ACE Geared primarily for elementary majors, the Asso- ciation for Childhood Education did much to en- hance education on the State campus. Members staged a Christmas party for children of Lab School and carried out various projects for nursery schools. They also presented an Honor Day Award to the outstanding faculty member. Karen Reed, Students in seminar watch and criticize one another as they learn proper “teacherly” behavior. Officers of the club were: president, Wanda Damm; vice-president, Richard Hidani; secretary, Mary Small; and treasurer, Virginia Field. Forms and more forms are the prerequisites for be- ginning a successful teaching career. Student Teaching The satisfaction of molding minds was reflected in the faces of the student teachers as they stepped cautiously forward on their first few days of in- struction. Teacher training at Indiana State is per- haps the most vital single phase of the majority of the college graduates.

Future Teachers of America gather in the Formal Lounge of the Student Union Building to discuss club business. FTA Oh, the problems of a teacher! They are many, as the Caleb Mills chapter of Future Teachers of America came to realize. With 379 members, our chapter was the largest in the state. Among its activi- ties were: helping to sponsor High School Senior Day, and acting as host for the Spring Workshop, an annual meeting of all FTA chapters in Indiana. Kappa Delta Pi Junior students who had an index of 3. in at least three education courses and a cumulative index of 3.2 and senior students who had an index of 3. in at least five education courses and a cumulative index of 3.2 or above were eligible for Kappa Delta Pi. This honorary fraternity promoted a better under- standing of the field of education.

Sponsored by Miss Mary R. McBeth, member of the English Department faculty, poets and patrons both had a wonderful opportunity to develop and express their love of “musical language.” Poets Club began its twenty-eighth year on cam- pus in September of this year, and membership was open to all interested students. The club met every two weeks for tea, appropriate programs, and con- structive discussions of original verse. Each spring Poets Club published Pied Pipings, a book of original verse by State students and by the alumni of the club. Among contributors to the 55-56 book were Mrs. Katherine Freeman Benue, first president of Poets Club; Dr. Alan Grinnell, former dean of instruction at Indiana State; and Miss Mary R. McBeth, sponsor of the club.
