All about us there is action, and this action, of which we are essentially a part, will in a large measure determine our future. In the light of the swiftly moving age in which we live, only the foolish fail to realize the importance of these days. We are in the long run little different from our predecessors for they too, had their goals. They too were faced with the problem of achieving in the age in which they lived. The background for this drama is the campus and personages responsible for its continued success. To capture this setting the Prologue presents familiar views and familiar faces, which in the years to come will be more and more important to each of us as we try to relive the good old days.

For every great, star and for every great pro- duction there must be equally great directors. From experience gleaned through the years of learning, from knowledge absorbed from the experiences of others and from common sense developed through the years of deahng with one ' s fellows, the directors pass on to their understudys the best that the years of practice have endowed them. With patience and understanding but with a necessary firmness, a sys- tematic and thorough method of bringing out the very best in character, in intelligence, and in the practical application of essential qualities has been developed that the ' stars ' of tomorrow will be fully equipped to meet the future. ■We present the Directors of the Year 1947 at Indiana, The Administration and Faculty. -•. r r Dr. Uhler is concerned about everything which might strengthen and enrich our college academically. Indiana is fortunate indeed to have such a shrewd and kindly chief executive. Perhaps no institution in the country can claim a president who is more generally regarded as fair and forward-looking by his cam- pus, his communitij. and the state he serves. THE PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF 1947 Seventy-two years ago this May, the first students of the Indiana State Teach- ers College (Normal School to 1927) met in the only building on the campus. Since then the school has enjoyed great expansion, both material and academic. Many outstanding characters among students and faculty have been associated with the college during these years. Practically every class has had some of its repre- sentatives reach high positions in chosen fields and the Class of 1947 will contribute its share. We entertain high hopes for you because of your native capacities, your educational achievements, and the opportunities you will have in a new age in which to apply your talents and training. The traditions of this school were estab- lished by people like yourselves. You have profited by the contributions of former classes and your participation will help future groups. When you stop to realize that your attitudes, your likes and dislikes, in fact, your entire personalities and philosophies of life are the result of education, you must feel a keen sense of respon- sibility to those who follow us. We bespeak for you a wholesome respect for the ordinary decencies and homely virtues accompanying truth and character. If exercised, they will add prestige to the college and success and respect to your individual lives. You are graduates of a great school. Go forth and make your contributions, and may the world be kind to you. Dr. Uhler dictates a letter to Miss Jenkins. Thirlccii STAGE DOOR As Dean of Instruction, Dr. Heiges is perhaps the first of the faculty with whom incoming freshmen become ac- quainted. Although serving in a general capacity, his primary duties revolve around credit evaluation, supervision of student and faculty schedules, and departmental organization. Mr. Beard is Assistant to the Dean of Instruction. This office is concerned primarily with the student testing program and the com- piling of individual profile charts. However, other functions of the office include private student conferences and certification for Junior Standing. Mr. John Davis, a familiar figure to Sen- iors, handles the problems concerning Student Teaching as well as operating the Placement Bureau as a service for both alumni and graduating students. DEANS AND ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANTS As the Dean of Men. Mr. Walter M. Whitmyre deals with the problems concerning the housing, boarding, and social life of the men students. He also serves as advisor to a number of impor- tant student organizations. Miss Florence B. Kimball. Dean of Women, and Dr. Dorcas Hall, assistant Dean of Women ' , handle the numerous problems that concern the well being of the women students. In addition, they are also sponsors of several self-govern- ing student groups concerned with these same problems. Mr. William Schuster and his staff handle all college business and financial matters as well as acting as advisors to numerous campus organizations. Miss Mary L. Esch, Registrar of the College, supervises the registration of new students and the maintenance of official student records. In the capacity of Treasurer of the Cooperative Association, Mr. John Lin- genfelter has the task of budgeting and distributing the funds of the CO-OP as well as serving as manager of the Book Store and as Central Treasurer for cam- pus organizations. f 1.W Reynolds. Mr. Kipp, Head of Department. Harris. Gaslander. Murdock. ART EDUCATION Mr. Orval Kipp Head of Department Besides being a separate unit training its stu- dents in the teaching of art, the Art Department has become closely associated with the entire stu- dent body through numerous e.xtra-curricular activi- ties. Exhibits of work done by students, faculty members, and outside contributors have done much in bringing art to the non-art students. These shows have given members of other departments the opportunity to apply the principles which were discussed in their art appreciation courses. A cooperative ART PRESS was established and it has done many of the printing jobs for stu- dent organizations on campus. Sixteen BUSINESS EDUC ATION Mr. G. G. Hill Head of Department The Business Education Department occupies the ground floor of the Art Building. It aims to produce highly skilled business teachers who will strive to improve the profession in their field. Three new members were added to the faculty in a step towards greater efficiency; and the new room arrangements and new equipment were for but a single purpose . . . doing a better job. Students are placed in actual life situations in classrooms modernly equipped with typewriters, mimeoscopes. dictaphones, mimeographs, comptometers, adding machines, and files and cabinets. Stoner. Webb, Drumheller. Thomas, Mr. Hill. Head of Department, File, Farrell. Garlow, Miss La Verne Strong Director of Division ELEMENTARY EDUCATION The Elementary Division is composed of those students who will know, as teachers, the joys and satisfaction to be derived from stimulating and direct- ing the growth of children. The first two years are designed to give elemen- tary students a broad cultural background, while the last two are devoted to professional courses and to student teaching. Extra-curricular programs provide opportunities to work with children. The college chapter of the Association for Child- hood Education contributes to the cultural, social, and professional advancement of its members through many worthwhile activities. SECONDARY EDUCATION Miss Joy Mahachek Director of Division -? ; The Secondary Education Division offers courses of a general nature during the Freshman and Sopho- more years. Thereafter there is a greater emphasis placed on specialized fields and on educational theory. giving professional status to the training. Upon gradua- tion the students are prepared to teach in the secondary schools of Pennsylvania in at least one of the following fields of certifi cation: English, Speech. Foreign Lan- guages. Geography. Mathematics. Science, and Social Studies. This year the enrollment of the Secondary Educa- tion Division has been greatly increased by an in- flux of returned veterans. These new students should do much in alleviating the demand for well-trained secondary teachers. Eig ttt ' L ' ft HOME ECONOMICS Students entering the Home Economics Department be- come familiar with and take courses in almost every other department in the school besides specializing to a high degree within the department itself. Science, art. psychology, sociology, and economics are combined with the departmental courses to give the student a broad background to meet the problems which will be faced in daily life. The work is evaluated in terms of better living through an understanding of adequate nutrition, attractive and appropriate dress, comfortable and convenient homes, and the satisfying human relationships which make the home and community. In school and out they plan their lives so that they will be all around persons and ideal homemakers as well as successful teachers. Dr. Opal T. Rhodes Head of Department Standing: Hasty.

