7 HE class of 1949 is proud to dedicate its yearbook to one who is well known as an understanding educator and a valuable advisor. Mr. Bright Wilkes Beck has been esteemed by both faculty and students for his sincere friendliness. Mr. Beck joined the Kutztown State Teachers College faculty in 1913 and has been an able professor of social sciences since that time. Before being appointed to his Kutztown position, Mr. Beck taught social studies in the high schools of Cressona and Auburn, Pennsylvania. Mr. Beck studied at Bucknell University, obtaining his Ph.B. degree from that institution, and at Columbia University where he received his M.A. degree. We wish to take this opportunity to express our appreciation and respect to one who has served so competently in the field of education.

• ALMA MATER • Where stately trees are bending. Where Nature's glories shine. And loveliness unending In beauty rare combine. There rise the Kutztown towers. And there the College stands. The well-spring of our powers— The shrine our love commands About her happy hall-ways Our fondest memories cling. Of days that we shall always In joyous rapture sing: Firm as a keystone they stand, Round which we shared life s span. She taught the source of all good: Who serves God must serve man. And we will ever love her And live to spread her fame; Our lives shall add new lustre Unto her glorious name; As guardians of her new day Our work will ever be. To labor so that she may Achieve her destiny. CLYDE F. LYTLE IN MEMORIAM . . . 7HE faculty and student body note with deep regret the passing of Miss Esther E.

In 1938 she became fourth grade supervisor in the Laboratory School. Ill health made it necessary for her to resign on Septem- ber 1. 1948. Miss Jastram also taught in the schools of Wisconsin and Nebraska and did extensive traveling throughout the United States and Mexico. Her friendship and understanding will always remain in the minds and hearts of those who knew her. ESTHER E. JASTRAM
