DICKINSON JUNIOR COLLEGE
WILLIAMSPORT, PA. TO OUR MEN
special tribute to Captain (J2,' r wish to pay Fkank B. Camp, a recent alumnus, who shot down a Messerschmitt in the El Geutar area of the Tunisian war front. He served as leader of a group of American-piloted Spitfires. Cap- tain Camp's feat is an outstanding example of the heroic work being accomplished by former Dickinsonians on every warfront of the world.

46305 JOHN G. CORNWELL IN APPRECIATION
* Lieutenant John G. Cornwell, former Dean of
Men at Williamsport-Dicklnson for almost ten
years, is now on active duty with the Navy at
Columbia University, New York. There is, in-
deed, a vacant place here on the campus since his departure for the naval service.
* This year, moreso than in other years, because
of the war, the Dean has worked tirelessly for the men of Dickinson. In spite of his many duties, he has always found time to be a friend and
adviser to the students. Never too busy to offer
a word of advice, or counsel about courses or
personal problems, the Dean's absence is keenly
felt by all who came in contact with him.
* In appreciation, therefore, we, the class of 1943, extend to Lieutenant Cornwell our best and most sincere wishes for his success. If past performances are any indication of the future,
we are certain Lieutenant Cornwell's career as a
naval officer will be as complimentary as his years
here at Williamsport-Dickinson.

CLASSES Sophomore Class History
Tempus Fugit! How quickly our years at D-Son have passed leaving lifetime memo- ries behind.
Let us review some of these as Frosh of '42:
Freshman Week—pigtails, no make-up, bow ties, reversed coats, and NO SOCIAL-
IZING made us appreciate the "privileges" we experienced after this hectic week. How we envied those upper classmen.
"Death Takes a Holiday"—a class play well portrayed by fellow students. We never will forget "ghosty" Bill Jones. The Checkov players brought excitement upon our campus when they produced their splendid rendition of "Twelfth Night."
These are but some of the highlights of our PREVIOUS Frosh days. Now, let us look at our last year as we shall remember it:
Because we knew many of our boys would answer Uncle Sam's call, our Prom Committee was chosen early. They really worked hard and gave us a night never to be forgotten—February 5, 1943.
That night and December 4, the Costume Ball, were the two affairs the couples were to enjoy.
Soon after this our boys began to leave—Army Reserves, Air Corps Reserves, mem-
bers of our own faculty, including our own Dean of Men. Our hats are off to these men. We're proud of you.
We've done our part as best we can here by continuing our education, buying war stamps and bonds, sponsoring the Red Cross drive and our Victory Dances.
Every good thing must come to an end, and so with our years at D. J. C. Though scattered throughout the world, we will never forget the friends and many happy hours
we had together. Faculty and students alike have helped create a friendly atmosphere which shall remain with us always. RACHEL ANDREWS JOHN GROFF BAILEY "Rach" "Mr. Bailey"

20 Mid -Term Graduates
Dickinson has adopted the accelerated program to help do its part for Uncle Sam and students.
The three mid-term graduates who finished their work here at the end of the first semester are Vesta McAllister, who is now in training in the New York Hospital atfiliated
with Cornell University; Walter Green, and Paul Levinson, both who are continuing their studies at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
Their Freshman careers started with us in September of 1941. They continued throughout the summer and then began their junior year in February of '43.
We missed them throughout our second semester as Sophomores, but were proud of their accomplishments in their new work.

22 Senior Prep History
The Senior Prep Class of 1943 will long be remembered as a
class of high ideals and noble aspirations. Though during the year the class suffered the loss of some of its members to the armed forces and the war effort, its scholastic and social accomplishments were
varied.
Remember the song-birds Gregorek and St. Clair, the comedian
"Spike" Spissinger, and our basketball star, Bob Kerfoot? We've had representatives in many other extra-curricular fields and we
will long remember some of the times they have planned.
We elected Kennard Day as our class president; Edward J.
Kazunas, vice president; Grace Gilmore Kiess, secretary; and Paul
Prichard John, treasurer. We give them our thanks for their services
rendered.
Whether Frosh in college, at work, or serving Uncle Sam, we
shall often recall our days at Dickinson.

