Text from Pages 1 - 100 of the 1943 volume:

Tke-Ti ou et 1943 PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF YORK JUNIOR COLLEGE YORK • PENNSYLVANIA Totewotd With the graduation of its first class, York Junior College completes the second year of its existence. In this book, it has been our purpose to give to you, the reader, a record of all the work — and play — that has taken place in these two busy, forma- tive years. As you page through this pio- neer volume of The Tower, may your in- terest and enjoyment be as great as the en- thusiasm and effort which the editors and staff have expended in compiling and pub- lishing it. Towering, a student of the sky; Jutting toward stars and clouds, Blueness and birds. Learning the snap of electricity From dashing dapper Lightning And viewing the Law of Thunder. Lashed by high winds, Loved by soft winds. Mingling with all the goodness So much above us. Reaching for all the truth We forget to find.

A college year book serves as an effective medium to preserve pictures of college life and to record from year to year college traditions and history. This first edition of The Tower will always stand as a memorial to the pioneering spirit of the first class to graduate from York Junior College. Your appreciation of opportunity for two years of College in your home community, your acceptance of responsibility in promoting the first student organizations and activities in a new college community, and the outstanding leadership displayed in the execution of your duties, are evidenced by the successful production of your first college year book. This was accomplished at a time when over sixty percent of the male members of the student body answered the call to serve in the armed forces, and when consequently many reorganizations of student groups and adjustments in student programs were made necessary. The Tower signifies height, ideals, and expansion of view point. May your two years spent in York Junior College prove a real tower to each one of you. A liberal education should free you from narrowness of thought, superstition and selfishness. A broader vision and more wholesome outlook on life should now be yours because you have reached higher levels where your view is expanded. It is our hope that you have secured not only some of the more basic fundamentals of higher education, but that in so doing you have discovered self — your limita- tions and capabilities. If you have gained direction and motivation in your association with us, then we, your co-workers, are satisfied that your progress and success will be continuous in your new associations and environments. That you be able to make adequate adjustments in your new environments, that you con- tinue as constructive workers and useful citizens in the larger community that you will enter, are the best assurances for happy and successful living. May all of you enjoy happy lives and a goodly measure of success. Sincerely yours, Lester F. Johnson Page 13 LESTER F.

C. Its beauty is emphasized by the warm blue sky brushed lightly with soft clouds. As we stand in the warm sunshine we raise our heads with pride to gaze upon its haunting beauty. It seems rather sig- nificant and inspiring to a Junior Colleger because of its apparent firmness and forti- tude and yet it seems to be enveloped in a veil of tranquility which is comforting. As a delicate breeze wraps us in this satisfying peace we feel that if our lives and ambi- tions could be molded as firmly and as se- curely as our tower is constructed; if we rise to success as our tower ascends to its heights; if we possess peace and tranquility for years to come as it does, we will have accomplished some of the greatest goals in life. Thus we can see what the tower means to students at Y. J. C. It has become so significant that the first yearbook on the college has been christened The Tower. The theme of this publication is Char- ter Members and is under the editorship of Mary Jane Yohe and Wendell McMillan. It has been dedicated to our president Mr. Lester F. Johnson who has so admirably advanced its purpose. It has been our sin- cere hope that through the years each stu- dent will be able to look back on his days at Y. J. C. with the help of The Tower and feel that they were days which were filled with many pleasant experiences which he will cherish for years to come. Under the leadership of Mary Jane Yohe and Wendell McMillan was a staff com- posed of the following: Business staff — Dorothy Leeper, Curtis Allison, Dorothy Ann Jenkins, Dorothy Crone, and Dorothy Sneeringer; Literary editors — Lois Mc- Williams and Bette Jane Metzler; Person- nel editors — Betty Jane Swartz and Lois Gilbert. Rebekah S. Shaeffer, English professor, is faculty adviser. Pare 37 Left to Right, Seated: Lois McWillian Standing: Mary Jane Yohe, Dorothy „ois Gilbe ietty Ja Ann Je artz and Dorothy Crone. Audria Stinger, Wendell McMillan and Curti: The JJotk @oLLeaian Tell a millionaire to burn his wealth and calmly forget the matter. Tell a musician to give up his music and find escape en- gaging in some other capacity. Tell an editor to fo rget and disregard the great en- thusiasm and satisfaction he enjoyed when publishing his first newspaper. Impossible? Yes, these statements are quite impossible, but many would question the fact regard- ing the editor. How could an editor be compared to a