YOUNGSTOWN UNIVERSITY Youngstown, Ohio · Foreword We, as college students and potential graduates, m11st ask ourselves what 1s and what will be expected of us. l\lany of us have never taken time to analyze our actual positions. But because we arc supposedly mature young men ar11l women, we cannot avoid considering the social position demanded of us as people with college back- grounds. We arc torn between two forces-privilege and responsibility. On the one hand, society gives us certain privileges significant of its awareness of our c(lucational baekground. 011 the other hand, by giving us these privileges, it heaps innumerable responsibilities upon us. The responsibilities arc what we find difiicult. to consider, but we must. Our responsibility .starts in the classroom. \Ve must admit that it is often simple to get, without much effort, a passing grade in some three-hour courses. However, we can only present ourselves as responsible people through intensive effort in the attainment of knowledge. So~iety gives us the privilege and re- 0 sponsibility of being critical of what 1s gomg on ahout us. Only through excellence in all we do, can we be competent critics of our society. \Ve cannot simply be critical; we must also be constructive and creative in our approach to our society. \Ve must offer workable solutions to the prob- lems made evident by our criticisms. Th.it is why our first responsibility begins in the classroom, for here we can gain information and thought to guide us in our responsible positions. The responsibility rloes not end with the acquirement of the degree. · Rather, it becomes greater and often harder to manage, for the classroom discipline is removed. We must eventually depend upon ourselves. The privi- leges gained from being college students do not seem equal' to the great re- sponsibilities we acquire, but it is a worthwhile privilege to acquire the ability to fulfill great responsibility adequately.

Members of the Board are men active in civic and industrial affairs in the Mahoning and Shenango Valleys. Their participation in civic and industrial affairs in this area has prepared them to understand the problems that a city college such as Youngstown University faces. Not only can they understand the many problems, but their experience has given them the ability to offer creative solutions for the betterment of Youngstown University. In this year of 1959, the beginning of a new half-century for Youngstown University, the students thank the Board for its achievements which have made the University a finer place in which to study.

Jones has been the leader of Youngstown University for twenty-seven years. He has worked tirelessly and effectively to guide the school to a more substantial position in the community. It would be impossible to list the multitude of things which President Jones has achieved for the University in these nventy-seven years. Most important is the increase in its academic stature, only partly indicated by the University's acceptance in national organizations: the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary schools, the Department of Education of the State of Ohio, the American l\'ledical Association, the A. A. U. W., and others. President Jones was also responsible for bringing the R.O.T.C. into the University, and inter- collegiate football was added to the sport's program early in his administration. President Jones has been largely responsible for these achievements through his driving energy and administrative skill, and through it all he has never veered from his purpose of giving Youngstown a finer University. President Jones deserves the highest praise and gratitude from the student body on this twenty-seventh year of his guidance of the University. 13 DEAN OR. JOSEPH E. SMITH Dr. Joseph E. Smith came to Youngstown University as a part-time in- structor in 1921. He was later appointed head of the Social Science Department and Dean of Men. In 1949 he assumed his present role as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and Dean of the University. The duties of Dean are time-consuming and varied. For instance, the re- cruitment and supervision of faculty personnel take a large part of his time. But he has always been understanding and friendly in spite of the difficulty of his tasks. Dr. Smith distinguished himself as an undergraduate. He was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University in London. He received his A.B. degree from Oxford, his A.M. from Nebraska University and his Ph.D. from Wallas College, London, England. 14 REGISTRAR PHILIP P.

He has, through his work with the Ohio, State Collegiate Registrars Association, and the American Association of Collegiate Registrars, kept in constant contact with the numerous and extensive problems of registration.

GILLESPIE John P. Gillespie was selected Dean of Men in 1957. His tasks are manifold as well as time-consuming.

Dean Gillespie has earned the respect of the students and faculty of Youngs- town University through his integrity and consistency in all his undertakings. His tactfulness and executive abilit:V make possible the efficiency of the Uni- versity. 16 i:>EAN OF WOMEN OuvE P.

Albert L. Linder, protestant chap- lain at Youngstown University since April I, . 1948, has been a guiding inspiration to all stu- dents. A few of his many duties are advisor to the Religion in Life Fellowship group, conduct- ing weekly chapel services, and counseling students, staff, and faculty members. Before coming to the university, Rev. Linder served as pastor at the Triniry Baptist Church, Dayton; First Baptist Church, Freehold, New Jersey; and the Park Avenue Baptist Church in Mansfield. He is a graduate o.f Denison University where he received the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy, and Colgate - Rochester Divinity School where he was awarded the Bachelor of Divinity degree. FATHER PAUL M. PETRIC Father Petric is the advisor for Catholic stu- dents at Youngstown University. He attended Sts. Peter and Paul's school and Ursuline High School in Youngstown, St. Joseph's College in Indiana and St. Mary's Seminary in Cleveland. Being a native of Youngstown is a valuable prerequisite to his position as advisor to Catholic students because he is familiar with problems that prevail in this locality. Father Petric is the sponsor of the Newman Club at the University and is in charge of the weekly chapel held at St. Joseph Church. 31 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President-Dale Cunningham Vice-President-John Gillespie Secretary-Larry Baytos Treasurer-Dave Houlihan It becomes increasingly hard to say something fitting to a group of approxi- mately 600 people who have now become seniors having complete four, five, and even six or more years of college work. Many students have been graduated in the past and there will be even more to come in the future years, but each graduating class is something unique in itself. How is the class o.f 1959 different? For that ans,ver, we have only to ask any one of its members-members who have studied four solid years; mem- bers who have necessarily studied intermittently for perhaps seven years; members, some of whom started in 1950, 1952, or 1955, members who may not even know each other. To each one of them it is the only graduating class. To the graduating class of 1959 then, we sincerely hope that their time spent here has been enjoyable, memorable, and most of all worthwhile. 34 Seniors 1959 Abbas, Adelaide A.

Giving new life to a recently renewed base sport, the Penguins got a "red-hot" streak in the C NAIA playoffs and went on to beat Ashland, and Baldwin-Wallace, 11-8, for the Ohio crowr baseball. Coach Dom Rosselli deserves much credit for way he was ab le to re-build the Penguin base team after such a long time without a Y oungstc diamond entry.

TOP PLATEMEN 173 Finishing the season with a fine 11-6 record was good enough for the Ohio N AIA championship, and considering the outstanding array of opponents the record is definitely good. Standing out for their individual performances were po,verhouse hitters Ron Stoops, who joined the Washington Senators after graduation, Rich Suchora, local sandlot star, and little Don Parm who wields a big stick at the plate. Charley Bushman, Mike Santor, Tom Raphtis, and Chris DeAscenzio all did a coinmendable job on the mound for the Penguins. The entire team shou ld be congratulated for bringing Youngstown the NAIA crown in baseball. PENGUIN PITCHING STARS r Ace Penguin Pitchers.
