The Amnicola 1948 Published by the Student Body of WI LKES COLLEGE Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania FOREWORD This has been a year crammed with old and new events. We have tried in this our third edition to include remembrances of the high-lights of the school year. We hope we have included everything--but we may have skipped a few happenings along the way. At any rate, a glance through this 1948 AMNICOLA will bring back recollec- tions of the day by day happenings of your college year. You will find a candid section, clubs, publications, sports, activities, and classes - we hope you enjoy our manner of presentation and read this AMNICOLA many times in the years to come.

Rau Business Managers I L PROFESSOR PAUL GIES WE DEDICATE To Professor Paul Gies, head of our Music Department from I933 until January l94-8, who through his untiring efforts awakened Wilkes College and Wyoming Valley to a finer appreciation of the best in the musical world. ln the community he was prominent for his work as director of the Bach Festival, Concordia Singing Society, junger Maennerchor Chorus, and the Scranton Singers Guild. On the Campus, Pop was a familiar figure as he hurried to his classes in theory or to the weekly rehearsals of the Choral Club. We have grown from a small junior college to a four-year in- stitution with our eyes turned toward a bright future. Professor Gies watched our struggle through the years. We hope he is still watching us. Scaled Gilbert S McClintock, Chairmang Miss Mary R. Koonsg Mrs. Charles E. Cliftg Miss Annette Evans Mrs Edward H Kent, Frederick J. Weckesser, Vice-Chairman.

Their generous giving and endless devotion have permitted the college to operate successfully even during the period of transition. The college has been greatly gifted in having resourceful men and Women, people of purpose and per- ception, as its planners. We all owe them a great debt of gratitude for their farsightedness in creating a community college that has offered development to countless numbers of young people in this area.

FARLEY President PRESIDENTS MESSAGE Less than three years have passed since we rejoiced that the war was ended and a period of peace and promise commenced. During these three years hopes have changed to doubts, and there is danger that in our disillusionment we shall lose the will to strive for those things that, in all times, have made life worthwhile. ln the face of such circumstances my wish is that you may have the courage and the vision to think straight and to act accordingly. Too many of the problems you face today have arisen from compromise and the acceptance of false values by those who have preceded you. These great problems can only be solved by generations of men and women capable of seeing straight and possessed of conviction that by intelligent and constructive action great ends can be attained. It has been said that progress results from a combination of hope and difhculty. I know that you have hope, and everyone knows that great obstacles confront you. May you always retain your hope, and may you gain strength from your conquest of the obstacles that face you. I am not wishing you either ease or comfort, for they are not the elements that make for accomp- lishment. I am wishing for you the challenge that comes from a job to be done: may you later gain the satisfaction that comes from sharing in the accomplishment of worthy ends. EUGENE S. FA RLEY ,10- In the early days of Wilkes history, Chase Hall and its grounds comprised the Whole campus. ln- side Chase, our President, the Registrar, and the office force were located on the first floor. The upper floors were devoted to classrooms and student lounges. Now that Wilkes has expanded into a four-year college, Chase Hall has become the center of administration. Dr. Farley has his office in multi-windowed Chase 209, and Registrar Morris has taken over our President's former location on the first floor. The finance office has moved to the former Womenls Lounge. Also on the second floor are the offices of Deans Harker and Ralston. The specialization of Chase Hall into an administration building is typi- cal of the growth of Wilkes College. Herbert J. Morris Registrar c 4 George Ralston Dean of Men fn -e A Ka v-.., ' K Betty L.

Plant growth is evidenced by the acquisition of the Shoemaker residence for the use of the language departmentsg the enlarging and modernizing of Conyngharn Annex for the Biology Departmentg the use of the Long Building for various depart- mental lecturesg and the assignment of the Stoddard residence to the Music and Econ- omic Departments.

As a class We are privileged. We have the unique privilege of being the first class to graduate from Wilkes College. We are proud, too. We feel this pride is justified in the prominent interest we have taken in life on the campus and in those of us who have distinguished themselves in college activities. Our president, Doug Mac- Neal, has been busy with committees and the revival of school spirit. Bob Miller is known to all for his work on the three publications: Charles Templeton, who has Hsuppliedn Wilkes students with the tools for study, is president of our Student Council: and Nelson Nelson deserves mention for his work on the Beacon, the yearbook, and in the theater. We think Joe Savitz did a grand job on the Welfare Drive. The girl with the charming smile, Miriam Golightly, contributed her time and talents to the Manuscript, and to Beta Gamma Chi.

