MANSFIELD UNIVERSITY LIBRARY llllllllllllnuliillllllll I I I ' lllN 3 3098 00241 9286 f DATE DUE - ■...,.-. :,b ; .iii w ' w MANbi-itLu — loc uottAKX The 1946 edition of the Carontawan is dedicated to the ultimatum for which all Americans and peace loving peoples have prayed and God has finally given us — world peace. Almost a year has elapsed since the inspiring VE and VJ days, but that precious heritage left us by our servicemen will live in the heart of each of us forever. We are progressing to- ward a post-war world of liberty, happiness and prosperity through the efforts of the thousands of men who died for their country and all it stands for, and we must remember that we are living in the glory of their heroism. To these men we owe a tre- mendous debt, which can be fulfilled only by our undying gratituude. However, there are the other thousands of men whose future it is to be patriots of this new world. Our debt to them must be in material form. The world is conscious of the atrocities of the wake of World War I, and it is the duty of every American to see that such happenings shall not be repeated. With these foremost thoughts constantly in mind, let us each in our own potential way, strive to reward the men, those who are with us now, and those who will not return, to the utmost of our ability. c 2320 rCume ; ?, if™ ) f AOtttffflTOKKJl.W,,--.. ■ I e j J p WO  -4«lV.t « tw i- . JAMES G. MORGAN President of the College It is always a sincere pleasure to extend congratulations to the members of a Senior Class on the threshold of graduation. This pleasure is greatly en- hanced by the fact that the student body is rapidly approaching normality and that former students and others who have so courageously discharged their duties in the service of their country are returning to the campus. Your class during the past four years has been confronted with abnormal conditions. The tensions and sorrows, the strain and stress of the war years have all shad- owed the gayety of college life. You have experienced curtailed activities and intercollegiate associations, and yet, have strengthened the bonds of campus friendship, preserved our college traditions and the spirit that is Mansfield. It is our hope that every one of you will meet the grave challenges and tremen- dous opportunities for service in the years ahead in the same loyal spirit with which you responded to the duties of a citizen in a nation at war — and that for each of you the best is yet to be . At the conclusion of the worst war in history we of the allied nations in addition to being grateful for the victory which has come to us must also face the problem that the war has opened all frontiers and we must turn and live with the peoples of all nations. As college women you can make a tremDndous contribu- tion by facing this task courageously. The teach- ing profession embodies the spirit of service to others and that is a basic keynote in under- standing people. By assuming this social re- sponsibility ably, by understanding our present heritage in terms of the past, by being interested sufficiently in the group of which you are a part to take an active interest in its projects, by being a person whose life is characterized by qualities of high character, leadership and service, by possessing an intelligent calm spirit, and by practicing a philosophy to live usefully and bravely, you will do much to guide others to live successfully with the people of the world. Dorothy M. Wasley, Dean o Women Deans A moment of retrospect shows a great con- trast between the college years of 1944-45 and 1945-46. The former was a period when all eyes were focused upon the armed conflicts of the world and the many immediate problems. A glance at the present shows this year to be one in which Japan ' s premature collapse brought use face to face with the immediate execution of certain of the preconceived post- war plans. It is a time of welcoming into our , midst two groups of young men. One is com- posed of those young men who left us to enter the armed services, the other those young men who are entering colloge for the first time. Both are taking advantage of the opportunity to obtain more education. It is with great pride that we welcome them into our midst. May you never lose sight of the fact that an enlight- ened public is a most desirable goal. It will be your duty to wage the war against ignorance by carrying the torch of knowledge into the schools of our country as you carried the battle for the four freedoms to the corners of the earth. Hold the torch high. Cyril L. Stout, Acting Dean of Men ■-■ :0 t ' ELISABETH S. ALLEN. BS (Mansfield), MA. (Columbia), Supervisor of English, Cam- pus Junior High School. CORA A. ATWATER.

