CAMPUS LIFE ADVERTISING HE 1949 yearbook was never meant to be a collection of photographs; it was intended to be a carefully selected record of memories -- of your memories -- of Wilkes College. The photo- graphs you will see as you read on were chosen for their meaning to you and not for their per- fection. They are the events of yesterday, fleet- ing moments caught anJ held and given ageless youth. They are moments you have lived -- some serious, some gay -- made available for you to relive whenever you wish. The memories of every aspect of campus life are here collected so you will never forget your past year at Wilkes. The Amnicola staff, in preparing this book, has carefully weighed the importance of each entry to produce a well-balanced publication. The light side of college activities is here as well as the serious. They have both been irhportant. You will find the histories of classmates. pro- fessors, athletics, dramaties, student publica- tions, each of which has had its part in the ac- tivities of the year. The Staff has overlooked nothing that it felt you would desire. What this yearbook will mean to you in future years will be the test of its success. May the contents of this yearbook keep for- ever alive the days of your education at Wilkes, and may it be the source of many pleasant hours of remembering past friendships and associations.

You have learned something of history and literature, and many of you have prepared for a profes- sion or business. Some of the things you have studied will help you to live; others have prepared you to earn a living. If your years in college are to be justified, you must be able to live fully as well as to earn a living. Many a man has been measured a success because of his acquisitions. To live significantly, a man also must contribute something to those who have been associated with him. I am wishing that you may live significantly. If you are to live significantly, you must possess ideals and the strength to adhere to them in the face of discouragement and ridicule. You will inevitably asso- ciate with some who will ridicule the idealist as an impractical dreamer. To live sig- nificantly you may not be impractical even though you must he a dreamer. It is well to remember that every gain of man has resulted from the dream of an individual. The commonplace machine of today was but a fantastic dream of yesterday. The world of tomorrow may be the dream of the present, or it may be the nightmare that we dread. The nature of tomorrow depends upon the ability to change your dream into reality. As you leave us I hope you will take with you a faith in the force of ideals, and the strength to live significantly. MRS. EUGENE S. FARLEY ADMINISTRATION GEORGE F. RALSTON Dean of Men Chase Hall, nerve center of activities at Wilkes, houses the administrative oitices. Here are made the proposals and decisions which affect every student on the campus. Registrar Herbert Morris, working in close conj unction with President F arley, per- forms a multitude of tasks with quiet eHic- iency. He is chief schedule-maker, compiler of statistics on the growth and progress of the college, director of admissions, and co- ordinator of work on the college catalogue. His office is the repository of student grades and records. Dean George Ralston must daily arbi- trate disputes and smooth tempers. Dean MISS BETTY HARKER Dean of Women Ralston, with untiring patience, solves the myriad of personal and professional problems that find their way to his desk. Miss Betty Harker, Dean of Women, endeavors to maintain a spirit of co-operative equality among her numerous petitioners. Dean HarkeHs task, though increasingly complex and diverse, is met with resolution and vigor. Mr. Donald Kersteen struggles with the financial problems and issues which beset every college comptroller. Mr. Kersteen must act with alacrity and sobriety whenever and wherever the occasion demands. DONALD R. KERSTEEN Comptroller HERBERT J . MORRIS Registrar DEPARTMENT CHARLES B. REIF, PH.D. ALFRED W.

MORAN President The 1949 graduating class the second of its kind to receive four-year diplomas without leaving Wyoming Valleyebegan operation early in October with an elec- tion of oHicers. The final ballot count revealed: Thomas J. Moran as President; T homas Gill as Vice-President; Eleanor Krute as Secretary; and Samuel Elias as Treasurer. Immediately after the election of officers, the class began a series of meetings. At the first session, the group decided to invite two members of the facultye Dr. Charles B. Reif and Robert Partridge-to act as class advisors. The problem of the finances for the purposes of social activities and a class gift, was solved when a wrist Robert Anthony Wilkes-Barre, Pa. B. S. in C. and F. Wilkes-Barre, Pa. B. S. in C. and F. THOMAS M. GILL Vice-Prcsidenl watch, donated by a local jeweler, was rattled off at the Christmas Dam'e in the Hotel Sterling. With a portion of the proceeds derived from the project, the Senior Class held a party in the Hotel Red- ington late in December. The fete was successful and marked the Iirst social activity of the group which, ap- propriateb enough, called itself the FortyoNiners'h In January, thirty-four members of the 1949 class, who had completed their courses of study, were the guests of Dr. and Mrs Eugene S. Farley at a dinner in the college cafeteria. Since only one commencement ceremony occurs during the school year, the thirty-four January graduates received their diplomas with the re- mainder 0f the class in June. William F. Arthur Plymouth, Pa. B. S. in C. and F. Philip Baron Plymouth, Pa. B. A. 49 j; ELEANOR E. KRUTE Secretary The president called several meetings in February for the purpose of planning the Senior Dinner-Dance and to decide on the gift which was to be presented to the school. The Class of 1949 presented to Wilkes College a plaque in memory of Prof. Paul POPh9 Cies, instructor in Music and a friend to all of his students, who died in J anuary, 1948. The plaque will be hung in Gies Hall on South Franklin Street. Finding it necessary to obtain additional funds to carry on the business of the Senior Class, the group voted to assess each member for the purpose of raising money to meet financial obligations. On June eleventh the climax of the Senior Class social season, the Second Annual Senior Dinner-Dance, Melvin Barry Wyoming, Pa. B. S. in C. and F. N icholas M. Benson Wilkes-Barre, Pa. A. B. in Mathematics SENIORS SAMUEL ELIAS Treasurer convened in the Hotel Sterling. Some four hundred graduates and guests attended the affair. Congressman Daniel J.