' The Music Education Department has completed an unusually successful year owing to the reorganiza- tion of all of its major organizations. The Marching Band participated in all football and patriotic events: the College Choir and String Orchestra presented the Handel Messiah at Christ- mas, the College Symphony Orchestra presented fine concert programs, as did the Girls ' Chorus and Men ' s Glee Club. In addition, these organizations were fea- tured in twelve weekly broadcasts over WDAD. Music assemblies, student recitals, trips to Pitts- burgh to hear major symphony orchestras, operas and recitalists provided students with a rich fare of musical experiences. The students in this department go out into the field well prepared. Underlying the program is a prac- tical philosophy of the value of a functional music education. The excellent faculty and superior equip- ment provide the experience necessary for well trained musicians. Twenty English and Speech The Department offers basic courses in composition, speech and literature. English and Speech electives are designed to meet the needs of spec- ialists preparing to teach as well as to those students merely seeking personal improvement or enjoyment. Seated: Macdonald.

Dr. Edward Beighler, Head of Department. Geography Firm in the belief that wars are born in the minds of men and that ... in the minds of men those ideas which foster peace through understand- ing of each others ways must be planted, the Geography Department strives to impart this understanding to students in the fields of Elementary, Business, and Secondary Education.

One WE WERE FRESHMEN FRESHMAN CLASS President Vice-President OFFICERS Robert Coleman Secretary Kathryn Collins Treasurer Sponsor - - - Miss Florence Wallace Jeanne Miller Scott Garman Made historyl That ' s right, the class of 1950 has already made its mark in the annals of the college. The six hundred eager and excited freshmen who thronged the campus on registration day made this one of the largest classes ever. The class, however, has not been content to e.xcell merely in numbers. Its members soon lost the uncertainty and strange- ness of their first few weeks on campus and took an active part in the activities, both social and educational. The problems of forging this heterogeneous group into a unit capable of functioning efficiently was carried out in a manner to be much admired. Candidates from each de- partment, nominated by a committee of their peers, were voted on by the members of the class in a special meeting. Through such practical experiences in college living the class has matured until it is ready to assume the title and responsibility of Sophomore. Thhiy % ¥ ys SECTION I — Row 1: Charley.

WE WERE SOPHOMORES SOPHOMORE CLASS The Class of Forty-nine, on stage at I. S. T. C. only a year, has already assumed a vital role in the affairs of the college. The members of the class, more mature than when they enrolled a year ago and with their ranks swelled by an influx of veterans, have caught the spirit of the post-war world and eagerly wait to take their place in it. Certain that they, as teachers, will mold the minds of unborn generations they carefully prepare themselves for the future. The social event of the year was the annual class prom. Recreation hall was deco- rated as the Club Forty-nine, and the soft music of Brad Hunt ' s orchestra gave promise of a night of fine entertainment as 172 members of the class met to forget classes and e.xams for a few hours. Soft lights, good music, novel intermission entertainment capped by the crowning of the Queen of the Ball and enticing refreshments combined to fulfill the expectations of every member of the class. With class unity assured by the formation of an interdepartmental Executive Council under the guidance of Dr. Clinton File, faculty sponsor, the class looks forward to the day when they will become teachers.

