But both anticipate unforgettable experiences. moim aimit Dr. Dawes, distinguished guests and friends: Representing the students, I welcome the new president of York Junior College. We students haven ' t come in contact with you, Dr. Dawes, too frequently within the short period of two weeks that we have known you. But even so, we have observed your fine qualities. We like your chapel talks. We like your new ideas. We like to hear your voice on the radio telling about York Junior College. And, we like to know that you are ofiFer- ing your talents to community service. We like the feeling that you are here to lead and to help us. May we students in turn prove worthy of your hopes and ambitions. John Jury Mr. Campbell, Members of the Boards of Trustees: You have charged me with a task which I approach with utmost humility. In a world torn with strife, betrayed by false gods, and confused as to its objectives, the hope of mankind may well rest in the courageous civic contribution of a com- munity such as York, Pennsylvania. To achieve our goal we must nurture a positive climate for tomorrow ' s citizens. Within these walls of York Junior College is a rich potential. Our purpose shall be to stimulate the intellect, to open the heart, and to enrich the spirit. In the eyes of youth is reflected the future. Together, let us make that future a bright one. To that end I shall endeavor to be worthy of the trust reposed in me. Dr. Dawes James A. Michener delivers address at college classmate ' s inaugural. tire imit of Ujorli (Ojiinior Qolkg Ielvin H.

This help would include a variety of en- tertainment in a social and educational manner. Since there is no budget for these pro- grams, the Women ' s Advisory Group per- sonally have contributed all needed funds and have offered their homes for the girls ' entertainment. The program opened with a lovely tea, followed by a fashion show and a lecture on beauty culture. The main project is to furnish a Girls ' Lounge . Seated: Mrs. W. G. Higgins, Mrs. Howard D.

HARTLEY Dean Hartley can never be for- gotten for his serious, yet optimistic outlook on life, and his cultured way of speaking. A philosopher and music lover, we shall remember him as a friend.

M.Kil. Mr. Bauman. Beneath that professional front we know there ' s more than just chemistry. Mr. Bauman has a habit of very subtly turning a lab period into a funhouse, and still getting the students to produce their best work. Mrs. Bauer is primarily a biology instruc- tor but Lambda Sigma Chi will never for- get the service she rendered the society during her advisorship first semester. Mrs. Benner. We girls go to her gym classes and lose our troubles in a game of volley ball. Then there are times when we put aside sports while we relate our trou- bles to Mrs. Benner whose ready advice encourages us. Mr. Cavanaugh. Our art instructor helps his students to find expression and beauty in the most insignificant objects and phases of every day life. W. BuBC Anstine Ann VanDerveer Catherine Benner William Kennawell Richard C. Paul Lehigh University, B.S., M.S. RoiiERT T. IIULTON The Reverend Dunlap delves into many fields. We like his readiness to enjoy a joke or even the lowly pun with us, whether it ' s in English or Greek. Mrs. Falco was a newcomer to us this year, but she readily grasped the Y. J. C. spirit and made a place for herself in just one semester, as the Typing and Shorthand teacher. Mr. Falco. No matter how long the his- tory assignment, everybody likes Joe. Mr. Falco ' s popularity can be attributed to the fact that he treats every one alike, and helps many a student over a rough time by a few wise words. Mr. Frank is the soft spoken Psychology and English Literature teacher, who, we are informed, is very gifted in creative writing. Mr. Hammatt. The expression wherever there ' s Hammatt, there ' s a riot is part of the vocabulary for a Y. J. C. student. Mr. Hammatt ' s quick wit and clever imperson- ations aid this mathematical brain in the all-school dramatic production. Bob Hulton is an extraordinary individ- ual. His coaching technique is paying off ' and we wish him many more good teams. We believe that his drive (not to mention his famous temper) can produce top-notch teams from any group with which he works. Dr. Jaeckel is so interesting. To say interested would more adequately de- scribe her, for she always senses students ' s depression and offers genuine encourage- ment. Miss McNitt is the petite English teacher who possesses insight and under- HiLDE Jaeckel University of Geneva, Switzerland University of Breslau. Ph.D. Judy Mendels University of Amsterdam, M.O. Johns Hopkins University, M.A. Hallett B. Hammatt University of California, B.A. Harvard University, M.A. standing of human nature. We cannot for- get the hours she devoted to this book. Miss Mendels is a newcomer this year. It is she who is responsible for all those beautiful new pictures being placed in the library. Mr. Seligman. When we think of Mr. Seligman, we think of a Meerschaum, good humor and accounting calculations in such matters as income tax forms. Dr. Ward was more the property of York Hospital than of York Junior College the first semester, but she managed to rush between the two institutions and impress her warm, strong personality upon us. Mr. Williams is a reason for our liking science. Then too he is always fixing something for us— be it a TV set, a radio or a projector. 10 Joseph A.