Students danced from nine to one to the music of Joe Bednareck and his orchestra. Erskine Butterfield, nationally famous piano artist, and Dick Brown, singing star of the A.B.C. Networks Stop the Music program made a surprise appearance and virtually stopped the show. The remainder of the entertainment menu consisted of student talent.

SOPHOMORES 1949 Unfortunately, the Sophomore Class failed in its attempts to produce any major campus activity this year. Therefore, we shall present the record of the Second Year Class by pointing out the individual prominence of some of its members. The class officers include: Charles Knapp, last year President of the Freshman Class, President; Henry Heineman, a football Letter- man, and Chief Barber on the Freshman Tribunal, Vice-president; Norma Jean Persiani, who is active in the Cue 'n Curtain, Secre- tary; Marilyn Broadt, who had the role of Patricia Stanley in The Charles Knapp Male Animal, Treasurer. Henry Heineman left school early in Feb- P'eSidem ruary and President Charles Knapp appointed Arthur Bloom to fill the. post of Vice-president. One of the Sophomores who appeared in The Male Animal, a Cue in Curtain production, was Janet Gearhart who portrayed the role of Ellen. Janetis last appearance was made in Antigone in the role of Ismene. Since then her time has been devoted to backstage work in the costume and make-up department. Another Sophomore, Joan Walsh, received the role of Myrtle Keller. The Male Animal was Joan,s first major production at Wilkes College. Last year Joan was seen in the title role of M uley, a one act production. Gwenn Clifford provided a highlight in the Sophomore Class History when artist Al Capp selected her as the queen of the Amni- cola beauty contest. May Way and Beverly Brown were two of the four other candidates to win recognition. Norbert Olshefski left his post as Sophomore representative on the Student Council to take up a Public Relations position in the United States Army. A Sophomore re-elcction was held on Monday, March twenty- Arthur Bloom first, because of an inconsistency in the first Student Council election. Vice-President Tom Robbins, the only nominee, lost to Alex Molash, the write-in candidate. Norma Jean Persiani Marilyn Broadt i Secretary Treasurer twawh may 2:?

X 93$ ww FRESHMEN 1949 The Freshman Class initiated activities on September eighth of last year, when F reshman Week began. The orientation program was elaborate and thorough. The Freshmen heard lectures on the college,s philosophy of education, the methods employed by the faculty and administration in academic training, and, of course, the iitradition7, of hazing. The first-yearmen endured aptitude, in- terest, foreign language, and English placement tests. The week of hectic activity terminated in the Annual F reshman Luncheon at the Hotel Sterling. President Eugene S. Farley, Dean George Ralston, and Registrar Herbert J . Morris were among the speakers. Edward Bolinski President The weekly trials of disrespectfuP, Freshmen by the Tribunal lightened somewhat the somber air of ivy walls and stern-visaged professors Sentences depended upon the gravity of the crime? Upperclassmen enjoyed Cafeteria music during lunch hour, free - - - shoeshines, and the pleasant strains of Christmas Carols 1n the crisp September air. The miscreants also provided colorful entertainment at the football games and rallies. The Freshmen held elections for the Student Council early in October. After a heated campaign, which featured elaborate posters proclaiming each candidate 5 special merits, Ba1bara Hartly, Dollie I'rable, Shadrack Jones III, and Ed Tyburski won seats on the Council. The election of class oliicers, which took place in the middle of October, was also a hotly contested event. The final results revealed the election of the following F reshmen: Ed Bolinski, President; Chester Maleshewsky, Vice-president; Elaine Turner, Secretary; Marysh Mieszkowski, Treasurer. The class, which numbered 268 in September, expanded with the addition of 52 new F reshmen in February, 1949.

Spengler President STUDENT The Student Council convened last fall after a revision in Wilkest policy had been made concerning financial budgeting. Confusion reigned for a time. Criticism of the Council appeared. Hohwever, many of the critics were unqualified to discuss administrative functions. Also many complaints origi- nated from individuals who had not participated in the election of the Council members. Many students became aware of their responsibilities as representatives of the students of Wilkes. Following the elections held at the end of the fall semester to fill several vacancies, the Council made rapid progress. Meetings were better attended, long needed constitutional reforms were made, and the Council began to function as an active unit. In an effort to avoid confusion, the Council revised the electoral clause of the constitution. Instead of conducting the elections in the fall, the student body chose representatives in the spring. Here again, cooperation and spirit during the elections were lacking. Following the tradition set up by previous councils the 1948-49 group took the responsibility of arranging and presenting the Cinderella Ball. After many weeks of planning, the affair was held on May twentieth. The dance received unanimous acclaim as a success and a tribute to the initiative of the Student Council of Wilkes. tbeutedt Elvira Thomsen, Barbara Hartley, Dollie Frahle, Arthur Spengler tStundingt Dean Ralston, Shadrack Jones, John Klansek, Kieth Rasmussen, Walter Haczewski, Paul Richards, Donald Vernall, Edward Tyburski, John Feeney, Norman Cross.

