We of Chicago TeachOiS College feel that our school has been fully justified in that it has zealously mothered those who shall contribute more to the moral, cultural, intellectual, and social well-being of our city and country than those in any other field. We of the teaching profession are expected to be the standard bearers of all that contributes to the betterment of mankind. During our incubation, our college has taught us to understand and practice desirable social rela- tionships. We have been guided in the discovery and development of our own worthwhile individual aptitudes. She has taught us to develop the habit of critical thinking and has fostered in us an appreciation of and desire for wholesome activities. She has helped us gain a command of the common inlegreting sciences and skills and has given us the facilities to develop .sound bodies and desirable mental attitudes. If upon leaving her, these are not our possessions, it is we, not she, who have failed. We have prepared this book to show how our College through its admin- ihrough its administration, departments, activities, athletics, and organizations has sincerely tried to realize in us these objectives of education. 7869: DEDICATION In dedicating this Emblem to Mr. Elmer Morrow, we, the students, wish to acknowledge respectfully the great debt in which we hold not only ourselves but the many thousands of stu- dents as well who have profited by his sincere and practical instruction. In January of this year, Mr Morrow retired after forty-two years of teach- ing at Chicago Teachers College, first as an in- structor in Industrial Arts, and later as chairman of that department. Not content with following an approved pattern, he constantly sought to multi- ply advantages for the students in his department by keeping pace with the most recent industrial innovations. The department has truly been en- riched through his association. May his many years of untiring devotion to duty be an inspira- tion for all who follow him in the teaching pro- fession. IN MEMORIAM GEORGE DAUGHERTY One of Mr. Daugherty ' s many friends in pay- ing tribute to him wrote his wife, We grieve with you over the untimely ending of a useful life. Soldiei, patriot, and teacher, we were fond of him for his zeal for living and his gusty humor. His was a good life. HARPER PHILBIN The announcement, on December 8, of the death oi Harper Philbin, was received by the faculty and student body at large with uncon- cealed grief. Harper loved not only life, but those as well with whom he lived. While mourning his death, we are grateful for having, with him, lived and loved and learned. CONTENTS The Guides The Piospectois The Gay Foity-Niners The Backers ' W ' : - ' .. ' ' f % A z finN N Dean Raymond M. Cook wr -i«r- V MESSAGE Again the Forty-niners go forth in search of treasure. A hundred years after the great gold rush, a new set of pioneers is ready to find trails through a wilderness, to brave the dangers of a distant journey, and to hold steadfastly to a high resolve. The perils that beset these latter day Ar- gonauts may be just as menacing as the trials and hazards that were faced a century ago. The Lincoln Highway, with service stations at convenient intervals, has replaced the lonely and rugged Overland Trail. But along the route that today ' s Forty-niners are going to travel, there is still the chance of exhaustion, of sudden ambush, and of wandering astray. It is my conviction that the Class of 1949 is well equipped to undertake its venture. Our graduates have the stamina, the fortitude, and the sense of direction that will enable them to win through to the journey ' s end. You members of the Class of 1949 will learn more from life than we have taught you, but let me give one final word of counsel. In all your undertakings keep the spirit of adven- ture alive. Never succumb to drudgery, but make even what seems drudgery a challenge and a new experience.

