Newspaper clippings and pho- tographs were abundant at the re- union. They featured the women at a variety of events, including a sewing contest, fashion show, spring dance, rummage sale, giv- ing out scholarships, as aides at the library auction, guides at the Swetland Homestead and at a 24- year anniversary dinner at Prince of Peace Episcopal Church in 1968. Georgia Besecker, now a resi- dent of Florida, was president of the junior club from 1962 to 1963 and Rhuea Culp, currently of Kingston, was president from 1964 to 1965.

He listens and is a friend to them but does not pretend to know everything. Mati- nas will refer students with specific problems or issues to the correct department such as campus coun- seling. And for boy problems, he jokes, he sends girls to his wife. “Tl never forget. had a father say; J&J Hoagies, Pickett’s Charge, and Ticket Tom are all my daughter talk- ed about,” said Matinas of the par- ent of a former Misericordia stu- dent. Years ago, a valedictorian m tioned Matinas in her speech. woman stressed her love for the small size of the school and the abil ity to develop many personal rela- tionships. Some students have sent Matinas letters years after they graduate to keep in touch. Matinas was recently presented with a miniature Oscar trophy for winning a Campus Celebrity Con- test during Homecoming festivi- ties. “Ticket Tom” can have fun and be a friend to students, but at the same time, he is strict about enforcing rules to keep everyone safe. Matinas does not tolerate it when students and em- ployees do not register their cars or park in illegal areas and does every thing he can to make them realize rules are in place for their own good. A cigarette was once left burning inside of a car on campus but be- cause the car was registered, securi- ty located the owner within minutes and stopped what could have been a serious fire. Another car was not so lucky when a tree fell on it. i AA A because the car was not registered, no one could move it in time. Although he is eligible to retire in 23 months, Matinas has no plans to do so and says he could see himself on the job at age 70. “Tll be here as long as God gives me the health,” he said.