Amnicola, in the books fourth year of publication, performed an almost her- culean task. As a result of a serious reduction in person- nel in the editorial and business staffs, the editors faced the unpleasant situation of almost continuous campus activity coupled with a dearth of adequate coverage. The staff was confronted with many difficulties in meeting the early deadline set by Editor, Don Ball. The I.R.C. Convention did not meet until the second week of April. The Cinderella Ball, although it was not held until May twentieth, only 16 days before publication, is fully represented within these pages. Charles Volpe, William Apfelbaum, John Zimski. Ned McGhee. seated. John Chwalek. Donald M. Rau Editor-in-Chief Added to our already numerous diHiculties was the hightened tempo of campus life and the abundance of social functions and dances. Wilkes stepped into stride as a recognized four-year institution and developed a rash of class and club dances, hikes, conferences, field trips, and intra-mural sports. Special recognition must be awarded to the photogra- phy staff for its heroic efforts in catching the essence and spirit of the sundry campus activities and to Dr. Arthur N. Kruger who has given unselfishly of his time and efforts to make this book a success. Amnicola, continuing its expansion in spirit with the growth of the college, presents itself as the largest and most comprehensive yearbook published to date by the students of Wilkes. Frank W.

The WILKES BEACON made important strides in carrying out its expansion policy. Under the astute leadership of Russ Williams, editor-in-vhief, the paper has pro- gressed rapidly. Art Rice and Tom Robbins, associate editors, have lent their guidance to the editorial staff. Cooperating in the drive for greater news coverage, the staff integrated and consolidated the widely diversified news reports received throughout the year. In addition to his other duties, Tom Robbins also writes the STUDENT GOVERN- MENT column. Sports editor Garfield Davis produces the popular columns DAVIS PREDICTS and SPORT SHOTS. The business staff is under the management of Eleanor Krute. At the beginning of the football season, the BEACON sponsored an intensive cam- paign to encourage attendance at Wilkes College football games. Earl Jobes, working, in conjunction with the BEACON, fostered a highly successful idea of forming a Colonels Caravan to accompany the team in its out-of-town games. An outstanding example of the success achieved may be demonstrated by noting the attendance at the Bloomsburg game when over 7000 enthusiastic fans cheered their respective teams.

ALUMNI MAGAZINE The first issue of the Wilkes Alumnus was published during the summer of 194-8. Since that time over 6,000 copies of the publication have been sent to alumni, colleges, and libraries, from Wilkes-Barre t0 the West Indies. The twelve page magazine is published quarterly. Alumni secretary, Reese E. Pelton, serves as editor and is assisted by a staff of three people. Among the magazinek features is a column on current campus events, a section devoted to general alumni and class news, a column covering, marriages and births, and a sports section. In addition, feature articles of interest to alumni are published. Appropriate photographs are not only included in the magazine but also compose the attractive cover. The purpose of the magazine is the same as that of the organ- ization--0t0 stimulate and vitalize interest in the welfare of Wilkes College, as well as to foster and maintain good fellowship among its graduates and friends?

MANUSCRIPT The Manuscript is the all-student literary magazine of Wilkes College. Two issues are published each year, recognizing pub- licly the best work of student contributors. Shortly after the publication of the fall issue, Leonard Shetline resigned as editor to devote full time to student teaching, but he remained with the staff in an advisory capacity. David Jones was elected as editor-in-chief for the spring semester, and his work has been instrumental in producing an outstanding sprinltjr issue. The selection of material for the Manuscript is done by a student staff with faculty advisement. This staff judges the merit of each contribution and determines which of those submitted will be included in the next presentation. An impressive mailing list is an indication of the wide distribution that our campus magazine enjoys. Approximately one hundred and fifty copies are sent after each publication to the libraries of colleges throughout the country. Dr. Mary E.

THETA DELTA RHO THETA DELTA RHO Since its founding in 1934, Theta Della Rho has been known also as Beta Gamma Chi, and Women of Wilkes. The new name was adopted this year. The administrative officers began this year,s social activities with a series of teas which were presented monthly from October through May. The Christmas Bulfet Party, held in May, convinced most observers that Theta Delta Rho was destined to become one of the most active organizations on Wilkes, campus. The sorority extended its influence beyond the college when the members designed, produced, and delivered Christmas toys to the Children,s Wards of the hospitals in the valley. After a complete reorganization last spring, the newly elected emcers include: Evelyn Penaligon. President; Naomi Hons, Vice-President; Marilyn Broadt, Secretary; Mary Porter, Treasurer. The members decided to hold monthly business meetings, followed by a social hour, in addition to the parties and dances that they planned for the remainder of the term. Theta Delta Rho acted as official hostess at the Theater Conference sponsored by the Cue ln Curtain in February. The formal reception, attended by all of the delegates, was superbly handled by the sorority. OFFICERS: tseatedt Miss Betty Harker, faculty advisor, Evelyn Penaligon, pres.

