Mansfield State Teachers College marks its one hundredth anniversary. One of Pennsylvania ' s state- controlled teachers colleges, with an enrollment of about seven hundred. Mansfield is recognized as one of the three state teachers colleges specializing in music education and home economics. With an extensive building program promised for the college, and the prospect of continued high enrollment in the vears ahead. Mansfield ' s future looks bright indeed. Yet. today ' s college, with its large faculty, its many student activities, and its beautiful campus, would not be what it is except for the efforts of many dedicated men and women over the years. Indeed, there would not be am college at all today except for the struggle and perseverance of its founders against almost incredible odds a centurv THE EARLY YEARS AS A SEMINARY One hundred years ago. Mansfield was perhaps the least important of all the villages in the Tioga Vallev. Its popu- lation was no more than three hundred and there were only about twenty painted buildings in the town. The edu- cational institution in Mansfield was the village school, which occupied one room. Nevertheless. Colonel Joseph S. Hoard proposed in 1854 that an institution of higher learning be located in Mansfield, and he himself donated a large strip of land for the new school. Colonel Hoard soon won others to this cause, and. in July, the project was explained to the public at a general meeting in the old Methodist Church building. The institution would be non-sectarian, but it would be under the patronage of the East Genesee Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, with the principal a member of that church. A stock concern was formed, with shares at fifty dollars each. As soon as subscriptions had reached five thousand dollars, an application was presented to the East Genesee Conference for recogni- tion of Mansfield as the site of the new seminary. The request was granted in November, 1954. At the first meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Mansfield Classical Semi- nary, on February 15. 1855. plans were adopted for the seminary building, a brick structure to cost twelve thousand dollars. This is the design of the original seminary building. This four-story structure opened to students in January. 1857. and burned three months later. c v Unfortunately, the building cost more than had been anticipated, and a debt was incurred to raise the extra money. The building was finally completed. On January 7, 1857, this institution opened its doors for the first time. One hundred and five students were enrolled at the new seminary. The second term began in April with an enrollment of one hundred and fifty students. Then, disaster struck. On April 22. the building caught fire and burned to the ground. The founders were determined, however, to start anew. That same night, while the tragic blaze was still in progress, the school ' s promoters pledged four thousand dollars toward the erection of a new building. Simon B. Elliott, who was to serve the school for many years, drew the plans for a four-story brick building and construction began. Most of the building ' s first story had been completed by September. This, however, was the year of the Panic of 1857, and economic conditions grew unfavorable. One insurance company in which the seminary had invested collapsed, while another refused to pay. Because the trustees were unable to pay the contractors, con- struction ceased. There was no more construction until August of the following year. It was thought that the East Genesee Conference might help the school. The members were invited to a free dinner on August 20, 1858, on the Island (now Smythe Park I. Crowds of people came to the event on special trains, but only three members of the conference appeared. They told the school leaders that the seminary could not expect aid from the conference. Help would have to come, it was realized, from the people of Mansfield itself. When the sun set that evening, those at the dinner had subscribed over four thousand dollars to be paid in labor, board, grain, provisions, saw- ing, lumber and cattle. Construction of the building resumed immediately. The first and second stories, and a good portion of the third, were completed by the time cold weather set it. Yet, there was no money on hand; debts still totaled eight thousand dollars, and from three to four thousand dollars were needed to complete the building. Work, however, was resumed in April, 1859. It was even possible to reopen the seminary in the partially com- pleted north wing on November 23. Only thirty students enrolled. Then arrived the period in the history of the seminary when it came under the domination of men who were less concerned about the school ' s welfare than about their own monetary interests. All but four of the old officers were retired at the annual election and a new building committee was appointed. To the new general agent and manager of the institution, all assets, debts, and subscriptions were assigned. Repeatedly during the next months, the school almost came up for sheriff ' s sale. In April, 1861, however, the incumbent principal, who had been in office for nine months, resigned, and was succeeded by the Reverend Edwin E. Wildman. Most of the old officers were restored in November. Unfortunately, some of their predecessors had been financially ruined by their venture and held a number of judgments against the institution. Because of this it seemed certain that the seminary would pass into the hands of receivers. SIXTY-FOUR YEARS OF THE NORMAL SCHOOL Fordyce A. Allen was not the first principal of the Normal School, but it was he who really put the institution on a firm basis. Here he is, shown with his faculty members. At this time, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was launching a teacher-training program in accordance with the Public School Act. Two state normal schools had already been established, at Millersville and Edinboro. This promoted the idea of having the institution at Mansfield also recognized as a state normal school. Simon B. Elliott worked hard in the state legislature for the attainment of this goal during the winter of 1861- 62. On July 6, 1862, the trustees at Mansfield unanimously voted to apply to the state for normal school recognition. 1 1 On December 12. 1862. the day alter a group ol examiners had met at Mansfield and reported favorably, the institution became the State Normal School of the Fifth District. The Normal School was officially opened as such in September. 1863. Although financial embarrassment was not immediately relieved, the first of many state ap- propriations, this one totaling five thousand dollars, was made in the winter of 1863. On July 13. 1864, Professor Fordyce A. Allen, for six years in charge of the Chester County. Pennsylvania. Normal School, became the principal of Mansfield State Normal School. (The first two principals of the Mansfield Normal School were the Reverend Edwin E. Wildman and the Reverend W. D. Tavlor. I To the efforts of Professor Allen, the school owes much for its growth and eventual prosperity. Simon B. Elliott, at that time president of the Board of Trustees, said this of Mr. Allen in an address delivered many years later in Alumni Hall: The deplorable condition of things was no terror to him. and in fact, rather suited him . . . Though not a college graduate, he was an educated man in the true and full sense of the word . . (He) lifted the school up to the place and horizon it has since maintained. One of Professor Allen ' s early accomplishments at the school was the planting of trees and shrubs around the now completed Normal building. Each of the early classes thenceforth planted a class tree, and many early teachers planted individual trees as memorials to their connections with the school. Most of the students in that early day. and for quite some time to come, took the Elementary Course, although the Scientific and Classical Courses were also offered. The Music Department, under Professor J. C. White, is mentioned in the first Normal School catalogue (1864-65). The Model School, offering facilities for practice teaching, was already in operation by 1866. Most of the teach- ing there was done by the graduating class of the Normal School. Eleven men and three women received diplomas at the first annual Normal School Commencement on June 28. 1866. Fordyce A. Allen, who had been in poor health, resigned as principal on February 16. 1869. He was. however, to return eight years later. What was life at the Normal School like in those early years? Joseph C. Doane. a member of the faculty from 1873 to 1881 and principal in 1880. gave his impressions many years later. Until 1874, he remembered, the entire school was located in the one building that was then known as the Normal building and was later called South Hall. (The evergreen trees around the building, a few of which remain today, were then no more than ten or twelve feet high. The space now occupied by Alumni Hall. North Hall, and the rest of the front campus was bare of trees and buildings. On the first floor of the Normal building was located the dining room. (Regarding this, the early catalogues note: The boarding hall is so arranged that students are grouped in families of ten or twelve at the tables . . . Each table has an equal number of each sex alternately seated around it. ) A rudimentary library and three or four classrooms were also on the first floor. The second floor housed the chapel, the principal ' s office, a few dormi- tory rooms, and most of the classrooms. The third and fourth floors consisted of dormitory rooms, the ladies occupying the southern half of the building and the gentlemen the northern half. On each of these floors, the rooms were heated by small wood stoves and lighted by kerosene. They opened into a central hall, heated by a large coal stove. Furniture was scanty and rude compared with that of a later day. Behind the Normal building was a rude wooden gymnasium, partially equipped with huge weights and other devices. Chapel exercises were held in the morning and evening for many years. Professor Doane recalled that interesting topics of the day were often discussed by faculty members or selected students. The presence and growth of the Normal School was a great stimulus to the life of the community. During Pro- fessor Allen ' s first five-year administration. Mansfield had increased in population from three hundred to six hundred. Although Professor J. T. Stret was chosen principal on May 20, 1869, his health never permitted him to assume the duties, and he died in November. Charles H. Verrill, who had been acting principal, was named principal in January, 1870. By 1872, D. C. Jewitt was principal of a State Normal Academy at Mansfield, divided into vocal, theoretical, in- strumental, and aesthetical departments. Sl Mj Dr. Samuel H. Albro became principal in 1892, at a time when the Normal School was undergoing a rapid expansion. By September, 1873, when the Reverend Dr. Jason N. Fradenburgh succeeded Professor Verrill, Mansfield ' s population had reached one thousand. The rhost important event to occur during Dr. Fraden- burgh ' s administration was the erection, in 1874, of the second brick building on the campus. The dining hall was transferred to this new four-story building, which also became the women ' s dormitory and was the fore- runner of today ' s North Hall. The old Normal building continued to house the men. I In the photograph shown inside the front cover, the new building is shown at the left, the old building at the right. The picture was taken before the balcony had yet been built onto the new women ' s dormitory. The white schoolhouse, built in 1838, is still standing.) Charles H. Verrill was elected principal for a second time in September, 1875. Then, in September, 1877, Fordyce A. Allen returned to the principalship. When the new women ' s dormitory was finished in 1874, the Model School, open to a limited number of children under fourteen, took a suite of rooms in the building. In 1877, it was announced that the school would be com- pletely reconstructed, no pupil to be received for less than one year. During his administration, Professor Allen succeeded in having a law passed in the state legislature that no intoxicating liquors could be sold, or billiard tables kept, within two miles of the Normal School. At this time, all prospective graduates took what were called the State Board Examinations, which were given orally and covered a student ' s entire work at Mansfield. The earliest Normal School Commencements were held in the school chapel. After the completion of the present Methodist Church building in 1872, they were usually held there until Alumni Hall was built. In the early days, each member of the class wrote and delivered an original oration or essay. Fordyce A. Allen died an untimely death on February 11, 1880. Because of his work, the school had been placed on a firm foundation. As a result, it was now ready for the tremendous expansion that it was about to undergo. Professor Joseph C. Doane served as principal during the remainder of the 1879-80 school year. In September, 1880, the principalship was assumed by Dennison C. Thomas, who was recognized as an executive, financier, and scholar. At that time, there were still only two good buildings on the Mansfield Campus, the old and yet unremodeled South Hall and the original North Hall. During the administration of Dr. Thomas, however, a tremendous construc- tion program was launched. When Dr. Thomas left in 1892, after twelve years as principal, the face of this campus had been almost completely changed and it had begun to take on the appearance of modern Mansfield. The first of these chan ges was the erection of Alumni Hall, begun about 1884 and completed in the spring of 1886. The building, named after the Alumni Association, which donated the bell, was to house for the next forty- three years the school auditorium. It was here that the Normal School commencements were held. Over the years, Alumni Hall also served as a building for college classes, for the Model School, and for a time, the junior high school. With its high towers overlooking the college and the town, the new building presented a striking appearance, practically unchanged down to the present day. In 1888, the old Gymnasium was built. Its principle feature was its large drill hall, in which the ladies were drilled in light training and the gentlemen in military discipline and tactics. After half a century as the Gymnasium, this building is still in active use as the Student Center. 