BUT WE feel that the graduate CAN TAKE three acquisitions. For two years we have attended classes together. During these two years, many life-long friendships have been nnade. Participation in athletics has taught us fair play. Therefore, THE TOWER of 1949 presents as Its theme: KNOWL- EDGE, FRIENDSHIP, SPORTSMAN- kl. DEDICATION In deepest appreciation for his genial and sincere friendship during our years at York Junior College, we, the class of 1949, dedicate the You Can ' t Take It With You Tower edition to Professor J. Russell Dunlap, whose many and valued legacies we shall take with us. Among many quali- ties, they include his constant willingness to look into, understand and compromise our problems, however small; to initiate, to conduct and to participate in student and faculty activities. Under his influence, the oft- times mustiness of English Literature and Bible classes cleared into refresh- ing and interesting studies, making them favorite subjects for most of us. Finally, we take with us the memory of that Is everybody happy? look twinkling in his eyes. knowlRge •Si . w ' m- PRESIDENT AND Lester F. Johnson President ' s Message: 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. In the years to come this annual will bring back to you vivid memories of friends and classmates, of teachers and experiences and, we hope, will give you much pleasure. To all of you who have helped endow a young com- munity institution with high standards and noble traditions, yours will be the greatest satisfaction as you review the 1949 Tower. Students, teachers, and others have been co-workers in building and estab- lishing post-high school educational opportunities for youth in the community. No restriction has been placed upon race, color or creed. This, as a com- munity project, is a rainbow in the sky of a world torn apart by destructive forces, prejudices, sus- picions, and fears. If your associations and experiences at the York Junior College have directed you toward paths of service to others, where you can build for good- will among men, yours will be a most happy life. This is my wish for all of you. President BOARD OF TRUSTEES Y. C. A. Officers Frederick B. Gerber, Esq President William S.

Sprenkle Philip H. Glatfelter, III William M. Eyster William S. Eisenhart, Jr., Esq. DEAN of MEN Byron W. Hartley The gentleman from Indiana. Our new dean, Byron W. Hartley, hails originally from the Hoosier state, hie comes to us from Dover, Delaware, where he served as super- intendent of schools. Dean Hartley is well qualified for his position, having formerly served as President of Essex County Junior College and later as Dean of Greenmount Junior College in Poultney, Vermont. With this previous service in junior college administrative posts, it is no new experi- ence for Dean Hartley to cope with the problems of original schedules, schedule changes and the numerous duties of a dean. In addition to his administrative post, Dean Hartley conducts two classes in Psychology II. In the classroom and out, his main objective is to teach the student to have all facts learned make sense. His chief schooltime hobby is determining and explaining the origin of words. In his presence, the student learns, unaware that he is being taught. His manner of dealing with student problems is not stern and dictatorial, but lenient and unbiased. Dean Hartley is indeed welcome to York Junior College. His experience and judg- ment are respected by both faculty and students. DEAN of WOMEN Elizabeth G. Wab Mrs. Elizabeth G. Walz was appointed dean of women in November, 1948. Her ap- pointment added many new duties to her already full schedule as librarian. Mrs. Walz ' s main interest is the forming of closer ties between the faculty and the stu- dents. - er ultimate goal is to make college life as interesting and valuable as possible to each student. Our dean received her B.S. degree at Elmira College. She had graduate work at Rutgers University, Drexel Institute and the University of Pennsylvania. At Western Kentucky, she received her library major. Under her supervision, the library has grown from 4608 to 6070 volumes. Mrs. Walz, of all the faculty, is probably closest to the student body. This is due not only to her position with the library and her necessary contacts with students as dean of women, but also because her gracious manner invites many to go to her when trouble arises. She is never too busy to stop her work to talk to students, faculty or visiting alumni. The chief harbor for many visitors is the library, where they always find a smiling welcome to meet them. 15 LANGUAGES SPEECH • ENGLISH • LATIN • GREEK J.