More mature and with an acceptance of both the difficulties and satisfactions involved in a teaching career, the members of the class are rapidly advancing toward their collective goal: becoming well rounded individuals. The increased responsibility and trust accorded an upperclassman brings an informality of class atmosphere and a more intimate contact with faculty members which is on the whole beneficial. Realization of the nearness of the assumption of a teacher ' s responsibilities results in more interested, intelligent observation and study, both in and out of the classroom. Participation in all phases of activity on cam- pus has given individuals a clearer insight into the p roblems of college life and helped pre- pare them for a fuller life following graduation. Social highlight of the year was the Junior Prom, held on April 19. Recreation Hall, beautifully and artistically decorated, furnished the background for the memorable affair. Music, sweet and swing . . . soft lights . . . beautiful gowns . . . and an air of excitement combined to make this a night to remember. Thirty-eight Row 1: Byers, Sawhill. Tanner. Nordsiek.

As the curtain rises we see ourselves as we v orked . . . and as we played. I Scene m a, ?A.ja.,.

Sun- day morning inspirational meet- ings, monthly business gather- ings, and attendance at national and local conventions were some of the events on the year ' s program. Social gatherings in- cluded an informal get-together, a Treasure Hunt and the Thanksgiving and Christmas parties, all of which fulfilled the highest expectations. I 4 Erskine Club The Erskine Club, with Dr. and Mrs. Clinton File as faculty sponsors, is a non-sec- tarian group organized by the United Presbyterian Church to provide Christian Fellowship and recreation for its 75 mem- bers.

Mrs. J. S. Couzer. Its purpose is to give students who are members of the church in- spiration and guidance not only through study but also through Christian Fellowship. The group sponsors a number of so- cial activities in addition to the regular Sunday classes. Y. W. C. A. The Young Women ' s Christian Association seeks To bring as many people as possible to- gether for Christian Fellowship and activity, thereby fostering growth of all persons on our campus. This purpose was carried out through the varied activities of 19-46-47: The Big-Little Sister party, joint Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. open meetings, the annual Membership Dinner and Candlelight Service, Thanksgiving Morning Watch. The Christmas White Gift Service and Carol Sing, as well as the Skating Party. Square Dance, and Movie Night. Suggestions for this inspiring program were derived from the contacts made and ideas gained at the summer conference of the Student Christian Movement at Camp Kanestake. Spruce Creek. Pennsylvania. Here students from the entire United States, with the same goal of spiritual enrichment in mind, met for a stimulating exchange of views and ideas. From these and the other conferences attended by Cabinet members came the inspiration for much of the fine work done by this group during the year.

Fall and spring outings were held to stimulate an interest in the organization. Several professional meet- ings gave opportunities for discussion of the various problems confronting high school teachers. Through its programs the club increased the recognition of the vital educational issues of the day and provided a social outlet for its members. Science Club The function of the newly reorganized Science Club is to promote interest in research and technolgical discoveries. This was fulfilled via an interesting series of lectures by men representing a wide variety of professions. In addition, a specially appointed group attended a conference of the Pennsylvania Academy of Science at Johnstown. Two social outings were held at the College Lodge to round out the calendar for the year.