As the culmination of a highly successful year, Theta Delta Rho presented the Senior Dinner on May eighteenth. Again, interest shown in the dinner proved that Theta Delta Rho had highlighted Wilkcs, campus with many outstanding activities during the year.

LETTERMEN Since its inception in November, 1946, the Wilkes College Lettermenis Club, a service organization in which membership is established by earning a varsity letter, has greatly expanded in both size and influence. At present, the club boasts a membership of over seventy men. Student response to the various social activities sponsored by the Lettermen has been highly gratifying to the athletes, and each success inspired another one. The Cluhis social activity calendar for the current season was red-marked December 1948, with the presentation of the annual Christmas Formal held at the Item Temple Country Club. At this affair, the Lettermen invited their coach, George Ralston, and the president, Dr. Eugene Farley, to head the receiving line. Early in the following year, the Club again presented one of their famous annuals, this time the April Showers Ball, once more choosing Item Temple for the setting.

The general aim of the International Relations Club as stated in its Constitu- tion, his to aid in the promotion of understanding among nations toward the purpose of securing world peace? The policies of the club are: ttto educate and arouse interest among students in international affairs by free criticism and discussion? In carrying out its aim and policies, the Wilkes College I.R.C. has engaged in numerous activities. Early last semester a Wilkes College delegation attended the Middle Atlantic Conference of I.R.C. Clubs at Penn State College. There, they discussed: Friendly Relations Between the United States and the Soviet Union. On our own campus the I.R.C. has sponsored a number of interesting panel dis- cussions, as well as outstanding speakers. E.

Collegiate Delegates STATE CONFERENCE The crowning achievement of 1the Wilkes College I.R.C. was the Pennsylvania Stale Conference held here in April. This state confer- ence was the first of its kind to convenC, and Wilkes College was given the honor of acting as host. Delegates from forty colleges in Pennsylvania attended the meeting. The topic discussed was: What Can I.R.C. Clubs Do to Help Dramatize U.N.E.S.C.O. Aims and Principals? highU Wilbert Pearson UeIU Fanasi Megako U.N.E.S.C.O.

Under the guidance of its faculty adviser, Miss Martha Silseth, and its president, Lois DeGraw, the club sponsored a variety of programs that were recognized for their entertainment and educational value. One of the most successful presentations of the year was the Pan American day festivities which had Mr. Snooks 0f the Pan American Air Ways as the princi- pal speaker. Another notable date on the Spanish Club calendar was Saturday, May 2lst when the club held a tea7 and afterwards heard an address by Con- gressman Daniel Flood, who dit ussed the details of his trip to Cuba. The club also entertained with weekly noon-hour teas in the Baptist Church house. The group closed their year with an outing at Rieket-ts Glen. The officers of the club are: President, Lois DeGraw; Vice-president, Lorna Coughlin; Secretary, Romayne Gromelski; Treasurer, Joseph Klutt'hko.

Profminent in the busy calendar of Spanish Club activities was the Pan American Tea. Movies, depicting life and customs of our southern neighbors, highlighted the event. Dr. and Mrs. Bastress, who have travelled extensively in South America, presented an evening of slides in the middle of May. The Doctor showed scenes from Chile, Peru, and Bolivia, and delivered a lecture on the material being shown. Miss Mildred Gittens Manager Two of those hectic periods BOOK STORE Before the beginning of each semester, the College book store is the focal point of campus activity. Long lines of students can be observed struggling upward from its basement location, each one sagging under the weight of a huge pile of newly-purchased books and supplies. The interior of the book store during this hec-lic period remains amazingly controlled; it is the miracle of the campus that Miss Mildred Cittens and her assistant, Mr. Eugene Bradley, are capable of handling the tremendous amount of pre-semester business without shouting for help. After the semester is well under way, the members of the staff breathe a tired sigh and settle hack to normal routine. Students drop in from time to time to purchase new books, to replenish supplies, or to see if something new is being offered. Through the year the staff labors unceasingly with the in- evitable records and preparations for the next student invasion. LIBRARY The library offers further proof of the rapid expansion of Wilkes College facilities. During the past year, the third floor of Kirby Hall was converted into extra reading rooms and equipped with shelves on which to place addi- tional volumes. By July, 1949, the library staff, headed by Mr. Myers, expects to meet rigid accrediting requirements. Approximately six thousand books were added to the shelves during the past two semesters, bringing the total number on hand close to the required twenty thousand volumes. Seating capacities have ex- panded also, keeping pace with other enlargements. Today the library is able to provide seating accommodations for one hundred and fifty students. The hard work of a well-trained staff has enabled Wilkes, library to meet the demands of a large student body. Mr. Myers, and his regular staff of six members plus a parl-time staff of fifteen student assistants, can point with pride to a smooth-fum'tioning, efhcient department. itOutside Readingii Mr. Joseph Myers Librarian Library Staff with student assistants Mr. Chwalek and Mr. Symonolowicz Courthouse inspection. SOCIOLOGY CLUB Organizing as a new club in September 1948, the sociology students of Wilkes launched an organization which in less than a year has become fully recognized as one of the most dynamic groups on the campus. The more than thirty active members chose William Lavelle as club presi- dent, Marianna Tomassetti as vice-president, Agnes Novak as treasurer, and Ann Pavlik as secretary. The officers began activities at once with a panel discussion on Marriage and the family. The panel consisted of the Reverend Edgar Singer and the Messrs. Symonolewicz, Chwalek, and McGowan. Late in the Season Mr. Symonolewicz, cluh adviser, presented a discussion on Our Changing Morals. A dance sponsored by the club at Hotel Redington, was greeted enthusiastically by the student body. The spring witnessed the appearance of a seminar on Possibilities in the Field of Social Work. Mr. Chwalek led the discussion.

