Pechon President Pratt The primary purpose of Indiana State Teachers Col- lege is to prepare competent teachers for the public schools — intellectually, socially, and spiritually. In the past many people were of the opinion that teachers colleges emphasized largely methods of teaching rather than subject matter or content. This point of view is far from being a correct assessment of the situation. It is true that a teachers college emphasizes not only what to teach but the way in which the material should be presented. However, professional education is confined largely to the stu- dent ' s senior year and includes a semester of actual teaching which serves as a clinical experience. In the preceding years there is given general education which encompasses an understanding of the human- ities, natural sciences, and social sciences. Although the larger part of the students study is devoted to his major field, he is able to engage in the broad program of liberal education based on all depart- ments of the college. While this college is concerned with the social and spiritual development of its students, its primary emphasis is on liberal arts and intellectual growth. f Dr. Cordier i jM Dr. Davis ( o t M Dr. Nicholson Dr. Hadley Dr. Hoenstine iN ' A « Miss Newkerk Miss Esch Mr. Schnell Mr. Schuster Dr. StoufFer c One of ' he daily chores of our maintenance c e v| C3V Mr. Lingcnfelter Soke: Mr. FeUerman Student Cooperative Association w X Dr. Goldstrohn-i Or. a!ao Mrs. Scheffier Mrs. Dongello Student Health -- ' ' 1.-- JK.

No Frankenstein crea- tion he. From the moment of his conception our speci- men has been slov ly evolving as a product of hered- ity and environment. His present phase of develop- ment, dominated greatly by environmental influences, is perhaps his most complex. As a result of external stimulation, and contrary to the design of Nature, this pupil stage of man ' s metamorphosis is prob- ably also his most active. His energizer, and perhaps the most dominant factor in the student ' s transmuta- tion, is his instructor. Or. Bell 4 f« -J | «r« Mr. Brown Dr. Eiss Dr. Golloti Dr. Hoffmasfer Mr. Reiber Or. Seniz Dr, Shields Mr. Stapleton Mr. Strowcutter Mr. Woddell Dr. Kipp Departmenf Head 16 Art The professor may be considered an artist at work: before him on an easel of basic skills is o spattered canvas (the student ' s mind, a variegated obstraction of fundamental learning); having established the proper perspective, the educator dips into his palette (his own knowledge), then skillfully, thoughtfully, applies his colors. Should they blend with those al- ready on the canvas — fine; if they contrast — excellent! It is the clash of colors which is most likely to stimu- late the subject. Mr. Cronauer Mr. Ghrist Mrs. Hanten Dr. McVitty Mr. Reynolds Mr. Seelhorsf Mr. Drumheller DeparimenI Head 18 Business With its demond for raw materials having been sup- plied by the professor, the students brain meshes into gear. What an intricate machine it is! There are no buttons to be pressed, no keys to be punched in the feeding process. Because it is capable of perpetual production neither is there a warning bell to signal the end of the line is soon to come. Perhaps this mech- anism ' s most amazing feature is that no one knows what it is capable of manufacturing! Dr. Stoner Mr. Thomas Mrs. Boering Mrs. Hicks Miss Potterson Mr. Patterson , :5 fr .

