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.

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.

Press Club Press Club found time to enter the social whirl, as well as the journalistic whirl, by sponsoring such activities as Press Club Open House, Page One Ball, and Razz Convo. Press Club sponsored Page One Ball in the winter quarter. This traditional girl-ask-hoy occasion was mastermined by co-chairmen Betty Lou Robinson and Jim Ray. Crowned as Miss Indiana State was Miss Natalie Boksenberg, who represented ISTC in the state-wide Cherry Blossom Princess competition. Prior to this year, Press Club held an all-campus Razz Banquet for students and faculty. This year the custom was changed somewhat. During the spring quarter the club presented Razz Convo — no food, same fun, for students and teachers once again had the opportunity to rib each other. The club also presented several awards at this time.