Its publication is always a matter of con- cern to the adviser, a source of headaches to the editor— when there is one— and a deep mystery to Mr. Hammatt. This year the international crisis was keenly felt even in the staff room of The Yorker. Editor Baney left for the Army in February; and by the time a new staff had been assem- bled, the second semester was well on its way out. But we ' re always hoping; some day we ' ll beat a deadline! ,. ' ' V Seated: Dotts, Wright, Baney. Standing: Ruth, Sterner, Eyster, Wise, Bailey. Not Present: Adviser, J.

C. spirit aroused real com- petition for student government offices in September. A lively campaign involved the three fraternities and the women ' s Inde- pendent party. The final tally indicated the following winners: Guyer, president; Stevens, vice-president; Holtzapple, secre- tary; Gundrum, treasurer; Rohrbaugh and Myers, class president; Kaley and Koche- nour, sergeants-at-arms. To get a better perspective on junior college activities in the state, Dotts, Glackin, Argento, and Guyer attended the Pennsylvania Council at Altoona. 12 Guyer, that popular guyl Beware of an argument with an Independent!

The program originating from the local WSBA was broadcast nationally over more than 300 stations of the American Broad- casting Company. The program ' s topic, always of some nation-wide interest was, Should the Taft- Hartley Act be Repealed or Amended? The speakers were former Congressman Fred A. Hartley, Jr., the co-author of the original bill, and taking the side of organ- ized labor, the Assistant Secretary of Labor, Robert J. Creasy. The moderator was the famed ABC veteran newsman, Gunnar Back. 14 Halloween Now, honor your partners, all! Salute your comers, too! called Peter Carter as we danced amidst the cornstalks.

Preceded by an extensive publicity campaign, the affair was a success as indi- cated by the sizable check from proceeds which the fraternity donated to the York County Society for Cerebral Palsy. In the double-barrelled attraction ar- ranged by Bob Reichley, the two Pennsyl- vania representatives, West Chester State Teacher ' s College and Lebanon Valley came out on top over their respective Maryland rivals, Loyola of Baltimore and Mount St. Mary ' s of Emmittsburg. The twin-bUl was viewed by nearly 1,000 fans who enjoyed the West Chester-Loyola thriller which ended 68-66. Lebanon Val- ley dominated Mt. St. Mary ' s quintet 88-57. Congratulations are again in order to M. E. K. for their efforts in making Sports Night another annual stand-out on York Junior College ' s calendar of events. £ bil sr- M Merry Christinas! A gleaming Cliristmas tree in Memorial Hall! Gaily decorated windows in the library! Garlands of greens in the lounge! Yes, it ' s the Christmas spirit created by the sorority girls. They presented beautifully wrapped gifts to every child at the Christ- mas Duke Street School party, and they planned an Easter Egg Hunt for the chil- dren in April. Although the fraternities vie with each other for Student Covmcil elections in the fall, it took the girls, organized vmder the name of Independents to provide stiff com- petition. Their battle cry was: Break the Machine. The girls were not victorious for the presidential top office, but they made a surprisingly fine showing in final election returns. The Lambda Sigs under the advisorship of Mrs. Bauer, first semester, and Miss Van- Derveer, the second, have enjoyed inter- esting monthly programs and pleasant sociability.

Promptly at 8:30 classes begin. (The students begin much later.) At this time the windows in room 12, are flung open. Mr. Falco has arrived. You draw your coat about yourself more tightly and prepare for a lecture in History of Western Civil- ization, a basic freshman course. In other words, this course is one you Gotta get through. 9:20 A.M. First period is supposed to end. 9:32 A.M. First period ends. You are now two min- utes late for Spanish class— a fact dwelt upon at length by its teacher. Dr. Jaeckel. After explanations the class proceeds as normal with its translation. Today, how- ever, Spanish is neglected for a few min- utes, and you find yourself in a discussion of philosophy that will be remembered long after Spanish has been forgotten. 10:20 A.M. You beg, buy, borrow or— a cigarette. If you are a lady, you smoke it in the Lounge; if you are a gentleman you smoke it in the Lounge. Otherwise, you sneak it in the front hall. 10:30 A.M. A brisk workout consisting of four flights of stairs brings you to your one modicum of Culture, the Art Appreciation class. Here, with Mr. Cavanaugh, you discuss the various aesthetic movements, their rep- resentative paintings and who done ' em. 11:30 A.M. Class ends and you enter the mad, mad race for a sandwich in the Hot Shoppe. 11:45 A.M. Sandwich ends and you enter the mad, mad race for a deck of cards. If you get cards, you play; if you don ' t, you kibitz. If you ' re uninterested, you gossip. 27 Engineering 101 French 201 12:29 P.M. You stroll to class. 12:33 P.M. Mr. Hammatt bustles in smiling and class begins. Mathematics is very IMPOR- TANT to the future engineer since it is the basis for physics and chemistry prob- lems, says he. This course is exceedingly difficult. However, Mr. Hammatt ' s occa- sional witticisms make the time go faster, and information come easier. 1:15 P.M. Everyone wonders if class is really out early, or if his watch is wrong. 1:30 P.M. You pick up your slide rule and go to chemistry lab (what is there about a slide rule that makes everyone look so very scientific?) You speculate apprehensively on the experiment for today. 1:40 P.M. In the last ten minutes: You have re- ceived your lab sheets and your mate- rials; cleaned your equipment; lighted your bunsen burner; and, talked a little. Now you actually get to work. 2:30 P.M. The halfway mark; nobody is on sched- ule, but the bright boys. 4:30 P.M. The class begins to finish more or less on time. For most of you it is less. 4:45 P.M. Classes are over. Everyone is now fin- ished (physically and academically) and free. However, there is a small matter of the English assignment for tomorrow: that research theme chapter; and, a Footlight- ers ' meeting tonight; and etc. and etc. 28 29 The teams take their positions — the referees signal the timer — the ball is in the air — and, Bill Sterner controls the tip- ofF to start Y.

