571 134^7 W5 1952 DEDICATION Member of the original faculty of twenty-five years ago, along with Dr. Helen M. Scurr, to whom the 1948 yearbook was dedicated, Dr. Clarence D. L. Ropp represents the scholarship, the friendliness, the spirit of the University through the years of its existence. Many of us will long remember his scholarliness, his helpful guidance, the hours spent in his classes, his enthusiasm for athletics, his friendly "Hello!" on Park Place, and his "Luck to you! ” with which he concludes talks at class meetings. Just as his life has been dedi cated to the enhancement of the prestige, reputation, and glory of U.B., so it is to him, with the most profound respect and appreciation, that this 1952 WISTARIAN is dedicated.

Excellent instruction of small classes marked the Junior College of Connecti cut for several years. Professor William W. Everett, still on the UB faculty, joined the staff in the early years of the institution’s history.

STUDENT COUNCIL The students of the University of Bridgeport have established a representative form of government and have dedicted it to the ideals and principles of the form of government under which we live as American citizens. In seeking to promote good citizenship and democratic fellowship, it is the belief of the Student Council that a representative student government gives indivi dual students the experience of active participation in governmental procedure, and further develops in each student a sense of personal responsibility for the welfare of the University community of which he is an integral part.

STUDENT COUNCIL ADVISORY COMMITTEE The S.C.A.C. is the communicating link between the individual student and the members of the Student Council. S.C.A.C. is composed of representatives from every organization, fraternity, sorority, and dormitory on campus. At the weekly meetings, any student may bring problems and suggestions to this group for consideration. If further action is needed in any case, the findings are submitted to the Student Council for additional investigations and opinion. The Student Council may then act on or return the case to the S.C.A.C. for action upon the issue. The S.C.A.C. this year, under the Presidency of Ronald Brandenburg, has dealt with the matter of school spirit, the proposed activity point system, Student Council elections, and The Scribe. STUDENT SPIRIT COMMITTEE Student spirit is a vital factor on every college campus. This year, for the purpose of injecting into the student body a more intense loyalty and pride pertaining to all campus activities, the Student Spirit Committee of the S.C.A.C. was founded. The Student Spirit Committee has been particularly notice able at football games. Arrangements were made for decorated cars, police escorts, and a general air of hiilarity as part of the pre-game ceremonies. When football games were away from home, the committee chartered buses and arranged motorcades. The group continued throughout the year to urge lively par ticipation in all extra-curricular activity.

FELLOWSHIP FORUM The Student Faculty Fellowship Forum was organized during the summer of 1951 for the purpose of furthering more amiable relations between students and faculty. Operating through the Hazen Foundation, the Forum has sponsored several informal faculty-student socials that have served to strengthen and encourage an atmosphere more fully conducive to the ideals, aims, and objectives of our educational community. NATIONAL STUDENT ASSOCIATION The University of Bridgeport is a chartered mem ber of the National Student Association. The United States National Student Association, formed in 1947, is a non-political, non-sectarian organization of more than 330 democratically-elected student governments of American colleges and universities. National Stu dent Association represents more than 800,000 Ameri can students and has won representation on the United States National Commission for UNESCO.

The magazine was first pub lished in the Spring of 1948 by a group of English majors encouraged by President James H. Halsey. Helicon is a medium in which all University students are afforded the opportunity to publish their creative writings. The maga zine also provides a workshop for critical analysis of student writing when so desired. All essays, short stories, and poems that are submitted throughout the year are carefully con sidered by the staff members and the most suitable are se lected for publication. Membership on the Helicon staff is open to all students on campus interested in writing regard less of their majors. 64 CAMPUS PRODUCTIONS The Office of Campus Productions is celebrating its sixth anniver sary this year. From an occasional one-act play at convocations in 1946, OCP has grown into a well-scheduled producing organization. The popularity of OCP rests on the fact that their productions present such a variety of programs that they inevitably appeal to many. The produc tions are grand and lavish. Student participation and acting are enthus iastically undertaken and are largely responsible for OCP’s successes to date. The policy of OCP is gradually turning to higher calibre selections which will assure future success.

Requirements for membership include fine character and moral standing, a grade point ratio of at least 3.2 overall and of 3.5 in the field of major study, and are equivalent in most respects to the standards of Phi Beta Kappa. No higher honor for scholastic achievement could have been awarded than member ship in Aristeia. It is an honor that is neither bestowed nor received lightly, and is a mark of intellect integrity, and aspiration. PHI THETA KAPPA Members of Phi Theta Kappa must be of good moral character and must have dem onstrated a capacity for sustained excellence in their studies. Tire membership of the chapter is limited by the national constitution to no more than ten percent of the number of students enrolled in the Junior College.

