Rummel At this time the cast wishes to dedicate the program to its able director, Doctor Paul Z. Rummel, whose untiring efforts and un- ebbing sweat have placed the actors and actresses in roles best suited to iheir personalities. It is a common tact that only when the show is properly cast can it become a hit; thus much of the sky-rocketing success of this production had it s birth in the dean ' s blue-walled office, mid masses of applications, transcripts, attendance reports, and those extremely popular D ' s. Whether dashing busily around the office digging up nervous breakdown stimuli for Secretary Wherley, or proving his point to his psych class with a personally conducted tour through a local nut- house, he K never too busy to talk over our trials and tribulations. For this and much more we can only say ' Thanks, Doc. 3)aci]uclini ' El. rasrl] icb tptcntbcr 3D, 1945 As a more or less joint dedication, the cast wishes to pause for a moment to remember fondly two members of the class of 1947 who were called from this show in the midst of the first act to take part in a much larger and more important production. We miss Jackie and Dorie very much, and although they could not be present in person to take part in the final activities of the class, they are always present in the thoughts of their classmates. ortB Dean garner ■Eteh J prtl 21, 1946 CO A 1 rfie Production Staff . • . . 7 11 The Story 27 111 The Cast 41 Alt the u ' orld ' s a stage. And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in liii time plays many parts. His acts being seven ages. At first the infant. Mewing and puking m the nurse ' s arms. And then the whming school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping h e snail Unwilling to school. And then the lover. Sighmg li e furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress ' eyebrow. Then a soldier. Full of strange oaths and bearded li e the pard. Jealous in honor, sudden and quic in quarrel. See ing the bubble reputation Even 171 the cannon ' s mouth. And then the justice. In fair round belly with good capon lined. With eyes severe and beard of formal cut. Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and sUpper ' d pantaloon. With spectacles on nose and pouch on side. His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrun shank; his manly voice. Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles m his sound. Last scene of all. That ends this strange eventfu.1 history. Is second childishness and mere oblivion. Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans eversthm ' . ® 3;C€dowixn ' = ' ' The Angels Mrs. VV ' ilfidm McClellan, Walter Ehrenfeld. Ben Lavetan. John Connelly. Dr. Herman Gailey, judson Riich. George Schmidt. Martin Brillhart, Fred Dempwolf. Backing our show is as distinguished a group of men as can be found. Representing virtually all the professions, and the business world as well, the trustees of Y. J. C. are in no little way responsible for keeping the school in contact with the world and public opinion. And since they control the school, financially, we need not say that their helpful hints regarding the running of the institution are given particular consideration. rfie Producer LESTER F. JOHNSON A. B. Dickinson College M. S. University of Pennsylvania At the helm of our supercolossal extravaganza is Lester F. Johnson, producer, and president of the York Junior College. His role as middleman twixt the outside world, as represented by the trustees and the public in general, and the insiders, namely the production staff and the cast, makes him the head any way you look at it. The Director Cretchsn PAUL Z. RUMMEL A. B. Juniata College A. M. University of Pittsburgh Ed. M. Harvard University Ph. M. Boston University Figetly seated in the director ' s chair, we find key twirling, pencil drumming Dean Rummel, who, as director of State of the Campus, is perhaps the member of the pro- duction staff who is in closest contact with the cast. Constantly probing him about how to get the most from their parts, forever seeking his aid in the proper scheduling of their time and activities, the Thespians are indeed dependent upon the knowledge and experience of Doc Rummel. 10 The Stage Manager S lpflC) L.Unn M. Abel With glasses in hand and eon. Michael, on desk. G. M. Ahel (that ' s what the sign says, it says that) sits among his Lucky Strikes for the above photo. As stage manager, or business manager as he is known around Y.J.C., he sees that supphes arc in order for the successful execution of this extravaganza. Properties, costumes, scenery, etc., all pass through his hands before being turned over to the respective staffs for direct use in the production. 11 The Personnel Mr. White and Dr. Shortess GEORGE S. SHORTESS A. B. Johns Hopkins University M. A. Columbia University Ph. D. Johns Hopkins University Biology, Anatomy, Bacteriology JOHN P. WHITE B. S. West Chester State Teachers College Biology Examining the skeleton of a cat with deep interest is the biology, alias the personnel, department of the production. Dr. Shortess and Mr. White, because of their adeptness in recognizing perfect biological specimens preser ' ed in formaldehyde, are the natural choice to recognize perfect biological specimens preserved in leg paint. Envious, hmmmmmm? 12 Department Choosing efficient personel demands the talents of several people; thus Portia Baugher and Ed Rcmshurg aid the doctor and J. P. in their selective service. 13 The Sound Effects HARRY D. BAUMAN A. B. Franklin 6? Marshall College M. S. Syracuse University Chcmiatrx MRS. KATHLEEN 2UMBRO B. S. Penn State College Chemistry MRS. NORMA SEIFRIED Wilson College Clicmislj-v ■thro. Mrs. Seifncd. Mr. Baun In charge of creating the all-important sound effects of our show is the chemistry department, headed by a man who ' s always got his hands in one pie or another around ihe theater. When he s not testing some new mi.Nturc that ' s destined to cause bigger and better explosions he may be found in one of his many other roles: perhaps as freshman class advisor, maybe as faculty member of Delta Sigma, or possibly he may just be reminiscing of his days as advisor to the original Junior staff, or of off-hours swimming or poker-playing with his assistants, of his last mniute rescue of the school ' s first handbook, of the trips with the staff to Syrcause. Philadelphia, Washington, and Lancaster. Yes, for more reasons than one. Sammy of the noise department will be a long time in the fore of many of our minds. 14 Department Aiding the masters in their business of making the big noises behind the stage arc the lab-aids pictured below with Mr. Bauman.