Second Row: Ruth, Levin, Wilson, Myers, Smith, Dunlap. We ' re ahead now! 32 York Junior College completed its most successful basketball season in the history of the school. The season record of 23 wins and 3 losses bettered the previous high of 21 and 4, set in 1946-47. Included in the brilliant year was an undefeated season in the Pennsylvania Jun- ior College League which was capped by the winning of Y. J. C. ' s fourth consecutive State Championship and the fifth in its history. Individual honors and records were many during the year. George Guyer set a new individual season scoring record with 454 points and also a new two year standard with 784. Guyer and Herb Sander were chosen on the all-league first team. In the State Tournament, Guyer was named a Herb Basil— Final check member of the all-tournament team for the second year, while Joe Argento also made the team for the first time. Guyer also was the league high scorer. Guyer ' s 187 field goals also constitute a new school record. Every team record in existence was shat- tered. An 18 game winning streak during the year was a new high. Other new rec- ords were: High Season Score-1889; High Game Score-94; Field Goals Season-716; Field Goals Game-41; Foul Goals Season -457; and Foul Goals Game-30. Another unoflBcial record set this year was the clean sweep of games during the western trip to Altoona and Johnstown. At Johnstown, with Kinard and Sander foul- ing their ways from the game, and Argento and Sterner playing under the burdens of 33 1 • w ' . r JH H V Jm_ i m . ' 4V-i| . ■piB L y b  four fouls each, this team from Y. J. C. still had enough to knock off the team that was leading the league and that previously averaged 75 points per game. Guyer, Sauder, and Argento along with reserve Hamme are the sophomores who will be lost by graduation. Guyer ranks as one of the school ' s all-time greats. Sauder and Argento both had great years. Outstanding freshmen were Sterner, Trimmer, Stambaugh, and Kinard, all of whom were regulars. Other promising frosh were Kuhn, Smyser, Levin, and Ruth. It will be the job of these freshmen to for m the nucleus of next year ' s squad- now a bright certainty for 1953- ' 54. Joe George Y. J. C. RESERVES (1952-53) Y. J.

With Carl Bucks, the Chocolate town ' s top scorer, trying valiantly to propel his team into the finals, Y. J. C. built a substantial lead that enabled Coach Hulton to substitute fre- quently in the final period. Guyer, Sauder, and Argento paced the scoring for Y. J. C. Y. J. C. 78 - JOHNSTOWN 67 After a spirited Hershey team defeated Mont Alto, Y. J. C. met Johnstown for the championship. Following a slow start, the Hultonmen soon found the mark and be- gan to build up a slow lead. The only person who kept the Flying Dutchmen from making a rout of the game was Johns- town ' s star, Howie Schwartz, who was chosen Most Valuable Player of the tour- nament. By using keen teamwork, their greatest asset, the Hultonmen won the state championship and the traveling Polack trophy. Polack trophy is Y. J. C.

The group, with Dr. Jaeckel as its adviser, holds bi-monthly business and social meetings. The society ' s main project this year was a Mardi Gras, held on the traditional date: Tuesday, February seventeenth. The gym- nasium was decorated to resemble a square in the French Quarter of New Orleans, and every one who attended was masked or costumed. Dancing was stopped for the crowning of the King, Bill Sterner, and Queen, Catherine Dotts, of the Mardi Gras. They had been elected in the previ- ous week by the student body. Bailey, Scoville, Kraber, Gundrum, Norris, Stude- baker, Wise, Wright, Brown, Lau, Sloka, Orbank, Marks, Dudrear. Linguistians 38 T plus O plus W plus E plus R equals what?

But, the combination of the words is a symbol of this year ' s staff. Hively, Myers, and Reibei made the lay-outs; Wright developed the art motif; Eyster, Mount, Ensor, Talley and Depfer wrote articles; Platts and Burke typed; Miss McNitt advised; and Ed Fisher took the candids.

The play, directed by Mr. Ham- matt, gives every student, every faculty member and every friend of Y. J.
