MILLER HELEN G. ODERMAN KATHLEEN O ' CONNER A MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF ' 37 In the course of our sojourn here at the Teachers College, the faculty and administration has endeavored to instill in us a working understanding of the distinction which constitutes a person, embodied in that all-important word, Personality. Regardless of a teacher ' s nationality, religious and political beliefs, there are three persistent qualities in a teacher ' s personality which have been, are, and always will be emphasized: A teacher must be well at home in his or her branch of teaching. A teacher must have patience with the individual pupil as well as with the whole class. A teacher must know the technique of teaching his or her subject. Through the efforts of our faculty, while at school, and our efforts while at practice, I deeply believe we have obtained these personality qualifications. What are the characteristics of a good teacher? In the broadest sense of the word every man and every kind of environ- ment is an educator, because man has an influence upon his environment and the environment has an influence upon the man. What is an educator? He or she who works consciously upon a plan on lifting up the values in other people, especially in children and youth. The most important item in Education is the relationship which exists between pupils and teachers. It is not enough to know the cross section in a child ' s development according to age, but we must apply all modern studies dealing with the child in such a way that we may help him in his immediate needs which he faces in daily school routine. We must seek, for example, to what mental type a child belongs. It is a fact that the power of visualization is necessary for achievements in arts, in the natural sciences, and in mathe- matics. It is true that auditory images are all important for music and English. Surely motor images are indispensible in drawing and modelling, in Indus- trial Arts, and in all feats of Skill. In facing a group of pupils in a class we meet all kinds of mental types. And in order to reach them all alike we as ' the teacher should apply the principles which we have learned at this college, that of multiple sense appeal. As we depart from these portals to engage in our chosen life ' s work, that of instilling fundamental knowledges, good habits, skills, and legion of other educational experiences remember the words of that great philosopher, Count Tolstoy, in his book Resurrection . One of the first widespread super- stitions is that every man has his own special, definite qualities; that man is kind, cruel, wise, stupid, energetic, apathetic, etc. Men are not like that. We may say of a man that he is more often kind than cruel, oftener wise than stupid, oftener energetic than apathetic, etc. or the reverse; but it would be false to say of one man that he is kind and wise, of another that he is wicked and foolish. And yet we classify mankind in this way. And that is untrue. Men are like rivers; the water is the same in each, and like in all; but every river is narrow here, is more rapid there, here slower, there broader, now clear, now cold, now dull, now warm. It is the same with men. Every man carries in himself the germs of every human quality, and sometimes one manifests itself, sometimes another, and the man often becomes unlike himself, while still remaining the same man. Let us strive, classmates, at the beginning of our careers, to be both artists and scholars, constantly applying ourselves and studying. PAUL A. MEISTER.

Cloves Recording Secretary Gertrude Fischer Corresponding Secretary Doris Berman Treasurer Perry Zimmerman Assistant Treasurer Mary Bass Faculty Members Dr. M. E. Townsend Miss Bertha Kain The executive board consists of a group of six offi- cers elected by a popular vote of the student body to- gether with the president of the college, Dr. M. E. Townssnd, and the dean, Miss Bertha Kain. The board reviews all matters brought before it by the student council, constitutes the finance committee of the school, and is in general responsible for the conduct of organization meetings. Typical matters disposed of during the year 1936- 1937 were: Outline of the year ' s policy student loans, major purchases, preparation for conferences, student relationships, and budget appropriations. STUDENT COUNCIL The legislative body of the State Teachers College at Newark is the Student Council. It is composed of elected members from the clubs and classes. During the past year, the Council has devoted the greater part of its energy to the forming and adopting of a new constitution. This has been accepted and will be put into effect in September, 1937. Prominent dates on the calendar of the Council in- cluded the annual tea given for the Council at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Townsend, the