Although Chief Avakian keeps busy throughout the entire performance, part of his group switch bulbs during the first act; while four swing spotlights, etc., in the second act. All in all they are the most ' brilliant members of the production department. 16 rfie Coaches f ow riou) tre«Jn Mrs. Hess end Miss Fisher MRS. NAOMI HESS A. B. Syracuse University A. M.

From the hroad foundation offered by a Shakespearian background, to the speaking and English usage which is so practical in every- day life, this branch of the production is of inestimable import to the rounding out of the finished actor. 17 The DIalectitions MRS.

B B. L. Moravian College S. Carnegie Library School In charge of the show ' s collection of scripts and reference material is Mrs. Ruth C. Pace, who presides over the daily sessions of study that are of necessity a part of each actor ' s life. And realizing that silence ' s indeed necessary for complete concentration, Mrs. Pace is some- times a bit more strict than the budding young geniuses are able to appreciate. Nevertheless, it is to her that we often owe the fact that we ' ve learned our lines on time, rather than simply having spent that extra hour gabbing. She IS pictured below with her right-hand gals: Mary Hyde Butler, Dorothy Preston. Margaret Light, Jean Auchey, Mildred Klinefelter, and Anne Ziegler. 19 The Accountants HALLETT B. HAMMETT A. B. University of California A. M. Harvard University Mathematics THOMAS L. McFADDEN A. B. Juniata College Mathematics An important department of any organization is that which counts the money, and in our show that most honored position goes to the mathe- matics wizards, Hallct B. Hammett (as if Hallet could B. anyone else but Hammett; that ' s his name, isn ' t it?) and Thomas McFadden (no relation to Bernarr). Having trigonometry, geo- metry, calculus, etc. at their command our accountants have thus far been quiie successful at the numbers game. 20 The Musicians Mr Btllmfier. Mr. WooUey.

No melodious task is out of their realm, be it . ' ;traightening out twisted basses and tenors, oboes and bassoons, or eights and six- teenths. The harmony of this production rests on their flat shoulders and sharp intellects. 21 rfie Dancing Masters Mr. Hukun. Mr. Bryant. Mrs. Zumhro FRANK M. BRYANT A. B.

History, sociology, and Bible give us backdrops which influenced the lives of Moses, Charlemagne, and Roosevelt, while psychology which peeps thru the keyholes into the mind, deals with the actual person- alities of these people and many others after their surroundings have had their effect. Thus, the very life-like quality of the scenery is due to the excellent painting of these social-minded artists. PAUL Z. RUMMEL A. B. Juniata College A. M. University of Pittsburgh Ed. M.

Our office force is, in State of the Campus, this usually unappre- ciated group. We want them to know however, that there is hereby decreed an exception to the afore- mentioned adjective, for we do appreciate their plight, and, equally, the many personal favors they have done for us. 26 27 Time: is s - 1 946 - 1947 PloCe: York Junior College 28 Musical Score: From a theme developed by Miss Frieda Gaffney, Class of ' 45 ALMA MATER To thee, dear Alma Mater.

