THE CARDINAL 1940 Published by The Senior ( a s Tlattsburgb State ' oriiial School COPYRIGHT 1940 FOREWORD EACH year, the CARDINAL is published by the Senior class for the purpose of keeping alive memories of the years spent at Pittsburgh State Normal. This year we hope to make it serve the double purpose of commemorating the fifty years of service the school has given to its students, as well as being a constant reminder of the many happy days we spent here. DEDICATION WE. the class of 1940, dedicate this twenty-sixth volume of the CARDINAL to Mr. F. Osgood Smith in appreciation of his nine- teen years of service to Pittsburgh State Normal School. We will long remember his fine philosophy, which, coupled with his whimsical wit and sense of proportion, have won him a special place in our memories. REPLY TO DEDICATION To the Senior Class — While it was primitive, of course, to throw rice upon the flooded oriental fields and romantic to wait for nature to plant and mature it. the realists and technicians of today should not overlook its universally approved symbolism. Cast your bread upon the waters, said the poetic prophet, and after many days it will return unto you. When the seeds are those of genuine affection the days will be very many, often years. I gladly join you in your dedication which offers the com- munion of requited confidence which is. indeed, the staff of life. Miss Rlth A. Woodward Class Adviser APPRECIATION TO Miss Ruth A. Woodward THE task of guiding youth through a critical stage of development is. at its best, not an easy one. We have been indeed fortunate in having as our guide one who has fulfilled her task with both efficiency and wisdom. Her clear under- standing of youth, together with her calm sense of judgment, have made her an indispensable factor in any success our class may have achieved. Dr. A. G. Peterson Director of Training APPRECIATION TO Dr. A. G. Peterson One of the cornerstones of a teacher-training institution is its director of train- ing. We wish to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to one who has served us so well. CONTENTS Book I: Administration Book II: Classes Book III: Activities Book IV: Fiftieth Anniversary ADMINISTRATION THE year 1940 marks the completion of fifty years of service on the part of the Plattsburgh State Normal School. It is fitting that the CARDINAL should commemorate, at this half century milestone, the heritage, the traditions and the realized aspirations of those who have builded before us. During the lifetime of the school, students and alumni have observed and participated in the profound changes which have occurred in American life. They have seen America transform itself from a society predominantly agricultural to the greatest industrial nation of all times. They have contributed to the creation of a unified nation whose crucible has molded a new world from all the races of the earth. Through all of this change they have helped to preserve, often amid impending chaos, the constitutional guarantee of opportunity and freedom within the law. No school can live apart from the people whom it serves, and it is a part of our heritage that the founders, the students, alumni and faculty have held steadfast to the trust imposed upon them to serve all of the people. Our school is a school of the people, established through their legislature and preserved by its guarantee. It is an expression of the belief of our citizens that only through free schools and the preparation of teachers by the state for these schools can our democracy endure. Our love and pride in our Alma Mater comes from our realization that from our halls have gone men and women worthy of the high trust placed in them as leaders and builders of a great nation. No one could know our present student groups without sensing that all is well with our heritage and our future. Selected as they arc this year from forty-one counties in our State, they represent the heart, the intelligence and the character that is America. Living in a world so much of which is nearer chaos than at any period during this half century, we face our future unafraid, firm in the belief that upon the foundation which has been so securely laid, we shall build even better toward the greater America of tomorrow Charli-s C.

LEWIS Miss Woodward Doctor Redcay The House of Delegates, composed of representatives from each school organi- zation, is the clearing house for problems which arise in the student body. This year is the first year that it has operated under a written constitution. An assem- bly forum was held as a special attempt to give all of the students an opportuniiv to voice their opinions on school problems. The House cooperated with the Supper Club in making the second All-School Supper one of the outstanding events of the year. A major accomplishment was the sponsoring o f a handbook which is to be published during the summer and distributed as a guide for entering students.