millionaire or a musician, they would ask. The answer is as obvious as these statements are impossible. Wit- ness the last minute rush which takes place before the dead-line for news, or the ex- cited snap of the typewriter keys as one prepares the copy, then later, the steady click of the linotype printing the articles on galleys and finally the mightv roar of the presses which produce the finished prod- uct. This is music! Music to an editor or journalist. He alone experiences this feel- ing of fascination as he watches his dream turn into reality. Oh, ves, his wealth? Watch the enthusiasm which which the paper is received by the students, listen to the remarks of appreciation and encourage- ment he receives from others or notice the unending satisfaction he experiences by knowing he has accomplished something which he has set out to do. This is his wealth! A payment which is lasting. A payment which he alone can receive and which no one can take away. To make a success of a project of this character a person is needed whose ingen- uity and perseverence can far outride other traits. A person who is willing to place all his efforts toward making a success of a truly tedious undertaking. Yes, York Junior College was privileged to have such a person in its Freshman class, Bette Jane Metzler. Her courage and initiative, which were so nobly advanced toward makingTHE York Collegian an outstanding success, will never be forgotten. It wasn ' t an easy task and with an inexperienced staff under her supervision the job was made even more difficult. But with these obstructions in view, we still had the publication of The Collegian. Mr. Walter B. Kelly was chosen as faculty adviser and with his capable guidance, she was able to direct The Collegian and staff through the formative issues. It was with great regret that the staff accepted her resignation as editor-in- chief. Miss Metzler ' s place was then filled by Robert W. Olewiler under whose di- rection the first six-page issue was pub- lished. In this issue was printed a full page listing and illustrating all activities of the Junior College. The next edition was the celebrated alumni issue in which members of the Alumni Association and the Board of Trustees told of the Junior College promotion plan; how this estab- lishment furthers education in York and vicinity; a complete plan for the sopho- more year set-up; and a description of the new gymnasium auditorium. This was truly a big event in the history of The York Collegian. To add to the above articles a complete synoposis was made of all the activities and progress made by the Junior College during the year. To climax this first year of journalism the final issue was dedicated to the senior class of the Y.C.I. Secondary school. In it was published ar- ticles concerning all activities of this class, and short character sketches of each stu- dent. At the close of the year, Wendell McMillan was elected editor-in-chief for the coming school year and the position of associate editor was filled by Mary Jane Yohe. And thus the first successful year of publications was completed and with the following fall another was ready to begin. Under the leadership of the new editor and the direction of the new adviser, Miss Rebekah S. Shaeffer, The Collegian was published regularly throughout the year. Its subscriptions mounted and the exchange list was widened. Yes, The York Collegian is permanent and will long endure, but as the old saying goes, Give credit where credit is due. It should be directed toward many persons but chiefly to Bette Jane Metzler for her courage and understanding, to Robert Olewiler for his initiative and perseverence and to Wendell McMillan for his cooper- ativeness, dependability, and splendid man- agement.

Zoe Fulton was elected Presi- dent; Dorothv Ann Jenkins, Vice-President and Dorothy Crone, Secretary. A boy ac- tually emerged as the victor for the title of Treasurer — namely Donald Stump. The two representatives were Mary Jane Yohe and Dale Geesey while Dr. Paul Rummel was named faculty adviser. The student council decided to meet once a month to take care of all legislation pertaining to the welfare of the student body with the approval of the faculty board. Turning of the tables was evident this year, 1942-43, when the boys received the majority of votes. Sophomore officers on the student council were: President, Donald Stump; Vice-President, John Getz; Secre- tary, Curtis Allison; Treasurer, Lois Mc- Williams; Representatives, Mary Jane Yohe and Wendell McMillan. The Freshmen officers were: President, Guy Berkstresser; Vice-President, John Bortner; Secretary, Dorcas Gladfelter; Treasurer, Fred Danner; Representatives, Carolvn Pendleton and John Spangler. There were numerous changes during the year because many of our officers were caught in the draft. The changes made were: Sophomore Presi- dent and Vice-President: David Hoke and Dorothv Ann Jenkins; Freshman President, Vice-President and Treasurer: Jo Ann Rob- inson, Paula Concino and Margaret Mary Fitzgerald. The student council played a vital part in arranging the social activities for the two years. The formal Christmas and Spring dances were entirely under student supervision as were also the Information, Please program, the barn dances, the Y.M.C.A. get-togethers, and the farewell party for the boys who were drafted into the armed forces.

