Perhaps all of us have different conceptions of how it should be told. The staff of the Amnicola has done its utmost to compile what it believes to be the social and academic scenes, events, and groups that will do most to bring a smile and pleasant thought now and in years to come. Structurally, we have employed a number of new features; a new layout, sketches, color, and an art theme based on our fellow publication, the Beacon-all in the quest for continued improvement. Acknowledgment is due all those students and business persons who contributed advice, time, and energy so invaluable to the staff. This, the seventh volume of life at a liberal arts college, we deliver into your hands with the hope that as you turn its pages, you Will pause and reflect on the happenings herein preserved.

We are challenged, therefore, in this time of stress to develop personal equanimity which alone will preserve us from the disintegrating effects of insecurity and emotional stress. Personal equanimity is never to be gained for the asking. It comes only to those capable of rising above personal ambitions and devoting a share of their energies to the welfare of their neighbors, their community, their nation, and their world. Do not confuse equanimity With complacency. Complacency is the prod- uct of unawareness and indifference to the ills and needs of our times. Equa- nimity is part of a dynamic force that requires some vision of the infinite possi- bilities of man along with a knowledge of his numerous frailties. It requires faith that men who work in harmony With the laws of the universe and with God will attain some measure of success, if the goals they seek and the means they use are worthy. It requires, also, humility which enables men to understand their neighbors and to work With them in friendliness and in con- fidence. This equanimity can come only to those possessing a faith in a Power beyond self. My words may have little meaning to you today. If, however, we are fated to live in a prolonged period of stress, the experiences of your life will give them meaning. As tensions mount and men of small stature lose their perspective, and in frantic desperation threaten the ideals and institutions to which they give lip service, the importance of personal integrity and equa- nimity increases. In such times you will come to recognize that these great qualities of man are at once the bases and the hope of freedom, of democracy, and of our civilization. Perhaps you will think that I am asking too much of you. I do not think so. I am merely asking you to recognize something of your own possi- bilities and to seek to develop them. You will face discouragement and, if you seek great ends, Will some- times fail. Failure and discouragement must ever be accepted as the inevitable concommitants of great endeavors. Great ends are attained only by those who can face failure and still retain their vision and their hopes. Strength to tran- scend failure and discouragement are essential and even the strongest must sometimes gain strength from others. As Lord Halifax wrote in a moment of crisis for England, ttGreat ends are never attained by small men. Paradoxically it may also be true that men are never truly great until they undertake the impossible. You may often wonder Whether or not you should undertake a task or accept an opportunity. Your best judgment 'will be required in coming to a decision, but it is well to remember that the wisdom of the decision generally depends upon what you do after it is made. In moments of doubt, one of my friends gains comfort from a brief prayer which gives new strength and hope. llLord, give me the courage to undertake the things that can be changed, ' The patience to endure the things that cannot be changed, And the wisdom to know the differencefi So far I have spoken about you and your future. My final words, how- ever, will deal with a bit of your future and mine. We have now known each other for four years. As we part at the Commencement of 1952, I hope that the friendship between us may grow warmer and richer with the passing of the years. EUGENE S. FARLEY .m---a oh Nu Dean of Men Dean of Women 3 Registrar GEORGE F. RALSTON GERTRUDE M. 'WILLIAMS ADMINISTRATION The heart and soul of Wilkes may be a cheering crowd at a football game, a bunch of fellows and gals swapping stories over coffee in the Cafeteria, or one of those so-serious bull sessions held right before every big exam, but What makes the school tick can be found right in Chase Hall, the general headquarters of Wilkes College. a Amid the typewriters, adding machines, leathery offices, HERBERT J. MORRIS Enclil narrow halls is the organization behind Wilkes o ege. Upstairs in the back of Chase Hall is Dr. Farleyis office. Here the President of Wilkes carries out his official business. Occasionally he'll swing around on his swivel chair and look out his Wide expanse of windows. Below is his college. At times he may be seen chatting with one comptrOH-ler of the students about some school problem. It is here that Dr. Farley looks out for the welfare of Wilkes, and the community which the school serves. Down the hall is the office of Dean of Women, Mrs. Gertrude Williams. Succeeding Dean Harker, Mrs. Wil- liams has done a commendable job as an efficient and popular administrator. A newspaper reporter of note and one of the outstanding instructors in the English Depart- ment, Mrs. Williams has tackled her new position of Dean of Women like a reporter on a new assignment. She, her- self, says that it has been an exciting first year. Across the hall from Dean Williams is the office of George Ralston, Dean of Men. Energetically solving the myriad of personal and professional problems that find their way to his desk, Dean Ralston still has time to talk to students about their personal problems, advise under- grads and grads, and lend his sparkling sense of humor and love of fun to the campus. Dean Raiston uses his spare time constructively by being Athletic Director, head r ' football and basketball coach, Faculty resident of the But- DONALD R. KERSTEEN ler Dormitory, and adviser to the Lettermen's Club. 1m Eight Guid ance Director Public Relations JOHN J. CHWALEK CHARLES J. FOXLOW Downstairs on the main floor is found the office of Registrar Herbert Morris. He is chief schedulemaker, compiler of statistics, and coordinator of work on the College catalogue. His part in the Wilkes team is a quiet but very important one. Comptroller Donald Kersteen's office is next to Mr. Morrist. It is Mr. Kersteen Who has the difficult job of handling the finances of Wilkes College. This, then, is our administration. Lodged inside ivy- covered Chase Hall, the administration nevertheless ROBERT W. PARTRIDGE touches the being of every student at Wilkes. OIHche Staff Sitting: Jean Jones, Mary Argenio.