The organization offers its members a wide variety of intellectual and social activities in which many of the members themselves participate. Among the events of the year were lectures given by the novelist, James Ronald and Herb Gochros, the "gag” writer for the New Yorker. Thomas O’Donnell, a rare book dealer, gave a lecture on first editions in conjunction with a book exhibit. The Society members saw a Broadway production of Shaw’s St. Joan and after the play the members were received backstage by the leading star, Uta Hagen. A Sleep of Prisoners by Christopher Fry was seen at the United Church in Bridgeport. This organization welcomes all those people who are interested in literature, drama, writing, or languages.

ENGINEERING SOCIETY The Engineering Society was founded for the purpose of advancing and disseminating knowledge of the theory and practice of engineering, the presentation of a proper per spective of engineering work, and the opportunity to promote a professional conscious ness and fellowship among students of the School of Engineering of the University of Bridgeport. A part of the purpose was accomplished by a series of lectures and tours to local industrial plants. In this way they supplemented the theory they learned in the classroom by studying the practical applications of technical knowledge. A proper perspective towards their profession was also derived by these tours. Fellowship was integrated by various social functions carried on at different times of the year. A "Greaseball” dance, at which Anne Cassidy was crowned "Miss Functional Design," was one of the more prominent co-ed affairs. In the winter season a banquet, strictly stag, was scheduled to give old members and alumni an opportunity to bid their schoolmates farewell.

INTER-FRATERNITY COUNCIL The work of sponsoring good-will and cooperation among the fraternities and sorori ties of the University has been undertaken by the Inter-Fraternity Council. The Council was founded in 1947 by the Greek Letter men, and in 1948 its charter was adopted. The purpose of this organization is to have the ideas of the several fraterni ties and sororities presented by their delegates and considered by all. An important project is the planning of the school social calendar for the succeeding year. This year the Council presented its Thousand Point Award to Lou Saccone and Gus Seaman for their outstanding performance in basketball. The Greek Letter Dance is given annually by this group.

SIGMA PHI ALPHA The first fraternity to be chartered on the U.B. campus, Sigma Phi Alpha, has found this to be one of its most active years. The Sigma Phi Alpha $100 scholarship, given annually to the outstanding athlete prominent in the academic field, was awarded to Lou Saccone, co-captain of the U.B. foot ball team. The University’s 1951-52 fraternity social season was opened by this organization with the Autumn Hop, a gala affair which had as its keynote the beginning of the Fall season. This past Yuletide season was brightened with Sigma Phi Alpha’s fully decorated Christmas tree in the Snack Bar. The group participated in "Fraternity Day” which con sisted of collecting money for the Salvation Army. During the fall and spring semesters, candidates were pledged to the fraternity. They wore the colorful regalia that has become a tradition for men pledging to Sigma Phi Alpha. After the completion of the pledge period, these men were added to the Sigma Phi Alpha roster. THETA SIGMA Theta Sigma Fraternity, founded by veterans of World War II, has developed in r members the highest qualities of leadership. An example may be found in the innumerable offices and positions held in the history of the University since the beginning of fraterni ties in 1947. Not only has the fraternity undertaken leadership in the campus community, but also in the field of civic leadership. Projects sponsored in their civic aid program include the annual Christmas party for the Crippled Children’s Workshop, the Easter Seal Campaign, the Salvation Army Drive, and, most recently, "Operation Red Cross". Frater nity undergraduates maintain their close bonds of fellowship upon graduation by the organization of a sound Alumni Association. The Alumni sponsors two memorable week ends each year, the Homecoming and Reunion. The undergraduates also sponsor a week end at the beginning of the fall semester, in honor of their new pledges. Their week end is highlighted by a most impressive initiation ceremony. Social functions also include the Winter Ball and a planned schedule of informal gatherings. The success of the fraternity may be attributed to the unyielding devotion to fellow members and to the fraternity name.

DELTA EPSILON BETA Approved November 24, 1947, Delta Epsilon Beta was founded on the principles of brotherhood and sociability. Delta Epsilon Beta prides itself on being one of the most well-rounded fraternities on the U.B. campus. It places equal emphasis on studies .social activities, and sports. In addition to the participation of many of its active members in intramural sports, there were men who were members of last year’s varsity football team. The fraternity tradition includes a periodic pledge period during which prospective members are tested and initiated without public embarrassment. Delta Epsilon Beta’s biggest social event is its annual Saint Patrick’s Day dance. Scholastic achievement is furthered in the fraternity by requiring pledges to spend a given amount of time each night studying under the supervision of one of the brothers. Each year, Delta Epsilon Beta ends its activities with a picnic in honor of the grad uating fraternity brothers. First row: William Stine, Corr.