Morales, prepares future teachers and home makers. A home economics student, after study in many fields, is ready to help America make good her victory. American citizens must know about health and nutrition to be able to serve their country adequately and efficiently. The young women are given every possible opportunity to practice home- making in all its phases. Small groups of students live for a period of six weeks during their Junior year in the home management apartment. Here they put into practice the principles they have learned in other home economics courses. The Juniors also manage and carry out the school lunch program in the Junior High School. Each student teaches a semester on campus under careful guidance. She has the additional privilege of teaching with supervision in a vocational home economics department of an approved Pennsylvania high school for six weeks during her Senior year. Another phase of the Home Economics curriculum involves a Child Develop- ment Course. In connection with this, a nursery school is conducted in a house and campus which has been specially equipped for this purpose. It provides an opportunity for the college students to actually take part in guiding pre- school children in learning how to live with others and to develop as indi- viduals. Discussions and reading pertaining to the physical, mental, emotional and social development of the child are supplemented by observation and contact with children. THE HOME MANAGEMENT APARTMENT Every year the Juniors, in several groups, spend six weeks in the very modern and attractive apartment in the Arts building on campus. Hore they put into practice the principles they have been taught in other homemaking courses. Each member, while in the apartment, has her own duties to perform for a week at a time. These include meal planning, cooking, managing, etc. The girls are supervised by a resident director, Miss Lilla Cortwright. Department Bridge in the Apartment Faculty MARJORIE BROOKS Music Education Student Conducting Junior Ensemble Brass Ensemble Department The Music Department wishes to take this opportunity to welcome the ex- servicemen back to the campus. By next year the department expects to have a regular peacetime enrollment. This department is one of the most active groups on and off campus. In addition to the many assembly and Vesper programs, the students participate in Sunday musicales and recitals, lead group singing and assembly hymns, and provide cultural as well as entertaining programs in their regular meetings. Again this year, emphasis was placed on small ensemble work, in prepara- tion for better band and orchestra organizations. The Elementary School, one of the newest buildings on campus, is an impressive modern structure especially designed to fit the educa- tional needs of growing children. This school guides the child from the kindergarten through the sixth grade. The curriculum includes all the traditional subjects of reading, writing, and arithmetic plus music, art, and industrial arts. The main emphasis is on the social studies. The laboratory school provides the children with a fine education for living. It is here that much of the foundation is laid for later life. The atmosphere of the school is strikingly democratic. Every room is in charge of a supervisor who has the double responsibility of teaching the children and guiding the student teacher. Each supervisor has a fine background of profes- sional training and experience. Through her the student teacher develops in technique and personality. DR. G. A. RETAN E I e m en t a ry Campus Elementary School School '  %■ MISS JESSIE GRIGSBY Junior High To provide modern, progressive, educational facilities to the boys and girls of the community of Mansfield, and to provide laboratory school experience for the college students, that is the dual purpose of the campus Junior High School. The Junior High School serves the children in the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. To them it offers the educational opportunities of a well rounded cur- riculum. In addition to the academic subjects, such as English, social studies, science, and mathematics, there are modern departments, offering constructive programs in health and physical education, music, art, homemaking, and industrial arts. In the campus Junior High School, college students in the secondary, music and homemaking departments have opportunities to teach, to correlate, to evaluate, and to put into practice the educational theories and principles which they have acquired in college classes. At the head of each department there is an efficient supervisor who super- vises and guides his department, and who must act as a critic, guide, and good example for student teachers. No word ot praise is too great for the supervisors and the part they play in the growth of the student teachers.

The Secondary Club is an independent campus organization composed of faculty members and students in the Secondary Department. The purpose of the club is to create a closer fellowship and a better understanding between the students and instructors in secondary education. The club attempts to keep in touch with current developments in secondary education and participate in the oiher benefits that result from membership in any such organization. The sponsor of this comparatively young club is Eugene P. Bertin, director of Secondary Education at M.S.T.C. His tireless activity has been a key factor in the establishment and development of the Secondary Club. During this year, the club has been under the efficient direction of: Janet Read, Seldon Spencer, and Sue Smythe. American Association of Childhood Education First Row J Brunner, Pres ; I Casey, W.

