• 1951 Tower york junior college york • Pennsylvania J y J. I am not poor, but I am proud, Oi one inalienable right. Above the envy of the crowd, — Thought ' s holy light. Better it is than gems or gold, And oh! it cannot die, But thought will glow when the sun grows cold, And mix with Deity. Rodin ' s THINKER To THE Thinker! To think . . . clearly, realistically, correctly, ration- ally ... is the goal for which man, resistant crea- ture that he is, has always aimed. By creative thinking, one answer has been solved, a rugged situation remedied, or another thesis proved, only to uncover a tougher, seemingly more impossible unknown. But man, in response to stimuli, will continue to ask himself how, when, why. He will continue to reflect, to ponder, to question. His mind racks forward, deep in thought. The TOWER, in 1951, presents THOUGHT for con- sideration. ■ A ■ y)eamm h Dr. Lester F. Johnson For all the traits attributable to the successful college presi- dent; for the respect of fellow administrators as a gentleman among men; for his driving force towards a pioneering, edu- cational vision for the community through the past quarter century, plus his understanding personal contacts which con- tinue to make life brighter for the student— for these qualities and many more, we dedicate to Dr. Lester F. Johnson, the TOWER of one thousand nine hundred and fifty-one.   v,. 1. vrwTW%miwi jjBI , IIHIIIilll IIMIK y IlilMtl iim .! :? -I 1 ! iiiil If -if ' -a Left to Right: Oscar L.

From Maine to Arizona the same uncer- tain problems faced the administrative heads of any school. Because of looming war clouds the molding of students, faculty, and student program into a smooth-functioning unit posed an even tougher problem. But one experience with the warm cooperative feeling which existed between all concerned at Y. J. C, is in itself the proof of an administrative job well done this year.

The third annual drive for the York Junior College Scholarship and Endowment Fund, which is now recognized as one of the out- standing events of the year, came to a suc- cessful conclusion with the presentation of The Silver Whistle by the Footlighters on April 27 and 28. All proceeds from this annual college play were turned over to the Scholarship Fund, and as a result, five more worthy high school seniors, who would otherwise be unable to do so, will attend Y. J. C. next year. The balance of the proceeds was again added to the Scholarship-Endowment Fund, to be made available for scholarships for future years. Student chairman was Dick Heindel. The publicity was ably handled by Thil Mehl. 30 1  . Student Council Row I— R, Uflelmcm, J Dunlap, freshman sergeant at arras, A Brewster, treasurer; P. Brown, W. Klmg, J. Crone, secretary; D.

This year the student body participated in the closest and perhaps the most exciting election in the school ' s history. Chan Mitzell outdistanced Dick Heindel by the narrow margin of two votes to gain the presidential post. The Retreat was again highly successful, and the Red Feather Drive plus the Homecoming idea all em- anated from the Student Council. The Refreaf 34 nter-Fraternity Council J. Minnick, M. Varick, G.

The Council, in its second year of activity, solved many of the problems v hich had heretofore existed among the fraternity groups. Atop the agenda this year was a resolution drawn up by the committee to deal with the rushing season of MEK and PDP. In an attempt to promote good feeling among all con- cerned, the Council held a Barn Party for the stu- dents early in Autumn, and although plans for the Inter-Fraternity Ball scheduled for the Country Club in February failed to materialize, the group turned its attention to an even bigger undertaking — the support of the Endowment Fund.

The Bunny Hop continued to hold the spotlight as the standout achievement of Phi Delta Phi in 1951. The Phi ' s went all-out in making this Spring dance one of the best in the history of the school. Never let it be said, however, that the Phi Delt ' s stopped with just sponsoring one event during the school year. The Turkey Trot, a winter social event, and the movie Great Expectations, both were held under the auspices of Y. J. C. ' s junior fraternity. 36 Supreme Delta DICK HEINDEL Vice-Piesident PAUL BROWN Secretary DON YOHE Treasurer JACK MINNICK Advisors MESSRS. DUNLAP, FALCO, McFADDEN Mu Eta Kappa Row 1—D. Riviera, C.

Under the astute direction of Don Newcomer and Joe Bretz, Mu Eta Kappa enjoyed another successful year at Y. J. C. These two veterans of World War II collaborated to give the frat the mature guidance needed by any organization. Sports Night, presented yearly by MEK members, once again was the crown- ing achievement of the group. Four college cage squads from Lehigh, Dickin- son, Swarthmore, and Western Maryland converged upon York to participate in the first college basketball doubleheader ever staged in the White Rose City.