PI OMEGA CHI Founded on the principles of fellowship, mutual aid, and leadership, Pi Omega Chi has been in prominence since 1947. This fifth anniversary season was' a jubilee for the fraternity. The year’s schedule of activities opened with a reunion in the fall and ended with a final banquet. At their annual Sweetheart Ball, the members crowned Anne Fritz, "Sweetheart of Pi Omega Chi”. Pi Omega Chi’s participation in the Christmas Kettle Carnival resulted in the win ning of the Salvation Army’s "Tree of Lights” award. With a balance of dignity and chivalry, Pi Omega Chi conducted its traditional membership rituals. They were climaxed by torchlight parades to the statue of P. T. Barnum, the fraternity’s patron. The sparkle and brilliance of the BG-POC Silver Mardi Gras are long to be remem bered. The event provided the natural culmination to a most successful season.

ALPHA GAMMA PHI In the latter months of 1947, a small group of students were united to form a social fraternity for the purpose of promoting peace, charity, scholarship, and fellowship among all men, irrespective of color, race, or creed. These are the ideals upon which Alpha Gamma Phi was founded. For the pledges who have been accepted into the fraternity, Alpha Gamma Phi dis penses with "Hell Week” and honors the pledges with a welcoming dinner after their probationary period. An outstanding objective of Alpha Gamma Phi is the promotion of college enthu siasm. To accomplish this goal, the fraternity established an annual award to be presented to the individual who has demonstrated qualities of leadership at U.B. This year the award went to Joseph Iovino. At the annual picnic, we find Alpha Gamma Phi’s lighter side The Sword and Shield dance, a semi-annual affair, is held primarily for entertainment, but has also fostered friend ship among the students, Alpha Gamma Phi members, and Alpha Gamma Phi alumni. KAPPA BETA RHO February, 1948, the inception date of Kappa Beta Rho on the University of Brie!:; port campus, heralded the organization of a social fraternity based on the principles fellowship, truth, and honor. The organizations’ early members created the constitute. . and gained the recognition of the University authorities in March of that year. Kappa Beta Rho prides itself on intra-mural sport activities, having retired the bas! ' .ball trophy last season for the third successive year. The fraternity has also had the distiiv. tion of having members on all varsity teams, thus culminating the combined efforts o:* the entire fraternity to be of service to U.B. The scholarship status of the members of Kappa Beta Rho has been above average and previously has earned recognition by accumulating the highest average grade point ratio of any campus organization. Kappa Beta Rho’s alumni are many, maintaining close ties with active members and their social activities. The ranks will increase with those men who are graduating this year; and through close association with future brothers will build even greater traditions and connecting ties through broherhood. i I !

This year the members combined their efforts in planning and fulfilling an active social calendar which consisted of a fall dance, a student-faculty tea, rush "coke” parties and dinners, a Christmas party for the Main Street Day Nursery, community dona tions, pledge week antics, and a sparkling Silver Mardi Gras dance. The pledges, after whizzing down Main Street on roller skates, cheering with paper bags on their heads at a U.B. basketball game, and sleeping very lightly at a slumber jambo- rie, took the membership oath in a solemn candlelight ceremony. It is at this solemn moment that each and every member of Beta Gamma realizes that treasured sisterhood is attained not only through social accomplishments bur also through the full comprehen sion of the meaning of honor, loyalty, truth, and sincerity.

ALPHA DELTA OMEGA Alpha Delta Omega was formed by a group of engineering students in November, 1948, and now has students from all schools of the University. The fraternity motto is "Peace, Justice, and Fraternity.” Alpha Delta Omega’s purpose is to create a closely knit, cooperative group to whom fame is not essential, while brother hood is. The traditional "Hail and Farewell” dance is the biggest event on Alpha Delta Omega’s social calender. The brothers of Alpha Delta Omega give an annual summer picnic. The picnic is held to reunite the alumni who come from all parts of the country to attend. The fraternity has participated in the annual Circus Dance and has won three consecutive annual prizes. 93 SIGMA LAMBDA CHI Sigma Lambda Chi was organized in the fall of 1950 and is founded on the pri • of fostering brotherhood regardless of race or creed and encouraging integrity. lo' ~ and scholarship. Of the original twenty brothers of Sigma Lambda Chi, ten are still members. Six states, as well as the countries of Siberia and Greece, are represented in rite present membership. Although a young fraternity, Sigma Lambda Chi has established several precedents which are becoming traditional on the U.B. campus. Straw-hatted, bow-tied pledges are seen twice each year, and the serenading of those girls pinned by brothers is well known at most of the women’s dormitories. The social nature of the fraternity served an excellent purpose this year; proceeds from the Leap Year Leap were pledged to the Student Devel opment Fund.