This was acquired during the time of Dick and Jane, the Peterson and Palmer methods, and number flashcards. Now the student has probably made many new acquaintances through literature; his handwriting has very likely be- come a major expression of his individuality; the flash- cards have perhaps been replaced by books of math- ematical tables. But, as elementary as was that first phase, just as basic is this present stage in the learn- ing process. Miss Anderson Miss Kotilhepp Miss OToole C t: (5 © O r Dr. Rider Department Head 22 English-Speech The fourth r had to come late because of what had happened to the students ancestor — a chest-pounding, hairy Pithecanthropus (and not so very) erecfus who uttered a mere mono-syllabic grunt which probably had innumerable connotations. If a rather amicable cave dweller just happened to misvocalize o greeting to his wary, club-carrying neighbor, think of the result. All the neighbor needed to do was cudgel the poor misunderstood fellow and thus put an end to needless wrangling, snarl-grunting — and to the snarl-grunter himself. But the snarl-grunter learned to moke words before it was too late. He worshipped these words, made idols of his symbols, and landed himself in such a semantic confusion that as the centuries rolled by he found he hod to go to college and study all the words, their origin, their relation to the extensional world, and their use in great poems. Mrs. Beck Dr. Bells Mr. Biel Dr. Boardmon Dr. Carr Mrs LIutler Mr. Ensley Mr. Furgiuele i;v, Dr. Bieghler Department Head 24 Foreign Languages After these snarl-grunfers made words they discovered other snorl-grunters scattered over the valleys and deserts. Alas, they hod made different words for the some things. Now their descendant (our student) must learn not only his own words but theirs too if he is to enlarge hi s ocquaintance. An almost endless mul- tiplication of languages throughout the centuries hos imposed on the educated mon today the necessity of being a man of many tongues. Mrss Colom IW Dr. Lee Department Head 26 Social Studies Man has learned, though, thot the language barrier is not the only one which exists in his environment. In this stage of his development the student realizes that he has become port of a world full of economic problems and social issues. Having learned as a child to be a good citizen in the home, he now explores the cultural concepts and institutions of a larger society. He studies carefully the duties expected of citizens in other cultural groups. Then, judging thought- fully, weighing methodically, and speculating widely about the functioning of these organizations, he be- comes his own historian.

It is here that basic patterns of governnnent, co-operation, responsi- bility, and leadership are cut. When the material is stretched, wide seams ore left so that alterations may easily be mode as the weorer outgrows the garment. As he moves through family life to school life, to church life, and finally to public life, his experience stretches him. Good patterns need not be changed. The style of the garment is still good if it was cut right to start with and if room was allowed for growth. He can move with grace, all parts free to walk with his fellows, keeping time to the tune. 1 V ; L J h .k.

Some- where in the multiple themes of the sociol symphony he must find his place. Perhaps at this stage of devel- opment it will be necessary for him to rely upon assistance of a leader — someone capable of conduct- ing him in on adjustment to the tempo of life around him. There may very likely be certain measures at which he will balk, but after diligent practice the student ' s cacophonic protests will usually have sub- sided to melodious synchronization with his world.

With a reflexive action man ' s only means of defense may be to strike his adversary. If he were to utilize his energies, on the other hand, in becoming a playmate rather than an opponent; if he were to condition himself in shared recreation with his neighbor; the co-operation, good sportsman- ship, and the ability to give and take that would develop would far outweigh any bulging biceps capa- ble of smashing the jaw of his fellow man. 4 Mr, Daugherty Miss Eliott Miss Podbielstti Mr. Shaffer Mr. Smith -f i, - At times, however, no amount of effort can bring about camaraderie. On on international scale tfiis is serious. Then the energies of not an individual but a group of people — those trained in military tactics — are required to restore peace. ISTC has provided the opportunity for quolifying male students to receive basic training in military science. The connotation usually associated with this type of preparation is a rather unpleasant one— war. Seldom considered per- haps are the personal benefits of this instruction- leadership, ability to follow directions, self-discipline, action under pressure. 34 Military Science Kow ) Mo|or Skinner, U.