Groat Alpha Rho Sigma Alpha Rho Sigma is the fraternity open to engineering students only, although a possible enlargement through changes in membership requirements was considered this year. Either the weather or the stars were against the brothers in the fall — there ' s no glowing report of fine deeds accomplished. But things have started popping later in the year — possibly the spring season had something to do with it. We understand that an hour was required by a few Alpha Rho Sigma brothers to show a ten- minute film. Their excuse? We learned how to operate the projector, anyhow!

MIRIAM BAUER It was indeed a heart-warming sight to the twenty-eight members of the Y. J. C. sorority when the annual Lambda Sigma Chi ' s Christ- mas party was held for the neighboring Duke Street School children. A bake sale at a local market p rovided finances for this event and lots of fun for the girls. The success of the party led the sisters to plan an Easter egg hunt fea- turing real live bunnies. In the lounge, in the library, or in the classroom it wasn ' t unusual to see a white campus cap bearing Lambda ' s big green insignia; and under the cap, you could be sure, there was a dainty feminine head filled with ideas about a mother and daughter banquet, a party for the faculty, a spring outing, or another social event 39 Footlighters Row I — G.

This year ' s school play, The Silver Whistle, presented April 27, 28, by the Footlighters under the direction of advisor Hallett B. Hammatt, contributed to perhaps the most significant of all enter- prises at Y. J. C. — the Scholar- ship Fund inaugurated by the Footlighters Dramatic Organiza- tion two years ago. Ambitious and desiring still another means of in- creasing this fund, faithful thes- pians diligently sold hot dogs, pop, and candy at all home basketball games. There was also rousing entertainment for all the actors at a Hallowe ' en party where try-outs ' were held for Man of Arts, a one-act comedy which was presented at one of the school ' s semi-monthly assemblies.

Not only does it furnish all necessary data such as test dates, deadlines, etc., but also social clippings of the fraternities, sorority, Linguistians and other items not strictly news. Hats off!

Had our thoughtful editor foreseen the school controversy which arose over the language of the motto, it is doubtful whether he would have in- sisted on a school seal for the 1951 Tower cover. While heated debates echoed through the school halls, the editor selected THOUGHT for the theme, and the various staff mem- bers peacefully proceeded to lay out the dummy, take photographs, and collect copy for the 1951 Tower, which was the first Y. J. C. yearbook to appear without advertisemen = Willing staff members spent loi ' i hours at the printers to decrease tl budget. In retrospect, we might add that the editor and sports editor at- tended the Columbia Scholastic Press convention in the Fall, and likewise the Michigan-Army football game (in the interest of the year- book, of course).

Under the supervision of the cen- tral committee shown above, December 16th was designated as the official time for all York Alumni to return for a day of Homecoming activities. The F. M. Frosh-Flying Dutchmen basketball game started proceedings in the afternoon. Both fraternities held alumni dinners early in the same evening, and the gala day was climaxed with a highly successful Homecoming Dance held at the Yorktowne Ballroom. Every- one agreed Homecoming Day had served its purpose — that of becoming a spring- board for bigger and better Homecoming events to be held annually in the coming years. 44 Homecoming Queen selected by Phi Delta Phi K ' W ama c fnn Wa m i Linguistians G.

Herr Garreff When four-fifths of the student body turned out to elect a King and Queen of the Linguistians ' annual Mardi Gras, the event ' s success was assured. President Diana Weeks received the student body ' s backing to reign as queen of the gala event and King Harold I (Stump that is) ruled elegantly over his costumed court. The Linguistians ' varied program featured plans for presenting the foreign films, Tor- ment and Quartet, to the people of York, and speakers such as Dr. Frank Seigert, a German pianist; Mr. Stuart Glatfelter, who re- cently spent a year in Paris, France; and Mrs. Fred Kinley, a native of Brittany. With the pro- ceeds from their movie business, the Linguis- tians planned a spring trip which would en- hance their lingual background.

' Sports Night, that late November extravaganza presented yearly as a high- light of MEK activities, scaled new heights this year and was truthfully bigger and better than ever. Under the splendid guidance of commi ttee chairman James A. Raub, with plenty of outside publicity assistance from alumni Robert A. Reichley, four college basketball squads were acquired to take part in an all-college double- header, the first of its kind ever presented at Y. J. C, or in the city of York for that matter. Swarthmore, Western Maryland, Dickinson College, and Lehigh University collaborated to give the jam-packed throng at Y. J. C. more than their money ' s worth in cage action. In addition there was an elaborate pre-game banquet held at the Pine Tree Inn at which many distinguished guests, including his honor the mayor, attended. As half-time attractions, the committee presented Miss Alta Berg, state baton-twirling champ and a roller skating duo. Without a doubt. Sports Night was one of the standout achievements at York Junior College in 1950-51. Co egiate Dignitaries ■ %i.m A -iv BmeimI . , . The cooc i — P. J. C. A. A.

