soccer man at West Cliester, was graduated from Northeast High School of f hiladelphia. Playing an outside right position, Al rated All-Scholastic and All-Public honors in his three years of high school varsity soccer.

BilSKETBilLL Elizabethtown 64 West Chester 63 West Chester opened the season with a heart- breaking defeat at the hands of the men from up- state. Mike Facciolli was high scorer with 15 points. La Salle 84 West Chester 55 The team traveled to Philadelphia for its second game to face one of the top ranking teams in the country. Arthur Nazigian led the scoring with 18 points as the Rams went down in defeat. Lebanon Valley 64 West Chester 63 Again the hoopsters dropped a game by a single point. Mike Facciolli tallied 17 points with Arthur Nazigian closely following with 16. Shippensburg 70 West Chester 96 West Chester broke the ice in the fourth game of the season by scoring a decisive victory over the Shippensburg team. Arthur Nazigian scored 30 points as Mike Facciolli tallied 23. Ted Beck goes into the air to score two points for West Chester as an excited throng looks on. Millersville 63 West Chester 57 Unfortunately the Rams lapsed once again into the red column. Facciolli and Nazigian remained consistent scorers with 18 and 13 points respec- tively. Washington College 75 West Chester 72 A mere three points separated the West Chester squad from Washington at the close of the final period. The outstanding feature of the game was Nazigian ' s excellent percentage of shots — eleven out of twenty for a 550 average. Washington College 70 West Chester 84 West Chester bounced back to win over Wash- ington in the next game. Facciolli was high with 23 points. Baltimore University 48 West Chester 54 The third win for the Ram hoopmen showed the points evenly distributed. Nazigian scored 13, Blessing 13, Facciolli 12, Anderson 9, and Voss 7. Drexel Institute 67 West Chester 75 Drexel supplied West Chester with able compe- tition throughout the entire game. It was Only in the last quarter that the Rams were able to secure an 8 point winning margin. Kutztown 58 West Chester 90 West Chester scored a relatively easy victory over the Kutztown courtmen. Ralph Blessing was outstanding with 9 field goals and 3 foul shots for a total of 21 points. East Stroudsburg 59 West Chester 67 Arthur Nazigian displayed his championship form against the mountain men for a total of 27 points. Ralph Blessing stayed in the scoring column with 11 points. Bloomsburg 93 West Chester 76 Arthur Nazigian duplicated his 27 points, Ralph Blessing followed with 16, Harry Anderson tallied 13, and Mike Facciolli 11, but it was not enough to conquer the Bloomsburg team. Delaware 57 West Chester 47 Again West Chester was forced to bow to their arch rivals, Delaware. However, the University boys knew they were in a ball game as xA.rthur Nazigian scored 19 points. P.M.C. 85 West Chester 70 The P.M.C. game brought together two of the top scoring artists in the state, Wentzel of the Cadets and Arthur Nazigian. It was a scoring duel to behold as Wentzel scored 28 points and Nazigian got 27. Moravian 67 West Chester 101 Undoubtedly, this was the game of the year with Arthur Nazigian smashing a number of records with an individual scoring total of 53 points. Millersville 50 West Chester 47 As though luck were against the Ram courtmen, they dropped a game to Millersville losing by three points. Harry Anderson starred with 17 points. Albright 73 West Chester 72 The third defeat by a single point seemed almost enough to break the spirit of a hustling team. In this game Arthur Nazigian broke the school record with a total of 36 points. East Stroudsburg 79 West Chester 94 The Rams ended the season in good form by trouncing East Stroudsburg soundly. Co-captains Arthur Nazigian and Earl Vo s tallied 29 and 18 points respectively. Pictured below are the members of the 1952 Varsity Bas- ketball Team.

J.i BASKGTBiILL The Junior Varsity basketeers came out with a better than five hundred average wi nning seven games and dropping six. Consistent scorers for the team were Simpson and Keenan, both of whom are sophomores and are rated as top notch varsity ma- terial for next year. During the year, the junior varsity provided the opposition for the varsity day in and day out. They therefore played an instrumental part in the varsity successes. The team this year was one of the best in the area as far as material was concerned. Al- though the team lacked height, they more than made up for this deficiency in hustle and spirit. Many of the men who started the season on the junior varsity finished the season as substitutes for the varsity, and some went so far as to make the starting varsity before the season was ended.

