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.