Their never ending interest in standards, student activities, reference mate- rials, and curriculum is responsible for much of Wilkes' rapidly improving position among liberal arts colleges. To aid them in this, they bring a wealth of specialized training and experience, as well as study, travel, and teaching the world over, thus giving them the cosmopolitan viewpoint so essential to the well-rounded development of the student. Two new department heads were welcomed this year, Dr. Smith as head of the Education Department, and Mr. Detroy as head of the Music De- partment, both of whom have made possible even more varied courses than were heretofore available.

So much depends on our teachers- our learning to think logically, to make sound judgments, to discover values to live by. Better than any other single group, they can demonstrate that education is that something that lingers behind when all that has been taught has been for- gotten. For that reason our faculty have been selected for their knowledge of the subjects they teach, the breadth of their experience, and the quality of their interest in stu- dents. iTheir academic preparation includes advanced work at many of the nationis great universities. The unique personalities of many of our teachers enriched our college days; and, unless we're very much mistaken, we'll remember them with advantages in the years that follow. This year, new members of the faculty included Mr. Bunn, Mr. Crane, Mrs. Gutt- man, Mr. Mokychic, and Mr. Young.

He seeks truth, for without truth there can be no understanding, and without under- standing, the problems that separate us are insoluble, He is able to communicate his ideas to others in a manner that assures understanding and enlists cooperation. He accepts all men, for his knowledge cre- ates an understanding of men's deeds and intentions. their limitat50ns and possibilities. He respects differences because he knows how they have come to be. He fears uni- formity because it confines both mind and spirit. He possesses vision, for he knows that Vision precedes all great attainments. uWhere thereis no vision, the people perish. He comprehends that no man is sufficient unto himself, that he must work with others if he wishes them to work with him. He cultivates inner resources, for he knows that crisis, which may reveal the strength or weakness of a man, demands independ- ence of judgment and action. He is aware of the human struggle for prog- ress and comprehends the forces that have assured and jeopardized this progress. He knows that continued progress requires in- tellectual vigor, moral courage, and physical strength. He possesses moral standards by which to evaluate the actions and intentions of men. He is prepared to earn his living. He possesses faith in a Power beyond self.

SENIORS Seventeen J IM RICHARDSON President LOU BONANNI Vice-President Senior History The Senior Class entered their last year with a burst of enthusiasm, determined to make their final semesters at Wilkes as successful as the preceding ones. The first matter of business on the agenda was a spirited contest for class offices. When the final ballots had been tabulated, James Richardson had been elected president, Louis Bonanni vice-president, Robert Sanders secretary, and Donald Law treasurer. To help the freshmen become better acquainted with the students and faculty of Wilkes, the seniors' first social event was informal, a country- style farmer dance. The affair had enthusiastic support by the student body and accomplished its objective of promoting good friendship and school spirit. In March, the seniors staged the second annual Senior Spectacle, an evening of entertainment by the seniors and the faculty who met in battle on the basketball court. The affair filled the gymnasium with a large crowd as plenty of laughter and action rolled through the evening. The Junior Class later honored the Class of 52 with a dinner-dance at McClintock Hall. The event touched off a series of events where seniors would honor and be honored in their last days of academic study. Most remembered by our class, will be the Senior Dinner Dance given by the administrative department of the college, as faculty and future alumni of Wilkes met socially. With funds from the class treasury, the seniors have prepared their gift, a stone bench, which is under construction and will be presented in June. This gift will be in appreciation to Wilkes College. Although we will no longer roam the campus that has become so familiar to us, we will always remember the many happy and valuable experiences that we have had while college students. In future years as we part and take our place in all walks of life, Wilkes will not be forgotten. Whatever our success may be, we can never lose sight of the fact that much of that success is a result of teaching and guidance we received while here. As the time of farewell draws near, and as the four years we have spent here flash back before our eyes, we say to Wilkes, iiWell done, and so long for now . .