( 31 ) SENIOR CLASS SONG Normal dear, wc come to thee to learn; For thy strength and guidance we all yearn. Guide, oh guide us on to heights unknown. May our lights as brightly shine as thine have shone. Keep us calm throughout the changing years: Help us conquer evils, banish fears: And throughout life may thy treasured thoughts Help us teach to others lessons thou hast taught. CHORUS Hail to thee our Alma Mater; Love and loyalty we bring. Seniors honor thee forever. And thy praises may we always sing. As wc Seniors move to higher lines. Joy and gladness fill our hearts and minds. Make us strong to face the coming year That we may do honor to thee. Normal dear. Singing as we travel on our way, May we cherish thee from day to day. Telling others of thy loving care. Of thy wondrous power and thy beauty rare. ( 32 ) SENIOR CLASS HISTORY IT was three short years ago that we entered Pittsburgh State Normal School as freshmen, a little hesitant — but eager for what the year would bring. We organized with the help of Dean Alice K. Lewis and the following officers: President. Vincent Stanger; Vice-President. Leah Pratt: Secretary. Mary Alice Nolan: Treasurer, William Morhous. Our outstanding accomplishment of the year was the Freshman Mid-year Ball, which was worth all the effort expended upon it. In September. 1 9 8. we carried on the most extensive Freshman Welcoming program which had yet been attempted. The class was reorganized under the following officers: President. William Morhous: Vice President. Marie Jabaut . Secretary. Betty Kavanagh: Treasurer, Maurice Camp. Miss Woodward was chosen as our class adviser. A happy year sped quickly by--highlighted by a successful assembly program and a delightful Junior Prom. Our senior year has been a happy, busy year for all of us. Before the close of our junior year, class elections were held. The only change was the election of Mary Feltman as Vice-President. Cadet work and practice teaching have proved valuable and enjoyable. The publication of the CARDINAL has been our greatest undertaking this year. Plans are now underway for Commence- ment Week, and those events which will mark our last activities as the Class of 1940. As the last of the three- year elementary classes, our graduation marks the close of a period: it is a milestone in the development of the school. We have a deep feeling of regret at parting with our Home Economics seniors, who have been an integral part of us for three years: we wish them success as the first Home Economics graduates of Plattsburgh State Normal School. In passing, we wish to thank both teachers and classmates who have helped to make our stay at Normal the happy one it has been. ( 33 ) JANE R. AMES PLATTBURGH, N. Y.

In October of 1939 the Board of Regents passed a further decree granting degrees to graduates of this course. The first class entered in September of 1937. During the first three years it was organized with the present Senior Class, and cooperated with them in all class activities. This spring it held meetings to organize for next year. This class will be the first to graduate from the new department, and it is our hope that we can prove ourselves worthy of the trust that has been put in us. ( 56 ) HOME ECONOMICS JUNIORS Allen.

The Sophomore Guidance Committee held court regularly to try the law-breaking freshmen. Our class hopes that by initiating freshmen we have established a precedent which will eventually become a tradition of the school. Dande- lion picking and cleaning the walks on the campus were a unique and interest- ing feature of the initiation period. After guiding the freshmen through thick and thin. we turned our attention to our gala event, the Sophomore Soiree, which was the first big dance of the year. It was also the first sophomore dance ever given in the school. Our efforts at using simple, inexpensive decorations were more than rewarded when we saw the gymnasium transformed into an outdoor autumn scene — a hunter ' s haven. Another year has passed, and we. the members of the sophomore class, have reached the half-way mark in our professional training. It should be our aim to continue our work when we become juniors with the same cooperative spirit we have shown during our first two years as under classmen. ( 60 ) STANDING GOLDEN. JACKSTADT. DR.

This is the class of reporting for inspection In case you have not followed them closely through the year, this will be an excellent chance to acquaint yourself with their affairs. They entered this institution somewhat green, but with a fine spirit of sportsmanship and cooperation. Pulling through the first ten weeks of red and white caps, ties and armbands, and various other freshman initiation stunts. they came to a victorious climax by winning from the sophomores the tug-o - war across the school pond. Following this, the class was organized and officers elected. Successfully through mid- years. they proceeded to saturate themselves with an under-sea theme for the Mid-Winter Freshman Hop and worked dili- gently until the coral reefs, sea- weed and decorative fish were in place. An over- heard conversation between the adviser and a group of students the following morning disclosed the general opinion that a wonderful time was had by all. In May. the class completed its activities by presenting a musical assembly program. The boys ' quartet lived up to its reputation by again scoring a hit with the students and faculty.