We could have called this Since My College Daje Began or Why Was I Borned? , but we didn ' t. In order to preserve paper, we will attempt to limit our dream of yesterday to one volume. Who said the historian is just lazy? I ' m not lazy. I ' m just dreaming about yesterday. ACT I TO BEGIN WITH, away back in 1945, September 17, there were some fifty-si.x awed, would-be students assembled in the college chapel awaiting the words of the popular headmaster. Mr. Lester F. Johnson. Our anxieties were allayed somewhat, and we began classes with a mighty surge of ambition. COMPLICATIONS AROSE almost immedi- ately. In a joint class meeting the sophomores informed us of certain regulations to be followed by the freshmen (that was us). Each male student was required to wear a green dink, green bow tie, rubbers, to carry an umbrella, and to wear a c;trd on h ' s chest bearing his name, age and preference of nickname. The girls, too, were required to wear name cards, and, in addition, pigtails, white socks, no makeup, and to carry their books in baskets. CLASS METING for the freshmen was called and Anne Ziegler was elected president of the class: Ed. Cozzi. vice-president; secretary; William Goodling, Bennett, boy representative; representative. THE FUN BEGAN when the sophs initiated us very thoroughly at Indian Steps. Several weeks later a Hallowe ' en partv at Camp Ganoga broke the monotony of school routine. THE BIG EVENT of the semester was the Christmas dance held at the Outdoor Club. The committee responsible for this good time on December 19. was composed of John Winter. Anne Ziegler. William Goodling. Frances Wogan and a juke box. Good food and a deep snow highlighted the evening. THE SECOND SEMESTER BEGAN with the addition of approximately eighty-live new Gov- ernment Issue students. It also began minus the able services of Miss Rebecca Shaeffer, English instructress. Mrs. Jean Johnson did quite well in replacing Becky. THE MARDI GRAS on February 14 got off to an early start and continued late. Pajamas seemed to be popular. Fun was had by all, and there was no lack of food. Ed Cozzi was emcee and promoted some barn dancing. Janet Trimmer reigned as queen and was attended hy Virginia Gebert, Anne Ziegler, Joan Koch and Dons Hamer. A FRENCH MOVIE was sponsored on April 2 3 by the Linguistians. The proceeds were added to the collection from the school and sent Wilbur Robertson, treasurer; Robert Joan Koch, girl to the Friends Service Committee for overseas relief. We were very proud of the $400.00 we contributed. The movie was well received and was offered as a precedent for a yearly custom. OPEN HOUSE for the future students of the school was held April 26. They were oriented with the physical aspects of the school and later entertained with a one-act play and music by the college glee club. Dancing and refreshments cli- maxed the program. There is still some doubt as to the contents of the punch which was made in the chemistry laboratory. The program com- mittee consisted of Mrs. Jean Johnson, Mr. Frank Bryant and Anne You-know-who. FULLER LAKE suddenly became popular. On May 27, the freshmen, that ' s us. breakfasted the sophs at the Old York House: and some of the braver of us went to Fuller Lake. Only ten had the courage to face the California Fog that began the day. These ten arrived in the mountains to find a beautiful sun shining and from all accounts a screaming time was enjoyed by all. Two days later the school picnic was held at the same place. The chocolate milk was put in the stream to cool and helped to muddy up the stream as it washed away. Games included swimming, mushball, hiking and dancing. Miss Van Horn doubled as mess sergeant and chaperon and was assisted by Mr. Harry Bauman, Mr. Frank Bryant and Mr. and Mrs. Jean Johnson. The program committee con- sisted of Frances Wogan. Nina Hershner, William Goodling. John Winter and Anne You-know-who. 30 WE SAID GOODBYE to the sophs after their commencement exercises in the pymnasium on May 28. ACT II OUR SECOND YEAR BEGAN in some con- fusion as the faculty tried to fit 399 college stu- dents into a limited space. Finally the 260 veteran students breathed easier as the faculty found places for them all. BEING SOPHS NOW we called a class meeting and elected Joseph Jennings, president; Jean Rost, vice-president: Ethel Minster, secretary; James Bortner, trca.surer; William Chronister and Anne You-know-who, representatives to the student council. THE JEAN JAMBOREE nn October 26 was well attended, and no broken bones were reported. Eddie Debes ' orchestra furnished the music. Paper cups carried the sweet cider and also furnished the ammunition during the early part of the evening. The dance was sponsored by the student council. The committees included Carl Shaffer, Marge Goodson, Jane Wilt. James Bortner. Ethel Minster. Jean Rost and Donald McClosky. A SWIMMING PARTY at the Y. M. C. A. provided a good time on November 2J. Hot dogs, chocolate milk, pretzels and ice cream v, ' ere served. Several of the females present showed promise at the pool tables. PUNCH OF QUESTIONABLE CONTENT was again mixed in the chemistry lab at the semi- formal Christmas dance. Andy Kcrner furnished the dance music and Mr. Wooley led a carol sing. Those present reported a good time. A WINTER PARTY with summer weather wa= held at the Red Lion Country Club on January 24. Those who couldn ' t locate the club were invited back next year. Bowling, ping pong, pool and darnring were indulged in and something new was added in the form of a sliding board. OUR SECOND MARDI GRAS reported one accident: Cussy West strained his vocal cords. It happened on February 13 in the school gym. Anne You-know-who reigned as queen. Wilbur Brandt was the lucky king. This huge success was sponsored by Linguistians. Russell West acted as emcee. Virginia Gebcrt. Marvin Stine and Mr. Wooley entertained vocally. THE LAMBDA SIGMA CHI SEMI-FORMAL at the Outdoor Club on March 7 was also con- sidered a big success. Mr. Bauman, Miss Moran and especially Mrs. Pace appeared to enjoy the evening. A BIGGER AND BETTER spring dance was held at the Country Club. April 25. Informal, free, and girl friends galore describes this gala occasion. Dancing made the hours flee. THE CLIMAX to our college careers m the social field was fittingly held in our favorite mountains at Pine Grove Furnace. On May 2 3 we gathered for a final fling of fun together. Mr. Bryant and Mr. Hulton arranged games, and everyone commented on a good time. THE END of our history leaves a taste of fond recollections. We would not dwell on our parting. Let us say quickly that Sunday, May 2 5, we received our baccalaureate .sermon, and on Thursday evening, May 29, Commencement exercises wrote finis to our careers at Y. J.