Uncle Sam needed us for a while, so we did a little early sorne of the traveling We had intended to do after graduation, and then we came back to our world of books and term papers. Our college days were confused and jumbled. Yes, it's been a little hectic, but it's been fun. We Wish we could start all over again.

E 5 - e 5 E E 1 I ! f I 4 Two Years Before The Math We are the sophomores. It was during our first year that Wilkes underwent its most extensive growing pains and finally became a four-year institution. Men of the class of 1950 formed the core of our undefeated football squad--the first team in the college history. Among our prominent classmates are Albin Auker- lund who is chief electrician ofthe Thespians, and of course, the Big Man on Campus--Marty Blake. This year, as sophomores, our president is Joe Evans, our vice-president is Tom Check, and our secre- tary-treasurer is Jean Ryan. Our sophomore year is full of thoughts of the crowded cafeteria at noon, the struggle with World Lit, those seven A.lVl. Physics classes--and filled also with plans for the two years to come. -33.- , . . . . l alsiwsm. . - 'N - 111 i- 74-sat?

For the first time since the termination of the war, high school graduates, rather than veterans, constituted a large part of the incoming freshman class. We will never forget the dismay and confusion of Freshman Week. The sight of pale female faces was in itself a phenomenon, and the clink of buckets was music to the ears of the upperclassmen. Eventually the newness wore off, and we became an integral part of the school. We elected Jack Feeney, Joe Gallagher, Marita Sheridan, ,Ioan Lawlor, and Don Casey to represent us on the Student Council. ln no time at all our colleagues were known throughout the student body. 3' . .M aw' 'Ely WW?

At our first meeting lVlr. Ralston successfully impressed us with the seriousness and magnitude of our task. Subsequently we elected Charlie Templeton president with Joe Gallagher as vice-president, ,loan Lawlor, secretary, and Paul Thomas, treasurer. We all enjoyed the many social affairs the Council sponsored. We will remember the Winter Carnival at Split Rock Lodge for many years. And, of course, the Cinderella Ball is firmly established as a tradition. ln addition to sponsoring dances and entertainments we appropriated funds for student activities, waged campaigns for school spirit, and on the Whole, tried to the utmost of our ability to give Wilkes College efficient student government.

Eleanor Krute, Editor-in-Chief ,ffrwa Nt'- 'Whuw AMF' ya Consultation with the engraver Frank Anderson and Donald Rau, Co-Business Mgrs. This is our third yearbook. For the past two years, we published our Amnicola under the initials BUJC, for Bucknell University Junior College. After our transformation into a full-fledged college we held a contest to find a name for our yearbook. Nan Richards' entry, Amnicola, was selected by faculty and student judges as the name, for it means, quite appropriately, that which grows or dwells by a river. Although our staff was reduced we were faced with interviewing club representatives, meeting deadlines for copy, covering dances, and social affairs, taking photos, and reading proof sheets. Nevertheless we hope that for our seniors, the first graduating class of Wilkes College, as well as for the under- classmen, Amnicola will provide a source of pleasant memories of Wilkes.

Representatives of local high school publications were invited by the newly-formed Beacon Press Club to attend inspiring lectures and discussions on journalism. ln keeping with our transformation to a four-year college the paper's masthead this year changed to the Wilkes College Beacon. Tom Moran continued as our sports Writerg Robert Nlikulewicz featured in his column ln Passingl' a book review and discussion on college programs. Ted Wolfe tickled us with his Hcampus Highlights comments. Our Letters to the Editor had a big response from students offering favorable comments on affairs which had taken place or airing campus grievances.