Eoson, Sergeont Kulkosky Indiono rifle teon Dr. Mahachek Department Head 36 Mathematics All in all, this is a time of concentrated intellectual growth. This is the stoge when the mind of mon recognizes the complexities of the universe; this is perhops o period of mathematical paradox: the stu- dent should not only be making additions to his basic knowledge, but he should also be making subtractions porticularly of unsubstantiated ideas. The calculating individual which is being transfigured is expected to construct fundamentol concepts for future problem solving. Mr. Govala Mrs. Kipp Mr. McKinley Dr. Slfight 1 Dr. Dov s. Director of Sfudenf Teaching and Placement 38 Student Teaching The ultimate test of his skills will be mode when the time arrives for the student to put them into practice. These will be days of lesson plans, chalk dust, and the manifestation of that supreme requirement of a good teacher — patience. The student teacher must bear in mind that the learning process takes time. (Doesn ' t he, after all, remember how slowly his own education evolved? He knows, too, this was an expe- rience guided by professionals in their field.) There- fore, he adopts the principle practiced by those much wiser than he; and patiently but eagerly he awaits the first sign of anticipated response from his students. Dr. Bloir Mrs. Fleming Miss Gottschalt Dr. Hoenstine Miss Lingenfeller |1 Js 1 « mw Miss McCoy Mrs. Shank Miss Wolthour Mr. Worren Dr. Lore Department Head 40 Psychology and Education Although just a novice at the time he does his prac- tice work the future teacher is well-equipped with educational techniques. From professional education classes he has learned the importance of sensory materials and experiences involved in the psycholog- icol aspects of the learning process. This is the period of his experimenting with these theories. As he ob- serves the results of his testing it is very likely that he will analyze individual student reactions, behavior, and achievements. Thus, it is highly probable that the complexity of the phenomenon of his own intel- lectual growth may be reinforced in his mind. Dr. Ristieberger Mr. Sorgenf Dr. Shelley Dr. Snyder m0- ' ' ■ Dr. Allen Mr. Hays Dr. McCluer Mr. Murray J h ' ' .A i - ' Dr. Mewha Department Head 42 Geography The Indiana student has travelled many lands in his intellectual evolution. He may perhaps be likened to his desert-dwelling neighbors across the ocean. The wanderings of these people are necessitated by the need of food for their herds; the pupils nomadic journeys are dictated by his hunger for education. Once he has exhausted the resources available in one place he goes to another, thus migrating from the home, to the high school, to the college. Where on the vast continent of knowledge will his travels take him once he has left the realm of ISTC? Mr. Goult Mr. Payne Dr. Winslo Dr. Zink r m Graduate School ISTC recognizes that those who do not continue their education all their lives do not attain their full growth. So to help direct graduates in further growth the col- lege has instituted a graduate school, and in August 1958 graduated its first class with master ' s degrees in elementary education. And now the school itself is growing, extending its offerings to prepare graduates for master ' s degrees in the secondary field. The summer session of 1959 will see English and history and geography grads in the library and science grads in the labs. Dr. I. L. Strighl, Director of Gradu- ate Studies Religious Life Committee The Religious Life Committee is responsible for campus religious activities of the Indiana students. It recognizes the numerous denominational faiths existing on the campus and, working with the College ' s active religious groups, sponsors one week during the school term de- voted to the emphasis of religion. During Religion in Life Week leaders in the various sects are brought to the campus. This is not a week of preaching, but a time of informal discussions and open gatherings of students and speakers. Through information gained, quite fre- quently the ultimate purpose of this week ' s functions is achieved — enlightment to erase religious prejudice and develop among the students tolerance for the multiple means of worship of our common God. Religious Life Committee meet with their adviser, Dr. Sohii 44 •W • ' :M. Ml. Laffonchte Miss litllendd Miss Pornell Library A well-balanced diet contributes just as much to in- tellectual development as it does to physical devel- opment. Mans major source of food for thought is books. The large variety of sweets and sours in Wilson Hall Library whet the appetite of the student. He must learn to select wisely that foodstuff which will best satisfy his hunger. 45 ( ' L l-A Kappa Delta Pi Open to all students in the college who have better than a B average, the honorary educational frater- nity aims at fostering high stondards for preporation for teaching. Very likely, this moy be the underlying purpose of every other honorary society on campus.

Talent, however, is not the only part of the individual which is developed during work in the theater. Although the student does acquire knowledge of acting techniques, costume, light, and make-up practices, it is very likely that aspects of social growth receive the greatest em- phasis. Very few can participate in dramatics without advancing, to some degree, personal standards of re- sponsibility, dependability, and co-operation.