13 AT THE T OFTHECEN In 1900, Alumni Hall was about fifteen years old. Not only the Normal School auditorium, but also classrooms for the Normal School and Train ing School were located here. When this picture of North Hall was taken, only the north wing (left) and the central portion. of the present building had been completed, between 1891 and 1894. The section at the south was what remained of the original North Hall, erected in 1874. When the south- wing of the present building was later con- structed, this old structure was torn away. This is the old Gymnasium (now the Student Center) as it originally appeared. Note the arched entrance at the south. The lines of the building have since been simplified. This is how South Hall, the oldest building on the a decade after its enlargement in 188°. nppeared about The appearance of old South Hall, the original Normal building, wa s substantially altered the next year when it was enlarged and extensively remodeled. The College Library was a few years later moved into this building. By 1890, only one of the four buildings on the campus looked as it had a mere decade before. That was the original North Hall, or Ladies ' Building, and around it grew up the most ambitious project of all. Plans, announced in 1891, called for a completely reconstructed Ladies ' Building, which, when finished, would measure two hundred seventy feet in length and would be five and a half stories high. This was to be the present North Hall, still the third largest women ' s dormitory among the fourteen Pennsylvania state teachers colleges. The North wing, which contained the large dining room still in use, was completed in 1892. The central portion of the building was finished two years later. About one third of the original North Hall, built in 1874, was torn away when the central portion of the present building was built. It was decided, however, to leave the remaining two-thirds of the old four-story structure standing and to let it serve as the southern portion of North Hall until a new south wing could be built. This unusual arrangement was to last for fourteen years. Meanwhile, progress in other fields continued under Dr. Thomas ' s administration. In 1887, Hamlin E. Cogs- well became Director of Music and organized the Normal School of Music on the plan of the leading conservatories of America and Europe. In addition to this four-year conservatory course, there was a two year course given in public school music. The Art Department was also an important feature of the Normal School. Instruction was given in drawing and painting, and illustrated lectures were presented. The Training School, or Model School, took tremendous strides while Dr. Thomas was princip al. In 1881, there were five grades in all, each with about twenty pupils. The pupils in the five grades varied in ages from eight to fourteen. Each student teacher had twenty-one weeks of practice teaching, which was divided among the different grades. By 1892, however, the training school took pupils from six to sixteen. It had eleven grades with ten to twenty pupils in each grade. In 1891, expenses at Mansfield were lower than at any other school of its type in the state. They amounted to one hundred and eighty-nine dollars a year for dormitory students, or fourteen dollars per term. The tremendous growth of the Normal School during Dr. Thomas ' twelve years as principal is shown by the fact that, in 1880, the year Dr. Thomas took over, the graduates numbered thirty. In 1891, the year before he resigned, there were one hundred and seven men and women graduated. Dr. Tho mas was succeeded as principal in 1892 by Samuel H. Albro, who continued the high ideals of his pred- ecessor. The departments of the Normal School in the middle 1890 ' s were those of pedagogy (now called education), language, mathematics, physical science, history and civil government, physiology and hygiene (and physical cul- ture) , and the arts. By the late nineties, all the buildings on the Mansfield campus were lighted by electricity. Andrew Thomas Smith succeeded Dr. Albro as principal in 1899. During Dr. Smith ' s administration, Mansfield and the other State Normal Schools came closer to college calibre. The old courses of study were dropped in 1902. New courses, worked out by the normal school principals of the state at a meeting in Harrisburg, were put into effect. As a result, the regular course was expanded from two to three years. Just six years later, a four-year course of study was adopted by the Pennsylvania normal schools. The long-established Music Department at Mansfield had enjoyed especially rapid growth around the turn of the century. For that reason in 1903 the department was renamed the Mans- field Conservatory of Music, and its instruction was made more complete. Here is a scene from a physical education class in the Gymnasium around the turn of the century. A great deal of use appears to have been made of gymnastic apparatus. in tne middle 01 tne decade, aDoui iour nundred students were enroneo at tne iNormal School. North Hall was still unfinished when the year 1908 began. By the spring of that year, however, the remaining portion of the original building had been dismantled and removed, and the construction of the new south wing got under way. The first three floors of this final section were occupied in early 1909. and. soon, after, the entire south wing was furnished and in use. In the fall of 1910, a three-manual Austin organ, claimed to be the finest school pipe organ in the state, was in- stalled in the third floor auditorium of Alumni Hall. The organ was later reconstructed and moved into Straughn Hall in 1930. The year of 1912 marked the fiftieth anniversary of Mansfield ' s recognition as a State Normal School, and a five-day Semi-Centennial Celebration was held from June 16 to 20. All over town, stores and homes were draped with red and black, and Alumni Hall was filled to overflowing for the many special programs that were held. As a part of the Semi-Centennial observance, a memorial tablet was presented by the student body and placed in Alumni Hall. Hand carved from dark wood, this tablet bore the words, Semi-Centennial Memorial, 1862-1912. Character, Scholarship, Culture, Service. Today, the tablet is found in the lobby of Straughn Hall. The graduat- ing class that year numbered one hundred and fifty two, the largest in the school ' s history. When the tower of Alumni Hall was built and the bell was hung in the 1880 ' s, no clock was included, and the hands on the clock faces were merely painted on. The bell was rung by hand at periodic intervals during the day. Finally, however, a clock was installed, and it has been striking the hours over Mansfield ever since. Between the time of Fordyce A. Allen ' s death in 1880 and the beginning of William R. Straughn ' s administration in 1914, many outstanding men and women taught at the Normal School and in the Model School. The names of Harvey J. Van Norman, Hamlin E. Cogswell, G. Clayton Robertson, I. M. Gayman. William R. Longstreet. Eliza J. Boyce, and Mrs. Mary Adelaide Jenks are still familiar to those who have known the institution. When Andrew Thomas Smith left the principalship in 1913, the Board of Trustees chose, as his successor. William Ringgold Straughn, who had been Superintendent of Schools at Dubois, Pennsylvania. Vast changes were wrought in the institution during Dr. Straughn ' s twenty-two years of leadership. In 1914, the first year of Dr. Straughn ' s administration, the separate town and country elementary schools in 16 This is the front campus of the Normal School as it appeared in 1915. North Hall, the women ' s dormitory, had been completed six years before Mansfield were merged and moved into the newly completed Model School building. (This structure is known today as the Education Center.) A kindergarten was inaugurated the following year. Up to 1920, although the Normal School was part of the state teacher-training system, it was owned by stock- holders. That year, however, the institution was purchased by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and placed under full state control. Marked advances were made in Mansfield ' s program and facilities in at least three separate fields because of this transfer. In September, 1920, a ninth grade was established in the basement of Alumni Hall. At the beginning of the next year, the seventh and eighth grades were moved over from the Model School, and the first floor of Alumni Hall became the seat of the new junior high school. The Music Department took an important step forward in 1921 when Mrs. Grace Steadman, head of the depart- ment, organized a new three-year course of music. Previous to 1920, a domestic science course had been taught at Mansfield, but at this time a second teacher was added and the Home Management Cottage was purchased. The next year, a three-year curriculum was set-up in what was by then known as the Home Economics Department. This curriculum was lengthened in 1925 to four years. At the end of the decade, about ten persons were being graduated from the department every spring. MANSFIELD BECOMES A STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE The importance of the teacher-training institutions in Pennsylvania had increased enormously by the middle 1920 ' s. Normal schools now dotted the state. They had grown immensely in size, and the instruction and training they offered had reached the point where it was truly of college calibre. As time went on, increasing numbers of educators, Dr. Straughn of Mansfield prominent among them, were working toward having the state normal schools of Pennsylvania raised to collegiate status. Their efforts were to bear fruit. In June, 1926, the State Council of Education passed a resolution authorizing Mansfield to confer the degree of Bachelor of Science in both elementary and secondary education. This act was formalized on October 25 of that 1 year in a special ceremony in Alumni Hall. The institution also received the power to grant the Bachelor of Science degree in its two special fields, music and home economics. Due to an error in legislation, however, Mansfield re- mained a normal school for the time being. and now stood in its full magnificence. At the right are Alumni Hall (note the flagpole hanging from the tower belfry) and the old South Hall. 17 Dr. William R. Straughn came to the Normal School as principal in 1914. It was during his administration that Mansfield became the first state teachers college in Penn- sylvania. Here is Dr. Straughn (first row. sixth from left I in one of his early pictures with the Normal School faculty. 18 The following year on May 13, 1927, an event occurred that was historic not only for Mansfield but for the entire system of public education in Pennsylvania. On that day Mansfield became the first institution in the state to be designated as a state teachers college. Thus began the transformation that was soon to raise all of Pennsvl- vania ' s fourteen state-owned teacher-training institutions to college rank. Mansfield, whose Music Department was the oldest of its type in the state, was the first state teachers college in Pennsylvania to grant a degree in music education . In the fall of 1928, the three-year course of study was replaced by a new four-year course. The Home Economics Department also continued to develop. In 1933, the Federal Board of Vocational Educa- tion approved the college as a vocational home economics training center and granted financial aid. Dr. Straughn, as it turned out, was the last principal Mansfield was to have. Soon after the Normal School be- came a college, he became known as the president. In 1927. after six years on one floor of Alumni Hall, the junior high school had moved into a new building. This large brick structure remains as today ' s Campus Junior High School. About that time, a temporary wooden Science Building (the Lab ) was erected on the site of the present brick building. It remained for nearly a quarter of a century. In 1929, the Alumni Hall auditorium was abandoned. College programs were held in the old gymnasium for the next year. Plans were soon made for a fine modern auditorium and work got underway. The new building was completed by the late summer of 1930. More than one thousand students, teachers, parents, and guests attended the dedicatory- exercises in October. On December 18, 1930, a special program was presented in the auditorium. W. W. Allen, chairman of the Board of Trustees, spoke during the course of the program and revealed to President Straughn that as a lasting tribute to him the auditorium would henceforth be known as Straughn Hall. Improvements in the physical property of Mansfield under Dr. Straughn were not confined to the large buildings. Also constructed since 1914 were the heating plant, infirmary, Y Hut and president ' s home. The old gymnasium was enlarged and the tennis courts and bowling alleys were provided. During William R. Straughn ' s administration, a large number of men and women joined the faculty at Mans- field and remained for many years to become familiar and well-loved figures on the campus and in the community. Some, indeed, were here until a short time ago, while a few are still on the faculty today. Those whose names can no longer be found on the faculty rolls at Mansfield include Arthur T. Belknap. John W. Cure, Miss Stella Doane, Isaac Doughton. Herbert E. Manser, Herbert Grant, Edward C. Russell, George B. Strait, Irving T. Chatterton. Will George Butler, Mrs. Grace Steadman, Miss Cora Atwater. and Miss Margaret O ' Brien. There are others whose as- sociation with the college stems from their positions in the campus schools. These include George A. Retan. Myron E. Webster. Hugh W. Alger. Miss Dorthy Hutchinson, and Miss Jessie Grigsby. Two teachers who were on the faculty before, during, and after Dr. Straughn ' s administration were Miss Alice Doane and George W. Cass. In the middle 1930 ' s, Dr. Straughn ' s health began to fail. Nevertheless, he continued to take part in the regular activities of the college. As a matter of fact, Dr. Straughn participated as usual in the spring commencement exer- cises of 1936. That summer, however, his condition grew worse. On August 21, before the fall reopening of the college, he died. Mansfield was shocked and saddened by William R. Straughn ' s untimely death at the age of fifty-four. He had headed the institution during twenty-four of its most momentous years. The man, under whose administration Mansfield became a college, is still remembered as a truly outstanding and inspiring individual. On September 2, 1936, Dr. Arthur T. Belknap, Dean of Instruction, was named acting president. The following year, on March 13, the Board of Trustees elected Dr. Joseph F. Noonan to the presidency. He assumed his new duties on May 1, 1937. The most important step