Early in October, the team traveled to Washington College and had little trouble in opening its season with a 17-46 victory. Led by Francis Wright, who set a record for the 3.2 mile course, the Rams came within one place of blanking the host team. The tide changed, and in the next meet LaSalle Col- lege registered a 15-50 win over the Ram harriers. Jack Echternach was the first to finish for West Chester. In the first home meet of the season. West Chester outlasted Albright College and won by a score of 16 to 43. Francis Wright and Laverne Russell crossed the finish line together. On the road again, the fourth meet found West Chester meeting St. Joseph ' s on one of the most diffi- cult courses in the East located at Cobb ' s Creek golf course. Once more the local runners were blanked by a 15-50 score. Laverne Russell was the first West Chester runner to finish. The second home meet of the season found the Ram harriers being handed their third defeat by losing to Temple University. Echternach, running one of his last races of the season, placed fifth and was followed by Wright, Brightbill, and Russell. In the season ' s finale, a visiting Howard University team won 28 to 30. Running well in this meet were Wright, Echternach, Brightbill, Dickerson, Spahr, and Kaplan. With the loss of Russell and Dickerson but with the return of Wright, Brightbill, Echternach, Spahr, Kap- lan, Duncan, McGeehan, and Calhoun, the ' 52 season should once again find the West Chester harriers back to contend for intercollegiate honors.

Trezise, West Chester grapplers finished their first undefeated season in fourteen years of intercollegi- ate competition and carried oft the State Teachers College wrestling championship for the year. The Ram matmen opened the season against Marj-land State Teachers and soundly trounced them to the tune of 44-0. The next victim for the Rams was the University of Pennsylvania. The matmen defeated the Quakers by the score of 31 to 5. The wrestlers traveled to Millersville to meet the defending state champions and won a hard fought battle 17 to 15. With this victory over Millers- ville, the Ram matmen gained recognition as one of the strongest wrestling squads in the state. This surprising victory brought the Rams a step closer to the state championship. Drexel Institute of Technolog - was the next op- ponent to fall to the powerful wrestling team, 25 to 3. West Chester next met an outclassed but never outfought East Stroudsburg squad and defeated them 29 to 7. The grapplers met Lock Haven for the conference championship of the state teachers league and the West Chesterites emerged victori- ous 21-10, thus giving the Rams the state title via the undefeated route. }tluhlenberg was helpless against the Rams and was downed 31 to 2. The Rams completed their 1951-1952 schedule against Wilkes College of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania and trounced them 24 to 6 thus giving the matmen their first undefeated season. After the completion of the regxilar season. West Chester went on to cop top honors in the State Teachers College championships with Charles Weber and Charles Cawthern taking first places. Due credit should be given to five wrestlers who finished their regular seasons undefeated. They were William Zimmerman. Charles Cawthern, Robert McXelis, and Clyde Witman. With gradua- tion the wrestlers lose the services of ex-co-captain Earl Hoffman who compiled a record of thirty wins against two loses while here. Coach Trezise was aided in building this great team by five regional high school champions who entered West Chester in September. They were Lee Bohner, who earned seven victories for the varsity team, Robert Miller who is trying to replace Earl Hoffman, Francis Groff who hails from Hav- erford High School, and Charles Cawthern who is from Shamokin High. The tireless efforts of Coach Trezise proved not to be in vain. The two co-captains Charles Weber and Richard Walter worked hard with the wrest- lers to keep them in good physical condition. With the exception of Earl Hoffman, all of the varsity team will be returning next year, and that should be a contributing factor to the rumor that the West Chester wrestlers are to be feared in the intercollegiate circles. Richard Walters and Charles Weber, co-captains of the 1952 wrestling squad. SWIMMINIi West Chester 15 University of Delaware 69 The Ram mermen journeyed to the University of Delaware to open their season with the fighting blue hens. Delaware won the meet 69 to 15. West Chester 39 Lafayette College 45 West Chester played host to the Lafayette squad at the West Chester Y.M.C.A. Chris Ames, the Ram captain, took first in diving, in the SO, and in anchoring the free style relay team. The meet ended with Lafayette emerging victorious 45 to 39. West Chester 29 La Salle College 54 From the very beginning it was apparent that the Explorers had too much for West Chester. First places were earned for the Rams by Ames and Weyant. West Chester 55 Howard University 29 The Valley Forge Hospital pool was the scene of the Howard University-West Catholic swim meet. The Ram medley relay team broke into the victory column while Ames, Russell, Freeman, and Wick contributed firsts. West Chester 57 East Stroudsburg 27 East Stroudsburg provided the ne.xt bit of com- petition for the mermen of West Chester. Conway, Weyant, and Spahr pointed the way by again win- ning the 300 yard medley relay. The Rams took firsts in all events but the 200 yard backstroke. West Chester 44 Drexel Institute 39 The Dragon squad poured into West Chester to give the Rams an opportunity to extend their win streak. Freeman, Russell, Ames, and Wick provided the necessary firsts, and the freestyle relay team of Furlow, Freeman, Russell, and Ames were ex- tended to a new record. West Chester 57 P.M.C. 26 The Rams next played host to the Cadets from P.M.C. Freeman, Russell, Ames, and Weyant pro- vided firsts, and the freestyle team won again. West Chester 50 Swarthmore 34 Swarthmore College ' s swimming team, boasting one of the best records in the area, played host to the West Chester mermen. From the outset it was appa rent that they were too much for the Purple and Gold. Swarthmore emerged victorious as three seniors Laverne Russell, Francis Conway, and Russell Van Camp ended their swimming careers at West Chester. -a V Pictured to the extreme left are senior members of the swimming team: Van damp, Russell, and Conway.