PSYCHOLOGY CLUB President Joseph H. Kanner, assisted by vice-president Donald Wolfe, secre- tary Eleanor Vispi and treasurer John Kelly, have inaugurated an intirely new series of activities for the reorganized Psychology Club. Though a relatively small club possessing some thirty active members, the organization has not been lax in planning activities. The students have carried on a series of discussions pertaining to the varied fields of psychology. Indus- trial psychology and personnel work have been especially featured in these discussions. Guidance, clinical psychology and interviewing have also received attention. Believing that only through practical experience can practical results be obtained, special attention has been afforded psychological pro- cedure, psychotherapy and diagnostic techniques. Tentative plans for field trips to mental institutions have been formulated. Some Of the club members are now working at the Wilkes College Veterans7 Guidance Center. Miss Kathryn Dominguez, the club advisor, has expressed satisfaction with the progress made this year and is optimistic about the growth of the club in the future.

The club conducted field trips to Stegmaierhs Brewery and to Glen Alden Coal Company. Both of their excursions were informative as well as entertaining. Speakers during the year included Mr. Peter Pointak, Dr. Marvin Williams and Attorney Nelson Bryan. The discussions aroused widespread comment and interest. The cluhhs agenda included many recreational and social aHairs, the most successfully executed and well attended was the clam-hake held at the close of the spring semester. Desiring a constitutional reform the members appointed a com- mittee consisting of the Messrs. Konchuba, Capen, Hodgson, Mohen and Barber. The club officers: Carl Gibson, president; Robert Capen, vice- president; Ceorge Shinaly, treasurer and John Klanseck, secretary, working in conjuction with the economic council, formulated a social and business calendar subject to the members, acceptance.

Thereafter they presented programs before numerous clubs and high schools in the valley, including Plymouth, Forty Fort, Coughlin, and Kingston High Schools; the Lions Club, Kiwanis, YE Men, and University Clubs all of which accorded the Wilkesmen an enthusiastic reception.

The conference was called to seek answers as to how College Theater could re-awakcn interest in the theater in the respective colleges, and to set up an organization which would serve as a medium for the exchange of ideas and which would aid member units in various ways. Seventeen colleges sent representatives as did most of the larger high schools in the valley and The Little Theater. The conference was addressed by several notables of the New York theatrical world who stressed that theater was in need of decentral- ization.

BAND Starting from scratch in 1946, the Wilkes College Band has grown into a well organized unit of college musicians. During the year the band, under the direction of Reese E. Pelton, was present at all grid- iron events, participated in parades, and presented two concerts. Forty musicians comprise this years organization. During the fall Sousa marches were heard floating across campus; in spring it was the Introduction to the Third Act of Lohengrin and Romhergk Student Prince. Despite difficulties in securing rehearsal space and time the musi- cians turned in a creditable performance. Highlight of the football season was the pageant ttDethroning of King? presented with the cheerleaders at the traditional Kings-Wilkes football game. In March, three musicians, Carl Strye, trumpet; Donald Follmer, clarinet; and Vester Vercoe, Hute, were selected to play at the Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Band Festival at Indiana State Teachers College. The three day festival was directed by Morton Could, noted conductor-arranger. CHEERLEADERS No one can fail to recognize the contribution our cheer- leaders made to the success of Wilkes College 1948 football campaign. They made no sensational long runs, no breath- taking passesQXheir contribution wasntt in that line. But they succeeded in organizing support for the boys who took the field. In front of the stands at every game and in any kind of weather, they worked hard coordinating and directing the cheers of the Wilkes supporters. At pep rallies too, the cheerleaders were hard at work. The rehcarsed cheers, introduced members of the team and coaching staff to the student body, and succeeded in promoting student support that carried over to the spirit of the game.