J. C. was Lambda Sigma Chi which was organized by the Freshman girls in 1942. The purpose of the sorority was literary as well as social. During the Freshman year the sorority was affiliated with many ac- tivities of the school, some of which in- clude participation in the major production The Importance of Being Earnest, Open House and arrangements for the formal dances. The girls were also active in war work by knitting an afghan for the Red Cross. The officers of Lambda Sigma Chi during its initial year were: President, Eleanor Oberdick; Vice-President, Dorothy Sneer- inger; Secretary, Dorothy Leeper; Treas- urer, Gloria Sipe. It was tentatively de- cided that every girl should be taken into the sorority if she so desired. Miss Edna Cheyney was chosen as the adviser. The second year 1942-43 found Lambda Sigma Chi well on the way toward being a well-organized society. Pins were designed and for the first semester only Sophomore members wore them. It was decided that the officers of the previous school year be reinstated. However, this plan could not be executed because two of the officers, Eleanor Oberdick and Gloria Sipe, were obliged to leave school. Dorothv Sneer- inger then filled the office of President, Dorothy Ann Jenkins became Vice-Presi- dent and Lois McWilliams, Treasurer. Be- cause of the sororitv ' s appreciation of Miss Oberdick ' s noble efforts she was made Honorary President. The activities of this school year in- cluded a Community Sing in which the sorority was privileged to hear Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Schroeder and Mrs. Robert Bellanger in vocal solos and piano rendi- tions. Later the society sponsored a Basket Luncheon at which Dr. Rummel was chosen to be the loquacious auc- tioneer. To top the year ' s activities a ban- quet was given at the Brownstone House and Miss Rebekah S. Shaeffer was the guest speaker. Miss Susan Smith was elected the new sororitv adviser for 1942-43. Page 42 Samuel S mall Jlltetatu Society Mr. Samuel Small has long been and ever will be respected and admired for his founding of the York Collegiate Institute. Just as he has been the father of the school, so he has been the inspiration for the Samuel Small Literary Society. The purpose of this organization is to provide a source of good fellowship and knowledge. At present, all Junior College boys are considered members unless they do not choose to be. The meetings were held every second and fourth Tuesday of each month. This organization was active through- out the vear in literary and social activi- ties. On the tenth and eleventh of April 1942, the society sponsored The Impor- tance of Being Earnest under the direction of Robert W. Olewiler. To supplement the literary program several of the boys participated in a skit which was broad- cast over W.O.R.K. entitled If Men Would Act Like Women. Those parti- cipating were Daniel Street, Harold Stam- baugh, Carlyle Mitzell and Dale Geesey. The social background was comprised of several banquets held at the Olde Yorke House. For each dinner a speaker was en- gaged. Mr. Frederick R. Stably was one of the first of these and his topic dealt with his work and experiences with the in- mates at a reform school in Washington, D. C. At a later meeting Mr. John L. Getz, Sr. told of the historic features of the city of York. The officers of the society during the Freshman year were: President — John L. Getz; Vice-President — Robert Olewiler; Secretary — Harold Stambaugh and Trea- surer — David Hoke. To begin the second year of activities the society held its first meeting at the Olde Yorke House with Lieutenant Robert Scarlett of the U. S. Army Ordnance De- partment as a guest speaker. This year ' s officers are: President — John L. Getz; Vice- President — Donald Stump; Secretary — Da- vid Hoke and Treasurer — William Kline. Vincent G. Matter, professor of History and Sociology, served as the adviser to the society both years. Because of the induction of many of the members of the society, activities have been postponed for the duration. to Right, Seated: Audria Sting tding: Dorothy Ann Jenkins, 1 ckel, Lois McWilliams an. t, Curtis Allison, Dorothy nd Wendell McMilla Jle glut, %oLa With the beginning of the second Junior College year, enthusiastic French students decided to launch the first foreign language society. Le Club Zola was chosen as an appropriate name for the organization in fitting tribute to Emile Zola, who was not only recognized as an eminent French pol- itician, but also as a prominent figure in the literary world. The purpose of the society is to help French students become better acquainted