Die (note the conspicuously absent K ) to his classmates, and Pop to his two month old junior partner (another douhlecross, Junior ' s a she), this curly-haired chem major is one of the most ambitious sophs ab out town. When he has finished sweating it out in lab over a balky dessicator or swearing softly, yet skillfully, at his calculus, this former sailor (he has the tattoos to prove It) occupies himself accordion-pleating the fenders of Yellow Cabs and motor-bikes. Leisure time, of course, is spent quietly at home with his favorite threesome: Mary, Sandy, and his calculus book.

Having a respect for individuality, he would like to invest in a business and be his own boss. 45 rfie Stars tA. % % AJinj Dover, Pennsylvania LinguwtwJis; Lajnbda Sigma Chi, secretary (s); Bas etha l team, captain (s); Social committee. During basketball season the name is Hoops Beyer. She is little, cute, and begins every conversation with Who? What? When? Where? That cute Dutch accent is real, no fooling, and her sister ' s name is Hudda (Mrs. Beyer says Hulda. but don ' t tell Jean). Jean is a sportswoman fore and aft and maybe daft .but the former star of Dover High ' s basketball team can match anyone from sporting to sparking. Tips to admirers: she dances, swims, plays five hundred, and up and down the river with a passion. Powder Mill Road York, Pennsylvania R. D. 2 De ta Sigma, president (s) , Sophomore cla s treas- urer. Student Council treasurer; J [ewspaper, news- editor (s) ; Physics lab assistant. Though he spent his first year here in the accelerated course, left us in favor of Bucknell in the middle of his sophomore year, and thus was actually only in the class a hall year, many moons will pass before we ' ll forget Jim. His homespun dialect and humor, together with his untiring efforts on behalf of almost every project that came along made Jim one of the gang in far more than one school endeavor. No stoop, in spite of hi- extra-curricular activities. Brother Bortner was a con- sistent member of the Dean ' s list (except for a little calculitic trouble now and then). 46 The Stars 812 Maryland Avenue York, Pennsylvania Delta Sigma, ChapJain (s) : Lambda Sipna Chi. treasurer (s) ; Linguistians, vice-president (f) presi- dent (s); 7 lewspaper, copy-editor (f): Tower, activ- ties editor (s); library assistant. Mary Hyde is the winsome gal from out Maryland Avenue way. She can be seen walking busily through the school library always on the job as president of Linguistians. When not figuring out calculus problems for sheer enjoyment, this math genius finds time to attend quite a few movies. Perhaps the most fascinating thing about M. H. B. is her ability to keep quiet at the correct times, yet she can keep up a thirty minute tcleph.one conversation without the slightest effort. Among her most prized possessions are a gray cat named Skip and a large collection of records. Although many of her discs arc classical. Spike Jones heads her personal hit parade. Delta, Pennsylvania Lambda Sigma Chi, Linguistians, ' as etba team Irresistable Margee is a practical joker and likes nothing better than proving it. However, she is dignifiec! and quiet when the occasion demands. Horses, horses, horses is the theme song of this beautiful, brown-eyed co-ed who hails from that foreign territory of Delta (Down by the Mason-Dixon line, that it). Not only i= she mad about horses but works hard to convince others that they, too, can learn to love the beasts. She eats at any hour, on any occasion, and needs no tempting. Sovv ' crs ' has considered dedicating a booth to her, she brings in so much business. 4V The Stars 912 West Kmg Street York, Pennsylvania Delta Sigma; Sophomore boy representative; Tower ( ); J ewspaper contributor; Might janitor; Chemistry lab assistant.

Mike ' s a good kid, although it is observed by some that so early in life he is suffering from a bad case of cynical influence. He is a student of note, a born organizer, and an avid Russ Morgan fan. His interests are many and varied, beginning with Ethel and running to such things as psychology and Russ Morgan. The Tower is one shining example of his industry, and a year book can be so much fun when done with the one you love. Mike is hoping to be one of the better journalists that fill our better papers with the better type of writing (better something, anyway). 48 The Stars 1110 South Pine Street York, Pennsylvania Lambda Sigma Chi, Delta Sigma (s) : Glee C!ub (a), Class Poem. Long, golden locks and a top notch personality are the chief attributes of our piano playing business woman, who claims insurance work is her goal, but still beats out a mean Temptation on the ivories. An agreeable But definitely punctuates her conversations, except when the words Let ' s get a coke push ahead of it and she pushes ahead toward Sowers .

There is hardly a question for which Joe can ' t give some kind of an answer — must be the Irish in him.