The A.A.C.E., officially known as the American Association for Childhood Education, is a national organization consisting of all the students and faculty members enrolled in the Elementary Department. Our club at M.S.T.C. is only one of many throughout the United States. The purpose of the A.A.C.E. is to better prepare its members for the important role of the Elementary teacher. The meetings throughout the year are planned to meet this purpose, for they include discussions of current affairs, both as governmental and cultural topics, lectures, holiday observances, workshop meetings, and panel discussions. Through these meetings the students are a ' so given the opportunity of getting better acquainted with other students training for Elementary education, and with the instructors in this field. Our organization this year has proved its worth on the campus, for it has provided both intellectual and cultural development of its members. ' ■ ' ll - : SENIORS Class of 1946 Our Sophisticated Seniors TO THE SENIORS To each of you happiness and success! To help you achieve these may I suggest a few designs or palterns for living? Plan success in your mind and it will contribute immeasurably to your success. Keep interested in your own career, however humble. It is a real possession in the changing fortunes of times. Design a positive technique in handling limi ' ations. There will always be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Discover within your own walls of limitations happiness, opportunity and abiding friendships. Design a peace policy for yourself, a policy of inward peace and serenity. Culti- vate the art of peaceful living. Keep peace in your soul. Emotional poise is one of the most valuable and most difficult qualities to possess. It is not acquired easily. It means long and patient self-discipline. A discipline which will gradually modify not only your actions in moments of crises but also modify your habitual attitudes toward life and people. Strive for emotional poise. And lastly the designs sug- gested by Saint Paul — Whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely and of good re- port, think on these things. Meditate on these. You will be armed from within. It is well to meditate, too, on the words of the English critic Junius: It is not that you do wrong by design, but that you never do right by mistake. Do correct things deliberately and intelligently by design. Design your life so that your con- tributions and achievements are richly satisfy- ing to yourself and your fellowmen. For yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision; But today well lived makes yesterday a dream Of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Maryon Farrer We are approaching our Commencement Day and as we do we look with retrospect upon our last four years of college life. In the fall of 1942 seventy- eight people came to the campus of Mansfield State Teachers College as green Frosh. After a slightly uncomfortable initiation, we entered with lots of spirit into the college activities. As Sophomores, we continued with that same pep and vigor as we had when Frosh. In our Junior year we enjoyed picnics and roller skating parties instead of dances. We are proud of those who left us to answer a much higher call — that of Uncle Sam ' s armed forces. And today we would like to thank them for helping give us our victory. We are sad because we must leave Mansfield ' s campus, but as we take up our places in a peaceful world, we shall always remember our Alma Mater and try to live up to the principles which she has intrusted in us.

Stilwell Vice President P. Schanbacher Secretary E Schmidt Treasurer, P Roche It is later than you think! Three of your four short years of college life are gone — but, truly the best year is yet to come. A real champion always has two character- istics — (1) the ability to perform under pressure and (2) a kick at the finish. You have proved yourselves with respect to the first of these by performing successfully with determination and cooperation during three war-time years of college education. It is now time to dedicate yourselves to a successful finish . Next year will be the shortest of the four. Yet it should be filled with the choicest of fruits — hard work, full participation in co-educational life on an intercollegiate basis, and the laying of plans for the future. Let us bring to a successful conclusion — a job so well begun. S. Manford Lloyd Next year ' s Seniors — and we can hardly make ourselves believe it. With three grand years of M.S.T.C. behind us, we wonder what next year will find us doing. Still the class of endless energy, we ' re more than glad to add some of the newly acquired male population to our roster of girl after girl after girl! (Only now it ' s girl after boy after girl!) Seriously though, we consider it an honor to be the second post war class to graduate from Mansfield and we wish to thank our more than capable advisor, Mr. Lloyd, and all of our instructors for seeing us through the difficult war years and bringing us out on top. We hope our last year here will make you all as proud of us as we are of M.S.T.C. Our Jolly Juniors Rae S. Allen, Home Economics, Catawissa, Pa. Geraldine Frances Baker, Elementary, Rixford, Pa.