Post Graduate — Columbia School of Library Service, Rutgers University, New Hope School of Art Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art Short Story Writing Reading, speaking, listening and writing are the four communication skills on which the English depart- ment has concentrated its efforts this year. The Freshman composition course is based on these methods of communication. In correlation with Eng- lish 101, a laboratory, in which theme-writing and oral communication are stressed, was instituted during the last semester. All laboratory students were required to take A. C. E. placement tests as a preliminary phase of their lab course. In the field of experiment, the Harvard Reading Films were made available to all York Junior Col- lege students, the purpose being to help each student improve his reading rate and his compre- hension. Plans are being made for more extensive use of the films next year. Our English students leave Y. J. C. with an ade- quate foundation in English due to the untiring efforts of the department ' s competent and hard- working professors. FRENCH • SPANISH • GERMAN Hilde Jaeckel University of Geneva, Switzerland University of Breslau, Germany, Ph.D. Head of Modern Language Department A. Reginald Fink Pennsylvania State College, A.I Spanish The purpose of the foreign language department, v hich includes French, German, Spanish, Latin and Greek, is not only to give the students a knowledge of the lan- guage, but of the peoples and their cultural background as well. This goal Is accom- plished through supplementary reading and movies in the respective languages. There are other worlds to explore through the medium of the literature of these countries. Many of the artistic values of the literature are lost in translation. In the world as it Is now, language barriers must be erased. In teaching the students reading and conversation, the language department hopes to increase their under- standing of the peoples of these countries. 17 MATHEMATICS CALCULUS • GEOMETRY • ALGEBRA Hallett B. Hammatt University of California, A. Harvard University, M.A. Head of Mathematics Department Thomas L. McFadden Juniata College, A.B. Mathematics The York Junior College Mathematics department offers to first- and second-year students a variety of courses designed to meet the needs of those who wish to terminate their mathematical education, as well as the students who will transfer to other colleges and continue mathematics. Under the lead- ership of h allatt B. Hammatt, head of the depart- ment, and Thomas McFadden, the young Einsteins proceed through a series of studies integrated to meet the Mathematical requirements of any institu- tion they might choose after leaving the junior college. Mathematics 101-102 are, respectively, college algebra and trigonometry. These courses are for liberal arts students. Mathematics 103-104 are offered for engineering students and science majors. The first covers both college algebra and trigonometry In one semester, while the second semester course, 104, Includes an Introduction to analytical geometry and integral calculus. Mathematics 201-202 continues and completes the analytical geometry and calculus begun In the 104 course. Mathematics 105-106 was established this year for majors In economics and accounting. It features business theory, banking practices, Interest and de- preciation and similar subjects of Importance to aspiring Rockefellers. TRIGONOMETRY • ENGINEERING DRAWING John M. Cavanaugh Kutztown State Teachers ' College, B.S. Columbia University, M.A. Engineering Drawing Engineering drawing is another means of expression which could be compared to music and the arts. People often have excellent ideas, but they experience difficulty in getting these ideas across to others. Drawing is a definite and a clearcut way to show these ideas. An engineer must have drawing to teach him to put an idea into concrete form. One main division of Engineering drawing is Descriptive Geometry. This subject aids in the development of imagination which is quite essential to competent engineers. An old expression which refers to drawing states that, Drawing is the language of industry. However, the new concept is, Drawing is the language of creation.

Stern Conservatory, Berlin, Germany Vocal The Conservatory of Music of York Junior College operates as a separate depart- ment of the school and maintains studios apart from the college. The music department is staffed with professors who have had experience abroad as well as in this country, and who are outstanding for their musical contribution to the community. This department offers valuable cultural development which cannot be attained through any other means; and, it also forms the nucleus for the musical talent of YJC. Courses are offered in Voice, Piano, Organ, Musical Instruments, as well as in theory. 20 SOCIAL SCIENCES SOCIOLOGY • ECONOMICS • HISTORY • PSYCHOLOGY Marie L. Van Horn Goucher College, A.B. Colorado College, M.A. Johns Hopkins University Head of Social Science Department Joseph A. Faico Duguesne University, A.B. University of Pittsburgh, M.A. Economics, History Miss VanHorn ' s courses embrace frequent lectures and group discussions, along with many field trips to give the student first hand knowledge of the social problems which are considered in the class- room. In both the introductory course and in soci- ology the student is acquainted with the sociological phases of past and contemporary life and gains a concise comprehension of the complex group re- lations within modern cultures. To broaden the range of his subjects, Mr. FaIco stresses recitation and class discussion, intermingled with frequent explanatory lectures and, where such are expedient, field trips, classroom reports, and outside study of related works. In economics an analysis is made of the structure and functions of modern industrial society, and the principles of economic theory are considered. Mr. Falco!s. survey course in American History covers the political, economic and social development of the nation from the earliest knowledge of the American Indian up to and including the Atomic Age. Those sciences which treat of human groups, the social sciences, are conducted under the very able guidance of Miss Marie Louise Van hHorn and Mr. Joseph A. Falco. Mr. Falco ' s courses comprise three periods weekly of both American hfistory and Prin- ciples of Economics. Miss Vanblorn also conducts two courses of three hours each throughout the year, the Introduction to Social Sciences, which is an orientation course, and Principles of Sociology.

