Four years of search and 0f e170rt must a17eet the lives of any person, and these years of study should have opened to each of you new vistas for self-deaelopment and for greater service. All of us live in a period of accelerating change, and none of us can foresee all that lies before us. The best that we can do is to so shape our own lives that we will be strong enough to endure the vicissitudes of life and wise enough to shape our lives so that we may enjoy a measure of happiness and of achievement. We can never be sure that our chosen goals will be attained, for we are a part of the times in which we live, and the divergent influences that shape the time, must also shape the lives of each of us. Many things will happen to us that we would avoid, but eaerythin g that happens becomes a part of us for good or bad. And, to some extent, we can determine whether it shall be good or bad. We can drift with the tide, or we can make the best of every situation, whether it be chosen by us or thrust upon us. By our attitudes and by the values that we hold, we can make each experience a path to despair, or to a brighter future. As Tennyson has said, I am a part of all that I have met; Yet all experience is an arch wherethrough Gleams that untraaelea' world, whose margins fade Forever and forever as I move? May your arches of exgerienee lead you to greater happiness and to more significant lives! 12 Wefzagbwz . . , The most important thing to which we are paying tribute is the double celebration which Wilkes is holding this year . . . the twenty-Fifth year of its founding and the gradua- tion of the eleventh class from the college. Bucknell University wished to provide the citizens of Wilkes-Barre an opportunity for the advantages of higher education comparable with those in other areas of the na- tion. In 1933 Bucknell University Junior College was established in Wilkes-Barre to serve the young people of the Wyoming Valley. The plans of development caused the college to grow rapidly and steps were made to have the program ex- tended to establish a four-year col- lege. In 1946 the students were given the opportunity for the first time to complete their four-year college edu- cation in Wilkes-Barre. It was at this time that the college satisfied the requirements of the state and in June of 1947 the Junior College be- came Wilkes College with an inde- pendent legal status. The earliest classes were held in rented ofIice space, and most of the faculty was drawn from Bucknell. It was at the request of the Admin- istration and the Board of Trustees that some of the community's lead- ing citizens enabled the college to move into permanent quarters. Conyngham Hall and Chase Hall were the first buildings belonging to Wilkes College. The Weckesser and Kirby homes were added to the college to facilitate its rapid growth. The Board of Trustees gave Gies Hall, Barre Hall, Butler Hall, and Pickering Hall to the college. Ash- ley and Sterling Halls were be- quested to the college as was the McClintock residence to facilitate housing for out-of-town women students. Later acquisitions of the college were Harding Hall, the Sturdevant House, and Hollenback Hall, for classroom and faculty offices. War- ner Hall, Gore Hall, Weiss Hall, and George Catlin Hall were added for dormitory facilities. In 1957 the Harold R. Stark Hall of Science was dedicated for the advancement of science. In the twenty-five years of its growth Wilkes College has made tremendous progress in the field of education. In the twenty-five years of its growth, the students of Wilkes have experienced everything from a depression, a World War, and a change in a political wayof-life. All through these times the students of Wilkes have wanted a college edu- cation. They have all had different personal goals, yet they have all been here for the foundation for attain- ing the goals which they had set for themselves. STANLEY H. WASILESKI, M.S. MRS.