24 D-^on Br.iin Trust. Freshman Class History
September 21, 1942 found another class of green freshmen
walking bewilderedly through the halls of good old D-Son.
Yes, the freshmen soon acquainted themselves with the sur-
roundings with which they were to spend the next nine months,
and found, that there were plenty of good friends and good times
in store.
They felt not quite so high and mighty, however, when the
custom of Freshmen Week descended upon them, and many found
themselves under the iron rod of delighted sophomores. Several
custom-breaking freshmen girls found themselves in classes with
their hair up, while some of the fellows condescended to walk guard
duty.
Later, though, the sophomore girls proved themselves true blue,
and entertained the freshmen girls at an afternoon tea.
One of the outstanding memories of this class was the Chestnut
Hunt held in November at Mountain Beach. Classes were dismissed
for the day, and a good time was had by all who participated.
Although many of the masculine members of the freshman
class have departed to join the various branches of the service of our
country, and the Army has moved in on the Dickinson Campus,
we hope that we can complete our next year, as we certainly have
enjoyed our scholastic and social life this year.

ACTIVITI ES The 1943 Dart
The Dart staff has worked under considerable difficulty this year to give you, our readers, a brief history of our 1942-43 school year.
It was considered combining the Union and Dart, but by vote of the students it was decided that the Dart be published as a separate issue, though it would be curtailed a great deal from the usual publication.
In this, then, are our best efforts under trying circumstances to record for you some of the highlights of the year.
Doris Mell, Editor of the Dart, assisted by Lois Lucas, Liter- ary Editor, and Bill Jones, Class Editor, have worked untiringly to make this a book of memories you will long enjoy.
Dorothy Ferrell and her business staff deserve credit for their advertising campaigns which helped make this, The Dart of
1943, possible.

33 Union
A hard-working staff put out four thoroughly enjoyable
issues of the UNION this year.
Departure of several UNION staff members to the armed
forces promoted ideas for such articles as "Camp Correspondence"
and "Second Class Gas From Private Cass."
At the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Convention in
March, the Dickinson UNION won first-place rating for junior
colleges in the United States, and all-Columbian honors for feature
stories.
Congratulations are extended to Bob Sullivan, Editor; Rose-
mary Wagar, Associate, and their staff, and to Miss Harriet Roth
and her art students for their fine work on the UNION.
34 The Blanket
The BLANKET, Dickinson's weekly newsrag, was created last year and has continued this year by popular demand under the able editorship of Bob Sullivan. Self-supporting for the major part of the year, its expenses for about the last month and a half of the school year were paid for from the activities fee. The clever
"Gab by Gus" column had to be discontinued when Seymour
Staiman was called to the service.
Much credit goes to Editor Bob Sullivan and his capable staff consisting of Mildred Richards, Doris Mell, Dorothy Ferrell,
Rosemary Wagar, Blanche Beck, Evalyn Smith, Bill Jones, and
John Bailey for their work on the BLANKET. It does, indeed, as the name implies, "cover the campus."
35 Dramatic Club
Because of present conditions, the club was unable to be as active as it
would like to have been. With Miss Jewett as adviser, Bob Sullivan presided
over the large group drawn together by their mutual love of "the drama," with
Louise Williamson as his assistant, Ruth Applegath to take notes and Bill Jones
known otherwise as "dues please," and Miriam Murray as club historian.
Talent undiscovered and already established was drawn from the group
and very ably displayed throughout the Christmas pageant "In Coventry" and
the four one-act plays the club produced.
The group presented entertainment during many of the blackouts with
monologues and the leading of group singing. Yes, and remember the hayride
they sponsored?
The Dramatic Club in all its phases is just another part of D-Son, but a
very important one; for, through it, participants learn to express themselves,
but most of all they learn what it is to be in a country where types and numbers
of plays are not limited.
36 Theta Pi Pi
Beginning the year with only eight returning members as .i nucleus, and suffering a sharp loss in personnel to the armed services, the Theta Pi Pi has done well to survive throughout the year in such a fine style. The Frat has had a galaxy of officers, including no less than five presidents: Otto Hively, Paul
Levinson, Harry Woltjen, Charlie Weeks, and Strat Taylor.
Socially active as usual, the Theta Pi Pi sponsored a number of activities, most memorable of which were a Victory Dance and the annual banquet, which was again held in the Village Tea Room. Other functions included dances in
Bradley, a "rush" part, and those initiations which no Theta pledgee will ever forget.
Theta basketball flourished with amazing vigor as the Fraternity cagers engaged in a ten-game schedule and hung up a record of four victories against six defeats. Included among its victims were the D-Son varsity, Dorm, and N. Y. A. Center.
We hope that the Frat will be carried on by the boys here next year and that they will derive as much fun and gain as many benefits from it as we have.
Congratulations to the present officers, and a fervent wish for the success of the brothers in the service: Stratford Taylor, president; John Lamade, Dan Corn- well, and Charlie Corson, the rest of the executive board.
37 Student Christian Association
It is essential that the youth develop its religious experience. The S. C. A.
which is composed of boys and girls interested in the field of religion, became
the foundation for youths religious expression at D. J. C.
Each Wednesday evening found a group, whether large or small, assembled
in the old chapel. We heard many ideas and experiences ably expressed by our
fellow classmen studying for the ministry. Boys not studying for the ministry,
however, very capably represented our society in a chapel service this year.
A few of the girls and members of the faculty presided over our meetings, too.
This organization, too, has had a change in officers because of the war.
Those responsible for getting the organization under way this year were Bill
Jones, Lois Lucas, Fred Stiner, Lensworth Cottrell, and Janet Andrews. The
S. C. A. as a whole worked energetically to give us the Student Mixer which
helps us become better acquainted with each other.
We're thankful to be in a country where we, as young people, can worship
God.
38 International Relations Club
OFFICERS
Dan Cornwall ------Prcsiilcnf Thomas Dillon ------\';,c PrcsiJcn/ Louise Williamson ------Secretary Lois Hayes ------Treasurer Dr. Ford Messamore ------Aiiiiser
The International Relations Club played an important part in the life of the stu- dents and faculty during the past year. Dr. Ford Messamore was the faculty adviser and a willing leader.
The meetings were held the third Sunday of every month. Professor Gillette, Miss
Richardson and student discussion groups were prominent attractions.
The main event of the year was a talk by Rene Baurguet. His subject was mainly concerned with a travelogue on Algiers and North Africa. His talk was humorous, informative and delivered in a pleasing manner.