Monroe To the Class of 1948: College gives you four years of freedom from the necessity of toiling day after day merely to exist. It gives you an honorary entree into that arislocracy which no form of government has ever been able to suppress: the aristocracy of the well-informed. If you would establish yourself in this magnificence, you must avail yourselves of every opportunity here at Mans- field to acquire all of the necessary techniques of your chosen profession, to school yourself to be agreeable to others, and to cultivate the fine art of plausibility. The degree to which you will be able to obtain these will go far in determining your chances for future success. Austin Ledwith, Class Adviser As the class of 1948 turns to face a world at peace, we feel proud and grateful to the fighting forces that won this peace for us. We will have as a goal for our endeavors at Mansfield a better society for future generations, a firmer understanding and love of our fellowmen, and the desire to create, design, and promote for the benefit of all humanity.

FRESHMEN Class of 1949 To the Class of 1949: As your class advisers we trusl that your first year at Mansfield has been a challenging experience and has made a rich and significant contribution to your life. Since last September you have worked and played together as a class and a fine spirit of cooperation, loyalty and friendliness has characterized your various activities. This important lesson will be a valu- able asset in life. The principles of international friendship and good will, freedom and peace are based on the simple axioms of common sense, decency, good taste, kindliness, and justice. By practicing these principles as an individual and as a member of the college group you are aiding in maintaining world peace which we are valiantly striving to attain. It has been a pleasure to be your advisers during your Freshmen year and our best wishes are extended to you. Dorothy M. Wasley, Cyril L. Stout, Class Advisers President, W. Lester Vice President, G Maxwell Secretary, F. Gazdick Treasurer, M. McCawley 1945-46 WAR ENDED. VICTORY! PEACE? We, the first Freshmen to climb Mansfield ' s college hill since the close of World War II, found a genuine campus spirit waiting up for us. Our first few weeks were packed with thrills and bewilderments. With a smattering of interviews, tests, schedules, and parties, we started our year; and were helped over the bumps by the friendly Sophomores who showed us our place as poor green Frosh during our week of initiation. Our class work started with the election of officers. Since we were the first peace-time Freshman class, our enrollment met the 80 mark. Our boys helped gain the victory and can share, with us, the oppor- tunity of creating a happy college life. As we build our foundations we hope to gain wisdom from our American heritage and knowledge from those before us. With the Faculty, Upper Classmen, and Big Sisters as friends we have found a happy ? in our new college career.

