This volume has as its theme the social calendar, and each activity has been placed in the appropriate month. Though its size has been slightly reduced because of the lower enrollment and rising costs, it embodies many new features and improvements, such as the new cover style, layyouts, frontispiece, and the increased number of candid shots. By compiling the outstanding interests and activities, both academic and social, we have tried to preserve as many as possible of the myriad memories of scenes, friends, and fellowships which we have gathered through our years at Wilkes. Because of the uncertainty of the outcome of the Hcold war and the United Nations' upolice action in Korea, many of our number will enter miliy tary service, some for the second time in a decade. During this period of cris- is, truly times that try menis souls, the world trembles as it echoes to the sound of marching feet, bursting bombs, and swift jet planes, while the threat of the quick and decisive blow of an atomic attack is ever present. On the other hand, crisis and uncertainty are not new to the graduates of 1951. The majority of us were born in the midst of the depression and were reared during the years of World War II. Still, the fact that we have come through relatively unscathed is a good indication that we, as individuals and as a nation, can cope successfully with whatever adversity Fate designs, and at the same time, can make the most of every opportunity.

Four E SEPTEMBER NIiss Lois Ann Shaw GCTQBER Five EUGENE SHEDDEN FARLEY PRESHDENT presitilentfls Message To the Class of 19511. . . . a As four years of college draw to an end, we face again the threat of a world war, the third such threat to face the peoples of the world within thirty-five years. If the past four years have opened to you new possibilities for personal devel- opment and have given you a vision of the heights that can be obtained by men of courage and conviction, you will be well equipped to meet the uncertainty that lies before you. This equipment will not consist of sure answers to all of the problems that confront us. It will consist of a flexible and growing mind driven to greater achievement by a dynamic spirit. You will face new uncertainties with the con- viction that you can cope with them because of the resources you have developed within yourselfh Knowledge may aid you, but the ideals that guide you and the aspirations that drive you will lead to ever-developing resources of mind and spirit. Men and women who would contribute to the great problems that confront us must develop a sureness of vision and a serenity of spirit. Sureness of vision and purpose cultivates confidence inthose about us, even as it strengthens the cause for which we stand. In a world of uncertainty men must, therefore, cultivate an inner strength that can never come from without. In order to bring security and certainty in to this world, you must be prepared to faceboth insecurity and uncer- tainty. t It has been said that llgreat ends are never attained by small men? The greatness of the challenge that lies before us demands that we develop within our- selves a largeness of vision, a strength of character, and a willingness to sacrifice for a cause that is greater than ourselves. It is my hope that your four years of college education have led you to the threshold of your mind, so that in the years ahead your insight, your resolution, and your understanding will ever increase. Eugene S. Farley Seven Chase Hall, nerve center of activities at Wilkes Cola lege, houses the administrative offices. Here are made the proposals and decisions which affect every student on the campus. The unselfish and untiring efforts of the men and women of the administration have laid the groundwork for the spirit of the College. Registrar Herbert Morris, working in conjunction with President Farley, performs a multitude of tasks with quiet efficiency. He is chief schedulemaker, compiler of statistics on the growth and progress of the College, dia rector of admissions, and coordinator of work on the Cola lege catalogue. His office is the repository of student grades and records. Inch for inch there isn't a busier place at Wilkes than Dean Ralston's little office on the second floor of Chase Hall. Here, with untiring patience, Dean Ralston solves the myriad of personal and professional problems that , A find their way to his desk. Tempers are calmed and diSw e putes settled in that little office every day. HERBERT 1' MORRIS Registrar It is Dean Betty Harker's job to keep peace among the women, a difficult job anywhere. Aid, advice, and encouragement are Miss Harker's tools. A very impora tant person is our Dean of Women. Her ready smile, her wit, and her understanding have made Dean Harker a very popular and most efficient administrator. The constant whir of adding machines is music to the ear of Mr. Donald Kersteen, the Comptrola ler. It is he who has that thankless job of struga gling with the financial problems of Wilkes Cola lege. Mr. Kersteen's abilv ity to act with alacrity and sobriety whenever and wherever the occaa sion demands has given Wilkes one of the very best comptrollers. This in brief is our ada ministration.