OIHNAmCS This year the Ram Gym team competed against two of the finest gym teams in the area. Under the direction of Coach Robert Reese, the Rams met Temple University and Germantown Y.M.C.A. Al- though West Chester was defeated by both teams, the Rams showed promise of improvemnet in future competition. Outstanding accomplishment for both meets goes to Robert Kinderman for estab- lishing a school record for the rope climb. Co-captain Bruce Frederick performed on the parallel bars and did tumbling while Co-captain Byron Sprock was seen on the horizontal and paral- lel bat-s and on the ropes. Douglas Niemond did tumbling, as Matt Corsello worked on the side horse and horiontal bar. John Koshuta performed on the side horse. In spite of the two defeats sustained this season, Coach Reese is looking forward to the molding of a new and stronger team with such stalwarts as Robert Kinderman, Charles Johnson, Thomas Orr, Thomas Valinoto, and Robert Brightbill returning to form the nucleus of such a team. On the parallel bars, Frederick and Sprock display their championship form. Directly above are coach Reese, Orr, Brightbill, and Johnson watching Valinuto perform on the horse.

TEHIS-1931 The 1951 tennis team turned in a fifty per cent sea- son, recording four victories and four losses in inter- collegiate play. Owing to the absence of Mr. Selwyn Edwards, the late Mr. Qiarles Graham, versatile West Chester coach, took over the direction of the activities of the tennis squad. Playing first position was Roy Dath, who was gradu- ated in 1951. Backing him up in the number two spot was a newcomer, left-handed Victor Cresley. Gary Zweig played as third man, while David Paxton was number four player for the squad. Filling in at the number five spot was Albert Quay, while Francis Pic- cone played in the number six position.

The task of playing doubles for the West Chester team was taken over by Albert Strehle, Wilham Evans, and John Matthews. Richard Light served as varsity manager for the club. Despite the loss of Roy Dath, Albert Strehle, David Paxton, and William Evans who were graduation casu- alties, the prospects for the 1952 tennis team are promising, a better than fifty per cent win column in the spring campaign. G0LF-19il Coach Earle Waters sextet of fairway treaders opened the 1951 golf schedule by playing host to a strong contingent of golfers from the University of Pennsylvania. The team was satisfied with the Rams ' showing because the match was much closer than the final lYz to IJ score showed. After losing to Pennsylvania, Coach Waters ' boys took on a very promising Haverford sextet. Captain Schillinger and Sicoli of West Chester defeated their men, and the final score read West Chester 4J 2 to Haverford ' s 4J . Playing their third match under almost impossible weather conditions, the Golden Rams of West Chester met the Dragons of Drexel at the West Chester Coun- try Club. The final score here was West Chester 9 and Drexel 0. Traveling next to Delaware ' s home course at Newark, the Rams showed as fine a team as they have ever had. Jack Eutsler and Roy Dath played an excellent game which ended with a final score of West Chester 3 and Delaware 6. Moravian College played host to the Rams on the Green Pond course in perfect golf weather. The final score showed the Rams out in front with an 8-1 victorj-. The Rams then played host to a fine LaSalle team. The LaSalle golfers beat the Rams with a final score of 3 4 to 53 . Continuing good weather saw the Golden Rams host to a contingent of golfers from St. Joseph ' s College. Coach Earle W ' aters revamped the Rams ' sextet and gained the second tie of the season. The team log for the ' 51 golf season was two victories, three defeats, and two ties. Waters, Dath and Jack Eustler in pictures to the left practice their winning form. Waters, Dath, mond, Sicoli.

To the casual reader, the statistics of the 1951 la- crosse team at West Chester were not impressive. To the students at the college, the squad made .a special contribution to their sport lives. It was a unique season in that it recorded the first West Chester victory in lacrosse since such a team came into existence at West Chester five years ago. Coach Alvin Davis had a great task before him. First on his program o,f activities was the teaching of the fundamentals and team play of a game which re- quires considerable skill. The major difficulty involved was that the majority of men concerned had had little or no experience at playing lacrosse. Consequently, until this time, West Chester has been unable to field a superior squad. The team has gained considerably in the realm of FIRST ROW: Morgan, Magill, Nazigian, D ' Ancona, Beck, Creut- zinger, Russell, Aliger.

THIRD ROW: Dockey, Suter, Jones , Knighton, Stiles, Sylves- ter, Davis. experience through encounters with such teams as Washington College, Swarthmore College, and the Uni- versity of Baltimore, schoools which may justly be classified with the superior teams of the nation. Lacrosse enthusiasts at West Chester were discussing the 1952 season with extreme optimism, for during its five years of organization, the lacrosse team had never been so fortimate in regard to lettermen returning to the squad. By now the record of their achievements in the 1952 season are history to be recorded in the annals of the Serpen iiN ' E of 1953. Sharing the defensive duties for this year were the stalwarts from last year ' s squad : Charles Beck, Edward Creutzinger, Thomas D ' Ancona, Arthur Xazigian, and Alfred Stashis. Playing at the midfield position were William Magill and Marvin Domsky. Handling the attack for the team were Laverne Russell and Donald Monaco. William Magill and Robert Morgan pictured above left and right are seen preparing for action. Arthur Nazigian to the left, while Laverne Russell is pictured at the right.