The students at Dickinson give thanks to this committee for their making possible our presence at the Karlton to hear the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra.
Rivka Mandelkern and Ella De Lo Ria were other artists appearing throughout
the year. James Young, who lectured on Japan and Russia, was sponsored in collaboration
with the Clio Club of Williamsport.
This committee consists of both students and faculty, with Dr. Richardson as
chairman. Dr. Dunlap, Dr. Messamore, Dean Skeath, and Miss Budd, Peggy Browne, and
Bob Sullivan compose the remainder of this group.

Vocal Ensemble
Once again the Vocal Ensemble, through hard work and diligent co-operation, has earned the "well done" ot all who have witnessed any of its entertainment.
Under the capable direction of Mrs. Myrra Bates, this group has given many per- formances in the churches of the town, for the Women's Club, and students of D. J. C.
Mrs. Mary Jane Moore, negro soloist, was starred in its Scholarship Aid Concert in the spring. The Double Male Quartet participated in this and many other of its entertainments.
This group has made a fine showing for Dickinson's music department, and its singing has been enjoyed by everyone.
John Wesley Club

The John Wesley Club was reorganized this year. Its functions are designed to benefit the pre-ministerial students of the College, many of whom are now serving pastorates in the vicinity of Williamsport. The hour of meeting has been on Thursday af- ternoon of each week. Speakers are selected from the ministers of the city or other religious workers who have special interests in the activities of the Club. Among the speakers were Dr. John W. Long, President of the College; Dr. C. E. Myers, District Superin- tendent of the Williamsport District (Methodist); and Rev. John B. Howes, Methodist Rural Conference Worker of The Central Pennsylvania Conference.
Chapel Choir
The Chapel Choir, consisting of 22 blended voices, didn't start the year very energetically, but acquired gusto throughout the year.
Under the able supervision of Miss Florence Dewey, they portrayed the role of the church choir in the Christmas pageant presented by the Dramatic Club.
Miss Thelma Shaibley, supported by the choir, rendered two negro spirituals "Nobody Knows," and "Swing Low Sweet Chariot."
Miss Rachel Andrews sang the obligate to the "Brother James Air." "Holy Most
Holy" was the last anthem presented.
These students succeeded in reaching and surpassing their goal of a better choir, although no new features were added to the usual schedule of anthems presented.