Biology The Biology department of York Junior College offers a wide selection of courses which will prepare students for the fields of medicine, nursing, agriculture, medical secretary and laboratory technology. General biology, anatomy, physiology, bacteriology, microbiology and botany are taught by Dr. Lenore Ward, head of the department. Miss Gladys Stockslager and Mrs. Miriam Bauer. The instructors strive to stimulate student interest in animal and plant life, to explain the value of this life to human existence, to teach the relationship between animals and plants and to encourage a scientific attitade on the part of the students. 22 CHEMISTRY • PHYSICS Harry D. Bauman Franlclin and Marshall, B.S. Syracuse University, M.S. Head of Science Department Ellis D. Williams Mansfield State Teachers ' College, B.S. Duke University, M.Ed. Physics John P. White West Chester State Teachers ' College, B.S. Chemistry Elizabeth A. Heilman l ork Junior College Chemistry Laboratory Paul O. Nicodemus Pennsylvania State College, B.S. University of Pennsylvania, M.S. Chemistry The natural science courses are studied avidly by many Penn State Freshmen, pre- medlcal students and science majors. The two basic courses are chemistry, which treats of the composition and transformation of matter, and physics, which treats of the physical phenomena associated with matter. These subjects are taught by lecture- demonstrations of the basic laws, theories and computations. Further association of these laws is made possible by experimentation In the laboratory. In this way, each student is able to verify all classroom discussion by his own work In the laboratory. 23 PHYSICAL EDUCATION Wanda K. Flinchbaugh University of Pennsylvania, B.S., M.S. Physical Education Robert T. Hulton Grove City College, A.B. Physical Education MEN The required program of the physical education department consists of the following: inter-collegiate athletics in basketball and golf; and intra-mural athletics in golf, touch football, basketball and table tennis. Physical education offers the opportunity for each student to learn new physical education activities and to become more skilled in those in which he has some aptitude. WOMEN With the establishment of three primary objectives: to maintain good health — to develop activity skills — and to promote worthy uses of leisure time, the following physical education program for women has been devised: Fall — volleyball and badminton; Winter — basketball, dancing, rhythmics and swim- ming; Spring — archery, golf, tennis, and riding. Each girl is urged to participate In all of these activities, to learn the rules and regulations, tech- niques and skills of the various sports and to enjoy them to the utmost. 24 BUSINESS MANAGER Glenn M. Abel Mr. Glen M. Abel, the popular business manager of York Junior College, conducts all matters pertaining to finances in his new, well-equipped office. It is Glen who attends to all veterans ' af- fairs, including the vets ' certificates, fees and records. He also acts as mediator when difficulties arise with the Veterans ' Admin- istration. For the non-veterans, it is Glen who handles tuition, fees, text-books and other equipment. If an organization wishes to use the lounge for a meeting, it is Glen who must be contacted for permission. It is Glen who super- vises the rental of the gymnasium, and who is vitally interested in the school ' s athletic program. And if the students run-out of nickels, and the change machine is empty, who else but Glen would con- vert their dimes and quarters? i-lowever, this year Mr. Abel has found time to assume a new role, that of co-director of You Can ' t Take It With You. Because of his interest in the students and his desire to make York Junior College a reputable school, he is recognized as the real friend and counsellor of the students, and as an invaluable aid to the faculty and other administrators.

