Guiding the college careers of future Pennsylvania teachers is a job that re- quires the wisdom of experience, abil- ity to make decisions, and coopera- tion. The administrative staff not only must be familiar with the individual records of students, but also must handle finances and public relations of the college. Through all this, their personal interest gives us confidence that we are on the right track toward taking our places in the schools of the commonwealth. (. Attcl Leroy H.

Dr. and Mrs. Pratt in their apartment. administration For more than three quarters of a century, Indiana has been preparing teachers for the public schools of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Throughout the years this has been an honored and important undertaking. The roots of our democratic system have been nurtured and strengthened by our public school system. The public recognition of the impor- tance of education in a democratic society has ele- vated teaching to a professional status of great importance in our society. The future of the nation, and indeed of the world, depends today upon an educated citizenry. The challenges confronting our democratic way of life have been, and will be in the future, successfully met by our educational system. The preservation of democracy in America can be credited largely to the Mary L. Esch, Registrar William Schuster, Business Manager, Ond John Lingenfelter, Treasurer of the Student Cooperative Associa- tion. loyalty and selfless service of the teachers in our public schools. The future of America can only be assured if we prepare well-qualified teachers to inculcate in the youth of our land the democratic ideals for which America stands. Teaching in the future assumes an even greater role in the destiny of mankind. Teachers will be called upon in the years ahead, not only to preserve democracy throughout the world, but to bring sup- pressed peoples everywhere the truth that shall make them free . We know that only in an enlight- ened world can there be peace and stability which all men covet. Indiana is one of the chief institutions in the country whose sole responsibility is to prepare young men and women to be teachers of tomorrow, equipped not only to preserve the tenets of democracy at home but to carry the light of knowledge and truth throughout the world. .

Opportunities to specialize in one or more of the art fields, and at the same time to acquire a broad cultural background, comprise the Art Department curriculum. Outside actual classroom work, the de- partment activities center around the Art Club and its subdivisions, the Crafts Guild and the Photography Club. This year we enjoyed a spirited Christmas party, staged the annual Beaux Arts Ball in April, with an Arabian Nights setting, and held the clothesline exhibit of paintings at Swing Out. Officers of the Art Club are Bill Pasternak, president; Tom Lehnert, vice-president; Joann Wehler, secre- tary; and Paul Erickson, treasurer. Art students welcome freshmen.