BEACON Claire Fischer, Vice-Presidentg Miriam Golightly, President, Naomi Gould, Treasurer WOMEN CDF WILKES Women of Wilkes, formerly the Beta Gamma Chi, is one of the most democratic of campus clubs, for every girl enrolled in the college automatically becomes a member of the organization. This club, founded in 1934, when the college was known as Bucknell University Junior College, encourages friend- ship and unity among the women students. At present our officers are Miriam Cro- lightly, president, Claire Fischer, Vice-presi- dentg Nan Richards, secretaryg and Naomi Gould, treasurer. Each semester we plan a social calendar and committees are appointed for the various social functions, including teas, coke parties, dances, and dinners. This year, the Women of Wilkes also sponsored a dinner for the girls of the first graduating class of Wilkes College. Tea Mrs. Farley lnformal The Lettermen's Club, one of the out- standing organizations at Wilkes, has com- pleted another year of leadership in social activities. Membership in the club is limited to men who have earned a letter for varsity competition in one or more sports. At the second annual athletic banquet Walt I-Iendershot was named the Out- standing Athlete of the Year. Other major awards went to Bob Gorgas as the Out- i LETTERMEN standing Lineman for 1947, and to John Florkiewicz as the Outstanding Backfieldman for l947. President Jack Josephs, Vice-President Paul Thomas, Secretary Joe Savitz, and Treasurer Tom Moran have been tireless in their efforts to make Lettermen-sponsored affairs successful. The Christmas Prom and the popular April Showers Ball with its annual queen were examples of the initiative and ambition of Club members.

We selected Rosemary Zukoski as our President, Leon Gilbert as Vice-President, Janet Rogers as Secretary-Treasurer, and Robert Levine as Librarian. At an Assembly in December we sang a program of Christmas music. During Pop C1ies's illness, Mr. Charles Hender- son capably directed us. Since February, Mr. Donald E. Cobleigh has been our conductor. Our spring activities included a May assembly program and a Pop-Concert which we gave in conjunction with the band on Kirby lawn. CI-IORAL CLUB Donald Cobleigh, Advisor Antigone Wilkes College Thespians began the seas- on with the production of the farce, You Carft Take It With You, which provided light summer entertainment for local audi- ences. , ln the fall there was a distinct change of pace. Antigone, the modern-dress version of a Greek tragedy representing the conflict between cold logic and unthinking passion, had enjoyed considerable success in Paris You Can't Take lt With You DRAMATICS during the German occupation. Wilkes College had the distinction of being the second collegiate group in the United States to stage this play. ln April, the sophisticated comedy, The Philadelphia Story, was presented at lrem Temple. Large groups of students from Sus- quehanna University, Hartwick College, Ly- coming College, and College of Misericordia, attended the performance of the play.

This year, Mr. Symonolewicz, Kovalski, Kopko, Rosolowski, Dr. Mitana Herr 3 Disque and French Club President, Clem Waclawski to the gay rhythm of castinettes we spent a night in old Spain at the Spanish Club's Costume Ball. With Une Nuit a Paris, the Frnch Club took us to France for an evening's frolicg and the German group added to our joyous Noel with a Christmas party. These and many other gala events provided us with a vivid backdrop of foreign life and culture. Guest Speaker wma Weihnachtsfest I U.R. LaSenorita Cenler: Aren't parties fun?

Prominent speakers and group dis- cussions on such pertinent issues as the Palestine Partition and the European Re- covery Program have kept us informed and interested. Second only to our attempt to stimulate student interest in international affairs, we tried to acquaint our members with the proper methods of group discussions and to develop powers of leadership. As active participants in the Inter- collegiate Conference on Government, we were proud to have Wilkes College chosen as the center of the Northeastern Regional Meeting this year. At the annual conference of the Pennsylvania Chapter of the I.C.G. in Philadelphia, our l.R.C. was represented by twenty-five Wilkes students.

Professor Symonolewicz offered us guidance again this year as our faculty advisor. As the year progressed we debated SOCIOLOGY CLUB pro and con on many pertinent topics. We encouraged well-known speakers to lecture to the club on subjects of a sociological nature. Especially interesting was the dis- cussion led by Dr. Robinson of the Kirby l-lealth Center on psychiatric problems of young adults. We often coupled our lecture periods with movies and refreshments, and we undertook to sponser social affairs open to all students from Wilkes. Questionnaire Discussion Burak, Gorka, Orlowski, Burtsavage PRE-MEDICAL SOCIETY The Pre-Medical Society of Wilkes func- tions on the principle to better acquaint the biology student with a broader aspect of the fields of medicine than is possible in the school curriculum. ln keeping with this principle, the Club visited the Cornell Medical College Center in New York City and the Memorial Hospital for Cancer and Allied Diseases. Our future doctors also witnessed delicate surgical operations performed in the l-lahnemann Medical College and Hospital. Qur officers were Edward Burtsavage, presidentg Doris Gorka, vice-presidentg Mild- red Crlowski, secretary, Carl Dudeck, treas- urerg and John Burak, publicity director. Through their efforts the educational tours were made possible and pertinent films on surgery were obtained for the club members. Q Meds and . . . Maids w Testing ln the summer of 1947, we of the psychol- ogy classes organized a club to discuss current psychological questions and become familiar with our chosen field. Qur educational pro- gram includes tours of mental hospitals and psychological clinics, visits to homes for mental defectives, and lectures by prominent local psychologists and psychiatrists. PSYC!-ICDLOGY CLUB This year we viewed the electric shock treatment and sat in on a clinical demonstra- tion at Retreat State Hospital, toured the Veteranys Guidance Center, and visited Laur- elton State Village. We have many plans for the future. Our capable president, Al Stratton, is a familiar figure to psychology majors and others of the student body as well.