I. C. was one the people of York, the students, the players and certainly head coach Bob Hulton shall not soon forget. As it turned out the season was a grand and glorious one, but there were times when the outlook seemed none too bright, even to the extreme optimist. From the very beginning this year ' s squad had its handicaps, — and a little later on — its misfortunes. Height, that one element so essential for winning basketball games in this modern era, was not to be found on this year ' s squad. At 6 ' 2 Bill Clapp was the tallest member to see any regular action. In short, and they were that, the 1950-1951 Flying Dutchmen were a band of Davids in a land of Goliaths. But despite this drawback the Green and White cagers started the season on a highly successful note by recording three consecutive victories; two coming on tough foreign hardwoods. Ken Deardorff and Tex Steckler hit well from outside in these skirmishes and the public began predicting big things for the Hultonmen. Then Casey (in the form of Ogontz, Franklin and Marshall Frosh, Navy Plebes, and Johnstown) lowered the boom in the four succeeding games. To make matters worse Steckler soon left the squad at mid-year, and misfortune — in the form of a little internal dissension — befell the squad not long afterwards. Time rambled on however with Y. J. C. playing scarcely better than .500 ball. Ardent fans had re- signed themselves to a mediocre saeson until it happened. It being the Gettysburg Frosh contest. To the astonishment of many the much-ballyhooed, undefeated, and supposedly untouchable G-burg squad was tripped up by the Dutchmen on the Duke Street floor, and from then on the men of Hulton — with playoff time not far away — became an en- tirely different ball club. Ogontz, twice conquerors of York in regular season play, was favored to win the all- important four team playoffs at Hazleton. Y. J. C. thought differently, however, and after a 86-69 triumph over Johnstown Friday night came right back the following eve and played an undescribably superb brand of ball against Ogontz in the final; tripping the Philadelphia suburbanites 58-55 in a game labeled by observers as the finest ever played in P. J. C. A. A. history. The entire York squad literally fought their hearts out ' in that fracas and for their fine individual play Ken Deardorff and Gerry Strine wer ; named to the All-State squad with Deardorff being chosen the outstanding participant in the tourney. Thus a season which started out in high gear, only to sputter around gnd almost fizzle, found itself just in the nick of time to forge another link into the long chain of cham- pionship basketball squads at Y. J. C. 57 national tourney Oh, No . . .;• Fresh from their success at Hazleton the Dutchmen re- turned to York only to learn of plans for their competing in the National tournament held at Hutchinson, Kansas. This marked the first time any team from this region had taken part in the nationals. York ' s first tussle was against Binghamton, N. Y. (28-2). Sparked by the hot-handed Ken Deardorff, coach Hul- ton ' s lads rallied from an early second half deficit of 17 points to garner a last minute 58-57 verdict. Ken ' s foul conversion in the last 20 seconds afforded York its margin of victory. The following night the Green and White basketeers battled Moberly, Mo. (22-3) in the quarter-final round. Moberly, sparked by Ail-American Red Andress, 6 ' 7 Don Aneilak, 67 Richard Gott, and 6 ' 4 Bill Unnerstall proved too much to handle, despite the fact the Yorkers were playing their best game of the year. After a torrid 34-32 first half Moberly spurted and then hung on for a hard-earned 65-57 win. In a consolation game the next day Dodge City downed the Dutchmen 59-53. For his sparkling display of talent in the three games — he scored a grand total of 69 points — Ken was named to the All- American team. An honor well merited to possibly the best basketball player ever to grace the Y. J. C. picture. Intra Murals . . . 59 Girls ' Sports Ballet Anyone! Although the Y. J. C. girls began their 1950-51 sports year with basketball games against the Dover High School and Elizabethtown College, and participated in intramural volleyball con- tests, they placed most of their stress on games of individual competition. Especially during the second semester, tennis, badminton, and even ping-pong tournaments among the fairer sex were common scenes in the school gymnasium. With the arrival of spring, the girls showed avid enthusiasm in learning the skills later to be practiced on a tennis court. Proper Technique 4 ' 60 Baseball . . . Kneeling— D. Heindel, W.

The pitcher wound up, the ball floated toward the plate, a crack of the bat, and a new sport was born to York Junior College. Baseball!