Eastern States Teachers Conference to which the members of the Council are sent as official representatives, and the entertaining of the Towson State Teachers College students — following the conference. The Student Council exists for the student. It is his method of voicing his likes in the matter of student government. It is therefore his duty as well as his privilege to know what the Council is doing, to criticize it, and to support it. President Frederic Lavenburg Vice President Arthur Wenzel Corresponding Secretary William Baldwin Recording Secretary Doris May Treasurer .Leon Kvedar Forty-nine JUNIOR CLASS This year, the third one of their stay here at New- ark, was marked with many events, the saddest being the losing of their president, S. Arthur Goldberger. The affair that signified the nearness of the close of their college life was the Junior Prom, held at the Glen Ridge Women ' s Club on March 5th. It was cm evening that will linger long as a happy memory in the hearts of those who attended. The success of this event was due largely to the able assistance rendered by the committee. The Spring Dance, held in the college gymnasium, was a grand and fitting climax to their junior year. President S. Arthur Goldberger Vice President Vincent F. Sarnowski Secretary Ruth Wuest Treasurer Roy F. Pollino Class Representative Herbert F. Baehr Faculty Adviser Mrs. Lenore Vaughn-Eames Fifty SOPHOMORE CLASS The thought that was uppermost in the minds of the Sophomore Class last September was to welcome the incoming freshmen. With the guidance and kind help of the adviser, Miss Wilson, they were able to give a most successful party to the Frosh on October 9, 1936 in the gymnasium. The Freshmen were discovered to be a very congenial group. Entertainment was provided for by members of the class of ' 39. The gymnasium was the scene of the class dance on December 11, 1936. The music was furnished by the school ' s own Swing Band . It was declared the best afternoon function of its kind. In February, the second year students lost their good friend and adviser, Miss Wilson, through retire- ment. Much of their success was due to her kind assist- ance and cooperation. They are indeed grateful to her. Under the able guidance of Miss Ac ' on, the new adviser, their remaining social affairs, particularly the dance held in April, were successful. President ..Saul Bosek Vice President Lillian Kent Recording Secretary.. Dorothy Hill Corresponding Secretary Florence Lodge Treasurer Joseoh Martin Student Council Representative Henry Holz Fifty-one FRESHMAN CLASS It did not take the Freshmen who entered Newark State Teachers College in the fall of 1936 long to get acquainted and into the swing of things . They immediately had an opportunity to meet the faculty and a chance to know their counsellors during the first week of classes at a tea given on the north terrace of the school. The Sophomores soon were at hand to usher them in with the annual Frosh-Soph Dance, held on October 9, 1936, which also contributed much to make them feel at home. In the course of the year other functions followed, one of which was the much enjoyed Freshman Tea so graciously given by Dr. and Mrs. Townsend at their home in Glen Ridge on November 22, 1936. On this occasion Mrs. MacMurray, Mrs. Zweidinger, and Mrs. Bruce poured. Here ' s to the group which has made a grand start, the class of 1940! Their leaders are: President Robert Harris Vice President Mae Rives Recording Secretary Carol Peterson Corresponding Secretary Janet Stark Treasurer James McDermott Student Council Representative Lawrence Venables Faculty Adviser Miss Helen Snyder W iiiiiiiii BSHHS Ill III IV KENDALL SOCIETY President Paul Meister Vice-President.. .Louisa Rasmussen Recording Secretary Doris May Corresponding Sec Agnes Greely Treasurer.. .--Frank Birkner The Kendall Society is the honorary educational fraternity of the New Jersey State Teachers College at Newark. It is composed of members of the faculty who are already members of Kappa Delta Pi, the national honorary educa- tional fraternity, and students who in scholarship and personality are deemed worthy of membership. The Society is now petitioning for incorporation into Kappa Delta Pi. The Kendall Society takes its name from Calvin Kendall, first Commissioner of Education in New Jersey. This society aims to carry on the ideals of truth, loyalty, and service which Mr. Kendall exemplified. It hopes to be- come a moving force in advancing the status of education. During the past year, the Society has made its first ef- forts along this line by bringing before its members, authorities in the educa- tional world. Fifty-three EPSILON PI TAU President Arthur Von der Linden Vice-President Charles M. Jochem Secretary- Treasurer ..Leon Kvedar Sponsor Mr. John J. Hatch The