forward under Dr. Noonan was an extensive building program that took place in 1938. In this year three of the most outstanding buildings on the campus were erected: the Arts Building (to house the Music and Home Economics Department, art and health classrooms, and the Home Management Apartment), the new Gymnasium, and the new Elementary School building. Construction began on February 8, 1938. A year later these three buildings were substantially completed, and they soon began to play the important roles that they continue to fill today. The Home Management Cottage had been torn down to make way for the new Gymnasium. The old Gymnasium, meanwhile, became the Student Center. The old Model School Building was turned into a classroom building and renamed the Education Center. On August 1, 1939, Dr. Lester K. Ade succeeded Dr. Noonan as president of the college. For the previous four years Dr. Ade had headed the state school system as Superintendent of Public Instruction. Dr. Ade. president for two years, was succeeded by Dr. Willis E. Pratt in 1941. During Dr. Pratt ' s administration, the United States entered World War II. During the war years, the college enrollment was greatly depleted, and many campus organizations were discontinued. The college itself, however, con- tinued without faltering. Indeed, it was during this time that Mansfield became recognized by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. In June, 1943, President Pratt accepted a commission in the Military Government Division of the United States Army. James G. Morgan, Dean of Instruction, was named acting president as he had also been after the resigna- tions of Presidents Noonan and Ade. Later that same summer, Mr. Morgan was elected president of the college. He had been Dean of Instruction since 1941 and he continued to hold this position until 1946. Mr. Morgan had been at Mansfield since 1921 during which time he had taught education and psychology. President Morgan, head of the college for nearly a decade and a half, has made it possible for Mansfield to advance. He has initiated plans for the future improvement and recogni- tion of the school. In 1946, Herbert E. Manser was named Dean of Inslruction. He had joined the faculty in 1922 as instructor in French, a position which he still held at the time of his appointment as dean. All through the war, enrollment at Mansfield had continued to be very low. At the war ' s end, however, the situa- tion was sharply reversed. Scores of veterans enrolled in order to receive the education that they had missed during the war. Enrollment shot up to the record level of approximately nine hundred. The college facilities were sorely taxed. Men students not only occupied the floors of old South Hall, but overflowed into Alumni Hall which was made into a temporary men ' s dor- mitory. 1950 was a memorable year in the history of Mansfield State Teachers College. In August, it was announced that Old South Hall and the temporary Science Building were to be replaced by two modern brick structures de- signed by Thomas Hendryx. From the 1890 ' s until the summer of 1950, the Col- lege Library occupied these spacious quarters on the first floor of old South Hall. South Hall, although remodeled in 1889, had been started in 1857 and was the oldest building on the campus. In fact, it is the story of this building ' s slow erection that forms so touching a part of the early history of the school. By 1950, however, only the lower floors of the old structure could be used, for the upper ones were too badh dilapidated. The wreckers went to work on old South Hall that same year, and soon it was gone. The new four-story men ' s dormitory, incorporating modern methods of construction and design, rose on the site of the old. The stark simplicity of the building makes an interesting contrast with the older architecture around it. The new Science Building, a one-story brick structure with a two-story section at the north end. added to the beauty of the campus, blending perfectly into the natural surroundings. Alumni Hall continued as a men ' s dormitory while the new dormitory was being built. By 1953, both new build- ings were completed and put into use. It was not long until the new men ' s dormitory had taken on a familiar name — South Hall. North Hall was by no means neglected. In 1950, a modern kitchen was built. In the summer of 1953, the building was given a new slate roof and the ten ornamental cupolas were removed. North Hall was made fireproof, and an enclosed fire escape was erected. To provide for the ever-growing number of automobiles on the campus, the college ' s parking facilities were im- proved in the summer of 1956. Beginning in September, 1951. a revised curriculum for all the Pennsylvania state teacher ' s colleges went into effect. Designed to place greater emphasis on general education, especially during the first two years, the revised curriculum takes advantage of recent developments in the field of professional teacher preparation. In 1955, the students of the college were provided with a Student Union, a place where they could go during the day for refreshments, recreation, and socializing. As a direct result of the forward-looking administration of Presi- dent Morgan, and the willingness of the members of the student body to help finance this project, a Student Union at Mansfield was opened in the fall of 1955. Today, The Hut, as the refurnished Y Hut is called, is a favorite gathering place for both students and faculty. The college was saddened on October 25, 1955, to learn of the sudden death of its dean of instruction, Herbert E. Manser. On June 1, 1956, he was succeeded by Dr. Harry W. Earlley who came to Mansfield from the Edinboro State Teachers College, Pennsylvania. Due to the policies of the administration and the encouragement of the faculty, many varied student organiza- tions on campus have formed an important part of life at Mansfield for many years. Through these clubs, associa- tions, honorary societies, professional fraternities, and music groups, students with like interests have had an op- portunity to work together and share their common interests. Special events, too, have highlighted each college year. Formal and semi-formal dances, week-end activities, musical concerts, football games, Homecoming Day, May Day — to name but a few — have added variety and excitement to college life. The Alumni Association of the college, of which Edwin S. Coles is president, has had as its purpose the preser- vation of a sense of identity among the alumni and the maintenance of continued contact between them and the college. Alumni Day, the last Saturday of the school year in May, is set aside specifically for the alumni, and it features many special activities, including a meeting of the association, class reunions, and an alumni exhibit. The vigor of the Alumni Association is also attested to by the existence of twelve alumni clubs in both Pennsylvania and New York. In one hundred years, Mansfield has graduated some eight thousand men and women. A large portion of these have entered the public school systems in Pennsylvania and other states putting to use the training that they re- ceived at Mansfield. Many have become elementary and high school teachers or principals, while others have served as superintendents of schools. Among Mansfield graduates, also, are the presidents of several teachers col- leges and the president of one of the nation ' s leading liberal arts colleges. Mansfield alumni have excelled in other fields, and include a former governor of Pennsylvania, members of gov- ernors ' cabinets, a justice of the State Supreme Court, ministers of various denominations, the president of a rail- road, hospital directors, and many others. The influence which Mansfield has exerted in many fields as a result of the achievements of its graduates is incalculable. 20 With the building of Straughn Hall in 1930, the college gained a fine new auditorium with a seating capacity of 1250. This scene shows Straughn Hall in the ' 30 ' s, before the Arts Building was built. 21 Many Mansfieldians remember with nostalgia the old South Hall or men ' s dormitory, which was torn down in 1950. This is how the building looked in its last years on the campus. MANSFIELD FACES THE FUTURE Mansfield has indeed come far since those first days of struggle and hope one hundred years ago. This college has ample reason to be proud of the accomplishments of the past one hundred years. Yet, if an institution is to continue to advance, it must plan ahead for the future. It is with this realization that plans for an extensive program of improvements to the campus are being made under President Morgan ' s leader- ship. The four initial projects have been granted a total state allocation of $640,000. Planned for are a new adminis- tration and library building, a new athletic field, extension of utility services, and a comprehensive study of the campus. The administration and the library building, which has aroused the greatest interest of the four projects, has been alloted $520,000. The first floor of the new building will house the College Library, which has been occupy- ing temporary quarters in North Hall since the demolition of the old South Hall in 1950. On the second floor will be the administrative offices, which have been located in North Hall for many years. The style of the new building will be similar to that of the two most recent buildings on the campus. South Hall and the Science Building, but it will harmonize with the older buildings as well. The administration and librarv building is expected to be located approximately where Alumni Hall stands now. but the definite location will de- pend on the outcome of the comprehensive campus study. Alumni Hall will be torn down when the new building is constructed. When this historic old structure is finally demolished, many who have known Mansfield will feel a bit saddened, for even the clock tower, the only part of the building still in use today will have to be removed. However, the college is looking forward to the erection of a fine new clock tower to be an integral part of the administration and library building. Another part of the initial building program calls for a college athletic field, probably back of the Junior High School building. The new field will include a football gridiron, a baseball diamond, a cinder track, and facilities for home and visiting teams. Later, a field house, grandstand, and parking area will be added. 22 Utility services at the college will be extended in order to meet present needs and future anticipations. Electric, steam, storm, and sewage lines will be improved, as well as clock, fire alarm, and emergency lighting systems. The purpose of the comprehensive study of the campus will be to formulate a logical long-range plan for the location of future buildings on the campus. Some of these future projects to be incorporated in the long range plan are already contemplated, and, it is hoped, will have been completed by 1965. They are based on an expected enrollment of fifteen hundred students by that year. The project includes the addition of a swimming po l to the Gymnasium, provision for a central storeroom, a new infirmary, additional dormitory facilities for two hundred twenty men students, additional dor- mitory facilities for one hundred fifty women students, a new classroom building, and renovations to North Hall. Mansfield is looking to the future in other realms. The college is hoping that, in not too many years, it and the other state teachers colleges in Pennsylvania will be able to give graduate work and confer Master ' s degrees in the field of education. Mansfield has undergone many changes in the one hundred years since its founding. As the college ' s plans for the future already show, Mansfield will continue to change — and to expand — during the next century. This it must do if it is to adjust to the needs of a changing and expanding educational system, for it will be my meeting these needs that it will continue to serve the ideal to which it has long been dedicated. Expressed in 1874 at the dedica- tory exercises of the original North Hall, this is the ideal, held by all state teachers colleges: that intelligence and education shall be universal, that the sick and the poor, and child of him who has power and place and of him who treads the lowly paths of life shall all receive alike the benefits of education. Simon B. Elliott said, in 1890, that the founders of Mansfield did not work for the love of glory. Rather, they worked out of the desire that the dark places left by a poor or scanty education should henceforth be lighted. They had groped in darkness, but, realizing what they had lacked, they could now become light bringers for future generations. By providing a good liberal education at low cost for thousands of men and women over the years and by preparing them, in turn, to teach the children from all classes of society, this institution has been a light bringer ever since that early day. The world is indeed better, in the words of the Alma Mater, for the beacon light which thou hast shed abroad. This great light — the light of education — will surely become ever stronger, and its circle ever wider, in the years that lie ahead. This is the old Home Management Cottage, which belonged to the Home Economics Department throughout the twenties and most of the thirties. The building was removed in 1938 to make way for the present Gymnasium. 23 This history of Mansfield State Teachers College and the pictures that have accompanied it have shown the gradual development of this institution over the course of a century. On the other pages of this book are scenes and descrip- tions of Mansfield as it is today on its one hundredth anniversary. There is pictured North Hall, which dates back over six decades but has been con- stantly modernized and improved through the years. There, too, are shown South Hall and the Science Building, functional new structures that presage a tremendous program of improvement to the campus as Mansfield ' s second century gets underway. Likewise, the organization pages feature one associa- tion that dates from two groups founded in the nineteenth century, and two organizations that have been brought to the campus within the last year and a half. Thus can be seen not only Mansfield ' s respect for the old, where the old has worth today, but also its readiness to adopt new forms and new ideas in keeping with contemporary life. All through these other pages is portrayed the Mansfield State Teachers College of 1957, serving its aim of training teachers as it has for nearly all of its first century, and ready to face its second century with imagination and confidence.