Girl Scout troop guidance, Lab school supervision at meal time, story-telling for children at the town library, and playing host to the children at the Willard Home, there ' s rarely a dull moment. In addition, there are also plenty of check-marks on the social calendar. A Homecoming luncheon at the Methodist Church, the Senior Farewell given by the Juniors, a Christmas Party at the Lab School, and the Annual Dance were only the major events of the year. Fifty Home Economics Club OFFICERS President. Alice Schwcinbraten Vice-President - Evelyn Jones Secretary - Ruth Van Ormer Treasurer - Betty Lou Hammer Sponsor - Miss Elizabeth Pinter The Home Economics Club, founded to promote intra-departmental unity, has achieved this end by sponsoring numerous activities throughout the year. A revival of the Freshman-Sophomore party and the traditional Merry Go for Juniors and Seniors headed the calendar of events for the first semester. In the second semester a Get-Acquainted Tea was held at which faculty, upperclassmen and freshmen met and became friends. Intercollegiate Conference on Government OFFICERS Chairman - Geraldine Zeigler Vice-Chairman Richard C. Frye Secretan - - Janet Mullen Sponsor - Mr. C. M. Johnson The Intercollegiate Conference on Government, with chapters in nearly every college and university in Pennsylvania, has as its purpose the study of problems confronting the citizens and legislators of the Com- monwealth. Through thi.s work members gain a valuable knowledge of legislative procedure. Indiana ' s delegation spent the first, semester studying parliamentary law and the second on the sample legislation to be introduced at the Model Legislature, held in Harrisburg, April 18 to 20. Filly-one Student Council OFFICERS President -_.__. Fred Stokes Vice-President ----- Jane Bowman Secretary ------ Flora Santucci Sponsor ----- Mr. W. M. Whitmyre The Student Council, numbering twenty-six members chosen from all departments on the campus as well as from the student body at large, is a highly democratic organization, not only for the promotion of close cooperation between the students and faculty, but also as a means of presenting the views of the student on school problems. Complete freedom in requesting information and in making suggestions to the adminis- tration on matters that are felt to be generally beneficial to the college is enjoyed by this group. Numerous changes have thus been made as a direct result of the council ' s actions. Some of its more routine functions include the selection of editors for student publications and approval of the budget submitted by the Student Cooperative Association. The council sent two representatives to an Associated Conference on Student Govern- ment held in October at Edinboro State Teachers College. The ISTC student government had the distinction of being voted the most democratic and efficient of all schools represented. Fifty-two Advisory Board President - Kitty Ann Novick Secretary - - Evelyn Jones Sponsor - Dr. Doreas Hall The Advisory Board, made up of three seniors, two juniors, a sophomore, the presidents of the Resident and Non-resident Women ' s Leagues, and the assistant Dean of Women, meets weekly to act on recom- mendations by the Resident Women ' s League. Provided for by the constitution of the League in the interest of better student government, the Board strives continually to fulfill its purpose. For the most part cases brought before the board are solved to the satisfaction of all. and amendments are made in the con- stitution from time to time to meet changing conditions. THE 1947 HANDBOOK The Handbook gives practical information to both students and faculty concerning social regulations, campus activities and organizations, and college government. The editor, chosen from applicants by Stu- dent Council, and the staff revise the book each year in order to keep up with the changes which have taken place on campus and to fulfill their aim of being as helpful as possible to as many persons as possible.

Such problems as the policy toward Russia, labor and its effect on foreign policy, the Jewish problem. Atomic energy control. China, the United Nations, and the American Occupational policy came up on the calendar and were discussed by the group. The Club also sponsored an All-Campus United Nations Committee under the chair- manship of Robert Reynolds and Dick Frye to promote an understanding of, and an interest in, the United Nations. With appro.ximately sixteen Campus organizations participating. the committee presented a special United Nations convocation and kept a daily informative bulletin board on tfie activities of the UN, Besides its interest in world affairs the group still found time for social activities. As the climax for a successful, interesting year the Spring Banquet was held for this active, alert group. fifty-four RESIDENT WOMEN ' S LEAGUE OFFICERS Nell Byers Janet Mullen President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Arlene Savers Sponsor - Miss Florence Kimball Comprised of hall presidents, committee heads, and the Advisory Board, the Resi- dent Women ' s League strives to solve problems of social organizations and to promote coordination between the boarding women and the administration. In addition to its routine functions, the League last year sponsored a Rummage Sale and the Tuber- culosis Seal drive. NON-RESIDENT WOMEN ' S LEAGUE The Non-Resident Women ' s League, sponsored by Dr. Dorcas Hall, boasted a large membership this year. Spring and fall outings held at the College Lodge, a Christmas Tea combined with the Y. W. C. A., collection of money for W. S. S.

We can not deny that there have been times when the going was tough. During these times when problems seemed insurmountable and the future unpredictable it was only through the encouragement of the student body and the wise counsel of the faculty advisors that we found the right path. We consider ourselves especially fortunate to have had such wise and sincere backing. We do not pretend to have presented a momentous volume. We only hope that we have accurately recorded the drama of the year 1947 at Indiana. The girls throw a little light on the subject. James K. Stoncr Ralph W. Reynolds Oak Meet the staff.