Operating for the first time in the local athletic world under their new name, the Colonels started the l947 season determined to retain their undefeated record in collegiate grid competition. But the Gods of the Grid- iron had other ideas and when the dust of the college's second year in the gridiron sport had cleared away, the Blue and Gold George Ralston, Coach FOCJTBALL eleven had amassed a season's record of six wins, one loss, and one tie. This past year's team had plenty of experience in the form of high school and service gridders. Next year the incoming class from local secondary schools promises to bring a fresh How of grid material to the Colonels. Thomas Miller, Asst. Coach Army 13 Wilkes 0 After going through its first season of football undefeated-- after chalking up six wins--Wilkes College grid team had its dreams of continuing its winning streak punctured full of holes in its first contest of the I947 season when a powerful and experienced Army Junior Varsity turned in a I3 to 0 win over the Colonels. Several times during the contest Wilkes threatened to hit scoring paydirt, but the West Pointers tight- ened their defenses and held the local gridders scoreless. I Plunge Co-Captains Washco and Florkiewicz and Coach Ralston Wilkes 13 Pittston Vocational 6 Wilkes grid team bounced back into the win column in the second contest of the season by taking a I3 to 6 victory over a willing but inexperienced Pittston Vocational School eleven. The Colonels jumped to a quick I3 to 0 lead, but the GI gridclers battled their way to the six-point margin after a sparkling aerial attack netted the Pitts- ton eleven its only score of the day.

Wilkes scored almost at will in this tilt and not once during the entire contest did the New York state club threaten to cross the Colonel's goal. Wilkes 34 Keystone 0 Coach George Ralston's Colonel eleven roared into high-gear in the third contest by running up a one- sided 34 to O win over a hopelessly outclassed Keystone College club in a contest that saw the blue and gold aggregation open up its scoring power for the first time. The first-string Wilkes club had an early 20 to 0 lead at the halftime and the second and third-string elevens added their bit to the score in the final two quarters. -30- Players and Plebes Wilkes 12 King's 6 The game between the two Wilkes- Barre Colleges found Wilkes with the toughest battle of the season on its hands inthe form of a stubborn and determined King's College eleven. What many classed as a sure win for the blue and gold team, turned out to be a rough-and-tumble contest that saw Coach George Ralston's squad break a 6-6 tie in the final period after a 45-yard run by Bobby Waters gave Wilkes the margin it needed to cop the contest. I We wuz robbed Student Managers: Scott, Davis, Hughes, Collins Wilkes 6 National Junior College 6 The Wilkes eleven stumbled for the second time in its grid career in its sixth tilt of the year when the blue and gold Colonels, playing ankle-deep in mud on a rain-swept field, watched their early six-point lead vanish in the Final minutes of the contest as the Gods of the Gridiron allowed National Junior College to score on a sleeper play and then deny them the winning point as the Ralston aggre- gation registered its only tie of the season. r ii Elias, Center l Wilkes 33 Wilkes 13 Lycoming 12 What was expected to be a tough contest for the Colonels turned out to be another easy victory when Wilkes turned in a 33 to I2 win over Lycoming College eleven in the last night game of the season at Kingston Stadium. Once again it was Wilkes dominating the play throughout most of the contest and scoring almost at will. Late in the contest, Lycoming began to throw passes in a desperate attempt to score upon the blue and gold team and twice in the last period the former Dickinson Seminary eleven managed to cross the Colonel's goal. Wyoming Seminary 7 Wyoming Seminary eleven, which had not been doing too well throughout its season, emerged as one of the toughest opponents on the schedule for the I947 Wilkes club. ln a contest that saw the Ralston charges fight for every inch of territory gained, Wilkes downed Seminary I3 to 7 to end its season with six wins, one loss, and one tie. lts record since entering grid competition in 1946 stands at I2 wins, one loss, and one tie. L: King's Funeral Bottom: Ends Lugg, Casey, Feeney, Hiller, Gallagher, Brookus CHEERLEADERS Fight, Team, Fight! Come on, Kids, let's go! Beat Kings! This war cry, made famous by Captain Jimmy Catnes, will undoubtedly ring through the halls of Wilkes for many years to come. Our cheerleaders have improved their repertoire since they began just two years ago. With our hearts in our throats we watched ,lim and Gene Bradley turn little Jo Giuliani Hupside down. Chip and Fran turned very enviable cartwheels for the same cheer. Those lucky rooters went to all the away games with the band. They have done much to build up the school spirit at Wilkes by organizing cheering sections at all games to impart volume and vitality, basic essentials for a successful squad.

