New Epsilon Pi Tau Men

Epsilon Annual

Pi Tau Sponsors Ini t iation Banquet

The annual dinner meeting and initiation of new members of the Omicorn Chapter, Epsilon Pi Tau, the honorary industrial arts fra­ternity, will be held on Saturday, June 6th, in the-college.

The planning committee, com­posed of the Newark State Teach­er's Chapter under the sponsorship of Mr. Hatch, has worked out a pro­gram consistent with the objectives of our nation in the prosecution of the war effort. With many fr ater­nity members now in service and others to be called, with materials and equipment curtailed or obtain­able, the problems of carrying on a good industrial arts program are aggravated and amplified. There­fore, it is hoped that the program and exhibits will help with these problems.

The industrial arts men chosen for this honorary fraternity must possess the qualities of achieve­ment, scholastic ability, and per­sonality.

The following are the men who have been selected as new mem­bers: George Bizlewicz; Wesley Ly­ons, seniors; James Coleman, Er­nest Dittner, Walter J ackman, Al­vin Scot t, Frank "{',.,..,.!>Y, Junior s; Roy Daniels, Louis Dykstra, J ohn Howard, Robert Kaeppel, Robert Pierson, and Paul Sauls, sopho­mores.

The program consists of the in­itiation at 4:30 P.M., and dinner at 6:00 P.M., followed by an election of officers, exhibits and pictures.

Date Set far The Senior Ball

Plans have been completed by the class of 1942 for this year's Senior Promenade, to be held J une 6th, at the Newark Athletic Club, at 10:00 P.M. This formal affair will mark the close of a round of successful social events for the col­lege year of 1941-1942.

Under the general chairmanship of William Young, the Prom prom­ises to be a memorable occasion to climax the four years of college work done by the seniors.

The orchestra committee, with Ann O'Neill as chairman, has en­gaged Bud-Laird's Orchestra to furnish the music for the affair. Members of the House Committee working on the dance are Margaret Walsh and William Young.

The Bid Committee, under the chairmanship of Margaret May, con­sists of Grace Guidetti, Joan Bis­sell, and Mary Gallitelli. It has been decided to issue bids to all seniors, Student Council members, and faculty members.

Senior Formal Tea Renewed Tradition

On Tuesday afternoon, J une 9, from four o'clock to six o'clock, a Formal Tea will be held in the gymnasium for the parents and f riends of the senior class.

'Irhis has been the firs t attempt to revive an old tradition of the col­lege program of previous years.

Dr. Lef\ore H. Vaughn-Eames, adviser of the class, will pour. The members of the senior class serving on the committee are: Ruth Comp­ton, chairman; Helen Ejk, Cath­erine McKenzie, Martha Miles, Ann O'Neill and Leonore Raff.

Dr. Vaughn-Eames Awarded Medal of the Month; Extensive Travel Creates Versatile Personality

If you attended the Patrons Card Party, you will remember that someone won a Pyrex bakfog set. That "someone" is the winner of this month's "Medal of the Month Award," Dr. Lenore Vaughn Eames. No person could possibly go through this freshman year at Newark State Teacher's College without coming in contact with Dr. Vaughn Eames. She gives voice tests to every entering freshman and evaluates thefr voice ability and also offers suggestions as to how to improve it. Her knowledge about the voice has come from her interest in dramatics and as you probably know, the voice plays a very important part in dramatics.