BASTRESS, Ph.D. Dean of Instruction JOHN P. WHITBY, M.S. Director of Admissions and Registrar ADMINISTRATION The administration of Wilkes College has moulded into the students that which can be exemplified as the Wilkes way-of-life. Their attempt has been to show the student the path to take for success now and after grad- uation. It has been their aim for the student to acquire a sense of independence and responsibility early in his college career. This is in addition to the help which the administration is only too willing to give to the stu- dent, which is a very important part of the college way- of-life. The doors of Chase Hall are always open to the stu- dents for them to feel free to come in and talk to the deans to discuss the various things in their life which may be an asset to their lives or may be a problem im- peding the students progress. The very fact that the administration is so willing to talk and discuss with the students is of great importance to have a happy and satisfied student body. The Wilkes way-of-life which has been molded into the students by the administration with the aid of the faculty is that feeling of warmth which the adminis- tration feels to be the most important for each person. The administration has grown in their importance as the college has grown in its size. This is What helps the college to grow from the inside as the physical plant continues to expand. It is with the sense and feeling of friendship that the administration tries to do its job in regard to the students and in the development of rela- tions with the people of the Wyoming Valley. CLASS HISTORY The basic characteristic of a college education has not changed in the last quarter of a century. It is now that the world is full of relative peace, prosperity, and security that we, the class of 1958, are in college. No one is allowing any of these things to soften him, or to make him a coward. Each one has a spiritual purpose to obtain his college degree. It is this purpose and the way-of-life of Wilkes which has caused the internal growth and strength of Wilkes in keeping with the physical growth of the college. The class of 1958 has a spirit and a feeling of unity which has been exemplified in all of their work. They have done many things which have caused them to have an enviable position in the college and in the community. The spirit, imagination, and enthusiasm have been a tremendous asset in relation to the constructive work which has been done for the class and for the college. The unity of the class was shown at the very outset of their college career by the support of the plans of the class oHicers for the establishment of a class council. The council was designed to strengthen the bond between the class and the college. The class of 1958 has made a permanent contribution to the college in the form of the Memorial Fund. This fund was designed as a gift to be continued by succeeding classes. The students in the Senior Class have been successful as a unit and have also had several outstanding individuals who have helped to make the class a great one in the history of the college and have helped to make the college a well-known institution in the academic world. There is a great deal to be remembered about our four years in college. To remember first meetings, first acquaintances, first classes. The happiness shared at athletic events, the Beard Contest, the dinner dance. There were the happy hours filled with joy and well-being which were balanced by the trying hours when we wondered about our purpose in college. All of these varied pursuits have helped us to realize that we do have a place in the world as college graduates. Whether or not we ever meet after our college graduation we will still have the tangible remembrances of all that which has gone together to make our college days a lasting and memorable experience. This is a great time in which we are being graduated. We shall be able to go into the world with assurance and confidence which we obtained from working as indi- viduals in a class which has worked for the college.

ORCHARD Commerce and Finance CLASS OF F ICERS Iohn Scandale, Ronald Tremayne, Joseph Oliver, Edmund Kotula COMMERCE AND FINANCE The aim of the Commerce and Finance depart- ment is to prepare the students for a position as an effective and efhcient member of society in our competitive economic world. The students who enroll in this curriculum are trained in all the vari- ous aspects of the business world, economics, ac- counting, sales, management, and retailing. In addition to these subjects the student has the op- portunity to take many liberal arts courses in order to acquire the broad, cultural background which he will need to develop a well rounded personality. Thus the student is capable of contributing to so- ciety in an intelligent manner. The students who have been graduated from Wilkes in this curriculum have taken their places in many facets of the business world. Wilkes is represented in the fields of selling, industry, man- agement, accounting, and many others. The Wilkes graduates can compete with the best in their fields. Seated: Mr. A. Bacon, Mr. W. G.

It is felt that it is more important for a teacher to be a well-rounded individual rather than the product of a nar- row, specialized program. The education courses provide the proper classroom tech- niques, and these are applied in the practice teaching period in which the student prac- tices at local schools. A very important and beneficial phase of the Education program is the Education Club, which is a chapter of the Future Teachers of America, which in turn is under the auspices of the National Education Asso- ciation. Under student direction and plan- ning, the club has participated in state con- ventions on education endeavdring general betterment. This extracurricular educational activity complements the organized purposes of the department, providing members with experiences not directly attainable in the ed- ucation courses and giving the ETA. mem- bers an opportunity to function in and be- come acquainted with a national professional organization. The students in this field are fortunate to be able to get their teaching certificates with the additional liberal arts background which makes them qualified teachers and informa- tive and productive members of society.

Secondary Education 28 SCIENCES With the statement iiseek and ye shall find, the students of Wilkes strive toward the truths of science. The students in Biol- ogy, Chemistry, and Physics realize that in addition to their basic knowledge they must learn the practical application. Science in this modern world demands that the student be thoroughly versed in his particular field. Such an opportunity is found at Wilkes. But as we look deeper into the matter we find that there is more than that which meets the eye. In today,s world the scientist must learn to understand man and his contempo- rary world more than at any other time. It is with this in mind that Wilkes strives to give its science students. instead of a purely scientific background, the added liberal arts Which Will enable the student to appreciate human problems facing the contemporary world with regard to science. The biology majors have been given an opportunity which few undergraduates are afforded. They have been given several grants by private industry to further the re- search in the various fields of biological science. Students who major in chemistry are pre- pared for a career which can have many facets. They can take the knowledge which they have obtained about the chemical world in which we live and apply it to research and the advancement of science in general. The physics majors, although they are only at Wilkes for two years, are instructed in the foundations of physics. They add to their knowledge with further study which in their remaining two years is completed elsewhere. Seated: Mrs. E. S. Namisniak, Miss C. H. Bone, Miss B. Leagus, Dr. A. W.

