Under The Greenwood Tree XXfhen the curtain falls, we, the class of 1934 exeunt, we hope we shall have completed our act in this great drama successfully. We shall leave the stage with thanks in our hearts for our gracious teachers, who have prompted us along the way when otherwise we should have stumbled and fallen. We ask you to accept this, the highest honor in our power to give you, the dedication of the 1934 Greenwood Annual. At times we may have missed our entrance cue, and perhaps we do stumble from the stage prematurely, but to you, Faculty, and to our enjoyable and profitable associations, we dedicate this, our Annual of 1934, Under the Greenwood Tree. You have played with us under the tree, you have quelled our little battles for years, for some of us the greater part of our lives. We are just a few of the many you have started along to greater acting. Some of them have advanced, some of them have falteredg but we shall work to make you proud to claim us as your one-time proteges. Our training for our act has been lengthy. It began thirteen years ago. We lost a player, but gained one here and there along the way. After rehearsing for two and one-half years in the Administration Building, improvements were made, and we received, as our reward for faithful work, a theater all our own. With joy in our hearts, we transferred our properties to our present theater, Greenwood. Eleven and one-half years have passed since then, and our great act is nearly ready to present. We look back upon our years of training. Numerous producers have rehearsed us along the way, some of them are vivid in our memories, some of them we do not remember. Perhaps we cannot call each one by name, we do not recall his personal appearance, but that is of little importance, each did his part, each left the stamp of his personality upon our acting. As we pause before our entrance, we scan the program, our eyes fall upon the cast. We are proud of that cast, thirty members, fourteen of whom re- ported that September day in 1922, and have toiled away together for these many years. Our cast is a strong and a happy cast, each actor has shared his burden, each actor has divided the glory-a great company of troupers. May our play be a success! The years have passed, and as more years intervene, the memories will become dimmer, so we give you this Annual to serve as a reminder of our days spent under the tree. To the Annual Staff and Faculty members who have cooperated to make this Annual possible, we wish to take this opportunity to thank you for your time and talent, and to congratulate you upon your success. Your ability is verified by this volume, and the class of 1934 is proud to receive credit for this section of the iOzarko, Under the Greenwood Tree. --EUNICE STONE rm 1

The Elementary School of Greenwood In the hustle and bustle of the S. T. C. campus, one can spend but a few moments before something of Greenwood's Grade School is heard. We wanted to know of the projects developed in the elementary school of which we had heard so much. We went to Mr. M. A. O'Rear, the director of the Training School. He explained that Greenwood is little different from other schools, in that the pupils are taught the customary 3 R's, but these are accompanied by other activities which serve to stimulate the interest of the children in their work. He suggested that we see some of the projects for ourselves. We first visited the Kindergarten. Miss Dora Hennicke, the supervisor, told us that their work centered about the home. They outfitted a life-sized play house with crate furniture. The class was taken on a number of trips among which was an excursion through a Pullman car. Miss Hinton informed us that her class, the first grade, had built a train, in which they could actually ride, from crates and a keg. They used it in a play which centered around a train trip. Every type of their regular school work was furnished by the project. Miss Esther Hennicke showed us about the room of the second grade in which are found an art gallery, a post oiiice, and a store. The pupils had studied primitive man, and had painted characters of their studies on panels which extended the length of the room. The post office and store were pat- terned and managed after the plans of the public concerns. Miss Highfill, instructor of the third grade, told us of the work of her grade, which centered about the Indians, the Eskimos, and the Hebrews. The children visited a dairy farm and a creamery in connection with the study of the Hebrews. They presented a play as a fitting climax to their studies. Grade four, we were told by Miss Eva Allen, the teacher, made a memory book of samples of their work. The largest project was the study of Egypt. They wrote and presented a play. They painted their own scenery, and after we had seen the artistic work, our only regret was that we did not see the play. We found the fifth grade at work with brushes, painting pictures in the most delicate of pastel tints. Miss Rutledge, the supervisor, said that they had written a fairy tale, and that they were illustrating it. When the pictures were finished, the pupils bound the volume themselves. In the sixth grade, we found the most interesting project of Mrs. Bragg's class to be the editing of the Pee Wee Standard, which was fashioned after the Southwest Standard. The writing was done by the students themselves, and the work of those little journalists would be valuable to any paper. The projects of the classes were so numerous that we could not begin to tell all that was showed to us, but we hope that you can gather from this short account. what many interesting things happen within the four walls of Green- wood. l26l