Worked in N. Y. She worked with one of the direc­tors fn David Belasco'& theater in New York, and got to know such people as Eva Le Galliene, Otis Skinner, Walter Hampton, Helen Hayes, and Reuben Mamoulian. She had also visited Hollywood (in fact, she has been to Europe four times, Bermuda three times, Canada, Mexico, and the length and breadth of the United States). "Hollywood isn't all glamour," says Dr. Vaughn Eames. "A great deal of hard work is involved; long hours and great attention to detail. There seems to be refusal to be discouraged over

,

Dr. Vaughn Ames

anything." Other places attended _by Dr. Vaughn Eames in connection with dramatics were the Shakes­peare plays in Stratford on Avon, Oberanmerigan Passion plays in Germany, and the Open Afr Thea­ter in Hyde Park in London. She is the author of a number of guides of Motion pictures used throughout

the United States and Canada, formerly speaker on subjects re-

. lating to the theater for the New York Federation of Women's Clubs, and formerly member of Theater Club Incorporated. Presently she is a member of the Motion' Picture Committees of Secondary Education Association, and of the American Educational Theater Association.

Traveled Widely Some· of the events that will al­

ways remain in her memory are like the one which took place while she was in Bermuda. She walked on the bottom of the sea (with a diving helmet on, of course), and really thinks it a beautiful sight. But, "you have trouble keeping your feet on the ground." Then there was the time she had tea with the Queen of Italy in the Palace of Rome. Do you remem­ber the earthquake they had in California? Well, Dr. Vaughn Eames was riding through the streets of Los Angeles when the earthquake occurred - and they couldn't understand why the wheels wouldn't stay on the car.

Her favorite hobby is remodeling old houses. Her second hobby (not of her own choice) is chasing after the Norms Treasurer.

The New Leaders Several centuries ago a custom started

which is about to be reenacted once again.

A class is graduating, and once again the

traditional caps and gowns will be worn. Ev­

ery line and cut of those gowns means some­

thing, and every bit of color means some­thing great in the traditions which have built great and free nations. Those caps and

gowns are a symbol of some of the scholar­

ship and leadership which have helped peo­

ple of all nations to grow steadily upward,

and to continue to reach forward even in this,

the darkest period of the world's history.

You seniors, who are about to graduate,

have heard much about the responsible part

you will play in the future of our nation. You

cannot comprehend, yet, how great that re­

sponsibility will be, or in how many ways,

big and little, it will make itself manifest to

you. We know this, though. You have

learned to think for yourselves. You are seri­

ous, ambitious, and unafraid. You have

learned that there are always obstacles to ac­

complishment, and you don't give up. You

are one of the finest classes we have ever

had, and we see you go out to teach and in­

fluence others without trepidation.

You cannot realize, yet, how much you are

going to mean to many, many people. Some

of you will literally contact thousands of

gi·owing men and women during the rest of

your life, and what you say, and do, and are,

will make a lasting impression on almost

every one of them, whether they remember

it or not. That is why we are glad that you

have learned what freedom really is, and that

you are truly forward-thinking. We know,

without a doubt, that wherever you are do­

ing a big job or a little one, we will be proud of you. You have already proved it to us.

Some of the Seniors

Senior Week Start.s June 6 Wise men have said that one

cannot burn the candle at both ends, but apparently they were very wrong as our Seniors will soon prove beyond a doubt during Senior Week.

This is a special week, set aside exclusively for Seniors after exams are over-June 6-13. At this tfme they will not only burn both ends of the candle, but probably work their way clear through to the middle!

Things will start with a bang on Saturday night when the class will hold its Senior Prom at the New­ark Athletic Club, music supp!fed by Bud Laird and his orchestra. Margaret May is in charge of dis­tributing the bids; Bill Young is chairman of the Prom itself and Peggy Walsh arranged for the house for the dance.

Sunday afternoon, June 7, Rever­end Compton, who incidentally is father of our own Ruth, will deliver the baccalaureate at 4 P.M.

On Monday the Seniors settle down to work and rehearse for

June Concerts Build up Morale

"Music for Morale" will be the keynote for the seventh season of the Essex County Symphony So­ciety during the month of June. The Concerts are held at the City Schools Stadium at Newark. Four conductors and outstanding musical personalities will be featured in an endeavor to keep up the spirits of Americans during the present cri­sis.