What happens to the stage villains, chorus girls, the heroine and the hero when the season is over and the show is closed? What will happen to the players who had bit parts in this show? Will they go on to starring roles? And will the stars continue in their leading parts ? We have seen the show and call it a walloping success. Sometimes it seemed that it would flop, then along came some comedian or character to make us laugh Occasionally a little tragedy was intrriocted. but not enough lo say that the entire production was tragic It was like a Dagwood sandwich, a little of every thing was in it. but the final taste was delicious. Now we will predict that these actors and actresses will have future successes. We expect that many will play difTerent roles than the ' 47 production offered Some will become glamorous stars, others will always be supporting players, who have no desire for the spotlight. But star or bit player, all will continue in the big show of life. Our own president, Joe Jennings will turn over the city of Red Lion and cleanse its soil of nitrogeneous wastes. We think he will keep his red hair, hut to pdd to his mous- tache there will be a beard — just for that final touch. Rev. F. John ' s L Penna., The comi The Need?

CURTAIN CALLS (The players rearrange ihemselves inio groupings from the play) 69 student Council President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Advisors Joseph Jennings Jean Rost Ethel Minster James Bortner Robert Hulton Kathleen Zumbro With a gavel in his hand and determination in his heart, the president of the sophomore class took his pla ce at the head of the student governing body in the fall of 1946. He was shouldering the greatest task which any council chairman had yet undertaken in the history of York Junior College. With the largest student body since the beginning of the college, the council became an organization of great importance. Through their representatives the many freshmen and sophomores have had an opportunity to make known their suggestions for a bigger and better school year. The collegians are represented in the Student Council by their class officers. The sophomore class chiefs automatically become the council officials. 70 Jr,, Alias Junior Realizing that even once-a-month news is stale enough, the monthly CoUegian of previous years was dropped this year in favor of a smaller, bi-weekly paper simply titled jr., denoting its smaller size, junior college parentage, and, though unintentionally, its small staff of about a half dozen active journalists. This runt rag defied all school tradition, and was not only published bi-weekly, but also came out On time. Every t.me; none-the-less, a certain fact.on in the school, composed of a few students and a teacher or two, decided that because the names of at least a majority of the students didn ' t appear in the masthead the paper didn ' t represent the views of said majority, m part.cular, the veterans (they overlooked the fact that two-thirds of the active writers were, themselves, veterans). Thus, Jr. got itself a new management, was rechristened junior, and up until the fourth revamped issue, at least, became a little lax in its heretofore rigid schedule. The new bosses, who are in reality the same staff as before except for the absence of the key personnel, are at this writing, struggling along with the same overall cooperation as was had by the first group.