Should we wait till May for our prom or have it now before the Reserves leave?
That was the question in the minds of all. Finally, a committee was chosen with Len
Cottrell as chairman. This committee, composed of both faculty and students, really worked hard and gave us a night never to be forgotten—February 5 —the Senior Prom.
A beautiful theme, that of the Northern Lights, was cleverly portrayed by the decorating committe. Something entirely different at D. J. C. was used as favors this year—dance programs, to which we can long refer and recall this night.
Billy Shoulder and his orchestra supplied us with special music. Punch, cookies and sandwiches were served at intermission.
Sophomore Tribunal

Stratford Taylor Doris Mell Harold Smith Rosemary Wagar
Paul Levinson Miriam Murray
The Frosh were well initiated into college life under the supervision of the ever watchful tribunal.
Yellow ribbons, feathers, and black stockings plus no cosmetics did much to add to the girls pulchritude.
The boys brightened the campus with placards, rolled-up pants and bright ties.
They all seemed to enjoy asking permission from a Sophomore to date.
All rules were enforced and those who did not comply, were given the pleasure of wearing curlers to school, eating huckleberry pie with their hands behind their backs, and many other privileges.
42 Week-end Activities Committee
"Let us alleviate studies with clean wholesome fun" has been the motto of the Week-end Activities Committee this year.
The Committee members, composed of five teachers and five students, worked together to give us many Friday night parties in Bradley Hall. Our
Hallowe'en party in the Gym was "scary" and fun. The Tunnel of Horrors which they provided long resounded with the echoes of screams and laughter.
Then, at Christmas time, their diligent efforts were rewarded with the never to be forgotten Christmas Banquet and party. Remember Harry Woltjcn as Santa giving us our Christmas gifts?
We might all sincerely say to this Committee, "Thanks for the Memories."
43 Girls' Dormitory Council
Mixed Octet Girls' Dormitory Council
An integral part of student government at Dickinson is the Boarding Girls' Student
Council which wields no little authority over the lives of the dormitory girls. The
Council is representative of all the classes at Dickinson and is chosen by vote of the
dorm girls. It functions in its official capacity by handing out demerits to naughty dormettes for minor misdemeanors.
In addition to its governmental activities the Council sold soft drinks and sand-
wiches to its charges and used the proceeds to finance the ever popular dorn parties.