Of course, this can be said of every class, but this yearls Junior Class had something dif- ferent, something intangible that is not acquired by all classes. The same can also be said of every activity the class has undertaken. For example, in the social activities field I think the class of 53 has far exceeded the attempts of other classes. We have tried to follow a policy of providing the best but in a different way. Our Knit; , attempts have been to get away from the usual run of affairs. I realize that social activity is not everything in a class but we must l -I admit it is a very important criteria for determining the status of fl: l a class. An example of the above policy was the Sadie Hawkins Day Jamboree held in November. Few people can actually say that they a, -a I did not enjoy the activities that were presented on that festive ' e night. With the music of well-known bands trecorded, that isl the a ' festivities began. New types of dances were introduced, costumes of all sorts appeared but the most impressive of all was the skit the class had prepared, which starred our own little Helen Scherff and her lill Abner, Bob Evans. x After the Jamboree, the class settled down once again to V await the oncoming Junior-Senior Prom. When the time arrived, our policy of providing the best sprang into action. The class was not too enthusiastic over a prom but they realized they had to pro- vide something that this year's Senior Class would always remember. They did in the form of a buffet dinner and dance held in McClintock Hall. The affair, a little out of the ordinary, was a splendid success. In the field of athletics, it is important to point out that the class did not lack representation in any activity. Along with having a few outstanding members on the soccer squad, the class was well represented on the football, basketball, and baseball teams. We, the Juniors of Wilkes, look forward to our coming senior year, and hope that in all its trials and tribulations, its bits of happi- ness and gaiety we can obtain a status that will be even better than that position in which we now find ourselves.

The class that once rose up-in-arms against Freshmen Week, the Tribunal, and everything else at Wilkes has become a quiet, plod- ding, hard-working organization, seldom given to stirring up con- troversies. The Sophomore Class began the year by electing officers. Al Wallace was once again chosen president. An oldster proven in abilities, Dale Warmouth, was elected vice-president, Carol Reynar was selected as secretary, and Gene Scrudato as treasurer. The class has supported everything at Wilkes. It was a class that could always be counted on. Its members were out in force at football games and other sporting events, they supported the dances and various campus drives, and were usually always found in the thick of things. Here is just a brief jotting of some of the Class, more out- standing members. Jimmy Atherton, Moe Batterson, Eddie Davis, Bob Heltzel, Bob Javer, Joe Sikora, Ray Tait, Joe Trosko, and John Milliman were the athletes. Batterson further distinguished himself with his trills as a member of the Harmoneers and Collegians. Warmouth, Mike Lewis, Gene Scrudato, and Sam Meline were active on the publications. Wayne Madden and Joe Sikora were outstanding musicians. Janie Carpenter hustled 'long and hard for the cheerleaders. These and many others all contributed to the Wilkes' scene. The Sophomore Class came into Wilkes with a lot of fight. It hasnlt lost a bit of that, even though it has become more mature. It still wants to make Wilkes the best of all schools. It still wants to make its four-year stay at Wilkes the best of all possible stays. And it still wants to be, in true roaring fashion, the best of all possible classes.