With the able assistance of the administration and local sports people, a schedule, equipment, and facilities were set up in rapid order and the sport became a reality on the campus. The first football coach in 1948 was Chet Gladchuck, former All-Ameri can and center for the professional New York Giants. This first year, the Purple Knights lost only half of the eight games played. The season was culminated by an upset victory over Kings Point, and the Little All-American mention of Co-Captain Tim Ramik. For the past three years, the Purple and White Team has been coached by Walter Kondratovich. The record during his tenure has been: won 5 — lost 2 in 1949; won 5 — lost 4 in 1950; and won 3 — tied 1 — lost 4 in 1951.

Coach Nicholas played football at Brown University for four years, and Coach Kon dratovich started off at Notre Dame on the fresh man team. He then transferred to Columbia Uni versity where the famous Lou Little moulded our coach into the fine mentor we have today. Besides the head coach duties, "Kay” also finds time to teach biology and to coach the track team. Through the years, the coaching staff has been assisted by such men as A1 Sherman and Dr. Francis Dolan. After several weeks of intensive training and practice the Purple Knights opened the season against a favored Adelphi eleven. Combining a fast charg ing ground attack with an accurate aerial offensive, the Purple and White overpowered their opponents to the tune of 20-12. Adroitly utilizing his material, Coach Kondratovich successfully molded the team into a smooth working machine, as all future opponents soon found out. Teachers College of Connecticut was next to feel the power of the UB gridsters, as their highly rated team was held to a 7-7 tie. In Pennsylvania, the Wilkes-Barre eleven avenged the previous year's defeat by beating UB 25-7. The following week, the Purple Knights experienced their biggest upset when Arnold College came from behind to win 20-13 in the closing minutes of the game. New Haven followed suit by conquering the Seasiders 41-0, the first time in four years that NHSTC has defeated UB on the grid iron.

On November 28, the Bridgeport quintet took the floor for the first time. Their opponent was Westover Air Force Base, paced by the former All- American from Kansas State, Bobby Harmon. When the final whistle blew, the UBees emerged victorious and were well on their way toward chalking up their 21 victories. After walloping Pratt Institute 66-43, the Knights took to the road for the first time, meeting Iona College up in New Rochelle, N. Y. The height Oi the Iona cagesters proved too big a handicap, and Bridgeport took their first loss, 78-56. Recouping their graces, the Glinesmen next met the highly touted team from the New York Athletic Club, in New York. Playing what perhaps amounted to their finest game ever, the Knights defeated the Wing Foots by an impressive score of 78-60. Given a new life, the University of Bridgeport took the next eight straight games, including victories over Hillyer College (73-48), Hartwick College (70-53), Adelphi College (57-46), New Haven (80-42), Alumni (84-48), Arnold College (86-63), Fairfield University (85-66), and Rider College (69-65).

COACH HERBERT GLINES Herbert E. Glines, UB Director of Athletics as well as Head Coach of basketball, has molded one of the finest teams in the New England area. Since his arrival at the University in 1945, his basketball teams have accumulated a total of 92 wins against 59 losses. In the 1947-48 season, the Purple Knights ranked ninth nationally among U.S. senior colleges in offensive play. During that year, the team also won the Connecticut Junior College Conference Cham pionship. This past season, the Glinesmen racked up a 21-7 record, their best ever. The congenial menter led the team to third place in the New England District of the NAIB, and fifth place among all New England teams including Boston College, Yale University, Holy Cross, and the University of Connecticut. Mr. Glines is a graduate of the University of New Hampshire where he played football, basketball, and lacrosse, winning All New England honors in the latter. He received an MA degree from Columbia University.