MANSFiei 26 HA1U Wll George ButUr.Vlu cOoc- ADMINISTRATION 27 PRESIDENT JAMES G. MORGAN 1857—1957 WE LIVE IN DEEDS NOT YEARS As we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Mansfield, we are proud, not so much that this college is now one hundred years old, as we are of the progress made in terms of educational opportunity and service in the lives of thousands who claim Mansfield as their Alma Mater. The college had its beginning in the establishment of the Mansfield Classical Seminary, chartered January 7, 1857. Unfortunately six days after the opening of the second term, the building burned to the ground. Undaunted by this disaster, and after many disheartening delays, another building was partially completed and opened in December 1861. Due to many financial difficulties, the Seminary was ready to close its doors when on December 12, 1862, it became the State Normal School of the Fifth Senatorial District — the third oldest normal school in the Commonwealth. Mansfield as a sem- inary, normal school and college has developed through one hundred years into an outstanding state institution, authorized to grant degrees and accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. Hundreds of her alumni have become outstanding leaders in every field of human endeavor and are proud to claim her as their Alma Mater. We can only chart the future as we know the contributions of the past and present and what would appear to be the trends and objectives of the future. As we stand on the threshold of another hundred years, we are proud, not so much that the college is one hundred years old or as we see the progress made in rapidly growing enrollments, faculty and facilities, but that she has adhered to the primary purpose of preparing good teachers for the public schools of the Commonwealth and is gearing that program of teacher education to the rapidly changing times in contemporary history and enlarging her vision as to needs and services. The challenge of the future to the Mansfield State Teachers College was never as great as it is now. We believe in that future and that this college will continue to meet the educational needs of thousands of students in the spirit of the college motto: Character as the essential; scholarship as the enrich- ment; and service as the end of all worthy endeavor. 28 (Ja fC z yu y)io DR.