This has been the chant of every senior for the past five months. They walk about, calendar in hand, checking off the days until graduation. Their eyes are glazed; and they are obviously victims of college battle-fatigue, so prevalent at the end of four years. Should you happen to ask, as well you might, Has it been as bad as all that? , the graduate undoubtedly would reply, There have been some good moments — quite a few good moments, as a matter of fact Yes, there have been good moments — those when we made new friends that are now tried and true, when we all cooperated on term papers and com- pared class notes, and when we did our history assignments out on the campus striving for an early suntan. And what about the days when someone would come with a brand new engagement ring; and we would sing a few choruses of That Old Gang of Mine ? The main event of our freshman year was the Bunny Hop . It was our first attempt to present something as a class, and we did well for our- selves. The class that entered in 1945 felt, for the first time, like the forty-niners . In the spring, we elected Denny Donnellan, president; Kay Sheehan, vice-president; Ardeth Magee, secretary; and Charles McGuckin, treasurer. They were to lead us in our second year. There are so many pleasant memories of our sophomore year — the hilarious skating party, the dance on St. Valentine ' s day, the night we went en masse to see Song of Norway , the night known in Chicago ' s weather history as the night of the Big Hail and our splash party. We were so young and active then. When we were juniors we gave a rip-roaring forty-niner party . . . featuring a bubble-gum blowing contest. And who can forget those hours just before a Micro exam, or those embarrassing moments when we read our Kid Lit books on public conveyances? Officers for this eventful year were Betty McNamara, president; Kassie O ' Neill, secretary, and AHce Ryan, treasurer. Senior year came at last. Jeanne Connelly was elected class president, Kay Sheehan took over once again as vice-president, Colette Wallock became secretary, and the class once again entrusted their funds to Charles McGuckin. This year had the most memories of all- — that quavering moment when you faced your first schoolroom filled with forty grinning faces and those moments when you realized you were doing something for the last time — things like singing carols in the foyer, registering for the next semester, and being on the student end of homecoming. Hilarity was the theme for the senior play Petticoat Fever . Sophistication was tried in the nightclub party for freshmen in the Tip Top of Teachers College . Sheer heaven was provided at the Senior Prom in the Gold Room of the Congress. If you were to ask the graduate, What was the best moment of all? , however, the answer would be, June 9 at eight o ' clock — graduation! . PROM COMMITTEE The immediate vicinity of the Congress Hotel was radiant with fair faces and fine feathers on Saturday, May 28, when the doors leading to the Gold Room opened to usher in the 1949 Senior Prom. The magic hour was set at 9:30 p.m., when the music of Dave Hayes and his orchestra rippled forth, releasing a shower of merry-making over all. A spirit of anticipation prevailed among the prom-goers; for along with an evening of dancing, the prom was the scene of many revelations — engagements and wedding announce- ments. Vivian Michels should be commended for making possible such an outstanding affair. Gold-toned bids were made to harmonize with the motif of the ballroom. The prom came to a close at 12:30 a.m. Because of the friendly spirits and ideal atmosphere, it proved to be a night worth remembering.

Clear it with Council. Student Council, composed of four officers, three representatives from each class, club presidents, and heads of standing committees is the ruling body of the school. Dorothy McGovern wielded the president ' s gavel during the lively meetings this year. Jim Cahill served as vice president, Marion Manning as secretary, and Dorothy Dahlberg as treasurer. Homecoming, sponsored in coopera- tion with the Alumni, was the major accomplishment of the year Other governmental feats included a revision of the constitution, changes in require- ments of candidates for school officers, and the return of the women ' s lounge. Orientation of freshmen was taken care of by Council through an upper classmerr sponsor system and a series of teas and parties. Assemblies also took on a livelier air this year through the efforts of Council ' s Assembly committee. Secretary MARIAN MANNING Vice President JAMES CAHILL Treasurer DOROTHY DAHLBERG 82 National Student Association OFFICERS National DirecioT ALBERTA SHARONBERG Co-Chairman MARGE WALSH Co-Chaiiman ED GARDNER Secretary JOYCE MARSTON In order to achieve unity of purpose and betterment of student rights, enterprising under- graduates decided that a national student organ- ization based on democratic representation was needed. The initial step in this movement was a National Student Convention. Representatives discussed aims and purposes of a national organ- ization. The Constitutional Convention held in late summer of 1947 officially established the national