I 102 Charlie Stetson Ernie Amaral Accepting a bid to compete in the New England Region Tournament of the NAIB, the Purple Knights made school history. Never before had a UB team been invited to a tourna ment, and so the 1951-52 Knights became the first. Entraining for Waterville, Maine, the contingent consist ing of 13 men, was off to bring glory to the University of Bridgeport. First round of competition brought Providence College against American International, with UB opposing Colby College in the feature event. The White Mules of Colby, with their exceptional height, Fred Flashenberg defeated UB after a furious fight that saw neither team give an inch. Final score was 83-70, with Gus Seaman dunking in 22 points, and Charlie Stetson contributing 20. The next night however, told a different story. The Knights met Providence College and emerged victorious to gain third place. Stetson again tallied 20 points as the final score read 77-69. For their exceptional performances, both Charlie Stetson and Gus Seaman were elected to the All-Tournament Team. Charlie had the added honor of being the tournament's highest scorer with 40 points, and also the second freshman ever se lected for all star honors. # * # Added highlight of the 1951-52 season was the annexing of the Knight’s 16th consecutive victory at home. The UBees last loss came at the hands of a strong New Britain five on February 17, 1951, by the score of 72-67. Another outstanding feature of the year was the breaking of the single season scoring record by Lou Saccone. In breaking his own record set one year previously, Lou hung up 475 points, a feat that will long stand. He also became the first man to total 1000 points for the Purple and White, breaking the mark on February 23 against Becker College. Exactly one week later, Gus Seaman followed suit, scoring 12 points against Saint Anselm’s Bill Tielert Lou Radler to enter the magic circle. Still more honors were heaped upon the UB cagesters when three members were selected for the All-Area Team. Co- Captains Dick LaBash and Gus Seaman, and center Lou Sac- cone were unanimous choices. For Gus and Lou, it was a repeat performance, having won the honor last year. Freshman Charlie Stetson was voted to the second team, while team mate Ernie Amaral was given Honorable Mention. Stan Silverberg Marshall Lowe Ray Hirth TRACK Charles Hayward, Dick Ellis, Phil DuBreiul, Bob Weiss, and Harold Austern. The track team, in its fourth year at the University of Bridgeport, has the strongest squad ever assembled. With Walt Kondratovich at the helm the Purple Knight tracksters will compete with such strong col leges as Hofstra, Arnold, New Britain, Bryant, and GOLF New Haven. Such stalwarts as Ray Hirth, Lou Sac- cone, and Joe Kerpchar for the heavy events, and Charlie Stetson, Hank Steffans, and Ralph Armstrong for the speed meets should place this years team high in the history of UB track. More emphasis is being placed on track this year than any former year. Coach Kondratovich has pledged himself to bring forth the best record that the Purple and White spike and cinder team has ever had.

TENNIS- The 1951 "Racquetts” were led by Larry Seamon, cap tain of the UB Tennis Team. Larry was considered a top- notch tennis player, with an accurate, fast-driving serve and a good forehand. Morty Levy, another outstanding member of UB’s tennis team, had a steady game and was equally effective with his serve, forehand and backhand. With these two men as a nucleus, the team went on to compile the out standing record of seven wins and one loss. Defeating such teams as: Fairleigh-Dickinson, 6-1, and 6-3; Arnold, 6-3; Hofstra, 5-4; Panzer, 6-3; and New Britain Teachers, 6-3; the Purple and White lost only to Newark College, 6-3.

BASEBALL The University of Bridgeport Baseball team began the 1951 season by dropping its first two contests, but as the year progressed, improvement could be seen, not only in the individual player, but also in the team as a whole. Babe Longo was outstanding in the out field, and Flal Trischman gave the opposing pit chers plenty to worry about everytime he stepped to the plate. Hal -was awarded the Baseball Trophy for the highest batting average on the team. With such men as these, good teamwork, and proficient coaching, the club went on to win three games before the end of the season. In the pitching department, Don Henckel showed the opposing batter a fine assortment of fast balls and sharp breaking curves. When they did hit his stuff, Walt Budney was there to back him up by picking up hard hit grounders and throwing them to first for the out. With Budney, there was Tom Tedesco, Joe Iovino, and Steve Michaels to provide a tight infield. First row: John Micka; John Nute; John Longo; Tom Tedcsco; Lionel McCabe. Second row: Coach Herbert Glincs; Don Henckel; Russell Lund; Andy Olayos; Joe Iovino; Frank Castel- lucci, Manager. Third row: Steve Michaels; Bob Gold; Nick Levycky; Bob Gioscia; Lou Saccone.

Numerous football motorcades, pep ral lies, and that extra special "railroad station” tribute to U.B.’s basketball team, have highlighted a year of campus enthusiasm. A salute to the cheerleaders is in reality a tribute to Mrs. Herbert Glines, who has unselfishly devoted her time on their behalf, and to the U.B. students without whose spirited cooperation all cheerleading efforts would have been in vain. Captain Ruth Bowden, you couldn’t miss her if you've ever seen a school game — cheerleader for four years — captain for three — through her vivacious, go-getting spirit has spurred our teams to victory and sympa- r!i./. when needed. .'h has the distinction of being the first co-ed to earn four varsity - ids for her cheering activities, and leaves behind a vivid memory H, blond bombshell.