Though you won't hear it around final exam time or shorte 1y thereafter, most Wilkes students will readily admit that we have a wonderful faculty. In and out of the classroom the Wilkes faculty has left little to be desired. The interest of the faculty in extracurricular activities and social affairs has done much to promote the school spirit. A great deal of credit for our fine faculty must go to the various department heads. As the connecting links between the administration and the teache ers, the department heads play a vital role in Wilkes College's everyday life. CHARLES B. REIF, Ph. D. B iology ALFRED W.

There was much'to ac, complish as they came closer to the end of their four'year career. The Officers were President Louis Bonani, Viceapresident Iim Richardson. Secretary Don Law, and Treasurer Bob Sand! ers. During its third year the class was active in helping the Red Cross, the Community Chest, and the Blood Bank ..... Whenever the call for aid was heard, the Junior Class could be counted on. In February, Theta Delta Rho held their annual Valentine Dance and the Iunior Class was honored to have Ann Belle Perry, an ac- tive member of the class, chosen as the queen of Hearts. Pretty Jeanne Smith was later the Colonels' Queen at the Lettermen's April Showers Ball. In May, the Iunior Class sponsored the Senior Farewell Party at the American Legion Post 131. Given in honor of the graduating class, and replacing the annual Iunior-Senior Prom, the affair was a huge success. So ended the third year of good fellOWa ship. Next September the Junior Class will embark on its fourth and final year. It has been a good crew to have aboard.

The alwaySaactive Dave Whitney was elected president, Leo Kane vice-president, Lucille Reese secretary, and Roxy Reynolds treasurer. These students were elected to class offices on their reputations as active and dependable individuals. The choice couldnit have been a better one. Isabel Ecker, Connie Smith, Dave Park, and Dave Whitney were later chosen to represent the class in the StUe dent Council. In an attitude of friendliness the SophOy more Class helped guide the incoming Fresha men by co-sponsoring the Freshman-Sophop more Hon Iaunt, a wellyreceived farmer dance. as the years first big affair. Some weeks later a Wiener roast was held at Harp vey's Lake, and, thanks to Skinny Ennis, the outing was a tremendous success. By the end of the second month of the school year the Sophomore Class had established itself as one of the most active classes on the campus and could claim its share of big wheels at Wil- kes. This is a far cry from the timid, bewild- ered Freshman Class of September, 1949. The individual accomplishments of sopho! mores serving on various extrapcurricular ac- tivities have made a solid name for the Sopho- more Class. The Class of 1953 is on its way.

Like thousands of freshmen everywhere, our 1950 Freshman Class put on a collegiate look and tried, hesi- tantly to find its niche in life. But, unlike others, Wilkes' fresmen soon became oriented and made an early and surprising contribution to the initiation program. The Freshman Class hit the headlines with its glorious and stubborn battle against the traditional Initiation of undetermined ending date. Their proposal was a tugyof-war bee tween 2000 pounds of frosh and an equal poundage of upper classmen. In the event the frosh were victorious a and they were - initiation would end. If they lost, Frosh dinks would be worn until the Wile keSaKing's game. Their goal of fair play and good clean college fun as the basis of the initia! tion program was adopted after three weeks of hearty bickering. Under the splendid leadership of President Al Wallace, the Freshman Class did more than just settle the initiation problem. The class enthusiastically supported the Blood Drive, the Community Chest Drive and the Red Cross. As co-sponsors of the Soph-Frosh Hon Iaunt,n the class proved that it would take an active part in the schoolls social affairs. Its athletes and student leaders were of the highest calibre. It is the class' eagerness to make Wilkes Cole lege a better school that has established the Freshman Class' fine reputation. You will be hearing more about this class in the future.