The Symphony Society opened its Stadium Concerts on Tuesday, June 2, at 8:40 P.M. with Metropolitan Opera Stars in full stage produc­tion of Rossini's "Barber of Se-

• ville." It was conducted by the celebrated English conductor Sir Thomas Beecham. The production included Salvatore Baccaloni, Jose­phine Antoine, Robert Weede, Ed­wina Eustis, Nicola Moscona, and Carmine Gagliardi.

The second concert to be held June 9 will be conducted by Dimitri Mitropoulos, distinguished conduc­tor of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. Soloists for the evening will be the famous two piano team, Vronsky and Babin.

Artur Rodzinski conducts the Cleveland Orchestra at the Third Concert on June 16. Fourteen-year­old Patricia Travers, a gifted vio­linist will be the f eatured soloist.

At the final concert of the series, Andre Kostelanetz will conduct and will make his first personal appear­ance with his wife, the Met ropoli­tan Opera Star, Lily Pons.

commencement exercises. June 9 faculty, parents and Class

will be entertained from 4-6 P.M. at a tea being supervised by Ruth Compton. Margaret May has charge of bids. Serving will probably be done by the Social Committee.

June 10, Wednesday, the Seniors have a rest, possibly to prepa!'E' them for their breakfast on Thurs­day morning. There is a charge of sixty cents. Faculty are also in­vited.

On Friday the Seniors rest again because Saturday is their big day.

At 4 P.M. the Class of 1942 bring four years of struggle ( ? ) to a close when Commencement Exer­cises will be held. The Invocation will be delivered by Reverend Compton, after which Dr. Schaeffer will present the guest speaker, Dr. Alonzo F. Meyers from New Yonk University. Diplomas will be pre­sented to the different curricula by Dr. Charles Elliot, Commissioner of Education in the state of New Jersey.

Students Get Music Awards

The Griffith Musfo Foundation held contests this past year in all phl!lses of musical ability and then awarded medals to the people who passed the necessary qualifications. Newark State Teachers College was well represented at the recent pres­entation of awards.

Awards Oksana Bezruchko, Betsy St.

John, Evelyn Kogan and Lucille Quint did us honor by winning medals in the piano competition. Oksana played the same three com. positions at the music study as­sembly that she played as a test of her ability for the Griffith Music Foundation. Betsy St. John appear. ed as Bridget Drake in the Norms play "When Ladies Meet." If you can .i·emember as far back as the club program assembly, Betsy play­ed the background music for the Nu Lambda Kappa presentation. Lucille Quint and Evelyn Kogan are freshmen so give them a chance to spread their wings and we'll probably be hearing from them soon.

Saitz Awarded Sonya Saitz won a medal for her

singfng of which we have all had a sample in the Christmas pro­grams and Spring Concerts, so it is no surprise to us upon learning of the outcome of her participation in the contest.

by Cecil Pollack

The end of our college year is here. What has happened in New­ark State's sports and what will happen next year must be consid­ered in the last "SPORTS RE­VIEW" of the year.

Our basketball team under the tutorship of Coach D'Angola had a very mediocre season of 7 wins and 9 losses. Captain Frank De­fino will be the only player that the team will lose by graduation, but who can tell how many felJows the team will lose to the Army.

Next Year's team, with Cliff Hepper as captain, should bettet· the record of its predecessor. Cap­tain Hepper will be aided by var­sity letter winners Shawcross, Scott, Smilari, Luciolo, Lowy, O'Sullivan, Bizlewfcz and Johnny Howard and Del Berry of the Junior Varsity.

• • • The fencing team after an en­

couraging start ended its season with an unimpressive record of 3 wins and 6 losses.

The bladesmen will not lose any­one by graduation so their record should be improved next year. Cap­tain De Finis, Tansey, Calcerano, Mancuso, Muniz and Bashover all return to Newark State with an­other year of experience.

• • * Despite the untiring efforts of

the boY,s on the squad, the tennis team ended its season with a very poor record of no wins, Q losses and one tie. The tie was recorded against Rutger's Pharmacy as the match was called on account of darkness.