Its program provides a wide range of activities. Women may join basketball, volleyball, tennis, archery, and hockey teams. They may also become members of the Rhythmic and Tumbling Clubs or Modern Dance. Pictured below is Lorraine Auwerater, senior health and phys- ical education student who serves as the director of the modern dance organiza- tion on campus. WOHErS RGCREATIONAL ASSOCIATION The Women ' s Recreation Association is an out- standing organization on campus. The promotion of good sportsmanship and leadership in worthwhile physi- cal activities are its main objectives. Any girl on campus, regardless of curriculum or class, is eligible for membership and may choose both spring and winter sports to build physical bodies and skills. This year, for the first time, the annual conference of the Pennsylvania Division of the Athletic Federation of College Women was held at West Chester in October. Miss Carol Keener, senior Health and Physical Edu- cation student, who is president of the local association presided at the conference. Miss Myra Wade of the Physical Education Department acted as faculty ad- visor. Delegates attending the conference were repre- sentatives from all parts of the state. Following a banquet, square dance, and workshop discussions, the group made a tour of Longwood Gar- dens on the duPont estate. Since the group desires to develop interest in carry-over recreational activities they selected Wider Horizons Through Physical Rec- reation as their general theme. O A The officers of the W.R.A. organization are Miller, Aird, Keener, Yocuin, and P. Dean. The highest goal of the Women ' s Recreation Asso- ciatio n is to promote sound and diversified programs of athletics which are centered upon the interests and outcomes of the participants. The W.R.A. is an educational organization which serves the interests and needs of the students of ath- letics during school and college and after graduation. Under the capable direction of women faculty mem- bers of the Health and Physical Education staff, insight into athletic sports and fine entertainment are provided. Miss Myra Wade, adviser to the Women ' s Recreational Association. Serving as W.R.A. managers for the year were, standing: Cressman, Ben- ner. Young, Switzer, Clyde, and Ehne. Sitting are Auwaerter, Caw- ley, Ganges, Herr, and Hampp. VOLLGYBilLL Volleyball is attracting a steadily-expanding number of participants sincerely interested in deriving all the values offered by the sport. The game is satisfying, re- laxing, and frequently exciting. It promotes excellent team spirit and cooperation and aids physical fitness. The rules of the game are not difficult to master. Skill in playing is easily and quickly acquired. Many West Chester students find enjoyment by participating in the extensive intramural volleyball program. SOFTBilLL The West Chester 1951 women ' s softliall team was captained by Phyllis Morrison, a health and physical education student who was graduated in May of 1951. She played second base for the starting team. Seniors Annabelle Wenwrich and Carol Keener played the positions of catcher and pitcher rspectively. They are seen in action elsewhere on this page. The remainder of the team was composed of underclass health and physical education students. Since the college does not sponsor a full intercollegi- ate Softball program, the squad was limited to only a few games last season. They met their traditional rivals, the women of Ursinus College. Ursinus has for years % Carol Keener is pictured in a typi- cal pitching pose as she puts one over the plate for West Chester.