Seventy Loyal fans flock to Brave Field for opener The Indians scattered the Saint ' s scalps over Indiana ' s field in the opening game with St. Vincent. A bit of razzle-dazzle, in which Carlson aerialed to Stroup who in turn lateralled to Hunter, gave the Braves their first score, Carlson ' s kick for the extra point put Indiana in a seven point lead. In the second quarter, Corey ' s interception of a St. Vincent pass began another drive into Sainted territory. Carlson went wide around his right end to make the second tally standing. Indian back felled by flock of Fairmont tacklers. Scvt. ' f y-o itJ Diinlap T Wilson 4 t Shaub Edelman G I Some evidence of the predicted St. Vincent power was seen in the third quarter when the Saints managed to wrest seven points from the home team. The final quarter, which was a fine show of In- diana ' s reserve strength, ended with the Maroon and Slate on the long end of a 20-7 score. Indiana then travelled to Slippery Rock, where, under vx ' eather conditions more suitable for baseball than football, the Rockets squeered out a 7-6 victory over the Millermen. In typical California weather, Indiana out- fumbled the California Teachers. Strongly bolstered by several farmed out Penn State freshmen, the California eleven proved to be better swimmers than the boys from Indiana, and drowned the Indians in an 18-6 defeat. Before a huge homecoming crowd, on its own field, the Indiana eleven tackled a little-known opponent from Fairmont, W. Va. After a slow opening the Indians started to roll, and the half ended. Indiana 10 — Fairmont 0. In the second half. Indiana ' s play was highlighted by the excellent passing of Hunter and Carlson, and the punting of Stroup. resulting in three more Indiana touchdowns. The game ended, Indians 33 — Fairmont 7. Despite a 13-0 score in Indiana ' s favor, the Lock Haven game proved to be a contest between two very evenly matched teams. Injuries sustained by Carl- son. Stokes, and Stroup during the game were mute evidence of the Hosts ' hard blocking and vicious tack- ling. The first half was a punting duel from beginning to end. with neither team able to gain much ground. The last two quarters saw Indiana on Lock Haven ground most of the time. The attack was led by Carl- son, who went over for the first score, and by little Jimmy Ball, who moved from the bench on the side- lines to a first string berth where he ran rings around the bigger Lock Havenites to score the second touch- down for the Braves. Shaul passed to Stroup for In- diana ' s thirteenth and final point. For the first time during the season, the Indians returned home victorious. Although Clario n had a pair of fine backs in Rimer and Scarantine, they hadn ' t much else, and Indiana had little trouble subduing this rival 27-H. Carlson and Hunter both scored in the first quarter for Indiana, Hunter crossing the goal after making a nice intercep- tion of a Clarion pass. Clarion ' s Scarantine scored early in the second quarter. Then, on the kick-off immediately follovving. Sc7 ' enty-lwo Bottom Row: Visnovsky, Phillips, Stroup. Hoover. Dunlap. Carlson. Wilson.

Carlson took the ball in the Indiana end zone. picked up line blocking, and raced over 100 yards for another Indiana score. This run was one which will go down in the football annals of ISTC. The third quarter, though scoreless, starred Paul Shaul ' s running and passing. A few seconds after the final quarter opened, Shaul tossed to Stroup in the end zone for another Indiana score. The game at Mansfield turned out to be a rousing victory for the hoine team. The Indians were in the lead at half-time as the result of two touchdowns by Corey and a con- version by Carlson, compared with one touchdown by Amerdalo for Mansfield. The third quarter found Mansfield slowly gaining on the Braves, but the resulting score was 13-12 in favor of Indiana as the fourth quarter opened. The last quarter was almost a complete rout of the Indians, caused by some spectacular Mansfield runs. The final score was Mans- field 25, Indiana 13. The Braves ' starting line-up for their final game was slightly changed. Stahura and Smith started at fullback and end. respectively, for Corey and Stokes who had been injured in the previous week ' s game at Mansfield. The halftime score of 7-7 speaks for itself. However, four touchdowns in the second half showed that Indiana had not lost its scoring punch. The final score. Indiana 32, Shippensburg 7, was a fitting conclusion to a good season of football for Indiana.

Not to be outdone by the varsity athletes, In- diana ' s students found the prestige and excitement they craved through intra-mural sports. Girls ' volleyball was the first attraction of the year, featuring Snip Ledebur ' s team all the way. Next came basketball, men on Tuesday and Thurs- day nights, girls on Monday and Wednesday. The Phi Sigs copped the honors for the men with the Ruptured Ducks winning consolation position. Ledebur was predicted also to lead her team to the top in the girls ' basketball league. As Spring drew near, plans for the final phase of intra-murals. soft- ball, were being made. E ' l hty-tm VARSITY I The Varsity I club was established to give financial aid to athletes and to promote good sportsmanship. Activities of the club include variety shows, sale of football programs, concessions at all sports events, and the loan fund which has enabled innumerable members to finish their education. The loan fund was started in 1940 to give needy members aid through short term loans. In the seven years since the inception of this program, one thousand dollars has been loaned and repaid. In being admitted to the Varsity I club the individual becomes a lifetime member. This honor is realized only after having earned a varsity letter in a major sport. President Deane Works too!

To be eligible, a student must have six or more hours of geography and at least a B average. Only majors and minors in this field may qualify. Alpha Omega is not entirely professional, as is shown by its many social functions. An outing at the lodge and a Social Hour featured several interesting talks by those who had just recently returned from abroad. The annual Alpha Omega Banquet was held in March, and the following month found a joint meeting with the Slippery Rock geography fraternity on that campus. In May, a joint banquet with I. R.