If this massive structure were to come to life and to speak, what strange, fascinating events it could reveal! Beneath the watchful gaze of this symbol of strength we have worked and we have played. Thus in its namesake, the college year- book, are reflected our triumphs and defeats during our days at Y.J.C. The Tower, which is published each spring by sophomore students, presents a pictorial record of two memorable years of our lives. In fact the purpose of this publication, the 1947 issue of the Tower is to preserve for graduating students the highlights of their college daze. 72 Handbook Co-cditors: Michael Dcckman and Ethel Minster With approximately three hundred and fifty greeners stumbling through the door the first day of school, an informative handbook was deemed necessary for giving the frosh the inside dope which tends to keep Doc Rummel ' s office clear of unwitting offenders. Upon the shoulders of Minster and Deckman was thrust the job of compiling the info, making it readable, and pestering the business men of York for money enough to finance the printing. After a whole month of practically endless effort (nervous breakdowns forced them both to the shore for a rest cure), the first handbook of the York Junior College was published in time for a free handout at the first assembly. 73 Footlighters President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Advisor Robert Boyer Ann Ziegler Carl Rasmussen Mrs. Lora Meisenhelder Young and ambitious, the footlighters society provides an outlet for the pent-up dramatic talents of many collegians. Although the youngest society in the school, the Footlighters play an important role in the college year. On the evenings of March 18 and 19, the curtain went up in the college chapel on Three-Cornered Moon. This production, which was the major dramatic event of the year, was staged by this group of Thespians. Mrs. Lora Meisenhelder, advisor to the organization, directed the play. 74 Glee Club a I Director-— Ralph C. Woolley Soft, melodious strains drifted from the chapel one iinc autumn day. What ' s up? asked one curious collegian of another. Oh, that s the glee club practicing, was the proud reply. The former ' s curiosity was very well satisfied when one morning during a chapel program, the mysterious voices which floated from behind closed doors two hours each week, made their debut before the student body. Under the leadership of Mr. Ralph C. Woolley, this group prepared and presented a yuletide program. In addition to utilizing their talents before their fellow students, the college nightingales have entertained various civic groups. Delta Sigma iMiiliil First Semester Second Semester President James Bortncr Jean Rosl Vice-President Michael Deckman William Martin Secretary-Treasurer Ethel Minster Norma Emig Chaplain Kenneth Myers Mary Hyde Butler Harry D. Bauman Harry D. Bauman Faculty Members John P. White John P. White Dr. Hildc Jaeckcl Hallett B. Hammett The object of this society shall be to promote scholarship and to provide an opportunity for its mem- bers to expand their knowledge and interest in the Arts and Sciences. Thus states the second article of the constitution of the Delta Sigma Honorary Society. In addition to its educational values, Delta Sigma has its social assets. The first Monday in each month finds the schools honor students dining out at a local eatery, where a program and after-dinner conversation supplement the all-important factor of food. Membership in this society is attained purely on a scholastic basis. A B-average has been set up as the goal for all students to reach and maintain in order to become and remain Delta Sigs. New members are welcomed into the society at the end of each semester. Highlighting the activities of the group are trips to various cities to attend dramatic productions and see the sights. Participating in the activities with the students are three faculty members elected by the society itself. 76 Lambda Sigma Chi President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Advisor Virginia Gebert Ethel Minster Jean Beyer Mary Hyde Butler Mrs. Ruth C. Pace Strictly feminine, Lambda Sigma Chi occupies the honored position of Y. J. C. ' s only sorority. Each fall wide-eyed freshmen femmes appear before the sorority sisters in hopes that they too may become members of this social circle. Once the wishes of these young ladies have been fulfilled, they enthusiastically enter into the activities of the Lambda Sigs. They, together with the old members, meet each month at the home of one of their sisters for a business session and social liour. The outstanding event of the 1946-47 sorority year was the semi-formal dance at the Outdoor Club. This affair, which was open to the faculty, students, and friends of York Junior College, was under the spon- sorship of the Lambda Sigma Chi Sorority. 77 Linguistians President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Chaplain Advisors Mary Hyde Butler Virginia Gebert Ann Ziegler Jean Beyer Dr. Hilde Jaeckel Dorothy Moran Four years ago a group of aspiring young linguists formed a clan whose chief aim was the promotion of both interest in languages and good fellowship among the students of Y.J.C. The society founded by these young spokesmen of French, German, and Spanish was appropriately tagged Linguistians. To be eligible for membership into this group, the freshman or sophomore must be a member of a language class of the college and possess a desire to further his knowledge of the customs and languages of pcop ' e of far-away lands. Highlighting the activities of the Linguistian Society is the sponsoring of the annual Mardi Gras. This event, which is held in the college gymnasium for the entertainment and enjoyment of the faculty, students, and friends of the entire school, is both planned and presented by Linguistians. The presentation of a foreign language movie each spring is also a traditional activity of the young ling- uists. Parties and programs for members only at the regular monthly meetings complete the roster of the doings of Y.J.C. ' s language society. 78 s P°S s Jumpi ng Seqiienre front the Basketball Ballet UNIQUE DANCE ROUTINES directed by TERPSICHOREANS BRYANT and ZUMBRO 79 The Flying Dutchmen HATS OFF! ! ! In behalf of the administration, students and followers of Y.J.C., the Tower stafl extends its heartiest congratulations to Coach Bryant and his Flying Dutchmen on completing the most successful basketball season in the short history of the York Junior College. By winning 21 games in 2 5 starts our own Bryant- men amassed an impressive .840 average for all games played this season and gained the distinction of being crowned first champions of the newly-organized Pennsylvania Junior College Basketball league. After stopping Altoona, Elizabethtown, Hershey, Hazellon, Bucknell, Alumni, Schuylkill and Elizabeth- town, in that order, the Flyinng Dutchmen dropped their first contest of the season to a strong Gettysburg J.V. quintet by a close margin. The Bryantmen reentered the winning column by downing Mercersburg and Ha:elton and then hit what proved to be their only slump of the season. Schuylkill and Susquehanna caught the Dutchmen in ofT-form and handed them two consecutive setbacks. York caught their second breath and rolled through the remainder of the schedule in grand style. Gettysburg proved to be the Big Green ' s only thorn in the remaining season. December 7, 1946 YORK 5 ;— ALTOONA U. C, 21 After getting off to a slow start Coach Frank Bryant ' s charges found the range and walloped Altoona Undergraduate Center by a 55 to 21 count. York opened its season before 700 fans. December 11, 1946 YORK 64— ELIZABETHTOWN 29 York took the lead in the opening minute of phiy at Ehzabethtown and the issue was never in doubt as the rangy Flymg Dutchmen humbled their opponent by a 64 to 29 margin. December 14, 1946 YORK 66— HERSHEY J. C. 28 York gained its second league triumph in a row by subduing a weak Hershey team on the local court, Zeno Lcntz.