A review of the social calendar of the sorority for the past year shows the following high-lights: Our first social get-together was an alumna supper in the cafeteria. This was followed by a Reversia party which officially opened the rush season. Closing the season thirty-one girls were pledged Alpha Kappa Phi at a formal dinner-dance held in the Cumberland Hotel. Spring brought forth the annual assembly program. March 21. a dramatization of that unforgettable story Hansel and Gretel. At the farewell banquet many a heart was saddened at the thought of leaving that which was held so dear in the memory of many. No mailer lo what parts of the earth we may go. we will always be bound together by that spirit of fellowship, loyalty and cooperation which is so characteristic of Alpha Kappa Phi.

Our assembly program entitled Living Poetry was presented the following month. Our rush season opened with a Farmers ' Social and closed with the Interfraternity dance. On February 24 we pledged twenty new members at a formal dinner- dance at the Cumberland Hotel. The Alpha Delta Sorority joined us for the dance. The pledgees were initiated March 7 following a dinner given in their honor. Now we must bid farewell to our departing seniors to whom we wish the best of luck and success in the future.

ROBINSON ALPHA DELTA ITheta Chapter I THIS year has been a very busy and happy one for the members of the Alpha Delta Sorority. We are looking forward to future activities with our fifteen new members. We began the year with a Hobo Rush Party, entertaining our guests with games, square dancing, and refreshments which were served hobo style. The evening was gaily brought to a close with a hayride. Immediately following the Christmas vacation we sponsored an original assembly program. We took as our theme A Reverie. and with the help of our adviser. Miss Berg, wrote the play during our meetings. In February we entertained our pledgees with a banquet at the Witherill Hotel. The banquet was followed by a dance in the Cumberland Hotel. During the next two weeks we initiated the girls, and finally in April we gave them full membership. On the week-end beginning May 10. we plan to entertain at Pittsburgh two delegates from the chapters of Alpha Delta from each of the normal schools. The year will close with the Senior Farewell Banquet in June. ( 78 ) THIRD ROW — MAHONEY. MITCHELL. SULLIVAN. JACKSTADT. GROVER. CAMP. FRAZIER. CRAIGIE SECOND ROW — MR. STREET. STRACK. KING. MANOR.

It is the purpose of this club to produce better teachers by giving its members an opportunity to acquaint themselves with rural problems, and by giving them new ideas, which they, as teachers, can carry out in their work. A second func- tion of the club is that of providing a society in which all may participate for mutual enjoyment. The Rural Club sponsors the first tea dance of the year as a part of the activities of Freshman Week. The meetings of this club are held on the second Thursday of each month, and each is a combined social and business meeting. At these meetings we are privileged to hear first-hand information from those who arc directly connected with rural work. These talks arc followed by refreshments and by games which can be used in rural schools. ( 87 ) FOURTH ROW — GOLDEN. MISS BACKUS. HUFFER. GRANT. RITCHIE. MITCHELL. ALLARD. GROVER THIRD ROW — KUHN.

MATTHEWS BOOK CLUB OFFICERS President GERALDINE HOLLISTER Secretary-Treasurer BESSIE COMSTOCK Adviser MISS HOXIE THE Book Club tries to produce an interest in good reading, especially current literature. To do so, at each meeting of the club, we have given book reports or read book reviews. This has stimulated the interest of the members of the club enough to cause them to read many of the books discussed. In order to arouse interest outside the club, we have had exhibitions of books in the library. The one for Book Week in November was. without doubt, the most successful. The Book Club is introducing the Omnibook to the library. This is a new type of magazine, each copy of which consists of five abridgments of the current best sellers. ( 89 ) STANDING — DAVIS. DAILY.

Through this activity the club tries to encourage students to do experimental writing of various types and to publish a magazine which will be of interest to the student body. This year the club has tried especially to feature poetry and short stories in The Tower.

Lewis THE Rock-Crackers Club, the first organization of its kind in the history of the school, was organized this year by an enthusiastic group of Home Economics and Elementary students, interested in exploring the field of geology. One of the major purposes of the club is to provide opportunities for its members to learn and interpret the meaning of various rock formations in the vicinity of Plattsburgh and the outlying districts. Another objective of the club is to make a collection of rocks, minerals, and fossils from this and other localities. Some of the activities of the Rock-Crackers consisted of a sewing bee to make specimen bags, an informal afternoon tea. field trips to Chazy Landing, the Sheridan Iron Works. Champlain. N. Y.. and White Face Mountain. The excursion which was most valuable, both in acquiring scientific knowl- edge as well as in enjoyment, was the motor trip to Chazy Landing. Here the amateur geologists examined pebbles and boulders washed up by the waves along the shores of Lake Champlain. Six-pound sledge hammers were wielded by the members with dubious skill. The discovery of a variety of fossils espe- cially common in the limestone of the vicinity was the most interesting event of the day. ( 91 ) THIRD ROW CHAUV1N. LATVIS. KIMBALL. C.ROVER. JACKSTADT.