Thirty-Iive FRESHMEN AFAhhA pt he J a a thyvv.e' The Freshman Class hesitantly took their initial step into college life, plowed through registration, book buying and the general confusion of opening days, all of which left the F rosh unfazed, but strenuous days were ahead and many a good man felt the clippers and paddle as the Sophomores cheerfully initiated their Freshmen wards. Proving their spunk, the Freshmen soon ended initiation, and were ready to orient themselves to Wilkes College. Knowing they would need leaders to direct their enthusiasm and interests, the Freshman Class elected their officers. As Presi- dent they chose Lou Steck; as Vice-President, Dave Kunkle; Lois Long was chosen Secretary; and Art Hoover was elected Treasurer. As Student Council representatives, they elected Eleanor Opalski, Harold Jenkins, and Robert Reynolds. Advisers were Mr. Welton Farrar and Dr. Charles Reif. These two men were most instrumental in helping the Freshman Class make a smooth adjustment. Beginning their participation as co-sponsors of the iiFrosh- Soph Joy Jaunt they continued with their Turkey Trot, an outing that will be hard to top, and they were the first class to hold a Parentsl Party. By their enthusiastic support of the Blood Drive, Community Chest, Red Cross and many other worthy drives, the Freshman Class proved that they were supporters of the community as well as the college. Academically, athletically, dramatically, and socially the Freshman Class found a highly recognized spot in the minds of everyone at Wilkes College. By their sincerity and willingness to cooperate they have attained their goal of helping to make Wilkes College not just a community college but a highly accredited, widely recognized, and deeply respected college. As we close our first year, we can look to the future and know that these Freshmen of today will be tomorrowls leaders. LOUIS F.

ARTHUR N. KRUGER BOB EVAN S Adviser Editor-in-Chief o 0 Bob Evans found he had stepped into no easy Edltorlal Staff job when he took over the position of editor-in-chief of the Amnicola. The seventh annual Amnicola faced a budget problem stiffer than any of the preceding six. The reduction of appropriations, plus the rising costs of labor and materials, proved a tremendous challenge to Editor Evans and his business manager, Sam Meline. By hard work and tight fistedness the job was done and the Amnicola rolled off the presses into your hands. Finances are always first and foremost, but other problems bumped into Editor Evans. Pictures and copy must be gotten. A good lay-out is essential. But over and above all else an interesting, well- balanced, informative yearbook must be produced. Mr. Evans back in September arranged his desk and got to work. For nine months the desk looked like a kid's toy box, and then Editor Evans sent the final material to the printers. He leaned back, sighed, and started to clean off his desk. Helping Editor Evans was a full and complete staff.

Its complete coverage, editorials, and features were never better. The editorship of the Beacon was split. In the Fall semester George Kabusk held the reins and in the Spring semester Chuck Gloman took charge. These two editors left little to be desired. To them must go most of the credit for reviving the Beacon and lifting it from the apathy that it had fallen in the last two years. It took only a few good issues to put the Beacon back in good graces. Readers of the Beacon found that Chuck Gloman lost none of his wit by moving into the editorship. His Culture Corner offered pure Gloman corn that satisfied everyone. Wilkes has truly been fortunate in having Chuck Gloman around for four years. Our excellent debating team received regular coverage, as did the campus political scene. Paul Beers, The Varsity Limp gave the high and the low and the Beersian view of the Colonel activities. Campus affairs received splendid advances, and the Cue 'nt Curtain was criticized and praised in true journalistic style. The Beacon readers were well pleased with their college newspaper.

Forty-two CHUCK GLOMAN JAMES FOXLOW Adviser MANUSCRIPT ttInfinite riches in a small room was the aim of Manu- script, the literary magazine at Wilkes, this year as it has been ever since the initial publication in 1947. With Wendell Clark as chief of the staff, the editors pored over a flood of manu- scripts to select the best representation of literary efforts by student writers. It became a ritual to check the Manuscriptts box at the campus entrance of Kirby Hall to see what hopeful author had dropped a contributionebe it poetry, essay, short story or articleethrough its slotted lid. Manuscript was fortunate to receive reprint rights to three poems published by the National Poetry Association in its latest anthology of verse by college students. From the 1952 issue of N.P.Afs ttAmerica Sings were poems by Connie Smith, Wendell Clark and Dale Warmouth. Miss Smith's poem, Can't Sit Stillf, was doubly honored as it had originally appeared in Manuscript before being accepted by the national group. The ever-growing exchange list placed copies of the magazine in the hands of various people in public life, as well as college libraries throughout the nation. This years editorial staff was pleased with the originality and variety of submis- sions, which indicated that there is no lack for good authors on the Wilkes campus. 3 n 4w; tSeatedt Eleanor Perlman.

