COUNTY NORMAL During the first semester, the County Normals were concerned with learning techniques and problems of teaching. Observing classes was also an ‘essential part of the program and much was gained by watching children in the actual process of learning. Making charts and flash cards, and completing various types of art work such as cards and cover design, were other important phases of work.

Still other activities enjoyed by the students were folk dances ‘and games they learned, which will supply recreation for their own students next fall. The ‘second semester saw actual practice teaching begun, and even though the student teachers felt anything but poised and confident on their first day of teaching, they soon became capable teachers, gaining the ability to handle some difficult situations. Because of the large number of students classes were arranged in unusual places, and any time of morning found student teachers surrounded by their pupils in any part of the building.

WOMEN’S LEAGUE This year, as in years past, the Women’s League was one of the most active organizations in Junior College. The executive council, the body which consists of the officers and committee chairmen, met at noon on the first Monday of each month to conduct the business of the League. The council consisted of Doris De Vinney, Women’s League president ; Evelyn Vogal, vice-president; Anna Louise Anderson, corresponding secretary; Nancy Hatch, recording secretary; and Phyllis McCall, treasurer. Gretchen Hine served as social chairman; Patricia Meyer as nominations chairman, and Ruth Born was athletic chairman. The group leaders ‘were Kathaleen Dilas, leader of Arpatia; Margaret Armstrong, leader of Aurae; Joyce Krabbe, leader of B.O.B.A.; Beverly Reeder, leader of Corona; Helen Jacoby, leader of Mystics, and Irene Maciejewski, leader of S.S.S.. Miss Hellmuth and Miss Schroeder were Sponsors. This year for the first time, the six groups voted to function in pairs because of the decreased enrollment, and many enjoyable meetings were held. The Freshmen Tea, the Christmas Banquet, the Open House, and the May Banquet, all traditional in the Women’s League, were carried on this year very succesfully. Women’s League service projects this year included continuation of the Honor Roll and helping to finance the lounge repairs.