This is a familiar cry that rises from the girls ' hockey field any day during the fall, after class hours. W.R.A. hockey manage r, Carolyn Clyde, did a fine job with both leagues this year despite weather conditions and holiday vacations. After recruiting all enthusiasts from every curricu- lum, all that was necessary was a little initiative and persistence on the part of each player. nC i09 0 This year the All-Star team played Ursinus and Swarthmore ; both games were hard-fought battles. The hockey players at West Chester point with pride to Phyllis Hampp, Carolyn Clyde, and Doris Ganges who through their skilled performances earned, for themselves commendable places on the All-College Hockey Team. Hockey team champions were Mull, Keener. Krug, Hampp, Paige, Clyde, Ganges, Cowperthwaite, Marinacci, Swartzlander, and Entriken. BASKETBALL Among the most actively-participated in sports at West Chester is basketball. Basketball, like most sports at West Chester, started off well this year. Manager Phyllis Hampp reported that over twenty-two teams participated in the W.R.A. double elimination tourna- ment. Two leagues, one health ed. and one academic, strove for the championship of their respective leagues The highlight of the season was three practice games. The court opponents were Immaculata, Swarthmore, and Temple University. The West Chester team was composed of all-star players from the intramural leagues. Coaching this team was Miss Dorothy Yanisch of the Health and Physical Education Department. In previous years West Chester has done well against her opponents, and this year was no exception. Ground work for fine play was laid at the daily tournament games played from January through March. Keener, GrofF, Miller of West Chester perform against the girls ' basketball team from Swarthmore. ilRCHERY The popular co-educational activity of archery is sponsored by the Women ' s Recreational Association. The club members meet every Thursday in the Old Gym. Their aim is to help each member to acquire the skill and accuracy needed to fully enjoy the sport. A participant who shoots six consecutive bulls eyes is awarded an accuracy pin and becomes a member of the Anonymous Bulls Eye Club. Opportunities to shoot, either for practice or pleasure, are provided in addition to the regular club period. M Pictured above discussing their shots are Switzer, Ward, and Warren. To the left we see the members of the Archery Club aiming for the bullseye. They are: Perrini, Plass, Switzer, Ward, Warren, and Hill- man. Pictured below are Plass, Switzer, Ward, Perrini, and Hillman. Every year the archers compete in the National Tele- graphic Tournament. In this type of competition each college shoots at home and sends the results to a desig- nated office. The scores are then computed and the winner announced. The archery club is managed by Jane Switzer, the faculty adviser is Miss Myra Wade. TEMIS Miss Muriel Leach who directed the activities of the girls ' tennis team is pictured above. Senior Nancy Herr stops in the middle of her termis activities to pose for the SERPENTINE pho- tographer. With a new season came new faces and new tennis teams and stars. Among the outstanding players were Nancy Herr and PhylHs Hunsburger. Both girls gave a brilHant display of their talents in a match against Immaculata College. Any time of the day, during free hours, you could find members of the team volleying their way to the top of the ladder tournament. Miss Leach coached the team and did a wonderful job regardless of weather condi- tions and all of the beauty treatments the courts have undergone during the past season. Hats off! To coming star, Sally Ginthers. Nancy Herr also rates a word of appreciation for her work as manager. This year she used advanced players to help instruct W.R.A. beginners who wished to learn the techniques of tennis. Since tennis is an individual sport, great care must be taken to treat it as such. The tennis team was directed by Miss Muriel Leach. Pictured are Miss Leach, Ganges, Hampp, Hunsicker, and Keener. Stooping are Herr, Yeager, Ughes, Feeney, and Dean. TUMBLING CUB The members of the Tumbling Club are directed by Mrs. Jean White and managed by Veronica Ehne. This group has demonstrated its intricate and breath-taking feats at several college events. Their gymnastic ability was well received at the Delaware State Convention of Health and Physical Education. Pictured above are the members of the Tumbling Club — BACK ROW: Ehne, Hampp, Auwaerter. FRONT ROW: Hen- dren and Brackner. BHYTHMIC CLIIB This year, the Rhythmic Club under the direction of Lorraine Auwaerter celebrates its third year of exist- ence on the West Chester State Teachers College campus. The members of this club strive for grace and coordination in rhythmic activities. Members of the Rhythmic Club are: Harvey, Dallam, Vulich, Hampp, Auwaerter, and Brown. MOBEO DMCE The IModern Dance Club is devoted to the perfection of rhythmic interpretations. . Lorraine Auwaerter, sen- ior health and physical education student, does most of the choreography for the group. Students from all curricula are members of this club and their meetings are designed to build confidence in the new members and versatility in the old. Pictured below are Lorraine Auwaerter and Rita Frantz demonstrating graceful expression during a practice session of the Modem Dance group. . SPORTS 121 FOOTBALL Instrumental in arousing student interest during the football season were the cheerleaders under the ca- pable direction of Elizabeth Mullen, captain, and Mr. William Benner, faculty moderator. A familiar sight on Wayne Field this year was the newly purchased Ram mascot. Senior members of the cheerleading squad are Barbara Beidler, Anne Hughes Michner, Deborah Pierce, and Elizabeth Mullen. Candidates for membership to the squad are judged by the regular members during a try- out period. The cheerleaders are chosen on the basis of their ability and experience. Pictured below are the cheerleaders who led the Ram supporters in cheers this year. They are