organization. The purposes of the NSA are numerous: to alleviate student problems; to improve democratic student governments; to develop better educa- tional standards and methods; to increase under- standing; and to improve student cultural, social, and physical welfare. Through the efforts of June Kennedy, a Human Relations Club was formed to develop an under- standing of different races and nationalities. In addition, the NSA committee rewrote the Consti- tution of the Student Council and conducted the world student relief drive of which Rich Thompson was chairman. More recently, the Purchase Card system has been set up. Delegates Earl Fornaciari and John Wooding circulated petitions for the purpose of granting special rates to Chicago ' s college students by the Chicago Transit Authority. A committee composed of Chicago ' s NSA dele- gates presented the petitions to the transit authority and made arrangements for conferences regarding the matter. The latest activity of the delegates has been action on the faculty report on grades. A delegate analysis of the report showed that it would be necessary and timely to reincorporate the Curriculum Committee under NSA leadership. This committee performs two functions directed toward improvement of in- struction — first, making studies of the present curriculum and applicable recommendations and secondly, oiganizing a faculty rating system. - i 83 OFFICERS President. ..DOROTHY DAHLBERG Vice Presidenf..HELENE BAGINSKI Recording Secretary . . PAT MURPHY Corresponding Secretary MARIANNE O ' MEARA ....BILLMULCAHY Treasurer With the hearty approval of Dr. Herold C. Hunt, CTC ' s newest organization, the Future Teachers of America was formally born. Dean Raymond Cook, recognizing the potentialities of this new group, assigned to them the job of recruiting high school seniors for the teaching profession. Letters were sent to the public and parochial schools requesting the full cooperation of their respective heads in allowing FTA members to address those students who might be interested in teaching as a career. Lorraine De Sousa, chair- man of the Recruitment Program, organized a training school for the student speakers and con- ducted an Open House for interested high school Among the other projects undertaken by FTA was a campaign, the purpose of which was to support the senate bill for federal aid to educa- tion. An activity of more local nature was the inception of a tutoring service by the members for those students who felt a need for extra- curricular help. Fifty-two charter members constitute the en- rollment of the group. Aside from the practical advantages to be derived from belonging to an organization of this type, there are some other features which are made available to all members. One of these is the Illinois Education magazine, the subscription to which is provided for in the membership fee. 84 An attractive luncheon preceded the installation of the Future Teachers of America chapter at Chicago Teachers College on March 10. Among the guests were Superintendent Hunt, Dean Cook, Dorothy Dahlberg, president of the chapter, and other well-known members of the faculty and stu- dent body. CTC ' s !H 1 glH ' ' dent wait- j m resses were se- H E , lected from the Home V ' B Hi p Economics department to serve at the luncheon. It was ' Wj r a fitting introduction to the sol- ▼ emn ceremonies which followed at • the installation. S 85 PERLE CENOFSKY, Chairman To promote the welfare of children and youth in the home, school, church and community; to raise the standard of home life, secure adequate laws for the care and protection of youth — these the first objectives of the CTC chapter of Parent Teacher Student Association serve as a guiding light for the members of PTSA on the campus. Three seminars on the function of the Parent Teacher Association in the public schools highlighted the activities of PTSA during the previous semester. Other activities included meetings at which state and local members of the Parent Teacher Association addressed the chap- ter upon the purpose of the organization in the elementary schools. Although rela- tively new, PTSA has made great strides since its inception. It is hoped that in the future underclassmen will strengthen the ranks as old members go out into the school system. 86 HOME ECONOMICS Cooking — sewing — interior decorating; these are the bywords of the Home Eco- nomics Club in both business and leisure activities. The Christmas party for new members featured cooking by the Junior Home Ec girls — cake, candy, and cookies all had that personal touch. In addition, their Homecoming Booth boasted real home-cooking and was clearly the hit of the evening with the milling crowd. Displaying their ability on the domes- tic scene, several of the Home Ec minors served at the Future Teachers of America luncheon for Dr. Hunt. Other activities included a dinner for the seniors in the spring and a style show at which the models presented recent Home Economics designs and creations. Administrative details were capably handled by Marjory Duffy, president; Pat O ' Neill, secretary; and Loretta Nix, treas- urer. 87 F E L L W s H I P OFFICERS President JOAN REUTER V.