installation of the first national Greek letter Fraternity at Newark State Teachers College, namely, the Omicron Chapter of Epsilon Pi Tau, the National Honorary-Professional Fraternity, in Industrial Arts and Industrial-Vocational Education, was held, Saturday, December 12, 1936 at the Essex House, Newark. Forty- five undergraduates and graduate students were initi- ated to charter membership by National Officers. The main purpose of Epsilon Pi Tau is research. Therefore, the meetings of the Omicron Chapter have been devoted to the completion of various problems in the industrial arts field. The ideals of the fraternity are to recognize the place of Texnikh-Skill in Industrial Arts and Voca- tional-Industrial Education; to promote Pragmateia- Sociability and to foster, counsel, reward, publish, and circulate the results of Exetasis-Research effort in the fields of interest. A candidate for this fraternity must be in the upper quartile of his class, must be a skilled wcrkman, and must be active socially. Fifty-four JUNIOR LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS This organization was formed only last November but has gained in mem- bership rapidly. Very interesting speakers enliven the meetings by their talks on pressing government problems and various civ- ic policies are considered. President Grace Almond Vice-President Lillian Raffelson Secretary Irene Macie Treasurer ...- Alberta Kusch Faculty Adviser.-..Miss Claire Levy Fifty-five LIBRARY COUNCIL President. Arthur Wenzel Vice President George Bizlewicz Secretary Grace Almond Treasurer Vincent Sarnowski Absolute efficiency is necessary for the success of the college library. The Library Council and its mem- bers aid the library through their whole-hearted co- operation and unselfish service. Since efficiency is so essential, membership in this organization is limited to those individuals who show unusual capability in library work. Although the group does not stress the practical value of membership in the Library Council, it cannot fail to appreciate the fact that knowledge and experience gained within our walls is helpful in future work. But Library Council members are not bookworms either. They sponsor several outstanding, traditional social events as well as impromptu teas and musicals. Actually the Library Council is a large coopera- tive body which aids other clubs, faculty members, and students in arranging exhibits and programs, as well as informs them of interesting outside entertainments and lectures. Fifty-six PSYCHOLOGY CLUB President Lillian Payton Vice President Elouise Collier Secretary Evelyn Watson Treasurer Miriam Sermayan Faculty Adviser Miss Marcia Baldwin The Psychology Club has delved into many inter- esting fields in its study this year. During the first term the psychological problem of juvenile delinquency was the major subject. The adviser, Miss Baldwin, gave many interesting lectures on this topic. These were followed by profitable discussions. In the second term the club members gathered material and experiences for their spring exhibit and considered the field of curative psychology. Many interesting trips to different institutions were taken to help the club with its work. Fifty-seven HANDCRAFT CLUB President ..Thelma Swenson Vice President Carolyn Byrd Secretary Florence Lodge Treasurer Mildred Kramer Faculty Adviser Miss Lillian Acton You guessed it! That group of ambitious looking girls in room 35 on Monday afternoons is the newly formed Handcraft Club. Under the able guidance of their adviser, Miss Lillian Acton, they have already contributed their services to this college. You say how? Did you see those striking Christmas decorations for the luncheon? That ' s their work -and they ' ve only started. Their club meetings consist of speakers and dem- onstrators of various crafts as well as the actual work- ing of their projects. Some of the articles made this year were baskets made with crepe paper pottery, woven purses and scarfs, some wood work and metal work. In all their activities they are attempting to guide their members in the use of handcraft projects for future use. Fifty CAMERA CLUB President ...Harper Pearce First Vice-President .....Frederick Christoffel Second Vice President. ...Helen Palmieri Secretary Jane Slater Treasurer Eleanor Webster Faculty Adviser Mr. Fred Richmond Things have taken a brighter aspect for the Camera Club this year under the able guidance of Mr. Rich- mond. Trips behind the scenes in New York Theaters have shown what really goes on to entertain the public. At present their goal is to film an active day at Newark State Teachers College. What more could you want? There is plenty of interesting work and some- thing to show in the way of accomplishments — all this is to the advantage of all members. In our own college, probably unbeknown to many of