Mansfield University - Carontawan Yearbook (Mansfield, PA)

Page 9 text:

rOPEWOPD This twenty-first volume of the Carontawan, made possible by the Seniors and undergraduates of Mansfield, is an expression of our desire to reflect student sentiment and to portray college activities in a form worthy of our Alma Mater. It has been composed with the idea of recording the events of the current year in an entirely new and different manner. We doubt if anj ' one can truthfully say that the arrangement, layout, and organization of this book is in anyway similar to pre- vious editions- Informality is the keynote of our book. Seasons of the Year is the theme- In order to carry this through, we have reversed the usual arrangement of the classes, that is having the freshmen first because the Frosh occupy the limelight during the early part of the year. As the excitement of initiation, get-togethers, etc., dies, we progress into the year led by the Sophomores, then Juniors and finally, those who form a large part of our college life — the Se- niors. Intermingled with these are Athletics, Clubs, Fraternities, and the Music and Home Economics Departments. We have also recognized the great need of pictorial illustra- tions. These consist of views of our campus, in keeping with the theme of the book. In these pages you will find your fun, your sorrows, your work, and your play. These are the memories you wish to keep. The basis of our work is a sincere hope that these pages will succeed in recalling to you the real spirit of Mansfield- ziozs

The bricks in our oldest building looked very interesting to a return- ing graduate fifteen years ago. As a mere boy he had made a subscrip- tion toward the erection of South Hall, and then he worked out that subscription by cleaning old brick from which it was built. A local trustee, distinguished later in other ways, but an excellent mason, with his own competent hands laid without expense to the institution the walls which our aged visitor examined with such personal interest. Years later, our first graduate, long our oldest alumnus, lived to see the Heating Plant, the Junior High School, Str ughn Hall and the rest of our build- ings where, when he was a boy. there had not been even a schoolhouse. In less than a lifetime a one-building school in the wilderness has become a Teachers College. Shortly, the new Water Plant, the new Laboratory School, the new Gymnasium and the Home Economics Building will take shape before our eyes. Not too far ahead in the future, we hope to see also an Adminis- tration Building, a Library, a Music Building and adequate out-door social and recreational facilities. A handful of our present student body will live to date letters Jan- uary 1, 2000, and so w elcome the third millenium. There is just a chance that one or two may even be able to return and help celebrate our one hundred and fiftieth anniversary. What may be at that time our phy- sical equipment, our student body, our educational plans and purposes, it would be rash to predict. Therefore, recognizing the importance of adequate buildings and equipment in the success of the school and its graduates, the Senior Class of 1938 dedicates this Carontawan to the present building program which, when completed, will offer bigger and better training facilities and to future building programs, which we hope will someday permit the realization of the most rash of predictions.