The ethical problems, mental processes, religious importance, and the social aspects of living are incorporated in the philosophy, psychology, religion, and sociology departments. The philosophy department offers each student an opportunity to understand the basic social and ethical problems which have faced man since time immemorial. Students taking philosophy courses are taught the fundamental principles and applications of the Iudaic-Christian moral tradition. The psychology courses are designed to help the students understand the reasons for human activity and the effect of such activi- ties in society. The department offers, in addition to the basic course, advanced spe- cialized courses dealing with specific aspects of psychology. The religion department is an interesting contribution to the Wilkes campus. Since it is impossible to understand our civilization without understanding its great religions, several basic courses of the religions help to foster this comprehension. The program of the sociology department is to help familiarize the student with manis relationship with others in his society. The department has three general aims: to give the student a general view of the field, to prepare students for specialized graduate schools, and to show the relationship be- tween sociology and the sciences. The social sciences could never be complete without this important field. Mr. R. C. RileyePsychology chairman, Dr. S. Vujica-Philosophy chairman, Dr. K. Symmons-Sociology chairman, Mr. I. Kanner.

The aesthetic feeling of the expression is very gratifying for the person who plans and fulfills the essentials of the courses. The music and art departments not only develop the talents of those who are gifted in these fields, but by the offering of appreciation and survey courses they also stimulate the interest of those less talented. The student majoring in music receives thorough background of the entire field with concentrated training and practice on the instrument of his choice. Music Education has been the popular curriculum in this department. ARTS The student majoring in art learns the methods and techniques needed for the mastery of a phase of art and its applications. The student also acquires a background in the development of the various schools and their effects on the evolution of art. Both departments have community afhlia- tions. The Music Department has conducted many cultural programs for the benefit of both the college and the community. The Art Department has conducted special classes which were run in conjunction with various art leagues of Wilkes-Barre. These two departments have more direct commu- nity relations than any other of the college organizations. Standing: Mr. C. B. OlToole-Art chairman, Mr. F . R. Liva, Mr. R. E. Moran, Miss P. 1.

Music Education LAN GUAGE The administration and faculty of Wilkes feel that it is most imperative that each student become as familiar as possible with the English language, and with the foreign languages. This is the reason that the lan- guage courses are so designed to facilitate the greatest number of students. As a result of the English departmental efforts, the average student on the campus is more able to appreciate and efficiently use the language in allied courses. The language department stresses the im- portance of the studenths ability to under- stand a foreign language as it is spoken, as well as the ability to speak it himself. The department uses the oral method in its teach- ing and concentrates on its elementary courses in pronunciation, diction, and un- derstanding. Seated: Dr. A. N. Kruger, Mrs. R. T. Roberts, Dr. F.

The basic working of a country includes its background, government, and finances. These courses are aimed at the student in- terested in the functional working of the country and the incorporation of the physi- cal and cultural aspects in its entirety. The history department aims its program to give each student a broad understanding of how past events influence modern society. In pursuing its aims the department offers the broad and inclusive course in Western Civilization with i an intensive study of American and European history. Political science majors are trained for law school, for careers in public service, and for intelligent citizenship in our country. Stu- dents who take the basic government courses are able to familiarize themselves with our government and the patterns of the major political parties. Economics offers a wide field of study to the student interested in the Hnancial aspects of life. This Held is valuable for the better understanding of the ways in which the Financial world affects daily life. Mr. R. Williams, Dr. H. W. Thatchere-History chairman, Mr. T. L. Con- nolly, Dr. H. V.

The depart- ment also prepares its majors for specializa- tion in higher and more detailed mathe- matics. Wilkes uses a modern approach to the broad fields of mathematics including the allied fields of statistics and logic. One of the reasons for the popularity of the depart- ment and the instructors that eHiciently handle the department is that they have in- corporated the newest approaches in their teaching methods. In addition to the extensive work done in the Field of mathematics, the student who majors in this area of learning also has the opportunity to take enough courses so that he will have a broad, liberal background. Some who have graduated with a degree in mathematics have gone on to positions of teaching. Many students have taken the mathematics and have consequently found their place in industry and other associated fields. These people have become vital fac- tors in the production area of large-scale industry. . Mr. Stanley Wasileski, Mr. R'mEH Miller, Mt. Thomas Richards-Mathematics chairman, Miss Virginia Leonardi.