you, is a dark room for use of all members to de- velop and print their own pictures. Nllllll Fifty-nine MARIONETTE GUILD Master Craftsman LeRoy Bohsen Scribe Rosalie Pollock Treasurer Herbert Baehr Faculty Adviser Miss Lillian Acton The Marionette Guild, under the supervision of Miss Acton, worked successfully during another eventful year. The construction of a professional marionette stage which is to become the property of the college so that it will be accessible to all teachers, ranks upper- most in the year ' s accomplishments of the guild. Hansel and Gretel was prepared by the group and used in connection with the guild ' s social service work. In order to gain an insight into the professional field of marionettes, the members of the guild had the pleasure of visiting one of the leading puppeteers in this vicinity in the spring. Among the social activities was a Twelfth Night party held at the home of the former adviser, Miss Alice Mihleis. Sixty ART CLUB President Carolyn Lowe Vice President Robert Scott Secretary Emily Manganelli Treasurer Miriam Epstein Faculty Adviser Miss Frances Mitchell It is the aim of the Art Club to have its members develop an appreciation of the beautiful and also make the other students of the college aware of the many artistic possibilities around us. The Night-Life group is a branch of the regular art club. Those students inter- ested in drawing from life are given the opportunity to do so at the Friday evening session of the Night-Life group. The activities of the club for this year have in- cluded: the sale of Christmas cards, the Christmas Pageant, the decoration of the gym for college affairs, and the presentation of the annual Art Club program in assembly. Sixty-one NEEDLES AND STITCHES CLUB President Golda Walters Vice President Phyllis Manno Secretary Margaret Hughes Faculty Adviser Miss Alice Rice Did you say that you wanted to crochet, knit, tat, embroider, or sew? Or are you accomplished in these arts and would like more time for them? The Needles and Stitches Club is the answer to your problem. Here you have one hour a week set aside when you will not be disturbed and can work to your heart ' s content. Some of the members are embroidering a set of curtains for the Teachers ' Rest Room. For the Christ- mas Season each year every club member makes a toy or some article of clothing to be distributed among the kiddies in some hospital or nursery. Thanks to the guidance of Miss Rice the club is pro- gressing very well. Sixty-tv o NU LAMBDA KAPPA President - Perry Zimmerman Vice President John Markowitz Secretary Carolyn Byrd Treasurer Florence Hecht Faculty Adviser Mrs. Lenore Vaughn-Eames The primary purpose of this literary organization is to foster and encourage creative work among its members and students of the college. They have car- ried out this purposa in publishing a booklet of poetry, entitled, At Ran- dom . This publication included the works of former as well as present members. Among their many services to the col- lege, they have sponsored, with the Library Council, a speaker well known in the field of literature and in science, Mr. W. Maxwell Reed. They issue the Scroll , the literary magazine of the college, through which the students outside of the club have the opportunity to develop their creative abilities. The Scroll Staff consists of: Editor-in-chief John Markowitz Editor Miriam Fitzgerald Business Manager Carolyn Byrd [] | Sixty-three WOODWARD SCIENCE CLUB President. Emil Petach Vice President Alfred Shargel Corresponding Secretary Barbara Walter Secretary and Treasurer Kathryn Hallas Faculty Advisers Mr. Guy V. Bruce Mr. James MacMurray Mr. James Kezer The Woodward Science Club has had another suc- cessful year in endeavoring to increase the general knowledge of the members in the fields of chemistry, physical science, and biology. What makes everyone in Room 25 on Fridays at 11:00 o ' clock look so interested? It ' s those startling experiments, those fascinating reports of some research projects, and last but not least those unusual speakers. This club also takes trips to various places of scientific interest. This year a new biological division of the club was formed with special interests in ascertaining animal and plant life in this vicinity by means of reports and field trips. