YE PEDAQOGUE .. .1934 A T I-I I. E T I C DEPARTMENT UR prospective peda- gogues of the Athletic Department consider this a successful year of work and play. After weeks of training in gym classes the endball tourna- ment which resulted in a vic- tory for the sophomores was played. . Next came volley-ball with many sore and aching wrists, but by tournament time in Jan- uary each class Was ready to show its prowess. The fresh- men exhibited their athletic su- periority, and in the tournament defeated the sophomores. The culmination of the volley-ball season came with the se- lection of the varsity volley-ball team. Basket ball season brought much interest and enthusiasm, for all were Working toward membership on the basket ball varsity. A system of practicing for points through field goals, free throws, et cetera was used this year for team eligibility. This was a means of improvement. The tournament was run off the last week of March, and after close contests the Juniors reigned supreme. Baseball and tennis are yet to be played. Other athletic activities which are not for- gotten are ping-pong, golf, hiking, skating, and horseback riding. Some interesting horseback rides are planned for this spring, and those interested in golf will probably be seen on various courses. The Teachers Col- lege foursome might surprise those who fol- low the game. Page Twenty-six The swimming department under the best of instruction is to have a swimming meet as the culmination of the year's work and many expert swimmers and a fine group of life-savers will appear. A well-rounded personality includes physi- cal as well as mental development, and that is the objective toward which the Athletic department is striving.

YE PEDAGOGUE. .I934 A T I-1 L E T I C ASSCDCIATICDIXI HE Athletic Association has as its pur- pose the sponsoring of all athletic ac- tivities connected with Teachers College. The first sporting event of the season was a pot-luck supper and skating party for the new club members. Ups and downs, skins and bumps, made a fitting initiation for embryonic sportsmen. Due to changes in the activity schedule, meetings have been rather irregular this year, but in spite of that fact many things have been accomplished. A committee has been working on a new point system and expects to have one ready for use next fall. It has been investigating other college systems and hopes to have an ideal one to submit before school closes. The Athletic Association does not fail to do its part in T, C. activities. It sponsors an all school Field Day, a springplay day for students and faculty. On this day class and individual awards are given, and quite frequently some hitherto unknown ability is disclosed: for instance, did you know that Miss Serl was the champion nail-driver of T. C.? And so all have a good time, and receive their deserved awards. OFFICERS President ...... ...... A LICE MOFFAT Vice-President ...... .......... D ULCIE BAIRD Secretary-Treasurer .... . . .

YE PEDAGOGUE. .l934 MENS CLUB XACTLY five years ago the men stu- dents of Teachers College were for the first time given a page in Ye Pedagogue. In looking through the records of the lVlen's Club we found the original copy of the ar- ticle which appeared on this page, and which we reprint below. Quote: ln the last few years the teaching profes- sion seems to have been dominated by women. One indication of this is the fact that since its beginning men students have rarely been seen in the halls of Teachers Col- lege. Last year, however, two boys had the courage to invade this feminine domain. At the beginning of this school year three more entered, and with the beginning of the school semester another trio took courage and joined the masculine ranks. These men, however, were conscious of the many odds against them. They were not only few in number, but their rights seemed never to have been provided for. Believing that in union there is strength, they decided to organize at club for the purpose of pro- moting comradeship among the men students, in the interests of Teachers College. In March, 1929, seven men met, pro- posed and adopted a constitution, and elected the first set of officers of the lVlen's Club of Teachers College. We are, however, living in yet higher hopes. We are looking toward next year when fate shall perchance send more men to encourage our lonely hearts and strengthen our organization. The Men's Club has continued to exist these five years and during this time over fifty men have been enrolled in regular ses- sions of Teachers College. Although an in- creased tuition has caused our ranks to be- come somewhat decreased in number, we take inspiration from this first article and reiter- ate,- We are looking toward next year when fate shall perchance send more men to encourage our lonely hearts and strengthen our organization. The officers of the Men's Club for this year are: President ....... ...... J AMES REDMOND Vice-President ...... ...... E LWOOD SHIRLING Secretary ana' Treasurer .... WILLIAM DILLENBECK Faculty Adviser .... ............. A . W. GILBERT The first semester enrollment in the club included: Ernesto Antonio, Dwight E. Bal- lard, Casimiro Desierto, Wm. H. Dillenbeck, Jr., James Redmond, Elwood Shirling, Ed- ward Weld, Max Williams, and Parker Latshaw. The second semester enrollment includes: ,Ernesto Antonio, Dwight Ballard, Frank Good, James Redmond, Elwood Shirl- ing, and Parker Latshaw. Page Twenty-seven