BENNETT B.S., Mansfield; M.A., Columbia University Mansfield has prepared teachers for the elementary schools of Pennsylvania since 1862. It was during this year that the Mansfield Classical Seminary became the third State Normal School in the state of Pennsylvania. In 1926, when Mansfield became a State Teachers College, a four-year program in ele- mentary education was established. During the four years required to complete the work in elementary education, students receive a broad background in general education and in pro- fessional training necessary for understanding the growth and behavior of children. In order to be better fitted for meeting the problems in the classrooms, students begin their observa- tion and participation experiences during their freshman year and continue to do so throughout their four years of prepara- tion. Student teaching during the senior year completes this program. The Elementary Department is growing rapidly in response to the increasing demand for good elementary teachers.

This curriculum provides a program of courses and activities designed to give each of its students a background in all phases of musical composition and presen- tation. Among the courses offered are instrumental music lessons, solfeggio, keyboard harmony, theory, orchestration, condensation, and music history. In preparation for teaching, each student in the department is given methods courses, and is required to observe music classes and to do practice teaching in the campus schools. In recognition of the value of extra- curricular activities, participation in some of the musical organizations on campus is required. It is the aim of the Music Department to prepare teachers who are both capable educators and accomplished musicians.

CLASSE, 53 CLASS OF 1957 Richard Millitch, Marguerite Drissel, Robert Swinsick, Harold Hackett. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President ROBERT SWINSICK Vice President HAROLD HACKETT Secretary MARGUERITE DRISSEL Treasurer RICHARD MILLITCH ALBERT SUNDBERG Adviser 54 The Class of 1957 has completed four years at Mansfield State Teachers College. These have been years re- quiring much hard work, but they have also been years filled with excitement. The seniors, ready now to leave this college and set out on separate paths, are proud to have been educated at Mansfield. This, the hundredth anni- versary year of the institution ' s founding, has been a busy one for all, and the seniors have done their part in mak- ing it successful and prosperous. Last September, when the seniors returned once more to Mansfield, they began a full schedule of student teach- ing, an event to which they had been looking forward with increasing expectations for three years. The next month, the class took part in the Parents ' Day activities. At the All College Talent Show, they tied with the sophomores for third place. In November, the seniors entered a float in the Homecoming Day parade. The Homecoming Queen. Marge Drissel, was a member of their class. The Senior Class took an active part in the Christmas festivities in December, including the Grecian Sing. With the beginning of the second semester, the members of the class considered t eaching positions and made other plans for the future. The two big events of this final semester were the Junior-Senior Ball, held in April, and the May Day festivities for which nine senior girls formed the court. A number of seniors participated in and won awards for sports this year. In other fields, too, members of the class won special recognition. Commencement, marking the end of their four years at Mansfield, made the seniors mindful of the knowledge, habits, and experiences which they have gained here. To those at Mansfield who have given them understanding and help, they extend sincere appreciation. To the century-old Mansfield State Teachers College they expressed this hope: May we use what you have given us. SENIOR CLASS While waiting for the rest of their classmates to arrive, this group of seniors vocalize before going Christmas caroling. 55 SENIORS WILLIAM N. ALLFORD West Pittston, Pa.

Some of us plan to teach, others will pursue different occupations, but we are all directed toward one common aim: to serve others by achieving the design of living established through our associations and experiences during our stay on campus the past four years. The success of our efforts depends upon us. May we willingly direct our lives toward our goal, never forgetting the training, understanding, and opportunities on which it was founded. We value our yearbook for the memories and aspirations it represents. BERNICE FARNHAM ZEAFLA Elementary WAA 1, 2, 3; Art Club 2, 3; Band 3. Liberty, Pa. JOHN ZELLNER Mansfield, Pa.

VIRGINIA HOKANSON BERTRAM FRANCIS Adviser 74 The junior year is a year which serves as the transition between the newness of college life and its final milestone. One hundred thirty-five students are affiliated with this class of 1958. To be a full-fledged member of this class, a student must complete at least sixty-three semester hours of credit. This is one class that never lost its freshman enthusiasm. Profiting by the past two years of pleasant memories and experiences, the juniors have emerged as a united organization. This year, the juniors received honorable mention for their Homecoming float which was based on the theme of The Roaring Twenties. Later, in October, the juniors presented a skit in the All-College Talent Show. Again the theme was The Roaring Twenties. For this they won first prize. The class participated in the Grecian Sing at Christmastime, planned the Junior-Senior Ball, and managed to keep quite busy throughout the entire school year. The juniors not only have excelled as a class, but they have given the school many fine athletes, leaders, musicians, homemakers, and prospective teachers. JUNIOR CLA JOANETTE ALBEE Galeton, Pa.

SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS President WILLIAM THOMPSON Vice President FRED SMITH Secretary __ LOIS COX Treasurer THEODORA QUEIPO s C. WAYNE STRINGER Adviser 86 This year has brought a feeling of increased confidence and importance to the sophomores. Throughout last year, the students in the class of 1959 could not quite forget the fact that they were still frosh. In the fall, however, their place was taken by a new group of freshmen, and the class of 1959 had risen a rung on the ladder toward that coveted position marked Seniors. This has been a year filled with activities — varied and numerous — for the sopho- mores. Through the many memories of these action-packed months, a few events stand out. In the fall Homecoming Day parade, the class entered a float which received honor- able mention. On Parents ' Day, the sophomores competed with the other classes in the evening Talent Show; although the sophomores failed to win first prize this year, they are looking forward to victory next year. In the weeks before Christmas vacation, the sophomores worked hard to help make the college Christmas observance a success. In addition, the class made a donation toward the purchase of new Christmas tree lights. The Freshman-Sophomore Ball, one of the high points of the year, was held in January. The sophomores were especially active in organizations this year. Quite a number were initiated into honorary societies and fraternities. Several sophomores were outstanding this year in college sports. As the year ended, the sophomores prepared to move up still another rung on the ladder — just a year away from that coveted top position. ■OPHOMORE CLA.

As the all important first week rolled by, new acquaintances were quickly made and lasting friendships were pleasantly incorporated. Through class elections and initiation, the personnel of the class was gradually pulled together into a unit, and as the weeks sped onward, the freshmen found themselves in the midst of the many activities of college life. One of the first of these activities was the creation of a float for Homecoming Day. Another activity, in which the class dis- played its dramatic talents, was the writing and staging of a skit for Parents ' Day. The fact that this endeavor won second place came as welcome news since the tradition that frosh are never fortunate enough to be recognized was broken. As the year progressed, the individuals of the class began to show true college spirit as they spon- sored activities to raise funds for the Christmas lighting, helped to plan the Christmas Dance, and participated in the Grecian Sing. One of the most successful and enjoyable events in which the freshmen played an important role was that of the combined Freshman-Sophomore Ball. This activity was one of the most important affairs of the year. The completion of the vital first year brought assurance to the freshmen that there is nothing quite like college life.

HULLOW 106 The student body of M.S.T.C. does not consist entirely of prospective teachers. The college serves another purpose in addition to that of sending out young men and women to join the ranks of the teaching profession. For many years, Mansfield State Teachers College has taken part in the training of student nurses. This has formed part of the preparation that these women have received before embarking on their careers in nursing. This year, Mansfield was honored to receive thirty student nurses from the Hahnemann Hospital in Scranton. The young women arrived at the college last August, before the regular school year had begun, and remained until October, a month after about seven hundred regular students had again immersed themselves in studies and activities. While here, the Hahnemann nurses took courses in both academic and nursing subjects. Because of the nature of their training, the majority of their courses were in the field of science. During their stay at Mansfield, the nurses contributed much to the campus scene. Demonstrating that they could form an integral and valuable part of college life, they more than earned the welcome they received here. Mansfield looks forward to the coming of a new group of nurses this summer.

All students at Mansfield State Teachers College are members of the Mansfield Student Government Association. Its purposes are to stimulate pride in the college, to promote the scholastic and moral tone of the institution, to give students experience in the planning of campus activities, and to encourage them to participate actively in college life. Meetings of the association, at which every student at the college may speak and vote, are held at least twice every year during the assembly period in Straughn Hall. The fourteen - member Student Council is the governing body of the association. The four officers are elected by the entire student body, while the other ten members rep- resent the two dormitory associations, the day students ' organization, the four class officers and the two major student publications. In pursuing its aim of giving the student body an important voice in the planning of campus life, the Student Council works in close cooperation with the administration. The many duties of the Student Council include the scheduling of campus activities, such as meetings, assem- blies, and weekend events; the planning of such occasions as Homecoming. Parents ' Day, and Freshman Week: the approval of the constitutions of campus organizations : the naming of student members to student-facultv com- mittees; the nomination of the May Court; and the sending of student opinions to the Administrative Council. This is the Student Councils sixteenth year. It was formed in 1941 as the successor to the Men ' s and Women ' s Councils, whose functions were similar to that of the present organizations. Student Council meets regularly twice each month. Because of the importance of the decisions to the students made in these meetings, reports of each meeting are posted in prominent positions on the campus. In addition, anv student who desires to do so may attend any regular meeting of the Student Council. The Dean of Women and the Dean of Men serve as advisers to the organization. 110 OUNCIL The Student Council is a governing body of fourteen members elected by the students to represent them in the promo- tion of a better administration-student relationship. The chosen representatives can satisfy the needs of the students and of the ad- ministration only by adhering to the de- mands made by each individual. Because of this, it is the responsibility of each stu- dent to let the member representing him know exactly what the need is. Progress is hampered when it is under the control of but a few. True democratic government comes through sharing ideas and co-operating with one another.

Serving on the council are the president of the college, four faculty representatives, and the five vice presidents of the student government organizations at the college. The council, which meets once every month, establishes the rules for the management and use of the Student Union. Suggestions from the student body for increasing the usefulness of The Hut are welcomed. To enhance the atmosphere of the Union, draperies were added during the first year and pennants from other state teachers colleges were placed on the walls. A variety of recreational facilities were also set up. This year, additional improvements have been made in The Hut, including new tables and booths, the new pie showcase, and the large advertising sign on the wall. These improvements bear witness to the constant efforts of the Student Union Council to make the Union a more enjoyable and worthwhile place for all the students. 112 DAY STUDENTS ' EXECUTIVE BOARD BOARD MEMBERS Women ' s President JOAN WILSON Women ' s Vice President MARIETTA HARRISON Men ' s President JAMES WILSON Men ' s Vice President _ PAUL MITCHELL Secretary-Treasurer FREDERICK SMITH Advisers MISS RUTH BILLINGS, MR. EDWARD STELMACK The Day Students ' Club is composed of all students not living in either of the college dormitories — those with homes in Mansfield, those boarding in town, and those driving in from nearby communities. The aims of the organization are to promote a spirit of cooperation among the day students; to give them, through an association representing them, an important voice in student government; and to encourage good will between day students and dormitory students. In pursuing these aims, the Day Students ' Club sponsors an all school picnic each year and holds an annual dance for the entire college. Special meetings of the day students are held several times during the college year. The activities of the Day Students ' Club are planned by the seventeen member Executive Board, which meets twice every month. Each member of the board tries to represent the feelings and desires of the day students at the regular meetings and to explain the policies adopted by the board to the other members of the larger organization. Originally, the men and women day students were served by two separate associations. Due to the relatively small number of day students at the college and the large area of common interests held by both organizations, it was de- cided a few years ago to merge the two into the Day Students ' club. Several amendments were made this year to the constitution and by-laws of the Day Students ' Club in an effort to improve their usefulness and efficiency. The two advisers to the organization are the Assistant Dean of Women and the Assistant Dean of Men. First row: Miss Ellamae Jackson, Margaret L.

These women are very adequately governed by the Women ' s Dormi- tory Council which consists of the president and nine members. This council, guided by Miss Jackson and Miss Billings, does a competent job of making and enforcing the rule ' s and regulations for the dormitory students.

It is the hope of the staff that this 1957 CARONTAWAN will be read with enjoyment by the students and that it will have a place in hundreds of homes for many years to come. Every year since the appearance of the first volume in 1918, the staff of the CARONTAWAN has had the task of conveying a true picture of life at Mansfield. In this centennial year, however, the CARONTAWAN has set for itself a second task. That task is to show the story of Mansfield over the course of a century: its growth and development, the contributions of many men. the ideals that it has stood for, and the prospects that it faces on the threshold of its second hundred years. Because of its unique nature as the Centennial Issue, this year ' s CARONTAWAN is larger than usual. If the readers believe that the increased size of the book reflects the success with which it has met its objectives, the staff will feel that its efforts have been more than justified.