Student Council The Student Council, major student governing body, had an extremely activeeand successfuliyear both in its legislative capacity and in its position in social activities. One of the most important accomplishments of the council was its success in reorganizing the budget set-up in such a manner that the student activities fund is divorced from the athletic fund. Much of the credit for this is deserved by Treasurer Henry Merolli. The 1952 Student Council established some valuable prece- dents in social activities. In November a Thanksgiving Dance was held for all local college students. Well-attended, this affair not only provided an enjoyable evening for all present, but did much to further good relations with the community and with other colleges. A second innovation was inviting the faculty to the Cin- derella Ball, Which contributed much to the occasion. The council was ably led by President Joe Reynolds. An interesting development this year was the augmented stature given to the position of Parliamentarian, due to the outstandingly competent manner in Which it was filled by John Murtha. tSittingl George Lewis, Vice-president; Joe Reynolds, President; Nancy Hannye, Secretary. tStandingl Henry Merolli, Treasurer; John Murtha, Parliamentarian.

In its educational role, the club arranges for prominent speakers from govern- ment, politics, and business; as well as interesting field trips to various manu- facturing concerns. In its recreational capacity, the club conducts its annual spring outing, an event that is enjoyed equally by students and faculty. Many of the club's members are prominent campus leaders.

The general aim of the International Relations Club is to aid in the promotion of understanding among nations toward the purpose of securing world peace. The policy of the club is: to educate and arouse interest among students in international affairs by free criticism and discussion. The members of the I. R. C. realize that today is no time for indifference or fence-sitting. The I. R. Cfs biggest achievement of the year came when it pushed through Adlai Stevenson for President. In a big student presidential nomination at Harrisburg, the I. R. C., under the capable leadership of President Caffrey, worked smoothly and politically to get the nomination for their candidate. Schools all over the East marvelled at the Colonels, skill. President Caffrey, himself, had the honor of telephoning Governor Stevenson the good news.

Prominent a m o n g the cultural groups on the Wilkes campus, the Liter- ary Society has had another eminently successful year, during which time it did much to achieve its goal of encouraging creative writ- ing and interest in literary affairs on the part of W i 1 k e s , students. The group operated under the capable and interested lead- ership of Mr. Joseph Don- nelly of the English Depart- uidin li ht ment. MIKE LEWIS, g g g Although handicapped at the beginning of the year by the fact that thirteen of its sixteen members had graduated the previous June, the group Charades was soon brought to full strength by an influx of new mem- bers who, together with three veteran Literarians, Wendell Clark, Dale Warmouth, and Mike Lewis, proved that literary interest was as strong as ever at Wilkes. As in past years, the society pursued its goals through the medium of social- discussion meetings at which manuscripts brought in by members were criticized by the group. These discussion periods were always followed by a literary tea after which literary charades were played, thus making the Literary Society the only campus organization which holds all social meetings. At the conclusion of the year, Wendell Clark was chosen Honorary Chairman by the group because of his outstanding service to the society. 1LT: iii, MR.

The Wilkes College Band members, individually and as a group, embrace two main objectives. First, the Band works toward providing a stimulating musical background for the football games. Second, the Band rehearses a great dealiof the concert music written for band and presents results of their rehearsals at a concert given in the Spring. The latter objective is by far the most important, because it not only contributes to the cultural betterment of the band members, but also to the community which it serves. Every element of a community college must serve the locale in Which it exists. The Wilkes College Band willingly accepted its challenge this year, when a near-capacity audience enjoyed marches, Latin American melodies, and a number of interpretations of HRow, Row, ROBERT MORAN Row Your Boat that convulsed everyone.

A.A-.Q ' A, J OHN DETROY Director During the year 1951-1952 the Choral Club held regular rehearsals and presented several programs. Just before Christmas vacation, the club performed for the student body at assembly. This program was made up of traditional Christmas carols and light, popular Christmas songs. A small group grew out of the Choral Club, the Madrigal Singers, that presented a program of madri- gals of the 18th century at the December recital on the Town and Gown Series. This music is a very special type, very difficult to sing, but most interesting to listen to. The Choral Club joined with several other choral organizations to present the Consecration Scene from Verde opera, tAidaK This was performed with the Wyoming Valley Philharmonic Orchestra. It was a highly dramatic presentation, and brought the concert to a brilliant climax. With more rehearsal time and a larger member- ship in the future the Choral Club looks forward to better years to come.