The staff Is divided Into Edito- rial, Art, Photography, and Business departments. The pur- pose of the book Is to record, In pictures and In writing, the events of the school year. FRESHMEN CLASS OF 1950 HAD FUN Left to Right: R. Newlin, Student Vice-President of School; N. Hibner Student Secretary of School; J. Potts, Freshman Class President. The class of 1950 was organized October 20, 1948, when the freshmen elected their class officers. The esoteric group chosen were: president, John Potts; vice-president, Philip Elchelberger; treasurer, Emer- son Frey; secretary, Nancy Boyer. Robert Newlin and Nina Hibner were elected as vice-president and secretary, respectively, for the student cabinet. John P. White, instructor in the chemistry depart- ment, was chosen freshman class advisor. The week of October I I, 1948, the initiation of the freshman girls by the second year sorority members lasted the entire week. The girls without lipstick, and sweeping the front sidewalk, were rare sights. Each day of the week the girls had a special duty to perform. Along with these, they had to carry a sign with their name printed and also wear pigtails. On Thursday, October 14, 1948, a school picnic was held at the Y.W.C.A. ' s Camp Cann-edi-on. The event was highlighted when the lower classmen won the annual freshman-sophomore football game. The beginning of November there appeared In as- sembly six new freshman cheerleaders. This was the first pep team the college has had. The green and white clad sextette cheered their teams to victory. The new fraternity. Phi Delta Phi, was organized early in November by the freshman boys who thought there was necessity for another fraternity. Their ideal is summed up in Phi Delta Phi ' s motto: Education, Fraternity, and Brotherhood ; and in the meaning of the name: Brotherhood through enlightenment. Leaving classes at 8:15 a. m., February 3, 1949, York Junior College observed the annual Freshman Day. Emptying chairs from classrooms, be-decking themselves with wigs and costumes from the tower, barricading the library door with a showcase, the freshmen left the school in a turmoil. Thoroughly convinced the inside of the school was a wreck, they marched outside, covering the front lawn with fifteen or more cars. Found In the trees were mounted owls and on the steps a statue. The after- noon brought about snowball fights followed by dinner at the Golden Glow Cafeteria. The hilarious day closed with a get together In the lounge. 44 UNTIL Mr. Hammatt gets carried away by Math. (Class, that Is) The calm after the storm 45 SPORTSMANSHIP .JHBSf KSi3Sami PHYSICAL EDUCATION George Selffert, in his characteristic pose — just horsing around. ' Under the heading of extra-curricular activities, we find Athletics. The word Ath- letics encompasses a wealth of history and tradition. Tastes in sports vary according to the geographic location of a state or country. In England, soccer is the leading sport; Mexicans enjoy jai a-lai games; Canada is known for ice hockey, and the Japa- nese practice the art of judo. hHere, in the United States, we delight in practically every form of athletics. We play no particular favorites. Our main theme is not who won or lost but how the game was played. There is no substitute for sportsmanship on the field of friendly strife. College athletics represent the zenith in their particular field of endeavor. hHere, at York Junior College, we have done our utmost to keep sports at the high level. School spirit is kept buoyed up by the efforts of both athletes and spectators. In the perusal of this or any other yearbook, bear in mind that to err is human but to be anti-sports- minded is to be only half alive. 49 MANAGERS and TRAINERS of THE FLYING DUTCHMEN They also serve who only sit and wait. The foregoing statement has many applications. In this instance, we choose to apply it to the unseen cogs of the basketball machine of our fair college. Endless hours of practice and planning are needed to put a basketball team on the floor. Yes, the players themselves practice but there is another contributing element, the coach and his assistants. The team represents the school. People are quick to praise the players when luck is with them and just as quick to ride the coach if the breaks are headed in the wrong direction. The coach can ' t do the job alone. The trainer and managers who act in the capacity of assistants also shoulder part of the load. It is still a tremendous job no matter how you look at it. Coach Bob hHuIton along with Basil, the trainer, and the managers, Don Getz and Carl Ortale, and assistant managers, Neal Sunday and William Flinchbaugh, deserve the plaudits of the crowds. So, hats off and let ' s give three cheers for the bench brigade. 50 ■ M Hfeji H 9HHB||hk f H THE 1948-49 SEASON BASKETBALL IN REVIEW THE SCOREBOARD Y. J. C.