C. 5T Engaging in a brilliant second half rally to tie the score at ?2 to 52 York roared on to a 68 to 5 5 decision over Hazelton U. C. on the latters court, giving York its third straight league victory and fourth consecut vc victory of the season. December 18, 1946 YORK 49— BUCKNELL J. C. 26 Continuing to show its heels to the opposition York surged ahead to capture its fourth consecutive league contest gaining undisputed leader.ship of the league. Stre-e-tcli . ' ! ' . December 20, 1946 YORK 58 — ALUMNI 25 Enjoying a romp with a group representing the alumni of the college and of Y.C.I, teams of yester- year, Y.J.C. turned in an easy 58 to 2 5 decision, thereby extending its winning streak to six games. December 21, 1946 YORK 56 — SCHUYLKILL J. C. 33 Superb defensive and offensive play on the part of Red Bock and the hoop-npping of Art Lentz gave Y.J.C. an easily won verdict over Schuylkill J. C. Schuylkill dropped it ' s fifth consecutive con- test. January 8, 1947 YORK 66— ELIZABETHTOWN J. V. 40 York found the E-town reserves an easy mark. Snyder, Lentz and Enders, each contributing ten or more points, gave Y.J.C. a sufficient lead at the third quarter that the second squad finished the game. York gained it ' s eighth victory. January 10, 1947 YORK 36 — GETTYSBURG J. V. 37 A field goal by Red F issel, former Gettysburg High star, in the last fourteen seconds won the game and climaxed a G-burg rally which started with York ' s enjoying a seven point lead only 5 minutes from games ' end. York ' s first loss in 9 starts. January 11, 1947 YORK 65 — MERCERSBURG ACAD. 44 ■With a 29 to 28 lead in the third quarter the Flying Dutchmen dropped 6 field goals on 2 fouls which left Mercersburg in the wake of a 65 to 44 score. 81 January 17, 1947 YORK 56 — HA2ELTON J. C. 37 After a slow first quarter York rallied to subdue a formidable foe by a 56 to 37 margin. This was York ' s second triumph over Ha;elton. January 18, 1947 YORK 43 — SCHUYLKILL J. C. 54 In playing a team which they had beaten pre- viously by 56 to 3 3 score. Y.J.C. showed it ' s worst form of the season by dropping a 54 to 43 en- counter on the Pottsville High court. Berkley netted 18 points for the opposition. January 31, 1947 YORK 49 SUSQUEHANNA COLLEGE 55 Running into a team which displayed uncanny accuracy from the foul line Y.J.C. dropped it ' s second straight game to the tune of 5 5 to 49. Snyder led both teams from the field with 14 tallies. YORK 59 February 1, 1947 WILLIAMSPORT-DICKINSON Led by Lanky Russ Snyder ' s P.J.C.L. record smashing 32 points, Y.J.C. strengthened their hold on second place by downing the Gold and White seminary quntet from Dickinson by a 59 to 45 margin. February 7, 1947 YORK 76 — BULLIS 37 In the roughest contest of the season Y.J.C. dropped an overly aggressive Bullis quintet by a 76 to 37 count before 600 fans on the home court. Red Bock and Russ Snyder contributed enough points collectively to capture the fray. York gained Its twelfth victory in fifteen starts. February 8, 1947 YORK 53 — HERSHEY J. C. 41 Paced by Joe Biros, Russ Snyder and Tom Fitz- gerald, the Big Green captured their second win of the season from the Chocolate Town Junior College with a score of 53 to 41. With the score dead- locked at 37 to 3 3 at the end of the third period York found it ' s stride to outscore the Hersheyites by twelve points in the last quarter. YORK 49 February 14, 1947 WILLIAMSPORT-DICKINSON 44 Capitalizing on a 22-point scoring spree in the second quarter and continuing at a torrid pace throughout the remaining period, Y. J. C. ' s Big Green racked off their fourteenth victory of the season, by downing a strong Seminary agression with a 49 to 44 ending. YORK 42 February 15, 1947 MERCERSBURG ACADEMY 31 Brilliant goal-tossing by Dick Enders and John Chiappy during the fourth period aided Y. J. C. in handing Mercersburg it ' s third loss of the season. York won 42 to 31. The invaders had an 8 and 2 record. February 22, 1947 YORK 56 — BUCKNELL J. C. 34 The Flying Dutchmen gained their sixteenth vv n in nineteen starts by downing Bucknell invaders on the local court.

York added another win to its already impressive record to make it seventeen victories in twenty-one starts. March 8, 1947 YORK 5 5 — ALTOONA J. C. 50 Completing its regular season in grand fashion, York stopped a much-improved Altoona Under- graduate Center in B ' air County by a 55 to 50 margin. Altoona, without a single league w: ' n this season played fire-house ball against the Dutchmen. They held a large advantage over Coach Bryant ' s charges by being accustumed to the small 60 x 30 Y.M.C.A. court where the contest was staged. York had a most remarkable night from the field in dropping 23 goals in 47 tries. 82 ' :a ' - H ' tK GEARHART — Dave — Co-capta:n — Good on set-shots — Coolest player.