Lee, Beidler, Michner, Surplus, Schlaybach, Tiley, Pierce, with Captain Mullen pictured in the foreground. Under the direction of Coaches Bonder, Kilhnger, and Yohe the Rams went on to conchide a successful football season. Without the support and enthusiasm of both students and faculty such a season would have been impossible. Pictured below are a group of stu- dents and parents watching the Rams ' football squad perform on Wayne Field. Rallies in chapel were not an uncommon occurrence during the season. RALLIES Members of the Serpentine staff had choice seats for the season ' s opener. They are seen in the picture below in the team dugout. Pictured to the right is a group of students stocking up on cokes and hot dogs before the game. Another stellar attraction at the football games was the Marching Band who needs no introduction to the West Chester student. Its performance was out- standing throughout the year. Under the direction of Mr. Paul Carson, the members of the Marching Band with Robert Myers as drum major, thrilled spectators with its original arrangements. 123 SHOWTIMG AT Perhaps one of the most worthwhile events on the social calendar is the six annual All-Star programs. This year West Chester was privileged to begin the All-Star series with Miss Cornelia Otis Skinner who entertained with her well-known monologues and pan- tomimes. Pictured is Miss Skinner in her dressing room just before she made her first appearance on stage. The next event of the series presented Miss Yvonne Seefried, Viennese soprano, in her first American tour. Miss Seefried ' s recital of the better known classics was well received. Miss Cornelia Otis Skinner Spanish Ballet The last program of the fall semester was the lively interpretation of Ana Maria ' s Spanish Ballet. The West Chester audience was amused and captivated by the artistry of this group. Above is a picture of Ana Maria and Pepy Montez during their interpretation of a doll dance. The All-Star program also presented Guiseppe Val- dengo, Italian baritone, in a program of lusty songs which were moving and inspiring. Pictured at the far left is Guiseppe Valdengo as he appeared on the West Chester stage. Mr. Guiseppe Valdengo Miss Lois Cope Mr. Fred Pfleiger WEST CHESTER Scheduled for the last two events of the ' 51- 52 All- Star program were Hubert H. Humphreys, Senator from Minnesota, and the National Symphony Orchestra of Washington, D. C, Howard Mitchell conducting. Mr. Mitchell is a brother of Mr. Lloyd Mitchell, pres- ent head of the Music Department at West Chester State Teachers College. Mr. Lloyd Mitchell was the solo pianist with his brother ' s orchestra in their West Chester concert. On this page are pictures taken at Grand Stand Gazette, a television program honoring West Chester on December 13. The West Chester audience gathered in the audi- torium to watch five health education women dance the Charleston and to hear the college choir and a select group from the Criterions. Solos were presented by Lois Cope and Fred Pfleiger. Above are Patricia Pense, Miss Anne Schaub, and Lee Harvey who directed the show activities. To the left are from the top Bricker, Simmons, Krug, Wilhams, Broad, Nine, McClain, Fry, Heubner, and Fredericks. ' • - ismSm m ■ ■ mmt ' m - The annual presentation of the Valkyrie Show given by the Health and Physical Education women was presented on Saturday, March 15. It was en- titled Heavens Above. The show centered about the story of an angel who is accidently locked out of heaven overnight, and who proceeds to express her dissatisfaction with the heavenly regulations. The show pro- ceeded to describe the angel ' s expulsion from heaven and her enrollment into East Wester State Teachers College. After a series of misadventures upon Earth, the angel returns to heaven. Pictured to the right are members of the club who had feature roles in the produc- tion. They are Keener, Brauer, Schlaybach, Hampp, Schmidt, and Israel. Patricia Pence and Betty Lee Harvey worked to- gether on the script. With Miss Anne Shaub serv- ing as faculty adviser, Roberta Schlaybach, Phyllis Hampp, Joanne Brauer, Carol Keener, and Barbara Israel appeared in title roles. Other members of the Valkyrie Club were featured in the various dances and skits presented. SHOW Pictured to the right are from the top Bige- low, Auwaeter, Fry, Ganges, Smith, Snader. On the bottom row are Keener, Clyde, Cleck, Ginther, and Rafter. Pictured above are Albert Whalley, Edward Creutziilger, and Robert Carlin who combined their talents to write the Follies script. This year ' s edition of the Wayne Hall Follies at- tained new heights in the history of the Varsity Club ' s annual presentation. Through the efforts of the production manager Philip Scott, Vice-presi- dent of the club, a near perfect blend of script, music, acting, and effect were attained. The ideas for this year ' s show was formulated in late January in the minds of the script committee which consisted of Albert Whalley, Robert Carlin, Exlward Creutsinger, William Bassett, and Philip Scott. The results of their efforts first came to life with the early casting and rehearsals in February. Such stars as Sal Esposito, Dan Wilson, Harry Gallant and a host of others took the lines and transformed them into a working, living play. The plot is concerned with the misfortunes (self- imposed and otherwise) which come to a freshman student at a certain state teachers college. It is interrupted at various times to present talented men students. Ronald Dellicker, musical director for the Follies last year, once again lent his musical talent and skill to the arrangements of the music for the entire show. WAYIE HilLl FOLLIES We recognized Douglas Niemond in the front of the chorus line. Perhaps you would like to figure out some of the campus cuties seen here. Discussing plans for the show are the members of the cast and some of the directors as pictured here. Ronald Dellicker is seen in a familiar pose at the piano. He was responsible for the musical arrange- ments used in the production of the Follies. SEIIOR