Teamwork has been tlie main strategy behind YJC ' s victorious basketball team. This year, the Flying Dutchmen have com- pleted one of the most successful campaigns on the hardwood in the history of YJC basketball. In early October, when coach Bob hlulton posted a notice for the commencement of basketball practice until now, the end of a victorious season, teamwork, co- ordinated with skill, was emphasized. Only two of the previous season ' s team were holdovers, so it was entirely new material with which Bob Hulton had to build the ' 49 team. Weeks of hard, but pa- tient work, and the team to be known as the Flying Dutchmen began to emerge. Of course only actual game conditions could mold this team into the united body that so successfully defies defeat. To this fact we may trace the few, very few, early reverses. The Flying Dutchmen opened the season with a non- league tilt, playing the Franklin and Marshall fresh- men. This proved to be an impressive victory for the Flying Dutchmen as they defeated Franklin and Marshall 51 to 28. Masek and Hamme led the scor- ing parade. In rapid succession Mont Alto Forestry School and Johnstown Center were defeated by the powerful offensive attack, sparked by Masek ' s scoring sprees. With three victories to their credit, YJC first tasted defeat at the hands of the Altoona Un dergraduate Center, hiere, against a well organ- ized team, YJC found itself floundering during the first few minutes and could never quite head the Altoona team. But the Dutchmen came back to YJC with gained knowledge and the determination to avenge this defeat. The Flying Dutchmen began another victory string Immediately. First they crushed hiershey Junior Col- lege and then took a close, exciting game from the Pottsville Undergraduate Center 49 to 48. This game was a real thriller and York ' s teamwork pre- vailed. In an uphill fight they overcame a deficit with less than a minute to play and won the game with hiamme ' s perfectly executed foul shot. A local court record was accomplished against the next op- ponent, Keystone Junior College. The Dutchmen tallied 91 points, the new record, while Keystone could manage only 40. Still riding high, YJC trampled Harrisburg U. C. garnering 88 points to their rival ' s 61. After a close game resulting in a loss to Hazleton U. C, YJC bounded back, to de- feat Johnstown Center 46 to 42. Franklin and Marshall then took a slow moving game from the Dutchmen on the YJC court. This defeat was the first for the Dutchmen on the YJC court in 23 starts. In Stevens Trade game. Grim amassed 31 points, one point under the YJC record held by Russ Snyder. Then the Navy Plebes took York ' s measure 65 to 47 at Annapolis. YJC ran up suc- cessive victories against Harrisburg U. C. and Hershey Jr. College. Altoona traveled to York to play a very important game. The Dutchmen were equal to the test and although trailing 24 to 22 at the half, they fought their way to an impressive 52 to 42 victory. This victory insured YJC a place in the playoffs to be held at Du Bols. 52 The Flying Dutchmen playing their last league game reversed an earlier decision handed them by Hazle- ton U. C. This victory, a 68 to 49 triumph, awarded YJC first place In the league standings. The team had high scorers, Grim and Masek, and very capa- ble ball handlers, MIkell and Brown. But It was Hamme, so profusely capable In both these depart- ments, that would seem a symbol of the Flying Dutchmen. Nevertheless, It was the team as a whole that brought so many victories not a star or stars. The fact that the high scorer of one game was so often among the low scorers In the next Is evidence of this fact. With this continuous teamwork so skillfully created and employed by coach Bob Hul- ton, the tearT| should go on to greater accomplish- ments, winning the playoffs at Du Bols, then Into the intersectional and national NJCAA tournaments at the conclusion of the regular season. 1st Row: A.

Basketball, the most popular sport with the girls at York Junior College, created lots of aching muscles, but the girls passed these over lightly and fought to win 5 of their 13 games. The ring of merry voices and the sound of Mrs. Fllnchbaugh ' s whistle could be heard three afternoons a week coming from the gym. The members of the team chose Rose Kane and Sylvia Peckham as their captains. The cry Come on, York was heard before each game as a token of good luck. At each half the coach could be seen giving the girls the old 1-2-3 fight talk. Due to the girls ' fighting spirit and Mrs. Fllnchbaugh ' s faithful coaching, the basketball season this year was a successful one. 54 SPRING SPORTS GOLF Teeing off for Spring That smile of satisfaction ARCHERY Look out for that window! 55 r e s 0 So .V- .V v THE BUSINESS FIRMS, patrons and tnends whose advertisements appear on the toUowing pages have materially assisted in making The Tower possible.
