Robert Rye CHARLES McKENNY HALL Charles McKenny Hall is the social center of the campus where students meet for business or pleasure. All-college parties, club meet- ings, coke dates in the grill, and kresges are part of the activities that keep the Union humming. Taking over the management of McKenny hHail this year was Robert Rye, a former student. William - . Brownrigg, previous manager, entered the Naval Intelligence Service last summer. Everything from accidents to colds brings students to the modern, well-equipped college health residence headed by Dr. Glenadine Snow. Most students are familiar with the light and heat treatments that help to ward off colds. During the school year, all students are given a thorough physical examination and are entitled to medical service while they are enrolled in the school. HEALTH RESIDENCE Smith Snow Frens

This transformation, as it might seem, does not, hovv ' ever, take place over night. The student observes the critic teacher ' s work for several days before at- tempting to take over the actual duties of the teacher. Then, with fear and trembling, the student goes through the period of trial and error as he, himself, first begins to take over the class. Such disturbing incidents as Johnnie shooting paper-wads at the boy across the room, or Mary insisting upon talking to the girl next to her, hove to be put under control by the student teacher. Thanks to the inspiration and guidance of Principal Ben Vanden Belt and the staff from the kindergarten through the twelfth grade, the trials soon become chal- lenges; and errors, stepping-stones to achieve- ment. Novices feel prepared to cope with the multitudinous problems and duties of a teacher, from preparing lesson plans to coping with un- usual problems. Lincoln is a laboratory school where the practice of modern methods may be observed. What were once text-book terms take on living, flesh-and-blood meaning when the neophyte educator faces a classroom of lively, bright-eyed youngsters. Active elementary and high school student councils may also be observed. Besides the ordinary academic subjects, there are classes in home economics, agriculture, art, music, physical education, manual training, and commercial training. Pupils attending the Lincoln Consolidated School ore mainly from rural homes located over an area of sixty-three square miles. They are transported doily to and from the school by seventeen buses.

MU NSON RESIDENCE HALL An important item in the planning at Michigan State Normal College has been the conviction that men students should live together in a college hall to gain the most from their years of educational experience. With this in mind, men students in the college have been en- couraged to live in the John M. Munson Residence hHall for men, one of the most recently added buildings on the campus. The erection of this new and thoroughly modern dormitory provides an unusually attractive home life xA ith its bedroom and study-room suites, lounge, grill, and recreation room. Freshman men live together on the fourth floor of Munson Hall, where green caps are regulation apparel at the beginning of each year. There, the new men students enjoy in common the experi- ences of their first year of college life. To the men living in Munson hiall, lengthy bull sessions , shower quartets, lunches in the middle of the night, and where do you stand with the army chats are port of the memories of school days . It isn ' t all fun though, for there are the beaver sessions in order to meet the class demands. Introduced as head residents at the John M. Munson hiall this year were Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Gildenstein. Faculty residents during the year have been Mr, Thomas P. Imse, Mr. Robert H. Super, and Mr. Kenneth R. Utter. Student proctors hove aided in keeping the dormitory under control throughout the year. Super Gildenstein Utter