The main feature of their pro- gram this year was the annual dance Autumn Nocturne at which pal- ette-shaped bids afforded a topic for conversation. Proceeds from this very successful evening were also charity-bound. Who is Miss Blush? echoed through the corridors as students competed in a novel contest, the returns of which were donated to children ' s aid. Also included in the program for the year were several cake sales. Just before Christmss, we were surprised to see energetic members hauling away the huge Christmas tree that had adorned our foyer. Its destination was a school for crippled children. TEMPO LAURETTA A. PETERSON Editor-in-Chiet The Friday before publication is a red let- ter day for the staff of CTC ' s student organ, Tempo. Behind the third floor door marked Tempo Editorial and Business Office , will be found those unsung heroes of the school, the editors and reporters of Tempo. Amidst the cries of Two lines, 20 counts and Lauretta, how does this sound? , reporters dash in and out checking on their stories, edi- tors mumble over their pages; and the type- writer clicks a rhythm in tempo with the nervous anxiety of deadline night. While the rest of the school goes home to homework and other less pleasant activities, the stafi works on, typing, pasting, cutting and proof- reading. Many nights are spent down at the printers where final corrections are made on the copy. Then, on the following Tuesday, a familiar sight appears in front of the Tempo office — the stack of newspapers attesting to the hard work and perserverance of Tempo ' s staff. ELSIE DOWGUN Managing Editoi MAUREEN NEARY Co-News Editor HELEN EGAN Co-News Editor 90 NEWS But All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy , and the students on Tempo are hardly an exception to the rule. The staff ban- quet held on January 26, at Younker ' s, proved to be a huge success. Entertainment was pro- vided by an essay on the faculty. An example of the relationship between faculty members and Tempo was shown when Dean Cook and other membeis of the teaching staff joined in the laughter at the pointed barbs thrown at the faculty. Another feature of the banquet was the awarding of service pins for those members who have served Tempo for one year. National recognition was gained when the Associated Collegiate Press awarded Tempo First Class Honor Rating for its calibre of news. Tempo ' s future can well be characterized by the unofficial motto of its staff — All-American in ' 49!

The brain child of Miss Barbara Granite, speech instructor, the Workshop grew out of the Senior Play when many drama enthusi- asts turned out to work on and off stage just to be near the glare of footlights and the smell of grease paint. The charter members are those who worked on Petticoat Fever , the Workshop ' s first production, sponsored by the Senior class. Initiation of members and elec- tion of officers took place at the January meeting. Officers for the year are: president, Dan Remahl; vice president, Lorraine Giam- brone; secretary, Reggie Maloney; and special reporters, Polly Mul roy and Jack Perlin. In February, Theatre Workshop gave a Roaring Twenties revue featuring flappers with rouged knees and Joe Colleges with rac- coon coats. Out of the Frying Pan , given on April Fool ' s Day, was the sec- ond major production of the year. Other activities of the group in- cluded attending several plays en masse and conducting post- theatre discussions. 94 M BO MU BETA PHI OFFICERS President JACK ETTEN Vice Piesident CHARMAINE HARPER Secretaiy SYLVIA ZASSER Treasmei VERA L. EDWARDS For those students who are interested in the scientific field, Mu Beta Phi offers a convenient outlet for their extra-curricular ventures into the physical and natural sciences.

A membership drive was conducted during the past semes- ter for the purpose of enlisting all students, regardless of their minors, who were interested in sciences. Under the leadership of Jack Etten, chapter president, Mu Beta Phi scheduled a program of movies which would appeal to the amateur Einsteins of the club. In addition to holding the usual meetings, Mu Beta Phi has also maintained a bulletin board outside of the science office. This board has always been a source of interest for the student body. 96 :s. PSI CHI PHI OFFICERS President LORRAINE DE SOUSA Vice President WILLIAM ORRIS Secretary JUSTINE FILETTI Treasurer HELEN JACOBSON This group isn ' t, as you might suppose, a club where long-faced, sleepy-eyed individuals browse about pursuing diligently the psychic study of this mad, mad world! On the contrary, although it is probably better known for its dignified tours through clinics and institutions, its enriching discussions on neuroses and psychoses, its