Unfortunately, we were unable to hold up the publication of the 1952 Serpentine in order to pho- tograph the seniors at senior weekend. We thought we would give you a brief glimpse of what we imagined senior weekend would be like. Of course, gowns and tuxes were out of the question ; so we chose a few sophisticated seniors, asked them to dress in their very best, and pose for our roving photographer. We na- turally assume the responsibility for the arrangement of the couples ; so if you are unaccustomed to seeing these people paired off together, we ask you to bear with us. We think that you will find it ' s true that although the seniors see one another each day, they will still take time out to chat in the middle of their formal. We thought that picturing Janis Wilkins and Robert Hoy absorbed in conversation would not seem strange to you. Leave it to Tom D ' Ancona to have found a nice quiet corner of the room to engage in conversation for the evening. Here he is seen with the date we ar- ranged for the evening, Jane Walker. 130 mi PROM -mm Before-and-after prom parties seem to be a social must . Perhaps this will remind you of the Saturday night dinner coming up. Anyway with Robert Manna at the piano and Barbara Carty and Andrew Cunning- ham looking on, Shirley Ziff and Leo Ozoroski dance in the background, Doris Ball and John Brennan chat in the corner as Charlie Beck and Jan Paget assume the roles of sophisticated seniors. We have so planned our book that it will be in your hands the day that Senior ' eekend begins. Go along with us in our day-dreaming to see whether some of the incidents and poses we have predicted are not a realitv before the weekend ends. mmu Christmas at West Chester is a season that is filled with heart-warming tradition. As students associate snow with Christmas, so they think of this season of the year as the time for the White Supper, the Carol Service, the lobby sing, and Mrs. King ' s Christmas tree. This year the White Supper, the Carol Service with Lois Cope as honor soloist, the chorouses swelling their voices in song and the lobby sings — all these things crowd into our hearts and minds to fill us with memories of the Christmas season here at West Chester. r Pictured above is a dining room scene of the traditional White Supper. Below are the choruses who lent the beauty of their songs to the Christ- mas Carol Service. Seen in the lobby following the White Supper were Lorraine Auwaerter, Doro- thy Pierce, Elizabeth Mullen, and Deb- orah Pierce who took time out to smile for the photographer. OBSERUIOeS Pictured below are Douglas Rhoades and Carolyn Kehimon before the Christmas tree in the lobby of the Main Dormitory. In keeping with the season Doug is presenting the lady with a Christmas gift. mm NORiiiG Typical of the Tuesday morning Convocations is Mr. Lawrence Ginter leading the audience in song. In the background are Dean Winfield Menhennett, Dr. Charles S. Swope, and Dr. Alexander Antonovich. Tuesday mornings at the college would be incom- plete without the hour from ten to eleven when the faculty and students alike gather together in Philips Memorial Auditorium for the weekly Convocation pro- gram. The usual activities that start off the program are the songs by the entire audience under the direction of Mr. Lawrence Ginter. Following this is the reading of a passage of the Bible by Dr. Charles S. Swope with a moment of silent prayer observed by the audience. Important announcements are usually made after this. A Convocation Committee made up of faculty and students outdid themselves this year in the planning of special programs for the entertainment and instruction of the college audience. Among those programs planned were lectures by world-known authorities in the fields of politics and science. Lighter programs were also planned. With the athletes on stage and the Marching Band to play, the cheerleaders lead the Convocation audience in a pep rally. (JOPflCilTIOSS Mr. Frederick Snyder is photo- graphed as he addresses the Tues- day morning Convocation audience. Pictured above is Dr. Hubert Alyea of Princeton University as he dem- onstrates a chemical reaction during his lecture on Atomic Energy. Beside the performers and speakers invited to the college, the Convocation Committee also drew upon the talents of our own students to present a variety of programs. One of these that we thought particularly worthwhile was the Campus Charitj- Campaign which was conducted by Dr. Alexander Antonovich and which featured campus performers. Convocation programs were also used to honor the athletic teams on campus. At these times the Marching Band thrilled the college audience with their special arrangements. We were able to picture on the opposite page one such program which shows the enthusiastic cheerleaders going through the motions of stirring up school spirit. Arthur Nazigian served as master ' of ceremonies in the Campus Charity Campaign. Here he introduces Susan Mon- tella as Rosemary Clooney to the college audience. Robert Carlin and Albert Whalley to the right watch the telephone operators take calls for the Campus Charity Campaign. unm mn Saturday afternoon — classes are over for the week. Some students hastily pack a suitcase and start for home for the weekend. Those who find it impossible to make the journey home, look forward to the quiet of the Saturday afternoon aiid the thrill of dancing to the music of the college Criterions in the evening What a welcome relief to put aside the cares and worries, the demands of the college teacher, to take that short walk over to Philips Memorial and Recrea- tion Hall to the dim lights and smooth music — to relax for the evening. mm Highlighting the events on the Saturday night social calendar were dances — both formal and semi-formal — sponsored by the Advisor)- Board, the ' arsity Club, and the various classes. We could not mention the word dance without lingering for just a moment or two over those seven-to- eight-o ' clock dances held nightly for the enjoyment of the after-dinner crowd. We managed to take