Contenders for the Western crown were DuBois, Altoona, Johnstown and York. Those bidding for the Eastern crown were Ha2;elton, Wil- Hamsport, Scranton, Schuykill and Buck ' nell. York entered the tournament as the favored team of the Western division despite the eight to nothing record of DuBois. In their bid for the Western division title York drew Altoona for their first game. Altoona, although hav ' ing a very poor record, offered stiff com- petition. The Big Green emerged from this game with a 69 to TO margin. Chiappy, Bock and Snyder led the scor ' Don ' t Fence Me In 87 Shoot! Shoot ing column while Gearhart was out ' standing in his defensive play. York moved on to meet the winner of the Johnstown-DuBois game which proved to be Johnstown. Engaging in their second contest of the day York toppled Johnstown by 68 to 40. York thus be came Western division champion. They now had only to contend with Hazelton, the winner of the Eastern division for the tournament title. The scene then shifted from Altoona to York for the championship battle with Hazelton. In the lead for the onlv time during the contest when it clicked off the first field goal, Hazelton tallied only three field goals while York netted 8 by the end of the first quarter. Drop ' ping shots into the hoop from all angles of the court with uncanny accuracy, Coach Bryant ' s charges extended their lead to 39 to 24 at half time. The final whistle found the Flying Dutchmen on the long end of a 66-44 count. Snyder, Bock, Chiappy and Gearhart paced the Big Green attack while Appichella and Riley led Hazelton. The Charles F. Polack trophy was Time Out For a Pic -up It ' s Ours. A!l Ours! presented to Dave Gearhart and John Chiappy, co-captains representing the victors. York was appropriately awarded three berths on the P.J.C.L. All-Star team and narrowly missed a fourth when Dave Gearhart tied a DuBois player for that spot. The result of a recount gave the berth to DuBois due to the fact that York had already placed Chiappy, Sny- der and Bock on the team. Red Bock was elected special honors in receiving the nomination for captain of the AU- Star squad. Box score for the Hazelton- York tilt was as follows: HAZELTON YC mK Appichella. f 6 5 n Gearhart . . .f 4 8 Rilty f 6 3 15 Campbell . ..f 1 2 Williams .. .c 1 1 Collier . . . ..f Barnes . . . .c Fitzg ' ld ... . .f Durbak ...g 2 2 6 Biros ..f 2 2 6 Maday . . . .g Enders . . . ..f 3 3 Riordan . . .g 1 5 7 Snyder . . . . .c 7 6 20 Seifricd . . . .c Bishop . . . . .c Bock • -g 7 3 17 Chiappy . . • -g ■i 10 Reichley . • .g Sterner . . • •g Totals n 14 44 26 14 66 Hazelton .... 6 18 9 1 44 York 16 23 11 6—66 Hey Ref.

Their total of wins and losses comple tely outshone last year ' s final results of wins and losses galore. In joining the other athletic teams of the school in the end of the year banquet, the girls proved conclusively that they are a definite part of the sports schedule. Y. Y. Y, Y. Y. Y. Y. Y. Y.

A school of a dozen finmen swam to the call of Kingfish John White. Freestylists Wib Brandt, Ed Gailey. Jim Holland, Bob Mecklcy, Ben Mosser, Leon Spangler, Ed Rcindollar: Breststrokers George Schenk, Dick Wilson; Backstrokers Dale Hcathcote, Dave Hurst and Irish McCloskey started the season with a meet with the West Chester State Teacher ' s College freshmen. Our comparatively inexperienced team was defeated by a score of 41 to 2 5. Due to a late start, the only other meet arranged was the championship of the Pennsylvania Junior Colleges, the participants of which were finally narrowed down to York and Hershey. Thus Hershey became the championship team of the Keystone State. 92 Intramural Volley Ball For the first time in the history of York Junior College a regular intramural volleyball league was formed for the pleasure of the students. Six teams signed up for competition. The merit of play was very good and competition among the teams was keen. The Hanoverians and the Nittany Lions wound up the season tied at four victories and one loss each. In ihc playoff, the Nittany Lions, pictured above, emerged victorious and were proclaimed volleyball champs of Y. J. C. 93 Intramural Basketball Basketball played an important part in the interest of the students of Y. J. C. during the 1946-47 season. Not only did they have a state championship team to be proud of, but there were some very fine intramural games that commanded the attention of the students. Each Wednesday the bleachers were well populated with fans who came to cheer their favorite team. Eight teams entered competition and the caliber of team play was most exceptional. The season opened on January eighth and ran through the middle of April. At no time during this period was there any lack of interest among the participants. There were many interruptions of the schedule, due to the fact that the Wednesday chapel programs were held at the same time as the scheduled games. But this was only an incen- tive for further play. Coaches Frank Bryant and Robert Hulton donated their services as referees for the con- tests and did an admirable job of calling the games. Sportsmanship among the teams was ex- ceptional and at no time was there any in- dication of an outbreak of hostilities between the active members. The following teams and players comprised the first intramural basketball league of our school of the Green and White. NiTT. NY Lions — Megonell, McDowell, Weeber, Forney, Bittersdorf, ShuU, Delle, Grove, Meyers. SoONERS — Contino, Cocklin, Brenneman, Davis, Small, Kirkland, Holland, Smith.