The Men s Club has had a full and enjoyable year of activity and coopera- tion. We feel that a closer and more friendly relationship is brought about between the faculty and the young men of the school by the club. ( 92 ) STANDING — B. JONES. D. JONES. JACK. STADEL. MORAN.

Food service and purchase, experimental foods made of inexpensive materials, and novelty foods were generally the topic of discussion. Last year the Supper Club was the generating force that introduced the idea of an All-School Supper. The idea was so enthusiastically received and executed that the school decided to continue the pleasurable experience. This year, with the entire faculty and student bodies assisting, the All-School Supper was again a decided success. We hope that these good beginnings make strong themselves by more good and that the Supper Club will continue to flourish. ( 93 ) ART CLUB OFFICERS President . Secretary . Treasurer Adviser Doris Eldred huldah bloodgood Madeline Fisher -Charles w. Brown THE principal aim of the Art Club is to promote an interest in and an appre- ciation of art. Tie dyeing was one of the most interesting activities carried on by the club members and many of the students of the Art Department. In February, the Art Club presented a Leap Year tea dance for the faculty members and the students of the Normal School. At the end of the year, the members of the club made a trip to Montreal to study the art of this picturesque city. ( 94 ) THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT UNDER the direction of Mr. Lyndon R. Street, our Music Department has enjoyed a very successful year. One hundred and fifty students, approximately fifty percent of the entire student body, have participated in cultivating and promoting artistic group singing and playing. The music organizations include: The Orchestra, the Brass Quartet, the Wood-wind Quartet, the Mixed Chorus, the Girls Glee Club, the Men s Glee Club, the Ladies ' Octette, the Male Quartet. Special assembly programs were presented by the groups on November 16. January 18. and March 7. The Music Department sponsors the annual Music Supervisors ' Visitation Day. and the observance of National Music Week at Pittsburgh. The Orchestra and Male Quartet furnished the music for the County Teachers Spring Con- ference on May 10. Other annual activities in which the Department of Music participates are the Christmas Candlelight Service, the Kiwanis-Rotary luncheon, the Montreal broadcast, the Lake Placid Festival, and Commencement Week. The music organizations, offering opportunity for wide student participation, have had remarkable growth at Plattsburgh Normal, and contribute significantly to musical education and enjoyment on the campus.

Softly sing the birds at eventide. As twilight shadows fall. Faintly comes the sound of distant bells — A hush then over all. Slowly rise the clouds of silver ' d mists And zephyrs murmur low. While o ' er the world there seems to come A peace that we would know. Strangely calm this hour of memories That brings back yesteryear. Lightly rest the cares of weary hours And gone is ev ' ry fear. Gently sink all things to sweet repose. As ends all work and play. And so we pray for peaceful sleep ' Til dawns another day.

MITCHELL A THE ORCHESTRA THE Orchestra is an organization which affords its members much enjoyment and an excellent opportunity to become acquainted with classical and semi- classical music. This year membership has increased and instrumentation has been more varied. Among the activities in which the Orchestra has taken part this year are a concert assembly for the Normal School students, another for Music Supervisors ' Visitation Day. and the spring trips to nearby towns. These, perhaps, were the most popular of all activities from the students ' point of view. The Orchestra plays for the County Teachers Annual Spring Conference, and also during Music Week. In May it takes part in the Music Festival held at Lake Placid. The Orchestra also plays for the Baccalaureate Service. Moving-Up Day. and Commencement Exercises.

The fourteenth observance of National Music Week at Plattsburgh was. perhaps, the largest and best Music Festival that has ever been held in Northern- Northeastern New York. More than thirty-five different communities were represented. Over sixty different musical organizations, totaling approximately 3.500 singers and players appeared on various programs during the week. High standards of musical proficiency were outstanding in the annual observ- ance of National Music Week in Plattsburgh. It is to be expected that the good work done in promoting this year ' s Festival will be continued and extended next year and for years to come. THE PROGRAM Friday.