The meetings of the Student Council of 1945-46 were called to order by President Marie Scudder in the Student Activities Room on the first and third Monday of each month. A motion was made, seconded and carried that the Student Council of Mansfield State Teachers ' College strive to uphold high standards in this year of victory; to maintain and achieve a magnificent foresight in the future years of peace. Discussion took place regarding: the big and little sister system, the planning of the social calendar, the publication of the Password , the operation of extra-class point system, the appointment of Mansfield representatives to Who ' s Who in American Universities and Col- leges , the organization of Freshmen Week, and the sponsoring of the Victory Loan Drive. Another motion was made, seconded and carried that the Student Council consist of thirteen members and two advisers. These members are: officers of the Council, class presidents, editors cf publications. Day Students president. Men Students president, and Dormitory Council President. The members of the Student Council decided that full cooperation from all was absolutely necessary for the success of all phases of college activities; a successful goal relies firmly on the full and enthusiastic cooperation of the entire student body. The meetings were adjourned. iltlfi May Day The observance of Mayday has come to be one of M.S.T.C. ' s most cherished and lovely traditions. Each year a group of our most charming Seniors girls is selected by the student body on the bases of their attractiveness, personality, extra-curricular activities and academic rating, to compose the May Court. From these, the Queen is secretly chosen, and is not re- vealed until the impressive ceremony on the appointed day. The 1945 court was truly repre- sentative of Mansfield ' s outstanding women, with Virginia Bailey appearing as a most regal Queen. The lovely Maypole dance by our capable Frosh initiated the ceremony, and an excellent program by the Sophomore Music Supes followed. The ceremony in Straughn Hall was climaxed when Lieutenant Homer Bailey of the United States Naval Air Corps, crowned our lovely Virginia Queen of the May. Whoever might say that school teachers can ' t be glamorous need only take a look at M.S.T.C. ' s May Court to find that he is badly mistaken! Women ' s Dormitory Council First Row: D Dussinger, V Smgley, C McClintock, Pres , J Owens, D Bunting Second Row Miss Wasley, B Goodall, D Willson, R Izer Each spring, the women students living in North Hall elect eight members who act as the governing body of the dormitory. The Council exists for the purposes of administering student life in the dormitory so that all might live comfortably and with consideration for others; of developing individual and group responsibilities; of promoting conditions for the development of courtesy, self-control, and the desire to strive toward higher scholastic standards. Several projects have been undertaken by the Council throughout the year including the orientation of Freshmen women students to dormitory life, and the wall decorations of the living quarters-floors of North Hall. The Council believes that the strength of its program is dependent upon the active participation of all the students and faculty, and is constantly seeking to stimulate that participation through basic, practical, and long-range planning. M.S.T.C. ' s day hops are real belongers to the college. To counterbalance their living off campus, and consequently, their missing many extra-curricu- lar activities, their organization provides fellowship and good times that foster the real significance of college life. Members have their own rooms on first floor of North Hall, which is convenient for study, rest, or feminine conversation in between classes. The Day Students have been particularly active in cam- pus affairs this year — perhaps due to the recent influx of men to South Hall! Officers for the year were: President — J. Madigan Vice-President — M. Warner Secrerary-Treasurer — P. Schanbacher Day Students ' Club President, J. Madigan Vice President, P.

We, the staff of the 1946 Carontawan, have taken this opportunity of saying thanks from the bottom of our hearts to our servicemen — those who have come back to our campus, those of our Alumni, and those who will never re- turn — by dedicating the yearbook to them and to the ideals for which they fought. We realize that this a meagre offering, but with it is included the senti- ment of the entire college and all it stands for. In this, our first post-war year we have been in competition with tremendous odds in publishing a yearbook. How- ever, the spirit is here to stay, and we can rest assured that next year and the following years, the Carontawans will improve in size with the enrollment.

Mertz, Co-Editor The Student Body of M.S.T.C. has gradually become aware of the impor- tance of the Flashlight, and each month its publication is greatly anticipated. The Flashlight this year has made its principal aim that of discussing the social life of Mansfield in such a way as to bring Mansfield just a little closer home to our men and women in service to whom copies of each issue were sent. In February, the Flashlight celebrated its twentieth anniversary, the first pub- lication having been made in 1926. The editors endeavored to give Flashlight readers a picture of the paper up through the years . Eight pages, in- stead of the usual four, composed the edition, and pictures of the campus from the 1880 ' s up to the present were used. Jokes, an editorial, and other interesting articles were taken from back issues. This year, there was a close coordi- nation among the members of the staff, and this has been conducive to a spirit of cooperation. Each member has real- ized that the Flashlight rises above the petty factors of working together, and each aimed toward the ultimate goal — making the Flashlight the perfect ournal! E.

In order to be a member you must have a vocal try-out at the beginning of the year. Those that have been in the chorus previously, and is their desire to continue to be a member are automatically in for the following year.