Captain John Russo hopes to lead a successful team into action next year as Pollack, Berry, Her­bert, Kaepple and Peterson return from this year 's team. Al Cordasco will be the only loss to the team as he entered the Army just before the end of the season. '

• * * Archery was the outstanding in­

tercollegiate sport of the year at Newark State. Led by Selma Gold­stein, the girl archers won the State Winter Mail Tournament. The girls finished second in an in­vitation tourney sponsored by our athletic association.

• • • The intramural activities at

Newark State were very successful this year. They served thei r pur­pose by giving the non-varsity fel­lows and girls a chance to take part in sports.

There were two intramural bas­ketball tourneys this year, the fi l'St was won by the Dodgers and the second by the Sophomores. The former wer9 led by Sophomore Captain Ted Luciolo and Freshman Dfck Lowy. The teams for this tourney were picked from the stu­dent body and were coached by the

One of the most outstanding seniors of the class of '42 is Grace .Guidetti, a product of Lyndhurst High School. Upon coming to the college she fmmediately put herself to work as corresponding secretary of the Freshman class.

Among her other activities she lists all sports, dancing, knitting, selling (which she enjoys very much), and collecting. Grace col­lects anything and everything, but has a really good collection of for­eign post cards. She admires beau­tiful clothes, but she is not alone in thfs.

Ruth Jelstrom Kindergarten Primary

Newark State will miss Ruth J elstrom and her musical contribu­tions to the College. She started on her musical career by taking piano lessons and later studied the organ. When unpredictable circum­stances arose which left her church without a choir director and organ­ist, Ruth was given the position. She has lived in Montclair all her life and graduated from Montclair High School. Ruth is a member of the Alpha Theta Pi Sorority. Her interests have been musical since she was a member of the music study club, madrigal club, and glee club. She was elected president of the glee club during her junior year. One of the fondest memo­rfes of her college days, which will 1·emain with her throughout her life, was the preparation and prac­tice for spring concerts, C~istmas assemblies, and senior graduation. Next year she will teach the first grade in Montclair.

Navy Program Now Approved

The Navy Department has re­cently approved the cun-icula offer­ings and academic standards of the State Teachers College at Newark. This means that young men regu­larly enrolled in the first two years of college work will, upon enlist­ment as apprent ice seamen, receive deferred status in order that they may complete their studies in the V-1 program.

At the end of the sophomore year, and upon passing a qualify­ing comprehensive examination sent by the Navy Department, these men may complete their college work in the V-7 program. They will, finally, be commissioned in the Naval Reserve upon graduation.

The V-5 plan, as outlined by Lieut. Hanks in his address to the men of the college a few weeks ago, provides for young men be­tween eighteen and twenty-six en­listing fn the Naval Aviation forces for either active or reserve service.

Army Air Force Besides these opportunities in

the United States Navy, the young men of Newark State are invited to examfne the offerings of the Regular Army Air Forces. These branches are making it possible for college men to join an Enlisted Re­serve, in which there is provision f or the deferment of active military service until after graduation. All of the plans in each of the branches require high physical, intellectual and leadership standards.

For the past two months, Dr. Shaeffer and members of both the administration and the faculty have

' been doing everything possible to cooperate with the Army and Navy departments. Curricula offerings,for men at least, will be somewhat dif­ferent next year. There will, for example, be a necessary emphasis on science ( especially college phys­ics), mathematics, and physical fit­ness. Important numbers of stu­dents in all of the classes have responded to these possibilities in pre-officer training. It is expected that a number of the young men fn the entering class will enlist, too.

Doctor Shaeffer • has appointed Mr. Hutchinson as the adviser to students who may be interested. He urges that individuals see Mr. Hutchinson before commencement, as the planning of programs for next year will depend, i'n part, upon the numbers of men enrolled. ·