Through closed and open recitals during the year musical competence is developed; in addition the soci- ety encourages music appreciation and acquaintance with composers and their compositions, and stimulates fellowship through a shared interest. Pol Wilkinson Mrs. Horrold, Adviser :. Abs 4C .;a ' ' Delta Phi Delta Those who belong to the honorary art fraternity have perhaps learned best how to accept criticism — either destructive or constructive. With numerous displays of their work appearing on campus they are frequently ex- posed to a variety of opinions. Through open discus- sions of these judgments, however, the organization is able to fulfill its purpose — to create, stimulate, and de- velop art interests among the college students. f Carol Beck Josephine Butz Edword Corlos Thomas Crane Thomas Curry zs - Rose Marie Gogo Katherine Mollis Myra Kelly Alan Londis Mr. Seelhorsf, Adviser 50 James Cartwright Frances Feduslco Patricio Moore Fred Pickup Alpha Omega Gamma Although its chief purpose is to advance professional interests and help establish contacts in the field, this honorary geography fraternity also performs other functions having great value for its members. Informal discussions with v orld travellers alert students to the living conditions of people in all corners of the globe; field trips provide the opportunity for on-the-spot sur- veys of man and his industries; panel discussions en- able opinions to be informed on contemporary man ' s economic and social status quo, his struggles with and against nature, and his methods of meeting personal needs of food, clothing, shelter. Francis Solvomo et Dr. Zink, Advisor Gamma Rho Tau The business department ' s honorary fraternity for men selects for membership those students who show distinct promise as future teachers. Designed to keep members well informed on current events, frequent discussions are held during which contemporary business trends are examined. Emphasizing service as the ideal founda- tion of all creditable enterprises, the organization spon- sors a number of community projects from which not only those in the society, but all members of the depart- ment benefit. k Roland Cavatoni Anthony Dalessandro James Hetnck Bosil Hobar -I ' ' ' 4 William Lance -• Allan Lindsfrom Richard McClure Chris Otto Frank Sebastian Dr. Stoner, Adviser 52 Pi Omega Pi Another business education honorary organization is Pi Omega Pi. This is open by invitation to both men and women students in the department who evince a high scholastic and social record. The desire of the organization, frequently working in conjunction with Gamma Rho Tau, is to create in its members interest in commerce and to promote high ethical standards in professional and business life.

' These girls, while training for their profession, have become much more than good cooks, seamstresses, and potential homemakers. They have become problem solvers. In them has been instilled a definite responsibility for solving social and economic problems, coupled with the development of higher ideals of living and a broader social, intellec- tual and cultural attainment.

Through the frater- nity its members are ofForded an excellent opportunity to put into practice speech correction techniques learn- ed in various classes. By working in the campus clinic under the supervision of the head clinician, students are exposed to situations typical of those which they may encounter when working after graduation. Through clinic work, also, is provided the opportunity for attain- ment of the highest degree of membership — honor level. 56 |IN mm Junior Class An important person on Indiana ' s campus is the jun- ior. With the senior busy student teaching off cam- pus, everything falls on him, he says. He has to keep the wheels turning — plan dances, arrange pro- grams, serve on committees. He has grown into big jobs entailin g responsibility and leadership. Along with all this he has to study — and how. He is now specializing in a ma|or field where he repeatedly hears If you expect to teach you must know your material. Sometimes he feels that he must be suf- fering from growing pains. The lunior doss officers 58 The sophomore doss officers Sophomore Class One step aheod of the freshmen, two steps behind the graduating class, the sophomore is no longer a child, not yet a man. He is very much a social being, winning elections to club ofTices, serving on commit- tees, giving seasoned advice to incoming students, searching for answers to questions that had not oc- curred to him a year ago. He wears a look of self- assurance, hard earned and well deserved. He wears new clothes too, having outgrown the old ones — the provincial ideas, the outworn prejudices, he packed with him when he came to ISTC in 1957. Freshman Class The child is father of the man, we like to soy. This freshman child will be the man we here at Indiana make him. When he oppears in 1962 on our senior pages he will have been stretched to a good height, we hope. We don ' t intend to pour him into a mold. We may pull and tug and bend him, but twist him we won t. We don t want to shape him either. We want him to shape himself by straining for giant stature, becoming the best man his childhood can moke him father to.