S. squad, the basketball enthusiasts of Pittsburgh were provided with plenty of closely matched and exciting intercollegiate games. The l9}9-40 basketball season was. from the viewpoint of student interest, the most successful Plattsburgh Normal School has ever seen. Although the team won fewer games than anticipated, the games were so closely contested that interest never lagged. The sportsmanship shown by our men. winning cr losing, was a credit to the school.

Some of the highlights of the summer were: a trip to Ausable Chasm where Dr. Forrest Ray Moulton. Permanent Secretary of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, was honored at a banquet: a jaunt to the Hagar Camp with its beautiful White Pine Forest: a visit to the Chazy Orchards: an all night observation of the stars and planets from the top of Whiteface Mountain: a tour of inspection through the laboratories of Dr. Trudeau and the Memorial Hospital at Saranac Lake: a three-day trip to Ottawa and the Thousand Islands: and a three-day literary-science trip in New England. Some of the interesting places visited on the New England trip were: Kipling ' s Home, Old Wayside Inn. Longfellow ' s Home, Polar Caves, Daniel Webster ' s birthplace, and Astronomical Observatory of Harvard University at Oak Ridge. Pages would be required to tell of the value and inspiration of these few summer weeks. ( 112 ) ( 113 ) 1890-1940 FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY (114) 1890-1940 ( 115 ) 1890-1940 3n Jtlemoriam DR. HAWKINS It has been said that we do not realize the value of a friend until we have lost him. This may be true in some instances, but not in the case of Dr. Hawkins. To him we owe a great deal. His efforts have given us an ideal in education; and his perseverance, strength of character, and wisdom have given us an ideal in character toward which we may always strive. Dr. Hawkins, friend and guide, we salute you once more! ( 116 ) 3n iUemoriam HONORABLE WALLACE E. PIERCE With the death of the Honorable Wallace E. Pierce. Pittsburgh State Normal School lost a valuable friend. Few men have worked as tirelessly and conscientiously as did he in the interests of the school. A graduate of the school himself, a former teacher, and at the time of his death President of the Board of Visitors, he had an understanding of the needs of the institution and the problems of the student body that few men acquire. His passing is an irreparable loss, not only to Pittsburgh State Normal School, but also to all of New York State. ( 117 ) TRIBUTE TO DECEASED MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY The years they come and go. the races drop in the grave, but never the love doth so. These words Robert Browning wrote yearly as in the annual cycle there came again that day on which he had lost Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Thoughts like this have come to many of us as we look back over the years of our Alma Mater and its pleasant memories. Among the fondest of these arc the many hours of happy companionship and gen- erous guidance given by faculty members, many of whom have passed on. their work complete. Theirs is an everlasting example which will stay with us per omnia saecula. and the admiration and appre- ciation of their labor will remain forever deep in the pyx of our hearts.