dabbling in inkblots, brain-waves, skull measurement, dream analysis, personality in- ventory and association tests, it is, today, an or ganization where wide-awake persons absorb their psychology in guaranteed painless doses patented exclusively by the officers and their associates. Now and then, an added attraction is enjoyed by great and not-so-great alike. It is a time when you see them all together, coke or caviar in hand, united in the common bonds of friendship while they parhcipate in the age-old custom of consuming appetizing delicacies. Whatever it is — interesting talks, performances, or the magnehsm of its social snacks — the Psy- chology Club has the stuff; for to quote an enthusi- ashc member: Come thunder, rain, snow or sleet — Psi Chi Phi can ' t be beat! 97 PHI ALPHA O A Three of the more popular organizations at CTC are of the aesthetic nature and are con- cerned with one of Aiperica ' s favorite pastimes — music. The groups referred to are Choir, Phi Alpha, and Orchestra. Organized late in 1938, CTCs illustrious choir has risen high m the estimation of the student body. This rapid rise in popu- larity has been due to the en- thusiasm displayed by all con- cerned. The choir, under the direction of Miss Catherine Tahney, is responsible for one of CTCs most treasured tradi- tions which is its annual Christ- mas program given at a special assembly. Also in connection with the joyous season of Christmas, the choir goes a- caroling through the halls of CTC gayly instilling the spirit of Christmas into the entire student body. A bi-annual breakfast is spon- sored by the choir at which members are entertained by some talented colleagues. This program usually is one of the highlights of the school year. Whenever the choir is men- tioned, one naturally thinks of the Orchestra, conducted by Miss Lela Hamner. The Orches- tra is very prominent in many CTC functions including, among other things, the Christmas program. Phi Alpha, a club sponsored by the music department, has recently added something new to its already active program. This new addition is in the form of a yearly concert, for which all songsters and musi- cians offer their talents. This too promises to become a much iooked-forward-to tradition. CTC has grown to be proud of its musical organizations, and with good reason too; for they have contributed greatly to fos- tering a greater appreciation of music in all CTC students. g-arde a toi ware of me Si tu ne m ' ai - mes pas, si Tho ' you may love me not, the 4 t%4 fA % % i% fM- iP as, , Dt, m m f.

With a total membership of two-hundred and twelve mathematicians, forty- five of whom are still non-teaching sHde-rule genii, KME is lim- ited to those who have a ' B ' average or better in both mathematics and other subjects. Membership in the Math Club is open to all students who are interested in mathematics. Aside from serious discussions of polynomial curves stretching out into in- finity, KME and Math Club meetings include lighter chit-chat concerning the odds on reaching the top of a pyramid club. One of the highlights of 1949 was the national convention in Topeka, Kansas, during April. KME members Marceline Kos- tris, Ramona Goldblatt, and Kathryn Graham attended this con- vention and read their papers on The Mystical Significance of Numbers , Ramifications in Cryptography , and the Pythago- rean Number Oddities , respectively. The arrival of Dr. Jerome Sachs at CTC provided KME with a new sponsor; while Mr. Joseph Urbancek, who has up to now sponsored and aided KME, assumed the position of correspond- ing secretary. 100 THE 1949 EMBLEM LULA CHRISTOPULOS Co-Editor EDWARD SMITH Bvsiness Manager IRENE KELLY Co-Editor LORRAINE De SOUSA Literary Editor C h t MARGARET CAVANAUGH Art Editor AM MISS EILEEN HUNTER Sponsor 102 { ¥ ' i JAMES LEWIS Photography Editor EDITORS Co-Editoi LULA CHRISTOPULOS Co-Editor IRENE KELLY Liteiary LORRAINE DeSOUSA Business EDWARD SMITH Art MARGARET CAVANAUGH Photography JAMES LEWIS BUSINESS STAFF Gloria Bertoia Dennis Donnellan Ruthanne Galitz Lorraine Giambrone Helen Jacobson Betty Kyrss Leslie Morris Don Taylor Betty Walkowiak Margaret Woods Class Representatives LITERARY STAFF Jeanne Connelly Rosemary Kent Stan Crockett Betty Kyras Justine Filetti Marie Marciante Earl Fornaciari Maureen Neary Kay Graham Lauretta Peterson ART STAFF Francine Birk Therese Plecki Minna Rae Katz Virginia Witzman Bread is a staff without which there would be no hfe; the yearbook committee is a staff without which there would be no Emblem. Vv ' e admit it was a staff sans many roots in the beginning. Without knowledge of what mysterious process gave birth to a yearbook, the small group assembled, stared into vacancy, and dispersed to dream vividly of ink