A group of song-lovers, composed of Flip Jones, J ake Kovalchek, Bill Crowder, and Moe Batterson, decided to bring informal college music to Wilkes. The result was that the Collegians, an all-male chorus was formed, meeting three times weekly at Gies Hall. The Collegians sang in Assembly, in various high school gatherings, and all around the campus. Popular among their tunes was the novel Johnny Schmoker. With Beth Bad- man accompanying, Bill Crowder con- ducting, and Flip Jones singing solo, the Collegians were something to be heard. That this is a new organiza- tion with a great future, is indi- cated by the award given it for the best student assembly. Harmoneers The Harmoneers is an old Wilkes organization, formerly operating under the name of Mud-Gutters. Known throughout the Valley for its ability to blend smooth tones and put across new and old songs in that genuine barber shop manner, the Harmoneers are a popular foursome at Wilkes.

Big Time is the word for the Wilkes debating team. During the last three years Dr. Kruger,s debaters have been one of the Eastis best, making them Wilkes' top team and a prize example of What Wilkes can produce. The team shone brightly in the Eastern For- ensic Association, placing sixth among 27 colleges and universities. Only a sudden snowstorm stopped the boys from copping the Debating Tour- Fred takes the negative me-rive nament of Pennsylvania. At the Brooklyn College Invitational in March, Wilkes tied Notre Dame for first place. Top man on the club was President Fred Davis. F red, who loves to argue the negative, is almost unbeatable. He is Dr. Krugeris all-time all-timer, which is saying a lot as Dr. Kruger has produced some fine debaters in his coaching career. Newcomers James Neveras, Roxy Reyn- olds, and Doris Gates, plus experienced John Mur- tha rounded out the top team. Much credit for the clubis success must go to Dr. Kruger. Known in college circles as an expert on the science of debating and training debaters, Dr. Kruger has devoted much time and effort to aiding Wilkes debaters. That the Colonels are something of a power even among the nation,s biggest and oldest schools, is a source of joy to Dr. Kruger.

Frosh start trip through town Weighing in for 'tug-of-War Sixty-fnur Frosh pay for sins Occasionally, when the Fresh became too ram- bunctious a haircut was administered or a costume parade arranged. To help in getting adjusted, a Hget acquainted dance was arranged by the cheerleaders. For a number of weeks following their entrance, a Freshman Orientation program was carried on to help them in making a good adjustment. Faculty members and student leaders spoke on topics of inter- est and a student handbook was issued. This helped immeasurably in reducing confusion, but always a few Frosh could be counted on for violations, to the joy of the upperclassmen, who remembered only too vividly their first days at Wilkes. When the laughing was over, the Frosh had be- come a tight-knit class, ready to take their place in Wilkes society, and to do their bit in promoting the spirit of Wilkes.

A hot time was had in the torchlight parade before the game but a chilling feature was the 27-7 thump- ing administered by the Colonels' arch-foe, King's, at Meyers Stadium. In charge of the homecoming event was Ray Jacobs, class of 1950, whose ar- rangements went like clockwork, With the sole exception of judging decorations by clubs and dormitory residents.

The large crowd that gathered in the Admiral Stark Room of the Sterling Hotel found entertainers Joe Hirko, Howie Phillips, Gordon Young, Hank Novak, J ake Kovalchek, Carl Lahr, Dick Gribble, Lois Long, and George Kabusk just as fun- packed. Bob Bacon of WBRE was master of cere- monies, Melton and his combo supplied the music, and Kirby Walker, nationally famous entertainer supplied the songs. It was a great evening for fun, dancing, and relaxation. Kirby plays Heat! Sixty-mght SADIE HAWKINS DANCE The Sadie Hawkins Dance was held on Fri- day, October 26 in the Gymnasium. A large crowd was there to partake of the square danc- ing, group singing, and comical entertainment provided by Roxy Reynolds, Helen Scherff, Bob Evans, Dave Parks, and the hill-billy singers of Wilkes. The imagination used by the planning committee was evident in the table settings of pumpkins and candles, the rustic stage decora- tions and the skits. A fine time was had by all, especially the Freshmen, who were further able to get acquainted with Wilkest informal social life.