with the customs and manners of the French people, and also to better under- stand and speak the language itself. These goals are to be reached by frequent dis- cussions on assigned topics or by book re- ports and short lectures conducted in French. The meetings which have been conducted thus far have been varied in subject. Students have not only enjoved participating in French games and ques- tion bees but have also presented their various view-points and opinions at a for- um on the question How Will the War Affect France? One meeting was held in the Martin Memorial Library where mem- bers were privileged to listen to recorded musical masterpieces bv the prominent French composers Debussy, Chaminade, and Gounod. Parties have been planned throughout the year to comprise a social background as well as intellectual. The officers of the society are: President, Wendell McMillan; Vice-President, Curtis Allison; Secretary, Audria Stinger; and Treasurer, Harry Channell. There is no limit to membership and any student who has completed one year of French is eligible to join. Le Club Zola meets once a month and each meeting is under the supervision and guidance of Dr. Hilde Jaeckel, who is head of the Foreign Language Department. Dr. Jaeckel lived the greater part of her life in Europe and it can easily be seen that she is a great asset to a society of this character. It was through her untiring efforts that Le Club Zola was able to accomplish its purpose. Page 44 Left to Right, Standing: Carolyn Pendleton, Jack Busier, Dorothy Crone, Cu Seated: Mary Jane Yohe. Pet Goethe vetein n, Dorothy Lecper and Dorothy Ann Jenkii Whenever one hears the name Johann Wolfgang Goethe Verein, it doesn ' t hold much weight; but ask any German student at Y. J. C. this man ' s significance and he will know his complete history. Yes, this is the name chosen for the first German club at the Junior College. May its success be evident and as enduring as the name itself. The purpose of this society is to better ac- quaint students with manners and customs of the German race and to afford some pos- sible aid in the speaking of the language itself. The meetings have been conducted in German and the students enjoyed many activities such as singing German songs, playing humorous games, and working cross-word puzzles. At Christmas time, Le Club Zola and Der Goethe Verein united to enjoy a gala celebration includ- ing the singing of Christmas carols and the devouring of Yuletide delicacies. These societies joined their efforts on several oc- casions, one of which was an assembly pro- gram. The theme of this program was Spring during which many songs of each country, France and Germany, were presented. On May 18, 1943 the clubs held a French-German tea in the faculty room, at which the guests were privileged to enjoy typical French and German deli- cacies. The gathering was held for the members of the faculty and students of York Junior College. Der Goethe Verein meets once a month and is under the sponsorship of Dr. Hilde Jaeckel, who has contributed many bene- ficial factors toward making the organiza- tion a success. The officers which were elected at the first meeting on December 3, 1942 are: President, Carlyle Mitzell; Vice-President, Mary Jane Yohe; Secretary, Dorothy Leeper; and Treasurer, Dorothy Ann Jen- kins. The members of the society plus those mentioned are as follows: Dorothy Crone, Jack Busier, and Curtis Allison. May the future members of Der Goethe Verein be as cooperative and energetic as these have been to promote the success of the society. Page 45 tamatic4 Page 46 J-ittle Women The house lights dimmed and the stage brightened as the curtains parted for this year ' s major dramatization, Little Wo- men. One felt immediately the warmth and homey atmosphere which was staged so vividly by the four beloved sisters. One was made to feel a part of this family whether it be with the loving magnetism of Mrs. March, the kindly gestures ex- tended by the good neighbor Mr. Laurence, the boyish enthusiasm of Laurie or the quiet reserve of Mr. Brooke. Perhaps the suggestive fragrance of the Christmas roses and the soft crackle of the warming fire helped many to feel the nearness of the March home. Yes, we shall always re- member our seemingly short visit with this typical family. The tears we shed at the death of little Beth; the pride and joy we felt at the birth of Meg ' s twins; the sur- prise and gladness experienced at Jo ' s fall- ing in love; the relief felt with the develop- ment of Amy ' s grace and charm; and the contentment shown by Mrs. March at the realization that all her Little