sketches, new layouts, striking photog- raphy, odd types and colors. Amid this reverie and dancing fancy, the bubble burst. After a short meeting with Miss Hunter, who met with Dean Cook, who met with Mr. Kaiser, we found it was necessary that our book have a soul. It was to be made out of pure gold — but those whose gold remained the big question. Conflicts arose as the members of the staff sought after thei, goals. Miss Eileen Hunter, our one claim to the aesthetic, haunted the halls and our staff with Sparkle — let ' s put sp irit in it — remember we have to sell ourselves! A serious, wholesome boy became known as Ed — Have you had your picture taken for Emblem? — Smith. Mickey Cavanaugh, art editor, sold on dark large in- formal shots, sent to limbo the numberless sardine-sized variety. Lula Christopulos, co-editor, with the soft brown eyes and voice to match, had a most charming way of directing eager subordinates. Irene Kelly, her saucer-eyed co-worker, was a real help in coordinating activities of the various yearbook departments. Lorraine De Sousa, of the beauty and brains, as literary editor scratched her head with the best and collaborated with any and all associates to think up those different bits about very standardized departments. Our committees had chairmen, the chair- men had advisors; and the advisors had a chairman, and so on! Justine Filetti, who recognizes style even under grammatical mistakes, read copy; and Miss Ruth Dyrud peeked, grimaced and grinned over layout plans. Jim Lewis, who has a way with cameras and those who focus them, v as photography advisor and gentleman in charge of clicking shutters. There would have been Httle use in writers writing, photogs photographing, or any of the other people setting out to work on the Emblem, unless Ed Smith and his staff members had started early to promote sales for the yearbook. Such stalwarts as Leslie Morris, Margaret Woods, Ruthanne Galitz, Lorraine Giambrone, Don Taylor, Gloria Ber- toia, Betty Walkowiak, Dennis Donnellan, and Helen Jacobson sold the book. 104 The co-ed lounge and kitchen were the scenes of many hard-fought battles between layout and page designers. Dorothy Ann Smith cooked, smiled and ate; Therese Plecki arranged backgrounds, retouched photos and ate; Lauretta Peterson assisted, kibitzed and also ate. Setting seriously to work equipped with rulers, erasers and sharpened pencils, the layout committee, with the assistance of Francine Birk and Minna Rae Ketz, started on the long hard road to a finished dummy. De- signing was progressing, after long hours of argumentation and debate, until the day of reckoning came. Plans were much too ex- pensive — and it was so dampening to crea- tive genii to be told that recent brain storms were great — but the cost prohibitive. Perhaps it is wiser to skip the long chron- icle of the struggles of taking formal and informal pictures. Miss De Sousa flung herself into stacks of short copy; that is, that which her writers had surrendered at the point of a tongue drip ping with suasion. They had compensated for the brevity of their contributions by heap- ing her locker with scraps of excuses; it confused her. By the time she had read through the- notes hoping to find copy, the composers had fled the coop. Jean Connelly, Stan Crockett, Earl For- naciari, Marie Marciante, Kay Graham, and Maureen Neary turned in papers on gradu- ates, undergraduates, organizations, clubs, items of interest, ad infinitum. This commit- tee was indispensable; it supplied the dis- tinctiveness apparent in the report of each assignment, which results only from close relationship with them. Emblem closes this year on the thresh- hold of success. We hope you appreciate the results. 105 OFFICERS President CHARMAINE PICARD Vice President Intermediate and Upper Grades MAUREEN NEARY Vice President Kindergarten and Primary Grades SUE LOVE Secretary LAURETTA PETERSON Treasurer RUTH EWING The candle lighting ceremony, singing carols around the Christmas tree at Marshall Fields, and the May Breakfast are sentimental impressions of ACE activities which the forty-niners will store in their memories of CTC. The Association for Childhood Education does much more than give enjoyable Christmas parties, however. The ACE theme of Meeting Children ' s Needs exemplifies the serious concern of ACE members with the problems of children. During the last year, ACE held a panel discussion on UNESCO which was led by Dr. Henrietta Fernitz; sponsored a talk by Dr. Harold Shane, superintendent of the Winnetka schools; sent delegates to the annual state convention in Peoria, Illinois; sponsored a talk by Esther Goetz Gilliland on the use of music in psychiatry; and, as usual, made its vast array of bulletins and