War Bond and Stamp Committee
Here is the campus' newest and most timely committee— a group of young patriots who spend their spare moments urging D-Sonites to put their nickels and dimes into war bonds and stamps. Under the capable and efficient guidance of Miss Louise Jcwett,
the committee has achieved excellent results. An outstanding stimulus to increased sales was the series of "booster" programs which the group presented. These were composed
of student talent and included appropriate skits and readings as well as group singing and musical selections by some of the school's more talented musicians.
Congratulations are certainly in order for this energetic aggregation which has done
much toward making an outstanding contribution to Dickinson's war effort.
45 Basketball
In co-operation with a war effort, the sports schedule of
the College was greatly slashed. Due to transportation and the
hardship of arranging a suitable schedule, football was discon-
tinued for the duration. We were all sorry to see this, but in
realizing the situation, the students did their part and are living
in hopes until after the duration.
However, basketball managed to survive, even with the
cancelling and postponement of many games. Under the capable
tutoring of R. E. Hain, the Gold Bugs started their gruelling
training early in December. A large number of boys turned out
for the first call. With this group, "Roily" Hain built his team
around two husky lads with plenty of experience; Charlie Weeks,
and Bob Kerfoot, who was elected captain. Although height was
missing this handicap was covered by speed and fight. When
everything was boiled down, the line-up showed Hamilton and
Weeks, forwards; Toohey, center; Kerfoot and Cornwell, guards.
This team bore the burden throughout the schedule.
46 The reserves saw plenty of action among whom were Smith, John, Fisher, Spissinger, and Follet. CharHe Weeks, the sharpshooting forward, was high scorer for the year, hitting the net for 12 5 points, and Kerfcot next with 75.
Although practice was started early, tjic regular schedule did not get under way until after the Christmas holidays.
For the first game the Gold Bugs traveled to Lewisburg where they encountered the
Penn boys. Still a little new, D-Son found themselves dropping a hard fought battle 42-3 3.
After a little more practice, Coach Main's men awaited the highly successful team from Lock Haven State Teachers College. They had too much experience for the Gold
Bugs who lost to the tune of 6 5-28. It was no disgrace for D-Son who showed fine play. We lacked in height and the 6' center for Lock Haven was too much.
A greatly improved and revised team journey once again to Lewisburg and here tasted the first bite of victory when they took the Penn boys 3 8-2 5. Charlie Weeks was high scorer.
The next game was a heartbreaker. D-Son visited Wyoming Seminary and lost a very close decision in an extra period, 5 5-57.
Returning the visit to Lock Haven, our boys were again beaten; but how those future teachers worked. Final score read, 64-37.
Still burning from their defeat at the hands of Wyoming, D-Sonites waited for their foe. They sprang like tigers and crushed Wyoming, 5 5-34, raking up 18 points in the first quarter and allowing their opponents just 2.
A little later, Selinsgrov.e was invaded by D-Son but made a grand stand in the last quarter and came through with a victory of 31-37.
Once again, the Gold Bugs remained home and defeated Westminster, 5 9-32. On the following night Selinsgrove freshman came to the campus for the last game of the season for D-Sonites. It was a thriller all the way as the teams battled evenly matched for 60 minutes. As in all sports, breaks must come and fate decreed them to Susquehanna who ended on top with a score of 49-45.
47 Intramural Sports
Girls of the Junior College found themselves under the super-
vision of a new director of Women's Physical Education, Miss Helen
R. Watkins.
The fall activities included outside sports such as archery, tennis
and badminton, all of which gained great favor with the girls.
With the coming of Jack Frost and his little snow flake, the girls
moved indoors where they became acquainted with the 16' x 5 0' swim-
ming pool, the bowling alleys, and engaged in intramural basketball,
as well as playing the newly acquired game of badminton. To add
to these pleasures a new diving board was installed and two new sets
of pins were bought for the bowling alleys. It seems that bowling
was most popular among the girls who really rolled some high scores.
In accordance with the physical fitness program throughout the
nation. Coaches Hain and Watkins planned a simple but energetic
obstacle course which was used by both girls and boys. It included
ropes, rings, the buck and the horse along with a spring board and other
apparatus. There were many sore muscles at first but they toughened
with time.
It must be said that during the absence of Miss Watkins, who
unfortunately broke her ankle, the program was continued by her
assistants from the student body. Miss Louise Williamson and Miss
Elsa Johanson.
THETA'S FORM TEAM
Something new was added this year to the interest of sports.
The Theta Pi Pi Fraternity under the coaching of Charlie Weeks and
Strat Taylor formed a basketball team which proved to be very suc-
cessful. With the starting team of Ed Kazunas and Strat Taylor
as forwards, T. Konstant as center, Paul Fleck and G. Cooper as guards
and plenty of good reserves, the fraternity played several games with
48 local teams of Billtown, including the Squires N. Y. A. Center, St. Joe
High and the varsity of D-Son. They totaled 4 victories against 6 defeats, once defeating the varsity.
The boys of the college played basketball and softball, bowled and swam, as well as crossing the obstacle course. Much to the sorrow of the boys. Coach Hain led them in body building calesthenics.
CHEERLEADERS RETAINED
Although many sports were dropped, D-Son still maintained their spirit-rousers, the cheerleaders. Of the games in which they had a chance to appear, they did a splendid job. The cheering squad directed by "Dottie" Fcrrell and aided by her cast of Louise Williamson,
"Torchie" Crooks, "Ken" Day and "Strat" Taylor, obtained the best cheering D-Son has had for several moons.
49 Appreciation
0) HE Editor of the Dart wishes to ex- tend thanks to the staff for its fine co-opera- tion and splendid work this year. Also, to
Mr. Hand and Mr. Stiber of the Grit Pub- lishing Company goes a vote of appreciation for their very capable direction and guid- ance in the editing and publishing of the
Dart. To these and to the many others,
who, though not officially recognized as staff
members, we say "thanks" for a fine job
done under the most trying circumstances.
Without their assistance it would have been
totally impossible to make this record of the
past two years at Dickinson.