Grow Kappa Delta Pi is an honor society in education, limits its membership to Juniors and Seniors who have attained excellence in scholarship. Since its purpose is to encourage high intellectual and scholastic standards, and to rec- ognize outstanding contributions to education, emphasis has always been placed on high scholastic standing. Kappa Delta Pi grew out of the Illinois Education Club which was established at the University of Illinois in 1909 to recognize and encourage high scholastic achievement and to dignify the teaching profession. In 1911, the club was reorganized as Kappa Delta Pi, which today ranks as one of the outstanding and influential organizations in the educational field. The Beta Rho chapter was installed at Mansfield in 1930, and since its inception on campus, Kappa Delta Pi has carved an enviable reputation. Our unit has been under the un- tiring guidance and assistance of Miss O ' Brien. Omicron Gamma Pi Omicron Gamma Pi is an organization coin- posed of all the home economics students. The club is affiliated with the State and National Heme Economics Association, and sends dele- gates to the state convention. The aims of the organization are to promote a feeling of unity among the separate classes, to create better teaching activities for student teachers, and to make better and happier homes for coming generations. A wholesome and stimulating social atmosphere is maintained by the many ac:ivities planned by competent committees. In our first meeting this year, a humorous skit was presented, portraying the experiences of the senior girls in their past summer projects. In November, Omicron Gamma Pi was hostess to Miss Culmer, Eastern Regional Edi ' or of CHARM Magazine. Miss Margaret Kingsley of CCOD HOUSEKEEPING staff, came to lecture in assembly and gave some special time to the home economics department. Our special project for the year is a Treasure Chest for children overseas. The chest includes appropriate books depicting manners, customs and traditions of American culture. Friendship promoted in the hearts of children we hope to carry over into adult life in international re- lationships. The special event of the Omicron group fea- tured a dance in March and in the manner of welcoming to college life the returned veterans and young men entering college training. First Row: O.

Pi Kappa Epsilon is a local Home Economics sorority striving for professional, cultural, and inspirational growth. Members of the organization are second semester Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors who attain the required scholastic average. The sorority selects its members on the basis of their ability to get along with others, leadership, and maintenance of high standards. The sponsorship and co-sponsorship consists of two Home Economics faculty members. A special problem in the field of home economics is carried out every year by the members under the able guidance of the sponsors. Each member of the sorority pledges herself to make A worthy contribution to the profession of Home Economics . Meetings are held each alternate month. Members of the faculty and guest speakers aid the students in presenting interesting and educational programs. A banquet and initiation of new members in May terminates the year ' s activities. Y. W. C. A. President, G. Colwell Vice President, E, Schmidt Secretary, M. Hart Treasurer, H. Buckingham Every woman student on campus is a member of the Young Women ' s Christian Association. The organization, a member of the Student Christian Movement, has for its purpose, to unite in a desire to realize full and creative life through a growing knowledge of God. We determine to have a part in making this life possible for all people. The program of the YWCA is not yet back to its normal status of pre-war ac- tivities, but the regular Thursday evening devotional meetings consists of lectures and discussions of current social or national problems, conducted by faculty members, students or local ministers. The comfortably furnished Y rooms on the first floor of North Hall are a perfect setting for the lively activities of the club. The atmosphere set by the ambition of the members promotes Christian living among the girls, and is of inestimable value to the woman teacher of today ' s world. On the march After the Hike Aquatics Women ' s Athletic The Women ' s Athletic Association, under the direction of Miss Morris, affords the girls the opportunities of participating in the various sports provided for in the recreational program. Seasonal tournaments were carried out during the year including bowling, tennis, archery, softball, basketball and volleyball. A course in Senior lifesaving was offered in the fall, and a good number of women students received their badges.