magazines available to Chicago Teachers College students. The purpose of the organization is to provide a means by which members may extend their understanding of educational theory and practice, achieve professional improvement and enjoy professional fellowship. This is accom- plished by exchanging ideas and experiences, receiving news of the educational world, making social contacts, and learning ways to promote better educational opportunities for children everywhere. ACE is an international organization and its world-wide aspect has been emphasized by guest speakers from as far away as Norway and Austria. Membership is open to anyone who has a professional interest in children. At CTC, many others besides KgP minors are members of ACE and participate m ACE activities. Although the faculty sponsors are Miss Ellen Olson and Miss Dorothy Willy of the Kindergarten-Primary department, faculty members from other departments have taken a very active part in ACE. Still fresh in the minds of many students who attended the last Christmas candle lighting ceremony is the charming Christmas story told by Miss Barbara Granite of the English department. The art, music, and social science departments also contribute their talents and resources to ACE projects. The international convention of ACE at Salt Lake City, Utah, in April, was attended by delegates from the CTC chapter. 106 107 HUMAN RELATIONS OFFICERS MARGARET WALSH Co-Chairman EDWARD GARDNER Co-Chairman Democracy and its practical application to our daily lives might well be the motto of the Human Relations Club. Since its inception as a branch of NSA on our campus, Human Relations Club has outgrown its parent and at the present time functions as an independent organization. Headlining the activities for the past semester were a play presented during Brotherhood Week and a social given during spring vacation. In addi- tion to these two activities, the club engaged in correspondence with the Board of Education for the purpose of seeing what changes the Curriculum Committee proposed to make in the present elementary school curriculum relating to the field of human relations. Under this heading, fell the problem of the inclusion of the Negro in elementary school textbooks so that children might gain a better understanding of Negro contributions to American society, both past and present. Future projects promise to be as interesting as those recently undertaken by the club. 108 In connection with Brotherhood Week, Human Relations Club presented How About You , an original play written and produced by Stan Crock- ett. Cast in the leading roles were Ed Smith, Kay Solon, Ted Lenart and Norm Gunderson. Sup- porting roles were filled by Pauline Daly, Joyce Marston and Lois O ' Brien. The play emphasized the illogical basis upon which most of our racial and religious prejudice is founded. Weeks of practice, plus the welcome assist- ance of Mr. Richard Flower of the speech de- partment, resulted in a performance which proved the versatility of the talented mind of CTC. One indication of the impact of the drama was made evident when, in a letter to the editor of Tempo, a student asserted the play was, The most mean- ingful message ever to emanate from that tomb- like stage (the auditorium) . . . In response to several reguests by students, Tempo decided it was worthwhile to present a repeat performance. 109 HOMECOMING r • Alumni ' s largest undertaking of the year was their annual homecoming held on March 5. Spon- sored by an active slumni under the auspices of its able president, William J. Coyne, faculty mem- ber, and Helen Clancy, student chairman, it was one of the gayest events of the season. A crowd of several hundred alumni and students began the evening with turkey dinner, followed by entertaining speeches by Jack Duggan, master of ceremonies. Dean Cook, and Miss Clancy. The theme for this year ' s Homecoming was the Mardi Gras . Clowns decorated the tables, balloons filled the air, and carnival booths, soonsored by various classes and organizations, were available for games of chance and refreshments. The annual student-alumni basketball game followed. There were the usual grunts and groans from the Alumni — just slightly out of training and definitely over-matched. Needless to say, the students won. Spectacular is the word for the coronation of Homecoming ' s gueen. One member from each class had been nominated. Votes were cast a1 a penny apiece, and all money collected was donated to the Red Cross. While the orchestra played, A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody , Dean Cook placed a wreath of flowers on Queen Kate O ' Laughlin ' s head. She was then presented with a bouquet of flowers by Helen Clancy. The evening