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB President Rita Hoffmeister Vice President Barbara Walters Recording Sec Grace Almond Corresponding Sec. ...Cecilia Marco Treasurer Carmen Rando Faculty Adviser Miss Luella Seager The International Relations Club meets every Thursday at 3:00 P. M. in room 27 with the purpose of enlighten- ing its members on international affairs in government and politics. They do not attempt to reach any conclusions, but try to challenge the minds of its members and arouse thought and dis- cussion that ordinarily would not come up in a regular class meeting. They also try to develop the student ' s powers of expression and leadership. Their purpose is carried out by student speakers who are followed by club discussion. Some of the topics covered this year were: the Pan-Ameri- can Peace Conference, The Character- istics and customs of the South Ameri- can people, and the Spanish situation. Sixty-five SOCIAL STUDIES ACTIVITY CLUB President Dorothy Edmunds Vice President Florence Lodge Secretary. Grace Bellina Corresponding Secretary Iris Husband Treasurer Millicent Cottier Faculty Advisers Miss Maude Barber Miss Marjorie Flaacke The Social Studies Activity Club this year as in previous years attempted to give its members some practical experience for classroom projects. Their choice for study this year was the Hawaiian Islands. In spite of their full active program, they found time to sponsor a sale of articles made by the mountaineers of Kentucky and a lecture by Captain Killroy Harris. This club also has a varied social calendar with its informal parties and formal teas. ■ FORUM CLUB President Leon Miller Vice President... John Di Salvo Secretary Doris Bolton Treasurer Meyer Suchow Alumni Secretary Evelyn Cooperman Faculty Adviser. Mr. John French The Forum Club functions as an organization to provide a place where students can freely discuss any phase of activity — social, political, or cultural — con- cerned with school or outside life. It tries to bring about a fuller life by impressing upon the student body the importance of youth in our civilization and by urging them to exercise to the fullest degree their influence in their school and community. One of the most outstanding meetings was the demonstration of voting given by two of the authorities at an open meeting. During the next year they hope to continue and if possible increase the scope of their activities by in- creasing the number of outside speakers to bring the students closer to the community. Sixty-seven DANCE ORCHESTRA The Dance Orchestra is an organization directed and supported by the students within the Orchestra. Although this is the first year that the orchestra has gained recognition, it has had a very complete and successful one. For its financial support the orchestra played at afternoon dances in the gym and at various school functions. The orchestra willingly responded to the school ' s call for music on many occasions; Patrons Night, Pep meetings, and Assembly programs. The orchestra consists of twelve members; Leader and director, Albert Pennine; Secretary and drummer, Achilles D ' Amico; Librarian and trumpeter, Harvey Bowne, and nine other musicians. Sixty-eight NORMS THEATRE GUILD President Mildred Pomponio Vice President Elise Place Recording Secretary Mina Schoeppe Corresponding Secretary Mary Dylag Treasurer Jerome Levitt Faculty Advisers. ..-Mrs. Lenore Vaughn-Eames Miss Sybil Browne The Norms Theatre Guild aims to develop dramatic ability in all phases of the theatre by giving opportunity for self-expression in acting, staging, costuming, and in scenic design; to create and maintain interest in ama- teur productions; to study modern drama and build a permanent appreciation of good drama by increasing the dramatic horizon and range of its members; to pro- vide wholesome use of leisure time. The activities of this club covered a large and varied program, ranging from reviewing plays on Broadway to putting on their own productions. Their productions consisted of Murder in Holly- wood and the Christmas pageant given in Assembly, and the historic pageant depicting the development of the prevention and cure of Tuberculosis for the New Jersey Tuberculosis League. Sixty-nine MIXED CHORUS AND MADRIGAL CLUB President Robert Minchen Vice-President Lydia Tallmadge Secretary Carolyn Hance Treasurer John Markowitz Faculty Advisers Miss Frances Dunning Miss Laura Rogers This club underwent a reorganization this year, now being one club instead of two. Under the direc- tion of Miss Frances Dunning and Miss Laura Rogers, they have had a very successful musical year in en- tertaining their college and community. The Thanksgiving Program, Christmas Program and Patrons ' Night would not be complete without their assistance. They had the honor of an invitation to sing for the Newark Clubs. The annual Spring Concert and Musical Organizations ' Assembly is enriched by their participation. This club is also composed of good listeners as well as singers. Each year they attend several con- certs as groups and as individuals. . . .-.-.-. . - .-.-. - .-. . _— ;. . - r.- .t.t-.— ; -.— .t. i ORCHESTRA President William Baldwin Vice-President, Librarian Harper Pearce Secretary-Treasurer Elvira Ambrose Faculty Adviser Miss Laura Rogers GLEE CLUB President Doris May Vice President Edith Mauriello Corresponding Secretary.