Discology in the dorms 81 AAemoriam Dr. Alan P. Mewha Dr. Alan P. Mewha won our esteem In his three years here. As a geographer we valued him, as did the many geography societies to which he contributed his ideas and his labors. As a teacher we valued him for the training he gave us in scientific precision and creative inquiry. As a man he inspired us by the example of his selfless activities and his great zest for life. With eager curiosity he explored the natural world; with humanitarian concern he examined the social world. Always he was eager to do his part in making a better world. We may say that he has done his part in inspiring us to carry on his work. 84 Dr. Rhodes R, Slobiey Dr. Rhodes R. Stable served our college for sixteen years, developing teachers ond writers. For years after their graduation he was their leader in professional societies. A sportsman who loved to swing a golf club or cheer a ball team, he was also a scholar. His interests ranged over science, religion, and the arts. He searched for beauty, and he searched for truth, wherever they were to be found. In the true Emersonian sense he was a scholar, a leader among men. He was Man Thinking. Those working under him felt they were working with him. Students worked for him. He worked for all. Dr. Stabley is lost to us, but his worth and his work will never be lost. 85 The cornerstone of Indiana ' s campus is growth. We ore expanding at a fast pace, with our enrollment increas- ing greatly every year. To offer students more dormi- tory space and more and better classroom facilities we are in the process of constructing several new buildings. Already underway are two new dormitories — one for men and one for women, besides a new science build- ing and a new music building. Several other additions are being considered. To commemorate these new buildings a cornerstone dedication ceremony was held this winter. Visiting dig- nitaries dedicated and ofFicially named each of the new buildings. This official opening marked an impor- tant step in Indiana ' s expansion program. Because we are growing so much physically we will be able to provide more students with an opportu- nity for them to grow also — intellectually, socially and physically. Each of us benefits from this growth, and as we grow along with our school, we become better pre- pared to guide others in their growth. This is the ulti- mate goal of the teaching profession.

We have emphasized the ways in which these activities have contributed to the growth of the students. Through our work we, too, have grown: socially, through hurried conver- sations over gulped cups of coffee; physically, through pushing pencils and pounding type- writers; and religiously, by crossing our fingers and whispering a fervent prayer that we meet our deadline!