Thanks to the community, the new gynmas- ium stands ready to aid the students in any way possible. Within a year the gym has already be- come an important element in the life of the College and the community which it serves. Besides being a gymnasium catering to the physical education program and athletic events, it was easily converted into an auditorium in which such activities as concerts, assemblies, plays, dances, K and recitals were staged. Add to this its use as a lodging place for Visiting football teams, and the ex- cellent facilities provided for teas and other smaller social gatherings and one can readily see that the new gymnasium has been really lived in.

Its record shows seven losses and one tie, but Coach Partridge uncovered some new talent that is bound to have a definite bearing on next year's record. Jones, Row- lands, Eckmeder, and Reynolds showed possibilities of becoming valuable men, and Partridge will be particularly watching goalie Parker Petrilak. The loss of Kovalchik and Jackson through graduation will be felt, but brighter days are just ahead for the soccer team. Hurt ya?

MRS. GERTRUDE WILLIAMS Adviser Beacnn JIM TINSLEY Features Editor GEORGE KABUSK News Editor The Beacon began the year with decided imy provements under the capable direction of Editor Tom Robbins. For the first five months the news publication operated at top speed. Its features, its columns, and its lay-outs hit a new high for HCWSe paper work at Wilkes. Then the new budget caught up with it. Robbins was forced to reduce the number of pages per issue, pictures were cut, and gradually the paper lost most of its recent gains. A reorganization meeting had to be called to straighten out the personnel problem. A few new reporters were added, and some hangers-on were dropped. It has been a trying year for Tom and his three associates, George Kabusk, Iim Tinsley, and Ro- mayne Gromelski. How the four of them remained steadfast through the crisis is a story that missed the headlines. It is the opinion of many readers that Chuck Gloman's sensational humor columns were greatly responsible for keeping the light of the Bea: con burning brightly.

The Economics Club, one of the largest and most active student organizations, has had an une usually successful year. Under the leadership of President Bob Eltus, ViceyPresident Wade Hay- hurst, Secretary Carl Strye, and Treasurer Henry Merolli, the Economics Club has had its hand in everything. The club first attracted attention with its HCite ronella Ball, an affair that took the school by storm. First prize in the Homecoming Week decoration contest was won by the club for its unusual poster. Dr. Rosenberg and eight club members took a worth-while trip to New York during the year. Outside of the social field, the Economics Club held discussions on economic topics, made field trips, and presented interesting speakers. It has truly been a banner year for the Economics Club.

Since its inception in 1946, the Let- termen's Club, one of the most powerful clubs on the campus, has aimed in the spirit of fellowship to promote the school in every way possible. Under the leadership of President Olie Thomas, Vice-President George Mew Mahon, Secretary Dick Scripp, and Treasurer Don Blankenbush, the club aimed for a more active participation by each letterman, and sought opportunities to cooperate with other campus groups. The Letterments Club has made great gains as a school organization in 195051. The club,s two successful school afy fairs were the annual Christmas Formal and the April Showers Ball, both held in the gymnasium.

As the major production of the year, the organization presented HBallad for Americans and several scenes from Gounod's immortal opera HFaust. In addition, the oratorio King David was repeated for the third time by popular demand. At their annual Christmas Con- cert, the chorus presented Clockey's cantata HThe Word Made Flesh. The featured soloists were: Nancy Boston and Carlie Thomas. sopranos; Helen Hawkins, mezzo-soprano; Evan Parker and Edward Brewster, tenors; and Jacob Wentland and Arthur Surplus, basses. DONALD E.

It is the general feeling that a firm foundation has been laid for future years. The principal purpose of the band is to help build school spirit by providing stimulating musical backgrounds at football games, but after the season the band rehearses a variety of band literature, so that its members will have an opportunity to grow in their musical experience.

The little master with the southern drawl, who has never known a poor football season in his five-year hitch with the Colonels, built the Club around shifty Al Nicholas and a hard-hitting line. A glorious 14-12 victory over King's made the Colonels, and especially Coach Ralston, the Toast of the Town.