These courses are nursing education, laboratory and medical technology, and secretarial studies. These courses are designed to give a general education; to give specialized training for the par- ticular work; and to develop an understanding 6f their specialized field. The program in nursing education is designed for the preparation of head nurses, supervisors and instructors in hospitals and schools of nursing. Before the student enters Wilkes to obtain her Bachelor of Science degree, it is presupposed that she has graduated from an accred- ited school of nursing and has completed the state registration. The laboratory and medical technology students take courses which will prepare them for registration and acceptability by the American Society of Clinical Pathologists. In addition to the specialized courses which the student takes in the sciences, the student takes several liberal arts electives to complete her education. The terminal course in secretarial studies is designed to give the student an understanding of the business activities and to give her spe- cialized training for her place as a secretary in the business world.

No matter what he desires- chemical, aeronautical, civil, or electrical-all are available. The engineering student divides his time between the science courses and the practical engineering courses. Wilkes provides a two-year course in engineering, thus building the foundation for future study and specialization. The curriculum also includes some courses which may seem unrelated, but which will give the student a broadened background, the value of which will be realized in later years when he becomes a professional. After completion of the Wilkes program, the student will enroll in a school with advanced courses where he will get his degree. Even with the completion of his formal educa- tion, he is not finished learning about his field, because by its very nature, it is science of advancement. Mr. May, Mr. I. I. Williams, Mr. V. B.

Beginning with the entering freshmen each student is coun- seled with their problems, both academic and personal. When the student becomes a senior, there are job interviews available to aid their future employment. This extensive counseling service is of great benefit to each student, for it gives him an opportunity to becoming better adjusted to college and in preparation for the life which follows college.

The members are some of the most active and versatile students on the campus. The student organizations on campus are dependent upon the council for financial assistance and advice. Com- posed of four seniors, juniors, sophomores, and three freshmen, the group is constantly consulted by the stu- dents and the administration on decisions concerning the students. Under President Edmund Kotula the Council was instrumental in improving the freshmen hazing pro- gram and the students, attitude toward self-governe ment. Their three major social events, the AlLCollege Dance, the Winter Carnival, and the Cinderella Ball were typical of the fine work done by this student or- ganization. 0135mm B. Federer-secretary, E.

WINTER CARNIVAL The Student Council Winter Carnival, the annual mid-semester holi- day, offers the students of Wilkes a period of relaxation and enjoyment before the start of a new term. This year the traditional affair was held at the Pocono Mountain Inn located in the heart of PennsylvaniaTs resort area. A full days program was scheduled consisting of indoor and outdoor activities to please the whims of all students. The winter sports were limited to ice-skating; however, the lack of snow allowed for horseback riding, squash, and basketball. Indoor activities included contests in billiards, ping-pong, shufHe board; and in the evening hours, dancing to the music of the All Stars. Spades are trump. A study in deep concentration.

REGINALD MATTIOLI President Vice President WILLIAM SYMONOVICZ FRANCINE BISHOP Secretary Treasurer jUNIORS The Junior Class is in the position of the assuredness of being an upper class, and the questioning of their place in the world as its future leaders. The satisfaction of being beyond the place of college newness has not caused them to be complacent, but rather wanting to strive ahead to greater goals and desires. They have been a class whose leaders and planners have done the work to aid the class in its prog- ress. The oHicers and the Class Council have planned several social affairs which have been handled very well and have caused a great deal of pleasure for the students of the whole col- lege. This has also been a class who feel great con- cern for their position in the world after they finish their college education with the protec- tion and the authority which accompanies it. They have made their plans from the hopes and desires formulated during their earlier years. These plans have been tempered with the maturity and insight which they have ac- quired as uppervclassrnen in an atmosphere which has afforded them independent thought. The class, its officers, its council, its advisors have all worked together to make the class of 1959 what it is today. Through its work for the college, and its general interest in the college it will be a class with particular distinctions marked in the annals of the college.

The Beacon, our college newspaper, is now in its twenty-second year of existence. The Beacon repre- sents the feelings of the students and the admin- istration concerning campus affairs and development. These views are expressed in editorials and in fea- ture articles. The newspaper covers the scholastic, social, and athletic phases of the college. In addition to these news coverings there are the special features of opinion and expression which give the paper a bal- ance and individuality among college publications. Planning the layout AMNICOLA ALFRED D,ANCA Am'xtant Editor The Amnicola is not just a collection of memories and experiences, it is a record of the progress and development of the college. It is the product of many hours of work, of problems, of deadlines, of re- visions for improvement.