Women would be well and happy. The cast included: Jo, Zoe Fulton; Meg, Margaret Lindemuth; Amy, Dorothy Ann Jenkins; Beth, Dorothy Sneeringer; Laurie, Chester Quickel; Mr. Brooke, Wendell McMillan; Pro- fessor Bhaer, William Meisenhelder, Aunt March, Mary Jane Yohe; Mr. March, David Hoke; Mrs. March, Lois McWilliams; Mr. Laurence, Cur- tis Allison; and Hannah Bette Jane Metzler. The play was under the direction of Miss Rebekah S. SheafFer and was pre- sented the 7th and 8th of May, 1943. Page 47 Mlnot PLaij5 All the world ' s a stage and all the men and women merely players. Shakespeare from As You Like It. We, the students of the first graduating class, like to think that we have staged a satisfactory production in establishing a college atmosphere for posterity. Our real- life drama has started from scratch; may we have scratched sharp enough to induce the future classes to dig deep the scratches into wide permanent gullies. Our scenery and equipment haven ' t been a stage man- ager ' s dream, but the campus and the build- ing have grown beautiful because of our deeds, and will remain so because of our memories. We have had the friendly good- will and cooperation of the faculty and community in addition to our own enthu- siasm in making York Junior College a part of York ' s drama in living. Our under- takings while here have been comprised of sincere actions depicting the aims and am- bitions of each personality. To see acting which springs from impersonating imagin- ation, and just pretending we must climb the first flight of steps and turn into the chapel where our students have spent so many hours diligently dramatizing the lives of others. The four minor plays have been good examples of the scratches we have made, and were presented primarily because of the student ' s love for the theater. Although the sets were made up of second- hand furniture and improvised scenery, the results that were obtained were artistically appreciable. These are the reasons that the four minor plays were ear-marks in the history of drama in York Junior College. Dust Of The Road, a one-act fantasy written by Kenneth Goodman, was the first dramatization to be enacted by the initial class. This Christmas play deals with the return of Judas Iscariot each Christmas Eve to save some mortal from selling his soul for thirty pieces of silver. Dust Of The Road was presented as part of the Christmas program, December 19, 1941, annually sponsored by the Y. C. I. second- ary school. The cast of characters was as follows: Peter Steele, Dale Geesey; Prudence Steele, Zoe Fulton; Judas Iscariot, Robert Olewiler; Old Man Wendell McMillan. Miss Edna Cheyney and Mr. Walter B.Kellevwere thedirectors. Two one-act plays were presented during our Freshman year in connection with the speech course offered at the beginning of the second semester. These plays were staged for the sub-Freshmen at Open House. The first play was entitled The Lovely Miracle a fantasy by John Drink- water. The plot of this drama is concerned with a young girl played by Dorothy Sneeringer, who, on the eve of her mar- riage, is visited by a young man enacted by Carl vie Mitzell. He crushes her fears and doubts about the future. Other characters were: The Neighbor Lois Gilbert; and The Mother, Lois McWilliams. The other play Refund, a comedy written by the Hungarian playwright, Fritz Kannthv, centers around a man, Nasserkoph, who has been graduated from high school and returns to the prin- cipal for the purpose of having his tuition fees refunded. The cast included: Princi- pal John Getz; Mathematics Teacher, Frank Hantz; Geography Teacher, Pa- tricia Book; History Teacher, Doris Cook; Physics Teacher, Zoe Fulton; Servant, Wendell White; and Nasser- koph, Donald Stump. Why The Chimes Rang, produced under the direction of Miss Rebekah S. Shaeffer, was the main feature of the Christmas program for this year. The stu- dents taking part in this well-known Christmas play which is based on a me- dieval legend are: Steen, Harlowe Hard- ing; Holger, William Meisenhelder; Uncle Bertel, John Getz; The Old Woman, Zoe Fulton; The Priest, Car- lyle Mitzell; The Angel, Carolyn Pen- dleton; An Old Man, Donald Stump; Lady of Wealth, Adele Athana; Maid- en, Pauline Concino; The Courtier, Dale Suereth; The King, Wendell Mc- Millan; and The Rich Man, Curtis Allison. Page 48 ike 1J mpottance oj Selna £atne5t The Junior College Thespians drifted back into a past century to dramatize and modernize the ingenious farce in Oscar Wilde ' s The Importance Of Being Ear- nest. This trivial comedy was supported with characterizations which varied with brilliance