The club has been a very active one. Its repree sentatives attended the Intercollegiate Association of Chemical Societies conference in May, films were shown on scientific subjects, and members of the Club promoted its interests on College radio programs.

The policy of the club is: uto educate and arouse interest among students in international affairs by free CI'itiCr ism and discussion. The members of the I.R.C. realize that today is no time for indifference or fence-sitting. The I.R.C. has engaged in numerous activities. Labor, natural resources, and militay ry affairs were discussed at the Regional Conference of I.R.C. clubs at Scranton. Repre- sentatives from Wilkes also attended the conference held at Kanon College. The crowning achievement of the club this year was its large delegation which attended the Intercollegiate Conferences on HGovernment at Harrisburg.

In its role as the student government, the Council distributes funds to the various activities which are included in the activities budget, it regue lates the use of the gymnasium for money-making dances, and it acts on many other affairs which directly concern the students. As a separate organization, the Student Council held sport dan- ces, conducted the Colonels' Caravan to offecampus football games, or- ganized Homecoming Week, and sponsored the famed Cinderella Ball. The Student Council is very much in the news at Wilkes College. Much of the Councils 1951 success is due to President Bob E1- tus' fine leadership.

Participants in some of the nation's top tournay ments, such as the Brooklyn Tournament, and the Hofstra Tournament, the Debating Team compiled a record in the .700 mark, making it one of theuwin- ningest groups at Wilkes. Outstanding was the work of Morgan and Davis, who won 15 out of 18 debates against the best competition in the country to give them a two year record of 22 wins out of 26 debates.

Their six wins and two losses tops the record of any other Wilkes athletic team in 1950-51. The team got off to a slow start by bowing to Millersville, 29-5, but after that it was a hayride. Lean Phil Husband, Goldie Dvorszniak, Zip Cro- mack, George McMahon, Ioe Stephens, and rookie heavyweight Bob Iaver were the big guns as Stroudsburg, Lafayette, Wyoming Seminary, Ithay ca, Swarthmore, and King's all went down to defeat.

But at no time during the last six years of the Amnicola has the staff had to face greater obstacles than in 1951. The reduce tion of the Amnicola's appropriation, plus the rising costs of labor and materials, proved a tremendous challenge to Editor John Guerra and his staff. That the Amnicola has met this challenge is attested by this yearbook. After a slow start, due to fitting the dummy to the budget, the staff began early in December to put together the 1951 Amnicola. With Editor Guerra at the helm, the various dey partments got going. Photographer Ed Bolinski began snap! ping pictures, Business Manager Sam Meline organized his forces for getting advertisements, and Copy Editor Paul Beers and his staff sat down to the job of boswelling a whole year of campus activity. The machine did not stop until the middle of May, when the book went to press. It has taken much blood, sweat, and tears to produce the JOHN B.

Candy Iones, his glamorous wife and a native of WilkesyBarre, seconded Mr. Conover's selections. In his letter to the Editor, Mr. Conover said that the Campus Queen and the five runners-up were chosen for their warmth, personality, and for a natural, out- door look rather than for glamor and sophistication.

Finishing up the season with seven straight defeats, the Colonels tacked up a 5-22 record, the worst in Wilkes' his- tory. Coach Ralston found himself with a team that needed experience and a little more height. A couple helpings of each would have given the C010! nels a better season. Len Batroney's speed, and John Milliman's height, combined with Eddie Davis' all-around ability should make next year's team a good one.

With the beautiful gymnasium, the gals have the best reducing agency in the business. Mrs. Bubeck, the instructor of girlst sports, has taught the femmes volleyball, baSe ketball, badminton, handball, and kickball. Add to these, relay races, and calisthenics and you have action aeplenty. That the gals have slimmed down considerably is noteworthy, as there is usually a large male audience on hand every time the girls take gym.