FOOTBALL Henry Supinski, Samuel Elias, Co-Captains BLOOMSBURG 25 - WILKES 0 Wilkes opened its 1948 football season at Berwick when it played the team from Bloomsburg State Teachers College. After a game which was harder fought than the score might indicate, the undefeated Teacher champions vanquished a hard-fighting, but green, Wilkes College 25 to 0. It was a case of a heavier, more experienced Bloomsburg team and a Wilkes team which before the end of the season would lead many observers thinking that if the colleges had clashed at the end of the season instead of the beginning, the results might have been different. Wilkes many times fumbled at crucial moments, and the Teachers took advantage of every opportunity. The astute running of Witch- aboo Lang was the deciding factor in favor of victory for Blooms- burg. George Lewis Henry Supinski Walter Hendershot Jack Feeney ST. FRANCIS 31 - WILKES 0 The Colonels next game was against the St. F rancis College team from Loretta, Pennsylvania. This game was played at Myers field, and Wilkes was again defeated. This time the score read 31 t0 0. In this game nine Wilkes fumbles were the main cause for the defeat. This was one time where the winning team looked worse than the losing one. St. Francis was held to a net gain of 25 yards on the ground, and all of their scores came on recovery of Wilkes fumbles and passes which eluded the mem- bers of the Wilkes backfield. This game marked the low point in the Wilkes team,s fortunes. Lco Castl: John DeRemer Albert Morse Paul Thomas Robert Waters ttWaters makes an end run? WILKES 14 - HARTWICK 6 At Oneonla, New York, a vastly improved Wilkes eleven bounced back and beat a favored Hartwick eleven, 14 to 6. From the very first play on which Leo Castle ran around the right end of Hartwick and, behind excellent blocking, sped 79 yards for the first Wilkes touch- down, to late in the 3rd quarter when Castle went over from the 2 yard line, Hartwick was being rocked and socked by a hard charging Wilkes line. Standing out in this game was the running and kicking of Leo Castle, the extra point place kicking of J ack Feeney, and the blocking of the line led by Captain Sam Elias, Washco and Hender- shot. Only penalties kept the score from being higher. Touchdown! Sitting this one out. WILKES 28 - NATL FARM SCHOOL 13 Wilkes continued its winning ways by rolling over National F arm School 28 to 13. The Farmers were never in the game; Wilkes scored early in the first quarter on a pass from Castle t0 Feeney, and in the second quarter scored again when Pinkowski plunged over from the 3. The Farmers scored in the third quarter after a march of 77 yards, but Wilkes again went over on a 49 yard run by Leo Castle. The fourth and final Wilkes touchdown came when Pinkowski again rammed over from the 4. The end of the game found Wilkes again on the Farmers9 five yard line. Fumble ! Marching along together. Pep rally. WILKES 7 . MANSFIELD 7 Wilkes journeyed to Mansfield to play a very cocky and over-con- fident Mansfield team. The fact that the field was almost a quagmire at the end of the game stopped Wilkes from defeating the Teachers, and they had to be satisfied with a 7 to 7 tie. J ohnny Florkiewicz got into action for the first time, and he ripped the Teachers9 line to ribbons. Her alone did the carrying on the 45 yard march that resulted in the Wilkes touchdown early in the first quarter. Mansfieldk only touchdown came on a long pass play which covered 45 yards. The whole Wilkes team played a magnificent game. Florkiewicz, Paul Thomas in the backfield, and Sammy Elias on the line were among the highlighters 0f the games action. Castlegs and F eeneyts kicking was also excellent. ttWilkes scores.' ttRiding for a fall? WILKES 34 - LYCOMING 7 Wilkes journeyed to Williamsport, and completely smothered a willing, but outclassed Lycoming team 34 to 7. At the end of the first half the score was 21 to 0. The team as a unit was in high gear. Led by Florkiewicz and Supinski in the backfield, and George Lewis and Molash on the line, the Colonels ranged across the field almost at will. Lyeoming didn,t score until the tally was 28 to 0 against them. They achieved their only score on a pass play. The unbalanced final score was the result of too much speed and power against willing but less talented opposition. Wilkes7 band accompanied the team on this trip. ttA huge crowd? ttOut of bounds. WILKES 14 - RIDER 0 The team went to Trenton to play its finest game of the year. Rider College, favored to win by at least four touchdowns, came out on the short end of a 14 to 0 score. The Wilkes team was sparked in this game by Johnny Florkiewicz who was later nicknamed ttthe Giantt, by Trenton papers. Besides ripping the Rider line to shreds, F lork took the second-half kickoff on his goal line and ran 100 yards through the Rider team for the first Wilkest touchdown. The Wilkes team played as a hard-hitting, smooth-functioning unit throughout the entire game. Francis Pinkowski Gerard Washco Norman Cross Chester Knappich Albert Dalton gStopped cold? WILKES 14 - STEUBENVILLE 0 Wilkes came hack to play its first home game since the St. F rancis tilt and defeated a hard fighting Stuhenville team from Ohio 14 to 0. This game was played more or less under wraps since the game with Kings was scheduled for the following week. The Wilkes team again showed the power and smoothness they had revealed in the past five games and overwhelmed the light Stubenville team. The back- field standouts for Wilkes were Bobby Waters, Leo Castle, and Pinkowski. On the line Captain Elias again played his usual excellent game. ttWilkes spirit? Joseph Gallagher John Florkewicz. WM ,1 ttDirty players? WILKES 26 - KINGS O The Kings game was the last game of the year for the W'ilkes team, the most important of the season. The game was played in a driving rain, but neither rain nor mud could stop Wilkes that night from smashing Kings 26 t0 0. At no time in the game did Kings manage to reach W'ilkes territory. The first time the Colonels took the ball they marched from their own 36 to the Kings one-yard line before surrendering. A blocked kick by W'alt Hendershot gave Wilkes the hall on the Kings6 28, ttFallen monarch? hResisting the elements? tTouchdown? and from there Florky, aided by Supinski, scored. The second touchdown came in the second quarter on a 28 yard run by Bobby Waters. The third Wilkes score was the result of a beautiful 38 yard run by Leo Castle, and the final touchdown was scored by Pinky Pinkowski. The whole W'ilkes eleven moved at a clip that bewil- dered the opposition. Only a muddy field that slowed the Wilkes offensive kept Kings from further humilia- tion.