Its aim. as stated in the fraternity charter is — to encourage high professional, intellectual and personal standards and to recognize con- tributions to education. Students who ex- hibit worthy educational ideals and sound scholarship are eligible for membership in this select group. In 1947 the theme of Beta Gamma Chapter ' s program was education in various foreign countries. Interesting discussions on this subject were held at the monthly meet- ings of the organization, but the major ef- fort of the fraternity has been the formula- tion of plans to assist in the education of a Polish war orphan.

This award is given for officer ' s efficiency, sorority examina- tions, participation in college activities and chapter scholarship. This enthusiasm was in keeping with our aim for the year: to make ourselves more forceful citizens of our nation and more intelligent representatives of the world and to instill in our chapter the feeling of dignity and pride in our affiliation as national sorority women. The social and professional calendars were p lanned accordingly. The social calendar in- cluded such events as the initiation of six new members, a Hallowe ' en party at Beck ' s Cabin, a Christmas Party at Mrs. Walker ' s and the Bowery Rush Party at the lodge. Our out- standing professional event was the presenta- tion of an award in memory of Mary Alice Ferguson, an alumna of our chapter. Climax- ing the year was the Formal Rush Party and the Mother ' s Day Luncheon and we closed the semester with our annual Strawberry Festival and our farewell Senior Breakfast.

The Christmas season rolled around and with it our Christmas party with presents for everybody and scads of food. We did our annual Social Service bit working for the Red Cross at the home of Mrs. Kanable. our patroness. At the Panhellenic Dance Beta had. as usual, the largest number of couples. And it was a Beta girl chosen Queen of the Dance. After vacation the Informal Rush Party was held at the College Lodge with a grand group of Frosh to help.

It was a big year from beginning to end. What with our president. Garnet Mourer. coming back from the national convention, held at Mackinac Island this summer, bringing over with nev. ' ideas, how could we help but have a good year. The Panhellenic Coffee Hour found many sisters gathering to aid in the entertaining of new frosh. Mrs. Hill, one of our patronesses, entertained us at her home in early November giving the girls a chance to get together to gossip over old times. Founder ' s Day was celebrated at the Activities Cottage and the Alumni banquet in Pittsburgh. Another pleasant surprise was Dr. Board- man ' s acceptance of co-sponsorship with Miss McLean. Before we knew it. the informal party was upon us; all had fun galore and it was a weary bunch of girls that found their way back to school from the lodge on that December evening. March gave us our traditional Evening in Paris party with added attractions this year. A super time was had by our friends and the formal rush party was all too soon a thing of the past. Then came ' silence week. followed shortly thereafter by the absorption by the pledges. Easter vacation brought spring and the traditional new hats. Mother ' s Day Tea. our annual picnic, and the senior banquet came upon us too fast and passed just as swiftly. Yes, the year is gone . . . see you in September. One II mull cd Three SIGMA SIGMA SIGMA O. ' NCE again the Tri Sigs united in September for a year of gay social activities and rigorous scholastic endeavor. The very first event of the schedule, a coke party gave an opportunity to catch up on news, plan future activities, and have a song fest. In October things seemed to be happening every minute, what with the homecoming game and dance, plenty of lonely freshmen to make rush season a rollicking time and the trip of five of our girls to the Regional Meet in the Hotel New Yorker. They returned, tired but happy, full of exciting stories of a thrilling trip, highlighted by a Fred Waring Broadcast. Christmas vacation and then exams with the midnight oil brightly burning. Will we ever learn not to cram? Then came rush season, key-noted by our informal and formal parties. Finally the big day — pledging! How proud we were of our new little sisters! Came April and our Founder ' s Day celebration — those memorable hours spent in Pittsburgh. The year brought so many wonderful things! And never to be forgotten are those who have graduated — those who left behind a Tri Sigma spirit which will never die.

The frosh answered the smoke sig- nal and visited Robinson Crusoe and Man Friday at the Lodge for the Theta informal party. We feasted on roast pig and everyone had a big ole time. Christmas came, bringing with it the annual party at Miss Wal- lace ' s home — there ' s always a terrific turnout when there ' s food and Christmas carols in store. Then came the Formal Rush Party. Rushees and sorority girls alike donned their party frocks to attend the season ' s biggest event. There were last-minute dashes before Silence Week. And then The Thursday Evening arrived. With lumps in our throats, we patiently awaited the final decisions. After pledging some of the finest gals on campus, and with one more rush season gone, pledge duties came next. With Swing-Out came the Mother ' s Day Tea, when the Theta Sigs once again became one big happy family. After Founder ' s Day and the Senior Dinner, the Thetas were off to summer vacations.