Seventy-Iive MISS LOIS ANN SHAW Campus Beauty Queen Each year the staff of the Amnicola picks 21 candidates to compete for the crown of the Campus Queen. The task of judging any quality so relative as beauty must be a difficult one by its very nature. Every man has his own opinion and at times choosing a beauty queen can become very complicated. Ham Fisher, world-famous artist, creator of Joe Palooka, and native of Wilkes-Barre, was the man who was picked to make the deci- sion. Judging our beauties was a delight, as Mr. Fisher expressed in a letter to the editor. We of the staff wish to thank Mr. Fisher for judging our contest, although we,ll venture that the pleasure was all his. Miss Shaw lives in Wilkes-Barre, is a Junior in Education, and is active in numerous campus organizations. BEAUTY h sscs$ ssea; s6 S 22 1 Q s Kseess g agggaaeasAapsa KsuhseKqu 2 ;?

Getting that first win has become an obsession With the soccer team. Once again, the third straight season of soccer at Wilkes, Part- ridge's men have come close, but not quite close enough. The 1951 record: 0 wins, 7 losses. The Elizabethtown game saw the Colonels nearly grasp that one highly-desired victory. The week before down in Elizabethtown the boys had lost a tough one in the closing two minutes, 2-1. Now at home they had built up a comfortable 4-2 lead with only fifteen minutes left to play. Within those short ticking minutes Elizabethtown exploded, stealing a 5-4 victory right out of the Colonels hands. It was a three-year heartbreaker. The Colonels suffered one big loss when its superb goalie, Parker ROBERT W. P ARTRIDGE Petrilak, was recalled into the service. Luckily, he was ably replaced by Coach rookie Jim Moss. Other rookies who made good were Bill Clausen, Jim Hartman, Dick Polakowski, and Moe Batterson. Partridge is looking ahead to the 1952 season. Back again Will be his two four-year starters, Cled Rowlands and Paul Beers. Outstanding backfield men, Flip Jones, Bill Mergo, and Preston Eckmeder, ought to make the club rough defensively.

FOOTBALL GEORGE RALSTON Coach ! 1951 was Wilkes Collegels first losing year.' A record of only one win against five losses was registered, including the first defeat ever handed the Colonels by their Valley rival, King,s. It may not have been a pleasant year on the gridiron, b112, elsewhere everything was wonderful. Losing or not, the football team was such a fighting, spirited, and exciting one that it gener- ated a school spirit not seen even in those glorious days when the Colonels smothered opponents. A large school crowd followed the Colonels and talked about the Colonels. The defeats hurt, especially the 27-7 one given us by Kings, the one triumph was glorious, but all the time that good Wilkes atmosphere remained, confuting the theory that a school must have a good football team. The Colonels worked against odds from the start. George Ralston had few veterans on hand, important openings to fill, and a small squad, numerically and physically, to work with. Coach Ralston can be congratulated for his splendid work for the Colonels were game all season, even when they were far outclassed. Wilkes opened the season by bowing to a tough St. Francis team, 12-7. A little luck here and there and the Colonels might have dumped the Frankies. Ithaca took us in the next game on a recov- ered fumble, 6-0. The Colonels had dropped their second game by a shade. Eighty-Six GEORGE McMAHON AND AL MOLOSH Co-captains The third game was with Bridge- port University and the Colonels laid it on. Running, passing, and tackling as of old, Ralston,s men gained them- selves an easy 25-7 victory. The one sad feature of the tussle was the injury of the superb running back, Al N icholas. With Nicholas forced to ride the bench most of the time, the Colonels dropped their next two engagements, 27-7 to Bloomsburg and 26-7 to Mary- land State. After five years it happened. Never beaten by Kings yet, the Colonels were forced to see their royal streak shattered at Meyers Stadium on the night of November 17. An ambitious, smooth - operating M o n a r c h team trimmed Ralstonts gridders, 27-7. The Colonels tried every minute, but they were far outclassed. The only Colonel tally came in the third quarter, when Ralston's great end for four years, Al Molosh, took Nicholasy flat pass and galloped over the goal line. Eighty-seven HAROLD J ENKINS AND LOUIS STECK Managers Jenkinsy pet whirlpool Taking it on the chest We crashed through the center . . . At the season's end the annual Athletic Banquet was held in the Wilkes Cafeteria. Coach Ralston got up and thanked his boys for the splendid effort and cooperation which they had given him. HIn doing so, Ralston stated, Twinkletoes travelling Big Bloom back and pulled down their backs tteven though we did not have a successful foot- ball season this year, my boys worked harder than any other football squad in the history of Wilkes. That was high praise. High praise was also given to Co-Captain Al Molosh, the Big Mo from Brooklyn. Molosh re- ceived the Outstanding Lineman of the Year Trophy, the Joseph Galla- gher Memorial Trophy, given to the athlete deemed worthiest by his own teammates, and the Howard W. Davis Memorial Trophy for achievement in athletics, sportsmanship, leadership, and scholarship. Mo became the first man in Wilkes history to win the Davis Trophy twice. Blocking back George Elias won the Backfield Man of the Year Trophy. The advance notices for 1952 are even less encouraging than the 1951 results. Molosh has graduated. Twin- kletoes Al Nicholas, acclaimed as one of the greatest backfield men ever seen in operation in Wyoming Val- ley, was called into the Marines soon after the 1951 season closed. The squad is again small. But when the Blue and Gold dash out onto the field and the band plays and the cheerleaders holler and every- body stands up and sings, the score ceases to count. The game of football has then contributed its share to a studentis college education.