The purpose of the debating group is to stimulate school interest through inter-collegiate debate competie tion, and to develop interest in national affairs. At each tourney a two man team takes the affirmative side of the national issue for Wilkes while two of their col- leagues speak in opposition to the resolution, each team meeting debaters from the various other colleges in the tournament. The squad of four varsity debaters and six novice debaters under the leadership of Dr. Arthur Kruger, English department, finished a very successful season in the inter-collegiate debating competition.

Their blue jackets and gray trouser uniforms lent a distinctive touch to their fine music. Led by director Robert Moran the band produced many lively rendi- tions during the course of the game, helping to incite the spirit of the Wilkes fans. In addition the band performed at such occasions as the Stark Hall dedication, Armistice Day parade, and the pep rallies. t The band also performed at the Parenfs Day program in early May. The semi-classical tra- ditions added to the atmosphere of the occasion. The GirlsT Chorus and the Mixed Chorus are two very fine musical groups of the college.

In addition to the performances at local schools, churches, and colleges, the group has performed at meetings of local civic and charity organizations.

Christmas Vespers 100 SOPHOMORES JOHN MAUHALL RICHARD SALUS President Vice President Returning to school this past fall the Class of 1960 had the usual sureness and overabun- dance of advice for the incoming freshmen. Being quite satisfied with their new title of sophomore they quickly entered into activ- ities and organizations with great enthusiasm. President John Mauhall organized a class council composed of selected representatives to help plan and execute the activities of the class. The Class as a whole was extremely success- ful in the social activities. They were well- planned and designed for the interest and the enjoyment of the whole school. This class has LYNNE BOYLE Student Council JOHN MAUHALL Student Council MONCY MILLER Secretary Treasurer CARL HAVIRA done more during their sophomore year at Wilkes than a class has done for several years. This was due to the genuine interest which each class member has in his class, and even more important, in the college as a complete unit. The sophomores with their determinism and their enthusiasm have added a great deal to the college in their first two years. If this spark continues, the class of 1960 of Wilkes College will be considered as a class which has never lacked in willingness and in their inter- est in school affairs.

FOOTBALL On Saturday afternoon at 1 dclock, the football player enters Kingston Stadium. Passing through the gate, he is hardly aware of seeing the ticket-, Hower-, and program-salesmen setting up for the big game. At two oiclock, he and his mates run through some limbering up exercises and return to the dressing room for some Iast-rninute instructions from head coach George Ralston. After their brief rest, the Colonels jog out to the held behind their captains while the stands roar their approval. Starters loosen their muscles while the co- captains confer with officials and opponents at mid- field. Brief moments later, the crowd is hushed as a player holds his hand high above his head. Whistles blow, the ball sails high into the air on its downfield flight, and another weekis practice gets a public test. Move aside ref. Ronnie is going through! Aha! Dirty Iokes. First row: W.

SOCCER Although the record does not give the full picture, the 1957 soccer Colonels showed tremendous improve- ment over previous squads. Only one of their three losses was by more than a one-goal margin, they won three handily, and were tied once. Under new head coach Jim Ferris, the boys devel- oped into a well-knit unit in rapid order and found several promising newcomers from the lower classes to help ease the shock of losing six seniors. Co-cap- tains Tony Bianco and Ed Masonis, Dave Polley, Tom Jenkins, Bill Lloyd, and Clarence Michael are the graduating sextet who bolstered the lineup with plenty of outstanding work, both defensive and offensive. Returning next year to fight for their starting berths will be Seth Ansah, Maurice Hurley, Bob Payne, Ed McCaHerty, Nick Giordano, Carl Havira, Ioe Mor- gan, Phil Baker, Ivan Pappanicholas, and Pete Perog.

BASKETBALL Finishing with a 14-7 record, best in Wilkes history, the 1957-58 basketball squad presented coach Eddie Davis with his second consecutive Winning season. Although the team was led by co-captains Eddie Birnbaum and scoring ace George Morgan, sopho- mores dominated the team personnel, giving the pic- Little George for we! ture for the next season a rosy complexion. Four of the outstanding sophs performed so well that they were all chosen to alternate as co-captains next year. The four, George Gacha, Fran Mikolanis, Bernie Radecki, and Bob Turley, were the other starters and will share the leadership of the team in the 1958-59 campaign. In turning in their splendid record, the Colonels came close to a post-season tournament bid, but couldnit overcome the Scranton jinx and were elimi- nated in the Mid-Atlantic play-offs.