DRAMATIC APPRECIATION DEVELOPED BY THE COLLEGE PLAYERS The Dramatic Club of M.S.T.C. has proved a flourishing organization this year with the production of Jane Eyre heading the list of performances. It was with great pride that the club presented Clarence as its Spring produc- tion with actual men taking the male parts, and the play met with much-voiced approval. With the addition of men on campus and the return of ex-College Players, the membership enrollment of the organization has steadily increased. The members of the club who enter for the purposes of acting, stage and back- stage set-up, and make-up, have enjoyed a year of interesting as well as beneficial meetings. It is the belief of this organization that the student who is well learned in the various phases of dramatics will prove to be a more efficient American teacher. On the set with Jane Eyre and Clarence Art Club First Row: J Madigan, D. Bunting, H. Buckingham, R Allen, Miss Murphey, P, Schanbacher, Pres ; C. McClintock, I. Owens, F. Marcucci, C Stilwell, R. Rexford. Second Row J Monroe, V. Fiddler, A Meyer, E Bohlayer, R Hollenshead; I. Ford, E, Leach, G. Razey, A McCawley. Each semester the Art Club sees its membership increased with those per- sons who attain an A in one semester of Art. Members find the club very active in carrying on a program of work, study and entertainment. The aim of the club is the enrichment of life through the study and appreci- ation of Art which we feel is vital to the education of the reliable teacher. The club is affiliated with the Eastern Arts Association, an active national organization, and each year the president is sent as a delegate to its convention. As a special project, the club takes complete charge of the campus deco- rations for the Christmas season annually. Under the direction of Miss Murphey, with Pauline Schanbacher as president, the club has participated in a very profitable and enjoyable year of meetings and lectures. Lambda Mu President, M. J. Peters Vice President, P. James Rec. Secretary, V. Oakey Cor. Secretary, E. Wetmore Treasurer, G. Razey Lambda Mu is the local honorary sorority fcr women students in the Music Department. Requirements for admission are based on musical talent, personality, integrity of character, and the attainment of second semester Sophomore rating plus certain academic and musical standards. Bi-annually Lambda Mu in- itiates candidates for membership and sponsors a banquet for members, active and alumnae, and the initiates. The traditional well program at Christmas this year, was based on a child ' s perception of the holiday, and proved to be most successful. The reading used and the arrangements of the vocal numbers were special projects of the girls of the sorority. Again this year, the group spent a week-end in New York City where they attended performances of the New York Philharmonic, the NBC Symphony, the Metropolitan Opera, and the Broadway musical, Oklahoma . Meetings during the year evolved around represen- tative national opera. The sorority has been under the capable sponsorship of Miss Brooks, with the fol- lowing officers: President — M. P. Peters Vice-President — P. James Treasurer — G. Razey Secretary — V. Oakey Corresponding Secretary — E. Wetmore Top Row: Miss Brooks, sponsor; R. Hollenshecd, B. Goodalt, P lames, A. McCawIey.

Wetmore CADET NURSES This year again Mansfield has assisted in the war program by providing the fundamental academic courses for the cadet nurses from Hahnemann Hospi- tal in Scrantcn and the Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre. Several groups from both hospitals have had their initial training on our campus. The cadets enroll for a sixteen-week period during which they pursue a vigorous pre-clini al program before proceeding to their actual participation in nursing at the hospital. These are the girls who have chosen so noble a pro- fession, and to whom we give a great deal of ad- miration. We send our best wishes for their future with them at their departure from M.S.T.C!

For those who re- call the old days of Mansfield ' s fame in sports, the presence of the team proved rejuvenating; several of the players are M club men who have come back to Mansfield after doing their part in win- ning the war for us. Among the returned players are Joe Markle, Dick Dorney, Pa! and Joe Cunningham, Joe Mollahan, and Paul Mulford. With Pat Cunningham and Bill Johnson as co-captains, the team fared a comparatively good opening season. We tangled with several of the teachers ' colleges plus a number of local teams. The outstanding game of the sea- son was the upsetting victory over Ithaca College. Special mention should be made of the prowess of Chuck Weed, Ed Deg- ville, and Earl Wilson. Student managers for the year were Leo McGinley and Wellington Lester, Mr. Marvin coaching. With this start, Mansfieldians can antici- pate a bigger and better athletic program in the succeeding years. Killed in Action With this publication of the Carontawan in the spring of 1946, Mansfield feels more than ever before, the absence of her former students who have given their lives for their country in World War II. With reverent praise, we pay tribute to these men. It is our prayer that the democratic ideals for which they died may stand as living forces throughout the world, edifices to their sacrifices. These men stand before us as eternal, radiant examples of the price of our way of Life, Just ice and Freedom: AJA John Robert Robert Joseph E Ralph Beirne Van Horn McMullen Reed Ross Kl km John M.