Through this agency the problems and overall plans for the year are discussed and agreements reached. The Council is a collective bargaining ' agent and with the e, perience gained on this board the members, and the groups which they represent, come to realize the giv e and take ' expected of them in their post- graduate years. The close cooperation displayed in making the Annual Interfraternity Dance a success e. - emplifies the high plane of understanding and fellowship which exists between the fraternities.

The year ' s activities began with an informal gathering at which spaghetti flew thick and fast. In October, thirteen men pledged Phi Alph and a party was thrown to welcome the boys; the Phi Alph Alumni Association was reorganized at a Homecoming dinner held at the Moore Hotel. Once again the Alph Alumni and active members turned out in full force for the Inter-Fraternity dance in November. In January, publication of the Alphian the fraternity paper was renewed, and a tide of blue and gold swept the campus as the Alphs broke out in their new jackets. March brought the spring rush party and all the Alphs and their guests with their gals, piled into buses and cars and rolled merrily out to the Lodge for an informal dance. A professional meeting and a stag smoker made up the activities for the rainy month. In May the Alphs toasted their departing brothers and wound up the school year with plans for a summer get-together. 0 t ' Hitndted Ten p D. ifttiii Abraham Banks Calvo Cooper Geracomos Koziel Lentine Morford McKee Mears Mitchell Polesky Petronchak Reffner Scanga Shurie Stephens Menk Walachek Wareham Wilson Wolfe UNDERCLASSMEN OFFICERS President . , , George Zimmerman Vice-President - - . _ Robert Cooper Recording Secretary ...

Yes, the time was ripe to take up where we left off back thai ' in— ' 43, so with Homecoming a rip-roaring reception was held at the Activities Cottage. And the following month saw the Informal Party, which included a buffet lunch and dance at the Lodge. Our Professional Meeting featured Dr. Sahli ' s talk on The Future of Teaching, after which followed a lively discussion by both brothers and faculty. At the Formal Initiation, nine pledges, after successfully warding off the slings and arrows of the inquisition board, were welcomed into the fold. With rush season about over, the Phi Sig Smoker came next. What with the traditional chicken-in-the-rough, a vaudeville show, and lots more besides, little wonder the profs collected little homework next day. After Hell Week, the Lodge became the scene of an impressive ceremony as our Formal Initiation found the frat still growing. Rounding out the year was the annual Founders ' Day Banquet held at the Country Club. Truly a big success, it was a fitting climax to a really grand year.

Pi Chapter of Sigma Tau Gamma threw wide the doors of its home to welcome back those Taus who had been in the service of a greater fraternity. Moving, painting, cleaning, and refur- nishing were the order of business for the first month of the year as the house was made habitable once again. The Homecoming game gave Pi the opportunity to entertain Taus from Xi Chapter, Fairmont. The Fall House party was a gala affair, with ex-Taus and their guests on hand for an evening of fun and food. Nine men were pledged in October, and the chapter adopted new rules to govern pledge week activities. Thirty-four Taus and their ladies attended the first post-war Inter-Fraternity Dance. The Second semester brought the Spring Houseparty. the Freshman Smoker and the sending of delegates to the National Conclave. Pi Chapter officiated at the installation ceremonies of the twenty-ninth chapter of Sigma Tau Gamma at Clarion State Teachers College early in the year. Taus from Clarion were entertained at the local house after the Clarion game on Novem- ber 2. 1947 has seen a successful year, and the Taus feel that they are well on the way to regaining their position as a leading campus force.

J The Sig I ' au IV ' ol Parlor Rush Season Open season on freshmen! The underclassmen could be legally rushed. Introductions to rushees were daily oc- curences. For once fraternities and sororities were forced to admit the existence of rival organizations. Time after time the innocents found themselves being greeted by total strangers who were stalking them in the supreme attempt to bag the limit. Sometimes too. the actives noticed those on the eligi- ble lists doing a bit of rushing. It was a rather strange experience to be given a cheery Hello by a previously unknown freshman. The end of rush season found all the Greek rosters well-padded with names of new brothers and sisters, and hostilities ended for another year.

It may be difficult to remember ail of the things tliat happened during that year, and even more difficult to remember the names and the faces of all of our friends of 1947. Especially is this true as time moves on. So during this intermission, the OAK takes you backstage and intjoduces you to the Personalities and Beauties of that year. And for more informal reminiscences some can- dids of the campus in which even you might be playing the leading role. The time is limited, and the drama must move on. but relax this moment. BETWEEN THE ACTS, as the curtain will shortly rise on the third and final act. £p e s o n The OAK proudly presents the Personalities for 1947, chosen by their fellows in a campus-wide, write-in election. Diverse as the elements of their characters be, these ten are the ones who stand out from the average enough to merit selection by their fellow students.