Lucker, Adviser 157 Penn A newspaper has certain obligations to the society it serves. It must act as informer, entertainer, interpreter, and guide for its public. If the newspaper is to success- fully and satisfactorily fulfill these obligations it must be independent; it must be accurate; it must be fair, hon- est and decent. THE INDIANA PENN, ISTCs weekly newspaper, is a reflection of the personalities that have successfully performed these duties. In the field of good journalism there is no room for the person easily swayed into alliance with a power — good or bad — desiring presentation of facts only as it wants the public to receive them (the reporter should, instead, seek out the truth and present it as it exists; he must be independent). Neither is there room for the dis- play of partiality (where two opposing sides of an issue exist the reporter should present both sides; he must be fair). The tactless individual should not seek a position in the journalistic fleld for a certain amount of good taste and decency is required in the way a reporter goes about getting his news. The honesty and accuracy of the individual come to the fore when the journalist writes his findings. But why restrict these demands for decency, honesty, and fidelity to the journalist? Don ' t these duties seem to be those expected of every good citizen? . . . Yes, and the PENN staff has an excellent opportunity to get one jump ahead of us . . . I Chuck Gides, FirsI Semester Editor Dr. Nicholson, Adviser Alice Gelston, Second Semesler Editor The Student Writes The Indiana Student Writes is more than a col- lection of student-produced literature and art work. It is a cross sectional representation of the variety of personalities on the Indiana campus. Poems, stories, and pictures contributed by the students symbolize the fulfillment of some creative urge which they hove experienced. The contents of the book Indicate the students ' efforts for self-expression. By sympathizing with the thoughts of the creator of some piece, a reader may see more deeply into the personalities of his classmates, knowing them better than he might know them in the flesh. The Sludenl Writes stofF The Cue staff The Cue The student ' s guide to all his social activities is a handbook called The Cue. It is particularly help- ful to the freshman as he studies its map in order to learn the geography of the campus and as he reads, re-reads, and reads again its list of college regulations in order to become familiar with our rules for social behavior. If he desires to join a club, all the student needs to do is turn in his copy of the book to the section giving a detailed description of every college organization, then read thoughtfully, and then make his choice. By following the calendar of scheduled activities in the back of The Cue the student is certain to be up-to-date on oil social functionings. 160 ' y Student Christian Association The Student Christian Association, an organization for interdenominational fellowship, makes its contri- bution on campus by encouraging the growth of religious feeling and service. Being interdenomina- tional, it promotes a broadening of religious con- cepts and a deepening of understanding of those concepts. It applies the principle of religious com- munion and religious tolerance in organizing social activities as well as devotional services for those sharing a Christian faith. 162 Graystone United Presbyterian Club ISTC ' s United Presbyterian College Club is a campus religious organization affiliated with the Indiana com- munity Graystone United Presbyterian Church. This church conducts o special Sunday School class for the college students. Members of the United Presbyterian Club participate in weekly Sunday meetings where various problems and ideas are discussed. In addition to these meetings, once a month the club has a supper for its members. Various parties and get-togethers are held throughout the term, with a picnic usually climax- ing the year ' s activities. Calvary United Presbyterian Club This year all North American Presbyterian churches merged and are now known as the United Presbyterian churches. With this merger, the parent church of iSTC ' s Presbyterian Club has become the Calvary United Pres- byterian Church. Through weekly meetings club mem- bers are given the opportunity to bring into the open problems confronting them. Through a sharing of ideas, a feeling of security and belongingness is fostered. Spiritual growth, too, is nurtured through Bible study, with the members relating their findings and under- standing to present-day situations. cr SS Campus Christian Fellowship Re-activoted this year is the Campus Christian Fellow- ship. An eager and earnest group devoted first of all to sharing spiritual values, they have found they share also fun and friendship. Beginning anew, as this group has done, they are expected to grow to great strength. Their revival is a promising sign of the great growth of feeling and enthusiasm within the group. It shows also that this student body is growing, filling more needs, embracing more faiths. •■Jl- . h ' cJ s -r 165 iXP o t, Lutheran Club During a campus year Lutherans have a chance to grow both broad and tall. Spiritually they stretch high in their vesper programs, reaching towards their ideal, taking others with them too, especially when they sponsor vesper service for the whole College. Socially they broaden by taking into their activities, such as dinners and smorgasbords, their friends of other faiths. 166 Methodist Club For others — more than a hundred others — spiritual growth is provided by the Methodist Club, at church suppers and worship services. Believing that the charitable spirit should be manifested in charitable acts, the young Methodists raise money to help support needy students abroad and to help finance foreign missions. Newman Club The Newman Club is ISTC ' s religious organization for Roman Catholic students. Through frequent com- munion breakfasts this society, while emphasizing its primary purpose — to instill in its members a deeper appreciation of their common faith, also provides the opportunity for fellowship among the students. Dances, sometimes chaperoned by cardboard monks and nuns, are occasionally held in the new hall which the club purchased this year. During Indiana ' s annual Religion in Life Week they join other reli- gious groups in bringing representatives of their faith to lead open discussions on campus. 