Again the members have entertained their friends of the student body and the community by their delightful programs of songs. Seventy-one DANCE STUDY CLUB President Geraldine Heatherman Vice-President Jane Harahan Treasurer Alberta Kusch Faculty Adviser Mrs. Anita D ' Angola The Dance Study Club members all take active part at their meeting. Their aim is to cultivate an in- terest in all phases of the dance. This not only leads its members into the joy of self-creativeness, but also into an increased choreography on dance forms. The Dance Study ' s club hour is devoted to setting up exercises, forms of relaxation, and plastic and tap routines. With the able guidance of Mrs. D ' Angola the dancing ladies are endeavoring to create a unique type of dance unit for a later production. Its activeness is due to its unending willingness to cooperate with other activities of the College. Seventy-two £ A T H L E T C S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION President Arthur Wenzel Secretary Helen Sauer Treasurer Phyllis Russell Faculty Adviser Mr. J. A. DAngola The Athletic Association consists of five members. In addition to the officers mentioned are Vincent Sar- nowski and Roy Pollino. The work of the Association was so designed that each member took charge of a certain phase of work. Basketball and tennis comprise the varsity sports; basketball, tennis, archery, football, baseball, golf, deck tennis, shuffle-board and badminton the intra- mural. All students are afforded an opportunity to par- ticipate in any of these activities sponsored by the Athletic Association. The Washington D. C. trip, which was one of the major functions, was a marked success. In addition to a basketball game the trip offered social and educa- tional contacts. The A. A. also sponsored, this past year, an Inter- collegiate Archery Tournament which was open to all New Jersey Teachers ' Colleges and Normal Schools. Mr. D ' Angola was in charge. Seventy-six CHEERLEADING SQUAD Are you ready! — Hip — Hip — That is how all of the cheers were begun by the small but peppy cheerleading squad of Newark State. This year ' s squad was an all-veteran one, who showed their best cheerlead- ing to a team which certainly needed them. The squad included Saul Mar- ion, captain; Annette Savino, the brain trust; and Evelyn Cooperman, the mid- get. Saul, who has served since his freshman days, gave his last cheer in Washington when the team played the Wilson State Teachers ' College. To usher out that last game of the season with a grand finale there was a four-piece band consisting of D ' Ami- co, Pennino, Bowne and Minchin. Too much will rest upon the shoul- ders of the two sophomores next year. Here ' s hoping that someone of the stronger sex comes to their rescue. Seventy-seven BASKETBALL Graduation certainly put a crimp in the basketball sit- uation. The 1937 basketball team passed through a build up season. The team won no more than three games, losing twelve, but the students, led by the cheer leaders, were faith- ful supporters of the team throughout the whole season. February 12 was the banner day. What was supposed to be an all-captain alumni team was on the short end of a one sided score. The Wilson Teachers ' College of Washington, D. C. in a home and home series came here February 19, and went back with a hard fought victory via a 22 to 16 score. The season ended with a four day trip to Washington, D. C. where the team played the Wilson Teachers College. A squad of ten, including four freshmen, made the trip. The team was well fortified with a band of rooters but lost after a tough battle. The elusive cup again slipped away. After the game Vinnie Sarnowski was elected Captain for the team of 1938.

WOMEN ' S BASKETBALL CLUB President Helen Sauer Secretary Phyllis Russell Treasurer Margaret O ' Mara Faculty Adviser Mrs. Anita D ' Angola The Women ' s Basketball Club, organized primarily for social contacts, has had a most enjoyable season. The club consisted of twenty-five girls whose love for the sport was real- ly shown by their perfect attendance and untiring efforts to make the club a real success. Practice for the girls from 4:00 to 5:00 P. M. on Tuesdays and Thursdays afforded them much pleasure besides enabling them to become more skilled in the tactics of competition. The girls engaged in games with Montclair Teachers ' College, Up- sala College, Jersey City State Teachers and the Alumni. The club also traveled to the Trenton Teachers ' College for an annual play day. There they took part in various sports including basketball, darts, table tennis, archery, and swim- ming. At the end of the activities the girls from various col- leges were entertained by the Trenton lassies. March 22nd was an important date. A dinner was held in the cafeteria for members of the club and the Women ' s Alumni Sports Club. At the conclusion of the dinner, emblems and awards were presented by Mr. Joseph D ' Angola.
