The year 1955-56 gave A. C. E. the largest enroll- ment in its history. Children Need Adults was the theme selected for the year ' s professional programs. Educators, rep- resentative groups of parents, and members from the community hove helped to present the theme in an interesting and highly successful manner. Marjorie Wallace has been president of the organ- ization for this year. Social activities, with Connie Cutler as chairman, have been varied and enjoyable. In September there was a coke party for prospective members. A dinner honoring Dr. Laura Zirbes was observed in October. There were also the Homecoming luncheon, a Valen- tine party, the Christmas party, a spring formal dinner, and the Senior breakfast. In February, as a special project for the children, A. C. E. presented Peter Rabbit, a three act oper- etta. Two performances were given in order to accom- modate all children in the community. Though no small amount of preparation was necessary, the proj- ect proved to be as much fun for the members as for the children. Lost spring the green and white Bearcat bus took many of the members to the national A. C. E. meeting in Kansas City. It was a real thrill to see and hear so many of the celebrities in the field of Elementary Edu- cation. In April of this year, Barbara Nixon was for- tunate in being able to represent the branch at the national meeting in Washington, D. C. Many of the members also attended the state meeting in Cape Girardeau in May. Page 96

From the beginning of school there loomed the inevitable Homecoming. With Dick Smith handling the details, the Aggies ' float was completed and placed third in the humorous division of the parade. As in previous years, coffee was served to Aggie alumni at the form shop, where the opportunity to visit with such men as Marian Tiemann and Maurice Nelson was enjoyable indeed. With such men in the ranks as Byron Cooper, Mau- rice Johnson, and Don Blackford, things did not quiet down much after Homecoming, since the calendar kept moving towards the annual Barnwarming. According to the traditional method of distributing invitations, the club members with Raymond Butt as master of ceremonies, assembled at the residence of their various dates. Upon the inevitable failure to answer a simple question put forth by the emcee, each girl was given the alternative of kissing either her date or the mascot, a Corriedoie ram. One of the biggest highlights of the Aggies ' year is always the spring livestock judging award banquet. In 1955, Harold Baker won the much sought after Golden Bull, thus proving his superiority as a judge. The evening was topped off by a message delivered by the popular speaker and research scientist. Dr. Wise Burroughs, from Iowa State College. In the spring of 1955, the Aggies ' judging team, composed of Maurice Nelson, Don Shomberger, John Harvey, Harold Baker, and Glen Dukes, with George Lockridge, Gene Mitchell, and Ted Reed serving as alternates, participated in the Junior division of the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Livestock Judging Contest.

The club ' s activities for the year began with a get-acquainted party for freshmen and old mem- bers on September 14th. Games were played, and old members related summer experiences. Probably the most enjoyed was Mary Rolf ' s report on her sum- mer school attendance at the University of Colorado. The next meeting was utilized in getting every- one ' s ideas for the use of the program committee in formulating the year book. The club selected the theme We Look Forward To Teaching. The ap- pointment of committees for Homecoming and the annual decision with regard to which activities would demand the club ' s time were also dispatched. An entry was registered in the window decoration con- test. Bev Crane ' s idea, Secret of the Shifting, Whispering Sands, ignited a spark of enthusiasm, and was accepted unanimously. Miss Gorsuch and Mrs. Graham were in charge Page of the first theme meeting, Off To A Good Start. The club made and sold candy at the District Teachers Meeting in October. In November the group was a guest of F.T.A. and enjoyed slides on Japan, Alaska, and Hawaii. The Christmas meeting was both a party and a candle light initiation ceremony for new members. Two educational films about past and present teaching methods were enjoyed by the group early in January. The club combined with A.C.E. and F.T.A. to hear an inspirational talk by Mrs. Easton during Religious Emphasis Week. One of the most memorable pro- grams was Teresa Esteban ' s talk about schools and life in Argentina. Shades of green were in evidence at the Student Union to celebrate the St. Patrick ' s day party. The spring picnic, May 9, at Roadside Park, was the concluding event on the calendar. 97 mm