168 Orthodox Christian Fellowship The Orthodox Christian Fellowship is made up of many good fellows, friends to all and loyal to each other. In devotional services they encourage piety; in social gatherings, propriety. They are growing in numbers, and their numbers are growing in religious maturity as they participate in devotions, as they ar- range their programs, and as they work with other groups during Religion in Life Week. Their organiza- tion gives its members a sense of belonging to each other, to their fellow man, and to God. k ALPHA PHI OMEGA Organized this year as a new fraternity at ISTC is APO, Alpha Phi Omega, a national service organization com- posed of college men who are or have been affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America. Because the men were busy with formalities of organization and arrangement not much was heard from their end of campus this term; however, with their purpose being to assemble college men in the fellowship of the Scout Oath and Law, de- velop friendship, and promote service to humanity, they promise to be quite active in the near-future. Student Council STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS President Raymond Vernall Vice-President Marsha Lucas Treasurer Ellen Cioni Corresponding Secretary Margaret Barnetl Recording Secretary James Bowster Ray Vernoll, President The student governing body at ISTC is composed of representatives fronn the eleven departments of the Col- lege. Presidents of various organizations and the four classes are also members. In annual campus-vi ' ide elections the student body is given the privilege to select those persons it feels most capable of conducting the functions of this organization in the capacity of president, vice-president, recording secretary, corresponding secretary, and treasurer. Thus, the students are given the opportunity to vveigh care- fully and analyze critically the character of individual nominees. By participating in these elections, the stu- dent body realizes it has a responsibility to itself — it must choose those individuals most representative of the general decorum of the ISTC campus. The persons elected to the major offices of Student Council also have their responsibilities — responsibilities related primarily to the welfare of the students whom they represent. Among the Council ' s duties are included holding open discussions of student problems, promot- ing a feeling of friendliness on campus, maintaining the democratic ideals of the College, and providing for uni- fication of action on a campus-wide basis. 173 v t : Women ' s Judicial Board The Judicial Board is the law enforcement division of the Women ' s Collegiate Association. It reviews misdemeanors of women students and administers fit- ting penalties. Because this organization functions pri- marily on an honor system, with students being ex- pected to report any infractions of college regula- tions which they themselves may commit, it has be- come, perhaps, the major stimulus for the growth of the socially desirable traits of honesty and respon- sibility. International Relations Club The International Relations Club has been established primarily as a means of acquainting its members with current international affairs. Through campus forums the students are prepared for active participation in the discussion of world events. To take part in these discussions club members frequently visit other cam- puses, which may be regarded as foreign territories. Thus, these people are provided the opportunity to exercise intercollegiate social relationships that, should the occasion ever be afforded, might well serve as a basis for successful interpersonal associations with other people in their native lands. C% Women ' s Collegiate Association The Women ' s Collegiate Association, composed of all women students registered in the college and liv- ing in dormitories or college controlled houses, is a self-governing body which, under the supervision of the Dean of Women, is responsible for establishing general decorum, house regulations, and social priv- ileges of the co-eds. They are grown-up — or rapidly growing. They make their own rules of social behav- ior and they see these rules imposed. They have developed in us the patterns of adult behavior. Their efforts show their social growth and ours too. The Non-Resident Women ' s League, a group of com- muting women and those living off college grounds, has been established for the purpose of bringing campus life to these students. Through frequent teas and meetings they are able to participate in various scheduled social activities and acquire new friendships among fellow commuters. They widen their social circle. Non-Resident Women ' s League Masquers The Masquers is an all-college theatrical organization designed for the improvement of drama and the theater on the ISTC campus. Because it is open to all students, the club provides opportunities for those who are not specialists in speech to participate in dramatic produc- tion. For the really active and enthusiastic student the Masquers frequently serves as a stepping stone to membership in Alpha Psi Omega, the national honorary dramatics fraternity. Tea and Tour Committee Socially representative of the student body, the Tea and Tour Committee serves as social host to visitors on the Indiana campus. Its specific duties include enter- taining — by means of refreshments and a guided tour of the college — any parents who may accompany pros- pective students on scheduled entrance testing days. Such contacts provide the opportunity for members to engage in conversation with parents, to gain by prac- tice the decorum they will later need on parents ' visit- ing day in the little red schoolhouse. Betsy Berger and Dave Bird Cultural Life Committee Educational growth is four dimensional, extending into the leisure time activities, for which the Cultural Life Committee provides six evenings of professional enter- tainment selected from the best of touring dancers, musicians, and acting troupes. Students serving with faculty members on the com- mittee learn as well as enjoy: they work on the prob- lems of budgeting and scheduling; they serve as hosts to visiting celebrities, arranging teas and receptions with the distinguished performers. m m Marching Band Symphony Orchestra V 4 1 llllHi College Band String Orchestra Glee Club ' j - ' r i !