Coach George Ralston, working with this third Wilkes College team, had some 'top-notch material to pit against the opposition in the form of Phil Sekerchak, who collected three hundred and fifty- lwo points for eighteen games; Joe Piorkowski, a freshman, who chalked up one hundred and thirty-nine counters; and Charlie Jackson, a sophomore with one hundred and twenty-eight points. Of the quintet of losses on the Colonelst record only two-against Zlonkevicz, center Piorkowski, forward Hump ball? Kings College-stood out as major defeats. The other three losses were in games with Bloomsburg State Teachers College, University of Scranton, and Mansfield State Teachers College. W'ilkes lost to the University of Scranton by a one-point fifty-two t0 iifty-one count and didlft have a chance to make up for the loss since the schedule called for only one game with the Laekawanna County five. But as for Bloomsburg and Mansfield, the Colonels had a second chance and wiped out the early season defeats by taking decisive wins over both teachers colleges in the return engagement. One of the biggest handicaps with which Coach Ralvton had to contend was the lack of practice space. Next year, if present plans materialize, Wilkes College may have its own gymnasium and with Under the Basket the material due to return, the Colonels should have a big year.

Under the able guidance of Miss Brady, Director of Athletics at the YWCA, basketball also enters the field of womenis intra-mural sports. The aesthetic sense is stimulated by participation in folk dances and by the development of original activities. Swimming, the favorite sport among the fairer sex at Wilkes, is now featured continuously throughout the year at the Y.W.C.A. Comes the iifirst sweet breath of spring,i and the baseball virus spreads with epidemic rapidity. Appearing in slacks and peaked caps, the girls heighten interest in this venerable sport. The lastest addition to the roster of Womenh sports is the revival of a tennis squad. By next spring, the renewal of the competition on the tennis courts should contend with basketball and baseball for honors in womenis athletics. . : WI T f ...l..;..-? 3 .:;2. s 9212' an a: at; 4:2- xszs a e . . v n i : Pletcher at the Plate! Big Splash ComingiUp Lefs Keep the Record Straighf, INTRA-MURAL Straight Down the Middle A well-planned program of intra-mural sports met enthusiastic response from the students of Wilkes College during the past year. The great diversity of events scheduled attracted participation by large numbers of the student body. Each season was accompanied by its own sport. The crisp autumn days at the beginning of school in September brought large numbers out to the football games; the first warm days of spring revived enthusiasm for softball; the bowl- ing league ran through the seasons, independent of weather, offering indoor competition to the bowling enthusiasts of the campus. Intra-mural football games were of the touch-tackle type, requir- ing little in the way of equipment but much in the way of enthusiasm. The games, played 3! Kirby Park, were marked by intense rivalry between the teams and by encouragement from the student spectators. The softball league began to organize in the early days of spring. A Perfect Hit 1 SPORTS Teams recruited promising material from among the student body and waited for the schedule announcing the dates of play. The season officially opened at Kirby Park. From the pitching 0f the first ball to the last houth of the final game, competition between the teams remained at a feverish pitch. The softball teams making up the schedule for the 1949 season were The Whirl-Winds, Beacon, CPA,S, Millionaires, Sad Sacks, Pre-Meds, Draft-Dodgers, Dorm, and the Faculty. The howling league attracted unusual response from the students. Two nights each week were reserved at The Hampton in Wilkes-Barre, for the matches. The teams competing for honors in the league were The Dorm, Wheels, Pre-Law, Engineers, Bookies, Thofs Six, The Terrible Six, Roamers, CPA, Cush-Makers, Tumblers, and the Economic Wizards. The Draft Dodgers Swimming the WHO After many unsuccessful attempts, the swimming team this year succeeded in forming a working and active or- ganization. With Clayton Karambelas and Charles Flack doing much of the organizing, a squad of men was soon assembled. The swimming team, composed of eleven men, rapidly developed under capable coaching into a well-trained, expert group. Hampered from the beginning by lack of f acilities, the newly-formed organization had dimculty in scheduling meets. The directors overcame this obstacle by arrang- ing to use the pools of the Wilkes-Barre YMCA and Myersh High School, and by scheduling meets with Ly- coming, University of Scranton, and Wyoming Semin- ary. In each of the contests, the Wilkesh organization displayed the form and ability that will, in the future, place them as one of the leading teams in the area. Uirst rowt Fluegel, Anderson.