in action as well as cleverly worded verbal quips. The play is satire exploded to a tee, pivoting around the English Aristocracy. As was stated in review, All this added up to delightful theater — three acts of zest- fully zany nonsense carried off with ease and enthusiasm. This was nonchalant eye-brow-lifted farce done to a hilt. The cast of characters were: Algernon Moncrieff, Carlyle Mitzell; John Worth- ing, John Getz; Gwendolen Fairfax, Dorothy Sneeringer; Cecily Cardew, Patricia Book; Lady Bracknell, Lois McWilliams; Miss Prism, Zoe Fulton; Rev. Canon Chausible, Wendell Mc- Millan; Merriman, Donald Stump; and Lane, Daniel Street. The play was presented by Samuel Small Literary Society and Lambda Sigma Chi. on the 10th and 11th of April 1942. It was under the direction of Robert W. Olewiler. J iw- wSU fl ,-f : |i.SS j J 41 1  111. U k- Ik :;  -. i iT L $ uLqq C?Lult and £uattet The first Glee Club at Y. J. C. included twenty-one members who met regularly each week to work not so much for speed as for the fundamentals of singing. This group was under the direction of Mr. E. E. Schroeder and was composed of Lois Gil- bert, Bette Jane Metzler, Gloria Sipe, Dorothy Ann Jenkins, Dorothy Sneermger, and Lois McWilliams (Sopranos). Alto voices were Betty Jane Swartz, Dons Cook, Dorothy Crone, Zoe Fulton, Mary Jane Yohe and Margaret Schriver. Those sing- ing tenor were Dale Geesey, Jack Lease, Wendell White and Paul Gilbert. The bass voices included William Kline, Wendell McMillan, Alvin Stambaugh, Richard Goodling and Curtis Allison. With the beginning of the second year the Junior College was privileged to have within its student body four talented male vocalists. This quartet won recognition for the college singing over the radio, at different assembly programs, and at numer- ous church services. They have also made several recordings which will be kept for the enjoyment of future students. The suc- cess of this group can be attributed not only to the cooperativeness of each one, but also to the admirable efforts of their leader Mr. Paul H. Renton. The quartet includes Jack Busier, first tenor; John Spangler, second tenor; William Meisen- helder, baritone; and Richard Goodling, bass. JQadio Stoadcd5t Listen my friends and you shall hear how one can begin his college career. This was the theme of the skit which was presented when York Junior College made its debut over radio station W.S.B.A. The skit was written by Mary Jane Yohe and was designed to present the advantages of a Junior College to the community. The program was in charge of William H. Kurtz, Esq., President of the Board of Trustees, who gave a short talk on the origin of the school and the goals which were to be reached upon the establishment of the Junior College. At the conclusion of his talk a skit was presented which found a group of students standing in one of the corridors of Y. J. C. discussing the class from which they had just been dis- missed. When two prospective students entered and found that Dr. Rummel (Direc- tor of Admissions) was not in his office, the Junior Collegers took the newcomers into the Boys ' Lounge to better acquaint them with actual life at Y. J. C. They were informed about teachers, courses, and social life so that it became evident that the life of a York Junior College student is filled with varied interests and activities. Left lo Right, Front Rv Second Row: Lester F. Third Row: Jack Busk- Margaret Lindemuth, Mary Ja hnson, Zoe Fulton, William Ku William Meisenhelder, John Spa Those who participated in the skit were Mary Jane Yohe, Wendell McMillan, Wil- liam Meisenhelder, Zoe Fulton, Margaret Lindemuth, Audria Stinger, Jack Busier, and John Spangler. During interludes in the skit, the Male Quartet including Mr. Paul Renton, Wil- liam Meisenhelder, Richard Goodling, and Jack Busier sang Standing In The Need Of Prayer and Intager Vitae. At the conclusion of the skit they sang Old Man Noah and Good-bye My Lover Good-bye. The program was appropriately closed with an address by our President Mr. Les- ter F. Johnson. Mr. Johnson is to be sa- luted as one of the finest men of our com- munity for his many efforts directed to- ward such a worthy project. The Junior College is indeed fortunate in having a man of his integrity and intelligence guiding it through these formative years. We, the first class, will remember the many ad- vantages of a Junior College, but of York Junior College there is one which stands out above the rest, and that is the encour- agement, guidance, and security which was extended to us by Mr. Lester F.Johnson. ne Yohe and Audria Stinger, rtz and Paul R.