WRESTLING Coach John Reese1s charges again compiled a fine record this year in continuing to place Wilkes on the map as a leading wrestling school. The Colonel mat- men swept through their matches with only one de- feat to record a very successful season. The grapplers then went on to win the Middle Atlantic champion; ship for the second consecutive year. Wrestling at Wilkes has become one of the most outstanding sports at the college as a team that has compiled an overall slate of 29 wins, 2 losses, and 1 tie in the past three years-a record which speaks for itself. The winning combination of this year was com- prised of Mid-Atlantic Champion Bob Morgan at the 123 post, with Keith Williams at 130. Champion in the Mid-Atlantics, Jim Ward filled in at the 137 posi- tion with Joe Morgan at the 147 post. At 157 was team co-captain and Mid-Atlantic Champion Dave Thomas.

TOWN STRA AYETTE I .1 .r' BASEBALL The most important factor in determining the suc- cess of any team is a good coach, and in this depart- ment the Wilkes baseball team is indeed fortunate to have such a fme and interested mentor as John Reese. As his fine record has shown in the past of having successful teams, the Wilkes fans will have a pleasutable time watching the team in action. The 1958 baseball season, gathering from the pre- season expectations, should prove a fruitful and heart- warming one to Wilkes diamond fans. Opening the season with a good record held over from last year, the Reese trained proteges have a real challenge con- fronting them. There are many well-qualihed upper-classmen who are filling the key positions of the team. The few newcomers and freshmen are filling the vacancies caused by graduation. Cocaptain Ron Rescigno.

The eleventh annual Awards Banquet was held in mid-winter to honor the members of all of the athletic teams on the campus. The Wilkes College athletes were presented trophies in recognition of their fine work on the teams and in gratification for their jobs well done. Individual awards were made to that mem- ber of a team who was chosen by his teammates to be of outstanding ability and sportsmanship. There was one award presented to the par- ticipant in a sporting activity whose contribu- tion was felt by all of the sportsmen to be one of excellence. These men join the ranks of those who will be remembered by posterity as being part of the tradition of Wilkes. THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC WRESTLING CHAMPIONS: D. Thomas, W. Glogowski, I. Morgan, K.

I FRESHMAN CLASS BARRY YOCUM President RONALD CHRISTMAN Vice President The boy becomes a man! The transformation process is sometimes discouraging, sometimes hu- miliating, but never does he forget the activities of being a freshman. The student comes to Wilkes with lvague notions of college life and finds Wilkes as a place to begin on the road to maturity. During his freshman year he learns, as never be- fore, to make decisions. He must discipline himself, adopt new study habits, and adjust to a new type of living. The freshman comes in contact with students from diHerent areas, and learns many facts and much of human nature. Entering into the fresh- man and school activities, the freshman is able to WILLIAM DAVIS Student Council PATRICIA SANDERS . Student Council VICKI KOVACS Secretary AUDREY HUNTZINGER Treasurer start his climb to maturity; thus molding his new life. The class tempered this feeling of newness and wonderment with a newly discovered maturity which was felt by most of the class. Instead of be- ing self-satisFied with this awakening, the class used their new insight to make the plans which have caused the class to be instrumental in many of the school plans and activities. On this process toward becoming a man the class has done well, and should continue to grow with themselves and with the college. FRANK THOMAS Student Council FRESHMAN COUNCIL: Firxt row: W. Davis, A.

It usually runs for a period of about two or three weeks and is terminated by a tug- of-War between the upper classmen and the freshmen. This event is won by the upperclassmen, of course, because they are on both ends of the rope; that is, unless the freshmen end is tied to a tree. The freshmen, during this period, must observe the usual requirements such as cordially greeting upperclassmen, refrain- ing from smoking on campus, making way for Sam Weckesser Gore if he should desire to walk on the sidewalk the some- times doesy, wearing a tie and dink, and doing Other such nonsensical things. uMust you scrutinize me so!

BEFORE CHOOSINC A CAREER Every year at this time, young men and women get serious about this question: what next? Yes, after four years of school, after texts and theories, buII-sessions and books: what next? Where to find the job which will be good enough for a Iife-time? Out of all the phases of American life, which is the right one for me? Where can I find this blend of ingredients: freedom to express thoughts and ideas; a chance to learn and grow; on opportunityto work with people in a vital, ever-changing basic industry? LOOK TO RETAILING . . . LOOK TO DEPARTMENT STORES! Giants of modern distribution, they serve their communities diligently, tirelessly, efficiently. Proud products of the American System, they believe that profits are created through serv- ice and that community service is the result of the activities of many people, working to- gether, thinking together, building together.