The club suHered only two losses throughout the year. The first defeat was administered by Millersville STC at St. Stephen,s Church House. N ot a single Wilkes7 grap- pler managed to hit the win column, as the Teachers chalked up a victory in every match for a final 32 t0 0 win. The Colonel matsters opened the season against Wyoming Seminary With a 21 to 12 Victory. Superior poundage and extremely agile footwork awarded the Wilkes-Ithaca event to the Visitors from New York. Facing the local YMCA team, Wilkes registered an easy win. This time the final count was 24 to 10 in favor of the Colonels. McMahon and Stephens Cross ttAwaiting the signal The last two events of the seasonehoth against Cor- nell University junior varsity matmene-went in favor of Wilkes. The hrst event established the blue and gold on top by a 17 to 11 count. The next event, a week later, entered the Colonel,s column by a 21 to 10 score. An additional meet with Kings College was scheduled but a cancellation prohibited the clash of the two Wilkes-Barre squads. An intra-mural meet, held before the official opening of the season, was enthusiastically greeted by the student body . Coach Thomas and Assistant Coach Markowitz are certain of the improvement of the team with the con- struction of the proposed Wilkes gymnasium. Almost all of this year s squad will return to the C01- onel mat for the 1950 season. Coach Thomas should have one of the best grappling squads in the smaller college leagues.

BASEBALL A1 Molash On paper, Wilkes College was due for the finest base- ball season in the history of the diamond sport at the Colonel institution. But before the season had progressed to even the half- way mark, the previous year s record of losses had been equalled and it looked very much as though the jinx was going to become a regular member of the squad. Coach George Ralstonhs club got OH to a good start against Wyoming Seminary and took a 4 t0 1 victory, but then proceeded to lose three straight before meeting and defeating Wyoming Seminary again in the second and final clash of the season between the two schools. Walter Hendershot. Wilkes Hurlers Then followed another string of defeats and the 1948 loss record was equalled. The genial mentor of diamond activities searched throughout the season for some reason for the failure of this club to hit the win column, but it came right down to one thingea jinx. On the surface the team looked like a first-rate club. There was experience, hitting power, and fielding abil- ity, but in every game there was always one inning when the. bottom seemed to drop out of the entire Wilkes team, and error specialists and hitless wonders had a field day. It was always during that tcone inning that the opposition scored enough runs to give it a sufficient margin for victory. Strike! . . . A Hit! Donald Blankenhush Capt.

They gather in little groups on the campus, in the cafeteria, or in the lounges. Cries of greeting tell of the meeting of old friends, and the favorite question of the day is iiHow is your stthedule?,, Freshmen, wearing iiheaniesf tread the campus cautiously, fearful of committing a breach of the law that would require their appearance before the dreaded Freshman Tribunal. They know that a summons to the tribunal means, at best, a well-placed paddling by an experienced upper-classman or, for more severe infractions, a week of wearing a prescribed bizarre cos- tume everywhere they go. The Freshman Tribunal Assume the Angle Marilyn Pays the Penalty Buttons and Bows He Walked 0n the Grass Students crowd around bulletin boards, finding the location of scheduled classes. New books rest under arms, and unmarked paper fills out new notebooks. In classes, instructors explain the requirements of the course, give out instructions, and answer questions before beginning the regular work of the semester. Problems concerning schedules and courses come up unexpectedly and require immediate attention. This is the first week of school. IN THE CAFETERIA The cafeteria at Wilkes College is designed to be a non-profit enterprise. Mrs. J. A. Brennan is in charge, being assisted in her work by seven employees. To them must go credit for the eHicient management observed. Intended primarily to meet the needs of boarding students, this modern, spacious building also offers meals at minimum prices to 960 day students. Those who de- sire to bring lunches from home find a welcome ex- tended to them to use the facilities of the cafeteria.

BALI. A L L E R E D m HOMER BONES Homefs creator in a characteristic pose Canterbury Tales iiSing Goddess, the wrath of Achilles . . 3i Homer may come as a surprise to many of the readers, but during the past few months he has become a definite personality on campus QiPricked by the Heeling arrow of fateiL-English 206 and has exerted profound inHuence on many of us. This is especially true of Arthur Bloom and Don Follmer, his creators and guardians. It may he predicted safely that Homer will continue to be a popular personality at Wilkes during the future. Deadline: January twenly-Iirsl APRIL SHOWERS BALL Who will be the Coloners Queen? The Lettermenk Annual April Showers Ball held at the Irem Temple Country Club again demonstrated the versatility and re- sourcefulness of the Lettermen as sponsors of social activities. The highlight of the evening was the crowning 0f the queen, Her Majesty Pinky Wilkes. After due deference had been rendered Her Highness, the dancing resumed. Enthusiasm shown for the Ball this year, while not as prevulant as in previous semesters, certainly encouraged the April Showers Com- mittee to announce the success of the event. Swing Your Partner Arthur Murray's Students Briefing The radio classes of Wilkes College, through cooperation with radio station WILK in Wilkes-Barre, gained practical experience in broadcasting work by engaging in practice broadcasts at the station. The students took advantage of the time alloted to Wilkes Classes by station WHWL in Nanticoke, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings to put into operation instructions and theories learned in classrooms. The Spanish department of Wilkes prepared and broadcasted Saturday morning programs over station WHWL. The Spanish programs met with success, being enthusiastically received by the residents of the valley. One of the highlights of the 1948 Christmas season was the program arranged by the combined foreign language departments. Two broadcasts were made at this time, one a Christmas program and one a New YeaWs Day program, in which all language students of Wilkes College participated.