Page 52 ja tt Page 53 fZasketltaU Page 54 Eailcetb U Using Captain Dale Suereth, Ernie Horn and Guy Berkstresser, last year letter-men, as a nucleus for this vear ' s quintet, Coach Ralph Tipping molded together a fast- breaking and fast-moving squad which, in spite of its smallness — both in number and in stature — ended the 1942-1943 season with six wins balancing six losses. Al- though nearly always handicapped by the opponents ' height, the Orange and White quintet managed to tally 566 points against their opponents ' 508. Besides the men from last year, the squad was composed of Don Suereth, Marty Paige, John Bortner, Bud Heilman, Bill Kling, Ed Gailey, Rusty Charleston, Jeff Spangler, and Ray Frank. When the season was about two-thirds finished, the team suffered a set-back when Dale Suereth and Ernie Horn were inducted into the armed forces. Although the other members of the squad worked harder than ever to fill these vacant spots, Suereth and Horn were sorely missed. Captain Suereth Opening a season with a game against the alumni of the York Collegiate Insti- tute, the Junior College team won its first victory by downing the Alumni Quintet with a score of 56-26. Although the op- ohn Charleston. Edward Gailey, Donald Heiln Frank and William Kling. th, Guy Berkstresser, John Bortner, John Spangle Page 55 ponent nearly doubled our team in height, the Junior College team more than doubled their score. This first victory was followed shortly with a 65-30 win over the 13th special Service Unitfrom Ft. George Meade. Following these two successful games, the Junior College squad had a losing streak in which they bowed to a team from the York Safe and Lock Company, the 1301st Service Unit, from the New Cum- berland Reception Center and the Hershey Junior College. The Safe and Lock team, composed of many local stars and averag- ing well over six feet, managed to end the game with a 17 point margin. The final count was 48-31. In the first half of the game with the New Cumberland Army team, the lightning moves of the Orange and White team annoyed the bigger team not a little, and Y. J. C. managed to hold its own with the first half 16-15 count in favor of the army. In the last half and especially in the fourth quarter, the sol- diers almost scored at will and at the final whistle the score stood at 56-40. It was in a fatal third period that the Hershey team started to roll, and in spite of the Yorker ' s lead from the first half, Hershey ended the game on the better side of a 55-51 score. Starting their away games with a smash- ing 77-33 victory over Johns Hopkins at Baltimore, the Junior College quintet was at its best. They scored almost at will with Suereth and Horn sharing the scoring honors. The former racked up a total of 29 points, the highest score he or any other individual had during any one game. With a 23-10 score at quarter-time there was never a doubt as to the outcome. Journeying to Gettysburg, the locals de- feated the Gettysburg Frosh team by a score of 48-41. Getting off to a slow start with a 3-point deficit at the quarter, they forged ahead in the second period and never once relinquished the lead. The pace was set by Ernie Horn with 15, Dale Suereth with 14 and Marty Paige with 13 points. The second period also brought its troubles when the veteran forw r ard, Guy Berk- stresser, pulled a tendon in his knee and was benched for the rest of the game. He was ably replaced bv John Bortner. Coach Tipping ' s outfit secured its third straight victory at Carlisle where it de- feated the Dickinson Frosh by a score of 57-55, in a thrilling battle resulting in 3 extra periods. The first quarter saw Dick- inson ahead by a score of 19-9. The Junior College team found the range in the second quarter and closed the gap to just one point of tying the score. The second half was fought on even terms, with the regulation game ending at 53—53- The first extra pe- riod resulted in a 55 55 tie, while the sec- ond period remained scoreless. In the third extra period Bortner sank a two- pointer from under the basket to end the game in a Y. J. C. victory. The pace was set by Ernie Horn and Dale Suereth, who played their last game for the Junior Col- Summettf oft 1942-1943 Seaion York Jun York Jun York Jun York Jun York Jun York Jun York Jun York Jun York Jun York Jun York Jun York Jun or College 56 or College 65 or College 31 or College 40 or College 51 or College 77 or College 48 or College 57 or College 41 or College 42 or College 28 or College 30 Y.