This group presents numerous concerts on campus. While on tour, it entertains schools in other communities. One of the many annual presenta- tions of the Concert Wind Ensemble is the concert given for visiting high school students on A Day at College. Tryouts are necessary for membership in the Ensemble; however, positions are not necessarily reserved for music students. The distinguishing factor of the ensemble is its use of a minimum number of players per part. 156 MANSFIELD COMMUNITY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA The Mansfield Community Symphony Orchestra is unique among the organiza- tions on the campus, for it is the only one that includes not only students at the college, but also high school students and adults from the surrounding area. Carmen Ficocelli is director of the orchestra. Practices are held on Wednesday evenings for all members and on Tuesday afternoons for college student members. Three concerts are presented each year. The orchestra concentrates on classical and semi-classical music by both foreign and American composers of the past and the present. In its regular performances, the orchestra has presented remarkable selections from Tannhauser by Wagner and the Triumphal March from Aida by Verdi. With the completion of its eighth season, the orchestra hopes to be able to con- tinue the enrichment of musical culture in Mansfield in the coming years. • ' $ ADVANCED CHORUS The masters of song at Mansfield State Teachers College are the members of the Advanced Chorus. Upper classmen from all departments who are interested in the choral work join Mr. Eugene Jones to sing harmoniously for the school ' s enjoyment. Members have all had individual voice training. This organization provides opportunity for its members to blend their voices to- gether in a large choral effort, and to get the experience of singing classical choral music and contemporary masterpieces. This year, in several performances the Chorus presented the results of their exten- sive training. At holiday times. Thanksgiving and Christmas, they prepared appro- priate programs to compliment the speakers at Sunday evening Vesper Services. Before Easter, the Chorus sang the modern Peaceable Kingdom by Kandal Thomp- son. They also sang for assembly programs, preparing a special piece for the Religion- in-Life Week assembly. Familiarity with great music of the ages, on-the-spot observations of choral directing techniques, and a development of the individual voice in a choral environment are the advantages of the Advanced Choral program. It is an important phase of the Music Curriculum. 158 FRESHMAN CHORUS To beginning students in the Music Department, and other freshmen who love to sing, membership in the Freshman Chorus offers an ample opportunity to display their talent. Mr. Wayne Stringer directs this group. Working extensively, the Freshman Chorus members were in good singing form by Christmas when they sang at the Christmas Vesper service. In February, they served double duty by setting a musical tone to a Religion-in-Life-Week Vesper Service and later by entertaining the student body in an assembly program. Increasingly active from previous years, the members of the Freshman Chorus em- ploy their experiences in many other musical activities. Quite often the Chorus com- bines its talents with the Advanced Chorus and presents programs with the doubled- voice strength of the Combined All-College Chorus.

Vince Siracuse. has been awarded the highest honor his conference could bestow upon him. Vince was named to the first team fullback position on the All-State Teachers College Football Team. He has been one of Mansfield ' s outstanding gridders in the three years he has been here. As Mansfield ' s most consistent ground gainer, Vince ' s total offensive accounted for nearly one thousand yards over the course of the season. From scrimmage, he carried the ball 79 times for a total of 405 yards, an average of 5.2 yards per carry. Via the aerial route, the Mountaineer triple-threat passed 13 times, averaging 33 yards per try. BROCKPORT Mansfield opened its 1956 football season as Brock- port won a 14-0 thriller at Smythe Park on October 1. The first half of the game ended in a scoreless draw. The Mounts received the second half kickoff on their own twenty yard line and from there marched to the Brockford twenty. This drive was halted, however, due to mixed signals in the backfield. Brockport then took the ball and scored in seven plavs with Bergh converting. In the fourth quarter, Mansfield fumbled, and Brockport recovered the ball and carried it for the final touchdown. KINGS Mansfield celebrated its Centennial Year Homecoming Day by scoring a de- cisive 20-12 victory over Kings College. Kings did get a break when a Mansfield fumble, just before the half, resulted in Kings making the first score of the ball game. Mansfield took the second half kickoff on their own thirty yard line and pushed seventy yards for their first score. Kings took the ensuing kickoff and came right back to score again. The Mounts made their second touchdown by driving 53 yards, and went into the lead to stay. William Dewey inter- cepted a pass giving Mansfield the final score of the day. Tackling of a Kings College player results in a pile-up. 168 ■gr-yfia llM 4 DONALD KLEIN End WILLIAM PALMER Center CLOYD PRICE Quarterback IOSEPH WITOWSKI Center JOHN ZIMMERMAN Quarterback BLOOMSBURG Early in the first period of the game, Bloomsburg drove ninety-three yards for their first points and then scored twice more in the first half. The second half began just like the first, with the Huskies scoring early. In the fourth quarter, the Bloomsburg reserves went into action, making two touchdowns through a sixty-yard drive and the interception of an aerial. Mansfield then drove seventy wards against the Blooms- burg third team for their only score of the day. A pass from Bucky Price to Bucky White covered the final sixteen yards to paydirt. EAST STROUDSBURG Mansfield dropped its third decision in four games on October 22, when East Stroudsburg won a 42-13 victory over the Mountaineers. Despite the one-sided score, both clubs played well. Two quick touchdowns gave Stroudsburg an early advantage; however, Mans- field then began to push the Stroudsburg team all over the field, rocking up one touchdown and threatening with two uncompleted drives, one being halted on the two-yard line, the other on the six-yard line. After that, however, it was Stroudsburg all the way, except for a score for Mansfield by Siracuse near the end of the game. EDINBORO A Parents ' Day crowd of six hundred watched Edin- boro down Mansfield by a score of 21-7. Mansfield ran well during the first half. Vince Siracuse reeled off a forty-three yard run and followed it with an eight yard to the visitors ' one-yard line. Jack Zimmerman carried the ball over for Mansfield ' s only touchdown of the game, and Larry Biddle converted. In the second half, Edinboro drove relentlessly and twice had the ball inside the Mansfield ten-yard line. The game throughout was well played, despite the muddy condi- tion of the field. MILLERSVILLE Mansfield completely dominated the play on Novem- ber 10 defeating Millersville State Teachers College 26- 0. On only two occasions did Millersville have the ball in Mansfield territory. Only in the last minute of play did they even pose any threats when a sixty-yard pass had Millersville at the Mansfield ten as the game ended. Cloyd Price, Mansfield quarterback, completed four passes for a total of one hundred twenty-one yards and ran for fifty-six more. Vince Siracuse led the Mansfield ground attack grinding out a total of 128 yards from scrimmage. LOCK HAVEN Lock Haven and Jack Dintiman dominated the play during most of this final game, to win a 33-7 decision over Mansfield. After many sustained drives by Lock Haven, Mansfield picked up in the final quarter with freshman quarterback Tom Merlie at the helm. Two Merlie passes to Dewey and Siracuse, good for twenty-one yards, aided this drive, as did the fine running of Vince Siracuse. Vince carried the ball across from fifteen yards out and Hal Hackett converted. 169 JUNIORS W bBBHRH C. HELLER P. HVIZDZAK D. KRIEG R. LESLIE D. ROBERTS D. SABOL SOPHOMORES J. THOMAS C. WHITE E.