After losing their first game to California STC, the conference cham- pions, the Big Indians went on to a four game winning streak climaxed on Homecoming. Before an overflow crowd of 7,000 the Braves trounced a highly favored Carnegie Tech team 21-0.

In a season marred by injuries, the Braves still dished out the brand of basket- ball the fans wanted to see. The student body responded and packed Waller Gym to ca- pacity for each game. Sparked by senior star Jamie Kimbrough, the crippled quintette dis- played the fine teamwork and good sports- manship which made them the champions that they are. ' ■ ' 72 Wrestling This year Coach Lew Shaffer ' s ISTC wrestling team faced a rugged ten meet schedule and finished the sea- son with record of three wins, six losses, and one tie. The Indiana wrestling squad is probably the most unique in the state for it includes a blind wrestler, Arnie Bowser, and a grappler with only one arm, Paul Ko- ontz. The year was highlighted by the excellent work of senior Ron Frey, and freshman Bill McCreory. Coach ' s Shaffer and Tanzola will lose only Frey by graduation and look forward to a powerhouse in 1960. Row 1: Charles Gray, Bill McCreory, Paul Koontz, Bob King, Tom Donn.

Baseball The miserable weather which held early spring practice to a minimum didn ' t stop the 1958 I.S.T.C. baseball team from compiling the best record in years. The rainy weather didn ' t dampen the spirits of the Braves as they won their first five games in a row. Seniors Jack Bizyak, John Barley, and Max Anderson will leave a large gap that coaches Smith and Dougherty will have to fill.

Coach McKinley will have quite a problem replacing his two net stars, Ruth Martin and Jerry Lasso, who will be lost by graduation. Jerry Lasso, Ruth Martin Golf The ISTC golf team for 1958 posted an impressive rec- ord of 7 wins and 2 defeats. Although such mainstays as George Hershey, Jack Shubert, and George May- field will be lost by graduation.

Wall flowers Intramural Sports One aim of education is to teach people wise use of leisure time. By promoting intramural sports tourna- ments Indiana has adopted to its curriculum the oppor- tunity for all students, particularly those not physically able to compete in the more strenuous activities, to achieve this ultimate goal. However, more immediate results of participation in intramurals are rather obvious — present enjoyment and improvement of health; de- velopment of good sportsmanship and fair play; a gathering of knowledge of rules and skills which may lead the student to organize and promote similar activi- ties in the public schools.

Physical activity is as popular with the Indiana coeds as it is with the men. Monday is women ' s night in the gym, and unless a varsity game is scheduled, the coeds stream into the gym, eager for competition. Volleyball and basketball leagues are formed, and each week the teams vie for leadership. Not only does this afford an opportunity for healthful physical activity, but it also gives the girls an opportunity to meet new friends and to learn teamwork and good sportsmanship. Women ' s Athletic Association Men ' s Varsity I The Men ' s Varsity I is made up of students who have been certified by the College Athletic Committee as having won a letter — a Varsity I in any one of the college sports. This letter, however, stands not only for physical prowess but also for creditable academic abil- ity, because only those students meeting scholastic re- quirements are considered for membership. Thus it is realized that brawn and brains con mix. Row 1: Jim McKay, Tom Bishop, Roy Boseiti, Pat Conley, Jim Falis, Jim Fleming.

Cheerleaders With good, healthy cheers and peppy, precisioned moneuvers our cheerleaders are frequently able to instill in our athletic teams that final spurt of energy which many times has helped to make happy victors of our exhausted men. These seemingly tireless girls oided by our Indian chief and squaw ore many times seen shivering in the cold or dripping with roin, but always on the sidelines urging our boys to victory. r Plf y f % The first snowfall of the year usually finds the Winter Sports Club enthusiasts dotting the hills around the Col- lege lodge, getting in shape for a season of toboggan- ing, skiing, and sledding — that is, provided there ' s snow. The nippy weather, however, brings with it more than rosy cheeks, frosted fingertips, and red noses. While thawing out around the fireploce of the lodge, the sports lovers moke many friendships that last long after the snow melts.