The locals kept pace with Hershevduring the first period but fell behind in the second half. The new team consisted of Ed Gailey at center, Paige and Bortner for- wards, and Don Suereth and Heilman guards. Playing host tojohns Hopkins Freshmen, the Junior College quintet completely ran through the team from Baltimore by a score of 42-24. The game was fairly close during the first three periods with York leading 15-13 at the half and 22-19 at the third quarter. The locals hit their stride in the fourth period and piled up 20 points tojohns Hopkins 5- For their last home game of the season, the Junior College team was trounced by a powerful team from Gettysburg by a score of 43-28. With a completely new and more potent line-up than last time they had played Y. J. C, the Gettysburg aggre- gation had no trouble at any time during the game. The first quarter ended with Gettysburg leading 11-8. This proved to be the only time York was in scoring dis- tance with Gettys- burg. For the final game of the season, Coach Tip- ping and the squad journeyed to Swarth- more College where they engaged the jun- ior varsity in a losing battle. The score at the end of four quar- ters put Swarthmore on the better side of a 30-36 count. 3 Page 57 gitU HaskatUL Page 58 Lejl lo Riebt : Dorothv Leeper, Bene Jane Metzler, Audria Stinger, Margaret Lindemuth, Lois Gilbert, Dorothv Ann Jenkii Jo Ann Robinson, and Dorothy Crone (Captain). (fittf HaiketUl In order not to be outdone in athletics bv the men of York Junior College, a group of the girls banded together under the coaching of Mrs. John Curry and formed a girls ' basketball team. The girls who took an active part in the practice and in the games are Dorothy Crone, Captain, Doro- thy Leeper, Margaret Lindemuth, Dorothy Ann Jenkins, Audria Stinger, Bette Jane Metzler, Doris Anderson, and Jo Ann Robinson. The members of the team practiced sev- eral times each week during the basketball season in the gymnasium of the First Methodist Church. Under the guidance of Mrs. Curry the girls learned and per- fected the fundamentals of the game. Because of transportation and other un- avoidable difficulties, the girls ' basketball team was unable to play out-of-town teams. However, not to be stopped by this, the Junior College team engaged the York Collegiate Institute girls ' team in quite a few scrimmages at the First Metho- dist gymnasium. Next year, providing the new gym- nasium is completed, it is very likely that this team will be carried on with even greater enthusiasm and effort. Let us hope that this rather humble beginning will be the start of a large and active organi- zation.

It ' s a crisp feathery little shuttlecock as it passes from one side of the net to the other in an exciting game of badminton. This is one of the most popular sports in the girl ' s gym program. It can be taken twice a week and the student receives train- ing in form and technique. Not only are single matches played but also doubles are held quite frequently. A tournament is conducted throughout the year with every student taking part. Whether it be in the brisk cold wind of fall or the enveloping warmth of spring, one can always find Junior College golfers dotting the fair-ways and greens of the Grandview Country Club. The sport is taken once or twice a week according to the wishes of the student and is under the instruction of Mr. Jack Cummins who has had much experience competing with top- notch golfers. At the end of the year a golf tournament is held in which every inter- ested student participates and the winner is presented with a medal for sportsmanship as well as form. Pate 61 1 olUyUt Many exciting hours were spent during the life of a Junior Colleger participating in the game of volleyball. This sport consti- tuted the major part of the students ' gym program. Tournaments were held both in the girls ' and boys ' classes. During our fresh- man year the Y.J.C. males were divided into different teams bearing names such as Yale, Cornell, Harvard, and Princeton. Games were plaved throughout the winter with Princeton coming out on top unde- feated. During the freshman year the boys ' coach was Mr. Archie McVicker and the instructress of the girls was Miss Edna Cheyney. However, changes were made with the coming of our second year and we now have Mr. Ralph Tipping serving as coach and Mrs. John Curry filling the position of the gym instructress for eirls. 1 ft 1 ' ..
