You took a couple of voice lessons when you should have been in rhetoric class . . . But it was fun being busy . . . You liked the ivy growing over brick buildings. Now you were a sophomore . . . You knew how to take notes in class . . . And term papers! ... It was easy . . . You got a pile of books, took three paragraphs from each, arranged tliem in what you hoped was logical order, and there it was . . A low grade? Who cares? ... A sophomore knew marks aien ' t important. . . . Getting things done counts. Then you were a junior . . . You gave the seniors their banquet . . . The best you could remember ever having attended . . . You edited the Vista and the Papyrus ... In between times you wiped your perspiring brow on a Kleenex and wondered how th seniors could possibly be busier. At last you were a senior! . . . Life and studies v rere of serious import . . . Chapel seemed better . . . It was fun at the Junior-Senior banquet . . . Then ca ne the skip hike , . . Freedom — life was wonderful . . . Move-up day . . . After that you attended chape! religiously . . . Spring . . . Whenever you saw a familiar college scene etched in sunlight you retrace a it on your memory in indelible ink . . . You wanted to remember ... A service of dark gowns . . . You almost stumbled when you were receiving your diploma . . . The smile on your face wasn ' t real ... it hurt . . . And you were still carrying that piece of ivy. Professor and Mrs. Holtwick — Our sponsors 16 Laura J. Alexander, B S. in Music Education, Wessing- ton Springs, S. Dakota.

Organized for the purpose of giving teachers practical experience in working together on problems of their profession and community, and acguamting them with the history, ethics, and program of the teaching profession, this group has participated m several absorbing programs and activities. Fore- most in this group were Dr. Marston ' s challenge on the teacher ' s responsibility in modern education and a debate on progresive vs. traditional education. 60 9 nte icxUleCflate jbeLate We, the ajtirmative, believe — Although there has been no regular Greenville inter-collegiate debate squad for several years, this year ' s squad has set up a fine record. Their purpose is to promote debating ability and give experience along this line. Coached by Prof. Tode, the squad came out first at the Eastern State College Tournament and second in the Southern Illinois University Tournament.
