With two years behind us as one of CTC ' s larg- est classes, we returned this September only to be separated as we, not without some misgivings but with great hopes for progressive education, found this the semester for practice teaching. Half the class went into their pre-practice work, as had pre- ceding classes, in the outlying schools where they later taught as student teachers for the semester Feb- Tuary-June. However, the set-up for the rest of the class was not traditional. Instead of going to neigh- borhood schools, pre-practice students were all as- signed to Parker Elementary. Here the first groups to present their units taught in committees of threes. Student-teaching supervisors then got together and decided to reverse the order; pre-practicers moved again to their community practice schools. With the class absent from the College a great deal, the job of planning activities was a difficult one. Under president Laurette Dunne, the officers met with the class to form the committee for the first fling. Secretary Shirley Mansfield ' s minutes read for a roller skating party. Any report on the success would have been written in extravagant terms to illustrate the turnout and the fun involved- even the books of treasurer Ruth Miller agreed. After this initial activity, we tackled our Christ- mas project, the supplying of cigarettes, candy or games to the men at Hines Hospital. Money collected prcSvided all the men in the Fleet Ward with these Christmas tokens from the juniors. Spring vacation and the Bond-i-Gras! We sold our bonds and stamps backgrounded by the human oddities of our carnival freak show as the class displayed its talents. Vacation found a class more intent on its direc- tion. World events had shown us more than books could the globular need for honest teachers, well prepared. We enter our senior year with hopes of learning further to fulfill this need.

me After a somewhat bewildering summer wonder- ing whether we had chosen the right major, we settled down once again to campus life, now as sophomores. September ' s officers — Pat Shea, president; Rose- mary Shorthall, vice president; Lucille Serritella, secretary, and Virginia Kelly treasurer — were ready to lead us into action. October and November brought our chance to introduce the slightly late freshmen to CTC. Decem- ber saw us plaiming our Christmas party. The suc- cess of this first affair greatly encouraged the class officers and our sponsor. Miss O ' SuUivan. With the opening of the new semester in Feb- ruary, we found our classmates busy establishing beachheads in various fields. The War Board ' s drive for servicemen ' s cigarettes and the sale of war stamps constituted our first campaign. Jean Hen- kel ' s plea for a package a week for the hospital- ized servicement at Gardiner Hospital made sophs conscious of the cause. Then in February Betty O ' Shea took over sophomore leadership in the Red Cross Blood Donor drive. Kathy Flynn, War Board co-chairman, worked tirelessly that CTC might reach its quota in the Red Cross contribution drive. Our large percentage of aerial-minded sophs entered the FLOOR Charlotte Munce, Mary Pizzar ello, Lucille Berman SEATED Vera Stokes, Ruth Yelensky. Constance Mar- agos, Ruth Mandel, Camille Pacelli.

In the early part of May, the much talked of and long planned weenie roast at the Leif Erickson Promon- tory finally became a reality. And now, we await our junior year, perhaps just a little hefeitant at the thought of practice teach- ing, but none the less willing to see for ovuselves what lies ahead of us as student teachers.