( 119 ) THE OLD BUILDING The first building which housed the Pittsburgh State Normal School was erected during 1889 and 1890. It stood at the head of Court Street on a gentle rise overlooking the city. It was a large brick building with ivy-covered walls, graceful arches, and a tall tower which soon became the symbol by which the school was known throughout the state. The building was located in the center of a fifteen-acre campus. The same trees that shade our campus today were planted along the original curving gravel walks. The same artificial pond which we now enjoy was planned by a professional landscape artist at the time the old school was built, and has reflected the faces of several generations of students and training school pupils. The building was equipped with all the modern educational facilities of the time, giving adequate opportunity for its varied social, academic and professional activities. The school had its own print shop, which during the early years published the year book and various literary magazines. This school stood as a friendly guardian to the entire city for more than forty years, and all those who knew it felt a personal loss at its destruction. ( 122 THE NEW BUILDING The new building stands on the site of the old one. Its architecture is modified Gothic, with gabled roofs and stately towers. The building is surrounded by spacious green lawns, tall spreading trees, and low shrubbery. The ivy vines planted by each graduating class give the new brick walls some feeling of age and permanence. At the left of the building, reflecting the trees, gables, and sky, and fed by a fountain, is our pond. In the rear of the building are found tennis courts and ball fields. Two well-planned indoor courts contain many biological specimens. Inside the school one finds each room carefully planned and equipped. The auditorium has a specially lighted stage, projection room, and a beautiful organ. The science, crafts, art, and manual training rooms contain modern equipment. The Home Economics laboratories include living and dining units, a foods laboratory, and two clothing rooms. The kindergarten, cafeteria, music room, and libraries are considered model. The gymnasiums contain equipment for tennis, badminton, volleyball, shuffleboard. basketball, deck tennis, table tennis, archery, and other sports. Both inside and out. the present building is a fine example of modern trends in the education of teachers. We are proud to attend it. and honor it. ( 125 ) 1890-1940 BEGINNINGS Plattsburgh, the youngest of the now existing Normal Schools, was authorized by an act of legislature introduced by the Hon. Stephen Moffitt in the spring of 1 889. In June of the same year, the act became a law and an appropriation of sixty thousand dollars was granted for construction of the school. The building was erected during 1889 and 1890 on a site of fifteen acres at the head of Court Street. On September third. 1890. the new school opened with an attendance of approximately one hundred students. Fox Holden. superintendent of the Plattsburgh village schools, was appointed the first principal, and a faculty of twelve was chosen. The course offered was a two-year training course for the training of elementary teachers. This course remained until 1922. when it was changed to a three-year course by the State Legislature. With the resignation of Fox Holden in 1892, Edward N. Jones, superintendent of schools at Saratoga Springs, became principal. In 1895, it was found necessary to enlarge the building by adding a south wing. The following year a kindergarten was organized, and a kindergarten-primary course added to the curriculum. In 1898. Dr. Jones resigned and was succeeded by Dr. George K. Hawkins, a member of the original Normal School faculty. ( 124 ) ( 125 ) £5(1 1890-1940 DESTRUCTION In 1910. authority was given to Pittsburgh to train commercial teachers for the high schools of the state. For the next twenty years it was one of the chief sources of supply for commercial teachers in the East and won nationwide recognition. Commercial teachers, trained at Plattsburgh. have an enviable reputation, and today most of the members of the Plattsburgh Alumni Association in the New York City district arc graduates of the commercial department. Miss Elizabeth Ketchum. a member of the former commercial faculty, is now a member of the education staff of the present Normal School faculty. William G. Thompson, former head of the commercial department, died only a short while ago. in March. 1940. Disaster struck on January 26. 1929. The building, with all its contents, was completely destroyed by fire. The devastation was complete — nothing was saved. The fire, st arting in the boiler room, quickly spread its way through the building, and within half an hour complete havoc had been wrought. Fortunately, since it happened on Saturday, the building was unoccupied except for three or four students and one teacher, who were forced to jump to safety. However, the spirit of Plattsburgh could not be destroyed. Plans were immediately begun for rehabilitation, and those who saw the work of many years reduced to ashes turned to face the problem of recon- struction. ( 126 ) r 1890-1940 RECONSTRUCTION Immediately after the fire the entire city sprang into action, and the mayor offered every available space to the Normal School group. The City Hall was made headquarters, with the offices and classes located there. Training school pupils were accommodated in the other grade schools, the old high school, and even in church parlors. The Normal continued under these condition for the rest of the year, and until the new building was completed. The construction of this new school was begun in 1930 and com- pleted in 1932. at a cost of slightly over a million dollars. At this time the commercial department was moved to Albany State Teachers College. In September the faculty and students moved into the building from their temporary quarters in the City Hall. Although the interior of the building was not entirely completed, the students were overjoyed to have a school they could consider their own once more, and cheerfully tolerated unplastered walls, the smell of fresh paint, and the dust of lumber and floor-sanding equipment. After one year in the new building. Dr. Hawkins, having served as principal for thirty-five years, the last few of which had proved a very great strain, retired, thus closing another era in the history of the school. ( 127 ( 128 ) 1890-1940 THE PRESENT Upon the retirement of Dr. Hawkins, and upon recommendation of the local Board of Visitors, the State Commissioner of Education and the Board of Regents appointed Dr. Charles C. Ward to the principalship of Pittsburgh. Dr. Ward ' s first years were concerned largely with completing many inci- dentals of construction within the building. Classes were constantly moving from one room to another while classrooms were being plastered, painted, and furnished. Special equipment had to be installed, and until this was done students used such makeshift equipment as faculty and students could contrive. The grounds were being graded, walks were being laid, and trees and shrubbery In October of 1933 the first important ceremony of the new era took place. Dr. Frank P. Graves. State Commissioner of Education, officiated in the dedica- tion of the new building. In September. 1937. a Home Economics Department was established, and in October. 19 39. the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York granted to students, upon completion of the required four-year curriculum, the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education. For several years the state has needed more teachers of home economics than its approved teacher training departments have been able to prepare. This course at Plattsburgh has been developed to meet this growing demand. In September. 1938. the Board of Regents changed the Elementary Course in New York State Normal Schools from a three-year to a four-year course. It is expected that within a short time a degree will be granted to all students who complete this required four-year course for elementary teaching. Today Plattsburgh State Normal School is a living, growing institution, which has weathered its storms and come through them successfully. It stands as a symbol of strength and courage to the active, confident students who atte nd it now. and to those alumni who return to assist in this celebration of its fifty years of existence. planted. i no i ( 131 ) THE PLATTSBURGH ALUMNI ASSOCIATION When with the ever-circling years Comes round the age of gold. — SEARS.