LYCOMING Mansfield State Teachers College opened their 1956- 57 season on December 10 with a resounding 63-53 victory over Lycoming College, making it Mansfield ' s first win over Lycoming in five years. The Mounts got off to a slow start and trailed 21-25 at halftime. A full court press was put into opera- tion in the second half and Lycoming was stopped effectively. Linkoski led the team with sixteen points, while teammates Peterson. Witowski, Lee, and Gamble each played a tremendous game. LOCK HAVEN On December 13, the most exciting game of the year, Mansfield defeated Lock Haven 80-79. The game was a thriller all the way as the two evenly matched teams battled for the lead. The victory was decided in the final seconds with a foul shot by Mike Gamble. Joe Linkoski was on the top of the scoring column with thirty points. Gamble. Witowski, and Enderle proved their ability in both scoring and excellent floor work. KINGS Mansfield suffered its first defeat at the hands of a powerful Kings College team on January 9. The Mounts grabbed an early lead but were unable to hold it throughout the final quarter. The game was decided on the foul line where the Mounts ' failure to make their shots put them on the short end of a 75-69 score. LOCK HAVEN The Mounts roared to a 56-43 victory at Lock Haven on January 12. The game was the roughest of the season and Ted Wichert and Joe Witowski used their experience to great advantage. Ted had twenty-three points to lead the Mounts to victory. The only thing that kept the game from a complete rout was Lock Haven ' s zone defense. Lee and Witowski both contributed to the Mounts attack with accurate shooting and excellent floor work. CORTLAND On January 16, Cortland STC handed the Mounts another crushing defeat, 84-57. Joe Witowski was the shining light for MSTC. His rebounding ability and the twenty-one points he scored kept the Mounts in the game. BLOOMSBURG Mansfield dropped its first conference game of the season on January 19 to Bloomsburg. Bloomsburg grabbed a sixteen- point lead in the first quarter and never slowed down. The Mounts out-scored their opponents in every quarter but the first; however, they could only cut the sixteen-point lead down to four as they lost 83-79. 172 ROCHESTER TECH Rochester Tech extended its victory string on January 21, to nine in a row at the expense of Mansfield. The Mounts were outplayed from the opening whistle and wound up on the low end of a 82-67 score. Mansfield couldn ' t get started and the play- ers seemed about one step behind the speedy Rochester team. Again Witowski held the Mounts to- gether. He was high man with fifteen points. Both Peterson and Gamble played a good game. KINGS Kings again, on January 30. proved too much for the Mounts as they won a 80- 73 victory. The Mounts were plagued by the same trouble that had proved their un- doing in the first contest with Kings: in- ability to make foul shots. Kings ' accuracy on the free throw line won the game. Big Joe Witowski led the scoring with fourteen points, followed by Don Lee and Jon Peterson. Joe Witowski (54) pushes off one of the one-handed jump shots that have put him at the top of Mansfield ' s scoring column. Joe Linkoski (53) and Gary Enderle (50) await the possible rebound. LYCOMING In the game at Lycoming on February 4, Mansfield grabbed an early lead, but Lycoming closed the gap and held a seven-point lead with three minutes to go in the game. The Mounts played their best in those three remain- ing minutes. They closed the gap to one point and with Gib Moore ' s tremendous shot from the corner, with seconds to go, the Mounts won the game, 66-65. Joe Witowski. again, was high man with twenty points, strongly supported by Lee, Peterson, and Moore. BROCKPORT On February 9, the Mansfield Mountaineers, playing on their home court, came from behind in the final five minutes to defeat Brockport 79-67. The Mounts led at the half, but a furious rally by Brockport put them behind in the final minutes. Sparked by Witowski ' s seven free throws, the Mansfield team rallied and pulled away from the visitors. Hal Hansen led the team with eighteen points, followed by Witowski and Moore. The Mounts ' court work was good throughout the game. ITHACA Ithaca College rolled to a 97-82 victory over Mansfield at Ithaca on February 13. Ithaca took an early lead and held it throughout the game. The Mounts failed to control Ithaca ' s Slonkowski who broke loose for twenty-six points. For Mans- field, Witowski and Gamble shared the scoring honors with twenty points each. Lee was the only other Mount who scored in the double figures. CORTLAND On February 16, the Mounts lost a heartbreaker to Cortland, 67-65, in overtime. Cortland had superior height, but Mansfield ' s defense checked it until the last quarter- second of overtime when a tap-in of a rebound put Cort- land in the lead. High man for the night was Joe Witowski with fifteen points, but the star of the game was Gary Enderle with fourteen points and his outstanding defensive action. Joe Linkoski (53) throws up a shot from near the basket in spite of interference from an opposing player. 173 WILLIAM PALMER JOSEPH LINKOSKI WILLIAM WITCHERT JUNIORS JOSEPH WITOWSKI G. ENDERLE P.

The cold weather of April 18. com- bined with insufficient practice, handicap- ped the Mounts and Bloomsburg ' s hits seemed to fall just where they were needed. Mansfield scored their only run in the fifth inning on hits by Zimmerman and Dewey. Bloomsburg came back with one in the sixth and four in the seventh. Williams and Warters pitched the game. One of the highlights of the game was the double-play by Farrell. Watkins. and Dewey in the sixth inning. Merle Stilwell faces the camera before facing the opposing pitcher. Merle, who graduated last year, was named Mansfield ' s outstanding athlete of 1955-56. LYCOMING On April 21. Mansfield won its first game by beating Lycoming. 11-10, in a high scoring game at Mansfield. The cold weather and a drizzle of rain hampered the teams throughout the game, but Lycoming came through with a six-run rally in the seventh inning to go out in front. The Mounts mustered four runs in their half of the inning to go ahead by one. Warters was the winning pitcher while Watkins. Farrell, and Dewey played excellent ball. CORTLAND Mansfield bowed to Cortland by a score of 6-0 on April 27. The Mounts ' defensive infield robbed the team of what appeared to be sure base hits. hitting was not up to par and Cortland ' s tight Hackett was the losing pitcher, but it was the lack of base hits that lost the game. Watkins, Farrell, and Zimmerman collected all but two of the Mounts ' six hits of the game. John O ' Donnell swings at the pitch dur- ing a practice session. The catcher is LOCK HAVEN Lock Haven ' s Mouchan proved too much the Mounts on May 5 as he replaced the starting pitcher in the second inning and allowed only three scattered hits for the rest of the game. Mansfield went down, 8-2. Mansfield got three hits and one run in the first inning; then Mouchan took over. His fourteen stike-outs frustrated Mansfield batters all during the game. Watkins, Stilwell. Zimmerman, and Dewey led the early rally for the Mounts, and Rick Warters pitched a good game, allowing only eight hits. 176 BASEBALL LOCK HAVEN Lock Haven dealt the Mounts a terrific blow in an 11-1 run-away at Lock Haven on May 9. Lock Haven started in the first inning as they piled up three runs and were held scoreless in only three of the nine innings. The Mounts were unable to score until the sixth inning when Zimmerman scored on a single by Leslie. Williams was the Mansfield pitcher with Hackett replacing him in the seventh inning. ITHACA On May 11 the power hitters of Ithaca coasted along to an easy 11-2 victory over Mansfield. Of the visitors ' ten hits, two were doubles and one was a triple. Stilwell, O ' Donnel, Zimmerman, and Dewey combined to give the Mounts their rally in the sixth inning, but Ithaca quickly got it under conttol. Siracuse got a triple in the ninth but was left on base. Hackett and Warters were the pitchers for the Mounts. Cafouc GAS P RAUGES Bill Bucholtz, Bob Keenan and Leonard Brown were the real field workers during baseball season. Here they are shown as they appeared prior to each home game. LYCOMING Home runs by Leslie and Zimmerman featured an eleven-hit Mansfield attack that resulted in the 13-7 defeat of Lycoming on May 17. The Mounts took advantage of the nine Lycoming errors to score in five separate innings. There were two double plays and Warters struck out five men as he went the entire game. ITHACA On May 21, Williams pitched a brilliant five-hitter, but errors in Mansfield ' s fielding allowed Ithaca to gain an 8-5 decision. The hitting was good with the Mounts matching Ithaca in total hits. Bob Leslie had the only extra-base blow for the Mounts — a double which drove in two runs. Ithaca ' s only big hit was a homerun in the first with one on. CORTLAND Joe Witowski and the player in the background is Vince. Hits were a dime-a-dozen as Mansfield bowed to Cortland, 15-7, on May 26. The Mounts came up with three triples while Cortland hit four three- Hackett started the game but was relieved by Warters in the third inning. Cortland used four pitchers to get the win. Zimmerman, Dewey and Leslie led the Mounts ' attack with excellent hitting, while Farrell and Stilwell ' s fielding left little to be desired. 177 WOMEN ' S SPORTS Proud of their record, the members of the champion basketball team smile happily.

There are approximately one hundred men on the ten league teams. The teams range from six to fourteen men each. Any male student of the college who has not won a letter in varsity basketball is eligible to compete in the intramural league. The teams are very evenly matched, and the games have been very close and exciting. The league standings at the present, with two weeks remaining in the season, are as follows : Teams Has Beens 4 Winners _. 4 Phi Sig 4 Irish 4 Falcons — 3 Celts 3 Day Students 2 Gladiators 1 Lions 1 Black Hawks Won Lost Percentage 1 .800 1 .800 1 .800 1 .800 2 600 2 600 3 400 4 200 5 166 5 000 180 The officials for the games are Edward Kennedy, Larry Biddle, Joe Witowski, Vince Siracuse, and Jon Peterson. Some of these intramural teams have played in the preliminary games against the Junior Varsity before each Mansfield varsity game. BOWLING There has been no intramural bowling, as yet, but almost any night when men are scheduled to bowl, one can find the alleys full. The men of the college bowl on Mon- day and Wednesday evenings, and on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. The alleys are open for both men and women on Saturday afternoons. Some of the fellows have developed in- to quite expert bowlers, and games in the high 180 ' s are not uncommon. A recreation that people can continue to enjoy throughout life, bowling is a valuable asset to the men of the college. Carl Bedell aims for the pocket while Don Johnson, Hurst Mitten, Ed Polcyn, and Buddy Kile cheer him on.