Brass Section BAND Thirty-five Wilkes musicians comprise the college's second military band. Under the direction of Reese Pelton, the band was present at each grid contest to serenade us with everything from Sousa marches to the Dark Town Strutters Ball. The musicians and their music added a great deal of color during pre-game and half-time ceremonies. Many new pieces of equipment were purchased this year. Several navy blue sweat- ers with gold letters were also acquired. A band office was recently established in Shoe- maker I-iall. Advisors of the band for the past season were Mr. Donald Cobleigh and Mr. George Ralston. Director Pelton Woodwind Section Scaled: Berger, McGinley. Standing: Smith, Lewis, Cross, Heineman Wilkes College finished its second year of wrestling competition with one win against three losses. Coach Cromwell Thomas had his potential varsity grapplers going through stiff work-outs early in December. The first meet on the schedule found Wilkes losing to Millersville. The following Week at Wyoming Seminary lack of experience once again helped considerably to pin the matmen from Wilkes for their second defeat. ln the bout with Kingys College, the Colonels really made up for past defeats by beating the Northampton Street Monarchs by an I8 to I5 count. Wilkes closed its mat season by bowing to a more powerful Princeton Junior Varsity. Court Scene Pre-season prospects for one of the Hnest and strongest basketball teams ever to repre- sent the College looked good. But the problem of finding sufficient floor space on which to conduct daily practice sessions was the pro- verbial fly in the ointment that prevented the Colonels' five from registering an even more impressive cage record this past season. -V Q ' 4 AT?

Although handi- caped from the beginning of the season by the lack of sufficient practice and playing space, Coach George Ralston's blue and gold basketball team chalked up seven wins and eight losses during the 1947-48 cage season.

BASEBALL Batter Up -gg- The l948 baseball season at Wilkes College might well be classed as the year the Blue and Gold nine emerged from the Dark Ages of' the Diamond. Besides a flock of the I947 Wilkes College diamond squad, many new players appeared at the drill field in Kirby Park. Under the coaching of George F. Ralston, the l948 edition of the Colonel baseball team gave a good account of itself on the diamond. During the season the team faced on a home and home basis such college and prep school nines as: Wyoming Seminary, Hartwick College, King's College, Keystone College, Rider College, Triple Cities College, and Taylor Business School.

This year, however, our photographer cap- tured the campus sports closest to the girls' hearts. Teas and lawn parties received much publicity and were considered the least strenu- ous sports. Tickets, please Cheerleading was, on the other hand, for our more rugged women, and making the team required a great deal of competitive spirit. During free hours, the majority of women could he heard crying pass, double, in the girls lounge.

The entire College anticipates with a great expectation the clay when the College will have its own gymnasium and playing fields. During the past year our only intramural l. R. C. Team i Playing the Field activity sponsored was softball. During the Summer Semester of l947, the league was highly successful. It consisted of eight teams completing a round-robin schedule culminated by a play-off game between the champions of the league and a selected group of All Stars. The Sad Sacks were league champions, but lost to the All-Star combination in the play-off game. The great amount of pleasure Seventh Inning Scratch -ggg 'P' -' 4- Q' ar I ,A .,..

During the Fall, an intramural touch football schedule was arranged, but because we began late in the F all, extreme cold weather set in before the league was well under way. With the return of a normal college schedule we can look to a more successful season in l948. Sad Sacks 1 A M A K , . . , X... , K. LSL. ,....