one pic- ture which we thought rather typical of the crowd that gathered. We are sure that you will agree with us that these are the things that will remain longest in your recollections of the dances here at West Chester State. Waiting in one of the social rooms for their Saturday night dance dates are Bridget Arrigale and Joan Nyland discuss- ing plans for the evening. Jacobson at piano. Whitman at drums, and Traxler on bass warm up before a Saturday- night jam session. The photographer could not resist thia picture of the crowd at the regular 7-8 dances held nightly. MID- The Advisory Board sponsored its annual mid- winter formal on March 1. With music by the College Criterions, the dance featured an under- water theme and was called The Magic Porthole. Joan Winters, junior elementary student, was in charge of the decorations and general arrangements for the dance. The members of the decoration committee tried something completely new. The dance was unusual in that the customary murals were missing from the walls. The committee made use of a small pond and a bubble-making machine to carry out the un- derwater theme. Couples attending the dance en- tered Recreation Hall through a porthole specially built for the dance. Under the direction of Mrs. Irene King, faculty adviser, the following girls worked to make the dance a social success. They were Eileen Reilly, Gwenn Fischer, Nancy Herr, Grace Crispin, Marjory Dean, Virginia Tiley, and Doris Ganges. WIITER FOUill W K GftjlDIJilTlOW The culmination of four years of intensive study is rewarded by graduation. Students of the four curricula join together in the traditional graduation ceremony. Upon attainment of one hundred and twenty-eight semester hours of credit, gradu- ates are awarded the long awaited Bachelor of Science degree. Parents and faculty members join the graduate seniors to make this ceremony memorable and inspira- tional. Garbed in caps and gowns the students are presented with their diplomas certifying their four years of scholastic achievement at West Chester State Teachers College. The graduates come through the jwrtals of Philips Memorial Auditorium for the last time. From there they move to take their places in the world as the future teachers of America. Their days of being students at their alma mater are a thing of the past. The time has come for them to journey forth to carr - the ' est Chester State Teachers College to greater renown. ii - t - -- ' W W V V«s '  John Guernacinni, president of the Junior Class, and Shirley Swartzlander discuss a program of Junior Class activities in a social room of Main Dormitory. John, a secondary student, was elected to the presidency after a successful term in this office du.ring his sophomore year. The junior year at West Chester is always one of activity. First on the agenda is the Junior Prom with the traditional introduction of the prom queen ' s court and the election of the queen herself. Decorations for this big event are usually extensive. In recent years the Junior Class has co-sponsored the vearbook. Informal dances and faculty-student competition in sports are included in their program. During their junior year, students order their class rings. Pictured below are the committee which took orders for rings and a group of students making their selections. unm Hill mm PROH Perhaps the biggest social event of the year at the college is the Junior Prom with its glittering decora- tions and its array of campus beauties. The prom this year was no exception. Juniors worked together to make their dance an overwhelming success. The Junior Class, with Miss Mary Holland and Mr. Chester McTavish as faculty advisers, sponsored the annual Junior Prom on Saturday, November 17, in the Ehinger Gymnasium. Virginia Brown and George Ratli served as co-chairmen of the dance which centered about a show-boat theme. The name of the dance was Cotton Blossom. Reigning over the activities for the evening was Catherine George, who was elected through a vote of the entire student body to act as queen. Members of her court included Frances Benner, Mary Lou Bollman, Jane Burleigh, .Virginia Byerly, Phyllis Dannenhauer, Nancy Hunsicker. and Edith Stepp. The candidates for Cotton Blossom Queen were in- troduced to the students in a special program presented in Philips Memorial Auditorium. Barbara Brown, Jean Magowan, and Patricia Pence arranged and rehearsed the program. Specialty num- bers for the program were performed by Charles Matz, Mary Klein, John Matthews, Barry Reich, Joseph Hoover, Patricia Pence, and Lee Harvey. Pictured above are the Junior Prom Queen, Catherine George, and her escort for the evening. She was chosen through student vote to reign over the Cotton Blossom. To the right is a group of stu- dents shown at a party held at the 202 Inn immediately following the prom. Pictured are the college Criterions under the direction of Irving Jacobson. On the drums, Whitman; at bass, Traxler; at piano, Jacob- son; on trumpets. Reed, Hominay, J. Buglio; on trombones, Kemaghan, M. Buglio; on saxophone, Schwarz, Parkhurst, Brendlinger, Schwartz. Pictured to the right is a cross section of the Junior Prom crowd dancing to the music of the college dance band, the Criterions. Formals here at the college would be incomplete without the familiar receiving line made up of students and faculty members. I4S FROSH UUiU Highlighting the Ust of activities for freshmen during the year was the annual big-little sister picnic sponsored by the Women ' s Dormitory ouncil. Pictured to the right are the three freshman women who won prizes at the picnic for the prettiest, the funniest, and the most original costumes. At the lower right are a group of students enjoying their picnic lunch on the grounds of the women ' s athletic field. Above is a scene from the Frosh Capades sponsored by the class to introduce candidates for freshman class officers to the students. Election results found Ned Troutman elected president ; John Collins, vice-presi- dent ; Ronald Hockenberry, secretary ; and Phoebe Ruth, treasurer.
