Your Deadline is December 1st. PostScript Christmas Cotillion Sat. Eve Dec. 13 Hotel Saranac Vol. II, Number 2 PAUL SMITH'S COLLEGE, PAUL SMITHS, NEW YORK November 24, 1947 Campus Eleven Trounces Deerwood Taking full advantage of Deer- wood’s weak line and making full use of several pass interceptions, the Campus Commandos scuttled the Deerwood Devils to the tune of 14 to 6 to carry off the laurel wreath in a hard-fought, bitterly contested game Saturday, November 1st on Zaks field before a sell-out crowd of two hundred students and guests. These two teams proved beyond a shadow of doubt, that this healthy climate and rugged fron tier environment builds strong bod ies and keen minds. The first tally came early in the first quarter when the Devils at tempted to kick out of danger on their own 8-yard line but fumbled, forcing them to recover for a touch- back and the first Commando score. In the second quarter, both teams opened up an aerial attack but to little effect. Brilliant interceptions on the part of Allen saved the Commandos from a number of em barrassing situations. The Deer wood backfield, sparked by Larry Reid, tried every trick in the book to stem the crushing onslaught of the Commandos' areial and ground attack but in the third quarter, Burns intercepted on the Devils 30-yard line. Through beautiful blocking and a magnificent exhibi tion of broken field running, he rail the gauntlet for the Campus hoys’ second touchdown. Matti- more was called in to kick the extra point but failed by inches. In the same quarter the Deer wood boys struck back with still plenty of fight and scored for the first and only time on a pass to Reid in the end zone. It was in this quarter that Steve Ross, who had been playing a wonderful game at R.E.. was injured while attempting to knock down a pass. In the last quarter, the campus hoys shoved over another tally to put the game on ice but had to fight for every inch of ground. Just before the final gun. Pee Wee Banash dashed seventy yards only to be pulled down within the shadow of the goal posts. BUS IS HERE . . . Culminating a series of delays, factory representative excuses, steel shortages and strikes, and campus jokes, the Paul Smith's College BUS finally is a reality. Conform ing almost in unison to the school colors with a cream and green visage, it sports additional items of specially built inside and outside pipe-tpye racks for the storage of baggage and skis. It was ordered from Glen J. Harvey Company in Saranac Lake, painted in Albany, and had it's origin in Indiana. A few of its salient attributes are an emergency door in the rear, ven tilating windows, safety entrance steps, new Dodge motor, all steel construction, and seating capacity of forty nine. It is presently being used for the transportation of Deer wood students to and from the crmpus. It will be used for all student activities. Married Students at the Hallowee'n Dance Colorful Dance Initiates First Social Function The moment they walked in the door of our new combination ball room and gymnasium, the charming young ladies from Potsdam and sur rounding communities were greet ed with the most magnificent dis play of decoration, soft music and Hallowe’en atmosphere, they had ever had the good fortune of wit- nessing. The Art and Recreation Committees had left no stone un turned to make the initial dance in our social program, for the com ing year, a bubbling success. Eighty-seven couples attended with a generous representation on the part of the faculty, who from all reports enjoyed themselves as much as the carefree students. The function was informal with cos tumes ranging from dungarees to double-breasted suits. Clare Taro’s orchestra, from Malone, renowned throughout the North Country for his versatility in the masterful art of music com position, satisfied those who pre ferred to jitterbug, those who pre ferred to waltz and those who merely like to dance. A delicious brand of genuine apple cider with gastronomical sat isfying doughnuts was served for refreshments to the happy throng. The jovial evening reached its zenith at 10 o’clock when two con tests began — one for the cham pion jiterbug duet and one for the best waltz team. Several couples participated in both contests with a maximum of enthusiasm. Bob Jones, w’lio spends the major portion of his spare time looking for compe tition, won the hotly contested jitterbug revue, with Shirley Ander son from Potsdam State Teachers College as his partner. The waltz contest was won by Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Scott in a smooth exhibi tion, comparable only to Arthur Murray’s professional teams. The evening drew to a close at 12:00 when it was necessary for the young ladies from Potsdam to leave. From the very beginning our first dance was extremely suc cessful, for which credit must go to the Recreation Committee for their untiring efforts in producing this fall classic. We sincerely hope that the girls who came as blind dates enjoyed themselves and we look forward to having them return for future social functions. Ross First Casualty Steve Ross, recuperating from hors de combat, will possibly be with us again to read this issue, according to his physician, Dr. Gedroiz. Steve’s left arm was badly broken below the elbow, and a steel plate was used- to strengthen the joint which was torn. During the bitterly contested battle on the gridiron Nov. first, Steve, after many brilliant recep tions while playing end for the Com mandos, was once more in the cen ter of a scramble for the pigskin. When the mass of players untangled themselves he was alone on the turf with the first major injury in curred on the field of competition for P. S. C. . . . Curt Hopkins was on the scene to drive the casualty to Saranac for treatment and Steve was admitted to the Saranac Gene ral Hospital. After a physician’s consultation, it was decided that the injury was serious and the patient would have to remain there for at least three weeks. Let's hope the radio given to him by his fellow students affords him some of the interest he has donated to all school activities in which he has part icipated. With the rising widespread fame of Paul Smith's College, the campus will soon bear evidences of con struction such as was witnessed this past summer and during the tall of 1946. President Leasure met with the otlice executives at 101 Park Avenue, New York City, and has expedited and completed the contracts with The Federal Works Agency Bureau of Commun ity Facilities. They have selected the Delval Construction Corpora tion of Scarsdale, New York for the purpose of moving the two structures from the Rome, N.Y., air- base to Paul Smith’s College campus and erect them on this site. The tearing down and erecting program will begin immediately through the Delval’s Utica otlice. The buildings are of substantial frame construc tion, one story, 3082 and 4884 square feet respectively and will contain hard maple floors. The blue prints call for completion within ninety days unless inclement weather pre vents or retards the operations. According to reports received from Mr. Leasure’s otlice, most of the furnishings have already been made available and standard office equip ment and supplies will be installed. The larger of the two buildings is to be erected between “The Hut” and the cafeteria, in front of the central heating plant; and the iocai site for the smaller one is yet to be determined. Potential plans for the “ located one” will include the Forestry Department and combined use as a student union building, and student recreational activities. It will also accommodate the trans- (continued on page 6, col. 4) Resorters Take Notice Mr. Harold E. Tower’s trip to New York City for the annual ex hibition of kitchen wares and all kinds of purveyors of ultra-modern cuisine equipment, proved to be in structive and extremely interesting. The exposition is sponsored by the American Hotel Association, usual ly in November, for the purpose of informing hotel personnel of ad vanced methods in preparation of food. Four floors of the Grand Central Palace were used for the show which lasted four days, No vember tenth to fourteenth. ____ __The equipment was topped by a “ radar range” which prepares dish es by electronic cooking in much less time than the old type of stove. For example, a steak can be served forty seconds after inser tion, and a lobster can be broiled in three minutes. Mr. Tower’s attention was, how ever, chiefly focused on the Culin ary Exhibit, where the most famous New York chefs displayed their prowess in creating hors d’oeuvres. The “ Maharaja’s Wedding,” is an example of the artistic work dis played. All of the characters were food statuettes, and the Maharaja’s turban and flowing cloak were made of candy. Vegetable dyes provided the color, making the scene realistic. These entries are for awards in a stiff competitive field.
