S. Beck — Senior Co-editor E. Mertz — Co-editor W. Weaver — Business Manager The Flashlight is the student newspaper, the Voice of the Student Body of Mansfield State Teachers College. In the words of its Constitution, the purposes of the Flashlight are: to promote interest in college activities, to develop a high degree of school spirit, to give an opportunity to students to develop initiative and skill in writing, and to develop a spirit of cooperation among the student body. With these purposes well in mind, the 1944-45 Flashlight has been published. Each issue presented a vivid cross sec- tion of life at M.S.T.C. and covered the full round of campus activities. It was again possible to send copies of the Flashlight to our men and women in the service of their country. We hope this brought Mansfield just a little closer to them.

Qroups Provide Experience This year the Department of Music Education placed special emphasis upon small musical groups. Members of the Department have participated in brass, woodwind, and string ensembles. Of these ensembles, the brass ensemble has been particularly active, having made several public appear- ances. A concert group, consisting of the more advanced instrumental players has performed at Sunday afternoon recitals. Experience of sight-reading and ensemble playing gained from participation in these small groups has proven invaluable. The College Chorus has presented several college assembly programs and provided sacred music for college vesper services. Besides preparation for programs, importance of sight-reading choral literature was stressed. One of the most popular vocal groups on campus, the Sophomore Women ' s ensemble, furnished music for many college activities. The return of the Madrigal Singers after two years, met with great approval. Treble voices were employed exclusively.