Kitty Ann Novick Carolyn Yorgey e7;e B yers lA iwk l •f r Marjorie Lawsom Joanna Joseph Lynn beauties Betty Jo Mitchell DRAMA Almost nightly the Auditorium was occupied by students rehearsing or preparing props for some produc- tion to be presented to the college. Major productions were presented at frequent intervals while one-act plays were prepared for a number of Convocations. During the Summer Session a Student Summer Theatre Project was initiated in which those who were interested took part in some phase of stage production. The complete direction and presentation of Blind Al- ley was under the supervision of students. The regular school year found an abundance of good plays. Pettycoat Fever and Butter and Egg Man were featured in the first semester and ' Children of the Moon was the major three act play of the sec- ond semester. However, emphasis was also placed on giving students the opportunity to direct one-act plays as a means of gaining greater facility in the theatre arts. The final production of the year was the annua! Swing- Out ' , student written, and produced. Curtain call for Finders Keepers cast. The climactic marriage scene from Petticoat Fever Back stage snack between scenes — CULTURAL LIFE Cultural Life is the source of an evening ' s relaxa- tion, a respite from study, and formost of all, an oppor- tunity to enjoy the best that the touring American and visiting artists have to present. Perhaps the highlight of the current season was the concert presented by the Pittsburgh Sympony Orches- tra. Among the fine arti sts to appear in the Audi- torium, Whitemore and Lowe, talented concert pianists, the Guardsmen Quartette, and Nancy Ness. Norwe- gian soprano soloist, left very favorable impressions as did the production of MacBeth ' which was pre- sented by a traveling company under the direction of Clair Tree Major. Charminq Nancy Ness and her accompanist The Guardsman Quartette ' hi;more and Lose at the Pianos The success of the Cultural Life program cannot be measured collectively but rather is a matter of a per- sonal scale of values. However, it can be said that the program is so widely diversified as to give to all tastes an opportunity to find a medium for enjoyment and re- laxation.

But in a truer sense they move out onto an even larger stage as they now see directly before them the goal towards which they have been working. This act sees them as they departed from Indiana realizing full well that Each bears his destiny. STUDENT TEACHING As a fitting climax to four years of learning and as the final step in the prepara- tion of the student for entering the teaching field the college requires one semester of practice teaching either in the Laboratory School or in other selected schools in the vicinity of Indiana. Under the watchful eyes of veteran teachers who keep them under constant sureveillance, correct their mistakes, and polish their techniques, the students rapidly acquire skills in the practical aspects of the teaching art. They teach classes, make tests, construct lesson plans, correct papers and — in short do all of the things they will be required to do in the actual practice of their profession.

In each class we can see ourselves as we were at that stage of our college career. We have much in common. Perhaps it is just vanity but somehow our class seems different. It is difficult to lay our hand on that intangible thing which sets our class apart from the others. Of course there is the spotlight playing on any Senior class and that may count for part of it. And there is the usual reminisc- ing over the past four years and the counting of the pleasures of the Prom ' s, that certain date, and the plans for the next vacation or the usual compensating reply when things went wrong. Wish I could get out of here. ' It was nice to look forward to the day when we would be Seniors and would be graduating. And it is nice being Seniors, Yes, it ' s nice, but where to from here? What is next? We realize only too well that all this glory can not last forever. The pleasures of the present and the reminiscing over the past are luxuries in which we can not afford to indulge too long. Today this is our Play ' and we are cast in the leads! The stage is ours. But tomorrow — ? That is what makes our class different. Other classes have probably felt the same but it hasn ' t been driven home to us so hard until today. Suddenly, school is behind us. What have we learned? How have we spent our college years? What does the future hold in store? The answers to these questions and to the many, many more pouring wildely through our heads will be answered shortly. We now face the future, the uncertain future, fully realizing that EACH BEARS HIS DESTINY OFFICERS William MacDonald - - . - President Helen Hendricks - . - .

And here should be flashed the familiar THE END But this drama has no end . . . only a beginning and a continual evolution of the action. That is what makes it so different from the usual productions. Here is only the beginning of a new life that has been made fuller and richer because the char- acters in this play ' are able ... to better understand for having learned. Here has been presented only the prelude to the greatest drama of all . . . the DRAMA OF LIFE. If in the years to come pleasurable experience can be had by recalling the first few acts as are herein presented, or if occasionally some little stimulus to meet life ' s challenge is gained through reminiscing with the year 1947. then we of the production staff feel fully rewarded in our efforts to present to you, YOUR PRODUCTION, THE OAK featurinji YOUR YEAR, 1947 on the campus of INDIANA STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE Om ' lluiulred Sixlv-one 17 North Eighth Street HOTEL MOORE Indiana, Pennsylvania Phone 1849 Shades of Arthur Murray Qreeiing to the Graduating Class and Student Body fro m THE PEOPLES NATURAL GAS COMPANY Serfing Homes and Industries in Western Pennsylvania One Hundred Si. ty-ti.i ' o G.