Young ' 26 President -.Vice-President Secretary Treasurer The first graduating class of Pittsburgh State Normal School. 1891, con- sisted of three people, two of whom arc still living. In June. 1940, 2.987 graduates will have received licenses to teach in New York State. In June, 1892. the graduates of the first and second classes met to form the Plattsburgh State Normal School Alumni Association. The following officers were elected: Each year from that date to the present time, the Association bids its mem- bers return once a year to their Alma Mater. For many years this reunion was held during the Commencement Week, but recently this date has been changed to July. The summer meeting seems to suit better the conveniences of many graduates who are teaching in high schools. As the classes increased in numbers and settled in places distant from Platts- burgh. three branches of the Parent Association were formed — one at Rochester, New York, another at Burlington. Vermont, and the largest at New York City. The Metropolitan branch, numbering over five hundred, holds its annual meeting the second Saturday in May at New York City. After passing the milestone of fifty years, it may be the proper time to evaluate the usefulness of the Alumni Association to the school. In a material way the Association has contributed more than fifty percent of the purchase price of the Hammond organ which has been installed in the auditorium; it has donated S600 to the Student Loan Fund, and its dues have helped perpetuate the memory of George Hudson in the form of a granite boulder with a bronze plaque on the campus. To try to evaluate the immeasurable factor of enthusiasm, cooperation and faithfulness which the Association has fostered would be a fruitless task. It has been invaluable in keeping the Plattsburgh Spirit ' ' — that spirit which has been displayed on so many occasions when the school has needed assistance.

Dr. George Knight Hawkins. In the passing of Doctor Hawkins the members of Plattsburgh State Normal School Alumni Association feel deeply bereft, for we enjoyed his wise direction and delightful inspiration. Whereas, Doctor Hawkins, beloved educator of the North Country, who. by his administrative leadership, executive skill, and unfailing perseverance, together with his devotion in behalf of the students, shed only such helpfulness as sends one singing to his tasks. To those who have come under this influence, the members of the Plattsburgh State Normal School Alumni Association express deepest sympathy. Whereas, the members of the Plattsburgh State Normal School Alumni Association do honor to the memory of a friend and counselor whose dignity, kindliness, graceful bearing, and reserved manner that bespoke great strength lent great distinction to the institution he loved so well. These characteristics inspired us and we found them worthy of admiration and imitation, and we hereby express our appreciation of such lasting influence. Be it therefore resolved, that at the annual meeting and midsummer luncheon of the Plattsburgh State Normal School Alumni Association these minutes be read in recognition of the passing of a revered and esteemed friend. It may be said that we have all died a little in his passing: yet Death is the warden and not the thief of our treasures. His work will carry on — it is being carried on in the new school. Doctor Hawkins ' words to us may well have been the very words of the old shepherd in Wordsworth ' s poem Michael — words of great strength and fidelity which are — Lay now the cornerstone as I requested — Now. fare thee well — When thou return ' s! thou in this place will sec A work which is not here: a covenant Twill be between us: but, whatever fate Befall thee. I shall love thee to the last And bear thy memory with me to the grave. Noiv. therefore, be it further resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be forwarded with our sincerest sympathy to the members of his family. Minnif. L. Stoughtcn. President. Agnes F.