closed with dancing to the music of Bob Birmingham ' s band featuring Audrey Cicero as vocalist. Katie O ' Laughlin, successful senior class can- didate, was crowned Homecoming queen at the Mardi Gras dance by Dean Cook on March 5. Members of her court, Barbara Anderson, Wynn Carmody, and Jessie Cutt, represented the fresh- man, sophomore and junior classes. M,.. i fi 111 PCii -05 Piesident Gwendolyn Neufeldt Vice-President Rita Kubilius Secrefary Norma Zobel Tieasmei Elva Bergstrom For those girls who find time for other things besides homework, house- work and dates, the Women ' s Athletic Association furnishes an excellent outlet for their surplus energy. One of the oldest, and at the same time, one of the most active organiza- tions in the school, WAA has had a successful year during the past semesters. Guided by Audrey McLean and supported by Gladys Magnusson, Mary Cachey and Dolores Schmit during the fall semester, and Gwen Neufeldt with her co-workers Rita Kubilius, Norma Zobel and Elva Bergstrom during the soring semester, WAA sponsored a variety of activities for the women stu- dents of the college. The Freshman tea for the incoming girls was the first big event WAA held. It was here that the new students became acquainted with the aims and purposes of this organization. From this time on, WAA launched whole- heartedly into a program of activities which culminated with the annual ban- quet in May at which awards were given to all participants who earned suffi- cient points in the various classes. The girls had their choice of earning honors in square dancing, modern dance and ballet, swimming, tennis, archery, soft- ball and bowling. S pecial events on the WAA calendar included the annual all-star Alumni volleyball and softball tournament which saw the return of faces famihar to CTC during the past year. Plans were also made for an aquatic show to be held during the summer. The managers of the various activities also come in for a round of ap- plause. On the whole, WAA shows what can be accomplished by a women ' s organization in a college of our size. 112 m m. V • ff -1 ' 1 I -T n. AjriPfA ' A iw ' f 11  . •iHili liftttlllliillll i wV t f M A President DON EDGAR Secretaiy-Treasurer PAUL LILEK The MAA under the leadership of Don Edgar and Paul Lilek sponsored intra-mural basketball and Softball in addition to swimming, golf and tennis tourneys. The loss of CTC ' s star guard, Dan Trahey, plus the additional gaps cre- ated by graduation, were two of the prime factors which contributed to the six-fourteen record of the basketball team. Although hardly lacking team spirit and drive the hoopsters just couldn ' t seem to click for those all- important winning points. Such reliables as ' Red ' Dillon, ' Chick ' Kramp and ' Nick ' Etten played their usual stellar roles on the hard- court. One lad who seemed to show promise was Bill Mulligan, a freshman, with whose help we should win a large majority of our games. This year also saw a renewed activ- ity on the part of the Physical Educa- tion Minor club. Led by Bill Scheid, Bill McMullen, Bob Mueller and Norma Zobel, president, vice-president, secre- tary and treasurer, respectively, PEM held several organized activities during the past semester. Foremost among the list of activities were the organiza- tion of a bowling league during the spring and a Softball tournament in A the summer. Although the club is com- posed of PE ' s, there were other things besides athletics. Three social events were held — a tobogganning party dur- ing the winter, a roller skating party in the spring and a barn dance which took place during the summer. In a more serious vein, the PEMs undertook to make the Physical Edu- cation play day a success. Held on April 6, and attended by student rep- resentatives of the Chicago high schools, the purpose of the PE play day was to stimulate additional interest in physical education and to serve as a means of attracting more students to CTC. All of the PEs participated in various demonstrations of tumbling, dancing, games and swimming. Not content with the previous activ- ities, PEM decided to venture into the field of journalism — a venture which proved to be quite successful. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Joseph Kripner, head of the Physical Education depart- ment, the PE minors publish Pem-Pet a newspaper devoted to the field of physical education. A large amount of credit should be given to Paula Werges lor her excellent work in helping to coordinate her staff ' s activity in putting out Pem-Pet. Journalism, demonstrations, socials, games — it all goes to show that our athletes have more than oversized muscles. CXCCLC BRANCATO t FnecoMAM p. Lilek J. Brown R. Excell B. Costello L.