It would take a squad of Samuel Pepys' to cover the happenings that go on in Butler, Weckesser, and Sterling Halls. Dorm life has an atmos- phere all its own. Ordinary people just don't live the way dorm students do. But, then, ordinary people don't have quite as much fun either. Eighly-five Dmrm Dmings ww And then Amber says . . .

In keeping with the traditional tale, the stroke of midnight was the big moment of the Cinderella story. It was at this time that Miss Brennan broke into the spotlight revealing for the first time the students choice for Cinderella.

Among other new additions, is the publication of booklets containing a list of new books acquired during the month. The Library Staff is reinforced by fifteen stu- dents. With the help of any of the staff members, a student is easily able to find the wanted informay tion. In 1951, the Wilkes Library received a great number of valuable books from the private library of Frances Dorrance. Guidlamce Center Wilkes' very important Guidance Center is seldom in the news. It's just one of those parts of a school that doesn't hit the headlines. Counseling is the main duty of the Guidance Center. Interviews and achievement, aptitude, and personality tests are part of the program to helq the individual in any way possible. The Psychology Department works in close cooperation with the Guidance Center in helping young people choose occupations for which they are best suited. The Careers Library contains information concerning employment open to students all over the world, as well as one of the best collection of college cata- logues. tsittingy Eleanor Perlman, John I.

John War- ker tthird rowt Coach Bob Partridge, Marty Meyer, Joe Sikora, Joe Kropiewnicki, John Zigmund, George Batterson, Iohn Milliman A hard-hitting line-up and a strong pitching corps has given Wilkes one of the best baseball teams in the East in 1951. At mid- season the team had a record of seven wins and three losses, With very good prospects of increasing that win column. In his first season as baseball coach, Partridge has come up With a dandy pitching staff. Big John Zigmund, Iohn Milliman, Ioe Sikora, and Moe Batterson all turned in some well-pitched bally games. Ziggy's third straight SA win over mighty Ithaca was ace claimed throughout the college baseball circles. The Colonels were able to come up with a modified Murder- ers' Row, much to the distress of the opposition. Don Blankenbush, Len Batroney, A1 Manarski, and catcher Joe Deschak gathered in base hits in 30t0-f0rm. Rough little Eddie Davis, Al Molosh, Ioe Kropiewnicki, and pitcher Iohn Zigmund were the extra base blast- ers. Smooth fielding and exceptional base-running combined with the hitting power and fine pitching gave a total effect of some very nice college baseball. Got it!

VERCOE President FRANCES TREMBATH Secretary With the graduation of the Class of 1951, Wile kes College, in its short but remarkable history, loses one of its prize classes. As Seniors, the Class of 1951 instilled into Wilkes a school spirit which has never been equalled. The sincerity, pep,vigor, and love of good college life exhibited by this class led the way for the most active year in the school's history. The standard has been set high for suc- ceeding classes. With President Vester V. Vercoe in the sad! dle, the seniors galloped forth to greater and greater undertakings. Always an active class, it burst into sheer glory in its senior year, blazing the way with a hip-hip hurrah exhilaration. Its members led or actively supported each and every noteworthy came pus activity, whether social, athletic, or educational. The successful October Sport Dance was its first public demonstration of its ability to lead the campus With vitality. Remember the Senior Spec- tacle in the gym, with the energetic seniors holding off a lastuminute rally to defeat the faculty, much to the delight of the student body. The graduation dinnerudance was a gala affair, touched occasionally by poignant thoughts of sad farewell. Characteristically, the seniors used the prOe ceeds of their semesters' activities to purchase a handsome trophy case for the new gym. This gra- cious gesture culminated their many contributions to Wilkes as members of the student body. Each person by his life adds or detracts from the generation of Which he is a part. May it be said of the Class of 1951 that it has left Wilkes College Ha goodly heritage. Seninrs Ninety-six RAYMOND ALES NANTICOKE, PA. 3.5. in c a F ANTHONY I ANDRONACO NEW CANAAN, CONN.
