afllldbld pKagA0lfLJ8 PLAYS PRESENTED FOR GUIDANCE PROGRAMS Campus Playhouse has been busy this year serving not only the college, but clubs, schools, and organizations who were in need of program material. They organized early in the fall electing Betty Becker, president, LaVern Smith, vice-president, and Wilma Bussard, secretary-treasurer. Mrs, Wilberta Edgington accepted the task of guiding this active group through the year as faculty adviser. As a part of the collegiate-high school guidance program of the college, three one-act plays, Dear Lady, Be Brave , Cracked Ice , and The Tarnished Withersooonsu, were pre- sented in assembly programs in schools throughout the tri-state area. Working with the A Cappella Choir to present the annual Christmas program, the group turned its attention to a thought provoking one-act drama, No Room in the Hotel , which placed the events of the Christmas story in a modern setting. As spring-time once again beautified our campus, the Playhouse reached the zenith ot its year's activity in the production of a three-act comedy-drama. It is the outstanding ex- pression of dramatic art by students on the campus. Through association with this organization, members may develop understanding and ability in the techniques and procedures of directing amateur performances for church, school, or community activities. 29

BANQUET DEcoRATioNS AND POSTERS CREATED Art work on the campus is generally referred to the Palette Guild whose members prove to be very versatile in producing the variety of work requested throughout the year. All art students automatically become members ot the Palette Guild and are put to work on some project that has been accepted by the group. The ability of some ot the members at the group has been demonstrated in the posters created tor the athletic department and tor the Junior class tor their penny suppers.

OPPORTUNITIES AS TEACHERS ARE TOPICS Telling is not teaching might well be the motto for the Pedaxis Chapter of the Future Teachers of America in their bi-weekly meeting in which a discussion of the latest news in the national and local education field is held. Strong emphasis is placed upon sound living. Development among young people pre- paring to be teachers is one purpose for which all F.T.A. students strive. Bethel Mote as the president, Robert Bouman, vice-president, and Jean Gruver, secre- tary-treasurer did a fine job directing the year's activities. Miss Bernice Thompson must not be forgotten for her ever-present help in guiding the organization as a faculty sponsor. With the increased enrollment in the elementary schools, it is the hope of the F.T.A. to gain many more interested young people to prepare themselves for the great task of shaping and molding the character of the child. The teacher is a prophet, an artist, and friend to all. He builds, plans, and attempts the impossible and wins. The teacher is a reformer who seeks to remove the handicaps that weaken and destroy life. Blessed is the teacher who seeks for the best for those he servesl 30