It struggled and worked hard, but lack of expe- rience in the upper weights was too much of a load to carry, and it sunk to a low record of 3 wins, 1 tie, and 6 losses. Against the competition that the team was forced to buck, this record is as outstanding as last years 6-2 won-and-lost figure. A run - down on the record shows that the Colonels lost some mighty tough ones. They dropped the opener to Cortland, 18-17. Wyo- ming Seminary got an 18-14 win from them. The others weren,t so close, . 4 like the 31-3 loss to Millersville, the 24-8 loss to Lock Haven, the 28-8 trouncing by Ithaca, and the 24-6 loss to CHARgiEtESLOMAS West Chester. Coach Laggan and his men werenit getting beaten by novices, but by some of the best wrestlers in the East. The victories that the Colonels got were decisive and Wholesome. The boys beat Swarthmore, 24-10; East Stroudsburg, 31- 3; and in that big one, Kingsy they groaned delightfully, 24-8. An 18-18 tie was registered with Lafayette. Ward holds Sem,s Mooney N iuety J IM LAGGAN C ouch Captain Charlie puts one over Individually, the biggest surprise that the grapplers got was in the 123 lb. form of Fresh- man Bobby Reynolds. Bouncer Bob won 6, tied 1, and lost only 2. The rookie worked two pins and twice won by forfeits. Over the season, he was worth 20 points to the team. Three more years of Bob should be worth a gold mine to Coach Laggan. Another rookie looking great was Jim Ward in the 130 1b. class. Ward won 7 and lost 3. One of his triumphs was a thrill- ing decision bout over Martin Mooney of Wyo- ming Seminary. A third Freshman, Joe Yano- vitch, held the 157 1b. class in fine style, com- piling a 6-4 record. Joe won the fans with his old-fashion muscle fighting. Incidentally, only the Freshmen on the team were able to come above the 50-50 mark.

Unusual enough, though, was the fact that whereas the average basketball teams had always managed to somehow split with Kingts in the annual two-game series, this very- improved team dropped both tussles. thriller of the old school.

So are the men. This year the gals beat the J. C. C. team but lost to the Keystone Junior College, and Misericordia basketballers. In addition, they put up a gallant fight against the marauding Faculty Women team but went down to hilarious if not bitter defeat. Rising in rhythm Hayer at bat Ninety-five a N'Wtwvu ed Gregory shoots Practice for the Spectacle BASEBALL The 1952 baseball team found things a little rough in the clinches. It was occasionally able to batter down an opponent, but most of the time it was forced to be on the low end of the score. The team wasn,t a bad one and it did hustle, but it lacked the necessary expe- rience to win in college baseball. The pitching staff was strong, but often it found itself without adequate fielding support. John Milliman, Joe Sikora, and Moe Batterson had a lot on the ball. Sophomore Joe Wengyn was an able catcher. The infield looked good. Marsh Karesky at first, Lenny Batroney at sec- ond, Captain Joe Kropniewnicki at short stop, and Eddie Davis at third gave the Colonels a rough infield. The outfield was unsteady all season. Jim Moss, Chuck Anderson, Joe Tro- sky, Walt Chapko, and Norm Gates handled most of the fly-chasing duties, and their expe- rience this year is sure to produce results next year.
